During the "golden age" of Hong Kong cinema in the mid-1970s and early 1990s, more than a dozen film crews started work at the same time every day in this small city on the southern coast of China. Pretty boys and beautiful women from Hong Kong’s wireless artist training class came together and set up scenes among the various crews. Film and television companies such as Golden Harvest, Shaw’s and New Art City invested heavily in digging up and cultivating newcomers to compete in the entertainment industry. This also contributed to the miracle that Hong Kong films produced more than 200 films a year in the 1980s.

That golden age of Hong Kong cinema gave birth to countless movie superstars. They may be as good-looking as Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, and Tony Leung Chaowei, and their acting skills are first-class, becoming hot A-list actors. Or as daring as Samuel Hung, Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, and Yuan Hua, who sacrificed their lives to complete eye-catching stunts and become action superstars.

However, those who can write, direct, and act, and are unique in artistic expression, can create a personal style, and even find a way to break out of a school of film, I think Xingye is one of the best.

The nonsensical style of "Zhou’s comedy" he pioneered and his special attention to the subject matter of the little people are enough to secure him the top spot in Chinese comedy, and it is no exaggeration to call it "Asian Jim Carrey".

Today, let’s talk about the most outstanding work of Xing Ye in the 21st century so far – "Kung Fu"

First, the self-cultivation of "little people"

The story of "Kung Fu" still follows the tradition of Xing Ye’s "little person narrative", telling the story of the 1940s Shanghai, when A Xing, a street gangster who has been bullied since childhood, tried to get ahead by pretending to be the "Axe Gang" and extorting in the "Pig Cage City". As a result, he attracted the real "Axe Gang" forces.

The unexpected invasion of the gangster forces disturbed the quiet life in the slum, and also disturbed the four peerless kung fu masters who were entrenched here – the inheritors of the Gorang Bagua Band, the Hong Family’s Iron Wire Fist and the Shaolin 12th Road Tan Leg.

The gangsters were naturally no match for the descendants of the divine arts, but the arrogant Axe Gang boss, Brother Kun, was unwilling to stop, so he used the gang’s power to invite peerless experts to try to level the "Pig Cage City" in one fell swoop. Every attack by Brother Kun would stir up more "masters" hidden in the secular world in this unsightly small pool. Until, Brother Kun used his head to sacrifice the ultimate killing king Huoyun Evil God, and his opponent was the little rascal A Xing who caused this disturbance.

Lord Xing wrote, directed and acted himself, focusing the guide tube on the little character A Xing, making him a witness and key participant in the contest between the "evil forces" and the "pig cage city". Every turn in the battle between the two sides was caused by A Xing’s inadvertent speculation.

The first time was when he saw that he was going to be beaten by the residents of the city, so he had to learn the way the Axe Gang used fireworks to call people and threw a cannon fight. As a result, it just blew up the head of the leader of the Axe Gang passing by the wall. Then the villain complained first and blamed the residents of the city, which caused a conflict between the two forces.

The second turning point was that Ah Xing, with an incomparable desire to get ahead, put down all his courtesy and shame to join the Axe Gang. As a result, the first task he received was to rescue the great devil Fire Cloud Evil God from the mental hospital.

Xing clearly knew that his actions were wrong, but he seemed to have been carried away by the desire to become famous. As a result, with the release of the Fire Cloud Evil God, an uncontrolled force of destruction swept through the entire Axe Gang and the city.

The third turning point was when the charterer and the charterer in the base camp of the Axe Gang faced off against the three masters who were entangled with each other, and A Xing chose to use a wooden stick to beat the Fire Cloud Evil God.

This time, the little gangster Ah Xing finally stood on the side of justice. But this also caused the evil god of fire clouds to go berserk directly, breaking Ah Xing’s meridians with a fist, and his life was hanging by a thread. It was precisely because of his walk through the gate of hell that Ah Xing’s potential as a "martial arts genius" was completely exploded.

It can be said that in the first half of the film, Ah Xing has always been a gangster who makes a living by picking locks and speculating. For fame and fortune, he can join gangs, bully civilians, and even rob a girl who buys candy.

But in the end, he was just a small person, without noble virtue or the ferocity of a big traitor, between good and evil. He did not dare to kill, set fire, or rape. After being bitten by a snake, he had to hide in the traffic light box and silently digest the pain.

But it was after a series of setbacks and tribulations that Ah Xing finally realized how precious the opportunity to "be a good person" was, and how despicable it was to be self-deprecating on the old road of a gangster. Therefore, the moment he completed the good and evil decision, the potential hidden in his body also fully exploded.

Eight kung fu stunts, combining Chinese martial arts

Since the movie is called "Kung Fu", the core element of the story is naturally Chinese martial arts. In the "imagined China" in Jin Yong and Gu Long’s martial arts novels, Chinese martial arts can be said to have a long history and many branches. The kung fu of Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Beggar Gang, and Tai Chi schools have their own strengths and weaknesses, and together they have painted the world of pleasure, enmity, swords, light and shadows.

On the one hand, Xing Ye’s "Kung Fu" continues the tradition of Hong Kong martial arts novels, and on the other hand, it inherits the mantle of Hong Kong martial arts films and kung fu films. The eight kung fu that appear in it can be said to be both a reinterpretation of traditional Chinese kung fu and a tribute to Hong Kong classic kung fu films. Let’s take a look at it together:

(1) The Tathagata Palm

The most invincible kung fu in the film "Tathagata’s Palm" is actually a fiction invented by Hong Kong filmmakers. It first appeared in the Hong Kong film "Tathagata’s Palm" in the last century, and was portrayed as the Buddha created for all living beings. There are ten styles.

