The weather is getting cooler, and the concerts are still hot. Since the beginning of this year, Mayday, Liu Ruoying, Liang Jingru, Wu Bai, Ren Xianqi, TFboys and other celebrities have started singing in Chongqing, setting off waves of craze. Looking across the country, "Go to a city for a concert" "Spend 500 to buy Wu Bai’s tickets and sing 500 to Wu Bai" and other hot searches have emerged one after another. Next, there are many concerts to be sung, and some venues have been scheduled until 2025…

　　Behind the explosion of the concert is healing, feelings, and the chemical reaction brought about by the release of long-suppressed demand, but with it, there are also chaos such as "unable to grab tickets", "strong real-name system out of shape", "poor singer condition", "fans shouting refund tickets on the spot". What new changes have emerged behind the popularity? When the concert fever enters the second half, how can the traffic become the "retention" of the city?

　　From chasing stars to pursuing "healing" concerts into a collective carnival

　　"I can’t grab it, I can’t grab it at all." This past weekend, Wu Bai started singing in Chongqing. Citizen Hu Lisa is an old fan of Wu Bai and especially wants to participate in the "chorus". Unfortunately, she didn’t get tickets for both games. No matter how many strategies she did before, such as turning off all the programs on her mobile phone and finding the place with the best signal, there were too many people grabbing tickets. "Instead, it was my friend, a passerby fan who got it."

　　More and more "passersby fans" are entering the concert scene, which is a new phenomenon this year. They often don’t chase stars, just to enjoy the atmosphere. "I haven’t seen a concert for three years. This time at the door of my house, I have to arrange it no matter what, and focus on a happy one." After watching the Mayday concert, Chongqing audience Chen Han hurriedly sent a set of photos to Moments, and the happy trip ended successfully.

　　Zheng Xiaolin, a Guangzhou-based spectator, has seen three concerts a month. "It’s really relieving," she said. When she walked into the venue, she saw the crowd dressed up to watch the concert and the smiles on everyone’s faces, she felt "the moment is so good" and instantly forgot all troubles. At the scene, there will also be a certain lyric that makes her chest feel like it was hit, "the resonance is especially strong."

　　Happiness and healing have become high-frequency words for watching concerts. The crowd at concerts can bring a short-term emotional release, and even if they are not chasing stars, people can get healing here. To a certain extent, watching concerts has gradually changed from an internal carnival of fan groups to a collective carnival of public participation.

　　In this regard, Yang Yongfeng, an associate professor at the School of Geography and Tourism of Chongqing Normal University, explained: This is the inevitable result of the concentrated release of market demand for large-scale cultural and entertainment activities after the three-year epidemic. "Previously, people were confined to a small family or unit space, and they had a thirst for inner emotions and group connections, and they needed a leisure method similar to a concert to release and resolve."

　　The market has also captured this mentality of the public. Since the beginning of this year, performance venues across the country have increased the number of performances to "seamless". Take the Mayday Chongqing concert as an example. From September 22 to 24, the Chongqing Olympic Sports Center held three consecutive days and three consecutive games, 120,000 fans flocked to the venues. "After mastering the audience’s love for concerts, the performers have more confidence. It is normal to have dense performances." Yang Yongfeng said that this is the law of the market economy and the need for economic and social development.

　　The audience called out "rollover scene"

　　The concert has frequent negative reviews

　　At the same time as the popularity, there have also been some chaos. Since the second half of the year, many negative news and comments about the concert have been trending. For example, the TFboys Xi’an concert saw a phenomenon of "scalpers" hyping ticket prices. Shortly after the official announcement, the first row of tickets was fried to tens of thousands of yuan. On the day of the concert, there were also conflicts between fan groups over the competition for the support venue.

　　Yang Yongfeng believes that there is a disorder in the ticket management of many concerts, and the emergence of "scalpers" not only damages the rights and interests of consumers, but also directly causes market chaos. Most of the concert audiences are young people, and everyone’s safety awareness is relatively lacking. Emotions are easy to get excited, coupled with the imperfect security mechanism of the organizers, unclear rights and responsibilities, etc., which can easily make the scene lose control.

　　On the other hand, the quality of some concerts has aroused doubts among netizens. At Liang Jingru’s concert in Nanjing, more than one audience member reported encountering "pillar tickets" and the location was occupied; at the Chengdu concert, Xue Zhiqian had to stop halfway due to fever and tonsillitis; Miriam Yang’s Xiamen concert, the 580 yuan ticket seats were so dirty that fans did not dare to sit; Jay Chou’s Tianjin concert was suspected of being trapped in props for 20 minutes; at the Hainan "Diva Night" concert, the audience complained that "the song could not be heard clearly and the sound effect was poor"… In this regard, Yang Yongfeng said that there were many performances, heavy tasks, and after the high-intensity "special forces" performance, the singer would inevitably be in poor condition; the organizers blindly pursued economic interests or the pursuit of scenes, lacked control over the status of the guests, and ignored the audience’s feelings; The equipment was not well maintained, the seating arrangement was unreasonable, and the effect was also reduced. If a concert with the selling point of "star effect + live experience" finally brought such an experience to everyone, it would only consume everyone’s enthusiasm and chill the fans.

　　Go to a city for a concert

　　How to turn traffic into city "retention"

　　Although there are a series of practical problems, it has to be admitted that the intensive holding of concerts has brought real popularity and consumption power to the city.

　　According to the China Performing Arts Association’s observation of the first quarter of this year, one of the new trends in concert ticket sales is that the proportion of consumers who buy tickets to watch performances across cities has increased significantly, with an average cross-city viewing rate exceeding 50%. Industry insiders believe that compared with simple tourism, concerts attract more "gold content". The data also confirms this – before and after the Mayday Chongqing concert, the number of views of Chongqing hotels, restaurants, etc. rose rapidly, and it was difficult to find a room in the hotels around the Olympic Sports Center; TFboys Xi’an concert ticket revenue was 35.76 million yuan, which directly drove 416 million yuan in tourism revenue; Ele.me data shows that on October 12, Jay Chou’s Shanghai concert, the day-on-day ratio of Shanghai supper takeout increased by 24%. " Concerts are comprehensive activities that integrate culture, entertainment, and economy. They have a strong’spillover effect ‘. Not only can they bring in considerable ticket revenue, but they can also gather a large number of passengers in a short period of time, driving the development of transportation, accommodation, catering, tourism, and other industries.

