BEIJING, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) According to a report by Bloomberg local time on Oct. 9, Hungarian Prime Minister Orban said that it would be counterproductive for the EU to impose tariffs on electric vehicles in China.

　　According to reports, in his speech on the 9th, Orban criticized the European Union for not considering the interests of the European automobile industry when setting environmental targets. He told the European Parliament that the lack of planning means that the automobile industry will be "bleeding", and supporting the decision to impose tariffs on China’s electric vehicles will only lead to more unemployment.

　　According to Agence France-Presse reported earlier, EU member states recently voted to pass the final draft of the EU anti-subsidy case on electric vehicles submitted by the European Commission, among which five EU member states including Hungary and Germany voted against it, while 12 countries including Spain and Sweden abstained.

　　On October 9th, a spokesman for China’s Ministry of Commerce said that the EU’s countervailing investigation on China’s electric vehicles was not based on industrial application. In fact, the relevant European member States and their industries also had great objections. The relevant measures taken by the European side are seriously lacking in factual and legal basis, obviously violating WTO rules, and practicing trade protectionism in the name of trade remedy.

　　The spokesman said that China has always opposed the abuse of trade remedy measures and urged the European side to immediately correct its wrong practices and jointly safeguard the overall economic and trade situation between China and Europe.

　　

Your support and encouragement are the driving force for my continuous progress! Thank you very much for your praise and attention. Please feel free to tell me if there is anything you are not satisfied with in my content, and I will try my best to do it better. May your life path become wider and wider!

Many people have been driving for a long time, but when it comes to how to use the hand-to-hand integrated mode, I am afraid that many drivers are still at a loss, and even some people have not really understood how this function works after driving for a long time. Hand-to-hand integration is actually a very practical driving mode, but if it is not used correctly, the car may behave very stiff in some cases and even affect the driving experience.

The automatic manual mode is actually a manual switching mode in an automatic transmission vehicle, which allows the driver to manually control the gear as needed. In this mode, the driver can adjust the gear according to the driving demand on the basis of automatic gear, which not only retains the convenience of automatic gear, but also enjoys the sense of control of manual gear. Therefore, this design satisfies the car owners who like to drive easily and want to feel in control to a certain extent.

In the process of driving, we often encounter some special road conditions, such as uphill and downhill or scenes of rapid acceleration and deceleration. At this time, relying solely on automatic transmission, the car may not respond quickly enough or accurately enough. At this time, it needs to be adjusted through the automatic manual mode. Take uphill as an example. When you encounter a long uphill section, the vehicle may frequently shift gears in automatic transmission mode, which will affect the smoothness and efficiency of power output. However, if switching to manual mode, the driver can choose the appropriate gear according to the gradient and speed, so as to ensure the stability of power output and avoid the trouble of automatic gear jumping back and forth.

Regarding the specific operation of the automatic manual mode, many drivers have not actually read the vehicle manual carefully. Generally, there will be a sign of "+"and "-"next to the lever of automatic transmission, which is the control method of manual mode. When you push "+",it is equivalent to an upshift, while pushing "-"is a downshift. The key point of this operation is to pay attention to the matching of vehicle speed and speed. When operating in manual mode, many novice drivers habitually shift gears at will, but they don’t pay attention to the speed, which will lead to a sense of frustration in the car and even affect the life of the engine.

Manual-automatic integration mode can also play a great role in high-speed driving. For example, when you need to overtake quickly, in automatic transmission mode, the vehicle often needs time to judge whether to upshift or downshift, which will lead to a delay in dynamic response. If you use manual mode at this time and downshift one or two gears in advance, the engine speed can be rapidly increased, giving the vehicle greater power output, and overtaking will become smoother and safer.

In the same way, when you encounter downhill, the automatic manual mode can also help you control the speed better. In the process of downhill for a long time, many car owners only rely on the brakes to control the speed, which not only makes the brakes overheat, but also increases the risk of the vehicle losing control. If you switch to manual mode and use a lower gear to brake the engine, the speed will be easier to control, reduce the dependence on the brake and protect the brake system.

