　　On June 24th, Ren Zhengfei, the founder of Huawei, said in an exclusive interview with the Financial Times that HSBC knew about SKYCOM and its business in Iran from the beginning, and also knew about SKYCOM’s relationship with Huawei. It is impossible for a bank to legally say that it has been cheated and doesn’t know about this matter. The evidence is all there, and this is inescapable. "HSBC has stopped all our trading cooperation, not us." Ren Zhengfei said.

　　The evidence against Meng Wanzhou in the United States is a PPT. What does Ren Zhengfei think of how the United States got this PPT? On June 27th, Ren Zhengfei said in an interview with Canada’s Globe and Mail that because Skycom had been in contact with Huawei from beginning to end during the trade with Iran, the bank knew about Skycom’s business in Iran and its relationship with Huawei. After several years of operation, they invited Meng Wanzhou to a coffee shop. When having coffee, Meng Wanzhou gave some PPT, which was not misleading. "Why did the bank take these PPT? We don’t know, I hope that after the trial of the Eastern District Court of new york is completed, we can be more clear. " Ren Zhengfei said.

　　According to the Global Times, in February this year, Reuters reported that HSBC had obtained a material for the US Department of Justice to sue Huawei through an "internal investigation", which helped the US Department of Justice Luo Zhi with the "crime" of attacking Huawei, and eventually led to the arrest of Huawei executives in Canada.

　　Shen Yi, an associate professor in the Department of International Politics of Fudan University, said that if the foreign media reports are true, the role played by HSBC in this matter is indeed very problematic. Such banks and financial institutions are unreliable and unreliable in a sense.

　　An expert who wishes to remain anonymous said that the essence of this case is that HSBC cooperated with the "long-arm jurisdiction" of the U.S. government, and transferred the personnel and data located in China overseas without the permission of the China government for the cross-border investigation and evidence collection of Huawei by the U.S. Department of Justice.

　　It is reported that HSBC is one of the largest banking and financial services institutions in the world. Founded in Hong Kong and Shanghai in 1865, HSBC is a founding member of HSBC Group and its flagship in the Asia-Pacific region. In 1991, HSBC established a new holding company — — HSBC Holdings Limited, and in 1992, it completely acquired Midland Bank. Subsequently, HSBC will be headquartered in London.

　　HSBC will pay a fine of $1.9 billion to the United States on money laundering charges. On December 11, 2012, HSBC announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the US government, and would pay a sky-high fine of $1.921 billion for the bank’s ineffective prevention of money laundering.

　　HSBC’s image has been damaged in recent years. In November 2014, HSBC was fined $618 million by the UK Financial Conduct Authority and the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission for manipulating the global foreign exchange market. In February 2015, HSBC was once again caught in a scandal because it helped customers evade taxes. According to a survey by the American Association of International Investigative Journalists, from 2005 to 2007, HSBC Switzerland Branch helped 100,000 heavyweight customers to avoid taxes and hide assets as high as hundreds of billions of dollars.

　　It is worth noting that HSBC has exposed four major incidents of leaking customer information. On April 26th, 2008, the server of Kwun Tong Branch of Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation was stolen during the renovation, and nearly 160,000 customer data were lost. In July, 2008, HSBC said that it lost an encoded digital audio tape, which recorded the telephone conversation between the bank and its customers, and was a backup tape containing 25,000 telephone conversations. On April 13, 2010, the French prosecutor said that 127,000 accounts of 79,000 customers of HSBC were leaked and exposed. Jelf farsi Yani, a former IT consultant of HSBC Private Bank, a Swiss subsidiary of HSBC, was accused of stealing the data of tens of thousands of bank customers from the end of 2006 to the beginning of 2007. In 2018, HSBC was exposed that its customer accounts were attacked from October 4 to October 14, and the personal information of about 1% American customers was leaked.

　　HSBC Bank (China) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "HSBC China") officially opened on April 2, 2007. Headquartered in Shanghai, it is a locally registered foreign-funded corporate bank wholly owned by HSBC.

　　In March this year, HSBC China Wuhan Branch violated the law and regulations by not using the specified subjects in the paper payment form. According to Article 41 of the Administrative Measures for Commercial Banks and Credit Cooperatives’ Acting Treasury Business, the Business Management Department of Wuhan Branch of the People’s Bank of China imposed a fine of RMB 1000 yuan.

　　In May this year, the post-event management of independent payment of HSBC China loan seriously violated prudent business rules, and part of credit card funds were used for non-consumption areas, which resulted in a fine of 1 million yuan.

　　Foreign media said that HSBC helped the US government "engage" Huawei in order to get rid of the crime.

　　According to the Global Times, recently, the Financial Times revealed that HSBC, which was targeted by the US Department of Justice for a series of problems such as money laundering and violation of the sanctions bill, agreed to "cooperate" with the investigation of the US Department of Justice in other cases in order to escape punishment. Huawei in China became the victim of this "cooperation", which eventually led to the arrest of Huawei executives. The Financial Times report also revealed that HSBC had explained to China earlier this year that it was "forced".

　　Regarding the role of HSBC in the case involving Huawei, Reuters, UK, had a detailed round of reports in February this year. According to Reuters’s report at that time, HSBC began to "cooperate" with the "investigation" initiated by the U.S. Department of Justice against Huawei from the end of 2016 to 2017, in exchange for the U.S. Department of Justice’s forgiveness for HSBC, because HSBC itself was involved in other cases that violated the U.S. sanctions ban.

　　Reuters said that through "internal investigation", HSBC helped the U.S. Department of Justice to obtain a material that could be used to sue Huawei, which helped the U.S. Department of Justice Luo Zhi to "accuse" Huawei, and eventually led to the arrest of Huawei executives in Canada.

　　The executive of Huawei, who is now detained by the Canadian government, communicated face to face with an executive of HSBC, saying that Huawei did not have any non-compliance and provided the HSBC executive with a PPT document to explain the situation. But what Huawei didn’t expect was that in 2017, when HSBC faced a lawsuit from the U.S. Department of Justice for its alleged illegal behavior, in exchange for forgiveness from the U.S. Department of Justice, HSBC handed over the PPT to the U.S. Department of Justice, which had been trying to bring down Huawei in the past few years, and ended its cooperative relationship with Huawei.

　　Judging from Reuters’s report and the indictment of the US government against Huawei, such a small PPT file was quickly used by the US Department of Justice as the "core" basis for suing Huawei and arresting the Huawei executive last year. HSBC has also been described by the U.S. Department of Justice as a "victim" of fraud by the Huawei executive and her PPT. Reuters also revealed that HSBC has never been sued by the US government for other cases involved.

　　The Financial Times also revealed some information that Reuters didn’t mention. For example, HSBC was targeted by the US Department of Justice as early as 2012 for laundering money for Mexican drug lords. At that time, in addition to paying a huge fine of $1.9 billion, the US Department of Justice also sent a group of "monitors" to HSBC to review its business. Insiders of HSBC said that their explanation at that time was that because the US government sent monitors to HSBC and a team of 200-400 people could get all the information of the bank at any time, it was impossible for HSBC to resist the request and investigation of the US Department of Justice.

　　Ren Zhengfei: HSBC knows about Skycom’s relationship with Huawei.

　　Recently, Huawei Heartfelt Community announced the minutes of Ren Zhengfei’s interview with the Financial Times and the Canadian Globe and Mail.

　　James Kynge, a reporter from the Financial Times, asked: Recently, hearing about the cooperation between HSBC and the US government will bring great difficulties to Huawei. What do you think of the future cooperation between Huawei and HSBC?

　　Ren Zhengfei: First of all, HSBC has long stopped its cooperation with Huawei.

