In the automobile enterprises with the prefix of the three major countries, their leaders all want to spell out a "red flag" of Xu Liuping within a limited term. That means going down in history in the whole history of China’s automobile development, enjoying a great reputation, or really "retiring after success".

At least for the moment, Zhu Huarong, the chairman of Changan Automobile, has always had the greatest chance. In the brand layout of new energy vehicles, Changan Automobile is really far ahead of its rivals. Let Aouita and Deep Blue go first, followed by Qiyuan. Such strategic courage and reform is definitely a major strategic layout that a leader with real strength dares to have.

Only now, Aouita is still fighting for a high-end reputation, and Qiyuanji’s power of Chang ‘an Cluster is staggering. Deep blue should have been the sales pillar of Changan Automobile’s new energy products at this time, but it was empty and windy, and nothing happened. In this way, why "reach the future first"?

The previous products are all weak, and "G318" is a must for the whole opponent’s life?

The United States has the famous Highway No.66, while in China, there is a national highway No.318 called "I must drive in this life". These roads have already transcended the essence and become a cultural symbol. In our country, this G318, which was built in 1950, runs from the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Tibet along the 30 north latitude line, and is the longest national highway in China at present. From sea level to the roof of the world, it is known as "the landscape avenue of China people".

However, after March 18th, 2024, if people use search engines to search on the Internet, the results that people can get will be occupied by businesses, and what people can see at first sight is the SUV“G318 "just listed by Deep Blue Automobile.

It was on this day that Deep Blue released the "Hard Off-Road" SUV G318. Although it will not be available until the second quarter, this model has successfully attracted the attention of netizens with various "out-of-position" publicity campaigns, but it has been followed by many consumers and even the doubts in the automobile industry.

This "hard-core" SUV with no girders and a load-bearing body dares to add the label "Who says hard-core must have girders". As we all know, from G500 to herdsman, from 300/400/500 to now, the real mainstream hard-core off-road SUVs all adopt non-loaded bodies. To this end, after the release of G318, BYD Equation Leopard offered a "don’t be hard" advice to Deep Blue.

For the time being, the non-loaded body can have higher frame torsional strength and repairability to cope with metal fatigue, and a simple comparison of the parameters known at present between Deep Blue G318 and Equation Leopard 5 can also give us a clue. Both of them also use a 1.5T engine. The total motor power of the former is 430Ps, while that of the latter is 660Ps；. Although they are different in body mass, the equation Leopard 5 engine with plug-in hybrid can participate in power output at the same time; And the former has a approach angle of 27 and a departure angle of 31; The latter is 35 and 32, and the real hard-core strength seems to be clear at a glance.

With the wind of "hard-core off-road SUV" rolling up in the automobile industry, the dark blue G318, which has been late for a long time and has not yet reached the battlefield, will be completed this time, and I am afraid it will be many eyeing competitors such as tanks and Equation Leopard. In contrast, they have firmly occupied consumers’ minds and markets on the point of "hard faction".

G318, this is the third product of Deep Blue. Although it is not too early to start, the deep blue brand has gone through many "detours". In July 2022, its first model, Deep Blue SL03, was priced at 168,900-699,900 yuan at the beginning of its listing. In 2023, it was reduced to 145,900-191,900 yuan; By the time the 2024 model goes on the market, the guide price has been changed to 139,900-173,900 yuan, and the terminal has a discount of more than 10,000 yuan.

Early users reacted strongly to Deep Blue SL03 "Forced to Tu Longdao". Although to some extent, this is related to the decline in the cost of market involution and supply chain, more users think that they are paying for the "honey confidence" pricing strategy that the brand side does not look at the market. What’s even more "terrible" is that in the used car market, there are merchants who write down the price of the 2022 dark blue SL03 quasi-new car with a mileage of 0.8 thousand kilometers, which is less than 100 thousand yuan.

While the owners of Deep Blue are constantly encountering "backstab", the SL03 and S7 models launched by Deep Blue rank 300-600 on the quality feedback websites such as "Car Quality Network", which is very low. The main complaints come from the car body accessories and electrical appliances, engine generators, and other problems also exist at the same time. Some media once recorded the real remarks of a dark blue S7 owner with the title of "6000 words detailing why I regret buying a dark blue S7, and I won’t recommend people to buy a dark blue S7", including the automatic deceleration of high-speed intelligent driving errors and the abnormal mutual exclusion of functions. Each of these problems is not small, but it has not attracted the attention of the brand. When Deep Blue S7 upgraded OTA to version 2.0, these problems were not solved, and many car owners were locked in the car for more than an hour because there was no prior warning.

According to media statistics, in the first half of 2023, China’s automobile brand quality ranking (new energy) was ranked at the bottom. This means that deep blue can only attract consumers by its "face value" and cost performance. Although its initial growth is indeed rapid, it is difficult to last, and it is hard to say that it has been successful in the automobile industry. And this G318, it is also afraid that it will be the "must drive in this life" of the opponent.