At the end of the film, Ah Xing used the ninth form of "Ten Thousand Buddha Dynasty". Later, it was continuously interpreted by people, and the Tathagata Divine Palm became a kind of divine power that interacted with the "Heavenly Remnant Foot".

(2) Toad Gong

"Toad Technique" was a must-kill skill of the Fire Cloud Evil God. He once used this skill to put Ah Xing at a disadvantage.

The toad skill comes from Jin Yong’s martial arts novel. It is the original stunt of Western Poison Ouyang Feng, and later passed on to his righteous son Yang Guo.

Its characteristic is that it is like a toad preying on insects, waiting for an opportunity to move, using static braking, and striking after. When the enemy attacks, it pounces suddenly, concentrating all its internal force on one point and bursting out, killing it in one blow.

(3) (4) Shaolin Nanquan North Leg – "Hongquan" and "Tan Leg"

The tailors and laborers who live in seclusion in the Kowloon walled city in the film are the descendants of Hong Quan and Tan Ju respectively. Hong Quan was pioneered by Hong Xiguan, a Cantonese from the Qing Dynasty. When he was a teenager, he studied under the Shaolin sect and integrated the kung fu of the North and South Shaolin with his extremely high understanding. He created a school of "Hong Quan" that combines internal and external cultivation, uses both fists and feet, and combines strength and softness.

The person who plays the tailor in the film is Zhao Zhiling, the apprentice of Huang Feihong, and the iron wire boxing he practices is also one of the five battles of Hongquan.

There are many theories about the origin of "Tan leg", including Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan, Longtan Temple in Shandong, and many other theories. Later, the Jingwu Association of Huo Yuanjia in Tianjin also taught this kind of kung fu. There is a proverb that goes "If you practice boxing without training your legs, you are like a daredevil". The Tan leg style, with sharp movements, changeable moves, and quick attack and defense, can complement the boxing technique well.

(5) Goro gossip stick

The origin of this stick technique is hidden in the name. The so-called "Goro" refers to Yang Goro, who fought against the Khitan people in the Southern Song Dynasty. When he was defeated in the battle with his father at the Golden Beach, he disguised himself as a monk.

Later, he really went to Mount Wutai to cut his hair and become a monk, and changed the Yang family’s marksmanship to a stick technique, creating the "Gorang Bagua Stick". The actor who plays the boss Yang in the film is Dong Zhiping, a Peking Opera martial artist, whose gun and stick skills are first-class.

(6) Tai Chi

This can be said to be the most well-known kung fu in the film. In the film, the charterer plays "Chen’s Tai Chi" originating from Chenjiagou, Henan. With Taoist Tai Chi and Yin and Yang as the mental method, he pays attention to both internal and external cultivation, combining rigidity and softness, and overcoming rigidity with softness.

Although the chartered public can use a set of superb tai chi to play the six-fingered piano demon in the palm of his hand, he is a "rake ear" and has to swallow his anger and bear the humiliation in the face of his wife’s domestic violence.

(7) The Lion’s Roar

The renter’s Lion’s Roar skill, which is comparable to ultrasonic weapons in the film, is one of Shaolin’s seventy-two stunts. When the power is performed, the qi is first sank in the dantian, and then it spreads for thousands of miles, which can be transmitted for miles. Hearing it, the heart is frightened and the back is cold. As Du Fu said in his poem, "When I suddenly hear the roar of a lion in Hedong, I am at a loss when the cane falls on my hand." Presumably, only a strong and domineering renter can control it freely.

(8) Three-hole Qin Demon – Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand

In the film, the two of the three-hole piano demons stroke a guqin together, the sound of the piano turns into the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword, the lights turn off the grass wherever they go, and the killing is invisible. This kung fu can be regarded as the original of Xingye, which is composed of the six-style fingerings of the guzheng and the Shaolin dragon claws.

Of course, Xing Ye was also inspired by the "Fuqin Style" and "Drum Style" in Jin Yong’s novels, which Zhang Wuji once used in the Shaolin Dragon Gripper.

Three or ten years of preparation only to fulfill the "Kung Fu Dream"

In fact, Xing Ye had wanted to put "Kung Fu" on the stage as early as 2005. One of his original intentions when he set up his own color star company to film "Journey to the West" was to use the money he earned to shoot his dream work – "Kung Fu".

However, the nonsensical style of "Journey to the West" exceeded the upper limit of the audience’s understanding at that time, encountering an unprecedented box office waterloo, which directly led to the bankruptcy of the color star company and the plan to shoot "Kung Fu" was stranded indefinitely.

From "Journey to the West" in 2005 to "Kung Fu" in 2004, Xing Ye also filmed another classic work, "The King of Comedy" in 1999. It can be said that these three works, separated by five years from each other, together form the "Iron Triangle" of Zhou’s comedy across the centuries at a very high level.

Looking back now, in fact, the box office failure of "Journey to the West" at that time was not necessarily a bad thing. It was with the precipitation and tempering of the next ten years that Xingye was able to polish the script and works to such an exquisite level.

Moreover, based on the special effects level of the 1990s to shoot kung fu, the final scene of A Xing’s group fighting the Axe Gang and the Tathagata’s palm defeating the Fire Cloud Evil God would definitely be very simple, difficult to achieve the desired effect, and unable to perfectly interpret Xing Ye’s understanding of kung fu.

