Range Rover Star Pulse, Sport Edition, Defender, Increase and Reduce Price, Opportunity to Buy a Car.

Students considering buying a car, you are blessed. In 2025, Land Rover, the new model was changed to the market, the configuration was increased, and the price was lowered. It is still very sincere to increase the quantity without increasing the price.

The first new car star pulse

The modeling design is very atmospheric and powerful, and it looks more arranged than before. Compared with the old model, the price of the new model remains unchanged, and the configuration has been upgraded by 10 items. The steering wheel electric adjustment, leather seats, Land Rover OS2.0 car system, adaptive far and near light, daytime running lights, and two rear charging interfaces are provided. In addition, the internal seats are also made of leather.

In the middle model, the front seat heating function and steering wheel memory function are added; High-profile models will match Windsor leather seats; In fact, the overall product competitiveness of the new Range Rover Star Pulse is still very good.

The new car has released a total of four models, with the guide price of 2.0T version starting at 568,000, the top matching at 678,000 and three models on the market. Only one version of the 3.0T version was released, and the price started at 788,000. The guide price is not cheap, but the decline of Range Rover Star Pulse this year can reach 170,000 to 200,000, and the cost performance is getting higher and higher. The lowest start is 400,000, and the top match is 600,000. I really didn’t dare to think about it before.

The new Range Rover Star Pulse 2.0T engine is matched with 8AT, with 250 horsepower; The 3.0TL6 cylinder engine is matched with 8AT, and it will join the 48V light mixing system with 400 horsepower. The whole system comes standard with front full-time four-wheel drive.

Although the new model is not bad, we need to understand the shortcomings and faults, and there are only three points with more feedback on the shortcomings:

First, some car owners think the space in the back row is relatively small, but I think it’s ok. The back row is quite large, and everyone feels differently.

Second, the fuel consumption is on the high side. Generally, the fuel consumption of this large-displacement engine will not be too low, and it will be about 2L to 3L higher than the official fuel consumption, which is also normal.

Thirdly, some car owners’ feedback control performance is poor, and suspension training is not particularly ideal, but the feedback is not particularly large, and most car owners are still satisfied. The suspension adjustment of this relatively sporty SUV will be a bit hard.

As for the problem of fault complaints, the fault rate of the new model has been reduced by about 3 to 4 times compared with the old model. The total number of fault complaints of the new model is now less than 20, and the workmanship quality is more solid. Fault complaints are only aimed at air conditioning problems, as well as service problems in 4S shops, sales of faulty cars, no spare parts, and unfulfilled sales promises.

The second new car Range Rover Sport Edition

Its sales far exceed that of Range Rover. This medium and large luxury SUV is really domineering in design and sporty in body. Its chassis is very high, the passability is very good, and it will come standard with air suspension system and central differential lock; The high-profile models will match the low-speed four-wheel drive and the overall active steering system.

The new 2025 Range Rover Sport Edition has released a total of 6 models. The guide price of the 3.0T version starts at 950,000, and the top price is 1.29 million, but the discount can be about 130,000 to 150,000. The naked car starts at 820,000, and the top price is 1.14 million. Compared with the old model, the guide price has been lowered by 18,000. As for the 4.4T version, it is still an old model that is currently on sale. The price starts at 2.438 million, and the price is quite not cheap. It will provide two styles to choose from.

What adjustments have been made to the configuration of the new Range Rover?

The new car focuses on the 3.0T version. Compared with the old model, the price is lowered by 18,000, and the configuration is increased by four items. The low-profile model is upgraded to electric. In addition to the entry level, the electric suction door will be added, and the high-profile upgraded steering wheel heating function will be added. The car refrigerator will be added to the top model. Although there are not many configuration upgrades, they are all very practical.

Power configuration

The 3.0TL6 cylinder engine is matched with 8AT, and the engine horsepower is 360, with a maximum of 400. The performance is very strong, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers is 5.7 seconds. The whole system is equipped with front full-time four-wheel drive. As for the 4.4TV8 engine matching 8AT, the engine horsepower is 635 horsepower, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers is 3.8 seconds. The dynamic performance is indeed very tough, but the price is close to 2.5 million, which is quite not cheap.

How to choose the Range Rover Sport Edition?

For the 3.0T version, I personally suggest to look at the high-power entry level, and the configuration is increased by 18 items. Bare cars started at 900,000 and landed at about 1 million. If the regional subsidies are deducted, the landing should be less than 980,000. This year’s subsidies have nearly doubled compared with last year. Compared with the low-profile models, it not only upgrades the 294kW engine, but also upgrades the 20-inch tires, electric suction doors, Windsor leather seats, front seat leg rest+ventilation function, second-row seat heating function, 30-color interior atmosphere lights, and streaming media rearview mirrors. In terms of safety assistance, it will also upgrade the rear collision warning, ACC full-speed adaptive cruise, L2-class assisted driving system, 12 ultrasonic radars and 3 millimeter-wave radars.

Third New Car Land Rover Defender

The configuration of the new 2025 models has changed greatly. There are 11 new models on the market, with the 90th version starting at 688,000, the top with 1.266 million and three models on the market. After the discount, the naked car started at 618,000 and the top was 1.2 million. The price of the 110 version starts at 798,000, and the top is 1.466 million, and five models are listed; After the discount, the naked car started at 728,000 and the top was 1.4 million. The price of the 130 version starts at 908,000, and the top is 1.028 million, and three models are listed; After the discount, the naked car started at 848,000 and the top was 968,000. For your reference, the subsidies and concessions in each region are completely different.

What adjustments have been made to the configuration of the new Land Rover Defender?

Through the comparison between the old and new models, the price of the 90 version is increased by 10,000 compared with the old model, but the configuration is upgraded by 6 items, ACC adaptive cruise at full speed, wireless charging of mobile phones, and leather-like seats; The high-profile models will also add the heating function of the second row of seats and the refrigeration function of the car refrigerator. Compared with the old version, the price of the 110 version is also raised by 10,000, and the configuration is increased by two items, and the car refrigerator and speakers are upgraded to 15.

As for the 5.0TV8 cylinder model, the current price is 1.266 million, and the top is 1.466 million. Only 90 and 110 versions are available. Compared with the old model, the price remains unchanged, and the configuration is upgraded by 7 items. The interior seat is upgraded with Windsor leather material, AQS air quality management system, car refrigerator, Land Rover OS 2.0 car system, 5 cameras outside the car, 12 ultrasonic radars and 3 millimeter-wave radars.

Power configuration

Still continue the old 2.0T matching 8AT engine with 300 horsepower. 3.0TL6 cylinder engine with 400 horsepower. The 5.0TV8 engine matches 8AT horsepower with 525 horsepower, and the whole system comes standard with front full-time four-wheel drive.

How to choose the 2025 Land Rover Defender?