Wang Jun is in command, and deep blue has changed from "edge" to "future"

At the beginning of the rise of new energy vehicles, Changan Automobile once hoped to launch a "gravity" sequence focusing on the middle and high end through UNI product series. However, the strategy was quickly adjusted, and it changed again and again. In the end, this sequence was stuffed into many original V-standard fuel vehicles, low-end electric vehicles and even pickup trucks of Changan Automobile, and it has gathered into a pot of "hodgepodge". At the same time, Changan Automobile has also offered three new energy automobile brands, namely, Aouita, which focuses on high-end products, and Deep Blue and Qiyuan, which are aimed at ordinary people.

Aouita was registered and established in July 2018. It was originally Changan Weilai New Energy, where Changan Automobile and Weilai Automobile each held 50% shares. Later Weilai gradually reduced its shares, and Changan introduced Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited and other investors, and introduced Huawei technology blessing. Although many media reported that "Deep Blue Auto was released in April, 2022, and it is the explorer of Shangri-La Plan of Changan Automobile and Tian Shu Plan of Beidou", the eye-catching survey showed that the registration time of Deep Blue in May, 2018 was even earlier than that of Aouita.

At the beginning of its establishment, Deep Blue’s chairman was Yang Dayong, then vice president of Changan Automobile, and its CEO was Deng Chenghao. At that time, people who didn’t have important positions in Changan Automobile’s brands seemed to be temporarily arranged here, just like a "distribution center for marginal people".

However, as "Gravity" failed to become an independent brand, Deep Blue stood out as a new energy vehicle in Chang ‘an. Yang Dayong, who made great achievements, was once in charge of Changan New Energy. However, as he was promoted to the position of executive vice president of Changan Automobile and transferred to the joint venture of Changan Ford, the position of chairman of Deep Blue Automobile was handed over to Wang Xiaofei soon. In February 2023, Wang Xiaofei began to appear as the chairman of Deep Blue Automobile.

Wang Xiaofei, born in 1982, is young and promising. Since Tsinghua University graduated from Changan Automobile in 2005, he has served as deputy general manager, product marketing director and deputy general manager of the company’s product planning department. In 2020, Wang Xiaofei was appointed as the general manager of Changan Auchan. In two years, he led the team to develop hot-selling models such as X5, X7 and X7 PLUS of Changan Auchan, and pioneered innovative functions such as racing mode, karaoke inside the car and voice outside the car, which made Auchan become a "dark horse".

The eye-catching achievements also made Wang Xiaofei promoted to vice president of Changan Automobile in early 2022. After he served as the chairman of Deep Blue Automobile, he led Deep Blue to release the "super extended range" technology and brand-new intelligent solutions, and "went to sea" in the Thai market, which also laid the foundation for Changan Automobile’s strategy of "all rivers run into the sea".

However, after the initial difficult "groping", Changan Automobile found that Aouita and Deep Blue were far from the expected sales target. In 2023, the targets of Aouita and Deep Blue are 100,000 and 400,000 respectively; However, the actual sales volume is only 27,000 vehicles and 136,900 vehicles.

So in January 2024, Wang Jun, president of Changan Automobile, took over the post of chairman of Deep Blue Automobile from Wang Xiaofei. One month before this, Zhu Huarong, the chairman of Changan Automobile, announced that he would personally take charge of Aouita and concurrently serve as the chairman. Qiyuan, which did not set up the company independently, was handed over to Ye Pei, executive vice president of Changan Automobile.

This is equivalent to the first, second and third leaders of Changan Automobile, and each of them supervises the new energy sector. The frequent personnel changes of two new energy brands, Aouita and Deep Blue, may, to a certain extent, explain the dissatisfaction of Changan Automobile and its belief that "success or death".

At present, Aouita, with only two products and a starting price of more than 300,000 yuan, is destined to have a flag status far greater than the actual significance. Therefore, Deep Blue and Qiyuan, who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of Changan Automobile’s sales in the new energy era, will become the core of "real power".

In 2024, the sales targets of Aouita and Deep Blue were pragmatically lowered to 90,000 vehicles and 280,000 vehicles respectively; Qiyuan is250,000 vehicles. This arrangement clearly shows that Changan Automobile has given high hopes to Deep Blue. Whether this big ship can forge a real "new quality productivity" to meet the assessment and sail smoothly in the new era, Aouita is a symbol of technology and high-end, and the sales of deep blue is the key to landing in the market.

