Digital economy takes off | To develop digital economy, we should continue to do a good job in e-commerce.

Li Mingtao, chief e-commerce expert of China International E-commerce Center.

This year’s government work report proposes to "promote the development of digital economy and strengthen the overall layout of the construction of digital China" in the part of "deeply implementing the innovation-driven development strategy" of the government work task in 2022. Build a digital information infrastructure, promote the large-scale application of 5G, promote the digital transformation of industries, and develop smart cities and digital villages. Accelerate the development of industrial internet, cultivate and expand digital industries such as integrated circuits and artificial intelligence, and enhance the technological innovation and supply capacity of key software and hardware. Improve digital economic governance, release the potential of data elements, better empower economic development and enrich people’s lives. " Accelerate the development of China’s digital economy from infrastructure construction, digital industry breakthrough, promoting digital transformation to digital economic governance. In the process of promoting the development of digital economy, we should always adhere to market orientation, avoid invalid investment, and create a sustainable driving force for the development of digital economy.

In recent years, the rapid development of e-commerce in China has become "an important part of digital economy and real economy, an important engine to promote digital industrialization, promote industrial digitalization and promote governance digitalization, an important way to improve people’s quality of life, and an important force to promote national economic and social development". According to the latest data from the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2021, the national online retail sales reached 1,308.84 billion yuan, an increase of 14.1% over the previous year. Among them, the online retail sales of physical goods reached 10,804.2 billion yuan, an increase of 12.0%, accounting for 24.5% of the total retail sales of social consumer goods. At the same time, with the gradual decrease of the bonus of the increase in the number of netizens and the continuous improvement of the penetration rate of e-commerce, the development speed of e-commerce has also slowed down year by year. In the process of the development from consumer Internet to industrial Internet, the future development direction and growth space of e-commerce will inevitably focus on how to give full play to the advantages of e-commerce in accurately connecting consumer demand, promote the digitalization of traditional business activities, and serve the digital transformation, product innovation and brand building of the supply side. This is not only the inevitable trend of e-commerce itself, but also the first driving force for the digital transformation of traditional industries.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader attaches great importance to the development of China’s digital economy, and points out in the article "Constantly strengthening and improving China’s digital economy" that "the important task of building a new development pattern is to enhance the kinetic energy of economic development and smooth the economic cycle. Digital technology and digital economy can promote the rapid flow of various resource elements, accelerate the integration of various market players, help market players reconstruct organizational models, achieve cross-border development, break time and space restrictions, extend industrial chains, and smooth economic cycles at home and abroad. " We see that e-commerce has played an important role in smoothing the economic cycle at home and abroad. E-commerce has formed a unified online market, broken the time and space restrictions, promoted the rapid circulation of goods, information and capital by relying on active online consumption, established a fast direct channel between production and consumption by relying on platform ecology and data elements, and promoted the DTC of production and sales through C2M customization, which fully reflected the high efficiency advantages of informationization and digitalization, and greatly accelerated the social production cycle process of production, circulation and consumption. In recent years, a large number of "new domestic products" brands have emerged at an accelerated pace, which has become a typical representative of the transformation and upgrading of China’s manufacturing industry. These "new domestic products" brands have made full use of the advantages of e-commerce infrastructure to achieve omni-channel access to consumers, full-scene service to consumers and accurate customer orientation. At the upstream production end, they fully rely on domestic mature supply chain resources to carry out C2M customized production and rely on digital collaboration to achieve rapid product iteration. I should say,The digitalization of these enterprises is market-driven, customer-driven and demand-driven. Digitalization has become the gene of enterprises, showing great development vitality and strong competitive advantage. On the other hand, the role of cross-border e-commerce can not be ignored in smoothing the international and domestic double cycle. Cross-border e-commerce is driven by the escalating huge domestic consumer demand, and organizes global high-quality goods to enter the domestic market through the import supply chain, continuously releasing China’s economic growth dividend and driving global economic development; At the same time, the second curve of China’s foreign trade export growth will be created through cross-border e-commerce export. Relying on the advantages of being close to the market and demand, we can better organize the supply chain resources of domestic industrial chain, establish the China channel of online market, support the brand building of China and serve the global development of China’s manufacturing industry. Whether it is domestic e-commerce or cross-border e-commerce, it builds a new digital channel between domestic demand, manufacturing and service supply, and international demand. It constantly relies on its own digital advantages to strengthen its own industrial chain, promote the rapid flow and accurate matching of production factors, promote the digital transformation of business activities and scene innovation, and play a strong supporting and driving role in the development of digital economy.

For a long time, China has attached great importance to the construction of information infrastructure and vigorously promoted the application of information technology. The role of information technology in improving efficiency, improving management and optimizing configuration has become increasingly apparent. At the same time, however, the degree of integration between the real economy and digital technology is still far from enough, and the real economy urgently needs to transform from the initial digital application to the deep digital transformation. In this process, it is very important to identify the driving force for the deep digital transformation of the real economy. E-commerce has always been one of the industries with the highest degree of digitalization. It can play a leading role as a typical digital industry in the development of digital economy, and help the development of digital economy in all aspects, such as promoting the construction of digital infrastructure, helping smart cities and digital villages, serving the digital transformation of traditional industries, and exploring the data factor market.

First, it can continue to drive the construction of social digital infrastructure with the development needs of e-commerce industry. The rapid development of e-commerce has provided a strong demand traction for the construction of digital infrastructure in the whole society. For example, a large number of applications of rural e-commerce, especially live delivery of agricultural products, have driven the rapid popularization of high-speed broadband networks and 4G networks in rural areas, e-commerce platform enterprises have built or rented a large number of data centers, e-commerce warehousing has adopted a large number of Internet of Things applications, and e-commerce traceability has effectively driven the application of blockchain. In the future, the more diversified service mode of e-commerce and the need to enhance the online and offline integration of consumer service experience will definitely demand more abundant application scenarios for modern technologies such as 5G and broadband infrastructure, data centers, cloud computing, big data and virtual reality, and blockchain from the two levels of application breadth and depth.

Second, we can vigorously develop producer service e-commerce and promote the digital transformation of manufacturing industry. In promoting the digital transformation of manufacturing industry, e-commerce platform enterprises have accelerated their layout. Alibaba launched the "rhinoceros intelligent manufacturing" platform, which has achieved the rapid reverse production capacity of 100 pieces in the field of customized clothing production. SHEIN brand, which also focuses on the clothing export field, relies on its own front-end APP customer stickiness and intelligent product selection ability to build a production service platform for the clothing industry belt with Guangdong as the core, driving thousands of suppliers to develop small-scale customized production for the global market, with annual sales exceeding 100 billion, and has become the world’s leading fast fashion clothing brand. Vigorously developing producer service e-commerce can give full play to the advantages of the Internet, effectively organize scattered production and service resources in the industry, realize networked collaboration, promote industrial efficiency and resource reuse, break enterprise boundaries, expand industry services, and then drive digital management and intelligent production within manufacturing enterprises to meet new demands such as personalized customization.

Third, it can promote the development of industrial Internet with the application of industrial e-commerce. In essence, the application of industrial Internet should give full play to the advantages of large-scale and deep-level resource collaboration of the Internet, break the boundary between enterprise resources and assets, and realize the flexibility and intelligence of supply chain and industrial chain for the rapid change of market and product iteration. It can be said that the service and support of industrial Internet are still B2B-based e-commerce applications. Large-scale manufacturing enterprises actively develop industrial e-commerce service platforms, and intelligent manufacturing platforms such as Haier kaos Platform and Sany Heavy Industry’s Roots Interconnection Platform are committed to building industrial Internet integration platforms and empowering the industrial chain; At the same time, the vertical service e-commerce platforms of steel and silver e-commerce, Ouye Yunshang and other industries are also actively developing the supply chain digital intelligent empowerment service. The deep integration of industry e-commerce and industrial Internet will inevitably become the future development trend.

Fourth, the new e-commerce model can drive the digital transformation of the service industry. Mode innovation, scene innovation and format innovation have always been the important direction of innovation and development in the field of e-commerce. During the epidemic period, live e-commerce, content e-commerce, and community group buying grew explosively, and offline new retail also showed great development potential. These new models showed the great vitality and broad development space of China’s e-commerce industry and have become an important field for China to lead the global e-commerce application. In the direction of innovation, the deep integration with offline physical space and physical service resources has become the main trend. For example, shop broadcasting, factory broadcasting and village broadcasting in live broadcast have become the mainstream, and community group buying and offline convenience stores have been widely combined. The proportion of e-commerce applications of corresponding traditional service enterprises has also continued to increase, and a large number of traditional service enterprises have been effectively promoted to achieve smooth digital transformation through the increment of new e-commerce models.

Fifth, continue to vigorously develop rural e-commerce to promote rural revitalization. Rural e-commerce is guided by meeting the online consumption of rural people, focusing on the upward sales of characteristic products in rural areas and the development of rural cultural tourism resources, which has played an irreplaceable role in promoting rural consumption, helping farmers increase their income and promoting industrial integration in rural areas. Continue to vigorously develop rural e-commerce, improve the e-commerce infrastructure conditions in rural areas, and create a new impetus for the sustainable development of rural e-commerce, which will also become a powerful starting point for promoting the construction of digital infrastructure in rural areas, developing rural digital economy, and helping rural revitalization.

Sixth, we can explore the open development of the digital factor market through e-commerce big data. E-commerce big data is now one of the most mature big data application fields. Major e-commerce platform enterprises have accumulated a large amount of e-commerce transaction data, and they are also actively exploring the open application of e-commerce big data. For example, Alibaba’s new business operating system and JD.COM’s open supply chain services are all based on its massive big data support, and it has become an important trend for e-commerce platform enterprises to open up and develop. Therefore, through policy guidance and support, we can continue to encourage the opening of e-commerce big data, support the development of third-party data service industry based on e-commerce big data, further form a good e-commerce big data service ecosystem, and give play to the demonstration and linkage effect of industry data opening.

