Sudden! Musk, respond urgently!

The latest news of the situation in Russia and Ukraine has attracted the attention of all parties.

On February 12, the Global Times quoted the US Wall Street Journal as reporting on February 11 that the General Intelligence Department of the Ukrainian Ministry of National Defense said on the same day that the Russian army was using the "Star Chain" system developed by SpaceX on a large scale at the front line. In response, SpaceX CEO Musk responded urgently, "Some false news said that SpaceX is selling’ Star Chain’ terminals to Russia. This is absolutely wrong. "

On February 12th, local time, the Kremlin responded that elon musk’s "Star Link" satellite Internet system was neither certified for use in Russia nor officially supplied to Russia, so it could not be used.

At present, Musk’s "Star Chain" business is welcoming a big outbreak. According to a source quoted by Bloomberg, it is estimated that SpaceX’s sales in 2024 will increase to about 15 billion US dollars, in which the sales of "Star Chain" business will exceed the launch business, and the number of users of satellite Internet service will exceed 40 million by 2025. SpaceX’s annual income can reach 30 billion US dollars, and the "Star Chain" project will become the most profitable business.

Musk responded urgently.

On February 12, the Global Times quoted the American Wall Street Journal as reporting on February 11 that the General Intelligence Bureau of the Ukrainian Ministry of National Defense said on the same day that the Russian army was using the "Star Chain" system developed by SpaceX on a large scale near the front line of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, which might weaken a major battlefield advantage of the Ukrainian army.

According to the report, by using the "star chain" system, Ukrainian frontline troops can communicate safely with Internet applications, so that they can keep in touch without relying on mobile phones or radio signals that are more easily monitored by Russian troops.

Andrei Yusov, spokesman for the General Intelligence Department of Ukraine’s Ministry of National Defense, said that Russian troops are "systematically" using "Star Chain" terminals, which are used by Russian 83rd Air Assault Brigade and other troops, which are fighting near the towns of Cris Chivka and Andrevka in Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine.

The statement did not mention how the Russian army obtained these terminals, for example, whether they were purchased from abroad or seized from the Ukrainian army.

This is the first time Ukraine has issued an official statement on Russia’s alleged use of the Star Chain.

Later on December 11, local time, SpaceX CEO Musk responded urgently.

Musk responded that "some false news said that SpaceX is selling’ Star Chain’ terminals to Russia. This is absolutely wrong. "

Musk wrote on the social platform X: "As far as we know, no’ Star Chain’ terminal is directly or indirectly sold to Russia."

On February 12th, local time, the Kremlin also responded that elon musk’s "Star Link" satellite Internet system was neither certified for use in Russia nor officially supplied to Russia, so it could not be used.

Kremlin spokesman dmitry Peskov said in an interview: "This is not our certified system; Therefore, it cannot be officially supplied here, nor is it officially supplied. Therefore, it cannot be officially used in any way. "

Frequently involved in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict

The Global Times quoted The Wall Street Journal as saying that SpaceX had issued a statement on social platform X on February 8, local time, saying that the "Star Chain" satellite service could not be used in Russia, but did not explain whether this service could be used on the Russian-controlled side of the Russian-Ukrainian front line.

A SpaceX spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment on the 11th.

The report pointed out that although the "Star Chain" terminal could not be purchased in Russia, Ukrainian media reported that the Russian army had purchased the equipment in a third country and brought it to the front. In addition, the Russian army may have seized the "star chain" terminal from the Ukrainian army, so that it can access the "star chain" network. Although SpaceX has the ability to track the "Star Chain" users in a specific geographical location, it may be difficult for the company to determine whether the users are Russian or Ukrainian, especially in front-line areas.

The Wall Street Journal said that since Musk decided to provide "Star Chain" service for Ukraine after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the use of the "Star Chain" system has always been a politically charged issue.

According to the report, the "Star Chain" system is considered to be crucial to the actions of the Ukrainian army, so that when SpaceX said that it could no longer provide access funds for Uzbekistan in 2023, the US Department of Defense and other Ukrainian supporters were forced to agree to pay the fees to maintain the operation of the service.

In September 2023, Musk said that in the early days of the conflict, he rejected Ukraine’s request to start the "Star Chain" service near Sevastopol, Crimea, in order to avoid SpaceX’s direct involvement in Uzbekistan’s plan to attack Russian ships.