　　Second, Meng Wanzhou has no criminal facts. This bank knew about SKYCOM and its business in Iran from the very beginning, and also knew about SKYCOM’s relationship with Huawei. The mail can prove that there are shipping marks in the mail, and it is impossible for the bank to legally say that it was cheated and didn’t know about this matter. The evidence is all there, which cannot be relied on. Meng Wanzhou said a word while drinking coffee in the coffee shop, which can’t be the evidence of Meng Wanzhou’s crime. It’s just that during the long-term transaction with Iran from beginning to end for many years, she intervened to have a coffee in the coffee shop and said a word, there is no crime. American courts can investigate prosecutors, who report crimes in Meng Wanzhou. Where are the facts?

　　Under the current circumstances, we should first clarify the process of Meng Wanzhou’s incident and show all the evidence. Moreover, Meng Wanzhou has not committed a crime in Canada, and Canada has violated the law in law enforcement procedures. Canada is a country ruled by law, so it should give up its violation of constitutional rights and not fall on the side of the United States. If people don’t believe that Canada is a country ruled by law, it will have a greater impact on its image.

　　We have always trusted western countries ruled by law, focusing on facts and evidence. First of all, there must be facts and evidence to judge whether this person is wrong. Of course, this will not affect our cooperation with other banks in the future. After this link is solved, everyone will still cooperate. World finance is an integrated system.

　　"Financial Times" reporter Huang Shulin asked: HSBC does not cooperate with Huawei. Did they give you an explanation?

　　Ren Zhengfei: HSBC has stopped all our trading cooperation, not us. They didn’t explain, that is, they wouldn’t provide us with services, so we would cooperate with other banks.

　　Huang Shulin: Do you think this treatment is fair? If these problems are solved, will you continue to cooperate with HSBC in the future?

　　Ren Zhengfei: There is no word "fairness" in this world. It is all about strength. We have the strength to solve the problem and don’t care how the other party treats us. Now is not the time to discuss cooperation. The most important thing is to finish the lawsuit first.

　　A reporter from Canada’s Globe and Mail asked: What do you think of how the United States got this PPT? Is it through legal channels? Do you think this PPT can be presented to the court as evidence?

　　Ren Zhengfei: Because during the trade between Skycom and Iran, this bank has been in contact with Huawei from beginning to end. It knows Skycom’s business in Iran and its relationship with Huawei. After several years of operation, they invited Meng Wanzhou to a coffee shop. When having coffee, Meng Wanzhou gave some PPT, which was not misleading. Why did the bank take these PPT away? We don’t know. I hope we can know more after the trial in new york Eastern District Court.

　　HSBC paid a fine of $1.9 billion to the United States for money laundering charges.

　　According to Xinhua News Agency, on December 11, 2012, HSBC Holdings, the largest bank in Europe, issued a statement saying that it had reached an agreement with relevant US institutions to pay a total fine of 1.921 billion US dollars, of which a record 1.256 billion was a fine for delaying prosecution agreement and 665 million was a civil fine.

　　Ou Zhihua, president of HSBC, said in a statement that HSBC "admitted responsibility for past mistakes" and once again "deeply apologized".

　　According to the deferred prosecution agreement, the prosecution allows the sued party to avoid prosecution under certain conditions, including paying a fine or being punished, and promising to make specific reforms under the supervision and guidance.

　　HSBC said it had spent $290 million to improve its money laundering prevention mechanism and recovered some bonuses previously won by senior executives. The statement also said that HSBC expects to sign a letter of commitment with the UK Financial Services Authority on money laundering soon.

　　In July, 2013, china securities journal reported that Reuters reported on the 3rd that John Grayson, a judge of Brooklyn District Court in new york, USA, approved the settlement agreement reached between HSBC and the US government on the investigation of not fully complying with the anti-money laundering and sanctions laws. According to this agreement, HSBC will pay 1.92 billion US dollars in fines and compensation. The fine of $1.92 billion is by far the largest fine issued by the US regulatory authorities to banks.

　　According to the report, in addition to paying fines, there are other conditions to be met. As part of the agreement, HSBC also needs to restrain the bonuses of bank executives in order to comply with relevant regulations. In addition, HSBC will face up to five years of court supervision.

　　Previously, in July 2012, the US Senate issued an investigation report saying that HSBC had become the "preferred financial institution" for drug dealers, money launderers and other criminals in Mexico and Colombia, and it ignored the US sanctions against Iran, Myanmar, Cuba, Libya and Sudan and illegally transferred funds for customers in these countries.

　　HSBC’s image has been damaged in recent years: helping customers evade taxes and getting caught in a scandal.

　　According to China News Service, the image of HSBC has been damaged in recent years. In November 2014, HSBC was fined $618 million by the UK Financial Conduct Authority and the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission for manipulating the global foreign exchange market.

　　In February 2015, HSBC was once again caught in a scandal because it helped customers evade taxes. According to a survey by the American Association of International Investigative Journalists, from 2005 to 2007, HSBC Switzerland Branch helped 100,000 heavyweight customers to avoid taxes and hide assets as high as hundreds of billions of dollars.

　　According to the People’s Daily, the BBC reported on February 9, 2015 that HSBC, the largest bank in the UK, has done everything possible to help wealthy depositors hide their real assets from the British government in the past few years, with tax evasion amounting to hundreds of millions of pounds. Analysts pointed out that if acts such as helping depositors evade taxes are proved to be true, then HSBC will become a terrible "tax haven" and its reputation and prestige will be dealt a heavy blow.

　　Some analysts believe that the lack of financial supervision, the decline of professional ethics and the numbness of social responsibility are several key factors that cannot be ignored.

　　HSBC’s alleged behavior of helping depositors evade taxes has been strongly criticized by the media and public opinion. Brooks, the author of "Tax Robbery", pointed out, "I think HSBC is a tax avoidance and tax evasion company, and I think they are providing such services".

　　Since then, Guangming Daily reported on February 26, 2015 that two top executives of HSBC recently apologized here for the "improper" practice of their Swiss private banks to help customers avoid taxes. Stuart Gulliver, CEO of HSBC Group, and Douglas Flint, Chairman of HSBC Group, said when questioned by the Parliamentary Finance Committee in the British Parliament that this move damaged people’s "trust and confidence" in HSBC Group, and he was ashamed of it and would "take corresponding responsibility". However, he also accused those in the management of HSBC Swiss Bank who stole and leaked customer information of "great sin".

　　HSBC has exposed four major incidents of leaking customer information. Engineers turned into "data thieves"

　　According to Southern Metropolis Daily, on April 26th, 2008, the server of Kwun Tong Branch of Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation was stolen, and nearly 160,000 customer data were lost. Under the pressure of public opinion, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority requires banks to take remedial measures and submit detailed reports. Zheng Haiquan, chairman of HSBC Asia Pacific, apologized for the loss of customer information, but he said that it was a theft and HSBC itself was a victim, but the bank would still be responsible. Zheng Haiquan said that he would review the bank’s security measures.

　　According to Economic Observer, on July 4, 2008, HSBC issued a notice and found that it had lost an encoded digital audio tape, which recorded the telephone conversation between the bank and its customers. According to reports, the incident originated from the service center of HSBC Guangzhou Group. On June 17, the courier company was entrusted to transport a total of 55 tapes to Hong Kong, but only 54 tapes were delivered to the Hong Kong office of the bank. The unrecovered audio tape is a backup tape containing 25,000 telephone conversations, which recorded the telephone conversations between the bank and customers and callers from April 18 to 24, 2008. Most of the contents involved credit card service inquiries, calls related to business online wealth management services for industrial and commercial customers, and calls made by the bank to customers.

　　According to Agence France-Presse, on April 13, 2010, the French prosecutor said that 127,000 accounts of 79,000 customers of HSBC were leaked and exposed, which means that more people may be prosecuted by the tax bureau of their own country for alleged tax evasion. Jelf farsi Yani, a former IT consultant of HSBC Private Bank, a Swiss subsidiary of HSBC, was accused of stealing the data of tens of thousands of bank customers from the end of 2006 to the beginning of 2007.

