In 2024, the "new gambling game" between Lei Jun and Dong Mingzhu once again ushered in the acceptance moment.

　　Dong Mingzhu took another step forward in building cars.

　　Enterprise investigation shows that on October 11th, Shanghai Gree Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. was incorporated, and its legal representative is Zhong Chengbao. At present, he is the assistant to the president of Zhuhai () Co., Ltd. and the general manager of Zhuhai Gree Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd.. The company has a registered capital of 20 million yuan, and its business scope includes research and development of auto parts, manufacturing of auto parts and accessories, manufacturing of industrial robots, and sales of industrial robots.

　　According to the equity penetration chart, Shanghai Gree Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. is jointly owned by Shanghai Jieyingtu New Material Technology Co., Ltd. and Zhuhai Gree Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. under Gree Electric. This move is regarded by the market as Gree once again overweight the layout of new energy car tracks.

　　In 2016, after Dong Mingzhu personally held shares in Zhuhai Yinlong New Energy (hereinafter referred to as "Yinlong"), he began to formally set foot in the car-making business. Yinlong gradually became a holding subsidiary of Gree Electric, renamed Gree Titanium New Energy, and deeply cultivated the business technology of new energy buses and lithium titanate batteries. However, in the eight years since it was acquired by Dong Mingzhu, Yinlong’s performance began to decline in 2017. As of June 30, 2024, the total debt of Gree Titanium New Energy was 24.786 billion yuan. Dong Mingzhu, who makes cars across the border, has been filling the "pit" of Gree Titanium. "The pit has a process of filling, which I think is very promising." Dong Mingzhu had previously said.

　　As early as 2013, Dong Mingzhu and Lei Jun gambled on their operating income ten years later. In 2019, Dong Mingzhu shouted to Lei Jun: "Don’t want 1 billion yuan, gamble for another five years": bet on who can make the world really fall in love with China manufacturing because of their products and technology; Second, bet on who can become the world leader in his own industry. In 2024, the five-year "new gambling game" between Lei Jun and Dong Mingzhu once again ushered in the acceptance moment.

　　"Building a car is a century-old track." Lei Jun, who started to build cars across the border three years ago, believes. For Dong Mingzhu, who also has her own topic, Gree’s car-making business failed to have the positive blessing of traffic like Xiaomi’s, but Miss Dong was unwilling to let go easily.

　　Eight-year "Car Bureau": Input, Loss and Acquisition

　　Dong Mingzhu and Lei Jun’s billion-dollar bet continued from air conditioning to building cars. Xiaomi, who has been building cars for three years, has become a dark horse in China auto market this year, while Gree, who has been working on the car-building track for eight years, has not yet entered the harvest period.

　　As early as 2016, Dong Mingzhu had the idea of building a car, only one year later than today’s star new car company Ideal and Weilai. At that time, Dong Mingzhu wanted to buy 100% equity of Zhuhai Yinlong New Energy with 13 billion yuan, but failed to pass the collegial meeting of shareholders on November 16th. In Miss Dong’s view, small and medium-sized shareholders are "shortsighted", and she firmly believes that "although we didn’t succeed in the acquisition, we must be a new energy vehicle."

　　Less than a month later, Dong Mingzhu still "put all your eggs in one basket" and took a stake in Yinlong with his personal assets. At the same time, she also brought Dalian Wanda, Jiangsu JD.COM Bangneng Investment Management Co., Ltd., () and other enterprises to jointly increase the capital of Yinlong by 3 billion yuan.

　　At that time, some new car-making enterprises in the new energy vehicle market began to emerge, and traditional car companies such as Geely, BAIC, Jianghuai and Changan were all testing new energy sources. Why does Dong Mingzhu prefer Yinlong, which was established only eight years ago?

　　Yinlong once made a difference in the new energy bus track. In 2016, Yinlong’s business was mainly the manufacture of new energy buses and lithium batteries. On the track of commercial vehicles, there is a blessing for the development prospect of new energy vehicles, and Dong Mingzhu is firmly optimistic about the future value of Yinlong. In the next two years, Yinlong proved Dong Mingzhu’s vision with sales. In 2017, Yinlong New Energy Bus ranked fourth in the country with an annual sales volume of 6,626 vehicles; In 2018, its sales volume increased to 7,278 vehicles, second only to Yutong and (), ranking third.

　　But the blow followed. In January 2018, Yinlong was repeatedly exposed to arrears in supplier payment, and there was a problem in the capital chain. By November 2018, Yinlong exposed its "dirty laundry" and publicly disclosed that its major shareholder Yinlong Group, actual controller Wei Yincang and former executive Sun Guohua were suspected of encroaching on the company’s interests by over 1 billion yuan. In 2019, the sales volume of Yinlong New Energy Bus declined in a cliff-like manner, with the annual sales volume of only 2,708 vehicles, down 62.76% year-on-year. The following year, Yinlong began to lose money continuously, and even began to be auctioned by Zhuhai Intermediate People’s Court. By the end of 2020, Yinlong’s liabilities had exceeded 22.5 billion yuan.

　　Although "Yinlong became a hole", Dong Mingzhu still insisted on buying Yinlong. In August, 2021, Gree acquired 30.47% equity of Yinlong New Energy for 1.83 billion yuan through public bidding through judicial auction. In addition, 17.46% equity previously held by Dong Mingzhu was entrusted to Gree, and Yinlong officially became a holding subsidiary of Gree Electric, and was later renamed Gree Titanium New Energy (hereinafter referred to as "Gree Titanium").

　　Gree’s blood transfusion also failed to rejuvenate the sales of Gree Titanium. In 2022, Gree Titanium sold 1,789 buses, down 11.65% year-on-year. In the same year, the sales of new energy buses in (), Suzhou Jinlong and () ranked in the top three with 11,515, 5,306 and 5,032 respectively.

　　Dong Mingzhu said in March 2024 that she believed Gree Titanium New Energy could turn losses into profits that year. According to Gree’s mid-year report in 2024, as of June 30, 2024, Gree Titanium New Energy had a total debt of 24.786 billion yuan and a net loss of 1.905 billion yuan. However, according to Gree Electric’s financial report, the net profit of home appliance business can still cover the loss of car-making business, but the commercial vehicle track, lithium titanate battery and hydrogen fuel power battery technology bet by Gree Titanium have not yet entered the harvest period.

　　For entering the field of new energy vehicles, Dong Mingzhu has publicly stated that he has no regrets. The newly established Shanghai Gree Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. once again confirmed Dong Mingzhu’s determination.

　　"The pit has a process of filling up, and the dawn is ahead."

　　The road of building cars is a new way out for Gree by Dong Mingzhu. Gree has been seeking diversified development since 2012, which is also a strategy that Dong Mingzhu vigorously promoted when he took over Gree.

　　She is keenly aware that the era of high growth of household air conditioners is gradually coming to an end. According to the data, from 2010 to 2015, the year-on-year growth rate of Gree’s operating income gradually declined. Dong Mingzhu’s task is to lead Gree to find a new growth curve. To this end, she has tried mobile phones, small household appliances, new energy, medical care and even prepared vegetable tracks.