The manual-automatic integration mode is not only useful in specific road conditions, but also provides more driving pleasure in daily driving. For example, some old drivers like to use manual mode in urban congested sections, which can avoid the unsmooth feeling caused by frequent shifting gears of automatic gears at low speed. Manual control makes the car more stable at low speed without any setback. For some car owners who pursue driving pleasure, the automatic manual mode is an important function, which can provide more sense of vehicle control in curves and complex road conditions.

However, although the hand-to-self integration model has many advantages, we should also pay attention to avoid some common misunderstandings. Many novice drivers think that the operation in manual mode is similar to that in automatic transmission, and frequent upshifts do not take into account the speed matching, which will easily lead to excessive engine load, increase fuel consumption and even damage the gearbox and engine. Therefore, it is suggested that the vehicle tachometer should be observed every time it is operated, and the rotation speed should be kept within a reasonable range, usually between 2000 and 3000 revolutions, which can ensure the power output without increasing the burden on the engine.

In some sports cars or high-performance cars, the automatic manual mode will be used more frequently. For example, many models of BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz and other brands are equipped with shift paddles. This design is to allow drivers to shift gears quickly without leaving the steering wheel, and improve the operability and safety of driving. On these models, the design of the manual-automatic integration mode is not only to make the vehicle feel more controlled, but also one of the keys to improve the vehicle performance. Especially in some track driving or highways, the intervention of manual mode can make the power of the vehicle more directly transmitted to the wheels, so that the driver can control the state of the vehicle at any time.

In addition, when driving in the manual mode, we should pay attention to a common detail, that is, when it is most appropriate to switch to the manual mode. Usually, if you are just driving in an ordinary city, you can completely rely on the automatic transmission system, and its logic can cope with daily traffic conditions well. When you encounter more complicated road conditions or need a better sense of control, the hand-to-body mode can come in handy. The timing of switching manual mode should not be too early or too late. The best way is to switch it a little before you need to operate, such as before going uphill and overtaking.

Of course, the automatic manual mode is not suitable for frequent use by every car. For example, some old automatic transmission models may not be as smart as the latest gearbox technology, and they are not smooth enough to use. And some new models, especially those equipped with dual-clutch gearbox, tend to be more smooth and efficient in the manual-to-automatic mode. Therefore, before using it, you should also choose whether to use it frequently according to the actual situation of your car.

Sometimes, drivers will encounter some specific problems, such as the lack of power or the increase of fuel consumption after driving for a long time. At this time, many people will ignore the role of the automatic manual mode. In fact, through the rational use of manual mode, the power output of the vehicle can be made more linear, and the efficiency of the automatic transmission system can be avoided due to frequent gear shifting, which is also a common skill of old drivers. Hand-to-hand integration mode is not only to deal with special road conditions, but also to provide you with a better driving experience in many driving scenarios.

Therefore, although the hand-to-self integration mode seems complicated, mastering the correct operation method will not only make you more handy in daily driving, but also effectively improve driving safety and vehicle service life. Only by mastering the speed, choosing the gear reasonably and knowing the performance characteristics of your own vehicle can you really give full play to the advantages of the automatic manual mode.

For many old drivers, the mode of hand-to-hand integration is not only a sign of technical improvement, but also a manifestation of driving pleasure. I hope that every car owner can enjoy a smoother, safer and more enjoyable driving experience in daily driving by mastering the manual-automatic mode.

　　After the US election, the European Political Community Summit and the informal meeting of EU leaders were held in Budapest, Hungary, last weekend. Supporting the Ukrainian issue has become the common focus of the two meetings.

　　Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the escalating strategy of "opposing Ukraine and controlling Russia" has brought serious anti-itself effect to Europe, and it has also made countries more and more unable to do so. Few people can clearly answer how long this model will last.

　　Reality shows that on this issue, deep cracks have once again been exposed within the EU.

　　"We should adapt to the new situation."

　　On the 8th, during the informal meeting of EU leaders, European Council President Michelle still stressed that the EU must support Ukraine, "otherwise, it will release the wrong political signal".

　　However, Hungarian Prime Minister Orban, the host of the meeting, called on the EU to adjust its existing policies according to the actual situation.

　　"Even if the defeat is fixed, there are still some people who want the conflict to continue and want to continue to provide a lot of money. But at the same time, some people who once shouted for the conflict are becoming silent. Others cautiously said that we should adapt to the new situation, and these two kinds of people are becoming more and more. "

　　Orban particularly reminded that if US President-elect Trump terminates his aid to Ukraine in the new term, Europe will not be able to provide Ukraine with the financial support needed for the war alone.

