As a global automobile safety benchmark, Volvo’s story began in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1927.

There, Volvo launched its first mass production model OV4, but it was ignored by the market because of its convertible structure design, which failed to take into account the local situation in Sweden.

It was not until the second model, the hard-top car PV4, was introduced that it was turned over by selling 694 cars in two years.

What put Volvo on the right track was the six-cylinder engine model PV651 launched in 1929. After the acquisition of Pentaverken Engine Company in 1935, Volvo was officially listed on the Swedish Stock Exchange.

Ford Motor Company was acquired in 1999 at a cost of US$ 6.45 billion. Later, due to the financial crisis in 2008, it was deeply mired in operating losses and had to sell its brand assets. Among them, Volvo Car was sold to Geely Automobile at a cost of US$ 1.8 billion in 2010, which was more than 70% lower than the original purchase price of US$ 6.45 billion. Ford is an old enemy in Volvo’s development history.

Geely and Volvo’s Ten Years’ Road

March 28th, 2020 is the 10th anniversary of Geely’s acquisition of Volvo, which is why when people talk about Volvo cars, they will mention Geely’s reasons.

Geely’s acquisition of Volvo in that year was enough to be called a snake swallowing an elephant drama. Li Shufu’s desperate saburo mentality made Volvo survive, especially in the second-tier luxury car camp in China market.

By 2018, the sales volume will reach 130,000 vehicles, the global sales volume will exceed 640,000 vehicles, and the brand value will soar from the original $1.8 billion to $18 billion, with a year-on-year increase of over 100%.

Since Geely acquired Volvo in 2010, thanks to the convenience Geely brought to Volvo in terms of channels and production capacity, the sales of Volvo cars in China and around the world have also increased year after year. Since Geely acquired Volvo, Volvo’s annual sales have risen sharply for six consecutive years.

Achieving profitability is just a starter. The highlight is that in 2019, global sales exceeded 700,000 vehicles, with a cumulative sales of 705,400 vehicles. Breaking the highest sales record since 1993, it can be said that Geely is a great benefactor on the road of Volvo’s revival.

Relying on the advantage of Geely’s localization in China, Volvo and Geely also jointly launched a new brand, Lexus, to enter the domestic high-end market. In 2018, the brand sold more than 120,000 vehicles, which almost tied Volvo’s annual sales, and made Great Wall WEY a loser, and established a reputation in the high-end market of domestic cars.

In the past ten years, the sales volume of Volvo cars has increased from 334,800 to 662,000 in 2020, and the China market has become the largest single market for Volvo.

Cars equipped with internal combustion engines have no future.

"Cars equipped with internal combustion engines have no future."

Volvo is full of longing for the future of electric vehicles, and even plans to completely eliminate all internal combustion engine automobile products including hybrid vehicles in 2030. This means that after 10 years, Volvo will bid farewell to fuel vehicles and become a pure electric brand completely.

However, with the current situation of Volvo’s electrification development, it is still far from such a radical plan.

The debut of Volvo’s first pure electric vehicle is long overdue, and the sales volume of electric vehicle brand Polar Star, which was born out of Volvo’s high-performance department specializing in electrification, is also a long story.

Farewell to the fuel truck completely after 10 years, which is quite a bit "desperate". But beyond that, Volvo seems to have no choice.

Volvo wants to rely on two wings when transforming to electrification, one is to rely on Polaris, and the other is to rely on its own hybrid car.

However, nowadays, the development of Polaris is far from optimistic, and hybrid cars are not up to expectations.

In 2017, Volvo’s department specializing in electrification and high performance was separated from Volvo and named Polar Star, officially becoming a brand new and independent electric vehicle brand.

The original intention of separating Polar Star is that Volvo hopes to change its traditional car image by the east wind of new energy, build a new brand with brand-new labels, develop in the direction of high-performance electric vehicles, and compete with Tesla.