Cross-border e-commerce empowers the industry to bring high quality to the sea.

On August 18th, 2024 China (Guangzhou) Cross-border E-commerce Fair (hereinafter referred to as "Cross-border Fair") came to an end. Near the closure, Liu Gang, the founder of the cross-border spot alliance of Zhongshan Lighting Factory, finally breathed a sigh of relief from his busyness. Looking back on the three days of participation, Liu Gang said: "The negotiation area is packed, and more than a dozen buyers have reached cooperation intentions."

In the live broadcast room, Jack (a pseudonym), an anchor from Britain, gushed about the sweeping robot made in China. "The audience is enthusiastic! I like to recommend good quality products to friends all over the world through live broadcast. "

For the participating suppliers, this is a "feast": Ms. Wang, who has been engaged in foreign trade business for many years, took the first step of "getting an electric shock" and initially finalized the cooperation platform and service providers in all aspects; Zhongshan Lighting, Foshan Home Furnishing and other industrial belts participated in the exhibition, and jointly expanded overseas markets through cross-border e-commerce.

For exhibitors and service providers, this is a stage for "showing" new ideas: Amazon opens stores around the world with one-stop high-quality sea-going solutions; Ali International’s AI foreign trade product upgrade has greatly lowered the threshold for users; SHEIN (Xiyin) launched the "semi-hosting" mode, which has attracted the attention of many sea sellers.

According to the organizer’s statistics, the cumulative number of visitors during this cross-trade fair exceeded 56,000, an increase of 31,000 compared with 2023, with an increase of 123%. It has become a national cross-border e-commerce exhibition with the largest number of participating platforms, the most concentrated head platform and the most complete industrial chain among similar exhibitions in China.

From going it alone to "holding a group" to going out to sea, from barbaric growth to compliance management, from traditional European and American markets to emerging markets … Through the fiery observation of industry trends across trade fairs, cross-border e-commerce has stood at a critical juncture after ten years of standardized development, and is heading for higher quality development.

"Holding a group" goes out to sea to become the mainstream

Cross-border e-commerce empowers industrial belt development

Retro-style fan lamps, simple wall lamps and dazzling chandeliers … Walking into the booth of Zhongshan Lighting Factory’s cross-border spot alliance of nearly 200 square meters, all kinds of exquisite lighting products are dizzying.

Zhongshan’s "Lamp Capital Manufacturing" is famous all over the world. In recent years, the traditional main markets for lighting export, such as Europe and the United States, are affected by high inflation and destocking cycle, and traditional trade factories are facing transformation pressure. Liu Gang observed that the lighting products exported to Europe and the United States are bulky, the price of single products is relatively high, and the product styles are rich. If enterprises use containers to go to sea in the traditional way, the logistics and overseas storage costs are high, and it is difficult for a company’s products to meet all the needs of consumers.

"Spot-this is the key word most consulted by customers at cross-trade fairs." Liu Gang observed that cross-border e-commerce has reshaped the consumption habits of consumers around the world, and the process of traditional foreign trade from distributor procurement to overseas listing has been several months, which has been unable to meet the market demand.

The cross-border spot alliance of Zhongshan Lighting Factory initiated by Liu Gang solved these pain points through "holding the group". Taking the American market as an example, the different products of the alliance member enterprises are "assembled" to the local warehouse, and then the distributor provides the spot service.

This supply chain front-end approach also brings benefits to manufacturers. Manufacturers will ship a small number of new products abroad to "test the water". Once the sales volume is good and qualified for explosion, they will increase production, effectively reducing risks and improving profits, and opening up new development space for Zhongshan lighting industry.

The reporter observed that it is becoming an important trend for cross-border e-commerce to deal with overseas market risks by combining the characteristics of regional industrial belts.

Guangdong is rich in industrial belt resources. Cross-border e-commerce, as a concrete manifestation of new quality productivity in the trade field, has effectively promoted the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry, constantly empowered industrial development, and "cross-border e-commerce+industrial belt" has been strongly combined to form a good "chemical reaction".

During this cross-trade fair, the Guangdong Provincial Department of Commerce released seven exemplary and representative "cross-border e-commerce empowerment industry development and innovation cases", including: SHEIN’s "Hope Gravitation" million sellers and the national 500-city industrial belt going out to sea plan, Hongteng Group’s Xiaoyan cloud platform empowering toy industry to go out to sea, Doraemon’s cross-border e-commerce empowering digital Silk Road and so on.

Zhao Xin speed skater, a partner of Guangzhou Doraemon Technology Co., Ltd., paid special attention to the opportunities of going to sea in the industrial belts such as clothing, toys and household appliances. "We are deeply involved in the Middle East market. Through the analysis of sales big data and the in-depth understanding of social culture by the local R&D team, we have successfully transformed Guangdong’s inexpensive products into" explosive products "in the Middle East market. In the first half of this year, 153 products have been transformed, with sales approaching 400 million yuan. "

Take the French fries machine as an example. In the past, the products exported by manufacturers to Europe and the United States could only fry 3-4 people, but the families in the Middle East countries were large, so Doraemon’s joint suppliers carried out all-round transformation of the products. "Now this product has exploded in the Middle East and can sell one or two thousand units a week." Zhao Xin speed skater said.

Guangzhou Baomi Technology Co., Ltd. focuses on the export of large pieces of furniture, putting products in overseas warehouses, and delivering them to consumers after the platform receives orders. Tang Weiwei, the company’s chief financial officer, introduced that through digital empowerment, the company formulated production and management standards for export products, reduced the risk of returning large furniture, and realized the "small order and quick response" model in the furniture field.

"At this year’s cross-trade fair, government organizations from other provinces brought more industrial belts. Local governments pay more and more attention to the development of industrial belts and vigorously support local cross-border e-commerce, forming a virtuous circle and promoting industrial upgrading. " Chen Danfeng, chairman and general manager of Fujian Huiyuan Culture Development Group Co., Ltd. said.

Taking Xinjiang exhibition area as an example, Urumqi, Horgos and Alashankou cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test areas were collectively unveiled, and 23 key cross-border e-commerce enterprises displayed various Xinjiang specialty products. Chinese-funded foreign exchange earning (Xinjiang) Digital Technology Co., Ltd. has received cooperation intentions from many enterprises. "We are committed to helping domestic enterprises enter the Central Asian market, and China manufacturing is extremely competitive in the local area." Yang Zeliang, general manager of the company, said.

The reporter learned that the Xinjiang delegation participating in the exhibition has docked more than 1,000 partners and reached an intentional cooperation agreement with an amount of more than 8 million yuan.

Big platform brings forth new ideas.

New mode and excellent service drive industry upgrading.

"How to cross the language barrier in cross-border goods selling", "Can AI help us to get new products quickly", "We are not in the clothing industry, can we also adopt the mode of" small orders and quick reaction "…… At this cross-border trade fair, the booths on the head platforms of various cross-border e-commerce companies are very popular, and the sellers who come to consult are in an endless stream.

This year’s cross-fair head platform is gathered together, which is the exhibition with the largest number of participating platforms, the most concentrated head platforms and the largest participation investment among similar exhibitions in China. Nearly 40 cross-border e-commerce platforms, such as Amazon Global Store, TikTok Tiktok, Wal-Mart and eBay, participated in the exhibition.

Entering the booth of Ali International, new applications such as AI business assistant and AI customer service attracted the attention of many sellers.

"Since the beginning of this year, we have observed that global trade is entering a new round of growth, and the online trend brought about by technology is more significant." Qiu Zongbing, general manager of Nanyue Region of Ali International Station, told the reporter that the application of AI in foreign trade has increased rapidly. There are 30,000 small and medium-sized enterprises around the world ordering to use AI tools of Ali International Station for foreign trade, and the overseas exposure of products optimized by AI has increased by 37%.

Qiu Zongbing introduced that since last year, Ali International Station has taken the lead in launching a series of AI foreign trade products, simplifying the complicated workflow of foreign trade, and using intelligent methods to allow merchants to quickly release goods, generate product descriptions and maps, and even conduct AI business negotiation reception.

"Our salesman and AI have PK, and the last link of the salesman takes about 20 minutes, and AI only takes two minutes." Lv Hongwei, co-founder of Hebei Hangfa Technology Co., Ltd., said that the tedious and repetitive work of distributing products is basically handed over to AI business assistants.

At this year’s cross-trade fair, Amazon opened a shop around the world with a one-stop high-quality sea-going solution, and through the overall solution of Amazon supply chain, it helped sellers to directly deliver goods from manufacturers to customers all over the world in one stop.

SHEIN’s unique dual mode of "independent brand+platform" has attracted the attention of high-quality supply chain enterprises and brand merchants.

"We have a perfect supplier management and training system to provide all-round support for suppliers and achieve win-win cooperation." At this cross-trade fair, the investment promotion personnel introduced the supplier training mechanism of SHEIN’s own brand, which enabled suppliers to grow and enhance their competitiveness in all directions.

Specifically, for the probation supplier, the teaching specialist of SHEIN’s own brand will teach one by one, and carry out professional guidance with "pit-avoiding cheats" to let new suppliers get started quickly; For the growing suppliers, we should cultivate them from the perspectives of supply chain integration, system support, operation and management, and gather the top resources sharing support in the industry to help them grow rapidly; For core suppliers, project-based training, resource focus and business empowerment will be carried out to promote them to become the benchmark of industry suppliers.

