　　[car home Car Information] We have made a separate investigation and analysis on the maintenance prices of conventional cars owned by Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi in the first two weeks. Today, we will make a big summary for everyone. Let’s take a look at the maintenance prices of these three brands.

---

　　As for the choice of vehicle types, we have chosen two relatively representative vehicles in each of the three basics: medium-sized cars, medium-sized cars and luxury cars. In the field of medium-sized cars, they are Mercedes-Benz C200K and C260, BMW 320i and 325i, and Audi A4L2.0T；; The fields of medium and large vehicles are Mercedes-Benz E200 and E300, BMW 523Li and 530Li, and Audi A6L 2.0T and 2.4. Luxury cars are Mercedes S300 and S600, BMW 730Li and 760Li, and Audi A8L 3.0L and 6.0L, with a total of 17 models.

---

Medium-sized cars: Mercedes-Benz C200K, C260, BMW 320i, 325i, Audi A4L2.0T

　　Among the three luxury mid-size cars, the sales volume of Audi A4L has an absolute advantage in this class, and the 2.0T model is the best-selling displacement among them, while the 1.8T and 3.2L models are neglected. The same situation also appears in BMW 3 Series and mercedes benz c Class cars. The sales of BMW 320i and Mercedes-Benz C200K are good, but at the same time, the market performance of BMW 325i and Mercedes-Benz C260 is ok. Let’s take a look at the maintenance prices of these seven cars.

Maintenance Price List of mercedes benz c Class, BMW 3 Series and Audi A4L (unit: RMB)
	Mercedes C200K	Mercedes-Benz C260	Bmw 320i	Bmw 325i	Audi A4L 2.0T
Minor maintenance: Oil maintenance (Replace the oil filter)	1725	2349	820	1115	860

"Beijing Benz mercedes benz c Class 2010 C200K Standard"

"BMW Brilliance BMW 3 Series 2010 320i Fashion Model"

"FAW Audi A4L 2010 2.0 TFSI Technology Type"

　　Judging from the price of routine maintenance, compared with Audi A4L and mercedes benz c, BMW 3 Series has obvious advantages in terms of both major maintenance and minor maintenance. The single maintenance price of Audi A4L model is moderate, but the maintenance price of mercedes benz c Class is obviously expensive, which is twice as high as that of BMW 3 Series basically listed.In terms of maintenance cycle, the original factories of Mercedes-Benz and BMW stipulate that 10,000 kilometers should be a minor maintenance and 30,000 kilometers should be a major maintenance, while Audi stipulates that 5,000 kilometers should be a minor maintenance and 15,000 kilometers should be a major maintenance, which is half of that of Mercedes-Benz and BMW. However, under normal circumstances, the staff of Mercedes-Benz and BMW 4S stores will advise the owners to do maintenance at 7000-8000 km, while Audi basically allows the owners to do maintenance at 7000-8000 km. Of course, the specific maintenance cycle will be determined according to the actual use of each car. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the actual maintenance cycle of these three cars is roughly the same.

"The original factory of Mercedes-Benz designated Jin Mobil No.1 SM 0W-40 all over synthetic engine oil"

"BMW original factory designated Castrol to protect SM 5W-30 all over synthetic engine oil"

"Audi original factory designated (Castrol OEM) SM 5W-40 all over synthetic engine oil"

　　In the choice of engine oil, these three luxury brands will naturally not be shabby, and SM-level synthetic engine oil is certain. Among them, the oil designated by Audi and BMW are all Castrol products. Of course, BMW will also provide two kinds of SM-grade all-synthetic engine oil products, namely Grey Shell and Jin Mobil No.1, according to the climate and environment of different 4S stores. As for Mercedes-Benz, there are not so many choices, so we just offer the 0W-40 all over synthetic engine oil. In terms of price, Audi is the cheapest, the unit price is 92 yuan/liter, followed by BMW at 125 yuan/liter, and Mercedes-Benz is relatively expensive at 168 yuan/liter.

　　At the same time, the editor needs to explain something here, about the amount of oil. Mercedes benz c-class cars have a big appetite. As a four-cylinder car, C200K can be said to have a considerable amount of better engine oil of 6L at a time. The oil consumption of V6 engines of C230, 260 and C300 is 8.5L. As a four-cylinder car, BMW 320i needs about 4.5L to change the oil once, and the oil consumption of the straight six engine of 325i model is about 6.5l.. The 2.0T engine oil consumption of Audi A4L is basically the same as that of BMW 320i, ranging from 4.5L to 5.0L..

Medium and large cars: Mercedes-Benz E200, E300, BMW 523Li, 530Li and Audi A6L 2.0T, 2.4.

　　At present, in the field of medium and large-sized cars in China, Audi A6L has a higher dominance than Audi A4L in medium-sized cars. The annual sales of more than 100,000 vehicles are astounding, and the relatively low-end 2.0T and 2.4L models are the main sales products. With the development of domestic market in recent years, BMW 5 Series has also achieved good results. Among them, 523Li is the absolute main product, and 530Li has won the appreciation of some high-end users with its rich configuration and excellent power. As for Mercedes-Benz E-Class, although the market performance is average, we can’t ignore its existence with its golden signboard of "three-pointed star". Especially in recent months, with the lower price of imported Mercedes-Benz E-Class cars, the sales of Mercedes-Benz E-Class cars have a gradual upward trend. Among them, E200 and E300 are relatively representative. Let’s take a look at the maintenance price of these cars.