As we all know, there have been many revelations about the iPhone 16 series long before the release of the iPhone 15 series. In line with the principle of "bold assumptions, careful verification", we will still learn about predictions or revelations about new models to see what new things Apple may do next year.

Recently, Haitong International Securities analyst Jeff Pu revealed some details about the iPhone 16 Pro. He introduced,The device will feature a faster 5G modem, Wi-Fi 7, and a new ultra-wide-angle lens at the rear.

In a note to investors, Jeff Pu based his predictions for the iPhone 16 series on his sources in Apple’s supply chain.

He revealed that the size of the new iPhone will be 0.2 inches larger than the current 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches, that is, the standard version iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro will increase to 6.3 inches, and the larger iPhone 16 Plus and Pro Max models will become 6.9 inches – In contrast, Huawei Mate 60 Pro is 6.82 inches in size.

Coincidentally, Tianfeng International industry analyst Guo Mingxuan and DSCC CEO Ross Young have reported that iPhone 16 series will be larger in size.

And thanks to the larger fuselage size,Apple will be able to carry the same quadruple prism periscope head as the iPhone 15 Pro Max on the relatively small iPhone 16 Pro model, and will finally support 5x optical zoom.

Jeff Pu emphasized that both the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will feature 12 million-pixel quadrilateral prism periscope heads for better zoom.

But in this way, the more widely applicable triple telephoto seems to be gone. If Apple still maintains the 3-lens module, the lack of 3x optical telephoto becomes a loss.

Jeff Pu said in the report that Apple plans to upgrade the super wide-angle lens for the Pro series models, and this lens has not been moved since iPhone 13 Pro.

The ultra-wide-angle lens on the iPhone 16 Pro series will use 48 million pixel sensor, a huge leap over the current 12 million pixels. Better ultra-wide-angle quality can also improve the utilization rate of ultra-wide angle to some extent.

Apple’s A-series chips have changed this year, and the appearance of the A17 Pro has changed the next naming rules. Not surprisingly, the iPhone 16 Pro will be equipped with a new A18 Pro chip, built on the same 3nm process as the A17 Pro. The memory is still estimated to be 8GB.

It is worth noting that iPhone 16 Pro changes in terms of connectivity, whether it is Wi-Fi or 5G, iPhone 16 Pro will be upgraded. Jeff Pu speculates that the new iPhone will be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon X75 modem, which can achieve 5G download speeds of up to 7.5 Gbps.

While the iPhone 15 Pro was the first to introduce support for WiFi 6E, next year’s iPhone Pro will likely feature WiFi 7. The latest Wi-Fi standard has speeds of up to 46 Gbps, four times that of WiFi 6.

But support is support. If you want to enjoy the speed of WiFi 7, you also need the corresponding network speed and router, and WiFi 6 routers are not yet popular… I can only say that in the future, it is no problem to use the mobile phone for two more years.

Jeff Pu also predicted the standard iPhone 16. He said that the iPhone 16 will still use a dual-camera module, and the ultra-wide-angle lens will retain 12 million pixel sensor, but will not support macro function.

iPhone 16 standard model should be the A17 didn’t run, after all, to pull the gap with the A17 Pro. The good news is that the memory is 8GB, but the 5G modem will not be upgraded. In terms of connectivity, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are also finer – they will support WiFi 6E, not WiFi 7.

The above information is an early reference, Apple is expected to launch iPhone 16 series in September next year, the future we will continue to pay attention to Apple and the new iPhone.

Apple launches a new iPhone every year, and we haven’t seen a refreshing update on the iPhone in years – oh, the last one was called "Dynamic Island". Many users and fans of competing products expressed dissatisfaction and ridicule at these small fixes.

Apple does not tweak new iPhone every year, but it does upgrade. In a recent interview with Brut., Apple CEO Tim Cook answered the question "Is it necessary to launch a new iPhone every year?"

"I think it’s a great thing to have a iPhone every year for people who want it," he said. Apple promotes the practice of users trading in old phones for new ones. So if the phone still works, Apple resells it (recycles it).

If it doesn’t work, Apple has a way to disassemble it and recycle the material to make new iPhone. This is also in line with Apple’s environmental values, although the idea of releasing iPhone annually seems to contradict environmental sensitivity.

But Cook believes that Apple is committed to maximizing the value of older iPhone. iPhone 13 Pro series is still the most worth buying iPhone model in the past 5 years, if iPhone 16 Pro series still has no upgrades, then I may still retain that view.

? Movie: "Drunk Fist II"　

? Broadcast time: Sunday, April 7 at 22:22

? Starring:// 　

1905 movie network feature This is a film that was selected as one of the "100 Best Movies in Global History" by Time Magazine in the United States; this is a Hong Kong-specific genre film that experienced the golden age of the 1950s and reemerged in the 1970s – Hong Kong Action Movie; this is a representative work that fully shows the style of Hong Kong’s "Dragon Tiger Martial Artist", it is – "Drunken Fist II". This year is the 30th year of this film’s release, and let us see the pinnacle of this kung fu film on the movie channel.

Jackie Chan, the most down-to-earth lone hero.

This movie history classic with its own BGM is a brilliant show of skills by Jackie Chan and his family. Their full dedication has written a crazy and beautiful chapter in the history of kung fu movies. In the film, Jackie Chan plays Huang Feihong, not only the incomparable "fighting king", but also creates a different image of a down-to-earth and profound "lone hero".