　　It is understood that in July this year, the National Development and Reform Commission issued "Measures for Restoration and Expansion of Consumption", which mentioned that it is necessary to promote entertainment and sports exhibition consumption. The countdown will start in 2023, but the popularity of concerts continues. According to Barley Network data, 129,000 people marked Li Ronghao’s Chongqing concert "want to see", Zhang Huimei’s Chongqing concert reached 271,000 people, Eason Chan’s Chengdu concert 743,000 people were hot to grab, and some popular performance venues have been scheduled to 2025.

　　How can the concert develop in a healthy and orderly manner next, and truly turn the traffic into the city’s "retention"? The first priority is to ensure safety. Yang Yongfeng said that local governments should make advance predictions and responses to problems that may affect safety and stability. The police, enterprises, and the police and the public work closely together to truly establish institutional safety management measures to effectively detect, prevent and reduce hidden dangers from the source.

　　Secondly, organizers should strengthen ticketing management. Yang Yongfeng suggested that large-scale concerts implement a real-name ticket purchase and real-name admission system, and establish a refund mechanism. It is also necessary to plug policy loopholes, squeeze the space for "scalpers" to speculate on tickets, and make "strong real names" real and real, so as to truly solve the problem of concert ticket buying. Guide the fan group to establish correct values and cultivate a healthy star-chasing culture.

　　"After this wave of fast-paced and hot topics, the concert market will gradually stabilize." Yang Yongfeng believes that in the future, concerts should combine local characteristics to promote the integrated development of "people’s livelihood + cultural performance + industry", expand and strengthen the concert industry chain, and extend the huge flow of people it brings to the entire cultural tourism consumption chain such as scenic spots, hotels, restaurants, and shopping, so as to fully release the "spillover effect" of the concert economy.

　　Recently, Changan Automobile and Huawei signed an "Investment Cooperation Memorandum" in Shenzhen. Xu Zhijun, chairperson of Huawei, Yu Chengdong, executive director of Huawei and chairperson of BU Intelligent Vehicle Solutions, and Zhu Huarong, chairperson of Changan Automobile, attended the event. According to industry analysts, the cooperation between the two parties will further release technological benefits for the domestic automotive industry, and Avita, as a smart model jointly built by the two parties, may enjoy priority to empower.

　　After all, the reason why Avita, as an emerging smart car brand, can quickly make a name for itself in the domestic market is inseparable from Changan Automobile, Huawei, and Ningde Times, which respectively empower Avita Technology in the fields of vehicle research and development, smart car solutions, and smart energy ecology. Take Avita’s two flagship models as an example, Avita 11 is fully equipped with HI Huawei full-stack smart car solutions, and with strong strength, it has become the world’s first car brand to reach Mount Everest with intelligent driving. The subsequent iteration of Avita 12 is a new benchmark for global luxury smart electric vehicles.

　　According to the official data released by Avita, in November this year, Avita 11 delivered a total of 4,080 units, and at the same time, sales are also steadily increasing. And Avita 12, which went on sale on November 10, orders exceeded 20,000 units in November, and mass deliveries are about to start. At the same time, Avita launched its two flagship models in the Thai market to show overseas fans the charm of China’s intelligent luxury, and its overseas strategy is steadily advancing.

　　From the "Memorandum of Investment Cooperation" signed by Changan Automobile and Huawei in Shenzhen, Huawei plans to integrate the core technologies and resources of the smart car solutions business into the new company. Changan Automobile and related parties will intend to invest in the company and jointly support the company’s future development with Huawei. The new company of Huawei’s car BU business will continue to serve customers with high quality, and work with partners to promote the innovation and leadership of smart car technology and promote the prosperity and development of the automotive industry.

　　From the perspective of the shareholding structure of the new Huawei Car BU company, Changan Automobile, as the only shareholder at present, has a relatively large say in the new company. Furthermore, based on the previous experience in building the Avita brand, the deep coordination and strategic cooperation between Changan Automobile and Huawei this time will be a further innovation and sublimation of the CHN model. Next, the new Huawei Car BU company is likely to tilt more core technologies to Avita, help its existing models OTA upgrade, and empower new smart driving models.

　　Next, Avita will use the technology of Changan Automobile and Huawei to create a more user-friendly smart travel experience for the majority of users, and at the same time set an example to show the world the smart driving strength of China’s own brands.

　　Spring is the best season of the year to plant green and sow green. On February 13, all parts of the province jointly launched the 2023 province-wide promotion of green and beautiful Guangdong ecological construction voluntary tree planting activities. Cadres and masses in various places shoveled soil and supported seedlings for watering. With 100 green and beautiful Guangdong ecological construction demonstration sites in the province as the main places, local tree species such as alpine fir, triangular plum and camphor were widely planted, adding new green to the land of South Guangdong.

　　This year’s event is guided by the "Decision on Deepening Green Beauty Guangdong Ecological Construction" (hereinafter referred to as the "Decision"), with the theme of "Promoting Green Beauty Guangdong Ecological Construction and Promoting Harmonious Coexistence between Man and Nature". A total of 2,453 tree planting points were set up in the province, and five forest chiefs at the provincial, municipal, county, town and village levels participated in the voluntary tree planting activities. The number of people involved in tree planting exceeded 190,000, and the number of trees was over 1 million.

　　Optimize forest stands ? ? Native tree species "play the leading role"

　　Phoenix wood, banyan tree, soil agarwood, iron holly, Shanduying… A large number of native tree species have entered the voluntary tree planting activities, adding green and beauty to Shanwei’s roadside green spaces, scenic spots and parks and other areas. This year, Shanwei will include the "Implementation of Urban and Rural Green Beauty Project to Benefit the People" in the "Ten Practical Things for People’s Livelihoods". It is expected that by the end of this year, 10 forest phase optimization demonstration belts and 11 green beauty Guangdong ecological construction demonstration sites will be completed.

　　Qingyuan Yingde took "bamboo" as the characteristic theme of this voluntary tree planting activity, which is also a pillar industry for enriching the local people. In Yingde, the industry formed around bamboo shoots reached 3.20 billion yuan. With the help of this activity, Qingyuan focused on increasing the planting of evergreen broad-leaved forests, and the city and county jointly planted 66,885 seedlings of various types to continuously optimize the stand and beautiful forest appearance.

　　Continuously improving forest appearance, improving stand quality, and comprehensively and deeply carrying out national voluntary tree planting activities are all key tasks for green and beautiful Guangdong ecological construction put forward in the "Decision", and many prefectures and cities have combined the two. In Yunfu Xinxing Jintai Mountain Forest Park, everyone worked together to plant iron knife wood, golden peach, Hainan red beans, etc., and replanted and interplanted native broad-leaved trees in the existing masson pine pure forest in Jintai Mountain Forest Park. Through the scientific combination of multiple tree species, the internal ecosystem of the forest has become more stable.