"The head platform of cross-border e-commerce is constantly innovating in technology and mode, which makes the threshold and cost of cross-border business lower and lower, and also makes more good products made in China go global. The technical threshold has been lowered, but the full competition in the industry also poses a higher challenge to the seller’s business thinking, product selection strategy and operational ability. " Chen Danfeng said.

Grab the beach in emerging markets

Expand the blue ocean by combining industrial advantages

In recent years, overseas emerging e-commerce platforms have emerged and grown rapidly. Shopee, Lazada, Mercado Libre and other platforms have developed strongly in Southeast Asia, Latin America and other markets, and they have also emerged at this cross-trade fair.

Entering the emerging platform exhibition area established for the first time in the cross-trade fair, 25 emerging platforms, including Jumia in Africa, Joom in Russia and Meikeduo in Latin America, have been unveiled, and sellers have more choices to go to the emerging market "Tuolanhai".

Coupang Kupeng is a cross-border e-commerce platform focusing on the Korean market. "In the past two years, the number of China enterprises stationed on our platform has increased significantly." The person in charge of the platform said that China products have a wide demand in the Korean market in recent years, especially consumer goods represented by 3C electronics, which are deeply loved by local young consumers. They hope to provide more support for China enterprises to go to South Korea.

Last year, eMAG, the largest e-commerce platform in Southeast Europe, officially entered China for investment. "At present, the number of China enterprises stationed on our platform has increased significantly. It can be seen that the Southeast European market is still an oasis for China sellers, which is also the biggest feeling of our participation in the cross-trade fair." Yang Jian, the person in charge of on-site investment promotion of the platform, said.

The rise of many emerging platforms has benefited from the huge potential and strong development momentum of emerging markets. The White Paper on the Development Trend of Cross-border Export E-commerce in China in 2024 released by Amazon Global Store shows that the compound annual growth rate of retail e-commerce in Latin America reached 29% from 2019 to 2023, showing a strong growth momentum, and Central and Eastern Europe also showed a vigorous development trend, with a growth rate of 28.3%. In addition, the Middle East and Africa also achieved 27.1% growth, and emerging markets are becoming a new world of cross-border e-commerce.

On the other hand, the development of cross-border e-commerce in emerging markets has also brought fire to video delivery, live delivery, low-cost group purchase and other formats.

"With the popularity of short video platforms such as TikTok in Tik Tok, more and more businesses are paying attention to and investing in overseas short video platforms. Especially in emerging markets such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Russia, there is still a lot of market space to be explored. " Justin, founder of Cyberlack platform focusing on cross-border e-commerce marketing services, said.

The RCEP Country Guide for Cross-border E-commerce (Going to Sea) compiled by Guangdong Network Business Association puts forward that products such as clothing, 3C, beauty cosmetics and daily chemicals have become the mainstream in RCEP member countries, which is highly coincident with Guangdong’s advantageous industries.

Taking advantage of the development of cross-border e-commerce, Guangdong enterprises have increased their layout of emerging markets. Ruida Electronics from Dongguan is a traditional foreign trade enterprise with a history of more than 30 years, and its orders mainly come from Europe and America. "In recent years, traditional channels have been affected by multiple factors and the competition has become more intense." The business manager of the company said, "Through cross-border e-commerce, we have opened up customers from new markets such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East and India, and in recent years, we have maintained sales growth of more than 15% every year."

Concentric with users and walking with the times Haier Zhijia leads China home appliances to the world.

  On the day of the visit to Haier, the sun shone on the visitors of (), which was warm and comfortable.

  Since its listing, Haier Zhijia’s operating performance has continued to grow steadily. The company’s revenue increased from 795 million yuan in 1993 to 261.428 billion yuan in 2023, with a compound annual growth rate of 20.6%. The net profit returned to the mother increased from 69.5145 million yuan 30 years ago to 16.597 billion yuan in 2023, with a compound annual growth rate of 19.3%.

  With the growth of performance, Haier Zhijia returns investors with "real money and silver". The company has accumulated 29 cash dividends, totaling 37.159 billion yuan, with an average dividend rate of 34.1%, showing a vivid picture of paying equal attention to performance and feedback.

  Haier Zhijia has grown into a global industrial giant. In the first half of this year, the company achieved overseas revenue of 70.824 billion yuan, and the overseas business income accounted for more than 50%.

  From a small factory on the verge of bankruptcy to a global home appliance giant, what is the key to Haier Zhijia’s successful cycle and steady growth?

  Recently, a series of activities of "Know My Listed Companies-Enter the Blue Chip" jointly launched by shanghai securities news and CSI Small and Medium Investor Service Center entered Haier Zhijia to visit and decode the company’s stable and far-reaching development.

  Small innovations make a big river.

  Haier Zhijia has deeply cultivated scientific and technological innovation, accelerated the development of new quality productivity, upgraded to high-end, intelligent and green, and continued to provide users around the world with home appliances that meet their needs, customized smart and convenient lives, leading the experience leap of users’ lives and realizing the overall leadership of high-end brands, scene brands and eco-brands.

  Walking into Qingdao Haier Zhijia Central Air Conditioning Interconnection Factory, the busy production line roared, but there were few workers in the whole factory. Blue slogans hung on both sides of the workshop, simple and eye-catching.

  What impressed the reporter was that each workstation basically had a display screen, which recorded the sharing of cases such as "Today’s Star" and "Maker Star", which is a scene that other enterprises rarely see.

  "The maker star of the central air-conditioning interconnection factory, Zhang Shanguang; Innovate the name and improve the automation of paint mixing. " On the right of Zhang Shanguang’s smiling photo is a brief introduction of the maker star and innovation. A display screen with a keyboard is hung on an orange iron square pipe, which reads the words "Today’s Star of Connected Factory: Lu Fengfeng" and "Incentive Classification: Quality".

  The reporter learned from the case shared by "Today’s Star" that when maker Lu Fengfeng connected three pipelines in the shopping mall, he found that the insertion depth of the pipe group was inconsistent. He immediately checked the pipe group and found that the pipe group had not determined the site, and timely stopped the problem and self-checked, which prevented the problem from worsening. The employee is serious and responsible for the quality, and the company praises the employee.

  "The second inspection process is the pressure inspection station, which is also called the container inspection station. This is an improved workstation designed by employee Zhao Rongjie, and the company named it after him-‘Rongjie Inspection Workstation’. " Tamia Liu, director of investor relations at Haier Zhijia, told reporters.

  According to reports, Zhao Rongjie cooperated with many parties to introduce the concept of new energy vehicle manufacturing into the pressure detection of central air conditioning, and created the industry’s first pressure vessel detection station with robot self-transportation, self-detection and self-diagnosis. After upgrading, the inspection room uses AGV to send the workpiece to the workstation, and uses the equipment and system for self-inspection, which improves the efficiency by 50% and realizes zero leakage of the shell and tube. After the station was put into use, Zhao Rongjie upgraded the helium recovery equipment used in pressure vessel inspection, developed system control software, and realized real-time monitoring and display of pressure control and pressure curve, and the inspection efficiency was improved by more than 50% again.

  Today, his name has remained in the former detection station, and "Rongjie Detection Station" has become the first pressure detection station in the industry to be replaced by machines.

  There are many "Zhang Shanguang", "Lu Fengfeng" and "Zhao Rongjie" in Haier Zhijia. Perhaps it is these countless streams of "makers" that finally converge into the sea of "scientific research" and become the true embodiment of Haier Zhijia’s insistence on "maximizing human value".

  Born global

  Looking back at the history of growth, a remarkable characteristic of Haier’s intellectual family is that it is "born with globalization".

  From the perspective of time, China’s home appliances can be roughly divided into three stages. The first stage is the product going out to sea. As long as foreign markets can be exposed to China products, it will be successful. Haier Zhijia, on the other hand, chose to start from the most difficult markets in Europe and the United States and compete with experts in order to quickly narrow the gap with enterprises in developed countries.

  At present, the company’s overseas business has entered a benign development period, and successfully achieved a global layout of multi-brand, cross-product and cross-region.

  According to Euromonitor statistics, in 2023, Haier Zhijia’s share (retail volume) in major regional household appliances markets in the world is as follows: it ranks first in the Asian market in retail volume, with a market share of 26%; Ranked second in the Americas with a market share of 15.8%; Ranked first in Australia and New Zealand with a market share of 14.6%; Ranked fourth in Europe with a market share of 8.8%.

  The relevant person in charge of Haier Zhijia told the reporter that the company has a global collaborative research and development system, established a global technology research and development mechanism, shared common modules and reuse technologies, and shared patents within the scope of compliance. At the same time, the company has also set up a global product development mechanism to coordinate global product cooperation and development, which can realize regional cooperation and supplement between product categories.

  For example, the development teams in South Asia and China were highly integrated, which lasted for 10 months, broke through the inherent product development model, and innovated the model from the aspects of team division, quality control, product verification, complementary resource advantages and cost control, and jointly completed the development task of HRT-683 refrigerator products, becoming the local mainstream differentiated mid-to high-end products.

  The company set up a global procurement committee to promote global procurement activities as a whole. The company has established an end-to-end global supply chain digital management system from market to supplier to production to logistics, and quickly adjusted the global production capacity layout in real time through intelligent algorithms, and the global factories shared and created intelligent manufacturing technologies to continuously enhance manufacturing competitiveness.

  In global collaborative marketing and brand promotion, the company operates a multi-level brand portfolio on a global scale, which can achieve global collaborative brand promotion. The company also promotes and introduces successful marketing strategies among regional markets around the world. For example, the company successfully copied some sales and marketing models in China market to Indian, Pakistani, Thai and other markets, which strengthened the company’s brand image and regional market competitiveness.

