Guo Fucheng

　　Speaking to fans in Shanghai yesterday, Guo Fucheng, who was attending a business event in Shanghai, issued a "no marriage" declaration: "Now is the peak of my career, and I will not get married until I complete my dream of a stage musical." He also hinted that he had reached a tacit understanding with his gossip girlfriend Xiong Dailin on the issue of marriage.

　　"I’m a workaholic, and everyone around me knows it."

　　Yesterday, Guo Fucheng appeared in Shanghai to participate in the opening ceremony of Longines three major watch stores. Since the ceremony was divided into two sites: Meimei general merchandise on Huaihai Road and New World on Nanjing Road, Guo Fucheng also ran to two places non-stop in an hour. The fans present were crazy everywhere he went, especially in front of the New World venue on Nanjing Road. Fans surrounded the entire square. Guo Fucheng is now bound to be asked about his affair with model Xiong Dailin every time he attends the event. Yesterday, the media’s questions started with the watch. As an image ambassador, will Guo Fucheng give his girlfriend Xiong Dailin a watch? At this time, Guo Fucheng first moved out of his mother: "I do have the habit of giving watches. Last year, my mother gave her a Longines for her birthday as a birthday gift!" The media were naturally not satisfied with this answer and continued to "press", but the battle-hardened Guo Fucheng still answered the wrong question and took out another spokesperson of the brand, Liu Jialing, as a shield. Seeing that Guo Fucheng has been avoiding talking about Xiong Dailin, the media took a roundabout tactic and asked Guo Fucheng if he has plans to get married and whether he will catch up with this year’s star marriage wave. In this regard, Guo Fucheng began to issue a declaration of not getting married: "Everyone’s opportunities are different. I have been climbing up from a small entertainer to today, and I will still focus on work. I am now 43 years old, and now I am the most mature and blooming time. I want to make good use of this time. The past ten years have been training, and now whether it is a movie or a stage, it is the most mature. Everyone’s best time will pass, so I hope to take advantage of my best state to put more effort into my work, so I really haven’t thought about other things, but work very single-mindedly, I hope everyone can understand. "He also said that he has always had an ideal, that is, to produce a stage drama that integrates his music and movies, which is his pursuit in the past few years and his ultimate goal. He also released a harsh sentence:" I think, if I don’t finish this one day, I won’t think about getting married one day. "As for not wanting to get married all the time, whether I am worried about my girlfriend being unhappy. Guo Fucheng is not worried at all," I am a workaholic, and the opposite sex around me knows it and supports me very much. "Interestingly, Guo Fucheng immediately said:" You know what I mean, right? "

　　"I don’t know how much I lost."

　　In addition to the media attention on Guo Fucheng’s emotional problems, whether the recent financial crisis has been affected is also of concern to the media. Guo Fucheng admitted that he had lost money in the financial crisis, and he lost a lot on the stocks he bought, but he was unwilling to disclose the specific amount. "My stocks are all taken care of by stockbrokers, and I don’t know how much I lost, but I have a belief that as long as I don’t throw them away, they will one day rise back, and then I will not lose money." As for real estate, he said that the luxury houses he bought are all for his own use, so he doesn’t care about the price drop of the house. As for his own investment experience, he admitted that he usually invests in buying luxury watches and cars. At present, he already owns cars worth tens of millions of yuan.

　　Later, Guo Fucheng also revealed that despite the current financial crisis, he will spend energy and money to establish the Guo Fucheng Charity Cup racing competition next year, but unlike the previous Jackie Chan Charity Racing, this is a year-round event. Guo Fucheng will also transform into a racing driver to participate in the annual race. At that time, all the funds raised from various places will be placed in the "Guo Fucheng Foundation" named after him. Morning Post reporter, Luo Junpeng

Since becoming a father, Deng Chao has become a "Baby Dazzler", sharing the joys and sorrows of his children on Weibo from time to time. On the 25th, Deng Chao exposed the warm chat records with his daughter through Weibo. Xiaohua missed her father so much that she cried because she couldn’t find her father when she was dreaming, and agreed with her father that she must call her in her dream, which was very warm.

Deng Chao posted the chat records with his daughter Xiaohua, and said: "4-year-old Xiaohua sister." From the chat records, Xiaohua missed her father so much that she couldn’t find it in her dreams, so she cried in a hurry, and no one answered the phone. Deng Chao replied that his father was at work and called his daughter after get off work. Xiaohua and her father agreed that his father must call her in her dream, which was very warm and happy.

After this Weibo was exposed, netizens watched and left messages saying: "Xiaohua is so cute! Warm heart little baby!" "Sister Xiaohua is really Dad’s little cotton-padded jacket, and a picture of super tears on the screen appeared in front of her eyes." "Four-year-old Sister Xiaohua can already express her miss for Dad very well!"

　　Domestic Android channel pairThe issue of high product share has attracted attention again.

　　The reason is that Tencent’s recent hit mobile game "Dungeons and Warriors: Origins" announced that from June 20, some Android platform app stores will no longer be listed. The industry believes that Tencent’s move is related to the long-standing high proportion of Android app stores.

