On January 16, at the 2024 Changan Automobile Global Partner Conference, Zhu Huarong, Chairperson of Changan Automobile, responded to and shared the establishment of a joint venture with Huawei, the 2024 sales target, and recent personnel changes.

"The new joint venture between Changan and Huawei is tentatively named’Newcool ‘." According to Zhu Huarong, since August last year, the two sides have carried out multiple rounds of exchanges on the establishment of the new company. The two sides are very compatible in terms of industrial judgment, development concepts, and cooperation ideas. Therefore, in less than three months, Changan and Huawei reached a cooperation intention and signed an "Investment Cooperation Memorandum" at the end of November last year.

It is reported that the two sides are conducting transactions and cooperation agreement negotiations, and all related work is progressing smoothly as planned. The new company is mainly engaged in the research and development, design, production, sales and service of automotive intelligence systems and component solutions. The business scope includes seven major fields such as automotive intelligent driving solutions, automotive intelligent cockpit, intelligent vehicle digital platform, intelligent vehicle cloud, AR-HUD and intelligent lights. Zhu Huarong also mentioned that during the cooperation process, Huawei promised not to engage in the whole vehicle business; not to engage in the new company business; for the smart selection business, the two sides have also done good research and discussion.

In addition to the cooperation form mentioned above, Avita, a brand of Changan Automobile, and Huawei adopt the HI model (Huawei provides full-stack integrated solutions), which is also the only one among the mainstream car companies. In this regard, Zhu Huarong explained that doing so (adopting the HI model) is in line with the laws of the industry and meets the requirements of industrial policies, so that the interests of users can be fundamentally guaranteed. We and Huawei’s innovative model, strong alliances, complementary advantages, maximize their respective advantages, and form a bundle of interests. From another perspective, this is also the best result of the CHN model.

In 2023, Avita 11 and Avita 12 will be launched on the market, of which Avita 12 will make its world debut at the Munich Motor Show, and will break through 20,000 cars in the first month of listing. Avita 12 is equipped with HarmonyOS 4.0. At the same time, Avita 12 is also equipped with Huawei’s high-end intelligent driving system ADS2.0, which reduces dependence on high-precision maps and realizes a very "smart" driving experience covering all scenarios such as high-speed sections, urban sections and parking links.

As the second product of Avita and an important phased achievement of the mid-term goal of "four-year four-car", Avita 12 adheres to the product concept of "forward-looking design" and "warm technology", and will also open up a new market in the luxury coupe field, creating a unique and futuristic travel and life experience for users.

Changan and Huawei’s new company is named "Newcool". The first reaction to seeing this news is that Avita 12 is going to take off in situ. With the deep blessing of these two dads, future cutting-edge technologies should give Avita 12 priority. Looking forward to living in the family!

Andy Lau is not a "godfather" in Beijing’s "Ring" and is not afraid of "debt"

　　　　　　　 Movie Network News(Photo/Qian Jia’s memoir/Xie Yawei) "I don’t like the title of’godfather ‘, and I feel that one day I will go to jail." On May 11, "The Ring" held a media meeting in Beijing. As an investor, Andy Lau appeared with Guo Zijian and Zheng Sijie, two new directors, and Lin Jiadong, the producer. Because of his dedication to the excavation and promotion of new directors in recent years, Andy Lau has been praised by the media as the "godfather" of the new director, but Andy is very resistant to this title, bluntly saying that he feels like a gangster. When talking about the new work he invested in, Andy Lau admitted that it is like his own child. As a parent, he must lead it out to meet people, otherwise it is likely that no one will pay attention. The film will be released simultaneously in mainland China and Hong Kong on June 4.

Andy Lau is unwilling to be a new director "The Godfather" to invest in new films "Not bad money"

　　　　　　　 "Crazy Stone" attracted much attention at the beginning of its release because Andy Lau was an investor, and then its own quality made the film "out of control" with Ning Hao and Huang Bohong. Andy Lau has paid great attention to and promoted new directors in recent years. As long as he likes the script, he will invest boldly, so that many newcomers can get a platform to show their talents. Therefore, he has been praised by the media as the "godfather" of new directors. Hearing this title, Andy Lau seemed a little disgusted, "I don’t like the title of’godfather ‘, I feel like I will go to jail one day, too much like a gangster." He said that he can only be regarded as a stalwart, but his strength is limited, and he is very happy that many big companies are now paying attention to new directors.