You can watch the 3.0T version of the 90th edition, which is 19 items more than the 2.0T configuration. The naked car started at 738,000 and landed at 820,000. The interior upgraded leather steering wheel, leather mix-and-match seats, Windsor leather, heating function of the second row of seats, rear axle, L2 auxiliary driving system, rear collision warning and complete configuration.

As for the 110 version of the 3.0T dark special edition, the exterior design is very domineering, and it also has a trailer hook and a matrix light group. After the discount, the naked car started at 878,000 and landed at 970,000, which is at least 18 items more than the low-profile model. Inside, not only the car refrigerator refrigeration function, the rear privacy glass, but also the streaming media rearview mirror are added.

On the last day of May, fortunately, I didn’t miss May Day in TME live.

Original Liuxiaotu Entertainment Hard Candy

Author | Liu Xiaotu

Editor | Li Chunhui

In 1998, Jonathan Lee picked up a record from the trash can. After listening to the whole demo, he dialed the phone number on the back of the record.

"You are Jonathan Lee, I am still Tayu Lo." It was the guitarist monster who answered the phone. He thought it was a prank after hitting the wall many times. Jonathan Lee was kind enough to explain it carefully and invited them to meet and talk first. Today, when the fraud phone keeps ringing, I am afraid it will be another story.

In this way, Mayday successfully signed a contract with the company and stood on the best springboard to touch the music dream. In 1999, Mayday released her first album, and held a concert with over 40,000 people at the Taibei Municipal Stadium, which was the first orchestra in Taiwan Province (China) to hold a concert at the stadium. At that time, although this underground band emerged, no one would have expected that they could really become the song of youth for a generation like their predecessor Tayu Lo.

Since 2006, Mayday has basically had a "date" with fans every year, which is also the fixed time for Hard Sugar Jun to build a fan group. But seeing that in 2020, the May appointment at the scene is hopeless. Fans who have seen May Day singing in TME live’s special performance in JJ Lin can only go beyond words and wish that May Day can give a special performance.

On May 25th, there was no early warning announcement in Weibo, and the online concert "Suddenly I really want to see you" will be held on May 31st. Every city and every time zone can go to this online appointment of TME live.

In the summer of 2017, Hard Candy Jun came out of the Mayday Bird’s Nest concert and was so excited that he wrote a small paper in a circle of friends: As a group established for 20 years, Mayday’s songs began to contain the content of middle-aged crisis. But in this middle-aged crisis, it is also the pride of "being a teenager until death".

In the summer of 2020, after going through the robbery, and listening to Mayday singing "My last stubbornness and I will never let go", we can finally confirm that it is not just youth, but the whole life-I am a teenager until I die. Mayday did it, and we can do it.

From youth to life

When Hard Sugar Jun was in college, his favorite was Stubborn, and he felt that he could compete with the whole world. When I first started working, I still loved "Stubborn". In difficult times, I always echoed those lyrics in my mind, so I could hold on. Today, Hard Candy Jun can still say without hesitation, "When I am different from the world, let me be different", and this online concert, Mayday also chose "Stubborn" as the finale.

Youth is short and life is complicated. Judge the situation or not change your mind? The song of Mayday, growth is an eternal proposition. Growth at the age of 20, growth at the age of 30, and even growth at the age of 40. There are ordinary and great dreams in Salted Fish; There is warm and sweet love in Love ing; There is a passion to fight again in "the Monkey King" … Fans listen that Mayday grows up and Mayday grows up.

In the online concert of "Suddenly I really want to see you", Mayday chose representative works such as An Apple, Summer Lightyear and Stubborn. Together, it is the first half of most people’s war-torn life.

Adolescence, young people’s self-awareness has just awakened, and they can’t wait to get rid of all the shackles and find freedom. Forming a band, stealing hip-hop lessons, and dreaming about the future have become the "the Monkey King" in the "Summer Light Year".

As written in the Mayday Song, "If you want me to live, let me live with hope" is the creed of life. No matter how the relatives and friends who walk ahead persuade and warn, they still adhere to the inner order, "I don’t turn, I don’t turn."

There are no waves in the world, and such youth is a story repeated in every generation. When A Xin formed a band, she was scolded by her mother that "if she keeps playing, she will become a beggar sooner or later". He was at a loss because of this, and finally went on with the belief that "that would be cool".

Now, listening to the Monkey King and Light Year in Summer in Mayday can still quickly ignite fans who may no longer be young, the soul of Form 2 that has never really been extinguished.

Chen Kaige said, "When we believe that we are very important to the world, the world is just ready to forgive our naivety". After youth is life, and all kinds of tastes are in my heart. Every lonely night, people who missed it can only ruminate on "Suddenly I miss you", which was only ordinary at that time.

At that time, who wrote in the QQ space "I am most afraid that I have made up my mind to live by myself in this life, but suddenly I hear your news without you". Now who is in the live broadcast room of TME live, brushing "I really want to see you again", maybe the person who was looking forward to listening to the song together in the past can also see it.

As a real adult, but still believe in love, and even believe in saving the earth. It may seem naive to the sophisticated, but it is the truth of life here on May Day. When the people who want to make Noah’s Ark are bruised and bruised, some learn to reconcile, some learn to be content, and some learn to avoid … but deep down, they still hide their stubbornness of not telling others.

After listening to several songs, Ronghao Li, Jam Hsiao and Mao are not easy to suddenly appear on the stage, and this cross-screen cooperation has become the biggest tear point tonight. Fans from all over the world gathered on the screen, telling each other their feelings and surprises.

May day is always young.

Twenty years have passed, and the Chinese music scene is changing. Some people are forgotten and some people are out of date. Only on Mayday, not only the proposition in the song is growing, but even the form is closely following the changes of music media and always at the forefront of innovation. Fans who want to lie flat all the time like Hard Sugar Jun are also inspired by idols, so they can’t keep in good health by Buddhism so early.

After the release of her first album, Mayday became famous with her single "Zhi Ming and Chun Jiao" and gradually became the song list overlord of Taiwan Province KTV (China). Soon, they successively created two albums, Long Live Love and Sea of Life, which won numerous awards.

In 2001, A Xin, Martha, and Monster were ready to join the army, so they had to take a break in May. For the new band, the long "silence period" is likely to cause them to disappear from the sight of fans and gradually lose their influence. Unexpectedly, Mayday returned with her fourth album "Time Machine" two years later, breaking the curse of military service with strength.

However, the Chinese language scene in the Millennium is at its peak, and many divas in Faye Wong and A Mei are in full swing. Mayday is famous in Taiwan Province, but it has a weak presence in the mainland market. Hard candy jun still remembers that he accidentally saw their news from MTV information.

In 2004, Mayday first tried to enter the mainland music market. They gave their first performance in the "Unknown Highland" bar in Beijing. That night, there were only more than 30 spectators at the scene, and some people came for other bands. This embarrassing experience was once written into the song by Mayday as a stalk.

