21st century business herald reporter Kong Haili and intern Wang Tian report from Beijing.

　　Company No.9 (689009.SH), which focuses on high-end and young electric two-wheeled vehicles, has stepped out of the independent curve.

　　According to the semi-annual report, in the first half of 2024, Company No.9 achieved revenue of 6.666 billion yuan, up 52.2% year-on-year. Among them, revenue from electric two-wheeled vehicles more than doubled year-on-year, and its net profit was 596 million yuan, almost the same as last year’s net profit, up 167.82% year-on-year.

　　It is worth noting that the sales revenue of its own brand increased by 82% year-on-year to 5.86 billion yuan. This is the continuous advancement of No.9 "Independent" since the distribution revenue of Xiaomi customized products fell to 4.3% in FY 2023, and its sales dependence on Xiaomi has been minimal.

　　By mid-2024, Shunwei Capital, with Lei Jun as the legal person, has withdrawn from the ranks of major shareholders, and among the top ten shareholders of No.9 Company, there is no Shunwei Capital.

　　After the announcement of the financial report, the share price of Company No.9 rose by more than 13% at the opening, and finally closed at 44.58 yuan with a 7.5% increase, a record high in the past two years.

　　Electric two-wheeled vehicle "takes the lead"

　　When the overall electric two-wheeled vehicle market bid farewell to "high growth", the electric vehicle revenue of Company No.9 has been rising steadily.

　　In recent years, the position of electric vehicle business in No.9 company has become more and more prominent, and the proportion of performance has been increasing. In the first half of this year, the revenue of electric vehicles was 3.383 billion yuan, accounting for more than half of the total revenue, reaching 50.74%. This figure was 1.087%, 1.929% and 35.97% respectively in the semi-annual report from 2021 to 2023, and the corresponding turnover was 513 million yuan, 930 million yuan and 1.575 billion yuan respectively.

　　In the first half of the year, electric balance cars and electric scooters realized a revenue of 1.59 billion yuan, accounting for 23.8% of the revenue. Service robots, all-terrain vehicles and other products and accessories earned 470 million yuan, 510 million yuan, 110 million yuan and 610 million yuan respectively.

　　In the first half of the year, Company No.9 sold 1.2 million electric two-wheeled vehicles, about 12,100 all-terrain vehicles and 518,100 self-owned brand retail scooters.

　　The rapid growth of electric two-wheeled vehicles’ performance is partly due to the expanding number of stores of No.9 Company.

　　According to the information disclosed by the company, by the end of June, there were over 6,200 franchised stores of electric two-wheeled vehicles in China, covering more than 1,100 counties and cities. In the data disclosed earlier this year, Company No.9 indicated that there were about 5,000 offline stores.

　　Company No.9, which focuses on the high-end market, has a higher gross profit margin of electric two-wheeled vehicles than its peers. In the first half of the year, the gross profit margin of electric two-wheeled vehicles of Company No.9 was about 22.26%, which was higher than 19.27% at the end of last year.

　　According to Company No.9, the gross profit margin of the electric two-wheeled vehicle business is 23.73% if the influence of store building subsidy is excluded.

　　In contrast, the company’s service robots have the highest gross profit margin, reaching 56.23%. The gross profit margin of electric balance car and scooter is about 33.79%.

　　Different from relying more on foreign markets before, today, the domestic market has become the largest source of income for Company No.9.. In the first half of the year, the domestic market revenue of No.9 Company reached 3.86 billion yuan, far exceeding the foreign revenue of 2.8 billion yuan.

　　However, on the whole, foreign regions still have higher gross profit margins. In the first half of the year, the gross profit margin of foreign countries was 38.29%, and that of domestic countries was 24.76%.

　　In order to promote business growth, Company No.9 continued to invest heavily in advertising promotion in the first half of the year. The company’s sales expenses increased from 460 million yuan in the same period last year to 640 million yuan this year. Among them, the publicity and advertising expenses increased from 150 million yuan last year to 250 million yuan this year.

　　In the first half of the year, the net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company of Company No.9 was about 600 million yuan, an increase of 167.8% over the same period of last year, reversing the year-on-year decline. The net cash flow from operating activities was about 2.49 billion yuan, the net cash increase was 830 million yuan, and the ending cash balance was 5.28 billion yuan.

　　The surplus cash in the account also enabled Company No.9 to start fund management. In the first half of this year, Company No.9 used part of its funds to purchase wealth management products, and the transaction scale of wealth management products reached 4.8 billion yuan, a significant increase compared with nearly 700 million yuan in the same period last year. By the end of June, the balance of its trading financial assets had increased from 228 million yuan at the end of last year to 1.47 billion yuan at the end of the first half of this year.

　　Earlier, the company also said that it is expected to use no more than 1.1 billion yuan to purchase land use rights and carry out headquarters research and development and office building construction. The land area is about 10,000 square meters, and the above-ground construction area is about 34,000 square meters. The construction period is 4 years, and the capital will be invested in batches.

　　According to the semi-annual report information disclosed by No.9 Company, the budget for R&D and office building construction of Beijing headquarters is 1.05 billion yuan, and the amount invested at present is about 17 million yuan, accounting for 1.62% of the total budget.

　　"De-millet" is basically completed.

　　Company No.9 was once a Xiaomi ecological chain enterprise, and was "supported" by Xiaomi in the early days.

　　In 2015, with the help of Xiaomi and Sequoia, Company No.9 acquired Segway, a well-known American balance car brand, thus opening up the balance car market. At the same time, Company No.9 became a new member of Xiaomi’s ecological chain, producing balance cars and scooters for it.

　　Backed by Xiaomi’s sales channel, No.9 achieved rapid sales growth, but its gross profit margin was relatively low. In the fiscal year of 2017-2019, the fetters between Company No.9 and Xiaomi were still deep, and the related transactions accounted for more than 50% of the revenue.

