Mid-Autumn Festival "private moon cakes" sell well. The industry says it is illegal to sell by friends.

  Beijing, China, September 16 (Reporter Zhou Yifan Yu Zhongtao) According to the Voice of China report, today is the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. Eating moon cakes is a must-have program for every family in the Mid-Autumn Festival. I wonder where you bought the moon cakes that your family ate this year? Physical store or online platform?

  Nowadays, it is nothing new to buy moon cakes online. Many moon cake brands also have flagship stores online. But the novelty of this "buying moon cakes online" we are talking about today is that the seller is not a company that makes moon cakes, but a private person.

  This is the so-called "private moon cakes". To put it bluntly, it is the moon cakes sold by individuals through online platforms such as Taobao and WeChat friends circle. These moon cakes are generally made by themselves, without adding, and are purely handmade, which is somewhat similar to those online food delivery platforms that focus on private dishes cooked by their own families.

  From this year on, this mooncake has a national standard, and many problems have been exposed in the so-called private cuisine, including lack of qualification, worrying hygiene and so on. Is the quality of "private mooncakes" reliable?

  At the end of last year, the new national standard for moon cakes was officially implemented. This recommended standard requires the classification, fat content, sugar content, protein and so on of moon cakes. On the first Mid-Autumn Festival since the implementation of the new national standard for mooncakes, "private mooncakes" came into consumers’ sight. Search for keywords in Taobao, and more than 400 treasures will appear. The one with the highest sales volume shows that the monthly sales of private mooncakes is nearly 2,000 pieces.

  The seller declared that "it is handmade without any additives". "Generally, it can be kept for about ten days, because we all have no additives, we all make them ourselves, and we don’t do them with additives."

  Similar private moon cakes have also appeared in many people’s circle of friends. Endorsement by acquaintances, coupled with delicious and safe gimmicks, private mooncakes are generally very popular. Last year, Mr. Wang tried to sell homemade fresh meat mooncakes in a circle of friends: "In a circle of friends, because there were too many people who asked me for them last year, I said, OK, let’s start selling them, and then I sold almost 3 or 400, and then I felt that this business was quite easy."

  The sales volume is huge and there is room for profit. In order to convince consumers to trust the quality of products, some WeChat sellers will also make videos of their own moon cakes and send them online. Miss Li from Liaoning said, "You can really see them through small videos. This intuitive way makes me believe in this kind of thing."

  However, although the video can partially show the production process, consumers can’t judge the ingredients in the raw materials. Some media sent four different homemade moon cakes online for inspection, and two of them detected sodium cyclamate: "Its (sodium cyclamate) is 0.15 g/kg, which means that the two private kitchens can’t be said to be zero-added, because sodium cyclamate has been detected, and everyone will know whether it is zero-added."

  In addition, after the production of moon cakes, there may be hidden dangers of food safety due to the limited storage capacity of family workshops. Gwan Chin, director of the Food Circulation Supervision Department of Nanjing Food and Drug Administration, said that it is actually illegal to sell directly to friends in the WeChat circle of friends, and the quality is not guaranteed, especially the storage period of moon cakes, or the storage temperature, which has a certain impact on the quality.

  From the packaging point of view, these "private" moon cakes do not indicate the manufacturer, production date, shelf life, food production license number and food label, which also does not comply with the law. An industry insider who once worked in a well-known pastry company in Shanghai said: "Mooncakes sold in China need a qualified food factory to make and process them, and they need to be labeled with all ingredients, as well as the factory and contact information for processing them. Private mooncakes can’t do this because they are all made by themselves."

  In July this year, the State Food and Drug Administration issued the Measures for the Investigation and Punishment of Internet Food Safety Violations, which will be implemented on October 1 this year. It stipulates that online food operators should obtain food business licenses or filing vouchers according to law. Those who have not obtained the food business license or filing certificate shall not engage in online food business activities. Liu Deliang, director of the Asia-Pacific Network Law Research Center, said that as long as there is sales behavior, no matter what platform, it should be bound by relevant laws and regulations:

  "If you are a good friend, you don’t need food safety and health when you eat at home. The key is that it can target an unspecified third party, and the scope is relatively large. In this case, it is no different from roadside hawking, stall selling and Tmall Taobao. Around food safety, the law has corresponding provisions."

  However, because it is a relatively closed sales environment, it is difficult for the regulatory authorities to investigate and deal with these private mooncakes that are sold in the WeChat circle of friends and have a huge sales volume. HanDong, deputy director of the Food Circulation Supervision Department of Hefei Food and Drug Administration, suggested that consumers should still choose qualified manufacturers: "Third-party platforms must provide information about sellers. If consumers have problems, they can first look for third-party platforms. WeChat circle is not a form of online sales of third-party platforms. From a certain point of view, it belongs to private friends who buy in mutual trust. Whether it has production capacity, quality and hygiene is guaranteed, Consumers should also keep their eyes open. We suggest buying moon cakes or going to a qualified physical store. If you buy them online, you should go through a third-party platform, which is also guaranteed. "

Gree pursues beauty, with a difference of 100 billion in half a year.

  In terms of scale, Gree Electric lags behind Midea Group in air conditioning, small household appliances and diversified businesses, with a total revenue difference of 98 billion yuan in the first half of 2023. However, judging from many data, Gree still has its own advantages, such as abundant cash on the account and high gross profit margin of air-conditioning business.

  Revenue reached a new high in the first half of the year, and net profit did not return to a high point.

  If one sentence is used to describe the semi-annual report of 2023 released by Gree Electric on the last day of August, it is that "all aspects are recovering, but many data are hidden".

  Let’s look at the overall revenue and net profit performance-99.79 billion yuan and 12.35 billion yuan in the first half of the year, respectively. The former hit a record high, but the year-on-year growth rate was small, only 4.16%, while the latter maintained a growth rate of 14%, but it still did not reach the level of 2018 and 2019.

  Such growth has not kept pace with the market.

  Under the influence of El Ni? o phenomenon, there was a rare high temperature in the first half of 2023. Stimulated by this, although the real estate industry remained sluggish, the sales and retail sales of domestic household air conditioners increased by 12.72% and 16% respectively, which was much higher than Gree’s overall income and air conditioning income.

  On a larger scale, Gree Electric, which lags behind the market, is also gradually falling behind in the world. According to the latest data, the threshold for entering the Fortune 500 in 2023 is 225.165 billion yuan, while Gree’s annual income in 2022 is 190.151 billion yuan, and there is still a certain gap. From 2019 to 2022, Gree Electric’s ranking in the Fortune 500 has also dropped from 414 to 487.

  In terms of revenue composition, Gree Electric’s revenue of 99.79 billion yuan in the first half of this year accounted for more than 1% of the business, including air-conditioning business that contributed 70% of the revenue, eco-agriculture and green energy services that contributed 2.92% of the revenue (mainly including buses and energy storage equipment under Gree Titanium), and small household appliances that contributed 2.18%.

  In addition, industrial products and other businesses contribute a total of 23.6% of revenue, which is actually quite eye-catching.

  A small number of industrial products mainly include compressors, motors, molds, etc., which belong to To B business, while other businesses mainly focus on purchasing upstream raw materials, mainly to play the role of bulk purchasing and lowering prices. After purchasing, they are sold to upstream processing enterprises, with a gross profit margin of only about 2%, which mainly plays a role in expanding income scale from a financial point of view.

  It is worth noting that although the overall income of Gree Electric reached a new high in the first half of 2023, if the "other businesses" that hardly make money are deducted, the total remaining income has not actually returned to the level of the first half of 2019, and the income from air conditioning business alone is even worse than that in 2018 and 2019.

  In addition to self-comparison, we can better understand what such data means by horizontally comparing Gree Electric with its old rival Midea Group. In the first half of 2023, Gree lost 98.006 billion yuan compared with Midea Group’s total revenue of 197.796 billion yuan.