After all, Wang Jun, president of Changan Automobile, is at the helm of Deep Blue Automobile. Wang Jun, born in 1972, has served as deputy director and director of the scientific research management department of Changan Automobile Technology Center, director of the scientific research management department of the Ministry of Science and Technology, vice president of the Automotive Engineering Research Institute and director of the product planning department. Manager of product management department of marketing department of Changan Automobile Sales Co., Ltd., director, deputy minister and minister of product planning department of marketing department; Assistant to the President of Changan Automobile, General Manager of Changan Automobile Sales Co., Ltd. and Vice President of Changan Automobile.

Now, as the president of Changan Automobile, he is only "one step away" from the summit. If the time is set back to June 2020, Zhu Huarong, who took over the post of Chairman of Changan Automobile from Zhang Baolin, was the post of President of Changan Automobile; Zhang Baolin, who was promoted to the position of Chairman of Changan Automobile in September 2017, was also the President of Changan Automobile. In the development of this enterprise, there has always been such a personnel practice.

It is worth noting that Zhu Huarong, the chairman born in 1965, is now 59 years old, less than two years away from the legal retirement age of 60. Even if the extension is appropriately relaxed, the term of office has been counted down. In October 2020, when he handed over the post of President of Changan Automobile to Wang Jun, I’m afraid he had already chosen the echelon.

Zhu Huarong has accumulated nearly 40 years’ experience in the automobile industry. Under his leadership, Changan Automobile became the first automobile enterprise with its own brand sales exceeding 20 million vehicles. If he can make further achievements in the new energy, then he will be able to "retire". In view of this, in any case, Wang Jun needs to use the deep blue, which has become the "new energy future" of Changan Automobile, to clear its name and prepare for taking over.

At the committee of 100 Forum on Electric Vehicles in China in 2024, Wang Jun said in his keynote speech that the cost of new energy vehicles is high and the scale effect has not been fully revealed. Taking 2023 as an example, the industry is selling 403 new energy vehicles, with an average monthly sales of only 1,500 vehicles, and there are very few passenger car brands that can really make a profit now. "Changan Automobile has invested a total of 230 billion yuan in the fields of new energy and intelligence in the past decade, which has injected a strong impetus into the development of the new energy automobile industry," he said.

However, it is not known when such a huge investment will be made in three new energy brands in Chang ‘an. His solution is, "we should accelerate the application and promotion of new quality productivity in the automobile industry, accelerate the process of globalization, and further reduce costs and improve efficiency through technological progress and industrial scale development." It is not difficult to infer from his speech that the scale, cost and efficiency of Deep Blue will become one of the key barometers for Changan Automobile to "promote new quality productivity".

"We should adhere to people-oriented, user-oriented and scientific and technological innovation, and cultivate and develop new quality productivity," he stressed at the end of his speech. However, from the previous word-of-mouth of a large number of users, there is a big gap between the products of Deep Blue and the needs of users, and "people-oriented" is more than just "star manager-oriented".

Deng Chenghao’s perfect personal show, products "rely on the wind" rather than users.

Deng Chenghao, the "star manager" who partnered with Wang Jun, had previously been the CEO of Deep Blue Automobile for two terms. The new generation of technical experts trained in the Changan system and the youngest vice president of Changan Automobile are excellent enough.

Deng Chenghao, born in 1986, holds a doctorate in engineering and a senior engineer title. He joined Changan Automobile after graduating from Tsinghua University Vehicle Engineering Department with a master’s degree in 2011. He has been devoted to the development of new energy vehicles and the research of three electric technologies for more than ten years. He used to be the deputy general manager of the power development department of Chongqing Changan New Energy Automobile Technology Co., Ltd., the secretary of the first party branch, the project director of C385EV-E series, and the general manager and party secretary of Chongqing Changan New Energy Automobile Technology Co., Ltd.

In the information that he participated in the selection of "Top Ten Chongqing Economic Innovators of the Year in 2022", he wrote, "In 2022, under his leadership, Deep Blue Automobile rose against the trend, and the scale of production and sales achieved historic growth, with production exceeding 230,000 vehicles and sales of nearly 220,000 vehicles. Through the coordinated development of value chains such as R&D, supply and marketing, it effectively promoted the upstream and downstream employment of Chongqing’s regional industrial chain and made positive contributions to the rapid development of Chongqing’s automobile industry and economy." Technically, he led Changan Automobile to apply for 734 patents in 2022, and mastered more than 400 core technologies such as new energy "Big Three Electricity", and a number of core technologies were equipped with SL03 to achieve full-scale mass production applications, and the related performance reached the leading level in the industry, such as "the world’s first micronucleus high-frequency pulse heating technology, and the battery can heat up by 20℃ in -30℃ environment".

However, Deng Chenghao, a new generation who idolizes Jobs, shows a different style from a "low-key elderly person" like Wang Jun, but is more consistent with the preference of Zhu Huarong, chairman of Changan Automobile. Both of them have real-name authentication in Weibo, and he prefers to use public social media such as Sina Weibo as the "main battlefield", maintaining the frequency of several Weibo updates every day. Wang Junze, on the other hand, remained invisible and did not publicly authenticate his account in Weibo.

