Audi Q5 and Quattro with the reputation of four-wheel drive test.

  Foreword: Perhaps it is our personality. When more than ten people stand in front of these eight cars, everyone’s excitement is self-evident. On the other hand, these SUVs, which respectively represent the so-called American, European and Japanese styles, occupy a completely different position in the hearts of every editor. Although it can be seen from everyone’s expressions that this is definitely an enjoyable test, we still want to emphasize here that the focus of this test is on each four-wheel drive system. Emphasis on the systematic characteristics of highway performance, fashionable appearance and load-bearing body, obviously they are not hard-core representatives in cross-country fans, but they are ideal choices closer to urban people.

Review points in the past (click on the thumbnail to read directly)

  Through the performance of each car on the spot, we have reason to refuse all kinds of paper talks, because many results will be beyond your expectation. Let’s take the lead in this test — — Audi Q5 2.0T limited edition sports edition and the famous quattro four-wheel drive system. Audi Q5 2.0T limited edition sports edition has a dynamic appearance and no cross-country style at all. The forward front axle not only makes it look much leaner than the elder brother Q7, but more importantly, the front suspension of Q5 is designed to be shorter than that of many opponents, which will bring it a larger approach angle.

Aika car network pictures

  In the field test, you will find that "whether the wheel suspension system can effectively lock and distribute power reasonably" is another story, provided that you can drive up the slope first. Although this sounds a bit ridiculous, it is indeed a very important prerequisite for "outdoor sports". Generally speaking, the slightly sedan Q5 front bumper is visually heavy, but there is no problem in entering the venue smoothly. If there’s no problem, take the rough road first!

Audi Q5

  Speaking of which, we need to look at the parameters of Q5′ s height from the ground. According to the data, the minimum ground clearance of Q5 is 185mm, which is not particularly small, so we have to assume that its wheelbase has somewhat dragged down its hind legs. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Originally, due to the long wheelbase and balanced counterweight brought by the forward movement of the front axle, Q5 suffered a little loss here. Finally, another colleague, under the command of the people outside the car, barely passed the area by taking the wheel on one side first. However, we can clearly see from the photos that the space left in the chassis is also very small.

Q5 actually passed the performance test.


 

  “quattro”— — It may be the first instinct of many people to hear the four-wheel drive system. Of course, I don’t think it is necessary to talk about the origin of "quattro" or anything else here. The actual performance of the system itself on the imported Audi Q5 is the most important. Compared with rough roads, I wonder if these test vehicles, if they have life, will be a little scared to look at such a high cross-axis road? To tell the truth, such a harsh road surface is not suitable for these city SUVs with load-bearing bodies to challenge, but in order to clearly present the working state of their four-wheel drive system, the cross axle is today’s "compulsory subject". 

 

__________________________________________________________________________________

  Cross axis:In the previous test project mainly aimed at hard-core off-road vehicles, because the wheels will be off the ground when the wheels on both sides are in different height drop positions, the way of power distribution of the four-wheel drive system of the vehicle can be clearly seen at this time, and the electronic system carried by the vehicle can be triggered to test whether the electronic system of this kind of urban SUV can play an obvious role.

concurrent axis

__________________________________________________________________________________

  Q5′ s performance in the cross-axis project test is not very good, but it is not difficult to pass the project with the reliability of quattro four-wheel drive system. Q5 didn’t expose any defects of quattro four-wheel drive system when starting to cross the axle, and everything of the vehicle remained normal. Only Q5′ s suspension stroke was short, and soon the wheels were suspended. At this time, we found that quattro four-wheel drive system can distribute power to the front and rear axles as required (Torsen differential can distribute 65% power to the front axle or 85% power to the rear axle at most in the limit state).

  When the wheels off the ground idling, Q5′ s electronic system didn’t take any measures to control the idling tires, and of course, it didn’t transmit all the power to the two wheels with grip. From this, we can see that the Audi quattro four-wheel drive system can distribute the power between the front and rear axles in the limit state, but the electronic system is dragging its hind legs. When Q5 chooses the middle route of the cross axle (the route with the smallest difference between the front and rear), it can only barely pass.