  Fairer, if the "other income" of the two companies is deducted, Gree has fallen behind the United States by 100.969 billion yuan, which is the biggest gap in the main income of the two companies in history.

  So where is the difference between the 100 billion yuan?

  In terms of air-conditioning business, Gree has been at a disadvantage since 2020, and the gap has been widening in the past three years. The gap in the semi-annual report has expanded to 22 billion yuan; In the field of small household appliances, in the first half of 2023, Gree Electric’s income was only 2.177 billion yuan, while Midea Group’s income was 30 times higher than that of 68.136 billion yuan.

  In addition to home appliances, Gree Electric’s industrial products, green energy and smart equipment businesses generated a total revenue of 8.7 billion yuan in the first half of 2023, which is about half of the revenue of Midea Group’s robots and automation systems.

  It is worth noting that both companies are making efforts in the automation and intelligent production of To B, but the paths are different.

  Judging from the semi-annual report, Gree Electric emphasized the technology and quality of core components such as compressors (core devices of air conditioners) and motors (power sources of electrical appliances), but Midea Group emphasized the complete solutions for different scenarios in the fields of medical care, entertainment and consumption.

  If we distinguish between domestic and foreign income, after deducting "other business", Gree Electric’s domestic income actually lagged behind that of the United States 10 years ago, but the gap was small. Until 2023, the gap in the semi-annual report has expanded to 47.5 billion yuan, the highest in the past years, equivalent to 59% of Gree’s only beauty.

  The bigger gap is overseas income. The gap between the two has expanded from 18.5 billion yuan in the first half of 2014 to 67.7 billion yuan in the first half of 2023. Gree’s current overseas income is only equivalent to 16% of Midea Group.

  At least in terms of scale, Gree Electric has indeed fallen behind Midea Group in terms of air conditioning, small household appliances and diversified businesses, and the gap has also reached a new height.

  "Sequela" of Dealer’s Rebellion

  In addition to the overall performance, a series of subtle changes can be seen in the semi-annual report in 2023, which may be related to the "rebellion" of some dealers in Gree Electric last year.

  In the first half of 2023, the sales expenses in Gree Electric increased by 71.01% year-on-year. The semi-annual report showed that it was mainly due to the increase in product installation and maintenance fees, but the air-conditioning revenue in the current period only increased by 1.82% year-on-year, which was in sharp contrast.

  Although in absolute terms, the sales expenses of 8.41 billion yuan in the first half of the year are not the highest in the semi-annual reports over the years, it is the first time to look through the financial reports over the years, like in the first half of 2023, because of the installation and maintenance costs, the sales expenses have risen sharply.

  As a leader in the field of air conditioning, the probability of a sudden surge in maintenance costs due to quality problems in the first half of the year is not great, so it is more likely that the installation costs have increased substantially. But why did the air conditioner sell less than 2% more, and the sales cost rose by 71% because of the installation cost?

  In fact, the after-sales business of air conditioners has always been the responsibility of distributors all over the country. They also manage the air conditioner sales business and after-sales business including installation and maintenance in the corresponding areas. When installation services occur, the distributors will charge certain fees from the air conditioner manufacturers, and they will also charge customers aerial work fees, material fees and so on according to the situation.

  In September, 2022, Gree fell out with dealers in Hebei, who published a Notice, describing a series of inside information that Zhuhai Gree headquarters shut down the after-sales service management authority of Hebei Gree Company, and after Gree Zhuhai Hengge took over the after-sales service in this area, it proposed sales performance tasks for maintenance points, changed the preferential policies that Hebei Gree used to provide such as free overhead fees and free punching fees, and so on.

  After the two parties parted ways, the new distributor that Gree Electric was looking for in Hebei surfaced-Eye-searching showed that Gree Zhuhai Hengge Digital Technology Co., Ltd. mentioned in the Notice was previously owned by Zhuhai Hengge Trading and Jiangsu Saifu Green Food Development Co., Ltd., but the latter withdrew in May this year and Xiamen Saifu Trading Co., Ltd. became the new shareholder.

  It is noteworthy that Liu Qiangdong and ZhangZetian once appeared among the shareholders of Jiangsu Saif Green Food, but they withdrew from the shareholders in 2020. The legal representative of Xiamen Saif Trade, the new shareholder, is Zuo Yujie, just like Jiangsu Saif Green Food.

  According to the public information, Zuo Yujie has a close relationship with JD.COM. He used to work in JD.COM and still serves as the chairman of Runjing Information Technology Co., Ltd., which is the operator of JD.COM Wine World, and JD.COM Wine World is an omni-channel wine retail enterprise invested by JD.COM.

  In addition to the 71% increase in sales expenses, the contractual liabilities of Gree Electric (that is, the advance payment paid by dealers) rose by 79.7% to 28.972 billion yuan at the end of June 2023, while the operating cash inflow increased by 40% to 127.9 billion yuan year-on-year. It can be considered that the changes in important distribution channels have brought a series of effects, that is, new dealers have large-scale purchase demand, which brings considerable cash flow and contractual liabilities, and at the same time corresponds to the regional after-sales service system.

  In addition, considering the above indicators comprehensively, there is another possibility, that is, delaying the recognition of income and recognizing expenses in advance.

  In this case, a considerable part of the goods have been sent to the dealers, and the payment has been received, and the installation has been completed after the sales by the dealers. However, Gree Electric did not settle this part of the payment with the dealers for some reason, which led to the fact that it is still reflected in the books as contract liabilities rather than income. However, the installation expenses that have occurred have already been reflected in the sales expenses because they need to be included in the corresponding period, which leads to a huge difference between the increase of income and sales expenses.

  In either case, the high probability is related to the change of dealers, and it can also be regarded as the sequela of the "rebellion" of important dealers in Gree Electric in 2022.

  Gree still has its own advantages.

  Even if the overall performance lags behind Midea Group, many indicators in the 2023 semi-annual report are affected by changes in dealers, but from many data, Gree still has its own advantages.

  The first is ample cash in the account.

  At the end of June, 2023, Gree’s book cash and wealth management reached about 200 billion yuan, more than all the cash and wealth management on the books of Midea and Haier combined, but it should also be noted that 64.219 billion yuan of them were restricted funds.

  At the same time, the gross profit margin of Gree Electric’s air-conditioning business returned to a high level of 35.69% in the first half of 2023. In the same period, Midea Group’s air-conditioning gross profit margin was only 23.29%, while Haier Zhijia’s was 28.62%, which was related to Gree’s greater focus on air-conditioning, which led to higher overall asset operation efficiency, as well as a certain cost advantage gained by centralized procurement of raw materials, which was of course a direct manifestation of its brand premium.

  If we compare the per capita income and per capita profit, Gree Electric will be the highest in 2022. Because of this, although the total revenue of Gree Electric and Midea Group in the first half of the year is nearly 100 billion yuan, the difference in net profit is only about 6 billion yuan. Haier Zhijia, whose income is 32% higher than that of Gree Electric, has a net profit of only 73% of that of Gree Electric.

  These all point to one of Gree Electric’s greatest advantages-that is, it can earn more money with higher efficiency in the established field of air-conditioning business.

  However, the capital market of "voting with your feet" only gives Gree Electric about half of the current market value of Midea Group, which shows that it is not enough to have a strong ability to make money in one field, and the scale of revenue is also very important.

  In contrast, Midea Group seems to have chosen another path.

  Ten years ago, Midea Group began to lay out multi-category household appliances and overseas business. Although at a certain stage, the product lines were messy and redundant, it could be improved through necessary simplification and transformation. The longer-term significance lies in broadening the possibilities and having a greater first-Mover advantage in related tracks. Especially when the external environment changes, such advantages may bring subversive development.

  It’s not that Gree Electric doesn’t want to embrace diversity and look for the second or even third curve, but the exploration in these years has not been smooth. Compared with the traditional thinking, the early smart phone project was flooded, but the unreliable Yinlong was chosen for the new energy grand track, and the small household appliances business was slow to progress because it entered too late, not to mention the overseas market that could not open the situation by adopting conservative strategies.

