On June 21, we learned from the official that the new M7 Ultra has been listed for 20 days and will break through 30,000 units. As of June 30, it will be able to enjoy up to 35,000 yuan in car purchase rights. According to another set of data released by the official recently, the delivery of the new M7 Ultra in 18 days has broken through 10,000 units, creating a new power model delivery record in China. At the same time, the new M7 has become the first new power model with a delivery volume of 100,000 in 2024.

In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a power system composed of a 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharger and a Huawei drive motor, and provides two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive power options. Among them, the maximum power of the range extender is 112 kilowatts, and the maximum power of the rear axle drive motor is 200 kilowatts; the four-wheel drive model adds a drive motor with a maximum power of 130 kilowatts to the front axle. The new car has a comprehensive battery life of 1300km under full oil and full power under CLTC conditions, and a pure electric battery life of 240km. Under the feeding condition, the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is 5.6L. The four-wheel drive version of the model is accelerated by 4.8s.

Geely’s commercial aerospace programme is set to fall further after the launch of the Geely Satellite Super Factory on September 27. On September 29, Spacetime Daoyu and China Great Wall Industry Group Co., Ltd. signed a launch service contract at the 13th Zhuhai Air Show. According to the contract, Spacetime Daoyu will purchase multiple Long March series launch vehicles to complete the networking of the world’s first low-orbit future travel constellation.

It is reported that the formation of a whole industrial chain layout integrating satellite design, development, manufacturing, operation and maintenance services with Spacetime Daoyu as the core is an important part of Geely’s commercial aerospace business. It is also the main direction for Spacetime Daoyu to continue to deepen aerospace information and communication (AICT), intelligent manufacturing, autonomous driving and other fields to serve human future travel. The signing of this contract means that Geely’s commercial aerospace plan has come to reality.

The sword points to the future travel

"AICT reshapes future travel". At the roundtable on the 9th and 29th, Ding Sheng, senior vice president of Spacetime Daoyu, delivered a special report, saying that establishing a business structure centered on satellite development and aerospace applications is Geely Group’s interpretation of the new situation of future travel and smart ecological applications led by aerospace technology. The layout of the entire industrial chain of commercial aerospace, the creation of the world’s first low-orbit future travel constellation, and the construction of a high-precision space-time information system integrated with heaven and earth are Geely’s specific measures to promote the deep integration of China’s commercial aerospace and intelligent manufacturing, future travel, and big data industries, and realize the commercial application of aerospace.

It is reported that the heaven and earth integrated high-precision space-time information network built by Space-Time Road Yu, with the low-orbit satellite constellation system as the core and the ground PPP-RTK monitoring network as a supplement, deeply integrates the integrity and functional safety requirements of the smart travel industry, provides low-latency, high-precision, high-reliability centimeter-level precision location information services, allows travel carriers to achieve comprehensive perception of space-time information, and performs autonomous driving decision-making and execution under centimeter-level high-precision positioning services and real-time high-precision map services, providing a safe and reliable intelligent driving experience, empowering vehicle cloud management, vehicle-road collaboration, autonomous driving, low-altitude travel and other smart travel applications to upgrade and develop.

According to Ding Sheng, in addition to the satellite business, Spacetime Daoyu will also create a "future travel" ecosystem with full coverage, with satellite routing technology, combined with multi-dimensional carriers such as cars, mobile phones, and smart wearable devices to comprehensively enhance the user travel experience. For future travel, Spacetime Daoyu will provide in-vehicle satellite Internet application services. Vehicles and mobile phones can realize data links at any location on the earth’s surface, providing ubiquitous services for users to travel and creating the ultimate travel experience. In the low-altitude field, Spacetime Daoyu, with its high-precision positioning service capabilities with seamless global coverage, can not only plan accurate "infrastructure-free roads" at low altitudes, but also provide lane-level high-precision positioning services for flying cars, empowering the diversification and transformation of future travel methods.

In addition, Space-Time Daoyu will also deeply integrate satellite Internet and 5G, leveraging the significant advantages of low-orbit satellites such as global coverage, low cost, and no geographical restrictions, as well as the core advantages of 5G high-speed rate and low latency, to provide high-speed ubiquitous, heaven and earth integrated, integrated Internet, safe and efficient vehicle-mounted satellite applications. Connect the mobile end point, vehicle to everything, and satellite Internet to form a new business format of mobile phone + car + satellite.

Building a commercial aerospace industry chain

In March this year, our country’s 14th Five-Year Plan and Vision 2035 clearly stated that it is necessary to "build a global coverage and efficient operation of communication, navigation and remote sensing space infrastructure system." Mass production of satellites is the key to building a space infrastructure system. Through mass rapid manufacturing, constellation formation, and provision of communication, navigation, remote sensing and other services, it will promote the construction of satellite Internet and industrial development in our country, and comprehensively improve the modernization level of China’s aerospace industry.

As the first enterprise to eat crabs, Geely Group has long started to lay out the commercial application of aerospace. As early as the 14th Five-Year Plan was announced, Geely had obtained the approval of the commercial satellite manufacturing project approved by the National Development and Reform Commission. On September 27, Geely Satellite Super Factory went offline in Taizhou, Zhejiang.

In this regard, Wang Yang, CEO of Geely Science and Technology Group’s aerospace sector, said that the commercial aerospace business is a typical example of Geely’s "new infrastructure" investment, not only providing infrastructure for Geely’s own integrated travel ecosystem, but also providing support for future travel, intelligent manufacturing, drone transportation, urban management and other fields. Open cooperation with ecological partners to build a technological ecological chain advantage.

As an important part, the whole industrial chain layout of satellite design, development, manufacturing, operation and maintenance services is formed with Space-Time Daoyu as the core, which is Geely’s layout for commercial aerospace. It is reported that this layout will be based on Space-Time Daoyu Shanghai Aerospace Research Institute as the core, supported by the business units of Beijing, Guangzhou, Xi’an, Nanjing and Qingdao, and relying on the production and manufacturing of Taizhou Xingkong Zhilian satellites, covering the whole industrial chain system from satellite research and development, manufacturing, measurement and control, to industrial applications.

Foreword:

In March 2021, JD.com Health Geriatric Medical Center was officially launched, and Ali Health launched a gold nurse at the same time.

After the epidemic, almost all major Internet companies are actively deploying medical and health care. The huge demand for health care exposed by the epidemic has accelerated the layout and entry of Internet Tech Giants into the medical and health field. Recently, from the latest trends of Internet companies such as Alibaba and JD.com in the field of health services, their determination to implement Internet thinking into elderly health services has been landed.

It is undeniable that the Internet has changed the world, and its influence continues to permeate the life scenes covering food, clothing, housing and transportation. For traditional industries, every influx of Internet Tech Giants will inevitably bring a shock to the industry. Therefore, the dynamics of Internet Tech Giants in the field of elderly care services have also been paid attention to and even given expectations. This article will start from the dynamics of Internet Tech Giants in the field of medical and health care, and then explore where the development of the Internet health industry will go.

