▲ "Small Eight-story" located in Mengbo, northern Myanmar

　　In the downtown area of Mengbo, the Wa State in northern Myanmar, the "Xiaoba Floor" is an unremarkable street-facing building, but it is an electric fraud park where thousands of people once lived, and there are supermarkets, dormitories and office areas … … There is a security guard at the door with a gun.

　　Recently, Nanchong Public Security Bureau in Sichuan cracked the "4.01" mega-telecommunication network fraud case jointly supervised by the Ministry of Public Security and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, destroyed 21 fraud gangs and arrested 1,090 suspects, involving a total amount of 62.47 million yuan. The police found out that the above-mentioned gangs and suspects were mainly concentrated in the "Little Eight Floor" in Mengbo, Wa State, Myanmar, and the "Sanliandong" and "Caigang shed" in Mengping.

　　“‘ Small eight floors ’ It was rented by Lan Moumou, and he rented it to other fraud gangs while running his own fraud company. " Liu Hao, director of the Anti-Fraud Center of the Public Security Bureau of Yilong County, Nanchong City, told Red Star News that there were more than 10 electric fraud companies in the "Little Eight Floor", and Lan Moumou also had a "shareholding" operation in the electric fraud company in the "Sanliandong".

　　It is reported that the investigation of the "4.01" mega-transnational electric fraud case lasted for more than two years, and nine district and county public security (sub-) bureaus of Nanchong Public Security Bureau participated in the battle, and the procuratorial organs also intervened in the joint case in advance. The breakthrough of "4.01" case originated from a case of "two cards" (mobile phone card and bank card) in early 2011.

　　Liu Hao said that among the complicated clues, Nanchong police not only found out the black production chain of electric fraud parks such as "Xiaoba Floor", "Sanlian Building" and "Caigang shed", but also grasped the clues of more than 30 other electric fraud gangs, which have been handed over to the public security departments at higher levels.

　　The format of "small eight floors" in northern Myanmar;

　　Concentrate on more than 10 home appliance fraud companies

　　In fact, it is an electric fraud park.

　　On February 19, 2021, Yilong County Public Security Bureau checked the clues of "two cards" according to the deployment of superiors. With the deepening of the investigation, the money laundering gang and the electric fraud company behind it were traced. In the same year, Yingshan County Public Security Bureau and Peng ‘an County Public Security Bureau of Nanchong City cracked "Zhang and others were suspected of telecommunication network fraud" and "Zhao and others were suspected of telecommunication network fraud" respectively. The chain terminals of several cases all point to the fraud gangs established by Lan Moumou in Mengping and Mengbo, Wa State in northern Myanmar.

　　In view of the seriousness of the case, in January 2022, after reporting to the superior for approval, Nanchong City Public Security Bureau set up a task force and a headquarters to co-ordinate the nine district and county public security (sub-) bureaus to participate in the investigation.

　　According to the cross-checked clues, the police found out that Lan Moumou was from Fujian. He had an activity track in Yunnan in 2019, and there was no news since then. The suspect in the case confirmed that the "small eight floors" in Mengbo, Wa State in northern Myanmar were rented by Lan Moumou from the local people. In addition to running his own electric fraud company, he also subletted the floor to other electric fraud gangs.

　　"Little Eight-story", "Three-story Building" and "Caigang shed" are all names given by the police according to the characteristics of the places involved. "The fact is that there are electric fraud parks." Liu Hao told the Red Star journalist that Lan Moumou had the largest self-operated company in the "Little Eight-story", which once reached 300 to 400 people, and there were no fewer than 10 electric fraud companies, large and small.

　　"Little Eight-story" is an eight-story building facing the street. The ground floor is a supermarket, the second and third floors are office areas, and the upper floors are dormitories. Liu Hao introduced that Lan Moumou not only collects the rent from other electric fraud companies, but also enjoys the billing commission from other companies. Because of his large business volume, he works closely with money laundering gangs and also provides money laundering intermediary business to other electronic fraud companies.