　　In the Meizhou Meishe Express Forest Stand Optimization Demonstration Site, newly planted saplings by Meizhou cadres and the masses stand tall in the wind. In the next three years, the demonstration site will achieve an average height of more than 3 meters of forest trees, a preservation rate of more than 85%, and an increase in native broad-leaved trees dominated by precious tree species from 20% to more than 65%. This will achieve accurate improvement in forest quality and a significant increase in the output value of afforestation acres. Effectively solve the problems of single tree species, poor landscape effect, high fire risk coefficient, and high risk of forest diseases and pests. The Meishe Express will be built into a multi-tree, multi-level, and multi-color key landscape corridor out of the city.

　　In the area where the forest facies renovation project of Weiyuan Island Forest Park in Dongguan City is located, party members, cadres and volunteers waved shovels on the mountains to shovel soil and water seedlings. The scene was in full swing, and small saplings suitable for the local soil and climate, such as purple flower wind Suzuki, yellow flower wind Suzuki, camphor trees, iron holly, and yin fragrance, "stood up" on both sides of the hillside. "Today’s voluntary tree planting activity has planted a total of 600 trees. When the trees grow up, the Weiyuan Island forest, which was originally poor in growth and uneven in forest appearance, will form a multi-species, multi-level and multi-color forest ecosystem, further improving the ecological benefits of the forest." The relevant person in charge introduced.

　　Seed recognition, adoption, protection, love, green action

　　Leading cadres, army officers and soldiers, volunteers, student representatives… At the voluntary tree planting site in Sanlingshan National Forest Park, Zhanjiang City, there were busy figures everywhere. On the same day, 10 counties (cities and districts) in Zhanjiang City jointly carried out the voluntary tree planting activity to promote the ecological construction of Green and Beauty Guangdong. According to statistics, the city organized a total of 11 voluntary tree planting sessions, 7523 people participated in the voluntary tree planting, and a total of 63,566 trees were planted.

　　Guangdong’s 21 cities have different populations, areas, and climates. All localities implement the principle of "Seek Truth and Be Pragmatic, Scientific Greening" in the "Decision". There are forestry cities that plant more than 100,000 trees, and some cities that strive for excellence and plant 10,000 saplings. The enthusiasm of the masses for tree planting is not much different in the province.

　　By Moyang Lake, everyone is supporting seedlings and cultivating soil. At the Mini Program, citizens’ enthusiasm for seed adoption is high. Yangjiang continues to broaden the channels for mass participation in the form of "Internet +" seed adoption and adoption this year. Yangjiang, with a population of about 3 million, has participated in voluntary tree planting since "Chuangsen". The number of people who have participated in voluntary tree planting has exceeded 9 million. This year, Yangjiang also adopted some ancient trees for the first time, including plum, neem, stone chestnut, egg flower, longan, camphor tree, blood seal throat, banyan tree and other ancient trees located in parks and villages.

　　Among the participants in the voluntary tree planting in Zhongshan, a group of local entrepreneurs’ representatives stood out. On February 13, they planted 17,000 saplings together with the cadres and masses in Zhongshan. "A tree needs to be cultivated if it wants to grow into a’towering tree ‘. As an enterprise rooted in Zhongshan, we are willing to claim a batch of tree planting tasks, water and maintain it for a long time, and contribute to retaining the green waters and green mountains in Zhongshan," said Zhang Chuanwei, an entrepreneur representative.

　　"What we planted is not only saplings, but also pieces of green hope," said Xu Qingtao, a cadre in Nanxiong Town, Shaoguan, who participated in the tree planting. Although the spring rain still has a trace of coolness, the tree planting site in Nanxiong is in full swing. Everyone formed a group of 3 people and a group of 5 people, and planted 20 mu of saplings in one afternoon. A total of 105 voluntary tree planting activities like this were carried out in Shaoguan, attracting nearly 10,000 people.

　　In Heyuan, many citizens were attracted by the warm atmosphere, donned volunteer vests, and led their children to join the tree planting team. About 117,000 trees were planted in the city that day. Osmanthus, kapok, iron holly, drunken fragrance and smiles and other tree species covered the mountains and plains, connecting the landscape ecology and humanities of Heyuan together. "Green waters and green mountains are becoming Jinshan Yinshan!" Everyone eagerly looked forward to it.

　　Beautify urban and rural areas

　　Sowing green, harvesting hope. In the national reserve forest base of Niu Mian Mountain, Jianqun Village, Jinli Town, Gaoyao District, Zhaoqing, the cadres and masses planted 14,000 trees such as Milao Pai, Acacia blackwood, red cone, Huolinan, and rosewood. "These trees are matched according to the long, medium and short growth cycles to create a broad-leaved mixed forest, and promote the optimization of low-quality and low-efficiency forest stands on both sides of the Xijiang River with points and areas to improve forest appearance," said Ding Jianping, deputy director of the Zhaoqing Forestry Bureau.

　　Standing on Niu Mian Mountain and looking down, the clear water of a bay in the West River winds past; from a distance, the three waters of Foshan on the other side of the river can be faintly seen. Ding Jianping said that considering Niu Mian Mountain is the first scenic line of waterway entering Zhaoqing, the local area will make it the "main venue" for voluntary tree planting in Zhaoqing this year.

　　In this year’s voluntary tree planting activities, many places have combined the national voluntary tree planting activities with the construction of a high-level urban-rural integrated green and beautiful environment, and the high-quality urban-rural green and beautiful ecological environment of "forest and city depend on each other, forest and people blend" has gradually emerged. In Jieyang Puning, citizens planted yellow flower suzuki, purple flower suzuki and kapok at the municipal voluntary tree planting activity point located on the north bank of Lianjiang River. The seedlings were planted along Lianjiang River, which stretched for 4 kilometers. A beautiful picture of "the city is in the forest, the road is in the green, the house is in the garden, and the people are in the scenery" is slowly unfolding.

　　In Shantou, tree planting activities were carried out in the Jufeng Scenic Area of Haojiang District. Cadres, soldiers and volunteers planted Peach, Silver Leaf Acacia, Yellow Flower Wind Suzuki, Bodhi, etc., mostly for viewing flowers and leaves, adding to the creation of a green and beautiful home with scenery in all seasons. After more than 10 years of sewing and inserting green, planting green and replenishing green, the scenic spot has become a good place for citizens and tourists to watch flowers.