Internet Tech Giants Deepen Digital Penetration in Health Services

As early as in the community group buying war, there was speculation that since Internet Tech Giants have entered the community business, will any of them see the rich elderly care services in the community? It has been proved that Internet Tech Giants cut into medical health, and then from medical health into elderly care services, has been gradually carried out.

1. ByteDance: A Preliminary Study in the Field of Healthcare

According to public information, as of February 1, 2021, ByteDance has made a total of 37 foreign investments in the past 13 months. In addition to continuing to increase investment in education, Enterprise Services, and gaming, it has continued to build up the ante technology and started a new layout in medical, consumer, and other fields.

Figure: Xiaohe APP under ByteDance

In November 2020, ByteDance launched its first business brand "Xiaohe Medical" in the medical and health field, and also released the Xiaohe Doctor App for doctors and the Xiaohe App for consumers. This is a comprehensive medical app that includes online consultation, medical consultation, medical records, health assessment and other functions to benchmark Ali Health, Ping An Good Doctor.

2. Baidu: Betting on "AI" – the "reputation" battle of the old Internet giants

In the early days, Baidu entered the medical and health track with medical knowledge sharing and medical information retrieval, but its health services were widely criticized, especially in the field of medical search. Baidu was strongly criticized by the public for the "Wei Zexi incident", and medical bidding advertising accidents occurred frequently. Baidu was also under tremendous pressure from public opinion.

According to public information, with the help of AI technology, Baidu has created an AI medical smart medical platform – Lingyi Zhihui, and provided medical institutions with five technical solutions: Clinical Assisted Decision System (CDSS), Fundus Image Analysis System, Medical Big Data Solution, Intelligent Pre-diagnosis Assistant, and Chronic Disease Management.

At present, this part of the business is mainly for the B-end market, providing technical support for hospitals. This also shows that in the future, user traffic in the Internet medical industry will come more from the hospital and the health end, and will also give birth to more B-end cooperation. The coordinated development of government and enterprises has become the mainstream.

3. Tencent: Investment + cooperation, cutting into the field of big health

Tencent’s current layout in the field of big health includes the layout based on Tencent’s product WeChat, the construction of service platforms, the release of AI + medical products, and the establishment of offline clinics. In addition, Tencent has also made a lot of investment in other big health industries. Tencent has successively raised $170 million for Lilac Garden and Registered Network (later renamed WeDoctor Group).

At present, Tencent’s own medical products include: WeChat smart hospital, smart hardware product sugar doctor, insurance platform micro insurance, medical science platform Tencent medical code, medical artificial intelligence platform Tencent Miying.

4. Ali/JD.com: From pharmaceutical retail to health services

JD.com and Ali, as Internet manufacturers that started as e-commerce companies, have natural advantages in engaging in medical and health care: that is, through Taobao, Tmall, Alipay, JD.com and other traffic entrances, consumer medical services can reach users in an all-round way.

Picture: Ali Health and JD.com Health are both in

Alipay, Taobao and JD.com interface to open independent sections

In addition to their common drainage advantages, their layouts in the medical and health field are similar, with their businesses mainly focusing on pharmaceutical e-commerce, Internet hospitals, smart elderly care, and consumer healthcare.

In terms of medical health, after years of layout, Ali Health and JD.com Health have developed relatively mature. In the field of smart medical care, they mainly rely on artificial intelligence. Ali and JD.com currently have a number of smart products. Its "Internet medical" business is mainly to cooperate with a number of hospitals to provide patients with one-stop services from registration, consultation to drug purchase. Of course, there are health codes, cloud consultation, consumer medical and other businesses.

In several major sectors, they have great advantages in the Internet pharmaceutical retail track and are also the most mature. But at present, they are obviously not satisfied with the existing status quo, but have chosen to withdraw from the comfort zone of drug sales and circulation, gradually focus on health services, and try to gnaw this hard bone.

In the health service section, the Alipay [Medical Health] channel has recently launched the "door-to-door care" section. Alipay users can conveniently book nurse door-to-door care services provided by gold nurses through the App, including door-to-door injections, door-to-door dressing changes, after-hospital care, post-operative rehabilitation, medical assistance, and so on.

Summary: Internet giants entering the health service market have obvious advantages in terms of capital, technology, traffic, brand influence, etc., and their layout in the medical and health field is very similar, which shows that the business model of "Internet + medical and health" has been relatively mature.

Policy support, market and epidemic catalysis, Internet + medical health ushered in new development

Internet companies have entered the medical and health track one after another, which is inseparable from the dual drive of policy and market.

1. Favorable policy support

The "Internet + medical and health" model has been apparent in the industry for many years, and the national policy level has also listed informatization and standardization as the focus of national medical and health work.

At the policy level, the relevant provisions of "Internet + Drug Circulation" have been greatly relaxed. On November 12, 2020, the State Drug Administration officially released the "Drug Network Sales Supervision and Administration Measures (exposure draft) ". Compared with the previous round of exposure draft, the striking breakthrough of this draft is to "conditionally liberalize" online prescription drug sales, and clearly define some vague areas.

Many industry insiders said that if this management method is implemented, it will help to standardize the Internet drug sales behavior, and also help brand pharmaceutical retail enterprises to develop drug Internet sales. "The sales pattern of online prescription drugs may be re-divided."

At the same time, "Internet +" is also gradually included in the coverage of medical insurance. In August 2019, the National Medical Insurance Administration issued the "Guiding Opinions on Improving the Price of" Internet + "Medical Services and Medical Insurance Payment Policies", proposing unified guidelines on the project management and pricing mechanism of "Internet + Medical Services" and incorporating them into the coverage of medical insurance.

This move is also a key link in the development of Internet medical care. The promotion of electronic medical insurance cards across the country is conducive to the implementation of medical insurance card-free payment and the development of Internet medical care.

2, our country’s pension health industry has huge growth space

The current status of China’s elderly care industry, whether it is real-estate institutional elderly care or home-based community elderly care, the common problem they face is the lack of high-quality medical services. Although there are currently elderly care products and services for the disabled and semi-disabled elderly, it is difficult to meet the needs of China’s huge number of elderly people who lack the ability to live by themselves in both quantity and quality.

Through the intervention of Internet technology, social resources and medical resources can be efficiently allocated, and resource utilization can be maximized. Implant "Internet +" into the medical and elderly care system, starting from the diversified needs of the elderly, re-examine the relationship between elderly care and medical services, alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand of elderly care services, and efficiently allocate medical resources.

3, the epidemic gave birth to Internet + health services

Previously, we have analyzed that the epidemic has spawned a community group buying market, which has caused Internet Tech Giants to flood into the community group buying war, bringing new business opportunities to community pension projects. In fact, in addition to community group buying, during the epidemic, the Internet medical industry has also shown explosive growth.

Picture: "Medical Museum" on the homepage of the Pinduoduo APP

According to public data, as of June 2020, there are nearly 600 Internet hospitals listed nationwide. As of now, Internet companies such as ByteDance, Alibaba, JD.com, Tencent, Pinduoduo, and Ele.me have medical and health tracks. For the huge medical and health market inspired by the epidemic, the "rich and powerful" Internet platform now sees a stage where it can show its skills.

