At WWDC 2022 this morning, Apple detonated the car circle in three minutes.


With the advent of new operating systems such as iOS16,And a whole new generationCarPlay. This generation　CarPlay　The innovation is so great that it is even equivalent to a complete intelligent cockpit:



Open the dashboard to display speed, fuel consumption, oil quantity and rotation speed;


Occupy the central control panel, and even adjust the air conditioning temperature and seat heating/ventilation;


Linkage map, using　CarPlay　Realize AR navigation of dashboard;


Bind the phone, synchronize the desktop components of iOS …


Moreover, Apple also promised, "No matter how strange your car screen is, as long as it supports new.　CarPlay, it will definitely be displayed perfectly. "


What is this equivalent to?It is equivalent to buying an iPhone, and you bring your own smart cockpit!



In addition, for the first time, Apple announced its own "friends circle of car companies", and more than half of the luxury car companies stood.　CarPlay　Around, there are even the first batch of cooperative car companies of Android Automotive OS-and …



From the early hours of the morning to the present, our circle of friends has been brand new.　CarPlay　The news. Friends took the initiative to attack Apple this time.Full of expectation, but with some caution..


With a similar attitude, we interviewed employees of seven different companies, from newly-built cars to OEM, and even chip companies, hoping to hear what people in the industry think of Apple’s half boots.


Today, together, we bring a new generation.　CarPlay　The secret of tearing apart.


First, are you afraid of building a new car?


This is the first chapter title that comes to mind when we choose the topic.


Why do you want to talk about new cars?Because there is no CarPlay in the new car, and there is no Android Automotive and carlife, only NIO OS, Xmart OS and "Tesla OS" …



Why? Because the new forces still want to build their own operating system.


This sentence in quotation marks comes from Liu Yu (a pseudonym), the product manager of the new smart cockpit. He told us that he saw the new car in the morning.　CarPlay　At the time,Shock, admirationIs their first reaction.


Praise refers to the fact thatCarPlay　Such an "external system" can control non-safety related vehicle functions and display vehicle data."it’s already great."


Even, he thinks this is a "milestone" for Apple to build a car.



We asked him, will your new car be considered a threat? Liu Yu said yes, because "our system is still in an advanced stage."


Compared with all kinds of OS of new cars,CarPlay　There is a natural barrier:IPhone’s huge user base.


In 2021, Apple’s mobile phone shipments accounted for about 22% of the global share-an achievement that no car company has achieved in the auto market. Another figure is that in 2021, Apple won a 60% share in the high-end market above $600 (4,000 yuan)-and no luxury car company has achieved similar results in the automobile market.


IPhone users’ sense of identity with Apple’s ecology is　CarPlay’s greatest "confidence".


Liu Yu thinksThe habit of iPhone users, or stickiness, is actually the biggest threat to the newly-built self-developed OS.


"If you want to use beeps, use beeps, and if you want to use Netease Cloud, use Netease Cloud." Liu Yu said that iOS users can pass.　CarPlayMost of the usage habits are smoothly drawn from the mobile phone to the car.


"But we don’t want users to use it in our cars.　CarPlayWe just haven’t reached it yet.　CarPlay　Such a good experience. "



If the experience can’t catch up, Liu Yu thinks the final result may be"Users will no longer use the car machine system directly, but will use it most of the time.　CarPlay」。


And then there’s the shocking part—"In the end, the data dominance of car companies will be lost.".


Throw it to who? Apple, of course. Who threw it to Apple? At least more than half of the luxury car camp and more than half of the Japanese camp.


Liu Yu gave us an example: According to the DEMO published by WWDC,CarPlay　Will know that these car company usersWhere have you been, what APP you used, how far you drive every day, how much energy you consume, and your travel habits.How about. Even the braking and steering data that can’t be obtained yet,In fact, it can also be obtained indirectly through GPS.


According to Liu Yu’s description, we think it’s more like"public test" iCar.


The chain is like this: the first generation of CarPlay won the favor of iPhone users and the support of car companies → the new generation sought deep customization → obtained basic data → accumulated data of different market segments for iCar’s smart cockpit.


This is another shocking point of Liu Yu:Car companies are willing to give data, and Apple can eat the rights of different car platforms.



Take the first batch of cooperative car companies as an example. There are nearly 100 models and more than 30 platforms in 14 car companies. If each platform supports the new generation of CarPlay, Apple’s efforts for "public beta" and the significance of the negotiation itself are huge and "horrible".


"I really don’t know how to talk about it."Liu Yu concluded.


But at the same time, we also received some different voices, such as another PM Feng Li (a pseudonym) from a new car.


He admits that the influence of the new CarPlay is very wide, but it is not the time to talk about who will change his life."The new forces didn’t quickly change the life of the traditional car factory.CarPlay　It will not kill the opponent in an instant, but no one should despise Apple. "


In addition, Feng Li believes that not all models support new ones.　CarPlay, even new　CarPlay　On cars and models, it may appear as an "apple tax".


Second, do traditional car companies really care?


What’s interesting is that,Throughout WWDC, there was no person in charge of a car company, and no specific model appeared on the "platform".


If you think this is Apple’s habit-at the WWDC in 2020, the new generation 5 Series became the first model to support the iOS14 carkey function, but it earned enough traffic.



More interestingly,At WWDC this year, BMW did not become the first batch of new ones.　CarPlay　Partner of. Equally intriguing is the absence of the parent companies of Audi and Porsche.


"As a main engine factory, I definitely don’t want to let others master the whole ecological lifeline of the car."Wang Long (pseudonym), an intelligent cockpit engineer from an independent car company, told us this.


Jiang Quan (a pseudonym), the head of an intelligent cockpit team, holds the same view. "CarPlay won’t work in China, and the OEMs won’t agree to hand over the intelligent brain to Apple. We must firmly hold it in our own hands. 」


This sentence is not difficult to understand.



As can be seen from the demonstration of the new version of CarPlay, if you don’t tell you about the existence of the mobile phone, the new CarPlay is like a complete car system, which takes over almost all the functions of the central control, which shows that the car factory needs to open a large number of bottom interfaces to Apple.


Another car system company expressed similar views to the above to us:"Apple’s HMI has a very strong apple gene, which will make many former loading plants unbearable. 」


Zhao Guan (pseudonym), the person in charge of the company, revealed two details to us from the idea of vehicle safety:


First, at present, from the perspective of demo, all the access signals are simple instrument signals, and some tt icons (tell-tale) need functional safety. This CarPlay is definitely not feasible and needs a separate hardware circuit and system.


Second, I didn’t see the access of the intelligent driving domain. This piece should also be very complicated. Each family’s apa scheme and mr scheme are different. How to access and the delay of data transmission are all problems.


According to the explanation of relevant people,"From the perspective of automobile safety, this is not a complete set of instrument display results. 」


Jiang Quan added to us: "The whole family bucket model means that the brain and face are given to Apple. In this case, the positioning, tonality and differentiation of smart cars in various OEMs are all gone, which does not meet the demands of general OEMs. 」



Wang lung also generously admitted that the new　CarPlay　After coming out, they felt a sense of crisis. But he believes that in the end, we will see if we can meet the needs of users. "Domestic OEMs have strong autonomy and are more inclined to do (car OS) by themselves. "


Wang Long also complained to us that the car machines of international car companies are difficult to use. "I can’t understand a car machine system, and the air conditioning adjustment interface can be placed in a four-level menu."


For this reason, he believes that international car companies use new　CarPlay　On the contrary, it may be a good thing, although it is equivalent to "they just handed this piece over to others."


Which piece? As mentioned aboveuser data"We all feel that these usage habits of users are the core".


We further asked Wang lung, as an iPhone user, will it be new?　CarPlay　Tempted, he affirmed, because he is the owner.



"Like Toyota, if you can use this.　CarPlayThank god. But I don’t think it’s meaningful to have our own cars and other new domestic forces. 」


Third, Huawei Qualcomm Apple, change the ring and fight again?


An old friend @ Battery King shared a point with us:If Apple’s chips enter smart cars, it will be a "dimensionality reduction blow".


He even thinks that Apple may have been tying the A-series chips or even the M-series chips of the car specification. "Otherwise, it (new　CarPlayThe adaptability of) will not be so strong, and the possibility of (soft and hard integration) will not be ruled out. "



Wang’s point of view is very interesting, but at the same time there is some truth.


Let’s take a look at the structure of A15 chip: 6-core CPU, 15.8TOPS NPU, 5-core GPU, video decoder, image processor …


Is it familiar?In fact, today’s smart phone SOC is very similar in structure to a chip., such as FSD Chip, is not much different from A15 in structure.


Even the M series used in notebook computers is essentially the same as the SOC components of NVIDIA’s Drive series-CPU, CPU, memory controller … and so on.


Liu Yu also expressed similar views.Otherwise, it can’t directly throw the instrument and the big screen at once.


But Feng Li thinks the possibility is almost zero."Apple should not supply chips to other car companies, and it has never been supplied."



When it comes to chips, two other hot words in the automobile circle recently are HarmonyOS and Snapdragon, followed by Huawei and Qualcomm.


new　CarPlay　After coming out, one of the voices we heard was that"HarmonyOS’s nemesis is coming."On the one hand, Apple’s software capability is obvious to all; on the other hand, Apple’s way of making friends is also very similar to Huawei’s.