　　　　　　　 In the past, Andy Lau and Lin Jiadong acted in many movies as partners. In "The Ring", the relationship between the two people changed, one was the boss and the other was the producer, so "asking for money" became something Lin Jiadong had to do, "He is a good boss, I will ask him for money, and he was very happy when he signed the check." Andy Lau, the boss, did it very easily. He showed up once when the film was on, and never went to the set after that. "The total investment of the film 8 million, and their budget is very well controlled. After watching the first edited film, I gave them a little money to make them do better." It seems that Andy Lau, the boss, is indeed "not bad money".
　

　　On the evening of November 13, Alibaba submitted a listing prospectus to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The prospectus shows that the funds raised by Alibaba’s IPO will be mainly used to drive user growth and increase participation, help enterprises achieve digital transformation, improve operational efficiency, and continue to innovate. It mentions specific businesses such as Ele.me, Flying Pig, Youku, and cloud computing technology.

　　Industry experts point out that Alibaba’s return to the Hong Kong stock market not only allows it to develop its business through new fundraising, but also helps to enhance its influence in the Greater China region and promote the development of its business.

　　Proceeds raised will be used in three ways, mentioning companies such as Ele.me and Youku

　　Regarding the use of the proceeds raised, Alibaba said that the company plans to use the funds from the global sale to promote the execution of the strategy in three areas: driving user growth and increasing engagement, helping enterprises achieve digital transformation, improving operational efficiency, and continuous innovation.

　　Among them, Alibaba specifically mentioned that the company will continue to expand and enhance life services through Ele.me and Flying Pig, and will continue to build digital media and entertainment services through Youku and other content platforms. In addition, cloud computing technology is also a key word that Alibaba has mentioned many times in its fundraising purposes.

　　However, the specific issuance plan has not been disclosed in the prospectus this time. According to previous media reports, Alibaba Group plans to issue 500 million new ordinary shares through the global sale and list them on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The issuance includes 500 million ordinary shares and an overallotment share that can issue up to 75 million additional ordinary shares. It is expected to be priced as early as November 20, Hong Kong time. The company’s fundraising amount may be between 100-15 billion US dollars, and the price range is calculated at a 4% discount to the US stock price, around 180 US dollars per share.

　　Ma Yun holds 6.1% of the shares, and the company implements a different rights structure for the same shares

　　In addition, the prospectus also disclosed Alibaba’s shareholding structure, with SoftBank holding 25.8%, Ma Yun holding 6.1%, Cai Chongxin holding 2.0%, other directors and senior management holding 0.9%, and other public shareholders holding 65.2%.

　　In addition, Alibaba also talked about the company’s partnership system in the prospectus. According to the prospectus, in July 2010, Alibaba officially established the Alibaba Partnership, which currently has 38 members.

　　According to the disclosure, the members of the organization only have a single class of shares, and each share corresponds to one voting right, but according to the Articles of Association, Alibaba Partners has the exclusive right to nominate (or in limited cases, great men) a simple majority of the board members. These rights are classified under different voting rights structures under the Hong Kong Listing Rules, so Alibaba is considered a company with different share rights structures.

　　In the second quarter, more than 60% of Alibaba’s revenue came from Tmall and Taobao.

　　On the evening of November 13, the prospectus disclosed by Alibaba in Hong Kong stocks shows that in the fiscal year 2019 (April 1, 2018 – March 31, 2019), the company achieved a total revenue of 376.844 billion yuan and a net profit of 80.234 billion yuan. In addition, from April 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019, Alibaba achieved a total operating income of 114.924 billion yuan and a net profit of 19.122 billion yuan.

　　In addition to disclosing financial data, Alibaba also showed its commercial version in the prospectus. At present, Alibaba’s main business includes core business, cloud computing, digital media and entertainment, and innovation business. Among them, core business is Alibaba’s main source of income. A total of 323.40 billion yuan in fiscal year 2019, accounting for 85.82% of total revenue.

　　In the core business, China’s retail business, dominated by Taobao and Tmall, generates the highest revenue. According to the financial report, during the three months from April 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019, approximately 66% of Alibaba’s revenue came from China’s retail business.

　　According to the prospectus, the core business can be divided into six specific business directions, namely China retail business (mainly Taobao and Tmall), cross-border and global retail business (Tmall overseas, Koala, AliExpress and South East Asia, Turkey, Pakistan and other countries and regions of the e-commerce platform), China wholesale business (1688.com and retail), cross-border and global wholesale business (alibaba.com), logistics service business (Cainiao network), life service business (Ele.me, word of mouth, flying pig).