　　Jelf Fasiani changed from a security engineer to a "data thief". He was born in Monaco and has a degree in computer programming. In 2000, at the age of 28, he entered the IT department of HSBC and wrote security software for the bank. Six years later, he was transferred to the Geneva headquarters of HSBC Private Bank in Switzerland, responsible for the system security of the database. In 2008, this system security engineer, who has always performed well, unexpectedly "ran away" from the headquarters building of HSBC with 130,000 "top secret" customer information. In 2013, according to Jinling Evening News, at the trial of Spanish National Court in 2013, Jelf Fasiani defended himself, saying that banks were corrupt, and they condoned tax evasion, and sometimes even helped customers to launder money. He admitted that he had tried to expose HSBC’s "misconduct" to the Swiss government.

　　Jelf Fasiani told the media, "I grew up in Monaco, where people wanted to work in financial institutions. When I was young, I thought that banks were places to protect the property of the upright. But at HSBC, I found that everything is completely another matter. "

　　In November 2018, according to the China Business News, it was revealed that HSBC’s customer accounts were attacked from October 4 to October 14, and the personal information of about 1% American customers was leaked. According to foreign media reports, on November 8, HSBC announced that its customer accounts were attacked from October 4 to October 14, and about 1% of American customers’ names, birth dates, telephone numbers, email addresses and other information were leaked. According to HSBC, the hacking incident was caused by a login voucher attack, that is, hackers invaded HSBC accounts through personal information of customers obtained from other sources. In response, HSBC suspended online access to some accounts. At the same time, additional security protection is added to the authentication process of personal online banking platform to protect its customers from future attacks.

On November 20, Xiaomi handed over the first performance answer sheet after announcing the strategy of "people, cars and homes are all ecological".

In the third quarter of 2023, Xiaomi Group’s revenue was 70.9 billion yuan, achieving the first year-on-year growth in six quarters. The adjusted net profit was 6 billion yuan, up 182.9% year-on-year, setting a new high in the past two years.

The business strategy of "paying equal attention to scale and profit" has continued to land, and the high-end has made steady progress, making Xiaomi the first to pick up in the consumer electronics industry. With the announcement of the new strategy of "people, cars and homes are all ecological", Xiaomi is entering a new stage of development.

After six quarters, it returned to growth and the gross profit margin reached a new high.

The operating performance of Xiaomi in the third quarter continued the momentum of continuous recovery since 2023.

In terms of revenue, Xiaomi’s revenue in the third quarter was 70.9 billion yuan, a slight increase of 0.6% year-on-year and 5.3% quarter-on-quarter, and it resumed growth for the first time in six quarters. In terms of profitability, the adjusted net profit in the third quarter reached 6 billion yuan, up 182.9% year-on-year, and the gross profit margin reached 22.7%, which increased for four consecutive quarters and reached a new high.

The business strategy of "paying equal attention to scale and profit" put forward by Xiaomi at the beginning of the year has been further implemented. In addition to the Group’s record high gross profit margin, the gross profit margin of all business segments has also maintained growth. Among them, the gross profit margin of smartphone business reached 16.6%, up 7.7 percentage points year-on-year, the gross profit margin of IoT and consumer products business reached 17.8%, up 4.3 percentage points year-on-year, and the gross profit margin of Internet business reached 74.4%, up 2.3 percentage points year-on-year.

While improving profitability, Xiaomi’s shipments and user scale have also grown steadily.

On the mobile phone side, with the slowdown in the global smartphone market, Xiaomi took the lead in picking up. According to market research firm Canalys, the shipment of millet in the third quarter of 2023 increased by 2% year-on-year, and its market share was the same as that of the same period last year. In Chinese mainland, Europe, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and other major markets, the market share of Xiaomi smartphones has increased.

In terms of household appliances and IoT products, the market size of Xiaomi has also steadily increased. According to data from Aowei Cloud, Xiaomi TV ranked first in Chinese mainland in the third quarter, and refrigerator shipments also increased by 95%. Canalys data shows that in the third quarter, the shipment of millet flat products increased by 120% year-on-year, and entered the top five in the world for the first time.

The extensive layout of the global market has enabled the scale of Xiaomi’s Internet business to continue to grow. In the third quarter, the number of monthly active users of MIUI worldwide reached 623 million, up 10.5% year-on-year, and the income from Internet business reached 7.8 billion yuan, a record high, up 9.7% year-on-year. In particular, Xiaomi’s overseas Internet business income reached 2.3 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 35.8%, and its share in Internet business income increased to 30%.

The high-end capability has stabilized, and the sales volume of Xiaomi 14 series has reached a record.

The recovery of performance and the improvement of profitability are closely related to the progress made in Xiaomi’s high-end strategy.

One week before the financial report was released, Xiaomi announced in the official Weibo that the omni-channel payment amount of "double 11" Xiaomi reached a new high of 22.4 billion in 2023. Goldman Sachs pointed out in a research report that Xiaomi Double 11GMV increased by 32% year-on-year, thanks to the strong performance of Xiaomi 14 series, comprehensive product portfolio and rising average selling price.

As the latest high-end model of Xiaomi, the performance of Xiaomi 14 series is really surprising. During the period of double 11, Xiaomi 14 ranked first among domestic mobile phone brands in the price range of 4,000-6,000 yuan in JD.COM and Pinduoduo, and also took the lead in domestic mobile phone sales in Tmall and Tik Tok. Information from the supply chain shows that since the first sale, the sales volume of Xiaomi 14 series has reached 1,447,400 units within 10 days, setting a sales record for Xiaomi’s high-end flagship.

Since the launch of Xiaomi 12S series in July 2022, Xiaomi’s performance in the high-end market has become more and more stable.

In terms of word-of-mouth, six series of high-end models, such as Xiaomi 12S Ultra, Xiaomi MIX Fold2, Xiaomi 13 Series, Xiaomi 13Ultra, Xiaomi MIX Fold3 and Xiaomi 14 Series, all achieved a favorable rating of over 99% on the JD.COM platform in the first month of release. In terms of sales volume, third-party data show that in the second quarter of 2023, the proportion of Xiaomi’s shipments in the smart phone market of 3,000 yuan and above in Chinese mainland increased to 20.1%, which increased year-on-year for four consecutive quarters. The market share in the price segment of 4,000-6,000 yuan increased by 6.2 percentage points year-on-year to 12.7%, and the smartphone ASP in Chinese mainland increased by over 24% year-on-year.

While the high-end market continues to break through, Xiaomi’s R&D and innovation capabilities continue to improve. Taking Xiaomi 14 series as an example, the core components such as image sensors and screens are all equipped with products independently developed by Xiaomi and jointly developed with domestic supply chains, and the parameters and experience have reached or even exceeded the iPhone15Pro.

For example, the "Light Hunter 900" image sensor, which debuted for the first time, has a specification of 1/1.3 inch. From the actual performance, the light input of Xiaomi 14 is 20% higher than that of iPhone 15 Pro, and Xiaomi 14 Pro is 52% higher. On the screen side, the C8 material jointly developed by Xiaomi and Huaxing Optoelectronics has achieved the highest peak brightness of 3000nit in the industry. On Xiaomi 14Pro, Xiaomi also adopted the first full-depth micro-curved screen, which realized the continuous same bending radius at four sides and four corners, making the curved screen visually close to the straight screen.

R&D and innovation have created a better user experience for high-end products. With the help of Xiaomi 14 series, the share of Xiaomi in China smart phone market reached 21.9% in 2023W44(10.30-11.5), ranking the highest among domestic mobile phones.

The strong market performance of high-end machines has provided more ammunition for research and development. Such a virtuous circle has continuously consolidated the base of Xiaomi’s high-end strategy. In 2022, Xiaomi invested 16.2 billion yuan in R&D, equivalent to 0.53% of the total investment in R&D in China. According to the data disclosed in the financial report, in the third quarter of 2023, Xiaomi’s R&D expenditure was 5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 22%. By September 30, 2023, Xiaomi had 17,563 R&D personnel, accounting for over 53%.

With the development of ecology, the territory of "people, cars and homes are all ecological" is formed.