"Apple doesn’t build cars, but Apple helps its partners build good cars", which doesn’t seem to be against it?


Liu Yu said that if Huawei is compared with Apple,For traditional car companies, HarmonyOS is not very adaptable.(refers to and　CarPlay　Compared with the adaptation cost), relatively new.　CarPlay　It will be more difficult to open the market.


AITO bound M5


Jiang Quan’s opinion is that HarmonyOS is now providing basic capabilities and basic applications, and OEMs can make their own applications. "That’s another way to play.". As for Apple’s eco-gameplay, we can only judge it after CarPlay releases the technical data.


If Huawei is facing Apple at the level of software and hardware integration, then Qualcomm is facing an old rival again in the field of general-purpose chips.


The new CarPlay will debut at the end of 2023, when Qualcomm will have brand-new car regulations.Class 8295 chip will also get on the bus. The battle between iOS and Android camps has spread from the mobile terminal to the automobile field. What’s Qualcomm’s position?


We contacted Qualcomm with questions, and the response wasIt is not convenient for us to evaluate the topic related to friendship and business, and this topic is suitable for OEM to evaluate.


Fourth, iCar officially entered the countdown?


Next year’s new CarPlay may be "the first public beta of iCar".


In other words, we should not see the real iCar before 2024-but by 2024, every car will support new ones.　CarPlay　Our cars are all customized "iCar" by car owners.


Faced with Apple’s obvious ambition, various car companies have different attitudes, including Japanese and European manufacturers who resolutely choose to cooperate, as well as the intriguing "old friend" BMW, and China’s new car that Alexander is determined to go his own way.


As observers, we encourage all-encompassing, and we hope to see hundreds of battles. At least after today, we are extremely eager to see the 2023 of the smart cockpit.


Unless otherwise specified, all interviewees are treated as aliases.


(End)

Great Wall Motor released the ＂331 Strategy＂ of coffee smart driving, and joined hands with Qualcomm and Huawei to comprehensively upgrade the smart driving strategy.

　　On December 30th, Great Wall Motor (601633) held an intelligent driving strategy upgrade conference, which unveiled the mystery of coffee intelligent driving and announced that it would realize the first full-vehicle redundant L3 automatic driving in China in 2021. At the event site, Great Wall Motor also formally signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Qualcomm and Huawei, and plans to carry out in-depth cooperation on in-vehicle smart chips and high-computing intelligent driving computing platforms to expand the ecological circle of intelligent driving industry.

　　It is reported that Coffee Smart Drive will be given priority on WEY brand products, and other brands of Great Wall Motor will be carried in the second half of 2021.

　　On the day of the conference, the share price of Great Wall Motor (601633) closed at 37.18 yuan/share, an increase of 9.39%, and the company’s market value exceeded 341.2 billion yuan.

　　Zhang Kai, the person in charge of intelligent driving of Great Wall Motor, said that the intelligent driving of coffee will be a strong support for the development of Great Wall Motor into a global technology travel company, and will also be a powerful booster for the development of Great Wall Motor.

　　What is the origin of coffee smart driving?

　　One day in the future, when more advanced autonomous driving scale is applied, can people let go of the steering wheel and enjoy a cup of coffee leisurely in the car during travel? Obviously, this is the most coveted scene of countless companies that are deeply involved in autonomous driving technology, and it is also in line with consumers’ imagination and expectation for autonomous driving technology. Great Wall Motor named its intelligent brand after coffee, hoping to meet consumers’ demand for autonomous driving more humanely.

　　In July 2020, Great Wall Motor released its vehicle intelligent brand "Coffee Smart", and put forward the research and development concept of "double intelligence integration" for the first time, combining intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit from the perspective of user experience. As soon as the news was released, the whole industry paid close attention to Great Wall Motor’s future-oriented intelligent driving strategy.

　　On December 30, Great Wall Motor officially unveiled the mystery of coffee smart driving, and announced the "331 Strategy", that is, it took three years to achieve the first user scale in the industry, the best user experience evaluation, and the most three leading scenes, and to build a leader in automatic driving in the intelligent era. The reporter of Securities Times and Car Capital learned that in 2021, Great Wall Motor will realize the first L3-level automatic driving with full vehicle redundancy in China.

　　It is understood that Coffee Smart Drive has six redundant systems including perception redundancy, controller redundancy, braking redundancy, architecture redundancy, power redundancy and steering redundancy. At the same time, Coffee Smart Drive is also equipped with the world’s first car-class high-performance, all-solid-state laser radar that can be truly mass-produced. It adopts the most advanced FLASH technology scheme in the industry, which can achieve an angular resolution of 0.05 degrees and identify potential safety hazards within 130 meters.

　　In terms of application scenarios, Great Wall Motor’s intelligent driving technology can achieve full scene coverage of high-speed and urban expressways, and can complete obstacle avoidance and lane change, multi-vehicle lane change and urban autonomous lane change. At the same time, Great Wall Motor has also made breakthroughs in difficult scenes such as car walking and cone avoidance.

　　Not only that, Great Wall Motor also pioneered the only quantitative user experience evaluation method-"user use cost", which realized detailed evaluation and extensive investigation of users through five sub-dimensions of operation cost, awareness cost, safety cost, time cost and money cost. At the same time, the AIFEED function of Coffee Smart Drive can also actively learn and adapt to the user’s driving habits and car scenes through artificial intelligence algorithms, and perceive the user’s car pain points, thus reducing the use cost and maximizing the real needs of users.

　　It is reported that in the future, coffee smart driving will be given priority in the WEY brand products, and other brands of Great Wall Motor will also be equipped with coffee smart driving one after another.

　　Join hands with Qualcomm and Huawei to expand the ecosystem of intelligent driving industry.

　　At the press conference, Great Wall Motor also formally signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Qualcomm and Huawei.

　　It is reported that in the future, Great Wall Motor will cooperate with Qualcomm on in-vehicle smart chips in the field of autonomous driving. Great Wall Motor will take the lead in adopting Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Ride platform with powerful performance on its high-end models launched in 2022, and apply it to its intelligent driving system.

　　Ai Hezhi, senior director of product marketing of Qualcomm and head of automobile business in China, said that Qualcomm will work with Great Wall Motor to build high-quality models that can reassure consumers.

　　The cooperation between the Great Wall and Huawei is more focused on the innovative technology level of intelligent network connection and intelligent driving. It is reported that Huawei will provide Great Wall Motor with a high computing power intelligent driving computing platform based on MDC, and actively cooperate with Great Wall Motor to complete various evaluations and tests of sensing components (such as lidar, camera, etc.) required for intelligent driving.

　　The Securities Times and Car Capital reporter learned that this cooperation with Great Wall Motor is Huawei MDC 610, a new generation of intelligent driving computing platform for L3-L4 automatic driving, to build an industry-leading car brain for Great Wall Motor.

　　Wang Juan, vice president of Huawei’s smart car solution BU Marketing and Sales Service Department, said that Great Wall Motor will become a high-quality leader and lead more car companies into the field of smart driving.

　　In fact, after big data, artificial intelligence, Internet and other technologies gradually penetrate into the automobile industry, no enterprise can go it alone. Industry insiders have judged that the strong alliance between Great Wall Motor and Qualcomm and Huawei will not only achieve win-win cooperation in different fields, but also further expand its intelligent driving industry ecosystem, laying a solid foundation for Great Wall Motor’s globalization strategy.

Lift the table! As long as Tucki P7 starts at 140,000, what millet SU7 should we buy？

Xpeng Motors is having a hard time now.

Xpeng Motors sold 9,026 vehicles in March, an increase of 98.6% compared with February. However, there are hidden dangers behind the increased sales data.

In March this year, Xpeng Motors’s sales volume lagged behind the new car-making forces such as the world, Ideal, Weilai, Zero Run and Extreme Krypton. In March this year, the sales volume of Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an, Wenjie AITO, LI, Zero Run, Krypton and Weilai were 32,530, 31,727, 28,984, 14,567, 13,012 and 11,866 respectively. Previously, Xpeng Motors, known as one of the "Wei Xiaoli", often ranked in the top three in the sales list, but now, Xpeng Motors has become the "old seven" in the sales list of the new car-making forces.

In the first quarter of this year, Xpeng Motors has not exceeded 10,000 vehicles for three consecutive months. In three months, Xpeng Motors only sold 21,800 vehicles. Compared with last year, Xpeng Motors’s sales have improved to some extent, but compared with the progress of its competitors, Xpeng Motors’s sales increase is very limited.

In order to save itself, Xpeng Motors has started to reduce the price. As the main sales model in Xpeng Motors, Tucki P7 sold 1,605 cars in March, and the sales volume dropped significantly compared with last year. In order to save the sales volume, this car was given a terminal discount of 84,000 yuan in Shenzhen, plus regional subsidies and replacement subsidies in Shenzhen, and the comprehensive preferential price was only 140,900 yuan.