　　Head Drop Android Channel

　　"Dungeon and Warrior: Origin" (hereinafter referred to as "DNF") is a popular mobile game recently launched by Tencent. As a work derived from the classic IP of "Dungeon and Warrior", "DNF" has performed well since its launch.

　　According to seven wheat data, "DNF" since late May online, long-term top the chart of major games. Point data, "DNF" contributed more than two-thirds of the domestic new game market in May, less than two weeks in May, "DNF" download more than 45 million, estimated revenue of $51.29 million (about RMB 371 million).

　　At the beginning of the launch of "DNF", it was normally available in major app stores including Android channels. However, on the afternoon of June 19, the game operation team issued an announcement that from June 20, "DNF" mobile games will no longer be available in some Android platform app stores. The reason given by the team is: the contract expires.

　　However, Tencent Games’ move is believed to be related to the high proportion of the Android app store channel. The app store is a core channel for game distribution, but it is also a costly channel.

　　At present, many domestic game products use a joint operation model between game manufacturers and channel providers such as mobile end point manufacturers and third-party app platforms. Game manufacturers are responsible for game development and testing, launch, and channel providers are responsible for providing game display promotion, download and installation, and billing services. When players complete the payment, the channel provider will pay the game developer a revenue share.

　　The app store generally takes 30% for applications including games. The Android app store channel that makes manufacturers "love it or hate it" takes a higher proportion, and the general proportion is 50%, that is, after deducting relevant costs and expenses, the game flow and the game manufacturer each get 50%.

　　Although leading game companies have some room for gaming, the data previously disclosed by many class A share game companies shows that the app store should also divide at least 40% of the game flow. Under the high proportion of the draw, in recent years, many game manufacturers have chosen to give up the release of Android app stores, especially some well-known game products with high flow.

　　A few years ago, the two major game makers, miHoYo and Lilith, announced that due to "failure to reach an agreed terms of cooperation", miHoYo’s blockbuster products "Yuan Shen" and Lilith’s products "The Awakening of Nations" could not be downloaded from Xiaomi and Huawei app stores during the public beta.

　　Last August 23rd,When the public beta of its key game "All-Star Streetball Party" was released, the official announcement did not put any Android channels on the shelves, and decided to take out the 1.50 billion yuan divided into channels and give rebates to players present on all major platforms. Other products under Tencent Games are currently on the shelves of major Android app stores, but DNF, a key product, will no longer be on the Android app store, which will still have a profound impact.

　　Game company channels are expensive

　　The Android app store has long been criticized by the industry. Although game makers have taken occasional measures such as delisting, they have not changed the industry landscape.

　　The product manager of an app store of a domestic mobile phone manufacturerTimes E Company reporters analyzed that for app stores, games and other applications are the most important source of revenue. In addition to directly receiving game revenue, there are also advertising and bidding ranking revenue from game manufacturers. Games occupy an important position in the app store ecosystem.

　　Shi Jiangang, the co-founder of Liangjianghu, also said in an interview with the Times reporter that the current share ratio is determined by the location of the channel provider, which naturally has the ability to negotiate prices. The reason why the app store is strong is mainly because it can push game products to users at almost zero cost, and the value created for the game is huge, which cannot be replaced by other methods.

　　In this context, except for some relatively strong game products that can be released through their own channels and generate good revenue, most games are still difficult to leave the app store channel.

　　From the data disclosed by many game companies, channel costs are indeed an important part of the operating costs of game companies. Such as class A sharing companyThe financial report shows that the company’s joint operators will deduct the actual recharge amount of game players from the relevant channel fees, and calculate the share according to the proportion agreed upon in the agreement. After the two parties check the data and confirm that it is correct, the company confirms the operating income.

　　In 2022 and 2023, the channel cost in the operating cost will be 257 million yuan and 214 million yuan respectively, accounting for 45% and 52% of the operating cost respectively, which is much higher than the cost of game sharing, labor, copyright, and production fee amortization in the same period.

　　Hong Kong Stock CompanyAccording to the financial report, in 2023, the company’s channel cost was 595 million yuan, an increase of 35% year-on-year, accounting for more than 70% of the company’s cost of sales. In 2023, the gross profit margin fell from 64.4% in the previous year to 59.8%. The company said that the decline in gross profit margin was mainly due to the decline in related game revenue and the increase in channel costs.

　　Another Hong Kong-listed game companyThe financial report shows that in 2023, the company’s sales revenue will increase, but the company’s payment channel cost and distribution platform share will also increase by 23.8% to 523 million yuan, which is also the "big part" of the sales cost in 2023.

Sanya Phoenix International Airport: When returning to the airport after receiving short-distance passengers –
Taxi accessFast Queuing Channel

Hainan Daily, Sanya, August 17 (Reporter, Xu Huiling) Hainan Daily reporter learned from the Sanya Municipal Transportation Bureau on August 17 that in order to standardize the operation order of taxis at Sanya Phoenix International Airport, effectively improve the service level of drivers, and solve the problem of short-distance passenger travel difficulties from the source, taking into account the interests of the majority of drivers, the bureau decided to open a fast queuing channel for vehicles after picking up and dropping off short-distance passengers at Sanya Phoenix International Airport from August 17.