There have been media reports that in the first event of Deep Blue, Yang Dayong’s introduction of this new brand took only 5 minutes and less than 800 words; Deng Chenghao spent 50 minutes and 8000 words sharing the technology of EPA1 platform of Deep Blue car and C385, the first model.

Today’s Deng Chenghao is more progressive. At the launch of Deep Blue G318, he gave a 157-minute speech, which made it more like a perfect solo show with frequent golden sentences. Regardless of the large-scale questioning caused by the industry and netizens; Only in the introduction of deep blue super extended range technology, the "10 first and second industries in the world are unique", can this be objectively tenable?

As a technical background, Deng Chenghao may have enough reasons to be fully confident. However, in the press conference, he ridiculed Huawei, compared BYD, and even compared his ideals. The remarks that he put all the extended-range technologies at his feet were evaluated as "propaganda has no bottom line". The most typical example is the sentence "I don’t know that the extended range of the engine is by no means a super extended range, and Deep Blue is the only brand in the mainstream extended range brand that has a deep grasp of engine technology".

Deng Chenghao’s grandiloquence is not the first time. Before that, he once said that "the mixed ceiling is a deep blue super extended range", while "Tesla’s products are old-fashioned" and even thought that "the sales volume of SL03 should be at least 178 thousand". In fact, according to the data of the Association, in 2023, the total sales volume of deep blue SL03 extended-range and pure electric vehicles was 68,000, with an average of less than 6,000 vehicles per month.

Before Changan Automobile announced the goal of 280,000 Deep Blue vehicles in 2024, Deng Chenghao had set a "global 450,000" Flag for himself and his team in Weibo. Considering that the compact SUV C857 launched as the fourth model of Deep Blue needs to be launched in the third quarter, even if this car can further lower the threshold of deep blue hybrid models to 100,000 yuan, it will be extremely difficult to help Deep Blue achieve its annual goal. Because in the first two months of 2024, the cumulative sales volume of Deep Blue was 24,000 units; Based on the calculation of 280,000 vehicles in the whole year, this requires its monthly sales volume to reach 25,600 vehicles; In 2023, the average monthly sales volume of Deep Blue was only 10,600 units.

The slogan of Deep Blue Auto is "reaching the future first", but what people see is probably more "reaching first" by star managers than "reaching first" by brands, products or users.

It is almost impossible for Aouita to become the next red flag, but it can add the best footnote to Zhu Huarong’s perfect career. The dark blue car that wants to "reach the future first" will be the most important "achievement" of Wang Jun. The premise is that deep blue can "don’t be hard" and occupy a place in the hearts of consumers in a down-to-earth and solid manner.

As three new energy vehicle brands of Changan Automobile, which are deepening the reform and facing the future, Qiyuan has a high sales volume and Aouita has a high reputation, while Deep Blue has the most long-term ambition. Deep Blue Automobile is people-oriented and "waiting" for the future!

　On February 15th, 2024, Norwegian Food Safety Bureau approved the use of rapeseed oil from transgenic rapeseed NS-B50027-4 in salmon feed, which can increase the omega-3 fatty acid content of salmon, improve the color of fish and reduce black spots. This is another approval after Norway first approved the use of transgenic rapeseed oil in fish feed in 2023. Developed by Newhide Seed Industry Co., Ltd., the rape has the characteristics of producing omega-3 fatty acids and glufosinate tolerance. It was approved for commercial cultivation in the United States and Australia in 2018, and was approved for food and feed in Australia, Canada and the United States from 2018 to 2022, and was approved for food in New Zealand. Omega-3 fatty acids for human consumption are mainly from fish oil, which is expected to become a sustainable substitute for traditional fish oil, alleviating the problems of decreasing wild fish population and high price of fish oil.

Recently, the 3-day Third Digital China Construction Summit came to an end. At the Digital China Construction Achievements Exhibition, a series of unimaginable "black technologies" such as "Idea" typing system from a distance, 5G AI conductor and "Looking, Hearing and Asking" robot immersed the audience in the futuristic digital technology scene … The "Internet Technology Tide" brought you back to the Digital China Construction Achievements Exhibition site and touched the future together.

On-the-spot Exploration of Digital China Construction Achievements Exhibition and Experience of Cool "Black Technology"

"Mind" typing from a distance completely liberates both hands

"Idea" typing system liberates hands.

The large instruction set high-speed non-invasive brain-computer interface typing system jointly developed by Tianjin University and CLP Yunnao (Tianjin) Technology Co., Ltd. attracted many people as soon as it appeared at the third Digital China Construction Summit. Users only need to wear an EEG cap and stare at the computer screen, and they can type from a distance through "ideas" without using both hands.