While the high-end capability has stabilized, the ecological map of Xiaomi has also been expanding. According to the financial report data, as of September 2023, the number of IoT devices (excluding smartphones, tablets and laptops) connected to Xiaomi AIoT platform reached 699 million, up 25.2% year-on-year, and the number of monthly users of Mijia APP increased by 16% year-on-year, reaching 84 million.

With the release of Xiaomi 澎湃 OS in October, Xiaomi’s group strategy was officially upgraded to "the whole ecology of people and cars". Thanks to the long-term deep cultivation in the field of mobile phones and IoT, Xiaomi 澎湃 OS has integrated more than 200 categories, covered more than 95% of life scenes and connected 820 million devices since its birth, becoming the first operating system covering "the whole ecology of people, cars and homes".

Subsequently, Xiaomi announced the comprehensive opening-up plan of IoT eco-partners, and helped smart eco-partners, whole-house industry practitioners and individual developers to quickly join Xiaomi’s IoT ecosystem through Vela open source and the release of Xiaomi’s surging technology brands. At present, there are more than 9,000 Xiaomi IoT partners.

On October 15th, two products of Xiaomi Automobile appeared in the Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products (the 377th batch) issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. According to the plan, Xiaomi Automobile will be mass-produced in the first half of 2024. This also means that Xiaomi’s "all-ecological" map is infinitely close to the closed loop.

The upgrade from "mobile phone X AIoT" to "the whole ecology of people, cars and homes" means that Xiaomi’s coverage of users’ life scenes is further improved. In Xiaomi’s ecological map, the mobile phone is still the central device and computing center of the whole scene in series, and Xiaomi 澎湃 OS ensures the cross-end connectivity and experience consistency. As Lei Jun, founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi Group, said, it will be "the public base of the Internet of Everything".

The capital market responded positively to the new blueprint described by Xiaomi. Since October, Xiaomi’s share price has rebounded strongly, up about 50% from the beginning of the year.

　　Print shops in colleges and universities hoard hundreds of pirated textbooks.

　　College textbooks are priced higher, and students can save half the money by buying photocopied textbooks. Copy shops have become the focus of many publishers’ rights protection.

　　In February, the National Office for Combating Pornography and Illegal Publications, in conjunction with five departments, issued the Notice on Launching Special Governance Actions for Universities and Their Surrounding Copy Stores in Some Key Cities, requiring 40 key cities across the country to severely crack down on piracy and copy activities in universities and their surrounding copy shops, so as to curb the growing trend of campus piracy. Beijing, where universities gather, has also been included in the list of special governance this year.

　　What are the reasons for the widespread popularity of copying teaching materials? Beijing Youth Daily reporter recently visited copying shops around many universities in Beijing, and found that most shops are still openly undertaking the business of "privately customized" copying teaching materials, and even some shops have hundreds of electronic textbooks in their computers, and the "class" group buying business has been raging. Because of the hidden operation of the store, the difficulty in obtaining evidence and the unclear legal boundary, the business activities of the copy shops around the university are still on the verge of supervision.

　　Copy shops hoard "group purchase" electronic textbooks, and the business is booming.

　　On the morning of March 10th, the reporter of Beiqing Daily came to the printing shop in a comprehensive service center for college students and said, "Boss, a group of postgraduate students want to copy and print some textbooks." Without asking what the book was, the shopkeeper promised, "Just bring the book. If there is no book, it is ok to have an electronic version, a Word file or a Pdf file. 2 cents per page, 1 cent if there is more — — They are all bound for you. "

　　Only one of the photocopiers and printers in this shop is working. "I was very busy when I first started school, but I am already busy now." The owner said. The reporter of Beiqing Daily saw that there were three "teaching materials" printed and bound on A4 paper on the windowsill, namely "Latest English Course for Science and Technology", "Information Systems Essentials" and "Liu Wei IELTS Speaking". The second book is in English, and the inside page shows that it was edited and published by an American university; The third book is actually a handout from an English training institution in China. The owner told the reporter that these three books were printed by students before, "I made an extra copy and put it here for whom."

　　The reporter of Beiqing Daily visited the copy shops around many universities in Haidian, which are mostly distributed near the canteens and teaching buildings in the student living quarters. On average, there are at least six or seven print shops in a school. Most of the small shops are only three or four square meters. When it comes to recess and rest, the small shops are packed with students coming and going, and there are many students who come to copy the teaching materials. The reporter looked at it, and some copied textbooks, and some copied Chinese and foreign reference books borrowed from the library. Upon reporter’s inquiry, these stores can undertake the business of copying teaching materials. Most of them are printed on both sides at a price of 10 cents each, bound in 2 yuan, with 4-5 cents for double-sided copying and 10 cents for single-sided copying. If the quantity is large, you can get a discount. If you want to install the cover, you can add 2 yuan. There are also price concessions for large quantities.

　　In a copy shop of another university, a big red advertisement of "Printing and Copying Textbooks" is posted at the door, and a bibliography of university public courses such as "15-year history outline, military theory, comprehensive English listening and speaking, advanced B (Part II)" is also posted on the wall. There is Yin Gao, a half-meter-high semi-finished English pronunciation practice manual for freshmen, beside the printer, and there is "Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press" on the copyright page. The staff admitted that this is a "list" for class group purchase. "You should make a list, write down the title of the book to be printed, and then indicate how many copies of each book to print, and then write down your name and contact number, so that we won’t make a mistake — — This is what other classes do. "

　　Pointing to a stack of blue-covered photocopied "teaching materials", the store owner said that these are the best-selling teaching materials posted on the wall, and there are more than a dozen books that have not been sold out in batch print this school season. "When business is good, hundreds of people come to the store to queue up to buy textbooks every day, and many of them send class cadres to buy them. In order to save time, the commonly used textbooks and teaching materials are simply scanned into electronic versions for printing and copying. " When the reporter of Beiqing Daily asked if it was possible to copy the History of China News Communication, the store readily turned on the computer to help search for the electronic version of the book. The folder named "Customer Information" contained hundreds of electronic versions of teaching materials, mostly PDF-based. "The reason why our store is popular is also because the public courses and professional books are complete."

　　In the survey, most of the staff of various printing shops said that they had not heard of the policy news to be inspected in the near future for the time being. "The business of copying books has been done for many years, and I have never heard of it." A student from a university in Beijing told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that in the past, the print shop in the school would sell some printed textbooks to students at the beginning of the school year, but since last semester, this phenomenon has been "rare". Some shopkeepers also responded that if students bring books or electronic books to the store for copying, they will print them as required and stop selling them in batches because "hoarding goods is easy to lose money".

　　survey

　　Student: Buying a copy of a textbook can save more than half of the money compared with a new book.

　　The students interviewed at random explained the reasons for the popularity of copying textbooks. On the one hand, except for higher vocational colleges and private colleges, many colleges and universities in Beijing do not uniformly subscribe for textbooks when freshmen enter school, and students have the initiative to buy textbooks themselves. On the other hand, books bought from printing shops are cheaper than genuine new books, and the printing quality is good, so copying textbooks is naturally favored by everyone. The pirated books in these print shops will be more popular if there are notes left by previous students.

　　"Some original textbooks are too expensive. If you buy a printed version from a print shop, it will generally cost more than 10 yuan; Moreover, some books have the key points drawn by seniors and sisters, and you can help yourself review them before the exam. I feel that buying such books is quite cost-effective. " A student who has purchased printed textbooks many times told the reporter of Beiqing Daily.

　　Take the textbook History of Journalism and Communication in China published by Renmin University of China Press, which has 404 pages and is priced at 45 yuan. If you copy at the price of 5 cents a page in the store, a copy of teaching materials can save more than half of the money than buying new books. According to the rough statistics of the reporter of Beiqing Daily, after four years of undergraduate study, if dozens of specialized course textbooks are copied, a student can save nearly 1,000 yuan in textbook purchase fees.

　　Print shop: The monthly income from copying textbooks is nearly 10,000.

