The great country showed its king’s demeanor, and the red flag sunflower brand appeared at the Beijing Auto Show.

When it comes to the top luxury of the automobile industry, I believe many people think of Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Maibakh. Many people still think of domestic cars as refrigerators, sofas and large color TVs. However, in this 2024 Beijing Auto Show, the red flag of China FAW showed the world the unique luxury that belongs to China. This time, FAW Hongqi Automobile made a glorious appearance in beijing international automotive exhibition in 2024, bringing a luxury car feast to many consumers.

In this Beijing Auto Show, FAW Hongqi Golden Sunflower brand grandly displayed the national team consisting of Guoyao, Guoya, Guoli and Guoyue, and showed the real strength from China to domestic and foreign consumers. Its China Yao showed us a full-size SUV with a glorious attitude, the National Gift showed us a top-class luxury flagship car, Guoya showed us an ultra-luxury executive car with elegant connotation, and Guoyue showed us a business bus with great country style and universal hospitality. The State Guest Team, composed of four new cars, also shows the king’s demeanor to outsiders.

In this conference, the attention of the two luxury cars is extremely high. After all, the luxury cars of the Red Flag Golden Sunflower brand are all targeted at some top luxury brands, and the positioning models are also direct to some top luxury cars such as Maibakh S-class, Bentley Feichi and Rolls-Royce Gusteau. The first to bear the brunt is the brand-new ultra-luxury executive car-Guoya. As a luxury car that combines Chinese aesthetics with cutting-edge technology, it reveals the cultural heritage and national integrity of China’s characteristic traditions everywhere. Hongqi Guoya has a vehicle size of 5353×1997×1514 mm and a wheelbase of 3260 mm. Such a huge size also brings a stronger gas field to the vehicle. In terms of appearance design, Hongqi Guoya inherits the Chinese cultural connotation as a whole, and perfectly blends the appearance color with the beautiful lines. The brand of sunflower seeds carries a strong atmosphere, and the unique brand cultural and historical connotation also brings more rich cultural connotation to Guoya. The front part of Guoya’s appearance adopts the headlight design of the round place, and even the simple pen outlines the simple details, highlighting the temperament of the whole car. After the front light is lit, it looks like a vast mountain from a distance and flows like a Milky Way from a close view, plus a straight waterfall grille and exclusive lifting signs, highlighting the power of luxury cars in big countries. For the first time, Hongqi Guoya was equipped with an automatic lifting flag with exclusive products of 3 million luxury cars, revealing the exclusive luxury of Guoya again from the side. In terms of interior, Hongqi Guoya continues the classic symmetrical axis layout, and the front cabin overall presents a sense of Chinese aesthetics, which is upright and luxurious. The interior atmosphere lights are like being in the starry sky.Adopting the concept of inheriting mountains and rivers will make the interior atmosphere more poetic. As a luxury car, the comfortable and distinguished rear seat experience is the highlight of this car. The rear seat is surrounded by the sense of independence. The C-seat exclusive experience can make people feel super luxury as soon as they sit in the back seat. Twenty-two exclusive seats with C-seat plus 40 top-level generating unit stereos, including 32 speakers and 8 seat oscillators, can present 7.1.4Dolby panoramic sound images for the C-seat. You can enjoy the 4 D surround sound quality experience and enjoy the heavenly sound when you sit in the car.

In this new product launch, in addition to the new Hongqi Guoya showing the super luxury of its own brand, another Hongqi national gift shows the top level of domestic luxury. The Hongqi national gift was renamed from Hongqi L5, with the length, width and height of 5980×2090×1710 and the wheelbase of 3730 mm, which is even bigger than Guoya.

The Red Flag National Gift also has the flag that can be lifted automatically, and the spindle design of the whole car body continues to inherit the classic overall posture of standing tall, high on the chest and low on the back. The majesty and dignity also convey the noble atmosphere of the national gift as a concierge car. A large number of external shapes are integrated into the round place, and the design of alpine waterfalls contains the philosophical thought of harmony between man and nature. The straight waterfall-shaped grille of the front net also comes from the bamboo festival, which is inspired by the rising trend and everything goes well. The headlights continue to inherit the barrel headlamp group, connecting the past and the future like just visiting, while the longitudinal taillights adopt the traditional palace lantern modeling, blending classical and modern aesthetics. In terms of vehicle interior, many natural plant elements, such as plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, are used in the interior of the vehicle, and the theme of spring scenery is full of gardens, creating an overall natural and luxurious texture. The landscape painting is also a highlight of the red flag national ceremony. The audio details in the interior are derived from the traditional landscape culture of China, and the addition of landscape painting elements can also be described as the finishing touch of the whole vehicle. Compared with the comfort of the car, Guoya is a higher level. From the five aspects of sight, hearing, smell, touch and knowledge, the top luxury cars will be pushed to the peak level again.

In addition, in this brand launch conference of Golden Sunflower, the concept car of Golden Sunflower also made its debut. This concept car represents the front face of the future design language. Although it retains a lot of Chinese elements, it still adds a lot of future technologies, especially the headlight group, which has the most sense of design. The scattered light sources bring a stronger visual effect to the whole car, and blend retro with the trend. In addition, this car has a unique way of opening the door, and the shape of the scissor door is absolutely amazing to many viewers. Coupled with the rear of the car, it has the taste of a GT performance car.

The first appearance of Hongqi Sunflower brand in Beijing’s production has also made Chinese people see the top car-making level of domestic independent brands. Hongqi, as a historic vehicle, symbolizes the facade of China automobile. In the future, it may take some time for China FAW Hongqi to go hand in hand with the mainstream luxury car brands in the market, but at least at present, China’s independent brands have also shown a proud trend. I believe that in the near future, China FAW Hongqi will be able to shine in the international arena and continue to lead the king of big countries.

The first test experience of MONA M03 in Tucki is the new favorite of young people.

Tell me one thing, starting from August, # arrived at the store #, and you can experience it offline-in fact, some time ago, you passed the confidentiality agreement of "paying a deposit of 500W", and you saw it in advance. If you have to evaluate this car, my first impression is that it is "very young", and some interesting things are very similar to the young girl I am taking recently. What can I say? It is not uncommon for the volume button on the steering wheel and the button on the previous song and the next song to be designed as rollers, right? But you’ve never seen it. One form is …

Dial Buddha beads, knock wooden fish, and add 1 to merit-this is one of the core plug-ins on the home page of Zhongkong.

If you say "this is not a young man", then you must not be a young man. I have two walnuts and a gourd in my hand, both of which were given to me after 1995 … All the people I know who play this kind of wenwan are children without exception.

Another small plug-in is the "levator ani movement"-when I saw Xiao P’s face suddenly squeezed into a marshmallow-like ass on the screen, I thought of an image: an alien in Alalei. It’s been a long time, but it’s finally a very "initial" thing. I spent at least fifteen minutes playing with this thing during the limited half-hour filming in the shed. Do you think it’s good to do something rhythmic when there is traffic jam? In fact, several times when I took the internet to get a car, I saw that the driver kept pressing his neck and turning his head to exercise, which was a bit distressing, because my own cervical vertebra also had a lot of problems and I knew this pain. The levator ani and head movements are the only exercises that can be done in the process of "driving"-wait, if L4 is up, maybe there will be eye exercises?

Talk about styling!

In fact, I have already taken an exterior look earlier. Simply put, it is "streamlined, extremely concise, and the side is second-dimensional". To be honest, I really think it is very suitable for such a large plane to be stuck on the car. But at that time, the "interior" could only be seen, not touched (crossed out), and not photographed-this time it was ok. Tell me a few impressive places.