  Interestingly, just like Midea Group, which has developed a number of business segments as the driving force for subsequent growth, He Xiangjian also retired early and chose Fang Hongbo as his successor. On the other hand, in Gree Electric, the issue of successor has been unresolved, and 69-year-old Dong Mingzhu is still closely bound with brand IP and active in front of the stage.

  The difference between the two can also be seen from the age of management. The average age of 16 Dong Jiangao in Gree Electric (one of whom has no information) is 57 years old, and only one of them, Dong Mingzhu, has an annual salary of more than 5 million yuan, with a salary of 11.42 million yuan in 2022.

  In contrast, the average age of the 22 directors of Midea Group is 50 years old, and 8 of them earn more than 5 million yuan a year. Among them, the chairman Fang Hongbo earned 11.3 million yuan in 2022, while the average age of the 21 directors of Haier Zhijia is 52 years old, and no one earns more than 5 million yuan a year.

  Even if we only consider the air-conditioning business, it is not difficult for Gree Electric to maintain single-digit growth, and it is understandable to describe it as a relatively stable and solid manufacturing industry. However, in order to break through the existing situation and catch up with the rhythm of the times again, Gree obviously has to continue to look for its own possibilities.

Online celebrity College, Lobster College … What do these "wonderful" students study?

  When it comes to majors, we generally keep the following two attitudes: "Never apply for my major" and "Look at other people’s majors". Our own majors have endless spit, while others’ majors have endless envy. Next, I’d like to introduce the e-sports housekeeper, anti-terrorism, zombie online celebrity Moutai, and a potato. There are too many "exotic" majors in universities, and some of them may sound good. After learning about them, you will find that they seem really good … … I hope you can face your major after reading it.

  01

  Hard and pragmatic

  Potato college

  Remember when Yunnan Normal University announced that it would set up a potato college?

  Potato research in this school began in 1970s and has been playing an important role in potato research in Yunnan Province. The purpose of the establishment of Potato College this time is to give full play to our traditional scientific research advantages and focus on the construction of two characteristic majors, namely "Potato Genomics" and "Genetics and Breeding", so as to enhance the ability and level of the transformation of potato scientific and technological achievements.

  What a surprise!

  Potatoes — Potato — potato

  Has become a discipline.

  02

  Keep up with the trend

  Online celebrity College

  The establishment of "online celebrity College" in Chongqing Institute of Engineering has attracted everyone’s attention. However, the school responded that "online celebrity College" is neither an independent college nor a specific major, but a training program of "school-enterprise cooperation" between schools and enterprises, aiming at solving the employment problem of some students.

  There are no shortcuts in life, and there is no gain for nothing. Entering "online celebrity College" still needs to study hard and attend classes seriously, but it doesn’t mean that you can really become "online celebrity" in the future. I hope everyone can treat it rationally.

  Professional gaming

  Setting up this major also means that parents will say, "Can you go to college by playing games?"? Can you eat it as a meal? " When you are young, you can confidently say, "Yes!"

  If you think that e-sports major is to let you play games every day, then you are wrong.

  Let’s take a look at the curriculum of e-sports major in Xilin Gol Vocational College:

  Including regular culture classes (language, mathematics and English); E-sports development history & data analysis; Specific professional courses of competitive games (MOBA, FPS, cards); Referees, coaches and related behind-the-scenes personnel courses.

  E-sports major is not used to train professional players, so students who love to play games should consider it before applying for this major ~

  High-end trench gas type

  International housekeeper major

  At present, there are Wuhan Vocational College of Commerce and Trade and Beijing Institute of International Economics and Trade in China.

  Although there is "housekeeper" in the name, the family name is "international" ~

  Senior butler originated in Britain, with an average annual salary of nearly 30,000 pounds and a maximum of 100,000 pounds.

  At present, domestic housekeepers are divided into junior, middle and senior levels. The monthly income of junior housekeepers is about 5,000-8,000 yuan, while that of intermediate housekeepers is more than tens of thousands. According to industry analysis, the monthly income of truly professional top housekeepers in the future can reach more than 200,000 yuan.

  High income is accompanied by high requirements. Compared with the flight attendant major, the entrance threshold for international housekeepers is higher. The admission rate is generally around 30%.

  Main courses: modern international etiquette, hotel management, medical first aid, coffee and tea art, home and flower arrangement, nutritious diet, Mandarin, golf training, western-style bartending, yacht management, jewelry appreciation, etc.

  Horse science major

  Professional racetrack, customized equestrian clothes costing 10,000 yuan, and foreign precious horses worth millions … … Do you think you opened the story of "The overbearing president only loves me and contracted a whole racecourse for me"? In fact, this is just the daily class of students majoring in horse science at Qingdao Agricultural University.

  In 2011, Qingdao Agricultural University set up the first major in horse science, becoming the first and only school in China to set up an undergraduate major in horse science.

  In order to cultivate professional horse racing talents, in 2015, Dali Horse Industry Group of United Arab Emirates set up a scholarship of "Horse Science" in Wuhan Business School, and invested 30,000 yuan each year to help two students in the school complete their studies. Among them, one student can also get the opportunity to go to Dubai professional racecourse for training.

  This major sounds cool, but in fact it is not as simple as riding a horse every day, nor is it so easy and "fun".

  In the training plan of horse science specialty, it will take more than 2400 class hours in four years to graduate smoothly. The courses studied are also related to various fields. The main courses include: animal anatomy and histology embryology, animal biochemistry, feed science, microbiology, biostatistics and experimental design, livestock environmental hygiene, veterinary medicine foundation, modern horse breeding, equestrian, horse training and nursing, equine diseases and other nearly 30 courses.

  Type of unconsciousness

  Anti-terrorism law school

  In 2016, China’s first anti-terrorism law school was established in northwest university of politics and law, which will train undergraduate, master and doctoral talents in anti-terrorism, and pay attention to the cross-support of law and political science and the combination of knowledge structure.

  This is a major that sounds very powerful and confusing ~

  -Why did you choose this major? (Lighting and microphone for the following classmate)

  -"Nothing else, everything is for justice!"

  Ammunition engineering and explosion technology specialty

  This major is designated by the state to recruit civil servants from public security, safety administration and other institutions. There are only six universities offering weapons majors in China: Beijing Institute of Technology, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, north university of china, shenyang ligong university, Anhui University of Science and Technology and Shenyang Institute of Technology.

  Main courses: ammunition system analysis and design, explosion physics, ballistics, terminal effect, dynamic detection technology, impact dynamics, explosion technology, safety engineering, etc.

  Belonging to the discipline of weapons, is there a feeling of arrogance and coolness immediately? !

  In ancient times, there were knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, cymbals, hooks and forks.

  Today: AK-47, M16, G36 and SG550.

  (I can’t edit any more … )

  Eating and drinking type

  Lobster college

  In July 2017, an admission list published by Jianghan Art Vocational College, located in Qianjiang, Hubei Province, the hometown of crayfish in China, was on fire. The school admitted 86 freshmen to its first "Lobster College". When I saw this major, the netizen said in an instant: "Tell the truth, I can read postdoctoral students at one breath!" Sign up for our group ~ ~

  "Lobster College" consists of three majors: catering management, cooking technology and nutrition (crayfish cooking direction) and marketing (crayfish industry direction), and is admitted through strict examination of candidates’ qualifications, comprehensive professional knowledge examination, professional skills examination and comprehensive cultural examination.

  However, "Lobster College" and "Crayfish Specialty" are two different concepts. Lobster College is a related specialty for lobster industry, both of which are approved by the Provincial Department of Education.

  At present, "Lobster College" has been renamed as "College of Food Culture".

  Regan Noodles research institute

  Regan Noodles is one of the representative cuisines in Wuhan, and its noodles are slender, strong, yellow, oily and delicious. Mixed with sesame oil, sesame paste, rich fresh and spicy powder, spiced pickles and other ingredients, it is full of color and flavor.