　　△ Screenshot of US Consumer News and Business Channel website report

　　Orban had been regarded as an "disobedient rebel" by many western countries because he often "played the devil’s advocate" on different occasions. But in fact, for a long time, there have been differences within the EU on whether to continue to support Ukraine.

　　Slovak Prime Minister Fizzo criticized that the European Council has become a "military cabinet" and only cares about "sending more bullets to Ukraine".

　　"Let’s stop supporting Ukraine militarily, and let’s go back to the negotiating table to discuss the peace plan, although it is extremely complicated and difficult. Military confrontation is meaningless. Sanctions have brought more problems to the EU than to Russia. "

　　△ Ukrainian "Kiev Post" report screenshot

　　What makes these countries angry and helpless?

　　As Orban mentioned, the attitude of some EU countries towards aiding Ukraine is slowly changing.

　　Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Poland has been one of Ukraine’s staunchest supporters. However, with the incidents of Ukrainian agricultural products impacting the Polish market and Polish truck drivers blocking the border, the public opinion base of Poland’s aid to Ukraine gradually faded. From the perspective of finance and its own security, the Polish government is also gradually adjusting its policy toward Ukraine.

　　Coupled with Ukraine’s accusation of Poland’s so-called "stinginess and failure to keep promises", the contradiction between the two countries began to stand out.

　　Polish Defense Minister Caussignac-cames said in an interview a few days ago that since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Poland has done its best to provide military support to Ukraine, but Poland does not want to be directly involved in the conflict.

　　"Poland has handed over as much military equipment as possible, but Poland’s own security needs have set clear limits. For example, MiG -29 fighters are used to protect Polish airspace, and I can’t agree to provide these fighters (to Ukraine)."

　　△ "Ukrainian Pravda" report screenshot

　　There are also countries that are full of helplessness on the issue of aiding Ukraine.

　　Taking Germany as an example, under the strategic entanglement of the United States and NATO, Germany has gradually become the second largest aid provider in Ukraine after the United States.

　　The Scholz government will provide about 8 billion euros in aid to Ukraine this year. However, financial constraints have made Germany’s aid to Ukraine weaker and weaker.

　　Affected by the anti-bite effect, Germany’s prices have continued to rise in the past two years, industrial production has declined, and the economy is on the verge of recession, so that German politics has recently fallen into a serious shock.

　　△ "Deutsche Welle" website article analyzes whether the German ruling Coalition can continue its foreign policy of supporting Ukraine after the collapse due to budget problems.

　　"Europe needs to wake up quickly"

　　The difficulties and entanglements of Poland and Germany are also the epitome of Europe as a whole.

　　With the prolongation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Europe has not only become the biggest loser of this crisis at home, but also has to cope with the dual challenges of increasing military spending and long-term assistance to Ukraine while the economy is in a downturn.

　　The bigger dilemma facing Europe is the gradual withdrawal of the United States. US President-elect Trump had previously unabashedly accused Europe of "hitchhiking in the United States" on security issues, and repeatedly expressed his opposition to continuing to aid Ukraine. This makes Europe realize that it is imperative to greatly reduce its dependence on US security.

　　△ Maria Matthews, an analyst at the European Policy Center, said that relying heavily on the United States in its security strategy has made Europe face increasing uncertainty. "I think it is very important for the EU to have its own foundation of autonomy".

　　Cui Hongjian, a professor at the Institute of Advanced Studies in Regional and Global Governance of Beijing Foreign Studies University, believes that Europe should make more "pragmatic" considerations for its own interests in dealing with the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

　　"Trump said that he has the ability to quickly resolve the Ukrainian crisis. One of his proposals is to reach a consensus through direct communication with Russia. There are still some countries in Europe that firmly support Ukraine and oppose Russia. Once a compromise is reached between the United States and Russia, for Europe, the US security commitment to Europe may become empty talk. "

　　The British "Economist" magazine recently warned that "Europe needs to wake up quickly and find ways to take care of itself".

　　The article said that Trump’s return to the White House means that the good days of Europeans are over. Especially in terms of security, Europe should understand that it can no longer rely on the protection of the United States.