　　In addition to its core business, Alibaba’s business also includes cloud computing (Alibaba Cloud), digital media and entertainment (Youku, UC Browser, Alibaba Pictures), and innovation (Autonavi, DingTalk, Tmall Genie).

　　Ali’s commercial version, the picture is taken from Alibaba’s prospectus

　　It is worth noting that in the prospectus, Alibaba also stated that the company has held a total of 33% shares in Ant Financial since September 2019. In addition, since June 30, 2019, Alibaba has made or plans to make equity investments in a total of 24 companies, with a total amount of 38.529 billion yuan.

　　Expert: Alibaba’s return to Hong Kong for listing will enhance the company’s influence

　　Yang Delong, managing director and chief economist of Qianhai Open Source Fund, pointed out to China New York Matrix that Alibaba’s return to the Hong Kong stock market has three major benefits, one is to make up for the regret of not being able to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in the past, and the other is to achieve new financing. Finally, because Alibaba’s main revenue and profits come from China, listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is conducive to further expanding Ali’s influence in Greater China and promoting its business growth.

　　In addition, for the possible impact of Alibaba’s listing on the market, Yang Delong believes that according to the current news, Alibaba’s listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will raise 100-15 billion US dollars, which will become the largest fundraising in the history of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Therefore, in the short term, it may indeed bring pressure on the Hong Kong stock market to divert funds.

　　"But we can’t just see the role of capital diversion brought by Alibaba’s Hong Kong stock listing. As a representative of the new economy, Alibaba provides new investment targets for Hong Kong stock investors, which helps to attract some investors to invest, thus stimulating the active level of the Hong Kong stock market. In addition, with Alibaba’s return to Hong Kong stocks, it will sooner or later be included in the targets of Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect, which also provides a new opportunity for mainland investors, and may also bring new incremental funds to the Hong Kong stock market." Yang Delong said. (China-Singapore Jingwei APP)

　　Beidou network, stars shine all over the world.

　　On July 29, the reporter learned from the China Satellite Navigation System Management Office that the last networking satellite of the Beidou-3 system has completed in-orbit testing, network access evaluation, and has been officially connected to the network recently.

　　In ancient times, there was Beidou Seven Stars to identify the direction, and now there is Beidou Satellite Positioning Kyushu. This global satellite navigation system independently built and operated by our country will provide global users with all-weather, all-day, high-precision positioning, navigation and timing services. What are the capabilities of Beidou satellite navigation system and how to achieve the development of the whole industry chain? How will Beidou satellite global networking promote the transformation of production and life and empower the development of industries?

　　Have five abilities

　　Beidou satellite navigation system is an important space infrastructure independently built and operated by our country, and it is also the largest, widest coverage and highest service performance giant complex space system in our country so far.

　　Speaking of Beidou, many people’s first reaction is "navigation and positioning". Real-time navigation and fast positioning are the most basic functions of a satellite navigation system. In addition, Beidou also has three features: accurate timing, location reporting and short message communication.

　　"The Beidou satellite itself is a timing system in our country," said Lu Xiaochun, deputy director of the National Time Service Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The accuracy of the on-board rubidium atomic clock on the Beidou-3 satellite is at the international leading level, and can reach 5 10 billion seconds per day. At present, this function has been widely used in communications, power, finance and other systems.

　　The location reporting function is closely related to the characteristics of Beidou’s "active positioning". Active positioning is a major innovation of China’s Beidou. Using radio measurement technology, through two geostationary orbit satellites, it can not only answer the user’s "where am I", but also tell the relevant parties who follow the user’s whereabouts "where are you". It is widely used in search and rescue, fishing and other fields, and is a "clairvoyant" to ensure the safety of people’s livelihood.

　　The short message communication function is the "unique stunt" of the Beidou system. Navigation satellites and communications satellites are two types of satellites, but Beidou navigation satellites have additional communication functions. Wang Bo, deputy secretary-general of the China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Association, said that Beidou users can use the end point to not only know their location, but also tell others about their situation through short messages. This function is crucial in areas without network coverage such as deserts, distant oceans, deep mountains and forests, or when disasters occur and communication is blocked.

　　"After the Wenchuan earthquake, all ground communication facilities have been completely disconnected. The information is actually based on the short message and short message function of Beidou-1. Although it is only capable of a few hundred Chinese characters, it was very effective at that time." Wang Ping, chief designer of Beidou-3 satellite at the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group, said.