　　In the Maoming Open-pit Mine Ecological Park, hundreds of green planters waved their hoes and shovels and planted saplings one by one. Open-pit mines used to be the "scars" of the city in the past, but now they have become an important part of the urban landscape, which shows that green planting has become an "example" action of Maoming. This year, Maoming will also focus on guiding the intensive processing of agarwood, orange, oil tea and other characteristic industries, extending the industrial chain of forest products, and at the same time creating a characteristic route of forest tourism, promoting the construction of forest towns and villages, actively cultivating a new business model of "rural tourism + ecology", exploring the development of forestry carbon sink trading, and enhancing the efficiency of Maoming forest "carbon sink discharge".

　　CCTV News(Reporter, Liu Chunyan) The emergence of the online car-hailing model has solved people’s travel needs, but it also faces many problems. With the promulgation of the new policy on online car-hailing, a large number of non-compliant online cars have been forced to be removed from the shelves, and the problem of taxi-hailing difficulties has re-emerged in front of the public.

　　What is the current situation of online car-hailing, and how to go in the future? CCTV reporters interviewed and investigated this.

　　Passenger: Can’t wait for a car in twenty minutes

　　On April 1, Didi Chuxing officially stopped sending orders to non-Beijing-licensed vehicles, significantly reducing the number of vehicles outside Beijing, and citizens’ travel pressure began to face tests.

　　At nine in the morning, Ms. Li stood on the side of Shijingshan Road and tried to send the order four times. After more than half an hour, she finally waited for an express driver to pick up the order. From an anxious look to a "calm sigh of relief", Ms. Li looked rather helpless. "I went out an hour early, and the order was received, but I was almost late," Ms. Li told reporters. "At the same distance, in the past, once the order was sent out, the driver would often pick up the order within a few seconds, but now it takes more time and waiting."

　　At 3:30 in the afternoon, Zhang Shijie’s family, who planned to go home after enjoying the flowers from Yuyuantan Park, also encountered the problem of getting a taxi. "The order was sent out, and the system showed that hundreds of cars had been notified, but they didn’t take the order." After waiting for 20 minutes, Zhang Shijie’s family started to call a taxi while walking, and tried their luck on Yuyuantan South Road. "It’s good to be able to get a taxi now. Some time ago, as long as you use the taxi software, it will show that you have increased the price to call a taxi, and the same is true during non-congested hours. The price is much more expensive. I can’t wait to ride a bicycle." Zhang Shijie talked about his recent taxi experience with some displeasure.

　　Didi accounts for more than 90% of the online car-hailing market share. After the implementation of the new policy on online car-hailing, due to the small number of online car-hailing cars that fully comply with the "Beijing Renjing Brand", the number of online car-hailing cars will also be greatly reduced after the "Shuangfei" vehicles exit the market. The direct result is that in some areas and some time periods, citizens are once again facing difficulties such as difficulty in hailing a car, expensive taxis, and long waiting times.

　　Express driver: After the implementation of the New Deal, one day is one day

　　Today, compared with the helpless waiting of passengers, many express drivers are also facing some embarrassment. The express driver, Master Guo, told reporters, "Now the distance to receive orders is long, and sometimes the system sends an order three or four kilometers away from the passenger."

　　In 2015, online car-hailing was in the limelight, and Master Guo aimed at the huge market potential of this industry and registered his Beijing brand car as Didi Express. When business was good, he was busy receiving orders until late at night every day, plus platform subsidies, etc., and he could earn a high bonus a month, and his life improved a lot. The huge market demand also attracted many foreign vehicles to flood into Beijing, but Master Guo did not care: "Although there are many online car-hailing, there are also many people who take taxis, so it will not be affected at all."

　　Previously, in all Didi Chuxing’s businesses, most of the orders came from the express business. High rewards and lower entry barriers for vehicles and drivers have made the cheap express business a gathering place for non-Beijing brand vehicles. However, with the introduction of policies to tighten and regulate online car-hailing, since October last year, the number of foreign vehicles on the road has gradually decreased, and many friends with foreign license plates around Master Guo have left the platform one after another and switched to other industries. Although Master Guo’s car belongs to the Beijing brand, he does not belong to the Beijing household. According to the New Deal regulations, soon, Master Guo’s car will no longer be able to take orders and run. When talking about future life, Master Guo confessed that one day is one day if he can work, and he will change to other jobs in the future.

　　Taxi driver: There are more passengers beckoning on the road.

　　Master Liu has been a taxi driver for 8 years, using old-fashioned Nokia mobile phones, unregistered online car-hailing platforms, and collecting cash for picking up and dropping off passengers.

　　Mr. Liu said that the appearance of online taxi-hailing has had a great impact on the taxi industry. "After 8 o’clock in the evening, the taxi is basically dead." He told reporters that there are three types of taxi-hailing people during the day: long-term taxis, outsiders who come to see the sick, and those who go on business. At night, these groups do not appear, and other people are more affluent and generally do not take taxis. "You see that the people standing there are all holding mobile phones, basically don’t think about it."

　　Mr. Liu said that although online car-hailing has made it easier for people to travel, the problems that come with it cannot be ignored. "With a Henan accent and a car with a Shandong license plate, you can’t be reasonable when you encounter something."

　　According to the relevant departments, only to deal with such incidents, the 18 districts and counties in the Beijing area have to hold an average of three court sessions a day.

　　Didi Chuxing: Focusing on technological innovation in the future

　　It is understood that Beijing Didi drivers a total of 1.10 million people, the number of active drivers 200,000 people, and only 10.7% of drivers in line with the regulations, most of the drivers will be eliminated. In the future, the network about the car platform where to go?

　　A staff member of Didi Chuxing said that at present, they are constantly calling on passengers to plan travel plans in advance through technological innovation and other means, and use booking, carpooling and hitchhiking to travel. With the gradual launch of the "certified driver program" of the special car, the special car service has been greatly improved. In the high-end online car-hailing market, Didi’s special car is still in a leading position and continues to widen the gap with competitors.

　　"We are also actively expanding our internationalization strategy, setting up a research institute in Silicon Valley in the United States, using rich travel data to change the relationship between people and cars, leading the application of new energy vehicles and new intelligent driving safety technologies, and applying big data capability systems to the optimization of transportation infrastructure."

　　The online car-hailing platform is an emerging business format developed under the background of the sharing economy. In the past, the online car-hailing platform operated at a price below cost, and there was a period of brutal growth in which subsidies were used to delineate the market. Some experts said that the online car-hailing platform is bound to return to a standardized, orderly, reasonable and legal development state. The competition among various platforms is no longer about subsidies and advertisements, but about services and management.

"Gold nine silver ten" is the peak season of the traditional car market. According to the data released by the Passenger Federation, the sales of new energy passenger vehicles in September increased by 23.0% year-on-year. The AITO Wenjie new M7, which has been listed for only a month, is undoubtedly the new favorite of the market. According to the official, Dading has broken through 60,000 units. While sales are hot, it also puts forward higher requirements for delivery. It is reported that in order to fully ensure the high-quality and fast delivery of the AITO Wenjie new M7, Sailis Automobile’s joint supply chain has invested 1 billion yuan and added more than 20,000 manpower.

