On China’s Economic Development Confidence from Ten Dimensions

  In the spring of 2023, the two national conferences will be held soon, and the world’s eyes will focus on China — —

  At this moment, the pace of China’s economic stabilization and recovery is accelerating. All localities and departments are working hard, and people’s confidence in economic development is more firm.

  This confidence stems from the blueprint, and the convening of the party’s 20 th National Congress of Victory blew the horn of the times for a new journey of endeavor;

  This confidence comes from the mainstay. Under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups across the country are United and forge ahead, and China’s economic ship is sailing forward through the wind and waves.

  On the eve of the National People’s Congress and the National People’s Congress, Xinhua News Agency interviewed the deputies to the new National People’s Congress and Committee member Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, and felt the confidence of China’s economic development from ten dimensions.

  Super-large-scale market: great potential

  With the arrival of the last batch of Chilean cherries "charter boat" this year, Dalian Port’s direct flight to South America "Cherry Express" recently closed, and the cumulative import volume increased by 1.5 times year-on-year.

  In Chile, 20,000 kilometers away, the planting area of cherries has increased by about four times since 2011, and 90% of the output has been exported to China. In order to sell more cherries to China, some people began to plant them near Patagonia Plateau, while others sought opportunities in the northern desert.

  Small cherries are a microcosm of China’s big market affecting the domestic and international double cycle.

  With a population of over 1.4 billion and a middle-income group of over 400 million, by 2030, the cumulative import volume of commodities is expected to exceed 22 trillion US dollars, and China is undoubtedly the largest market with the greatest potential in the world. The middle-income group will exceed 800 million in the next 15 years, which will promote the continuous development of the ultra-large-scale market.

  In 2022, under the severe impact of the epidemic, China remained the second largest consumer market and the largest online retail market in the world with the total retail sales of social consumer goods of 44 trillion yuan, and became the second largest import market in the world for the 14th consecutive year.

  "Every 1% increase in household consumption can drive GDP growth by about 0.5 percentage points." Deputy Huang Maoxing, vice president of Fujian Academy of Social Sciences, prepared relevant suggestions, proposing to expand domestic demand from accelerating consumption upgrading and cultivating new growth poles of regional consumption.

  "Promoting economic recovery and sustained and healthy development mainly depends on consumption, so that consumption can be restored as soon as possible to become the main driving force for economic growth." Deputy Xu Hongcai, Vice Minister of Finance, said that China will enhance consumer confidence and release consumption potential from three aspects: increasing residents’ income through multiple channels, increasing the supply of marketable goods, and promoting smooth sales channels and logistics.

  At the end of 2022, the Outline of the Strategic Plan for Expanding Domestic Demand (2022-2035) issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council was released, which defined the medium-and long-term goals, accelerated the cultivation of a complete domestic demand system, promoted the formation of a strong domestic market, and supported the smooth domestic economic cycle.

  Member Bai Zhongen, Dean of Tsinghua University Institute of Economics and Management, said that a strong domestic market is an important support for China’s economic growth potential. Growing investment and consumer demand provide fertile ground for innovation and promote industrial upgrading.

  "From the perspective of per capita infrastructure capital stock, China is only 20% to 30% of developed countries, and the demand for infrastructure construction is still very large." Zhao Chenxi, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said.

  Infrastructure construction has obvious "multiplier effect", and an infrastructure investment can bring several times the total social demand and national income.

  Looking back on the extraordinary ten years, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge was completed and opened to traffic, the Baihetan Hydropower Station was put into operation in an all-round way, and the world’s largest network of charging facilities was built. The expressway mileage is 177,000 kilometers, the high-speed rail mileage is 42,000 kilometers, the world’s top ten super ports have seven seats, and there are 254 civil certification airports.

  Hundreds of millions of market players: gathering and developing powerful kinetic energy

  After returning to the expansion range in January, the manufacturing purchasing managers index continued to rise in February; In January, the new credit was 4.9 trillion yuan, a record high in a single month; The development index of small and medium-sized enterprises has stopped falling and rebounded … …

  Since the beginning of the year, with the epidemic prevention and control entering a new stage, market confidence has accelerated and the vitality of various market players has been gradually released.

  "The market is picking up. We must speed up the integration and optimization of the local agricultural product industry chain and bring more and better agricultural products to the market." Deputy Huang Xiufen, Chairman of Guangdong Yabei Agricultural Products Co., Ltd. said.

  Statistics from the General Administration of Market Supervision show that as of January 2023, there were 170 million market players in China, including 114 million registered individual industrial and commercial households nationwide, accounting for about two-thirds of the total market players and driving nearly 300 million people to obtain employment.

  Zhang Junkuo, former deputy director of the State Council Development Research Center, said that the business environment should be continuously optimized so that various market players can not only seize opportunities, but also turn crises into opportunities and achieve better development.

  The key to promoting the overall economic operation is to strengthen innovation.

  According to the preliminary calculation of the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2022, the investment in R&D in China broke the 3 trillion yuan mark for the first time. Enterprise R&D investment accounts for more than 75% of the total social R&D investment. By the end of 2022, there were 355,000 domestic enterprises with valid invention patents, and 2.324 million were valid invention patents, a year-on-year increase of 21.8%.

"As a private entrepreneur, we should carry forward the entrepreneurial spirit, constantly enhance the sense of responsibility and mission of entrepreneurship, innovation and creation, and strive hard to build a new development pattern in the new era."

  From "Demographic Dividend" to "Talent Dividend": Providing Key Support for Modernization

  Before going to Beijing to attend the two sessions of the National People’s Congress, Yang Denghui, a deputy to the National People’s Congress after 1995 and a teacher of Guangdong College of Mechanical Technicians, was still taking the time to coach the students: "The key to modernization lies in people. In addition to scientific research talents, it also needs a large number of highly skilled talents to support it, and it is necessary to increase investment in technical education and personnel training. "

  "The labor force factor is the key factor that determines the long-term trend of the economy. It refers to the number of people who have labor skills and can participate in social and economic activities. Its potential depends on health and education. These two conditions are available in China." Li Daokui, a professor at Tsinghua University, thinks.

  From the perspective of talent scale — — China has a working-age population of 880 million, exceeding the total working-age population of all developed countries in the world; With a total of 220 million people, it is the largest and most complete talent resource country in the world, and the total number of R&D personnel ranks first in the world.

  From the perspective of talent quality — — The average age of China’s population is 38.8 years old, the population receiving higher education reaches 240 million, and the average years of education of the newly added labor force reaches 13.8 years. Every year, hundreds of millions of employees receive diversified training, and the quality structure of the labor force has undergone major changes.

  From the perspective of talent efficiency — — China ranks first in the world in the number of SCI papers published and the effective amount of invention patents. The number of highly cited papers continues to climb to the second place in the world.

  "The contribution of a scientific and technological innovation talent to economic and social development is more than four times that of the general labor force on average. Talent competition has become one of the core elements of comprehensive national strength competition. " Sun Rui, a researcher at China Institute of Personnel Science, said.

  China is in a critical period from "Made in China" to "Created in China", from relying on a large number of low-cost labor inputs to technical factors to promote economic growth.

  "Improve the quality of personnel training in an all-round way and strive to bring up top-notch innovative talents, ‘ Demographic dividend ’ Will be upgraded to ‘ Talent bonus ’ It will provide lasting impetus for China’s economy to maintain medium and high-speed growth and achieve high-quality development. " Sun Rui said.