　　Lan Moumou does not often appear in the "small eight floors", and the daily management business is handed over to his fellow villager Lin. According to the confession of the suspect in the case, Lan Moumou also invested in an electric fraud company in "Sanliandong" in Mengping.

　　Also in the "Little Eight Floor", Bear and Kurogane are also the bosses of the electric fraud company, both of whom are from Fujian. A number of company executives confirmed that in addition to its own "sole proprietorship", Bear also owns 50% of the shares of Kurogane Company.

　　The manager of Big Bear Company is called Big Bear. After Xiong Da arrived at the case, he confessed that when Xiong was down and out in his hometown in Fujian, he helped him with all his strength. Later, Bear went to North Myanmar and came back as a "rich man", buying a house and a luxury car for his relatives. In order to report Xiong Da’s "grace of dripping water", Xiong invited him to Myanmar North Management Company.

　　Electric fraud personnel in the park:

　　It is almost impossible to escape.

　　Constantly looking for "the next victim"

　　In the electric fraud park, everyone becomes another person. Their identity cards were confiscated and they were not allowed to contact their families. They entered the world of lies and even their own names were erased. They only had a temporary title: Big Bear, Big Bear, Kurogane, Qiqi, Zhang Wei … …

　　"They have all kinds of fraud methods, different words, some for the elderly, some for women, and some for men … … There is a brush list, a pig killing plate, and a naked chat extortion … …” Qiao Jun, instructor of the 1st Squadron of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Public Security Bureau of Jialing District, Nanchong City, said that according to incomplete statistics, there are at least more than 10 kinds of electronic fraud means in the "small eight floors".

　　Qiao Jun contacted a female victim in Beijing according to the clues given by the suspect. The woman was cheated by tens of thousands of yuan in the deception of "killing pig plates", but she did not report the case due to family reasons. The suspects confessed that they should add a certain number of "customers" to the dating network and social software every day, and then strike up a conversation, add them as friends, and cultivate feelings … … Working for more than 10 hours every day, constantly looking for the "next victim", dare not stop.

　　Liu Hao told Red Star News that there is a strict reward and punishment mechanism in the electric fraud park, with commission for billing and reward for good performance, but if the task is not completed, it means severe punishment, such as starvation, corporal punishment, beating and closing the dog cage … …

　　The gate is guarded by security guards with guns, and the swindlers at the bottom can’t go out at will. They eat, drink and sleep in this building. Managers and grass-roots employees are equipped with badges, and the color of badges means freedom to enter and leave the building, but general middle managers also need to find the "boss" to open an access slip.

　　It is even more impossible to escape. Even if you escape, the company will soon use the local umbrella forces and issue a "reward" announcement to arrest people. When you are caught back, you will often be beaten badly.

　　"The electric fraud park is like a black hole." Many suspects said that they were introduced by friends at first, or they were cheated by "high salary" when looking for a job online, and then they crossed the border and plunged into the electric fraud park. While engaging in fraud activities, they also lost their freedom … …

　　The prosecution intervened in advance:

　　Knock out 21 fraud gangs

　　The police went to many provinces and arrested 1090 people.

　　Qiao Jun was deeply impressed by a female suspect named Qiqi. She met a boyfriend from Chongqing in an electric fraud den in northern Myanmar. After they came back, they had planned to get married and "live a down-to-earth life". However, the justice of the sky was restored, and the couple were finally arrested by the police. On the way back from the escort, Qiao Jun heard the girl get a call from her prospective mother-in-law and asked when they would go back for dinner.

　　This female suspect named Qiqi cooperated more during the trial and honestly explained many questions. Qiao Jun said that during the trial, such suspects are rare, and many suspects will try their best to erase their criminal acts, saying that they sell barbecues, drive taxis and have haircuts there … … But the interrogator knew clearly, "There is no such thing as so much work in that small place in Mengbo."