Gwen Shotwell, president of SpaceX, said at a meeting earlier that SpaceX had taken measures to restrict the use of the "Star Chain" system in Ukrainian military operations. She said at the time that the company did not intend to make the "star chain" a weapon.

"Star Chain" Outbreak

SpaceX is a space exploration technology company owned by Musk. Its main business includes orbital rocket launch, manned space flight and satellite Internet service. The satellite Internet service is the star chain service, which aims to provide high-speed Internet connection for users around the world through satellite network.

According to Bloomberg, which previously quoted people familiar with the matter, SpaceX’s revenue from rocket launch and starlink business in 2023 is estimated to be about 9 billion US dollars, and its sales are expected to increase to about 15 billion US dollars in 2024.

According to the report, it is estimated that the sales of "Star Chain" business will exceed the launch business in 2024, which will account for most of SpaceX’s total revenue. By 2025, the number of users of satellite Internet services will exceed 40 million, and SpaceX’s annual revenue will reach 30 billion US dollars. The "Star Chain" project will become the most profitable "Golden Bull" business.

Musk has been trying to use the "Star Chain" business unit as an important source of income to fund SpaceX’s capital-intensive projects.

It is reported that "Star Chain" is a low-orbit Internet constellation plan proposed by SpaceX in 2014, with the goal of building a space-based communication system with global coverage, large capacity and low delay, and providing high-speed Internet services on a global scale.

Statistics show that by the end of 2023, "Star Chain" has been applied in 65 countries, serving over 2.3 million users, an increase of over 1.3 million.

According to the latest report of Cloudflare, a network infrastructure company, compared with 2022, American traffic from "Star Chain" increased by more than 150% in 2023.

From a global perspective, according to the statistics of Cloudflare, the internet traffic in the world increased by 25% in 2023, while the traffic of "Star Chain" was twice as much as this data.

It is worth mentioning that in the past year, Musk has strengthened in-depth cooperation with the US military. The most striking thing is that SpaceX has specially created a service product called "Star Shield" for the US military, and in view of the good performance of "Star Chain" on the battlefield in Ukraine, the US Department of Defense also awarded SpaceX a contract worth 70 million US dollars in September 2023.

According to the contract, the Star Shield network will provide end-to-end services for the military through the Star Chain constellation, user terminals, auxiliary equipment, network management and other related services, and on the basis of the Star Chain data encryption service, the Star Shield has been added with additional encryption technology to ensure the security of data processing of the hosted payload, and SpaceX has become the first provider to provide low-earth orbit satellite services for the US military.

Russia calmly responded to the IOC’s "ban"

  On the 5th, the International Olympic Committee banned the Russian delegation from participating in the Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, scheduled for February next year, citing Russia’s "systematic manipulation of anti-doping work", but allowed qualified Russian athletes to participate as neutral athletes.

  Russia strongly opposes this decision of the International Olympic Committee, believing that there is a "political motive" behind it, but it is not eager to fight back and start reflection at the same time. Russian President Vladimir Putin said on the 6th that Russia will not boycott the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, nor will it prevent its athletes from participating in a neutral capacity.

  [Against multiple sanctions]

  Thomas bach, president of the International Olympic Committee, decided that the systematic use of stimulants by Russian athletes was "unprecedented destruction" to the Olympic spirit. Russia’s Kommersant reported that the International Olympic Committee suspended the membership of the Russian Olympic Committee and imposed a fine of about $15 million. It also imposed sanctions on a series of Russian sports officials, including banning Russian Deputy Prime Minister and former sports minister Vitaly Mutko from participating in future Olympic-related activities for life and suspending the membership of Russian Olympic Committee President Alexander zhukov in the International Olympic Committee.

  Russia strongly opposes the decision of the International Olympic Committee. Zhukov said that this is an insult to every Russian athlete. Franz Kline-Cevic, first vice-chairman of the National Defense and Security Committee of the Russian Federation Council and the upper house of parliament, said that sports has long been one of the important areas of international relations. The IOC’s move is aimed at isolating Russia, which will not only deal a heavy blow to the Olympic movement, but also to international relations and even world security.

  Maria Zacharova, a spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, said that the decision of the International Olympic Committee made all Russian athletes very sad. "The international community did not expect Russia to rise again as a sports power. The world war, the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and sanctions against Russia have not killed Russia, and Russia cannot be killed under any circumstances. "

  The Russian doping incident began with a documentary broadcast by ARD TV in Germany in 2014, which claimed that doping was rampant in Russian track and field. Dick pound, then president of the World Anti-Doping Agency, then launched an investigation and released the results in November of the following year, saying that Russian track and field circles used banned drugs "systematically".