  At this year’s National People’s Congress, Sun Dongming, a researcher at the Institute of Metals, Chinese Academy of Sciences, is going to put forward a proposal on opening up the "last mile" of the industrial chain of scientific and technological innovation: "Accelerate the process of localization and self-control of key core technologies and realize the integrated development of innovation chain, industrial chain and market chain."

  Coordinated development of urban and rural areas: broadening new development space

  In 2022, under the complicated and severe domestic and international situation, China’s economy pushed forward, and the high-quality development of regional economy played a key role.

  The economic aggregate of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei has exceeded 10 trillion yuan, the economic aggregate of nine cities in mainland Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has exceeded 10 trillion yuan, and the economic aggregate of three provinces and one city in the Yangtze River Delta has exceeded 29 trillion yuan — — The economic aggregate of the three major urban agglomerations accounts for more than 40% of the national total, and it has become a veritable economic ballast stone, a high-quality development power source and a reform experimental field.

  The vast urban and rural areas provide huge development space and room for maneuver for China’s economic development. In 2022, affected by unexpected factors such as epidemic situation, China’s economy grew by 3% year-on-year. Among the 10 provinces with GDP growth rate above 4%, the western provinces have 6 seats and the central provinces have 3 seats. While the eastern provinces have been slowed down by the impact of external demand, the central and western regions have played a key role in stabilizing and ensuring the chain and ensuring the security of food and energy supply.

  Deputy Cai Jiming, director of Tsinghua University Political Economy Research Center, said that to solve the problem of insufficient development imbalance, an important aspect is to promote regional coordinated development and urban-rural integration development, and promote the free flow of resource elements between urban and rural areas and between regions, which will release huge potential and space for China’s economic development.

  The coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the regional integration development of the Yangtze River Delta, the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River basin … … Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has planned new ideas for regional coordinated development, opened up deep space for high-quality development with major regional strategies, promoted new urbanization with people as the core, comprehensively promoted rural revitalization and coordinated urban and rural development, and provided powerful impetus for China’s economy.

  On January 31, 2023, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized in the second collective study in the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee that accelerating the construction of a new development pattern is a strategic decision based on achieving the goal of the second century, overall development and security, and a strategic deployment to grasp the initiative of future development.

  Based on oneself and self-reliance, this is the first move to judge the situation and grasp the initiative of development.

  On February 10th, the No.5 test plane of domestic large aircraft C919 took off from Shanghai Pudong International Airport with full passengers to Ezhou, Hubei, Taiyuan, Shanxi and other places, and successfully completed the full passenger verification flight.

  By the end of 2022, the global order for C919 has reached 1,035. Deputy Zhou Xinmin, vice chairman and general manager of China Commercial Aircraft Co., Ltd. said that the strong domestic market provides strong support for the industrialization, scale and serialization of domestic aircraft. The development and operation of domestic commercial aircraft models such as C919 will promote the upgrading of China aviation manufacturing industry chain as a whole.

  Demand pulls supply, and supply creates demand, smoothing the economic cycle and providing support for building a new development pattern.

  According to the relevant deployment, China is accelerating the urbanization construction with the county as an important carrier, injecting new impetus into the strong domestic market; Construct a "four horizontal and five vertical, two along and ten corridors" logistics channel, and get through the blood circulation … …

On January 30th, the International Monetary Fund sharply raised its economic growth forecast for China this year to 5.2%.

  "The development of China is very likely to become the most important factor to promote global economic growth in 2023." Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, said.

  Deepening reform in an all-round way: transforming institutional advantages into governance efficiency

  From February 26th to 28th, the Second Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee was held in Beijing. The plenary session deliberated and adopted the Plan for the Reform of Party and State Institutions.

  Facing the new situation and new tasks, adjusting and optimizing the institutional setup and functional allocation of the party and the state will continue to promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity and create a new situation of development with new achievements in reform.

  Reform and opening up is a key measure to determine the future and destiny of contemporary China, a strong driving force to promote the development and progress of China for more than 40 years, and a source of vitality for the high-quality development of China.

  After being re-elected as a deputy to the Fourth National People’s Congress and making suggestions for deepening the reform of the registration system for four consecutive years, Fan Yun, the chairman of Shanghai Fushen Evaluation Consulting Group, was deeply touched by the word reform: "The more severe and complicated the situation, the more we must unswervingly deepen the reform and use institutional advantages to deal with risk challenges."

  Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly put forward that we should deepen reform and innovation, unswervingly expand opening-up, focus on breaking down deep-seated institutional and institutional obstacles, constantly highlight the institutional advantages of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, constantly enhance the motivation and vitality of socialist modernization, and better transform China’s institutional advantages into the effectiveness of state governance.

  To start a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and March towards the goal of the second century, the fundamental driving force is still to comprehensively deepen reform.

  "Constantly break the blocking points and blocking points that block the economic cycle, and constantly boost the development confidence of various market players through reform." Member Decai Yang, director of the Institute of Private Economy of Nanjing University, said.

  Only reformers advance, only innovators are strong, and only those who reform and innovate win.

  At the beginning of the Year of the Rabbit, Shanghai, Hebei, Zhejiang and other places focused on optimizing the business environment, blocking points and breaking difficulties; Full implementation of the stock issuance registration system will open up a broader space for the development of the capital market … … The reform measures promoted one by one have accumulated new strength for the modernization journey.

  On October 23, 2022, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out when meeting with Chinese and foreign journalists at the 20th CPC The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC): "After more than 40 years of unremitting efforts in reform and opening up, we have created two miracles: rapid economic development and long-term social stability. Now, China has strong economic resilience, sufficient potential and wide room for manoeuvre, and the long-term positive fundamentals will not change. "

  The new journey is an expedition full of glory and dreams. Deeply understand the decisive significance of "two establishments", resolutely implement "two maintenances", base on the new development stage, implement the new development concept, build a new development pattern, promote high-quality development and solidly promote Chinese modernization, which is an inexhaustible source of China’s confidence.

The branding of the crown is the key to Toyota’s land market outlook

  [Autohome News] Speaking of Toyota’s SUV models in the domestic market, I believe you all know FAW Toyota Prado, Landcool Luze and (|). Among these three cars, the city SUV-oriented Highlander can perform very well in the domestic medium-sized SUV market. Since its launch in 2000, Highlander has implemented Toyota’s "not bad" concept, and with its large space in the same class and good cost performance, it has won the favor of many consumers with rigid demand for household use and large space. Then as the new generation of Toyota Highlander is about to be officially released at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, FAW Toyota is also about to welcome its "Highlander", which is the model that this article will look forward to – "FAW Toyota Land Rover".

Autohome


The main points of this article are:
  1. The launch of Land Rover will make up for the lack of mid-sized SUV market in FAW Toyota.
  2. The two-car strategy enhances and solidifies Toyota’s sales and position in the domestic market.
  3. FAW Toyota branded "Crown" to enhance the prestige of its models.


● What is "Lu Fang"?

  Highlander, the well-known English name is "HIGHLANDER". Most people don’t know that this car has another name called "KLUGER", which is the name of the Highlander sold in Australia. From the domestic trademark application information, we know that the English name of FAW Toyota’s Highlander is "KLUGER", while its Chinese name is "Land Range". These two cars are like COROLLA and LEVIN, or Elfa and Wilfa, which are sister models of the Toyota brand.