Unfortunately, Volvo, which tried to fly with two wings, failed to fly.

Polar Star did not fulfill the dream of Volvo’s high-performance electric vehicle brand as expected. In 2020, the cumulative insurance amount of Polar Star was only 365 vehicles.

In terms of products, the brand positioning of Polar Star and Volvo is one of the major reasons for the poor sales performance of Polar Star.

Polar Star 1 can see the shadow of Volvo S90. The almost identical interior, central control panel and Raytheon’s hammer headlights make people feel that they bought a Volvo for 1.45 million yuan. The design of Polar Star 2 and Volvo 40.2 concept car cannot be said to be very similar, but can only be said to be exactly the same.

The core selling point of Polar Star, which goes out independently, is still the characteristics of environmental protection and performance, which is very similar to Volvo. As long as Volvo introduces pure electric vehicles, it will definitely collide with its own hatched polar star, and its own electric vehicle business coincides with its electric vehicle business, which is not conducive to the development of polar star.

On the other hand, Volvo’s funding for Polar Star is not generous, which makes Polar Star slow in terms of factory construction and retail network construction. This is also reflected in Volvo’s financial report.

According to the financial report, the loss of Polar Star reached 520 million Swedish kronor (about 380 million yuan) in 2018. Perhaps in order to improve cash flow, it was recently reported that Polar Star is promoting financing and will issue an IPO in the future.

Thomas Ingrat, CEO of Polar Star Brand, also confirmed that the goal of Polar Star’s medium and long-term development is very clear, which is to open the door to IPO and stock market.

Get an electric shock before Tesla

But in fact, Volvo is the earliest luxury brand that "gets an electric shock".

As early as 1992, Volvo launched the ECC model, started the exploration of electrification, and launched the ECC model. This car uses gas turbine+electric drive, not only that, but also the whole car is made of recyclable materials.

In 2007, when Europe scoffed at the electrification of automobiles, it was Volvo that released C30 Electric and stood up for electric vehicles. The car is equipped with "DRIVE" powertrain technology, adopts a mid-range battery pack, and has a cruising range of 150km. It takes only 8 hours to fully charge the household charging pile.

At that time, Tesla was only established for more than three years, and its first automobile product Roadster was not released.

Volvo is also the first traditional car company to stand up and specify the time to stop production of traditional fuel vehicles. In July 2017, Volvo announced that it would stop production of fuel vehicles after 2019.

However, all Volvo did was pay lip service. After the timetable of "stopping production of fuel vehicles" was put forward, Volvo’s electric vehicle project did not speed up. It was not until October 2019 that Volvo launched the first pure electric vehicle XC40 RECHARGE.

At the same time, other new energy car companies have accelerated their pace.

In 2017, Tesla set up a branch in China, which achieved sales of more than 20,000 electric vehicles that year. In 2018, Audi e-tron made its debut in China. Soon after, Mercedes-Benz EQC appeared in China.

Volvo’s XC40 RECHARGE is not only a late debut, but also an "oil-to-electricity" model, which is based on the Volvo XC40 fuel version. The product of "oil to electricity" has shortcomings such as short battery life, slow charging, unstable chassis and poor handling since its birth.

In 2020, Volvo XC40 RECHARGE sold only 87 vehicles; In January 2021, its sales volume was 51 vehicles.

Difficult IPO

At present, Geely is considering restarting its subsidiary Volvo’s IPO plan, and Volvo’s valuation may be around 20 billion US dollars.

Geely Holding will negotiate Volvo’s IPO as soon as this year, and consider potential listing sites including Stockholm and Amsterdam.

At present, IPO preparation is still in its infancy, and details such as potential valuation may change. Volvo Cars will also judge various IPO schemes, and if necessary, it will make regulatory disclosure at an appropriate time.

Previously, Geely Holding prepared for the IPO of Volvo Cars in 2018, but investors were hesitant about its valuation of up to 30 billion US dollars, and then Volvo’s listing went nowhere.