  In fact, Haier’s "attack on the city" overseas reveals an important change: China’s supply chain has got rid of the label of "world factory", and China enterprises are moving towards "China creation" through independent brand creation, technology accumulation and standard setting, becoming the global industry leader.

  Salad dressing integration

  Accompanied by globalization, Haier Zhijia’s excellent M&A integration ability. Haier Zhijia has been promoting cross-border mergers and acquisitions non-stop.

  "We sincerely welcome more than 4,000 employees of Carrier Commercial Refrigeration to join the Haier family." On October 8th, Haier Zhijia held a welcoming ceremony to complete the acquisition of Carrier Commercial Refrigeration in Mainz, Germany, said Li Huagang, chairman and president of Haier Zhijia.

  In December last year, Haier Zhijia announced the acquisition of the commercial refrigeration business under the Carrier Group.

  In July this year, Haier Zhijia signed relevant transaction documents with Electrolux Group of Sweden, and acquired 100% equity of Electrolux South Africa Proprietary Limited, which is engaged in water heater business in South Africa market, with an enterprise value of 2.45 billion South African rand (equivalent to 980 million yuan) and took over its household appliance business personnel.

  For Haier Zhijia, cross-border acquisition is familiar. In 2015, the company acquired Haier Group’s overseas white goods business (including Japan’s Sanyo Electric Company’s white goods business in Japan and Southeast Asia), in 2016, the home appliance business of General Electric Company of the United States, in 2018, Fisher & Paykel Company of New Zealand and Candy Company of Italy in 2019.

  In Li Huagang’s view, the globalization of enterprises must be the globalization of people and the globalization of corporate culture. "Haier adheres to the’ one person in one’ model, insists on the value of people first, and integrates people from different cultural backgrounds, calling it salad-style cultural integration. There are various vegetables in a salad, representing different cultures and different countries, but the salad dressing is unified, and the salad dressing is’ one person in one’. "

  In 2016, Haier Zhijia acquired GE Appliances without replacing a piece of equipment or dispatching any management cadres. It only did one thing, introducing the "one person and one person" model, stimulating the innovation vitality of all employees, and making the whole enterprise undergo earth-shaking changes. "Before the merger of Haier Zhijia, General Electric Appliances had been losing money for ten years in a row, but it turned losses into profits in less than two years after the merger. General household appliances have maintained double-digit growth continuously and have become the first home appliance brand in the US market. " Li Huagang said.

China’s intellectual property insurance business has exceeded 100 billion.

  ◎ Our reporter Cao Xiuying

  By the end of 2022, the national intellectual property insurance business has provided more than 110 billion yuan of risk protection for more than 46,000 patents, trademarks, geographical indications and integrated circuit layout designs of more than 28,000 enterprises. The first White Paper on the Development of Intellectual Property Insurance in China (2022) released on February 8th (hereinafter referred to as the White Paper) shows the transcripts of intellectual property insurance in China.

  Intellectual property insurance refers to the insurance that the insurer undertakes to pay compensation for the economic losses caused by insurance accidents when the insured carries out intellectual property activities such as the creation, protection, application, management and service of intellectual property rights. Bai Jianfeng, director of China National Intellectual Property Administration Intellectual Property Development Research Center, said that China has started to explore patent insurance related work since 2011, and intellectual property insurance has been developing continuously. In 2015, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued "Several Opinions on Deepening the Reform of System and Mechanism and Accelerating the Implementation of Innovation-Driven Development Strategy", and put forward the deployment requirements of "accelerating the development of science and technology insurance and promoting the pilot of patent insurance" in the central document for the first time. Subsequently, various intellectual property insurance policies were continuously introduced, which greatly promoted the development of intellectual property insurance.

  The white paper jointly issued by China National Intellectual Property Administration Intellectual Property Development Research Center and China People’s Property Insurance Co., Ltd. points out that China’s intellectual property insurance has covered almost all types of intellectual property, such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, geographical indications, layout design of integrated circuits, new plant varieties and trade secrets, covering all aspects of intellectual property creation, protection and application.

  Jiang Caishi, vice president of PICC P&C Insurance in China, said that China’s intellectual property insurance provides risk protection for specialized and new enterprises, enriches channels for the transformation and application of intellectual property, and promotes the innovation ability of SMEs.

  At the same time, the development of intellectual property insurance in China is also facing some challenges.

  Hu Junjian, deputy director of China National Intellectual Property Administration Intellectual Property Development Research Center, analyzed that intellectual property is an intangible asset. Compared with tangible assets, the evaluation and disposal of intangible assets are more difficult and the potential risks are more uncertain. Compared with other intangible assets, the influencing factors of intellectual property value fluctuation are more diverse, including not only the technicality of intellectual property itself, but also industrial development, scientific and technological evolution, international trends and other factors, which are highly dependent on the intellectual property operation ability and external environment of the innovation subject. Therefore, the evaluation of intellectual property rights is more complicated than the evaluation of tangible assets, which requires more appraisers and needs more and richer data and information analysis support.

  At the specific operational level, insurance companies also need to bear a higher "duty of care" than general property insurance in the process of product design and insurance review, and the risk of adverse selection is high. Developers need to accurately identify the potential value of intellectual property rights, realize the benefits of intellectual property rights transformation and application, and organically integrate intellectual property rights with insurance products, which puts forward higher requirements for insurance companies’ risk review and professional talent reserve.

  Hu Junjian said that influenced by these factors, intellectual property rights can be used as the object of financial products, which requires higher quality and transformation value of intellectual property rights. Although the quality of intellectual property creation in China is constantly improving, there are still a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises whose intellectual property management is not standardized, and the value of intellectual property has not been fully stimulated and transformed. Judging from the current practice of intellectual property insurance, the coverage of all kinds of intellectual property insurance products still needs to be further expanded. Many market participants still don’t understand the role and significance of intellectual property insurance, and they are still used to adopting traditional risk retention methods, which limits the development of intellectual property insurance to some extent.

  In view of these problems, the white paper suggests that we should constantly improve the working mechanism, innovate working methods, optimize risk prevention and control, and enrich insurance products and services. It is necessary to strengthen the coordination among all parties and strive to build a full-process service system for intellectual property insurance with inclusive attributes. It is necessary to continue to deepen the exploration of intellectual property value evaluation and improve the evaluation method and risk prevention and control level of intellectual property value. It is necessary to strengthen the capacity building of intellectual property insurance professional teams and institutions, carry out in-depth research and analysis of key needs and difficult issues, and promote the deeper integration and development of intellectual property and finance.

Building an "information blind road" to make information accessible to everyone.

  Not only the blind, but nearly 600 million people in China have obstacles in obtaining information.

  Li Hongli, born in 1990, is a visually and hearing impaired person. He overcame all kinds of difficulties through self-study and became one of the earliest full-time information barrier-free engineers in China. The picture is provided by the interviewee

  Many public welfare activities for the visually impaired will take the song "You are My Eye" by the blind singer Ricky as the background music. Many blind people are quite disgusted with this. People with disabilities, such as the blind, the deaf and the elderly, prefer to help themselves with the help of technology, information and other auxiliary means, rather than relying on anyone to be their "eyes" or "mouth"

  Everyone may face certain obstacles in obtaining information because of aging, sudden injury or language barrier. Information barrier-free construction can not only meet the needs of disabled groups, but also enable healthy people to enjoy its convenience.

  Recently, a blind singer told a story about his experience of defending rights in Weibo. Not long ago, he went to China Bank Shenzhen Shahe Sub-branch to apply for a debit card. After the staff of the bank confirmed that he was blind, he refused to accept it. Later, the bank publicly apologized to the singer for this matter, but the apology did not mention how to solve the problem of blind people going to the bank for business in the future.

  For the visually impaired, the singer’s experience is not special. Just a few days after he defended his rights in Weibo, another blind man went to Shunde Xingui Sub-branch of Agricultural Bank of China to handle online banking business. He was told that according to the document issued by Guangdong Head Office of Agricultural Bank of China, "blind people can’t handle online banking and all kinds of card business, but only passbook".

  After being rejected by China Bank, the blind singer came to China Merchants Bank Overseas Chinese Town Sub-branch, and the staff quickly helped him with the related business. He indicated that he intended to transfer all the money from China Bank to China Merchants Bank account.

  However, the blind Yang Yongquan is not so optimistic. He told Xinhua Daily Telegraph that he had applied for the credit card of China Merchants Bank, and the relevant procedures had been submitted online before. Finally, he needed to sign at the bank outlet for confirmation, but he was rejected by the bank because he could not sign because of visual impairment.

  Finally, Yang Yongquan went to China Construction Bank and Guangfa Bank to set up a credit card. Yang Yongquan’s family helped him sign the signature column, he pressed his handprint next to the signature, and the bank staff recorded the whole process on video. "So, what’s the use of just apologizing? There are ways to solve this and there are precedents. " Yang Yongquan told reporters.

  Because there is no uniform mandatory provision, no matter the four major state-owned banks such as China, agriculture, industry and construction, or commercial banks, different regions or even different branches in the same region have different attitudes towards blind people’s business.

  According to the statistics provided by Shenzhen Information Accessibility Research Association, 52% of the visually impaired people in China do not have credit cards. One of the main reasons is that banks require cardholders to sign their own names. This is easy for healthy people, but most visually impaired groups can’t do it independently, so they are rejected by banks.

  Nowadays, many financial services can be handled through the Internet and mobile APP, which saves most people the trouble of queuing at business outlets. This is even more important for disabled people who are inconvenient to travel. Some people with disabilities said that just as barrier-free ramps need to be built at the entrance of bank outlets for people with disabilities who use wheelchairs to enter, networks and mobile apps also need to set corresponding interfaces and optimize information accessibility, so that people with disabilities can enjoy Internet finance and other information services equally with healthy people.