  The independent committee appointed by the World Anti-Doping Agency issued reports in July and December 2016, and found that the Russian government manipulated doping inspection, and thousands of athletes were suspected of taking stimulants in the past five years. As a result, Russian track and field athletes lost the qualification to participate in the Rio Olympic Games in the same year, and the Russian delegation was banned from participating in the Rio Paralympic Games.

  [Condemning political motives]

  Bach stressed that the decision of the International Olympic Committee was not mixed with any political factors. Putin believes that this decision "looks completely like being directed and has political motives."

  Sergei Mikheyev, a Russian political commentator and former director of the Center for Political Situation Analysis, believes that the decision of the International Olympic Committee was politically motivated from the beginning. The doping storm will intensify before the Russian presidential election in March next year, with the purpose of destroying Putin’s image, dividing and disintegrating Russian society to the greatest extent and injecting negative emotions into Russia.

  Mikheyev said that athletes use stimulants in many countries, but they have never encountered such severe collective sanctions. According to him, the World Anti-Doping Agency’s conclusive evidence about the doping incident in Russia only comes from the words of grigori Rodchenkov, the former director of the Moscow and Sochi Doping Testing Laboratory, in an interview in the United States. The so-called Russian government’s doping project is nonsense.

  CBS and The New York Times broke the news in May last year. In an interview with these two media, Rodchenkov identified Russian athletes’ doping as "government behavior".

  Mikheyev said that this decision shows that the IOC succumbs to political pressure and can easily become a "political victim". The punishment of the International Olympic Committee is one of the means for the West to contain Russia. Western economic and financial sanctions against Russia, political, military and online suppression of Russia, and so on, are a set of overall strategies.

  [Reflecting on coping style]

  Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for the Kremlin, said on the 6th that the decision of the International Olympic Committee should not be emotional and needs to be studied in depth. Vyacheslav volodin, chairman of the Russian State Duma and speaker of the lower house of parliament, has ordered to study the decision of the International Olympic Committee.

  Mikheyev believes that Russia will not take boycott measures against the International Olympic Committee. On the contrary, Russia will find some compromise ways to make itself neither weak nor tough and isolated.

  He said that if Russia could enter the leadership of the World Anti-Doping Agency and strengthen its position in the International Olympic Committee, it would not have to accept the rules of the game imposed by western countries, and it would not have suffered today.

  Mikheyev said that Russia should reflect on this incident. First, it should resolutely put an end to doping. Secondly, it can consider creating alternative mechanisms while defending its own rights, such as creating a new brand of sports events.

  He said that the global governance system established by western countries aims to maintain the dominant position of the West and will not consider the interests of other countries. This incident is one of the cases in which the West has effectively used its global governance system, and it has also sounded the alarm for other countries. Countries should use all feasible means to defend their rights in the international system, and should gradually establish alternatives to the global governance system, so that western countries will lose the opportunity to exert pressure.

  [Free to participate independently]

  South Korea’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism issued a statement on the 7th, expressing regret that the International Olympic Committee banned Russia from participating in the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, and hoped that Russian players would participate in the competition in their personal capacity. The statement said that the participation of winter sports athletes from all over the world, including Russian athletes, is the key to the success of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics and the most important factor in practicing the Olympic spirit.

  IOC President Bach said that while imposing sanctions, the IOC should draw a clear line to protect those innocent Russian athletes. The International Olympic Committee will invite qualified Russian athletes to participate in the competition. They will be called "Olympic athletes from Russia", and the invitation list will be determined after strict examination by a committee.

  Russian President Vladimir Putin said on the 6th that the Olympic Games is very important for athletes. "If Russian athletes decide to participate in the competition in their personal capacity, we will not make any obstruction.".

  Some athletes now hope to receive an invitation letter from the International Olympic Committee. Russian media speculated that a number of Russian heavyweight winter athletes, including figure skater Evgeniya Medvedeva and skier Sergei Ustyugov, were expected to be invited. They were younger, had no previous doping scandals and had no criminal record of using illegal drugs.

  However, if they qualify for the competition, they must wear the competition clothes with the title of "Olympic athletes from Russia", which does not represent Russia. The Russian flag and national anthem will not appear at any ceremony, but the Olympic flag will be raised and the Olympic anthem will be played. (An Xiaomeng) (special feature of Xinhua News Agency)

  "Clean" athletes who missed the PyeongChang Winter Olympics from the Russian delegation can be invited to participate.

