  Car reviewer: Mr. Wang, good afternoon. First of all, thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to the conversation room of Autohome. Please introduce your company to the netizens first.

  Wang Wen: Thank you all, and it is a great honor to represent Guangdong Yuebaolai in the Autohome conversation today. Guangdong Yuebaolai is one of the earliest BMW dealers in Guangzhou. So far, we have celebrated our 18th anniversary. The BMW 4S store is located at the foot of Baiyun Mountain on Baiyun Avenue, Baiyun District.

  Car reviewer: We also heard about the strength of Yuebao, and the location of the store is also quite good. If you are interested, you can go to the store to learn more. Next question, which models did we bring to this year’s Guangzhou Auto Show?

  Wang Wen: BMW, as in the past, all BMW models have come to the exhibition site. This time we have two new products worth taking a look at. One is the flagship model IX of BMW New Energy, and the other is the coupe type I4. These two cars are currently very popular at the exhibition. Other models like the 3 Series, 4 Series, 5 Series, X, and M models that everyone likes are all present. Welcome to Hall 4.1 to take a look.

  Car reviewer: After all, the Guangzhou Auto Show is the most important large-scale auto show at the end of the year. We can also see that there are quite a few people around these two new cars on the BMW booth. Let’s talk back to our store. Which models are currently sold in the store and what are the customers who buy them?

  Wang Wen: Strictly speaking, BMW is more popular in every market segment, but like several mainstream models, such as the 3 Series, 5 Series, and X Series, the popularity is also relatively high. So far, our iX3 car has developed rapidly in the field of new energy. At present, there will be existing cars at the exhibition to see. Our customer base is relatively young and elite people in various industries, so it is said that you must be the target elite group at our exhibition.

  Car reviewer: We can also see that BMW has been making progress in terms of rejuvenation these years. Of course, its consistent track genes are also a point that can hit the needs of young people to buy cars, so I think this is also how popular BMW has always been. Also, the layout of BMW’s product line is still quite mature and stable. There are all kinds of models, and now it is also very aggressive in electrification. Let’s talk about the next question. How is your company’s sales this year? What is your sales target for the whole of 2021? Have you met your expectations at this stage?

  Wang Wen: In 2021, our overall goal is around 4,000 units. However, due to the impact of chip supply at the end of the year and some impact on the supply chain, our current completion is around 85%, which is in line with our expectations. The whole quality and quantity are good, reaching a better balance point. I believe that the market will develop steadily next year, and it will make further breakthroughs.

  车评人:今年疫情加上芯片的供应上的问题带来的冲击还是挺大的,咱们能取得到这个成绩可以说是相当的不容易。我想聊聊整个行业方面,整个2021年的广州汽车市场增速是否达到了您的预期?

  王文:按照以往,我们对它的预期都做到15%左右,今年虽然说受到疫情的一些中断、芯片的影响,到目前来讲也达到了将近10%左右,对我们来说是符合我们的预期。

  车评人:今年特别对于广州来说,5月份的那一波疫情影响还是挺大的。再加上芯片方面,我觉得某程度还是会影响一些消费者购车的积极性。我们再聊下一个问题,近些年电动车市场销售很火爆,您对电动车市场有什么预期吗?

  王文:随着国家政策普及也好,包括像我们新能源的概念的推广也好,现在整个市场还是比较利好,包括政策的一些支持。目前我们可以看到很多新能源的品牌都层出不穷,而且有很多做得非常不错,像国产的品牌蔚小理等等都是提升很快。今年车展我也看了一下很多新款的一些车型设计的理念,无论是从动力、能源设计的创新,以及科技的一些创新,包括智能化程度,哪怕是外形的设计都是非常吸引人的眼球。我们也相信在未来3~5年这种政策利好的情况下,新能源的市场一定会蓬勃发展。宝马也对这一块特别的在意,所以这次车展上大家也看到了,我们把iX3、iX、i4都作为一个主流车型在推广。未来我相信宝马有这几款车型加入之后,我们的新能源的阵营也越来越强大,市场份额也会突破我们的预期。

  车评人:展台上那两款新的电动车是相当值得大家期待的,客户对这两款车的关注度是否很高?

  王文:如果您去到我们展会上,你就可以看到现场是非常火爆的,包括我们的订单各方面都超过我们的预期。

  车评人:我觉得这两年变化还挺大,特别是像一线城市广州这样的消费者对于电动车的接受程度还是越来越高,以前可能他是为了一个指标,我不得不买一个电动车,但现在他是为了一种更好的体验或者更好的生活、科技的一些理解,然后去买电动车。宝马作为一个豪华品牌,它在这个切入点上做一些豪华的电动车还是能受到不少的关注。我们再来聊下一个问题,整个2021年豪华品牌在广州增开了不少4s店,相信您也有不少关注。除了产品本身之外,粤宝有什么竞争上的优势?