Maintenance price list of Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series and Audi A6L (unit: RMB)
	Mercedes E200 1.8T M271	Mercedes-benz E300 3.0 V6 M272	Bmw 523Li	Bmw 530Li	Audi A6L 2.0T	Audi A6L 2.4

Date of Form Collection: July 16th, 2010

　　Judging from the price in the above table, the large maintenance cost of Mercedes-Benz E-Class is still the most expensive, but the small maintenance cost is reasonable. Take the E200CGI model with M271 1.8L in-line four-cylinder turbocharged engine as an example, the small maintenance price of replacing oil and machine filter is 1783 yuan, which is reasonable compared with the price of six-cylinder BMW 5 Series Xiaobao of 1115 yuan and Audi A6L with different displacement models of 1300-1600 yuan. But if it is replaced by a six-cylinder Mercedes E300 model, the price will be much more expensive.

"Mercedes-Benz (imported) Mercedes-Benz E-Class (imported) 09 E 300 Fashion Model"

"BMW Brilliance BMW 5 Series 2010 523Li Leading Model"

"FAW Audi A6L 2010 2.4 Comfort Type"

　　However, if we compare the large maintenance prices of the replacement oil filter, air filter and air conditioner filter of these three models, Mercedes-Benz is obviously much more expensive. Doing roughly the same maintenance content, the cost of Mercedes-Benz is basically twice that of BMW, and it is about 50% more expensive than Audi.

Luxury cars: Mercedes S300, S600, BMW 730Li, 760Li and Audi A8L 3.0L and 6.0L.

　　In the field of luxury cars, Mercedes-Benz BMW has finally found its face, and Mercedes-Benz S-Class can sit firmly in this basic model and it is difficult to shake in the short term. Bmw 7 series, with the launch of E66 in China, has also achieved good market performance. As for Audi A8L, although China has a special preference for this brand, it also has a certain sales volume, but it is much worse than Audi A6L and A4L. As for the choice of car models, the editor chose the entry-level Mercedes S300, BMW 730Li and Audi A8L 3.0, and their respective flagships, 12-cylinder models.

"BMW (imported) BMW 7 Series 730Li Luxury Model"

"Audi (imported) Audi A8 2010 3.0 FSI Centennial Edition"

　　As a million-class luxury car, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series and Audi A8L can’t match the maintenance cost of these three models naturally, but judging from the small maintenance price of normal oil change and machine filter, BMW is still the cheapest of these three brands. Even the 760Li of V12 is less than 1,500 yuan at a time, which is quite surprising. The price difference between Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Audi A8L is not too much, both of which are around 2000-2500 yuan. Only Audi A8L 6.0L has a higher price, close to 3,000 yuan. As for the big maintenance cost, BMW is the cheapest, Audi is the second, and Mercedes is the most expensive. Among them, the price of Mercedes-Benz is twice that of BMW and about 50% more expensive than that of Audi, which is roughly the same as that of previous models.

Editor’s comment:

　　With the increasing competition in the domestic auto market, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi, the three German luxury brands, are getting closer and closer to our lives. Nowadays, you can buy a BMW 318i, Audi A4L or Mercedes-Benz C180K for more than 200,000 yuan, and you can drive the BMW 5 Series, Audi A6L or the original imported Mercedes-Benz E-Class for about 400,000 yuan. Although on the whole, these cars are not very close to the people, in any case, compared with 10 years ago or even 5 years ago, they can be said to be a big step closer to the lives of the people.

　　But at the same time, we can often hear many people say that entry-level models of luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi can afford them, but they can’t afford them. Today, the editor hopes that through this article, everyone can have a simple but systematic understanding of the general maintenance prices of these three brands of cars, hoping to help you choose, use and raise a car. At the same time, in the near future, we will launch more articles on the horizontal comparison of maintenance prices of the same grade vehicles, so please look forward to it.

　　Since the beginning of January this year, residents of Weicheng Town, Guiyang City, located in the mountainous area of Guizhou Province, have often seen a drone shuttle through the town. Under the belly of the plane, there was a box with the words "China Post". The local people later learned that this drone was used by the post office in the town to deliver mail to the surrounding mountain villages. Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned from the local post office on the 15th that this drone now flies twice a week, and it will be promoted if it works well in the future.

　　Postman part-time drone operator

　　On the morning of 15th, Wang Hua, a staff member of Weicheng Post Sub-bureau in Guiyang, took his drone to an open space near the town, and prepared to deliver newspapers and some mails to five villages around the town.

　　Wang Hua is a postman. He used to ride a motorcycle to deliver mail to several surrounding villages three times a week. Because the mountain road is rugged, although the distance is not far, it takes a whole day to deliver it every time. Since the beginning of January this year, Wang Hua has added a new task, which is to operate drones to transport mail.