  Its magic is that foreigners will feel terrible when they eat it for the first time, and they will want to stop after eating it for the second time.

  In June, 2015, the Institute of Cooking and Food Engineering of Wuhan University of Commerce and Cai Linji, a time-honored brand in Wuhan, jointly established the Wuhan Regan Noodles Research Institute. This is the first time that a university in Wuhan has set up a research institute for traditional snacks in Wuhan.

  The Institute mainly conducts research on Regan Noodles’s historical heritage and cultural development, brand protection, industrial production and product packaging, marketing and product development, and conducts human resources training, so as to promote the development of Chinese snacks.

  Wine specialty

  The full name is "Grape and Wine Engineering Specialty", which is an interdisciplinary comprehensive discipline of science, engineering and agriculture, based on chemistry, biology and engineering, and studying the scientific theory and applied technology of modern high-quality wine brewing process, art appreciation and marketing concepts.

  Main courses: grape cultivation, wine technology, wine tasting, wine engineering, wine marketing, grape variety, wine chemistry, wine microbiology and wine regulations.

30 billion box office is not enough. Huge capital is changing the film pattern in China.

NeoImage_ copy.jpg

At present, the strong attraction of China movies to outside funds is unstoppable.


    Special feature of 1905 film network At present, the movie market is the most "not bad money" in China: the box office output has increased by more than 30% for six consecutive years, and the total amount is expected to exceed 30 billion this year, achieving a 200% increase in the number of people watching movies. Under such an industrial background, funds from all walks of life are scrambling to enter the film and television industry, and film companies are constantly expanding their business maps. As of the first three quarters, the total capital operation value of the film and television industry has already reached tens of billions, far behind the "seemingly amazing" box office estimate. It can be said that capital is constantly changing the pattern of China films.

 

   Now the question is, what kind of influence does such frequent and huge capital operation have on the future development of China films?

 

Multi-layout of "Internet-based" M&A and expansion of film industry

 

    In the first three quarters of 2014, Huayi Brothers made frequent moves in the Internet field: in June, it acquired the selling network; In July, the online game strategic plan was announced at China Joy (China International Digital Interactive Entertainment Exhibition); In August, the new media platform Star Shadow Alliance was launched to develop fan economy … … In response to these attempts, Wang Zhonglei, president of Huayi Brothers, responded in an industry forum: "With the advent of the Internet era, Huayi’s corporate structure and business layout are bound to change. We need to constantly strengthen inter-industry cooperation to adapt to the development trend of the network economy. "

 

    At present, Huayi Brothers is deploying its interactive entertainment business group. In fact, as early as four years ago, they began to target the Internet industry for multi-party layout. In June 2010, Huayi acquired a 22% stake in Palm Technology for 145 million yuan. In 2011, Tencent was introduced as a strategic investment partner. In 2012, Huayi International, a wholly-owned subsidiary, invested in Domi Music. In 2014, Huayi once again spent 672 million yuan to control Guangzhou Yinhan Technology. For the purpose of acquisition, the company explained: "Improve the layout of the industrial chain and bring new revenue growth points to both parties."

 

    This model has been widely recognized in the process of the integration of traditional film and television companies and the Internet. In addition to Huayi Brothers, Enlight Media also successively invested RMB 160 million and RMB 230 million in two online game companies, Fun Life and Xianhai Technology, and then spent RMB 176 million and RMB 208 million to win the hot air network and animation company Guangzhou Blue Fox. Li Li, chairman of Heli Guang Chen International Culture Media, said that for traditional film companies, the space of the online market is huge: "In 2013, the box office revenue of several major film companies was 4 billion yuan, while the Internet industry only brought related benefits from the game industry chain, which exceeded 80 billion yuan."

 

The pace of industry integration of film and television companies to "de-film" has accelerated.

 

    On October 23rd, Huayi Brothers officially announced its third quarter 2014 financial report. It shows that the company’s film business income dropped by 74.76% compared with the same period of last year, but the overall operating profit maintained a growth of 13.07%. These data are enough to show that Huayi Brothers is fully implementing the development strategy of "de-filming". Wang Zhonglei said that Huayi Brothers expects to rely on the expansion of downstream industries to bring about the brand’s liquidity, and on the basis of maintaining the two core advantages of film content and star-making ability, accelerate the pace of business integration of the company.

 

    China’s film industry needs to own and improve its industrial chain if it really wants to compete with Hollywood. And a complete industrial chain means that online and offline must develop simultaneously. On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, Huayi Brothers announced the opening of "Huayi Xiaogang Feng Film Commune" and officially launched the cultural tourism project. Light Media, which urgently needs to explore business transformation, has also planned to spend 10 billion yuan to build "China Film World" in Shanghai. However, compared with the "Oriental Film Capital" built by Wanda Group, a subsidiary of Wanda Pictures, which cost 50 billion yuan, it was immediately "dwarfed". If Leonardo DiCaprio, Nicole Kidman and other Hollywood superstars were invited to help open the red carpet a year ago, it still belongs to the local tyrants’ school, then the film and television base under construction, which integrates the comprehensive functions of film and television location, film and television production, film and television exhibition and film and television tourism, has begun to take on the momentum of "Oriental Hollywood". As a pioneer in the combination of film and real estate, Wanda has identified film production base and cultural real estate as new areas of core functional industries, attracting domestic and foreign film and television companies to settle down, which indicates that China film industry has taken a key step towards Hollywood’s mature development layout model.

 

    In the third quarter of 2014, the performance of LeTV and its LeTV film industry was quite eye-catching. Its own network DNA allows LeTV to save the link of "internetization" and focus more on downstream industries. While relying on movies such as TV and TV to seize the market share of the big screen, we have completed the construction of the whole product line of super tv. The performance report shows that the sales volume of its super tv products has increased rapidly, and the ecological effect has been highlighted, which has helped the company to establish a diversified business model of "diversified content+diversified channel layout+diversified users+diversified income" and promoted the company’s profit to increase steadily.

 

Outside the film industry, financial capital and traditional enterprises have entered the market one after another.

 

    Not only do film and television companies choose to diversify their industry layout and obtain capital support through different channels, but a large number of financial capital and enterprises in traditional industries also prefer this industry. On the one hand, the booming film and television industry in recent years makes investors expect to get high returns in a short time; On the other hand, it also shows the urgent transformation needs of some traditional enterprises. Therefore, compared with the situation in the same period in 2013, most of the industry mergers and acquisitions were led by tycoons such as Huayi Brothers and Light Media, the trend of film and television resources integration spreading to the outside world in 2014 was quite obvious.

 

    In the past, PE(Private Equity Private Equity Fund) has been simply seeking cooperation with initial public offerings. Huayi Brothers, Huace Film and Television and other companies have successfully listed through this cooperation model. Nowadays, with the expansion of the film and television industry capital market, PE has gradually withdrawn from IPO business, and the concept of "M&A fund" has begun to rise, and it is not difficult to find the figure of cultural and entertainment industry. Relevant people in the industry pointed out that under the premise that the expected profit is optimistic and the industrial income is growing, film and television are very competitive in attracting investment in the financial industry. Compared with the long capital freeze period and fluctuating yield of IPO, the return on investing in movies is obviously faster and much higher than the former.

 

    According to statistics, as of press time, the total value of capital operation involving the film and television industry in 2014 has exceeded 10 billion. In addition to the financial industry mentioned above, many traditional enterprises have begun to choose "cross-border" under the influence of factors such as the investment profit rate and the decline of main business profits. In August, Zhongji Holdings, which transformed from the traditional manufacturing industry, spent 1.5 billion yuan to bring Confucianism Xinxin Film into the door; In September, Royal Dairy officially issued an announcement to purchase 100% equity of Yujia Film and Television for 205 million yuan; During the Golden Week of November, Beijing tourism was in the limelight for a while because of investment. In the end, the box office of this film broke through the 1.1 billion mark, and another work that was previously released also achieved good results. The industry estimated that Beijing tourism could gain 100 million yuan by relying on the transformation of film and television this year, which more than tripled the net profit of 32 million in the same period last year. Judging from the company’s fixed-income plan, they will also plan to raise 3.3 billion yuan, of which 2.52 billion yuan will be used to acquire three cultural media and brokerage companies, completely shifting their business from a single tourism service to paying equal attention to tourism and film and television culture.