　　In the Beidou-3 system, the ability of short message communication has been significantly improved, and the information sending capacity has been increased from 120 Chinese characters to 1200 Chinese characters at the first time, which is widely used in many fields such as ocean fishing, rescue and disaster relief, and global search and rescue. According to Yu Xiancheng, president of the China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Association, more than 70,000 fishing boats and law enforcement vessels across the country have installed Beidou end point, and a total of more than 10,000 people have been rescued.

　　The Beidou satellite navigation system consists of three parts: the space segment, the ground segment, and the user segment. It is worth mentioning that the Beidou space segment uses a hybrid constellation of three orbiting satellites. In addition to having medium-circle earth orbit satellites like the US GPS, European Galileo, and Russian GLONASS satellite navigation systems, it also has geostationary orbit satellites and tilted geosynchronous orbit satellites. These two types of satellites belong to high-orbit satellites. The higher the satellite, the stronger its anti-occlusion ability. Whether it is in a city with high-rise buildings or in a mountainous area with many obstructions, Beidou can still "hold on to its post" when other satellite systems cannot be positioned. Especially in low latitudes, Beidou performance is more advantageous.

　　Benefit domestic service global

　　On May 27, China’s 2020 Mount Everest elevation survey mountaineering team successfully topped the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest.

　　15 years ago, when our country measured the elevation of Mount Everest, the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) satellite measurement mainly relied on the GPS system of the United States. And this measurement, our country also referred to the four global satellite navigation systems of China Beidou, the United States GPS, the European Galileo, and the Russian Glonass, and mainly used the data of Beidou. Among them, the Beidou high-precision positioning equipment developed by the Shanghai Huatai Navigation Technology joint stock company played an important role in the measurement.

　　The headquarters of China Test Navigation is located in Beidou Industrial Park, Xihongqiao, Qingpu District, Shanghai. There are more than 100 companies related to the Beidou industry. The upper, middle and lower reaches of the Beidou industry chain have formed close connections.

　　From the application level, how is the Beidou industrial chain divided?

　　It is understood that the "Beidou" industrial chain is mainly concentrated in the user segment of the Beidou system, divided into three links: upstream basic components, midstream end points, and downstream operation services. Among them, upstream basic components are mainly chips, boards, antennas and other basic components; midstream end points mainly refer to navigation and positioning devices that can receive "Beidou" signals; downstream operation services mainly refer to providing various basic services such as positioning, navigation, timing, and short message communication based on "Beidou" for government and enterprise users, industry users, service providers, and mass consumers.

　　From providing services for the Asia-Pacific region to providing services for the world, Beidou realizes global networking, which not only means that Beidou has a wider coverage of services, but also benefits the entire industrial chain. The related industrial chain products have a set of support systems. The experience, stability and reliability of these products will be greatly improved, especially in the chip and end point industries.

　　The R & D and production technology of Beidou chips is gradually maturing. The 28-nanometer chip supporting the "Beidou No. 3" system signal has been widely used in the field of Internet of Things and consumer electronics. The 22-nanometer dual-frequency positioning chip has met the market application conditions. The full-frequency integrated high-precision chip has been put into production, and the performance of Beidou chips has reached a new level. By the end of 2019, the shipment of domestic Beidou navigation chip modules has exceeded 100 million pieces, and the quarterly shipment has exceeded 10 million pieces. Beidou navigation chips, modules, high-precision boards and antennas have been exported to more than 100 countries and regions.

　　In terms of end point products, taking smartphones as an example, in 2019, the total sales volume of domestic satellite navigation and positioning end point products exceeded 460 million units, of which the sales volume of smartphones reached 372 million units. As of the third quarter of 2019, more than 400 mobile phones that applied for network access in the Chinese market had positioning functions, of which nearly 300 supported Beidou positioning.

　　The whole industrial chain of Beidou is making efforts, which not only benefits China but also serves the world. "In 2019, Beidou’s overseas application cooperation and trade exchanges have become more frequent. Domestic Beidou basic products have been exported to more than 120 countries and regions. Land rights confirmation, precision agriculture, smart construction, smart ports, etc. based on Beidou have been successfully applied in ASEAN, South Asia, Eastern Europe, West Asia, Africa and other places." Yu Xiancheng said.

　　Aerospace Science and Technology Group Wuyuan Aerospace Stellar Company has developed more than 1,000 kinds of satellite application products so far, including Beidou navigation handheld, Beidou ship-borne end point, Beidou vehicle-mounted end point, etc. "In 2019, our ship-borne end point products successfully entered the Myanmar fishery market. So far, more than 1,000 sets of ship-borne end point products have been delivered. It not only provides services such as ship positioning supervision, no-fishing and no-navigation area management for Myanmar’s fishery supervision department, but also provides fishermen with positioning and navigation, catch reporting, text communication and alarm and rescue functions." The relevant person in charge of Aerospace Stellar told reporters.