According to the plan, the Sanya Municipal Transportation Bureau will set up a lane near the parking building in the three taxi queuing lanes at Sanya Phoenix International Airport as a fast queuing lane. If the driver picks up passengers in the ordinary queuing lane and meets the short-distance conditions (the destination is within 10 kilometers), he can receive a fast queuing ticket from the on-site coordinator. With the coupon, he can enter the fast queuing lane within 1 hour and enjoy the right of priority for passenger distribution.

The relevant person in charge of the Sanya Municipal Transportation Bureau introduced that this move will effectively alleviate the problem of short-distance passengers hailing, so that drivers and passengers can achieve a "win-win", passengers do not worry about being picked by drivers, and drivers do not have to worry about queuing for an hour or two to pull short-distance passengers.

On June 19, according to LatePost, NIO’s intelligent driving R & D department recently completed the structural adjustment. Previously, NIO’s intelligent driving R & D department was divided into perception, regulation and control, and integration. After the adjustment, the perception and regulation teams were merged into a large model team, and the integration team was reorganized into a delivery team. The merged large model team was overseen by Peng Chao, the former head of NIO’s perception team.

Regarding the authenticity of the above news, the Daily Economic News reporter immediately checked with the NIO, but no reply was received as of press time.

On the evening of June 20, an unnamed person familiar with the matter told reporters that NIO did make structural adjustments to its intelligent driving R & D team. However, the other party did not disclose the specific details of the adjustment.

Zhu Xichan, a professor at the School of Automotive Science at Tongji University and director of the Institute of Automotive Safety Technology, said in an interview with reporters that NIO’s move is more to adapt to the development trend of large models. "Tesla’s FSD V12 version has shown excellent autonomous driving capabilities end-to-end, and the autonomous driving AI technology route has been established." Zhu Xichan believes that after the automotive industry enters the second half of intelligence, the competition will mainly focus on autonomous driving technology.

Architecture adjustment Want to explore end-to-end large models?

According to public data, there are currently about 1,500 people in the NIO smart driving team. "With the launch of the big model, the autonomous driving technology has been transformed from the algorithm-based model of the past to the data-driven model, that is, the end-to-end big model." Ji Xuehong, a professor and director of the Automotive Industry Innovation Research Center at North China University of Technology, said that the integration of NIO’s sensing and regulation teams is the need for the organizational structure to serve the development of enterprise technology.

It is reported that the restructured autonomous driving R & D department is still in charge of Ren Shaoqing, vice president of NIO’s intelligent driving R & D. After the adjustment of the intelligent driving R & D department, Ren Shaoqing once conveyed to the team: to give up the traditional paradigm of "perception-decision-regulation" that the industry has used for many years. This also means that NIO will more clearly explore the use of end-to-end large models to achieve high-level intelligent driving.

Zhu Xichan told reporters that NIO’s original modular autonomous driving algorithm team structure was divided into "perception", "regulation and control" and "evaluation", but after reaching the end-to-end large model, the division of departments is unreasonable. "In order to adapt to the new algorithm structure, the administrative structure of [NIO intelligent driving] can be optimized to break down departmental barriers and achieve more efficient development," Zhu Xichan analyzed.

Chen Guoping, executive director of Haosu Capital, told reporters that from the current point of view, the intelligent driving development program has been fully transformed into end-to-end autonomous driving, which has become an option for car companies. It turns out that perception, regulation, and decision execution are the R & D paths of traditional autonomous driving. The neural networks algorithm is used to form this simulated human driving decision through the accumulation of training data.

"With the comprehensive change of Tesla’s FSD driving decision model, the end-to-end large model output method skips the original traditional perception-decision-execution path, and calls the mainstream decision to drive the driving behavior in full accordance with the empirical algorithm, reducing the load on the perceived computing power technical parameters. The iteration speed will be faster and faster, and the cost of the smart driving solution will be lower and lower." Chen Guoping said that the new car manufacturing forces choose the end-to-end large model to merge and revoke the original organizational structure corresponding to the technology research and development path.

In an interview with reporters, He Xiaopeng, chairperson and CEO of XPeng Motors, said that in the previous smart driving scheme, technically speaking, the car was handled separately in terms of perception, positioning, planning, and control, and each link was not related. Therefore, when the vehicle encounters some scenarios, it will hesitate because of the rules written by humans. After the end-to-end large model gets on the car, the vehicle can directly output the control of the vehicle through the input of the sensor, and the smart driving will be more "human-like".

In He Xiaopeng’s view, the end-to-end smart driving model is adopted, which can be iterated every two days, and the smart driving capacity enhancement is 30 times in the next 18 months. The end-to-end big model means that automatic assisted driving will shift to fully autonomous driving.

Domestic car companies accelerate the deployment of autonomous driving

Speculation about the reasons behind the restructuring of NIO’s intelligent driving R & D department is mixed. Some people believe that NIO’s move is affected by the approaching time of Tesla’s FSD entry into China. However, Yang Weibin, an expert on new energy vehicles and batteries, told reporters that the adjustment of NIO’s intelligent driving R & D team is not directly related to Tesla’s FSD entry into China. "Because NIO and Tesla use two different intelligent driving technology routes, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is not possible to completely judge which solution is better at present," Yang Weibin said.