　　As an international food capital, Hong Kong is full of restaurants, attracting many diners from all over the world. In this era of worrying food safety, Hong Kong has already issued regulations on the management of waste oil and food waste in restaurants, and has kept the kitchen waste at all levels from the source to the end to prevent the waste oil from flowing back to the table, so that diners can have peace of mind.

　 　 Filtration and separation of food residues to build a grease trap

　　If we carefully observe the parking lots or underground floors of many Hong Kong buildings, people will find that there will be a square stainless steel tank with a size of about 10 cubic meters in the corner, which is connected with pipes leading to a certain part of the building. This stainless steel tank is a common grease trap in many restaurants and industrial buildings in Hong Kong. "It is necessary to build a grease trap, otherwise it is impossible to get a food license." There was such a law in Hong Kong decades ago, which is also a way for many restaurants in Hong Kong to dispose of kitchen waste.

　　There are many fried and roasted dishes in Cantonese cuisine, which produce a lot of oil every day. After cooking, the oil needs to be replaced every day. The restaurant simply filters it and pours it into the oil drum, waiting for the recycling company to come to the door for recycling. According to Hong Kong’s Water Pollution Control Ordinance, the grease in food residue should be filtered and collected by oil separator.

　　The Environmental Protection Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region explained that the direct discharge of food residues into sewage pipes would lead to the accumulation of oil dirt, and the drainage pipes would be blocked and stink, which would affect the environmental sanitation of restaurants and the surrounding areas. Therefore, restaurants in Hong Kong need to establish a grease trap to filter sewage again and collect grease. The collected waste oil is recycled by a special recycling company, and the Environmental Protection Department of the Hong Kong SAR Government also records and checks the relevant treatment of restaurants to prevent the possibility of waste oil flowing back to the dining table. According to the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, from the results of earlier spot checks, there was no use of waste oil in restaurants in Hong Kong.

　　Production of diesel oil by recycling food waste oil

　　So, where will these separated and recycled waste oils go? In Hong Kong, waste oil is regarded as a commodity sold by restaurants to recycling companies, so recycling companies need to pay restaurants, and waste oil has been professionally treated.

　　In a free market like Hong Kong, recyclers will certainly not do business at a loss. The waste oil produced in restaurants brings business opportunities to recyclers. Biodiesel which can be used as automobile fuel can be produced by treating, reacting and separating the waste oil. As a new fuel with environmental benefits, biodiesel can help reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and it is now being widely promoted in western countries.

　　In order to encourage the use of biodiesel, the Hong Kong SAR Government has introduced a tax-free preferential policy for automobile biodiesel to further promote the recycling of food waste oil. At present, there are three biodiesel producers in Hong Kong, which regularly collect waste oil from restaurants, properly collect it and transport it to factories for processing to generate biodiesel.

　　From the filtration and separation of food residues to the recovery and treatment of waste oil, the Hong Kong SAR Government monitors the flow of waste oil at the source, encourages recycling at the end, and promotes the application of new fuels. In this way, waste oil can’t be quietly sold underground, but as a commodity to continue its use value. (Cao Haiyang Intern Ji Menghui)

On September 24th, HarmonyOS Zhixing’s first coupe SUV Zhijie R7 was officially released.

Pangu model blessing, xiaoyi incarnation car consultant

With the iterative upgrading of automobile intelligence and the richness of user scenarios, users may face difficulties such as not knowing how to use functions and coping with emergencies in driving and other scenarios, and lack timely guidance on car use. Under the blessing of the big model, Xiaoyi became an intimate car consultant and provided timely professional guidance. When driving in rainy days, you can ask Xiaoyi, "Can I turn on double flashing lights in rainy days?" According to the actual situation and road laws and regulations, the Small Arts Association will give replies and suggestions for the reference of drivers and passengers. At the same time, Xiaoyi can also assist in safe driving, and users can ask Xiaoyi to help turn on the rear fog lights and rearview mirror heating. In addition, the user said in dialect that "the glass is foggy" in a hurry, and Xiaoyi can intelligently turn on the defogging mode.