Take the newly released Xiaomi SU7 as an example. The starting price of this Tucki P7 is about 80,000 yuan lower than it. So for consumers, it seems that Tucki P7 is much more cost-effective, not to mention that Xiaomi SU7 has stronger performance, longer battery life, more handsome appearance and better handling. After all, the price difference is 80,000 yuan.

Of course, we need to explain that the preferential Tucki P7 is a stock car, which has been in stock for more than one year, but for electric vehicles, the stock of more than one year actually does not affect the product quality. As long as the power battery is ok, there is nothing to worry about other parts.

Tucki P7 may be the most affected model by Xiaomi SU7, while Tucki P7 and Xiaomi SU7 are actually very close in positioning, both of which are pure electric coupes, and their prices are in the price range of 200,000-300,000 yuan.

The body length of Xiaomi SU7 is 4997mm, the width is 1963mm, the height is 1455mm, and the wheelbase is 3000mm, which is three meters. The Tucki P7 has a body length of 4888mm, a width of 1896mm, a height of 1450mm and a wheelbase of 2998mm, which are close, while the size of Xiaomi SU7 is a circle larger.

The price range of Tucki P7 is 209,900-339,900 yuan, and the price of Xiaomi SU7 is 215,900-299,900 yuan. It seems that Tucki P7 is 6,000 yuan cheaper. However, 209,900 yuan is still the guide price of the 2022 model 480 that is discontinued for sale, and the battery life under NEDC standard is only 480 kilometers. The starting price of Xiaomi SU7 is 215,900 yuan, and the pure battery life of the entry model is 700 kilometers under CLTC standard. The Tucki P7i Pengyi version with a guide price of 289,900 yuan has a pure battery life of 702 kilometers under CLTC standards, while the Xiaomi SU7 Pro version with a guide price of 245,900 yuan has a pure battery life of 830 kilometers under CLTC standards.

The battery life is not as good as that of the power performance. The strongest version of Tucki P7 has an acceleration of 3.9 seconds, while Xiaomi SU7 has an acceleration of 2.78 seconds. In addition, in terms of design and product configuration, both of them are not rivals of the same level. It’s time for Tucki P7 to make a change, so reducing the price has become the best choice for Tucki P7.

Tucki P7 with more than 200,000 yuan may not be very competitive in front of Xiaomi SU7, but Tucki P7 with more than 140,000 yuan is still very attractive, which may help Xpeng Motors regain some market share.

Why does the game flash back？

　　With the increasingly powerful functions of mobile phones, many friends like to play games with mobile phones, and large-screen mobile phones can also give users a very cool game experience, but sometimes when we play games on mobile phones, we often flash back, and it often happens when we flash back once and then open it again. So,Why does the game flash back?The following small series summarizes the following reasons for everyone.

Why does the game flash back?

　　Reason 1: Wrong game version (IOS/ Android)

　　Some games are relatively new, and some small game download stations may just download the game package that suits their own Android mobile phone version in a hurry and upload it. In this case, your mobile phone and the downloaded game package are actually incompatible.

　　Reason 2: Resolution incompatibility (Android)

　　If you are a new 1080P mobile phone or some mobile phones with different resolution from the mainstream, it is probably because of the resolution, which directly affects whether the game can run smoothly.

　　Reason 3: The system version is too low/inconsistent (IOS/ Android)

　　If you are a mobile phone with IOS version IOS5 or below and Android version 2.3.0 or below, then your mobile phone system version is a little too low, and some games may flash back.

　　Reason 4: Antivirus software (Android)

　　In some versions of old antivirus software, some games will still be banned from running under unknown circumstances, resulting in flashback during the game running.

　　Reason 5: No google play framework (Android)

　　If you want to run the game on Android, you must rely on the google play framework. If your mobile phone doesn’t have the goole App Store, many games may not run normally.

　　The above is an introduction to the reasons for playing the game, hoping to help everyone.

Oho Ou： Idol is not a derogatory term. I can fight for the role.

Special feature of 1905 film network At the premiere of the Shanghai International Film Festival, some media asked Oho Ou, who has many fans, whether he will choose an actor or an idol for himself in the future. Looking back at Oho Ou’s "report card" in the past few years, the answer to this question may be easy to find.

According to the current criteria of "rice circle", Oho Ou, who was born in the talent show, will undoubtedly be called "idol". Time flies, the "fast men" players of that year have already embarked on different development paths. Some people have cross-border variety shows, some are still studying music, and some have even faded out of this circle.

Oho Ou also often "disappears", plunged into the crew and stayed out for several months. Fans ridicule "how people are gone" and worry that he is "exposed" too little. He appreciates everyone’s understanding, but he is not worried about himself. In his view, "idol" is by no means a derogatory term. Compared with these different identities, Oho Ou is more afraid of being "defined": "I feel that I have many faces, and I hope I can show them in different roles."

　

From the beginning to the following,, … … Oho Ou suddenly realized the fun in the performance — —After going to the character’s life, making his choices and experiencing all kinds of things, he feels that he has become "rich", which can’t be given by daily life.

Oho Ou said frankly that at the beginning of his career, he "didn’t want to know what he really wanted to do". He found a "serious thing" through acting and wanted to pursue something, which made him feel good. Although many times, no one can predict the final result of a work, Oho Ou always keeps a normal heart and even cherishes every opportunity he gets.

　

In the interview, he even told us very frankly: "Now there are fewer and fewer opportunities, and many times we have to touch them." But as long as I seize an opportunity, Oho Ou said firmly: I am willing to work hard for this role.

The following is Oho Ou’s self-report

　

After reading the script of "Desperate" in the early stage, I had an idea, hoping to have the opportunity to play a villain. Director Gan Jianyu has been grinding this script for more than three years, and director Cao Baoping has joined us. After talking, I think I can try the role of Xia Xi.

　

I quite like Xia Xi, who doesn’t talk much and is energetic. This kind of marginal figure is extreme, and his experience is much worse than ours. Sometimes actors will like roles with more space, which will make them more enjoyable.

Xixi and his brother (Xia Tao) feel like enemies with everyone in their world. We have discussed their pre-history before, which is not reflected in the script and follow-up, but we will think, why did they come to this day? What did they go through, what happened, and why did they go on such a road of no return?

　

We don’t know the real reason, just give ourselves a preset. There is a line in the play that says "Xia Tao lost a leg because of Xia Xi". For a person like Xia Xi, he can work hard for his brother. Their "abnormal" brotherhood is quite interesting.

After filming Left Ear, I think the performance is quite interesting: you have been to the character’s life, made his choices, and experienced what he experienced, which will make you feel very different. Many roles you may not experience without acting, some may be fictional, and some may be real events. Being an actor will make you feel a lot richer.

I won’t (mind joining the group to reduce exposure), but fans may mind. I belong to the type that I will devote myself to doing one thing. In fact, people have limited energy, so everything can’t be yours. If you want to do something, you must learn to give up something. I think I’m also pursuing what I want. Fortunately, I think my fans quite understand me. In fact, if you haven’t seen each other for a long time, you will feel that "how can this person be gone?" Actually, I was filming in the crew at that time.

　

I really hope to meet you more often through the role. I didn’t think about what I wanted to do before, but now I have a serious thing to pursue, which I think is also quite good.

　

From idol singers to actors, there are still doubts about me now, and I think there will still be in the future. If you question this thing, you must listen to good opinions, and you don’t have to pay attention to those who deliberately seek trouble. If you say that you are angry with this kind of thing, you may be "dead" early. It is very important to have your own pursuit and thinking. Sometimes I think some questions are correct, so I have to keep working hard.Maybe after ten years, some people will question me, but I will continue to work hard after twenty years. This is how people keep going up.

　

I think idols are not derogatory terms, but also a good existence. Someone just asked me, do you want to be defined? I said that as an actor, of course, I don’t want to be defined. I feel that I am quite multifaceted and can be shown through my role.

　

I think everyone’s opinions, whether idols, actors or singers, are ok. In fact, this is quite rich. I don’t have to compete with others for what they think, so I have to do it. I know what I am doing, what I want, and why I work hard.

Now I sometimes shoot some movies that I want to do and like. In fact, it’s not an investor, it’s just that we do something that we really like together. I hope we can be free without being bound.

　

Especially now (good projects) opportunities are getting less and less, so we should touch them all. I especially cherish every opportunity and everyone who has helped me. If one day I suddenly meet a character that I particularly like, then I can work hard for it.

Ouhao Q&A;

Of course, we also brought Oho Ou the most concerned issue of "Seagull" (fans and friends):

　

Xiao Shang Shang: Do you have any plans to make a record?

　

Oho Ou:I was planning last year, but the plan couldn’t keep up with the change. Many times, I spent several months in the crew, and half a year may have passed after another publicity. They said they haven’t sung for a long time, and I said I also hope to have a new style. New Oho Ou, new records to meet with you. But it must be done seriously. It’s the same as the state of doing nothing but filming for more than two years now. I ho pe to do it well, at least to get through myself first.

　　

Xiao Shang Shang: Will you consider a more sweet love scene next?

　

Oho Ou:I made a play that was quite sweet. It was called "I don’t know what’s in my heart". I have played an easy role. Every day, I just talk about love, things at home and things at the company. You just said that many of my roles are heavy, which I think is a little easier.

Xiao Shangshang: Not a overbearing president?