Zhu Xichan also said that the reorganization of NIO’s intelligent driving R & D department has nothing to do with whether Tesla FSD enters China or not, but is mainly affected by the end-to-end model technology of Tesla FSD V12 version. "As the world’s leading company in autonomous driving technology, the gradual landing of Tesla FSD has pointed out the development direction and technical route of smart cars for the industry." Zhu Xichan said that with the improvement of the technical capabilities of the end-to-end model of Tesla FSD V12 version, even if it does not enter China, the autonomous driving technology of domestic car companies such as NIO will shift to the direction of large models.

In March this year, Tesla began to push the end-to-end FSD V12 to North American users on a large scale. Recently, it was reported that the Shanghai Autonomous Driving Demonstration Zone has issued a road test license to Tesla, and the FSD may be testing. In response, the reporter checked with Tesla China on June 21, but no response was received as of press time.

Ji Xuehong also said that Tesla is currently the best company in autonomous driving technology. Whether it enters China or not, it will guide more and more car companies to make more investment in autonomous driving technology. "As a’catfish ‘in the field of autonomous driving, Tesla will accelerate the layout and force of car companies in the field of autonomous driving." Ji Xuehong explained that in addition to NIO, XPeng Motors, Li Auto, Huawei and other car companies, more and more traditional car companies are also increasing the layout of autonomous driving technology direction.

On June 20, Zhang Xinghai, chairperson (founder) of Cyrus Group, announced that Cyrus will firmly pursue the development of smart-electric integration under software-defined vehicles, and strive to explore solutions for intelligent driving and intelligent safety. "At present, the AITO cars produced by Cyrus have driving auxiliary features, of which two-thirds have high-order intelligent driving functions, and the auxiliary driving functions account for one-third." Zhang Xinghai said.

In Yang Weibin’s view, car companies are doing theory in the "first half" and practice in the "second half". "Car companies will take advantage of the opportunity of large-scale demonstration of domestic smart driving technology, expand the number of cities where smart driving is applied, and continue to iterate and optimize and upgrade." Yang Weibin said that there is still a long way to go to fully realize autonomous driving.

Daily economic news

In the just-concluded Lei Jun annual speech, Lei Jun will tell everyone about his entrepreneurial journey, the 10 most difficult choices, and the most frustrating day in the past decade.

When it comes to Xiaomi’s listing, Lei Jun told a few short stories.

The first is pricing and breaking. In his speech, Lei Jun recalled the situation of Xiaomi’s listing breaking. In early 2018, after repeated discussions, Xiaomi finally confirmed its listing in Hong Kong. At that time, the investment bank gave a valuation of 17 Hong Kong dollars to 22 Hong Kong dollars per share.

Lei Jun said, "Almost all entrepreneurs will choose to be more expensive without hesitation.We did not hesitate to choose the lowest price because we want Xiaomi’s stock to be as well-priced as our productsOur wishes are so beautiful and simple, but the reality has disappointed us a bit. "

Xiaomi Group share price

"On July 9, 2018, the much-anticipated Xiaomi IPO came, with more than 600 people in attendance. This was the first company in Hong Kong with the same shares and different rights, so everyone was very excited at that time, hoping that the stock price would skyrocket as soon as it opened. In such an atmosphere, the market opened, and the result broke," Lei Jun said.

Lei Jun said that he and Xiaomi co-founder Lin Bin hid in the utility room of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at the time. At the thank you banquet, Lei Jun said: "I’m sorry everyone, but we will work hard to make IPO investors at least double their profits."

On September 2, 2019, when Xiaomi Group’s Hong Kong stock price fell to HK $8.28,Compared with the IPO price, it has been halved. At that time, almost everyone was about to collapse, and some even thought it would fall to HK $4.…

"During that time, I was particularly reluctant to meet investors. One investor insisted on meeting me. As soon as he sat down, he only exchanged pleasantries for a few rounds, and he said rudely, how did you make me lose so much money? I really don’t know how you did it.From Xiaomi’s strategy, to Xiaomi’s products, to Xiaomi’s management, he trained me as a primary school student for more than an hour.My shirt was wet at the time. After the meeting, I sat alone in the conference room for a long time. At that moment, I was very desperate. "

After bottoming out, Xiaomi’s share price began a year and a half-long rally, hitting 35.9 Hong Kong dollars at the beginning of this year, which is double the issue price.

Lei Jun said, "After the share price of Xiaomi doubled compared to the IPO price, I had no pressure. I uninstalled the stock trading software such as Futu, Tiger Finance, Flush, Great Wisdom, Snowball, and Optional Stocks, and never watched it again".

"From tomorrow onwards, be a happy person, feed horses, chop firewood, and travel the world." Lei Jun said, this is how he felt at the time.

Lei Jun Releases Xiaomi Mi Mix 4Xiaomi wants to become the first in the world in three years

This evening, Lei Jun also released the latest work to explore the field of black technology – Xiaomi MIX4.

Under the trend of more and more homogeneity in the performance and appearance of smartphones, differentiation has become a breakthrough point that mobile phone manufacturers are competing for. After taking advantage of the ultimate cost performance and MIUI to capture the city, Xiaomi knows that whether it is to enhance the brand, attack the high-end market, or remain competitive in the fierce mobile phone market, it needs to come up with "black technology" that can better impress consumers.