　　The completion of the Beidou system will greatly promote a new round of development of our country’s satellite navigation industry. The "2020 China Satellite Navigation and location-based service industry development white paper" (hereinafter referred to as the "white paper") shows that in 2019, the total output value of our country’s satellite navigation and location-based service industry reached 345 billion yuan, an increase of 14.4% over 2018. It is expected that the overall output value of the industry will exceed 400 billion yuan in 2020.

　　Applications are limited only by imagination

　　Signals are on the horizon, applied around.

　　From clothing, food, housing, transportation to water, electricity, gas, heat, from agriculture, forestry and fisheries to disaster relief and mitigation… The Beidou satellite navigation system is deeply integrated into social life and penetrates into all aspects of economic and social development.

　　Driving on the road, which road is smoother? Bus travel, how long will it take for the car to arrive at the station? Shared riding, how can I quickly find a bicycle? No matter what mode of transportation you choose, you can’t do without the Beidou satellite navigation system.

　　The transportation industry is one of the largest users of the Beidou satellite navigation system. The Beidou system is widely used in key transportation process monitoring, highway infrastructure safety monitoring, port high-precision real-time dispatch monitoring and other fields. According to the data of the White Paper, by the end of 2019, more than 6.50 million operating vehicles, 40,000 express and postal vehicles, about 80,000 buses in 36 cities, more than 3,200 inland river navigation facilities, and more than 2,900 marine navigation facilities in China had applied the Beidou system, and built the world’s largest operating vehicle dynamic supervision system.

　　"Where" and "what time" constitute the measurement coordinates of our daily work and life. Invisible and intangible time and space information is not only an indispensable important guarantee in people’s lives, but also an important infrastructure of the national economy.

　　Intelligent port construction is regarded as an important means to enhance the core competitiveness of ports. Previously, the Ministry of Transport and other nine departments issued the "Guiding Opinions on Building World-Class Ports", proposing to build information infrastructure based on Beidou satellite navigation system and other technologies, and promote the automatic driving demonstration of trucks in the port area and special scenes.

　　In Wuhan Huashan Port, rows of bridge cranes, ship cranes, and track cranes are arranged in sequence, and "flatbed trucks" about 15 meters long and with a maximum load of 75 tons are driving independently. A series of operations such as parking, packing, leaving, parking, and unloading are completely completed independently.

　　This is a 5G intelligent unmanned container transfer truck that uses Beidou positioning. Compared with traditional container unmanned trucks that rely on "magnetic nails" on the ground to locate and move, the Beidou navigation system can provide higher-precision spatiotemporal information, transmit data through the 5G network, and enable the car to sense various objects within 200 meters, and the parking positioning accuracy is controlled within 5 centimeters.

　　The accuracy is controlled within 5 centimeters – this is not the "limit" of Beidou. High-precision service is a major feature of Beidou. The service accuracy of traditional navigation systems is "meter-level" or even "10-meter-level", and higher-precision services are rarely opened to the civilian market. Beidou "has a national network", and with the help of more than 2,000 ground-based enhancement stations, the Beidou system has the ability to provide users with decimeter-level, centimeter-level and even millimeter-level positioning accuracy.

　　When agriculture meets Beidou, sowing is more labor-saving, seedling emergence is more worry-free, and labor production efficiency is greatly improved. In the farmland of Dashetai Town, Wulateqian Banner, Bayannur City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, unmanned seeders are becoming increasingly "ordinary" from "rare things". Based on the Beidou positioning function, the seeders operate by themselves along the preset route. With this precise and scientific method, the sowing deviation per kilometer does not exceed 2 cm, and the seedling emergence rate per mu can be increased by 10%.

　　According to statistics, the agricultural machinery automatic driving system based on the Beidou system has more than 20,000 sets, saving 50% of labor costs; the agricultural machinery operation supervision platform and the Internet of Things platform based on the Beidou system provide services for more than 100,000 sets of agricultural machinery equipment, greatly improving the operation management efficiency.