4. It is the general trend for Internet companies to enter the medical and health track

Picture: Meituan "Internet celebrity" small medicine cabinet

The huge pharmaceutical market has allowed Meituan takeaway, Ele.me and other takeaway platforms with huge traffic advantages to also enter the pharmaceutical e-commerce market and enter the pharmaceutical O2O market. As early as 2015, Meituan takeaway had a comprehensive cooperation with the pharmaceutical O2O platform Jingle Kuaiyao, adding a "medicine" entrance, providing users with a "28-minute home delivery" service, and jointly building the country’s largest pharmaceutical O2O platform. In terms of operation, Meituan launched the "0.01 yuan to buy a small medicine cabinet" activity some time ago, which has also attracted a large number of users.

Alibaba, JD.com and other Internet giants have turned from pharmaceutical retailers to elderly care service providers, and the current entry into elderly health services has also caused a lot of shock in the elderly care circle. The actions of Internet Tech Giants, which are industry vane, also seem to suggest that health services promoted by the Internet medical ecosystem are one of the important trends in the future development of the health care industry.

Internet companies are entering medical and health services

Key features and trends

1. Pharmaceutical e-commerce is the starting point of Internet Tech Giants’ cross-border medical and health care, and it is also its main source of revenue

Whether it is a traditional Internet medical platform such as Ping An Good Doctor, WeDoctor or a rookie in the industry such as Ali Health and JD.com Health, medicine is the main source of its revenue. According to Ali’s 2020 financial report, Ali Health’s revenue in fiscal 2020 was 9.60 billion yuan, of which, the revenue of the pharmaceutical self-operated business reached 8.13 billion yuan, accounting for 84.8%, and the pharmaceutical e-commerce platform business was 1.17 billion yuan, accounting for 12.2%. The two together accounted for 97%. The pharmaceutical e-commerce business provoked the "big beam" of Ali Health’s revenue.

Similarly, according to public information, JD.com Health’s total revenue in the first half of 2020 8.80 billion, and the revenue of pharmaceutical e-commerce was about 7.70 billion, accounting for about 87.6%.

As an established Internet medical enterprise platform, Ping An Good Doctor and WeDoctor are similar to Ali Health and JD.com Health in that their main sources of revenue are pharmaceutical e-commerce. However, compared with Internet Tech Giants, which has an inherent traffic advantage, its pharmaceutical retail does not have much advantage.

According to public information, Ping An Good Doctor’s annual revenue in 2020 was 6.866 billion yuan, and the revenue of the pharmaceutical e-commerce business "Health Mall" was 3.713 billion yuan, accounting for about 54.07%. At present, it is trying to generate revenue through health insurance.

2. Shifting from pharmaceutical e-commerce to health services, more cautious

From the current dynamic of Internet companies in the field of elderly care services, they have adopted a more cautious attitude when entering elderly care services, choosing to enter this track through investment and cooperation.

For the in-hospital scenario of health services, choose to cooperate with hospitals, for example: as of the end of March 2020, Alipay has signed more than 15,000 medical institutions, including more than 3,900 secondary and tertiary hospitals, and in 17 provinces across the country, nearly 400 tertiary hospitals are connected to medical insurance payment.

For home medical care outside the hospital, it is to choose mature enterprises in the elderly care industry to cooperate. For example, JD.com and Ali have successively cooperated with gold nurses to solve the rigid demand for nursing services in the home care group. Therefore, for home care, Internet companies will not directly enter this market, but choose to enter through cooperation.

3. From online to offline, strive to create a closed loop of health management online and offline

In recent years, in order to advance the layout of health services, Ali, Tencent, JD.com and other players have already transformed the layout of the offline health industry and seized the track. In the field of pharmaceutical retail, in order to deepen the layout in the field of big health, Ali and Zhang Zhongjing Pharmacy jointly reformed the first future pharmacy in the country. At the same time, it also injected about 454 million yuan into Sushu civilian pharmacy. After that, it officially signed a strategic investment and cooperation agreement with Chinese Health, which mainly formed a deep interest bundle with physical retail pharmacies through the form of capital.

Tencent has followed the same path, investing about $500 million in the "largest" pharmacy chain in China – the pharmacy of Hillhouse Capital Group, which has nearly 12,000 stores across four platforms and stores in North China, Southwest China, Guangdong and Henan.

Picture: JD.com Group Launches "Home Doctor Guardian Star" Smart Speaker

The offline service scene mainly promotes intelligent elderly care in a technical way, and opens the door of the elderly care industry through the key of artificial intelligence offline. For the elderly at home, JD.com Group has launched "Home Doctor Guardian Star" smart speakers, "Elder Smartphones", and smart hardware products such as wearable devices for intelligent health management.

Picture: Tmall Genie

Alibaba uses the smart speaker "Tmall Genie" as the central control hub to build a "smart networked nursing home" to control high definition wireless cameras, various sensors, smart switches, LED smart light bulbs and other equipment. Tmall Genie cooperates with nursing homes in Beijing and other places to launch smart networked elderly care projects, providing advanced AI elderly care solutions for more nursing homes.

At the same time, they will also choose to cooperate with offline hospitals, offline health care communities, nursing homes and other institutions, and use their own advantages to empower health care institutions with digital intelligence technology to achieve online and offline integration, full-scene medical health and health care services, forming a closed loop for users from online consultation to in-hospital diagnosis to post-consultation health management.

4. The battle for talent could become the next point of competition

At present, in addition to relying too much on "selling drugs" for Internet + medical health revenue, its biggest disadvantage with traditional medical institutions lies in the training of doctor teams, especially in the Internet hospital sector, which has been opened by major Internet companies. The training of doctors is very weak.

Picture: The majority of physical hospitals are actively joining the construction wave of Internet hospitals

We can clearly see that Internet companies are playing more of the role of platform providers in Internet hospitals, consultations and other service links. This implies a problem, that is, when many Internet companies are starting to build "Internet hospitals" and "conquer cities and territories", whoever has the talent resources will have the advantage. Therefore, how to deeply bundle hospitals so that they can establish long-term cooperation with platforms? This is also the problem that Internet companies face when they smoothly enter from medical retail to health services.

The worst situation is that if there is a vicious competition, it may bring the dilemma of "choosing one of the two" to traditional hospitals. It will also cause chaos in Internet + health services and affect the market order. Of course, some Internet companies have also seen this problem, such as: JD.com Health and Geriatrics Center will cultivate geriatric medical talents through the establishment of geriatric medical schools, and promote the integrated development of medical services and health care services. And these self-trained professionals will also be transformed into talent reserves and enhance their competitiveness in the field of health services.

Conclusion:

Internet Tech Giants have unique advantages in terms of human, material and financial resources. Their competition in the field of health services will promote the upgrading of elderly health services, and will also bring more changes and innovations to the slightly dull elderly care industry. In the battle for medical and health care, whether it is a "hegemon" like Ali and JD.com or an "expert" like WeDoctor, Good Doctor, and Lilac Garden who win the final victory, it will bring a profound change to the elderly care service industry.