In this film, the family class also fully unleashed their potential. Their unique and creative movement design skillfully blended traditional Chinese martial arts with modern action elements to form a unique style that is still loved and sought after by the majority of audiences.

Star-studded – Andy is a little dragon

Think Jackie Chan is the only coffee in the play? Then you are wrong! The "Drunk 2" crew is here to tell you what is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and what is a luxurious lineup! Huang Feihong’s father Huang Qiying, the "Tiger Dad", is played by Dillon; Huang Feihong’s little mother is played by Anita Mui, who not only assumes the funny role in the play, but also the strong backing behind Feihong; the sideways one-word horse who plays the villain Big Boss shows the sky; the director who plays Wu Ju Fu Minqi is a director who has won the Academy Award Lifetime Achievement Award…

In addition, there are also,,, Weng Hong, and other "big coffee" people who collectively play tricks, which is simply the "star team building" of the entertainment industry!

Jackie Chan-esque desperation — the pinnacle of a kung fu movie.

"Do you think you are Jackie Chan? Do you have nine lives?" Jackie Chan really fought with his life by jumping diagonally from a height of 50 meters to a low-temperature fire to be beaten! Coal chips pressed the top, coal barrels smashed, and rolled around on a fire covered with coal. This "desperate" spirit made the audience love and respect, and also made him unique in the film industry and became an eternal legend.

Jackie Chan told us with practical actions: Only by daring to fight and dare to break through can he become a true king! His spirit not only won the love and respect of the audience, but also set a new benchmark for Chinese action movies.

"Dragon Tiger Martial Master" still exists, and the spirit of kung fu is all over the world

Today, many "dragon and tiger warriors" are still active in every corner of the world’s film industry, guiding Hollywood action movies. From gorgeous action designs to shocking fight scenes, they are full of the unique charm of Chinese warriors, and their spirit also shines in global movies.

Their influence has transcended national borders, becoming an indispensable part of the global film industry, and also influencing the gradual evolution of new styles in global film action genres.

Text/Wang Fangjie

With a swipe of the camera, Xu Jiayin appeared on the CCTV news screen, which was a report on the 2017 BRICS Business Forum. Xu Jiayin, wearing a red tie, sat in the first row behind the dignitaries, directly behind the top government. Obviously, this is not a position that ordinary entrepreneurs can get. In addition to the chairperson of the board of directors of China Evergrande, Xu Jiayin is also a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.

Mr. Xu’s political status has kept him very busy. On his public itinerary, he attended a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference in Beijing before going to Xiamen for the BRICS meeting. Before that, he attended a "symposium on private enterprises studying and implementing the spirit of the National Financial Work Conference" held by the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce. Only, he did not attend the half-year performance report of China Evergrande (03333.HK).

Originally, Xu Jiayin could have received a lot of congratulations at the half-year performance meeting. In addition to China Evergrande’s best performance in history, he himself surpassed Wang Jianlin to become the richest man in China’s real estate in July this year. As China Evergrande’s share price rises further, according to the latest data from Forbes, Xu Jiayin is the new richest man in China at a price of 39.10 billion US dollars, slightly higher than the second-place Pony Ma and the third-place Jack Ma.

It’s not that Xu Jiayin has never been the richest man. As early as 2009, the day China Evergrande went public, his net worth reached the top of China. But year after year, Evergrande has been playing the "game" of high debt and high leverage, with capital markets ranging from novelty to boredom to worry, and institutions like Citron shorting. According to the calculation of Xia Haijun, the president of China Evergrande, China Evergrande’s current price-to-earnings ratio is only 4-5 times, about half that of mainland real estate companies. "Evergrande’s stock is still far from reaching the right position," Xia Haijun said.

Since the beginning of this year, China Evergrande has started to deleverage significantly, and at the same time vigorously promoted Evergrande Real Estate’s backdoor listing in class A shares. Under the stimulus of multiple positive factors, the capital markets have expressed their support with practical actions. The company opened at HK $5.04 on January 3, 2017 and closed at HK $28.15 at noon on September 15. Xu Jiayin also once again topped the list of China’s richest people.

However, for a mature entrepreneur, the status of the richest person is no longer of great significance, just like the scale of a leading company. Xu Jiayin and Evergrande’s management need to continue to face the problem of how to keep a giant ship within a safe boundary.

A keen sense of smell

In a fashionable phrase, Xu Jiayin lacks freestyle. In the real estate circle, Sun Hongbin wears T-shirts and sneakers, and usually scolds the Three Character Classic when he is in a hurry. He is an "upright BOY"; Wang Jianlin roars at the company’s annual meeting that he has nothing like a "rock old cannon"; although Wang Shi is full of bourgeois delicacy, he will also be angry and become a beauty. Whether the reporter is in close contact or the public can feel the vividness of these characters through the computer screen. But Xu Jiayin is serious and serious. He is like a "veteran cadre" who is surrounded. You look at him, he looks at you, and they are separated by several layers.

But employees at China Evergrande are used to "the boss is such an old-fashioned person." They told reporters that the billionaire had not had access to a smartphone until recent years. The owner of a media advertising agency brought up a story in which Evergrande people approached them years ago to include a single page on Sina Finance’s Hong Kong stock channel, because the boss only used Sina Finance to watch stocks.

