In the new issue of the government gazette, Shenzhen announced the revised "Shenzhen Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Booking Taxi Business Services" (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures"), which came into force on December 1.

　　The new regulations require that newly registered online car-hailing vehicles must be pure electric vehicles. The "Measures" stipulate that vehicles engaged in online car-hailing business services should obtain a "Network Booking Taxi Transport Certificate", and the application for this certificate must meet the requirements of pure electric cars with a wheelbase of more than 2650 mm.

　　At the same time, Shenzhen also has new requirements for drivers. The "Measures" show that drivers engaged in online car-hailing business services should obtain the "Online Booking Taxi Driver’s License", which requires drivers to apply for the online booking taxi driver qualification test and pass the test results.

　　In addition, in order to provide employment convenience for drivers and reduce unnecessary employment restrictions, Shenzhen implements mutual recognition of taxi driver qualification certificates and online booking taxi driver certificates. Drivers can directly drive cruise taxis or online booking taxis before the expiration of the valid period of the former type of certificate.

　　Guangzhou Daily News, more than a year ago, a sudden car accident forced the production of the new version of "The Legend of the Projectile Hero" that was being filmed to stop. Hu Ge, who played the actor Guo Jing, was unable to shoot due to serious facial injuries and was almost disfigured, but the production unit insisted on waiting for Hu Ge to return. On August 31, the cast of "The Projectile" finally resumed full work in Hengdian, and it is expected to be completed on January 10 next year. The reporter conducted an exclusive interview with Hu Ge who was in Hengdian the day before yesterday. On the same day, the crew was filming the scene "Huang Rong worships Hong Qigong as his teacher". Hu Ge, who was full of braids, appeared in front of the reporter in good condition. Now, except for the slightly different skin grafts at the corners of his eyes, the rest is as usual. When it comes to the new version of "The Condor", he has a mixed mood, but he wants everything to be complete and worthy of his friend who died in a car accident.

　　Reporter (hereinafter referred to as "Remember"): You look very smart, how did you show Guo Jing’s honesty?

　　Hu Ge (hereinafter referred to as Hu): Hehe, use performance to make up for the congenital shortcomings. In fact, he did not deliberately show honesty and honesty. Guo Jing’s chivalry and sincerity are more important.

　　Remember: there was the 1983 version of Huang Rihua Zhuyu in front, and the mainland version of Li Yapeng, how do you break through the frozen frame given to Guo Jing by predecessors?

　　Hu: I think the most important thing is to form your own style. When it comes to breakthroughs, there will be pressure. Jin Yong’s Guo Jing is the highest form of chivalry. In his eyes, brotherhood is more important than himself, and national feelings are more important than brotherhood. He and Huang Rong are classic complementaries, a very pure love without any impurities. This is my understanding of Guo Jing, and I will interpret it according to this understanding.

　　Remember: Evaluate Ariel Lin, who plays Huang Rong.

　　Hu: Ariel Lin has added a lot of new things to her performance, and she is more rational than the Huang Rong I remember. We worked together when we were in "Flying Immortals". Ariel Lin is very dedicated and does not complain no matter how hard she works. She also "went on a hunger strike" to lose weight, eating boiled vegetables every day and losing 5kg.

　　Remember: I heard that the kiss scene between the two was deleted?

　　Hu: Haha, it’s not that Guo Jing doesn’t want to kiss, but he doesn’t need this way to express his love.

　　Remember: As a reshoot after a car accident, can you talk about what preparations you made for the reshoot? Many people are very concerned about your current situation.

　　Hu: 10 months away from the public eye, I seem to have been diving for too long and suddenly surfaced, and I’m not used to it all of a sudden… This time I joined the crew two weeks ahead of schedule, and I entered the crew early to get into the state faster.

　　I didn’t get used to re-entering the cast at first, and I was at a loss in the face of the camera. When I needed to hang the wire to shoot, I quickly became excited, because I had also mentally prepared for a year, and of course I was 100% committed to my work when I came back. The producers originally wanted to add a scene of Guo Jing’s injury to explain the changes in the image before and after, and Jin Yong agreed, but in the end they decided to respect the original.

　　Remember: Did you have such a big accident in your life?

　　Hu: I feel that "Condor Shooting" is like my unfinished business, with another friend leaving in the middle (referring to the assistant who died in a car accident). I hope the play can have a happy conclusion.

　　Remember: You seem to be recovering well now. Do you need further cosmetic surgery in the future?

　　Hu: I still need one or two surgeries.

　　Remember: Then what? A plan for the future?

　　Hu: Finished the first album. I feel that my life has always been smooth sailing in the past. Now I am afraid that I am not strong enough to do other things as an actor, and I have a sense of crisis. Guo Jing has gone through a lot of setbacks, and now I can finally resonate with him more.

　　The car accident knocked me out of the original trajectory of life, and also shattered the mask on my face. Brushing past death made me see clearly what is the most important thing in life. Material and desire are external things. The previous life was very superficial, but now I have to face life sincerely again and pick up what I lost little by little.

　　In fact, I myself like to play, so I also like the character of Zhou Botong very much. I am shooting with a playful mentality now. Also, I am still playing photography, and I have a small darkroom at home where I can develop photos. (Reporter Chen Yuzhong)

Editor in charge: Liu Li

The Xiaomi Mi SU7 is the most talked-about car this year.

It just so happened that we also ordered a founding version of the MAX top model and picked an ice berry…

Ah no, the color of Xiaguang purple, and it has been picked up on April 4th, and it is also the first batch of car owners in Hangzhou.

Before picking up the car, we asked everyone what they wanted to know about it.

It can be seen that everyone really cares about this car, collecting nearly 100 questions in one night, and then we sifted through these questions and aggregated them into 34 key questions.

These days, we are on vacation, with several waves of people taking turns to test drive, shuttling through the streets and alleys of Hangzhou, and even going to Shanghai, working until 3 am to run out of power.

In such a high-intensity test drive, we conducted in-depth experience and evaluation of the SU7, and the car has run 1073 kilometers. We also discovered many details that we had not noticed before.

For example, its driving is even more enjoyable than we expected, but its car-machine interaction has not achieved the desired effect because many functions have not yet been implemented.

But overall, we feel that this car is still a good buy.

Therefore, in today’s article, we will not talk about anything else, but will answer the questions that everyone is most concerned about one by one.

Okay, the question-and-answer session begins with the three most asked questions:

1. How about the space in the back row? Will the 1.8-meter seat in the back row be turned up and pushed to the head?

The space in front of the rear legs is okay, but because the seats are too short and the platform is high, the thighs are not supported enough.

As for the head space, our colleague who is nearly 1.8 meters tall sat in it, and it was almost at the top.

We actually measured the flying slope, and the speed of 70 is good, and 80 becomes Super Mario.

2. Test the battery life to see how far it can go.

We started testing on the first night we got the car. From Hangzhou EFC to Shanghai B station headquarters, the air conditioner is 24 ° C, the refrigerator is 2 ° C, and the kinetic energy recovery is soft. The entire road section is about 80% high-speed, 20% urban area, and the high-speed stable speed is between 120-130. There are three people sitting in the car, plus a total of 240 kg of shooting equipment, the outdoor temperature is 11 ° C, and it is raining lightly.

For the SU7 MAX version, we chose 20-inch wheels, and the official CLTC battery life is 750 kilometers.

We went from a full charge to a zero charge, and really, we almost got out of the cart in the middle of the night,The final measured endurance was 462 kilometers.

Hey~ There may be rice noodles or rice black here.

It should be emphasized here,Our battery life test is not for the purpose of running a high battery life, but to fit our habit of often traveling to Shanghai. On the expressway, it is 130, so there is no need to compare with those who run 100 at high speed.

This data is also for your reference. If you are driving in the urban area, it will definitely be no problem to run 500 kilometers.

3. Is Carplay bigger than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class? How about support for Apple’s ecosystem?

Unexpectedly, this function turned out to be a cake.

Carplay is currently unavailable and will have to wait for the OTA.

But you have to ask about the size. The screen of Mercedes-Benz C is 11.9 inches, and Xiaomi’s is 16.1 inches. If the adaptation effect is what Lei Jun showed at the press conference, Xiaomi will definitely be larger.

In addition, the rear row of the SU7 can be controlled by an iPad, which is connected to the vehicle hotspot, and then enters the screen-projecting APP to adjust the air conditioner and seat. However, turning off the air conditioner can only turn off the rear row, and music can also be played at the same time.

However, the iPad does not support PIN point power supply, so it must be plugged in, while the Xiaomi pad can be charged with PIN point.

After finishing the TOP 3 questions, we will answer them in turn from the aspects of the vehicle’s appearance, interior, intelligence, and driving experience.

Let’s talk about the appearance first.

4. Driving into the street, how is the return rate?

No? This is a guaranteed time… Xiaomi SU7.

The return rate is very high. During our live broadcast that night, we were "stopped by the Americans" in Shanghai, and we were even beckoned by a few cars on the highway to see the cars.

Let’s put it this way, driving a big car now may not be more attractive than the SU7.

5. Is the vehicle workmanship good and how is the assembly effect?

Our car is smaller than the various seams on the assembly of the trial car, the rear wing is slightly uneven, and the overall workmanship of the vehicle is at a medium level, which is better than expected. As for the workmanship of the high-mounted brake lights at the back, our car is not so exaggerated…

6. I heard that car paint is not scratch-resistant, is that true?

It feels okay to use it these days, unless you want to scratch it.