1905 movie network news In the first half of 2020, cinema movie viewing hit the pause button, but the online movie market was on the move.

　

According to public data statistics, in the first half of 2020, the number of online movies with box office share exceeding 10 million reached 30, double the number of 15 in the same period of 2019; the cumulative box office 528 million increased by 157.56% compared with the same period last year 205 million. Among them, the dual-platform broadcast of "Qimen Escape" created a new high for the single-piece box office of online movies.

As a yardstick for measuring the development of the industry, the breakthrough in the number of online movies with a box office share exceeding 10 million and the cumulative box office is not only an objective factor, but also related to the subjective factor of the collective improvement of the quality of the top works. More diverse themes, and the intersection of audiences and cinema films have become the keywords for the development of online movies in the first half of 2020.

　

30 works exceeded 10 million, and the number doubled year-on-year

After six years of precipitation, the development of online movies has passed the barbaric era of slash-and-burn cultivation and begun to move towards the era of high-quality industrial civilization. In the first half of 2020, the online movie market handed over a fairly good answer, dispelling the haze that the overall development of last year was less than expected.

　

It is understood that in the first half of 2019, 438 online movies were launched on major video platforms. Among them, there are 15 works with a share of tens of millions that can be checked. According to the latest public statistics, in the first half of 2020, 30 online movies with a share of tens of millions of box office reached 30. Among them, 20 works were broadcast on the iQIYI platform, 6 on Youku, and 5 on Tencent.

In terms of playback, except for the joint broadcast of "Qimen Escape" by iQiyi and Tencent Video, the remaining 29 works are all solo broadcasts. After 53 days of release, the cumulative box office share reached 53.034 million, setting a new record for the highest box office of a single online movie. This timeline is more than a year later than previously expected in the industry.

　

"Previously, there were simulcasts at the waist and tail, and the simulcast of the head work’Qimen Escape Armor ‘should be regarded as the first one." An online film practitioner said so. In her opinion, the dual-platform simulcast has too many accidental factors and is not representative. There may be no follow-up in the short term.

　

Although from the perspective of the film side, simulcast on different head platforms can maximize the box office revenue. But if there is no cooperation premise of independent broadcast, it is really difficult for the platform to give the optimal promotion resources and profit sharing in the station. In the future, the status quo of single-** broadcast of head works will continue.

　

Overall, the number of online movies released on major video platforms in the first half of 2020 was around 400, a significant decrease compared to 438 in the same period last year. For the industry, all this seems to be expected.

At China’s first online movie week held in October last year, iQIYI member and overseas business president Yang Xianghua revealed to the media that in the future, the platform will continue to reduce the number of online films and invest the budget in a smaller number of better films. It can be seen that reducing production has become the theme of online film development in 2020.

　

　

According to statistics, in 2019, there were nearly 40 online movies with a box office of 10 million. In the first half of 2020, this data has reached 30. On this basis, it is a foregone conclusion that the number of online movies with a box office of 10 million will exceed last year. In March this year, Tencent Video made public the rules and box office of online movies for the first time, which also made market data statistics more accurate.

　

Overall, the lack of cinema films in the first half of the year has played a certain role in boosting the market performance of online films. Coupled with the service and quality of the leading works themselves, the number of online films has increased sharply. Whether there will be more excellent works in the second half of the year still needs to be proved by the quality of the content.

Classic IP has strong ability to attract money, and the military and police themes perform well

In order to get a better return on investment, it has become the norm for online movies to be remade or adapted from classic IP. The innate audience base and emotional blessing can often make such movies get a lot of hidden dividends.

　

In the first half of 2020, online movies ranked among the top three at the box office, and the market popularity of "Qimen Escaping Jia", "A Thousand Women’s Ghost: Human Love", and "Ghost Blowing Lights in the Dragon Ridge Maze" all had IP effects. However, classic IP is also a double-edged sword. Many audiences will compare the original with the new work, and often criticize the latter more.

In the film genre, online movie audiences still prefer fantasy elements. At least ten of the 30 online movies with box office receipts exceeding 10 million contain this style.

　

In addition, the military and police themes that have performed well in theaters in recent years have also been sought after by online movie audiences. The four films of "Sniper", "Wolf Extermination Operation", "Wolf Eagle" and "SWAT Mission of the City Crisis" have obtained 2590.5 million, 18.932 million, 12.871 million and 10.147 million box office respectively.

　

Among them, "Sniper" was released on 3 days to break through 6 million box office, and the number of viewers exceeded 2.70 million. The iQIYI online movie March list shows that the film achieved 2445.7 million box office in 27 days, becoming the platform’s online movie box office champion in one fell swoop.

　　

The addition of a professional production team guarantees the quality of such content. In the list of producers of "Sniper" and "Wolf Extermination Operation", Golden Shield Film and Television Center ranks among them. Before this, Golden Shield Film and Television Center has produced "In the Name of the People", "Sparrow", "King of Special Soldiers" and other film and television dramas. In 2016, "King of Special Soldiers" created a precedent for military-themed online movies.

　

Under the dual role of policy support and market demand, the theme of military and police has become the "new blue ocean" of online film creation. In the future, there may be more such excellent works in the market.

　

Audiences intersect, revenue channels increase

In the first half of 2020, among the leading online movies, "A Thousand Ghosts: Human Love" was undoubtedly one of the most discussed works by audiences.

Previously, the distinct cinema film and online film audience groups began to intersect. During the epidemic, the cinema film promotion company that changed the track upgraded the marketing methods brought by the online film, and also enhanced the market awareness of the film.

　

At present, 23,000 netizens have given this film an average score of 4.9 points on Douban. This reflects to a certain extent that Douban users, who are mainly audiences of cinema movies, have begun to pay attention to online movies with young people in small towns as the main audience.

In an interview, Liu Zhaohui, the film’s producer, said that "an online movie is finally facing everyone’s comments by cinema standards."

　

　

Without a doubt, good content is the best tool to break through the audience barrier between cinema movies and online movies.

An online movie "Pisces Meteorite" that did not perform well at the box office has attracted the attention of many theater audiences, precisely because the quality of the content it provides exceeds audience expectations. In a state of near naked publicity, relying on the tap water of the audience, 13,000 people gave a good score of 6.9 on the average of Douban.

"Facts have proved that even if a good story is based on a 50-cent special effect, it will still immerse people in it." One netizens’ evaluation was highly praised. Some viewers even suggested that the film could be remade into a cinema movie in the future.

"The new audience may not be the audience of online movies at ordinary times, and their requirements for online movies may be higher, so it is a good thing for the industry, but for practitioners, it will not have much impact. They all need to make solid content, and joining the top content competition is the last word for development," Long Jian, the head of Chongqing’s small bench film industry and the producer of the online movie "Please God Lamp 1", said in an interview.

　

In addition to the intersection of users, the profit channels of online movies have begun to converge with cinema movies. Liu Zhaohui said in an interview with 1905 Film Network that more than a dozen teams have come to negotiate overseas copyright matters for movies. In addition, the sale of derivatives around leading online movies will also be possible in the future.