According to the staff, this "idea typing" system mainly uses brain-computer interface technology to pick up human brain waves and decode ideas, so as to carry out brain-controlled typing. The system has a wide application prospect in many scenes, such as aerospace, equipment control and rehabilitation medical fields.

AI robot helps realize "command dream"

Realizing the command dream with "black technology": AI robot recognizes human movements and plays music.

In front of a booth, the 5G AI conductor attracted everyone to stop, and the audience could experience the role of a music conductor. By recognizing human movements, AI robots can use 5G signal transmission to transform human gestures into command signals for robots to perform music.

"Smile ATM" Feel the Charm of Face Recognition

Small audience experience "smiling cash machine".

"What is the value of your smile?" In the Xiamen Exhibition Hall of Digital Fujian, a "smiling cash machine" was warmly welcomed by the citizens. It is understood that the "smiling cash machine" captures the degree of people’s smiles by face recognition technology, calculates the smile score through algorithm conversion, and redeems the smile according to the smile score to receive small gifts.

5G rounds the cart to set up a life guard road.

The 5G rounds cart in Fujian Provincial Hospital has played an important role in the fight against epidemic.

In the Digital Anti-epidemic Exhibition Area of Hall 8, through the remote guidance platform and the 5G rounds cart brought by Fujian Provincial Hospital, you can communicate with the experts in the COVID-19 Prevention and Control Remote Guidance Center at "zero distance" with only one big screen and one camera.

"There are 17 designated medical institutions in COVID-19, so it is unrealistic for the expert group to run back and forth. This remote guidance platform will enable experts to’ go online’ and realize’ big moves’ such as fixed-point visits and diagnosis and treatment plan specifications of medical institutions. " Cheng Xuesong, a senior engineer of Fujian Provincial Hospital, introduced that the platform integrates 5G and AI image diagnosis technology, and can realize synchronous transmission of inspection reports, images, videos and other data.

AI educational robots enter the classroom as teaching assistants.

Tang Yu, an AI educational robot, appeared in the 101 Smart Classroom in NetDragon Exhibition Area of the 3rd Digital China Construction Achievement Exhibition.

"Hello, I’m Mr. Tang Yu, the AI teaching assistant. Nice to meet you!" In the 101 Smart Classroom of NetDragon Exhibition Area, the AI education robot Tang Yu is greeting the participating citizens. She can not only answer questions from the public, but also recite ancient poems and even be clever at the scene, saying that she is "too young to fall in love".

According to reports, 101 Smart Classroom is a solution designed for the teaching scene in the basic education stage. It is hoped that through digital education products such as AI educational robots and AI courseware, teachers, students and parents will be provided with intelligent teaching solutions that connect the learning scenes inside and outside the school and run through the three links before, during and after class.

The Internet of Vehicles brings a new experience of "smart co-driver"

The audience experienced the smart screen glass in the car.

"The vehicle in front braked suddenly, please pay attention to slow down to avoid collision." "Vehicles in the right lane are about to merge, please pay attention to safety." In the booth of Hall 5, I was experiencing Chen Min in the cockpit, and I was constantly reminded by the system in advance.

The staff said that in the world of the Internet of Vehicles, all vehicles are equipped with "radar". By using the low-latency feature of 5G technology, real-time sharing of vehicle information in local areas can be realized, which is equivalent to installing "intelligent copilot" on each vehicle, which can effectively improve the traffic efficiency of vehicles.

There is no dashboard in the cockpit of the car, and the front windshield looks the same as the ordinary one. But when you sit in the cockpit and look up, you will see information such as speed, fuel quantity and fuel consumption, which are displayed on the glass one by one.

Robots come to see a doctor as Chinese medicine practitioners.

Children are scrambling to stick out their tongues on the screen of a robot.

"I’ll come, I’ll come!" Many children are scrambling to stick out their tongues on the screen of a robot. It turns out that they are asking the robot to read the tongue.

"This is the Chinese medicine robot’ Bian Que’ developed by network pharmacology and artificial intelligence technology on the basis of summarizing the theory and clinical practice of Chinese medicine." The staff said that after photographing the tongue of the experiencer, "Bian Que" made a written question and answer on the display screen through image big data processing, and asked the experiencer to feel the pulse through an electronic pulse pillow. After some "listening, listening and asking", "Bian Que" will issue a health assessment report of traditional Chinese medicine according to the experience, instructing the experience how to reduce the troubles of diseases through TCM conditioning.

Speaking of Musk’s career, you may already have a few treasures, but do you really know Musk himself? As an eye-catching and controversial innovative entrepreneur in the world, many of his behaviors can actually be found in his childhood. Unveiling the mystery of Musk, a contradictory figure, can also show us that although Musk’s success cannot be copied, his story can still inspire ordinary people.

Wen, Jennifer, May

Elon musk is the most striking and controversial entrepreneur in the world today.