However, with the popularity of songs such as "Stubbornness" and "Contentment", Mayday finally caught fire in the mainland. Mainland fans heard their songs on radio and TV, and crowded into record stores to compete for tapes and CDs.

By 2012, two concerts were held in Beijing Bird’s Nest on May Day, and the scene was packed. The "Unknown Highland" bar is just a few kilometers away from the Bird’s Nest, and it has been eight years since May.

During this period, the online music platform of the Internet completely changed the life of the record era. In 2016, the keen Mayday released the first digital album Autobiography. Today, on the platforms of TME’s QQ music and cool dog music, Party Animals, Any Door and Life Limited Company are still popular works.

While exploring the territory of the music scene, Mayday also showed the courage and creativity that ordinary singers rarely have in exploring the forms of music expression. They first put the concert on the big screen with "Chasing Dreams for 3DNA", which created a precedent for Chinese concert movies. Then, they made a 3D concert movie of Noah’s Ark in May, and even won the praise of director Hou Xiaoxian.

In 2019, Mayday’s third film "Mayday Life Unlimited Company" landed in the mainland cinema. Fans "bring money into the group", and the whole network has a heated discussion around fan movies. In the end, the cumulative box office of this film exceeded 50 million, winning the comprehensive box office champion of documentary in 2019.

Today, they continue to break the boundaries of musical expression and complete the May appointment with online concerts. Judging from the concert effect, TME live presented an almost perfect stage for May Day. It was specially held in the memorable Taipei City Stadium, giving people the feeling of Do not forget your initiative mind and the starting point. They first warmed up by singing "An Apple" in the small room, and then flung open the door leading to the main stage. At this moment, the audience fell into just visiting, and their feelings quickly spread.

The Mayday in each period has an unpredictable appearance. The stage has changed and the mode has changed, but the taste of their music and the emotion of their fans have never changed.

So far, so close

It is said that every five fans should listen to the scene once, and youth is worth it. However, the fans who grabbed the tickets for the Mayday concert must have felt the despair of selling for a second. Who doesn’t want the front row in the rock section, but do we have that character? !

Can you think about it, fans are crazy about grabbing tickets and even buying the front row at a high price, just to enjoy the singer’s high-definition face at close range? (In fact, you can’t see clearly no matter how close you are …) Of course not. They are looking for an organization to gain a sense of belonging in the collective ceremony.

The cost of going to the scene is extremely high. You need to set aside time and money, and be able to stand out in the fierce battle for tickets, and make great efforts to go to this distant appointment. A friend who accidentally gets a ticket to the top of the mountain is likely to see loneliness. All kinds of sadness, hard candy jun even can talk for three days and three nights.

During the current epidemic, many live entertainment went online, and every cloud has a silver lining, a fan who watched the online concert, became the lucky one. After the news of the online concert held on May Day came out, many senior five fans left messages to celebrate: I finally got the ticket! This is the favor of Mayday, and it is also the favor of TME live.

However, it is not easy to do a good job in online concert. Technology, beautiful dance and interactive play will all affect the stage effect. In order to do a good job in this online concert, Mayday has made many careful arrangements in the pre-heating, site layout and interactive process.

Before the start of "Suddenly I really want to see you", official blogs such as Mayday and Believe Music posted the event delivery door, and also distributed exclusive electronic tickets for fans. A large number of netizens spontaneously printed tickets, shared photos in Weibo and friends circle, and even gathered in bars to watch the concert on the same day. TME live also cooperated with H5, who said there was no May appointment in 2020, and took the representative of Mayday as the timeline to accompany everyone to recall the past years.

After this operation, the sense of ceremony of online concert suddenly doubled. Hard candy Jun’s circle of friends was strongly screened by the poster. In addition to making an appointment to watch, they also did not forget to share their stories with Mayday, and the audience’s nostalgia was repeatedly evoked.

The online concert audience is not in sight, so the singer can’t adjust the performance rhythm according to the atmosphere of the scene. Mayday tried many interactive ways for this, and made the stage scene into a musical film full of immersion. Although there is no audience in the huge stadium, the staff are intimately filled with light sticks, which makes the audience feel the warmth of companionship in front of the screen.

Every time I sing a few songs, I will sit down and talk about my family and accompany the audience in a special way of communicating from a distance. but

Smooth lens switching records rich scenes, which not only avoids the boring of a single picture, but also perfectly presents the excellent stage of Mayday. What is even more rare is that when they sing different works, the lights will constantly change with the genre, conveying complex emotions.

A song "Stubborn" stopped, the performance came to an abrupt end, and the audience was still not satisfied. We didn’t get encore, but fortunately we can watch the full-court playback in TME’s QQ music, cool dog music, cool music and national karaoke. Fans who used to complain that they couldn’t keep the wonderful moments of the concert, so I asked for perfection.

Mayday has accompanied us through a long period of youth, and this online concert appointment is only the beginning of a new stop. I hope that for the rest of our lives, we can still stick to our beliefs and cut through thorns. I don’t know if June is good for us, but May is good.

Musk has arrived in Beijing with only one goal: to fully land Tesla’s fully automatic driving in China.

Sudden visit promotes the landing of FSD in China

In May, 2024, the CEO suddenly appeared in Beijing, and the core goal of this trip was to promote Tesla’s fully automatic driving (FSD system) in the China market. Musk has repeatedly stated that FSD is Tesla’s and his most important technical field.

Musk’s trip to Beijing has two major goals. He hopes to be allowed to transmit the vehicle driving data collected by Tesla in China to foreign countries for training the FSD algorithm. Automobile data is very important for the development of driverless technology. Having a large number of driving data in real scenes can greatly improve the accuracy and reliability of the algorithm.

Musk will seek China’s approval for the full implementation of the FSD system in China. At present, FSD has been approved in the United States and other countries and regions, but it has not been approved in China, the world’s largest market. Musk’s trip is intended to convince the China government that Tesla’s FSD system has the ability to operate safely and reliably in complex road conditions.

Goal 1: Training algorithm for data transmission in China.

When Musk was in China, he reiterated that Tesla will invest nearly $10 billion in training and reasoning artificial intelligence this year, especially the AI technology related to driverless driving. This shows that he has high hopes for the landing of FSD in China and is willing to invest a lot of money in training.

To achieve this goal, the key lies in obtaining the permission of China government to transmit the massive vehicle data collected in China to foreign countries. Due to the consideration of data security and privacy protection, China has strict control over cross-border data flow. Musk will start negotiations with China on this trip.

If it is allowed to transmit data, Tesla will be able to optimize and train the algorithm of FSD by using a large number of real driving data collected in China, a complex road environment, thus greatly improving the applicability and safety of the system on the roads in China. This is crucial for the full landing of FSD in China.

Goal 2: Seek the approval of China government for the full implementation of FSD.