Xu Jiayin, a veteran cadre, is different from Wang Shi – "he will not get involved in politics in this life and the next", and different from Wang Jianlin – "close to the government and away from politics". He is very close to politics and well integrated. This of course attracted criticism from short-selling institutions for him. Citron once pointed out that it was very close to the **, but the accusation was ultimately unfounded. The other side of the coin is Xu’s keen grasp of policy. Just a little attention can be found that ** Evergrande’s strategy is almost in sync with the macroeconomic development strategy. The state expands the scale of Evergrande, and the state shrinks the scale of Evergrande.

At this performance meeting, China Evergrande announced a major strategic transformation, from the past scale priority to efficiency priority. To this end, the company adjusted the previous "three highs and one low" development model to "three lows and one high". The so-called "three highs and one low" means high debt, high leverage, high turnover and low cost, while "three lows and one high" means low debt, low leverage, low cost and high turnover. In this regard, Xia Haijun did not shy away: "China Evergrande’s measures are consistent with the country’s policy orientation of reducing debt and deleveraging."

Xu Jiayin was not among the speakers at the "Symposium on Private Enterprises Learning and Implementing the Spirit of the National Financial Work Conference" on August 23. Xu Lejiang, executive vice chairperson of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, who presided over the symposium, named Xu Jiayin to talk about the experience of studying the National Financial Work Conference. Xu Jiayin said that from 2014 to 2016, Evergrande’s income was 130 billion yuan, 200 billion yuan and 370 billion yuan respectively, and this year it is expected to reach 500 billion yuan. Such rapid growth, no matter which enterprise, is basically a "three highs and one low" development model; now after the Central Financial Work Conference, enterprises must change to the "three lows and one high" model. Only in this way can they achieve long-term stable and healthy development of enterprises. Xu Lejiang joked in the exchange that Evergrande’s past development model should actually add a "high risk".

The guidance from the top is very direct, how can Xu Jiayin not hear the strings and know the elegance? In fact, with his keen sense of policy, there is no need for such a direct reminder at all. In the early years, under the background of policy encouragement to go global, many real estate companies adopted aggressive overseas expansion strategies. Now those overseas real estate projects that rely on domestic investors have become a problem for the company’s future, but China Evergrande has not gone abroad. Evergrande made it clear to reporters that Evergrande has no plans to invest overseas. "In the past 21 years, Evergrande has insisted on investing only in China, and has successfully realized the growth of the company in the dividend of China’s rapid economic development. We believe that this dividend is still very large, and Evergrande can continue to make great progress in it."

Of course, in addition to external factors, Evergrande’s slowdown has its own internal logic.

China Evergrande was founded in 1996 as a project that no one else wanted. That year, Vanke’s operating income exceeded 1 billion yuan, and R & F Real Estate’s sales revenue was about 60 million yuan. In the 20 years leading up to 2016, Evergrande has been playing the role of a chaser, from project companies to local companies, then to national companies, and finally became the world’s largest real estate company last year. Xia Haijun believes that to catch up with others, it must scale up. How can a small company overcome the disadvantage of insufficient capital base and achieve leap growth in scale? There is only one way – borrow more money. The money was deposited on the land, and as the value of the land far exceeded the financing cost, Evergrande became the "diamond in the crown".

But Xia Haijun knew that the development model of high debt was unsustainable. After all, the golden age of Chinese real estate had passed, and a large number of small and medium-sized real estate enterprises had disappeared, which showed that the simple and crude way of making money in the past was no longer feasible. The cost of land was getting higher and higher, and if the financing cost continued to rise, enterprises could only work for the government and banks.

China Hengda decided in the next three years, the scale of land reserves negative growth of 5% to 10% per year, to 50 million square meters per year of floor area calculation, about 10 million per year will reduce the land reserves, buy less land debt will decline, profits will be released.

　

This year, China Evergrande handed in the best report card since its listing. Its gross profit and net profit increased by about 200%. Due to the repayment of perpetual bonds, the net profit attributable to the company’s shareholders increased more than 8 times to 18.83 billion yuan. After the results were announced, the research reports of various brokerages concluded that it was "recommended to buy". "Shareholders don’t care how big we are, they only care about how much dividends we pay." Xia Haijun told the truth.

Slow down

Judging from the contract sales in the first half of this year, Evergrande is no longer the country’s leader, although it only took this position last year. In the first six months of this year, Evergrande achieved contract sales of 2440.9 billion yuan, slightly inferior to Country Garden’s 2889.1 billion yuan. "We have been the boss, and it is pointless to focus on this goal after this." Xia Haijun said, but he changed the topic and said: "It is useless to put other people’s rights and interests on your own side." This sentence smells of gunpowder. In the first half of 2017, according to the statistics of equity sales, China Evergrande ranked first in the country’s real estate enterprises, reaching 2291.6 billion yuan, surpassing Country Garden.

"Evergrande will no longer emphasize contract sales first, equity sales first, and profit first." Xia Haijun stressed that in response to this strategic adjustment, Xia said that China Evergrande’s consistent low-cost and high-turnover model will not change. "Real estate is bread, we are chefs, land is flour, and Evergrande took the cheapest flour a few years ago." Xia Haijun is quite proud of this. As China’s largest "landlord", China Evergrande currently has 276 million square meters of land reserves. The original value of this land is only 457.60 billion yuan, and the average floor price is 1,658 yuan/square meter. Of this land, 72.6% is located in first- and second-tier cities, and 27.4% is located in third-tier cities. It is well known that since the beginning of last year, China’s real estate market has started a new round of upward cycle, and the price of Evergrande projects has also risen along with the market. According to Xia’s introduction, the average price of Evergrande projects has risen from 8,800 yuan/square meter last year to more than 10,000 yuan/square meter. "The extra 1,200 yuan/square meter is profit," Xia Haijun said.