It is difficult to go public not only because the valuation is too high, but because Volvo is not worth the valuation.

As we all know, Volvo has got a hard hand in price reduction. The sharp price reduction has temporarily brought about an increase in Volvo’s sales, but it has greatly reduced its brand power and lowered its brand image.

Volvo’s technology has been continuously delegated to Geely, which will undoubtedly greatly reduce its brand image.

Price reduction and technology decentralization have undoubtedly made Volvo lose the dignity and value of luxury brands.

At the same time, it has greatly reduced consumers’ confidence in this brand. With the decline of brand power and consumer confidence, Volvo’s sales growth rate has slowed down significantly.

In terms of product quality, Volvo has also begun to decline.

Although Volvo has always advertised its own safety, frequent quality problems and many large-scale vehicle recalls have torn the label of Volvo’s "safety" completely.

In 2020 alone, Volvo recalled four times, involving more than 530,000 vehicles. Moreover, the number of vehicles recalled due to hidden dangers in seat belts is as high as 245,000.

As the inventor of three-point seat belts, Volvo finally stumbled in its own field, which forced people to re-examine Volvo.

The "low frequency resonance" problem of Volvo’s main sales models has also caused its reputation to decline.

Of course, the manufacturer has not come up with an effective solution, and this problem still plagues many Volvo car owners for a long time. Such quality makes it difficult to link Volvo with the "safety" label again.

As the brand image goes from bad to worse, the brand power is greatly reduced and quality problems appear frequently, Volvo’s future road becomes more and more difficult.

With the intensification of competition, even if Volvo goes public smoothly in the future, it will worry about the stock price.

"I am looking for a travel partner on May 1, and my friends have all gone home. I don’t want to go out to play alone."

"Take a reading partner and share the list of books recently read and planted grass with each other."

Recently, partner culture is very popular on the Internet. Partner, a new social relationship, focuses on precise companionship in the vertical field. According to different personal needs, it can be subdivided into "online at any time and lose contact after work", "paid toilet, two-person trip", and "like-minded, go to the dining hall together". During the May Day holiday, many people posted on social platforms, asking for "travel partners" to travel together.

There is no doubt,Partner, a relationship between close friends and strangers and linked by interests, has become a new favorite of young people.. In Tik Tok, the topic of # rice partner has been played 5.95 billion times, and the number of # game partner has been played 4.62 billion times. The traffic is remarkable.

In Xiaohongshu, the "trend distribution center", he boarded the hot search platform by "looking for a meal partner", and the user @ Xiaoxing Chip "opened his mind" in Xiaohongshu: just have a new meal partner, go to the store with the meal partner, and unlock a restaurant that he always wanted to go but didn’t make it. In the notes, she described in detail the precautions before, during and after the blind date, and won 12,000 praises.

At the same time, Xiaohongshu has also set off a wave of online "looking for partners", and users have written down their own "professional counterparts" to open up their own circle of friends in addition to traditional acquaintances.

Behind the prevalence of "partner culture", does it reflect the new social solution of Xiaohongshu?

01. Find a partner in Xiaohongshu

"I don’t know if I came back from my nap. In short, I fell asleep smoothly today, and I didn’t feel like I had a headache before. "

In Xiaohongshu, @ Yangyangzi loves to fish, so she took a photo. She covered a blanket with her nap and huddled on a mat about 1 meter in Zhang Kuan, sleeping soundly on the office floor. The existence of a nap partner makes the nap time in the office instantly warm and natural.

Of course, some people get their partners, and some people lose their partners. After the partners who eat together at work leave their jobs, Ms. @ Bajiao posted in Xiaohongshu to express her pain, but the roar of "Swallow, can’t I live without you?" Swallow didn’t win the return of the other party.

Xiaohongshu blogger @ Yangyangzi loves fishing, @ Ms. Banana

Partnering is gradually becoming a new social trend.. Choose incense between going to work and making progress, choose funny young people between making money and making friends, and choose partners between strangers and close friends.