　　After listing in 2020, Company No.9 continuously reduced its business dependence on Xiaomi. In 2021, the distribution revenue of Xiaomi’s customized products accounted for 32.29%, which dropped sharply to 7.23% in 2022, and further dropped to 4.3% in 2023.

　　Xiaomi’s customized distribution income is declining year by year, and the income of No.9′ s own brand is gradually increasing. In fiscal year 2023, its own brand sales revenue was 8.189 billion yuan, up 31.36% year-on-year. In the first half of this year, this figure was 5.86 billion yuan, up 82% year-on-year.

　　In the mid-year report in 2024, although Company No.9 did not separately disclose the revenue proportion of Xiaomi distribution, the overall revenue structure of the company, including electric vehicles, all-terrain vehicles, service robots and other income, has reached 84.54%.

　　21st century business herald reporter learned from insiders of No.9 Company that "this is a better change". The source said that from the initial listing, Xiaomi channel sales accounted for more than half, and now it accounts for less than 5%. The income structure of Company No.9 has undergone great changes, and the proportion of truly profitable and sustainable businesses has increased significantly.

　　"This is a natural result. The company’s investment in independent brands is increasing, and it is also a process of active change." The person said.

　　In the first half of 2024, the net profit of Company No.9 was 596 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 167.82%, which was close to the net profit level of the whole year of 2023 (598 million yuan).

　　In terms of capital mobility, in this year’s interim report, Shunwei Capital has withdrawn from the ranks of major shareholders of No.9 Company.

　　The data shows that as of the first quarter of this year, Shunwei TMT lll Limited, a subsidiary of Shunwei Capital, holds 4.01% of the shares and is the sixth largest shareholder. The reference market value of Company No.9 at that time was 859 million yuan. Today, the tenth largest shareholder of Company No.9 is HC Tech LLL.P., with a shareholding ratio of 2.05% and a reference market value of 542 million yuan. Based on this calculation, the amount of capital reduction of Shunwei is at least 300 million yuan.

　　In addition to Shunwei, Sequoia Capital has also reduced its holdings of Company No.9 for many times. Sequoia Capital was once the largest external institutional investor of No.9. When the latter went public, Sequoia Capital held 15.12% of its shares. As of June 30, 2024, the shareholding ratio of Sequoia’s HSGGF Hold Co III-A, Ltd. was 5.1%, which was further reduced from 5.78% at the end of 2023.

　　By June 30, 2024, the actual controllers Gao Lufeng and Wang Ye of Company No.9 jointly controlled 60.05% of the voting rights of the Company.

　　No.9 is not the only company that "goes to Xiaomi".

　　In the smart home appliance market, Roborock, which specializes in wireless vacuum cleaners and intelligent sweeping robots, has developed from wireless vacuum cleaners to the pursuit technology of sweeping robots, floor washers and hair dryers. After large-scale development, it has gradually reduced the proportion of millet sales channels and continued to "de-millet".

　　A practitioner in the smart home appliance industry told 21st century business herald that it is a routine business operation for Xiaomi Eco-chain enterprises to seek independence after scale, and they hope to reduce the impact of the main single channel on the company’s operation and seek a healthier revenue structure.

　　Cctv newsCarlos ghosn, the former chairman of Nissan Motor Company, who was released on bail pending trial in Japan for financial crimes, confirmed on December 31, 2019 that he was already in Lebanon. There is no official conclusion on how Ghosn left Japan. Some media said that he may have jumped bail and left by private jet.

　　Ghosn issued a statement on December 31, 2019 confirming that he was in Lebanon. However, the statement did not disclose how Ghosn left Japan and only promised to tell the media the details next week. The Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK) reported that Ghosn left Japan under a pseudonym and forged documents with the help of others. Lebanese MTV reported that Ghosn departed from a local airport in Japan, transited through Ankara, the capital of Turkey, and finally arrived in Beirut. When Ghosn arrived in Lebanon, many media had different opinions.

　　The Associated Press reported that Ghosn’s statement said that he did not escape the trial, but only wanted to avoid "injustice and political persecution". Ghosn has always claimed to be the victim of the rebellion of the board of directors since his first arrest, and accused Nissan executives of fabricating charges and conspiring to deprive him of the leadership of the enterprise in order to prevent Nissan from deepening the "integration" with Renault Automobile Company of France, thus endangering the interests of Japanese shareholders. Lawyer Ghosn also pointed out that the Japanese government may be involved.

　　Shortly after Ghosn issued a statement confirming that he was in Lebanon, one of his lawyers, Japanese lawyer Hiroyuki Ichiro, was interviewed by media reporters, saying that he "knows no more than media reports".

　　Japanese police launched an investigation into Ghosn’s escape

　　According to Japanese media reports, Japanese police have collected surveillance videos of Ghosn’s residence in Tokyo and related places during his bail, and investigated the exit situation of airports around the country. The police believe that many people helped Ghosn escape, but no specific details have been released yet. We have learned that Ghosn has the nationality of Brazil, France and Lebanon at the same time. Although the Lebanese side said that "Ghosn used his own French passport when he entered the country, and the relevant procedures were legal", Ghosn’s Japanese lawyer team said that according to the relevant bail regulations, all Ghosn’s passports are still in the hands of lawyers. An hour ago, we got the latest news that the French side issued Ghosn with two passports, one of which was kept by the lawyers’ group and the other by myself. We immediately contacted Ghosn’s team of lawyers about passport keeping, but as Japan is on New Year’s Day holiday, we haven’t got the relevant reply.