　　When disaster warning meets Beidou, people are safer and property is guaranteed. Not long ago, in Leijiashan, Shimen County, Hunan Province, thanks to the "Beidou Satellite High-Precision Earth Disaster Monitoring and Early Warning System", villagers located in the landslide danger area were promptly transferred without any casualties. Through 24-hour real-time monitoring of the deformation and displacement of mountains, reservoirs, and rivers, Beidou provides early warning of possible landslides, subsidence, cracks, reservoirs, and river water levels to protect lives and reduce losses.

　　On the special battlefield, Beidou also responded quickly and made every effort to fight. At the beginning of 2020, a battle against the COVID-19 epidemic was launched in Shenzhou, and Huoshen Mountain and Leishenshan Hospital rose from the ground. It was Beidou that achieved high-precision positioning and accurate plotting for complex terrain and landforms; the national "Qianxun Location" online drone platform can realize epidemic prevention operations such as drone precision spraying, providing it with high-precision data, and it is also Beidou; the real-time supervision and control of material transportation vehicles, intelligent machines will quickly send medical materials delivered to the hospital isolation area, and the support system behind it is still Beidou…

　　The Beidou system collides with new technologies such as new generation 5G mobile communication, blockchain, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, etc., builds an emerging industrial ecological chain with Beidou spatiotemporal information as the main content, and promotes the transformation of production and lifestyle and the continuous innovation of business models, which will create huge economic and social benefits.

　　In the future, Beidou has infinite possibilities. As Academician Sun Jiadong, the first chief designer of Beidou satellite navigation system, once said, "Beidou’s application is only limited by human imagination". (Our reporters, Chai Yaxin, Fu Xiaojing)

The picture shows the factory carrying out the "315" theme publicity activities.

On the 315th day of Consumer Rights Day, Changde Cigarette Factory set up a publicity point in Dahe Street, Changde, and set up an eye-catching consultation desk with eye-catching publicity banners, and the staff distributed exquisite brochures to the past citizens.

"Do you know how to distinguish between genuine and fake cigarettes?" A staff member smiled and asked Mr. Zhang a question.

"Well, I really don’t know." Mr. Zhang scratched his head and looked a little confused.

"Never mind, I’ll teach you." The staff picked up a box of cigarettes from the publicity platform and began to explain patiently. She introduced the dangers of fake and shoddy cigarettes and the skills of distinguishing and preventing fakes to Mr. Zhang in plain language through the on-site physical display and the sharing of real cases. Mr. Zhang listened with relish and nodded his approval from time to time.

On the National Safety Education Day, national safety education propaganda slogans and short films were circulated on the electronic screen of the factory, which attracted many employees to stop and watch. These short films convey the importance of national security to employees with vivid pictures and simple language, and make them deeply realize that maintaining national security is the responsibility and obligation of every citizen.

The key to the promotion of popularization of law lies in "people". In order to realize the transformation of popularization of law from "flood irrigation" to "precise drip irrigation", legal consultants were invited to participate in popularization of law. Professional lawyers respectively explained the background, significance, legal interpretation and legal application of new provisions of the Civil Code according to the business characteristics and compliance requirements of the factory. Focusing on the common contract-related legal risk points and countermeasures of state-owned enterprises, this paper expounds the methods and ways of risk control when enterprises carry out business, and explains in detail the legal risk points that should be paid attention to before, during and during the contract signing. It is highly targeted to improve the company’s ability and level of using the civil code to safeguard the rights and interests of state-owned assets, the interests of employees and resolve contradictions and disputes.

In the future, Changde Cigarette Factory will continue to strengthen the publicity of law popularization, constantly innovate the form and content of law popularization, and let the concept of rule of law take root in people’s hearts. (Text/Figure Changde Cigarette Factory Liu Kechi)

　　BEIJING, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) According to a survey conducted by Kyodo News as of the evening of the 10th, nearly half of the 387 LDP members in the Senate and the House of Representatives have supported Secretary-General Taro Aso, far ahead of the second economic and financial minister, Kaoru Yosano, who has only about 50 people.

　　There are less than 30 members of Parliament who have clearly expressed their support for Nobuteru Ishihara, the president of the Political Consultative Conference, yuriko koike, and Shi Pomao, the former defense minister, and three of them are struggling. However, many Members have yet to show their attitude, and some people will change their minds temporarily, so there are still variables in the final result.

　　Aso has won more than 60% support from the largest faction, the Machimura faction (88 people), and nearly half support from Tsushima (70 people), Koga (62 people) and Yamazaki (41 people). In addition, his own Aso faction (20 people), Ibuki faction (28 people), Second-order faction (16 people) and Takamura faction (15 people) basically consider supporting Aso, in addition to the support from some non-partisan members.