By the way, I asked the after-sales service for you. One surface of SU7 refinish is 800, not counting labor costs. How much is your car?

7. Will the electric tailgate pinch your hands? Will bananas and cucumbers be pinch off?

The paper is clamped firmly.

The carrot and banana were both clipped and then bounced away, causing some injuries.

Hands are fine, but don’t try it lightly.

8. Are the front and trunk large?

The front tank is very large, although there is a slope, but in fact it does not affect the loading. The main problem is that the glass water filling hole is on the inside of the rubber strip, and the actual use may flow into the front tank, but there is no drain hole inside. If you are not careful, water will accumulate.

No wonder Ray always said that he could put the fish he caught in front. It turned out that he could raise fish.

There is enough space in the trunk, because it is relatively deep, and there is still room under the cover plate, so you can put some small pieces. However, because the bottom of the trunk is hollow, the load-bearing capacity is only 35kg, so you should be careful when using it.

9. Does the semi-hidden door handle have mechanical buttons? Can the door be opened when the vehicle is powered off?

We specially consulted Xiaomi’s people,As long as the vehicle is powered off, there is only a broken window to enter the car, and there is no mechanical switch on the outside.

And there is a mechanical door opening device inside, which is on the door panel.

Is it necessary to upgrade the 10.21-inch wheels?

The 21-inch wheel hub looks handsome or handsome, and the overall appearance is larger.

But because the vehicle itself uses a 20 Michelin PS EV, high-speed wind noise and tire noise are obvious, and a 21-inch Pirelli P ZERO tire with a tire width of 245/35 (rear tire 265mm) is also more expensive than a PS EV. Unless you are a pure driving enthusiast and are ready to brush the track, there is no need to go.

Let’s take a look at the interior issue again.

11. Does the car smell big, and how are the interior materials and workmanship?

The smell of SU 7 is the smallest among the new energy vehicles I have tried so far. Of course, it may also be because of the founder’s version that the current car has been in the sun for many days.

I think the interior materials are actually not as good as Krypton 001. For example, SU7 under the door panel is a hard plastic, and 001 is a soft coating.

The workmanship is okay, and I didn’t find any big problems. It is the OEM of the founding version on the steering wheel. When playing the direction at a large angle, there are rowers.

The picture above is SU7, and the picture below is 001.

12. A 1/4 threaded interface is reserved on the car. Is it convenient to shoot Vlogs?

There are three 1/4 ports in the front row, one for the left side of the main driver to take a close-up view of the face, one for the middle shot, and one for the rearview mirror in the middle to take a picture of the road conditions and the car. You can arrange any position you want.

If that’s not enough, you can also add a suction cup to the canopy glass, and the SU7 car ecosystem can be considered clear.

But do so many people (like me) really like to photograph their own cars?

13. How does the refrigerator work? Is the Coke cold?

It just so happens that we have a Taiwan M9 and a refrigerator, so let’s make a Horizontal comparison.

We filled two refrigerators with 22 ° C Coke at the same time, and the temperature of the refrigerators was adjusted to the lowest level. After an hour of temperature measurement, the Coke in the Xiaomi SU7 dropped to about 10 ° C, which was 2 ° C lower than the temperature of the refrigerator.

This semiconductor refrigerator is enough to ice a Coke, but we found that using Xiaomi refrigerator is really troublesome.There is no way to open the refrigerator by calling Xiao Ai, so you have to find the buttons in the car machine by yourself, and the temperature control of the refrigerator is also hidden deep.

14. How is the massage strength of the front seat?

Sorry, the SU7 series does not have seat massage.

But this price car, even with a seat massage, is almost interesting to use. If you cut this in exchange for a cheaper car price, then I don’t think it’s a problem.

15. What are the ways to play with various accessories?

Okay, let’s take a look at the intelligence of the car. Xiaomi, as a mobile phone factory, builds cars, and this part has the most problems.

16. How does Mijia ecology work?

In fact, the Mijia APP in the mobile phone got on the bus, and the functions that can be realized in the car are all on the mobile phone. The icon in the car machine is large, which is more convenient to click. Other than that, I didn’t feel too much freshness.

But there is a slot point that there is no "select all" button when importing. Milo’s Mi family in our hardware department has about 90 devices, so we really need to click one by one.

17. Is there a sentinel mode?

Yes, and the viewing angles are rich, and there is no blind spot monitoring for 6 viewing angles. It takes about 2 kWh to open overnight. But because it is parked in the park, there may be more people passing by, which may also affect the power consumption.

18. Is Xiao Ai smooth? Can you let her capture the violation of the car in front? If the mobile phone and the car are not the same Xiaomi account, will calling Xiao Ai respond?

Xiao Ai was very fluent, and his response was also very humanized. This was reflected in the fact that when you called him, it was not a stiff "Hello to the main driver, hello to the co-pilot", sometimes "Hey", and sometimes "What’s wrong".

One night, I felt cold and asked her to turn on the seat to heat it up. She actually said, "It’s open for you, and it will be warm soon." This kind of humanized feedback is an unexpected little surprise. You can also try to explore it. There will definitely be more application scenarios for large models in the future.

As for the violation of the front car, and the demonstration at the press conference can answer what model the front car is, we have to wait for the OTA.

If the mobile phone and the car are not the same account, call Xiao Ai, and both will answer. If it is the same account, our mobile phone will sometimes be lit up after we tried it, but there will be no response in the next step. It is still Xiao Ai of the car and the car that is talking to you.

19. Is intelligent driving far ahead of the world?

At present, Xiaomi has not yet opened urban NOA, only high-speed elevated NOA, the actual experience is much more radical than the world, but also because of the steering ratio or training reasons, the high-speed autonomous lane change is very fast and stable, and it does not follow the car at all. If there is a chance, it will exceed. Depending on personal preference, we think it is very good.

However, this would make people feel less at ease. In comparison, the wise driver of the world was more composed.

20. I want to take a look at the car’s running score.

We would also like to try it, but the current problem is that the Xiaomi car is closed, there is no developer mode, and there are only a few fixed applications in the app store.

After trying various methods, I have not successfully installed Antutu.

At the moment of writing the article, we are still figuring out how to install it. When we succeed, we will let you know immediately.

21. Can the car be connected to a Bluetooth headset?

Tried it, didn’t work.

22. When there is no network in the underground parking lot, can the car still be used?

No way.After being disconnected from the Internet, it is mentally retarded.

23. Is the black edge of the screen big? Can the car play 3A? Can you say "Yuan God, start!"?

The black edge is okay, but this car is not a complete game at present. There are strategies like "Return to the Future 1999" and "Kingdom Guard Army", as well as RPGs like "Crystal Nucleus", but why do you want to play games on the car? Don’t you have a mobile phone? (dog head)

24. The sound effect is good, how are you ok?

The sound is quite ordinary, the sound is rubbed together, and there is a lack of layering. I have tried several modes of the sound field, and I feel almost interesting.

For the "are you ok" that everyone was looking forward to, of course Xiaomi also hid an Easter egg. You said to Xiao Ai, "I want to hear Lei Jun’s voice", and it came.

25. Ask Xiao Ai to open the airbag, will it be successful?

Xiao Ai is ignoring you at all…?

After talking about so many static experiences, of course, there are also many friends who are very concerned about how the car drives. Let’s talk about the driving experience of the SU7 again.

26. Many professional drivers say that the driving experience is unique. Acceleration, drift, front and rear power distribution, and chassis tuning are very powerful. I want to see the actual measurement.

In terms of the texture of the chassis alone, it is unbeatable at this price. The whole is very sporty, and it has a strong floor absorption when opened. The filter shock is advanced enough, which is the kind of performance that always gives you feedback on the road, but all the excess rare vibrations are filtered out. Colleagues in the editorial department are full of praise for this chassis.

And under this chassis, the SU7’s brakes are not good enough, the front section is more sensitive, but it is not the kind of linear braking performance, you can feel the empty position when you step on it. Such a good chassis should be equipped with a better brake.

Then, the steering of the SU7 is very precise, the steering ratio is small, and there is almost no empty position. But I think the steering damping of the sports mode can be a little larger.

We also tried drifting. Although the front and rear power distribution of this car can be adjusted steplessly, it is difficult to find the critical point of drifting because the tire grip is too strong and the power is fierce.

27. How about NVH? Will the highway be noisy?

It was not particularly good. At 90 per hour, the highest noise in the car would reach 70 dB, but it was not at an unacceptable level. At this speed, the voice in the car could still be heard clearly.

28. Are there any restrictions on track mode? If a novice driver drives sports or track mode on the street, is there a risk of losing control?

The track mode is about this master mode. There are many adjustable items, not only can you adjust the front and rear power, but also the kinetic energy recovery of the front and rear motors can be adjusted separately, and the anti-skid can also be turned off completely.

We very much do not recommend that novices go to the street to try the master mode. SU7 steering ratio is small and the horsepower is large. If there is no anti-skid, it will be very easy to lose control if the operation is not good.

29. How does it feel to cross the pit and pass the speed bump? Will the chassis be scratched in the lower basement?

One word, cool. The chassis is very neat after a big pit, the body does not collapse, and it is very tough after a small pit, and the filter shock is just right.