　　In fact, until December 31, 2019, when the media in Lebanon and Europe and the United States revealed that Ghosn had arrived in Lebanon, the Japanese Ministry of Justice, the Prosecutor’s Office and the border management department were still unaware of Ghosn’s escape. Japanese officials have not yet responded to how Ghosn escaped. We contacted the Japanese Police Department, which said that it is still in the stage of collecting information and is under investigation, and there is no investigation result. Not only the government departments, but also the Japanese media’s response during New Year’s Day is relatively slow, because it is the most important festival in Japan. At present, Japanese media only quoted Lebanese reports that Ghosn fled Tokyo in a musical instrument box and boarded a private plane to Turkey at Kansai Airport in Osaka. But this statement has not been officially confirmed. At present, it can only be confirmed that Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has indicated that there was indeed a private jet flying from Kansai Airport to Istanbul, Turkey on December 29, 2019.

　　Some Japanese media and people speculated that Ghosn was likely to escape from Japan in disguise. In March 2019, when Ghosn was released on bail for the first time in Japan and left the detention center, he once put on work clothes, put on a mask and disguised himself as an engineering worker. However, because of his short stature, he is very domineering and has characteristics when walking, and he is still recognized by reporters who are squatting. This time, under the strict monitoring during the bail period, Ghosn still successfully arrived in Lebanon through numerous checkpoints, which triggered concerns about Japan’s security and entry and exit issues. Especially when the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games is just around the corner, tens of millions of athletes and spectators from all over the world will enter Japan. How to strengthen border management and ensure personnel safety is also called the focus of attention.

　　Lebanon and France’s reaction to Ghosn’s "Prison Break"

　　Ghosn, 65, is a Lebanese born in Brazil and holds Brazilian, French and Lebanese nationalities. The Lebanese Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying that Ghosn entered the country legally. At present, there is no extradition treaty between Japan and Lebanon, which means Ghosn will not face any legal proceedings in Lebanon.

　　In November 2018 and April 2019, Ghosn was arrested twice in Japan and paid bail of 1 billion yen (about 64.08 million yuan) and 500 million yen (about 32.04 million yuan). Ghosn has so far been accused of underreporting huge income and transferring personal investment losses to Nissan. According to the bail regulations, Ghosn’s French, Brazilian and Lebanese passports are kept by Ghosn’s lawyers.

　　The Lebanese Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying that Ghosn entered the country legally, but he did not know the details of his departure from Japan and his arrival in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. The statement mentioned that there is no extradition treaty between Japan and Lebanon. On the same day, the Lebanese security department issued a statement confirming that Ghosn would not face any legal proceedings in Lebanon.

　　The French side said that it was "very surprised" to learn that Ghosn left Japan. But considering Ghosn is a French citizen, France will provide him with consular assistance. However, Ghosn cannot be above the law.

　　As the leading third-party automobile quality evaluation platform in China, Chezhi. com launched the column of "New Car Commodity Evaluation" based on massive automobile product test samples and scientific data model. Every month, according to several models on sale that have been listed in China for less than two years, and the mileage is less than 5,000 kilometers, through the two dimensions of objective data and subjective feelings, senior appraisers use professional equipment to systematically test and evaluate, so as to comprehensively display and analyze the overall commodity level of new cars in the domestic automobile market and provide objective and true opinions for consumers when purchasing vehicles.

　　With the continuous efforts of independent brands in the field of electrification, more and more domestic hybrid models have entered everyone’s sight, and Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing is one of them. The new car inherits the leapfrog positioning and simple design of Xingrui family, and has outstanding performance in intelligent technology configuration and fuel economy. According to the data of Chezhi. com, as of press time, the cumulative number of complaints of 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing since its listing is only three, and its word-of-mouth performance is stable in the short term. Then, can the 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing continue the existing word-of-mouth performance? Will there be some new problems that ordinary consumers can’t find? This issue of "new car commodity evaluation" will clear the fog for you, and restore a real 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing through objective data and subjective feelings.

　　I. Objective data

　　This project mainly shows the performance of the new car in terms of merchandise in an all-round way in the form of objective data through the field tests of 12 items such as body technology, paint film level, air quality inside the car, vibration and noise, parking radar and lighting/vision.

　　In the process of body testing, 10 key parts are selected for the whole vehicle, and 3 key points are selected for each key part to measure, so as to evaluate the uniformity of gaps in each key part. According to the test results, the average gap between the rear fender and the trunk on both sides of the 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing is high, while the average gap in other parts is relatively low and the uniformity is good, so the vehicle technology level is remarkable.

　　In the test of paint film level, it can be found that the average thickness of paint film of 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing vehicle is about 165.5μm, and the data level exceeds the standard value of advanced vehicles (120μm-150μm). According to the test data of key parts, except for the high paint film thickness of the trunk, the spraying uniformity of other parts is good, and the overall test results are excellent.

　　In the test of indoor air quality, the vehicle was placed in an internal ground parking lot with few vehicles, and no formaldehyde was detected in the car of 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing, which fully met the relevant standards in the Guide for Air Quality Evaluation in Passenger Cars (People’s Republic of China (PRC) National Standard GB/T 27630-2011) jointly issued by the former Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine on March 1, 2012.

　　In the static noise test, the measured noise value of 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing in the stationary state is 30dB, which reaches the lowest value of the test instrument. Because the car is equipped with a hybrid electric system, the engine does not work by default at idle speed, so it is impossible to test the noise of the engine at 2000 rpm and 3000 rpm.

　　In the air conditioning noise test, the test instrument is placed about 10cm away from the air outlet of the air conditioner, and then the air volume of the air conditioner is increased from small to large, and the noise value of the driver’s position in different gears is measured. According to the actual measurement, the air conditioning regulation of 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing is divided into 9 grades, and the noise value measured when the top grade is turned on is 65.9dB, which is in the middle and upper reaches of the tested models of the same class.