　　"Our economy is not developed here. Many people have never seen drones, so many people gathered around to see them when they first started flying. Some old people asked us about the timetable for flying drones and came to see them several times." Wang Hua said.

　　Wang Hua said that he is driving a drone, but in fact the main operation is not done by him. He is mainly responsible for loading mail on the drone and then checking the battery. The flight route has long been set by the company that developed the drone. All he has to do is scan the QR code on the plane with his mobile phone, and then click the start button on the mobile phone, and the plane can fly according to the pre-designed route.

　　"It used to take a whole day to send the mail from these villages by motorcycle. Now the whole route is flown by drones, which is more than an hour." Wang Hua said.

　　Flying to every village requires changing batteries.

　　Director Chen Zhongxiang of Weicheng Post Sub-office told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that at present, there is only one drone in the town post office, and they selected five villages, namely Yingyan, Yinqiao, Maixiang, Xingguang and Lianhua Temple, as delivery pilots. Chen Zhongxiang said that these villages were chosen because they are relatively remote, and it takes too long and the road is dangerous to send mail into the village by manpower.

　　Chen Zhongxiang said that the UAV they are using now has a diameter of more than 1 meter and six propellers. In theory, it can carry about 7 kilograms of goods. However, for safety reasons, the stipulated delivery weight is no more than 5 kilograms, and the flying distance between villages is about 10 minutes. Every time you fly to a village, you need people from the village to help replace the new battery, and then you can fly to the next village. The whole journey is a "relay" process.

　　"The plane must be fully charged before it can take off. The last time we saw the power of the plane was 82%, we felt that we could complete a flight, but after the start, the plane still could not take off. This may be the design made by the aircraft research and development enterprise for the absolute safety of the aircraft." Chen Zhongxiang said.

　　Temporarily unable to replace manual delivery.

　　According to the staff of the UAV R&D company, when the plane lands, it needs to lay a red and blue positioning carpet at the landing site. The UAV is equipped with a sensor in the vertical direction. When it searches for the positioning carpet, it will land accurately. Location.

　　Chen Zhongxiang told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that it was not the decision of the town post office to equip the town post office with drones, but the higher authorities chose the Weicheng post office as a pilot. If the use effect is good in the future, it will continue to be promoted.

　　"Many people in the village felt particularly fresh when they saw the plane at first, and the people in charge of managing the plane in each village also had a WeChat group. When the plane took off and landed, everyone would inform each other."

　　Annabelle of Xingguang Village Committee is one of the managers of this drone. Every time he receives the mail from his village, he also needs to replace the plane with a new battery. "If the battery is not fully charged, the plane can’t fly, but there will definitely be no forgetting to charge the battery. Everyone will remind each other when they have WeChat groups."

　　Chen Zhongxiang said that in the past, the postman of the post office had to go into the mountain three times a week, but now it has been reduced to twice a week, while the drone now flies twice a week. If the effect is good in the future, it will increase the flight frequency. "But due to the limitation of load, drones can’t completely replace the postman now, and everywhere they go, they need people to get express delivery for batteries. There are still some troubles. It would be nice if these jobs can be replaced by machines in the future."

　　An elderly person is broadcasting live. The picture comes from the Internet.

　　In recent years, more and more middle-aged and elderly people shine brilliantly on the Internet platform. Sending short videos, opening live broadcasts and selling goods online … … They have subverted people’s traditional impression of old age, attracted a large number of fans to watch and become a beautiful landscape in the era of mobile internet.

　　"Silver-haired online celebrity" shows a different style

　　Accompanied by ancient music, four ladies dressed in batik cheongsam are walking leisurely. They are either holding red umbrellas or dancing folding fans, smiling and full of confidence. This is a 15-second short video released by Tik Tok’s account "Fashion Grandma Group", which has received nearly 1.5 million likes. It is hard to imagine that they are a group of "silver-haired online celebrity" with an average age of 68.

　　In Aauto Quicker, Tik Tok, bilibili and other short video platforms, countless "silver online celebrity" are everywhere. For example, Tik Tok’s account "Qinba Grandma Qinba Yiwei" records the rural life of two old people near Daba Mountain. Grandma’s cooking of braised pig’s trotters, potato Baba fried bacon, pulp water and other foods in southern Shaanxi made netizens salivate. At present, the account has gained 2.73 million fans and been praised more than 34 million times; The handsome "Grandpa Beihai" often wears a suit, a hat and a bow tie. His love for life and his spirit of "not being old" make many young people envy him. The short video released by "Grandpa Jigong" begins with "Dear Dolls", telling life experiences and talking about the world in simple language, as kind as grandpa next door; "Grandma Wang who only wears high heels" has a live broadcast with goods, and its sales can reach several million yuan, surpassing many young live broadcasts in online celebrity.

　　In the Internet era of "everyone has a microphone", the elderly are no longer network insulators. They pursue fashion, are confident and enthusiastic, know how to consume and love life, and show a unique style of "the most beautiful is the sunset red".