 


Cross-axle test Q5 four-wheel power distribution


 

  Then we increased the difficulty and let the vehicle drive on the left side of the big hump. The undulating angle of this road surface is larger and more difficult. At the beginning, Q5′ s performance was relatively stable. However, when the cross-axle wheels were off the ground, Q5′ s electronic auxiliary system still didn’t help us lock the idling wheels. It can also be seen that the electronic system equipped with Q5 for our test drive didn’t have EDL (electronic differential system) function. Facing the big gradient, Q5 relies on Torsen differential to distribute more power to the rear axle with strong grip, but at this time, it needs a big foot throttle to keep the vehicle moving forward, and it is not easy to pass this project.

audi Q5

 

  After "hard work", Audi Q5 still stumbled through this section, and our test driver quickly returned the car to the central area of the cross axle. To sum up, in the whole quattro four-wheel drive system, the Torsen differential still completed its mission, and let the only two wheels push the car up the steep slope with difficulty, but we didn’t see any electronic system coming out to brake the idling wheels, which directly affected the more reasonable distribution of power and led to the Q5′ s performance here being a little ordinary and somewhat unexpected. Let’s review the whole process by video.

Driving on one side of the cross shaft almost stumbles Q5.


  "Can your SUV climb a hill?" This topic seems to be very popular some time ago. In fact, it doesn’t necessarily need a big slope. We use a simpler method to test whether each four-wheel drive system can overcome the slippery slope. We paved a 10-meter-long rubber mulching film on a slope of about 15, and sprinkled a lot of soapy water on it to simulate a slippery road surface. During the test, we put the two wheels on the left side of the vehicle on the plastic film, and the right side still touches the ground normally. The test vehicle climbs the hill only by the driving force of two wheels on one side. Through this test, we can reflect the help of four-wheel drive system to our driving after snow.

Audi Q5

  Q5 performed well in this project. When stepping on the accelerator for about 30% at the start, two hungry tires on the left side of the road slipped slightly, but the ESP system immediately intervened to brake the slipping wheels with ABS, so as to reduce the wheel speed and make the wheels form rolling friction with the ground as much as possible, so as to prevent the wheels from idling and slipping, and make the tires on the wet road give full play to their grip as much as possible. Later, we tried to start at various throttle depths, and the electronic system could intervene to help us in time. After repeated experiments and splashing soapy water many times, Q5 could climb the ramp smoothly without any ambiguity.

  After the ESP electronic system was turned off, we tested it again. At this time, we found that the electronic system of Q5 could not be completely turned off only by the switch on the center console. In an emergency, the electronic stability system will still help us to brake the tires that slip and idle, so that the vehicle can drive up the hill smoothly in this state. It can be seen that Audi’s quattro four-wheel drive system will perform better when all four wheels have grip, and the electronic system will work more actively, which is of great help to the driving performance of the vehicle.

Challenge the 15 slippery slope


 

  You’re welcome to say, when you reach the high-speed pile-piercing area of this flat land, you can really reach the home of Audi Q5. For the Audi Q5, the high-power version of the 2.0T engine is the source of abundant power, which is also a great attraction for editors to compete for driving the Q5. The details such as the Bridgestone tire equipped with model 255/45R20 have become the places we appreciate in the pile-winding test.

Audi Q5

Audi Q5

  Audi’s driving mode option is definitely one of the most worthy configurations, because by choosing three driving modes, you can really get three completely different driving experiences. In the pile-winding test, all options must be adjusted to "dynamic" mode, and the driving computer makes Q5 one of the most interesting SUVs by adjusting the engine, gearbox, steering and suspension system.

Audi Q5

  The change of steering and suspension system is obvious. The steering wheel diameter of Q5 is very small, and the precise steering system in sports mode greatly facilitates the driver’s control. Although the suspension system has been strengthened, it still has a certain tilt when it is around the pile, but it is much more obvious to stand outside the car than to sit in the car. In order to take care of the comfort of daily driving, the initial adjustment of the suspension system is still a little soft, which is also the fundamental source of the tilt. However, that’s all. The solid support in the rear section will never make the roll continue endlessly, so I always challenge for higher speed with confidence when driving the Q5 for the control test.

 

 

 

Audi Q5

  Sensitive power output will affect the smoothness of the control test to a certain extent at this time, because the cooperation between the 2.0T engine hidden in the engine room and the 7-speed powershift is almost flawless, so people have to be careful with the accelerator pedal. Once their actions are deliberately amplified, the tires will slip seriously, resulting in slight understeer. Fortunately, the quattro four-wheel drive system will avoid this situation as soon as possible and correct it through the electronic system.

Aika car network pictures

  Due to the change of the test site, the adhesion of the ground is lower than that of the commonly used test site, which leads to the performance of the tire becoming a short board of the handling test. Bridgestone’s DUELER H/P SPOR series tires are road tires designed as SUVs, rather than high-performance tires. In extreme cases, the grip is not as good as expected, but the power distribution biased towards the rear wheels does make people feel better tracking performance and more flexible vehicle control ability.