　

Oho Ou:No, he may be overbearing in some ways, but he is not the president (laughs). His bullying is that if you love someone, you will be recognized for life, just you! I think it’s quite fun. You can go after it.Eat this Amway! )

　

Xiao Shang Shang: What kind of entertainment are there in private?

　

Oho Ou:Playing basketball and watching movies seems to be nothing … … Listen to the music. Because I spend a lot of time in the crew, and the crew, you know, is no different from going to work. I actually get up and work all day in the morning from nine to five, and go back to bed after filming. Usually, if I have a holiday, I will travel with my friends and buy some trendy sneakers I like. I am usually bored.

　

Xiao Shang Shang: How do you relax on the set?

Oho Ou:More boring, except filming, I just go back to sleep, occasionally watch some movies, and for a while I will let myself watch a movie every day.

Xiao Shang Shang: Listen to your description as if entering the state of the elderly in advance?

　

Oho Ou:That’s what they said about me. (who? ) I have been filming for two or three years, and I feel a little tired. Many times it’s not that you don’t want to. I also want to travel with my friends or something. But always in the process o f work, you can’t relax yourself, so I think I have to go out for a walk next.

　

Xiao Shang Shang: Did shooting so many plays make you feel more calm?

Oho Ou:I’m old.

　

Xiao Shang Shang: During the "Desperate" roadshow, you took a baby on a hot search. Do you think you are good at taking a baby?

Oho Ou:I like children very much. I like to play with children, because they are the cutest at that age, and they are innocent and have no troubles, so I like to play with children and tease them.

Chairman Aauto Quicker quit.

Original Guo Ruyi’s business figure

Author: Guo Ruyi

In another week, 41-year-old Su Hua will no longer be the chairman of Aauto Quicker.

On the evening of 20th, according to the announcement issued by Aauto Quicker, from October 29th, Suhua will step down as chairman and be replaced by another founder, Cheng Yixiao. Cheng Yixiao also served as CEO of Aauto Quicker.

However, Su Hua is not completely out of Aauto Quicker. He continues to be an executive director and a member of the remuneration committee. More importantly, his different voting rights will not change.

This is another handover of Aauto Quicker’s top leadership power after Su Hua resigned as CEO two years ago. A week later, Cheng Yixiao will become the undisputed number one in company management.

Aauto Quicker, where Hong Kong stocks are listed, implements the arrangement that each share has different rights. Each class A share can cast ten votes, and each class B share can cast one vote. At present, Suhua’s shareholding ratio is nearly 10%, slightly higher than that of Cheng Yixiao, and it is the largest individual shareholder in Aauto Quicker. Su Hua also has more voting rights than Cheng Yixiao.

Aauto Quicker’s announcement specially emphasized that their voting rights have not changed, which still continues the current pattern of shareholders’ rights. But even so, in terms of internal governance, the influence of Suhua will undoubtedly be further diluted. According to Aauto Quicker’s official statement, he "has to focus on other affairs".

Ten years ago, Su Hua, who had been tossing and turning repeatedly between starting a business and a big factory, met Cheng Yixiao through the introduction of Aauto Quicker investors. At that time, Aauto Quicker had just started, and it was still a product for users to make and share GIF animation. The first meeting between the two touched Cheng Yixiao, and he decided to introduce Suhua, so he did not hesitate to give up his considerable shares.

Since then, Su Hua has served as CEO, Cheng Yixiao as Chief Product Officer, and Aauto Quicker has started to move towards running all the way as a short video giant.

Aauto Quicker’s entrepreneurial myth is one of the most eye-catching cases in the golden age of Internet in the past years. In February 2021, Aauto Quicker landed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and became the "first short video". Now, its active users have reached hundreds of millions.

Su Hua also earned hundreds of millions of net worth by this. According to the 2023 Hurun Global Rich List, its wealth reached 31 billion yuan, ranking 668th. It took only ten years from obscurity to becoming a man of the hour in business.

In January this year, Suhua reduced its holdings in Aauto Quicker and cashed in about HK$ 3.8 billion. At that time, it was announced that it would "invest in charitable donations, cutting-edge scientific and technological exploration and infrastructure investment". Nowadays, there are fixed templates for the reasons of retiring or cashing out in the internet circle, that is, charity and cutting-edge technology. Suhua also used this trick, but the market didn’t seem to buy it, and Aauto Quicker’s share price plummeted by 6% the next day.

Su Hua’s resignation as chairman is the latest move of Aauto Quicker’s frequent personnel adjustment in recent years. Since the second half of 2021, the internal structure of Aauto Quicker has been adjusted many times, and it is not surprising that the authority of senior executives has changed and whether they will stay or not. Also in January this year, Aauto Quicker CTO Chen Dingjia resigned on the grounds that "more time should be devoted to family and personal affairs."

Corporate governance in Aauto Quicker once had a very distinctive feature, that is, the relatively rare dual-core governance. Similarly, R&F Property, a real estate industry, has been jointly run by Li Silian and Zhang Li for a long time, which is known as the dual boss system. In Aauto Quicker, two parallel hills are Suhua and Cheng Yixiao.

The predecessor of Aauto Quicker was led by Cheng Yixiao, and Suhua played a significant role in the process of growing into a short video social platform. This is a subtle entrepreneurial combination. The two people’s equity and voting rights are close. Ideally, they will share the same share, especially in the early stage. In fact, this model did have a honeymoon period of several years. Generally speaking, Suhua was responsible for investment and financing, commercialization, internationalization and functional departments, while Cheng Yixiao focused on product and technology business. However, if it is not handled properly, dual-core governance will easily lead to internal friction.

Before Aauto Quicker went public, there was some overlap in terms of authority between Su Cheng and Su Cheng. According to comprehensive media reports, it was once common to select sides and divide factions within Aauto Quicker. This has become a major problem criticized by the outside world in Aauto Quicker. It was not until Suhua stepped down as CEO and retreated from the front line of management to the position of chairman that this dual-core governance pattern changed.

In the past two years, Cheng Yixiao, who became the CEO of Aauto Quicker, gradually got used to this role. Before that, he was always considered to be inarticulate and not good at making public appearances. However, under the circumstance that Suhua made less and less public appearances, he assumed more responsibilities in this respect. And more like a comprehensive CEO.

In terms of performance, Cheng Yixiao’s leadership performance in the past two years has also been recognized. Aauto Quicker’s domestic business has been profitable for four consecutive quarters, and it achieved overall profitability at the group level for the first time in the first quarter of this year. Of course, there are also challenges, such as the pressure of growth and the pressure of stock price. When Aauto Quicker was first listed, its scenery was infinite and its market value was high, but now its total market value has shrunk by nearly 80%.

It is in this situation that Aauto Quicker’s "key person" changed from two to one, and the power was finally unified into Cheng Yixiao’s hands.

What awaits Suhua next may be a more leisurely life like a wild crane. After retiring, the Internet tycoons with financial freedom are usually less known to the outside world. Boss Ma is an exception. In April this year, Suhua registered and established a software information company, and maybe there will be other actions in the future. The cutting-edge technology that big bosses especially admire, I wonder if Suhua will make substantial progress.

Aauto Quicker, which belongs to him, has stirred up years, and many of them will become the past.

Original title: "Chairman Aauto Quicker quit"

35 people were arrested and 16 macaques were rescued in a big case of raising monkeys live in online celebrity.

　　Cctv newsAt present, the webcast platform is developing rapidly. Some people touch the red line of the law in order to attract attention and become famous quickly. Some time ago, Pan Cheng Xiao, a young woman from Baoying, Yangzhou, attracted a large number of fans to watch her live webcast, and even attracted the police, which led to a major case.

　　Xiao Pan, who is in his twenties this year, found that many peers are playing all kinds of strange live broadcasts or posting interesting small videos, which can attract a large number of netizens to watch. Inspired by this, she had a whim. Since July last year, she has been broadcasting live monkeys on the Internet, and has released several videos of raising monkeys on the short video platform.

　　In the video, the little monkey wears all kinds of small clothes and sometimes jumps up and down, which is very naughty and lovely. Many netizens have left messages saying that the little monkey is so cute that they want to have one. Some netizens also asked how to buy a little monkey. What Xiao Pan never expected was that it didn’t take long to win a lot of attention and envy, but the police found the door!

　　Illegal! Buy and raise animals under state protection without authorization.

　　After comparison, police in Baoying, Yangzhou found that the little monkey in the video has high eyebrow bone, deep eye socket and cheek pouches, which are typical characteristics of macaques. Therefore, the police suspect that the little monkey played by Xiao Pan in the video is probably a national second-class protected animal macaque, and it is illegal to buy and raise national protected animals without authorization.

　　In the face of the arrival of the police, Xiao Pan said that he never thought that raising monkeys would alarm the police. He usually likes very small animals, and when he saw someone doing this on some live broadcast platforms, he moved his mind to raise monkeys.

　　Then, how to confirm that the little monkey in Xiao Pan’s video is the national second-class protected animal macaque?

　　Liu Peng, a policeman of the Public Security Police Brigade of Baoying County Public Security Bureau, Yangzhou CityAt that time, we immediately sent this monkey to the judicial appraisal center of Nanjing Forestry College for appraisal. After the identification of relevant departments, this macaque, the monkey she raised, belongs to the macaque and belongs to the national second-class protected animal.