Elon Musk

Any of his entrepreneurial achievements are extraordinary:

Established PayPal, one of the largest electronic payment companies in the world, subverting the traditional trading methods in one fell swoop;

Established SpaceX, the world’s first private space exploration company, and developed the world’s highest and most powerful rocket to realize the manned flight of commercial spacecraft;

Invented the electric car Tesla, leading the world into the era of electric cars;

SolarCity Sun City was founded, becoming the largest supplier of rooftop solar systems in the United States, promoting the consumption and recycling of solar technology …

This "madman" whose mission is to change and save the world likes to think about the future of mankind, and firmly believes that if the problem of sustainable energy cannot be solved in the 21st century, mankind will be in disaster. Another big problem that may affect human survival is whether Mars migration can be realized.

He not only has extraordinary imagination, but also is really moving towards his mission, gradually turning the Arabian Nights into reality.

However, on the back of great success, Musk has a very inhuman and even described as a "devil". This is not only reflected in his relationship with colleagues and subordinates, but also in his handling of intimate relationships.

Recently, The Biography of elon musk, written by the famous biographer Isaacson, was released, which showed more stories and details of his growth. This writer, who once wrote the Biography of Jobs, followed Musk closely for two years, and interviewed Musk himself, his family, friends, colleagues, ex-wife and opponents in depth.

Biography of elon musk

Author: [America] walter isaacson

In this biography, the Bund Jun is most interested in Musk’s childhood and adolescence.

What exactly shaped Musk and became him today? Although his success can’t be replicated, this genius, who is the richest man in the world and has extraordinary innovation, may still give us some enlightenment as ordinary people.

A boy with a lonely heart

Back in the 1980s, childhood Musk was shrouded in loneliness.

In kindergarten, he spent most of his time in a trance and couldn’t listen to others. This is because when he thinks about problems, it seems that all sensory systems will be shut down, and there is a tendency to stay out of it and ignore external information.

The temperament of genius also makes his socialization difficult. Because he can’t stand the "stupidity" of others, he has few friends since the day of school and becomes lonely and gloomy.

The trauma in his childhood experience further aggravated his loneliness.

He was born in a family with adventure genes. After his parents divorced, Musk and his father lived in South Africa from the age of 10.

Musk’s grandfather was born adventurous. In addition to flying around by himself, he often took his children to explore the wilderness.

His father is an engineer, a man with a violent temper and repeated emotions, and he practices "extremely strict dictatorship" over his children.

He sent 12-year-old Musk to a field survival training camp called "Field School". Here, each child can only get a little food and water, and encourage them to fight for survival materials. Every few years, a child will die here.

Musk, who was short and dull when he was a child, was not beaten less. The most serious time, he was beaten to face deformation and needed to go to the hospital for corrective treatment.

As a victim of campus bullying, in front of his father, he got double reprimand and abuse, calling him a useless idiot.

Such a scene has become a painful memory of Musk’s childhood, and it has also caused him great emotional trauma, which has affected him to this day.

Musk at the age of 8

Musk tried countless times to get rid of his father’s shadow physically and psychologically, but it was difficult to escape his father’s spiritual influence on him. There are two main influences here:

On the one hand, he began to be a copy of his father in some aspects-lack of empathy, dictatorial style and capricious extreme emotions.

The author Isaacson describes Musk in this way. His emotions will cycle between clear Wan Li and darkness, between passionate and dull, between indifference and true feelings, and occasionally fall into a "devil mode" that scares people around him.

On the other hand, childhood adversity made his pain threshold very high. In order to shield his childhood nightmares and fears, he also shielded other emotions, such as happiness and empathy.

In the eyes of his current and third wife, Musk doesn’t know how to enjoy success and enjoy the flowers and birds. Because childhood brought him the most profound constraint: life is pain.

He even hates being satisfied with the present. Therefore, the turbulent environment and fierce conflicts have a very strong attraction to Musk, which is not only reflected in his entrepreneurship, but also in his relationships that he tried to maintain but failed to last.

This is why many of his behaviors are full of childishness and even challenge the bottom line:

Publish irresponsible tweets at will and "openly smoke marijuana" in the live broadcast room; And break the law to attack those who oppose him …

He became the "mad king" Musk.

Save yourself in reading and acting.

Musk once said in an interview that he did not actively seek loneliness, and he did not want to be a lonely person.

In order to get rid of loneliness, he has been keen on attending and organizing parties since his youth. However, he is often the alien "bystander" and sometimes even picks up a book to read.

When Musk was in primary school, he was always a loner, curious about the world and persistent in facts, and was considered a nerd by his classmates.

It can be said that in adolescence, there was reading that had a profound impact on Musk.

Musk is a veritable bookworm. At most, he can read books for 9 hours a day. He began to be curious about the origin of the universe, the meaning of life and the universe very early, and even felt depressed for a time because of the meaningless life.