  王文:首先广东粤宝是一家18年的老店,在人才的储备、技术的积累以及经验的分享和总结当中,我相信我们的维修技术、服务质量都深入我们车主的心中,所以我们在口碑,在品牌传播,在我们自己的品牌建设当中都深入人心。今年我们也把客户的体验,包括明年我们把客户服务也当做一个重点来抓,我相信这种软实力的提升也会进一步提升广东粤宝在整个市场的份额。

  车评人:我觉得粤宝店的位置还是可以的,离市区还是比较近,不管客户去看车还是维修保养,其实是挺不错的。面积也挺大的。

  王文:是的,我们的硬件设施场地都比较方便,我们经常会跟客户开玩笑,白云山上风景好,白云山下看粤宝。

  车评人:非常好的宣传标语,而且宝马车型那么多,也确实要有那么大的展厅。它跟新势力品牌不一样,新势力在商场有一个展示的空间就足够了,但宝马整个车型的布局实在是太全面了,所以没有那么大的展厅,客户也很难深入了解各款车型之间的一些亮点,我觉得挺不错。我们再来聊最后一个问题,您认为未来汽车经销商现有的经营模式外,还有哪些新的模式可以采用?

  王文:这个问题也是经销商一直在思考的问题,未来我们的盈利点,包括我们服务的机会在什么地方。现在大家可以看到随着新能源汽车加入阵营之后,对市场的冲击和变化,你可以看到未来汽车不再是一个简单的出行代步工具,而会变成一个兼具出行代步、私密空间、智能共享,包括互联驾驶、互联智联这些概念集中于一体的生活平台。往后面走,我们经销商应该也跟着这个时代的节奏要往前走,我们未来可能会在像软件的应用、软件的更新,包括智能共享互联,包括引流等等,这些方面有所作为。

汽车之家

   车评人:我在这次车展的宝马展台上也看到了很多这些方面的互动展示,对于消费者来说,他可以很深入的或者很直观的去了解宝马这些方面的新的变化。顺便问一句,现在在车展上买车,优惠力度可以说是相当不错的。

  王文:我们为了给到客户一些惊喜,我们准备了一些比较多的礼包。比如说新能源,我们有换新购车的礼包给到你。如果说是我们的常规车型,比如说3系、5系、X系,我们为大家准备了“虎虎生威礼包”预示着我们明年一年虎虎生威,大家的业绩蓬勃发展。

  车评人:想买车过年的网友们可以抓住车展的好时机来看一看,或者到粤宝宝马店里去看一下。如果想年前买车,现在就是最好的时机,包括芯片这些也是能ok的是吧?

  王文:对。

  车评人:对消费者来说是相当于大的一个利好。

  王文:是的。市场逐步的稳健,疫情的控制非常有效,后期的芯片供应和我们车辆的供应也逐步恢复正常,所以大家可以放心来到我们4.1展台上,看看我们的宝马,选下你最热衷的车型。

  车评人:好,今天我的问题就到这里,再次感谢王总。

Giant pandas are skinny? Actually, I have dental disease

  On October 9th, a netizen posted Weibo that a giant panda was so thin that its bones could be clearly seen at the Qinling Wildlife Park in Xi ‘an, and three photos of the giant panda were attached. In the photos, the giant panda looked listless and its figure was not "round". On the afternoon of the 10th, the relevant person in charge of Xi ‘an Qinling Wildlife Park responded to the Beijing Youth Daily reporter that the photo of the giant panda taken by netizens was true, because the giant panda was old, its teeth were aging, and it suffered from pulpitis before the National Day. It was not good to eat for several days, so it was so thin.

  A bony giant panda

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily saw from the photos provided by netizens that this emaciated giant panda was standing in the museum, and its coat color was dim and it looked listless. As can be seen in one of the photos, the panda was thin enough to see the ribs clearly.

  "Is the national treasure treated like this?" "This panda has subverted my cognition. Aren’t all pandas round?" After this Weibo was issued, it attracted the attention of many netizens.

  On the afternoon of the 10th, the reporter of Beiqing Daily contacted the relevant person in charge of Xi ‘an Qinling Wildlife Park. The person in charge said that the photos of the giant panda taken by netizens are true, but this giant panda’s thinness is not caused by human factors, because this giant panda is older, its teeth are aging, and it got pulpitis before the National Day, and it can’t eat much for several days.

  "After we found out, we invited a special doctor to treat it. At present, the panda’s body is recovering, and the amount of bamboo and feces is normal." The person in charge said that these days, the giant panda is taking good care of itself in the inner room of the panda stadium and will not show it to tourists. When it recovers, it will be exhibited soon.