　　According to Article 341 of China’s Criminal Law, anyone who illegally hunts and kills rare and endangered wild animals under special state protection, or illegally buys, transports or sells rare and endangered wild animals and their products under special state protection shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention and fined; If the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined; If the circumstances are especially serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years and shall also be fined or confiscated.

　　At the same time, Article 22 of China’s Wildlife Protection Law stipulates that the sale, acquisition and utilization of wildlife under second-class national protection or its products must be approved by the wildlife administrative department of the government of the province, autonomous region or municipality directly under the Central Government or its authorized unit.

　　See female netizens live broadcast to raise monkeys and contact to buy.

　　The law clearly stipulates that it is illegal to buy and sell state-protected animals privately, so where did Xiao Pan buy the macaques? Does she have the qualification to legally buy macaques? Xiao Pan said that she didn’t get the qualification to buy and raise macaques, but in June 2017, she saw a female netizen named Xiao Doudou live on the short video platform, and she was deeply attracted by the little monkey in the video.

　　The female netizen named Xiao Doudou said that she could help Xiao Pan buy a monkey, and the cost was 11,000 yuan. At this time, Xiao Pan didn’t know that the monkey he wanted to buy was the national second-class protected animal macaque. In order to buy a monkey, Xiao Pan also borrowed money from the bank, and then transferred money to the netizen Xiao Doudou through WeChat. Soon after, he received news from the other party that the monkey had "boarded" the bus from Shijiazhuang to Xuzhou.

　　On the afternoon of Xiao Pan’s transfer to female netizen Xiao Doudou, Xiao Pan came to Xuzhou long-distance bus station and took the monkey to Baoying for breeding. Since then, Xiao Pan has often posted videos and pictures of raising monkeys on short video platforms and WeChat. With more and more videos of raising monkeys, the attention of netizens is getting higher and higher.

　　Although some netizens left a message to Xiao Pan during the period, telling her that this is not an ordinary little monkey, but a macaque. It is illegal to raise it privately and should be sent to the zoo. However, Xiao Pan was reluctant to send the macaque away and kept it with luck until it was captured by the police. Xiao Pan said that he only saw the cuteness of the monkey, but he didn’t know that his behavior was suspected of breaking the law.

　　Tracking: whether to store, buy and resell illegal trading chains

　　According to Xiao Pan’s account, the police vaguely felt that the problems involved were not small. Where is the seller of macaques? Is Pan the only buyer? Will there be an illegal trading chain that specializes in buying and selling macaques?

　　According to the information provided by Xiao Pan, the police paid attention to the account of Xiao Doudou, a monkey seller, on the short video platform in Aauto Quicker, and found that a young woman with the net name Xiao Doudou and her boyfriend actually operated the account. The content of the live broadcast is mostly the living condition of the little monkey. In the video, the little monkey sometimes holds a bottle, sometimes climbs up and down, and sometimes takes a bath and eats fruit.

　　The police also found that netizen Xiao Doudou and her boyfriend have raised many macaques. Sometimes in a live broadcast, there will be two or three small macaques, and the macaques appearing in different live broadcasts are different. The investigators roughly estimate that there are as many as seven or eight macaques used to shoot videos.

　　After careful analysis and investigation, the police believe that in addition to the live broadcast of monkeys and the release of small videos of the living conditions of little monkeys, netizen Xiao Doudou and her boyfriend are also seriously suspected of openly selling macaques.

　　Moreover, on her homepage, she also clearly wrote, adding micro, that is, adding her WeChat, please talk about buying macaques in detail.

　　Netizen Xiao Doudou’s live broadcast of raising monkeys has attracted many netizens’ onlookers, and the number of hits has been soaring, even on the popular recommendation. So, did the live broadcast platform notice that it was suspected of breaking the law for her to post videos and related remarks about raising macaques?

　　Frequent number change, live broadcast, real identity is difficult to confirm.

　　The police investigation found that whenever the number of video hits of netizens Xiao Doudou soared, the platform would give her a title, but the title did not stop them from broadcasting the monkey live. Frequent live broadcast of changing the number became their countermeasure to deal with the title punishment. Before long, they will re-register their accounts with other identities, and once again broadcast live monkeys and release small videos of monkeys with the nickname of Xiao Doudou. Frequent live broadcast of changing the number brings difficulties in locking the real identity of the suspect. In order to detect the case as soon as possible and rescue the macaque, the police have found out the identities of the monkey seller Xiao Doudou and her boyfriend after many twists and turns. The netizen Xiao Doudou’s surname is Ma and her boyfriend’s surname is Li, both of whom live in Shijiazhuang, Hebei. Immediately, the police rushed to Shijiazhuang. After half a month of arranging, they locked their residence and immediately arrested them.

　　Spend 8,000 yuan to buy through pet QQ group.

　　After the arrest, the suspects Ma and Li confessed that at first they all saw netizens live broadcast monkeys, felt cute, and wanted to gain attention, so they moved the idea of buying monkeys. Later, it was introduced that they bought a baby macaque in Henan at a price of 8,000 yuan through a pet QQ group, and raised monkeys live through online platforms such as "Aauto Quicker" and "Volcano".

　　During the live broadcast, Ma and Li not only won praises from many netizens, but also many netizens asked how to buy them, which made them see the "financial road" and decided to be middlemen to earn the difference.

　　A total of 16 macaques were purchased in half a year.

　　After the trial, the police found that in just half a year, the suspects Ma and Li bought a total of 16 macaques. Except for two seized by the police and one that they had given to netizens, the other 13 macaques were sold to 15 buyers involved in the case, including Xiao Pan, distributed in seven provinces including Jiangsu, Inner Mongolia, Shandong and Sichuan.

　　Trace the source of illegal trafficking in macaques

　　After finding out that Ma and Li were "middlemen", the police followed the line according to their trading situation and found the source of illegal trafficking in macaques.

　　After the arrangement, the police locked in the person who illegally sold macaques to Ma and Li, that is, the suspect Bao, who runs a macaque farm in Xinye, Henan. In February 2018, the police arrested the suspect Bao in Nanyang, Henan.

　　Driven by the interests, the criminal suspect Bao knew that Ma and Li did not have the qualification to buy and raise macaques, but they still made illegal transactions with them. After negotiating the price, Bao usually transported the macaques to a service area in Shijiazhuang by bus consignment, and then Ma and Li took them away and sold them to many parts of the country. For the reason of illegally selling macaques, the suspect Bao gave a perfect explanation.

　　Criminal suspect Bao MouBecause it is a little monkey itself, he is very charming after they get it. They are all fed good milk powder. I think they are also protecting animals, which is better than me. I think it is out of this idea.

　　Ignoring the law, privately raising macaques is actually said to be protecting animals. Is Bao’s statement tenable? What is the truth of the matter? The police quickly turned to Anhui, Shanxi, Shandong and other places to find the whereabouts of illegally sold macaques, and found that many macaques had died because of poor feeding.

　　35 people were arrested and 16 macaques were rescued.

　　The police investigation found that from June 2017 to the incident, the suspect Bao had sold 36 macaques without the approval of the relevant authorities, including 16 macaques sold to Ma and Li, and the other 20 were sold directly by Bao. Baoying police went to ten provinces and cities successively, and arrested 35 middlemen, sellers and buyers involved, and rescued 16 macaques.

　　The police sent the rescued 16 macaques to the Wildlife Rescue Center in Zhuyuwan Scenic Spot Zoo in Yangzhou. What about the rescued monkeys now?

　　Veterinarian Xu introduced that these 16 macaques were only three or four months old when they were first delivered, and some macaques also appeared unsociable. Macaques, as social animals, are not suitable for private breeding, which will do harm to their psychology and body, and parasites on macaques also do some harm to people.

　　At present, the criminal suspect Bao sells macaques without authorization, and his behavior has been suspected of illegally selling precious and endangered wild animals. Yangzhou Baoying procuratorate approved the arrest of Bao according to law; Ma and Li were separately filed for accountability; 32 buyers involved in the case, including Xiao Pan, were taken compulsory measures by the public security organs.

　　There are many chaos in the bottomless webcast for fame.

　　Some people ignored the legal bottom line in order to become "online celebrity", which gave birth to the chaos of webcasting. For example, Xiao Pan and others who illegally buy macaques.

　　After the trial, the police learned that in the case of illegally buying and selling macaques, the initial motivation of the buyers involved was almost always to raise monkeys to gain eyeballs and seek attention.

　　In this case, Song, a buyer involved in Shandong, is a well-known local online celebrity. She hopes to attract netizens and attract business by raising macaques.

　　Multi-platform "wild live broadcast" attracts tens of thousands of people to watch.

　　What Song didn’t expect was that the macaque he bought at a high price died because of poor breeding, which not only did not attract business, but alerted the police.

　　In fact, online celebrity, who stepped on a minefield like Song, is not a case. There is more than one anchor who broke the law in order to win praise and attention. In addition to illegally purchasing and raising state-protected animals on the webcast platform, what’s more, they also hunt state-protected animals live on the Internet, which is called "wild live broadcast", sometimes attracting tens of thousands of people to watch at the same time.