After I got on the bus, I sat in the back row first, and the angle of view in the middle of the back row was very good. The projection of the panoramic canopy on the passenger compartment, when matched with the light, would make the passenger compartment look very beautiful-there is a meaning of "water and sky are the same color". Of course, the panoramic canopy is not unique to M03, but the difference of M03 canopy is that the Low-E laminated glass+coating is of course aimed at multi-layer sun protection, but the external light enters the car after being filtered, which is very atmospheric.

Another place is the armrest box. At a glance, you may think that "other cars are the same". At another glance, you will find that it is actually a multi-section design, with the front cup holder, then the wireless charging, then the storage slot and then the storage box, which is very coherent. Similar ingenious details, such as hooks and light buttons on both sides of the rear seat, are very interesting.

What I have to say is the car machine. In fact, it has been said before that the M03 comes standard with 16G-the memory of cars over 20W is usually 8G or 6G. It is worth imagining that the M03 can do something directly on 16G, at least you don’t want it to be stuck as PPT, right?

M03′ s car control menu has many functions, but the level is very shallow-people like me who play digital gadgets and like to explore are even a little "unfinished", that is, "This is it?" That kind of feeling, but in short, "shallow level" brings convenient operation, and you won’t spend too much energy to find every function you want to find. The core car control is on the desktop, and a large number of apps in the application market are in the drawer. The most interesting thing is M03′ s customization of APP: QQ Music and Netease Cloud Music, which are not ordinary car versions, are exclusive versions of M03, if you have to ask what is the use …

When you navigate, the map of M03 is actually different from the conventional Baidu and Gaode. In the city, it will enter a 3D virtual city perspective. Have you ever played it? It’s the kind of perspective that God sees little people, and if you turn on music at this time …

"At this time, my heart fell like a falling flower, and suddenly my sight lost its color."

That’s what this lyric means.

Directly in the map navigation interface to open KTV subtitles and falling flowers effect …

It’s interesting to watch virtual cars running around the city.

Teresa Teng’s Unfulfilled Dream: It’s a lifelong regret to visit relatives in the mainland and hold a concert.

When it comes to Teresa Teng, it can be said that it is a household name. Some people describe that Teresa Teng’s songs can be heard everywhere in the world where Chinese is spoken. Many experts believe that no one can surpass her artistic height and popularity in pop music so far.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, with the deepening of reform and opening-up in the Mainland, Teresa Teng’s songs spread all over China like a whirlwind, and her fans were really many. However, Teresa Teng, who has never set foot on his homeland in his life, has a long-cherished "root-seeking" past to return to the mainland, which is little known. When I was the Minister of Culture and Sports in the Hong Kong Branch of Xinhua News Agency, I had contact with Teresa Teng and did some work to help her realize her wish of "seeking roots" in the Mainland. In contact with her, she talked about her dreams more than once: going back to the mainland, holding solo concerts in several big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, meeting mainland fans, buying a house in Suzhou, and living a comfortable and leisurely life in the mainland in the future. Regrettably, her dream was "discouraged" by the highest authorities in Taiwan Province at that time, but it has not been realized.

This year coincides with the 60th anniversary of Teresa Teng’s birth, recalling the past as if it were yesterday. I wrote it in writing as a memorial to this famous, homesick diva.

I heard Teresa Teng sing for the first time

In the spring of 1985, I was invited to attend the Taiqing Gala in tvbi. That was the first time I saw Teresa Teng singing on the stage.

On that night, Hong Kong and Taiwan singers gathered together, each showing his charm. Teresa Teng, who is well-known at home and abroad, was the signing singer and the host of the "singing program" of the wireless TV station. Because of the support of many old friends and members of the Teresa Teng fan club invited in advance, the atmosphere of the party was very warm. Most of the songs performed by Teresa Teng are Cantonese and Mandarin songs that Hong Kong people love to hear, such as A Thousand Words, A Story of a Small Town, Where does the Wind Come from, etc.

At the end of the get-together, I happened to meet some friends from Hong Kong literary and art circles, including singers and composers who have worked with Teresa Teng, loyal fans of Teresa Teng, and overseas Chinese who came from the United States to watch Teresa Teng sing. Everyone praised Teresa Teng’s wonderful singing. I’ve only heard her singing on the radio and read articles introducing her in newspapers and magazines before, but seeing with my own eyes makes people feel that she is really a talented and rare superstar in the music world. She has a wide range of songs, and she can sing any national songs and Cantonese songs, including folk operas, minor songs, Tang poetry and Song lyrics, as well as English songs and Japanese songs. And I like the classical songs she wrote in Tang poetry and Song poetry best, such as Li Yu’s "Going to the West Building alone", Su Shi’s "I hope people will last for a long time", Fan Zhongyan’s "The grass is ruthless" and Xin Qiji’s "I want to talk about it" and so on. The national traditional singing method shows her unique singing style.

She looks beautiful in the typhoon. Sometimes she wears cheongsam on the stage, sometimes she wears a country girl’s blouse, and sometimes she wears a student’s dress. She is simple and generous and very youthful. The most rare thing is her good voice. Her lyrics are clear, her feelings are pure and lingering. The same song she sang is just different, with rhyme and flavor, euphemistic and delicate.

During the conversation, the words of an overseas Chinese caught my attention. He said that the reform and opening up in the mainland has formed a strong "root-seeking" fever among the vast number of overseas wanderers, and Teresa Teng is one of them. Her ancestral home is in the mainland and she really wants to go back to her hometown. At the same time, she also knows that there are many fans in the mainland. It would be better if she had the opportunity to sing and meet the fans.

At that time, in the special environment of Hong Kong, there were many favorable conditions to carry out personnel exchanges and cultural exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. After hearing that Teresa Teng has the desire to go back to the mainland to "find her roots", I came up with the idea of promoting her to return to the mainland for a concert as soon as possible.

See you at Shatian Racecourse, Teresa Teng.

One afternoon in the autumn of 1986, the wind was breezy and the sunset glow was gradually dyed. Comrade Chen Bojian, deputy director of Xinhua Branch, his wife and senior editor Hu Xiuya, and I went to Sha Tin Racecourse to watch horse races at the invitation of our Hong Kong friend Mr. Wu Duotai and his wife Ms. Zhu Lianfen (both of them are members of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, and Ms. Zhu Lianfen is also the president of the Hong Kong Writers Association). We drove around the foot of Lion Mountain along the seawall and headed for the racecourse. Mr. Wu and Sister Zhu greeted us at the door. Mr. Wu said: Horse racing is a special way of life for Hong Kong people. You have been in Hong Kong for many years, and it is rare to have a chance to watch horse racing at ordinary times. I invite you to come and play together today. I thought Mr. Deng Xiaoping said that after Hong Kong’s return to China, he ran and danced with horses. We said just look at it. Ms. Zhu said: You can’t just watch it. You don’t know what a real horse race is without betting. Everyone laughed.

There was still some time to leave the competition, and Zhu Lianfen walked to the next hall. Soon she came back and said to me, "What a coincidence, Teresa Teng is here today. You are in charge of cultural work. Do you want to meet her?" At that time, Taiwan Province was still in opposition to the mainland because of its three noes policy of no contact, no negotiation and no compromise, so I said, "As long as she doesn’t mind, of course she can." When we entered the hall, I saw Teresa Teng chatting and joking with some young people. Ms. Zhu called Teresa Teng over and only said to her, "I’d like to introduce you. This is Mr. Han. Let’s talk." He walked away. Teresa Teng’s dress surprised me. She was wearing jeans and faded a little. No makeup, pretty and generous, full of energy. For some unknown reason, she casually asked me, "Are you from Taipei?" I’m a little surprised. Didn’t Ms. Zhu introduce me to her? I said to her bluntly, "No, I’m from Beijing. My name is Li Han. I’m glad to meet Miss Deng here today." And handed her a business card. She paused after reading it, a little embarrassed. In order to ease the atmosphere, I then asked, "I heard that you want to go back to the mainland. Is that true?" She replied frankly: "The mainland is my hometown, and I have been looking forward to going back for a long time. If possible, I would like to hold a solo concert and meet my fans to thank them for their support and care. Just don’t know how to get there? " Teresa Teng seemed to have something to say when the bell rang, so I had to say to her, "Your idea is very good.The horse race has started. We’ll have a chance to meet again later, and then we’ll talk about it in detail. "We hurried to say goodbye.