Generally, it is not possible to scrape the chassis in the basement, but when you come up, don’t set the suspension to the lowest level, or you will be like me…

30. What is the level of suspension? Is it necessary to choose?

This problem is like buying a Xiaomi phone. Xiaomi has always been the most cost-effective. If you have the budget, you can choose it or not.

Our top version with max, it can be said that Xiaomi’s air suspension is very good. Although it is a single-cavity air suspension, it can still firmly support the body during intense driving. When crossing big ditches and major hurdles, the rebound is very fast, and the overall tuning will not feel stiff, but very resilient.

And, buddy, how can you lie low if you don’t buy an empty suspension? This is the Tayc Xiaomi SU7.

However, we have booked a test drive 215,900 low-end version, and the comparison will be clearer.

In addition to the car itself, there are also people who are curious about the issue of buying a car.

31. How much is vehicle insurance?

There are three insurance institutions in the delivery center in Hangzhou, and the prices are all between 8,000 and 9,400 yuan. The company is 8,200, and the individual is more than 9,000.

Among them, there is a new new energy insurance item that can be mentioned, such as the failure of the external power grid, 140 yuan. It mainly guarantees that spontaneous combustion caused by the problem of the external power grid can be compensated. There is also tire insurance, about 100 yuan. If four tires are damaged or blown, they can be replaced with tires of the same model, size and brand. Another is that medical insurance external drugs are insurance for drugs that are not covered by medical insurance after an accident among the three.

Everyone considered the tire suggestion carefully, and the other two suggestions were ticked, and there was not much money.

32. The family is choosing a car. When my parents hear about Xiaomi, they don’t consider it. They say that the quality of a mobile phone manufacturer’s car is definitely not as good as that of an old car company. How can I convince my family to choose Xiaomi SU7?

It’s very simple, whoever pays will listen to whom.

33. If there is no delivery center in the city where you are located, what about the maintenance at the back? When buying a used car, is there a difference in the warranty?

At present, if you don’t have a delivery center in your city, you can only go to a place with a delivery center for maintenance. For example, Jinhua doesn’t have it, so you can only come to Hangzhou for maintenance. Xiaomi’s official answer is that maintenance centers in multiple cities are being opened as soon as possible, and the coastal area should open faster.

Finally, let’s talk about a problem that my friends are very concerned about.

34. Why didn’t you choose 925 for your founding edition number?

The source of 9.25 was on that day, we pigeon friends, and there is no daily push. So if you choose No. 925, there will be no content in this issue…

Okay, here are the answers to our questions about this Xiaomi SU7.

Due to various reasons, there are still some questions raised by everyone that we have not had time to evaluate. For example, how is the sun protection ability of SU7? It is rainy in Hangzhou these days, and the temperature is not high, so conditions do not allow it.

In addition, there are some functions like city NOA that need to be updated by the manufacturer.

Editor in charge: Q above

On September 12, 2023, the much-anticipated Wenjie new M7 was officially launched, attracting the attention of consumers and the automotive industry. At a price of 249,800, it brought a series of surprising features and functions, highlighting the world’s leading position in the field of smart travel. In today’s era of waiting for everything, even buying Huawei Mate 60 Pro + and Mate X5 needs to wait, but the new M7 will be delivered as soon as it is launched, allowing users to enjoy the joy brought by the new car immediately.

The Xiaoyi smart assistant equipped on the new M7 in Wenjie has left a deep impression, realizing dialogue text completion. Drivers can control navigation, music, communication and other functions through simple voice commands, achieving true voice control. This not only improves the convenience of driving, but also greatly reduces the driver’s distraction and improves driving safety. It is worth mentioning that Xiaoyi smart assistant is very friendly to all passengers in the whole car, and even the voice of the rear passengers can easily control the vehicle. For example, in hot summer or cold winter, everyone’s physical condition perception is different. At this time, just simply say "adjust the temperature of the air conditioner", and Xiaoyi will automatically adjust according to the instructions issued by different locations, which is very convenient and practical.

Of course, what is even more attractive is the new Hongmeng Smart Cockpit 3.0 in the car, which has super desktop functions. The car and mobile phone can achieve a true "seamless connection", which brings people a first-class experience. For example, when you enter the corresponding address on the mobile phone, get on the car and connect to the car through the car and machine, and the address information in the app can be transferred to the car map. The map navigation function can also be turned on synchronously to provide drivers with a more intelligent travel experience. When encountering a bad signal, the map navigation is sometimes delayed. The car supports offline map voice navigation. As long as it is a destination you have been to before, the automatic speech recognition rate of offline navigation can reach 99%, allowing drivers to easily deal with various road conditions and ensuring driving safety.

What’s more exciting is that the new M7 is equipped with the HUAWEI ADS 2.0 advanced intelligent driving system, which takes the active safety capacity enhancement to a new height. Among them, the AEB automatic emergency braking function can sense the obstacles ahead and automatically brake during the vehicle’s driving, effectively avoiding the occurrence of collision accidents. Even at speeds up to 90km/h, the AEB can stop steadily. And the LCC lane cruise assist with multiple fusion perception of machine vision and lidar can more accurately identify the behavior of the vehicle and surrounding traffic participants. This function is particularly practical in scenarios such as complex road conditions, which can release the driver’s stress and enjoy a more comfortable and relaxed driving experience.

In addition, the new M7 is equipped with APA custom parking function, making parking easier and safer. By monitoring the environment around the vehicle in real time, the system can provide accurate parking instructions, minimizing the risk of scratches and collisions. For drivers who are not good at parking, this feature is undoubtedly a great boon.

In addition to intelligent technology, the new M7 has further improved comfort, with a new five-seat version, which has the largest effective space in the car in the same class, which is larger and more comfortable. And it also adopts a 10-layer seat comfort stack design, with a foam thickness of 100mm to greatly improve comfort. At the same time, the four seats in the front and rear rows are equipped with standard ventilation, heating and massage functions, which can be said to directly fill the comfort!

To sum up, the new M7 sold 249,800 has brought a new experience to consumers with its excellent intelligent technology, excellent safety performance and high interconnection performance. I believe that with the new M7, it will further promote the development of intelligent travel, and is committed to becoming a pioneer, changer and leader in the field of new energy vehicles!

　　Red Star Capital Bureau news on November 2nd, 1st, some netizens broke the news in Maimai that NIO (09866.HK/NIO.US) started layoffs, ranging from 10% to 20%, involving multiple departments and positions. Employees certified as NIO Technology (Anhui) Co., Ltd. also confirmed the news on Maimai.

　　However, on the afternoon of November 2, the original post was deleted. NIO told the Red Star Capital Bureau that it had not received relevant information. A number of NIO front-line sales and marketing personnel also said that they had not heard of any layoffs.

　　NIO is hard to break "20,000 car spell"

　　On November 1, car companies disclosed sales in October. Li Auto (02015.HK/LI.US) has sold more than 40,000 vehicles a month; XPeng Motors (09868.HK/XPEV.US), which was once at the bottom, reversed the decline and broke through the 20,000 mark; AITO asked the single model to deliver more than 10,000 vehicles a month, holding 80,000 orders menacing; Zero car (09863.HK), extreme krypton cars have also set a monthly delivery record.

　　NIO delivered 16,000 vehicles in October, an increase of 2.77% month-on-month, still failing to reach the 20,000 mark. Li Bin, chairperson of NIO, previously announced: "Confident that sales will achieve 20,000 vehicles in a single month in the second half of the year". From January to October, NIO delivered a total of 126,000 new vehicles, and the annual delivery target (245,000 vehicles) was just over half.

　　In April and May, sales fell to more than 6,000 vehicles; at the end of May, the new ES6, known as the "hope of the whole village", began to be delivered, and in June NIO deliveries returned to 10,000 vehicles; on June 12, NIO announced a price reduction of 30,000 yuan for all new cars, and deliveries in July soared to 20,000 vehicles; but it fell again in August, and hovered around 16,000 vehicles in September and October.

　　Although there are remedies such as a price reduction of 30,000 yuan and the same price of ET5T and ET5, NIO still cannot escape the "20,000 car curse".

　　26,800 employees in 2022,

　　Over 11.20 billion yuan salary

　　At the end of last year, Li Bin said that "as long as the salary can be issued, it is easy to avoid layoffs." "Maintaining 100% of the people and completing 150% of the work, this should be what we should do."

　　However, in January this year, Li Bin’s letter to all staff mentioned the need to streamline the team. The letter pointed out that the team will continue to expand in 2022, but there are many cases of unclear responsibilities, inconsistent goals, imperfect processes, and repeated construction, and there is still much room for improvement in efficiency.

　　The 2022 annual report shows that NIO has 26,800 employees, ideally 19,400 employees, and Xiaopeng has 15,800 employees.

　　NIO paid more than 11.20 billion yuan in employee compensation in 2022, and if it layoffs 10% -20%, it can save about 11.2-22 40 million yuan.

　　As of June 30 this year, NIO’s cash reserves were 31.50 billion yuan, a decrease of 6.30 billion yuan from the first quarter. In July, NIO completed a $738.50 million strategic equity investment from Abu Dhabi investment institutions. On September 19, NIO announced its intention to issue a $1 billion convertible senior bond.

　　NIO’s material cash requirements due within one year, which mainly include capital commitments, operating and finance lease commitments, short-term and long-term bank borrowings, convertible bonds, and asset-backed securities and bonds, are $19.708 billion.