  However, in recent years, the awareness of information accessibility in China has gradually improved. How has it been implemented?

  Banks are "unfriendly" and blind people regard buying lottery tickets as financial management.

  In fact, most blind people have jobs, and many people are starting businesses, so it is inevitable that they need to deal with financial institutions.

  Two years ago, Xinhua Daily Telegraph published a report entitled "Information Accessibility: Let the Blind" See the Expression Pack ",which introduced that visually impaired people can use social apps such as WeChat, take-away apps such as Meituan and shopping apps such as Taobao on their mobile phones by reading screens.

  Nowadays, with the efforts of some IT engineers, visually impaired people can also use QQ to grab red envelopes, and "see" emoticons through text description, and enjoy the fun of the "internet plus" era.

  Food, clothing, housing and transportation are only the most basic consumer needs. Disabled people, like everyone else, also have financial management and office needs. When the corresponding enterprises and institutions realize that there is such a special group among their service groups, they should take immediate action to carry out barrier-free transformation of products and services.

  Jiao Yigang chatted with blind technicians during massage, only to know that blind people also have financial needs, and it is not easy to meet them.

  The co-founder of Shunshou Technology is a marathon enthusiast. Every time he runs, he goes to the "Lao Wang Tuina" shop in the community for massage. When chatting with Lao Wang once, Jiao Yigang asked him how he spent all the money he earned. I didn’t expect Lao Wang to say that he spent a lot of money on lottery tickets every month, which was his main way of managing money.

  "haven’t you thought about managing your finances well and then expanding the size of the massage parlor to make your life better?" Jiao Yigang, who has been committed to developing a mobile internet financial platform, never thought that someone would manage money in such a "simple and rude" way. However, Lao Wang told him that for their visually impaired groups, the door of the bank is not easy to enter, and online banking and wealth management apps are not very friendly.

  This unintentional conversation left a deep impression on Jiao Yigang. When the wealth management APP "Notes on Hands" that they worked hard to develop got the C round of financing, he immediately asked the team to carry out information barrier-free transformation of the product and make "Notes on Hands" a wealth management APP that is easy for people with disabilities to use.

  "A popular concept in the field of Internet finance in recent years is inclusive finance. I think’ information inclusion’ is the basis for the realization of’ inclusive finance’. We must first enable all groups to share financial information equally. " Jiao Yigang said.

  According to a survey conducted by Shenzhen Information Accessibility Research Association on the financial needs of visually impaired people, among the surveyed groups, 57% of the visually impaired people will spend more than 1000 yuan on financial management every month, and 44% will invest in financial management through third-party payment platforms.

  On December 12th last year, when all commercial organizations were striving to create another consumption frenzy after "double 11", Penghua Fund launched the first information barrier-free financial management APP product in China fund industry-the barrier-free optimized "A+ wallet". According to Luo Xinqiang, mobile product manager of e-commerce department of Penghua Fund, after barrier-free optimization, most functions of this APP can be effectively read out after the screen reading auxiliary function of the mobile phone is turned on, so that the blind can easily use it.

  Previously, even if the voice assistant system of the mobile phone was turned on, the blind man touched the controls of the "A+ wallet" and read only a string of codes. For example, "more" will be read as "more/button"; In the payment process, "confirm" or "cancel" will only be recognized as "button". For the blind, it is impossible to complete the operation.

  "In the past, financial management focused on serving middle and high net worth customers, but almost everyone had financial needs, and many users’ financial needs were not met." Gao Peng, vice president of Penghua Fund, said that at present, the financial needs of people with service barriers are not enough, and Penghua Fund is willing to take the lead in the domestic Public Offering of Fund industry.

  Yue Lei, a blind singer, and his friends jointly founded Hefei Wuyinge Culture Media Co., Ltd., which specializes in training in the field of music and art. In order to start a business, he went to the bank to apply for a loan, but he was also stuck in the signing process. The bank told him that if he could not sign, he could go to the notary office for notarization. However, when he went to the notary office, the notary office also asked him to sign …

  Yue Lei, who is also the vice chairman of the Shushan District Blind Association in Hefei, told Xinhua Daily Telegraph: "People still don’t understand the visually impaired groups. In fact, not only do most of us have jobs, but many people are starting businesses. Because we study music and massage more, many people choose to open stores after graduation, and it is inevitable to deal with financial institutions. " Although most of the existing online banking and wealth management apps can be completed with the help of family members, Yue Lei still hopes to achieve completely independent operation. "After all, wealth management is directly related to privacy issues".

  After employment and starting a business, the disabled group will have the needs of office management in addition to financial management. Before August 2016, the smart mobile office platform that currently serves 5 million enterprise users was "nailed" to the visually impaired group of as many as 17 million people in China, but it was almost completely unusable.

  Shi Jiarui, the head of the nailed iOS&Mac team, learned by chance two years ago that there were also visually impaired users using their products, which made him feel incredible. It’s not only the blind people who use nails to make him feel fresh. The first thing he didn’t expect was: "Can blind people also use mobile phones? In my cognition, when it comes to blind people, I can almost only think of blind massage. " Shi Jiarui told reporters embarrassedly.

  As an IT technician who develops around iOS and Mac, Shi Jiarui has always known the auxiliary function of Apple’s mobile phone called Voiceover, but he didn’t know what its application scenario was before. He was "really ashamed" when he learned that visually impaired people tried to use Voiceover to use nails and encountered many obstacles.

  It took less than a month for the technical team to carry out the information barrier-free transformation of "Nail". Shi Jiarui told Xinhua Daily Telegraph that it was not difficult, just patience and care. "If I had known that there was such a group in use, I would have supported it earlier. In particular, if information accessibility can be considered from the beginning, there is no need for post-remediation to generate additional costs. "

  Internet giants such as Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent, which have been involved in information accessibility construction before, are constantly using the latest technology to improve the accessibility optimization of their products.

  For example, Tencent uses big data to enhance the OCR recognition function that can convert pictures into words, which can improve its description accuracy. Nowadays, people are keen to forward screenshots to each other on social media. Previously, it was difficult for the blind to figure out what the screenshots were, but now with the more accurate OCR function, the blind can also read the text and information in the screenshots.

  With the increase of media reports and the improvement of the awareness of rights protection of disabled groups, more and more institutions and enterprises are beginning to contact the concept of information accessibility and try to do something. On December 21st, 2017, internet society of china Information Accessibility Working Committee was established in Beijing. The first batch of members include more than 50 institutions and enterprises in various fields such as People’s Daily Online, Xinhuanet, Tencent, Alibaba, Baidu, Iflytek and Xiaomi.

  Huang Clarification, vice chairman of internet society of china and chairman of internet society of china Information Accessibility Working Committee, said that the main work of the Committee in the near future is to study and formulate technical standards for information accessibility of mobile intelligent terminals, and to promote consensus on information accessibility construction for government affairs, public services, commerce and other fields.

  Barrier-free is abnormal, and some software can’t be used once it is updated.

  Some enterprises only regard information accessibility as giving love and doing public welfare, and information accessibility has always been a dispensable thing.

  "In fact, there are always technical standards for information accessibility." Zhang Kun, chief expert of Shenzhen Information Accessibility Research Association, said that the relevant international standards were created as early as 20 years ago.

  In 1994, Tim Berners Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, founded the World Wide Web Alliance "W3C". As the most authoritative and influential international neutral technical standards organization in the field of Web technology, "W3C" established the Web Accessibility Promotion Organization as early as February 1997, and began to formulate a series of standards, specifications, detection methods and skills on Web accessibility, and cooperated with governments, enterprises and other institutions around the world to promote information accessibility standards on a global scale.

  There are similar provisions in the relevant laws and regulations of our country. For example, the Law on the Protection of Disabled Persons revised in 2008, the Technical Requirements for Accessibility in Website Design updated by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in 2012, the Outline of the 13th Five-Year Plan for Accelerating the Well-off Process for Disabled Persons promulgated by the State Council in 2016, and the national standard Principles for the Design and Setting of Public Information Guidance System Based on Accessibility Requirements implemented by the former AQSIQ and the National Standardization Administration Committee all contain information accessibility.

  "Unfortunately, although the relevant regulations have been published, there is little mention of disciplinary measures after violating the regulations. This lacks a mandatory binding force. " Zhang Kun told Xinhua Daily Telegraph that due to the lack of legal constraints, it is not necessary for many institutions, especially enterprises, to build information accessibility, but it has become a plus item and an optional topic.

  Especially in the early stage of development, many institutions selectively ignore the construction of information accessibility because of the shortage of funds or manpower. Even if some relevant remedies are made, the improved functions of the product are often covered again after the version is updated because the standards are not established and are not included in the normative process. Looking back on the information barrier-free construction in recent years, Zhang Kun believes that although the number of enterprises and institutions that understand this concept is increasing, on the whole, it can only be said that it is a "spiral upward" trend.

  In an interview with Xinhua Daily Telegraph two years ago, Li Zhongyang showed reporters how blind people use Didi to take a taxi. But now, he told reporters that not long ago, a version of Didi was updated, which caused some functions to be unable to be read aloud, which made the visually impaired group unable to use it. "We people can only tell each other: Don’t update the version!"

  In an interview, Shi Jiarui, who was nailed, constantly stressed to reporters that it is "a sentimental and meaningful thing for them to make barrier-free transformation for products, which has nothing to do with KPI." Gao Peng of Penghua Fund pointed out that the accessibility of "A+ wallet" is to fulfill the social responsibility of enterprises and to use their main business ability and financial technology level to carry out information poverty alleviation.

  For the barrier-free optimization of China Ping An’s official website, in the view of the relevant person in charge of the brand propaganda department of China Ping An Insurance Group, "Ping An Property & Casualty should fulfill its social responsibility and contribute to public welfare undertakings."