 


Experience and final summary of high-speed pile penetration


  Summary: In fact, the ultimate goal of all simple or slightly complicated tests is to tell friends who are interested in this car whether it meets your needs. In today’s test, Q5′ s comprehensive performance is good. Except for the cross axis, it seems that it does not show the function of EDL electronic anti-skid differential lock system, and other aspects have shown a high level. Recently, we will also launch the test results of four-wheel drive systems of several models, such as SRX and XC60, as well as the comparative tests of various models of the same level, so stay tuned!

How does the 2024 BMW i5 compare with Tesla Model S?

Finally, a new electric car has been introduced, but how does it compare with it?

It has long been regarded as the king of medium-sized luxury cars, but in 2024, an electric car, the i5, was introduced. It turned its attention to. The question is, can it really become the most recognized battery-driven car on the market? Let’s have a look.

To put it bluntly, it is cheaper. In the entry version, compared with Tesla’s $82,000, the starting price of the i5 is $69,000. However, on the M60, although it is more expensive than Tesla, BMW’s M performance is incomparable to Tesla.

Imitating Apple is one of the reasons why Tesla’s demand continues to rise. Unlike the conventional DC charging stations available to the public, Tesla has been investing in a powerful network of 3-level super charging stations all over the world. Tesla has higher charging power when charging. The 2023 Model S has a fast charging architecture with standard dual-motor settings, and promises to travel 200 miles within 15 minutes of charging. Therefore, BMW can’t compete with Tesla in charging. The cruising range is between 296 miles and 362 miles.

Driver assistance is all the rage now, and BMW i5 is no stranger to this trend. In fact, in addition to the usual BLIS system and night vision headlights, the i5 is equipped with a lane-changing assistant that is different from anything else on the market. This technology is called an active lane-changing assistant system with eye confirmation function. It uses two sets of cameras-some internal cameras and some external cameras-to automatically drive into the lane without any physical input.

The in-car camera tracks the driver’s eye movement through a set of cameras wedged into the dashboard, and when it detects a gap in the road, it will suggest changing lanes. If you really want to approve this proposal, all you have to do is blink cheekily at the left mirror or the right mirror (depending on the space you want to enter), and then the assistant will take over.

Tesla has long been regarded as a pioneer of this technology. Since the launch of the first Model s in 2014, it has been implementing iterations of autonomous driving software. Now the system has become completely powerful, and can follow the route guidance of going up and down the ramp without any driver’s intervention.

BMW has rolled up its sleeves and transformed the 5 Series, especially in the cab. The previous generation BMW was criticized for the minefield of buttons, selection knobs and touch pads, which made such simple things as volume reduction difficult. For i5, the number of buttons is significantly reduced, and most special functions can only be accessed through the new touch screen. The driver information display screen adopts a curved design similar to a sun visor, which is a 12.3-inch ultra-clear panel and integrated with a 14.9-inch multimedia screen.

Enthusiastic supporters of the Model S Owners Club quickly reminded anyone that cheap interiors are an inevitable by-product of environmental awareness. As far as i5 is concerned, this concept is sheer nonsense. In fact, the i5 and the new 5-series ICE variants represent BMW’s first vegan interior as a standard. Veganza surface reflects the softness of animal leather, and optional perforation and decorative quilting are provided to enhance the seating experience.

The i5 doesn’t lack amazing screens, buttons and gimmicks, but it’s a little sensory overload. Between the daunting shape and figuring out the cabin yourself, you may need to call on sick leave to connect. On the other hand, Model S retains its ergonomic style and is very simple to use.

In 2023, the almost borderless central screen will become horizontal, cut in half, and beautified with a clearer 2200×1300 display. The whole user interface on the first and second rows of screens has the modern practicability of smart phones, and there is no fuss.

In terms of control, there is no dispute that i5 should have the upper hand. Just like every BMW (M or other) that leaves the production workshop, each one has undergone a rigorous test to determine its ability to have sports and comfort characteristics. The handling performance of the i5 is shown as a widened track with horns on both axles-by the way, this is to achieve a nearly perfect 50:50 load distribution.

M60s sports suspension is available in standard i5, which is equivalent to electronically controlled shock absorber, active steering and vertical dynamic management system. To put it simply, the i5 should be able to manage less compliant roads, and the spring coefficient can be reduced during driving, which means excellent handling.