　　Self-developed chips, operating systems, mobile phones, batteries,

　　"All of it" is expensive

　　In the second quarter, NIO’s net loss was 6.056 billion yuan. According to the delivery volume of 54,600 vehicles in the first half of the year, NIO sold an average car at a loss of 200,000 yuan; the overall gross profit margin fell to 1%, 1.5% in the first quarter, and 13% in the same period last year. Li Bin postponed the break-even date from the fourth quarter of this year by less than one year.

　　In the third quarter, NIO’s sales increased by 135.74% to 55,400 vehicles, but the performance is not optimistic. Although NIO cancelled the free power exchange and reduced the owner’s rights, the remaining expenses are all "hard bones".

　　R & D investment cannot be saved. Smart cars are all about technology, and car companies are not hesitant to invest. NIO’s R & D expenses in the second quarter reached 3.345 billion yuan. Li Bin previously said that the average R & D expenses per quarter in 2023 will remain at 3 billion – 3.50 billion yuan.

　　Supplementary energy system also need to increase investment, which is the core competitiveness of NIO. NIO plans to build a total of more than 2,300 substation in 2023, according to the second generation station 150-2 million yuan construction cost calculation, to invest at least 3.45 billion yuan.

　　Service-related expenses are difficult to reduce. NIO’s positioning is a "user-based enterprise", and the ultimate service is the core of the brand and the competitiveness of differentiation.

　　"NIO wants everything, the stall is too big," Hao Liu, an independent automotive analyst, told Red Star Capital.

　　NIO’s self-developed chip "Yang Jian" was mass-produced in October, with a chip research and development team of 800 people; self-developed vehicle global operating system Tianshu SkyOS; NIO is currently the only new car manufacturer with a self-built mobile phone team, and NIO Phone has been listed.

　　Previously, NIO was also exposed to develop lithium manganese iron phosphate and 4680 batteries, and plans to mass-produce these two batteries to supply NIO (NIO) and its sub-brand Alps.

　　Li Bin mentioned in the third quarter of 2022 earnings call that NIO expects to invest 3 billion-4 billion yuan in sub-brands, batteries, chips, mobile phones and other related businesses in 2023, and will not stop investing in new businesses before the fourth quarter of 2023.

　　Will NIO be China’s future automaker?

　　According to data from the Passenger Federation, the number of passenger car companies in China was 82 by the end of 2022, and 64 by September 2023, a decrease of 18 in nine months.

　　The collapse of Weimar Automobile has sounded the alarm for the industry. Although the official denied the rumors that Chairperson Shen Hui ran overseas, saying that the company is actively saving itself and has not filed for bankruptcy, the fact is that Weimar Automobile has fallen behind in sales since 2022, selling one at a loss, financing difficulties, and the capital chain is broken.

　　Wang Xing, Meituan’s founder, predicted in early 2020: "China’s car companies are basically competing for the next two rounds of the ‘3 + 3 + 3 ‘competition. In addition to three central enterprises, three local state-owned enterprises and three private enterprises, the three new forces are Ideal, NIO and Xiaopeng."

　　This pattern may change, but it is an industry consensus that the number of Chinese automakers will be limited in the future.

　　At the 2023 China Automobile Chongqing Forum, Yin Tongyue, chairperson of Chery Automobile, Ding Lei, chairperson of Gaohe Automobile, Zhu Jiangming, chairperson of Zero Run Automobile, Ma Donghui, president of Li Auto, Yu Chengdong, executive director of Huawei, and Shen Feng, executive vice president of NIO, expressed their views on the future industry structure. They believe that there will be less than 10 Chinese car companies in the future, and maybe even less than or equal to 5.

　　The industry generally believes that 2024 will be the year of life and death for the auto market. Li Bin also said in late 2022 that 2024 is the final stage of the new energy vehicle industry. "We believe we have the qualification to participate in the finals."

　　

– Adhere to independent innovation and submit more than 800 patent applications

　　No makeup, want to take beautiful and moving makeup? The face is overweight, how can I create a perfect face shape? The skin tone is poor, what should I do if I dare not be photographed… Don’t worry, with just one click, these photography problems that have plagued beauty lovers can be easily solved. With the launch of Xiamen Meitu Network Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Meitu) series of beauty technology products, almost all kinds of mobile phones on the market are equipped with Meitu’s camera function, enabling people to enjoy beauty anytime, anywhere.

　　"Since its establishment, Meitu has always regarded technological innovation and patent layout as an important support for the development of the enterprise. At present, Meitu has submitted more than 800 patent applications at home and abroad, of which more than 80% are invention patent applications, and has formed a working model of’encouraging technological innovation and following up legal protection ‘." Chen Jinsong, senior legal director of Meitu, said that Meitu has always attached great importance to technological research and development, and patents have become a blockbuster weapon for Meitu, which will gain an advantage for its future participation in overseas market competition.

　　Focusing on innovation and enhancing patent strength

　　"With the continuous improvement of the social and economic level, people’s food, clothing, housing and transportation have been greatly satisfied, and more and more emphasis has been placed on the realization and improvement of self-worth. In order to conform to the development trend of society and meet the public’s pursuit of beauty, Meitu came into being." Chen Jinsong said that before this, similar retouching software had been available in the market, but these software were not only cumbersome to operate, but also relatively rough in terms of image beautification functions. Meitu Xiuxiu software just makes up for these problems, and can present a realistic and perfect retouching effect for the public with one click.

　　It is understood that since its establishment in 2008, Meitu has taken the research and development of software products as the starting point of the company’s business. With strong research and development capabilities, it has launched a variety of Meitu Internet products and occupied a large market share. With the continuous development of business, since 2012, Meitu has gradually tried to develop hardware products such as mobile phones, and systematically integrated software and hardware products to form effective data sharing. During this period, patents have played a crucial role in Meitu’s development.

　　Before 2012, Meitu’s patent applications were few, but by 2016, its patent applications had reached more than 800. These achievements reflect not only the company’s own high priority for patents, but also its unique patent management.

　　"In the early days of Meitu’s establishment, it established an intellectual property center in the legal department, with the aim of assisting relevant technology research and development departments in technology integration and patent mining." Chen Jinsong said that on the one hand, through the formulation of annual and quarterly patent research and development plans, the intellectual property center regularly invites patent agencies to jointly analyze and mine the company’s innovative technologies effectively, and avoids unnecessary legal risks by searching for global patents for technologies and helping to find similar patents. On the other hand, the company has also set up a corresponding patent reward mechanism for technology research and development personnel. Through the establishment of bonuses, job promotions, and performance appraisal, the enthusiasm of all employees to participate in technology research and development and patent protection is mobilized.

　　Technology is the cornerstone of enterprise development. In the process of development, Meitu not only increases its own technology research and development, but also gathers innovation capabilities and enhances patent strength through various channels. "In order to enhance market competitiveness, Meitu continuously expands and improves its own technology accumulation by purchasing some patents at home and abroad, and also enhances patent reserves by jointly investing and holding foreign enterprises." Chen Jinsong said that at present, Meitu is also actively cooperating with universities and scientific research units to increase technology research and development in related fields, so as to achieve integrated development of industry, education and research.

　　After years of accumulation, Meitu has so far received more than 400 patent applications, of which more than half are invention patents. Its core technologies mainly focus on image recognition and processing, image beautification display effects, and pixel resolution.

　　Relying on patents to participate in market competition

　　Patents are not for decoration, but to maximize their value, and Meitu knows this well. "When the company was just starting out, Meitu mainly focused on software products as its core business and paid more attention to the copyright field. But with the continuous expansion of its business scope, especially in the field of mobile phones, the importance of patents to the company’s development has become increasingly prominent." Chen Jinsong said that due to the support of a relatively deep patent reserve, Meitu has tasted the "sweetness" in the fierce market competition.

　　"In 2017, Meitu launched a brand-new limited-edition mobile phone for the beautiful girl, along with the beautiful girl wand selfie stick. This stylish and novel selfie stick was developed by Meitu from idea to design, and a design patent application was submitted around the product. Once it was released, it was well received by consumers. However, not long after the new product was launched, similar products appeared on the market. Meitu responded quickly to this situation and sent a lawyer’s letter to the e-commerce platform that sold its products. Then, the platform removed the relevant products from the shelves." Chen Jinsong said that this patent rights protection experience made Meitu more aware of the importance of patents to enterprises, and also inspired the enthusiasm of all employees for technological research and development.

　　In recent years, in addition to increasing investment in technology research and development, Meitu has also formed a rather unique cultivation concept in the field of intellectual property talent training. "Intellectual property has a very strict demand for talents, so the company adheres to the talent cultivation concept of’going in ‘and’going out’." Chen Jinsong introduced that the so-called "going in" means that the intellectual property team must not only have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of laws, economics and patents, but also have a deep understanding of the company’s relevant technologies, and be able to accurately judge whether a technology can bring value to the company’s development; "going out" means that the intellectual property specialist must not only have the general capabilities to connect related businesses internally and obtain various patent information externally, but also actively participate in industry training to find technology research and development points for the company’s follow-up related technology excavation.