Rene Liu Cheren has a full perspective on the back of her skirt and a round figure, denying that she is pregnant.

  BEIJING, Nov. 11 (Xinhua) Hong Kong’s Ming Pao reported that Rene Liu (milk tea) attended a watch event in Hong Kong yesterday as a global spokesperson. She went into battle in a vacuum and appeared in a black dress with a full perspective back. Yesterday, the reporter saw that her waistline was very round. When she went up and down the stairs in high heels, she was immediately assisted by several assistants, and the battle was very big. However, Rene Liu denied pregnancy again yesterday, and even stamped her foot and said, "No (pregnant)! Look at me wearing such high heels! "

  Rene Liu said that he had arrived in Hong Kong a few days ago to attend a seminar on independent films with Zhang Aijia. She also laughed and said that before she became a watch spokesperson, she was also very punctual. "I will send watches to people around me, and my father and friends will also benefit." Ask her if she gave her husband Zhong Xiaojiang a watch? Although she didn’t want to talk more about her husband, she couldn’t help smiling and saying, "No, but the brand sent us a pair of watches."

  Putin then accepted an interview with the program. When asked how much working time he would devote to special military operations, Putin said, "Of course, I give priority to this matter, and the working day begins with it and ends with it."

  Putin said that he has been keeping in touch with the Russian military industry system to understand what shortcomings still exist in meeting the needs of special military operations and how to increase efforts in this regard.

  In addition, the host also asked Putin, if something very important happens, how does the head of state handle it?

  Putin replied, "I have been sleeping very late recently. Of course, I have to keep in touch all the time."

Pragmatic Debate Chery Ariza 5 vs Geely Emgrand

  [Model PK] In the "just-needed" car purchase demand, the compact family car will definitely not be forgotten, and the compact car launched by China brand in recent years will attract people’s attention with its good appearance and price advantage. And Geely are the representatives of this category. If you are undecided about which of these two cars to choose, then this article may help you.

Home of the car

  In this paper, we selected the Arrizo 5 "2016 1.5L manual version" (hereinafter referred to as "Arrizo 5") and Emgrand "2016 1.5L manual version" (hereinafter referred to as "Emgrand") as the comparison models, and the official guide prices of these two cars are almost the same, which are 79,900 yuan and 79,800 yuan respectively. However, there will be a big difference in terminal discounts. Take buying a new car as an example. At present, Arrizo 5 has almost no discount, while Emgrand’s discount can reach 8,500 yuan. So, Emgrand is still more affordable, which may be related to the difference in listing time between the two (Emgrand has a longer listing time). However, can Emgrand, which has a more favorable price, also have the upper hand in the comparison?

Note:When we were doing experience shooting, we didn’t find the Ariza 5 "used for comparison in this paper.2016 1.5L manual collar version"model, so the pictures related to the experience are all"2016 1.5L Automatic Collar Sharp Edition",the difference in experience is only in the back row (the" manual collar version "has the back row central armrest, while the" automatic collar version "does not), please forgive me.

In this paper, compare models Project/model Arrizo 5 2016 1.5L manual collar version Emgrand 2016 sedan 1.5L manual version Guide price (ten thousand yuan) 7.99 7.98 Preferential range (ten thousand yuan)/Beijing as an example No 0.85 Terminal price (ten thousand yuan)/Beijing as an example 7.99 7.13

● Appearance: Ariza 5 is younger and more fashionable.

  Subjectively speaking, the shapes of the two cars can be called "each has its own merits", but objectively speaking, the launch time difference of nearly two years is also an unavoidable reason, so it is reasonable that the Arrizo 5 looks more fashionable. However, there is no certain rule about appearance, so I applaud it if I see it pleasing to the eye.

  Emgrand is equipped with automatic headlight function, which is definitely an equipment that can bring convenience to daily use, especially in the evening when it is just dark, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting to turn on the headlights, which is very beneficial to ensure driving safety.

  The side lines of Arrizo 5 are obviously richer, and the three waistlines are particularly attractive, which can also bring out the feeling of being ready to go at rest. Emgrand is much more stable, especially the position of C-pillar is much thicker than that of Arrizo 5, which makes this sense of stability more and more obvious.

  In many cases, the exterior detail components condense the overall style of a car, and these two cars are no exception. Arrizo 5 rearview mirror and door handle are very round, which can be said to extend the sense of fashion to the details; Emgrand, on the other hand, is much more square, which also echoes the overall more mature body shape.