"Australian version of Toyota Highlander" KLUGER "

  The new Highlander and Lufang are both built on the platform of Toyota TNGA GA-K. TNGA is the acronym of Toyota New Global Architecture. According to the official explanation, it is an innovation system involving the value of the entire industrial chain such as automobile research and development, design, production, and procurement. It is a new "car-making concept" pioneered by Toyota. The goal of the TNGA architecture will be to increase the degree of shared parts from the original 20% to 30%, and eventually reach 70% or even 80%. Through the TNGA architecture system, resources will eventually be reduced by more than 20%. For Toyota, the cost of building a new car has been greatly reduced, and it is easy to quickly launch a sibling model based on the same platform, which has laid the foundation for Toyota to rapidly advance the two-car strategy in China.

"GAC Toyota Highlander Declaration Map"

  In general, the Lu Fang and the Highlander are essentially the same model, except that the Highlander is produced by GAC Toyota and the Lu Fang is produced by FAW Toyota. After they go on sale in the future, their differences will only be reflected in different appearance orientations and configurations, and consumers only need to choose according to their design, configuration and price preferences when purchasing.

Do you think you just brought in a Land Fang? In fact, it may be "two"

  We all know that since FAW Toyota had to stop production of Prado and Landcooluze models in China due to emissions and other issues, the two generals in the SUV field of the brand left like this, which has shaken Toyota’s position in the domestic SUV market to a certain extent. So, the urgent thing at the moment is to regain the voice over the market. In this era of sales-based, FAW Toyota is in great need of an SUV product that can quickly open the market. Under these preconditions, FAW Toyota’s version of Highlander – "Lu Fang" came into being.

  However, because FAW Toyota not only lost two generals in the SUV field, but also in the car field, Toyota Crown also suffered a shutdown, and the shutdown of these high-priced models made FAW Toyota urgently need a car to boost the brand. This time, FAW Toyota intends to make a big effort to turn all its brilliance into the driving force of the new era, brand the crown model, and attach the "high-end" attribute buff to its models, and the crown-land is about to be born together.

  Lu Fang will continue to inherit the characteristics of Highlander and use the Toyota logo to create a cost-effective model, allowing consumers to have more choices. At the same time, the "Crown-Lu Fang", which changes the label, uses the "Crown LOGO" with feelings to enter the high-end market and seize the market of luxury brands at the same level and large SUVs at the same level.


● Why push the crown in addition to Lu Fang – Lu Fang?

  Speaking of significance, let’s take a look at some basic information about GAC Toyota Highlander. It is a star model under Toyota, a seven-seat medium-sized SUV, and will also provide a 5-seat version. Since its launch, the total sales volume has exceeded one million. The current model price range covers 23.98-32 5,800 yuan. The model configuration plus a wide price range almost meets all the needs of this market and this level. Although Highlander has unlimited scenery in this level, it can be said to be a ceiling-like existence in the overall medium-sized SUV market, but this is both its advantage and its disadvantage. It is imprisoned by itself.

  So far, we have to name another model in the field, the Toyota Crown.

  Toyota Crown, as early as January 1, 1955, the first generation model was rolled off the production line in Japan, and now it is the fifteenth generation model (the fourteenth generation in China). And I have to mention the most classic twelfth-generation Toyota Crown, code-named GRS18x, this first-generation domestic Crown produced with the concept of "ZERO", equipped with 2.5-liter and 3.0-liter naturally aspirated V6 engines, with an absolutely luxurious standard rear-wheel drive platform, FAW Toyota earned enough face in the medium and large car market. When it was launched, it sold more than 10,000 units a month, and made outstanding contributions to establishing the brand perception of FAW Toyota by hanging the domestic Audi A6 and other German medium and large cars of the same period.

"The picture shows the 15th generation Toyota Crown"

  However, it is regrettable that due to the problem of domestic market demand, coupled with FAW Toyota’s eagerness to support the soon-to-decline Crown model, FAW Toyota’s positioning of the Crown model in the domestic market is inaccurate. Data show that the fourteenth generation of Crown sold only 10,378 units in 2019, and the sales of the Crown plummeted, and the brilliance was not there, and eventually stopped at the fourteenth generation model, which was officially discontinued in China on April 28, 2020. Coincidentally, in the Japanese domestic market, a market survey by Toyota shows that people’s demand for medium and large cars has also begun to gradually decrease, and the sales of Toyota Crown have decreased year by year. Therefore, Toyota has decided to discontinue the production of the Crown model, and the overseas version will stop at the fifteenth generation model.

The resurrection of the crown? Only the soul is extracted?

  Don’t worry about it, because Crown has actually been resurrected in disguise. Crown has preserved Toyota Crown’s good reputation by virtue of its excellent product quality and the deep impression it has left on people since the 1980s. Crown has become a symbol of Toyota and has become a good story among the people. Now, the domestic SUV market is developing frantically. At this important time, FAW Toyota has transformed Crown from a model into a high-end brand attribute, using good reputation and feelings to enhance the popularity of the upcoming Land Range models, and launched a more high-end "Crown-Land Range". For example, Mercedes-Benz has upgraded the S-Class with Mercedes-Maybach, Audi is about to restart the Horch version of the A8 model, and Buick has launched the high-end Avenir model, all of which are raising the ceiling of star models so that they can compete in the market across fields.

  Looking at it this way, the purpose of the Crown-Lu Fang is actually very obvious, that is, to break the difference with the GAC Toyota Highlander. As mentioned above, the Highlander is already the ceiling of the medium-sized SUV, and it has won the hearts of the people. The Lu Fang is essentially the Highlander, and it is based on the same platform. There will be no significant changes in size.

  So, FAW Toyota needs a way to highlight the product power of the Lu Fang model, how to highlight it? That is "Crown". FAW Toyota will first crown the Lu Fang "Crown" and launch "Crown-Lu Fang" to surpass the ceiling of the Highlander model. With more powerful configurations, materials and people’s favorite face, the Lu Fang will be raised to a level where it can grab ** large SUV market, thus expanding the scale of competition for the Lu Fang. And if the "Crown" brand effect on the Lu Fang is successful, then the future Crown will be added to the high-end versions of more FAW Toyota models, such as Crown-Wilfa, Crown-Sienna, and even Crown-Corolla. It is not impossible. This is the core market significance of FAW Toyota Crown-Land.

The market needs more segmented models to compete for territory

  With the Crown-Land Release, the market demand of "cross-level" and "high-end" will be solved, but at the same time, it is impossible to give up the larger market, so the significance of the existence of the ordinary version of the Land Release will be highlighted. With the support of the Crown-Land Release, the reputation of the Land Release will also be widely known to consumers. Under such circumstances, the Land Release will have the double buff blessing of "Highlander + Crown". After making a configuration difference with the Highlander, it will form another two-car strategy for Toyota, thereby increasing its market share.

Autohome

  For this level, its two-car strategy is of great significance. For a simple example, if the market demand for medium-sized SUVs is 200 units, and GAC Toyota produces 90 Highlanders per month, then it will sell 90 more units, and the total production capacity is limited. However, the two-car strategy allows GAC Toyota to produce 90 units, and FAW Toyota to produce 90 units. A total of 180 units is likely to account for 90% of the market. Market share is a very important indicator for a car company. Once lost, it is difficult to recover.