　　In the face of a large amount of evidence held by the police, the suspect can only be honest in the end. Qiao Jun said that many suspects and victims were "screened out", and they were "screened" one by one through time points, fraud platforms, associated bank cards, and the existence time of their dens, and then cross-checked according to the suspects’ accounts, and finally the criminal facts were fixed one by one.

　　Liu Hao told Red Star News reporter that there was no victim to report the case at first, and the facts of the crime were unclear at first. In addition, the location of the crime was in northern Myanmar, and it was impossible to collect fixed on-site evidence and tools for committing crimes, which made it extremely difficult to handle the case. The early intervention of procuratorial organs has greatly helped the police to find and fix evidence in a targeted manner.

　　With the concerted efforts of Nanchong police and procuratorial organs, the case-handling personnel finally locked the identity information of more than 2,000 suspects in buildings such as "Little Eight-story Building", "Three-story Building" and "Caigang shed", and identified 21 fraud gangs of different sizes and unrelated.

　　From the beginning of 2022 to the middle of 2023, Nanchong police carried out several rounds of arrests in 23 provinces including Fujian, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Zhejiang, and arrested 1090 suspects. Under the overall planning of Nanchong City Procuratorate, the procuratorates of all districts and counties in Nanchong City intervened in the case investigation in advance, and quickly arrested and prosecuted. At present, nearly 1,000 people involved in the case have been tried and closed.

　　At the same time, in the process of handling this case, Nanchong police have also mastered the clues of more than 30 other electric fraud gangs, and these clues have been handed over to the higher public security departments.

　　[News] Judging from the current China market, the sales performance of medium-sized cars is still in a relatively hot state, and this market is still an important market that major joint venture brands strive for. Therefore, in the year after the replacement, as one of the important medium-sized cars of the brand, domestic products also officially ushered in the replacement after a lapse of 9 years. The new Regal is a model that everyone pays more attention to recently, and we also know that it will be on sale in June this year. So what kind of surprise can the new Regal bring us? What will be its product positioning and competitors? Can you return to the glory of the two kings with the help of replacement? In this article, let’s take a look at it together.

● Introduction of the new Regal:

◆ Model background: It was first introduced in China in December 2002 and has gone through three generations of models.

The first generation of Regal made in China made a good start.

"The picture shows the 2006 Regal"

　　Let’s go back to 2002. On December 26th of that year, Shanghai General Motors Co., Ltd. officially unveiled a brand-new model and named it Regal. This car is the fourth generation model of overseas Regal, and it is also the first domestic landing in China market. With its atmospheric appearance, luxurious interior and several powerful power systems of 2.0L four-cylinder, 2.5L V6 and 3.0L V6, Buick Regal has won the attention of many domestic consumers and made a good start.

The second generation regal made in China builds the glory of two monarchs.

"The picture shows the 2012 Regal"

　　Six years later, on December 1st, 2008, the second-generation domestic Regal was officially put on the market. The new car was built on the universal Epsilon II global platform, shared the platform with Buick LaCrosse, and made many sports style adjustments, such as appearance and so on, which further enhanced the luxury and sportiness of Regal. In addition, after the early launch of 2.0L and 2.4L models, the domestic second-generation Regal also added 2.0T and 1.6T models in the following time, further conforming to the trend. In particular, the launch of the 2.0T Regal GS model made Regal different from the LaCrosse on the road of sports medium-sized cars, which won the love of young consumers. At that time, it successfully built a double glory with the domestic LaCrosse. (According to the sales volume, Shuangjun Group achieved sales of nearly 200,000 vehicles in 2015 and nearly 180,000 vehicles in 2010 and 2011.)

What kind of surprise will the domestic third-generation Regal bring when it comes late?

"The picture shows the new domestic Regal"

　　At present, the domestic second-generation Regal 2015 models are still on sale in China market. From the time point of view, it has been nearly nine years from 2008 to 2017. At the same time, in this era when the automobile industry is changing with each passing day, nine years is inevitably too long for Buick Regal to replace. Seeing that many competitors have successively upgraded their models and launched new cars, Regal is at a disadvantage in terms of product competitiveness and market influence, and the arrival of the domestic third-generation Regal also seems a bit late. However, after 9 years of R&D and innovation, what product highlights will Buick’s new Regal have? What kind of surprise will it bring us? Let’s continue to look down.