Invite Teresa Teng to the movies.

After I reported my conversation with Teresa Teng at Shatian Racecourse to the branch leader, after the branch study, I decided that Comrade Peng Yanyan from the Literature and Art Department of our department and I would further contact with Teresa Teng.

One afternoon, we invited Teresa Teng and her secretary to see a movie at Southern Film Distribution Company (a company that distributes China films to Hong Kong, Macao and Southeast Asian countries). There were many films. We took out the China film list and asked her to choose. She looked through the pages carefully and carefully. Finally, she chose two films reflecting the life in the mainland in the 1930s: Camel Xiangzi and Thunderstorm. In a small projection room that can accommodate 20 or 30 people, only the four of us can watch and talk easily. We prepared some refreshments and watched two movies all afternoon.

Teresa Teng was fascinated, but his mood seemed dignified. After watching it, she said with emotion: "I like these two movies very much. As an artist in Taiwan Province, it can be said that it is a blow." I didn’t quite understand what she said at that time. Then she added: "I thought that mainland films were all for publicity, but I didn’t expect to make such a good art film. Some scenes moved me to tears."

After listening to these words, I realized what she meant by "a blow to the head". I don’t believe what she said was polite. I have come into contact with some people in Taiwan Province’s literary and art circles in my work, and their feelings about the mainland are somewhat similar to those of Teresa Teng.

It’s time for dinner. We invited Teresa Teng to dinner at the Liyuan Hotel where she stayed. I asked her if she liked Chinese food or western food, and she said that western food didn’t suit her, but Chinese food was better. After serving, Teresa Teng added, "I can’t eat such a rich dish. I just saw Tigress, Xiangzi and Aunt Lu’s family in the movie, and I felt very sad. I can’t bear to eat such good food now. I will even think about these stories when I sleep in these two or three days. " Her dignified expression shows her tender and kind nature. I think this is probably related to her poor family when she was a child and the ups and downs she encountered in her artistic career. So we turned the topic to the question of her returning to the mainland.

I asked her what specific thoughts she had about going back to the mainland. She said: I heard from my parents that there is an aunt in my hometown of daming county, Hebei Province who has never met before. If I can go back, I must visit her old man’s house. Speaking of holding a solo concert, she said: I heard that many young people in the mainland like my songs, and I am certainly very happy if I can sing. For those who have difficulties in life, tickets can be free. As for the income from the performance, I would like to donate it to public utilities in the Mainland, including the construction of public toilets. In addition, she and the secretary also talked about some specific problems in performance, such as lighting, sound, and making audio tapes and CDs. We said that we are responsible for reflecting these problems to the relevant mainland units, and if there is a possibility of holding a concert, the organizer will negotiate with Miss Deng to solve them.

Dream blocked, lifelong regret

With the deepening of contact, the branch leaders decided that Peng Yanyan and I would go to Beijing to report to the Ministry of Culture about Teresa Teng’s return to the mainland. At that time, the leaders of the Ministry of Culture attached great importance to this matter, thinking that Teresa Teng was quite influential in Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas music circles, and there were many fans in the Mainland. It would be a good thing if she could come back to visit and even hold a concert in a certain range, so we should strive for her to make it. However, since the Taiwan Province authorities had not lifted the martial law against the mainland and pursued the "three noes" policy at that time, whether Teresa Teng could go back to the mainland to visit relatives and hold a concert depended on the attitude of the Taiwan Province authorities. As expected, Teresa Teng never contacted us again, so the matter was shelved. Many years later, I learned from an article in Hong Kong’s "Hong Kong News" that Teresa Teng’s dream of "seeking roots" failed to come true because of the "dissuasion" of the highest authorities in Taiwan Province.

One day in May, 1995, I was startled to see the report of Teresa Teng’s death in Thailand from the Reference News. After a moment of silence, many past events came to mind. I didn’t expect Teresa Teng, who was only 42 years old, to leave the world so early. In recent years, great changes have taken place in cross-strait relations compared with the 1970s and 1980s. After the realization of the "three links", people on both sides of the strait have freely traveled, and economic, trade and cultural exchanges have changed with each passing day. Working together to promote peaceful development and create a better future for the Chinese nation has become the consensus of more compatriots on both sides of the strait. It is conceivable that if Teresa Teng were alive, her dream would be closely linked with the great "Chinese Dream" and realized. Unfortunately, she was born at an untimely time and died young, which turned out to be a lifelong regret.

On the occasion of commemorating the 60th anniversary of Teresa Teng’s birth, I hereby dedicate a poem of Seven Laws:

Miss Teresa Teng

Make-up has no jeans, absolute beauty Wonderful Girl.

The charm of the music world floats all over the world, and the wanderers miss their hometown deeply.

Cross-strait exchanges and dreams are fragrant.

On the day of the return of heaven on earth, the tomb on the top of Jinbao Mountain is not yellow.

Note: Teresa Teng’s cemetery is located in Jinbaoshan, Taiwan Province. (Author: Han Li)

Fully guarantee reliable power supply

  Our city welcomes the last "big exam" in June-this year’s senior high school entrance examination and the second grade academic level examination. Shenzhen Power Supply Bureau of China Southern Power Grid has formulated power grid plans and on-site disposal plans for power outage accidents one by one for the 218 test sites under its jurisdiction, and prepared emergency teams, related plans and emergency materials in advance, so as to respond to emergencies in a timely manner.

  During the senior high school entrance examination, Shenzhen traffic started the "silent mode". It is strictly forbidden to honk the horns of operating vehicles passing through the test sites, and stop using voice playback equipment such as turning prompts. Road maintenance projects were suspended during the examination period, and the factors that hindered the smooth progress of the examination, such as poor traffic and noise caused by operating vehicles, subways and road construction, were completely eliminated. At the same time, coordinate with relevant departments and navigation enterprises to carefully adjust flight plans, suspend all non-essential flight tasks during the examination period, and minimize the impact of traffic noise on candidates.

  In order to ensure the safe and smooth travel of candidates, Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Transportation, together with relevant departments, further strengthened the inspection of traffic facilities and construction projects around test sites, and specially rectified various traffic safety facilities. By setting up safety warning signs and arranging special personnel to be on duty, we will do our best to eliminate the potential safety hazards that cannot be rectified in a short time. At the same time, Shenzhen Metro and bus companies were organized to participate in the exam-assisting activities, and "love exam-assisting stations" were set up in some bus lines passing through the test sites and stations under their jurisdiction to provide disposable raincoats, exam stationery and emergency medicines for candidates in case of emergency.

  The reporter learned from the Provincial Education Examinations Institute and the Shenzhen Recruitment Office that candidates who have questions about their scores in a certain subject can bring the admission ticket to their school or registration point before 17:00 on June 26 to submit a written application for rechecking scores. The Provincial Education Examinations Institute will organize a review from June 28th to 29th. The provincial education examination institute will correct the scores of the candidates who are found to have incorrect scores after the review. The corrected scores will be sent directly to me, and the school (registration point) will inform the candidates themselves. After the review, the electronic document of the list of candidates with correct scores will be fed back to the relevant schools, which will inform the candidates. Candidates who apply for re-examination scores can check the re-examination results according to the relevant prompts through the "Guangdong Recruitment Online" applet at 9:00 on June 30th.

Experts suggest locking in the scope of specialty in combination with hobbies.