  And, after all, Prado and Landcooluzer will not return in a short period of time. If FAW Toyota is unmoved, this market will soon be taken away by other brands. Therefore, FAW Toyota must have a flagship SUV to stabilize its sales in the SUV field.


● Who are the competitors of "Lu Fang"?

  In terms of competitors, in addition to his own Highlander and regular mid-sized SUVs, Lu Fang still wants to compete across levels to grab those medium and large SUV modelsThe market.  

Autohome

  As can be seen from the competition chart of Highlander, the crossover medium and large SUVs have already been listed.For example, Volkswagen’s Touon, Buick Angkeqi, etc. These medium and large SUVs have already stood in the top positions in the comparison with Highlander models, andThese models offer more room and higher grades, and are also strong players in the mid-to-large SUV market.

"The picture shows the American version of Highlander"

  Lu Fang wanted to compete with these medium and large SUVs. He could either increase his own size and upgrade to medium and large SUVs, or he could only develop towards high-end models. But in fact, the new generation of Highlander has already been listed overseas, so there will be no new surprises in the body size of this model.

  Then, in the case of being unable to change their own size, neither Highlander nor Lu Fang can match the models in the medium and large SUV market. But it just so happens that FAW Toyota has the name Crown, and improving the strength of Lu Fang’s models is a breakthrough. Although the size of the new car is slightly weaker, it will definitely do better than some medium and large SUVs in terms of model configuration. In line with Toyota’s good product quality, coupled with Highlander endorsement, and the blessing of a name like Crown, "Crown-Land Fang" Do you think it doesn’t smell good?

 Sales of Highlander models from 2020 to 2021 month monthly sales volume year-on-year growth rate 2020-03 7184 2.9% 2020-04 7333 -2.3% 2020-05 8530 -11.0% 2020-06 8998 4.6% 2020-07 8555 11.8% 2020-08 7777 2.6% 2020-09 8984 -7.0% 2020-10 8967 2.0% 2020-11 9318 4.0% 2020-12 8324 2.8% 2021-01 11499 13.0% 2021-02 4642 300.9%

  From the perspective of market sales, GAC Toyota Highlander has a very mature market foundation. According to Autohome big data statistics, Highlander’s annual sales in the 2020 epidemic year were 95,304 vehicles, accounting for 12.46% of GAC Toyota’s total sales; even if it is about to be replaced, sales in January 2021 still reached 11,499 vehicles; while Honda Guandao’s annual sales in 2020 were 52,619 vehicles; cross-level Volkswagen Touon’s annual sales in 2020 were 53,028 vehicles, all of which were defeated by Highlander, so Lu Fang has a very good opportunity.

  Then FAW Toyota’s introduction of the Crown Land Release is definitely the right thing to do. In terms of entry-level models and mid-range models, it has made configuration differences with Highlander, and continues to expand its market share of medium-sized SUVs; mid-to-high-end and high-end models have started from scratch, using Crown-Land Release to play high-end quality, to compete in the market of medium and large SUVs, aiming at Volkswagen Touon, Ford Explorer, Buick Angkeqi and other models, while giving consumers more choices. In the future, whether it is because of quality, configuration, or feelings, face, Toyota can satisfy you.


● What can "land release" bring to consumers?

  From a product perspective, this is a brand new model, the same as the Highlander but may not be the same. The new Highlander has been listed overseas. Through the overseas version of the model, we can know that the new car is still positioned as a seven-seat medium-sized SUV, and will also provide 5-seat versions and other models after listing. At the same time, in terms of appearance, FAW Toyota Land Rover is likely to adopt the appearance of the US version of the Highlander XES, with a polygonal air intake grille, a sharp headlight set, a large-size heat dissipation opening design for the front surround, and the design of the fangs on both sides to further increase the momentum of the new car. Compared with the current Highlander, it will be more fashionable and dynamic and younger.

  From the side, the new car will re-characterize the body lines to make the visual effect of the real car look bigger. The front and rear fenders slightly protrude from the body to form a wide-body feeling, with rough eyebrows and large-size rims with dense radios to further enhance the new car’s aura. At the rear of the car, the taillights of the new car are also more narrow and long, and the rear enclosure is clearly layered, and a visual effect similar to a diffuser is made.

"The picture shows the American version of Highlander XSE"

  The overall workmanship of the new car has been blessed by the TNGA architecture, and the quality is also more high-end. After entering the country, the chassis of the new car will also be localized in terms of driving texture according to domestic road conditions. In terms of power, the land will use a hybrid system composed of a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine and an electric motor. The power parameters are currently based on MIIT’s declaration information. The maximum power of the new car is 192 horsepower, and a high-power version may be provided in the future. In addition, the current 2.0T engine may not continue to be used.

  Previously, we have made some real car interpretations of the new Highlander models overseas in 2019. You can learn a thing or two in advance through the following video:

More exciting videos are available on the Autohome video platform

Variety of models, more choices, more laughter, butIncreasing the price without increasing the price is really another matter.

  In the future, when the Land Release is officially launched, Toyota is equivalent to having three "Highlander", GAC Toyota Highlander, FAW Toyota Land Release and FAW Toyota Crown-Land Release. The expansion of the product line allows consumers to have more choices, and there may even be no more Highlander hard to find a car, crazy price increases. But after all, the output is limited, and the market demand is still growing, so the price and whether to increase the price are really hard to say. After all, Toyota Land Release bears the reputation of Highlander and the feelings of Crown. This effect must be 1 + 1 greater than 2, and there is no doubt that it will be a blockbuster.

  From the previous information,The FAW Toyota Land Amplifier will be officially launched around September 2021.At the same time, GAC Toyota Highlander will also be listed in this time period. It is believed that after the launch of new cars in the future, the highly competitive mid-sized SUV market will become more intense, and even affect the medium and large SUV market. North and South Toyota will each launch a new mid-sized SUV product, which will make the days of competition more uncomfortable, and will further enhance the product influence of Land and Highlander. In addition, FAW Toyota can also take this opportunity to re-establish its position in the SUV market, pave the way for the new Prado and Landcoolzer in the future, and let city SUVs and off-road SUVs complement each other. If this continues, I believe Toyota will perform better and better in the SUV market.

  We believe that Toyota Land Farm must be a good car, but there are prerequisites. To sum up, what Land Farm must solve is the positioning of the product itself, whether it is to make up for the market gap, increase the market share, cross-field competition, or regain brand prestige. Positioning accuracy is what FAW Toyota must pay attention to. If there is no problem with positioning, the price will naturally be adjusted according to the delineated crowd and market, which is complementary. After all, in this field, Highlander is really too dazzling. If Land Farm does not grasp the positioning and pricing, it is likely to be the second Toyota crown. (Text/Autohome Graduation)

Liu Qingyun was exposed to have a net worth of hundreds of millions of yuan, and his wife has good financial management and has not failed to speculate on real estate

  Liu Qingyun and Guo Aiming have always been model couples in the circle, but you may not know that they are also invisible rich couples in the circle. Recently, Hong Kong media broke the news that Liu Qingyun and his wife are worth billions (Hong Kong dollars, the same below), one of the most important reasons is that Guo Aiming has good financial management, and she has never lost in real estate speculation!

