Maserati’s symbol is a trident, which originated from the coat of arms of Bologna, Italy, and is also a symbol of Neptune in Roman mythology. Trident represents Maserati’s three core values: strength, elegance and challenge. Mario Maserati, one of the founders of Maserati, designed this logo in 1920, which has since become the soul and logo of Maserati brand.

Maserati’s history can be traced back to 1914, when four brothers Alfonso, Carlo, Ettore and Bindo Maserati founded the Society à Anonima Official Alfieri Maserati in Bologna, specializing in the production of racing cars and aircraft engines. They have deep enthusiasm and professional knowledge for automobile technology, and soon they have made brilliant achievements in the field of racing. In 1926, they launched the first racing car named after Maserati, and won the championship at Targa Florio. Since then, Maserati has made great achievements in various international competitions, including Indianapolis 500, Italian Grand Prix and 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Maserati creates boundless boundaries with fearlessness, creates the future with innovation, and goes to the world with passion, bringing more surprises and choices to drivers. In recent years, Maserati has launched a number of amazing new models, showing its vision and courage for the future.

In 2020, Maserati launched a brand-new super sports car MC20, which is the first super sports car since Maserati launched MC12 in 2010 and the first mid-engine sports car since Maserati launched Bora in 1968. The MC20 adopts a brand-new Nettuno engine, which is the first time Maserati has used a self-developed engine since 1937. It has 630 horsepower and a maximum torque of 730 Nm, and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, with a top speed of 325 km/h. The MC20 also adopts lightweight carbon fiber body and aerodynamic design, as well as advanced electronic system and luxurious interior, providing drivers with the ultimate performance and comfort.

In 2021, Maserati launched a brand-new SUV model Grecale, which is the second SUV model after the launch of Levante in 2016, and it is also an important part of Maserati’s brand rejuvenation plan.

In 2022, Maserati will launch a brand-new convertible sports car MC20 Cielo, which is Maserati’s first convertible supercar and an extension of MC20 series. Cielo means "the sky", which means Maserati’s pursuit of freedom, infinity and challenge. The MC20 Cielo adopts retractable hardtop design, which can be opened and closed in 17 seconds without affecting the performance and space of the vehicle. The MC20 Cielo retains the powerful power and lightweight structure of the MC20 sports car, but also increases the fun and enjoyment brought by the convertible.

"Ma Weidou talks about the Forbidden City, the original price is 199 yuan, only the top 70 are free!" "Ma Weidou talks about the Forbidden City, and there are only 8 places left!" "Ma Weidou talks about history, which is knowledgeable, interesting and affectionate. Chinese must listen to the open history class, and long press the identification (QR code) to enter the group to learn" … This National Day holiday, many pictures with the famous collector and curator of Guanfu Museum, Ma Weidou’s head and QR code, were widely spread in the circle of friends under the slogan of limited time free and full people.

On the afternoon of October 7th, Ma Weidou passed the real name authentication, and Weibo issued a statement condemning the fake fraud, saying that during the National Day, all kinds of WeChat virus marketing groups with their names and portraits proliferated. These groups started classes in the form of free first, and then cheated. All the courses of the virus marketing group were taken out of context, and many people were deceived and lost their money. Don’t think that you can join the group for free. Liars are becoming more and more sophisticated, and you will regret it after being fooled.

On October 8th, Ma Weidou said in an interview with Red Star News reporter that he had never encountered such a thing before. "Using the tour I gave in the Forbidden City, he turned the tour into an open class, which was very confusing."

Confusion: The tour of the Forbidden City in Ma Weidou has become an "open class"

On October 1st this year, the "Walkman in Scenic Spots" audio guide service was launched on the map of Gaode, and Ma Weidou was invited to explain all kinds of interesting knowledge of the Forbidden City to tourists on this platform. I never thought that this unique audio guide was used and made into marketing pictures under the banner of open class, which spread widely.

Ma Weidou told Red Star News that on October 2, he found marketing pictures with his head on WeChat. "I didn’t have to pay attention to this matter at first, and it may be gone in a few days. As a result, I didn’t expect it to get worse and worse."

"The peak period is probably on October 4 and 5, and it is overwhelming. Everyone is asking. For example, the person who sells fruit and repairs cars at the entrance of our museum also asked, when I saw it, it has spread to the non-cultural field, and I can’t answer it at all. " Ma Weidou said.

He admits that he has never encountered such a thing before. "Using the tour I gave in the Forbidden City, he turned the tour into an open class, which was very confusing."

As for the range of marketing pictures spread, Ma Weidou said, "I estimate by myself, because sometimes some blogs click more than 10 million and I don’t feel this way. I feel that there are always tens of millions of this virus spread this time."

People around you join the group to explore the truth: they are kicked out if they have any doubts.

After the incident, the staff around Ma Weidou once scanned the code into the group to find out the truth. "You can’t ask questions after you go in. For example, one of us asked him that this is Teacher Ma’s class? I’ll kick you right away. " Ma Weidou said.

The Red Star journalist found that the QR code on the current marketing picture has failed, and the network error is displayed after scanning the code recognition.

As for who made the marketing pictures and who was behind them, Ma Weidou said that it is still unknown.

Ma Weidou said that according to the feedback from the staff, these marketing pictures are probably fraudulent in two ways: one is to use traffic to sell advertisements and earn advertising fees; The second is to use traffic to pull people to invest and manage money.

"Because scammers now understand one thing very well, that is, once something is in quantity, someone will be fooled, and (the probability of being deceived) it has a percentage. For example, if you pull in a hundred people and one person wants to invest, this person will be fooled. "

"He just got a stunt to trick you into coming in. It’s a bit like lying in the park and saying that there is a star performance here. As a result, there is no performance after coming in, so I will trick you in first." Ma Weidou said.

"My class (tour guide) is only 12 yuan, and the liar didn’t move my class. You can’t see it in the liar." Ma Weidou said that he issued a statement through Weibo, and hoped that everyone would forward it more and not be deceived.

Ma Weidou told Red Star News that the incident has been handled by its legal department.

In this regard, the relevant person in charge of Gaode Map said that Gaode Map and Guanfu Museum will pursue legal responsibility for all fraudulent infringers.

Lawyer: Consumer fraud of "selling dog meat by hanging sheep’s head"

In this regard, lawyer Lin Xiaojian, the founder of "Ding Ding Lawyer" legal service platform, believes that this is a typical consumer fraud, which uses the herd mentality and celebrity effect of consumers to defraud consumers’ attention and money. "A liar is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Once you gain the trust of consumers further, in serious cases, it is likely to ruin consumers’ homes. If the circumstances are serious, it constitutes a crime. "

Regarding the punishment that the person involved may face, Lin Xiaojian said that Article 266 of the Criminal Law stipulates that whoever defrauds public or private property in a large amount shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or control, and shall also or only be fined; If the amount is huge or there are other serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined; If the amount is especially huge or there are other especially serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years or life imprisonment, and shall be fined or confiscated. Where there are other provisions in this Law, such provisions shall prevail.