Whether the supply chain can be effectively pulled and managed is the key to ensuring large-scale delivery and high-quality product delivery. Especially in the new energy automobile industry, a stable and efficient supply chain system is the guarantee of the quality, quantity and delivery efficiency of auto parts. This is reflected in some previous new power car companies. Due to the lack of deep cooperation foundation and experience, there may be unstable and uncontrollable risk factors in the supply chain in the face of extreme situations. For example, during the epidemic, there were even situations where the supply chain was tight and "dared not" to take orders, which limited the sales growth of car companies.

As one of the leading enterprises in the whole vehicle chain, Sailis Automobile has 20 years of vehicle manufacturing accumulation and excellent supply chain management capabilities, and uses the high-quality supply chain system as the foundation for the whole vehicle strength. Not only does it cooperate with Huawei’s cross-border business to build a smart car industry chain in depth, but also reaches strategic cooperation with many leading enterprises such as Ningde Times, Topu, Wencan, etc. Among them, Li’er, Huguang, Topu, etc. have settled in the local area to help the local industry strengthen and supplement the chain. Through forward-looking judgment of the industry and cooperation with many supply chain enterprises in advance, Sailis Automobile gathers the leading technologies of leading supply chain enterprises, and at the same time reduces the cost from procurement, production to after-sales services, promotes production efficiency and quality control, and builds a solid foundation for efficient and high-quality delivery.

Since the beginning of this year, the AITO Q & A series has been launched and delivered the M5 smart driving version and the new M7 series, which have been widely recognized by the market. In December, the flagship model AITO Q & A M9 will also be launched soon. Under the support of a complete supply chain system, Sailis Automobile promotes the strategy of large single products, and will seize a place in the fierce competition of new energy vehicles.

It is worth noting that the stock price of 601127.SH has continued to rise recently, and the market value has jumped by 100 billion yuan again. Cinda Securities’ latest research report said that it is optimistic about the rising profit space of Sailis, and pointed out that with the launch of AITO’s new M7 and M9, the company’s new energy vehicle sales are expected to achieve a significant increase.

　　China News Service, Shanghai, July 23rd (Wang Gupi) The fourth Bilibili Macro Link two-dimensional concert hosted by Bilibili bullet comment network, China’s largest young people’s trend culture and entertainment community, was held in Shanghai on the evening of the 23rd. Under the high temperature of 40 ° C that day, 10,000-person two-dimensional fans from all over the country showed undiminished enthusiasm and shared this annual "two-dimensional event" in China.

　　Bilibili Macro Link (hereinafter referred to as "BML") is an annual large-scale offline party brand created by Bilibili bullet comment network (hereinafter referred to as "bilibili"), a cultural gathering place of China’s two dimensions (generally referring to Animation, Comic, Game, Virtual Idol, etc.) and the largest young people’s trend culture and entertainment community in China. In recent years, it has formed an increasing influence across the country.

　　According to Chai Xujun, general manager of the cultural division of bilibili, BML’s name comes from a programmer’s "brain hole". "Macro refers to the macro command in the computer. We think this activity should be able to connect a very’grand ‘group of two-dimensional audiences, so there is such a name." And from the first 800-person small performance to this year’s 10,000-person scale, BML’s "macro" wish has been gradually realized.

　　At the concert that night, in addition to the popular "UP masters" from the bilibili music district, dance district and other major sectors, the organizers also invited well-known foreign stars such as Miyazuki, who had sung interludes for "Digital Baby", to help perform and interact with Chinese fans.

　　It is worth mentioning that the world’s first Chinese virtual singer Luo Tianyi and the well-known Japanese virtual idol Miss Black and White also took the stage that night with the latest holographic technology.

　　"We want to give all two-dimensional fans a carnival experience. It’s a concert, and it’s a two-dimensional music festival," Chai Xujun said.

　　According to the organizers, a total of 12,000 tickets for this year’s BML were sold out in less than two hours. Among them, the most expensive 1280 yuan (RMB) infield tickets were "sold out" in 4 minutes. The main force of ticket purchases this year is the "post-95s" who do not seem to have high spending power.

　　"I have been registering for bilibili for many years. I am very curious about what my friends who like the two-dimensional world are like, and I also want to see the behind-the-scenes look of bilibili who has been with me for so long. It’s like wanting to meet an old friend, so when I see BML, I immediately grab the ticket." "After 95" freshman "Yin Lin" said.

　　Chen Rui, chairperson of Bilibili, told reporters that in today’s growing spiritual demand, new forms of cultural consumption are also emerging, young people are more willing to accept new things, and the need for cultural consumption structure to develop in a diverse direction is becoming increasingly obvious. "For example, when we started BML, we just wanted to give everyone an opportunity for offline communication, but we didn’t expect to end up with the current 10,000-person scale."

　　During the "meal" period of a restaurant, takeaways waiting for "departure" are filled with the desk Photographer/Intern, Huang Jiating

　　The scale of the Internet catering market has doubled, and the problem of disposable tableware pollution is also very serious. It is reported that Meituan and Ele.me, two major takeaway platforms in China, have launched "Qingshan Plan" and "Blue Planet Plan" environmental protection plans respectively. However, some people believe that in dealing with the problem of takeaway waste, the takeaway platform can play a limited role. In addition, catering companies, disposable tableware manufacturers, and consumers should share the corresponding responsibilities to improve the environmental protection problems caused by takeaway lunch boxes.

　　Big data shows that 3 out of every 10 Chinese people are takeout users, generating more than 20 million takeaways every day. In the next ten years, the socialization, intensification and industrialization of kitchens will see tremendous development, and the problem of disposable tableware pollution will also come.

　　survey

　　How much takeaway waste can be generated every day?

　　At around 11:30 noon, the deliveryman Xiao Liu hurried into a commercial building at Wudaokou. He didn’t have time to wait for the elevator, so he chose to climb the stairs to pick up the food at the gourmet food stall on the third floor. At this time, in the stairwell leading to the food stall, there were already many delivery guys running up and down like meteors, and the atmosphere was quite tense.