  Although they are all, the style of Arrizo 5 looks more advanced and textured, and the rims of Emgrand are much more common, which is consistent with the overall style of the two cars. Regarding the specifications of rims, tires and spare tires, Arrizo 5 is also higher. In short, if you are a "rim controller", I can only suggest that you consider Arrizo 5.

◆ Appearance summary:

  Personally, as a post-80s generation, I prefer the shape of Arrizo 5. The full outline, sharp waistline and better-sized and more dynamic rims all make me feel good about it. I also believe that my peers of the same age will prefer Arrizo 5, but what we are talking about today is "pragmatism", so we can only put the appearance in a secondary position. In terms of external configuration, both cars are fairly complete, with keyless entry function, reversing image and rear radar, while the automatic headlights equipped by Emgrand are not available to opponents.

On the left is the fuel consumption, and on the right is the gold displacement model recommendation of the power intermediate car.


Roewe 550


  The displacement of 1.6-2.0L is called the golden displacement of mid-level cars. As the name implies, the so-called golden displacement means that a good balance has been achieved between vehicle power and fuel consumption. When buying a car, the number of users who choose a mid-level car accounts for more than 60% of the whole car market, and their consumption concepts and car purchase needs are also different. Therefore, the purchase of a mid-level car is actually a difficult choice. The power of 2.0L is strong, but the fuel consumption is quite high. The displacement of 1.6L is fuel-efficient but the power can only be said to be sufficient.


  On the left is fuel consumption, and on the right is power, and look at these recommended gold-displacement mid-level cars.


  Sagitar 1.6L manual comfort type


  Displacement: 1.6L


  Expert comment: The power is just enough, and the fuel consumption has an advantage.


  The 1.6L engine is a very suitable match for entry-level cars, but it can’t require too much power for mid-level cars.


  There is no doubt about the performance of PQ35 platform used by sagitar. Although it is not the most advanced platform for Volkswagen, its performance and reliability are quite certain. Sagitar uses a 1.6L 8V gasoline engine with two valves, and the power and torque of 74KW and 145Nm are slightly gentle. However, the reputation of this engine for 20 years of hard work is very worthy of recognition and has won the recognition of many consumers. Sagitar’s 1.6L displacement model is the best one sold in the same series of Sagitar, even surpassing Sagitar’s 1.8T model.


  According to the user’s feedback, the actual comprehensive fuel consumption of Sagitar 1.6L should be around 8L per 100 kilometers, and the fuel economy performance is quite good.


  Focus sedan 1.8AT fashion elite


  Displacement: 1.8L


  Expert comment: excellent power feeling and slightly higher fuel consumption.


  The 1.8L displacement model is the most common engine displacement type in mid-level cars, and the power and fuel consumption can be just right. Fox has a good reputation for its good power and comfortable handling in the 1.8L displacement model.


  Ford Focus adopts an advanced 1.8L Duratec-HE DOHC 16V inverted all-aluminum engine, with the maximum output power of 91.4kW/6000rpm and the maximum output torque of 161Nm/4000rpm. Using VIS variable inertia air intake device, plastic-steel equal-length air intake manifold, single-cylinder independent ignition system and other technologies, it is lighter and more efficient, and can output extremely high torque at low speed, thus providing excellent power performance.


  1.8L Focus has become the first choice for cost-effective sports cars with its excellent chassis skills. However, Fox’s fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is around 10-11L (depending on MT or AT), which can only be said to be mediocre.


  Roewe 550 1.8T sharp edition


  Displacement: 1.8L


  Expert comment: Strong power and low fuel consumption.


  Roewe 550 is the latest mid-level car with 1.8T turbocharged engine after Sagitar, Ming Rui and Junjie. Compared with several "predecessors", the Roewe 550′ s huge body and abundant internal space are the biggest advantages.


  The first five models launched by Roewe 550 are all equipped with Kavachi 1.8T engine with all-aluminum cylinder. This all-aluminum 1.8T engine was used on Roewe 750 earlier, and its performance and quality have been fully recognized by the market and consumers within half a year. The peak power of 118Kw and the peak torque of 215Nm have obvious advantages compared with the naturally aspirated engine of the same class. Equipped with Tiptronic 5-speed automatic manual transmission with paddle shifting system, driving pleasure far exceeds that of the same class.


  It is also commendable that the actual fuel consumption of this 1.8T engine is about 10-11L per 100 kilometers, which is slightly superior to the 1.8T engine of the same grade.