According to the data of DT Research Institute, more than half of the people have at least one partner, and more than half of them want to have a partner. Only 4.2% of the total number of people explicitly refuse to socialize with their partners. At the same time, the qualities that people value most in the partner are congenial, easy-going and generous, which can be called the "three virtues" of the partner and also reflect the relationship needs of contemporary young people.

When the existing interpersonal relationship is not enough to meet their own communication needs, it is particularly important to find a partner who shares their hobbies.

In Xiaohongshu, you can also brush a variety of "seeking partners" notes.. In a note looking for a "weekend partner", blogger @-ZQ. explained his hobbies and needs for a "partner" in detail. For her, finding a partner is because "there are a lot of ideas but not many of them have been realized. Friends are all in love at work, not always dating." The "light relationship" between strangers and close friends can fully meet her needs.

In addition, there is also a "reading partner". Bloggers hope that two people can inspire each other, give each other different opinions and thoughts, "hug each other", and hope to relieve anxiety through hugging, "make an appointment with each other", find good mountains and waters to take photos together, and improve each other’s portrait skills … NoWhether it is a flat or refined version of intimate relationship, these notes bear the curiosity and expectation of young people to broaden their social circles, and there are many people in the comment area who raise their hands to sign up.

In Xiaohongshu, there are also a few notes sharing their happy experiences after finding like-minded partners. After successfully finding a travel partner who can travel together, the user @ Gungun wants to lose weight and released his experience of a half-day trip to the zoo+dazzling rice, detailing his happiness after "team success". This kind of social relationship, which does not need daily maintenance, only meets each other’s needs, has its charm.

Little Red Book users @ Gungun wants to lose weight, @-ZQ.

There is also Xu Zhong who has the same experience. Previously, Xiaohongshu had pushed her some mbti-related analysis and stalk maps. When she was writing a little red book, she came across an "INTP making friends". The other party was not in the same city as her, but their interests and hobbies overlapped. After quickly leaving a message under this note, she quickly received a reply from the other party. Soon after, the chat battlefield between the two sides moved to WeChat, and both of them felt that the chat fit was very high. "I discovered the other me to some extent."

Of course, "finding a partner" is not completely risk-free. Short and fast social interaction may also bring "throwing the sun" friendship, or accurately "stepping on the thunder" during travel.

Source: Little Red Book User @ Refueling Duck, @Lillian Notes

In Xiaohongshu, a user posted a warning, "Don’t trust the posts that find chat partners", and listed all kinds of wonderful things that she encountered when looking for chat partners, including but not limited to asking Su Yanzhao when chatting partners came up, posting just to add heat to her account.

Even a carefully screened partner can be disappointing. The "seekers" who thought that their desire to express and talk would be completely accepted by the other party only found that this kind of social interaction itself was like "unpacking the blind box" after adding the other party’s friends. The expected high-quality chat always ended in the other party’s almost no reply, and then they realized that "they would never find a chat partner again" and "it was too internal friction to wait for the chat partner to reply to the message every day", and they were determined to turn the focus of their lives back to themselves.

02. Young people "find a partner", and the base camp is in Xiaohongshu.

It seems that this is not the first time that Little Red Book has shown its social potential.

Outdoor sports may be one of the earliest social dividends. Previously, Xiaohongshu was known as a trend culture distribution center, and the frisbee sports and camping that young people were keen on made their fortune in Xiaohongshu. Taking Frisbee as an example, this sport, which is not very popular, has attracted a large number of trendy men and women to punch cards, and the crowd increment has been significantly improved. With the blessing of professional events and clubs in the later stage, it has gradually become a national trend.

At present, Little Red Book is still the most active platform for Frisbee. Under related topics, many people directly link it with social activities, especially after it is linked with "making friends in the same city", the sport quickly expands its circle and becomes a trend social way.