　　Dong Mingzhu started with car air conditioning business. After personally taking a stake in Yinlong, Dong Mingzhu said that Gree Electric had been studying automobile air conditioning three or four years ago and had fully mastered the technology of this product. In 2017-2018, Yinlong, which was in full swing, made Dong Mingzhu see the hope of Gree’s transformation, and also planned to enter the new energy car track vigorously in the future.

　　Dong Mingzhu attaches great importance to the layout of battery business. Except for the new energy bus business, Gree Titanium has always chosen lithium titanate as its own technical route. In the field of new energy vehicles, lithium carbonate and its derivative battery products, Ferrous lithium phosphate and ternary lithium battery, are widely used at present. Dong Mingzhu’s "safer" lithium titanate battery has low energy density, so its application space in domestic transportation field is relatively small. "We chose this project not to make money, but to do it because of future development needs." Dong Mingzhu has publicly stated.

　　However, Gree Titanium, which insists on the lithium titanate battery track, also shows signs of compromising to the market. Enterprise investigation shows that Gree Titanium is laying out lithium iron phosphate batteries. On June 11th, 2024, Gree Titanium applied for a patent named "Lithium iron phosphate battery and its preparation method". Although Gree Titanium, which went out to sea in the past two years, has gained a small number of foreign orders for energy storage business and new energy buses, its technical investment has not been realized enough.

　　In the upstream and downstream of the car-making industry, Gree also intends to lay out. In 2022, Gree Electric invested RMB 3 billion to hold () 410 million shares, accounting for 38.78% of the company’s total share capital after issuance. The latter is a leading enterprise in the refrigeration component industry, and the company’s main business is divided into two parts: refrigeration parts business and refrigeration equipment business, and thermal management business of new energy vehicles. In the field of auto parts, the main business of Gree Intelligent Equipment established in 2015 is to provide GA-GF2755 CNC machine tools for high-speed and high-precision machining of new energy auto parts. Gree Intelligent Equipment is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gree Electric, which once provided support for Tesla parts manufacturing.

　　Li Bin, CEO of Weilai, said "Don’t build a car without 20 billion yuan", which is also applicable here in Dong Mingzhu. Judging from Dong Mingzhu’s car-making actions, it is still the main means to make a car with the revenue of the parent company as the guarantee, and vigorously purchasing and widely distributing it. However, the most fundamental purpose of building a car is to sell cars. Without new business income, Gree Titanium has also become the only loss source of Gree Group, and surviving is the top priority.

　　In terms of financing, Gree Titanium has no other sources of funds except the support of Gree Electric and Dong Mingzhu. According to the announcement, in December, 2023, Gree Electric announced that Gree Electric further increased its shareholding in Gree Titanium to 72.47%, and planned to wholly hold Gree Titanium in the future. Enterprise investigation shows that except for Gree’s increase in holdings, Gree Titanium has not gained any financing in the past five years.

　　It’s not too late for Dong Mingzhu to build a car, but when the industry took off, it failed to get dividends and gain market share. Instead, it gradually fell behind. "Gree Electric will not enter the field of new energy family cars for the time being." In February 2022, Dong Mingzhu said. The new energy bus track has never been the mainstream competition field of new energy. Limited by the demand for buses in the B-end market, it is unlikely that its market cake will become bigger. The report shows that the domestic new energy bus sales market will be around 40 billion yuan in 2022, and it is estimated that the market size will be 47 billion yuan by 2028.

　　The new energy bus industry leader appears, and its market share is further concentrated. According to the data of China Bus Statistics Information Network, in the first half of 2023, Yutong Bus ranked first in China, accounting for nearly 15% of the sales volume, followed by Foton Ouhui, BYD and Jinlong Bus, all of which accounted for more than 10% of the sales market. This also means that in the new energy bus track, Gree Titanium, which has not successfully run out of results, is under great pressure.

　　Consistent with Dong Mingzhu, in order to find new growth points, many home appliance industries are aiming at new energy vehicles. Midea and Haier, which have not officially built cars, also have automobile business layouts. () Through its subsidiary Weiling Auto Parts Company, it has officially entered the field of new energy auto parts. Haier Group focuses on using its industrial Internet platform and smart home technology to cooperate with car companies.

　　There are also many home appliances that directly enter the car. As early as 2010, Huang Hongsheng, the "king of color TV", has begun to lay out new energy commercial vehicles and passenger cars. In September this year, Skyworth Automobile, founded by Huang Hongsheng, announced that it would launch a modified model of its medium-sized SUV and the first A-class compact crossover product in 2025. According to the official data of Skyworth Automobile, the total sales volume in 2023 was 18,630 vehicles, with an average monthly sales volume of about 1,500 vehicles, while the monthly sales volume of zero-running vehicles in the same period was about 12,000 vehicles. On September 17th, this year, Sharp presented a conceptual model "LDK+" of an electric vehicle (EV) in Tokyo, Japan, and said that Sharp will officially launch the pure electric vehicle business.

　　Compared with peers, there is a certain gap in the performance of Gree Titanium. However, Dong Mingzhu is still optimistic. At the Gree shareholders’ meeting in June 2023, "there is a process of filling the pit, which I think is very promising." Dong Mingzhu said, "The dawn (of Gree Titanium) is ahead."

　　The knockout round of cross-border car-building has already started. When will the stones invested by Dong Mingzhu stir up water?

According to the latest data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the current vegetable field area in China is 94.35 million mu, an increase of 1.84 million mu year-on-year; In the first ten days of October, the output was 24.09 million tons, an increase of 710,000 tons. The national "vegetable basket" has stable production, sufficient supply and stable market.

"transporting western fruits to the east and southern vegetables to the north" enriches people’s dining tables

This is the largest vegetable market in East China — — Nanjing Agricultural and Sideline Products Logistics Center, with 30,000 trucks entering and leaving every day and 50,000 passengers every day, trades over 100,000 kinds of products every day, and the annual trading volume exceeds 11 million tons. Walking into the trading area with an area of tens of thousands of square meters here, it feels like entering a world of vegetables, with all kinds of fresh and exotic vegetables.

In the guest area of the market, more than 200 kinds of plateau dishes and inland dishes are gathered. These vegetables from other places are all transported over long distances.

Zhang Yuli, Market Manager of Nanjing Agricultural and Sideline Products Logistics CenterWe put the goods in the cold storage after they are delivered from farmers, and there is a cold chain in the process of transportation.

Sun Qinlong, Director of Guest Cuisine Department 2 of Zhongcai Vegetable Market, Nanjing Agricultural and Sideline Products Logistics CenterAll the way down at high speed, it will take nearly 2 hours to load, unload and set it up, and immediately go to the table of our people.

At the time of the interview, there were plateau dishes that were transported from other places and kept entering the market. As an important node of "transporting western fruits to the east and southern vegetables to the north", the cargo throughput of Nanjing agricultural and sideline products logistics center can reach about 30 thousand tons a day, and like these market merchants, they handle several thousand kilograms of vegetables every day.