Another important goal of Musk is to persuade the China government to approve the full implementation and commercialization of the FSD system in China. At present, FSD has been approved to go on the road in American states, but it has not been approved in China, a huge potential market.

Musk’s trip may provide a lot of test data and evaluation reports for the safety and reliability of China’s FSD system to prove that FSD has the ability to operate safely and reliably in complex urban road environments.

If it can be approved by the government of China, it will be a major breakthrough in the commercialization of FSD on a global scale. China is not only the largest new energy vehicle market in the world, but also one of the countries with the most complicated road conditions. Once FSD has landed in China, it will lay the foundation for its landing in other markets in the world.

China government attitude

Facing the above two demands of Musk, the attitude of China government will directly determine the process of FSD landing in China. Judging from the available information, China has an open but cautious attitude towards the landing of FSD in China.

Has passed the data security certification.

It is worth noting that the cars produced in Tesla Giga Shanghai have passed the automobile data safety certification of China government and become a foreign-funded automobile enterprise with this certification.. This laid the foundation for Tesla to transmit data in China to foreign countries.

All parts of China have lifted the ban on Tesla vehicles, which will help Tesla to further expand in China and create a good environment for FSD to land in China.

Or allow the test demonstration first.

Despite certain convenience, the China municipal government seems to be still cautious at present, or support Tesla to test and demonstrate in a limited range in China, and has not fully approved the full landing and commercialization of FSD in China..

This cautious attitude stems from concerns about the safety of driverless technology. The complicated road traffic environment in China brings great challenges to the applicability of FSD system. The government needs more time to assess the risk of FSD landing in China.

The FSD has not been fully approved yet.

Although Musk’s trip has made some progress, the China government has not yet given the green light for the FSD to fully land in China. Musk’s trip also conveyed Tesla’s sincerity and determination to land FSD in China.

The two sides may further discuss issues such as data transmission, test and demonstration scope, and regulatory rules. If the negotiations go smoothly, the landing of FSD in China is just around the corner.

Progress of FSD landing in China

Although the China government hasn’t completely given the green light yet, after Musk’s visit to Beijing, the process of landing FSD in China is gradually advancing.

Tesla China website updates the purchase page

After Musk’s visit to China, the FSD purchase page on Tesla China official website has changed from "to be launched later" to "to be launched soon", which indicates that the landing process of FSD in China is accelerating.

Previously, Tesla China owners were unable to purchase and use the FSD function without the approval of the China Municipal Government. Buying page updates now means that Tesla is expected to launch FSD service for China car owners in the near future.

Musk invested heavily in AI and driverless technology.

During his stay in China, Musk also revealed that Tesla will invest nearly $10 billion in artificial intelligence and driverless technology this year. This huge investment fully demonstrates Musk’s determination to put FSD on the global stage and his firm confidence in the technology prospect.

This investment will be used for algorithm training, hardware upgrade, test and verification, etc. to continuously improve the performance and security of the FSD system and prepare for its landing in more markets.

Musk attaches so much importance to FSD because he firmly believes that fully automatic driving will completely change the way of travel and become the mainstream technology in the future automobile industry. Once the FSD is fully implemented, it will greatly improve traffic efficiency, reduce accident rate and reduce energy consumption and emissions.

The core goal of Musk’s surprise visit to Beijing is to promote Tesla’s all-FSD in the China market. He hopes to be allowed to transmit the vehicle data collected in China to the training algorithm abroad, and seek the approval of China government for FSD to go on the road in China.

China government is open but cautious about the landing of FSD in China. On the one hand, Tesla has obtained data security certification, and restrictions on its vehicles have been lifted in various places; On the other hand, China has not yet fully approved the full implementation of FSD, and may support a limited range of testing first.

Despite this, after Musk’s visit to China, the landing process of FSD in China is accelerating. Tesla’s China website has updated its FSD purchase page, and Musk will also invest heavily in AI and driverless technology, demonstrating his determination to make FSD a global success.

Looking at the world-Russia-Ukraine conflict, the secret documents of the US military are suspected of leaking, and the degree of US involvement in the Russia-Ukraine conflict is deeper than expected.

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 9 (Xinhua) The New York Times recently reported in succession that a number of suspected secret documents of the U.S. military have recently appeared on Twitter and other social media, including information on Ukrainian forces and weapons allocation, battlefield maps, casualties of both sides of Russia and Ukraine, and even information marked as "top secret".

  On February 19th, in Washington, D.C., a protester took part in a rally in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Xinhua News Agency reporter Liu Jie photo

  As of the 7th, the parties have different views on the authenticity of the document. The US Department of Justice announced an investigation and the Ukrainian government held a high-level emergency meeting. If the document is true, it means that the United States is more deeply involved in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and its efforts to provide information to support Ukraine are more than ever known.

  Highly sensitive

  The New York Times reported on the 6th that some people have recently uploaded a batch of military secrets on social media such as Twitter, "Telegraph" software and four-leaf website, and the number may exceed 100. The mainstream American media reported again on the 7th that a new batch of military secrets involving Ukraine and the Middle East appeared on social media.

  According to many media reports, the US government is trying to "delete posts", but there are still documents circulating on the Internet.

  Based on various sources, some documents are photos of battle maps, with detailed marks and different dates, with a time span of about 5 weeks, and the latest date is March 1. However, although the document contains many military details, it does not involve specific operational plans.

  This is the Pentagon filmed in Arlington, Virginia, USA on August 26th, 2021. Xinhua News Agency reporter Liu Jie photo

  One of the documents contains the training and equipment delivery of Ukrainian recruits from January to April this year, showing that Ukraine is forming 12 brigades of combat troops, 9 of which are trained and replenished by the United States and other North Atlantic Treaty Organization member States. Of these nine brigades, six are scheduled to be in place by March 31st, and the remaining three are scheduled to complete their combat readiness by April 30th. These nine brigades need more than 250 tanks and more than 350 armored vehicles in total.

  These documents also list the ammunition consumption rate of the Ukrainian army, including the "Haima" high-mobility rocket launcher system aided by the United States. The United States claims that this rocket launcher can launch a precise strike against targets such as ammunition depots, infrastructure and troop assembly areas behind the Russian army.

  There is also a document marked as "Top Secret", which lists "the conflict situation as of March 1", including the record that a total of 16,000 to 17,500 Russian soldiers died in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, while more than 70,000 soldiers died in Uzbekistan. This is quite different from the Pentagon’s previous claims that the Russian casualties were nearly 200,000 and the Ukrainian casualties exceeded 100,000.

  The authenticity is disputed.

  The New York Times reported that the first batch of documents appeared to be posted on Discord chat software in early March, citing an analyst of the Dutch investigation website "Ringing Cat".

  According to Reuters’s report on the 7th, three American officials who did not want to be named reported that the Russian side or pro-Russian people distributed these secret documents, but the above officials did not disclose any evidence or details. The Russian embassy in the United States has not responded to relevant questions for the time being.