 

High return leads to capital aggregation, cross-border financing enhances professionalism and avoids risks.

 

    On the one hand, the traditional industry is caught in the predicament of slow development, and on the other hand, the film and television industry is facing the opportunity of market expansion. At present, the strong attraction of China films to foreign funds is unstoppable. For those investors who have fought many battles, what is there in the film circle that is worth throwing money into?

 

    Gao Jun, general manager of Guosheng Film, pointed out in an interview with 1905 Film Network: "What do these outside investors see? It is a return of 10 million yuan and 300 million yuan. It is a myth that investing 30 million yuan to earn 1.2 billion yuan. In contrast, the investment prospects of other industries are much dimmer, which also makes China’s film and television industry form a capital aggregation effect. " However, Gao Jun also admitted that most irrational investments that lack the guidance of professional teams will become bubbles: "The annual output of movies can reach 700-800, while only 200-300 are in the cinema. Even if you enter the cinema, it is not 100% profitable, basically following the 2: 8 law, and only 20% make money. " About three years ago, all kinds of hot money poured into the film circle, and all kinds of small movies came one after another. Gao Jun once revealed that a boss invested in a movie and lost all his money. He almost jumped out of the window in front of him. In these three years, after the survival of the fittest, those who blindly invest are not without, but the cakes left to them are getting smaller and smaller, and the industry is developing and maturing. Those who can stay must have their own advantages.

 

    Abandoning the blindness of "no return" to enter the film industry, now hot money outside the industry begins to operate in a standardized way through formal capital channels and professional venture capital teams, which not only reduces investment risks, but also ensures investment returns. For example, in September 2014, LeTV Pictures, which ranked TOP3 in the mainland film company, completed the B round of financing with the participation of Hengtai Capital and other companies, with a quota of 340 million; In the same month, Huanya Media Group, a well-known entertainment company, jointly established Longhu Capital with SM Entertainment and Fubon Group to raise funds for international investors, with the first-stage target of 100 million US dollars (about 600 million yuan). The combination of film and television companies and capital is more standardized and systematic.

    Both foreign investors holding hot money and film and television companies in the ups and downs industry have seen the unstoppable trend of cultural industry upgrading behind the box office output of China films. For investors, this is an opportunity that the capacity and consumption power are still growing and the prospects are bright. In the eyes of film and television companies, the current rapid development of the industry provides them with an excellent platform to extend the industrial chain and broaden business channels. In a word, the box office revenue of 30 billion yuan can’t meet the rapidly developing market demand and space. Industry capital will realize the change from quantity to quality through the integrated operation of seizing every minute, and jointly help China film industry to mature.

Constantly promote the modernization of state governance through reform and innovation

  The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee put forward that "persisting in reform and innovation, keeping pace with the times, being good at self-improvement and self-development, and making the society full of vitality" is one of the remarkable advantages of China’s national system and national governance system in 13 aspects. At the same time, it also established persisting in reform and innovation as the basic principle of adhering to and improving the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system and promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. We must unswervingly deepen reform in an all-round way, continuously strengthen innovation in all aspects, promote the maturity and stereotypes of all aspects of China’s systems with the endogenous motivation of reform and innovation, and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity.

  To promote the modernization of state governance, we must persist in reform and innovation.

  Persisting in reform and innovation is the basic principle and important method that runs through the whole process of the formation and development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s system and national governance system.

  Persisting in reform and innovation is the only way to modernize the governance of socialist countries.Looking at the historical process of socialism from its birth to the present, there is no successful experience to be expected and no ready-made model to learn about how to govern socialist society. The Communist Party of China (CPC) people combined the basic principles of Marxism with China’s concrete reality, and through continuous exploration and practice, continuous reform and innovation, established and improved the socialist system and strengthened and improved national governance. Today, the development of the world is undergoing a great change that has never happened in a hundred years. "Only reformers advance, only innovators are strong, and only those who reform and innovate win." Only by unswervingly persisting in reform and innovation is the only correct way to promote the self-improvement and self-development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s national governance.

  Persisting in reform and innovation is an inevitable requirement for the party to lead the people to effectively govern the country in the new era.The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Compared with the past, the reform and opening up in the new era has many new connotations and characteristics. One of the most important points is that the system construction is heavier, and the reform is more faced with deep-seated institutional mechanisms. The requirements for the top-level design of reform are higher, and the requirements for the system, integrity and synergy of reform are stronger. The task of establishing rules and regulations and building systems accordingly is heavier." To continue to ensure that the party leads the people to effectively govern the country, we must conform to the requirements of the development and changes of the times, constantly persist in reform and innovation, put forward new ideas, formulate new strategies, and come up with new measures. It is necessary to use reform and innovation to resolve the general contradictions and problems that hinder state governance, and also to adjust the focus and methods of reform and innovation according to the fundamental changes of some deep-seated contradictions and problems.

  Persisting in reform and innovation is the key to transform Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s institutional advantages into governance efficiency.After more than six years of efforts to comprehensively deepen reform, the overall governance efficiency of China’s national system and national governance system has been significantly improved, and the vitality of social development has been enhanced. But at the same time, we should also see that some of our reform measures have not been completed, the linkage and coupling of reform need to be strengthened, and the overall effect and overall effect of reform have not been fully demonstrated. Therefore, Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s institutional advantages must be transformed into governance efficiency through further reform and innovation. What we have to do now is to push all reforms closer to a more mature and stereotyped system, so that all reforms can complement each other and have a "chemical reaction" and turn institutional advantages into governance efficiency.

  Carry out the deployment of various tasks through reform and innovation

  To carry out various tasks well, we need to continue to "hold the banner of reform and play the innovative card", highlight and improve the fundamental system, basic system and important system of Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, focus on consolidating the foundation, promoting advantages, supplementing shortcomings and strong and weak items, and build a systematic, scientific, standardized and effective system.

  Carry out the tasks of adhering to and improving the fundamental system through reform and innovation.The system of leadership of the Party, the system of people’s congresses, the fundamental system of the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field and the absolute leadership of the Party over the people’s army are the fundamental systems of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. The fundamental system is the foundation and pillar that supports the whole system of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and it needs to be unswervingly adhered to and consolidated. However, adhering to and consolidating does not mean that it will remain unchanged once and for all. On the contrary, in order to adhere to and consolidate the fundamental system for a longer and more sustainable period, it is necessary to improve and perfect some specific system components, operating systems and leading organizations’ working systems of the fundamental system according to the development and changes of the times and the development requirements of practice. First of all, do a good job in supporting the new research and deployment system with reform and innovation to ensure the standardized and effective operation of the system. For example, the system of Do not forget your initiative mind and keeping the mission in mind has been added to the party’s leadership system. How to establish a long-term mechanism of Do not forget your initiative mind and keeping the mission in mind needs reform and innovation. Secondly, according to the requirements of the development of the times and practice, advancing with the times and perfecting the specific system require reform and innovation. For example, innovate the mass work mechanism in the Internet age, improve the organizational system, electoral system and rules of procedure of the National People’s Congress, establish an all-staff, all-round and all-round education system and deepen the reform of the professionalization system of military officers, the civilian personnel system and the military service system. Finally, optimize the working system and mechanism through reform and innovation, and enhance institutional coordination. For example, to improve the leadership system of the CPC Central Committee for major work, it is necessary to improve the specific system of unified leadership, overall coordination, supervision and inspection of the party, and to reform and innovate through the working system and mechanism.Form a scientific synergy mechanism.