Xu Jiayin is also a professor of management at his alma mater, Wuhan University of Science and Technology. Many people think this is a false name. After all, Professor Xu studied metallurgy and has never talked about his management methods in public. But when you look closely at this company, you will find that it does have some unique management experience. For example, due to the long management radius of national real estate enterprises, many companies choose to fully delegate power to regional companies. However, China Evergrande adopts a tight group management model. The group directly controls all aspects of the project, planning and design, material supply, bidding, budget and final accounts, project management, quality management, sales, and property delivery. The role of regional companies is only implementation. Of course, this model is difficult to implement. This year, Evergrande Group needs to control and develop more than 8,000 buildings with more than 20 floors at the same time. But this has given birth to Evergrande’s standardized operation. In Xia Haijun’s opinion, no real estate company can surpass Evergrande in this regard. It has only three product lines, with a 5% share of high-end series – Evergrande Washington, a 70% share of rigid demand product series – Evergrande Oasis, Evergrande Yayuan, etc., and a 25% share of tourist real estate series – Evergrande Jinbi World. These products are distributed in 223 cities across the country, but each real estate with the same name looks almost identical.

Evergrande also has a unique management model, which Xu Jiayin regards as a magic weapon for maintaining long-term high growth – target plan management. "In management, usually target management and plan management are two separate chapters, Evergrande combines the two, and Evergrande’s plans are all targeted," Xu Jiayin said in an internal speech at the beginning of this year.

In Hengda Group, there is a unique department in the real estate industry – the management and supervision center. At first, there were only 10 people in this department, but now there are nearly 1,000 people, and the regional companies also have comprehensive planning departments. The two departments have formed a multi-level project plan management system, which is mainly responsible for maintaining the high-speed turnover of project development. According to Hengda, the company has detailed control over the project plan to every week, ensuring that the opening sales are opened within half a year after the land is acquired. Unless there is a serious force majeure, the opening time is a dead order.

Evergrande is about to change the development model of high leverage and high debt. Before this year, few people could say how much money Evergrande had borrowed because of its high perpetual debt. According to the 2016 annual report, the net profit attributable to the holders of perpetual debt exceeded that attributed to the shareholders of the company. It was not until early July, when Evergrande announced that it had redeemed all perpetual bonds in June, that people learned that the size of this "hidden debt" was 112.90 billion yuan, and its disappearance caused China Evergrande’s full-scale net debt ratio (including perpetual bonds) to be sharply halved.

It is undeniable that China Evergrande is still a highly leveraged company, which may even be considered abnormally high by Xia Haijun himself. Its net debt ratio is 240%. Xia Haijun said that the net debt ratio will be reduced to 140% in one year, 100% in two years, and 70% in three years. After that, China Evergrande will maintain such a "normal company" debt ratio.

The Road Ahead

In fact, Evergrande’s net profit in the first half of the year could have been even higher. The company sold its stake in Vanke to Shenzhen Metro at a very low price, losing 7 billion yuan. Of course, as Xu Jiayin said, "all things are pleasant things to do". As we all know, Evergrande Real Estate Group is advancing the plan of backdoor Shenshenfang, and the group headquarters has also been relocated to Shenzhen. Xia Haijun revealed that the appraisal agency is revaluing Evergrande Real Estate’s land assets, and the price after the revaluation of the assets will determine the valuation of Evergrande Real Estate when it goes public. The relevant work is going very smoothly, and the company will soon welcome the third round of strategic investors. The scale of this round of financing is between 30 billion and 50 billion yuan. After the financing is completed, Hengda Real Estate will formally submit a statement to the Securities Supervision Commission.

Of course, there are many people who want to participate in the business of China’s largest landowner, and Evergrande Real Estate has the active option. Its shareholder list is shining, including CITIC, Zhongrong, CEFC, Shenzhen Industry Group, Shandong Expressway, Shenzhen Guangtian, etc. All are powerful central enterprises, state-owned enterprises, large Financial Institution Groups and strategic partners.

It is worth noting that the backdoor listing of class A shares is Evergrande Real Estate Group, while China Evergrande already owns four major sectors: real estate, finance, tourism and health. In recent years, China Evergrande has been trying to diversify. It has successively "fought" FMCG and finance, but the FMCG business was eventually divested, and the financial business was affected by policy changes. Now, tourism, which is in line with the direction of expanding domestic demand and upgrading consumption, is Evergrande’s key direction.

In 2016, the "Analysis Report on the Development Model and Investment Strategic Planning of China’s Theme Park Industry" released by the Prospective Industry Research Institute pointed out that 70% of domestic theme parks are in a state of loss, 20% are flat, and only 10% are profitable. About 150 billion yuan of funds are tied up in theme park investment. This situation can also be seen in the transaction between Wanda and Sunac. According to the original transaction structure, Wanda plans to sell the Wanda City project according to the registered capital base price, so that the average price of the saleable area of the project is only more than 1,000 yuan/square meter. Such a valuation method inevitably makes people feel that those theme parks that need to be held for a long time are a "big pit".