  On June 25th, the scores and scores of Guangdong college entrance examination were announced, and the voluntary reporting work will begin on June 28th. Experts on volunteering for the college entrance examination suggest that candidates and parents should combine their own interests and hobbies to lock in the scope of their major when filling in their volunteers, and make a reasonable report compared with the admission data of their favorite universities in the past three years.

  In an interview with reporters, Shen Jiyuan, a national senior career planner and expert in volunteering for the college entrance examination, said that although the undergraduate admission scores of the college entrance examination in Guangdong Province this year are not much different from those of last year, as a new college entrance examination province, there are still data adjustment of professional groups, new enrollment plans, and risks of professional groups quitting files, which need attention. At this stage, there are nearly 800 majors to choose from, but each candidate has different talents and interests, and only some of them are suitable. Candidates and parents should first lock in the professional scope when volunteering to fill in the form, and don’t "change your mind". Especially after the scores are published, there is a gap between some candidates and parents, which loosens the original professional intention, especially the suggestions of relatives and friends will also affect decision-making. This will make it difficult to choose within a limited time, so it is suggested to lock in the scope of majors first, and then lock in institutions according to scores and enrollment plans.

  Shen Jiyuan said that even if some colleges and universities have different majors in the same professional group, the scores of selected majors should be set aside. Especially for popular majors such as teachers’ college, medicine, electronics, computer, etc., the scores in some professional groups will reach 20 points. Candidates who rush to fill in popular majors may be transferred to majors they don’t like because of insufficient scores, and there may even be a risk of quitting. Therefore, when choosing a major group, we should not just look at the lowest score of the major group, but must compare the three-year data to understand the actual score of the major we applied for.

  "Candidates must refer to the official data of the provincial admissions office when referring to the data. After the college entrance examination, some parents are in a state of high anxiety, and they are afraid of a lot of information, especially all kinds of data, and even use’ whether there is internal data’ as a reference standard and judgment basis. In fact, this idea is not desirable." Shen Jiyuan said that all enrollment plans and university admission data will be published by the provincial admissions office with official authority, and the university will also enroll students according to official requirements, and will arrange the time reasonably, which will definitely meet the needs of parents for normal reporting. At the same time, every candidate’s parents will have an officially announced enrollment plan and reporting guide, which is the most authoritative and accurate. The work of volunteering also needs to be officially published before it can be officially selected. Therefore, parents and candidates need not be too anxious, first ensure accuracy and correctness, and then pursue efficiency time.

  Finally, Shen Jiyuan concluded that volunteering to fill in the form is not a form. It will have a corresponding impact on candidates’ future college life through majors and colleges. Parents are requested to maintain rational wisdom and make an optimal choice for their children.

The number of students enrolled in colleges and universities in Shenzhen has increased.

  With the announcement of college entrance examination results, how to choose majors and fill in volunteers has become a hot topic of concern for candidates and parents. Recently, major universities in Shenzhen have successively released enrollment plans for 2023. The reporter found that several major universities have increased both in enrollment and specialty setting.

  The two new enrollment majors in Shenzhen University are Intelligent Construction and Intelligent Transportation. Among them, the intelligent construction specialty is based on the civil engineering specialty, and the intelligent transportation specialty is based on the "iterative upgrade" of the traffic engineering specialty. In addition, Shenzhen University has also added an excellent class of "Mathematics and Applied Mathematics" this year. Excellent classes adopt tutorial system, and the graduation promotion rate can reach 30%. Students can take postgraduate courses in advance, and there is a direct blog program.

  Shenzhen MSU-BIT University has newly opened majors in intelligent perception engineering and financial technology. Intelligent perception engineering is a new engineering specialty, and it is a high-tech intensive comprehensive specialty formed by the intersection and integration of multiple disciplines. Financial science and technology major belongs to economics major, aiming at cultivating innovative financial science and technology talents with solid economic theory, strong foreign language ability and familiarity with economics, finance and modern information technology theoretical knowledge.

  In 2023, Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen) newly recruited students majoring in literature and history (history), mainly including economic management experimental classes and architecture (smart living). Among them, architecture (smart living) includes architecture and urban and rural planning, and the economic management experimental class includes economics and accounting (big data accounting direction). The number of students enrolled in the experimental class of economic management and the class of architecture (smart residence) is 18 and 8 respectively. Students can choose any major in this major category.

  A few days ago, the Ministry of Education announced the record and approval results of undergraduate majors in ordinary colleges and universities in 2023, and the physics major applied by the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) passed the examination and approval. It is reported that the physics major of this school aims to provide students with a complete curriculum system based on practice and thus lead students to contact the cutting-edge technical principles in this field.

  In 2023, Shenzhen University of Technology added six popular majors: robot engineering, intelligent perception engineering, stomatology technology, biopharmaceuticals, new media art and music performance, and recruited music candidates for the first time. Among them, robot engineering recruits 130 people, intelligent perception engineering recruits 135 people, biopharmaceuticals recruits 60 people, stomatology technology recruits 60 people, new media art recruits 40 people, and music performances recruits 45 people. In the overall enrollment plan for ordinary undergraduate students, 600 students will be added this year, and 4,000 students will be enrolled, maintaining a high enrollment plan increment for four consecutive years. In addition, in 2023, Shenzhen University of Technology also set up a special class enrollment plan for the first time, including computer science and technology (Tencent Safety Elite Class), Chinese Medicine (Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Traditional Chinese Medicine Elite Class) and computer science and technology (Digital Clothing Technology Elite Class) managed and trained by Fashion Technology College.

  Shenzhen Vocational and Technical University (hereinafter referred to as "Shenzhen Vocational College") began to recruit students in the province this year. The first batch of six professional undergraduate majors were set up, including electronic information engineering technology, modern communication engineering, artificial intelligence engineering technology, intelligent manufacturing engineering technology, new energy vehicle engineering technology and digital animation, and it is planned to recruit 200 students. Among them, electronic information engineering technology, modern communication engineering, artificial intelligence engineering technology, intelligent manufacturing engineering technology and new energy vehicle engineering technology each recruit 31 people, and recruit general physics candidates; Digital animation major enrolls 30 students and art candidates. In addition, the school innovates the training mode of undergraduate talents, offers electronic information engineering technology (experimental class), and plans to recruit 15 students, with a separate professional group, to recruit general physics candidates. The college recruits students from 20 provinces (cities and autonomous regions) across the country, and two new enrollment majors, namely intelligent construction technology and smart city management technology, are added.

  In 2023, Shenzhen Vocational College of Information Technology plans to recruit 6,700 students (including three-and-two-segment, academic examination, "3+ certificate", independent enrollment and general high school enrollment). Among them, the summer general college entrance examination in Guangdong Province announced plans to enroll 1938 students. For the first time, it enrolled students from outside the province, including 8 provinces and autonomous regions such as Guizhou, Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Henan and Shanxi. There are 50 enrollment majors in the school this year. Compared with last year, there are three new majors: intelligent internet technology, intelligent construction technology and sports art performance.

Paifang locomotive will be built into a brand of scientific and technological locomotive with the courage to create and challenge and an excellent locomotive service provider with friendliness, innovation and intelligence.

Jurassic World 3’s special effects scene is high enough, and the story collapses.

Watching a blockbuster is both sad and happy. At this time, there is really no one except Jurassic World 3.

First of all, I would like to remind you that you should read all the 2D versions. 3D is rubbish, and the most stereoscopic part of the whole process is subtitles. If the text is not ghosted after taking off my glasses, I really won’t wear it.

Let’s talk about movies again. From Jurassic Park in 1993 to Jurassic World 3 in 2022, this audio-visual feast started by Spielberg finally went through 29 years and graduated smoothly with the transcripts of six big movies.

As a result, the latest film has really moved a lot of thoughts. The two generations starred in the same box and paid tribute to many scenes, which really made people excited and infinitely sad. It turns out that the dinosaur world that has been with us since childhood is really coming to an end. Think about it, the park is gone, and Nubra Island and Sana Island are also gone.