Nowadays, the "partner culture" is on fire in Xiaohongshu, and there are also many notes with the topic of "finding partners" to find "alliances" in outdoor activities such as frisbee, camping and hiking.In essence, this has become a new social way for young people.These notes often have labels such as "Making friends in the same city" and "Where are you going on XX weekend", while searching for keywords in Xiaohongshu, the topic of "Making friends in Beijing" has been viewed more than 93 million times, and the social genes of the platform can be seen.

The "partner culture" gives young people a breakthrough in socializing in Xiaohongshu. What’s more interesting is that these social behaviors may not be the result of the official intentional guidance, but more based on the spontaneous generation of the platform ecology, and then the official traffic blessing will help the rapid growth of the content sector.

Why the little red book? Kasi believes that Xiaohongshu takes a path of "content-driven socialization and social consumption". The real sharing atmosphere of the platform, the low threshold of graphics and text, and the strong willingness of users have jointly created the social potential of Xiaohongshu.

In essence, Xiaohongshu is still a comprehensive content exchange community based on UGC, and users’ individual experience sharing and grass shopping strategies almost account for half of the content in the station. With the expansion of the life dimension covered by the platform, "sharing" and "truth" have become the core keywords of Xiaohongshu’s self-creation in recent years.

When talking to Liu Qing, Xiaohongshu COO Conan said, "Many platforms are more about recording and self-expression. What we cut in at that time was sharing. Sharing must be hoping to help others, encourage sharing itself, and become a community atmosphere, making everyone more willing to share. "

Xiaohongshu understands the user’s behavioral logic. When individual experience is not enough to support an action, they often refer to the opinions of others, and such content can be found everywhere in Xiaohongshu, such as platform questioning posts and raiders posts; At the same time,The community culture of Xiaohongshu is divided into interest and hobby. When interest becomes an important link in the link relationship, socialization naturally comes into being.

In Xiaohongshu, dating, looking for a partner, cooking tea around the stove, feeding cats at home, and even looking for coser to play a boyfriend are all social behaviors that actually happen between users.

Of course, it’s not just the little red book that makes social efforts. In the era of striving for user stock, content platforms are trying their best to strengthen socialization and keep users on the platform with social closed loop. Among them, how to design user interaction has become a part that ambitious platforms must solve.

Creating a lifestyle may be one of the common directions of content platforms.For example, slogan in Aauto Quicker "embraces every life", Tik Tok "records a beautiful life", and slogan in Xiaohongshu has moved from "foreign good things" to "marking my life".

Tik Tok’s water testing socialization began in 2017. At the "Today’s Headline Creators’ Conference", Zhang Yiming announced that he would move from "smart recommendation" to "smart socialization". In the following years, Tik Tok made many moves to explore social interaction, such as "multi-flash" and "flying chat" on the off-site online APP, but all ended up off the shelf. In 2019, Tik Tok began to test the group chat section in the station, and then tested a number of functions around making friends, such as live voice dating, connection, video calling, watching videos together, friends in the same city, daily life and so on.

In comparison,Xiaohongshu has more potential and advantages in social interaction, but how to guide users’ spontaneous behavior into the correct position is a problem that Xiaohongshu needs to think about.

Last October, Xiaohongshu tested the new function "Voice Live", which focuses on voice socialization. Users can create open rooms and discuss many topics of interest with strangers. Functionally, it can be called Little Red Book Voice Chat Room, which aims to strengthen users’ social behavior.

In February of this year, after several rounds of internal testing, the platform launched the "group chat" function again, continuing to break the social model of acquaintances based on reality and linking strangers with hobbies. In the group chat square, users can choose the content they are interested in and click Apply to join. At present, the founders of group chat include brands and merchants, as well as experts and amateur bloggers. At the same time, for close friends to socialize, Xiaohongshu also launched a "howling" function to receive photos shared by friends.