First financial news, AITO is speeding up the listing of new cars. Huawei Terminal announced on September 10th that it will release the new M7 five-seat car on September 12th. With the release of new cars, the matrix of AITO vehicles will include M5, M5 pure electric version, M5 intelligent driving version, M5 pure electric intelligent driving version, M7 and M7, and it is planned to release M9 in the fourth quarter.

AITO Wenjie is a brand jointly launched by Huawei and Cyrus. At present, there is a big gap between the sales volume of the industry and the new force of making cars on the head. As a representative of Huawei’s intelligent car selection model, Huawei urgently needs to prove its ability to ask for cars.

In August, the sales of nine new car-making forces, including Ai ‘an, Ideality, Weilai and Deep Blue, all exceeded 10,000, and the delivery volume of AITO was 5,018.

In the case of sluggish sales in the world, Huawei’s auto business has shown signs of being more enterprising recently. In addition to speeding up the listing of new cars, in June this year, Huawei also received 21 "Jiejie" trademarks, which was interpreted by the industry as that Huawei will have the leading role in Jiejie trademarks and become a unified brand name for Huawei’s smart car selection model in the future. In July, the "AITO Joint Working Group on Marketing and Service" set up by Cyrus Auto and Huawei began to be fully responsible for the end-to-end closed-loop management of marketing, sales, delivery, service and channels, marking the strengthening of cooperation between the two parties. From the perspective of products in the second half of the year, the new M7 and M9 models are undoubtedly the most concerned.

Cross-border sales are under pressure

Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, CEO of BG and CEO of BU, a smart car solution, has previously revealed some information about the new M7 model. According to Weibo, the model has 3338mm interior space and 686L trunk volume. Yu Chengdong also highlighted the safety attributes of the new M7. In addition, the M9 full-size SUV will also be launched at the end of the year.

The launch of new cars is very important for the international community to boost sales. Since the beginning of this year, international sales have been under pressure. According to the production and sales data of Celestial, the sales of Celestial cars in July and August this year dropped by 45.69% and 67.52% year-on-year, which contributed to the year-on-year decline in sales in the first eight months of this year. The reporter learned from the Celestial Securities Department that in its production and sales express, the source of Celestial automobile sales is mainly from the world.

"In the first quarter, the promotion of the automobile industry caused users to have a wait-and-see mood. The user’s expectation that the M5 version will be released in the second quarter has a certain impact on the sales of existing models." Cyrus explained the reason for the decline in sales in the first half of the financial report.

AITO WeChat official account also stopped disclosing monthly delivery this year. According to the scattered data, AITO delivered 4,585 new cars in April this year, 5,629 in May and 5,018 in August, and there is no good news that the monthly delivery has exceeded 10,000. Compared with last August, the delivery volume of the industry exceeded 10,000 vehicles, reaching a peak of 12,000 vehicles in October.

According to the data of the Association, in the ranking of wholesale sales of new energy passenger cars in August this year, Sailis sold 5,018 vehicles, which did not rank among the 20, lagging behind the new car-making forces with monthly sales exceeding 10,000, such as Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an, Ideality, Weilai, Zero Run, Tucki and Nezha.

While the sales volume problem is anxious, Cyrus and Huawei have not tasted the sweetness in performance since the delivery. In 2022, thanks to the higher selling price of M5 and M7 and the increase in sales volume, the revenue of Cyrus doubled year-on-year. However, due to the increase in sales expenses and investment in R&D, the loss doubled year-on-year, reaching 3.832 billion yuan. In the first half of this year, Cyrus did not turn losses, and its revenue also decreased by 11.14% year-on-year.

It is also doubtful how much performance increment the car business can bring to Huawei. In 2022, Huawei’s smart car solution business revenue was 2.077 billion yuan, accounting for only 0.3% of the total revenue. If the cumulative investment of smart car solution BU is 3 billion US dollars, the business is still losing money. In the first half of this year, the smart car solution business revenue was 1 billion yuan, equivalent to half of last year’s annual revenue, and it seems to be standing still.

Yu Chengdong is under a lot of pressure whether it can bring the sales volume of the industry together and set a benchmark for Huawei’s car business. Since the beginning of this year, Yu Chengdong has been a frequent platform for the world, and its Weibo has twice mentioned that it has spent a lot of money on the new M7 model, saying that this model has "newly invested 100 million yuan to upgrade its interior and exterior" and "spent 500 million yuan to upgrade and build it". In July, Yu Chengdong warmed up the new M7 at the exchange meeting with distributors and suppliers, and in August, he appeared at Chengdu Station to promote the model.