　　According to reports, last spring, the Higher Education Society visited 27 colleges and universities in 7 provincial capital cities and the surrounding copy shops, and found that most of the business of these copy shops thought that students copied books. Not only that, these stores will scan public course books, professional course books and best-selling books according to the curriculum and examination time, archive the electronic files of the copied books, provide students with optional bibliographies for copying, and bind them into books after output as needed, forming an industrial chain of "arranging", printing and loading. This leads to another question: how much profit can the business of copying teaching materials in university print shops bring to businesses? Take "Introduction to Mao Zedong Thought and Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s Theoretical System (Revised Edition 2010)" published by Higher Education Press as an example. The text of this book has 398 pages, 25 prints, and the price is 23 yuan, with an average of 0.92 yuan/print. According to the calculation of 4 page numbers of each copy in the copy shop, the whole volume is copied at 0.05 yuan/face, and the price of the whole book is 10 yuan, which is equivalent to 4.4 fold of the genuine price. Excluding the cost of manpower, consumables and rent, the actual profit of each textbook can be maintained around 3 yuan by copying a single textbook.

　　During the visit, many stores in Haidian also revealed to the reporter of Beiqing Daily that in addition to receiving copying orders on campus, they will also solicit batch copying services from other universities and teaching units through QQ online. A staff member of a copy shop explained, "There are also some customers from middle schools, educational institutions and even trans-regions who come to us to print teaching AIDS. The monthly income from copying textbooks alone is almost 10,000. "

　　core

　　Teaching materials are necessities, and market-oriented pricing is difficult for students.

　　It has been suggested that the high price of university textbooks is an important reason for the prosperity of campus copy managers. So, is the pricing of genuine university textbooks reasonable? The reporter of Beiqing Daily browsed the prices of some textbooks in Tsinghua University Textbook Center, and found that few textbooks are below 20 yuan, most of which are priced between 20 yuan and 50 yuan, and some are above 50 yuan. The staff of a famous university publishing house in Haidian responded, "The university textbooks in China are not expensive. The price of a 300-page textbook with ordinary binding is almost 20-30 yuan. Compared with the pricing of hundreds of RMB in foreign university textbooks, this price is really not expensive."

　　He also said that the publishing house had received complaints from university professors, saying that many students took copies of textbooks in class, and the textbooks in this class were written by themselves. "If all students use photocopied textbooks, the hard work of the editors will not be respected, let alone protect their legitimate rights and interests."

　　However, college students have another feeling about whether textbooks are expensive. Compared with primary and secondary school textbooks priced by the government, university textbooks, which are also necessities, are much more expensive. The reporter of Beiqing Daily searched online for the price of a complete set of textbooks (color version) of compulsory mathematics in senior high school. There are five books in this set, covering three years in senior high school, and the total price is 42.3 yuan. However, the price of college students majoring in mathematics and statistics who only buy the genuine textbooks of advanced mathematics has surpassed that of 80 yuan, nearly twice as high. Compared with senior high schools, there are many specialized courses and public compulsory courses in universities, and there are usually twenty or thirty courses in a four-year academic system. The interviewed engineering junior boys told reporters that the cost of ordering new textbooks in the first school year spent 800 yuan. "When we first went to college, we all bought new textbooks, which was really much more expensive than high school. Later, when we were sophomore and junior, we bought second-hand books from our brothers and sisters." However, because many graduates still want to keep professional books, the second-hand teaching materials they can buy are usually limited to public courses such as politics and English, so copying teaching materials has become the way for the students and classmates to buy.

　　Copying teaching materials is still in the marginal zone of supervision

　　In order to further clarify the supervision status of print shops in colleges and universities, the reporter of Beiqing Daily recently called the Legal Supervision Office of Beijing Cultural Law Enforcement Corps and asked whether "copying and selling textbooks in large quantities on campus is within its supervision scope". The staff said that the cultural administrative law enforcement department has conditions for filing a case, and we will not intervene before filing a case. "As you have reflected, it is necessary to analyze the specific situation. There is no certain amount and scale of reprinting and conclusive sales evidence. Generally, the copyright owner and the publishing house come forward to negotiate with the copy shop. When talking about the conditions for filing a case, she also said that the first is to confirm the infringement, and the second is to violate the public interest. For example, piracy and reprinting violate the relevant national laws and regulations.

　　What attitude does the school take towards the printing shop’s copying of teaching materials? The teacher of the Logistics Department of a science and engineering college in Haidian replied that most of these print shops in the school are self-operated and only rent the school place, and the Logistics Department often reminds the print shop owners to abide by relevant laws and regulations to prevent them from pirating and selling books in batches. "The school will continue to work hard in this regard. On the one hand, it will strengthen the management of print shops on campus, and on the other hand, it will remind students to use formal textbooks and consciously resist piracy." The staff said.

　　The reporter of Beiqing Daily also learned from the anti-piracy alliance of Beijing 15th Society that the copy shops around the campus have become the focus of many publishers’ rights protection. However, in their daily work, they found that there are also "blind spots" in the handling of infringement of copy shops. For example, most copy shops only copy the text of books, and when binding, they are accompanied by a cover that only prints the title of the book, omitting the publishing unit, author and trademark of the original book. Even if law enforcement officers find the copied finished products, there is no way to obtain the copyright information of the copies to clarify the infringed objects. Secondly, the owner of the copy shop is very vigilant, and generally does not put a large number of copied finished products on the counter, which makes it very difficult for the right holder to defend his rights and the law enforcement department to investigate and deal with it.

　　Experts say

　　Copying officially published books and selling them constitute infringement.

　　Does it constitute infringement for students to copy textbooks in batches and other officially published books and buy pirated books in copy shops? What kind of tort liability should a copy shop bear if it infringes? In this regard, the reporter of Beiqing Daily interviewed Zhao Zhanling, a special researcher at the Intellectual Property Center of China University of Political Science and Law.

　　Zhao Zhanling said that the Copyright Law stipulates that "translating or copying a few published works for school classroom teaching or scientific research for teaching or scientific research, but not publishing and distributing" belongs to the category of fair use, and copying textbooks and other books by students and teachers for personal study and research purposes does not constitute infringement, nor does a copy shop. However, if a copy shop copies books by itself and sells them to customers for profit, it constitutes infringement.

　　How many copies of a book constitute infringement? In Zhao Zhanling’s view, although there is no specific provision in the Copyright Law, as long as a printing shop copies books for profit, it constitutes infringement, which has nothing to do with the amount of copying. Zhao Zhanling also said that whether copying paper books or printing electronic versions of books such as Word and PDF, as long as they are printed, this constitutes infringement.

　　Regarding the legal responsibility that the printing shop should bear, Zhao Zhanling said that this constitutes a civil infringement, and the copy shop should stop the infringement and compensate the obligee for the losses if it has the above acts. "The copy shop is a self-employed small shop, and it is difficult to determine how much loss has been caused by the obligee, but it can be compensated according to the income from infringement." Zhao Zhanling believes that because the books copied by the printing shops are scattered, it is difficult for publishers and authors to give evidence when defending their rights, which makes publishers and authors not pursue this in law too much.

　　Zhao Zhanling also suggested that the internal managers of colleges and universities can take relevant measures to manage the copy shops on campus, and students should also enhance their legal awareness, and only use the copied books for their own study and not sell them externally.

Last week and this week’s market trading hotspots mainly focused on Huawei’s industrial chain, new industrialization and diet pills:

Huawei industrial chain

AITO asked the world that the new M7 order exceeded 50,000, and the blind order of M9 exceeded 8,000 units.Since the release of the new M7, Huawei has frequently announced the number of its large orders. On September 25th, the new M7 was listed less than two weeks ago, with more than 20,000 units scheduled. The total scheduled amount in September is 30,000 units; By October 6, the listing time was more than three weeks, and the total number of scheduled units exceeded 50,000. Among them, 7,000 units were scheduled on October 6, and the number of single-day bookings reached a new high. While creating strong sales potential, the new M7 in the world of inquiry is also affecting the positioning of the "flagship SUV of panoramic wisdom". Since the blind booking was started on September 25th, the M9 in the world of inquiry with a pre-sale price of 500,000-600,000 yuan has won a large number of orders with only a few renderings and a small amount of configuration information. According to Yu Chengdong, as of October 7th, the customer M9 had accumulated 10,450 blind orders and retained 8,040 orders. On that day, 333 units were blindly ordered, 26 units were unsubscribed and 307 units were blindly ordered.