Facility vegetables take the lead in vegetable greenhouses and become "green workshops"

There are more and more varieties of vegetables in the market, which are not only closely related to convenient logistics and transportation, but also closely related to the development of protected agriculture in China, especially protected vegetables. According to the data of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, at present, the output of protected vegetables in China accounts for 30% of the total main material, which has become an indispensable part of vegetable production and supply.

Protected vegetables refer to vegetables that are grown by artificial technical means to change the natural temperature conditions. Common facilities include greenhouses and greenhouses. According to the data of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, nearly 30 kinds of vegetables, including cucumbers, tomatoes and eggplants, have basically achieved annual production by manual methods.

Shouguang, Shandong, one of the important vegetable planting bases in China, has a vegetable planting area of 600,000 mu, and the proportion of protected vegetables has reached 95%. In the vegetable greenhouse of Cui Xinzhong, a villager in Daotian Town, Shouguang City, nearly 10 kinds of smart equipment including intelligent ventilator and intelligent plant protection machine were installed.

Cui Xinzhong, a villager from Cuilingxi Village, Daotian Town, Shouguang City, Shandong ProvinceLike my greenhouse, I can control it with a mobile phone. I turn on the fill light, and there is a newly installed intelligent cruise plant protection machine.

Now, Shouguang has completed and put into use 18 intelligent parks covering an area of 23,000 mu, all of which cover new technologies such as large-scale water and fertilizer integrated machine, intelligent temperature control and automatic light supplement. At the same time, more than 50,000 greenhouses have applied Internet of Things equipment, and vegetable greenhouses have become "green workshops".

Sang Yingbin, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Daotian Town, Shouguang City, Shandong ProvinceCompared with the traditional solar greenhouse, the integrated application of advanced facility agricultural equipment can improve the land utilization rate by more than 30% and the production efficiency by more than 50%.

In addition to Shouguang, Shandong, at present, China has gradually formed five major facilities vegetable producing areas: Huanghuaihai, Bohai Rim, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Northwest China, Northeast China and South China.

In Lingwu, Ningxia, the total planting area of local vegetables reached 61,800 mu, including 38,400 mu of protected vegetables. Due to the large temperature difference between day and night and sufficient sunlight, it provided unique conditions for the growth of cold vegetables.

Ma Ping, a villager in Xingwang Village, Lingwu County, is picking ripe tomatoes in her greenhouse. Tomatoes grown in the sand are juicy and juicy, which are deeply loved by consumers.

"Plant Factory": Let the vegetables reach the best growth state.

With the continuous development of modern facility agriculture, an efficient planting method "plant factory" has come, which does not need soil and sunlight. Follow the reporter to see the magical plant factory.

Before entering this plant factory in Beijing, the staff have to put on clean work clothes and go through the air shower room for disinfection. These processes are all to ensure that vegetables are protected from pests and diseases and can grow in a clean environment.

Wu Zhongsheng, head of a plant factoryFor example, including its illumination, humidity, temperature, carbon dioxide concentration, irrigation time, etc., these parameters are all controlled by computers, which are all tailored to plants and create the most suitable growth environment for plants.

Here, the roots of vegetables are not soil, but only water. There are not only various nutrients specially prepared in the water, but also good dissolved oxygen, and the water temperature can be adjusted according to the growth of plants, which not only provides the best growth conditions for vegetables, but also saves the water consumption needed for their growth.

Wu Zhongsheng, head of a plant factoryWe need about 500 ml of nutrient solution to produce a vegetable. The nutrient solution is self-circulating and has no external discharge.

In Henan, a 50-acre carbon-rich vegetable factory, nearly 17,000 tomatoes will ripen every seven days. Unlike ordinary field tomatoes, these tomatoes do not need any soil to grow, and the carbon dioxide emitted by thermal power plants is its "three meals a day".

Wang Xiaoqing, Head of Carbon-rich Vegetable Factory in Huixian County, Henan ProvinceOur vegetable factory is located next to the power plant, and the carbon dioxide generated by the power plant is delivered to our tomatoes, so that tomatoes can not only eat light and heat, but also eat gas fertilizer (carbon dioxide).

In this fully automatic plant factory in Pinghu, Zhejiang Province, LED lights are equipped here to simulate various spectra needed by plants, and specific spectra are turned on for special crops, so that vegetables can achieve an optimal growth state to ensure yield and quality.

Xue Longjiang, Deputy Director of Development Department of State Grid Pinghu Power Supply CompanyMicro-grid contains a micro-interactive system of hydrogen energy, and at the same time, it is equipped with some distributed photovoltaics, which can not only generate electricity continuously, but also provide usable heat energy.

The magic of the plant factory is that it presses the "fast forward button" for crop growth. Because the environment is closed and controllable, it is less affected by the natural environment and can be planted continuously in one year. Such a football field can produce 300 tons of vegetables every year, which is dozens of times more than the output of traditional vegetable fields in the same area.

Developing Facility Agriculture and Promoting Diversified Food Supply

Agriculture is the "ballast stone" to stabilize the economy and society. Developing facility agriculture is one of the important ways to build a strong agricultural country and achieve high-quality agricultural development. Establishing a big food concept and developing facility agriculture according to local conditions can promote the change of food supply from single production to multiple supply, and better meet the escalating consumer demand of agricultural products.

Explanation of "Proposal of Hainan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the 14th Five-year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the Long-term Target for 2035 (Discussion Draft)"
(December 3, 2020)
Shen Xiaoming

Comrades:

Entrusted by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, I made an explanation to the plenary session on the drafting of the Proposal of Hainan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the 14th Five-year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the Long-term Target for the Year 2035 (discussion draft) (hereinafter referred to as the Proposal Draft).

I. Drafting process of proposal draft

The "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" period is the first five years for China to build a well-off society in an all-round way and realize the first century-long struggle goal, and it is also the key five years for our province to build a free trade port with China characteristics with high quality and high standards. The provincial party committee regards the preparation of the 14th Five-Year Plan as a major political task this year, and takes it as an important premise to learn and understand the spirit of the series of important speeches and important instructions made by the Supreme Leader General Secretary on the preparation of the 14th Five-Year Plan and on Hainan’s work. On September 27th, the fourth (enlarged) meeting of the Financial and Economic Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the meeting of the drafting group of the "14th Five-Year Plan" of the Provincial Party Committee were held to study the important speeches made by the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader at five symposiums, including entrepreneurs, grassroots representatives and experts in the economic and social fields, and the important guiding spirit of the online consultation activities for the "14th Five-Year Plan". On October 30th and 31st, the Standing Committee (enlarged) meeting of the provincial party committee and the special study meeting of the provincial party committee were held respectively to convey and implement the important speech of the Supreme Leader General Secretary and the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, and effectively unify thoughts and actions with the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee.

The drafting of the proposal was carried out under the direct leadership of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. As early as April 22nd, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee deliberated and adopted the Basic Ideas of the 14th Five-Year Plan of Hainan Province. On July 20th, the provincial party committee set up the drafting group of the "14th Five-Year Plan" to strengthen the organization and leadership of the drafting of the planning proposal. During the period, the provincial party committee made many special studies, and relevant provincial leaders also hosted special planning symposiums in different categories.