  However, in Li Zhongyang’s view, it is precisely because some enterprises only regard information accessibility as giving love and doing public welfare that they are influenced to take this opportunity to further optimize their products. "Because they always have the concept of charity, information accessibility always seems to be a dispensable thing. Today, this version has been changed, and tomorrow’s version has been updated and forgotten. Like a bear breaking a stick, it will not be done well. "

  In the United States, Australia, Japan, including Hong Kong, China and other countries and regions, the accessibility and equality of information resources used by disabled groups are also written into relevant laws and regulations. Enterprises that fail to do a good job in accessibility will not only face the trouble of litigation, but also be very likely to accept severe punishment.

  There have been hundreds of lawsuits about barrier-free technology in the United States, including not only providers of information products and services, but also providers of public entity services, such as Macy’s, Bank of America, Disneyland and so on.

  Under this pressure, relevant institutions have to take the initiative to consider information accessibility from the beginning of construction. "This will certainly increase the corresponding cost, but if it is done sooner or later, it is better to do it first." Zhang Kun made an analogy to the reporter of Xinhua Daily Telegraph. "Just like a residential building, if there is no elevator at the beginning of construction, it will have to be installed later, which will not only greatly increase the cost, but also destroy the infrastructure."

  The construction of information accessibility is not all trouble. Some enterprises have even tasted the sweetness from it, and regard information barrier-free construction as the driving force for innovation. In IBM, Microsoft, Facebook, Google and other enterprises, the foundation of information barrier-free construction is not public welfare, but research and development.

  Wang Fuming, who was the first president of IBM Global Information Accessibility Center, said that many employees in IBM are disabled. One of the totally deaf Russian engineers, because he can’t hear and speak, has a strong sense of innovation in order to let himself cross the obstacles he faces, and therefore has more than 300 invention patents. "He inspired me a lot, because his point of view and angle when solving difficulties are different from ordinary people, and this is actually a good opportunity for innovation."

  More than ten years ago, when IBM established the information barrier-free center, Wang Fuming, who was sent from the sales position, had no concept of information barrier-free construction. However, after working with the blind, deaf and other disabled people for a period of time and seeing their innovative vitality, she clearly realized: "Information accessibility is not just a public welfare behavior for disabled groups, but an opportunity for innovation and development, which is the long-term focus of enterprise survival and competition. Because the essence of science and technology is to overcome obstacles and solve problems. "

  Nearly 600 million people have different degrees of information access barriers.

  People with disabilities most want to help themselves with the help of technology, information and other auxiliary means, rather than relying on others as their "eyes" or "mouths"

  At present, the research on information accessibility is mainly based on helping four groups to overcome obstacles: visual impairment, hearing impairment, physical impairment and cognitive impairment, but the research is not limited to serving disabled groups, but everyone.

  According to the statistics of Tsinghua University Institute for Barrier-free Development, there are 85.02 million people with disabilities, 205 million elderly people and nearly 300 million people with low education (children and migrant workers) in China. The total population of nearly 600 million people has different degrees of information access barriers, accounting for nearly half of China’s total population.

  Many public welfare activities for the visually impaired will take "You are My Eye" by blind singer Ricky as the background music. However, during the interview, the reporter of Xinhua Daily Telegraph found that many blind people were quite disgusted with this. People with disabilities, such as the blind, the deaf and the elderly, prefer to help themselves by means of technology, information and other auxiliary means, rather than relying on anyone to be their "eyes" or "mouth".

  Yang Yongquan and his friends have developed a screen reading software called "Crossing the Crossing" together since ten years ago, which can be used by both the blind and the elderly who are dazzled. He told reporters: "Now when people talk about information accessibility, the first thing that comes to mind is the blind and the disabled, which makes this concept too narrow. In fact, the concept of information accessibility is very broad. Although it is more necessary for the blind, it applies to everyone. "

  "Like barrier-free ramps, although they are designed for disabled people who use wheelchairs, healthy people who push strollers and shopping carts can also use them. Barrier-free ramps can provide convenience for everyone." For example, Zhang Kun said, "When you go to a foreign country where the language is not fluent, if the information accessibility is not good, you can’t identify municipal information such as public transportation through icons, then you will immediately become a member of the’ cognitive impairment’. At this time, do you still feel that information accessibility has nothing to do with yourself? "

  He pointed out that everyone may face certain obstacles in obtaining information because of aging, sudden injury or language barrier. In particular, many countries and regions are facing the problem of aging, which will inevitably increase the social cost of providing for the aged. However, if the self-care ability of the elderly can be improved through the construction of information accessibility, the social cost of providing for the aged will be effectively reduced.

  More than ten years ago, an old man asked Zhang Kun to help him buy a computer. The request was very strange: it was mainly used for watching movies and listening to music, so it had to have pictures and sound, but it didn’t need to be able to surf the Internet, CD-ROM drive or keyboard. Zhang Kun said that he didn’t have this kind of computer and didn’t buy it for him.

  Ten years later, when tablet computers such as iPad went on the market, he realized that this was what the old man wanted. "So meeting the special requirements of disabled groups is actually the trend and direction of future scientific and technological development."

  "When products and services are continuously optimized for information accessibility, healthy people can also enjoy convenience. People want to operate more simply and lazily. " Li Weixing, vice president of Xiaomi MIUI Department, believes that "for this purpose, there is not much difference between disabled groups and healthy people, and the boundaries will become more and more blurred."

  A product manager of Xiaomi wrote on his blog: "Let everyone enjoy the fun of science and technology" put forward by Xiaomi is not an empty slogan. We need to fully consider the use of different people in product design so that anyone can use our products smoothly. " Therefore, in his view, optimizing products to support information accessibility is by no means doing good or even giving alms to any group, but just "being responsible for the products designed by yourself".

  Huang Qing, chairman of the Committee for Information Accessibility in internet society of china, stressed that at present, China is moving from a cyber power to a cyber power, and in order to truly benefit the 1.3 billion people in China, it is necessary to ensure that all groups, such as the elderly and the disabled, have equal access to information, which should be the development direction pursued by a society where everyone benefits and information is equal.

Before the "Eleventh", the scenic spot ushered in a wave of price reduction, but the intensity could be bigger!

  CCTV News:Before the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday and the "Eleventh" Golden Week, domestic scenic spots ushered in a wave of ticket price reduction. The National Development and Reform Commission recently revealed that as of August 29th, 314 scenic spots had reduced their prices or planned to reduce their prices, including 121 5A scenic spots and 155 4A scenic spots, which together accounted for nearly 90% of the total scenic spots with reduced prices. According to the statistics of the price reduction ratio, 30 scenic spots are open for free, 29 scenic spots are reduced by more than 30%, and 20%— 30% of 48.

  Among the scenic spots that have been reduced in price, the peak season ticket price of Slender West Lake in Yangzhou has been reduced from 150 yuan to 100 yuan, the peak season ticket price of Huashan Scenic Area has been reduced from 180 yuan to 160 yuan, and the peak season ticket price of Laoshan Mountain in Qingdao has been reduced from 245 yuan to 180 yuan, which is not small. However, there are also many scenic spots whose price cuts are not obvious, ranging from 10 yuan to 20 yuan. (Click for details: before the 11th, the prices of these scenic spots will be reduced (attached list))

  According to a survey conducted by the National Bureau of Statistics, 72.3% of the domestic scenic spot ticket prices are "too high" or "on the high side". The price reduction of scenic spots can be said to conform to public opinion, but from the perspective of the price reduction, most of the price drops are already more expensive scenic spots, and the fare is still around one or two hundred yuan after the price reduction. Can you reduce the price a little more?

  The overall ticket price of scenic spotsstillThere is still room for decline.

  As the holiday approaches, it is really exciting to hear such good news when everyone starts to make a strategy for travel.However, the price reduction of scenic spot tickets can actually be greater!

  If you look at the data carefully, you will find that there are many scenic spots that symbolically reduce the ticket price by more than ten or twenty or thirty yuan. Compared with the entrance ticket price of hundreds of yuan or even two or three hundred yuan, this strength is not great, and it can only be said that it is better than nothing in alleviating the pressure on tourists’ travel budget. In addition, although the price of some tickets has dropped greatly, Laoshan Scenic Area still needs 180 yuan after the price reduction in 65 yuan, and Kanas still needs 195 yuan after the price reduction in 100 yuan. For travelers, although they are ready to get rich from poor families before departure, it is still a big expense for a family to buy hundreds of tickets. Even after the price reduction, the ticket prices of many scenic spots have just changed from "too high" to "too high" which is still above 100 yuan, and the overall high ticket prices have not fundamentally changed.

  The reduction of "high fares" by tourists in famous scenic spots has restricted the growth of tourism consumption.

  Tourists hope that the cheaper the tickets for scenic spots, the better. However, the operators hope that "relying on mountains to eat mountains and relying on water to draw water" can create more benefits by relying on scenic spots tickets. Originally, the ticket price should be the result of the game between the two markets. However, for a long time, many scenic spot operators thought that the scenic spot was a monopoly resource, and no one came to the door. Therefore, the operators mastered the dominance of pricing. Many places also regarded the scenic spot as a cash cow for fiscal revenue, and repeatedly raised the ticket price. As a result, the ticket prices of many scenic spots in China are on the high side, which has been criticized by the society. According to the survey of the National Bureau of Statistics, more than 70% of them think that the ticket prices of domestic scenic spots are "too high" and "too high".