In 2016, Xiaomi launched the first full-screen concept phone, Xiaomi MIX, officially launching the journey to explore black technology.

Many people call Sharp’s AQUOS phone the pioneer of the full screen. Indeed, in terms of form, Xiaomi MIX is similar to it. If Sharp’s AQUOS phone is the pioneer of the three-sided borderless, then Xiaomi MIX should be regarded as the leader of the "full screen". Whether it is a full screen or not, the screen ratio is the most intuitive indicator. The screen ratio of Xiaomi MIX reached 93.1%, and the screen ratio of the general mobile phone was only about 70% at that time.

In order to achieve the effect of full screen, Xiaomi MIX cancelled the traditional earpiece and replaced it with a cantilever beam piezoelectric ceramic acoustic system. The front-facing camera was reduced by 50% and moved under the phone, and the fingerprint was unlocked on the back. From the front, the impact of the whole screen of Xiaomi MIX really made people have infinite reverie about the "full screen" at that time.

Due to its pioneering full-screen design, the Mi MIX was permanently collected by the Finnish National Design Museum, becoming the first Chinese product in the museum’s collection and the first modern smartphone.

In terms of appearance, Xiaomi MIX2 inherits the design of the MIX 1. In order to increase the grip, it persuaded Google to use an 18:9 screen ratio. At the same time, the ceramic back cover on the MIX 1 was upgraded to a Unibody integrated ceramic body, optimizing the look and feel of the full screen.

MIX 3 is another attempt by Xiaomi to explore the full screen, combining magnetic power with the slide structure, and the magnetic power slide rail design has also made Xiaomi MIX 3 jokingly called "decompression artifact" by netizens.

The Xiaomi MIX Alpha completely broke through the boundaries of the full screen, and the surround screen design made the entire body wrapped by the screen lock, with a screen ratio of 180.6%. However, the difficulty of mass production of this phone is too great, and it is still only in the concept stage.

The release of Xiaomi MIX 4 this time still represents Xiaomi’s exploration on the road to full screen.

In order to make the front screen more complete, Xiaomi MIX4 uses a CUP full screen, which hides the front-facing camera under the screen, which is commonly known as the under-screen camera technology. The technical difficulty of the under-screen camera is how to improve the light transmittance of the screen to ensure that the camera is not disturbed by the screen when working. Xiaomi MIX4’s approach is to use micro-drill arrangement and transparent leads, and redesign the circuit layout so that light can pass through the pixels.

The whole screen is a 6.67-inch AMOLED micro-curved flexible screen, technical indicators, 10bit primary color screen, TureTone display, Dolby Vision, equipped with Hamanka audio, to ensure a comprehensive experience of vision and hearing.

At the press conference, Xiaomi also released the Xiaomi tablet series that has not been updated for a long time – Xiaomi iPad 5, Xiaomi Sound high fidelity audio, Xiaomi TV Master 77 ?? OLED, Xiaomi TV 6 OLED version, CyberDog bionic quadruped robot and other new products.

Seven years ago, at the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, the high-spirited Lei Jun publicly expressed Xiaomi’s dream: "In five to ten years, Xiaomi will be the first in the world." Bruce Sewell, senior vice-president of Apple, who was present, said: "It’s easy to say, it’s much more difficult to do." The audience laughed.

The host at that time immediately asked Lei Jun what he planned to do, and Lei Jun replied with a sentence from Ma Yun: What if it is realized?

Seven years later, according to the data of the world’s four major data institutions, Xiaomi’s mobile phone sales in Q2 2021 increased by 83% year-on-year, with a market share of 17%, surpassing Apple to become the second largest in the world and becoming the first Chinese brand to reach the top of the European market.

17% market share, to take a more intuitive example, in the second quarter, every six smartphones sold globally, one was Xiaomi. The growth in performance has also made Xiaomi on the Fortune Global 500 list for three consecutive years, ranking 338 in 2021, up 84 places.

In today’s speech, Lei Jun also announced Xiaomi’s next goal:In three years, he won the first place in the world.

If you do a simple calculation, you will find that if "the world’s first in three years" really becomes a reality, then Lei Jun’s "five to ten years, Xiaomi will be the world’s first" statement will really come true. Maybe just as Lei Jun said seven years ago that Xiaomi would be the world’s first, the audience and the guests on the stage laughed, and today some people will still laugh at Lei Jun’s "three years of world first". The difference is that now more people may start to believe that this may really become a reality.

To this day, there are still many people who think that Xiaomi mobile phones are not so good and not worth spending so much money, but the fact is that more and more people choose Xiaomi. Xiaomi’s success may be seen in the final part of today’s press conference.

Ten years ago, Xiaomi Mobile Phone 1 went on sale, priced at 1999 yuan, and sold 184,600 units, totaling 370 million yuan. This is Xiaomi’s first income. It is with this income that today’s Xiaomi has become. To thank the first batch of Xiaomi mobile phone users, Xiaomi gave them a red envelope of 1999 yuan each to thank them for their help to Xiaomi.

Do you think Xiaomi’s mobile phone can surpass Apple and Samsung to become the number one in the world?