　　An anchor group named "Cui Hua dining tables" on Huya live broadcast platform broadcasted the whole process of hunting wild bamboo rats, which are "national three protected animals". Two anchors angered two captured bamboo rats with branches, causing one of them to be bitten with blood. At present, "Cui Hua dining tables" has been permanently titled by the platform.

　　In May of this year, an online male anchor in Jiangsu broadcast live bird catching in the wild in order to get a gift for sucking powder, and he will face more than just the title processing. After investigation, the man has captured more than 40 birds of all kinds, all of which belong to provincial key or national three-protected animals. At present, he has been captured by Zhenjiang Forest Public Security Bureau, and the case is under further investigation.

　　Publishing video of hunting and protecting animals is also suspected of breaking the law.

　　The release of videos related to hunting and protecting animals can also escape the French Open. An underage netizen in Guangdong posted a video of his father Su’s killing python in the WeChat circle of friends, which attracted a lot of forwarding. After the police found it, they immediately searched the suspect Su’s home and found a State-level protected animal python and eight glass wine bottles, including 12 eagles and 18 snakes with important ecological, scientific and social values. At present, the case has been transferred to the procuratorate for review and prosecution.

　　The State Forestry Administration said: "We must severely crack down on all kinds of live broadcast platforms suspected of hunting and killing wildlife under state key protection and hunting wildlife under non-state key protection without a license."

　　Live feeding of state-protected animals and live hunting of wild animals, why are similar illegal live broadcasts repeatedly prohibited? In this regard, what kind of responsibility does the webcast platform need to bear?

　　Experts believe that behind the attention of netizens, there are attractive economic benefits, and some online celebrity’s legal awareness is weak, which are the reasons why illegal live broadcasts are repeatedly banned. Webcast is suspected of breaking the law, and the network anchor should bear the corresponding responsibility, and even bear criminal responsibility in serious cases.

　　According to experts, the webcast platform should not only do a good job in verifying the identity of network anchors, but also deal with anchors suspected of violating the law in a timely manner. It should also actively cooperate with the work of relevant regulatory authorities and assume the obligation to report.

　　In addition, experts also believe that the webcasting platform can do more than just titles, but also strengthen the supervision of popular videos, so as not to be a hotbed of "internet plus crime".

　　How to deal with the illegal live broadcast of some network anchors after their titles are changed? The Regulations on the Administration of Internet Live Broadcasting Services issued by the National Network Information Office stipulates that live broadcasting shall be managed by classification, and a credit rating management system for Internet live broadcasters shall be established, and a blacklist management system shall be established.

　　It is worth noting that not only the webcast platform and network anchor are regulated, but also the netizen comment area is not a place of extra-legality. The Regulations on the Administration of Internet Live Broadcasting Service requires that Internet live broadcasting service providers should strengthen the real-time management of live interactive links such as comments and barrage, and be equipped with corresponding management personnel.

Xiaomi Automobile has finally arrived, and Lei Jun has created a new LOGO with a billion dollars, which will be unveiled on December 28th.

The Xiaomi car with high attention has finally arrived. Lei Jun personally publicized and the official "limit" of Xiaomi Automobile was warmed up. Although Xiaomi Automobile registered an official account, the official did not release any content about Xiaomi Automobile. Recently, the official information of Xiaomi Automobile has also been updated: on December 28th, Xiaomi Automobile will hold a technical conference, and the previously warmed-up Xiaomi SU7 will also be unveiled at the Xiaomi Automobile Technology Conference, which means that Xiaomi Automobile is finally coming.

According to the official account of xiaomi Automobile, the avatar should be the Logo of its own car. The collision combination of Xiaomi on a black background looks very textured, and the overall design is the same as the Xiaomi brand LOGO. Xiaomi Auto’s Weibo account has exceeded 90,000 fans by the time of our press release, and the official WeChat account and video number have also been launched, which are also the contents of the official Xiaomi Auto Technology Conference.

The head of the company, Lei Jun, also said: "Today, it is the 1000th day that Xiaomi has officially built a car. We officially announced that the Xiaomi Automobile Technology Conference will be held on December 28th." "Building a car, there is no shortcut to the century-old track. Adhere to the positive development, start from the bottom core technology, invest ten times, and build a good car! These technologies will be officially displayed to everyone at the Xiaomi Automobile Technology Conference on December 28. "

Previously, Xiaomi Automobile has completed the new car declaration. It is reported that Xiaomi’s first new car, SU7, will launch several versions, including standard version, Pro, Max and other versions. In terms of battery life, there are four battery life versions of 628km, 668km, 800km and 750km, and four-wheel drive models will also be available.

Although XIAOMI has done a good job in keeping secrets, netizens have released the interior of Xiaomi SU7 before, but we only saw the steering wheel shape of the new car and the intelligent big screen of central control. The "Xiaomi" logo on the steering wheel highlights the identity tag of Xiaomi’s first car. It is reported that the new car will be equipped with MIUI car independently developed by Xiaomi. This car will provide users with an intuitive interface and rich applications, and also support voice control and touch screen operation. The new car will also provide options including ETC, exterior rearview mirror, skylight glass, laser radar and so on.

The car ecology is also the highlight. As Xiaomi announced that "澎湃 OS" has opened up the ecology of people and cars, it also means that it has the card of "cross-terminal and cross-scene experience", and can face Huawei’s series of models and Geely Flyme AUTO models directly, and compete with them.

Not only that, in terms of intelligent driving, Xiaomi is also constantly moving. Two years ago, Xiaomi Circle acquired DeepMotion Tech Limited, an autonomous driving company with extensive layout in the fields of high-precision positioning, high-precision maps and 3D scene reconstruction. According to the latest development of automatic driving technology announced by Xiaomi, we can speculate that Xiaomi SU7 intelligent driving assistance system will be infinitely close to L3 level.

According to the latest information released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in November, Xiaomi Automobile has previously declared two versions of the model, positioning the Xiaomi SU7 for medium and large pure trams. The body size of the new car is 4997/1963/1455mm and the wheelbase is 3000mm respectively. There is also an exposure size on the Internet: 4860mm*1980mm*1666mm respectively.

Power and battery life are also the focus of netizens and users. According to the information of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Xiaomi SU7 single-motor rear-drive model will be equipped with a 73.6kWh Foday lithium iron phosphate battery, with a battery life of 628km(20-inch wheel hub) or 668km(19-inch wheel hub). The new car also offers a dual-motor four-wheel drive model, which will be equipped with a 101kWh Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited ternary lithium battery, with a battery life of 800km(19-inch wheel hub) or 750km(20-inch wheel hub), which is comparable to that of similar products on the market.

For his own car, Lei Jun said that the average car company will probably invest three or four hundred people and one or two billion R&D funds to make a car. But Xiaomi is different. The first car of Xiaomi Automobile invested 3,400 engineers, and the entire R&D investment exceeded 10 billion, which is equivalent to using more than 10 times of investment to build a car.

"I am particularly worried that if it doesn’t catch fire when it comes up, everyone won’t buy it. This will definitely be very worrying." Lei Jun said firmly.

It is understood that the design of Xiaomi SU7 was designed by Li Tianyuan, a former designer of BMW iX. Netizens said that the new car had the shadow of Porsche Taycan, which also reflected netizens’ recognition of Xiaomi’s new car design.

Whether it is design or in-car technology, intelligent configuration and autonomous driving, including new car space and endurance, it has good competitiveness. However, it is a little regrettable that Lei Jun also revealed that the content of this conference is mainly about display technology, and the products will not be displayed, which also means that information such as new car pricing will depend on it later. However, the topic of discussion about the pricing of Xiaomi SU7 has been going on, and many people think that this car will be less than 200,000 yuan.

However, according to its positioning, the new car will face hot-selling products such as BYD Han EV and Tesla Model 3, while a series of hard-core products, such as Extreme Krypton 007, Star Road Star Era ES, Zhijie S7, Aouita 12 and Yinhe E8, which have just been listed, have the same strength and the pressure they face can be imagined.

Another thing that is good for Xiaomi Auto is that it has its own traffic, especially the founder traffic of Lei Jun, and the "mystery" marketing accumulated over the years is also a big killer, which also makes it far more concerned than its peers. However, before Huawei took the lead in the car ecology, and after a series of encirclement and suppression by competitors at the same level, whether Xiaomi Automobile can become an instant hit still needs market verification.

Huang Xuhua said: "Before I was transferred to Beijing, the leader only told me to go to Beijing for business, and I didn’t bring my luggage. My family asked me what unit I was in Beijing, but I never answered. When my father died, he only knew that his son was in Beijing and only knew his son’s mailbox number. "

　　In 1987, Shanghai Wenhui Monthly published the reportage "A Life Without a Name", which described the life experience of the chief designer of China nuclear submarine and mentioned "Chief Designer Huang". Huang Xuhua’s 30-year secret life was gradually revealed to the world.

　　"There is no waste in this life. Life belongs to nuclear submarines and the motherland, no regrets!"

　　"the most distinguished passenger in the second class of high-speed rail"

　　On the second-class seat of the high-speed rail, the white-haired old man was correcting something with pen and paper. Wear old shoes barefoot and look focused.