　　The 45th Statistical Report on Internet Development in China shows that by March 2020, the number of netizens in China reached 904 million, and the number of mobile phone users reached 897 million. Among netizens, netizens aged 50 and above account for 16.9%, and the number exceeds 150 million. The Internet continues to penetrate into middle-aged and elderly people.

　　Perceive the temperature of the years from the live broadcast

　　The reporter found out that the "silver-haired people" who are currently popular on the Internet are mainly divided into three categories: First, they show their young mentality and self-disciplined living habits. They often dress well and maintain a good posture and mental outlook, showing people the "exquisite life" of the elderly. The second is to record fragments of daily life. In the warmth and fun of the old people with their wives, children and grandchildren, netizens can feel the deep affection and see the true temperament of the old people who are childlike, lovely and straightforward. The third is to share life common sense and experience. Such as introducing health knowledge through live broadcast, recording short videos to interpret common scams and warning people how to deal with them.

　　What is the charm of "Silver-haired online celebrity"? Some insiders pointed out that there are three "degrees" advantages in online celebrity, namely, the length of life experience, the width of knowledge and the depth of professional fields. Specifically, the rich life experience and social experience of the elderly are not available to young people. They are well-informed, often thoroughly study their own professional fields, have strong comprehensive ability to deal with problems, and have a unique charm of time precipitation. When they express their little philosophies in life as experienced people, they will give people a sense of reliability and peace of mind.

　　Online celebrity’s old people have resonated with their peers, and at the same time, they have been loved and sought after by a large number of young people. For example, seeing the warm picture of "Grandma Qinba" and her wife taking care of each other, many netizens were envious and said that "this is love, and happiness is included in the plain". Industry analysts pointed out that, by contrast, the videos of Grandpa online celebrity and Grandma online celebrity are more authentic, frank and cordial, arousing many young people’s fond childhood memories, and arousing their yearning for their loved ones, family and affection, which is more penetrating and user-friendly.

　　The "silver hair economy" market is on the rise.

　　In May this year, "I’m Grandma Tian" in online celebrity, Tik Tok opened the first live show with goods, and achieved sales of 1.5 million yuan. Experts pointed out that behind the outbreak of "silver-haired online celebrity" is the rise of the trillion-dollar "silver-haired economy" market.

　　Recently, the China Development Report 2020: Trends and Policies of Population Aging in China issued by China Development Foundation said that by 2022, the population over 65 in China will account for 14% of the total population, realizing the transformation to an aging society. In 2050, the aging in China will reach its peak, and the population over 65 will account for 27.9% of the total population in China. "Silver-haired economy" will become a new growth point to promote the sustainable development of China’s economy in the future aging society.

　　Li Jia, deputy director of Pangu Think Tank Aging Society Research Center, believes that what middle-aged and elderly people need is to find more channels to release their abilities and energy and become participants in social development and progress. As the post-60s with higher education begin to retire, middle-aged and elderly people will be completely separated from the stereotype of "digital refugees" in the past, and their social needs are growing day by day, which is a good opportunity for the market to mature.

　　"Silver-haired online celebrity" not only spreads the positive energy of loving life and attaching importance to family, but also is a blue ocean with infinite opportunities. The insiders believe that the current market consumption potential of "Silver Hair online celebrity" has not been fully tapped, and there is still huge market space. To achieve the economic benefits of "silver-haired online celebrity", we need team packaging and continuous content output. In addition, due to limited energy, the old people are not familiar with the Internet economy and fans’ psychology, and the live broadcast of goods still faces no small challenge.

On March 22nd, official website, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, showed that Black Sesame International Holding Limited (hereinafter referred to as "Black Sesame Intelligence"), an autonomous driving research and development enterprise, submitted its application for listing on the main board again, with CICC, Huatai International and CCB International as its co-sponsors.

　　In the middle of the night, the well-dressed female anchor sat in the live broadcast room, shouting for everyone to click on the little yellow car and place an order to buy products such as plum fruit. In front of the spotlight, there are two monkeys wearing diapers and skirts. They climb on the female anchor and sometimes make a cry, becoming a "powder-sucking weapon" in the live broadcast room.

　　These female anchors have another identity. They are zookeepers. In the evening, they will dress up their monkeys and start live broadcast with goods. Some anchors even broadcast live until midnight. The extreme news reporter also found that there were also anchors who painted lipstick on monkeys during the live broadcast.

　　These anchors have attracted many fans by dressing up cute monkeys, but many netizens are worried that these monkeys will be "forced to open business" in the spotlight every day, and will they be hurt?

　　On May 27, the wildlife protection department of the city where the relevant zoo is located responded to the journalist, and the zoo was not allowed to use monkeys to bring goods live. After investigation and verification, this behavior would be stopped.

　　"Monkey Anchor" was forced to open late at night

　　"Special offer once a month, let’s hurry up and shoot, and count down for 10 seconds … …” Late at night on May 25th, a blogger named "Xiaoxinxin" sat in the live broadcast room and recommended a plum fruit product, claiming that the plum fruit has the function of losing weight.