In the process of drafting the proposal, we always keep in mind the spirit of the important speech and important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on the preparation of the 14 th Five-Year Plan, persist in promoting democracy, open the door to ask questions and brainstorm ideas, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all sectors of society to participate in the preparation of planning proposals. From late August to mid-September, the responsible comrades of the provincial party committee held special symposiums to listen to the opinions and suggestions of provincial veteran cadres, party representatives, deputies to the National People’s Congress, CPPCC members, democratic parties and personages without party affiliation, entrepreneurs and experts and scholars. From late July to early September, the drafting group went deep into cities and counties and Yangpu Economic Development Zone to carry out research, and conducted online consultation activities on the preparation of the 14 th Five-Year Plan on Hainan Daily Client, Nanhai Net and Hainan Learning Platform, a "learning power", and widely listened to opinions and suggestions from all sides. On September 27th, a meeting of the drafting group of the "14th Five-Year Plan" was held to listen to the opinions of the members of the four leading bodies and the drafting group. On October 9th, we solicited opinions from the party committees of cities and counties, 82 provincial party committees, relevant departments of provincial state organs, relevant people’s organizations, and party groups (party committees) of relevant central units stationed in Qionglai. After the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, it was further revised in the light of the central "14th Five-Year Plan" proposal. During the drafting period, I solicited opinions from provincial leaders such as the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee twice. After summarizing, there were 1314 revised opinions from all sides, and the drafting group carefully sorted out, analyzed one by one and deliberated repeatedly, and absorbed and adopted 996 opinions, with an adoption rate of 75.8%.

Judging from the feedback from soliciting opinions, everyone thinks that the main theme of the proposal draft is clear and prominent, the goal is ambitious and pragmatic, and the task deployment direction is clear, which provides an important basis for compiling the Outline of the 14 th Five-Year Plan. Everyone also fully affirmed the achievements made in the economic and social development of our province during the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan period. They believed that the past five years were the five years with the highest morale, the most energetic and the most outstanding achievements in the whole province, and the five years with the greatest efforts, the most achievements and the most obvious results in comprehensively deepening reform and opening up. In particular, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the "Overall Plan for the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port" (hereinafter referred to as the "Overall Plan"), which endowed Hainan with new major responsibilities and missions for reform and opening up, and Hainan ushered in a once-in-a-lifetime historical opportunity; The policy effects such as duty-free shopping on outlying islands and visa-free landing have been continuously enlarged, 11 key parks have been listed simultaneously, and the free trade port policy dividend has been continuously released; The modern industrial system supported by the three leading industries has been accelerated, and the proportion of service industry has increased from 54% to more than 60%, and the high-quality economic development has taken solid steps; Decisive victory was achieved in tackling poverty, with 600 poverty-stricken villages listed, and 649,700 poverty-stricken people who set up files and set up cards were all lifted out of poverty; The provincial "multi-regulation integration" reform has achieved remarkable results; "Five networks" infrastructure upgrading, etc. It is believed that these achievements are the result of the correct leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, the result of the concerted efforts of Party organizations at all levels in the province, all party member and people of all ethnic groups, and have laid a solid foundation for building a free trade port with high quality and high standards.

In the process of soliciting opinions, various parties put forward many good opinions and suggestions, mainly in the following ten aspects. First, further emancipate the mind, boldly reform and innovate, encourage cadres to take responsibility, and live up to the ardent expectations of the CPC Central Committee and the Supreme Leader General Secretary for Hainan; Second, under the background of free trade port construction, the economic growth rate should be faster during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period; Third, pay close attention to the implementation of the first-stage key tasks identified in the "Overall Plan" and start the island-wide customs clearance operation as soon as possible; The fourth is to closely follow the theme of high-quality development, grasp the connotation of the new development pattern, and reflect Hainan’s responsibility; Fifth, the proportion of modern service industry should be further improved, and a number of 100-billion-level and a number of 10-billion-level parks should be built to cultivate the parks into "locomotives" for the construction of free trade ports; Sixth, benchmark Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other advanced regions to create a first-class business environment; Seventh, adhere to the priority development of agriculture and rural areas, and realize the effective connection between consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization; Eighth, adhere to the concept of system, and further promote "a game of chess in the whole province and the urbanization of the whole island"; The ninth is to build a high-level national ecological civilization experimental zone to promote a comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development; Tenth, adhere to the people-centered, and solve the people’s livelihood issues such as prices, education and medical care that people are generally concerned about.

On November 18th, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee held a special meeting to consider the draft proposal. According to the opinions of the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, the drafting group revised the draft proposal again and formed a draft proposal submitted to this plenary session for consideration. It can be said that the proposal draft is the result of the provincial party Committee’s full development of democracy and cohesion, and it is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of all levels, departments and all walks of life in the province.

II. Main considerations and basic framework of the proposed draft

The overall consideration in drafting the proposal draft is to fully implement the series of important speeches and instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on Hainan’s work, the No.12 Document of the Central Committee and the spirit of the Overall Plan, thoroughly implement the decision-making arrangements made by the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, closely integrate the reality of Hainan, grasp the new development stage, adhere to the new development concept, build a new development pattern, and take on new responsibilities, show new actions and make new contributions with practical actions of building a free trade port with high quality and high standards. In the process of drafting the proposal, the following principles have been grasped: first, the combination of goal orientation and problem orientation; second, the combination of taking the current situation into account and giving consideration to the long term; third, the combination of comprehensive planning and highlighting key points; fourth, the combination of qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis; and fifth, the combination of giving full play to advantages and filling shortcomings to formulate a forward-looking, strategic and practical planning proposal.

The draft proposal consists of thirteen parts, divided into three sections. The first part is a general introduction, including the first and second parts, which mainly expounds the decisive achievements in building a well-off society in an all-round way, the new opportunities and challenges in the new development stage, the long-term goals in 2035, and the guiding ideology, principles and main goals of economic and social development during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period.

The third part is the conclusion, including the thirteenth part and the conclusion, which mainly expounds the contents of strengthening the centralized and unified leadership of the party, building a team of high-quality professional cadres, deepening the reform of the talent system and mechanism, persevering in rectifying discipline and fighting corruption, giving full play to the advantages of the party’s United front, and improving the planning and implementation mechanism.

Third, several key issues that need to be explained

The draft proposal puts forward some major arrangements and arrangements, and here are some brief explanations.

(1) Building Hainan Free Trade Port with high quality and high standards. The construction of a free trade port with China characteristics in Hainan is an important measure of reform and opening up, which was personally planned, deployed and promoted by the Supreme Leader General Secretary. Every step of the construction of the free trade port embodies the care and love of the Supreme Leader General Secretary and the CPC Central Committee. Since "April 13th", General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has given important instructions on the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port for 18 times. In particular, on May 28th this year, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made important instructions on the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port. At the beginning of October, we gave instructions on the report on the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port; At the opening ceremony of the 3rd China International Import Expo(CIIE) on November 4th, it was pointed out that the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port started smoothly. China will effectively play the leading role of free trade pilot zone and free trade port "; On November 19th, Hainan Free Trade Port was mentioned again in the keynote speech of APEC Business Leaders Dialogue. The central "14th Five-Year Plan" proposal also emphasizes "steadily promoting the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port and building a new highland for opening to the outside world". The ardent expectations of the Supreme Leader General Secretary and the CPC Central Committee and their deep concern for Hainan people have greatly enhanced the confidence and determination of the broad masses of cadres and people in the province to build a free trade port.