　

It should be noted that obtaining the Dragon Label is a prerequisite for online movies to go overseas. In the first half of 2020, only 5 of the 30 online movies with a box office of over 10 million won the Dragon Label. This requires the producer to have relevant layout plans when they start to code the disc.

　

"In April and May, we saw that users were reducing their viewing time. Maybe they spent too much time watching videos during the epidemic and were a little tired, so this is a natural decline. Coupled with the resumption of work, production, school, etc., these factors will also reduce this consumption." On May 19, in a conference call after the earnings release, Gong Yu, founder and CEO of iQIYI, explained the reasons for the recent decline in online movie data.

　

According to statistics, only two online movies broke the 10 million mark in May 2020. After achieving excellent results in the first half of the year, the overall trend of online movies in the second half is still full of variables. The only constant is that the audience and the market will not live up to good content.

　

On April 1, Leslie Cheung’s last concert, which was also considered a "classic", "Passion" Ultra HD Repair, premiered globally on TME live, QQ Music, WeChat Channels, Tencent Video and other platforms.

The ultra-clear repair version of the concert by Tencent Music Entertainment Group and Universal Music’s record label Polygram jointly launched, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab undertook the specific repair work of the concert video.

　

Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab is affiliated to Tencent CSIG Business Group (Cloud and Smart Industry Business Group). It has been engaged in video processing since 2013. One of its main responsibilities is to provide fully automated digital repair technology to various internal product departments, featuring low cost and high efficiency. Batch processing of 2D-based massive videos in Tencent Cloud and other systems.

　

According to reports, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab is mostly engaged in the repair of movies, TV dramas and other scenes. The repair of concerts is the first time. The difficulty lies in the fact that portraits and scenes can change and switch rapidly in the concert lighting. However, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab has previously accumulated less data in this regard.

　

Li Songnan, director of Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab, told Dongxi Entertainment that this also gave Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab the opportunity to upgrade the system and algorithm of the repair technology by repairing this concert.

　

Li Songnan said that the goal of this restoration is to ensure that the repair is as old as the old, but also to preserve the artistic effect of the concert. Due to the many scenes of the concert screen and the complicated changes caused by frequent lighting and switching, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab has adopted the measure of "algorithmic classification processing for different scenes" to find the optimal solution in the continuous trial and error, and at the same time add manual intervention to optimize the algorithm parameters.

　

The restoration of Leslie Cheung’s concert has further enriched the restoration category of Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab. In view of the strong demand for the restoration of old films, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab plans to further connect its own technology with various demand parties, and use technology to achieve the goal of helping the inheritance of classic culture.

　

First attempt at concert repair

Automated digital repair + manual intervention combined

　

Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab expert researcher Xia Zhen told Dongxi Entertainment that the cooperation between Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab and Polygram began in early March.

"At that time, Tencent Music Entertainment Group contacted Polygold Records, and the two sides had their own needs, and the cooperation was reached very quickly."

　

Xia Zhen introduced that since the establishment of Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab in 2013, one of the main technical directions has been fully automatic digital repair, but previously it was mainly engaged in the repair of movies, TV series, etc., and it was the first time to engage in the repair of concerts.

　

"Concert scenes are not as stable as movies and TV dramas, which are more uniform in terms of color and artistic style, and are more suitable for automatic repair through algorithms. The picture, color and scene of concerts are constantly changing and switching. Previously, the algorithm model of Tencent Cloud Lab did not process much data on concert scenes, so it would be difficult to automate repair based on algorithms," Xia Zhen said frankly.

　

In this regard, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab is based on a set of automated processing engines.According to the different scenes of the concert screen, the algorithm classification processing is carried out to find the optimal solution in the continuous trial and error, and the manual intervention optimization is completed.

Xia Zhen gave an example. For example, for a large scene in a concert, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab used GAN superfractions to repair it. Before the repair, such large scenes were generally blurred, but after GAN superfractions, the clarity and texture were greatly optimized. For example, if there is a lot of noise in a concert, the technical team will also reduce the noise for this scene.

　

It is understood that pure algorithm repair usually takes only two days, but this time it is a concert, so more time is spent trying different algorithms to ensure that there is a balance between the results of the algorithm and the final effect.

This is also related to the overall goal set by Tencent Cloud Lab for this fix:That is to repair the old as the old, while ensuring the improvement of image quality, it can also retain the original artistic effect of the whole concert.

　

However, Xia Zhen also said that there is no standard in the industry to define the degree of repair, "I can only say that this is the goal or purpose, and then try to adjust the algorithm towards this goal, and then try to judge according to the degree visible to the naked eye."

　

"For example, the resolution of the master tape we got at that time was only 720 × 480, which was not high. But after the repair, the relevant image quality has indeed been greatly improved. We have achieved a resolution close to 4K, and the resolution has been increased by about 6 times. The smoothness of the whole picture has also been improved. We have also made some optimizations in the frame rate, including some details of Leslie Cheung’s face, as well as his eyes, eyes, and the long fake hair he wore throughout the concert. The hair is much better than before." Xia Zhen said.

　

　

Borrow the concert to repair

Realize the dual iteration of the original technical system + algorithm

　

Li Songnan said that by repairing Leslie Cheung’s concert, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab has also undergone a relatively large number of technical iterations, mainly including system-level iterations and algorithm-level iterations.

　

The system-level iteration is mainly on the iteration of the analysis module.According to the introduction, in terms of the repair process, it is generally divided into four steps. One is intelligent analysis, which mainly analyzes the quality of the video, including the type and degree of distortion; the other is repair, which is mainly used to repair various distortions in the video, such as the distortion that often occurs in old movies, such as noise, interlaced distortion, etc.; the third is enhancement, the goal is to make the image content look clearer and richer; the fourth is coding, that is, to restore the content of the video at as little bit rate as possible.

　

The iteration of the analysis module is the first step in the repair workflow. Li Songnan said that since the algorithm of Tencent Cloud Lab has basically not touched the type of concerts before, the video content of various industries varies greatly, especially the type and intensity of video distortion in different generations are very different. "This requires the adaptability of the iterative analysis module, so that under the principle of minimizing manual intervention, the analysis module can adaptively handle different types of videos."

　

Algorithmic iteration mainly refers to video super-resolution and face repair.

　

Li Songnan said that the original work of Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab was mainly video noise reduction and background enhancement, based on traditional algorithms.

　

"After that, many of the models on Tencent Cloud were based on AI and deep learning, but they were originally based on convolutional neural networks, and now they are expanded to use generative networks because generative networks can generate a lot of details," Li Songnan said.

　

Another major iteration is face repair.According to reports, the previous face repair in the industry was mainly based on pictures. The face repair in the video of Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab was considered an innovative attempt in the industry. At the same time, with this concert starting to be based on video repair, the lab also began to make some artificial algorithm parameter adjustments based on the algorithm.

　

Li Songnan introduced: "During this research and development process, I tried some technical methods, accumulated some good results, and became a good experience in the laboratory. Of course, there is still room for progress in the future."