It is also very important to understand the dashboard when driving, but when rare icons appear, car owners often have to worry. At this time, just ask Xiaoyi "What information is displayed on the instrument", "What’s wrong with my car" and "What is the meaning of the little turtle on the instrument", etc., and Xiaoyi can answer questions for users in time.

Convenient voice car control, small art can Understand and do it

For a long time, the convenient experience of giving instructions to control vehicles through Xiaoyi voice is deeply loved by HarmonyOS Zhixing owners. Whether it is opening and closing the front trunk, opening and closing the sunshade, locking the children’s lock or adjusting the rearview mirror, users can let Xiaoyi help them through voice.

Zhijie R7 first supported Xiaoyi dialect to speak freely, so users can communicate with Xiaoyi directly without setting dialects. Whether traveling by car or with the whole family, voice car control has become more efficient and convenient, and the care in the car is more warm. At present, Xiaoyi has supported Sichuan dialect, Henan dialect, Shandong dialect, Northeast dialect, Tianjin dialect, Shaanxi dialect, Guizhou dialect, Hebei dialect, Changsha dialect and Cantonese dialect.

Intimate and intelligent service, direct access to comfortable space

The unique "child care" scene in the smart scene allows the owner to see the movements of the children in the back row on the front screen without turning his head when driving. When the scene is turned on, the camera automatically tracks the dynamics in the back row, the windows, sunshade, reading lights and atmosphere lights in the second row will be turned off, and the volume of calls, media, navigation and intelligent voices will be adjusted to 10%, creating an intelligent child care space.

With the release of HarmonyOS Zhixing Zhijie R7, the innovative technology and intelligent service of HarmonyOS cockpit won market attention. With the advanced upgrade of AI capabilities, Xiaoyi will continue to provide drivers and passengers with a professional leading and personalized smart travel experience.

The richness of the configuration is closely linked to the cost performance of a car, and many people have mentioned it. Now let’s follow Xiaobian to see what it has done.

Let’s take a look at the appearance of the Accord first. The front shape of the Accord has taken a fashionable and simple route, and it looks very individual with a multi-spoke middle net. Coupled with headlights, the shape is quite simple. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, automatic opening and closing, adaptive far and near light, delayed closing and so on. Coming to the side of the car, the body size of the car is 4980MM*1862MM*1449MM. The car adopts fashionable lines, and the side circumference gives people a very delicate feeling. With large-sized thick-walled tires, the shape is quite individual. In terms of the rear end, the overall shape of the Accord’s rear end echoes the front face, and the taillights present a tough design style, coupled with the hidden exhaust pipe, creating a good gas field.

Sitting in the car, the interior looks very simple and generous, which is very suitable for the tastes of young consumers. The steering wheel design of this car is very cold, and it is equipped with the functions of manual steering wheel up and down+front and rear adjustment, which gives people an impulse to control it. From the central control point of view, the design of the center console is reasonable, which makes the interior design quite layered and conforms to the mainstream aesthetics. The interior feels good, let’s take a look at the dashboard and seats. The car is equipped with a soft dashboard, and the sports atmosphere is in place. The car uses leather seats, which are wrapped in place and are very comfortable to ride.

Accord is matched with CVT gearbox, with a maximum power of 141KW and a maximum torque of 260N.m, and its power performance is good.

The space size of the Accord trunk is in line with its household positioning, and the storage space for family travel can be met, with excellent space flexibility. In addition, the car is equipped with fatigue warning, anti-lock braking (ABS), LED daytime running lights, brake assist (EBA/BAS, etc.), braking force distribution (EBD) main driving airbag, co-pilot airbag, knee airbag, side airbag curtain, front side airbag and other safety configurations.

After reading the above description, Xiaobian will make a summary. The car introduced today is not only eye-catching in space, but also has reached the mainstream level in various configurations, and there is nothing to be picky about driving experience and space experience.

Beijing News Shell Financial News (Reporter Zhang Bing) "Alpha T5 is positioned as a gift for itself and the whole family, and this positioning determines the scene requirements of Alpha T5." On November 17th, Dai Kangwei, Party Secretary and General Manager of BAIC New Energy, said at the Guangzhou Auto Show that the new car was positioned as a pure electric SUV with a battery life of 660 kilometers and 800V high-voltage overcharge.