But Evergrande is also pushing ahead with plans for theme parks, known as Evergrande Children’s World, and suddenly there are 15. In the first quarter, Evergrande Travel Group inspected 28 theme parks around the world and finally selected 33 game projects, which will be 1.5 times the size of Disney.

Evergrande Children’s World will be the only fully indoor theme park in the world, which seems magical. Evergrande may need to build a very large dome, and people will probably fall down the rabbit hole like Alice through the entrance. But these theme parks will consume a huge investment. The investment of Shanghai Disneyland without a roof is 5.50 billion US dollars. China Evergrande has not disclosed the commercial estimates of the theme park project, but Xu Jiayin obviously values Children’s World very much. In January this year, he personally participated in the project planning seminar. Maybe the man with nearly 1.50 trillion assets just wants to create some happiness.

　　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.

According to the data of "Yi Che Zhi" and "October Passenger Car Market Operation Report", in October 2021, the sales volume of BYD Hanxin Energy reached 9,250, a year-on-year increase of 134.3%; From January to October this year, BYD’s cumulative sales volume of Hanxin Energy was 82,087 vehicles. According to the data released by BYD, as of October, Hanxin has achieved positive sales growth for seven consecutive months, and the monthly sales volume has exceeded 10,000 for the sixth time. Therefore, Hanxin has also become a well-deserved star among domestic high-end new energy vehicles.

Zhang Lin, the general manager of Beijing BYD Dynasty flagship store, told Yi Chezhi that BYD Han, as a domestic B-class car, accounts for about 40% of consumers aged 25-35, which is quite rare. He believes that Han models are widely favored by the younger generation, which is the result of the proper combination of product strength and channel sales strategy.

Nowadays, vehicle modeling is a prerequisite for grasping the younger generation of consumers. Former Audi design director Iger has sharpened his sword for five years, integrating China elements with international trends. The birth of BYD Han has created the DNA of a new era of independent vehicles, and its design sense and trendy aesthetics have undoubtedly touched many young consumers. "Most young people are’ Yan Kong’, and the plain shape is tantamount to a horse slipping." Fan Anjing, sales director of Suzhou Ganyuan Xinjing BYD, said, "Young people’s pursuit of beauty is more unique than other age groups, and Han’s overall design is not stereotyped, which is far from the stereotype of domestic independent brand models."

Zhang Lin pointed out that in addition to design, the sense of science and technology is also a major selling point for products to attract young people. BYD, which built its own R&D system in the early years, is a leader in the automotive three-electric system. Soon after the revolutionary R&D achievement-blade battery was launched, BYD Han EV also came out.

Based on excellent quality, BYD Han EV also has the "Three Electricity Lifetime Warranty", which can be described as full of sincerity. Fan Anjing said that when explaining the Han model to potential users, the most basic thing is to fully develop the product’s own value. "The configuration of the car, the after-sales policy and BYD’s technology are the overall value of the vehicle. The value reflects the basis of pricing, and it is concluded that the model has a strong cost performance, which is an important basis for attracting young users to buy entry-level high-end cars."

"Chasing low prices" was once the label of domestic car consumers. With the improvement of national consumption level and industrial manufacturing level, a new generation of young consumers no longer blindly pursue low prices to save money, but they will not rudely pursue the identity brought by high prices. From the sales performance of BYD Han, young consumers tend to be more rational and pay more and more attention to the brand’s "true cost performance".

As a strategic model of BYD’s comparable Tesla Model 3, the Han model also has a fairly stable price system, which is rare among independent models. Zhang Lin revealed that since the listing, Han models have been sold at the manufacturer’s guide price, and dealers have not sold at a premium or at a reduced price. "In the past, consumers who bought domestic brands often encountered price cuts a few months after buying a car, so everyone would tend to wait and see the price and hold the money for purchase. Selling at the guided price like BYD Han is conducive to maintaining the high-end image of the brand and increasing consumers’ trust in the brand. "

Not only that, according to Zhang Lin, the purchase mode of "consignment by order" by Tesla and other brands has greatly reduced the inventory pressure of dealers on Han models and laid the foundation for the stability of the price system of the whole Han model. Especially in 2021, when there is a shortage of automobile chips and the production capacity is tight, the period from "making a decision" to picking up a car becomes longer. This model reduces the wait-and-see bargaining mentality when holding money for purchase, and indirectly makes consumers recognize the price.

The acceleration time of Mercedes-Benz E300 is 6.6 seconds per 100 kilometers, which can directly reflect the dynamic performance of the car.

Among the vehicles with the same displacement, the vehicles equipped with turbocharged engines usually perform better in the acceleration of 100 kilometers, because they have stronger power output and a wide maximum torque output range, so that vehicles can exert their best acceleration ability at low speeds.

As a mid-range model of Mercedes-Benz, E300 has been completely redesigned in appearance and interior.

It is equipped with the interior ambience lights of Mercedes-Benz S-Class models, which makes the lighting combination in the car more luxurious when the lighting system is turned on at night.

In addition, the headlights can automatically adjust the brightness according to the external environment, providing a smarter lighting experience.

speed up apply the brakes oil consumption second rice rise Still very fierce to test the new BYD Tang DM 80 first. Evaluation Editor-Liang Haiwen:

For its acceleration and braking performance, in fact, this level can already be predicted before the test, and the new Tang DM 80 impressed me deeply mainly because it should be said that it has done a good job in driving quality. The quiet and comfortable feeling when driving with pure electricity will make passengers have a good riding experience, and the excellent performance of kinetic energy recovery system is also an important assistant to reduce energy consumption/fuel consumption. On the whole, if you are interested in buying a hybrid model, Tang DM is a model worthy of special consideration.