　

The market demand for old film restoration is increasing day by day

Technology empowered culture

　

According to official information, the Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab is a technology-oriented laboratory under the Tencent CSIG business group, and its work mainly consists of two parts. First, it will participate in the formulation of international and domestic multimedia-related standards; second, it will provide the daily accumulated technology to Tencent Cloud, Tencent PCG (Tencent Platform and Content Business Group) and WXG (Tencent WeChat Business Group), and Tencent Music Entertainment Group and other departments internally, and export the technology to customers externally.

　

Li Songnan introduced,At present, the common "old film repair" in the market generally has two categories: physical repair and digital repair. Physical repair refers to the repair of film, including removing impurities on it and repairing deformation; while digital repair is divided into automatic repair and manual repair.

　

"At present, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab mainly focuses on fully automated repair based on machine learning and deep learning. The goal is to use algorithmic automation to reduce the cost of subsequent manual repair and improve related efficiency through less human intervention," Li Songnan said.

　

This path choice comes from the needs faced by Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab. "Since the user videos served by Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab are very large, it is impossible to do fine offline processing for each video, so it is necessary to continuously improve the adaptive ability of the algorithm to achieve the purpose of saving time and increasing efficiency."

　

Li Songnan, for example, for a two-hour concert, traditional manual repair may take one or two months. But from the perspective of algorithm repair, the result can be run in two days.

　

It is understood that the market demand for the restoration of old films is increasing, and many film studios and TV stations have accumulated a large number of old videos. Some of them plan to be re-released or need to be adapted to the current 4K or 8K TV. In addition, some entertainers also need to restore earlier concerts.

　

"The restoration of old films is a relatively long-term thing, and it can be done all the time," Mr. Li said. "The reason is that the quality of the videos that the audience sees now is not bad, and the quality may not be good in three or five years. At the same time, the viewing equipment is also being upgraded. For example, VR monitors and immersive displays will be used more and more in the future, and the update of the display method will accelerate the diversification of the demand for old film restoration technology."

　

Li Songnan stressed that the current video processing is mainly based on 2D video repair and enhancement, and in terms of resolution and frame rate, try to improve the user’s immersion in 2D conditions."But in terms of the future direction, it may also develop in a holographic way.3DAlso, including3Freedom, and finally6Degrees of freedom, the lab has invested in this. "

　

However, Li Songnan also pointed out that some voices have raised the question of whether the current video repair can be used in more social fields, such as optimizing surveillance video and cracking down on crimes. "Although the current technology can achieve face repair and face clearing, it is still difficult to apply in the actual security field. It is impossible to judge whether it is that person from the video. After all, it is generated by an algorithm, and it is not suitable to use it as evidence.

　

Li Songnan said that at present, as a technical department of the laboratory, more business goals are to cooperate with more partners with the ability of the laboratory’s ultra-clear immersion repair engine, while helping the development of the audio & video industry, empowering the classic culture through technology.

"The goods have arrived today, and those at home can come and pick them up!" At 11:00 am on December 18, a group buying group in Yuzhou Xindu Community, Yuzhong District, Chongqing, became lively with the words of the group owner, "Is the beef coming too?" "There are still XX brand milk balls recently?" Many neighbors in the community have already prepared to go to group buying to get food after lunch.

In a community group buying, the head of the group is pushing panic buying information.

Recently, community group buying has attracted widespread attention. Residents in the community have become popular in many communities in Chongqing by buying daily necessities and vegetables and vegetables in the Mini Program.

However, community groups buying fire, but some people are happy and some people are worried.

Shop around

One community, two groups buying points, four groups buying Mini Programs

Located in Yuzhong District, Chongqing, Huayu Yuzhou Xindu Community is a community with more than 3,000 residents. Outside the west gate of the community, it is the largest group buying pickup point in the community. At noon on December 18, the group buying point was filled with all kinds of goods that people bought on the Mini Program. Among them, most of the vegetables and fruits were written on the packaging of each item with the screen name of the group buying person.

The group buying pick-up point, the goods are mostly fruits and vegetables and daily necessities.

"There are three groups buying things here, and they belong to the same leader." Zhao Shuang, who lives in the second building of the community, comes to get group buying things every day. "Now basically the daily vegetables and fruits will be seen in group buying, which is much cheaper than the supermarket."

There are a variety of goods in the group buying group, 50 cents can buy 350g of iodized edible salt, 3 yuan can buy 1kg of bergamot, and half a catty of pork belly only costs 9.9 yuan.

On the 18th, Zhao Shuang took away a catty of apples, a bag of bananas, a box of 20 eggs, and about two catties of emperor oranges, which added up to less than 20 yuan.

Zhao Shuang added two group buying WeChat groups in the community, which belong to two different group heads (who organize everyone to group buying together). The group heads will send the group buying information in each group buying to the group at any time for everyone to buy. In the multiple communities visited by the reporter, each group head will not push only one group buying Mini Program information. In Yuzhou Xindu Community, the two group heads have long promoted no less than four group buying Mini Program products.

Upstream news · Chongqing Morning News reporters visited more than one community, and most of the heads have more than two community group buying supply channels.

"I read all four Mini Programs every day, and then buy vegetables!" 65-year-old Chang Yanming lives in Jiahua Xincheng, Yuzhong District. After the rise of community group buying, he rarely buys vegetables in the vegetable market at the entrance of the community. "Group buying is much cheaper. In the vegetable market, a small handful of celery is at least 1.5 yuan, and group buying can buy nearly 0.5 kilograms for less than a dollar." Every day, Chang Yanming will compare the goods bought by the four community groups in the community before placing an order.

Some people are cheap and some people are convenient. Miss He, a 27-year-old female white-collar worker, is also a loyal buyer of community group buying. "After group buying, you don’t need to go to the supermarket and vegetable market. Just take the dishes you buy home at the gate of the community."

Monthly income over 10,000

The head of the group with two groups of 500 people closed the brick and mortar store for group buying

Lan Tian (pseudonym), the female head of Yuzhou Xindu Community, is a real-world friend of many residents in the community. As early as two years ago, when community group buying was not so popular, Lan Tian had already started to do community group buying. At that time, she only had one supplier.

"At first, I asked real-world friends from the property to help pull people into the group, and there were only a few group buying orders a day." Within a few months, everyone felt that group buying was very convenient, and the number of people in Lan Tian’s WeChat group quickly increased. Now, Lan Tian has opened a second group buying WeChat group. When there are many group buying people, she has to receive hundreds of orders a day.

Fruits and vegetables bought by groups of residents.

In the middle of this year, due to the impact of the pandemic, Lan Tiankai’s mother and baby store outside the community closed. She became the head of group buying full-time. The most important job every day was to pack the goods according to the group buying list after each group buying supplier delivered the goods, and wait for someone to take it. "You can have a small income of several thousand yuan a month, when you earn pocket money."

Compared to Lan Tian, Huang Qian, who is the head of Zhulin Community at Peking University, has more customers. She has two WeChat group buying groups, and the members of the two groups are rarely repeated. The second group is about to fill up with 500 people, "I am preparing to open a third group."