During this period, Musk read a lot of works of existential philosophers, such as Nietzsche, Heidegger and Schopenhauer, hoping to find the answers to the universe and life.

However, existentialism philosophy made him more confused and even desperate. That’s why, he would say later, "I don’t advise teenagers to read Nietzsche."

Fortunately, science fiction saved his "adolescent existentialism crisis". He rummaged through the science fiction works of the school and the local library, hungry.

The Severe Moon by Robert Heinlai is one of his favorite works. A question discussed in this novel later became the focus of Musk’s attention: Will the development of artificial intelligence help to protect human beings, or will machines develop their own consciousness and pose a threat to human beings?

Another set of his favorite works, "Base Trilogy", inspired his exploration on how to make human beings fly in the interstellar space, and became the foundation for his later creation of Space X.

At his age of great curiosity, the science fiction works that had the greatest influence on him were The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. This humorous story not only shaped Musk’s philosophical system, but also helped him get rid of existential depression.

After seeing a bigger world in reading, Musk began to be not satisfied with traveling in his mind, but to seek to leave in the real world.

At the age of 17, Musk decided to leave South Africa and escape the painful life with his father.

He was very mobile. He went to the embassy alone, applied for a Canadian passport of his mother’s nationality, bid farewell to his mother and brother and sister who stayed in South Africa temporarily, and went to Canada alone.

This is also the first turning point for the young Musk to usher in his life.

He bought a one-way ticket to Canada, took $4,000 in traveler’s checks and cash, and set out on a journey to a foreign country with a list of relatives who had never been masked.

Before leaving, his father said contemptuously to him, "You will come back in a few months, and you will never succeed."

In the process of taking a bus in rural Canada, Musk did encounter big trouble. Because he got off the bus halfway, he missed the bus and lost his suitcase with traveler’s checks and clothes. At this time, he had only a few books left in his backpack. As a result, he spent several weeks replacing traveler’s checks, which was extremely difficult.

Unexpectedly, it was this unfortunate experience that made him realize for the first time that the financial payment system needed a change, which became the ideological spark for his later establishment of pay pal.

I have to say that the difference in thinking between bosses and ordinary people may be here. The same experience, most people may still complain, lament, or sum up lessons, but the master has stood in a completely different dimension, thinking about the possibility of subversion and change.

This way of thinking has been repeated many times in Musk’s later growth experience. However, the problems he wanted to solve later became bigger and bigger, from the Internet to electric cars, clean energy, and then to the Mars immigration plan.

A genius driven by a sense of mission

The 17-year-old Musk went to Queen’s University after coming to Canada from South Africa. As always, he has a keen interest in history and science fiction. At the same time, he is immersed in the world of board games and computer games.

When Musk was studying at Queen’s University,

As early as living in South Africa, Musk, a teenager, liked all kinds of video games. In college, he is more focused on a strategy game, that is, many players compete with each other and use advanced strategy, resource management, logistics supply chain management and tactical thinking to build an empire.

This is the game mode that Musk loves for ten minutes: if you want to defeat the enemy, you must realize complex rules and competitive management of resources. In a way, this has also become a tool for him to hone his tactical skills and tactical thinking, and to prepare for his later commercial competition.

Musk is not completely addicted to the online world. He is lonely and unsociable, but he has a strong "self-recommendation" ability in the real world.

When studying at Queen’s University, Musk and his younger brother, kimball, developed a very interesting habit: after reading the newspaper every day, each of them chose the most interesting person, and his younger brother called to try to invite each other to lunch.

On one occasion, they selected Peter Nicholson, an executive in charge of strategic planning in scotiabank. Unexpectedly, the executive with a master’s degree in physics and a doctorate in mathematics agreed to have lunch with the two brothers.

After discussing the essence of philosophy, physics and the universe with each other, Musk was highly appreciated by his predecessor, and got a summer internship and directly entered the strategic planning team of each other.

Although this internship experience is not long, it gradually makes him clear what kind of career path he should take-that is, he is more suitable for starting a business than working for others.

There is no doubt that Musk is an ambitious careerist, but his ambition is still driven by what "big problems" he was concerned about when he was a teenager, and it gradually became his mission during his college years.

In 1992, in order to seek academic challenges, Musk took the initiative to change again. With the support of scholarships and student loans, he transferred to the University of Pennsylvania and started a new college life.

Musk and Ren Yuxiang at the University of Pennsylvania

During his studies at Penn University, Musk, who was interested in engineering issues, decided to major in physics. He hopes to become an engineer and study the most basic principles of physics. This is also the "first principle" that he later admired. Everything starts from the essence and seeks solutions to problems.

At the same time, he decided to take a double degree in business. This is not because he is interested in business, but because he is worried that if he does not study business, he will have to work for those who have studied business in the future.