　　The peak delivery period is called "rice mouth" by the delivery brothers. In the delivery hotspot – a university campus, during the "rice mouth" period, the delivery frequency of a delivery brother can reach 4 to 5 times, and the order volume for one delivery is about 4 to 5 copies. In terms of takeaway restaurants, according to the observation of the Beijing Youth Daily reporter, taking the rice noodle takeaway as an example, the order volume during the "rice mouth" period is 16 to 25 copies. The standard package includes a pair of chopsticks, a plastic spoon, a plastic round bowl, a plastic round bowl lid, and a plastic bag. If the user’s order requires soy sauce, vinegar, or chili peppers, another 3 to 5 plastic bags will be generated. According to the statistics of standard orders, a "rice noodle takeaway" will generate 16 to 25 meals of lunch box waste.

　　In this food stall, there are a total of 14 merchants, each with an order volume of about 20 to 50 copies. Taking each standard lunch box as an example, the food stall produces 840 to 2,100 fast food lunch boxes in one "meal".

　　In contrast, the number of takeout orders from large chain restaurants is even more impressive. According to the owner of a restaurant chain specializing in northwestern flavors: "We have about 4.40 million takeout orders a year. According to the average order of four lunch boxes, we should use 17 million lunch boxes a year." The owner admitted that for restaurants, the most concerned is how to ensure that takeout is delivered to customers within 25 minutes to an hour, and that the color, aroma, taste and shape of the dish are basically unchanged when it comes out of the pot. "We have also tried paper lunch boxes," he said. "But Chinese food and beverage forms are particularly rich and complex, and the cartons with soup and water do not penetrate for more than a few minutes. It cannot be achieved in an hour."

　　Data from Xinhua News Agency: Our country has more than 20 million takeaways every day. But the amount of waste generated is also worrying. The used lunch boxes are stacked up enough to go three and a half times from the earth to the International Space Station, and the plastic bags can cover 168 football fields.

　　current situation

　　The rapid development of takeout brings garbage problems

　　According to the "China Plastic Products Industry Production and Marketing Demand and Investment Forecast Analysis Report", the cumulative output of plastic products in our country 30.47 million tons in January-May 2017, with a cumulative increase of 3.8%. The growth of plastic products is inseparable from the rise and development of emerging industries such as takeaway. At the "Takeaway Food Packaging Safety and Environmental Protection Seminar" held recently, Zhou Lili, a senior engineer in the comprehensive business department of the China Plastics Processing Industry Association, introduced that plastic products account for a large proportion of disposable tableware. China’s current total amount of disposable tableware plastics belongs to a large consumer group in the world. But in fact, if the per capita is calculated, we are not the largest consumer, but the United States should be the largest consumer.

　　Just how big the Chinese takeout market is can be seen by looking at the data released by the two major takeout platforms.

　　Meituan comments on big data show that the national takeaway industry has developed rapidly in 2016: in 2016, the overall transaction volume of the takeaway industry reached 130 billion, it is expected to break through 200 billion in 2017, and it will climb to 300 billion scale in 2018. From the user perspective, 3 out of every 10 Chinese people are takeaway users. Ele.me expects the takeaway market to break through 700 billion in 2020.

　　According to the analysis, the top reasons why Chinese users choose online takeaway are busy with work and no time to cook, unwilling to cook at home, preferential activities for takeaway, delicious meals for takeaway, bad weather, and lifestyle habits. Among them, the fast pace of work and time constraints are the main reasons for users to order takeaway. 42.7% of users choose takeaway to solve work meals, and 21.8% of users are unwilling to cook at home.

　　measure

　　The "no utensils required" option doesn’t work well

　　Takeaway food delivery companies are very concerned about the problem of tableware waste. Recently, Meituan Dianping and Ele.me have started to trial the "no tableware" service, which is to add the "no tableware" option on the APP order page, where the tableware refers to disposable chopsticks. It is understood that Meituan Takeaway launched the "Qingshan Plan" this year, establishing the post of chief environmental protection officer to encourage customer engagement in "bring your own tableware" activities and reduce the use of disposable tableware such as chopsticks and napkins. At the same time, for catering companies that promise to use "environmentally friendly lunch box packaging", light up the environmental protection logo and add screening items. Consumers can screen with one click and invite consumers and professional organizations to supervise catering companies that promise to use "environmentally friendly lunch box packaging".

　　This year, Ele.me launched the "Blue Planet" program, adding a "no tableware" note option on the order confirmation page of the new version of the APP, and providing points rewards for users who choose "no tableware". The Ele.me points mall will open an environmental protection area for users to use points to claim desert public welfare forests and redeem environmentally friendly shopping bags. At present, Ele.me has reached preliminary cooperation intentions with well-known environmental protection organizations such as the Alxa SEE Foundation.

　　But it is understood that the trial effect is not very satisfactory. Some merchants would rather spend time and effort on diners’ taste preferences for fear of making mistakes, such as less sugar, less oil, no cilantro, etc., but when it comes to the question of whether to put chopsticks, they are "rather trusting them than not trusting them". "What if the customer gives me a bad review? I have to send someone to deliver it again, and the labor cost has risen again."

　　Some analysts believe that in dealing with the problem of takeaway waste, the takeaway platform can play a limited role. Only catering companies that provide takeaway services, manufacturers of disposable tableware, and consumers can assume corresponding responsibilities, and all parties can work together to improve the current environmental protection problems caused by takeaway lunch boxes.

　　expert opinion

　　Waste tableware should be recycled

　　Zhou Lili, a senior engineer in the comprehensive business department of the China Plastics Processing Industry Association, pointed out that plastic products are a relatively contradictory product, which facilitates our lives, but also brings environmental protection problems. Zhou Lili suggested that the relevant departments formulate a rule on how to recycle these discarded catering utensils, how to regenerate them, and how to manage them well. "We also recommend centralized inspections in some key regions and setting up some recycling points. Of course, this cost should be based on the production enterprises, distributors, and the model of white polystyrene lunch boxes. This is a contribution to environmental protection. In addition, we still recommend using degradable materials as much as possible in the future when conditions are available."

　　Meng Suhe, chairperson of the Chinese Society of Food Science and Technology, said that in terms of the safety and environmental protection of takeaway lunch boxes, catering platforms should actively formulate entry thresholds, guide catering enterprises to choose qualified, safe and environmentally friendly lunch box products, and eliminate catering enterprises that do not pay attention to environmental protection and safety. For lunch box manufacturers, Meng Suhe believes that due to the characteristics of Chinese cooking and consumption, it is necessary to actively produce lunch box products suitable for Chinese takeaway use, and ensure their environmental protection attributes and product quality.

　　Shang Guiqin, director of the National Key Laboratory of Food Contact Materials (Changzhou), believes that food delivery companies can formulate industry standards for the fast food industry, unify the requirements of lunch box standards, select manufacturers and suppliers that can meet the standards, and make environmental protection choices from the perspective of social responsibility.