Huang Qian did not have her own storage point. She negotiated with the owner of a mahjong parlor in the community and borrowed the other party’s outdoor open space as a group buying pickup point. "I also put a freezer at his house and gave him 500 yuan a month." Huang Qian had three group buying suppliers, and each group buying supplier gave her a commission of more than 10% for each order, and some could reach 13%. "When the business is good, the group buying commission income can be tens of thousands." Like Lan Tian, Huang Qian also opened a brick and mortar store before, "The store closed in July this year, and I dedicated myself to group buying. This has no cost and no risk. "

Mainly group buying

"Selling vegetables is for group buying, otherwise the door will be closed."

Huang Qian introduced that since last year, she has started to do group buying. And her own brick and mortar store business is difficult to do, which became obvious after the effective prevention and control of the epidemic at the end of March this year and the store reopened. "During the epidemic, community group buying is more and more. By May this year, our store’s business was 30% less than the same period last year."

Huang Qian compared the price of group buying herself. For the same type of milk, her store needs to sell it for about 50 yuan a piece to not lose money, but in the major group buying Mini Program, the same brand of milk can be as low as about 43 yuan a piece. "Brick and mortar stores don’t have any price advantage."

In Yuzhou Xindu Community, the brick and mortar stores selling vegetables and fruits have also closed three in one year, and one of the stores specializing in fresh vegetables has only been open for two months.

"Group buying has basically become the standard for neighbors to buy vegetables. The price of group buying is too low, and we can’t win." Ms. Chen is an employee of a closed fruit store in Yuzhou Xindu Community. Ms. Chen introduced that the group buying is about 4 yuan a catty of bananas, and the brick and mortar store must sell at least 6 yuan to not lose money.

Many brick and mortar store owners are "part-time" heads.

Xiao Shi, the owner of another vegetable store in the community, was recently lobbying his regular customers to join his group buying group. Although there was already a group buying point in the community, Xiao Shi still became the head of the group. "I set myself up as a group buying point.

However, some residents have expressed their concerns about community group buying. Guan Lin, a 50-year-old resident of Huayu Linquan Yashe Community in Shapingba District, will only buy fresh fruits on the group buying platform, while fish, pork, mutton and other big-ticket goods will still go to the supermarket to buy, because they are worried that the meat on the group buying platform is not fresh, and fresh vegetables will be purchased at the vegetable stall downstairs.

Wu Qian, 23, said, "Although many things in community group buying are very cheap, some of them are not of good quality. For example, sanitary napkins and facial cleansers will buy brand products, not group buying."

　　Didi, which has been struggling to get back online for a long time, has turned its focus to the carpooling business. Since November 1, Didi has launched a new carpooling model in the Beijing area. Citizens who have not successfully carpooled will no longer enjoy the affordable "one price", but pay directly according to the real-time express price. This adjustment of the rules means that Didi will no longer provide subsidies to passengers who cannot carpool, but use price means to make more consumers accept the real carpooling business with a more shared nature.

　　Passengers have to pay more if the order is unsuccessful

　　Starting this month, when users open Didi’s taxi app, they will find that the first four options that appear on the software interface are express, simultaneous call, bicycle, and taxi. Click on the express option, select the destination, and a new "carpooling" interface will pop up. After checking, the carpooling pricing rules clearly state that "If you don’t get it, you will be priced in real time by express".

　　"In the past, no matter whether you can fight it or not, it was’one price ‘, saving money and worry. Now you can’t pick up cheap." On the morning of November 1, Mr. Guo, a citizen who often takes a taxi from Jiandemen to Chaoyang Park, discovered this new rule. The "pick up cheap" in his mouth is mainly before Didi adjusted the new rules. When citizens choose to carpool on some non-popular routes and off-peak hours, the system sometimes fails to match the carpooling order on the way, and passengers can enjoy express travel alone, but still charge according to the one-price carpool.

　　"The express train costs 37 or 38 yuan for the whole journey, and 25 yuan for carpooling can be done. Sometimes I can’t get on the bus alone, saving more than ten yuan. If I can’t get on the bus in the future, the cheap price of more than ten yuan will be gone!" Mr. Guo told reporters.

　　Didi’s customer service staff explained that before the rules were adjusted, regardless of whether the carpooling was successful or not, as long as "carpooling" was selected when placing an order, regardless of whether there was a traffic jam or not, it would be settled at the discounted price at the time of placing the order. After the adjustment, the carpooling needed to be successful to enjoy the discounted price. "Someone nearby needs to send a carpooling order at the same time, and they have to stop by to get together. If there is no shared order, the carpooling will fail." The customer service said.

　　The difficulty of carpooling has not been reduced, and the price is more affordable.

　　The reporter interviewed a number of users and found that for passengers who successfully carpool after placing an order, the price of carpooling is not only cheaper than that of express trains, but also lower than that of previous carpooling prices.

　　For example, the journey from Xiaoyueyuan in Lugou Bridge to Shougang Industrial Heritage Park is 14 kilometers, and the express train in the morning peak is close to 60 yuan. If the carpool is successful, the price will be 50 yuan, which is equivalent to about 15% off. After the rules are adjusted, the carpool price is about 34 yuan, which is 16 yuan cheaper than before. However, because there are multiple passengers paying the fare, the platform’s revenue will only increase.

　　After the rules are adjusted, is it more difficult to carpool? Many users said that it still feels easier to place an order, and it is easier to get a car during long distances during off-peak hours, when users can enjoy affordable "one price".

　　"I pulled seven carpooling orders this morning." Master Zhang, an express driver, said it was clear that the platform was sending more carpooling orders. He said that the number of carpooling orders was not related to the driver. "We just make money from the mileage, and the platform takes 25%."

　　"It doesn’t affect us much, but it’s time-consuming to take more detours to find passengers, and it’s easy to cause disputes. It’s easier to pull the express train." Express driver Master Liu told reporters that drivers are usually reluctant to take on carpooling business.

　　"The previous carpooling model’suffered a loss’ on the Didi platform." The driver, Master Jin, analyzed that whether it was spelled or not, the money given by the Didi platform was the amount of money from the departure point to the farthest destination. For example, if a passenger went from the News Building to Beiyuan, and a friend went from Chongwenmen to Datun, the fare given by the Didi platform to the driver was not the total amount of money for the two passengers, but the cost of the farthest distance from Chongwenmen to Beiyuan.

　　He believes that if the driver did not fight before, he would not suffer a loss, and only earn a little less mileage, but the platform "advanced" the money that was not spelled. After this adjustment, if the spelling is made, the platform can earn an extra order money, and the driver is still paid by the number of kilometers, so the platform "earns more".

　　Share into Didi’s profit breakthrough

　　Didi carpooling was launched in December 2015. According to the data released in April last year, the average daily order of Didi carpooling has exceeded 2.40 million yuan, becoming a typical representative of the sharing economy in the transportation field. More than 50% of passengers are willing to accept carpooling.