  Mazda 3 2.0L automatic standard type


  Displacement: 2.0L


  Expert comment: excellent power and low fuel consumption.


  Many people in the industry believe that the most standard gold displacement is 2.0L displacement. However, it is interesting that the number of models with 2.0L engines in the current mid-level car market is decreasing. 1.6L, 1.8L and 1.8T engines are more popular.


  Mazda 3 has always been the biggest selling point to attract consumers with its gorgeous appearance and exquisite interior, but the power of Mazda 3 is also remarkable. Its latest MZR2.3L engine is equipped with S-VT (Variable Valve Timing Control System), VIS (Variable Intake Manifold System) and VTCS (Variable Vortex Control System) for the first time, which makes the engine have a peak power of 110Kw and a peak torque of 182Nm. In the same 2.0L displacement engine, Ma 3 has certain advantages in technology and actual performance.


  Of course, the fuel-saving characteristics of Japanese cars have also been continued on Ma 3. The comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is about 8-9L. Although Ma 3 is only equipped with a 4-speed automatic manual transmission, it has no technical advantage, but the excellent adjustment still adds a lot of color to Ma 3′ s fuel consumption index.

Musk is responsible for "painting cakes" and he built Tesla cars.

Tesla Chief Designer holz Hausen

Fenghuang net technology Xiaoyu

Core tip:

1. As the chief designer of Tesla, holz Hausen wants to turn Musk’s vague idea into a real car.

2. He is good at combining minimalist and technologically avant-garde interior with modern appearance, such as retractable door handles or panoramic glass skylights.

3. Cyberruck’s design violated holz Hausen’s aesthetic style, but moved Musk.

4. holz Hausen’s next major test will be to design more affordable Tesla models.

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, once told his chief designer that he wanted to build an electric pickup truck with good driving power and a closed container, which "feels like the future".

This task falls to Franz von Holzhausen, who wants to read the boss’s meaning.

"My job is to simplify things and explain his words clearly."Holz Hausen said in an interview recently.

Holz Hausen, 55, is a veteran who has worked in Tesla for 15 years. He is one of the most senior executives of Tesla and has led the design of almost all Tesla models. In 2008, Musk dug holz Hausen from Mazda to Tesla.From the first day, he reported directly to Musk, longer than anyone else in Tesla.

Over the years, his designs have combined minimalist and technologically avant-garde interiors with modern appearances, which has made him famous, such as retractable door handles or panoramic glass skylights. His design further proves that electric cars are not only more beneficial to the environment, but also cool and enterprising.

Now, holz Hausen is facing the next major test:Tesla is preparing to launch a more affordable electric car in order to enhance the company’s appeal in the mass market and target buyers with more tight budgets.At present, the starting price of Tesla cars in the United States is about $39,000.

Founder of Cybertruck

As the chief design officer of Tesla, holz Hausen wants to translate Musk’s sometimes vague ideas into actual car lines, surfaces and contours.

Cybertruck

Cybertruck is an example. This pickup truck with hard edges and flat stainless steel panels is an extreme design. It deviated from the design concept of holz Hausen, whose early works focused on curves and smooth lines.

"Most designers find it hard to believe that this car is really designed by holz Hausen, because it is really not his aesthetic style." J Mays, a senior car designer, said that he worked with holz Hausen in the 1990s.

According to people involved in the research and development of Cyberruck, the development of Cyberruck has been full of twists and turns until 2019.

Dave Dave Morris, holz Hausen’s long-term deputy at Tesla, said that Musk’s words were sometimes "elusive" and holz Hausen had to make some deeper explanations.

"Musk is hot and cold. One day, he will grab an idea and push it in one direction, then we will sort it out, and then he will say, ah, this is not what I want. " Holz Hausen recalled.

In the midsummer of that year, holz Hausen took a chance and made a final effort. He drew a truck with a triangular outline, which is different from the truck that his team has been showing to Musk.

As a result, this idea resonated with Musk.

According to those who have worked with holz Hausen, he is decisive, not easily flustered, and willing to accept new ideas. These qualities have helped him to establish a close relationship with Musk, and he is comfortable in a company with a high turnover rate of executives.

Before and after lunch time, he often leads people to exercise in a parking lot behind Tesla’s Los Angeles design studio. This activity was initiated by a CrossFit coach a few years ago, and later evolved into what some people call "FranzFit" (named after holz Hausen).