　　In the static in-vehicle vibration test, the vibration value at the steering wheel of the 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing is always 0, and the vibration values of the front and rear seats are also at a low level and remain unchanged, with little sense of body.

　　In addition, we also tested the parking radar, lighting/vision, control system, tires, sunroof, seat and trunk. After testing, the skylight area ratio and openable area of 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing are considerable, which can provide good lighting and ventilation effects. The tires of the evaluation car adopt ATLAS AS330 series products, and adopt variable pitch pattern design, which can significantly reduce driving noise. The specification is 225/45 R18. Relatively speaking, the step difference between the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal is small, and it is easy to step on it. In addition, the length of the rear seat cushion is short, and it is easy to feel tired when riding for a long time.

　　Second, subjective feelings

　　This project is evaluated subjectively by several judges according to the actual static and dynamic performance of new cars. Among them, the static aspect includes four parts: external, internal, spatial and human-computer interaction; Dynamic aspects include acceleration, braking, steering, driving experience and driving safety. Finally, the total score is given by comprehensively referring to the subjective evaluation opinions of the judges, and the actual performance of the new car in terms of commodity is reflected from the perspective of subjective feelings.

　　In the external feeling evaluation, the 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing adopted a brand-new style of LED headlights and penetrating LED taillights, and provided automatic headlights, adaptive far and near light and running water turn signals, which effectively improved the recognition and sense of science and technology. The engine compartment cover is supported by double hydraulic rods, which makes it easy to open or close. The disadvantage is that the mechanical keyhole adopts hidden design, which is not convenient to use.

　　In the internal feeling evaluation, the overall design style of the 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing is more concise than that of Xingrui, and at the same time, it incorporates the through air conditioning air outlet and the double-color steering wheel, which makes the visual effect more upscale. The instrument panel is made of plastic-lined material, wood grain decoration and leather fabric, which shows the luxurious texture.

　　A set of USB Type-A+USB Type-C interfaces are respectively provided under the storage compartment of the front central channel and the air outlet of the rear air conditioner, and a mobile phone wireless charging board supporting 50W fast charging is also provided under the central control screen, so as to meet the charging needs of the occupants in the car to the maximum extent.

　　The front seat space of the 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing is satisfactory. In contrast, the rear head space is slightly cramped. The overall storage space in the car is not much, and the internal volume of the central armrest box is limited, but the glove box is relatively large and practical.

　　The 13.2-inch central control panel supports 2K HD display, with high screen definition and exquisite picture. The screen is equipped with Galaxy OS 2.0 car engine system, which runs smoothly with the blessing of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip. In terms of human-computer interaction, intelligent voice system not only supports full-scene dialogue, but also provides a more practical one-word function. The measured voice system can quickly respond to instructions, and can easily identify fuzzy semantics, and can control functions such as sunroof and seat heating through voice.

　　The 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing is equipped with a power combination of a 1.5T four-cylinder hybrid special engine and a 3-speed DHT gearbox. The engine adopts Miller cycle, and the thermal efficiency is as high as 44.26%. Due to the P1+P2 dual-motor structure, the driving motors will be in working state in most speed intervals, which makes the power output more coherent and the driving experience very light compared with the single-motor vehicle.

　　The smoothness of the 3-speed DHT gearbox is excellent, and the "presence" is not obvious during daily driving. The brake pedal stroke is moderate, the initial stage can also provide sufficient braking force, and the braking force release in the middle and rear stages is more linear, bringing people a safe and comfortable driving experience.

　　The steering force defaults to soft mode, the steering wheel feels light, and the relatively vague road feeling feedback creates a pleasant driving atmosphere, which is in line with the positioning of its family car. At the same time, the relatively small turning radius also ensures the flexibility of daily driving, and it is very easy to complete the U-turn at the intersection.

　　The chassis adopts the combination of front McPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension. The suspension is extremely tough and belongs to the type of rigid and flexible. When driving in a curve, the suppression of roll is in place, but when passing through a bumpy road, the suspension rebounds quickly and can effectively filter the vibration.

　　The 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing is equipped with L2-class assisted driving system, and the test model is also equipped with many high-level functions. The warning range of the blind spot monitoring function is reasonable, and the semi-arc warning light belt on the exterior rearview mirror is also very eye-catching. It is natural to accelerate and decelerate in the process of full-speed adaptive cruise following the car, but the distance between following the car and the preceding car is slightly larger in the nearest gear, which is easy to be jammed by other vehicles.

　　Summary:

　　Based on the above test results, it is concluded that the overall performance of the 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing in terms of objective data and subjective feelings has reached the expectations of the expert jury. On the objective data level, the body technology and paint film level are satisfactory, but there is still room for improvement in the length of the rear seat cushion. On the subjective feeling level, the 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing has performed well in lighting recognition, interior materials and human-computer interaction, but the convenience of using mechanical keys and the distance between the cruise system and the car need to be improved, and the head space in the back row and the volume of the central armrest box are also worth optimizing. On the whole, the commercial performance of the 2024 Geely Xingrui L Zhiqing is in the middle and upper reaches of the tested models of the same class.

Recently, Chery iCAR 03 officially opened the pre-sale, and the new car has launched a total of six models. The official pre-sale price is 129,800 yuan-185,800 yuan. The new car has attracted the attention of many consumers since its debut. It is not only its personalized "square box" design, but also its comprehensive strength. Now the pre-sale price has been announced and the price is attractive enough. Let’s take a look at the performance of Chery iCAR 03.