Regarding the sales volume, Yu Chengdong previously responded that the sales volume is only the result of a certain development stage, and what is reflected behind it is actually the relationship with users. Due to lack of experience and experience, I took some detours. At this time, I need to give full play to my own advantages, be determined, and insist on making the ultimate products. Yu Chengdong revealed that in the face of external shocks, the company will speed up improvement, such as optimization in retail, service, delivery and other fields this year, and at the same time optimize the mechanism, increase unannounced visits to stores and other means to enhance the overall service capacity.

Adjustment of cooperative relationship

Since the beginning of this year, it has been frequently speculated that Huawei is devoting itself to building cars, and there are even rumors that Huawei BU wants to seek independence. The root cause of the rumors is that Huawei’s car business has not brought obvious increase and its development prospects are still unclear. In fact, outside Celeste, which has the deepest cooperation with Huawei, many car companies are considering cooperation with Huawei, and the cooperation relationship has undergone adjustment.

At present, the cooperation between Huawei and car companies is divided into three categories, namely vertical parts supply, HI(HuaweiInside) and Huawei Intelligent Selection. HI mode provides full-stack smart car solutions for car companies, and Huawei Intelligent Selection mode is deeply involved in product definition, styling design, marketing and user experience. The cooperation depth of these three models is from shallow to deep.

In the cooperation between car companies and technology manufacturers, who has the "soul" is a controversial issue, especially for Huawei, which has always been strong in product control, car companies will inevitably choose carefully. Some auto industry analysts told reporters that with the competition of new energy vehicles entering the second half, profits will gradually tilt towards electronicization and intelligence, and automakers are wary of cooperation with technology manufacturers.

In March this year, Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an AH8 project changed its HI cooperation mode with Huawei and changed it into a component supplier mode. AH8 will be independently developed by Ai ‘an. Some car companies have made two preparations. In April this year, the cooperation mode between BAIC Extreme Fox and Huawei changed from HI mode to intelligent car selection mode. At the same time, BAIC started its own research. At the end of August, Beiqi polar fox koala opened for pre-sale, and this model is positioned as the world’s first smart parent-child car. The reporter learned from Beiqi Blue Valley Securities Department that koala has no cooperation with Huawei. In addition, Chery, Jianghuai and Huawei have cooperated in car selection. Among them, Chery and Huawei have jointly launched a number of smart electric vehicles, and Chery is also developing an independent new energy brand iCAR.

Huawei is aware of the challenges it faces. At the "China Electric Vehicle committee of 100 Forum 2023" in April this year, Yu Chengdong said frankly that among domestic partners, new forces are unlikely to choose Huawei intellectually, international giants will not choose it for some reason, and traditional car companies will not choose it if they are afraid of losing their souls, which makes Huawei face great challenges.

Even in the face of the dynamic adjustment of the cooperative relationship with car companies, in recent years, when Huawei emphasized the stability of cash flow and gave up heavy assets to enter the automobile production, Huawei still responded many times and denied the path of building cars independently. At the beginning of this year, Ren Zhengfei, founder and CEO of HUAWEI, issued a decision announcement, stressing that "Huawei" or "Huawei" should not be used in vehicle promotion and appearance, and the time limit of "Huawei does not build cars" should be extended by five years.

Under this circumstance, in the limited cooperation with car companies, how Huawei can achieve the maximum benefit and the most ideal commercialization goal has become a core issue. In August, it was reported that Huawei made strategic adjustments to its BU business to reduce investment in non-core business and put money to the cutting edge. However, Huawei officials did not respond to this news.

In terms of business strategy, in the foreseeable time, the high probability of asking the world will still be the most important force point of Huawei’s car business. The new M7 and M9, which will be released on the 12th, will become the biggest concern of the international community in the second half of the year.

Original title: Q will release the new M7 model. How long will Huawei "build a car" window?

According to the plan, three new cars will be launched this year, including a medium-sized SUV and a medium-sized SUV, in addition to the pre-sale D9. Recently, Zhao Changjiang, general manager of Tengshi Sales Division, has also started to preheat medium-sized SUVs on his personal social platform, and the new car is positioned as a luxury and fashionable five-seat SUV. The online auto market has obtained a set of road test spy photos of Tengshi X. The new car is not excluded as a shell test car of a new medium-sized SUV, and will replace the existing Tengshi X in the future. With reference to Tengshi’s pricing strategy, it is estimated that the starting price of the new car may be around 300,000 yuan.