The government and platform enterprises that provide food and beverage services jointly funded and launched three consumption coupons of takeaway, in-store, and elderly care and disability assistance for a total of 100 million yuan, which benefited consumers and catering enterprises in Beijing. On the first day of the issuance of food and beverage consumption coupons, the public’s enthusiasm for receiving coupons for consumption was high, which further improved the popularity of restaurants.

　　70,000 Catering Merchants Participate

　　There are more than 70,000 catering merchants participating in this event, covering all kinds of catering scenarios such as dinner, fast food, hot pot, baking, tea and so on. There are two denominations of take-away and in-store consumption coupons, namely 15 yuan coupons for "over 50 yuan minus 15 yuan" and 30 yuan coupons for "over 100 yuan minus 30 yuan". The exclusive consumption coupons for elderly people with disabilities are aimed at low unit price, inconvenience in using mobile phones, eating in the store and self-pickup. The discount of "over 15 yuan minus 5 yuan" for consumption in the store with the pension assistance card is set. Platforms and merchants participating in this event can stack more discounts in combination with the actual situation.

Consumers can log in to CCB Life APP, Meituan APP, Meituan Takeaway APP, Ele.me APP, and Maijian Food APP to receive coupons. JD.com, UnionPay and other platforms will also start issuing consumption coupons one after another.

　　Among them, the event date of Ele.me is from July 18th to August 16th, and the coupon collection starts at 10 am every day. Users have the opportunity to receive the catering consumption coupon through the APP pop-up window or search for "Beijing consumption coupon" through the search box.

　　To get the coupon on the same day, you need to place an order for dining on the same day.

　　The issuance rules of catering consumption coupons this time are different from the past. During the event, consumers in Beijing can receive catering consumption coupons every day. Each person can receive 1 takeaway consumption coupon package and 1 in-store consumption coupon package on each platform. A maximum of 2 coupons can be received in a single day, with a total of 4 consumption coupons. Each consumption coupon is limited to 1 time in a single day. After receiving the coupon, it must be used on the same day. Takeaway consumption coupons can be ordered directly online. After placing an order online for dine-in catering consumption coupons, they must enter the store for consumption on the same day. Otherwise, the consumption coupon will be automatically invalid and cannot be used at 23:59:59 on the day of collection. The group buying package purchased with the consumption coupon will also be fully re

　　After the coupon was issued, consumers were enthusiastic about receiving the coupon. Meituan data shows that only 6 minutes after the Beijing catering consumption coupon was launched, all four denominations of catering consumption coupons on the platform have been received, of which the "100 minus 30 yuan" consumption coupon was sold out in just 68 seconds. Two hours after the coupon was launched, the number of orders for food packages and vouchers on the Meituan platform increased rapidly by more than 83% compared with the previous week.

　　Restaurant traffic rises and discounts are discounted

　　Consumers are spending with coupons, which has also led to a rise in restaurant traffic. At noon on July 18, in the Rose Garden self-service barbecue Yangqiao store, eye-catching offline posters have been placed on each dining table, reminding consumers to get consumption coupons online first and then place an order for group buying packages to enjoy discounts. "I obviously feel that the traffic counting in the store has increased due to the consumption coupons," said Pan Hua, head of the self-service barbecue business of Rose Garden.

　　The fast verification speed of consumption coupons reflects the strong consumption willingness and consumption motivation of citizens. The issuance of consumption coupons will also further promote the recovery of the Beijing catering market. Meituan data shows that in the last week, the online transaction volume of in-store catering, including packages, vouchers, and self-pickup in stores, increased by 82% compared with the same period in June. Beijing dine consumption is gradually picking up. (Ma Jing, Yang Tianyue)

On the evening of September 22, China Evergrande announced that the company’s original September 25 and September 26 meetings on the relevant agreement arrangements for the proposed restructuring will not be held, mainly because the sales situation has been lower than expected since March 22.

On March 22, China Evergrande released a workout plan, and the proposed restructuring includes the "Evergrande Agreement Arrangement", the "Jingcheng Agreement Arrangement" and the "Space-based Agreement Arrangement".

On August 27, China Evergrande released an unaudited interim results announcement, indicating that the company actively planned to resume sales, with a significant increase in sales performance, steadily advancing work related to overseas debt restructuring, and signed an overseas restructuring support agreement with creditors in April.

So here’s the problem.Was it the sudden change in China Evergrande’s sales from June 30 to September 22, or has it been poor since March 22?

In less than a month, the sales situation suddenly changed

Who would have thought that less than a month ago, China Evergrande would still be sending a positive signal to the outside world.

On August 27, China Evergrande released an unaudited interim performance announcement, indicating that the company actively planned to resume sales, successfully seized the property market Xiaoyangchun that emerged at the beginning of the year, and achieved a significant increase in sales performance. It has always taken stable management and risk reduction as its top priority, and has made every effort to ensure the construction of the building.

At the same time, in line with the principles of respecting international restructuring practices, treating the rights and demands of all creditors with justice and fairness, China Evergrande has steadily advanced the work related to overseas debt restructuring, and signed an overseas restructuring support agreement with creditors in April.

China Evergrande has not disclosed sales from June 30 to September 22, but it gave "optimistic" sales figures in its unaudited interim results announcement.