  The scenic spot should not be the private property of the place where it is located, but it has a public attribute.Setting a higher ticket price will inevitably shut out some tourists, ignoring the public nature of scenic spots and the basic needs of different classes of people.Even those tourists who can afford to pay higher tickets will choose to vote with their feet after more consideration, so that scenic spots with low cost performance can only do "one-shot business". Moreover, with the spread of word-of-mouth on social networks, it is becoming more and more difficult for such scenic spots to pursue short-term gains even to "buy and sell with one hammer", and the saying that "the poor are new to Matai and the rich are traveling at home" appears under this background. Many domestic tourists go far and near, and choose to go abroad for vacation and leisure. In recent years, the number of tourists in some famous scenic spots has also begun to decline, which fully shows that simple high ticket prices have become one of the bottlenecks affecting the further improvement of domestic tourism consumption income.

  The development of tourism industry should not rely too much on "ticket economy"

  To break this bottleneck, it is necessary for scenic spots to change their thinking, reform their operation mode, shift their eyes from "ticket economy" to "global tourism" and focus on long-term accounting. In this respect, there are some "conscience attractions" like Zhuyu. For example, tickets for the Forbidden City in Beijing have been maintained in 60 yuan for many years, and tickets for the West Lake in Hangzhou are simply free. The former’s cultural and creative products bring a lot of income, while the latter greatly enhances Hangzhou’s attractiveness as a tourist destination and becomes a booster for Hangzhou’s global tourism development.

  Because of the different sources of funds for the operation and management of each scenic spot, the difficulty of diversified operation is also different, so it is probably unrealistic to demand all scenic spots with a one-size-fits-all "conscience fare" However, in the case that the growth of the ticket economy has been weak, from a long-term perspective,Counting big accounts and general ledger is the only way to go. Although the direct income will be reduced in the short term after the ticket price reduction in scenic spots, if the service upgrade is forced by lowering the ticket price, more tourists will be attracted to visit and the stay time will be prolonged, which will help to lengthen the industry chain, enhance the added value of tourism and enhance the comprehensive attraction of scenic spots and surrounding areas.For tourists, a greater price reduction or free tickets in scenic spots will help to fully release the demand for tourism consumption. To put it bluntly, if the service is done well, tourists will spend less money on tickets and more money on other consumption areas. Transferring money from the left pocket to the right pocket can not only enhance the reputation of the scenic spot, but also increase the comprehensive income of tourism. Why not?

  Of course, it is the most direct and easy to collect tickets by sitting, and it takes brains to keep the service, and sometimes it is not easy. Innovative ideas are not so good! But what needs to be seen is that the competition for tourists is a global competition, and sooner or later, scenic spots need to improve their quality through services.

  The price has dropped, and the tourist experience cannot be lowered.

  Of course, the price reduction of tickets is likely to lead to an increase in the number of tourists. In recent years, some scenic spots have frequently heard the news that the "Golden Week" is crowded into "golden porridge". For example, it takes three or four hours to queue up on the cableway up and down the mountain. In the crowded and chaotic situation, the satisfaction of tourists in the scenic spot will continue to decline. In order to avoid this kind of situation, how to improve the management and balance the passenger flow and satisfaction while reducing the ticket price is a big test for the operation ability of the scenic spot. However, only after the test of large passenger flow can we maintain good service quality, can we really retain the hearts of tourists in the competition. The purpose of price reduction is to improve the quality. Let the price reduction force China to upgrade its tourism and embark on the road of high-quality development.

Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max model exposure, contrast shows that the body size has increased.

Recently, photos of Apple’s 16 Pro Max model have been circulated on the Internet. Compared with the iPhone 15 Pro Max, the body size of the iPhone 16 Pro Max is slightly enlarged, which confirms the previously rumored 6.9-inch display.

According to the current interest rate, iPhone 16 Pro Max will be one of the largest Pro Max models in Apple’s history. Compared with the 6.7-inch display of iPhone 15 Pro Max, this new mobile phone will bring a broader visual experience.

In addition, the battery capacity has also been significantly improved. According to related reports, the battery capacity of iPhone 16 Pro Max will reach 4,676 mAh, which is 5% higher than the previous generation. It is expected that the battery life of this mobile phone will be further improved.

At present, Apple claims that the iPhone 15 Pro Max can last for about 29 hours, so it can be predicted that the iPhone 16 Pro Max is likely to break through the 30-hour battery life record.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that netizen @ZONEofTECH shared this photo in the tweet and made a comparative analysis of the two mobile phones. I hope this series of new technologies can bring users a better experience.

All the windows are sealed and dare not open. A residential area in Wuhan suffers from fast lane noise.

      CCTV News:Recently, many residents in Hongshan District, Wuhan reported that their residential area is too close to Qingling section of Yangsi Port Expressway, which was opened to traffic not long ago, and the noise of traffic has troubled the daily life of residents in the residential area. According to the address provided by residents, CCTV reporters came to Yuecheng Community in Fudi District to learn about the situation on the spot.

       Residents of Forte Yuecheng Community moved in in 2015. At present, among the 27 residential buildings in the community, more than a dozen high-rise residential buildings are less than 50 meters away from Qingling section of Yangsi Port Expressway. In order to resist the noise, the residents themselves have thought of some measures, but the effect is not obvious.

one

       Residents of the community: "Our balcony has been stopped since the expressway was opened to traffic. We have sealed all its windows, and you can obviously feel the sound when you open it."

       Reporter: "It’s very loud."

       Residents of the community: "Yes, the sound is very loud, and I basically dare not open it."

one

       Residents of the community: "This is the master bedroom. Because of the noise, both husband and wife can’t stand it. Later, we paid for a set of silent windows ourselves. We thought the effect was ok, but the effect was still not good. The noise was still very loud, which led to my wife and I not sleeping in this room now, so we crowded the children’s room with the children."

       Residents say that noise not only affects rest, but also affects health by closing the windows for a long time, which leads to poor air circulation. Zhao Xin speed skater, an associate professor in the School of Transportation, Wuhan University of Technology, is engaged in the research on the integration of ecological environment and transportation facilities in the city circle, and has been paying attention to the noise disturbing people in this community.

one

       Zhao Xin speed skater, an associate professor at the School of Transportation, Wuhan University of Technology, said: "The maximum instantaneous noise value I have measured now has reached 80 decibels, with an average of about 75 decibels."

       Reporter: "Has this value exceeded the standard?"

one

       Zhao Xin speed skater: "This definitely exceeds the standard. According to the official monitoring data provided by the environmental monitoring station, it adopts the national second-class regional standard, and the limit value is 60 decibels. Then we have now tested that the instantaneous value has reached about 75 decibels, so it has exceeded about 15 decibels. "

      [Field] The existing noise control measures are not effective.

       According to the relevant provisions of the Law on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Noise Pollution in China, if the construction of expressways, urban viaducts and light rail roads passing through the existing areas where noise-sensitive buildings are concentrated may cause environmental noise pollution, noise barriers should be set up or other effective measures should be taken to control environmental noise pollution. So, has the urban expressway around the community taken such noise prevention measures?

       The reporter saw at the scene that in order to control noise pollution, the construction unit installed a 4-meter-high vertical sound barrier on the expressway to reduce the interference of noise generated by driving vehicles to nearby residents, but the effect was not satisfactory.

one

       Residential residents: "This vertical sound insulation screen has little effect on our high-rise, and you can hear that the noise is still very loud when you stand next to it, and even this vertical sound insulation screen only says that it has been repaired to the place directly below us, and there is no vertical sound insulation screen walking next to us, so the tire noise from a distance and the tire noise directly below are clearly transmitted."

       Zhao Xin speed skater, an associate professor at the School of Communications, Wuhan University of Technology, said: "The buildings here are generally relatively high, and its floors have basically reached more than 30 floors, so it is ineffective to use such a semi-closed sound insulation wall."

one

       In view of the noise problems reflected by residents, the personnel of Hongshan District Environmental Protection Monitoring Station in Wuhan City tested the noise situation. According to the test results, the distance between this expressway and the community is too close, which is the main reason for noise disturbing people at present. So, when the expressway was built, did the noise disturb people be taken into account for environmental assessment?

       Ming Lihong, researcher of the administrative examination and approval department of Wuhan Ecological Environment Bureau, said: "Our country’s evaluation law stipulates that the need to start construction should be reported to the original department for review within five years after the approval of the project EIA. Then the EIA of Wuchang section of the Second Ring Road was approved by the Environmental Protection Bureau in September 2010, and the construction of Wuchang section of the Second Ring Road was started in December 2010, so there is no legal requirement to report the EIA again. The Qingling section of Yangsi Port Expressway is a part of the Wuchang section of the Second Ring Road, and the overall EIA.

one

      [Progress] Relevant departments will take measures to reduce noise pollution.

       According to the environmental protection department, the Qingling section of Yangsi Port Expressway, which started construction in 2018, belongs to the Wuchang section of the Second Ring Road, and the overall environmental assessment of the Wuchang section of the Second Ring Road was passed in 2010. However, when the environmental assessment was carried out, there were no dense residential areas on both sides of the expressway. Eight years later, a large number of high-rise houses were built here. What should we do about the noise problem caused by the urban expressway?

one

       Recently, the relevant departments in Wuhan said that they attach great importance to the problem of noise disturbing people and have come up with corresponding solutions.