Just looking at the appearance of Chery iCAR 03, it is hard not to be attracted by it. As a whole, it looks like a trend SUV with off-road style but a sense of future technology. The front face is equipped with a closed air intake grille, the headlights on both sides are in the shape of "I", and the decorative plates with threads are used for connection. The LOGO in the middle is also in the luminous design of "I", which is very recognizable. Its under-enclosed shape has the "taste" of off-road SUV, and the blackened and tough bumper gives people the feeling that it is menacing.

Chery iCAR 03 is positioned as a pure electric compact SUV, with a body size of 4406*1910*1715mm and a wheelbase of 2715mm. From the data point of view, it is a relatively standard compact figure. But actually, its body shape is relatively square, the lines are also designed to be angular, and the wheel arches are also protruding outward, giving people the illusion of being very tall and burly. Moreover, the roof is blackened, creating a floating effect. It is also equipped with a hidden door handle and a five-spoke wheel hub shape, which enhances the sense of movement of the car.

Its tail shape has the characteristics of a new energy off-road SUV. The tail is equipped with a "small schoolbag" instead of a plug-in rear spare tire, and the taillights also adopt a mainstream vertical shape, which gives people a strong visual impact. Its lower enclosure, like the front bumper, adopts a tough shape, and has also been blackened. The overall shape is also very high when driving on the road.

Entering the interior, the design layout of the interior is not outstanding relative to the appearance. The overall design style is simple. The car is equipped with an embedded full LCD instrument panel, a 15.6-inch floating central control panel and a flat-bottomed three-spoke multi-function steering wheel. The gear shifting mechanism is made of crystal material, and the sense of science and technology is excellent. Its interior is also very detailed in creating a sense of luxury, such as using some metallic ornaments for decoration.

In terms of power, Chery iCAR 03 provides two kinds of powertrains: single-motor version and dual-motor version, in which the single-motor version is equipped with a rear motor with a maximum power of 135kW and a maximum torque of 220N·m；; The dual-motor version adds a single motor with a maximum power of 70kW and a maximum torque of 135N·m on the basis of the single-motor version, which constitutes the iWD intelligent electric four-wheel drive system. In terms of battery life, the new car is equipped with lithium iron phosphate batteries from Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, and provides three versions of CLTC with cruising range of 401km, 472km and 501km respectively.

Conclusion: Of course, after reading these performances, you will feel that it has no bright spots except its appearance. If I tell you that it is also equipped with all-aluminum girder and external power generation function with trailer qualification and 3.3kW, and look at this price, do you think it is "fragrant"?

Yu Jian presided over the meeting and informed the development of grassroots governance in the province, and arranged the next step.

In Ching-Ying Lam’s zombie movie universe, "One Eyebrow Road flyover" is like an unfinished gem. Although its light is slightly dim, it still carries his brave attempt at genre fusion. In the film, the seemingly insignificant plantain essence has become an unforgettable feeling in many people’s hearts. Where is this plantain essence? It is simply the lingering curiosity and regret in the hearts of the audience, which condensed into a sigh: "It is simply my good sister."

At the beginning of the film, the encounter between Anthony Wong (Siu-ho Chin) and Bajiaojing, like a short but unforgettable encounter, leaves people wanting more. Banana essence shows people with a red gauze and heavy eye makeup, which not only reveals the mystery of exotic customs, but also mingles with the mystery of oriental ghost stories. Her appearance seems to be a subtle subversion of traditional zombie films. However, Ching-Ying Lam’s stroke seems to be too hasty, and the role of Bajiaojing has been tasted. Without fully developing its charm, he left in a hurry, leaving the audience with infinite reverie and some regrets.

Fantasy collision across things

One Eyebrow Road flyover is special because it is not only a zombie film, but also a bold fusion of western vampire elements by Ching-Ying Lam. In that era when zombie movies flooded, Ching-Ying Lam tried to innovate and try to break the aesthetic fatigue of the audience. Although this attempt did not win the expected box office success, the courage and innovative spirit behind it are worthy of our deep thinking. Although the introduction of vampires in the film seems abrupt, it is a powerful proof that Ching-Ying Lam tried to broaden the boundaries of zombie films. Even today, this spark of cultural collision between the East and the West is still an interesting attempt.

The instantaneous brilliance of a walk-on actor

When it comes to "One Eyebrow Road flyover", I have to mention the walk-on actors who passed by. They may not have left their names, but they left their own moments on the screen. Ye suo, who plays the role of plantain essence, is such an actor. Although her appearance is short, she has become an "unsolved mystery" in the hearts of many fans with her unique image. These unknown supporting roles, like a touch of bright color in the film, are inconspicuous, but they add indispensable color to the film.

Ching-Ying Lam’s Road to Directing

As Ching-Ying Lam’s first self-directed and self-performed work, One Eyebrow Road flyover bears too many expectations and dreams. Dalu Film, co-founded with Lan Naicai and Cai Lan, is the first film "One Eyebrow Road flyover", which contains not only the love for movies, but also the expectation for the future of zombie films. Although the film failed to shine brilliantly for various reasons, it is still a stroke that cannot be ignored in Ching-Ying Lam’s film career, which witnessed his exploration and efforts on the road of directing.

Conclusion: immortal memory under the tide of the times

Ching-Ying Lam’s life is almost closely related to the development history of zombie movies. Although with the changes of the times, the impact of Hollywood blockbusters has made zombie films gradually fade away, Ching-Ying Lam’s name and the classic characters he created have long been indelible memories in the hearts of a generation. The plantain essence in One Eyebrow Road flyover may be just a glimpse, but it is also the epitome of Ching-Ying Lam’s constant exploration and attempt. In this era of information explosion, we should learn to use advanced tools to improve the viewing experience and creative efficiency, just as Sohu Simple AI provides all-round creative support to make our entertainment life more colorful.