　　Unlike other anchors with goods, this anchor is crawling with two monkeys. One of them was wearing a diaper, and the other older one was wearing a flowered skirt. On the table in front of the anchor, in addition to the products she promoted, there is also a sign printed with "Xinmaqi Fantasy Animal Theme Park Work Permit". A netizen who just entered the live broadcast room asked: "Why can I bring a monkey live?" The anchor replied: "Because I am their keeper."

　　The breeder of Hebei Hengshui Xinmaqi Fantasy Animal Theme Park is broadcasting live (Source: video screenshot)

　　During the live broadcast, two monkeys clung to the anchor’s clothes and snuggled up to her, sometimes squinting. The anchor put them on the table and wanted to stand up and show the slimming effect after eating plum fruit. When a monkey saw that the anchor was ready to get up, he swooped back into her arms, tugged at her clothes firmly and squeaked until the anchor held it in his arms and stroked it like a baby, and the monkey’s mood stabilized.

　　Many netizens said that the monkey may be too sleepy and need to sleep, so his mood is uneasy. The anchor said that the monkey thought she was leaving, so she climbed on top of her.

　　The live broadcast lasted until after 0 o’clock the next day.

　　Also broadcast live late at night, there is an anchor in Tieling, Liaoning. The anchor’s live broadcast room has a work permit hanging on his chest, and the background of the live broadcast room has the words "Tieling Longshoushan Zoo". In the live broadcast room, there is a monkey named "Little Apple", wearing a red skirt, and sucking the "Shumian Fuling Ziziphus jujuba seed paste" in the anchor’s hand. The anchor is also promoting a plum fruit and a probiotic freeze-dried powder that is said to have weight loss effect.

　　A zoo keeper in Tieling, Liaoning Province asked monkeys to bow to netizens (Source: video screenshot)

　　The live broadcast record of the anchor shows that on May 24, several of her live broadcasts began at 6: 50 pm and ended at 0: 30 on the 25th. At 8: 27 pm on the 25th, she started the live broadcast again until 0: 21 the next day.

　　In addition to the anchors that broadcast live at night, there are also some anchors that broadcast live during the day. In Hengshui Wildlife Park in Hengshui City, Hebei Province, a keeper opened two accounts, and the live broadcast record of one account showed that on May 26th, she started at 1 pm and ended at around 10: 30 pm, during which several live broadcasts were conducted.

　　On the afternoon of 27th, Jimu journalists entered the anchor’s live broadcast room and saw a monkey in diapers and a monkey in clothes playing in a corner, eating melon seeds, etc. The anchor only spoke beside him and didn’t appear. The anchor said that there are many monkeys in the zoo and they will appear one by one.

　　In the live broadcast room of a zoo keeper in Siyang, Jiangsu, the reporter saw that the anchor was selling a cosmetic at a loud voice, and the little monkey in front of her squinted from time to time and looked very tired. Some netizens expressed their distress.

　　Someone once made monkeys smoke and wear lipstick.

　　After consulting the accounts of these breeders’ anchors, Jimu journalists found that they not only let the monkeys appear in the live broadcast, but also update short videos about monkeys every day to attract fans’ attention.

　　The video released by the keeper of Hengshui Wildlife Park shows that she often interacts with monkeys and baboons in clothes, sometimes giving them a bath and sometimes feeding them lollipops and lactic acid bacteria drinks. A video updated by the anchor in March this year shows that a monkey has three lollipops in his mouth, his cheeks are bulging and he still holds a lollipop in his hand.

　　In the video released by Xiao Xinxin, the monkey will sit on a stool like a human being, cross his legs and hold a bottle of drink. There is also a plate of fruit on the stool next to it and a tablet computer in front. The scene is obviously designed by the breeder, and the video has 178,000 likes.

　　In the video released by the male breeder of a zoo in Jilin, he sometimes takes the monkey to eat fried dough sticks in the ice and snow, sometimes takes the monkey to eat French fries, and sometimes eats instant noodles and ice cream. This monkey has become a food broadcaster.

　　The extreme journalist also noticed that in the video released by the breeder, a monkey was holding an unlit cigarette and biting it, with the caption "The little guy shredded all the cigarettes to help her uncle quit smoking". Some netizens commented: Don’t play with cigarettes for monkeys.

　　The behavior of these breeders taking monkeys live and shooting short videos has also caused many netizens to worry that these behaviors will hurt monkeys, and some videos are even suspected of abusing monkeys.

　　In November last year, some netizens reported that Hengshui Wildlife Park had forced a young monkey to smoke and filmed a short video and sent it online. This behavior was suspected of cruelty to animals, or attracted attention and promoted the park by hype. The video shows that a monkey is sitting on a small bench with a lit cigarette in his mouth. Because of the smoke stimulation, the little monkey keeps blinking. After someone took the cigarette, the little monkey rubbed his eyes, then lay on the ground and was covered with white cloth, suggesting "death". The words "smoking is harmful to health" also appeared in the video.

　　At that time, the zoo had explained to the media that the monkey just posed with cigarettes and didn’t really smoke. The short video was just to promote "smoking is harmful to health". The video was deleted after it caused controversy.