Guangdong police cracked the "pyramid scheme" network fraud case and exposed the "cheats"

  Strange beautiful women add you to WeChat, chat, create ambiguity, become bosom friends, and want to meet you … … In fact, it’s all a routine, cheating on feelings first and then cheating on money. Yesterday, the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department held a "Hurricane No.10" action conference to announce that on June 21, the provincial public security department organized more than 1,800 police officers to launch a network-closing operation, destroying 70 mega-pyramid-style online dating fraud dens and online gambling dens, arresting 543 suspects of telecommunication network fraud and online gambling, freezing nearly 1,000 bank accounts involved, and seizing and freezing about 100 million yuan of illegal money.

  Text/Guangzhou Daily reporter Li Dong, Lu Wenjie, Yang Yang

  Correspondents Ceng Xianglong, Guo Jiaming and Xu Pei.

  On April 15, 2016, Shenzhen police received an alarm from a 32-year-old male victim, Zhao, saying that he had encountered a scam while chatting online, and he was defrauded of 8,700 yuan in just ten days.

  "Beauty" actively "falls in love" with you.

  Zhao said that one day, a strange beauty suddenly took the initiative to add her as a WeChat friend. After chatting, they hit it off and chatted happily with their real names. For example, we greet each other when we get up every morning, and we will be caring and attentive when we sleep at night. I talked about it for about a week, and the other party wanted to determine the relationship with Zhao.

  One day, when chatting, a beautiful woman said that she was in a taxi and suddenly had acute appendicitis, so she had to go to the hospital for surgery immediately. Since she didn’t bring much money when she went out, she asked Zhao if she could borrow some money for emergency. At this time, the taxi driver also answered the phone, "confirmed" that there was indeed a woman in the car who suddenly became ill, and then enthusiastically sent it to the hospital. Zhao believed it and hit more than 2,000 yuan. After two days, the beauty who finished the operation returned Zhao two or three hundred yuan, saying that it was the cost of the operation that was not used up. Zhao was more convinced of the beauty.

  Then, the beauty borrowed money from Zhao on the grounds that the operation was not perfect enough and the later physical recovery needed nutrition. Out of concern, Zhao proposed to visit the hospital, but the beauty immediately refused, and later she couldn’t be contacted. Later, Zhao’s WeChat was blacked out, and he woke up: the beauty is a liar!

  In fact, the "beauty" chatting with Zhao’s WeChat was a man. When the phone was contacted, it was answered by a female member of the gang. The taxi driver was also posing as a member of the gang. The gang of three men and three women took turns to play various roles and talked with Zhao for ten days.

  On June 21, the task force decisively closed the net, and the police smashed 20 online dating fraud dens in Humen and Houjie in Dongguan. Up to now, 82 suspects, led by Li Mou, Zhang Mou (female) and Chen Mou, have been criminally detained, and 103 victims have been initially verified.

  The ticket medical records are all PS

  The same "affair" story also happened in Dongguan. In February 2016, another victim, Zhao, who worked in Dongguan, met a netizen who claimed to be a "beauty" in Guangxi through QQ. The two had been chatting with QQ for a few months and gradually developed feelings. "Beauty" said that her mother was ill, and the family needed money urgently, so she borrowed money from Zhao. After Zhao paid the money, "Beauty" gratefully said "You are a good man" and then offered to come to Dongguan to meet him.

  Zhao did not hesitate to remit the fare, and the "beauty" also showed him the ticket he bought (in fact, the ticket was PS), and Zhao was full of expectations. The next day, the "beauty" in the car suddenly fell ill and had to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. In the process, a "conductor" and a "doctor" came out to confirm this situation, and the "medical record" of the beauty (also from PS) was sent to Zhao, who immediately remitted the hospitalization expenses and nutrition expenses.

  Because he was worried about the condition of "Beauty", Zhao contacted the hospital according to the contact information on the "medical record", only to find that the beauty, the train conductor and the doctor were all liars, and he was cheated of 22,800 yuan before and after.

  From March to May 2016, the task force organized three arrests and arrested 81 people involved in the case in Dongguan, Huizhou and Guangzhou. After review, the gang confessed to more than 200 online fraud cases, with victims spread all over the country, and initially grasped that the amount involved exceeded 1 million yuan.

  The leader of the "MLM" dating fraud gang calls himself the chairman internally.