"I don’t like losing. Maybe this is a good way to vent. "Holz Hausen said when talking about exercise.

I was inseparable from Musk.

When Musk was able to persuade holz Hausen to leave Mazda, he promised to fulfill Tesla’s mission, that is, to accelerate the transformation of the automobile industry to electrification and get rid of its dependence on oil and natural gas.

Holz Hausen now manages a team of about 300 employees, including designers and sculptors who are responsible for converting 2D images into clay models. Most of them work in the design studio in the Los Angeles area, which is an open office located in a modified hangar next to the SpaceX headquarters of Musk’s rocket company.

Musk and holz Hausen

For many years, Musk went to holz Hausen’s office almost every Friday to review the latest ideas of the team. Today, the number of visits by Musk has decreased, because he now has to manage more companies and Tesla’s headquarters has moved to Texas.

Holz Hausen said that Musk was still "deeply involved" in Tesla’s design process.Sometimes, Musk sends the ideas he saw on X to holz Hausen. Holz Hausen prefers to discuss design ideas face to face, and he will try to find Musk to discuss with him face to face.

Sketch a car at the age of two.

Holz Hausen grew up in Hartford, Connecticut. His father, Frank von holz, an industrial designer, said that his son started painting at an early age and drew a sketch of his first car at the age of two.

In 1992, holz Hausen joined the design team of Volkswagen after graduating from art center college of design, a suburb of Los Angeles. As a junior designer of Volkswagen, he was selected to help design the concept car of Volkswagen, which eventually became an improved version of Volkswagen’s iconic model Beetle, with a more rounded shape.

Later, he joined General Motors, where he met his wife, Vicki, a car designer. The pair collaborated to design the curvy Pontiac Solstice car. Holz Hausen focuses on exterior design, while Vicky focuses on interior. This two-seater car won the annual design award of Automobile Magazine in 2006. Currently, they live in the Los Angeles area and have two sons.

Pontiac Solstice designed by holz Hausen in cooperation with his wife.

After leaving GM, holz Hausen joined Mazda to lead the California studio. Laurens van den Acker, a former design director of Mazda, said that Mazda California Studio led by holz Hausen has won a reputation for being good at handling challenging tasks.

There, holz Hausen designed a series of concept cars, inspired by the movement of nature. These models are designed to show Mazda’s design trajectory.

"They are people who want to join new projects and like to face difficulties." Ake said.

Holz Hausen's Early Design Works Model S

In the eyes of outsiders, holz Hausen’s famous work may be the Cybertruck conference in 2019. At that time, to show Cybertruck’s tenacity, holz Hausen smashed a metal ball into the window of a prototype car. As a result, the window was smashed.

In Tesla’s office, he took a pen and paper to solve design problems, wrote down his ideas on pieces of paper, and then put them on the conference room or someone else’s desk for inspiration.

Like many Tesla employees, he often wears a black T-shirt, which is his work clothes. Holz Hausen is also famous for changing Musk’s mind.

For example, according to the autobiography of Musk published by Walter Isaacson, holz Hausen was one of the people who persuaded Musk to restart the plan of low-cost electric vehicles. The plan will expand Tesla’s influence to the mass market. At that time, Musk had been focusing on making a fully autonomous self-driving taxi without steering wheel and pedals.

Recently, holz Hausen stopped by a car while walking in petersen automotive museum.He said that this car inspired him when he thought about Tesla’s future car.

Holz Hausen sits next to Rolls-Royce Phantom 1.

This is a 1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe. It has been customized, with a huge diving fender and an iconic round door, which opens to reveal a red interior. Holz Hausen marveled at the sense of movement conveyed by this car. "It feels like being stretched by the wind".

He compared Tesla’s upcoming affordable car with Volkswagen’s Beetle or Ford’s Model T and called it "a product for the public".But simple and not simple, it will also "feel like a continuation of future ideas."

Make unremitting efforts to realize the modernization of all countries in the world

  Building the "Belt and Road" is not only a major measure for China to expand its opening up, but also a Chinese plan to solve global development problems, aiming at promoting the common modernization of all countries.

  Only by carrying forward the spirit of partnership, not forgetting the initial intention of cooperation and moving forward unswervingly can we work together to realize the world modernization of peaceful development, mutually beneficial cooperation and common prosperity.