As of June 30, 2023, China Evergrande had a land reserve of 190 million square meters and participated in 78 old renovation projects, including 55 in the Greater Bay Area (34 in Shenzhen) and 23 in other cities.

In terms of contract sales, in the first half of 2023, China Evergrande achieved a contract sales amount of 33.413 billion yuan, a contract sales area of 5.115 million square meters, and a cumulative sales refund of 27.10 billion yuan.

In the unaudited interim results, China Evergrande looks to the future, saying that it will resolutely assume the main responsibility of self-rescue insurance, do a solid job in the specific work of guaranteeing the delivery of buildings, and accelerate the restructuring of overseas debt to protect the long-term interests of various creditors.

On the evening of September 22, China Evergrande announced that it had cancelled the relevant meetings of the workout, mainly because the company’s sales were not as good as expected since March 22.

The previous two extensions

On March 22, China Evergrande released its overseas debt restructuring plan.

Among them, China Evergrande intends to carry out the proposed restructuring of the "Evergrande Agreement Arrangement" through the agreement arrangement in the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong and other applicable jurisdictions. Evergrande’s agreement arrangement will have two sets of liabilities, namely Group A and Group C.

The Jingcheng Agreement Arrangement means that Jingcheng Limited plans to implement a reorganization through an agreement arrangement in the British Virgin Islands, including the issuance of four US dollar-denominated senior notes by Jingcheng.

Each Jingcheng creditor will be allocated a pro rata allocation of new notes issued by Jingcheng with a total principal amount of US $6.50 billion.

Under the space-based arrangement, creditors will receive four new notes issued by space-based holdings limited with a term of five to eight years and a total principal amount of $800 million.

On July 26, China Evergrande announced that the Evergrande agreement was scheduled for August 23, and the space-based agreement and the Jingcheng agreement were scheduled for August 22.

On August 16, China Evergrande postponed the above meeting for the first time until August 28.

On August 28, China Evergrande announced that it had agreed to postpone the meeting to September 26.

In order to maintain as much consistency as possible between the scheduling meetings of the Evergrande Agreement, the Scenic Agreement, and the Space-based Agreement, the Scenic Agreement scheduling meeting and the Space-based Agreement scheduling meeting will be postponed to September 25.

In less than a month, the reason has changed dramatically

What is even more bizarre is that on the eve of the cancellation of the above-mentioned meeting, China Evergrande confirmed that the hearing time of the agreement was postponed.

On the evening of September 8, China Evergrande announced that the approval hearings for the Jingcheng Agreement Arrangement, the Cayman Islands Evergrande Agreement Arrangement, Hong Kong Evergrande and the Space-based Agreement Arrangement were postponed to the evening of October 3, October 5, October 16 and 17, respectively.

The reporter noticed that China Evergrande’s agreement to extend the approval hearing to early October is a prerequisite for its reorganization to take effect in early November.

Compared with the cancellation of the meeting, sales were lower than expected. China Evergrande listed three reasons for the postponement of the second meeting.

First, China Evergrande’s recent series of overseas workout meetings and hearings have been postponed, which needs to give creditors more time to understand the terms of the reorganization procedures and agreement arrangements, so as to maximize creditors’ participation in the reorganization.

Second, China Evergrande shares have resumed trading on August 28, and creditors need to be given time to consider the impact of recent new developments in China Evergrande on restructuring and agreement arrangements.

Third, China Evergrande previously applied to the New York court for reorganization approval procedures under Chapter 15 of the United States Code, which was mistakenly interpreted by the outside world as a matter related to bankruptcy protection.

At that time, China Evergrande repeatedly stressed that the extension of the relevant meeting of the above agreement was still within the deadline (December 15), in line with the expectations of the creditors of the agreement to implement the proposed restructuring.

Sunac is one step ahead

Unlike China Evergrande, Sunac China has made progress in stages.

On the evening of September 18, Sunac China announced that the company’s overseas workout was approved with a high pass rate of 99.75% for the number of creditors and 98.3% for the total amount of debt.

Sunac China announced that the company will seek court approval and ruling on the plan. The petition seeking a ruling on the plan will be heard at 9:30 am on October 5.

At this point, Sunac China’s overseas workout has entered a critical moment.

On September 19, Sunac China applied for Chapter 15 certification in the US court for the restructuring of US dollar debt, and has been recognized by the US court for its restructuring agreement in the Hong Kong court of China.

According to industry analysts, the bankruptcy protection of enterprises is recognized by the court, which will temporarily prohibit creditors from taking measures to recover the property owned before the bankruptcy application, and also temporarily prohibit legal proceedings against debtors. Creditors need the authorization of the bankruptcy court to claim debts, which has a positive impact on the overall workout of enterprises.

The Shanghai Securities News reporter noticed that China Evergrande also made the above application recently, but was considered by the outside world to have applied for bankruptcy liquidation, and then made relevant clarifications.

Unlike Sunac China, which made the above application after confirming the overseas workout, China Evergrande is still negotiating the time for the overseas workout to hold relevant meetings when applying for Chapter 15 certification to the US court.

According to the daily economic news, under the "price war" one after another, the hardcore off-road vehicle market has become another market segment for car companies. According to MIIT’s new car declaration information, dozens of models will be listed in the domestic hardcore off-road vehicle market in 2024. In March alone, three models, the new Prado, the Tank 700 Hi4-T, and the iCAR 03, were pre-sold or listed.