  Some analysts believe that the military details such as forces and weapons configuration in the document "look real." For example, the ammunition consumption rate of the "Haima" system disclosed in the document has never been disclosed by the US before.

  On September 17, 2020, Ukrainian soldiers participated in a multinational joint military exercise codenamed "Fast Trident -2020" held in Lviv, western Ukraine. Xinhua news agency

  Others believe that although the US has announced the launch of the investigation, it cannot rule out the possibility of the US directing and acting itself.

  The United States and Ukraine are trying to downplay the possible impact of document leakage, but many analysts have regarded this incident as the biggest information leakage since the escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

  Some analysts believe that the leaked documents, whether true or false, will inevitably have a great impact on all parties, involving military deployment, intelligence security and sharing, personnel verification and other aspects, and may even affect the direction of the Russian-Ukrainian war to some extent this spring.

  Under the leadership of the United States, the West continued to send weapons and equipment to Ukraine, providing personnel training and intelligence support, and constantly adding fuel to the fire of this crisis. Although the White House acknowledged that the United States provided Ukraine with "a lot of concrete and timely" Russian-related information, it still claimed that the United States had no intention of directly participating in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

  In response to the US statement, the Russian side has repeatedly refuted that NATO, led by the United States, collects information unfavorable to Russia around the clock and provides advanced weapons to Ukraine. In fact, it has become a participant in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

  Peskov, press secretary of the Russian President, said that "we have no doubt that the United States and NATO are directly or indirectly involved in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict", and the degree of their participation in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is deepening. (Zheng Yuning)

Kia EV5 sold only 104 units in the first month of listing, which is really not worthy of its strength.

According to the latest industry sales data, in November 2023, the monthly retail sales of Kia EV5 in the domestic auto market was 104 units. It should be said that if we simply look at the sales scale, the sales data of KIA EV5 is really hard to be called wonderful, and it should not meet the expectations of the manufacturers.

Kia EV5

However, I think this sales data is of little reference significance. Therefore, as far as the current sales performance is concerned, it cannot be asserted that KIA EV5 has encountered setbacks. In other words, the performance of KIA EV5 in China can still be expected.

Friends who know the auto market should know that KIA EV5, as a brand-new, was officially listed on November 17th, 2023, that is, the opening day of Guangzhou Auto Show.

In other words, in November 2023, Kia EV5 was not the first full month of its listing in the domestic auto market. Obviously, its sales days are short.

Kia EV5

Moreover, generally speaking, the market awareness of a brand-new model needs to be gradually improved in the month when it is launched, so its sales volume will inevitably have a climbing period.

In view of this, Cheyu World has repeatedly expressed a view that the reference significance of the monthly sales of new cars is generally not great, and it cannot be used as the basis for whether new cars can continue to sell well.

As for the market prospect of this model in the domestic auto market, as mentioned above, I think we can still look forward to it. This is because in terms of product strength, the performance of Kia EV5 is still sincere.

Kia EV5

First, in terms of appearance, KIA EV5 is still very helpful. The popular elements, such as daytime running lights and vertical light source, front bumper decorated with black grille and silver ornaments, suspended roof and hidden door handle, large tail roof spoiler and bottom matte decorative board, are all presented in this exhibition.

Second, the battery life is good and it supports fast charging. It is understood that the KIA EV standard battery life version can reach 530 kilometers under specific working conditions.

As for the cruising range of the long-life version, it can reach 720 kilometers. Moreover, it takes only 27 minutes to charge the battery from 30% to 80%.

Kia EV5

Third, in terms of intelligence, KIA EV5 is equipped with a 27-inch integrated triple screen, and is equipped with the latest generation of ccNC intelligent internet entertainment system, which supports a number of practical apps.

Moreover, it supports OTA remote upgrade. In addition, the new car also adopts the Huai-dang operation mode. In the current auto market, this is also an element that is more favored.

What needs to be pointed out is that KIA EV5 has also shown some sincerity in terms of selling price. The actual sales price of some models is 10,000 yuan cheaper than the pre-sale price.

Kia EV5

I think this is more important. To a certain extent, this shows that Kia may be more pragmatic in pricing.

You know, after Kia EV6 was listed in the domestic auto market, the sales performance was not very brilliant. According to the comprehensive sales data of the industry, from August to November 2023, its monthly retail sales were 8, 96, 6 and 6 respectively.

We have said many times in previous articles that KIA EV6 has the strength of World War I simply from the perspective of product strength. The reason why the performance is not very good may be that the price positioning is a factor affecting sales. Therefore, I think it is a wise move that the starting price of KIA EV5 is lower than the pre-sale price.

Kia EV6

In view of this, I am optimistic about KIA EV5 in terms of product strength. As for the sales results in November 2023, it is really not enough to show its strength, and it is not of great reference significance.

Of course, it goes without saying that the current competition in the new energy vehicle market is fierce. As a brand-new model, Kia EV5 will inevitably face certain competition after listing. Here, we hope that it will achieve better sales results in the domestic auto market.

Finally, the sales data of car companies involved in this paper come from the official of car companies; The sales data of the involved models come from the comprehensive sales data of the industry released by the third-party platform;

The data description of the third-party platform shows that it is displayed in strict accordance with the corresponding relationship between sales volume and platform announced by automobile distribution associations and manufacturers, with an accuracy rate of over 99%, which is for reference only.

It is reported that domestic Tesla Model 3 and Model Y will be exported to the Philippines, and delivery is expected to begin early next year.

[TechWeb] On December 18th, according to foreign media reports, more than a month after the opening of the first store, there was also news that Tesla had built its first super charging station in the Philippines, with four V4 super charging piles deployed, just in the Shangcheng Shopping Center of bonifacio Universal City in Taguig, Manila Metropolitan Area, where the first store was located.

Although Tesla’s first store in the Philippines has been opened for more than a month and the first super charging station has been built, their electric cars will not be delivered in the Philippines this year, and the first batch is expected to start delivery early next year.

As for the electric vehicles that Tesla will sell in the Philippines, some foreign media reported that they only sell Model 3 and Model Y, two Model S with high output and more competitive prices, Model S and Model X, which will not be sold for the time being.

In addition, foreign media also mentioned in the report that Model 3 and Model Y sold by Tesla in the Philippines will be imported from Shanghai Super Factory.

As the Shanghai Super Factory with the highest production capacity under Tesla, it is the closest factory to the Philippines and has sufficient production capacity to meet the demand of the Philippine market, so it is not surprising to export to the Philippines.

However, foreign media also mentioned in the report that Tesla, which has a leading market share in many electric vehicles around the world, may still encounter some challenges in the Philippines. Electric vehicles are still new products in the Philippines. Tesla needs to deal with local car owners’ misunderstandings about electric vehicles, including misunderstandings about power, cruising range and reliability.