However, in order to really enjoy the "social" bonus, Little Red Book still has many problems to explore.

　　In a blink of an eye, 2018 is about halfway through. In July, there is a big wave of new policies about your wallet: the reduction of tariffs on imported consumer goods, the cancellation of traffic roaming fees, etc. What other new policies are there?

　　1 enterprise employees’ pensions shall be subject to the central adjustment system.

　　The State Council recently issued the Notice on Establishing the Central Adjustment System of the Basic Endowment Insurance Fund for Enterprise Employees, and decided to establish the central adjustment system of the endowment insurance fund, which will be implemented on July 1, 2018. On the basis of the current provincial overall planning of basic old-age insurance for enterprise employees, a central adjustment fund for old-age insurance will be established, and the old-age insurance funds in various provinces will be appropriately adjusted to ensure that basic pensions are paid in full and on time.

　　The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said that the implementation of the central fund transfer system will not increase the burden on enterprises and individuals and will not affect the treatment of retirees. First, do not increase the proportion of contributions paid by enterprises and individual employees. The establishment of a central fund adjustment system is mainly to adjust the surplus and deficiency of funds between provinces. The total income and expenditure of the national endowment insurance fund in the current period has not changed, and enterprises and individual employees do not need to pay extra fees, which will not increase the overall burden of society. Second, it will not change the current pension insurance benefits calculation and adjustment methods, and will not affect the personal benefits of retirees. In some provinces, the amount of funds borrowed is greater than the amount of funds allocated. In these provinces, the burden of old-age care is relatively light and the fund support ability is strong. After adjustment, it will not affect the timely and full payment of current pensions. In some provinces, the amount of funds allocated is greater than that of the above solution. Through adjustment, the pressure of fund payment can be appropriately alleviated, and the basic pension can be better guaranteed to be paid in full and on time.

　　2. Adjustment of social security payment base

　　Many places in the country have successively announced the social security payment base in 2018. Taking Beijing as an example, the lower limit of the payment base for employees participating in basic old-age insurance and unemployment insurance is 40% of the average monthly salary of employees in Beijing in 2017, with a minimum of 3,387 yuan, which is 305 yuan higher than last year; For employees who participate in basic medical insurance, industrial injury insurance and maternity insurance, the minimum payment base is 60% of the average monthly salary of employees in this city in 2017, with a minimum of 5,080 yuan, up 456 yuan from last year.

　　Social security payment is related to the treatment of the insured after retirement. Only when a certain payment level is reached can a better treatment level be achieved. If the payment level is too low, the pension level is still low. In other words, the payment level will increase with the increase of average salary, and the future treatment level will also increase.

　　3. The tax incentives for scientific and technical personnel will be "received"

　　The Ministry of Finance, the State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China and the Ministry of Science and Technology jointly issued the Notice on Individual Income Tax Policies for Scientific and Technological Personnel to Earn Cash Rewards from Their Post Scientific and Technological Achievements, which made it clear that since July 1, 2018, non-profit research and development institutions and institutions of higher learning approved according to the law on promoting the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, the cash rewards given to scientific and technological personnel from their post scientific and technological achievements can be included in the "salary and salary income" of scientific and technological personnel in the current month at a reduced rate of 50%, and personal income tax can be paid according to law.

　　　　　　　 When Brazil is mentioned in China, nine times out of ten, football will be mentioned. Football is not only a business card handed by Brazil to the world, but also a window for the outside world to observe Brazil.

　　　　　　　 Bai Yansong: Before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was officially held, the football match of the Olympic Games had already started. The Brazilian men’s soccer team, which had high hopes, drew 0-0 with only 10 players in the first show. The front page of Brazilian media chose the picture of Neymar sighing or feeling extremely depressed, from which we can see that for Brazilians, football is the most worrying thing.

　　　　　　　 What do Brazilians think of their own players coming to China to develop?