Otherwise, is it to continue to open the next series "Jurassic Universe"? At present, even the technology and art that Hollywood is holding back can’t create a brand-new future for this series. The current ability has brought this series to the extreme.

At that time, a Jurassic Park was amazing, not only relying on the special effects that made people’s eyes wide open and stunned their chins, but also a variety of whimsical adventure stories and humanized packages of family and friendship. After that, although computer stunts have been improved, there are more and more dinosaurs appearing in the camera, but the level of storytelling has declined. Until now, the rhythm of this film and the cliché of the story have been unbearable.

It is a bit harsh to criticize the story of an audio-visual blockbuster. However, with all that money spent, is it difficult to polish the script well? It may be really difficult, and this is by no means a quality that can simply be piled up with money. Therefore, when watching movies, you should focus on dinosaurs, and don’t take the story too seriously. However, sneaking into a biological company to extract samples of large locusts still makes people unable to help but complain about the security level of such a high-tech company.

However, the Jurassic racing scene in Malta was really unprecedented and very exciting. As well as the take-off and fall of the worn-out aircraft, it is also a wonderful highlight moment. At the same time, the protagonists who have been touched by the golden finger, one more like Xiaoqiang who can’t be killed than the other, also weaken the authenticity of the characters and stories to a certain extent.

And, in the underground dinosaur trading market, there are still many shocking pictures, such as the Colosseum, such as roasted dinosaurs, and dinosaur pets that are sold in various places, etc … The evil of human nature is vividly presented. Although this is a film creation based on science, there are many confusing places. For example, if someone is irradiated with a laser pen, the trained dinosaur killer will be in hot pursuit, which is also a category of metaphysics to a large extent.

Therefore, the bittersweet thing about watching Jurassic World 3 lies in cheering for this film to save the extremely weak film market in time. After all, we have suffered from popcorn blockbusters for a long time, but we really feel sorry for its many shortcomings in quality. But anyway, we have to say goodbye to the whole Jurassic era.

I saw the IMAX version of 3D on the first day of release. Let’s brush it in another hall for another day. As a dinosaur enthusiast, after all, there are dozens of dinosaurs emerging in it, but it’s really not very detailed to identify them one by one. However, a poster of IMAX version is of great scientific significance. You can compare it.

Isn’t the extended-range car suitable for running at high speed?

With the coming of the May Day holiday, more and more new energy troops have joined the ranks of long-distance travel, but it is inevitable to replenish energy for long-distance travel, and the lower the energy consumption, the longer the battery life and the fewer times of recharging. Therefore, the lower the energy consumption and fuel consumption of new energy vehicles is also something that must be considered for long-distance travel, and it should be divided into two situations. Pure electric vehicles have low energy consumption and less charging times, which is not only convenient and fast, but also does not need to compete with others for charging guns at high speed. For hybrid vehicles, not only the city should save fuel, but also the high-speed vehicles should save fuel. After all, no one wants their "new energy vehicles" to consume more fuel than traditional fuel vehicles. Today, we will start with the energy consumption of various new energy vehicles and summarize the high-speed energy consumption performance of four types of new energy vehicles.

Pure electric vehicles are also divided into high and low energy consumption

High-speed working conditions are relatively high energy consumption for pure electric vehicles, so the battery life of many electric vehicles under high-speed working conditions will be discounted, and even the loss of some vehicles is more exaggerated, but pure electric vehicles are also divided into high and low energy consumption, so which electric vehicle is more energy-saving? First of all, there are models with advantages in algorithm and electronic control motor. Tesla is an electric vehicle with good high-speed energy consumption performance at present, mainly because its algorithm is excellent and the electronic control motor is advanced. Of course, many domestic models also perform well in this respect, so I won’t give an example one by one.

In addition, there are pure electric vehicles with gearboxes. At present, such electric vehicles are relatively rare. Typical representatives are Porsche taycan, Lotus Eletler+,SAIC MarvelR and Audi e-tronSportback. These vehicles are all high-end models, and they all adopt 2AT gearboxes, which can shift gears at high speed and reduce high-speed energy consumption. In addition, the high-speed energy consumption of new energy vehicles with light weight and low drag coefficient is also excellent.

Plug-in hybrid also has two poles.

At present, there are two technical routes for plug-in and hybrid vehicles in China, one is the E-CVT direct drive scheme headed by BYD, and the other is the multi-gear DHT scheme represented by Great Wall Geely. The high-speed energy consumption performance of these two schemes is also different. The faster the direct drive scheme is, the higher the energy consumption is, especially in the case of heavy vehicles, and the high-speed fuel consumption is much higher than that in urban areas. The more gears in the multi-gear DHT scheme, the lower the high-speed energy consumption, which is the difference between the two schemes.

Extended range hybrid high-speed fuel consumption is the highest

The extended-range hybrid has a simple structure, and the driving quality is almost the same as that of pure electric vehicles. However, due to the lack of direct-drive function, the energy consumption of extended-range vehicles under high-speed conditions is terrible, which is completely opposite to that of conventional fuel vehicles under high-speed conditions. Especially, some extended-range vehicles with relatively large vehicle weight, such as the ideal L series, can achieve high-speed fuel consumption of about 9L kilometers, even higher than that of fuel vehicles of the same size, comparable to some full-size SUVs with V8 engines. This is mainly because the engine does not participate in direct-drive and can only do its best.

保时捷TAYCAN

Summary: At present, the energy consumption performance of most electric vehicles on the market at high speed is average, while the energy consumption performance of gearboxes in hybrid models is better than that of direct-drive models, while the extended-range models have the highest energy consumption at high speed, which is the least recommended for long-term high-speed use. Therefore, you should be clear about your own use needs and buy cars according to actual needs. (Text/Youshi Automobile Haoyang)

GDP doubled in ten years, and China’s economic strength achieved a historic leap.

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, December 14th Title: GDP doubled in ten years, and China’s economic strength achieved a historic leap.

Xinhua News Agency reporter Wei Yukun

More than 120 trillion yuan-

From 2013 to 2022, China’s gross domestic product (GDP) increased from 59.3 trillion yuan to 121 trillion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of more than 6%. According to the annual average exchange rate, the total economic output reached 18 trillion US dollars, ranking second in the world.

In 2023, the main expected goals of China’s economic and social development are expected to be successfully achieved, which also means that China’s economic aggregate will continue to grow steadily.

Since the new era, China’s economic aggregate has doubled, and its development has stood at a new and higher historical starting point:

From the time line, in 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2021, China’s GDP successively crossed 60 trillion yuan, 70 trillion yuan, 80 trillion yuan, 90 trillion yuan, 100 trillion yuan and 110 trillion yuan, and exceeded 120 trillion yuan in 2022.

In 2020, China is the only major economy in the world with positive economic growth. In recent three years, the average annual economic growth of China has reached 4.5%, which is about 2.5 percentage points higher than the world average. In 2023, China’s economic growth rate will continue to be in the forefront of major economies.

Vertically, at present, China’s annual GDP increment has far exceeded the annual GDP in the early 1990s. The increment brought by the 1% growth rate of China’s economy is equivalent to about 2.1% 10 years ago.

While the economic aggregate continues to increase, the per capita GDP has achieved new breakthroughs. In the past 10 years, China’s per capita GDP has increased from 43,497 yuan to 85,698 yuan. According to the annual average exchange rate, China’s per capita GDP reached $12,741 in 2022, and remained above $12,000 for two consecutive years.

China’s economic share in the world has steadily increased, and its international influence is increasing day by day.

In the past 10 years, the proportion of China’s total economic output in the world economy has risen from 12.3% to about 18%, and the total trade in goods has been ranked first in the world for six consecutive years, with an average annual contribution rate of over 30% to the world economic growth, which has always been the biggest engine to promote the world economic growth.