　　Another video obtained by Jimu journalist shows that the keeper of Hengshui Wildlife Park once put lipstick on it with a monkey in his arms. Some netizens also questioned that this move is animal cruelty. At present, the video has been deleted from the accounts of the zoo and the breeder, but some people are still forwarding it.

　　The breeder of Hengshui Wildlife Park in Hebei once painted lipstick on monkeys (Source: video screenshot)

　　The reporter also noticed that on May 1 last year, the female breeder of Qinhu Zoo in Taizhou, Jiangsu Province painted eye makeup for monkeys in the live broadcast and promoted beauty products. In February of this year, another netizen reported that the breeder gave the monkey milk and drinks, ate strawberries, durian, longan, lychee, etc., and made a short video live. The Network Information Office of Jiangyan District Committee of Taizhou City replied that the office, together with relevant departments, had an interview with the anchor and the person in charge of Qinhu Zoo, reiterated the relevant laws and regulations, urged him to remove the products containing bad content before, and asked him not to make up monkeys, not to use live monkeys to bring goods, and not to use live monkeys for a long time.

　　The wildlife protection department said that it would stop the live broadcast.

　　The journalist noticed that the keeper of Qinhu Zoo temporarily stopped updating short videos from May 16th. She replied to netizens in the comment area that she has arrived in Binzhou, Shandong Province and will resume live broadcast in the near future.

　　On May 27th, Jimu journalists called Qinhu Zoo many times, but no one answered. The reporter also called Hengshui Wildlife Park and Xinmaqi Fantasy Animal Theme Park respectively, suggesting that some netizens thought it was inappropriate to use monkeys to bring goods live, and the relevant staff responded and would report the matter to the leaders. That night, Simaqi Fantasy Animal Theme Park replied to the reporter that the live broadcast time would be adjusted in the future, and monkeys would not be allowed to live in the middle of the night.

　　The reporter also contacted the Nature Reserve and Wildlife Protection Management Section of Hengshui Natural Resources and Planning Bureau. The staff said that the zoo was not allowed to use monkeys to carry goods live. After investigation and verification, they would stop this behavior.

　　At 9: 00 p.m. on May 27th, a journalist noticed that the keepers of the above two zoos in Hengshui City had not carried out live broadcast with goods.

　　Hu Huijian, a researcher and doctoral supervisor at the Institute of Zoology, Guangdong Academy of Sciences, said that primates such as monkeys are protected animals at or above the national level, and artificial breeding of monkeys should go through legal procedures such as the Wild Animal Domestication and Breeding License. If individuals or units do not have relevant certificates of legally owning monkeys, it is illegal. From the perspective of wildlife protection, using monkeys to carry goods live will definitely have an impact on wildlife. Because whether it is a zoo or an individual raising monkeys, we must consider "abundance", that is, the needs of wild animals for the environment and psychological needs.

　　Animals need a good natural environment, and live broadcast with goods is in a very artificial environment, and monkeys certainly have no will to live broadcast with goods, so forcing them to live broadcast with goods is a serious violation of animal welfare. If the breeder puts makeup on the monkey, forces the monkey to take a photo, or forces it to do some body movements, it is not only against animal welfare, but even suspected of cruelty to animals.

　　In addition, among all primates, humans need the shortest sleep time, while monkeys need 10 to 15 hours of sleep time, while monkeys generally move during the day, so live broadcast at night will also affect the rest of monkeys.

　　Wu Zhenyu, the winner of Golden Horse in Taiwan Province, is famous for his outspoken and outspoken attitude in the entertainment circle. Yesterday, when he came to Shanghai to walk for a brand, he threw an amazing view in public. He bluntly said: "The lower the education level, the greater the probability of getting rich." Gu Xiaoming, a professor at Fudan University, thinks that Wu Zhenyu’s theory that it is difficult to get rich by reading is biased, but it also has some truth. "There are indeed many rich people who have no education, but they have tacit knowledge. Reading is not useless, the key is not to die reading. "

　　The theory of "getting rich" is surprising.

　　Yesterday, Wu Zhenyu appeared in Shanghai as the image spokesman of worship, but the media was most concerned about his film and television works. In this regard, Wu Zhenyu said that he and a screenwriter friend recently completed an English novel, "adapted from a screenplay." He also revealed that he had advised his friend to quit his job as a professor and concentrate on writing this novel. However, his reason is surprising. "I think reading too much in college will paralyze my brain, because books are all old things."

　　In the subsequent interview, Wu Zhenyu threw out the theory that it is difficult to get rich by reading. "I found that the lower the education level, the greater the probability of getting rich. Go and see how many rich people have read many books, and Lang Lang only plays the piano. " When the media questioned that Lang Lang had gone to college, he responded: "It’s an art school, just playing the piano." He also said bluntly that he would use this view to educate his children.

　　Currently focusing on TV dramas.

　　Wu Zhenyu’s memorable roles in film and television dramas are mostly malicious and bad characters. In this regard, Wu Zhenyu said that he didn’t care about always playing "bad guys" and didn’t deliberately want to transform. He also smiled and asked, "aren’t there still many actors who are bent on playing the bad guys?"