　　It is relying on comprehensive, scientific and efficient intellectual property management that Meitu has achieved remarkable results in recent years. In December 2016, Meitu was listed on the main board of Hong Kong, with a market value of more than 36 billion Hong Kong dollars, becoming the second largest Internet company after Tencent in market value. The operating income in the first half of 2017 was also significantly improved compared with 2016. "At present, Meitu imaging and community software products have been activated on 1.10 billion ** devices around the world." Chen Jinsong said that in the future, Meitu will continue to make efforts in the fields of intelligent electronic end points, community platforms and image processing to bring more beautiful enjoyment to the majority of users.

In 2020, the local life service industry can be described as war-torn and turbulent. During the epidemic, staying at home to buy and buy has become the home lifestyle of most people. And the takeaway platform represented by "Ele.me" has also taken advantage of the trend and changed from a single catering delivery service in the past to the number one player in local life services.

According to data, this year’s Ele.me saw a gratifying rise in various business data. With the help of people’s online consumption habits, Ele.me can be said to have made a beautiful turnaround in local life services. So, what did Ele.me experience this year to reach the peak of this era and become a leader in local life services?

Service upgrade to deal with the epidemic, revenue and the number of merchants double growth

According to Ali’s financial report, the revenue from local consumer services in the first fiscal quarter was RMB 7.101 billion yuan (about 1.005 billion US dollars), an increase of 15% over RMB 6.18 billion yuan in the same period last year.

It can be seen that from the most serious period of the epidemic, Ele.me has been providing users with basic life services such as food ordering and delivery, and has continuously enlarged the business volume.

It is understood that during this period, Ele.me has launched five major measures, including commission reduction, financial support, and the rapid launch of takeaway, which have concentrated the value of its "new services" and showcased the tremendous energy of local services.

In addition, in February 2020, Ele.me and other fresh merchants, such as Youxian Vegetable Market, Caiwenji, and Vegetable Commune, guaranteed the shopping business in 38 cities across the country to meet the food supply of consumers during the epidemic prevention and control period, covering a total of 60,000 stores. Since then, the service business of fresh vegetable delivery has become an important business segment of Ele.me.

During this period, on the Ele.me APP page, after consumers enter the grocery buying channel, they can find nearby fresh stores, and vegetables, fruits, meat, poultry and aquatic products can be purchased in one stop. It is worth mentioning that the average number of Ele.me stores in a single city is more than 1,000, covering most areas of the urban area. Moreover, with the gradual recovery of store business rate, the coverage has further expanded.

It is understood that Ele.me also adopts a self-operated model to increase the amount of directly sourced ingredients from high-quality origins to ensure the supply of fresh vegetables, meat and poultry and other ingredients. Moreover, for consumers who do not have an online vegetable market nearby, they can also use the Hummingbird errand service, and the takeaway brother will buy the food on their behalf.

In response to the epidemic, Ele.me’s service upgrade is like a timely rain. For example, in terms of preventing virus infection, Ele.me has also launched a contactless "peace of mind delivery" service nationwide, avoiding face-to-face contact during delivery.

Consumers can choose "contactless delivery" in the remarks column of the order, and ask to place the goods at the designated location such as the door, front desk, etc. After the rider is properly placed, they can pick up the goods without direct contact.

In Wuhan, where the epidemic situation was the most severe at that time, Ele.me cooperated with "10,000 tons" to "displace" Wuhan’s 100 self-pickup points, allowing consumers to place orders online and pick up dishes at their doorstep according to their own time, which was very convenient and fast.

Strategic upgrade expands boundaries, Ele.me realizes "everything can be sent"

On July 10, 2020, Ele.me announced a comprehensive upgrade, from a catering takeaway platform to a life service platform that solves all the immediate needs of users. Then on July 17, the Ele.me APP was newly revised and launched.

This upgrade covers four aspects: from food delivery to providing full-service city life, personalized recommendation, content-based interaction, and membership system upgrade. At the same time, the Ele.me takeaway brand has been upgraded and Wang Yibo has been invited as the brand spokesperson.

This strategic shift is no accident. In 2019, Ali’s local life service company released the "new service" strategy, which is based on the intelligence of the service system, the intelligence of the product system, and the intelligence of the hardware system to comprehensively help merchants reduce costs and increase efficiency.

So far, Ele.me’s focus on local life services has changed from "traffic" to "people" – "We want to make operators no longer rely on’traffic ‘to make money, but on’craftsmanship’ to make money, so that every worker can gain dignity in the industry," Ele.me CEO Wang Lei said in an interview with the media last year.

After this comprehensive upgrade, Ele.me continues to focus on consumers’ "economy around them" from delivery to delivery of all things and services. The connotation of "delivery of all things" is constantly expanding, and goods and services can be taken home. In addition to retail goods such as fresh milk, mother and baby toys, beauty, books, stationery, sports equipment, etc., items such as manicure, beauty, housekeeping, and cleaning will also be delivered to your door.

Ele.me also launched a new service of "ordering at will" for the first time. When users order fresh milk and other takeaways, in addition to instant delivery, they can also enjoy cycle delivery, with 7-day, 15-day, and 30-day options.

In fact, Ele.me up the ante non-catering takeaway service, consumer demand-driven results. Over the past year, Ele.me users’ non-catering demand has continued to grow, especially in supermarkets, fruits and vegetables, medicine, flowers and other categories.

After the epidemic hit, with the sharp increase in the number of non-catering stores, the number of such stores even exceeded that of traditional catering stores. For example, the number of pet supply stores increased by 6 times, and the number of hot pot skewers and mother and baby stores also increased exponentially.

Obviously, today, Ele.me has got rid of the label of food delivery platform and become a veritable local life service platform. And its core competitiveness is also increasingly competitive because of the increasing number and categories of platform merchants.

Ten Billion Subsidies Seize Double 11 Home, MAU Data Reaches Peak

In August this year, Ele.me launched Ten Billion Subsidy, and as it has said to the outside world, it has turned Ten Billion Subsidy into a regular action. The specific gameplay is that consumers can enjoy an additional subsidy of up to 20 yuan when they place an order at a merchant participating in Ten Billion Subsidy. The subsidy amount can be used in combination with red envelopes and price-break discounts.

Subsequent to three consecutive upgrades in less than three months, the scope of subsidies expanded from catering to life services and other categories, and the subsidy cities expanded from the original 24 cities to nearly 130 cities. According to reports, with the advancement of the Ten Billion Subsidy project, the scope of subsidies will continue to expand to all categories, including daily general merchandise, medicine, snacks, fresh fruits, rice noodles grain and oil, pet supplies, etc.

According to the data of QuestMobile, an authoritative third-party data agency in China, in June 2020, after the deduplicate APP and Mini Program were added, the monthly active user number (MAU) of Ele.me was 76.61 million. Before the opening of Double Eleven this year, the monthly active user scale in October broke the historical record, reaching the peak and ranking first in the industry.

This also indicates that Ele.me’s 2020 service upgrade, platform upgrade, strategic upgrade and other measures have begun to bear fruit. While the category and number of merchants have doubled, it has also brought a huge increase in new users. And under the double up the ante of Alibaba capital and platform resources, the Ele.me platform also shows a strong platform appeal and brand influence.

In the past Double 11, local merchants benefited significantly from the new cycle of "nunchakus" this year. Ele.me continued to break through in catering by virtue of its card coupons and live broadcast advantages: during Double 11, the sales of multiple takeaway categories and catering brands on the platform increased by more than 100% year-on-year, and takeaway orders in lower-tier markets surged. Orders in nearly 40 prefecture-level cities rose by more than 50% year-on-year, and orders in many cities across the country more than doubled year-on-year.

Whether it is the exponential growth of Ele.me MAU, the increase in the number of merchants on the platform, or the sharp increase in the order volume of its platform, there is no doubt that it has strengthened the moat for its competition in the takeaway track, and it can be said to be the success of its Double Eleven strategy.

Alibaba’s new retail system empowers Ele.me to attack new digital services

In September this year, at the 2020 Alibaba Investor Conference, Ele.me CEO Wang Lei revealed that in the past year, Ele.me and Alibaba Group have completed comprehensive integration, not only connecting with the group in terms of users and traffic, but also Ele.me’s product technology and other infrastructure are also on Alibaba Cloud. After the integration is completed, Ele.me began to appear "food card", "sub-province" and many other differentiated goods and services, and its ecological growth flywheel has begun to start.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Yong, chairperson and CEO of Alibaba Alibaba, also attaches great importance to the business of Ele.me. He once said to the internal team: Local life service will be a tough battle, and this battle needs to be fought together.

When Zhang Yong said everyone, he meant to start this battle with Hu Xiaoming, CEO of Ant Group. Two years ago, in April 2018, Alibaba completed its largest acquisition – the full acquisition of Ele.me for $9.50 billion. In October, Alibaba integrated Ele.me and Koubei to officially establish a local life service company, which is enough to prove that Alibaba has strategic ambitions to eat local life services.

This is due to the synergy effect between Ele.me and various businesses in Alibaba’s economy, including Alipay, Taobao, and Autonavi. Ali’s financial report disclosed that as of March 31, 40% of the new consumers of Ele.me food delivery came from Alipay.

During the 318 Alipay City Life Week, consumers ordered 1.66 million cups of Coke and 1.76 million skewers of mutton through Ele.me; more than 80,000 hot pot restaurants and more than 60,000 milk tea shops recovered and even exceeded the level before the epidemic. During the "Shanghai Five-Year Shopping Festival", Shanghai’s small shops in Ele.me orders increased by more than 40% compared with the same period in March.