　　Financial Observation

　　Just by "advertising"

　　It is difficult to solve the problem in the short term

　　The pollution problem of fast food boxes has recently become a hot topic of public opinion. Experts say that the amount of plastic used in the United States far exceeds that of our country, but the public opinion in the United States is not hot about pollution. From a certain perspective, our citizens’ concern for environmental protection has made the fastest progress in the world.

　　It is commendable that the two food delivery companies have taken the lead in environmental protection measures and found ways to remind users to appropriately reduce the use of disposable dining products. These efforts have not only reduced the pollution of disposable tableware in our country, but also made the corporate culture and corporate image of two responsible large enterprises.

　　In the next ten years, the socialization, intensification, and industrialization of kitchens will see tremendous development, and the problem of disposable tableware pollution will also develop rapidly. There is no time to wait. If we only rely on the publicity of these enterprises, we will definitely not be able to solve such a huge social problem in the short term.

　　According to Ele.me, although the "no tableware" option is designed on the APP, and some people do check this option often, many merchants still provide tableware for each takeaway. The reason is that it is very troublesome to selectively remove some tableware from the order, and the second is that if there is a mistake, the customer’s request for supplementary tableware will increase the cost. Also, in case the customer reneges, he dares not not to send supplementary tableware. So this environmental protection measure worth boasting has become a decoration.

　　Therefore, to solve the problem of white waste, we must first rely on the consciousness of the people. How to quickly improve the awareness of the people’s environmental protection is the key to the problem. In fact, without the promotion of these companies, everyone who has the habit of ordering takeout frequently will definitely be able to express a lot of profound insights on environmental protection issues. But whether they are willing to do it by themselves, and whether they are willing to exchange their own little trouble for a greater improvement in the living environment of the whole country’s citizens is another question.

1905 movie network news On December 26, the "Adventure Departure, Stubbornness to the End" roadshow came to Zhengzhou, and walked into the two campuses of North China University of Water Resources and Hydropower and Zheng Dashengda School of Economics and Trade Management to have a close exchange with thousands of students. It is reported that on the day of the event, many students queued outside the door early, ready to see the main creator’s style. The whole event was full of enthusiasm and extraordinary atmosphere. Wu Mengda, Zhao Jinmai, and Mike Sui, the stars of "Wandering Earth", appeared on stage, setting off the climax of the entire event. The main creators revealed the story behind the shooting of the film on the spot, and also participated in the interaction of the topic of "me and my stubbornness" and shared their own short stories about stubbornness. The movie "Wandering Earth" will meet with audiences across the country on

　

The roadshow scene was full of surprises, and the main creator arrived to review the shooting process

After the start of the event, two trailers and two features of "The Wandering Earth" were screened for the students at the scene first. At the same time, a positive clip of "The Wandering Earth" that has never been exposed was also shown up the ante. Although the clip is still in the confidential stage, judging from the exclamations of the students at the scene, this clip is "not simple"! As the pictures were broadcast one by one, the scene broke out into warm applause, and many students said they couldn’t wait to watch the positive film!

After the screening, "The Wandering Earth" stars Wu Mengda, Zhao Jinmai, and Mike Sui officially took the stage. Mike Sui said hello in pure Henan dialect and immediately got closer to the audience. Facing thousands of students, the three expressed their pride in being a part of Chinese science fiction films. Mike Sui first said: "The original work of" The Wandering Earth "is very magnificent, and the director Guo Fan is about to take the first step in Chinese hard science fiction. I am honored to be able to participate in it." And shouted: "My little heart can’t take it anymore."

Zhao Jinmai, a young actor born after 2000, used five "truths" at the scene to express his luck to join the crew of "Wandering Earth", and thanked the seniors for their care during the filming. Through this shooting experience, he learned a lot of secret techniques. "Every actor in" Wandering Earth "worked very hard. Zhao Jinmai’s costume is nearly 40 kilograms, and the descendants are three centimeters shorter when he wears it." Mike Sui quipped, which shows that every participant in front of and behind the screen of "Wandering Earth" worked hard.

Wu Mengda led the fan girl to scream, stubborn experience won applause, and thousands of people shouted adventure

The main creator of the scene also participated in the interaction on the topic of "me and my stubbornness". Zhao Jinmai said frankly: "My stubbornness is to constantly change myself. I used to be known for playing the little devil fairy of Bala La, but I don’t want to be limited to children’s characters." At the request of the audience, Zhao Jinmai performed the transformation of the little devil fairy of Bala La on the spot, and said generously: "Thank you for liking the little devil fairy, but I also hope that everyone can see my growth!"

And "National Grandpa" Wu Mengda’s answer touched the audience very much. He said: "My stubbornness is that I am 65 years old this year, and I have been shooting comedy for more than 40 years, but starting from’The Wandering Earth ‘to challenge new genres, but also to challenge new selves." During the filming of the film, Wu Mengda went into a swagger, and he had to take oxygen after each scene, but for the sake of Chinese science fiction, he and the young actors were stubborn to the end!

During the interactive session, Wu Mengda’s fan girl screamed and confessed. She said excitedly: "Teacher Wu Mengda is my favorite actor", and she also asked Wu Mengda why she starred in "Wandering Earth". Wu Mengda believes: "At first, I was a little mentally resistant when I received the invitation from Director Guo Fan, and I also had a skeptical attitude towards Chinese science fiction. But when I really put myself into the work, I saw the more than 500 young staff members of the crew face the work with enthusiasm every day, which really infected me. So it is my duty to throw myself into this filming full of novelty and adventure."

After the students shared their stubborn experiences with enthusiasm, the Zhengzhou Station of the film’s high school roadshow ended perfectly as thousands of students shouted "Wandering Earth, the first day of the new year, adventure departure". Next, the "Wandering Earth" crew will also go to Nanjing, Harbin, Xiamen and other cities.

　

The film is based on Liu Cixin’s science fiction novel of the same name and directed by Guo Fan. Wu Jing starred in the film, with Qu Chuxiao, Li Guangjie, Wu Mengda, and Zhao Jinmai starring. Mike Sui, Qu Jingjing, Zhang Yichi, Yang Haoyu, Li Hongchen, Yang Yi, Jiang Zhigang, and Zhang Huan starred. It tells the story of the sun’s imminent destruction and humanity’s impending journey to launch the "Wandering Earth" plan. The film will be officially released on February 5, 2019. On the first day of the new year, take a risk!

Cctv newsIt is obviously a red light, so it is a big difficulty for traffic management in China to break through it. Many people seem to suddenly become color blind as soon as they get to the traffic lights.

Everyone knows that it is illegal to run a red light, but almost everyone has run a red light. Why? Just because the illegal cost is low, few people are in charge, and even if it is broken, it is difficult to be found in time.