  Carry out the tasks of adhering to and improving the basic system through reform and innovation.Focusing on upholding and improving the basic political system and basic economic system, the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee put forward clear requirements for reform and innovation. First of all, highlight the main line of the system, enhance the consciousness of reform, and continue to deepen the reform and innovation of specific systems. For example, in the basic economic system, we should take the supply-side structural reform as the main line, deepen the reform of rural collective property rights system, reform the production license system, and establish a punitive compensation system for intellectual property infringement. Secondly, through the reform and innovation of institutional mechanisms, the unique advantages of the basic system are strengthened and demonstrated. For example, improve the implementation mechanism of consultation before and during decision-making, and improve the redistribution adjustment mechanism with taxation, social security and transfer payment as the main means. Finally, enrich and improve the specific form and system practice of system landing with reform and innovation. For example, we should enrich the institutionalized practice of having something to discuss and everyone’s affairs to be discussed by everyone, and explore effective ways for enterprise employees to participate in management.

  Carry out the tasks of adhering to and improving the important system through reform and innovation.Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s important system covers all aspects of internal affairs, foreign affairs, national defense, governing the party, the country and the army, and provides an important institutional basis and basis for our party to lead the people in promoting the overall layout of the "five in one" and the coordinated promotion of the "four comprehensive" strategic layout in the new era. First of all, strengthen institutional innovation, especially the system urgently needed for national governance and the system necessary for people’s new expectations for a better life. For example, establish a system of efficient utilization of resources, and establish a housing system with multi-subject supply, multi-channel guarantee and simultaneous rent and purchase. Secondly, deepening the reform and innovation of major institutional mechanisms will not only get rid of all stubborn diseases that hinder scientific development, but also provide institutional guarantee for the major strategic tasks of the party and the country. For example, deepen the reform of cultural system, strengthen and innovate social governance, build a new national system for tackling key core technologies under the conditions of socialist market economy, and establish a lifelong accountability system for ecological environmental damage. Finally, it is necessary to sum up the good experiences and practices in practice in time and upgrade the mature experiences and practices into systems. For example, adhere to and develop the "Maple Bridge Experience" in the new era and improve the effective mechanism for correctly handling contradictions among the people under the new situation.

  Firmly grasp the correct direction of reform and innovation

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly stressed: "China is a big country and must not make subversive mistakes on fundamental issues." In the new journey of promoting the modernization of state governance, we need to keep a clear head, unswervingly adhere to the party’s centralized and unified leadership over reform and innovation, always adhere to the people-centered planning of reform and innovation, and always adhere to the rule of law for reform and innovation through comprehensive rule of law. Ensure that our reform has a direction, a position and principles, and that we will never take the old road of being closed and rigid, nor take the evil road of changing our flag, and always keep moving forward in the correct direction of socialism.

  Adhere to the centralized and unified leadership of the party.The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee pointed out, "It is a major strategic task of the whole party to uphold and improve the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. It must be carried out under the unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee, scientifically planned, meticulously organized, combined far and near, and promoted as a whole. " To strengthen the Party’s leadership in upholding and improving the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system and promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, we must first strengthen the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidences" and achieve the "two maintenances", form a tight organizational system and leadership system with strong implementation, and ensure that major decision-making arrangements and work arrangements around the reform and innovation of national governance can be implemented. Secondly, give play to the party’s core role of commanding the overall situation and coordinating all parties, unite the strength of all parties, mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties, and form a joint force of reform and innovation. Finally, give full play to the Party’s ability and role in guiding the direction, seeking the overall situation, formulating policies, and promoting reform, strengthen institutional self-confidence and constantly innovate, and ensure that all reforms and innovations around the modernization of state governance always advance along the fundamental political direction of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

  Adhere to the people as the center.The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "No matter what we change or what step we take, we must adhere to the party’s centralized and unified leadership over reform, the overall goal of improving and developing the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, and the people-centered reform value orientation." People are the main body of reform and innovation, and also the main body of modernization of state governance. Adhering to the people-centered principle and relying closely on the people to promote reform, innovation and modernization of state governance is not only our successful experience, but also our source of strength. First of all, we should respect the people’s dominant position in reform and innovation, stimulate the spirit and vitality of reform and innovation of all the people, and fully demonstrate the institutional superiority of socialism. Secondly, we should respect the people’s initiative, encourage local, grassroots and masses to explore boldly, sum up experience in time, create a good social environment for the reform and innovation of state governance, and provide inexhaustible internal motivation. Finally, we should take satisfying people’s yearning for a better life as the value orientation, and constantly serve the people better through institutional mechanism reform and institutional innovation, so that the fruits of modernization of state governance can be shared by the people and benefit all the people more fairly.

  Adhere to the comprehensive rule of law.Governing the country according to law in an all-round way, as an important strategy to comprehensively deepen reform, is not only the internal component of promoting the modernization of state governance, but also the basic way and path to promote the modernization of state governance through reform and innovation, which plays an irreplaceable role in regulating and safeguarding the correct direction of reform and innovation. To promote reform and innovation by the rule of law, first of all, we should uphold and improve the rule of law system in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, incorporate legislation into the overall process of modernization of state governance, ensure that "all major reforms must be based on the law", and provide a strong guarantee for reform and innovation by the rule of law. Secondly, we should rely on the rule of law, use the rule of law thinking and means to promote reform and innovation, and ensure that the modernization of state governance through reform and innovation always follows the rule of law. Finally, it is necessary to improve the ability and ability to use the rule of law thinking and the rule of law to plan reform and innovation. Leading cadres at all levels should take the lead in respecting and fearing the rule of law, improve their thinking on the rule of law and their ability to handle affairs according to law, and always plan reform and innovation within the framework of the rule of law and promote the modernization of state governance.

A round of financing 5 billion, the foreplay of Landmap IPO begins?

Today, two years had passed since the birth of the Lantu brand. However, the sprint speed of Lantu after breaking 10,000 vehicles was obviously slower than expected. Compared to the top several new energy brands, Lantu’s sales were also pulled apart.

For the "slow" at this stage, Lantu has been prescribing the right medicine and gradually resuming the rhythm of rising. At the same time, it seems to be approaching the IPO step by step.

On November 18, Lantu Automotive announced that it had completed the signing and delivery of the financing agreement for the A round.

Lantu Auto’s Series A financing was actually officially launched in December 2021 and has been in the works for a long time. On August 1 this year, the capital increase information began to be pre-disclosed on the Shanghai United Equity Exchange. It was officially listed on September 13 and ended on October 13.

According to the Lantu official, the total amount of A round of financing is nearly 5 billion yuan, and the market valuation of Lantu after financing is nearly 30 billion yuan. After this round of financing, Lantu will choose the opportunity to continue to carry out subsequent rounds of financing. At the same time, Lantu will also consider the follow-up IPO plan based on the market and regulatory policies.

Rare large-scale financing under the "capital winter"

Entering 2022, the automotive industry has gradually shown a trend of major reshuffle, and the capital markets have become more cautious in betting on new energy vehicle brands. The A round of financing of nearly 5 billion yuan by Lantu Automobile is almost the largest first round of financing in the domestic new energy automobile industry.

Specifically, there are 10 investors in this round of financing of Lantu. Among them, the joint leading investors are the state-owned enterprise mixed reform fund and Bank of China assets, while the following investors include three state-owned capitals of ICBC Investment, Agricultural Bank of China Investment, and Jiaoyin Yuanjing, Wuhan Economic Development Fund, Hubei High-quality Development Fund, and Zhongxin High-tech Investment. Three local state-owned assets, Ganfeng Lithium Industry, Xinwangda Two industries and private capital.

As the big owner, the group invested 900 million yuan. After this round of financing, the group held 78.88% of the shares in Lantu, 12.37% of the A round investors, and 8.75% of the Lantu employee stock ownership platform.