Alibaba Group’s latest financial report shows that local life service revenue in fiscal 2020 was RMB 25.44 billion yuan, an increase of 41% year-on-year, "mainly due to the increase in the number of orders delivered and the increase in the average value per unit."

The soaring data, on the one hand, is due to the connection with Alipay, Taobao, Tmall, Autonavi and other national-level traffic portals, and the diversion of merchants through Ele.me. On the other hand, in the next year, Ali Local Life will upgrade the "Digital Intelligence Zhongtai" for 1 million merchants to help them realize the digital upgrade of the full link of operation. At the same time, Ali Local Life will also help more than 5,000 merchants open Tmall stores to realize the connection between retail e-commerce and local life.

This is also the implementation of the "new service" strategy proposed by Ali Local Life in October 2019. In the future, the combination of new retail and local life services to realize online digital operation is an inevitable trend. Connecting Ele.me local life services to Alipay digital life open API will also open a new pattern of industry competition and once again stabilize the moat of Ali and Ele.me in local life services.

For Ele.me, it can be said that the epidemic has accelerated its pace of digital upgrading in the local service industry, and Ele.me’s upgraded "new service" will also be a new journey on a new track, and it will also create differentiated competitive barriers.

For example, after Eli.me "enters the Tao", it will open the Tmall flagship store, the Mini Program in the Alipay ecosystem, and the offline scan Mini Program of merchants, as well as multiple marketing ports such as word-of-mouth and Ele.me platform stores.

At the same time, the membership system and digital marketing system have also achieved multi-segment synchronization, making the efficiency of merchant marketing more three-dimensional and diverse. Whether it is through Tmall or private domain traffic, it can be reached at any time.

Wang Lei said: "So this upgrade, from another perspective, is also a start." Despite this, but backed by the big tree of Ali, Ele.me’s pace of entering digitalization is very stable and unusually firm.

conclusion

The disastrous year 2020 is coming to an end, an epidemic has changed people’s way of life and changed people’s various concepts. Ele.me’s homeopathic and rapid change has really shown people the power of a company with a sense of mission and responsibility to embrace change.

We believe that Ele.me will continue to serve as an industry leader in the local life service industry after repositioning its strategy and upgrading the dimensions and heights of its platform services. Together with Alibaba, we will also make a comeback for local life services.

　　China News Service, February 14, Japan’s Oriental New Daily published an article saying that "brother" – a profession that is usually difficult for foreigners to enter in the eyes of ordinary people, has opened the door to foreigners in Tokyo. Recently, Japan’s Yamate Group, which has a taxi business, has extended an olive branch to foreigners who want to be "brother" in Japan. Aiming at the upcoming Tokyo Olympics in 2020, Yamate Group is on full fire in recruiting taxi drivers. Among them, Chinese drivers have high hopes.

　　The article is excerpted as follows:

　　In 2018, the number of Chinese tourists visiting Japan hit a record high of 8.38 million, and with the call of "buying" and "breaking snow (snow) ", a large number of Chinese tourists flocked to the streets of Japan. Not only that, but the number of Chinese living in Tokyo and the surrounding "bed town" (bed town) is also increasing.

　　It is in order to provide more comfortable and convenient taxi services to the growing number of Chinese customers that Yamate Group, which has about 600 taxis, has developed a plan to recruit Chinese taxi drivers.

　　In order to become a taxi driver in Japan, in addition to a regular driver’s license, you must also obtain a second type of driver’s license with operating qualifications. Before you can start your job, you must also pass a test on service specifications and geographical knowledge. It is precisely because of this high threshold that Japanese taxi companies rarely recruit drivers to foreigners. In response to these difficulties, Yamate Group provides a comprehensive training system and training program for Chinese drivers.

　　The company assists applicants to obtain a second type of driver’s license and bears the relevant expenses. During the training period, it not only helps new drivers to familiarize themselves with the geographical location, but also cultivates drivers’ professional skills in sightseeing, tourism, elderly rehabilitation and other aspects. And establish an incubation program to help prospective drivers obtain professional qualifications in related industries.

　　In addition to professional qualification exams, differences in language and culture are also tests that foreigners have to endure in their daily contact with a variety of passengers. Yamate Group also uses its language schools to provide Japanese language and Japanese culture assistance and guidance to Chinese drivers.

　　Because taxi drivers are often on a step-by-step (commission) system, in a Japanese society that believes in "merit sequence", they often give the impression of unstable income. To dispel the public’s stereotype of taxi drivers, the taxi industry has been working hard by raising wages, making pay transparent, and providing employees with opportunities to rise.

　　In order to reduce the pressure of new drivers and eliminate the sense of resistance in the industry, Yamate Group provides new drivers with a minimum wage guarantee system of 10 months, 270,000 yen (about 16,000 yuan) per month and three months of free accommodation to help newcomers get through the initial entry stage.

　　And for those "veteran drivers" who have already obtained the qualification of operation, Yamate Group even offers a reward of 500,000 yen to attract talents to join.

　　The "thirst for talent" of Japanese companies is inseparable from the general environment of Japanese society.

　　On September 7, 2013, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the International Olympic Committee announced that Tokyo, Japan, would host the 2020 Summer Olympic Games. The news made the whole country boil, and the Japanese government took this opportunity to establish the "Tourism Nation" strategy as an important pillar of its economic policy. As an important pillar of its economic policy, it proposed to attract foreign tourists 40 million in 2020 and achieve the goal of 8 trillion yen in tourism consumption.

　　According to the data released by the Japanese Government Tourism Bureau, the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan has increased every year. Compared with the 6.22 million of the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan has reached 31 million in 2018, which has increased by about 5 times. According to the data released by the Japanese Ministry of Finance, the surplus of Japan’s tourism revenue and expenditure in the first half of 2018 was as high as 1.2642 trillion yen (about 70 billion yuan). It is foreseeable that tourism revenue will greatly affect the direction of Japan’s economy.

　　This is accompanied by a huge tourism market. In 2018, the consumption of foreign tourists visiting Japan is estimated to reach 4.5064 trillion yen (about 280 billion yuan), setting a record high. Whether it is the number of tourists or the amount of consumption, the contribution of Chinese mainland is firmly ranked first. Last year, the number of Chinese mainland tourists visiting Japan 8.38 million increased by 13.9% year-on-year, breaking the 8 million mark for the first time; Chinese mainland tourists spent as much as 1.537 trillion yen (about 95.167 billion yuan) in Japan, accounting for more than one-third of the total consumption of foreigners in Japan.

　　In the face of the strong spending power of Chinese tourists, Japanese companies are also racking their brains to get a piece of the cake. As an indispensable part of the bridge of communication, those who understand the needs of Chinese customers and are familiar with Japanese society are forced to cut the needs of the job market.

　　In addition, the huge gap created by the severe shortage of labor force has also made Japanese society look more towards foreign workers.

　　According to the latest forecast by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Japan’s labor force will decline by as much as 22% from 65.30 million in 2017 to 52.50 million in 2040. If urgent measures are not taken, Japanese society will face the dilemma of reducing the labor force by nearly 13 million in the next 20 years.

　　The shortage of labor is not just a fantasy of the future. According to Japanese media reports, 45 Japanese companies declared bankruptcy in August 2018 due to a shortage of manpower, a record high. Statistics released by the Imperial Japan Database Room also show that 45.4% of Japanese companies surveyed have a shortage of manpower.

　　The grim labor force projections have also prompted Japanese companies to step up their calls for society to accept more foreign workers and immigrants.

　　Despite some reluctance, the Japanese government has also had to take a more open attitude towards immigration. On December 8, 2018, the Japanese Diet Senate voted in opposition to the "Exit Management and Refugee Recognition Law", which was dubbed by the Japanese media as the "Expansion of Foreign Talents Act". The bill aims to introduce more foreign workers and solve the labor shortage problem caused by Japan’s declining birthrate and aging population.

　　The entry into force of the new law allows the Japanese government to establish two new "residence permits" (residence permits) to accept more foreign workers. According to the plan, the new system will be implemented on April 1, 2019, and it is planned to introduce more than 340,000 foreign workers to 14 industries, including agriculture and elderly care, within five years.

　　Perhaps in the near future, it will be commonplace to see foreign laborers busy in every scene of Japanese life.

　　Zong Qinghou: Nearly 200 proposals for 15 years of re-election to the National People’s Congress

　　CCTV News:Zong Qinghou, a deputy to the National People’s Congress and chairperson and general manager of Hangzhou Wahaha Group, has been re-elected as a deputy to the National People’s Congress for three terms since 2003. 2017 is his fifteenth year in office. In the past 15 years, he has submitted nearly 200 proposals and suggestions to the 10th, 11th and 12th National People’s Congress, about 260,000 words, with an average of 13 pieces per year. The content involves politics, economy, people’s livelihood, agriculture, rural areas, laws and regulations, real estate and other aspects.

　　Reporter:First, why write this suggestion from so many angles? Also, what time do you have to write this suggestion?

　　Zong Qinghou:It should be said that I have more than 80 bases across the country, located in various provinces across the country. Second, I often do market research and have extensive contact with all walks of life. Because I am also an ordinary person, people sometimes tell me, so I know more about all aspects.

　　Reporter:For example, in your proposal this year, I saw one. Governments at all levels need to improve their execution and deepen reform. Let’s take this as an example. Is this your own feeling, or is it a common feeling after you have run your project, or after communicating with more people?