Although Tesla may face some challenges in the Philippine market, foreign media also mentioned that their electric vehicles have development advantages in the Philippines. Because the country area of the Philippines is relatively small, it is also composed of many islands. The cruising range of Model 3 and Model Y is enough to meet the needs of local users. (Hailan)

Interview with Xiaomi Liu De: The Logic and Value Behind 89 Xiaomi Ecological Chains in Three Years

Liu De, co-founder and vice president of Xiaomi Company and head of Xiaomi ecological chain.

  Xinlang Technology Zhang Jun

  At the end of 2013, Xiaomi started the eco-chain plan and set the goal of investing in 100 eco-chain enterprises within five years. As of June 30, the number of Xiaomi eco-chain enterprises has reached 89, which is getting closer and closer to Lei Jun’s goal.

  In addition to the changes in numbers, Liu De, co-founder and vice president of Xiaomi Company and head of Xiaomi Eco-chain, told Sina Technology that the play of Xiaomi Eco-chain is also changing.

  Take category as an example, from the initial category and field as the standard, to the current user group as the center. Therefore, the Xiaomi ecological chain has also expanded from the original mobile power supply, bracelets and other hardware products to consumer goods such as towels and electric toothbrushes. In the selection of enterprises, Xiaomi Eco-chain has invested in most startup companies before, and will also invest in medium-sized companies in the future. In addition, in the management of eco-chain enterprises, Xiaomi gradually gave up the practice of signing exclusive agreements, maintained moderate competition, and even let some enterprises that did not do well quit.

  With the maturity of the style of play and system, the Xiaomi ecological chain, which originally grew up by relying on the Xiaomi brand dividend, has begun to bring irreplaceable value to Xiaomi in turn.

  Taking Xiaomi’s offline channel Xiaomi Home as an example, Xiaomi Eco-chain provides it with a variety of products, which are combined into a single high-frequency shop through multiple low-frequency products, which is also the secret of Xiaomi Home’s high ping efficiency.

  Recently, Lei Jun, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi, announced at the swearing-in meeting of mobile phone business that the shipment of Xiaomi mobile phones reached 23.16 million units in the second quarter of this year, and resumed rapid growth. Lei Jun also regards the competition for the international market as the third wave of China’s mobile phone industry after the rise of smart phones and the change of machines in the third-and fourth-tier markets.

  In Liu De’s view, with the reappearance of the incremental effect of Xiaomi’s mobile phone, the Xiaomi ecological chain will usher in a new wave of dividends.

  The secret of rise

  Since the Xiaomi Eco-chain Plan was launched at the end of 2013, the companies under Xiaomi Eco-chain have expanded rapidly. In March 2016, this number was 55; In March of this year, the number increased to 77; As of June 30, Liu De revealed that the number of Xiaomi eco-chain enterprises has reached 89.

  Although only more than 30 out of 89 companies have released their products, explosive products such as Xiaomi Mobile Power Supply and mi band have been born, with sales exceeding 10 million. As of March this year, among the 77 companies, there are 16 unicorn companies with annual sales exceeding 100 million yuan and 4 unicorn companies with a valuation exceeding 1 billion US dollars. In 2016, the revenue of Xiaomi Ecological Chain Company has exceeded 15 billion yuan.

  Why can Xiaomi ecological chain rise? In Liu De’s view, the first is the strict standard of investment in Xiaomi ecological chain itself; The second is to enjoy the dividend of Xiaomi; The third is a good time.

  Regarding whether a company deserves to be included in the ecological chain by Xiaomi, Liu De summed up the following principles:

  1. Is it a big field or a big market, because the Xiaomi ecological chain model is bound to make some big markets;

  2. Is there any shortage of products in this market? Only when there are pain points and shortages can you get a knife;

  3. See if the products in this field can be iterated. If they can’t be iterated, the company can’t last;

  4. Is it in line with Xiaomi’s user base? The closer it is to the user base, the better it will be;

  5. Is the team strong in technology and a great knife?

  6. Does the boss have the same values as Xiaomi, not making quick money and being a national enterprise?

  It is on the premise of sharing common values that dozens of companies in the ecological chain can form an alliance and it is possible to jointly launch explosive products.

  In addition to the explosive attributes of eco-chain enterprises and products themselves, Xiaomi bonus is the biggest external factor for the rise of Xiaomi eco-chain. Liu De regards millet as a hot stove, while the ecological chain uses the waste heat around it. Specifically, it is mainly the eco-chain companies that enjoy the dividends of Xiaomi in four aspects.

  1. Xiaomi’s brand bonus, because there is a brand, it is easy to expand the category.

  2, Xiaomi’s user base dividend, Xiaomi has more than 200 million users, many of whom are science and engineering men. What these users need is what Xiaomi wants to do.

  3. Channel dividends, especially Xiaomi’s online sales ability and the whole network sales ability, now have the offline sales ability of Xiaomi House, including the ability of Mijia to have a new platform.

  4. With the growth of Xiaomi’s overseas business, overseas business should increase by 200% or even 300% this year, so opening mobile phones overseas first will open the dividend of overseas markets in the ecological chain.

  With the explosion attribute and Xiaomi bonus, Liu De told Sina Technology that the explosion of products still needs an industrial node.

  He took Xiaomi mobile power supply as an example. In 2013, the global sales of notebook computers declined. Xiaomi judged that there must be a lot of surplus of 18650 batteries that are most commonly used in notebook computers, so Xiaomi mobile power supply decisively adopted 18650 batteries, which not only had high performance and mature technology, but also had a relatively low price at that time, which made Xiaomi mobile power supply win the market with high quality and low price.

  "Including our mi band, Americans have been promoting this for ten years, and suddenly one day it is about to break out, and we will enter the market." Liu De said.

  Play reform

  After Xiaomi’s ecological chain gradually grew, Liu De said that he was often asked, "Xiaomi has invested in so many categories. Where is your boundary?" The problem. In fact, when the products sold by Xiaomi cover air purifiers, rice cookers, even towels and electric toothbrushes, Xiaomi users, media and netizens can’t sit still. How did Xiaomi change from a mobile phone company to a "department store"?

  Faced with all kinds of doubts, Xiaomi shouted the goal of being a "MUJI in science and technology", and officially launched the Mijia brand in March 2016 to specifically carry eco-chain products.

  With the Mijia brand, Xiaomi will not generalize the Xiaomi brand when launching eco-chain products, but will have a more accurate smart home brand. At the same time, on the basis of Mijia brand, the Xiaomi ecological chain will be smoother when products such as sweeping robots and laser tv are launched, and users will feel reasonable and not so exclusive.

  Liu De took Mijia Youpin launched by Mijia as an example. At first, when Mijia Youpin sold towels, users were cursing. "Everyone thinks how Xiaomi sells towels. Are you still a technology company?" Some time ago, Mijia had products and even started selling underwear. At first, I was afraid of being scolded, but as a result, the users didn’t scold again this time. "Many users have accepted it. We started selling tea two days ago, and they can accept it." Liu De said.