　　Asked about his latest work, Wu Zhenyu revealed that he was currently filming a TV series about medical ethics in Qingdao. He said with a smile: "I am’ the countryside surrounds the city’. Now many actors who make TV dramas are proud of making movies, so I will make TV dramas. " For the invitation of TV series, Wu Zhenyu is open to all. However, his agent said that Wu Zhenyu’s interest in TVB was not great, which was not that he was dissatisfied with TVB. The main reason was that TVB’s pay was too low, because they were all contracted artists.

　　Wu Zhenyu admits that he is not used to the style of filming by mainland directors. "I like to be able to restore a complete scene when filming. However, when filming in the mainland, there were too many crew members. As soon as the filming started, everyone came out at once, and their breathing could be heard at the scene. "

　　Experts’ Interpretation of Wu’s "Reading Theory"

　　Regarding Wu Zhenyu’s theory that it is difficult to get rich by reading yesterday, Gu Xiaoming, a professor at Fudan University, bluntly said, "Reading is certainly useful, but now there is something wrong with our education. Nowadays, experts and scholars are always’ this is Harvard University’. It seems that there is no other knowledge in the world except these famous universities. "

　　He later thought that Wu Zhenyu’s theory of "reading is difficult to get rich" also had some truth. "Indeed, many of our successful businessmen have not received higher education. But these self-made entrepreneurs have tacit knowledge and are rarely bound by the frame. " Gu Xiaoming concluded: "Reading is both useful and useless. It’s definitely not good to just gnaw at dead books. It takes 20 years for the theory of textbooks to accumulate, 10 years for all of them to be reviewed, 10 years for printing, distribution and promotion, and a textbook can often be used for another 10 years. Adding up the knowledge in textbooks and the knowledge in reality, it is actually decoupled for 50 years. Therefore, the key to reading is to combine knowledge with practice.

　　■ In June, a total of 34.767 billion yuan of lottery tickets were sold nationwide, a decrease of 23.862 billion yuan or 40.7% over the same period of last year.

　　■ Not only did the monthly data decline, but the reporter combed the lottery sales data in the first half of the past decade and found that the lottery sales showed negative growth year-on-year for the first time in the first half of this year.

　　■ What causes the lottery market to be cold? What is the future trend of lottery market? The reporter combed and interviewed this.

　　Encounter cold

　　In the first half of the year, national lottery sales fell first.

　　Lottery sales were cold this year. From January to June, the national lottery sales totaled 212.596 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 32.602 billion yuan or 13.3%. Among them, the sales of welfare lottery institutions was 97.757 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 12.838 billion yuan or 11.6%; The sales of sports lottery institutions reached 114.839 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 19.764 billion yuan or 14.7%.

　　The reporter combed 2010 — The lottery sales data in the first half of the decade in 2019 found that this was the first time that there was a year-on-year decline.

　　Judging from the monthly data, in June this year, the country sold a total of 34.767 billion yuan of lottery tickets, down 40.7% from the same period of last year. The year-on-year decline was mainly due to the large sales of quiz lottery games in the World Cup in June 2018, with a high base in the same period last year. In the first half of 2018, lottery sales increased by as much as 19.6%.

　　Looking back on the lottery market in the past ten years, from 2010 to 2012, it experienced a double-digit rapid growth period, and then the growth rate gradually decreased to single digits, and negative growth occurred for the first time in the first half of 2019.

　　The data shows that from 2010 to the first half of 2012, the national lottery sales maintained a rapid growth of more than 20%, which was a period of rapid growth of China’s lottery market; In 2013 and 2014, the growth rate of national lottery sales fell below 20%; From 2015 to the first half of 2017, the growth rate of national lottery sales dropped significantly, only 5.2%, 3.5% and 5.5% respectively.

　　Where do people prefer to buy lottery tickets when lottery sales are relatively low? Geographically, data from the Ministry of Finance show that in June, compared with the same period of last year, lottery sales in 31 provinces all declined. However, from the cumulative data in the first half of the year, compared with the same period of last year, lottery sales in five provinces increased, namely Sichuan, Shanghai, Henan, Anhui and Beijing, with year-on-year increases of 1.681 billion yuan, 234 million yuan, 190 million yuan, 172 million yuan and 45 million yuan respectively. As far as the overall sales volume in the first half of the year is concerned, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong, Zhejiang and Henan rank among the top five in the country.

　　cause

　　Strengthen the supervision of high-frequency fast-opening games

　　Why did lottery sales decline in the first half of this year? An expert in the lottery industry told reporters that at the beginning of this year, in order to regulate the lottery market, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and other departments strengthened the supervision of high-frequency quick-opening games and quiz games, extended the sales time of high-frequency quick-opening games and reduced the number of lottery games.

　　High-frequency fast-opening games mainly complete the process from sales to lottery every few minutes or ten minutes through electronic equipment.

　　The data shows that in 2017, the share of Fucai quick-opening games in the total sales of Fucai reached 40%. In that year, the total sales volume of national welfare lottery was 216.977 billion yuan, of which the sales of quick-opening games was 87.522 billion yuan.