　　Zong Qinghou:This is my own feeling, and of course I have also come into contact with other people. Because many of the policies of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, whether they are reform measures or not, are undoubtedly very wise and correct, and they are indeed aimed at making our country’s economic development better. Sometimes it is true that many of the policies of the central government are very good, but when it comes to the bottom, there will be no interest. For example, I have not been mentioning it to young people, because the housing prices are too expensive now, and they cannot afford to buy houses, so they cannot live and work in peace and contentment. Later, the State Council issued a document that could give some young people rent subsidies, but I don’t think local governments have implemented it.

　　Reporter:You think it’s necessary to write.

　　Zong Qinghou:The executive power of governments at all levels requires that employees at the bottom of enterprises also improve their executive power. The same is true for enterprises and governments, and the government also needs to improve its executive power.

　　Reporter:For example, the words you used just now, the original intention of this country is good, but there are some local governments that do not implement them effectively. Although these words are objective, are you afraid that saying them will offend people?

　　Zong Qinghou:It should be said that I am a business owner, operating according to the law and paying taxes, and I have no braids to be caught, so I am not afraid of what others will do. Since you are the representative of the people, you should say what the people want to say.

　　National People’s Congress deputies must be brave, outspoken, and kind

　　In Mr. Zong’s view, as a delegate to the National People’s Congress, one must be bold, outspoken and kind. The principle is to "dare to speak the truth and reflect the truth." This year, he submitted 14 various proposals to the National People’s Congress.

　　Reporter:For example, this year, I read your suggestions, one of which is about checking the use of administrative fees by governments at all levels. Why?

　　Zong Qinghou:It is often said that corporate taxes and fees are relatively heavy. Some leaders say that you often say that taxes and fees are heavy, and how much fees are charged? No one is clear. Later, I asked my finance department to go through our charges, so at that time, there were more than 500 charges. In 2016, it was reduced a little, by 200 items, but there were still more than 300 items. The Ministry of Finance later sent people to all my branches to check the accounts. After checking, he said that more than 100 inspection fees were combined into one item, so it became more than 200 items. He may be under a lot of pressure, but he doesn’t need that much pressure. The Ministry of Finance doesn’t ask you to collect the fees. Every department has no money to use, so they send a notice to collect it. But what is the use of this money? It should be said that there is no budget report. And I found that there is also a phenomenon that temporary workers are hired in many departments. Your money is allocated by the finance department.

　　In March 2003, Zong Qinghou attended the first session of the 10th National People’s Congress for the first time as a delegate. At that time, as a new delegate, he put forward six suggestions, which only covered his own industry. Later, the scope of his proposals and suggestions became more and more extensive. Economic development, national economy and people’s livelihood are his key areas of concern.

　　Reporter:For example, you once said that the most important thing for an entrepreneur is to do a good job in their business, which is their greatest responsibility and their greatest contribution to society.

　　Zong Qinghou:But if you say that the policy of the whole country is not good and the development of the enterprise is not good, will the development of the country not be good? The enterprise should be the economic cell of our whole country, and all the cells are dead, so the body is also dead? So we entrepreneurs should not only do a good job in the enterprise, but also care about national affairs. When the leaders from above go to the bottom, they may not see and hear some actual situations. They tell the leaders what is good, and let the leaders see what is good. Our reform and opening up country has indeed achieved good development and made good progress, but after all, there are still problems that have not been solved. We should let the leaders know these things.

　　Build a beverage kingdom with 30 years, no financing or listing, because there is no shortage of money

　　Mr. Zong, 72, was born in Hangzhou. After graduating from high school, he worked for 15 years in Zhoushan Salt Field and Shaoxing Tea Factory in Zhejiang Province. In 1979, his mother, a primary school teacher, retired and he took over as a primary school janitor. In 1987, at the age of 42, he started his business. He then spent 30 years building a beverage empire. But in the process of enterprise development, Zong Qinghou has insisted on not financing and not going public, which is somewhat out of line with the current popular practice.

　　Reporter:But now many companies will immediately raise funds and go public as soon as they develop. Why don’t you do this?

　　Zong Qinghou:Because there is no shortage of money in itself.

　　Reporter:Never been short of money?

　　Zong Qinghou:There is no shortage of money.

　　Reporter:I don’t believe it.

　　Zong Qinghou:You don’t believe it. You see that there is never a loan now, and there is always a large amount of deposits in the bank, but you manage your money in the bank instead of lending money to the bank.

　　Reporter:This is when you develop to a healthy operation, can you not go?

　　Zong Qinghou:I developed steadily from the outset.

　　Reporter:Never been short of money?

　　Zong Qinghou:There was no over-development, no shortage of money, you think about it, we were engaged in a joint venture at that time, I sold things first to collect money, bought raw materials, I pay at the end of the month, at the end of my payment, I have already made money, so I don’t need liquidity, but this depends on reputation, you promise to pay people on time, he will rest assured that people put money with you, and I also pay him interest, which is higher than his bank loan interest, so I guarantee that I have no bad debts.

　　Reporter:Even for such a large enterprise, the possibility of going public and raising funds is the modern way of doing business. Are you prepared to never do it, or will you do it someday?

　　Zong Qinghou:If there is a big investment, I may also go public, and I may also take out a loan, but there are no big investment projects now. Why should I take out a loan when I have enough money now? I will go public again. If I go public, I must generate benefits for shareholders. Otherwise, you will be scolded by others and make up stories to deceive the people’s money. It is not easy for the people to earn money.

　　"You don’t have wealth, how can you enjoy it?"

　　In recent years, despite the surging Internet economy, Zong Qinghou has remained unmoved, single-mindedly managing his beverage kingdom and becoming a representative figure of the real economy.

　　Reporter:You told the reporter yourself that I sold a bottle of water and a bottle of water. But now what? We see some, he can have great wealth overnight, several nights, with a story. What do you think of such wealth?

　　Zong Qinghou:He came and went quickly. I think it’s better to be down-to-earth and engage in some industry, because the real economy is an economy that creates wealth. You see at the end of the Qing Dynasty, our GDP was also the largest in the world, but what was his GDP? It was silk, porcelain, tea, etc. You closed your country and lost the opportunity for the Industrial Revolution. After the foreign guns and foreign guns were built, the 38,000-nation coalition army beat you and fled, which made us go through a long period of time, a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society, and we were bullied by others.

　　Reporter:So what do you think this history shows?

　　Zong Qinghou:What it means is that you must develop the real economy and our manufacturing industry. Your manufacturing industry is advanced, and we have advanced weapons. Who would dare to beat us? So at that time, we proposed to save the country through industry. Now I think we need to be a strong industrial country. Although we have become the second largest economy through reform and opening up over the years, and we have also become an economic power and a manufacturing power, you are not a strong country. We don’t have many advanced things yet, and we don’t have many core technologies either.

　　Reporter:This is how you look at this from the perspective of doing business. But do you feel that the moment we live in, the society we live in seems to be…

　　Zong Qinghou:Too impatient.

　　Reporter:Everyone is more envious of the way to get rich quickly and quickly, but everyone knows that planting crops requires a process and must wait for it to mature naturally. What do you think of this kind of entrepreneurship?

　　Zong Qinghou:In fact, I sometimes tell young people that when I say you start a business, you don’t have to be a boss to start a business. You can’t be a boss in the country of more than 1.3 billion. In the past, it was said that 360 lines, and you were the champion. Your employment is entrepreneurship, and being a good teacher is also entrepreneurship. Being a famous host is also entrepreneurship. Being a good doctor is also entrepreneurship. It doesn’t mean that a boss is entrepreneurship. This concept needs to be changed. In addition, I think young people, it is indeed good to talk about teachers. Education, including media and public opinion, is the same. It is necessary to form a good atmosphere.

　　Zong Qinghou does not hide his views. On many occasions, he has spoken bluntly about the concept of industrial prosperity, and at the same time put forward his own different views on some new economic forms.

　　Reporter:Maybe many people think that you are an outdated role model. Because although you have been doing it for 30 years, you have worked too hard and been too tired. Maybe if more young people today don’t see you as a role model, but more Internet entrepreneurs as role models, what do you think?

　　Zong Qinghou:It’s impossible for everyone to make money so easily. Everyone is relaxed, and when the time comes, everyone will not be easy, and if they don’t work hard to create wealth, there will be problems later. For example, if you like Europe, with high welfare and high taxes, after such a long time, you will not create wealth. Mainly because there are more people enjoying wealth and fewer people creating wealth, then there will be problems again.

　　Reporter:Would you rather be someone who enjoys wealth or someone who creates it?

　　Zong Qinghou:First of all, I think we should create wealth, and only by creating wealth can we enjoy wealth.

　　Reporter:Can’t it be turned upside down?

　　Zong Qinghou:It cannot be reversed. You have no wealth, how can you enjoy it?

　　Zong Qinghou: The first thing to do in an enterprise is to be diligent, and the second is not to be mercenary

　　For a long time, Wahaha’s internal management mechanism has also been famous in the industry. For a long time, Wahaha Group had only one chairperson and one general manager, and Zong Qinghou himself served as the chairperson. The group did not have a deputy general manager, and the management of various fields such as production and sales was handled by various ministers. This almost difficult-to-replicate mechanism has left many people wondering how Wahaha would have developed without Zong Qinghou when Zong Qinghou would have retired from management.