  In addition to brand independence, Xiaomi’s investment ideas are also being adjusted.

  Xiaomi ecological chain was originally laid out by fields, such as smart white electricity, personal transportation, toys and so on. Now it is divided by user groups, that is, investing around Xiaomi user groups. "When we pay attention to the user base, we will provide services and products for him around the core user base of 224 million Xiaomi. You will find that it doesn’t matter whether we consider the boundary. As long as he needs it, we will do it early, if he strongly needs it, we will do it early, close to the mobile phone, and late from the mobile phone. "Liu De told Sina Technology.

  Correspondingly, in terms of specific categories, the Xiaomi ecological chain used to be more about technology, 3C and household appliances, but now it has begun to pay attention to some fast-moving consumer goods and daily necessities. "It is getting farther and farther away from mobile phones, and the layout circle is getting bigger and bigger."

  Now the Xiaomi ecological chain has also changed in enterprise selection and enterprise management.

  At first, Xiaomi paid more attention to the start-up team, thinking that they were flexible and easier to adjust the team, with less investment in products and less risk. Now, Liu De believes that Xiaomi has invested in 80 or 90 companies, and the basic plate is already very good. Therefore, when looking for a company, he will start to pay attention to medium-sized companies, even invisible champions in some fields, and companies with first-Mover advantage.

  In the management of eco-chain enterprises, Xiaomi will sign an exclusive agreement with the invested enterprises in the first two years of investment, and one investor in each field will promise not to invest in the second one within two years. "Two years later, the exclusive agreement period ended, and then there was no exclusive agreement, because we found that the exclusive agreement had the advantages of concentrating on fighting a big battle, but it also had some disadvantages. Once there is exclusivity, it will affect the competition of this company. " Liu De reflected.

  For example, he said that Xiaomi had given the field of driving recorder to an eco-chain company before, but this company did not come out with products for two years, which led to Xiaomi not entering the field of driving recorder for two years. "This opportunity is too great. In Xiaomi’s business system, I want to be a driving recorder, and I will get great benefits if I go public early. Therefore, this form gives various eco-chain companies the feeling of starting to delimit the site. Our management is becoming more and more mature, and the companies that invest later will not plan the site, or maintain a certain degree of competition, otherwise we will encounter great competition outside the ecological chain system. "

  In addition, even if an eco-chain enterprise is invested by Xiaomi, it will not sit back and relax completely. Liu De revealed to Sina Technology that at present, two companies have been eliminated by the ecological chain system, one is a pet tracker, and the other is a maternal and child air purifier. "We told him not to do this. There is no such market segment. He firmly believes that there is such a market, but there is actually no such market." Liu De said that in the end, these two enterprises were eliminated.

  Borrow from Xiaomi

  While achieving rapid growth with the help of Xiaomi dividend, Xiaomi ecological chain is also of great significance to Xiaomi.

  After Xiaomi reached the top of domestic smartphone shipments in 2014, Xiaomi failed to complete the shipment target of 80 million units in 2015. Lei Jun bluntly said that it was not OK, and said that 2016 would be happy. Then in 2016, IDC data said that Xiaomi only sold 41.5 million mobile phones in the whole year, plunging 36% year-on-year.

  In the difficult two years of Xiaomi, Liu De believes that the value of Xiaomi’s ecological chain is crucial.

  "The first is to maintain the activity. While making up lessons, we are consolidating, adjusting the team and adjusting the products, while maintaining the activity. The second is to keep the heat. We constantly have new products that can keep the heat of the market and the heat of the media. " Liu De said.

  The greater value is to take the opportunity to lay out new areas, such as the Internet of Things. According to the data released by Liu De at the annual conference of Mijia in 2017, as of May 31 this year, the total number of networked devices based on Xiaomi MIOT platform has exceeded 60 million, which has gradually spread all over the world in terms of geographical distribution, and the Xiaomi ecological chain has become the largest intelligent hardware platform in the world.

  Another function of Xiaomi ecological chain exceeds Liu De’s expectation, that is, the expansion of user groups.

  At the end of 2015, half of the Xiaomi ecological chain was Xiaomi users.Users and non-Xiaomi Android users each account for a quarter. By 2016, the proportion of Xiaomi users has dropped to one third, and the proportion of Apple users and non-Xiaomi Android users has also risen to one third. "This year, I think that non-Xiaomi Android users and Apple users will further increase, which shows that the products of Xiaomi Eco-chain are slowly beginning to exceed Xiaomi’s original user system, and more and more Apple users and more non-Xiaomi users come to use our products." Liu De said that Xiaomi’s eco-chain products have played a role in expanding the user base and developing new users for Xiaomi.

  At the same time, Liu De said that as a Xiaomi ecological chain that used to rely on Xiaomi mobile phone dividends, it is time to help Xiaomi mobile phones.

  In the two years when Xiaomi’s mobile phone encountered Waterloo, it was also the two years of the rise of offline channels. Lei Jun, who led Xiaomi to make up the offline channel, shouted the goal of opening 1,000 Xiaomi homes in three years, and the support of ecological chain is indispensable to opening and maintaining 1,000 Xiaomi homes.

  In Liu De’s view, Xiaomi has completed Xiaomi’s product portfolio through the layout of the ecological chain in recent years. Combining multiple low-frequency products into a shop with high-frequency purchases is also the secret of Xiaomi’s home to achieve high ping efficiency.

  Recently, Lei Jun announced that the shipment of Xiaomi mobile phone reached a record high in the second quarter of this year. With the expansion of Xiaomi’s offline channels and overseas markets, the mutual borrowing effect between Xiaomi’s mobile phone and Xiaomi’s ecological chain will be further revealed.

Huawei’s consumer business was renamed, and Yu Chengdong entered the "New World"

"The name of Huawei’s consumer business has gone through ten years. Today, we changed our name to Huawei’s terminal business and entered the commercial market in an all-round way." On the afternoon of April 20th, Yu Chengdong said at an online product launch conference. His position has also become "Huawei managing director, terminal business CEO, smart car solution BU CEO".
In 2021, the revenue of Huawei’s consumer business fell by nearly half, which dragged down the overall revenue. As the head of Huawei’s terminal consumer goods, Yu Chengdong has never stopped trying to break through. Huawei’s whole-house smart business, which started last year, has released the second generation of products this year; The AITO brand, which cooperates with Xiaokang Sailis, has begun to deliver the first car on a large scale, and many key components, including intelligent cockpit, are from Huawei.
Huawei’s layout on commercial terminals has a long history, and many products including desktops have been launched before. This time, the consumer business was directly renamed as terminal business, which showed Yu Chengdong’s determination to enter this new continent.
Huawei commercial terminal layout.

Consumer business revenue has fallen sharply, and Huawei’s new business breakthrough has already begun.