"One second and one kilometer", Huawei’s fully liquid-cooled overcharge station was launched.According to WeChat official account, the official WeChat of Huawei, during the National Day, the overload stations in Tianquan Service Area, Litang Kangnan Tourism Distribution Center and Sangdui Service Area along the southern Sichuan-Tibet line and Litang-Aden Highway (Sichuan section) built with the help of Huawei digital energy were officially launched. The fully liquid-cooled overcharge station launched this time has achieved the following three advantages: 1) faster charging, "one kilometer per second"; 2) The equipment has high reliability and long service life; 3) Match all models, and charge them as soon as they arrive.

new industrialization

New industrialization is the interpretation and foothold of new quality productivity. With the previous high-end manufacturing policies, the subsequent interpretation is worthy of attention.From the overall framework, it covers the previous 45 advanced manufacturing clusters. From the classification of advanced manufacturing clusters, among the 45 national clusters, there are 13 in the field of new generation information technology, 13 in the field of high-end equipment, 7 in the field of new materials, 5 in the field of biomedicine and high-end medical devices, 4 in the field of consumer goods, and 3 in the field of new energy and intelligent networked automobiles.Combined with the current market, it is suggested to pay attention to investment opportunities in the fields of information technology, high-end equipment and intelligent networked automobiles. In terms of breakdown, we should pay attention to robots, data elements and automobile intelligence that have made breakthroughs in recent industrial trends.

obesity drug

Sales are expected to increase, boosting the concept stocks of diet pills.JPMorgan Chase has raised its sales forecast for diet pills. It is predicted that by 2030, under the control of the duopoly of Novo Nordisk and Lilly Pharmaceuticals, the annual sales of GLP-1 receptor agonist-related drugs will exceed $100 billion. At the same time, JPMorgan Chase also predicted that the market size of weight-loss drugs in China is expected to reach $14.9 billion in 2030. According to the article "Prevalence of Obesity and Related Complications in China: A Cross-sectional Real World Study of 15.8 million Adults", according to the BMI classification standard of overweight and obesity in China, 34.8% of the 15.8 million adult subjects are overweight and 14.1% are obese. With the increase in the number of obese people and the enhancement of residents’ awareness of weight management, there is huge room for the development of diet pills market, and related R&D and pharmaceutical companies are expected to usher in a boost in valuation and a release of performance.

3, theme and industry trend changes

(1) New energy vehicles: The sales volume of domestic new energy vehicle enterprises increased in September, and the new M7 orders from AITO exceeded 50,000.

In September, the sales of domestic new energy vehicles rose, and some car companies delivered a new high monthly.

Since October, a number of new energy vehicle companies have disclosed their sales in September.Specifically, BYD Auto delivered 287,454 vehicles in September, up 42.8% year-on-year and 4.76% quarter-on-quarter. Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an delivered 51,596 vehicles in September, up 72% year-on-year and 14.59% quarter-on-quarter. Ideally, 36,060 vehicles will be delivered in September, up 212.7% year-on-year and 3.28% quarter-on-quarter. Deep blue delivered 17,370 vehicles in September, an increase of 17.87% from the previous month; Zero run delivered 15,800 vehicles in September, up 43.13% year-on-year and 11.35% quarter-on-quarter; Weilai delivered 15,641 vehicles in September, up 43.8% year-on-year and down 19.08% month-on-month; Tucki delivered 15,310 vehicles in September, up 81% year-on-year and 12% quarter-on-quarter.

From the overall sales volume, BYD showed a leading position with a monthly sales of nearly 290,000 vehicles, and its sales volume exceeded the sum of the sales of the last 15 car companies; Gac ean delivered 51,596 vehicles in a single month.Refresh your highest monthly sales again,Monthly sales exceeded 50,000 vehicles for the first time; Ideal September sales exceeded 36,000 vehicles, up 212.7% year-on-year.Create a new high in monthly delivery.Deep Blue Auto surpassed the old and new car companies such as Zero Run, Weilai, Tucki, etc., which ranked ideal, and delivered 17,370 vehicles in September. In addition, the delivery volume of Nezha cars in September has been obviously weak, although it increased by 9.15% month-on-month, but it decreased by 26.63% year-on-year to 13,211 vehicles. On a month-on-month basis, the sales volume of GAC Ai ‘an in September was nearly 15% month-on-month, maintaining a steady growth trend. It is worth noting that Great Wall Motor’s new energy sales increased by 111.23% year-on-year, but decreased by 87.14% month-on-month. In September, the sales volume of new energy vehicles dropped significantly compared with that in August. In addition, the delivery volume of Weilai in September decreased by 19.08% from the previous month to 15,641 vehicles, and the monthly delivery volume declined for the second consecutive month.

Aito asked the world that the new M7 order exceeded 50,000, and the blind order of M9 exceeded 8,000 units.

AITO’s new M7 was released and listed on September 12th. This model is a model of Huawei’s intelligent car selection mode, and it has been significantly improved in terms of intelligent driving, body hardware and cost performance, and it is very popular after listing. Since the release of the new M7, Huawei has frequently announced its large order quantity. On September 25th, the new M7 was launched less than two weeks ago, and more than 20,000 sets were scheduled. The total scheduled amount in September is 30,000 units;By October 6, the listing time was more than three weeks, and the total number of scheduled units exceeded 50,000. Among them, 7,000 units were scheduled on October 6, and the number of single-day bookings reached a new high.

The hot sales of the new M7 in the world of inquiry ushered in a turning point after several months of low sales.Previously, as of August 30, 2023, the cumulative sales volume of the Wenjie series this year was only 35,200 units. In terms of product strength, the new M7 in Wenjie focuses on making up the missing items of the old M7, such as high-level intelligent assisted driving ability.The new M7 is equipped with HUAWEI ADS 2.0 advanced intelligent driving system, 27 sensing hardware, HarmonyOS intelligent cockpit, HUAWEI DATSTM 2.0 upgrade, HUAWEI DriveONE extended-range electric drive platform, etc.The rapid increase in the number of new M7 terminals in the world has certainly promoted the number of shops and test drives during the Mid-Autumn National Day holiday, but it still reflects the objective fact that the popularity of new M7 terminals in the world is gradually expanding. The new M7 has boosted Huawei’s BU business in terms of market realization, and its single product pulling effect has been greater than that of the previously released M7, M5 and M5 EV.

While creating strong sales potential, the new M7 in the world of inquiry also affects the M9 in positioning the "flagship SUV of panoramic wisdom".Since the blind subscription was started on September 25th, the pre-sale price of 500,000-600,000 yuan has won a large number of orders with only a few renderings and a small amount of configuration information. According to Yu Chengdong, as of October 7th, the customer M9 had accumulated 10,450 blind orders and retained 8,040 orders. On that day, 333 units were blindly ordered, 26 units were unsubscribed and 307 units were blindly ordered. "The momentum is still too strong, and the delivery volume next year must be made up, with a positive mass supply as the plan guarantee."

Tesla delivered 435,000 units in the third quarter to a new high, and Tesla Model 3/Y America continued to cut prices.