  Liu Qingyun has been in the film industry for more than 20 years, and has earned more than 50 million yuan for six films in the past two years, plus endorsement fees, and the income has reached nearly 100 million yuan. But the salary and advertising contracts alone are not enough to make the Golden Horse Best Actor into the ranks of billionaires. Marrying a good assistant is king.

  Guo Aiming is the most educated Miss Hong Kong champion in Hong Kong over the years. He has a master’s degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Southern California in the United States. He is a veritable "beauty and wisdom". According to Hong Kong media reports, Liu Qingyun is not good at financial management, while Guo Aiming is quite smart in this regard. Since 1994, they have purchased multiple properties in the name of companies and individuals, and they can make a lot of money every time they change hands. According to the data, since 1994, they have owned 6 residential units, 5 have been sold, and one of the old houses has made more than 3 million when it changed hands. Since last year, Guo Aiming has started investing in shops and made nearly 3 million. Overall, in terms of investment property alone, Guo Aiming has earned more than 10 million yuan for her husband. With the addition of more than 30 million yuan in the property they now own, it is conservatively estimated that Liu Qingyun and his wife will already be among the billionaires.

  It is important to get the right wife

  There are not a few examples of "husband is expensive by wife" in the entertainment industry, and there are female stars with good luck and them:

  After Qiu Shuzhen married I. T founder Shen Jiawei, Shen’s business grew bigger and bigger, with more than 120 stores in Hong Kong and a net worth of more than 3 billion yuan.

  After Lin Qingxia married Xing Li Huoyuan, chairperson of Esprit Global, the company’s share price rose all the way, and the market value exceeded 160 billion yuan.

  ● Li Zhi, after Li Lianjie married Li Zhi in 1999, his career took it to the next level. In 2002, "Hero" created the highest box office record for Chinese movies in the world, and the subsequent "Cast Name" won Li Lianjie the title of Hong Kong Best Actor.

  Fan Jiang, Zhong Zhentao and Zhang Xiaohui declared bankruptcy after their divorce. Fortunately, Fan Jiang supported him. After the bankruptcy order ended in 2006, he published an autobiography, sang a song, and was reborn as a salted fish.

"Wheat Field" crew




  The 13th China Film Awards Ceremony was held on August 29 at the Beijing Exhibition Hall Theater. The entire cast of "Wheat Field" was invited to attend in full costume. Director He Ping and the president of the film distribution company Poly Bona Yu Dong led Fan Bingbing, Huang Jue, Wang Xueqi, Du Jiayi, Wang Ji and Wang Jiajia to appear on the red carpet of Huabiao, which can be described as a huge and dazzling star.

  The main creators of this film all appear with personalized styling: retro-style evening wear, exotic-style headgear, floral cheongsam, post-modern collocation, heroic Mao suit, black and white suit, integrating ancient and modern Chinese and foreign fashion elements, becoming the focus of the red carpet.

  Fan Bingbing held a bunch of flowers from fans, which was particularly beautiful and drew screams from fans. In an interview with the media at the scene, she said that "the Huabiao Award is the highest award for movies by the government. It has been held for many years, and its position in the eyes of filmmakers is irreplaceable." Fan Bingbing believes that "a show that the audience loves is a good show."

  "Wheat Field" is based on the most famous "Battle of Changping" in the Warring States Period as the historical background. The scene is grand and desolate, and the plot is witty and humorous. It tells the story of a thrilling, bizarre and even crazy escape experienced by two ordinary soldiers. It is an extremely alternative costume war film.

  As another masterpiece of the period film, "Wheat Field" ingeniously shifts the lens from the big heroes and big figures of the past to the ordinary people in the war, and allows the audience to relive that period of history with a unique perspective. This "Wheat Field" is also another masterpiece that director He Ping has been brewing for six years. He Ping said: "The common people and ordinary soldiers are the most important participants and witnesses of war and the experiencers of fate." "Wheat Field" reflects the four new characteristics of the film directed by He Ping: epic, ancient, war and comedy. The creators unanimously commented that the drama is very black humor, and "Wheat Field" is destined to be one of the most anticipated works by audiences in 2009.

  "Wheat Field" will be released nationwide on September 28, 2009, bringing audiences a spectacular, a touch of humor, a touch of emotion, and a burst of laughter on the 60th anniversary of National Day.

Hu Ge was questioned in "County Party Committee Courtyard" for not having acting skills? Although the talent is average, it has always been improving

Written by Wang Xiaogun, directed by Kong Sheng, and produced by Hou Hongliang, starring Hu Ge, Wu Yue, and Zhang Xincheng, "County Party Committee Courtyard" is being broadcast in full swing on CCTV.

With such a luxurious and amazing lineup, the audience rating of the drama went LIVE broke through two on the first day, breaking the record of the annual champion "Human World" and winning the best result of the first day broadcast of this year’s CCTV set. The dazzling results have also caused various controversies on the Internet, such as whether the life of grassroots cadres shown in the drama is real or not, whether the working environment within the system suffocates everyone, and whether the work of ordinary people is so difficult to do. A series of related discussions around the plot have been hanging on the hot search for several days.

In addition to everyone’s attention to the plot, the actors’ performances were also important. Especially the male protagonist Hu Ge, after all, this was his work that had not been in the TV series for five years. Before leaving, the "Langya Ranking" left to the audience was his transformation and the work of apotheosis.

In the new drama, he challenges himself to play a cadre and serve as the head of a county. The drama sets him up as a young cadre with a great future. In the face of the old fritters who have been in the officialdom for many years in the county party committee courtyard, this forces Hu Ge to mediate in front of a group of old actors and actors, and he is always tense. Where he can’t catch the play, he can’t hang up.

Of course, fans who had seen the drama said that Hu Ge’s acting skills were delicate and true. However, there were also discordant voices. Some netizens posted on Douban that Hu Ge had no acting skills at all. And this post actually received more than 5,000 likes on an unpopular website that basically didn’t have many people working. People couldn’t help but feel surprised. Could it be that Hu Ge’s acting skills have been blown out for so many years?

Let’s talk about the conclusion first, and give Hu Ge a pertinent evaluation of his acting skills, that is: more than enough.

This evaluation, as long as you look at his acting career, you can see it. The first stage is that Hu Ge plays freely and is invincible by his appearance.

Hu Ge, who was in his early 20s, met "Legend of Fairy Sword and Fairy Hero 1" and played the male lead Li Xiaoyao. The remake of "Legend of Fairy Sword and Fairy Hero 1" will soon meet with everyone, but everyone agrees that no one is Li Xiaoyao except Hu Ge. Li Xiaoyao became Hu Ge, and Hu Ge also became Li Xiaoyao. At that time, Hu Ge was young and high-spirited, and even without acting skills, he could easily interpret Li Xiaoyao’s chivalrous and youthful spirit.

At the same time, most of the TV dramas filmed by Hu Ge were mainly costume idol dramas. Because of this face, he can play all the roles completely without thinking and without any skills. There is nothing wrong with generosity, but it will always make everyone feel a little embarrassed if they need delicate feelings. For example, "Flying Immortals", "Liaozhai" and so on are all from this time period.

Maybe God saw that this handsome guy’s career was going too well, so he deliberately arranged some hardships for him, so that he got into a car accident, and the injured part of the car accident was the face he depended on for a living. Li Xiaoyao once had more than 100 stitches in her big clear and transparent eyes, and now he came to the second stage of Hu Ge.