Foreign exchange reserves rank first in the world. In the past 10 years, China’s foreign exchange reserves have been stable at more than 3 trillion US dollars, and the balance of foreign exchange reserves reached 3,127.7 billion US dollars by the end of 2022. Under the background of complex and severe external situation and rising uncertainty, the huge and stable foreign exchange reserves provide a strong guarantee for China’s economy to resist external risk shocks.

Groups of data witness the steady improvement of China’s comprehensive national strength, international influence and people’s living standards, showing that China’s development foundation is stronger, its development quality is better and its development momentum is more abundant.

This year is the first year of fully implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and the year of economic recovery and development after three years of epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19.

Facing the complicated international political and economic environment and arduous domestic reform, development and stability tasks, China’s economy has successfully withstood external pressure, overcome internal difficulties and achieved a recovery: the GDP in the first three quarters reached 91,302.7 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 5.2% at constant prices.

Based on their long-term optimism about the China market, foreign financial institutions continue to "overweight" the China bond market. According to the data of the People’s Bank of China, overseas institutions have made net purchases of Chinese bonds for nine consecutive months. Since 2023, the cumulative net purchases have reached nearly 1 trillion yuan, of which the net purchases of foreign capital in October have exceeded 200 billion yuan, and it is expected that the increase in holdings in November will reach 250 billion yuan.

Recently, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and many other international organizations have intensively raised China’s economic growth expectations and cast a "vote of confidence" for China’s economy.

The IMF raised China’s GDP growth forecast for 2023 from the previous 5% to 5.4%, while raising its GDP growth forecast for 2024. OECD raised the forecast of China’s GDP growth rate to 5.2% in 2023. The Asian Development Outlook 2023 (December Edition) recently released by the Asian Development Bank predicts that China’s economic growth rate will reach 5.2% in 2023, higher than the 4.9% predicted in September.

The just-concluded Central Economic Work Conference pointed out that, on the whole, the favorable conditions facing China’s development are stronger than the unfavorable factors, and the basic trend of economic recovery for the good and long-term good has not changed, so it is necessary to enhance confidence and confidence.

Han Wenxiu, deputy director of the Central Finance Office in charge of daily work and director of the Central Agricultural Office, said that in 2023, China’s contribution to global economic growth was about one-third, making it the largest engine of the world economy. "Compared with last year, compared with other countries, China’s development achievements are convincing, and it can be said that the scenery here is unique."

Changes in home appliance industry: Haier’s revenue catches up with Gree, and small household appliances welcome new entrants.

The 2019 annual report and the first quarterly report in 2020 of domestic home appliance enterprises are basically in line, and the downward pressure on the performance of most home appliance enterprises is obvious.

With the general decline in revenue, the income ranking of the big three household appliances has undergone subtle changes. Midea Group’s performance reached a new high. Haier Intelligence overtook Gree Electric to rank second. In terms of color TV, the boost of Huawei’s smart screen to the confidence of the color TV market was not reflected in the performance, and the revenues of Konka, Changhong, Skyworth and Hisense declined.

In contrast, the overall scale of household appliances has maintained growth due to the continuous emergence of new categories. Midea, Supor, Jiuyang, and Xiaoxiong Electric Appliances have shown good pressure resistance under the epidemic situation. In the kitchen appliance market, the growth rate of kitchen appliance companies such as Boss, Vantage and Wanhe slowed down, and the revenue of main products declined.

Under the price war, the air-conditioning business is both ice and fire.

In 2019, the performance of Midea Group, Gree Electric and Haier Zhijia, the three giants of home appliances, changed subtly. The growth rate of each revenue shows signs of slowing down, but the range is obviously different.

In 2019, the revenue gap between Gree Electric and Midea Group widened. Midea Group achieved revenue of 279.381 billion yuan last year, a year-on-year increase of 6.71%; In the same period, Gree Electric’s total operating income was 200.508 billion yuan, up only 0.24% year-on-year. Haier Zhijia achieved an operating income of 200.762 billion yuan last year, a year-on-year increase of 9.1%, and its revenue surpassed that of Gree Electric.

The above changes in performance are inseparable from the air-conditioning market situation in 2019. Last year, Gree reported Oaks, and the price war in the industry started again. The air-conditioning business of the three companies is two worlds apart.

In 2019, the proportion of Gree air-conditioning business revenue fell below 70%. During the reporting period, Gree’s air-conditioning business revenue was 138.665 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 10.93%, accounting for 69.99% of the revenue. Compared with 78.58% in the same period last year.

Compared with Gree, Midea Group’s air-conditioning business performed relatively stably last year. In 2019, Midea Group’s HVAC revenue was 119.607 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.34%, accounting for 42.99% of revenue. Last year, the revenue difference between Midea Group and Gree air-conditioning business was 19.1 billion yuan, the smallest in the past eight years. On the other hand, Haier Zhijia, air conditioning has become the most obvious business with declining performance. In 2019, Haier’s air-conditioning product revenue was 29.128 billion yuan, down 8.32% year-on-year.

In the second echelon, Hisense’s air-conditioning business achieved a main business income of 16.369 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.92%; Changhong Meiling air-conditioning business realized operating income of about 5.909 billion yuan, down 12.81% year-on-year.

In terms of profit, Midea Group achieved a net profit of 24.211 billion yuan in 2019, a year-on-year increase of 19.68%. Midea Group’s net profit reached a new high, approaching Gree Electric. In the same period, Gree Electric’s net profit was 24.697 billion yuan, down 5.75% year-on-year; Haier Zhijia’s net profit was 8.206 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.7%.

The epidemic also affected the air-conditioning market in the first quarter. According to the data of Aowei Cloud, in the first quarter of this year, the scale of the air-conditioning industry was 14.92 billion yuan, down 58.1% year-on-year.

The quarterly report of the home appliance giant also confirmed the market downturn. In the first quarter, Midea Group’s revenue decreased by 22.86% and its net profit decreased by 21.51%. Haier Zhijia’s revenue decreased by 11.09% year-on-year, and its net profit decreased by 50.16% year-on-year; Gree Electric’s scare was even more obvious. In the first quarter, its revenue decreased by 49.70% and its net profit decreased by 72.53%.

Affected by the epidemic situation and the implementation of the new national standard for air-conditioning energy efficiency, the uncertainty of the air-conditioning market still exists. On the evening of April 29th, Dong Mingzhu told the Beijing News reporter, "Despite the resumption of production in April, the liquidity is still very small. We were affected in the first quarter, and it still has an impact in the second quarter so far."

Ultra HD and glory smart screen failed to boost the performance of color TV enterprises.

In 2019, the color TV retail market continued to be sluggish. According to the data of Aowei Cloud, the annual retail sales volume was 47.72 million units, down 2.0% year-on-year, and the retail sales volume was 134 billion yuan, down 11.2% year-on-year. The demand for color TVs declined for the first time in six years.

The market downturn is reflected in color TV enterprises, which is the decline in performance. . In 2019, Konka Group’s operating income was 55.119 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 19.49%; The net profit was 212 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 48.45%. Konka Group attributed the decline in performance to the loss of color TV business to a certain extent due to factors such as rising costs and intensified market competition. In 2019, Konka Group’s color TV business revenue was 8.766 billion yuan, accounting for 15.90%, down 11.39% year-on-year.

Sichuan Changhong also suffered a decline in performance due to the loss of color TV products. In 2019, Changhong’s operating income was 88.79 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.5%; The net profit was 330 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 49.4%. Among them, the TV business realized an operating income of 11.13 billion yuan, down 16.1% year-on-year.

Skyworth Group’s overall turnover last year was 37.277 billion yuan, down 4.4% year-on-year, and its net profit was 747 million yuan. The turnover of multimedia business including color TV business was 21.505 billion yuan, down 13.3% year-on-year.