Capture the scene of running a red light.

However, with the development of face recognition technology, this management difficulty may be broken. Recently, some cities in Shandong and Jiangsu began to use face recognition systems at traffic intersections to capture pedestrians and non-motor vehicles running red lights and expose them on the spot. So far, the effect is not bad.

There is an electronic display screen at many intersections in Suqian, which is called the face recognition system for pedestrians running red lights. Once a pedestrian runs a red light, his image information and some personal information will be presented on the display screen in time, and the time difference between them is only about 10 seconds.

It takes only 10 seconds from running a red light to video exposure!

Just 10 seconds! This means that pedestrians just ran a red light and came across the road. As a result, they looked up and saw their own scene of running a red light.

Identifiable identity information

In addition to live playback, the traffic control department will also connect household registration information for exposure. At the intersection of century avenue and Hongzehu Road in downtown Suqian, the live pictures of citizens running red lights at this intersection in recent days are being scrolled on the big screen.

Xia Jianshe, deputy detachment leader of the traffic police detachment of Suqian Public Security Bureau: Everyone can see the display on the big screen. Some people will take the initiative to call our traffic control department after running a red light, and are willing to accept the punishment to ensure that they will not run a red light again. Let’s remove his photo. In the second way, we will take the initiative to contact him by comparing his contact information.

Xia Jianshe, deputy detachment leader of traffic police detachment of Suqian Public Security Bureau

The accuracy of face recognition at 10 intersections is over 90%

For pedestrians and non-motor vehicles who run red lights, the traffic control department will impose fines on 20 yuan and 50 yuan respectively. At present, Suqian has installed face recognition systems at 10 intersections, exposing 580 pedestrians and non-motor vehicles running red lights, and the accuracy of face recognition is over 90%.

SuqianInstall face recognition system at 10 intersections.

Not only capture evidence, but also identify identity information.

In Jinan, Shandong Province, the data in 2016 showed that road safety accidents caused by pedestrians accounted for 16% of all accidents; Road safety accidents caused by non-motor vehicles account for 33.4% of all accidents. Recently, Jinan has also started to use the face recognition system.

Not only capture evidence, but also identify identity information.

When the red light is on, if a pedestrian crosses the stop line, the system will automatically capture 4 photos, keep the video for 15 seconds, and intercept the head of the illegal person. This system can not only capture and collect evidence, but also identify the identity information of illegal personnel. Even at night, it can be clearly imaged.

In addition to a fine for running a red light, you will also be sent to the intersection for duty.

Since the face recognition system was put into use in Jinan in early May, more than 6,200 illegal acts of running a red light have been caught. In addition to fines, people who run red lights will also receive traffic safety education and be sent to intersections for duty.

Running a red light will be sent to the intersection for duty.

After nearly a month of rectification, the compliance rate of pedestrians and non-motor vehicles has been greatly improved. In the future, Jinan will install this system at about 50 major intersections in the city.　

Volvo pulled out of the pole star and its share price soared by 30%.

Volvo Car announced that it will no longer provide funds for Polar Star and plans to reduce its holdings. The reduced shares will be mainly taken over by Geely.

In the past, some analysts believed that Volvo held a large number of polar stars, which dragged down Volvo.

The market reaction confirmed this view, and Volvo’s share price soared just after the announcement.

Volvo pulled out and its share price soared.

Volvo Car (hereinafter referred to as Volvo) announced that it would stop blood transfusion to Polar Star and adjust its shares.

At present, Volvo is evaluating the distribution of shares in Polar Star to its shareholders, and Geely Sweden is the potential main recipient.

Some analysts believe that Geely will replace Volvo’s position as an important shareholder of Polar Star.

For Volvo’s reduction, Geely responded that it supports Volvo to concentrate resources on developing itself.

Geely also stated that it will continue to provide comprehensive business and financial support for Polar Star.

Geely also added that supporting Polar Star will not make Geely reduce its holdings of Volvo. This will be added, because only last month, Geely reduced its holdings of Volvo.

Volvo currently holds 48% of the shares of Polar Star. Some analysts once thought that holding such a high share was a burden for Volvo.

The market proved that this was the case. After Volvo announced its withdrawal from Polar Star, its share price once rose by 30%.

The share price of Polar Star once fell more than 15%, and its market value shrank by nearly 86% compared with the highest value.

The polar star, which just announced layoffs not long ago, is now worse, and the recent situation is in sharp contrast with Volvo.

Volvo is in a good situation, but Polar Star is in a bad situation.

On February 1st, Volvo released its performance report, which showed that its global sales in 2023 was 708,000 vehicles, driving the company’s revenue to increase by 21% year-on-year to 399.3 billion Swedish kronor (equivalent to about RMB 275.9 billion).

Excluding joint ventures and associated companies, the company’s basic operating profit is about 17.694 billion yuan, up 43% year-on-year.

What is even more rare is that the transformation results are also good:

Volvo sold 113,000 pure trams last year, up over 70% year-on-year, and the sales volume of plug-in hybrid vehicles was 152,000, up 10% year-on-year.

Simply calculate, the sales volume of Volvo’s new energy vehicles accounts for over 37.4% of the total sales volume.

Jim Ron, CEO of Volvo Cars, summed it up:

In 2023, Volvo’s revenue and profit reached new highs, which was an important milestone on the company’s transformation road.

In 2017, Polar Star, a joint venture between Volvo and Geely, did not perform well last year.

The annual sales volume was only 54,600 vehicles, and the total loss in the first three quarters was equivalent to RMB 5.27 billion.

Just announced 15% layoffs last week, saying that "the market is full of challenges", and it is necessary to adjust the business scale to cut costs and reduce blood transfusion of Geely and Volvo.

The poor performance of Polar Star is partly due to insufficient attention to the domestic market. The financial report in the first quarter of last year showed that its revenue share in China was only 1.4%.

Polar Star realized the problem, and in order to cater to the preferences of consumers in China, the new polar star 4 was designated as an SUV model.

In view of the local development in China, it was built on the vast platform of the same model SEA, the chassis was tuned by Volvo, and considering the intelligent competitiveness, Meizu’s Flyme Auto was installed on the car core.

It can be seen that Geely assembled the main battle for the battle of Polar Star 4.

In June 2022, the market value of IPO rushed to the pole star of nearly 197.3 billion yuan, which ushered in a dream start, but it was abandoned by "Swedish fellow villagers" less than two years later.

With the withdrawal of Volvo, the problem of polar star is more directly placed in front of Geely case. Geely has gained more direct equity, so it is necessary to try to make Polar Star shine again.