  Liang Ruiguo, deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department, said that the gang’s criminal methods are different from the previous methods of peer-to-peer dating fraud: the gang operates in a company mode and is managed by pyramid schemes. The gang leader calls himself "chairman" and "general manager" internally; The core members are called "executives" and "managers", who are mainly responsible for management, training and gang division; The backbone members are called "store managers", who are mainly responsible for the development of offline, general management and training; Ordinary members form a group of 5-6 people and gather in a "family" way. Each "family" has a "parent" to lead "family members" to carry out first-line fraud activities.

  Chatting up, chatting, male liar, voice video for female partner.

  At the time of fraud, the gang successively registered multiple QQ and WeChat numbers, downloaded pictures of women with good faces from the Internet as avatars, filled in false female information, and took the initiative to chat with male netizens through Internet search, nearby people, shaking, etc. Once a man was added as a friend, he used sweet words to chat with the other party according to the "routine" and pretended to become a couple or a close friend. After gradually defrauding the victim’s trust, he defrauded the victim’s money through WeChat red envelopes and bank transfers on the grounds that he or his parents were ill in hospital, family difficulties, and the other party had to pay the fare to meet the victim. In order to fully gain the trust and sympathy of the victims, the suspects also forged false medical records and train tickets, and the accomplices pretended to be medical staff chatting with the victims, which caused the illusion of being seriously ill and was extremely confusing.

  It is reported that the members of the gang are generally half men and half women, and they are all male members when chatting, but when language and video chat are needed, female members are asked to come and appear. Members of the gang confessed that under normal circumstances, they would refuse to meet for various reasons. If they had to meet, they would let their female associates meet, claiming to be doing business and investing in projects.

  Liars are mostly "post-90 s" migrant workers and white-collar workers who are easily deceived.

  It is understood that the front-line members of the gang are mainly "post-90 s" young people such as minors and newly graduated college students. Because most of them are not deeply involved in the world, they believe in the training of "lecturers" and are gradually brainwashed into thinking that they are doing a legitimate "career". "They thought they were doing online business and internet plus, and they were very enthusiastic and swindled after being brainwashed." Liang Ruiguo said.

  Most of the deceived victims are migrant workers, bachelors who may have difficulty finding a partner, and white-collar workers in the company. Older people are over 40 years old, and younger ones are only around 17 or 18 years old. They are all single men of all ages. "Some victims are still in the dark."

  "Cheats" of Making Friends Fraud Speech

  In the "training" course of fraud seized by the police, the "cheats" of speech skills recorded in detail the whole process of how to chat, contact feelings and borrow money under various excuses.

  First, register a micro-signal, the name should be elegant and generous, female, about 20 years old, with a picture of a beautiful woman, add a strange man as a friend by shaking it, looking for a nearby person or a drift bottle, and then operate step by step.

  one

  First, a cordial opening

  Hello, my name is XXX. May I have your name?

  Nice to meet you!

  Mr. XXX, I saw the drift bottle you threw, and it’s fate that I can meet you like this.

  I work in XXX, where do you work now?

  Are you busy with your work at ordinary times? I work alone here, which is more leisure and a little boring … …

  I’m a down-to-earth person. May I have your name? It’s awkward to always call you Mr. XX. What do your friends usually call you? And don’t call me miss XXX, just call me Xiaomei. If you and I meet by chance, we won’t say that we feel strange.

  2

  Second, contact feelings

  Hello, X, have you eaten yet?

  Are you tired from work today? How many hours do you usually work?

  So what do you like to do in your spare time, or do you have any other hobbies?

  Are your parents in good health? By the way, how many brothers and sisters do you have? Everything is about showing concern for each other.

  Oh, you want to have a voice chat (if the other party wants to confirm the female identity, ask the same group of women for help to say a few words). My voice is not very bad. I like typing, but I don’t like voice chat very much. Let’s talk like this in the future.

  Xxx, it feels good to talk to you for a while, and you are more considerate. If we are together like you said, what will you do to me? I want you to be good to me, listen to me, don’t scold me, and you can tell me some happy or unhappy things in your work and life, okay?

  three

  Third, start with cheating small money.

  X, thank you for accompanying me these days. I’m really happy in my heart. Suddenly, I feel like I have more concerns. From what I know about you these days, I think you are a nice man. Why don’t you be my boyfriend? (determine the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend)

  Honey, did you miss me? I’m the only one at home recently, which is annoying! Why don’t you come and see me and we’ll meet?

  You don’t have time to come to my place. You can ask me to come to your place, but you have to help me buy a ticket!