On March 18, the dark blue car’s first hardcore off-road vehicle, the dark blue G318, was unveiled, but the specific price was not announced. The "Daily Economic News" reporter learned that considering the current domestic hardcore off-road vehicle market price gap, the dark blue G318 may lower the price, and the price range is expected to be 250,000~ 300,000 yuan.

Northeast Securities Research Report data show that the current domestic hard-core off-road vehicle concentration is high, sales show price polarization, the first echelon is the tank 300, 500, and BJ40 as the representative, the price range of 16~ 300,000 yuan of independent brand models; the second echelon is the guardian, G-class as the representative, the price of luxury imported models of 700,000 yuan and above; the middle price segment of the product is weaker.

At present, in the first echelon, the tank series models firmly occupy the first position. If the starting price of the deep blue G318 is set at 250,000 yuan, it will be directly aimed at the tank series of the first echelon and overlap with the configuration price of the equation Leopard 5. It is worth noting that in the face of increasingly fierce market competition, the pricing strategy of the upcoming hardcore off-road vehicles may also change. It is reported that the starting price of the Ford Liema, which will be pre-sold at the end of March, is expected to drop to 300,000 yuan.

Although car companies are accelerating their entry into the hardcore off-road vehicle market, it is still a niche market in terms of volume. Northeast Securities Research Report believes that high fuel consumption, high manufacturing costs, and excessive noise in the car are the reasons that hinder the hardcore off-road vehicle market from becoming the mainstream. However, new energy off-road vehicles can make up for the shortcomings of traditional fuel hardcore off-road vehicles, and can give hardcore off-road vehicles a wider range of use scenarios. It is expected that with the new energy giving hardcore off-road vehicles more urban use attributes, the long-term space of our country’s hardcore off-road vehicle market is expected to exceed 800,000 vehicles.

Taking the Deep Blue G318 as an example, its feed fuel consumption is as low as 6.7L/100km (CLTC), and at the same time, it can achieve a pure electric battery life of 190Km and a comprehensive battery life of over 1000Km. In the opinion of Deng Chenghao, CEO of Deep Blue Automobile, the reason why the Deep Blue G318 can solve the pain points such as "high energy consumption" and "poor comfort" of traditional hardcore off-road vehicles is due to its dark blue super range extension 2.0 technology.

It is reported that Deep Blue Super Range Extension 2.0 technology integrates Force Superset Electric Drive 2.0, Force Intelligent Range Extension 2.0 and Golden Bell Battery 2.0 into one, among which Force Superset Electric Drive 2.0 has the highest operating efficiency of electric drive assembly of 92.59%; Force Intelligent Range Extension 2.0 can achieve 1 liter of 3.63 kWh of electricity, which greatly reduces the cost of using a car; Golden Bell Battery 2.0 can achieve the long life of the power battery.

A few days ago, Changan Automobile released the new Blue Whale Power All-Scene Solution, and Deep Blue Super Range Extension 2.0 represents its breakthrough in range extension technology. "The new Blue Whale Power has made new breakthroughs in the’digital electromechanical ‘. For example, on the dual-motor electric drive used for plug-in and mixing, you can freely select and lock the plug-in and range extension dual modes with one click, and the intelligent driving management system (IEM) can realize all-terrain driving adaptation." According to Wang Jun, president of Changan Automobile, vehicle products equipped with the new Blue Whale Power All-Scene Solution will also be released and unveiled one after another from March, and will soon be put into the market.

According to the plan, in 2024, Changan Automobile will have two models powered by the new blue whale, namely the Changan UNI-Z and the dark blue G318. Among them, the Changan UNI-Z is a plug-in product, and the dark blue G318 will be equipped with range extension technology.

Reporters learned that next, the new blue whale power will empower Changan Automobile’s three major product brands. Take Deep Blue Automobile as an example, in the next three years, it will launch 6 product series, with the rhythm of more than 2 new products per year, a total of more than 12 new and modified models will be launched.

Whether it is Deep Blue G318 or New Blue Whale Power, it can be seen that the speed of Changan Automobile’s new energy transformation is accelerating. Recently, it was reported that new assessment methods for three central automobile companies, including Changan Automobile, are under discussion and are expected to be issued soon. Several new indicators, including market share, profit structure, technological innovation, and safety production, may be included in the new assessment system.

According to the plan, in 2024, Changan Automobile will achieve the goal of 2.80 million sales of the group, of which 750,000 new energy sales. "We will firmly take the product as the main line and promote the three intelligent new energy brands of Changan Qiyuan, Deep Blue Automobile and Avita to work together to build differentiated brand value." Zhu Huarong, Secretary of the Party Committee of Changan Automobile, said in a recent interview with reporters that this year, 9 new products such as Avita E15, E16, Deformable Digital Intelligence New Car E07, Deep Blue G318, Deep Blue C857, and Changan Qiyuan C798 will be launched one after another to comprehensively optimize the supply structure of Changan Automobile products.

Challenge the status of the tank series? The dark blue G318 enters the hardcore off-road vehicle market, or lowers the starting price to 250,000 yuan