　　A lottery player told reporters: "The number of high-frequency fast-opening games is small, there are many awards, and the lottery is frequent. Many domestic lottery buyers are speculative when buying high-frequency fast-opening games, and some lottery buyers can play all day and easily lose their minds."

　　The reporter noted that in January this year, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the General Administration of Sports issued a notice to adjust the rules of high-frequency fast-opening lottery games and quiz lottery games, and strengthen the supervision of the lottery market. According to the notice, in recent years, China’s lottery industry has generally shown a sustained and healthy development trend. At the same time, there are still irrational lottery buying phenomena in the lottery market, such as unauthorized use of the Internet to sell lottery tickets and large bets. In particular, the market supervision of welfare lottery quick-opening games, sports lottery high-frequency games and sports lottery national online single-game quiz games needs to be strengthened. The notice is clear. From February 11th, if the sales time of high-frequency quick-start games is shorter than 20 minutes, it will be adjusted to 20 minutes.

　　Since 2019, the number of contests and events for the annual quiz game shall not be higher than 70% of the number of contests and events for sale in 2018. The aforementioned experts also pointed out to reporters that the main reason is that there was a World Cup in June 2018. At that time, the sales volume of lottery was particularly large, and the sales volume of sports lottery was also particularly large. However, there were no important sports events in June this year. The sharp decline in sports lottery sales in June was an important factor in the decline in lottery sales in the first half of the year.

　　Ban on sale

　　Internet lottery is banned.

　　The ban on internet lottery sales also has an impact on lottery sales. The reporter noted that in August 2018, the Ministry of Finance and other 12 departments jointly issued a document resolutely prohibiting the unauthorized use of the Internet to sell lottery tickets.

　　Internet lottery had previously shown a blowout growth trend in 2014. The huge sales volume of nearly 100 billion yuan makes internet lottery purchase an important force to promote the development of lottery market.

　　In 2014, Internet lottery experienced a glorious period. Major sports events, including the World Cup in Brazil, boosted the sales of Internet lottery by 102% from 42 billion yuan in 2013 to 85 billion yuan, accounting for 20% of the total lottery sales. According to the Analysis Report of Internet Lottery Market in 2014, there were more than 100 million users in China who bought lottery tickets through Internet channels, and the Internet became an important betting platform and channel for users.

　　Since then, since 2015, the Ministry of Finance and other departments have repeatedly issued a document to prohibit the sale of lottery tickets through Internet channels. However, during the 2018 World Cup, a large number of mobile apps illegally sold lottery tickets through the Internet.

　　At that time, there were many fish that escaped from the net without being investigated. According to media reports, some apps have stopped selling lottery tickets through the search of "lottery tickets" in Android and Apple mobile phone stores, but there are still many softwares that can buy lottery tickets. In the early days of the World Cup last year, many companies launched online lottery platforms again. Finally, many online football lottery platforms such as "Winning the lottery every day" and "Everyone Winning the lottery" stopped selling on June 20 last year.

　　reform

　　Standardize the management of welfare lottery issuance

　　The corruption case of Fucai Center exposed last year aroused social concern. On November 9, 2018, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection published a heavy article: "Pay equal attention to reduction and suppression, treat both the symptoms and the root causes, rebuild the credibility of Fucai, and the discipline inspection and supervision team stationed in the Ministry of Civil Affairs will promote the formation of a good political ecology from typical cases", with more than 4,000 words, and released confession videos of four former leaders of China Welfare Lottery Issuance Management Center.

　　Statistics show that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, at least 14 people in the civil affairs system have been held accountable for issues related to welfare lottery. Fucai’s anti-corruption has a long time span and a wide range, and has become a case of systematic corruption. In addition to the four leading characters in the confession video published on the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, four members of the party group, including Li Liguo, former Minister of Civil Affairs, Dou Yupei, former head of the discipline inspection team in the Ministry, Qu Shuhui and Chen Chuanshu, former president of the China Aging Association, were held accountable.

　　After the corruption case of Welfare Lottery, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has improved the management system of welfare lottery issuance, sales, distribution and use of public welfare funds, such as changes in the internal institutions in charge of welfare lottery management.

　　According to the Regulations of the Ministry of Civil Affairs on Functional Allocation, Internal Organizations and Staffing, before the reform, the management of welfare lottery was in charge of the Department of Social Welfare and Charity Promotion; After the reform, the welfare lottery management has been refined, and the planning and finance department and the newly established charity promotion and social work department are in charge.

　　On July 29, the Ministry of Civil Affairs held a press conference, and the relevant person in charge introduced that there are three main reform directions in regulating the issuance and management of welfare lottery tickets. First, cooperate with the Ministry of Finance, comprehensively rectify the unauthorized use of the Internet to sell welfare lottery tickets, and comprehensively carry out self-examination and inspection of national welfare lottery institutions and consignment agents. Second, vigorously adjust the rules of the quick opening game of welfare lottery to resolve the market risks of welfare lottery. The third is to improve the welfare lottery issuance management system.