Evaluation editor-Chen Hai maid:

The hybrid system of Tang DM can be said to be relatively mature, although it has a lot of bright data, such as speeding up the results in less than five seconds. But it is a family car after all, so I am actually more concerned about its pure battery life and daily driving experience. Fortunately, I am not disappointed. More importantly, the new Tang price is quite kind. Even if you don’t want a hybrid model, then the fuel version of less than 130,000 is believed to impress many friends.

Evaluation Editor-Huang Rongjia:

It is not news that Tang DM accelerates quickly. The old model itself is very fast, and the new generation has inherited the aura. What really surprises me is that the new generation of Tang DM is equipped with 22-inch rims and brembo six-piston brake calipers, and the vibration reduction effect is very good. If you consider that this is a medium-sized 7-seat SUV with less than 300,000, it is really exciting. For BYD, for China brand, it’s really disappointing this time, which makes people sit up and take notice.

Early this morning, Wang Hua, general manager of the public relations department of Xiaomi Group, released the ultimate rumor about Xiaomi Automobile on the social media platform. Wang Hua said that in the past two days, rumors have been made three times to clarify the price P chart of Xiaomi Automobile.Today, the rumor is finally dismissed. Until the official Xiaomi automobile product launch conference is over, all the information and posters with Xiaomi automobile version and price are fake..

Wang Hua also said that there can be no price and policy before the official release. Don’t believe the so-called insider rumors, no one knows the real price, or even the official release time, because everything has not yet been determined.

Things to review:

Regarding the price of Xiaomi car, at the Xiaomi car technology conference held on December 28, 2023, Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi Group, explained the performance of the first car SU7 of Xiaomi and said firmly: "So don’t shout 99,000 (referring to the pricing of Xiaomi SU7), it is impossible!" Lei Jun further said: "Anyone who has this kind of performance and configuration will get more than 400,000! Therefore, there is no need to talk about 149,000, but we still have to respect technology! "

On January 2nd, Lei Jun said that Xiaomi SU750 had no rivals within 7.5 million and rushed to Weibo for hot search. On the same day, Lei Jun wrote on the social media platform, "Xiaomi SU7, who is competing with the same file?" . In the comment area of this article in Weibo, some netizens commented, "Without the price, I don’t know who is in the same file. Mr. Lei will give the price quickly and want to buy a car for the New Year."

Subsequently, Lei Jun replied to this comment, "Is there an opponent within 500,000?"

Xiaomi public relations rumors three times in two days.

Recently, some people have made a price poster similar to Xiaomi’s official style, which indicates that the pre-sale price of Xiaomi SU7 rear-drive standard version is 99,000, and the pre-sale price of Xiaomi SU7 four-wheel drive Max version is 599,000.

In this regard, Wang Hua, the head of Xiaomi’s public relations, denied rumors on the social media platform on the 3rd. These pictures were fake at first glance. "Not only is the font wrong, but there is no metric mark, and the screenshot of official website is directly P".

After the rumor was rumored on the 3rd, a poster picture of the scheduled opening of Xiaomi SU7 was circulated on the Internet. This time, the picture was made very realistically, with many details, but unfortunately it was still fake.

Wang Hua, head of Xiaomi’s public relations, said: "Everyone’s expectations have been received, and the rhythm of a daily picture is unnecessary. When it is officially released, everyone can see it at a glance."

Why is Xiaomi car difficult to "price"?

Nowadays, the pricing of Xiaomi SU7 has become a mystery, and it has also earned enough attention.

According to national business daily, according to Pang Rui, a well-known brand expert and founding partner of Zhansheng Communication, this may be a "test water" for Xiaomi Automobile in pricing. "So far, for the pricing of Xiaomi SU7, Xiaomi is more denying the price circulated on the Internet, without giving any positive hints. Perhaps this is also a pricing test strategy, that is, by observing the market’s public opinion feedback on different rumored prices, Xiaomi can constantly correct the price and gradually form the final pricing in the process. " He said, "Xiaomi has denied the three prices of 99,000, 149,000 and 599,000, which also shows that Xiaomi SU7 will not be positioned in the low-end or luxury car market, but is more likely to choose the middle and high-end market."

Whether it is electronic products such as mobile phones or home appliances such as televisions, millet products are often known for their cost performance. When Xiaomi turned to the car track, many people also expected its first car, especially in terms of price, hoping that it could maintain the brand tonality of "high cost performance".

Some netizens speculate from the current automobile market that the minimum starting price of Xiaomi automobile may be between 200,000 yuan and 300,000 yuan. At the same time, it is reported that Xiaomi SU7 Max needs to be sold for more than 330,000 yuan to achieve breakeven.

According to China Net Finance, Liang Zhenpeng, a senior industrial economic observer, said that Xiaomi’s pricing was not announced, which may be a decision made by considering various factors. "On the one hand, it takes a long time for a car to go from PPT to commercial mass production, and then to improve the yield to meet the standards of product quality, process performance and other technical parameters. For Xiaomi, the cost is temporarily difficult to determine, so the price has not been disclosed yet; On the other hand, in the process of R&D and manufacturing, Xiaomi’s automobile products will continue to be iteratively updated, and the cost will continue to change, thus affecting the final pricing. "

How much do you think Xiaomi will sell?