  Not long ago, the "One Belt, One Road" Entrepreneur Conference was successfully held, and the grand occasion of business representatives from various countries queuing to sign contracts was widely spread on social media. From entrepreneurs’ conference to three high-level forums on interconnection, digital economy and green development, and then to special forums such as smooth trade, maritime cooperation and clean silk road … … During the third "Belt and Road" international cooperation summit forum, all parties reached a total of 89 multilateral cooperation outcome documents and 369 pragmatic cooperation projects, which injected strong momentum into the modernization of all countries.

  Modernization is not the "exclusive product" of a few countries, nor is it an "alternative choice". Realizing modernization is the common expectation of people all over the world, and it is also a right. At the opening ceremony of the third "Belt and Road" international cooperation summit forum, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader stressed: "China is willing to deepen ‘ Belt and Road ’ Partnership to promote co-construction ‘ Belt and Road ’ Enter a new stage of high-quality development and make unremitting efforts to realize the modernization of all countries in the world. "

  Today, China is promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese modernization. Chinese-style modernization is a modernization with a huge population, the common prosperity of all people, the coordination of material civilization and spiritual civilization, the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, and the path of peaceful development. The revival pursued by the Chinese nation is carried out under the background of world modernization, which not only aims to realize the prosperity of the country, but also promotes the development and progress of human civilization in this historical process. Facts have fully proved that building the "Belt and Road" is not only a major measure for China to open wider to the outside world, but also a Chinese plan to solve the global development problems, aiming at promoting countries to move towards modernization together.

  In the past 10 years, the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" has helped many developing countries accelerate the pace of modernization. In Africa, the Inner Mongolia Railway and the Yaji Railway have been opened to traffic, which has become an important channel to promote the in-depth development of East Africa and even the whole African country. In Argentina, the Gauchary photovoltaic power station project was officially connected to the grid to generate electricity, which optimized the local energy structure and helped the local economy to develop sustainably. In Thailand, engineers trained by Luban Workshop are very busy on the production line of Luo Yong Industrial Park in Thailand. In Uzbekistan, the irrigation channel restoration project in Bustam was completed, which solved the irrigation problem of more than 100,000 hectares of farmland … … From a large number of infrastructure construction projects that activate the national development momentum, to many industrial cooperation projects that enhance the national poverty reduction capacity through "giving people the opportunity to fish", and then to the popular support project to enhance the people’s livelihood and well-being, the "Belt and Road" initiative has helped developing countries break the development bottleneck and made China contributions to the common modernization of all countries.

  Development together is the real development. The Chairman of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "What we are pursuing is not the modernization of China, but we are looking forward to working with other countries, including developing countries, to realize modernization together." Opening a new stage of high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road" is of great significance for leading international cooperation and global development under the new situation. Building a three-dimensional interconnected network of the Belt and Road, supporting the construction of an open world economy, carrying out pragmatic cooperation, promoting green development, promoting scientific and technological innovation, supporting people-to-people exchanges, building a clean road, and improving the international cooperation mechanism of the Belt and Road. The eight actions announced by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader that China supports the high-quality construction of the Belt and Road are pragmatic measures to promote the modernization of all countries in the world. Starting from a new historical starting point, building the "Belt and Road" will be more innovative and dynamic, more open and inclusive, and open a new window of opportunity for China and the world. By building the "Belt and Road" with high quality, the development experience of Chinese modernization will continue to provide useful reference for building the country.

  Realizing modernization is the common cause of all mankind. At present, the changes of the world, the times and the history are unfolding in an unprecedented way, the foreseeable and unpredictable risks in the world have increased significantly, and mankind is facing unprecedented challenges. Bridging differences through dialogue, opposing separatism through unity, promoting development through cooperation, and building the "Belt and Road" are becoming more and more significant, and the prospects are worth looking forward to. Looking to the future, we should adhere to openness and tolerance, transcend the barriers between civilizations through civilized exchanges, and promote tolerance and mutual learning among civilizations; Insist on discussing, building and sharing, and strive to build a global interconnection partnership; Promote common development and constantly explore the "happiness road" that benefits all countries and the world. No matter in prosperity or adversity, no matter whether there are smooth roads or thorns ahead, only by carrying forward the spirit of partnership, not forgetting the initial intention of cooperation and moving forward unswervingly can we work together to realize the world modernization of peaceful development, mutually beneficial cooperation and common prosperity.

  Carry forward the past, overcome difficulties and forge ahead bravely. We will certainly be able to write a new chapter in the Silk Road era in which countries are mutually beneficial and win-win, people know each other and learn from each other’s civilizations, and create a bright future for all countries to move towards modernization together.