　　　　　　　 Rio citizens:I don’t think there is any problem. My son likes playing football at the age of 23, but there is no chance. If a China club is willing to sign him, there is no doubt that not only he will go, but I will also go with him.

　　　　　　　 Interviewed in the streets of Rio, there are some opinions about Brazilian players going to play in China, including opposition, approval and helplessness. In June this year, 56 million euros, the Chinese Super League team Shanghai signed Brazilian striker Hulk, and the high transfer fee set a new record for Chinese Super League and even Asian football.

　　　　　　　 Kuka, former head coach of Shandong Luneng:China’s football is in the development stage, and the amount of money spent on hiring players should gradually decrease in the future. As China’s salary returns to rationality, Brazilian players will gradually reduce their trips to China.

　　　　　　　 The Palmeiras team coached by Kuka is currently ranked first in Bajia League, but their head coach who coached Shandong Luneng in China was terminated, but the local fans did not think so.

　　　　　　　 Palmeiras fans:Football is a team sport. It is useless to change only KUKA. Everyone must change, China players and Brazilian players. Everyone must change. If this is not enough, then I think KUKA is not alone.

　　　　　　　 Bai Yansong:There is a questionnaire that you can have a look at. Have you heard of the clubs in China Football League? The first place is Guangzhou Evergrande, which may be related to his head coach Scolari. How many times do you remember China entering the World Cup finals? As a result, the proportion of wrong answers was the highest, and only 11% were right. The most fierce answer is never, and then the second place is 36%, more than three times, we should go in more than three times.

　　　　　　　 Football students from China.

　　　　　　　 Ma Sheng:My name is Ma Sheng. I’m 19 years old. I’m Aquarius. I came to Brazil from Anhui. My Brazilian name is Gattuso. I’m a central defender on the court. My blood type is A.

　　　　　　　 Li Yueming:My name is Li Yueming. I come from Anshan, Liaoning. I’m 19 years old. I’m a Leo. My Brazilian name is Li, which is my Chinese surname. I’m 1.89 meters and I’m a central defender on the court.

　　　　　　　 Belan Brethous, a small city 300 kilometers around Sao Paulo, is more comfortable and quiet than Sao Paulo. Ma Sheng and Li Yueming from China are training with Botafogo Professional Team in Sao Paulo. They have just finished their three-year study in Brazil, and now they are managed by Hebei Elite Football Club and Concession. To put it simply, they just finished studying abroad, and because of their outstanding performance, they stayed in Brazil to work.

　　　　　　　 Bai Yansong:In fact, there is no way to send children out to play football. The best way is that we have a very rich football environment ourselves, and then football starts with dolls, instead of starting with the president of the Football Association, as we did a few years ago.

　　　　　　　 Brazilian football has no worries about the future.

　　　　　　　 In Brazil, it is said that after children learn to walk, the first thing they do is to play football. In the eight slums in the urban-rural fringe of Rio, the reporter saw a group of barefoot children, the youngest of whom was only 4 or 5 years old, but their feet were quite sophisticated.

　　　　　　　 Reporter:What position do you play?

　　　　　　　 Iger:Forward.

　　　　　　　 Iger is 9 years old and lives in this slum. Although he hasn’t scored yet, when interviewed by reporters, he strongly urged his parents to allow him to be on TV. Iger’s idol is Neymar, born in 1992. Just like them, they played barefoot and practiced some gorgeous footwork. Fortunately, Neymar, who grew up in a slum, has become famous.

　　　　　　　 Bai Yansong:Although the sand parade of the Olympic Games on Copacabana beach seems to be unfinished, it doesn’t affect the beach next to it at all. Brazilians continue to exercise happily. We found that the Brazilian innovated football on the beach. He combined volleyball and football, two of his strongest sports, and played volleyball, which required superb skills and skills. Maybe Brazilian football will be improved.