Xiaoai students have activated about 100 million devices, woke up 8 billion times, and lived 34 million in September. Xiaomi IoT has connected 132 million devices (excluding mobile phones and laptops)-this is the latest "connection" report card given by Lei Jun at this year’s Xiaomi AIoT conference.

IoT business is an important part of Xiaomi Valuation (Tencent multiplied by Apple’s market value) ridiculed by Lei Jun on the eve of listing. During the roadshow of Xiaomi’s listing, many investors generally believed that Xiaomi’s hardware should be benchmarked against Apple, and its software should be benchmarked against Tencent, so as to calculate the value of Xiaomi. IoT not only has a lot of diversion hardware on the Xiaomi ecological chain, but also relies on this foundation for Internet services and software with strong liquidity.

However, just as there is a huge gap between monthly activity and connected devices in the published data, how to keep users’ retention and activity has always been a problem discussed by people in the industry. Fan Dian, general manager of Xiaomi IoT platform department, is no exception. Although no relevant data is given, he said in an interview with Geek Park that in the future, AI and other ways will be used to maintain user activity.

"Xiaomi also needs enough equipment activation to reduce the unit R&D cost. An analyst who did not want to be named also said that active users have another meaning for Xiaomi. Obviously, people are curious about what the next step of Xiaomi IoT will be.

Expanding the service map is the first answer given by Xiaomi. At the AIoT Developer Conference, Xiaomi announced that it will cooperate with a "mysterious" guest-IKEA from December, and all the intelligent lighting products of IKEA will be connected to the IoT platform. In the future, it will be possible to control the intelligent lighting products of IKEA through Mijia’s App and Xiao Ai’s classmates.

Not only IKEA, Xiaomi also announced that it has reached a cooperation with All Seasons Hotel, and moved the scenes such as small love speakers and intelligent lighting to the upcoming All Seasons Hotel (Shanghai Hongqiao Center Store). In addition, there is a partner who can infiltrate users’ lives from the decoration. Love space.

At this point, Xiaomi’s service targets are not only the previous intelligent hardware enterprises, intelligent hardware solutions, traditional home appliance manufacturers, voice AI platforms, but also hotels, apartments and real estate.

The importance attached to the high-frequency scene of intelligent lighting was demonstrated by Xiaomi at the first IoT Developers Conference in 2017. At that time, as a strategic partner of Xiaomi, Philips Lighting proposed that by 2020, all new lighting products would be embedded with IoT technology to achieve "interconnection".

According to statistics, in a typical user’s home, there are 17 switches on average, and a typical user performs 25,000 operations on turning on and off the lights in a year. Whether it is Philips Lighting or IKEA, intelligent lighting, as the first cooperative product, is a good decision to cultivate user stickiness.

However, analysts’ views are slightly different. An analyst who was present believed that Xiaomi cooperated with these platforms because "AI and smart home are the trends. If we only make exquisite life cost-effective products, it is actually difficult for Xiaomi and Netease YEATION to open the gap. What Xiaomi is doing now is trying to empower traditional products intelligently, which will be more cost-effective at the same price or slightly more expensive. 」

After the deployment in the past few years, Xiaomi’s smart home has achieved "a little" results. So far, Xiaomi IoT has supported 2,000 devices, covering more than 200 countries, and 132 million smart devices have been activated (excluding mobile phones and laptops).

"In the future, Xiaomi may have to think about how to connect other friendly products to his own platform as much as possible, so as to control more devices through Xiaoai students, which can promote Xiaoai students faster and more widely, but this seems a bit difficult. Some analysts have raised their concerns about the future of Xiaomi.

However, Lei Jun doesn’t seem worried. He understood the truth of "making many friends and making few enemies" a long time ago.

"Xiaomi promotes the progress of IoT equipment, on the other hand, it has also caused some misunderstandings to the industry. Is it true that I can’t connect to Xiaomi’s IoT system without joining the Xiaomi ecological chain? I repeat, no. At the meeting, Lei Jun said, "Xiaomi’s determination to open up has not changed. I hope everyone can understand this. 」

As early as 2014, Xiaomi established an ecological chain department focusing on the incubation and cultivation of intelligent hardware, and established an ecosystem composed of more than 220 companies through investment and incubation, of which more than 100 companies focused on intelligent hardware and consumer products. Last year, Lei Jun officially announced that it would open IoT capabilities to all developers and serve more third parties. This year, Lei Jun once again stressed that as long as developers access Xiaomi’s ecological agreements and specifications, they can be connected with Xiaomi.

Lei Jun said that in the next 5-10 years, AIoT will be the core strategy of Xiaomi in the future. As the name implies, Wang Peng, senior product manager of Xiaomi IoT, proposed two ways to empower future AIoT developers. The first way is AI voice empowerment, and the second way is the Internet of Everything. The most practical example is the Zigbee protocol used in smart lighting cooperation with IKEA, which will also be open to all developers next year.　 　

Some research reports pointed out that Xiaomi has now accessed hundreds of millions of intelligent hardware devices, and the entire consumer Internet of Things has begun to take shape. Other hardware devices must access Xiaomi’s IoT platform if they want to interconnect with these hundreds of millions of devices. At the same time, the use of Xiaomi platform by developers can avoid high R&D costs, greatly reduce the threshold of hardware entrepreneurship, and at the same time, there are various support such as sales channels, which is a win-win cooperation.

The research report also predicts that in the future, the IoT platform will no longer be exclusive to Xiaomi and eco-chain enterprises, but will be a huge development platform, and Xiaomi will get a lot of service fees and a lot of data.