　　"The original intention of launching carpooling is to reduce users’ travel costs, reduce the rate of empty vehicles and improve travel efficiency by sharing seats in the car. This adjustment can better realize carpooling to share fares and reduce travel costs," Didi said.

　　According to industry analysis, after the implementation of the new carpooling regulations, Didi’s subsidies for the carpooling business will be greatly reduced, the enthusiasm of passengers for carpooling will also be higher, and the platform revenue is expected to increase significantly. Previously, Hitch, which has significant sharing characteristics, was a rare profit bright spot for Didi other than the driving business, but in the face of huge safety risks, Didi Hitch has been hesitant to resume its online service. Under the pressure, the more controllable carpooling business is likely to become the focus of Didi’s business, in order to alleviate the problem of insufficient express capacity and high prices.

　　Previously, Didi CEO Cheng Wei publicly stated, "We have not achieved profitability in six years. In the first half of 2018, the company’s overall net loss exceeded 4 billion yuan, and the entire online car-hailing industry was lossmaking."

　　"As a representative enterprise of the sharing economy, Didi’s approach of adjusting its operating model to pursue profitability should be understood." Zhang Yi, CEO of iiMedia Consulting Group, said that only by following market laws to seek profitability can companies continue to improve user experience. He believes that for the travel market, Didi is different from the traditional taxi industry. The sharing concept of carpooling can better improve idle seat resources, but the platform also needs to ensure a safe operation system to allow carpooling passengers to have a better experience.

Recently, rumors about "BYD’s new car broke its axle as soon as it was picked up" are flying all over the sky, accompanied by a group of photos of broken axles. It seems that the evidence is conclusive, which makes people believe it. For a main car that has just been listed, no matter which brand, such negative news is very "explosive", and there will definitely be countless pairs of eyeing eyes staring at you: just waiting for you to have an accident! Finally something happened, great!

What is the specific situation? It is said on the Internet that a gentleman went to the 4S shop to pick up a BYD Qin PRO during the National Day. Just one day later, the car didn’t even have a license plate. When driving to a certain section, the car suddenly had an accident. As can be seen from the circulated photos, Qin PRO’s car actually broke the axle, one side of the car tilted, and the rim looked like a ankle, which looked very funny. The occurrence of this incident made the owner very scared.

However, if you look closely at the news, you will find that it is very contradictory. There are actually two stories circulating on the Internet, the same picture, one is the owner of Guangdong, and the other is Mr. Meng from Anhui.

I don’t know, even some people from the media didn’t even figure out the basic car price. The 150,000+car was said to have been "bought for 90,000 yuan", and then they began to make up stories, just to attract attention and defraud the reading.

Xiaobian will give you a careful analysis. The picture is definitely true. Qin pro is really broken, but there are several details to say:

In the first detail, the pro logo is on the upper right corner of the rear of the production car, but the model with the broken axle in the photo does not. Anyone who has paid attention to Qin pro before knows that this is the characteristic of the test car.

The second detail, the wheel hub of the broken axle is different from that of the mass production car. The wheel hub of the broken axle is straight, but the wheel hub of the mass production car has obvious folding angle.

The third detail, the rearview mirror of the broken axle car is folded, which means that the car has been turned off and locked, indicating that the driver is not nearby. If it is really the owner, will the car be locked and left if it breaks down in the middle of the road? Obviously impossible.

Through the above three details, it can be basically confirmed that the broken axle car is a test car, not a mass production version. Some people will ask, what are we testing when the cars are on the market? Of course, we have to test it. Does it mean that the project of this car is over when the car goes on the market? Only companies that are not responsible for consumers will do this.

In order to give the public a truth, BYD officially voiced this matter for the first time, expounding the so-called "new car broken shaft" incident.

It can be seen from Guan Wei’s post that the accident vehicle is not a production model, but a test vehicle for testing, which is basically consistent with everyone’s previous inference.

Secondly, this car is not tested by BYD itself, but provided by BYD to Jiatong, a tire supplier, for tire wear test (Qin pro itself uses Michelin tires). This is a good answer to the question raised by some people, "Why are the cars still being tested?".

Thirdly, there is no so-called "broken axle" in this car, but the tire falls off because of frequent wheel replacement during the test, improper operation by the staff and irregular tire installation. The on-site investigation photos provided by BYD officials show that all five nuts on the right front wheel of the car in the incident have fallen off. According to the inspection, the transmission shaft, lower swing arm, steering knuckle and other parts of the car are in good condition, and there is no damage, and there is no so-called "broken shaft" problem.

For BYD’s response, in the face of external doubts, the investigation results and the truth of the incident were announced in time, indicating that BYD is full of confidence in this incident. In this way, the worries of the majority of riders were resolved in time, and at the same time, some people with ulterior motives were severely hit in the face.

As for whether the broken axle incident can reflect the quality problem, Xiao Bian dare not say that the broken axle of the test vehicle is a matter of course. After all, as a test vehicle, you don’t know how many kilometers it has driven before and what kind of collision it has experienced. Only the real owner has a say in the quality of the car.

　　[car home new car debut] At the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, (|) was officially unveiled. The new car is positioned as a large car, equipped with an easy four-way platform, driven by four motors, with a maximum power of 1306 HP, and its future price may reach one million.

　　Externally, the new car adopts a design language similar to looking up at U9, equipped with a very exaggerated C-shaped headlight group, with a far and near headlight group above it and a circle of LED strip around it. There are raised ribs on the hood of the engine, and the visual impact of the whole front is extremely strong. At first glance, it is a troublesome guy. In addition, there is a small bump on the roof, and the inside should be a laser radar.

　　From the side of the car body, the new car is equipped with large-size wheels with low wind resistance. The car body lines are slender and smooth, and the overall appearance is relatively low. The front fender is equipped with a diversion groove design. The new car is designed with a hidden door handle, and a charging port can be seen at the left rear of the car body. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 5265/1998/1517mm and the wheelbase is 3160mm respectively.

　　From the rear of the car, the car uses a penetrating taillight, which looks full of technology and looks up at the LOGO in the middle. The multi-layer rear surround design below improves the layering of the rear of the car. According to the previous application information, the rear of the car will be equipped with an electric adjustable spoiler, a panoramic sunroof as standard, and a streaming rearview mirror.

　　In terms of power, the car will be equipped with an easy square platform and four motors, each with a maximum power of 326 HP and a total power of 1306 HP. Although the new car has a curb weight of 3.095 tons, its top speed can still reach 270 km/h. (Compile/car home Yan Huan)

　　Yichexun　Recently, we learned from the Great Wall official that the off-road version of the gasoline model has announced the pre-sale price, and its pre-sale price range is 160,000-200,000 yuan. The new car will be officially launched on June 5, and the diesel version will be pre-sold in July. There are three versions of Great Wall Gun, namely, passenger version, commercial version and off-road version. The passenger version and commercial version have been listed in 2019, and the off-road version with the most powerful performance has attracted the attention of off-road enthusiasts.

　　The overall modeling of the cross-country version of the Great Wall Gun continues the style of the Great Wall Gun series, but on this basis, a large number of cross-country kits are added to make it more radical than the other two versions.