Last year, Hisense’s video revenue was 34.105 billion yuan, down 2.91% year-on-year; The net profit was 556 million yuan, up 41.71% year-on-year. Hisense’s TV business revenue was 29.383 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 3.54%.

From the perspective of TV business revenue volume, Hisense Video occupies the first place, Skyworth ranks second, and the proportion of TV business of Sichuan Changhong and Konka Group further decreases. Judging from the decline in revenue, Hisense TV has strong pressure resistance, with a decline of 3.54%, while the other three companies all fell by more than 10%.

In 2019, opportunities and challenges coexist in the color TV market. In the first half of the year, high definition became the hottest topic in the color TV industry. The Action Plan for the Development of Ultra HD Video Industry (2019-2022) mentions that in 2022, the overall scale of China’s ultra HD video industry will exceed 4 trillion yuan, the 4K industrial ecosystem will be basically perfect, and breakthroughs will be made in the R&D and industrialization of 8K key technology products, forming a group of internationally competitive enterprises. In the second half of the year, the Glory Smart Screen equipped with HarmonyOS system went on the market, which greatly boosted the color TV industry. Many color TV companies have launched smart new products, and socialization, intelligence and ultra-high definition have become the focus of competition among enterprises. However, from the annual reports of various color TV companies, the boost effect is limited.

The first quarterly report of color TV enterprises this year is hardly optimistic. Konka Group’s revenue fell by 27.53%, with a loss of 221 million yuan; Sichuan Changhong’s revenue fell by 18.65%, with a loss of 352 million yuan; Hisense’s video revenue decreased by 11.26% year-on-year, and its net profit was 51.37 million yuan, an increase of 91.79%.

Under the epidemic situation, small household appliances are resistant to pressure, and many enterprises enter the market.

Compared with the weakening of air-conditioning and color TV industries, small household appliances have performed well in pressure resistance. According to AVC data, in 2019, the sales of seven categories of small household appliances (cooker, magnet, pressure, bean, material, press and water) increased by 1.6% year-on-year, and the sales increased by 14.9% year-on-year.

In 2019, Midea, Supor and Jiuyang still occupied the top three shares of small household appliances. Midea Group’s small household appliances business occupies a major position. In 2019, the company’s consumer appliances revenue including refrigerators, washing machines, kitchen appliances and other small household appliances business was 109.487 billion yuan, up 6.31% year-on-year, accounting for 39.35% of the revenue.

In 2019, Supor’s operating income was 19.853 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 11.22%, and its net profit was 1.920 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 14.97%. In the same period, Jiuyang’s operating income was 9.351 billion yuan, up 14.48% year on year, and its net profit was 824 million yuan, up 9.26% year on year.

As a newly listed company of small household appliances, Bear Electric has performed well. Xiaoxiong Electric’s operating income was 2.688 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 31.70%; The net profit was 268 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 44.57%; The gross profit margin of most categories of small kitchen appliances is above 36%.

Under the epidemic situation, small household appliances have gone against the trend. Consumers are more and more at home, and cooking opportunities have increased. Interest in frying, frying and baking small household appliances with low current holdings has sprouted, and it has ushered in a "blowout" increase in a short period of time.

In the first quarter of 2020, thanks to the small household appliances business, Midea Group’s performance declined less than Gree and Haier. In the same period, Jiuyang’s revenue decreased by 5.37% and its net profit decreased by 9.91%. Supor’s revenue decreased by 30.29% and its net profit decreased by 40.44%. Xiaoxiong Electric grew against the trend in the first quarter, and its revenue increased by 17.32% year-on-year; Net profit increased by 83.66% year on year.

In the first quarter, many enterprises entered the small household appliances in succession. In March, Feike Electric announced that in order to realize the concentric multi-category strategy focusing on small household appliances and improve the product chain of small household appliances such as personal care appliances, household appliances and kitchen appliances, Feike Electric acquired a total of 15% equity of Pure Rice Technology.

In April, Fangtai Group released its first light kitchen brand "Mibo". This is the first time that Fangtai Group has entered the field of small kitchen appliances after many years of deep cultivation in the field of kitchen appliances.

On the evening of April 29th, Dong Mingzhu said in an interview with the Beijing News reporter, "The one who made small household appliances this year is doing very well. You may turn on the TV and find this little thing very interesting. You can buy one for two or three hundred yuan. If 100 million people buy it, there will be tens of billions of markets. Like our population of 1.4 billion, if we have an average of 100 yuan per person, there will be 140 billion yuan. "

The Beijing News reporter noted that the categories of household appliances in Gree Electric are also enriched. In 2019, Gree Electric continued to explore the business of kitchen appliances and small household appliances, and the revenue of household appliances was 5.576 billion yuan, accounting for 2.81% of the revenue, up 46.96% year-on-year.

The growth rate of kitchen appliance manufacturers has slowed down, and high gross profit is still there.

In 2019, the kitchen appliance market in China is still in the downward channel. According to the data of Aowei Cloud, the retail sales of range hoods in 2019 was 35.24 billion, down 7.5% year-on-year; The retail sales of gas stoves reached 20.02 billion, down 4.1% year-on-year.

At present, Midea, Gree and Haier all have layouts in kitchen appliances. Haier Zhijia’s kitchen appliance revenue in 2019 was 29.509 billion yuan, an increase of 18.27%. According to the data provided by the unlisted Fangtai Group, the sales revenue reached 10.8 billion yuan in 2019, which was basically the same for the whole year on the basis of the large negative growth in the first half of the year.

The growth rate of boss’s electrical appliance revenue slowed down, and Vantage and Wanhe Electric reduced their income one after another. In 2019, Boss Electric’s operating income was 7.761 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.52%, and its net profit was 1.59 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.89%; Vantage’s operating income was 5.748 billion yuan, down 5.69% year on year, and its net profit was 748 million yuan, up 10.46% year on year. Vanward Electric’s total operating income was 6.22 billion yuan, down 10.04% year on year, and its net profit was 598 million yuan, up 22.33% year on year.

Although the growth rate of performance has slowed down or declined, the high gross profit of kitchen appliances is still there. Boss Electric’s main product range hood gross profit margin was 58.47%, up 2.30% year-on-year; The gross profit margin of gas stoves was 56.01%, up 1.57% year-on-year. Vantage range hood gross profit margin was 51.14%, up 3.10% year-on-year; The gross profit margin of stoves was 52.80%, up 3.03% year-on-year; The gross profit margin of water heaters was 45.88%, a slight increase of 0.36% year-on-year.

The gross profit margin of domestic hot water products of Wanhe Electric was 41.07%, up 4.37% year-on-year; The gross profit margin of kitchen electrical products was 22.94%, up 5.50% year-on-year.

In 2019, integrated stoves, water purifiers, dishwashers, and steaming and baking machines became the focus of the expansion of various kitchen appliances companies. Di Chin Smart Kitchen Appliances, which is responsible for the integrated stove business, has a revenue of 230 million yuan and a net profit of 49.86 million yuan; The water purifier revenue was 77.53 million yuan. Vantage steaming and baking machine revenue was 102 million yuan, and the operating income of water purifier was 86.46 million yuan. Wanhe Electric’s sales of water purifiers are 65.3047 million yuan, and the sales of integrated stoves are 27.3745 million yuan.

In the context of the overall slowdown in performance growth, kitchen appliances companies are still keen on advertising. Boss’s advertising expenses for electrical appliances were 458 million yuan, compared with 598 million yuan in the same period of last year. Vantage spent 320 million yuan on advertising, compared with 319 million yuan in the same period of last year. Advertising expenses were 80.03 million yuan, compared with 88.41 million yuan in the same period of last year.