In January of this year, Beiqi Blue Valley launched a new car polar fox koala specially designed for parent-child travel, which became its first attempt to build a car driven by scenes. In September this year, Dai Kangwei revealed that the polar fox koala has received 5206 orders since the pre-sale.

Autumn and winter are the best viewing seasons for finless porpoises. On November 18th, citizens’ representatives, volunteers and eco-photographers, as "finless porpoises observers", conducted a one-day observation at 13 observation points in Nanjing finless porpoises activity concentration.

It’s winter, and it’s also the active season for finless porpoises. Look, the lovely finless porpoise has appeared by the river in surprise!

Hua Chongxiao, a child, said, "I was very happy just now. The tail of the finless porpoise I photographed is a bit like love and very cute. I visited here once in the summer vacation, but I didn’t take a picture at that time. I am particularly lucky today, and I personally photographed the finless porpoise. "　

Chen Yuze, a child, said: "I came early this morning. I saw that the back of the finless porpoise is very smooth and its head is triangular. The finless porpoise is particularly cute, and I like it very much!"　

Jiang Meng, executive vice president and secretary general of Nanjing finless porpoise aquatic biology protection association, said: "This year is the third time in a row that Nanjing has held a nationwide observation. More than 200 people participated in the synchronous observation, which was distributed in these 13 points. There are not only professional monitoring personnel, but also nature photographers and nature lovers, as well as some social biology lovers, including many college student volunteers, and some citizens take their children to participate in this activity. "　

From September every year to March the following year, the Yangtze finless porpoise stably inhabits the waters of the riverside section of the Drum Tower. Near the Yangtze River Smile Station, the Yangtze finless porpoise can be only a few meters away from the shore, and people can watch them at close range. In this year’s national synchronous observation process, there are still many unexpected discoveries.

Jiang Meng also said: "This year, it is the first time that there is an official record at the newly added Sanshanji observation point, where finless porpoises are recorded. In the Song Dynasty, Kong Wuzhong, a famous poet, wrote a poem called "Three Mountains and Rocks": The Yangtze River under the Rocks wants to go back, and the finless porpoises are infested with waterfowl. This is also an important record of the cultural and historical relationship between Nanjing and the finless porpoise, so we feel particularly happy. There is another discovery this year. From 7: 00 in the morning, the activities of the Yangtze finless porpoise have been found at various observation points, indicating that the scope of the finless porpoise is gradually expanding. This is also a very good sign, and there are more places suitable for the finless porpoise city activities. "

The frequent appearance of finless porpoises shows that the ecological environment of the Yangtze River has been effectively improved, and the "ten-year fishing ban" has achieved remarkable results. I hope more and more finless porpoises can settle down in Nanjing and keep the lovely "giant pandas in the water"!

As a Shangchao brand, Fat Donglai is hot now, but it is an undeniable fact that Fat Donglai’s self-operated supermarket has never left Henan or even entered Zhengzhou, the provincial capital.

However, in the eyes of Yu Donglai, the founder of Fat Donglai, geographical limitations no longer seem to be a problem-when asked if Fat Donglai would drive to Zhengzhou, he replied: "If you go to Yonghui, you will come to Fat Donglai?"

The background of this question and answer is that Fat Donglai launched a 19-day explosion reform of Yonghui Supermarket Zhengzhou Xinwan Plaza Store. The product structure after the reorganization of the latter reached more than 90% of the product structure of Fat Donglai, including moon cakes, craft beer, fruit juice, laundry detergent and other products with "DL" logo.

According to media comparison, these private brand products are priced the same as those in the self-operated supermarket in Pangdonglai. In addition, the supermarket’s dynamic line layout, equipment and facilities, service capacity and employee welfare are all comprehensively studied.

From the user’s point of view, Zhengzhou consumers go to the Yonghui store mentioned above, and the shopping experience is indeed similar to that of Fat East. From the industry’s point of view, their own brands have been sold to more places through the explosion of stores, breaking the previous geographical limitations of Fat East and further enhancing the competitiveness and influence of Fat East. Pang Donglai also admitted that the development of private brands should be "benchmarked against world-class standards".

Obviously, Fat Donglai is playing a big game of chess.

First of all, thanks to the strong traffic and brand effect of Fat Donglai, the explosion-reformed stores that cooperated with it received good results after resuming business.