　　Reporter:If you use a hundred years to measure an enterprise, you are firmly in control of the previous period and the first half. If you want to reach the goal of a hundred years, what should you do in the second half?

　　Zong Qinghou:I think I can manage it for 50 years. I think my lifespan is still relatively long, and my health is relatively good. In the next 20 years, I hope to gradually institutionalize it and do it well in all aspects. In the future, people will know how to do it. This way, this enterprise may enjoy a long life.

　　Reporter:We still need a system.

　　Zong Qinghou:System.

　　Reporter:Why didn’t you consider this issue earlier?

　　Zong Qinghou:I used to have it too. At that time, I was personally catching it, but now I want them to divide their labor and let them catch it, so that they actually know how to catch it. Therefore, I have now appointed two vice presidents, and I am also cultivating them, gradually and gradually training the management, because in the end, it is still the management who manages this. Professional managers manage enterprises, and China will definitely come to this step, but now we Chinese professional managers, this group has not yet formed, so many of us young people should go to enterprises to train as professional managers.

　　Entrepreneurs are the main force of economic development, so for many years, Zong Qinghou has not been far from the media spotlight. And Zong Qinghou believes that under the spotlight, entrepreneurs should pay more attention to social responsibility. For the young entrepreneurs in the current entrepreneurial wave, Zong Qinghou also has something to say.

　　Reporter:Do you think there are some constant entrepreneurs and some qualities that entrepreneurs should have? No matter how the times change, they should be firmly adhered to?

　　Zong Qinghou:Entrepreneurs first diligence is the most important. If you don’t work hard, how can you achieve success?

　　Reporter:Diligence comes first. What else?

　　Zong Qinghou:The other second is that you want to create wealth for the public, not for profit.

　　Reporter:From your perspective today, you can think that I am creating wealth for the general public, but for many fledgling entrepreneurs, it is not about creating wealth for themselves.

　　Zong Qinghou:Indeed, there is a process. At first, you strive for your own survival. After a certain degree, when your own survival is no problem, then you have to create wealth for society and make contributions to society.

　　Reporter:This is the only way.

　　Zong Qinghou:The only way to go is through a process.

　　Reporter:As an old entrepreneur, as a successful entrepreneur, if you give these young entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs who are just starting out, what advice would you give them from the older generation to the younger generation?

　　Zong Qinghou:I think one is to have a good mindset first.

　　Reporter:What is a good mindset?

　　Zong Qinghou:Some money is something you can earn, some things you can achieve through hard work, and some things you don’t want to start at once and never achieve.

　　Reporter:I don’t quite understand.

　　Zong Qinghou:In the process of starting a business, sometimes you can’t be too ambitious and think too well. In fact, you just need to be down-to-earth and take it step by step. When I started my business, I was helping people dropship popsicles and ice cream, and I didn’t expect to be the largest beverage company. You have to improve your goals step by step and develop step by step.

　　Reporter:If you start with this goal, chances are you won’t be able to achieve it.

　　Zong Qinghou:Maybe it’s over.

　　Reporter:Is this the only sentence, or is there more to these young people?

　　Zong Qinghou:Sure, your entrepreneurial process will encounter many difficulties. The key is that you have to persevere and go on, but you can’t help but correct it. If you feel that this path is not going to work, you have to reconsider this. How to go down the road behind, you can’t go dark one way. Second, if you encounter difficulties, you can’t be downcast and don’t want to do it, then you will never be able to do things.

　　"Having wealth and having others respect wealth are two different things"

　　As an older generation of entrepreneurs, Zong Qinghou rarely talks about various concepts that are popular at the moment. He does not have bodyguards or is surrounded by people, and he rarely has famous brands all over his body. For a long time, he lived in an ordinary residential area with little entertainment and leisure. Even if he was over 70, he often worked fifteen or six hours. When it comes to wealth, this entrepreneur who started by selling popsicles has a more calm attitude than the average person.

　　Zong Qinghou:When I was young, I was probably poorer than you, poorer than the average person. I lived in the countryside for fifteen years, and I didn’t have enough food or warm clothes, so I should have been created by ordinary people through hard work and entrepreneurship, but I should still develop the habit of thrift. Generally speaking, I am still wealthy, but I think this money is still social. How much can I use? I still classify myself as the life of ordinary people. You see, I don’t wear any luxury goods. I have not participated in some of their things, and I still can’t play golf or say what they want to do. I didn’t participate.

　　Reporter:Do you not like it from the bottom of your heart, or do you like it too but don’t have the time?

　　Zong Qinghou:It should be said that I don’t like it either, because I’m busy with work every day now, and I haven’t had this idea since I was a child.

　　Reporter:No. What sort of idea?

　　Zong Qinghou:There is no thought of enjoying this life either.

　　At the end of 2016, a photo of Zong Qinghou taking a second-class high-speed rail ride caused heated debate in the community.

　　Reporter:Many people think that if you don’t take the business seat, you should at least take the first-class seat, so why don’t you take it? Do you have to take this second-class seat?

　　Zong Qinghou:It’s not because I have to take a second-class seat, because I couldn’t buy a ticket that day, and a second-class seat is a second-class seat, and it doesn’t matter to me anyway.

　　Reporter:Don’t you think there is a difference between this?

　　Zong Qinghou:I don’t think there’s a difference. I don’t think that’s right.

　　Reporter:Which view is wrong?

　　Zong Qinghou:It doesn’t necessarily mean that rich people have to fly business class.

　　Reporter:What’s the money you make?

　　Zong Qinghou:Money only reflects your value. You have to enjoy it, and you can’t enjoy it all.

　　Reporter:What is enjoyment for you? What is enjoyment?

　　Zong Qinghou:Enjoy I feel that things are done successfully, that is, enjoy, and be happier.

　　Reporter:Still can’t live without work.

　　Zong Qinghou:That’s right.

　　Reporter:What about life?

　　Zong Qinghou:It’s nothing in life, I eat in the cafeteria. Maybe I have an iPad next to me when I eat, which is a little easier.

　　Reporter:What is your ideal living situation?

　　Zong Qinghou:Now I don’t think about any ideal or unideal living conditions. I feel that I can feel better.

　　Reporter:What are your standards?

　　Zong Qinghou:Make the people more satisfied with your business, more respect you, respect your wealth. It’s not that easy to do this.

　　Reporter:Having wealth and having others respect wealth are two different things.

　　Zong Qinghou:Yes.

　　Reporter:What do you think is the difference?

　　Zong Qinghou:If you have wealth, help others to become wealthy together, so that they will respect you. If you don’t help others with wealth, they may be jealous of you. If you help others become wealthy, he will definitely respect you.

The mobile phone circle ushered in a new heat, the daily economic coverage said that the Huawei P60 series has been put into mass production, and dealers have implemented large-scale orders for the Huawei P60 series, which shows that the Huawei P60 series has entered the "military has not arrived, food and grass first" stage.

At present, there are also a lot of leaks about the P series periphery and MIIT network access diagrams all over the network… If there are no surprises, the Huawei P60 series is about to meet with consumers and inject new vitality into the mobile phone market.

As the P series, which belongs to Huawei’s right-hand side with the Mate series, it has always been well received and loved by many consumers. Moreover, in the six months since Huawei Mate 50 series was launched, consumers have continuously praised its comprehensive strength, which naturally makes Huawei confident about the upcoming P60 series.

It is worth mentioning that He Gang, chief operating officer of Huawei’s end point BG, posted a photo of the new phone in his Moments. Most people speculate that this new phone is the new flagship phone of Huawei’s P series. From the surface, it can be seen that the imaging effect of this new machine is very good, and the overall picture is pure and not lost. Comments say that the P60 may surprise consumers again with its breakthrough in imaging capabilities. These news all indicate that the Huawei P60 series is really coming.

The P series has always been as important as the Mate series in the hearts of Huawei and Pollen, and in the eyes of young users, the P series can lead the new trend of technology and fashion aesthetics in the mobile phone industry every year.

In front of several generations of P series, there will be some fairy-level classic color scheme styles out of the circle, such as grass green, sky realm, aurora color, frost silver and other styles in the debut will make many users fall in love at first sight, obviously as the wave of Huawei P60 series, with great probability will easily come out of the circle with the latest aesthetic design.

In addition to the appearance has been particularly resistant, Huawei has always given the P series all its most advanced mobile imaging technology. It is not difficult to judge that the Huawei P60 series, on the basis of the new lens module, will also be adapted to Huawei XMAGE images, providing users with a "realistic, moist, transparent, and breathable" mobile phone shooting experience. You may wish to look forward to it.

In addition, every March and April is the peak period for major brands to release flagship mobile phones in the first half of the year. Since the Huawei P60 series is a top-tier flagship series, the overall hardware configuration naturally does not allow many friendly products. Users who need to change their phones can wait and see the performance of the P60 after its release. Choose the best among the best. After all, if you want to buy a large number of mobile phones, you must buy the best one.

From this, it can be seen that, based on the current online information about the Huawei P60 series, the series has only revealed basic information so far, and the core technological breakthroughs will definitely be announced at the press conference.

Since the current Huawei P60 series is on the horizon, and the official choice to showcase its strength in the context of the release of new machines in March has brought Huawei’s innovative technology in the mobile phone industry, which seems to prove that Huawei has full confidence in the P60 series.