　　Even an ordinary person, it is not easy to do this, but the identity of this seemingly ugly old man is not simple. The first batch of academicians of China Academy of Engineering — —Liu Xianlin.

　　Liu Xianlin, 78 years old, is an active advocate of localization of surveying and mapping instruments, honorary president of China Academy of Surveying and Mapping, and has won the first prize of national scientific and technological progress twice.

　　Besides poetry, Wu Yishu has a broader life. Wu Yishu is interested in chemistry, and she is a representative of chemistry class at school. According to other contestants, Wu Yishu’s future ideal is to do scientific research.

If Europe wants to realize its ambition of power battery, why can’t it bypass China？

　　China-Europe battery industry is forming a new bond, with capital, technology and market intertwined and deeply integrated. Strengthening mutually beneficial cooperation between Chinese and European enterprises will help both sides give full play to their respective advantages and take the initiative in the global new energy vehicle market.

　　Until 2021, the batteries of electric vehicles produced in Europe were basically from abroad. Europe has to face the fact that Asian companies occupy a major share of the global battery market. With the leading image of China battery enterprises appearing in front of global users, Europe has stepped up efforts to support local battery manufacturers, and the cooperation and competition between the two sides in the battery market are deeply intertwined. Strengthening mutually beneficial cooperation may be the right way for China and Europe to jointly deal with climate change and energy crisis.

　　Why did Europe give up the road of local battery production before? Why should we rearrange the relevant industrial chains? What are the difficulties in realizing this vision? Can the research and development of new batteries "overtake in corners" … … The reporter of Science and Technology Daily in Germany interviewed Zhang Lin, a professor at the Institute of Solid State Physics of the University of Hanover, Germany, and Dr Kai-Christian Moeller, a spokesman for the Hof Battery Alliance in Flawn, and other battery experts.

　　Opportunities are rare, and China batteries are integrated into the European market.

　　China’s batteries and new energy vehicles are constantly entering the European market. At the Hanover International Commercial Auto Show, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, a battery manufacturer from China, signed cooperation agreements with a number of leading global vehicle companies and won the Daimler Truck Supplier Award. Later, the German car rental company SIXT signed an order for 100,000 new energy vehicles with BYD, an electric vehicle company in China, and the overall development momentum of China’s new energy industry was good.

　　According to the report of market research organization SNE Research, in the first half of 2022, the installed capacity of global power batteries was 202GWh, a significant increase of 75.65% compared with 115GWh in the same period last year. Among the TOP20 enterprises, there are 15 enterprises in China, with a total market share of 61.88%. Of the 12 power battery manufacturers with a year-on-year growth rate of over 100%, 11 are China enterprises.

　　Since 2017, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited has been the global power battery sales champion for five consecutive years. In the first half of 2022, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited’s power batteries accounted for 34.16% in the world. "We are proud to be an important force in promoting the electrification of the industry together with other leading global companies." Li Xiaoning, CEO of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited Overseas Business Department, said this at Hanover International Commercial Auto Show.

　　Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited CTP and MTV innovative batteries, or BYD brand-new blade batteries, China’s power battery products have comprehensive advantages in safety performance, strength, endurance, service life, charging and discharging power, low temperature performance and so on.

　　At the same time, the sales of electric vehicles in Europe are growing rapidly. According to the data of European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), about one tenth of the new cars sold in the EU in the first half of 2022 are pure electric vehicles. Europe plans to phase out gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles by 2035. Europe, which still lacks local battery companies, has become the largest overseas market for power batteries in China.

　　The cost is too high, and European companies once gave up battery production.

　　Europe has always been an important base for battery research, but for cost reasons, Europe has gradually given up producing batteries in recent years.

　　According to experts from Daimler, Daimler was a pioneer in electric vehicle research and produced lithium batteries in Saxony, Germany as early as 2012. However, compared with other manufacturers’ batteries, its products do not have much advantage, coupled with limited production capacity and high cost. After persisting in losses for three years, Daimler closed the lithium battery production plant in December 2015.

　　At that time, Daimler CEO dieter zetsche said: "Daimler used to be the only German company that produced its own batteries, but today we realize that we can purchase it all over the world!"

　　Bosch, an automotive electronics supplier, is also one of the early companies engaged in the battery business of electric vehicles, and has many related patents. As of August, 2021, Bosch ranked third in the patent application of lithium battery industry in the world, with 2571 patent applications.

　　Considering the first-Mover advantage of Asian suppliers, Bosch Company assessed in 2018 that it needs to invest 20 billion euros to gain 20% market share in 2030, and whether and when the investment can be rewarded is still unknown. Therefore, after careful evaluation of market, technology, cost and investment, Bosch made a strategic decision to abandon battery production.

　　In an interview with a reporter from Science and Technology Daily, a senior German battery expert said frankly: "It is really a pity now that Bosch made a strategic decision to abandon battery production in 2018."

　　After American and European companies gave up battery production, the battery production industry gradually concentrated in Asia. This is an industry with full market competition. At present, products from many enterprises in China, Japan and South Korea are available for purchase.

　　Start again, Europe vigorously supports the development of local battery industry.

　　With the rise of new energy vehicles around the world, more and more car companies realize that the battery in electric vehicles is not just a replaceable common component. It is the core and the most expensive component of electric vehicles, and it is becoming a key factor affecting sales like the previous engines.

　　The European Union began to realize that establishing a complete local battery value chain in Europe is an urgent task for clean energy transformation and industrial competition. It is estimated that by 2025, the market opportunity of European battery industry will reach about 250 billion euros every year.

　　With the strong support of the European Union, in 2017, the European Union Battery Union (EBA) was established to promote and develop the production of local battery cells, with the participation of 14 EU member States, European investment banks and hundreds of companies and scientific research institutions. In April 2022, EBA put forward a new action plan, hoping that by 2030, the domestic battery products in the EU can meet 90% of its market demand.

　　The European Union has successively invested tens of billions of euros to support the research and development and production of local batteries through two "Important Projects of Common Interest in Europe (IPCEI)". Domestic battery companies have mushroomed in Europe.

　　Among these enterprises, the development of Swedish battery company Northvolt, German Volkswagen and French automobile battery company ACC is the most eye-catching. Northvolt’s first lithium battery factory was mass-produced in the first quarter of 2022, and the annual production capacity is expected to be 16GWh after improvement. Northvolt plans to achieve a production capacity of 150GWh by 2030.

　　Volkswagen started construction of the first 40GWh battery factory in Salzgit in July 2022, and plans to put it into mass production in 2025. By 2030, Volkswagen will build six large battery factories in Europe, with a total annual production capacity of 240GWh.

　　ACC is building the first 13GWh battery factory in France, which will be expanded to 40GWh in the future. In addition, ACC also plans to build two factories in Germany and Italy with a capacity of 40GWh. By 2030, the total battery capacity of ACC will increase to 120GWh.

　　At the same time, more than 40 battery manufacturers around the world announced that they would set up battery factories in Europe. Flawn’s Hof Institute for Systems and Innovation (ISI) released a report saying that according to the announcement of battery manufacturers active in Europe, the battery production capacity in Europe may reach 124GWh in 2022, 500GWh in 2025 and even 1.5TWh in 2030.

　　There are many challenges, and European battery companies need to overcome four major difficulties.

　　European companies face many challenges in producing power batteries.

　　The first is to overcome the difficulties of mass production.

　　Asian battery enterprises have generally developed from lithium battery enterprises for consumer electronics, and through years of accumulation, they have gradually solved various problems encountered in mass production. However, the self-built industrial chain in Europe is still in its infancy, and many newly established battery manufacturers lack similar experience and need to overcome more difficulties in the mass production process.

　　"Production experience is very important for lithium battery manufacturing. The production and debugging of lithium battery involves at least 4000 parameters, and it is not easy to achieve balanced quality control of batteries even for the same batch of products. And the same standard chemical plant, built in another place, also takes a long time to debug. The real challenge is to mass-produce millions of batteries with the least quality fluctuation. Europe still has a long way to go in this regard. " A battery expert from a German company said in an interview.

　　The second is to ensure the supply of raw materials.

　　At present, China has a high market share in the key links of battery production. This means that many materials needed by European battery manufacturers have to be purchased from China. Take Northvolt, the only local power battery manufacturer in Europe that has started mass production at present, for example, many core materials of its batteries come from China suppliers.

　　Europe is increasing cooperation with countries such as the United States, Canada and Australia in raw materials. But the problem is that the new supply chain must pay huge time and capital costs. For example, it will take at least 10 years to build a new raw material base from the beginning of mining, and it will take several years to reach the design capacity.

　　Kay Christian Muller told reporters: "When establishing battery production on the scale of GWh, it is always a challenge to ensure the safety and stability of the supply chain, which is true everywhere and under any circumstances, not just for European companies." He has been engaged in the research and development of lithium batteries for nearly 30 years, and his work in Flawn Hof Battery Alliance includes 24 research institutions, covering battery materials, module design and production technology.

　　Thirdly, the supporting capacity of lithium battery equipment.