On the one hand, through the introduction of strategic investment, industrial synergy is formed in the upstream and downstream industrial chain, especially the three electricity, marketing ecological cooperation, etc. That is to say, the investors in this round of financing of Lantu Automobile have strategic synergy with Lantu Automobile, and will realize complementary advantages and promote the rapid development of Lantu’s business.

On the other hand, on May 31 this year, the three-year action task of the company’s state-owned enterprise reform was fully completed. As a high-end electric brand that the company has made every effort to build, Lantu Automobile’s financing is also to continue to implement the relevant requirements of the "Double Hundred Enterprises" mixed reform, improve the corporate governance structure, and revitalize the system and mechanism.

According to the plan, this round of financing funds will be used to support Landmap technology research and development, digital system construction, capacity building and marketing investment and other matters related to Landmap’s main business operation and expansion, of which more than 40% of the cost is expected to be used for technology research and development.

Unlike new forces, the background of the "national team" has undoubtedly made Lantu much smoother in the capital markets. However, at the same time, Lantu bears the dual mission of the company’s brand upward and exploring new models of independent brand development, which puts more pressure on Lantu. Therefore, it is likely that Lantu will eventually embark on the road of listing and financing.

What impact does Lantu Auto have on its IPO?

It is not just Lantu that is watching the IPO. Among the new energy vehicle brands incubated by independent traditional car companies, GAC’s Ai’an has officially announced that it will choose the opportunity to attack the IPO, and Avita, JK, etc. have also announced plans for IPO.

As important as Landmap was, they were born with a golden spoon, and they were also a weapon used by car companies to attack the high end. It could be seen that the competition for IPOs from high-end brands of traditional car companies had become increasingly fierce.

In the first half of this year, the entire industry faced the impact of unfavorable external factors such as the epidemic, rising raw material prices, and tight chip supply. During this period, Lantu’s sales also declined. It began to grow month-on-month after June.

According to the official data released, in October this year, Lantu delivered a total of 2,553 new cars, an increase of 154% year-on-year. Since June, the average price of bicycles has exceeded 382,000 yuan. Since August 2021, the Lantu brand has delivered a total of 22,963 new cars.

If you want to IPO, the cumulative sales of Lantu 23,000 vehicles, there is obviously huge room for growth. Of course, Lantu is also strengthening its core competitiveness step by step, especially in the near future, the news of new cars and new technologies is particularly intensive.

First of all, Landmap has a complete technology research and development system and leading technology research and development capabilities. At present, all technologies of Landmap are fully self-developed.

In terms of technology, Landmap has just released the dual layout of ESSA native intelligent electric architecture and central centralized SOA electronic and electrical architecture. The official introduction is that the concept and technology of Landmap ESSA native intelligent electric architecture can meet the technical needs of Landmap in the next 8-10 years; the concept and technology of central centralized SOA electronic and electrical architecture can meet the technical needs of Landmap in the next 5 years. In addition, Landmap also deploys technologies such as solid-state batteries, hydrogen power, and autonomous driving above L4 level.

Secondly, Lantu’s high-end products have spanned three categories of SUVMPV sedans. Among them, Lantu FREE is positioned as a 300,000-class luxury SUV; Lantu Dreamer focuses on the electric luxury MPV market; the third sedan Lantu Chasing Light will debut next month. After that, Lantu still plans to continue the strategic layout of a new car for a year.

In terms of sales channels, it is also stepping up construction. As of October 31 this year, Lantu has opened 168 stores across the country, and its sales and service network covers 85 cities across the country.

In addition, Lantu is also exploring the international market. In February this year, Lantu Auto officially announced its entry into the European market, landing in Norway for the first time. In September, Lantu FREE officially shipped to Norway and will be officially delivered to Norwegian users at the end of November. Following the Norwegian market, Lantu Auto is also planning to enter Sweden, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Israel.

The A-round financing of Lantu will undoubtedly help Lantu’s future layout, and at the same time, the more important role may be to enhance internal and external confidence. Although behind Lantu, there is the support of the group in terms of resources, technology, capital, talents, etc., as one of the leaders of the national team’s new energy vehicle manufacturing, in the face of the industry reshuffle, Lantu also needs to play a 12-point spirit and sprint again.

After all, both past experience and current facts prove that the road to high-end has never been easy. At present, there are very few examples of domestic independent brands that have achieved their goals. If Lantu wants to break through, it still needs to practice its internal and external skills.

Don’t complain Fan Bingbing propaganda period love: one is willing to fight one is willing to suffer

??1905 movie network feature Recently, there was a promotion period called "Fan Bingbing and Li Chen". I believe everyone is familiar with this sentence, and even this topic is so popular that Fan Bingbing himself is talking about it. As the most commercially valuable female star in the entertainment industry, I feel that Fan Bingbing can pull a man to date at any time during the promotion period.

Fan Bingbing complained to the media that he was "aggrieved"

 

??At the end of 2014, "The Legend of Wu Meiniang" was on the air, which made this "queen style" still hot. "Big head sticker", "nun look", and "Meiniang makeup" were all hot-searched terms during the TV broadcast, but the most concerned by netizens was "Chen Binglian". Since the TV broadcast, the love affair between the two has been exposed, and on the day of the finale of "The Legend of Wu Meiniang", it was revealed that the two had engaged. The incident originated the night before the finale. Li Chen said on Weibo: "It’s snowing, if we don’t use umbrellas and keep walking, can we go all the way to Baitou…" Less than ten minutes later, Fan Bingbing posted on Weibo: "It’s very simple to love someone. After good night, I want to say good night. It’s snowing in Beijing tonight." Such imaginative words made many people believe it was true. "Fan Bingbing is really getting married!"

??Recently, Fan Ye was about to be released, and Fan Ye brought his team to start publicity all over the country, and came to one place to leave a topic. Even Wu Mochou, a co-actor who had no sense of existence for a long time, was exposed to have lived with his Bole Haring. Although he later denied that the news was a rumor, he also earned a lot of topics at the time. Wu Mochou’s hype method was too obvious, which caused Harlin to criticize Wu Mochou. In response to the media, he said: "Cohabitation is not a fact, and it is not good for both parties to keep spreading rumors, especially girls." It is not difficult to see from the word "especially" that Harlin is very dissatisfied with the hype of his beloved disciple, and "warned" her that girls should still keep clean.

??Even if Fan Bingbing also wants to rely on "dating" to gain attention and achieve the effect of promoting new works, the current star is not ******. When more and more netizens attack her for "hyping a shameful relationship", in order to maintain her ima*****he star will inevitably take corresponding measures to prevent the incident from developing in a bad direction. But the media will not stop there. How can a topic that has finally started, how can it be so easy to end the interest of netizens. So as long as Fan Bingbing appeared at the press conference, all the reporters asked questions with all their strength, even though before the opening, the organizers had stipulated that reporters should not ask questions about love affairs, and various media would always come up with the answers he wanted. So Fan Bingbing also responded "aggrieved" at the press conference: "I especially don’t want to respond to any questions about the relationship. As for the promotion period that everyone said is called’Li Chen and Fan Bingbing ‘, but this is not what I want to say, it’s what you keep asking."

 

Fan Bingbing was pressed by the media and helplessly drilled into the table


??In fact, this was not the first time that Fan Ye had "complained" about the media. As early as the thank-you meeting of "The Legend of Wu Meiniang", Fan Bingbing had smelled that he would be "complained", or maybe the TV series had ended and there was no need to promote it. At the thank-you banquet, a crowd of media flocked to surround the heroine Fan Bingbing, while Fan Ye changed his previous "Golden Sentence King" style and resolutely did not speak. When a large number of media found that the "containment" still couldn’t pry Fan Ye’s mouth, they changed to "act cute" and said to Fan Bingbing: "Just say a little bit." Faced with this situation, Fan Ye, who had seen all kinds of big scenes, seemed at a loss, got under the table and grabbed the tablecloth on the dining table to cover his head, and his former domineering image was completely gone. Finally, it was the agent Mu Xiaoguang who came to relieve the siege, and Fan Bingbing struggled to leave the main table and enter the elevator. He responded to the media with a sweet smile, without saying a word throughout the process.