It is the core, the most important and the most urgent goal and task of Hainan during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period to thoroughly implement the spirit of the series of important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port, do a good job in the implementation of the Overall Plan and go all out to build a free trade port. With regard to the attitude and determination to implement it, the provincial party committee has repeatedly stressed that "it is urgent and not slow", and it must have a sense of crisis and urgency, otherwise it will miss the historic development opportunity. In terms of ideas and methods of implementation, we should put system integration and innovation in a more prominent position, connect with international high-level economic and trade rules, and maximize the free and convenient flow of production factors. In grasping the pace and progress of implementation, we should pay close attention to the "control project" and necessary conditions for starting the island’s customs clearance operation before 2025, grasp the relationship between "first-line" liberalization and "second-line" management, and strive for early customs clearance operation.

Therefore, the draft proposal takes accelerating the implementation of the first phase of the construction of the free trade port as the top priority, building the infrastructure, supervision facilities and information systems of open ports and "second-line ports" with high standards, accelerating the implementation of major policies such as "five freedoms, convenience, safety and order", planning major projects, promoting major innovations, and making specific arrangements for achieving more early harvest and early customs clearance operation.

(2) On promoting high-quality development. The central "14 th Five-Year Plan" suggests that the theme of economic and social development during the "14 th Five-Year Plan" period should be to promote high-quality development. High-quality development is a development that can meet the people’s growing needs for a better life, embodies the new development concept, and is a development in which innovation becomes the first driving force, coordination becomes the endogenous feature, green becomes the universal form, openness becomes the only way, and sharing becomes the fundamental purpose. Promoting high-quality development is the fundamental requirement for determining development ideas and formulating policies and measures at present and in the future.

To promote high-quality development, we must implement the new development concept to the letter. In terms of innovation and development, we should adhere to the core position of innovation in the overall situation of modernization, emancipate our minds, make bold innovations, build a distinctive innovation platform, accelerate the construction of "smart Hainan", and build a smart benchmark for global free trade ports. In terms of coordinated development, starting from the outstanding problems of unbalanced and uncoordinated development, we will adhere to the principle of "a chess game in the whole province and the whole island being integrated into the same city" and promote the coordinated development of regions, urban and rural areas, material civilization and spiritual civilization, and economic construction and national defense construction. In terms of green development, we should practice the concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", fully implement the rectification measures of feedback from the central environmental protection inspector and the national marine inspector, and deepen the six special rectification of the ecological environment. We should resolutely reject projects that destroy the ecological environment, even if they create more GDP and more tax revenue, and we should not "find vegetables in the basket" to promote the formation of a green production lifestyle and ensure that the ecological environment can only be better, but not worse. In terms of opening up and development, we should stick to opening up first, build a new highland for opening up to the outside world, build an important hub for participating in the domestic and international double cycle, deeply integrate into the construction of the "Belt and Road", actively implement and serve the regional comprehensive economic partnership agreement, and make Hainan an important open gateway for China. In terms of shared development, we should take the realization, maintenance and development of the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as the starting point and the end result of development, and ensure that the dividends from the construction of the free trade port will benefit all the people more fairly.

To promote high-quality development, we must maintain a relatively fast development speed. In soliciting opinions, many comrades suggested that the development speed should be faster under the background of building a free trade port, and live up to the care and love of the CPC Central Committee and the earnest expectations of the people of the whole province. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the economic development of our province is expected to achieve a relatively high growth rate, mainly due to five considerations. From the mission, Hainan shoulders the great mission of building a free trade port with China characteristics entrusted by the CPC Central Committee, and the effectiveness of fulfilling the mission must be reflected in the achievements of development. From the basic point of view, we have made remarkable achievements during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, especially the continuous improvement of the infrastructure of the "five networks", the continuous optimization of the industrial structure and investment structure, and the continuous improvement of economic quality and core competitiveness. From the trend, Hainan should rely on the domestic big market, give full play to the advantages of the free trade port policy, actively participate in promoting the construction of a new development pattern, do a good job in Hainan articles, and make Hainan contributions. From the main point of view, there are currently more than 1.159 million market players in the province. It is estimated that from April 13th, 2018 to April 13th next year, the number of new market players is expected to exceed the sum of the past 30 years, reflecting the market’s confidence in the free trade port and its enthusiasm for participating in Hainan’s development, and the momentum is still growing. From the perspective of layout, the reform of "multi-regulation integration" has been deepened, the direction of industrial development has become clearer, and a number of controlling, basic and leading projects such as "Smart Hainan" have been accelerated. This has provided a solid support for the realization of high-speed growth during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period.

To promote high-quality development, we must further optimize the economic structure. The "April 13th" important speech of the Supreme Leader, the 12th Document of the Central Committee and the General Plan all put forward clear requirements for building a modern economic system. Hainan should take the development of tourism, modern service industry and high-tech industry as the leading factor, and emphasize the all-round development of people to fully stimulate the vitality and creativity of development. From the perspective of the world’s major free trade ports, the service industry occupies an important position in the modern industrial system. For example, the added value of the service industry in Singapore and Dubai accounts for more than 70% of the domestic or regional GDP, and Hong Kong has reached more than 90%. According to the actual situation of our province, the modern service industry has the fastest development speed and the greatest potential, and it is the leading industry that drives the economic growth of our province. To this end, the proposed draft proposes to aim at the international advanced level, promote the optimization and upgrading of the service industry, focus on the development of modern service industries such as trade in goods and services, modern logistics and modern finance, and form an industrial structure dominated by a service-oriented economy. By 2025, the added value of the service industry will reach more than 65%, creating a model for high-quality development.

(3) Promoting the construction of a new development pattern. The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee clearly proposed to speed up the construction of a new development pattern with the domestic big cycle as the main body and the domestic and international double cycles promoting each other. This is a major decision made by the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core according to the changes in China’s development stage, environment and conditions, and it is a strategic choice to adapt to the new requirements of China’s development stage and shape new advantages in international cooperation and competition. The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee demanded that to build a new development pattern, on the one hand, we should seize the strategic base point of expanding domestic demand, promote structural reform on the supply side, improve the adaptability of the supply system to domestic demand, and form a higher level dynamic balance of demand pulling supply and supply creating demand; On the other hand, the new development pattern is an open domestic and international double cycle. We should open wider to the outside world at a higher level, make China a powerful gravitational field to attract high-quality global resource elements, and promote mutual benefit and common prosperity and development between China and other countries.

How to grasp the strategic connotation of accelerating the construction of a new development pattern from the overall situation and strategic height, and how to play a leading and driving role in the new development pattern, Hainan should focus on the following three aspects.