◆ Brand-new platform, with the latest family design.

"Domestic brand-new Regal"

"Brand-new appearance"

　　The brand-new Regal was unveiled on a small scale overseas in early April this year, and the brand-new domestic Regal also made its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show, which opened in April this year. In fact, as early as before the appearance of the new Regal, we can roughly grasp what the new Regal looks like by referring to the new British speed Asia that was unveiled at the overseas auto show. The reason is that GM has adopted different brand vehicle strategies in different regions of the world. As a global vehicle, the brand-new Regal is built on the latest E2XX globalization platform of GM (the current model is Epsilon II platform), and different brands are used for sales in different regions: Buick is labeled as a new generation of Regal in China and the United States; The Australian market will label Horton; British market labeling vauxhall; In the European market, Opel is labeled as a new generation of Insua.

　　Judging from the new car launched, the brand-new Regal adopted the brand-new design style of Buick family, and the flying wing grille shape has also become the fourth Buick model with this design after the brand-new LaCrosse and after. Compared with the current models, the new car has changed greatly. The headlight group adopts a brand-new matrix design, and the headlights are composed of 37 LED light sources. After lighting, the recognition is very high, which makes the new car look sharper and more in line with the aesthetic needs of young people. However, in terms of the same model, no one is really embarrassed to say hello to others.

　　In addition, it is worth noting that the center of the new Regal engine cover has a high-rise line design, which is in contrast with the brand-new LaCrosse listed before, which also reflects the more sporty design style of the brand-new Regal to some extent.

◆ Domestic exclusive sedan version, the wheelbase is 92mm longer than the current model.

"The picture shows the brand-new Regal made in China"

　　From the side, the new domestic Regal adopts a streamlined body design, and the lines on the side of the body are richer than those of the current models. The rising waistline runs through the front and rear door handles, and the lines behind the C-pillar are smoother, with a hint of coupe style. Sexy is also more pleasing.

"The new Regal Sportback』 unveiled overseas"

"The brand-new Regal TourX』 unveiled overseas"

　　It is also worth mentioning that, although Regal is a global model, it will only provide a version in China market, while in overseas markets, it will provide Sportback (Slipback Edition) and TourX (Cross-border Travel Edition). At present, the sedan version is still the most popular car model in China market, which also reflects Buick’s special adjustment to China consumers.

　　In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new domestic Regal are 4902mm/1863mm/1456mm and 2829mm respectively (reaching the size of mainstream medium-sized cars), which is the same as that of overseas models. Although there is no deliberate domestic lengthening, compared with the current models, the wheelbase of the new car is increased by 92mm, the height of the car body is increased by 59mm, the width is increased by 7mm, and the height is decreased by 28mm, showing a lower visual effect as a whole. At the same time, the longer wheelbase and the length of the car body also bring better rear legroom for the new car without losing style, which we will introduce in detail below.

　　Compared with the drastic changes in the front face, the tail of the new car is still slightly low-key. The tail shape of the new car is relatively regular, with a brand-new taillight design, which is more slender, and the LED light strip is integrated inside, which echoes with the headlight group, and the lighting effect is very brilliant. At the same time, in order to highlight the sporty design, the duck tail design of the current model continues to be preserved on the new Regal, and the exhaust layout of the two sides is also derived from the current model, but it is understood that it will only be reflected in the high-profile models.

◆ The interior will adopt a brand-new design, and the sense of luxury will be significantly improved compared with the current models.