At this time, he knew that he could no longer rely on his face to eat, and he wanted to transform. Even though he was still attached to the Tang Dynasty at that time, and he was still filming ancient costume idol dramas, he learned to bravely lift his bangs. Therefore, the audience saw Hu Ge deliberately pretending to be ugly and playing the villain in "The Scar of the Sky in Xuanyuan". I can understand that Hu Ge wanted the audience to stop looking at his appearance and see his acting skills. However, in an ancient costume idol drama, there is nothing for the actor to exert depth. The two roles played by Hu Ge made people complain that they were pretending to be crazy and acting stupid.

Indeed, acting ugly did not mean improving his acting skills. Then, Hu Ge came to the third stage. He stopped filming ancient costume idol dramas, went to acting in plays, polished his acting skills, and got to know the team of Shan Ying, which was the predecessor of Noon Sunshine. In this way, "Langya Bang" was born.

Hu Ge made up with himself in this drama. He didn’t pretend to be ugly on purpose, but was instead personable, but he was no longer a young man who used to be high-spirited and save the common people, but a weak and scheming strategist. When the drama needed to really take care of it and use the scenes of deep performance, he did it, which won him a good reputation over the years.

Therefore, based on Hu Ge’s acting experience, he was indeed not a gifted actor who could be enjoyed by God. As soon as he debuted, he was able to perform accurately. At first, he did not plan to take the route of the powerful faction, but he was willing to take one step at a time, constantly changing himself and breaking through himself. Taking a step back, Hu Ge’s acting level may not be comparable to many old actors for the time being, but with time, no one knows if he will change again.

Hong Jinbao’s son or partner Lin Zhiling, Wang Baoqiang was bombarded for "piracy"

  Movie Network News(Photo/Shanghai Film Festival Report Team) On June 17, another kung fu masterpiece "Cai Lifu" appeared at the 13th Shanghai International Film Festival. Directors Huang Mingsheng, Lo Huide, and Hong Tianzhao, son of actor Hong Jinbao, attended the film launch. At the meeting that day, when talking about who is more powerful in kung fu between his father Hong Jinbao and Donnie Yen, Hong Jinbao’s son Hong Tianzhao exposed: "As a son, of course, I hope my father is the most powerful." And on the spot, it was revealed that his father Hong Jinbao’s soup-making skills are first-class. And the other "star second generation" of the film is not small, and it is more likely to partner with the beautiful woman Lin Chiling to star. Producer Hao Lin issued a call in support of the genuine version at the scene, pointing to Wang Baoqiang’s "playing Cai Lifu boxing is pirated".

"Star Second Generation" or partner Lin Zhiling, producer blasts Wang Baoqiang for piracy

  After Donnie Yen’s successful "Wing Chun" craze, "Southern Boxing" Cai Lifo will also enter the big screen. The main cast of this "Xingerdai" is still mainly based on kung fu. In addition to Hong Jinbao’s son Hong Tianzhao, another "Xingerdai" who attended the press conference was also from a long background, Liu Yongjian, the nephew of Liu Jialiang, one of Hong Kong’s most famous action actors and martial arts instructors. In addition, Jackie Chan also sent his son Jaycee to sing the theme song of the film, and his only apprentice in Japan, Ken Oyama, also joined "Cai Lifo". On the same day, director Lo Huide also revealed that the film’s heroine candidate is actively approaching Lin Zhiling, hoping to promote the combination of "handsome guy and beautiful woman".

  It is also the theme of Cai Lifo. Wang Baoqiang’s "Cai Lifo Boxing 2010" was launched before "Cai Lifo". When it comes to why he chose the same theme to shoot, the president of the Cai Lifo Ancestor Boxing Association said that the two plays have their own characteristics. "Cai Lifo" is an action fashion drama. Among them, the Cai Lifo Ancestor Boxing Association will send disciples to personally direct the actors’ action plays and participate in "Cai Lifo". And producer Hao Lin joked: "We have received strong support from the Cai Lifo Ancestor Boxing Association, and please support the genuine version." The film director Huang Mingsheng is an action director who has cooperated with Jackie Chan for many years and is also the best action director at the Hong Kong Film Awards. It is reported that Jackie Chan’s brother also has high expectations for "Cai Lifo".


Hong Tianzhao

  "My father in the film is a descendant of Tsai Lifo, and I was sent to study abroad when I was young, and later returned to China for the boxing gym," Mr. Hong said of his role, which will also be played by Mr. Hong’s son, Hong Tianzhao. Privately, Hong Tianzhao claims to be not idle because of the need to play boxing in the film: "I am currently practicing Tsai Lifo boxing. Tsai Lifo boxing is a very real style of fighting, and it will be very tiring every day."

  Asked which of his father, Hong Jinbao, or Donnie Yen, was better at kung fu in the "Ip Man 2", he said: "As a son, of course I hope my father is better. But they are all very contributing seniors, and the film has different styles, so there is no way to compare." As for whether "father and son go into battle together" has the confidence to beat "Ip Man", Hong Tianzhao said: "We don’t care about others, we just hope that we can do our best." As Hong Jinbao was filming on the set, he could not attend the event, but referring to the cooperation with his father, Hong Tianzhao said with a smile: "Dad, no one dares to bully me at the scene!" At the same time, Hong Tianzhao also revealed to the actors who were about to enter the group in advance that in addition to his acting skills, his father’s soup-making skills were also first-class, "Everyone has a good taste!"

At the end of the video is lending, and Aauto Quicker won a payment license to lay out the financial industry.

  Reporter Levin Fu reports from Beijing.

  Recently, the equity of a small loan company has changed.

  On March 21st, Guangzhou Local Financial Management Bureau agreed that Guangzhou Huaduo Network Technology Co., Ltd. would transfer 100% equity of Guangzhou Huanju Microfinance Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Huanju Microfinance") to Beijing Yunsuo Technology Co., Ltd..

  This also means that the online small loan license was pocketed by Aauto Quicker.

  In addition, on March 27th, Guangzhou Local Financial Management Bureau agreed to approve the change of senior managers of Huanju Small Loan.

  On April 2 nd, Su Xiaorui, a senior researcher at Suxi Zhiyan, toldThe reporter said that after obtaining the small loan license, Aauto Quicker is expected to enter the consumer finance business, and refer to the existing paths of Internet traffic giants, package it as loan products such as Aauto Quicker installment or credit payment products such as Aauto Quicker monthly payment, so as to seek greater scale growth in the financial field.

  Quietly buy

  According to the announcement, Guangzhou Huaduo Network Technology Co., Ltd. will transfer 100% equity of Huanju Small Loan to Beijing Yunzha Technology Co., Ltd. After the transfer, Beijing Yunsuo Technology Co., Ltd. holds 100% equity of Huanju Small Loan and becomes the main sponsor of Huanju Small Loan.

  In this transaction, Guangzhou Huaduo Network Technology Co., Ltd. is the parent company of Huanju Times, which was listed on NASDAQ in November 2012. Its business covers live broadcast, short video, games and other fields, and its core product is the interactive live broadcast brand "YY Live".

  Enterprise investigation shows that Huanju Small Loan was established in January 2016, and its registered capital reached 1 billion yuan in 2018, which was reduced to 500 million yuan in February last year. Huanju Small Loan used to be the main operator of YY Credit, which is a consumer finance platform, providing YY credit, loan, anchor loan, consumption installment and other products for users in various scenarios of YY.