Regardless of whether the future development direction of MIoT (Xiaomi IoT) will develop in the secondary direction, the revenue performance of IoT is indeed getting brighter and brighter. According to Xiaomi’s financial report for the third quarter of fiscal year 2018, IoT and consumer goods business contributed 10.8 billion yuan to Xiaomi, up 89.8% year-on-year. The total revenue of the business in the first three quarters of 2018 reached 28.9 billion yuan, which exceeded the total revenue of IoT and consumer goods in the whole year of last year of 23.45 billion yuan.

132 million is a number mentioned many times at the meeting. This is a smart device that Xiaomi IoT has been activated so far, which means that Xiaomi IoT has become the world’s largest consumer-grade IoT platform. In the development of IoT, the privacy policies of various countries and regions are a challenge that cannot be underestimated in front of various developers.

The EU General Data Protection Act (GDPR), which came into effect on May 25th this year, is known as the strictest user data protection act in the history of the EU. According to the provisions of GDPR, enterprises must explain to users in a way that users can understand and accept before collecting personal information, and give users the right to withdraw the license agreement at any time. Companies that violate the regulations may face a penalty of up to 20 million euros.

Xiaomi’s experience will be a valuable asset for reference. As early as 2014, Xiaomi set up the Privacy Committee, and cooperated with TRUSTe (now renamed TrustArc) in California, USA, the world’s largest privacy authentication scheme provider, to carry out privacy protection related business. By 2016, Xiaomi has obtained the privacy mark of TRUSTe.

According to Liu Kai, senior product manager of Xiaomi IoT, MIoT’s current privacy policy is configured in accordance with the highest standard GDPR, and at the same time, corresponding policy adjustments are made according to local conditions. For eco-chain partners, MIoT launched a one-stop auditing system and product privacy mechanism tools. For example, the latter provided a standardized interface to help developers realize the demand of "user withdrawal agreement".

Privacy and security are twin brothers. With Google, Apple and other technology companies, and domestic home appliance giants have seized the market in the IoT field, IoT security issues are also coming to the fore. This year, Amazon Echo broke a news story. Echo recorded a conversation between a couple living in Oregon and sent it to contacts in the address book. As Xiaomi IoT Liu Daokuan said, "IoT security is a big deal when it happens. 」　

Before "AI+IoT" became Xiaomi’s new growth engine, Liu Daokuan said that Xiaomi should first make MIoT safe. Xiaomi has a relatively complete security infrastructure and confident security protocols (Wi-Fi, BLE, Zigbee, NFC security protocols), and these successful experiences will be solidified in the form of SDK and provided to developers.

The Internet of Everything is a huge territory. Although we can’t predict the end of the arrival, fortunately, some people have started to take the lead.

The following is a record of Lei Jun’s speech:

Lei Jun: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! The popularity of our Xiaomi developer conference is far beyond imagination. Just now, I believed that all the people were jammed on the way, and they should have felt the heat of the conference. When my colleague introduced me yesterday, he said that today there are not only many developers, but also Xiaomi’s very close partners. There are also many managers’ funds of investment companies and analysts in the securities industry. I said, why are there some analysts in the securities industry? They said that Xiaomi was listed, right? In fact, it shows that everyone is very, very concerned about IoT.

IoT, the whole industry has been doing it for more than 20 years. It is not a new concept. It has been done for so many years, and it has not made a breakthrough until the last five or six years. Why? In fact, it is very simple. The IoT for more than 20 years is based on PC. When Xiaomi started to do IoT, what was Xiaomi’s thinking? When we started to do IoT, we wanted to connect all devices with mobile phones as the core, so we stood at the forefront of this era as soon as we came up.

So when we see today, why is the IoT industry developing so fast today, much faster than before? I feel grateful to this great era, that is, the mobile Internet. After we made mobile phones, when we wanted to connect all the devices, we even thought about whether we could connect with TV well. The mobile phone becomes the remote control of the TV, and the TV becomes the display of the mobile phone. How can we seamlessly connect all the devices together? This is also the reason why most Xiaomi mobile phones are equipped with infrared remote control. So, that’s our idea.

When you have a preliminary idea, is IoT done? We still encountered many difficulties. Then, we even considered whether we can use the router as a device, because the router is a device that is turned on 24 hours a day at home, so we think of the router as a home server.

I remember that we made intelligent routers very early, in fact, in order to solve the interconnection problem of IoT. When we finish all this, will things be solved? Still not. In 2014, we set up a special department to make IoT connection module, embedded system, cloud service system and control center. When we provided the whole solution, this is a photo when we released it in 2014. At that time, we proposed to provide IoT intelligent module chips to our partners at the material price. I remember that at the beginning, a Wi-Fi connection module cost more than 60 RMB, and we soon got more than a dozen modules of IoT, which effectively promoted the intelligence of the equipment.

Of course, it is not enough to do this step. In 2014, we set up the Ecological Chain Department, which specializes in incubating and cultivating intelligent hardware. We have trained nearly 100 enterprises in the past time. Of course, today, I am very happy that many Xiaomi eco-chain enterprises have grown up or even listed, such as Huami and Yunmi this year, and they have successfully listed overseas.

Therefore, after so many years of deployment, Xiaomi’s IoT has made a little progress. Let’s take a look. Up to now, 2,000 devices have been held. By the end of the third quarter, the number of activated smart device connections was 132 million (excluding mobile phones and laptops). Maybe many people don’t have much idea about 132 million units, which have already ranked first in the world among consumer IoT devices. That is to say, whether it is Google or Apple, or the domestic appliance giants, the number of devices they have activated to connect to the Internet is actually a little far from Xiaomi.

What do I think Xiaomi has done on IoT at this moment to achieve these achievements? The most important thing is that Xiaomi attaches great importance to its partners, so we set up an ecological chain department five years ago to incubate intelligent hardware startups, and we have spent a lot of money to get to today step by step in this field. So I think today’s achievements are hard-won, and we will attach great importance to the alliance with our partners as in the past.