　　　　　　　 Brazilian players and fans

　　　　　　　 In order to find the mark of Pele, we came to Santos fan bar. When we asked the fans about Pele’s impression, an old man replied, Who is Pele? Later, the owner of the bar said that he was joking with us, and this was actually Bailey’s teammate in the national team. They fought together in the 1962 World Cup and won the championship.

　　　　　　　 Coutinho:The memory is that we played football together and won the championship together. It was a grand game, and everyone was very excited. We were boiling on the court with the goddess of victory.

　　　　　　　 Pele, who started from Santos team, became a symbol of Brazilian football, which made Santos fans proud forever. Bailey’s autograph on the wall has been hanging here for almost eight years. It can be said that all Santos fans know this bar. The decoration of the bar is unified into black and white colors of the team, and the walls are covered with historical photos of the team.

　　　　　　　 Bai Yansong:There are simply too many people playing football in Brazil. Indeed, now Brazilian football seems to have encountered a huge challenge, losing 7-1 to Germany, and even the Copa America did not appear in the group stage, losing to Peru, which really shocked Brazilians. But when I really came to Brazil, I would feel that it will make a comeback soon, because there are too many people playing football, just like there are too many people playing table tennis in China. If you win or lose once, you won’t be afraid at all.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 2 (Reporter Gao Kang) The the State Council executive meeting held on June 2 studied the policies and measures to promote the high-quality development of the new energy automobile industry. In order to release the consumption potential of new energy vehicles, the meeting proposed to continue and optimize the vehicle purchase tax reduction and exemption policy for new energy vehicles.

　　New energy vehicles are the main direction of the transformation and upgrading of the automobile industry, and the development space is very broad.

　　In recent years, China’s new energy automobile industry has developed vigorously. According to the data of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, from January to April this year, the production and sales of new energy vehicles reached 2.291 million and 2.222 million, an increase of 42.8% year-on-year, with a market share of 27%; The export of new energy vehicles was 348,000, a year-on-year increase of 170%.

　　The meeting pointed out that it is necessary to consolidate and expand the development advantages of new energy vehicles, further optimize the industrial layout, strengthen key core technology research in key areas such as power battery system, new chassis structure and intelligent driving system, make overall plans for the development and utilization of domestic and international resources, improve the recycling system of power batteries, build an industrial ecology with the integrated development of "cars and energy in Lu Yun", and enhance the independent controllability and green development level of the whole industrial chain.

　　"Technological innovation is the core competitiveness of development." Cui Dongshu, Secretary-General of the National Passenger Car Market Information Association, said that in recent years, China has made remarkable achievements in the field of new energy vehicles, but it still needs to make efforts in tackling key core technologies, and at the same time, it needs to continue to make efforts in the construction of charging infrastructure and the research and development of small and micro electric vehicles.

　　Chen Shihua, Deputy Secretary-General of China Automobile Industry Association, said that from the overall automobile data this year, China’s new energy automobile industry has developed steadily, and its supply capacity and quality have been continuously improved, becoming an important force to stabilize the industry.

　　Insiders pointed out that the industry generally predicts that the development of new energy vehicles will maintain a good development trend, and the production and sales data of new energy vehicles in China is expected to usher in a new high this year. But at the same time, we should also see that at present, the confidence of automobile consumption still needs to be boosted and the potential of automobile consumption still needs to be released.

　　In this regard, the meeting pointed out that it is necessary to continue and optimize the vehicle purchase tax reduction and exemption policy for new energy vehicles, build a high-quality charging infrastructure system, further stabilize market expectations, optimize the consumption environment, and release the consumption potential of new energy vehicles.

　　"The new measures are expected to bring great impetus to the development of the new energy automobile industry in the next few years." Cui Dongshu said that the subsidy recession has a great impact on the new energy automobile industry, and consumers are sensitive to price and taxation. Continuing and optimizing the vehicle purchase tax reduction and exemption policy for new energy vehicles will further release the consumption potential of new energy vehicles and promote the sustainable and steady growth of the new energy automobile industry.