During the epidemic, kitchen appliances were greatly affected, online sales were bleak, and offline sales tended to stagnate. The performance of kitchen appliances companies in the first quarter of 2020 declined significantly. Boss Electric’s revenue in the first quarter was 1.266 billion yuan, down 23.77% year-on-year, and its net profit was 245 million yuan, down 23.35% year-on-year. Vantage’s revenue was 691 million yuan, down 48.07% year on year, and its net profit was 46.35 million yuan, down 65.01% year on year. Wanhe Electric’s revenue was 1.43 billion yuan, down 29.29% year on year, and its net profit was 128 million yuan, down 27.93% year on year.

Official Media Review 996: Illegal, Overworked and Fake Struggle

  Recently, the discussion on the topic of "996 working system" has been heating up. The so-called "996 working system" means that employees arrive at work at 9: 00 a.m. every day and work until 9: 00 p.m., six days a week. From an Internet company’s public announcement at the annual meeting to the "996.ICU" protest initiated by programmers, and to the opinions expressed by many star entrepreneurs in recent days, this topic has become a social hot spot of concern to the whole people. The semi-monthly talk, which has the reputation of being the first magazine in China, has repeatedly commented on the 996 working system and analyzed it from different angles.

Talk about 996— — Keywords "illegal"

  [Advocating the 996 working system, who gave "praise" the courage to openly violate the law? 】

  At the company’s annual meeting in 2018, which was praised by e-commerce, executives announced on the spot that they would implement the 996 working system in the future, and even said that they could divorce if their work-family balance was not good, which not only made some employees feel dissatisfied, but also caused controversy. Praise CEO White Crow responded that it is definitely a good thing to look back this time a few years later, so that more people can understand the praise culture, and it will also make talents think carefully when they want to enter, so that they will not be different before and after coming.

  Article 36 of China’s labor law: the state implements a working-hour system in which workers work no more than eight hours a day and no more than forty-four hours a week on average; Article 90 stipulates that if an employer violates the provisions of this law and extends the working hours of workers, the labor administrative department shall give a warning, order it to make corrections and may impose a fine.

  According to the Youzan 996 working system, employees work up to 11.5 hours a day and work overtime for more than 100 hours a month, which obviously exceeds the working hours stipulated by the state. "Zanzan" made a big splash when it announced this illegal work system, and it was also justified when it responded. However, no matter whether "praise" wants to take the opportunity to lay off people or reduce wages in disguise, CEO regards illegality as a "good thing" and sublimates it into corporate culture. This is not only a problem of distorted values, but also a bad environment with high cost of safeguarding rights and low risk of illegality in the current labor market. Rights protection can’t rely solely on individuals, and relevant departments must "shoot when it’s time to shoot" according to law. At present, many enterprises are talking about the wolf nature. This desperate working mode, after putting on the coat of "struggle", has almost become a poisonous chicken soup for squeezing employees. I hope those companies that advocate the 996 working system and regard it as the standard understand that before talking about wolf nature, we must first talk about human nature. For those enterprises that deliberately ignore human nature and want to decorate the facade by one or two "family days", the relevant departments must be tough, give employees the confidence to defend their rights, and let the enterprises involved see the severity of the law.

Two Comments on Half-monthly Talks 996— — Keywords "overwork"

  [Beware of the normalization of the "996" working system that gave birth to the "overworked generation"]

  Nowadays, the trend of 996 working system spreading from internet companies to various industries is worrying. Many workers are trapped by this working system and forced to become "overworked generation" in endless overtime. This means that in the state that the 996 working system has become a hidden rule in the industry, even if you choose to change jobs, you still can’t get rid of the overtime curse. It is the workplace that changes and the working hours remain unchanged.

  In fact, the 996 working system has been invisible for many years. However, it used to be covered with a layer of "flexible working system", but now it is openly declared as a normal working mode by some companies. Some companies use the so-called "struggle" to whitewash the 996 working system, and some companies use "high salary" to achieve a game with workers on the 996 working system. While the downward pressure on the economy is increasing, more companies normalize the 996 working system, while doing everything possible to reduce the overtime pay that workers deserve, so as to save costs and increase profits.

  The social harm of 996 working system is self-evident, which overdraws the health and energy of workers, damages the interest and enthusiasm of a generation for work, and then has a negative impact on sustainable economic development and social harmony. Perhaps at present, the number of enterprises implementing the 996 working system has not reached the majority, but in the public opinion field with the magnifying effect of the Internet, the dissatisfaction caused by 996 is immeasurable to the society. A few days ago, an article "In my parents ‘ 996’ In front of us, the news that Japanese young people choose low desire has aroused people’s concern, and we should be alert to the hidden worries behind it.

  In the face of the 996 working system, which is striding forward to normalization, the government labor department and the relevant institutions on which workers rely for safeguarding their rights cannot remain silent. After all, people work for a better life, not to give up their lives for work.

Three Comments on Half-monthly Talks 996— — Keywords "pseudo-struggle"

  [996 has nothing to do with struggle, but with interests]

  The discussion on the 996 working system in the public opinion field has been going on for some time, but it is still not over, and even "climax after climax" from time to time. This in itself is a puzzling phenomenon: why has an obviously illegal practice been standing, even entangled in the basic right and wrong issues? I’m afraid the reason lies in the related interests, so that the defenders of 996 refused to admit it even in the face of common sense recognized by most people.

  Needless to say, the defenders of 996 have a strong lineup, among which there are some star entrepreneurs that our society most respects. Their arguments themselves have a strong personality color, and naturally have the star aura of the protagonist, so they are very confusing.

  Moreover, some people are good at occupying the commanding heights of morality. For example, their core "rhetoric" is to link, bind and even uniquely equate 996 with struggle. In their discussion, 996 is illegal and unreasonable, which is nothing, as long as a "struggle" is enough: without struggle, where can there be a future? No, where did 996 come from? For the future, shouldn’t it be 996? For the future, it must be 996! Only 996!

  In order to "consolidate" this logic, "winners" presented their own "selfless work" and moved out a large set of tall sayings and examples, even "two bombs and one star" were used to say things. They even stigmatized the legal 8-hour work as the opposite of 996. Those who work honestly for 8 hours just don’t work hard, struggle, seek stability, "have no future" and so on. This is a series of extremely confusing operations. It’s a pity that this logic is wrong from the beginning. This artificially set formula "996= Struggle" does not exist, and the resulting series of deductions are naturally just mistakes.

  Struggle must be voluntary, supported by a sense of responsibility for the cause and confidence in the future. For 996, which is enforced by enterprises, if there is no system to implement the rigidity of the consistency of employees’ interests and enterprises’ interests, and there is no system to ensure that employees have a solid future, the struggle cannot exist. When employees lack the protection of long-term contracts, they will be laid off at any time, and there is no definite return to reward their sense of responsibility, even overtime pay. At this time, talking about struggle is tantamount to "why not eat meat?" At the end of the demographic dividend, forcing 996 is a double-edged sword. Squeezing employees by killing the goose that lays the golden eggs will inevitably overdraw the future and bring negative effects to the long-term development of enterprises.

  I have to say that although this bowl of chicken soup carefully cooked by star entrepreneurs looks tall, it is obviously toxic and it is difficult for workers to laugh. What needs to be vigilant is that this kind of poisonous chicken soup argument is tantamount to deconstructing the spirit of struggle and the construction of a society ruled by law. It has been repeatedly brought out, which will interfere with the main theme of the times to carry forward the spirit of struggle and cause ideological confusion.

  996 is not synonymous with struggle, it is more related to legal and interest issues. Advise people who are interested in promoting the normalization of 996: please honestly talk about the interests under the legal framework, don’t confuse the audience with so many lofty words, but actually come up with an interest protection system that allows workers to share joys and sorrows with enterprises. What we need is a legitimate and reasonable spirit of struggle, a spirit of dedication and responsibility to ourselves, our family and our country. If we separate these, the spirit of struggle will become passive water and a tree without roots.