The first is to create an open new highland. Hainan, adjacent to Southeast Asia, has the advantages of utilizing two domestic and international markets and resources, superimposing a free trade port policy with global influence, and is fully qualified to build a regional international trade center, connecting the two major domestic and international cycles, providing consumers with more and better products and services, and leading and creating richer new demands; We have the conditions and advantages to lead in the double cycle and better form new advantages in participating in international economic cooperation and competition.

In terms of opening wider to the outside world, it is necessary to meet the international high-level economic and trade rules, promote the free and convenient flow of trade, investment, capital, personnel entry and exit, and transportation, integrate into the global industrial chain and international division of labor, and attract global resource elements to gather; It is necessary to strengthen cultural exchanges and communication with foreign countries, promote culture to go abroad, and enhance the attractiveness of cultural products. Accordingly, the proposed draft puts forward measures such as building an international shipping hub and aviation hub for the new land-sea passage in the west, building a four-hour and eight-hour flight economic circle and building a platform for cultural, educational, agricultural and tourism exchanges on the 21st century Maritime Silk Road.

In terms of opening wider to the outside world, we should overcome the unfavorable factors of raw materials and markets, give full play to the advantages of "relying on the super-large domestic market and hinterland economy", promote the coordinated development and strategic docking between regions, and guide mainland enterprises to develop headquarters economy, develop new formats and open up new markets in Qionglai. Accordingly, the draft proposal puts forward measures such as promoting the coordinated development with Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, deepening the cooperation between Guangdong, Guangxi and Qiongzhou, and building the Qiongzhou Strait Economic Belt.

The second is to build an international tourism consumption center with world influence. China has a population of 1.4 billion, the per capita GDP has exceeded $10,000, and the middle-income group has exceeded 400 million. It is the largest and most potential consumer market in the world. Under the influence of the shrinking global market and the COVID-19 epidemic, the importance of expanding domestic demand as a strategic basis is even more prominent. Hainan has a unique ecological environment and rich tropical resources, and tourism is Hainan’s beautiful business card. During the Golden Week of November this year, the amount of duty-free shopping in the province’s outlying islands reached 1.04 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 148.7%. During the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" period, we should actively integrate into the domestic cycle, make good use of the "golden signboard" for duty-free shopping on outlying islands, stimulate domestic demand, and attract Chinese residents to spend overseas; It is necessary to practice hard to enhance the competitiveness and attractiveness of tourism, attract the world’s top consumer brands to settle in and lead the international tourism consumption trend; It is necessary to promote the integration of tourism and culture, develop new cultural consumption formats, and make the people of the province feel more experienced and the people of the whole country feel more gained. Therefore, the draft proposal proposes measures such as holding the China International Consumer Goods Expo at a high level, creating the first destination to replace outbound tourism and shopping in China, attracting famous events to settle down, promoting the construction of cruise tourism pilot zone and yacht industry reform, development and innovation pilot zone, and strengthening cultural entertainment, festivals and exhibitions.

The third is to expand and optimize effective investment. Investment is the key support for steady growth, structural adjustment and employment promotion, and it is also the stabilizer and booster for economic and social development. The construction of Hainan Free Trade Port must be promoted by one project and one investment. To accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, we must give play to the key role of investment in optimizing the supply structure. Since "April 13th", we have strengthened the project investment to promote the construction of the free trade port, and adhered to the principle of "bi-monthly centralized contract signing and single-month centralized construction". In the past two years, 1,331 projects have been started intensively with a total investment of 607.7 billion yuan, achieving a smooth start in the construction of the free trade port. In the first three quarters of this year, the province’s fixed assets investment increased by 8.4% year-on-year, ranking fifth in the country in terms of growth rate. However, the construction of free trade port still needs a lot of investment, especially in key parks, "five networks" infrastructure, new industrialization, informationization, urbanization, agricultural modernization and public services, and we still have great potential. During the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" period, we must further optimize the investment structure, maintain a reasonable growth of investment, give play to the role of government investment, stimulate the vitality of private investment, and speed up the filling of shortcomings. To this end, the proposed draft proposes to implement a number of major infrastructure projects, lay out new infrastructure in advance, and build a modern infrastructure system; Promote new urbanization with people as the core, implement urban renewal actions, and steadily promote the transformation of old urban areas, shanty towns and old communities; Fill in the shortcomings and weaknesses of urban and rural public infrastructure construction and improve urban and rural public service capabilities.

(four) on the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" period and the economic development goals by 2035. When determining the economic development goals, we conscientiously implement the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, maintain a high degree of consistency with the No.12 Document of the Central Committee and the Overall Plan, and fully consider the development environment at home and abroad and the reality of our province, so as to be both inspiring and practical.

On the economic development goals during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period. In the process of soliciting opinions, some cities, counties, departments, experts and scholars clearly put forward that the economic development of our province should achieve a relatively high growth rate during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out in the explanation of the central "14th Five-Year Plan" proposal that it is entirely possible for the whole country to double its economic aggregate or per capita income by 2035. Considering our province’s small economy, strong late-comer advantage and lower per capita GDP than the national average, the drafting group, after careful study and calculation, believes that our province has the conditions, hope and potential to achieve a higher economic growth, and the regional GDP is expected to double by 2025. To this end, the draft proposal emphasizes the speed of development while guiding all aspects to focus on the quality and efficiency of development, and puts forward that the economic growth rate of our province during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period ranks among the top in the country, and the regional GDP achieves an average annual growth of more than 10%, and the per capita regional GDP ranks among high-income regions.

About the goal of economic development by 2035. Considering the continuous release of the free trade port policy dividend, our province’s economy is expected to maintain a relatively high growth rate in the next 15 years and achieve a historic leap. To this end, the proposed draft proposes that by 2035, our province should be at the forefront of the country in socialist modernization, and the system and operation mode of the free trade port will be more mature and become a new highland of China’s open economy; The economic aggregate and the per capita income of urban and rural residents have reached a new level; Build a modern economic system and form a number of trillion-dollar industries such as the Internet, consumption (including duty-free shopping), health and education, tourism, culture and sports; Initially build a beautiful new Hainan with economic prosperity, social civilization, ecological livability and people’s happiness.

The proposal of the provincial party committee mainly focuses on the general direction, and comprehensively considers various factors. The draft proposal adopts a qualitative expression with quantitative implications for the economic development goals during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period and by 2035. When compiling the Outline of the Tenth Five-Year Plan, corresponding quantitative targets can be put forward on the basis of careful calculation.

(5) On the construction of a people-centered free trade port. When General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited Hainan in 2013, he called for speeding up the construction of a beautiful new Hainan with economic prosperity, social civilization, ecological livability and people’s happiness, which reflected the people-centered development thought. The Seventh Provincial Party Congress and the No.12 Document of the Central Committee all take the construction of a beautiful new Hainan as the development goal, with the aim of making the people live a good life and have a sense of gain, happiness and security. In June this year, the provincial party committee held an on-the-spot meeting to fully implement the important exposition of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on "Well-off society is not well-off, and the key is to look at fellow villagers", and to mobilize and redeploy Hainan to win the final battle of poverty alleviation and build a well-off society in sync with the whole country, also for this development goal.

