On Wednesday, local time, Twitter's "Blue V Certification" added an annual plan: $84 (570 yuan) / year.
Previously, the price of a monthly subscription plan through the web was $8 (54 yuan) per month, and it was $11 (75 yuan) per month for Apple devices and Android devices.

NIO veteran Zhou Xin took over the vehicle project
According to 36Kr news, Danilo Teobaldi left NIO as vice president of vehicle engineering and transferred to the chief engineer of European vehicles.
Zhou Xin, Executive Vice President and Chairman of NIO's Product Committee, will take over NIO's vehicle engineering business.
Danilo Teobaldi, a native of Turin, Italy, joined NIO from Qoros in 2015 and was promoted to vice president of vehicle engineering in 2019, where he has been responsible for the development and optimization of automotive pedestal indicators such as dynamic performance and safety performance for the next three years.
According to media analysis, the industry competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and NIO in the top camp needs to further increase the speed of new technology on the car and new products on the market - this may be one of the reasons for Danilo Teobaldi's departure.
Although Zhou Xin rarely appears in the media, he is one of NIO's founding elders, one of NIO's four chairmen, and one of only two executive vice presidents of NIO. He took over the whole vehicle project, which shows NIO's urgency to speed up vehicle development.