  Or you don’t believe that I don’t even have a fare, so will you come and pick me up?

  Then you remit me 1000 yuan first, and I’ll buy a train ticket first.

  Dear, I have bought my ticket (send a PS train ticket). The 10 o’clock train tonight will arrive at 1 pm tomorrow. Remember to pick me up!

  four

  Fourth, go to the hospital to cheat a lot of money

  Xx, I’m here. I’m so excited. I’m going to see you soon. Do you miss me?

  Dear, can you help me? My stomach suddenly hurts, and the flight attendant also said that my face is pale and ugly. I am afraid that I will be sent to the hospital for examination. What should I do? (or parents and other family members are sick)

  Honey, I’m in the hospital now. The doctor said that I had an acute appendicitis attack, and all the laboratory tests came out. What should I do?

  Dear, the doctor said that the condition is serious, and the operation must be performed immediately. The operation cost is more than 8,000 yuan. I came out in a hurry and didn’t bring much money. Can you remit it to me first? (If the other party doesn’t believe me, ask the same group to pretend to be a doctor and say a few words.)

  Have you remitted the money? Do you want from ruin? I really regret coming to see you! (If the other party doesn’t remit money, say something rude)

  Honey, thank you. I have finished my surgery. This meeting is really not smooth. I’d better go back first. You can pay me some nutrition fees again.

Flash IPO to the United States, the average net profit per order in the first half of this year was 90 cents.

  Recently, Flash Bing Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Flash") officially submitted a prospectus and plans to list on NASDAQ. Prior to this, on July 4th, official website of China Securities Regulatory Commission disclosed the filing notice about flashing overseas issuance and listing.

  According to public information, Flash was established in 2014, which mainly provides "one-to-one delivery service" for individuals and corporate customers, specifically addressing the requirements of timeliness and security such as "delivering keys" and "delivering documents". The actual controller of the company is Xue Peng. Before the IPO, he held 22.7% of the company’s equity and 74.6% of the voting rights.

  At the beginning of its establishment, Flash was favored by venture capital. According to Tianyancha, in March 2014, the company obtained angel round financing from Jingwei Venture Capital, amounting to several million yuan. In the following ten years, Flash has raised a total of 11 rounds of financing, involving more than 10 venture capital institutions, the most recent of which occurred in March 2021, with a financing amount of 125 million US dollars.

  After ten years of development, flash has become the first in the segmentation field. By June 30, 2024, the company had about 2.7 million registered riders, and its service coverage was extended to 295 cities in China. According to iResearch, in 2023, the market share of flash delivery independent on-demand delivery service in China will be about 33.9%.

  In 2021 -2023 and the first half of 2024, Flash completed orders of 159 million, 213 million, 271 million and 138 million respectively, corresponding to revenues of 3.040 billion yuan, 4.003 billion yuan, 4.529 billion yuan and 2.284 billion yuan. Flash said that according to iResearch, in the first half of this year, the company was able to charge an average price of 16.5 yuan per order, which is a significant premium compared with the prices charged by other major participants in the on-demand delivery industry.

  Although the average unit price is high, it is limited by the characteristics of "one-to-one express delivery service", and the performance cost of each express delivery is also high, and the salary and reward paid to riders account for a large part of the income cost. According to the prospectus, in 2021 -2023 and the first half of 2024, the salaries and rewards paid to riders by flash transport were 2.751 billion yuan, 3.614 billion yuan, 3.975 billion yuan and 1.951 billion yuan, respectively, accounting for 90.5%, 90.3%, 87.8% and 85.4% of the income. The high proportion of revenue and cost has also led to the gross profit margin of Flash delivery hovering around 10% in recent years.

  The profit level is reflected in the profit scale. From 2021 to 2022, Flash delivery recorded net losses of 291 million yuan and 180 million yuan respectively, and it didn’t turn losses into profits until 2023 with a net profit of 110 million yuan. However, it should be noted that most of last year’s profits came from government subsidies, and the operating profit related to operating conditions was only 11 million yuan. In the first half of 2024, the company continued to make profits, with a net profit of 124 million yuan, which was less than that of 0.9 yuan on average.

  The industry believes that compared with catering service providers in the instant delivery field, the "one-to-one delivery service" of flash delivery is in a weak position in terms of traffic and user stickiness. How to improve the profit level in the future will test its operational ability. Flash said in the prospectus that the net proceeds from IPO will be mainly used to expand the customer base and increase market penetration; Create a brand image; Technology research and development; And for general corporate use.