Taking Yonghui Supermarket Zhengzhou Xinwan Plaza Store as an example, local media reported that on June 19th, the supermarket opened for business. In just one minute, there was no vacancy in the queue entry area of "Jiuqu Ileum", followed by current restriction, purchase restriction and waiting for one and a half hours, but it still failed to reduce the enthusiasm of consumers.

Yonghui Supermarket revealed that Zhengzhou Xinwan Plaza Store sold 1.88 million yuan on the first day of business resumption, which was 13.9 times the average daily sales before the reform; There were 12,926 passengers on that day, which was 5.3 times of the average daily passenger flow before the reform. "The reform has achieved remarkable results."

It is worth noting that, according to reports, Fat Donglai did not charge any fees and did not involve any return. "And many costs such as helping the team’s salary, transportation and accommodation are all borne by Fat Donglai."

Then, the question is coming. What does Fat East want? The answer is four words: own brand.

Still taking Yonghui Supermarket Zhengzhou Xinwan Plaza Store as an example, a large number of self-owned brand goods from Pangdonglai have settled in, among which DL craft wheat beer can be called the "most beautiful boy" in the store.

You know, this beer is still sold out when one person is limited to one case. That night, the store had to announce that due to the excessive passenger flow during the resumption of business after the reform, in order to ensure customer safety, the sales of DL craft beer were suspended.

A craft beer broke out with great power, showing the strength of Pangdonglai’s own brand, not only in Yonghui Supermarket Zhengzhou Xinwan Plaza Store, but also in other explosive stores.

For example, the relevant person in charge of BBK revealed that in May 2024, the sales of Pangdonglai’s own brand goods accounted for 28.22% of the total sales of BBK Changsha Meixihu Store.

This store is the first BBK store in Pangdonglai. At the beginning of the explosion, BBK said that the store would introduce "20 popular products worthy of recommendation from Pangdonglai", including DL craft wheat beer, DL orange juice, DL enzyme sterilization and mite removal laundry detergent, DL instant oatmeal and so on.

Fat people from the east are popular with self-operated goods, and the new retail business review photo.

Fat Donglai’s own brand products not only attract consumers who go shopping in supermarkets, but also appear in the purchasing service of "Changsha helps buy fat Donglai goods", and its appeal is self-evident.

Behind the popularity of Fat Donglai’s own brand, Chengdu Business Daily learned from the media "Red Star Capital Bureau" that Fat Donglai’s own brand products are not produced by itself, but rely on different suppliers.

A supplier revealed that the specifications and proportions of these products are customized, and they are produced by Pangdonglai and suppliers, with exclusive formulas, "not simple OEM products".

According to Zhuang Shuai, the founder of Bailian Consulting, Fat Donglai has made its own brand an independent brand by "helping" other supermarkets and completed multi-channel expansion.

In other words, after this campaign, Fat Donglai is not only a supermarket retailer, but also a brand with insight into consumer demand and holding many popular goods. The combination of the two has enhanced the competitiveness and influence of Fat Donglai.

"God" is not omnipotent

In the past two years, the influence of Fat Donglai has continued to rise, but in fact, it has been well-known before.

As early as 2017, Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi, visited Henan and specially went to Xuchang Pangdonglai Times Square for "pilgrimage study". In the micro-headlines released at that time, Lei Jun pointed out: "Fat people come from the east, and the retail industry in China has always existed like a god …"

Look at the influence of Fat Donglai now, especially the sales record won by other supermarkets after the explosive reform, which makes Fat Donglai have the meaning of being deified.

Why is Fat Donglai deified?

The New Retail Business Review believes that it is because the founder, Yu Donglai, stuck to the bottom line and meticulously and deeply implemented the altruistic spirit. In Donglai’s own words, "the best marketing is sincerity, and the best service is goods." As long as we persist in sincerity and insist on selling high-quality goods, there is no reason not to succeed. "

These words seem to be "the truth", but in fact they are a kind of strategy, especially for developing their own brands.

This is because, if you develop your own brand, you can gain a certain cost advantage without middlemen to earn the difference, and you can also sell at a low price. However, if you blindly pursue low prices, you may ignore the control of product quality, thus undermining consumers’ trust in products and brands, leading to "voting with your feet."