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, we resolutely won the battle against poverty, and all the key counties in poverty alleviation and development in five countries took off their hats and won the excellent evaluation of the effectiveness of poverty alleviation for two consecutive years; Every year, more than 70% of fiscal revenue will be invested in people’s livelihood, 102 schools and 49 hospitals will be introduced, and a social security system covering the whole people will be basically completed. However, we should also be soberly aware that 80% of the land in our province is in rural areas, and more than 60% of the registered population is in rural areas. The development of agriculture and rural areas is not sufficient, and there is a big gap between urban and rural regional development and income distribution. This is the biggest provincial situation in Hainan and the biggest shortcoming in the construction of a free trade port. In the new journey of building a socialist modernized country in an all-round way, we must always adhere to the people-centered principle, continue to carry forward the spirit of the SAR of "being bold and daring to try, being the first, and working hard" and the spirit of "being rooted in the soil, persevering and selfless dedication", promote fairness and justice, and ensure that the fruits of reform and development benefit all the people. To this end, the draft proposal proposes to improve the income level of urban and rural residents, implement the employment priority policy, build a high-quality education system, improve the social security system, promote the construction of a healthy Hainan, improve the multi-level housing security and supply system, and effectively link the achievements of consolidating and expanding poverty alleviation with rural revitalization, so that all people will take solid steps towards common prosperity by 2035.

(six) on the prevention and resolution of major risks. In his important speech at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that it is necessary to properly handle the relationship between development and security, and implement security development in the whole process of development. The General Secretary repeatedly told Hainan to strengthen the construction of risk prevention and control system, and made a series of important instructions on drawing lessons from three "ups and downs" in Hainan’s history and preventing and resolving risks, which provided important guidance for us to coordinate all work.

In recent years, the provincial party Committee has always adhered to the bottom line thinking and unswervingly promoted the work of preventing and resolving major risks. For example, in terms of real estate risk prevention and control, we have made a series of measures to regulate real estate with the determination of a strong man to break his wrist. From the implementation of the "two suspensions" policy in 2016 to the implementation of global purchase restriction in 2018, we will resolutely curb speculation and promote the sustained and healthy development of the real estate industry. In terms of risk prevention and control of goods trade, the Provisional Regulations on Anti-smuggling in Hainan Province was formulated and implemented, and the construction of provincial big data management bureau, data hall and social management information platform was accelerated, and three solid defense lines, namely, offshore, shoreline and island, were built, which formed a strong deterrent to all kinds of smuggling activities. In the aspect of ecological environment risk prevention and control, adhere to the principle that all new projects are not allowed to cause incremental pressure on the ecological environment to ensure that the ecological environment can only be better and not worse. In terms of risk prevention and control of social governance, Tiequan banned drugs and gambling, and carried out a special struggle to eliminate evil and ensure social harmony and stability.

With the deepening of the construction of the free trade port, the level of opening up is gradually improved, and the uncertainties and unstable factors are increasing, and the risks and challenges will become more severe. If these risks are not managed well, they will easily interfere, hinder and delay the comprehensive deepening of reform and opening up, and may even make directional mistakes. To this end, the proposed draft proposes to improve the governance ability to prevent and resolve various risks, focusing on risk prevention and control in trade, taxation, finance, data flow, public health, safety production and other fields to ensure that systematic risks do not occur.

(seven) on adhering to the concept of system. In his important speech at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that the concept of system is a basic thought and working method. China’s development environment is facing profound and complex changes, the problem of insufficient development imbalance is still outstanding, and the contradictions in economic and social development are complicated. We must plan and solve them from the perspective of system concept, and comprehensively coordinate and promote work in various fields and socialist modernization. The complexity, sensitivity and hardship faced by the construction of free trade port are no less than those at the beginning of reform and opening up. We must adhere to systematic planning and overall planning, resolutely break the piecemeal adjustment and piecemeal minor repairs, resolutely break the barriers between departments and regions, and resolutely break the restrictions of system blocks to achieve the unity of development quality, structure, scale, speed, efficiency and safety.

The proposed draft highlights forward-looking thinking, overall planning, strategic layout, and overall promotion, and runs through the whole text with the concept of system, emphasizing the integration and innovation of systems in a prominent position, initially establishing a free trade port policy system, and removing institutional and institutional obstacles that hinder the market-oriented allocation of production factors and the circulation of goods and services; Emphasize the adherence to "a game of chess in the whole province, the whole island being the same city" and establish a more effective new mechanism for coordinated regional and urban-rural development; Emphasize building a first-class business environment, adhere to the five-level secretary to optimize the business environment, and improve the working mechanism of party Committee leadership, government responsibility, participation of all parties and social supervision; Emphasis is placed on deepening the reform of the large-scale department system, and the matters with similar functions and similar business scope are relatively concentrated.

Comrades! It is the main task of this plenary session to consider and adopt the "14 th Five-Year Plan" and the long-term goal proposal for 2035. Doing this work well is of great significance to guiding the compilation of the Outline of the Tenth Five-Year Plan and leading the economic and social development during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period. Everyone should seriously think and discuss in depth, put forward constructive opinions and suggestions, and formulate a high-level planning proposal. Let’s make concerted efforts and brainstorm to make this plenary session a success!

Recently, an open letter inside the ultra-Vietnamese car has aroused widespread concern. This letter was sent by Xia Yiping, CEO of Jiyue Automobile, in which he frankly stated that the company was facing unprecedented challenges, and announced that the company would enter the stage of entrepreneurship 2.0 and must take immediate measures to make adjustments.

Xia Yiping emphasized in the letter that the entire automobile industry is experiencing a storm of efficiency improvement. In order to cope with this change, the management of the company will go all out to tide over the difficulties with its employees. He pointed out that the company must do four things well in the new venture period: first, insist on long-term investment in core technologies to maintain a leading position; The second is to strengthen the construction of sales and service capabilities to cope with fierce market competition; The third is to merge departments and posts with overlapping functions and reform inefficient internal workflow; The fourth is to cut projects that cannot improve financial performance in the short term.

It is understood that Jiyue Automobile is a high-end smart car robot brand jointly built by Baidu and Geely Holding Group. It was officially released in August 2023, and the first model was also launched in October of the same year. However, despite being backed by two industry giants, the performance of Extreme Vietnam in the market is not satisfactory. Since the beginning of this year, both brand influence and sales have failed to enter the ranks of mainstream brands.

According to the data, in the first six months of 2024, the sales volume of Extreme Yue vehicles was 218, 147, 511, 362, 1,001 and 461 respectively, and the cumulative sales volume in half a year was less than 3,000. In contrast, the sales volume of the same brand in June reached 20,106 units, and the monthly sales volume was more than six times that of the half-year sales volume. Although the new car 07 went on the market in the second half of the year, the sales volume of Extreme Vietnam has improved, but there is still a big gap from the "10,000 clubs".