  Through equity penetration, the ultimate controller of Beijing Yunzha Technology Co., Ltd. is Aauto Quicker Technology.

  It can be said that Aauto Quicker indirectly obtained a network small loan license.

  The reporter found that the platform of Aauto Quicker APP "My Wallet", a loan product, has made diversion for the piggy bank and other institutions. For example, clicking "Apply Now" shows that the piggy bank can borrow up to 200,000 yuan, with an annualized interest rate of 7.2% and interest-free for a limited period of up to 30 days.

  Aauto Quicker’s borrowing business does not directly involve risk control and loan issuance, but adopts diversion mode. Aauto Quicker displays the loan products of third-party institutions on its platform, and guides users in need to apply for loans from institutions. Users submit mobile phone numbers, supplementary information, etc., and the cooperative institutions are responsible for credit evaluation, approval and lending.

  As a short video platform, Aauto Quicker has a huge traffic base. With the license of online small loan, Aauto Quicker may be involved in risk control and direct lending, and conduct consumer loan business in compliance through self-support, joint loan and loan assistance.

  When the reporter bought the goods in the "Aauto Quicker Store", he found that the payment methods include skip WeChat payment, bank card payment, Alipay payment and credit card installment, and there are no products such as first enjoy and then pay.

Among them, the job requirements of product operation manager include "exploring the growth point of customer consumption according to different customer acquisition modes of financial credit products" and "planning and promoting the commercial operation of advertising around the financial industry".

  Total revenue increased by 20.5% year-on-year.

  According to the data of 2023 financial report, the total revenue of Aauto Quicker in 2023 reached 113.47 billion yuan, up by 20.5% year-on-year, and the adjusted net profit was 10.3 billion yuan.

  With the "short video+live broadcast mode", Aauto Quicker has formed a distinctive "old iron economy", which combines content with e-commerce through private domain traffic operation.

  According to the financial report, the GMV of e-commerce business in Aauto Quicker increased by 29.3% year-on-year in the fourth quarter of 2023, reaching 403.9 billion yuan, and the average monthly paying users of e-commerce reached a new high, exceeding 130 million, with the annual GMV reaching 1.18 trillion yuan.

  According to many media reports, Aauto Quicker executives publicly disclosed in 2023 that the number of users watching financial-related content on Aauto Quicker APP reached 160 million times per week, and the conversion rate of financial advertisements was 19 times that of ordinary users.

  As a short video platform, Aauto Quicker has a strong traffic advantage and content monetization ability, and its recommendation algorithm can match users’ interests more accurately, making the content easier to reach the target audience and improving the conversion rate.

  "Aauto Quicker’s users are large in scale and high in stickiness, and it has a certain foundation for its own diversion business. Traffic is its advantage. " Wang Pengbo, Chief Analyst of Broadcom Consulting,The reporter said that the advantage of the loan-helping business is that it has accumulated over the years and has a better understanding of the industry gameplay. The scene platform has users and funds, and it is easier to grow bigger.

  In the competition of consumer credit market, consumer credit platforms that enter the market early often have the first-Mover advantage, and build barriers by accumulating users and establishing user loyalty. When users get enough quota, the motivation to switch to other platforms will be less. Because there is an upper limit on users’ credit, once users get consumer credit on multiple platforms, it may lead to "co-debt problem".

  Su Xiaorui believes that as a short video giant, Aauto Quicker’s traffic advantage is second only to platforms such as Tik Tok, and B-side businesses such as Aauto Quicker Xiaodian have become increasingly mature. From the customer base type, the customer base in Aauto Quicker is relatively sinking, and this group of people is just the long tail customer base corresponding to small loans in the financial field, which has potential in customer base positioning and customer base demand mining.

  With the scarcity of high-quality investment targets in the industry, Aauto Quicker has potential in developing financial business because of its huge user base and traffic advantages. However, the so-called "platform users’ qualification is relatively low" means that the user groups in Aauto Quicker may include more users with low income and low credit rating or white households with credit information, and this group may have a higher risk of financial default. Therefore, risk control and asset quality management in Aauto Quicker may become challenges when developing small loan business.

  "Aauto Quicker-based financial genes are relatively lacking, and it is suggested that it should be based on compliance, and fully learn from other traffic giants in the financial field and other clues to avoid repeating the same mistakes." Su Xiaorui said.

Foreign media look at global supercomputers: the performance of the strongest computer in the EU is only 2.5% that of China.

  Reference News Network reported on April 4 that foreign media said that the famous Top 500 ranking shows which countries have the most powerful supercomputers in the world. The United States has kept its position as a powerful computer superpower, with China occupying the forefront, while Europeans without their own technical foundation can only be vassals of the United States.

  According to the website of Austrian Anti-Party Magazine reported on March 30th, German Konrad Zuse invented the computer in 1937 — — Z1。 He later completed the Z3 in 1941, which was the first programmable computer in the world. The transistor was first invented and patented by Europeans.

  People may think that the computer industry must be owned by Germany — — At least it is dominated by Europe. After all, the inventor was German — — Europeans. No, that’s not the case. In terms of computer hardware, Europe can be said to be unqualified.

  According to the report, the performance of supercomputers is expressed in units of floating-point operation speed per second (TFlop/s). The most powerful supercomputer in Europe is Piz Daint of Switzerland, which ranks eighth, with a speed of 7788.9 tflops/s. This computer, which belongs to Swiss National Supercomputing Center, is produced by American Cray Company.

  The United States is strong

  According to the report, American computers frequently appear in the top 100, occupying the 3rd, 7th, 12th, 15th, 16th, 19th-21st and many other positions. Since the x86 division of IBM responsible for supercomputers was sold to Lenovo in China in 2014, the current ranking of IBM computers (4th, 6th, 14th, 54th and 68th) is shared by China and the United States.

  The United States occupies 31 places in the top 100. Because the rankings of other countries that use American processors are not counted, this figure does not reflect the real strength of the American computer industry (specifically, the chip giant Intel).

  According to reports, most supercomputers in Japan use Fujitsu processors. So is Japan very independent? Not exactly. Fujitsu is an R&D and production partner of Intel. Therefore, Intel’s genes also promoted the development of Fujitsu processors.

  According to the report, Europeans have no ability to succeed on their own in supercomputer technology. The most powerful supercomputer in Europe must be purchased — — Buy from America. Apart from Switzerland, Finland, Sweden, Britain and Germany are all customers of Cray. American computer companies do well in Europe. HP’s customers include Poland, France and Czech Republic.

  According to the report, there are also many computers in China in Europe. Lenovo and Huawei are famous Chinese brands in Europe. Italy and Germany are Lenovo’s customers. Lenovo has bought part of IBM’s computer business little by little in recent years. Therefore, in the past, the customers of "Blue Giant" became Lenovo’s customers. With the help of China — In the framework of cooperation between Central and Eastern Europe, Poland has become a close partner of China people, especially in the computer field. Poland’s supercomputers occupy the 48th, 90th and 92nd places in the top 100. The computer ranked 48th was purchased from Hewlett-Packard in the United States, but now it attaches great importance to cooperation with the United States and China.

  China processor is far ahead.