Yu Chengdong said at the press conference that in the future, Huawei’s terminal business will fully cover two modules: consumer products and commercial products. Consumer products will continue to focus on serving mass consumers, while commercial products will focus on serving government and corporate customers.
The consumer business, which once occupied half of Huawei’s revenue, is facing a severe test. On March 28th, nearly a month ago, Huawei released its 2021 financial report. The financial report shows that the terminal business, which relies heavily on advanced process chips, has been greatly affected by external repression, achieving sales revenue of 243.4 billion yuan, down by nearly half year-on-year. In the three restricted business areas of mobile phone, tablet and PC, Huawei’s revenue has declined.
Although the operator business and enterprise business remained relatively stable, under the "drag" of consumer business, Huawei’s operating income in 2021 also dropped from 891.4 billion yuan last year to 636.8 billion yuan, a considerable decline. In the third year of Huawei’s external repression, its revenue declined for the first time.
Under the pressure of revenue, Huawei is also actively seeking new business areas. On the evening of April 3rd, Huawei Heartfelt Community announced that on March 30th, the company held the inaugural meeting of the second batch of "Legions" in Zone K of Huawei Bantian Base in Shenzhen. Ren Zhengfei and company leaders attended the meeting, awarding flags to the ten "legions" of Huawei and making speeches. The ten legions formed this time are Electric Power Digitization Corps, Government Affairs First Netcom Corps, Airport and Track Corps, Interactive Media Corps, Sports Health Corps, Display New Nuclear Corps, Park Corps, Wide Area Network Corps, Data Center Base Corps and Digital Station Corps.
It is understood that Huawei’s "Legion" model is to gather basic research scientists, technical experts, product experts, engineering experts, sales experts and delivery and service experts in one department, focusing on engineering developers and aiming at a single scene (for example, coal mine, smart photovoltaic, smart highway, etc.). This new organizational structure is conducive to breaking the boundaries of various departments of the existing company, and in a short period of time, "quickly assembling resources, interspersed with operations, improving efficiency, and deepening a field", thus achieving rapid business growth.
The Legion Model, together with the existing BG and BU, entrusts Huawei with the ambition of transforming thousands of industries with technology, and it is also a realistic path for Huawei to quickly develop new business and "harvest food" in a short time. The consumer business, which is also in urgent need of new revenue sources, has also set its sights on smart homes and commercial terminals.
One-handed whole house intelligence, one-handed AITO car, Yu Chengdong played a number of transformation cards
In the past year or so, Huawei’s mobile phone conferences have decreased, while Yu Chengdong has appeared more and more in the conferences of various new products. In addition to commercial office products, the other two striking power points are smart homes and smart cars.
On March 16th, this year, Huawei held the spring conference of whole house intelligence and whole scene new products, and launched a new generation of whole house intelligence solution. The central control panel was equipped with HarmonyOS system for the first time. The price of a typical apartment with 80㎡ (2 bedrooms and 1 living room) starts from 39,999 yuan. This is a significant drop from the price of the previous generation solution launched last year, which started at 100,000 yuan.
Yu Chengdong said that Huawei has now opened 64 authorized stores in 43 cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Changsha, Wenzhou, Hefei, Chengdu, Nanjing and Fuzhou, and will complete the coverage of 500 stores this year.
"At present, most smart homes are single-point intelligence with smart items as the core, simple systems and initial scenes, and the connection is mainly based on’ point control points’, lacking system-level scene linkage." Yu Chengdong said at the press conference that HarmonyOS Zhilian Ecology has built a relatively complete subsystem. At present, more than 1,900+brand partners have settled in the Harmony OS family, and 4,500+smart items can access the whole house intelligence.

In the automotive field, Huawei, which has repeatedly reiterated that it "does not build cars", has also acted frequently in the automotive field. In May, 2021, Yu Chengdong took over the post of CEO of BU, a smart car solution. In December, he presided over the release of M5, the first car of AITO brand, and shouted the goal of "annual sales of 300,000 units". AITO is a brand that Huawei cooperates with Xiaokang Sailis. Its key equipment such as intelligent cockpit are provided by Huawei and equipped with HarmonyOS system.
In March of this year, AITO asked M5 to officially start delivery, and it only took more than 70 days from release to listing. Although a few days agoYuIn an interview, he admitted that "300,000 cars can’t be built under the condition that the global cars are short of cores and pieces", but Yu Chengdong still stressed that Huawei will definitely help the car factories that work closely with them to be the first in China and the first in the world.
However, in today’s smart car market, even Huawei will inevitably go through a hard battle in the battle for territory between major manufacturers and brands. In contrast, the commercial terminal, which is only separated from the consumer business by a wall, seems to be a new land that is easier to produce food quickly.
HarmonyOS system has become an important starting point, and the security and controllability of software and hardware have brought obvious advantages to Huawei.

In 2021, while the business of mobile phone tablet declined sharply, Huawei’s wearable devices, big screens and other businesses showed very obvious growth, among which the revenue of wearable devices and smart screens increased by more than 30% year-on-year. There are more than 220 million Huawei devices equipped with HarmonyOS (HarmonyOS system), making it the fastest-growing mobile terminal operating system in the world.
Not surprisingly, there are businesses that have increased significantly, which are basically businesses with relatively low requirements on chip manufacturing. In this kind of business, Huawei’s HarmonyOS system has also become a weapon to expand its territory. At the press conference, Yu Chengdong said that Huawei will continuously enrich the product categories such as commercial notebooks, desktops and monitors, flat panels, smart screens, and wear, and focus on providing commercial office solutions for six major industries, including government and education, medical care, manufacturing, transportation, finance, and energy.
"Yu Chengdong had hoped to sell cars of cooperative brands to make up for mobile phones and expand Huawei’s smart selection categories to reduce the impact of the decline in terminal sales revenue, but cars are long-term products and it is difficult to bring high sales revenue in a short period of time." Fu Liang, an independent analyst in the telecommunications industry, said that Huawei’s commercial terminals have their own operating systems, with controllable software and hardware, which are safer and more reliable. Huawei has obvious advantages when entering the government and state-owned enterprises.

Yu Chengdong emphasized that Huawei’s flat panel, smart screen, wearable and other products will rely on the 17 standard customization capabilities and 9 open capabilities brought by the HarmonyOS system to meet the multi-dimensional management needs of the government and various enterprises for terminal equipment, enabling thousands of industries. Customers can customize the brand Logo, settings, desktop, and also open the peripheral capabilities, SDK, and industry system docking capabilities to meet the various customization needs of commercial customers.
However, product procurement in the field of government and enterprises is quite different from personal consumption in the market in logic and play. Although Huawei has a huge carrier business and enterprise business, whether its experience and resources can be reused by the renamed "terminal business" needs more observation. However, Yu Chengdong’s determination to March into the New World has been shown to everyone in this name change.