Here, Musk met the only person who he admitted was "better than himself in physics"-Ren Yuxiang, who won the 22nd international physics olympiad gold medal on behalf of China, and later became his important partner in building a Tesla factory in Shanghai.

They do experiments together, study the changes of various materials at extreme temperatures, and discuss how to apply the laws of physics to making rockets. During this period, Musk has been chanting to be a rocket that can fly to Mars.

The dream of a distant rocket was planted at this time.

Musk, who was in college, was also very concerned about electric vehicles. When sitting on the campus lawn for lunch, he will read academic papers about batteries. When learning that California has just passed a regulation that 10% of vehicles in 2003 must be electric vehicles, Musk’s first reaction is that I want to achieve this goal.

At the same time, he also believes that solar energy, which has just started, is the best way to realize the vision of sustainable energy.

He wrote in his graduation thesis "The Importance of Building a Solar Society" that "human society will soon have no choice but to focus on renewable energy." On the last page of the paper, he also showed his idea of a "future power station".

The professor gave him a high score of 98 points, saying that the paper was "very interesting and well written, except that the last picture was too abrupt and a little puzzling".

Looking back, the three areas that Musk paid attention to in his student days-Internet, sustainable energy and space exploration-really shaped his career step by step, and personally founded a number of subversive companies such as PayPal, Tesla Motors, SpaceX and Solar City.

Musk is not only a genius figure, but also an ambitious man driven by a sense of mission to some extent.

In his childhood and adolescence, the big problems he thought about and the sci-fi works he was obsessed with contributed to the formation of a sense of mission, which will further ferment and mature in the future.

Even his motivation for learning in the future is driven by a strong sense of mission, in order to realize the big problems in his mind and have an impact in the real world.

When a person learns knowledge with the desire to change reality, knowledge will be transformed into ability and value.

A gifted child, with the blessing of reading, action and mission, has achieved success, which is simply a matter of course.

However, this genius who is changing, or has changed the world, should always deal with his demons.

As the author Isaacson said, the influence of his father on Musk in childhood seems to be a dark force. This strong and fragile boy, in his epic expedition, is ready to compete with this dark force.

The story of genius cannot be copied, but we can still see how much magic a person’s childhood experience has on his shaping.

At the same time, for most people, we don’t have Musk’s amazing talent, and we don’t necessarily have some opportunities for him. However, it should be a good thing to find the areas of interest from reading, to find the changes that we can make from the real world, and to live and learn new knowledge with a mission-like enthusiasm.

The unlabeled graphs are all from the network.

　　In the program, Rene Liu said that after graduating from high school, he went to the United States to study vocal music and piano performance, and obtained a bachelor’s degree in classical music. Once I went swimming in the swimming pool, I happened to meet Bobby Chen who was relaxing. By chance, they became apprentices. Since then, Bobby Chen has brought Rene Liu to the famous Rolling Stone Records Company as his personal assistant. In the program, talking about the teacher, Rene Liu said emotionally: "A few years ago, sometimes when I felt that I couldn’t spell, I would drive to where he was, walk in, and when he saw me, he touched my head. Then I will be fine. When I see him, I feel that I am fine. "

　　In addition, there was a scene in the program: Rene Liu, who just released a new album, wanted to give the record All Night to Master, but when she knelt down and delivered the record, Master refused to say, "Don’t give away your album rashly. This is not a business card, nor is it a springboard for you to marry into a rich family. Our spirit is inside, and we can’t just give it to others. " Perhaps it’s a long time since I heard the teacher’s exhortation. During the recording of the whole program, Rene Liu was always in tears.

　　[News] A few days ago, we learned from the authorized dealers in the region that the price of the 00 government-specific version, which was not announced when it was listed in November last year, has been announced.The price is 399,800 yuan., and has accepted the customer reservation.

"Red Flag HQ3』"

　　The salesman of the authorized dealer of Hongqi HQ3 said: "The price of the government-specific version of Hongqi HQ300 is 399,800, mainly to meet the needs of government customers. However, individual customers can also book this model, but the waiting time for picking up the car is a little longer, about two weeks. Other models of Hongqi HQ3 can pick up the car in about 10 days. "

　　The price difference between this HQ300 government special edition and HQ300 business model is 100,000 yuan, so what are the differences between these two cars? By comparing their configuration tables, we can see that, compared with the business version, the government version lacks the safe and comfortable configuration such as electric sunroof, reversing guide monitor, reversing radar, front windshield speed image display, side air curtain, side airbag, front and rear seat heating, rear air conditioner, refrigerator, intelligent induction door lock and Bluetooth hands-free system, and the seat covering material is also changed from leather to woven fabric.

　　If you are interested in the government-specific version of Hongqi HQ300, please consult the local Hongqi HQ3 dealer. (Text/car home PG One)