According to Lianshang. com, relevant investigation reports show that high-income consumers are more picky about where to buy their own brand products, and about 65% consumers only buy their own brands from certain stores they trust. "As a strategic breakthrough point for the future development of the industry, solving the problem of private brand trust is the key."

How can we solve the "trust problem" Here in Fat East, the solution can be summed up as "insisting on sincerity and selling high-quality goods".

The aforementioned DL craft beer is evidence. Some netizens compared and analyzed that DL craft beer pays attention to raw material selection and brewing technology. The ingredients list only contains water, barley malt, wheat malt, hops and yeast. It is brewed by traditional German technology, and its body is full of aroma. In a word, it rejected "technology and hard work".

The same is true of fruit juice. For example, the packaging of orange juice indicates that about 15 oranges are used for squeezing, and no preservatives are added, only water and concentrated fruit juice are used.

In an internal sharing, Yu Donglai reiterated that selling things is real and frank. "You are thinking about the society, and the society also gives you back trust." The result of trust must be beautiful.

It is not difficult to see that through high-quality goods and sincere service, Fat Donglai has established a sustained and solid trust relationship with consumers, which is the underlying logic for its own brand to be strong.

However, on the other hand, private brands need comprehensive operation. Even if they come from the fat east and emphasize "sincerity" and "quality", it is impossible to play every product.

In fact, "Red Star Capital Bureau" visited many stores in Xuchang and found that "Fat Donglai has almost no price advantage in Xuchang" among many categories of goods and services.

In terms of expansion, there are still some fresh products that have a large loss, and some products are not very popular-this is also easy to understand. At present, there are about 20 popular products among more than 400 private brand products from Fat East.

For this reason, Fat Donglai needs continuous and refined operation, and needs to rely on popular single products such as craft beer to keep the overall gross profit margin of Fat Donglai in the range of 4%~5%. Compared with the gross profit margin of the retail industry, which is usually below 3% or even at a loss, Fat Donglai’s achievement is more eye-catching, but there is still much room for improvement.

From this perspective, "God" is not omnipotent. Like other supermarkets, we can’t slack off in products, services and comprehensive operations.

See clearly the ambition from the fat east

After reading the above analysis, we can say that there is really no need to deify Fat East, but it is necessary to see the ambition of Fat East by combing the development of its own brand.

It is worth mentioning that, whether in the self-operated supermarket of Fat Donglai or in the supermarket of explosive reform, the ambition of Fat Donglai is publicly visible. According to the slogan content of these stores, the development standard of Fat Donglai’s own brand is "benchmarking world-class standards, independence, innovation, quality traceability, environmental protection and sustainability".

Recently, Ji Zhongzhan, an enterprise development strategy consultant who went to Xuchang to visit Pangdonglai, also wrote that "the products from Pangdonglai are first-line brands selected according to EU standards, or they can make their own brands according to world-class standards".

In other words, Fat Donglai demands himself by world-class standards and is in line with world-class enterprises.

"It will come to a certain time and become a member of the best sequence of world business." In an internal management sharing in February last year, Yu Donglai said: "In some respects, you are excellent, and in some respects, you may not be as good as others, but in general, you are creating beauty. In the future, you will be able to influence outstanding enterprises in the world like Costco, Sam Member Store, Ito Yokado and Oleqi, so that there is no competition between them, and they are all good and benign interactions with each other."

Taking these remarks apart, we can see that Costco, Sam member stores, Ito Yanghuatang and Oleqi are all deeply cultivating their own brands.

In the 2023 China Shangchao Private Brand Case Report issued by China Chain Store & Franchise Association, 10 private brand star commodity development cases from Shangchao and convenience store enterprises were selected, including Costco, Sam member store and Ito Yanghuatang.

As for Oleqi, it is one of the world-renowned low-priced supermarkets and pioneers of its own brand model, with 57 stores in Shanghai, which has a profound influence.

The long-term goal of Pangdonglai is not only to be in line with these "excellent enterprises in the world", but also to influence them in the future, to influence outstanding enterprises with world influence, and to jointly promote good business.

At this point, the big chess that Fat Donglai is playing is gradually clear. The question is, can it achieve the expected goal?

The development of private brands and the leap of influence can help achieve the goal, but the final result needs to be "double verified" by the market and time.