Tesla delivered digital release in the third quarter, with 435,000 units reaching a new high.On October 3rd, Tesla released the third quarter production and delivery report. In the third quarter of 2023, Tesla produced a total of 430,488 electric vehicles worldwide, an increase of about 18% year-on-year. 435,059 electric vehicles were delivered, a year-on-year increase of about 27%. Among them, the output of Model S and Model X models is 13,688, and the delivery volume is 15,985; The output of Model 3 and Model Y is 416,800 vehicles, and the delivery volume is 419,074 vehicles. In the third quarter, Tesla’s production decreased by 10.3% month-on-month, which is the first quarter of this year when demand exceeds supply. At the same time, Tesla officially said that the delivery target in 2023 will remain unchanged at 1.8 million units. This means that if the delivery volume in the third quarter is less than expected, Tesla will deliver nearly 476,000 vehicles in the fourth quarter to achieve this goal. Under the price reduction, Tesla is expected to continue to hit the year-end delivery target.

Tesla lowered the price of American models.On October 6, Tesla officially announced the price reduction of some models, of which the Model 3 rear-wheel drive version dropped from $40,240 to $38,990; The long-life version dropped from $47,240 to $45,990; The high-performance version was reduced from $53,240 to $50,990. At the same time, the Model Y long-life version dropped from $50,490 to $48,490; The performance version was reduced from $54,490 to $52,490.

(2) Artificial Intelligence & Robot: Google launched RT-X, one of the largest universal models in the world, and opened the training data set.

Based on the Open X-Embodiment training set, Google DeepMind launched the universal big model RT-X.On October 4th, DeepMind, a well-known AI research institution under Google, released RT-X, one of the largest universal large models in the world, and opened the training data set Open X-Embodiment. In order to build a variety of data sets to train a general model, and then control the training of many different kinds of robots, Google DeepMind cooperated with academic research laboratories of 33 institutions to build an Open X-Embodiment data set. They collected data from 22 different robot types, covering more than 1 million segments, showing more than 500 skills of robots and their performance on 150,000 tasks. This data set is the most comprehensive robot data set of its kind. Based on Open X-Embodiment data set, DeepMind trained more powerful RT-X on the basis of models RT-1 and RT-2, corresponding to RT-1-X and RT-2-X respectively. The experimental results show that the average performance of RT-1-X trained with Open X-Embodiment dataset is 50% better than that of the original model (RT-1). In mastering new skills, the success rate of RT-2-X is three times that of its previous best model RT-2. RT-2-X shows that under the premise of using a sufficiently high-capacity architecture,Combining the data of other robots with RT-2-X training can improve the task execution range of robots.

Data sets and models based on data set training have played a key role in promoting AI progress, and Open X-Embodiment data sets will promote the development of robotics.At present, the Open X-Embodiment data set and the RT-1-X model checkpoint have been opened to a wide range of research communities. DeepMind’s new research shows that it is possible to develop more useful auxiliary robots by using more diverse data and better models for extended learning. It is very important to cooperate with laboratories around the world and share resources to promote robot research in an open and responsible way. The future of robotics depends on the mutual learning between robots, and the most important thing is the mutual learning between researchers.DeepMind’s research proves that the model can be used in different environments, and its performance has been significantly improved both on DeepMind’s robots and on robots from different universities around the world.

Liquid-cooled overcharge: "one second and one kilometer", Huawei all-liquid-cooled overcharge station goes online.

(2) The potential impact on computing power, transportation capacity, storage and application of the Action Plan for High-quality Development of Computing Infrastructure jointly issued by six departments.

On October 9, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments jointly issued the "Action Plan for High-quality Development of Computing Infrastructure", which proposed quantitative indicators for development by 2025 from four aspects: computing power, carrying capacity, storage capacity and application empowerment. Specifically, in terms of computing power,Computational power scaleOver 300EFLOPS, the proportion of intelligent computing power reaches 35%, and the computing power of the east and the west develops in a balanced and coordinated way.Storage capacityThe total storage capacity exceeds 1800EB, and the advanced storage capacity accounts for more than 30%.Carrying capacity, the national hub node data center clusters basically realize direct network transmission not higher than 1.5 times the theoretical delay, the coverage rate of OTN in key application sites reaches 80%, the backbone network and metropolitan area network fully support IPv6, and the use of new technologies such as SRv6 accounts for 40%.Application empowerment, around the industry, finance, medical care, transportation, energy, education and other key areas, each to create more than 30 application benchmarks.

Computing power: the scale of computing power exceeds 300 EFLOPS, and the proportion of intelligent computing power reaches 35%.

In terms of computing power, the Action Plan proposes that by 2025, the scale of computing power will exceed 300EFLOPS, and the proportion of intelligent computing power will reach 35%, so that the computing power of the east and the west will develop in a balanced and coordinated manner. Judging from the current development situation, by the end of 2022, the total scale of computing power in China has reached 180Eflops, of which the scale of intelligent computing power accounts for about 22.8%.With the rapid development of AI model, the demand for intelligent computing power is explosive, and the current intelligent computing power has become the main driving force for the growth of computing power in China. According to IDC’s forecast, the global AI computing market will grow from $19.5 billion in 2022 to $34.66 billion in 2026, of which the generated AI computing market will grow from $820 million in 2022 to $10.99 billion in 2026. The proportion of generative AI computing in the overall AI computing market will increase from 4.2% to 31.7%. According to the China Artificial Intelligence Computing Power Development Assessment Report, by 2026, the market size of artificial intelligence servers in China will reach 12.34 billion US dollars.

Storage capacity: the scale of storage capacity continues to expand, and the construction of advanced storage capacity is steadily accelerated.

In terms of storage capacity, the Action Plan proposes that the total storage capacity exceeds 1800EB, and the advanced storage capacity accounts for more than 30%.Judging from the current development, by the end of 2022, the number of servers in the data center in use in China exceeded 20 million, and the storage capacity exceeded 1000EB, increasing by 25%. At present, various provinces have successively introduced the goal of building storage capacity. According to incomplete statistics, Shanghai, Shandong, Ningxia, Tianjin and other places have successively issued relevant guidance documents on storage capacity.Specifically, Tianjin issued "Guiding Opinions on Doing a Good Job in the Construction and Development of Computing Network", Shandong issued "Action Plan for the Construction of Integrated Computing Network in Shandong Province (2022-2025)" and Ningxia issued "Guide for the Construction of Data Center in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region".

Carrying capacity: the quality of transport capacity has improved, and the three major operators have accelerated the layout of computing networks.

In terms of carrying capacity, the Action Plan proposes that the data center clusters of national hub nodes basically realize direct network transmission with a theoretical delay of not more than 1.5 times, the coverage rate of OTN in key application sites reaches 80%, the backbone network and metropolitan area network fully support IPv6, and the use of new technologies such as SRv6 accounts for 40%. According to the data of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, by the end of 2022, 2.312 million 5G base stations had been built and opened in China, and 110 cities in China had reached the standard of gigabit city construction, with the total length of optical cable lines in China reaching 59.58 million kilometers. With the continuous advancement of the East-to-West Computing Project, the operators’ investment in computing network has been continuously increased.

Application empowerment: accelerate the construction of marginal computing power, and the "computing power voucher" model is expected to be rolled out.

The application of computing power reflects the demand of computing power development. At present, the application of computing power in China is to accelerate the expansion from traditional fields such as Internet and e-government to services, telecommunications, finance, manufacturing, education and other industries. In the field of general computing power, the internet industry is still the industry with the greatest demand for computing power, accounting for 39% of the total computing power; The telecommunications industry has strengthened its investment in computing infrastructure, and its share of computing power has surpassed that of the government industry for the first time, ranking second. In the field of intelligent computing power, the demand for data processing and model training in the internet industry is increasing, and it is the industry with the greatest demand for intelligent computing power, accounting for 53% of the share of intelligent computing power; The service industry has rapidly developed from the traditional model to the new smart model, and the share of computing power ranks second.

With the explosive growth of the number of terminals and data in the Internet of Things, network communication is under great pressure. In order to meet the real-time, security and business needs of large-scale connection, edge computing has become an important supplement to cloud computing. Edge computing deploys computing resources closer to the terminal equipment, so that data can be processed locally, thus reducing the delay of data transmission to the cloud for processing and the pressure of network bandwidth.The Action Plan proposes to speed up the construction of marginal computing power, strengthen the layout of industry computing power construction, and meet the application needs of industrial Internet, education, transportation, medical care, finance, energy and other industries.