"The picture shows the overseas version of the new Regal interior"

　　As the domestic brand-new Regal unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show only showed its appearance and did not announce its interior, we will refer to overseas models to take you to know about it. Referring to the overseas version of the new Regal, the interior design of the new car has also undergone tremendous changes compared with the current model. The overall layout of the center console is more layered, with an LCD screen on the top and functional buttons and control knobs on the bottom. At the same time, a large number of wooden decorative plates are used around the shift lever, which improves the interior texture to a certain extent and is more luxurious than the current model.

◆ The configuration in the car is further enriched.

"The picture is the overseas version of the new Regal interior official map"

　　In terms of configuration, it is understood that the new car will be equipped with a 7-inch (optional 8-inch with navigation) color LCD screen as standard, and support the very popular Apple CarPlay and Android Auto interconnection functions, which has improved the update of the in-vehicle entertainment system. At the same time, the new car also changed into a brand-new three-spoke, which further optimized the display of the dashboard and improved the sports atmosphere of the whole car. In addition, it is understood that the new Regal will also be equipped with GM’s latest driver assistance system, including many technologies such as pedestrian active safety, further improving the safety of vehicle driving, and will also provide five years of free use of services. Overall, the new Regal has made great progress in interior and configuration compared with the current models, and its competitiveness has been greatly improved.

◆ The rear head space is not ideal, and the rear leg space is excellent.

"The picture shows the new space experience of Insua"

　　In terms of space experience, referring to the brand-new Insua of its prototype, the front row space of the experiencer with a height of 175mm is acceptable, while the back row head space of the experiencer is relatively cramped due to the decrease of the body height, but thanks to the increase of wheelbase and body length, the back row leg space of the experiencer performs well. Compared with the current model, the head space of the new car has not changed much, while the leg space performance has improved obviously.

◆ It is worth looking forward to providing three new power systems to match the 9-speed automatic transmission.

　　Judging from the previous application information, the new domestic Regal provides three displacement power options, namely 1.5T/2.0T turbocharged engine and 1.8L system. Among them, the maximum power of the 1.5T engine is 163 HP, and the maximum power of the brand-new 2.0T engine is 254 HP. The hybrid model shares the power system with the hybrid version, which consists of a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine and an electric motor. The maximum power of the engine is 123 horsepower. In terms of transmission, ordinary models will match GM’s latest 9-speed, while hybrid models will match the E- gearbox.

　　From the point of view of power system, the powertrain of the new Regal is more exciting than the current models. It provides a 1.5T small-displacement engine in line with the times, and the maximum power of the 2.0T model has been improved, which strengthens the market competitiveness of the 2.0T model. At the same time, the introduction of a 1.8L hybrid model instead of a 2.0L model for the first time is also expected to further optimize the problem of high fuel consumption, which consumers have complained a lot about before.

"Screenshot of some word-of-mouth of the current Regal owners"

　　In addition, the new 9-speed automatic gearbox replacing the current 6-speed automatic manual transmission is also a highlight of the new car. As we all know, the current 6-speed automatic manual transmission of Regal has always been a point that everyone spits, and the gearbox that "will think about life" is often used by everyone to ridicule. However, according to the feedback from our related colleagues after the test drive of the brand-new Insua, the 9-speed automatic gearbox matched with the brand-new Insua has a good shift performance, which is much smarter than the previous 6-speed automatic manual transmission, and the improvement is obvious, so we are also looking forward to the performance of the brand-new domestic Regal which is also equipped with the brand-new 9-speed automatic transmission.

　　All in all, the product competitiveness of the new Regal has indeed improved significantly compared with the current models. The first thing that bears the brunt is that it is expected to replace the new 9-speed gearbox, which is expected to solve the biggest criticism of the current models. Secondly, the extended wheelbase and body length have also improved the problem of insufficient leg space of the current models. In addition, the brand-new appearance, interior design, richer configuration and upgraded power system are equally tempting, which can be said to be full of SAIC-GM-Buick’s goal of returning to the glory of Shuangjun. Then, in the highly competitive joint venture brand medium-sized car market, can the brand-new Regal, which will be listed soon, once again stand out from the encirclement? What kind of market position will it have after listing? Let’s look down.