 

??Journalists are really struggling to do this. Journalists from all over the world are now using "all their strength" to interview celebrities in order to get the best and fastest news, no matter the method is inappropriate, the result is the most important. When the media reported the news of Yao Beina’s death earlier, it was criticized by netizens. The incident immediately caused an uproar when three reporters followed the doctor who performed the cornea donation surgery for Yao Beina into the morgue to photograph the body without the permission of the family. Discussion about how the media can properly report the news also sparked a war of words on the Internet. Nowadays, the news of Fan Bingbing’s love affair with Li Chen was reported on the media’s large pages. After earning quite a few hits, he began to "complain" that Fan Bingbing liked to fall in love during the promotion period. He really felt aggrieved for "Fan Ye" and asked, isn’t this what the media just wanted?

 

??The entertainment industry is like a hot pot. The clear soup pot with clear water is always so unexciting, and no matter what dish is eaten, it tastes the same. But although the spicy pot is sweaty, the taste will always make people unforgettable. The media is like the "spreader", "adjusting oil and vinegar" in the entertainment industry creates various topics to attract attention. No matter what "dish" the star is, it will make consumers taste it with relish when placed in the spicy pot. So stop complaining that stars love to hype, and the media doesn’t help to promote it, how can it be fried?

[first try] mixed light | BYD Qin PLUS DM-i

If I told you,

There is a model that has been waiting for more than a month.

What was the first reaction? Lexus?

If you add another condition, what about mixing?

What if I say it’s still a self-owned brand?

All right, no suspense.

I’m talking about BYD Qin (parameter picture) PLUS DM-i, which is hotly discussed this year.

Author Yu Wenhao Layout Tong Wei

Qin PLUS DM-i is probably the most concerned hybrid model this year. Before, the hybrid world has always been controlled by Japanese "two fields", but the problem is that compared with similar fuel vehicles, the effect of high price, low configuration and fuel saving is even less obvious. But what people didn’t expect was that BYD’s DM-i super hybrid system launched this year made people shine. The fuel consumption is 3.8 liters per 100 kilometers, the comprehensive cruising range of oil and electricity is over 1,200 kilometers, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers is 7 seconds. Is it a bit shocking to see these figures? He can surpass the mixed performance of Corolla dual-engine and Lingpai Rui at the same level. How to do it? Let’s talk about this DM-i super hybrid system first.

The core of this system is to save fuel, mainly driven by electricity. That is to say, the motor is the protagonist here, doing the most work, but the engine does the least work, and only appears when it is the most fuel-efficient. This is different from the purpose of the DM-p hybrid system carried by Han, which is more for the pursuit of power. The working form mainly depends on the cooperation of engine, generator, driving motor, battery and electronic control system. Similar to most hybrid technologies, there are four modes: EV pure electric, HEV series, HEV parallel and high-speed engine direct drive.

Although the model of DM-i super hybrid system seems ordinary, there is a lot of learning in it. The most important part of this structure is the EHS electromechanical coupling unit, including the drive motor and generator, and also with a clutch. The combination of the three works to realize the series-parallel operation of the above two kinds of power, and the highest efficiency of the drive motor here reaches 75%. The battery pack adopts BYD’s unique Ferrous lithium phosphate blade battery, and its pure battery life can reach up to 120km, so its safety and life are more reassuring than ternary lithium battery.

The Xiaoyun-Plug-in special 1.5-liter engine, similar to the range extender, has a thermal efficiency of 43.04% through technologies such as split cooling and intelligent thermal management. You should know that the thermal efficiency of 8ZR-FXE on Toyota Corolla is 40%, and the highest thermal efficiency of M20A-FXS is 41%. This kind of high thermal efficiency is just used in the mixed high-speed state, so it is more fuel efficient.

The front face of Qin PLUS DM-i is still the style of BYD’s family-style Dragon Face dragon. The ladder-shaped large mouth grille is unique to the hybrid version. The EV version is similar to Han, and the grille will be smaller. The headlights are all LED, and the daytime running lights are in arrow feather style. The roof line behind the B-pillar is directly connected with the tail, which has a certain sense of coupe, which is also a popular design technique in recent years. Except for the low-profile 16-inch rim, all others are equipped with standard 17-inch rims, and the tires are Atlas AS380 owned by Linglong, which belongs to a niche brand. A popular penetrating taillight, with a dragon’s claw mark style with family imprint after lighting.

The brand-new inner room has a sense of design with a wave-like shape, and many soft materials are wrapped in grades. The central control large screen comes standard with 10.1 inches, and the top is 12.8 inches. Like other BYD models, the screen supports rotation. Car machine is DiLink 3.0 intelligent networking system, which supports voice, navigation, APP and other functions. Mobile apps such as Tik Tok and bilibili can be extended at any time, and the overall performance of the system is of the first-class level. The electronic bar is designed with texture, and most functions in the central control area are displayed in Chinese, which is very friendly to Chinese people. At the same time, the middle and high-end models have functions such as wireless charging of mobile phones and driving mode options. The top model adds multi-color atmosphere lights and ACC adaptive endurance function to enhance the sense of grade. The embedded instrument panel looks small in size, but rich in information display, and it can also be equipped with a racing instrument panel designed on the steering column. Of course, the details of this car still need to be optimized, such as the dim lighting in the car at night, and the conflict between the wireless charging position of the mobile phone and the cup holder.

In terms of space, the shape of the front integrated sports seat is in place, and the sense of wrapping is still good. The length of the chair cushion can support the whole thigh, which is commendable. There is nothing wrong with the performance of the rear space, the wheelbase of 2718 mm is equivalent to that of the same level, there is no slot in the rear leg space, and the support of the seat to the thigh is also in place, but the head space will be slightly cramped for adults about 1.8 meters tall.

In the case of sufficient electricity, you can treat this car as an electric car most of the time, which is why many people choose this car. The power is given directly and smoothly. There is a slight vibration when the engine is involved, but it is not as obvious as Toyota twin engines. The noise of the engine is well isolated, and it is almost impossible to feel its running condition. The maximum horsepower of the 55km version of the electric hybrid system is 180 HP, and that of the 120km version is 197 HP. The acceleration of 7.3-7.9 seconds per 100km is equivalent to 2.0T power. The chassis is very complete, the suspension support is good, and there is confidence in cornering. However, due to the cost, the spring adjustment is too tough, and the vibration under rough roads is still obvious. Atlas’s tires are average in performance, with excessive tire noise and moderate grip. It is suggested to change into higher-grade tires later to improve the overall driving quality.

Most car owners who choose Qin PLUS DM-i are running for his biggest feature to save fuel. There are two options: 55 km and 120 km in pure electricity state, because it is not cold weather in winter, and there is no excessive attenuation of electricity. This time, I deliberately tried the state of power loss, but I didn’t deliberately save fuel. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers in hybrid mode is about 3.7-4.0 liters, which is equivalent to the data provided by netizens. What else can I say about this fuel consumption? For this reason, most buyers will choose the 55-kilometer version as an extended-range electric vehicle, and choose their own electricity and oil, which also solves the problem of endurance anxiety of electric vehicles. In addition, the price of the 55 km flagship version of the test drive is 119,800 yuan, compared with the minimum allocation of "two fields" of 130,000-140,000 yuan.

Before the test drive of Qin PLUS DM-i, I really didn’t expect that the progress of plug-in hybrid vehicles with independent brands was advancing by leaps and bounds, combined with brand-new battery management systems and technologies. Although there is still room for optimization in the overall driving experience, the starting price in the early 100,000 yuan can buy such a fuel-efficient plug-in hybrid model, so let’s applaud the progress of our own brands.