       Hao Xijian, director of the Policy and Regulation Department of Wuhan Ecological Environment Bureau, said: "We will take two measures in the next step. First, as a regulatory authority, we will conduct further research with the main construction unit. For the viaduct, some vertical sound insulation screens have been built, and the effect of vertical sound insulation screens can not meet the requirements of surrounding residents. Therefore, we will further demonstrate with the construction unit the feasibility of building a fully enclosed sound insulation screen for the viaduct; Second, in view of the current situation of excessive noise, we have further demonstrated with urban construction, urban management and construction units to minimize the emission of noise pollution sources through road noise reduction and other measures. "

one

       At present, noise disturbing people is a common problem in large and medium-sized cities. In order to alleviate traffic congestion, viaducts and expressways have sprung up everywhere, but in order to save land costs, some roads are also close to residential areas, which makes the phenomenon of noise disturbing people particularly prominent. Experts believe that the planning stage should be "prepared for a rainy day".

one

       Zhao Xin speed skater, an associate professor at the School of Transportation, Wuhan University of Technology, said: "Attention should be paid to the problem of noise disturbing people in the planning stage, and various sound insulation facilities should be taken into account in the planning and design stage. The second level is that in the land planning stage, we should consider the red lines of traffic land and residential land and the relationship between them, and leave a reasonable distance from the planning level to minimize the impact of noise on residents.

A week’s car talk | Geely established the "extreme krypton" brand, Xiaomi or teamed up with the Great Wall to build electric cars.

        Event review:On March 23rd, Holdings Limited released the 2020 annual performance conference. At the meeting, in addition to the regular disclosure of revenue, profit and sales volume, the company also solemnly announced the establishment of the extreme brand, which will create a brand-new intelligent pure electric vehicle focusing on the high-end market.

        Details decoding:

        The brand is jointly invested by Geely Automobile Group and Geely Holding Group (including employee investment platform and user rights platform), of which Geely Automobile holds 51% and Geely Holding Group holds 49%. The new company plans to inject RMB 2 billion in cash, with Chairman of the Board of Directors and An Conghui as CEO.

        The registered place of the joint venture company is in the British Cayman Islands. In response, Li Donghui, CEO of Geely Holding Group, said that the company will seek overseas listing in the future, and the current equity design is also to maintain flexibility for introducing strategic investors.


Previously exposed brand LOGO

        Why release a brand new brand at this time? Because in this year of 2021, Geely will enter the era of "4.0 comprehensive architecture system to build cars", and the establishment of Extreme Krypton Automobile is an important expression of this strategy. All the achievements and accumulation in the fields of intelligent interconnection, safe travel, new energy and autonomous driving may be concentrated in this brand new brand.

        At the product level that everyone is most concerned about, according to the official, the first model of Extreme Krypton is based on the vast intelligent architecture of SEA, and will be booked and delivered in the fourth quarter of this year.

        In the next five years, Krypton plans to introduce at least one brand-new product to the market every year. If Kykrypton is successfully listed in the overseas capital market, it will provide it with new financing channels, thus supporting the investment source of Kykrypton and even Geely Automobile in the future transformation.

        It is also worth mentioning that Geely reiterated the Blue Plan and proposed the Blue Action II based on the Blue Action I proposed in 2015. The former focuses on expanding the share of energy-saving and new energy vehicles, which is still borne by Geely Automobile Group; The latter focuses on intelligent pure electric vehicles and will actively participate in the competition in this market, which is also the extremely historical mission.

        Event review:On March 26th, according to people familiar with the matter, Xiaomi was discussing the use of one of the factories in China to produce its own brand of electric vehicles. In this regard, Xiaomi Company said in response to media verification: Everything is subject to the announcement. Automobile-related staff also said that the exact news has not been obtained yet, and all news will be subject to the announcement.

        Details decoding:

        Xiaomi has been rumored to build a car for a long time, but there has never been a real hammer. But in fact, Xiaomi’s response to the rumors of building a car is a very interesting thing.

        Last year, Xu Jieyun, deputy director of the General Office of Xiaomi Group, firmly rumored at the Weibo: "Just master a principle, but everything that Xiaomi wants to build a car is fake news."

        Time came to February 19 this year, and LatePost reported that Xiaomi had decided to build a car and regarded it as a strategic decision, but the specific form and path have not yet been determined, and there may still be variables. Even a person familiar with the matter pointed out that Xiaomi’s car will be led by Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi Group.

        On February 21st, Xiaomi Group issued an announcement entitled "Clarifying the Report on Entering the Electric Vehicle Industry" on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, officially responding to the rumors of building cars. The original announcement shows: "The Group has noticed some recent media reports that the Group intends to enter the electric vehicle manufacturing industry. Xiaomi said that the group has been paying attention to the development of electric vehicle ecology and continuously evaluating and researching the situation of related industries. Xiaomi’s research on electric vehicle manufacturing business has not yet reached the formal project stage. "


Imaginary map of Xiaomi automobile

        On March 24th, at the press conference after the release of Xiaomi’s annual results in 2020, Wang Xiang of Xiaomi Group responded to Xiaomi’s car-making. Wang Xiang said that the company has sent a report to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. At present, there is no internal project for the production of electric vehicles. This is the information that can be disclosed at present.

        Counting the recent "everything is subject to the announcement", it can be said that Xiaomi’s reaction to the rumors of building a car has become less and less strong. But even so, it can’t be proved that this is a certain thing. After all, Dyson said that he would build a car, but he didn’t make it later.

        Event review:On March 24th, China executives announced at the Weibo that the price of Model Y on sale would be raised by RMB 8,000, which will take effect from now on, and the customers who have ordered it will not be affected by this price adjustment. Among them, the domestic long-life version rose from 339,900 to 347,900 yuan, and the high-performance version rose from 369,900 to 377,900 yuan.

        Details decoding:

        Previously, the continuous price reduction was called "leek harvester". However, this is Tesla’s first active price increase since it was made in China, which broke the iron law of only reducing prices but not increasing prices several times before.

        The news of the price increase came unexpectedly, which made people unprepared. The relevant person in charge of Tesla said in response to this price increase that it was mainly affected by the rising production and manufacturing costs of the company.

        As we all know, the power battery accounts for the largest proportion in the composition cost of electric vehicles, and the price of raw materials upstream of the power battery is currently rising.

        According to CCTV Finance Network, as of March 12, the average price of domestic battery-grade lithium carbonate market was 83,500 yuan per ton, which increased by 6,000 yuan per ton in a week. Looking ahead, the price of battery-grade lithium carbonate has risen from 40 thousand yuan per ton in December last year to more than 80 thousand yuan per ton now, which is equivalent to doubling the price in four months, and it will be raised almost every other day.

        Not only lithium carbonate, but also the prices of other lithium raw materials needed in lithium batteries continue to rise. Since January of this year, the price of lithium hydroxide has increased by 35%, that of Ferrous lithium phosphate has increased by nearly 20%, and that of cobalt in ternary lithium batteries has increased by more than 40%.

        If the price increase of Model Y is due to the increase of production cost, then why didn’t the price increase share 75% parts with Model Y?

        While the outside world was wondering, Tesla raised the price of some Tesla Model 3 models in official website on March 25th. According to official website data of Tesla USA, the prices of the standard battery life upgrade version and the long battery life full-drive version of Tesla Model 3 have been raised by $500, and the current prices are $37,990 and $46,990 respectively.

        As for the domestic market, the relevant person in charge of Tesla China said that at present, Tesla has no price increase plan for other models sold in China, including the domestic Model 3.

        Event review:On March 20th, at the China Development Forum, Musk, who participated in the event through remote video, gave an assurance that Tesla would never provide the US government with the data collected by its vehicles in China or other countries.

        Details decoding:

        On March 13th, Musk posted a message on Twitter that he would take back the trial rights of some car owners’ FSD beta version, because these car owners don’t like watching the road very much when turning on the autopilot function, which poses a safety hazard.

        When the tweet was sent, there was something wrong with the user. On Twitter, I asked Musk if Tesla’s in-car camera could monitor the owner. Musk answered directly, yes! I never thought that this understated answer made Musk have to wipe his ass hard after a few days.

        On March 19th, in China, far away from the other side of the Pacific Ocean, some troops posted a notice saying that after investigation and actual testing, Tesla brand cars were equipped with a series of technical devices that could expose the target position, such as omni-directional cameras and ultrasonic sensors. In order to ensure the absolute safety of military secrets, Tesla was forbidden to enter the relevant areas.

        In this regard, Tesla China immediately clarified that all Tesla vehicles in the China market did not turn on the in-car camera, and did not involve the test of FSD Beta.

        Then, as the boss of the company, Musk couldn’t sit still. When talking about artificial intelligence and data security at the China Development Forum meeting held on March 20, he took the opportunity to make the above commitments. Obviously, Musk is worried that more units will join the ban on Tesla according to the actual situation, which will have a vital and irresistible impact on Tesla’s brand strategy.

        Facts have proved that Musk’s worries are not superfluous. According to online news, some local police stations have asked Tesla owners to drive to designated places for inspection, and some military hospitals have posted notices prohibiting Tesla from entering.

        Event review:On March 25, the official announced that due to the shortage of supply, Tank 300 suspended the notice of receiving orders. From 24: 00 on March 28, 2021, WEY APP will suspend receiving new orders.

        Details decoding:

        According to the statement, as the average daily order of tanks has remained high for 300 days, the monthly order volume has continuously exceeded 10,000 units. Due to excessive accumulated orders, the waiting period for delivery of many tank vehicles has reached more than three months.

        In order to fundamentally solve the problem of long waiting period and provide a better car buying experience, the government decided to "stop production and upgrade" the factory to provide guarantee for subsequent production increase.

        After the transformation, more than 50 production line robots will be added to improve the production rhythm and break through the bottleneck of production capacity. The "production stoppage and upgrading" is expected to start from March 29th, and the production line transformation and commissioning is expected to be completed on April 10th.

        In addition, Wei Jianjun, Chairman of Great Wall Motor, said at an industrial forum on March 21st that WEY’s tank series will develop as an independent brand, becoming the fifth independent brand of Great Wall Group after WEY and Cannon, and this brand mainly focuses on off-road vehicles. Previously, the new brand LOGO has been announced.