In addition, the Action Plan proposes that in order to deepen the application of computing power to the industry, the cost and threshold of computing power will be reduced, the demand for computing power will be guaranteed, and the application of computing power in more production and life scenarios will be promoted. From the perspective of possible policy paths, the calculation voucher model is expected to be pushed forward in the future. Specifically, since the beginning of this year, many provinces and cities have reduced the cost and threshold of computing power by issuing vouchers:On January 12 this year, Chengdu issued the "Policies and Measures for Accelerating the Development of Computing Industry in Chengdu around Supercomputing Intelligence", proposing that Chengdu will issue "Computing Vouchers" with a total amount of no more than 10 million yuan each year; On July 31, Hangzhou issued the "Implementation Opinions of the General Office of Hangzhou Municipal People’s Government on Accelerating the Innovation and Development of Artificial Intelligence Industry", proposing that the city should set up a "calculation voucher" with a total amount of no more than 50 million yuan each year, focusing on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises to purchase calculation services; On July 11th, Beijing indicated that it would launch the first phase of subsidy of not less than 40 million yuan for calculating power vouchers to support model enterprises to reduce training costs.

5. Investment suggestions

October needs to focus on five tracks with marginal improvement:Integrated circuits (storage, packaging and testing, materials), digital economy (data elements, data confirmation), automobile intelligence (automatic driving), consumer electronics (panel, Apple Huawei industrial chain), nonferrous metals (copper and aluminum, coal, precious metals).

3. Tracking of global key technology companies

China Consumer News reported (Su Bingjie, reporter Geng Ji ‘an): "Since I bought this BYD Qin hybrid car, there have been constant problems, and I went to the 4S shop for repair at two ends every three days." Recently, Mr. Ren, a consumer in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, told the reporter of China Consumer News that more than a dozen BYD car owners had the same experience. What kind of problem is it that makes car owners so upset? The reporter of China Consumer News launched an investigation.

It’s annoying to buy a new car

Mr. Ren told reporters that at the end of April 2016, he went to Shenzhen and bought BYD Qin 2014 (BYD7150WTHEV2) hybrid car that he had been paying attention to for a long time at Shenzhen Jinhuanyi 4S store. When the pure electric mileage reached more than 3,000 kilometers, Mr. Ren found that his car had a "disease"-when the throttle was increased, the engine would have an abnormal sound. The staff of the 4S shop told Mr. Ren that if the engine needs to be replaced for renovation, the bearings should also be replaced. Because the abnormal noise was not very loud at that time, Mr. Ren gave up the idea of maintenance.

The good times didn’t last long. In October 2016, Mr. Ren’s car "relapsed" and it was more serious than before. Mr. Ren told the reporter that in pure electric mode, when the vehicle speed is kept at about 30 km/h, the vehicle with the accelerator pedal will be "frustrated", and at the same time, the engine compartment will make an abnormal noise. With the increase of driving mileage, the "frustrated" and abnormal noise will become louder and louder. Mr. Ren sent the car to BYD authorized service shop for testing, and the result was that there was something wrong with the motor transmission assembly. After replacing the transmission sub-assembly, when the mileage of the car increased by more than 3000 kilometers in pure electric mode, "frustration" and abnormal sound appeared again.

What bothers Mr. Ren is that the old car disease has not been treated and new diseases have been added. With the increase of mileage, Mr. Ren found that when the vehicle is fully charged, it can only last for more than 40 kilometers in pure electric mode. "When I bought a car, BYD claimed that it could charge 13 kWh. However, the new car can only charge 10-11 kWh when it is fully charged, and it can only charge 8-9 kWh when it is used for less than two years. BYD claims that in pure electric mode, the cruising range of the vehicle under comprehensive working conditions can reach 70 kilometers, and now it can only travel for more than 40 kilometers. " Mr. Ren told reporters.

Complaints are not a case.

According to the investigation by the reporter of China Consumer News, there are 11 car owners who can get in touch with Mr. Ren in a similar situation. They all bought BYD Qin’s 2014 1.5T flagship version, and the vehicles all had different degrees of "frustration" and abnormal noise. The problem still exists after four car owners have changed the transmission. Six people reported that the vehicle’s full battery life was less than 45 kilometers.

Mr. Zhang, the owner of Sanmenxia City, told the reporter that in less than three years, he has replaced two transmissions, and the problem remains unsolved.

Mr. Ren said that many owners of BYD Qin all over the country have reported such problems in their vehicles, and even more vehicles lost power due to transmission failure during driving, which was bad on the road.

According to official public information of BYD, the charging capacity of Ferrous lithium phosphate power battery used by BYD Qin is 13kw/h, 90% of the system uses pure electric mode in hybrid mode, and the driving mileage under comprehensive working conditions can reach 70km.

In response to the problems reflected by consumers, the reporter of China Consumer News called BYD’s official customer service number for consultation. BYD staff said that the battery capacity drop and abnormal noise are technical problems and need to be tested at local authorized stores. For the case that the vehicle has a battery life of less than 70km in pure electric mode, the staff said that the battery life of 70km in pure electric mode is the test data under comprehensive working conditions, and the specific battery life has a certain relationship with the road conditions, climate conditions, driving conditions, temperature, load, electrical appliance use, etc. It is suggested that the owner contact the authorized point designated by the manufacturer and said that this situation will be fed back to the relevant departments of the company.

Mr. Ren told the reporter that after discovering that there was a problem with the vehicle, he had a BYD authorized service shop for testing, and the results showed that it was normal. The tester explained that the abnormal noise might be caused by driving habits. "If only one person has this problem, it can be explained in this way, but is it because of driving habits that more than a dozen people have the same problem? I can’t accept this explanation. I have contacted 4S stores and manufacturers many times, but I have never been able to get a reasonable explanation. " Mr. Ren said.

● Expert opinion

Suspected of false propaganda

On April 13th, Zhao Jiqiang, secretary general of Henan Automobile Industry Chamber of Commerce, told reporters that the development of new energy vehicles is still in its infancy, the technical level is still restricted, and the industry standards are not standardized and unified. The technology of battery industry is still in the stage of civilian development. At present, the detection of battery capacity used in automobiles is not standardized. There are differences between real electricity and virtual electricity in batteries, and there will be errors between conversion. BYD, as an automobile manufacturer that independently develops batteries, has its own battery testing institutions and standards. As for whether BYD’s battery capacity has a false standard, it can only be known by testing the battery capacity by the authoritative testing organization of the state. However, from the time when the vehicle can charge 13 kWh to the later 8-9 kWh, it shows that the melting capacity of the battery has changed when charging, and there may be problems with the quality of the battery, which will affect the endurance of the car to a certain extent.

Ge Rui, a lawyer of Henan Haoying Law Firm, believes that if the problems reflected by the car owners are true after being tested by the appraisal agency, then BYD’s publicity will violate Article 9 of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law. "Operators shall not use advertisements or other methods to make misleading false propaganda on the quality, ingredients, performance, use, producer, expiration date and place of origin of the goods, and advertising operators shall not represent, design, produce and publish false advertisements under the circumstances of knowing or should know. If the owner can collect the evidence of fraudulent propaganda of BYD manufacturers, he can ask the merchants to "return one and lose three" according to the provisions of the Consumer Protection Law.

Li Hansheng, director of the Complaints Department of Henan Consumers Association, said in an interview with China Consumer News that Henan Consumers Association has received 12 complaints about abnormal sound of BYD Qin series vehicles, and manufacturers should consider recalling defective cars and eliminating the defects of automobile products through measures such as repair, replacement and return. At present, Henan Consumers Association has communicated and discussed with BYD Henan institutions for many times, instructing Yadi manufacturers to work out detailed solutions to the problem of abnormal sound that consumers have concentrated on.

China Consumer News will continue to pay attention to the progress of the incident. (Geng Ji ‘an)