  The report said that in terms of supercomputers, China has not caught up with the United States — — But surpassed the United States. China occupies the 1st, 2nd, 42nd, 67th, 74th, 77th, 78th, 86th, 91st and 96th positions in the top 100 respectively. Tianhe-2, ranked second, still uses Xeon processors from the United States. Now this is a thing of the past.

  During this period, China people developed their own processors — — The Shenwei processor makes Intel’s Xeon look old. Top 500 ranked first in China Shenwei Taihu Lake Light, and its peak speed reached 125,435.9 tflops/s. The third-ranked American Cray Company’s supercomputer using AMD Opteron processor has a peak speed of "only" 27,112.5 tflops/s. This is roughly only 22% of the light of Taihu Lake in China.

  According to the report, the best supercomputer in the European Union is the Mistal in Hamburg (using American processors), which ranks 33rd, with a speed of 3,147.8 tflops/s, only 2.5% of the light of Taihu Lake. The most powerful computers in the European Union can only achieve 2.5% of the performance of China supercomputers by using American components.

  Now can you understand why Trump wants to make America great again? He is right to say so. In the field of computers, the technology of the United States is many light years ahead of that of Europe, but it is only ahead of Europeans, not China.

  Specifically, a giant battle, a battle between the United States and China, and a processor war between American chip giants AMD and Intel and Shenwei of China Jiangnan Computing Technology Research Institute have begun.

  According to the report, with the launch of processors such as Huawei Kunlun and FusionServer, another China company is also shaking the position of AMD and Intel. It should not be forgotten that Huawei and Intel have a technical cooperation relationship. With Intel’s genes, Huawei is now preparing to step out of Intel’s shadow and bathe in the sunshine of the computer industry independently.

  Europe’s achievements in the computer field are few and far between. Think about it, only such achievements can be achieved with American processors. In the field of computers, European technology is virtually the same as non-existence. This is a shame for Germany and Europe: they waste the advantages and great legacy created by people like Chuze.

Talk about innovation, talk about industry, and talk about the head of AI BAT appearing at the Zhibo Fair.

  On August 26th, the second China International Intelligent Industry Expo officially kicked off in Chongqing, and the mountain city once again set off a wave of intelligence. With the theme of "Empowering the economy and adding color to life", this year’s Zhibo Fair invited Nobel Prize winners, Turing Prize winners, leaders of the world’s top 500 companies and leading enterprises in the global big data intelligent industry to attend.

  Following the gathering of the last Zhibo Fair, Ma Yun, Ma Huateng and Li Yanhong, three Internet technology industry tycoons, will once again join hands to attend the fair, and put forward their views and imagination on the intelligent industry around the topics of "enterprise innovation", "industrial competition" and "artificial intelligence" at this year’s Zhibo Fair.

  The speeches of the three heads are full of personality. Ma Yun, who pays attention to sustainability, attaches great importance to the cultivation of the development source of innovative technology. In his speech, he proposed that "technology is developed, not regulated"; Ma Huateng, who is leading Tencent’s transformation, continues to speak for the industrial Internet, trying to attract more partners to make new "fist products" together; Li yanhong, a technical background, values AI landing, and his core views revolve around practicality and independent intellectual property rights.

  In the future, human beings will live by data.

  Ma Yun is one of the three entrepreneurs who has invested the most in education. In sharing, his views also revolve around the universal and sustainable development of people, cities and even technology, which is consistent with the concept of teaching without distinction and learning with each other in educational thought.

  Ma Yun’s speech started with social progress. He compared the difference between Chongqing and Silicon Valley, and thought that holding the Zhibo Fair in the southwest of China represented social progress. Regarding how the society will progress and how the city will develop in the future, Ma Yun borrowed from the residents in Guizhou mountainous areas to become a data annotator through data annotation training, creating a large number of employment cases, and proposed that in the future, human beings will live by data and find a place to communicate with data.

  In the current digital age, technology is playing a more beneficial and convenient positive role in regional development and personal growth. Ma Yun said that what leads the future is the wisdom of human beings behind intelligence, and suggested that "in the era of wisdom, technology and equipment should be spent on human progress and human feelings".

  Talking about macro-innovation, Ma Yun suggested that China has the opportunity to become a country on the Internet, but in comparison, there are not many enterprises like BAT, but fewer, and China should develop dozens of such enterprises. "We should not be afraid that innovative enterprises will become giants, but should worry that giants will not innovate."

  Ma Yun believes that the next 30 years will be an era of intelligence, and the modern service industry will become the dominant employment, the essence of which is the development of finance. Ma Yun talked about the three relationships of "intelligence+":in the era of intelligence, intelligent policies are needed, and all intelligent businesses must bear corresponding responsibilities. No one can be big without taking responsibility. He expects big enterprises and big innovations to contribute to solving social problems and future problems.

  Industrial competition has entered the era of "doubles"

  After a major organizational restructuring, Tencent has focused its business on developing the industrial Internet for a year. Ma Huateng’s speech at the Zhibo Fair mainly focused on the industrial structure, and the call for "doubles" released the signal that Tencent wanted to form an alliance with friends.

  Ma Huateng said that the main field of industrial competition is gradually changing from "singles" PK to "doubles" competition. The competition of physical industries is no longer a solo struggle, and various physical industries are combining with the information industry to form new partners to participate in the competition.

  Recently, Tencent has "rooted in the consumer Internet and embraced the industrial Internet", hoping to become an assistant for digital transformation and upgrading in all walks of life. Taking automobiles as an example, Ma Huateng mentioned that the automobile industry is facing a great change that has never happened in a century. The application of 5G technology, the landing of artificial intelligence, the replacement of new energy, and the governance of smart cities are promoting cross-border cooperation, especially the integration and innovation of information industry and automobile industry, and building a new car networking ecosystem.

  Ma Huateng believes that in the past few decades, the rapid development of China’s economy and industry mainly benefited from the extension expansion. In the next few decades, China must exert its innovation potential to achieve high-quality development. Therefore, today’s China industry needs more fighting spirit. "In the face of economic transformation and industrial upgrading, we need to constantly stimulate the innovation potential and create more fist products."

  Li yanhong

  Artificial intelligence can no longer "show off skills"

  The in-depth layout of artificial intelligence has always been the core strength of Baidu. "Artificial intelligence no longer pays attention to coolness, but pays attention to solid promotion and implementation." At the Zhibo Fair, Li Yanhong shared three suggestions on promoting and landing artificial intelligence based on the observation of the application and development of artificial intelligence technology.

  First, we should pay attention to safety and efficiency. Li Yanhong pointed out that from the perspective of safety and cost, the low-speed L4 in the driverless field will be realized before the high-speed L3. The reason why Baidu slowed down the speed is to ensure safety.

  Second, I hope to speed up the construction of infrastructure. Li Yanhong, who once worked on Wall Street, has a personal experience of Sino-US competition in science, technology and commerce. Focusing on the different development directions in the field of autonomous driving, he pointed out that China and the United States actually have considerable competition. The United States places more emphasis on bicycle intelligence, while China has advantages in infrastructure, and can add many devices on the roadside to improve safety and efficiency.

  The third is to make full use of open source and open platform. Li Yanhong said that China’s open source platform started relatively late, but it played a vital role in the development of artificial intelligence. He believes that the industry should fully realize that open source does not mean that everything is free, but self-controllable, and many open source things still need to be in the hands of others.