When IoT developed into this era, two years ago, I felt that artificial intelligence had made a huge breakthrough. After AI empowered IoT, the IoT industry showed a faster growth trend. I think there are many places where AI can empower IoT. Intelligent voice assistant is only a small link, but this link has brought a huge revolution to IoT equipment. What is the most obvious thing? It’s AI’s smart speaker.

Two years ago, Xiaomi regarded AI smart speakers as a key breakthrough in strategic commanding heights. Since its release in July last year, Xiaoai smart speakers have also ranked among the best in this field. I believe that most of you here should have used Xiaoai smart speakers. Why do I ask this question? Everyone says that there are at least forty or fifty kinds of smart speakers on the market, and many people think this thing is useless. Before July last year, we had a big internal debate. Everyone felt that the technology of artificial intelligence was not so mature. After the release of this product, perhaps the reputation was not so good. But to be honest, the response after the release far exceeded my imagination. Demand has been in short supply until May and June this year. Therefore, the whole smart speaker is well received than expected.

I communicated with Xiao Ai’s R&D department, and they even told me who is the most popular with Xiao Ai’s smart speakers? He is an empty nester and has no children at home. It is quite interesting to chat with Xiao Ai’s classmates. There is also a group of children who love to use speakers as toys at home. Of course, it is very important that the small love speaker can connect the smart devices of various IoT.

What is my own idea? I believe that control technology such as AI+IoT will be embedded in every device in the future. There may not be a special device called smart speaker, or smart speaker will become a very small device. This technology is embedded in every device. For example, I don’t need this page flipper. I just need to turn the page, and it will turn the page. I think in three to five years, every smart device may have the control module of AIoT, which will make the whole interaction very interesting. Our product department has also done a lot to embed AIoT technology into the equipment. For example, a small alarm clock released a few days ago actually has the intelligent technology of Xiao Ai’s classmates. In this case, the whole application will be wider and wider. I imagine that in a few years, the cost will be so cheap that every device will be easily connected to AIoT technology.

A month ago, I released Xiaoai’s Bluetooth speaker, which is very small, 49 yuan. Although it is small, the sound quality is actually excellent. A month ago, at the Xiaomi MIX3 conference, we released this little love Bluetooth speaker. I believe that this very easy-to-use voice interactive assistant will be embedded in every smart device in the future. Of course, I won’t talk about how AI empowers big data and other aspects. I at least think that the technology of AI smart speakers will be applied to the interaction of the whole smart device. We have embedded into these devices, which is Xiaomi Xiaoai’s smart alarm clock. More than 100 yuan can solve many problems.

Let’s take a look at what achievements Xiaomi’s Xiaoai classmate’s intelligent voice assistant has made in just over a year. A total of 100 million devices have been activated, because Xiao Ai is not only on smart speakers, but also on mobile phones, televisions and children’s story machine, and 100 million devices have been activated. Accumulated 8 billion awakens, I think this figure is relatively bullish, and the monthly activity has reached the scale of 34 million at the end of September. Therefore, everyone knows an intelligent system like Xiao Ai’s. In fact, the more you use it, the more intelligent it will become. They used to joke with me that there is as much intelligence as there are people. In fact, the more you use it, the smarter it becomes. Therefore, I believe that with such a large number of users, Xiaoai’s intelligence will become higher and higher.

So, what do I want to communicate with you today? But AI+IoT is the core strategy of Xiaomi. We have the earliest layout and the largest investment in this field, and I think our determination is also the greatest. Therefore, after five or six years of layout and five or six years of growth, we have developed to today’s scale. Looking at the next 5-10 years at this moment, it will always be the core strategy of Xiaomi.

And when it comes to core strategy, what advantages does Xiaomi have compared with other peers? It is the huge intelligent hardware ecological chain and the entire ecological environment that Xiaomi has formed. Moreover, we have an online Xiaomi Mall and a wired Xiaomi Home, and we also have a good marketing channel for IoT equipment. More importantly, we have a lot of users who highly recognize Xiaomi’s products, which will greatly improve the user experience and make the perception stronger and stronger after the whole IoT is empowered.

So, speaking of this, the most important thing for me today is to introduce the open ecology of Xiaomi’s AIoT. Throughout the open ecology, there are two Xiaomi and the relevant department heads at our conference to introduce the open ecology of AIoT. One is our IoT platform department, and the other is the head of Xiaomi’s artificial intelligence voice service department, which will give you a detailed introduction to the open ecology of AIoT.

What am I going to tell you? It is the determination of Xiaomi to cooperate. Everything is connected with wisdom. If we want to connect everything, I think the most important thing is the sincerity of cooperation. In the past five or six years, Xiaomi has come to this day because of cooperation and opening up. At today’s stage, the whole giant is extremely optimistic about the AIoT industry, and the competition is becoming more and more fierce. I think Xiaomi is more open than before.

In order to promote the opening up, we set up the Xiaomi Eco-chain Department, so that on the one hand, we promoted the progress of IoT equipment, on the other hand, it also caused some misunderstandings to the industry, saying that I can’t connect to Xiaomi’s IoT system without joining the Xiaomi Eco-chain? I think this is a big misunderstanding. We set up the Eco-chain Department to promote this matter, so that more people can effectively interconnect the equipment together. Therefore, as long as you access these protocols and specifications of Xiaomi, you can connect with Xiaomi’s equipment. Xiaomi’s investment is only to promote and strengthen this cooperation more effectively. This is what I want to explain to you today. Xiaomi’s determination to open up has not changed. I hope everyone can understand this.

Later, we will have two special reports to introduce our whole open ecology and open agreement. Thank you again for coming to our Xiaomi Developer Conference today. Thank you!