Facing the severe market situation, the internal adjustment of the ultra-Vietnam automobile is also quietly carried out. According to insiders, the adjustment measures mentioned by Xia Yiping in the open letter actually mean that the company will start to lay off employees and cut projects. In fact, as early as the beginning of December, there were rumors that the extreme Vietnam would start a large-scale layoff, with a ratio as high as 40%. Although the company’s legal department subsequently denied it, since the release of the open letter, many netizens said on social media that they had been abolished, most of them were front-line salespeople.

In addition to layoffs, Extreme Vietnam Auto was also exposed to the problem of arrears in supplier cooperation funds. According to the scientific and technological media "Tech Planet" report, Jiyue Automobile defaulted on the payment of 360,000 yuan to the communication supplier, which was overdue and refused to pay the reminder letter for many times. In response to this matter and the delivery of new cars, Jiyue released a situation statement in the evening, indicating that the delivery of new cars is normal, and all parties are coordinating to fully promote the delivery of new cars and arrange payment in an orderly manner.

With the fermentation of public opinion, the live broadcast room of Extreme Yue Automobile has also been affected. Some netizens found that the official live broadcast room of Extreme Vietnam did not start broadcasting today, while the live broadcast rooms of other stores were normally opened, but the anchors were worried by the repeated questions from netizens and could not introduce the products normally. Some anchors even started to apply for jobs online, expressing their worries about their future career development.

Extreme Yue Auto also plans to make large-scale adjustments to offline stores. According to a salesperson, the clock-in time of its store has expired on the 16th of this month, when the company will inform the whole country how many stores to stay and which region to stay. It is reported that the best situation is to leave 50 stores. Another salesperson in Beijing said that all the stores in Beijing may be removed.

According to public information, as of the end of November, there were 140 offline stores, covering more than 40 mainstream cities across the country. Earlier, Xia Yiping publicly stated that he planned to open more than 250 stores in 2024. However, in the face of the current market situation and internal adjustment, this plan seems to be difficult to achieve.

Data map: Training of honor guards of the PLA Armed Forces

　　On April 23rd this year, China Navy held a grand military parade in the waters near Qingdao, which can be regarded as a prelude to the 60th National Day military parade of New China. China’s Ministry of National Defense said that this year’s National Day military parade will focus on the achievements of the construction of the armed forces system with China characteristics, with domestic main battle equipment as the mainstay.

　　If equipment is a metaphysical tool, then the thought of national defense and army building is a metaphysical way to guide the development of military forces. In the past 60 years, the tool of China’s army has changed from "made in all countries" to "information-based", while the Tao of China’s army has changed with the times and made a unique way.

　　From "people’s war" to "the road of elite soldiers with China characteristics", from "military reform with China characteristics" to "Scientific Outlook on Development as a guide" … Since the founding of New China 60 years ago, the world pattern has changed and historical conditions have changed constantly, and China’s national defense and army building are facing different topics at different times. The leaders of China in the past dynasties not only persisted in the same strain, but also innovated and developed according to the times when they worked out the strategy of strengthening the army.

　　现代化强军之路 改革步入“深水区”

　　抗战初期，中国共产党人已经在思考“军队现代化”这个命题。十一年后，在共和国成立庆典的阅兵式上，解放军拿着“万国造”的武器，用骡马拖拽着火炮从天安门前走过。这一刻，建设现代化国防和军队的课题更加凸显。

　　一九五0年九月，毛泽东提出：“中国必须建立强大的国防军。”百业待兴的新中国，在重重困难中，进行着国防现代化的初步探索和实践。从那时起，“现代化”成为中国国防和军队建设的根本之“纲”，贯穿于几代领导人的思路之中。

　　经历了建国初期时的波折与停顿，上世纪八十年代，邓小平指出，军队的中心任务是解决现代化的问题。在中国改革开放的进程中，邓小平与其继承者，一直着力于“建设强大的现代化正规化革命军队”这一课题。

　　“中国国防和军队建设现代化的大政方针，由毛泽东奠定基础，邓小平提出蓝图，到江泽民则是作出了具体的规划。”国防大学战略研究部副主任张伊宁少将说。

　　He believes that at present, military reform has entered the "deep water area." "The military reform stresses four innovations: theoretical innovation, technological innovation, management innovation and organizational innovation. We have done some work on the first three." Zhang Yining said that in the past, the military reform mainly focused on changing the scale, reducing the number and improving the technical level. "Organizational innovation is the most difficult and critical. At this stage, it is mainly to promote the reform of organizational form, which is the most arduous reform."

　　Change and invariability are rooted in time and never change.

　　For a long time after the founding of New China, national defense and army building were in a state of war for a long time. At the end of 1970s, the international and domestic situation changed greatly. At that time, Deng Xiaoping made a judgment on the issue of war and peace: "It is possible that a large-scale world war will not happen in a long time, and there is hope for maintaining world peace." Based on this judgment, China’s national defense and army building turned to the track of peacetime construction.

　　It is a remarkable feature of several generations of leaders in China to adjust their thinking on national defense and army building. Shortly after the end of the Gulf War in 1991, Jiang Zemin pointed out: "Meeting the challenges of world military development is our unavoidable historical responsibility." China’s military strategic policy began to change to prepare to win local wars under the conditions of modern technology, especially high technology, and then put forward the strategy of "strengthening the army through science and technology".

　　After the September 11th incident in the United States, the international situation has changed and new issues have emerged in domestic security. In Hu Jintao’s exposition on national defense and army building under the new situation, there is a statement that "improve the army’s ability to respond to various security threats and complete diversified military tasks, resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, and contribute to the maintenance of world peace". Based on this, Hu Jintao put forward a new mission for the army in the new century.

　　"Things that have changed in the past 60 years are all made according to changes in historical conditions and are formulated to adapt to the situation in different periods." Zhang Yining said, "What remains unchanged is the root and soul of China’s army, which is to listen to the party’s command, serve the people and safeguard national interests."

　　The principle of building the People’s Army founded by Mao Zedong is upheld by its successors. After the reform and opening up, the army faced many new situations and problems. Deng Xiaoping repeatedly stressed that the army should always adhere to its own nature: the army of the party, the army of the people, and the army of socialist countries; Later, Jiang Zemin pointed out that the party’s absolute leadership over the army is the eternal soul of China’s army, emphasizing that the army should "win and not deteriorate"; In the new century, Hu Jintao vigorously advocated the fine tradition of listening to the Party’s command, serving the people and being brave and good at fighting in the army.

　　May peace last forever and never seek hegemony.

　　During the naval parade, Hu Jintao told the guests from all over the world that no matter how developed, China would never seek hegemony.

　　Although the outside world is full of all kinds of "China threat theory", combing the history, we can find that from Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping to Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao, several generations of China leaders have declared "no hegemony" on various occasions. Looking through the six national defense white papers published by China, we can find the statement that "China pursues a defensive national defense policy".

　　China people have the dream of "strengthening the army", but they always hold the hope of peace. "China’s army will always be an important force in safeguarding world peace and promoting common development." Behind this commitment, it is also the consistent thinking of several generations of leaders in China.