　　The production process of lithium batteries is relatively complicated, which can be roughly divided into stages such as pole piece manufacturing, battery cell assembly, battery cell formation, testing, etc. Orders for related manufacturing equipment are gathering from head enterprises in various sub-sectors. Asian enterprises have obvious advantages in this respect and are expected to become the core equipment suppliers of new battery factories in Europe.

　　Take Volkswagen’s new battery factory as an example. In January 2022, Volkswagen and Bosch issued a joint statement, planning to set up a joint venture company to supply equipment for the battery factory. But in June, 2022, Volkswagen still gave the order for 40Gwh production equipment of Salzgit battery factory to the lithium battery equipment supplier in China.

　　Finally, participate in global market competition.

　　Asian battery companies are taking advantage of the time window when European battery companies have not yet formed scale production capacity to seize market share. It is estimated that by 2025, the battery production capacity in Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited will reach 670GWh, BYD may reach 600GWh, and LG New Energy plans to reach 540GWh. From the upstream lithium ore and lithium salt, to the anode and cathode materials, separators and manufacturing equipment of batteries, the leading enterprises have a relatively complete layout, and are constantly carrying out technological innovation and product iteration around the new battery structure and material system.

　　The production of batteries is an industry that pursues scale effect extremely. Whether European local battery enterprises can expand production capacity and reduce costs in a short time is the key to their participation in market competition. Faced with a series of challenges, such as the rising price of raw materials in the upstream, the tight pressure of competitors and the strict control of purchasing prices by automakers, how to survive and develop in the brutal market competition may be the biggest problem faced by emerging battery enterprises in Europe.

　　Green barrier, carbon footprint threshold or a double-edged sword

　　In March 2022, the European Parliament passed the EU New Battery Regulation, which drives the green and low-carbon transformation of the battery industry with stricter requirements. From July 1, 2024, only batteries with carbon footprints can be put on the European market. In 2027, Europe will ban the sale of batteries that exceed the maximum carbon footprint limit. The European Union has also made it mandatory to recycle batteries and reuse metals such as nickel, cobalt and lithium to reduce the pressure on environmental protection and raw materials.

　　In addition, the EU will also force due diligence on the entire supply chain of batteries, including the social and environmental risks involved in the process of raw material refining, battery cell production and battery use. This series of new regulatory policies will undoubtedly benefit the layout of local battery enterprises in Europe and make up for their disadvantages in product cost.

　　Correspondingly, the newly-built battery enterprises in Europe attach great importance to the carbon emission of batteries in the whole life cycle from raw materials to products. According to the data of the European Transport and Environment Federation, the carbon emission of battery production of electric vehicles ranges from 61kg to 106kg CO_2e/kWh, which can account for more than 60% of the total life cycle emission of electric vehicles.

　　Northvolt Company emphasizes that its battery carbon footprint (about 33kg CO_2e/kWh) is only one-third of that of reference batteries in the same industry due to the use of 100% renewable energy, and Northvolt hopes to reach the goal of 10kg CO_2e/kWh by 2030.

　　However, there is an important premise to build a green barrier for the European battery industry, that is, the battery capacity in Europe can meet its own needs. Otherwise, these measures will increase the production costs, including those of European battery manufacturers, and the products of leading Asian enterprises will still be competitive.

　　Zeng Yuqun, Chairman of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, said that based on the composition of the carbon footprint of power batteries, most of the carbon footprint can be reduced through green power, large-scale recycling and technological upgrading, and combined with carbon sinks, a zero-carbon battery can be realized. In the first quarter of 2022, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited recycled 21,000 tons of waste batteries and used them to produce 18,000 tons of precursors. In March, 2022, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited Yibin Factory obtained international certification and became the first zero-carbon battery factory in the world.

　　Can Europe win the first opportunity through solid-state batteries by changing the track?

　　Solid-state battery is an important research direction of the next generation power battery, which is expected to replace the traditional lithium-ion battery (LIB). Zhang Lin focused on the design, optimization and recycling technology of new energy materials, and was nominated for the Leibniz Prize in 2019. In an interview with the Science and Technology Daily reporter, she stressed: "For the industrialization of all-solid-state batteries, both China and Europe are currently in the primary stage."

　　Zhang Lin introduced the long-term accumulation of solid-state battery research in Europe. For example, BMW cooperates with SolidPower Company of the United States to develop sulfide solid electrolyte technology, and plans to launch a prototype of solid battery by 2025 and use it in production cars by 2030. Volkswagen cooperates with QuantumScape Company of the United States, focusing on the research of oxide solid electrolyte, and plans to mass-produce solid-state batteries in 2025.

　　"The development of all-solid-state lithium batteries in Europe mainly depends on the development of solid electrolytes. At present, the most potential electrolytes are oxides, sulfides and polymers, while borohydride and halide have also made breakthroughs in the last five years, but the advantages and disadvantages of the above-mentioned electrolytes are obvious. At present, only the ionic conductivity of some sulfide electrolytes approaches or exceeds the level of organic liquid electrolytes. Due to problems such as interface, its electrochemical stability is not satisfactory. " Zhang Lin said.

　　She emphasized that there is no perfect electrolyte to meet the application requirements at present, so it is necessary to improve all kinds of electrolytes to obtain good comprehensive performance. Basic research and applied research will develop iteratively. Some material systems have begun to enter the application field slowly. The experience gained in the application process will promote the development of basic research. In addition, efforts should continue to be made to explore and discover ionic conductors with new structures. Qualcomm screening calculation combined with experiments will help to discover new compounds.

　　In addition, she also said that as far as the oxide solid-state battery is concerned, its electrolyte has relatively high ionic conductivity and stable chemical characteristics, which is not harsh on the preparation environment and easy to be produced and applied on a large scale. However, compared with traditional lithium-ion batteries, the cost of oxide solid-state batteries is still high, and the performance needs some time to improve. Oxide solid-state batteries are most likely to be applied to high-end electric vehicles first, because customers may be willing to pay the premium for solid-state batteries in order to obtain longer cruising range and higher safety.

　　When it comes to semi-solid batteries, Zhang Lin said: "At present, solid-state battery enterprises in China mainly choose the research and development route of semi-solid batteries based on solid-liquid mixed electrolytes. Although adding liquid electrolyte may reduce the thermal stability to some extent, the process of mass production of semi-solid batteries with solid-liquid mixed electrolyte is more compatible with the current manufacturing technology and equipment of liquid lithium ion batteries. Considering factors such as materials and equipment, semi-solid batteries are more feasible in the short term and are already on the eve of mass production. "

　　Can Europe overtake in corners by developing other new batteries, such as lithium-air batteries or lithium-sulfur batteries? Kay Christian Muller is not optimistic about this. He told the Science and Technology Daily reporter: "These new battery systems are still under development, and there are still many problems when they are introduced to the market. Europe cannot rely on these battery systems to catch up with Asian battery manufacturers. "

　　With complementary advantages, China-EU battery industry looks forward to mutually beneficial cooperation.

　　The domestic battery industry in Europe is in the process of rapid development. Through policy guidance and cooperation between upstream and downstream enterprises, the battery production capacity in Europe will gradually expand around 2025 and occupy a certain global market share. At the same time, European companies are also seeking the far-reaching layout of the battery industry at different levels. For example, cooperate with battery enterprises through equity investment or joint venture, infiltrate into the upstream mineral resources of power batteries to ensure stable production capacity supply and strengthen the control of industrial chain.

　　Take BASF as an example. In August 2021, BASF acquired a 51% stake in Shanshan Energy, a leading lithium battery material company in China, and actively promoted cooperation with battery companies such as Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited and Honeycomb Energy in the field of battery materials and recycling; In Japan and the United States, BASF has established joint ventures with old cathode material supplier Toda Industries. In Europe, BASF has built production bases for cathode active materials and precursors in Germany and Finland. BASF has quietly become one of the world’s leading suppliers of cathode active materials for lithium batteries, not only seizing a strong market advantage, but also becoming the first company with cathode material production capacity in all major markets around the world.

　　Let’s look at the German Volkswagen whose strategic goal is to become one of the world’s three largest battery manufacturers. In May 2020, Volkswagen invested about 1.1 billion euros to acquire a 26% stake in China battery factory Shangguoxuan Hi-Tech, becoming the largest shareholder of Guoxuan Hi-Tech. In the first half of 2022, the installed capacity of Guoxuan Hi-Tech power battery was 5.8GWh, ranking eighth in the world. Guoxuan Hi-Tech is developing the first generation of standard batteries for the public. In the battery factory built by Volkswagen, Guoxuan Hi-Tech will cooperate with Volkswagen as a technical partner in the production layout, equipment deployment and production process of the battery factory to help it realize the industrial production of batteries.

　　From this perspective, China-EU battery industry is forming a new bond, with capital, technology and market intertwined and deeply integrated. On the one hand, China enterprises have their own advantages in terms of capacity scale, technology maturity and supply chain control ability; On the other hand, Europe is also constantly strengthening the supply capacity of its key products. Strengthening mutually beneficial cooperation between Chinese and European enterprises will help both sides give full play to their respective advantages and take the initiative in the global new energy vehicle market. Looking forward to the future, China and Europe may be the right way to jointly deal with climate change and energy crisis.