  Expert: Dental disease is the most serious threat to giant pandas.

  Yong Yan, a senior engineer of Foping National Nature Reserve in Shaanxi Province and director of the Giant Panda Research Center, told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that dental disease is the most serious disease that threatens the giant panda’s health. Once some wild giant pandas get dental diseases or dental caries inflammation, it is difficult to eat, and if they don’t eat for a long time, their nutrition can’t keep up, and even lead to death. He introduced that pulp disease is a disease of pulp tissue, including pulpitis, pulp necrosis and pulp degeneration. When the pulp is in acute inflammation, the blood vessels are congested and exudates accumulate, which leads to the increase of pressure in the pulp cavity, which makes the nerves compressed and stimulated by inflammatory exudates, which makes the pain extremely intense. It is possible that the pandas in Xi ‘an Qinling Wildlife Park will be "skinny" for a few days because of pulpitis.

  "As the saying goes, toothache is not a disease, but it hurts to kill people." Yong Yan said that although this statement is not correct, it does show that toothache is very painful from one side. The pain of a panda suffering from dental disease is the same as that of a human, which will affect its sleep and diet, so it needs to be found and treated in time.

Focusing on National Park Legislation | Protecting the Return Road of Tiger and Leopard in Northeast China

Xinhua News Agency, Changchun, September 17th (Reporter Shao Meiqi, Sun Yixuan) In the monitoring and research center of Northeast Tiger and Leopard in National Forestry and Grassland Administration, Hunchun City, Jilin Province, real-time pictures of the forest were played on the intelligent big screen, and scenes such as a family of Northeast Tigers walking and a leopard hunting with their baby frequently appeared, showing the vitality of this ecological paradise.

"Last year, at least 20 Siberian tiger cubs and 15 Siberian leopard cubs were born in the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park, and the range of activities of the Northeast Tiger and Leopard population was further expanded." Feng Limin, deputy director of the center, said.

According to the latest monitoring data, there are about 70 wild Amur tigers and 80 wild Amur leopards living in the park. Behind the Tiger Whistling Forest and the Leopard Leaping Castle Peak is the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park, which continues to protect wildlife and restore the habitat of the Northeast Tiger and Leopard.

On the 10th, the draft national park law was first submitted to the the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) meeting for deliberation. This is the first time that China has made special legislation on national parks at the national level.

Feng Limin was deeply excited. Since he first set foot in the northeast forest region in 2006, Feng Limin and the scientific research team have carried out monitoring and protection work for more than ten years in Northeast China, witnessing the step-by-step development of tiger and leopard protection.  

In the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park, intelligent infrared cameras can be seen everywhere. Tens of thousands of camera terminals converge into a "sky-ground integrated monitoring system", which can not only send back pictures in real time by networking and analyze them with artificial intelligence technology, but also realize real-time early warning and grasp the specific location of wild animals.

In recent years, the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park has actively guided residents to engage in ecological management and protection such as forest management and resource monitoring, and guided indigenous residents to develop alternative industries in various ways to promote the transformation of production and lifestyle.

During the summer vacation, the northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park Stealing and Hunting Warning Center in Wangqing County, Jilin Province ushered in a unique research activity. The museum not only meets the audience’s demand for nature education through traditional forms such as promotional videos and specimen displays, but also helps the audience to immerse themselves in understanding through VR interaction and other scientific and technological means.

"How cool!" "I will also protect the Northeast Tiger in the future!" "The patrol uncles have made great efforts!" Students will sign their names on the big screen of wisdom, and the generation of a leaf represents the commitment to ecological protection.

Ma Fujiu, deputy director of Wangqing Branch of Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park Administration, said: "There are laws to follow and evidence to follow. We can do better research on popular science under the premise of protection, further improve people’s participation and enhance public service functions."

"The ultimate goal of protection is to benefit the masses. Through the establishment of the legal system, the development of industrial transformation, the popularization of ecological education, and the innovation of scientific and technological means, the living space of tigers can be fully reserved, the development space of people can be well protected, and the harmony between people and tigers can be truly realized. " Chen Xiaocai, director of the comprehensive department of the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park Administration, said.

Farewell to Bluebird: Why does Musk love the letter "X" so much?

  On the 24th local time, Twitter owner Musk officially put on a new logo for social media Twitter, replacing Twitter’s original classic blue bird with "X". On the same day, Linda Yaccarino, CEO of Twitter, issued a message announcing that the Twitter logo was officially changed to X.

  Musk also put a video on his Twitter account, and the pattern in the video changed from Twitter’s original classic blue bird to "X". Musk also posted that X.com’s website has pointed to twitter.com. In addition, he also released a picture of the new icon "X" being projected on the Twitter headquarters building, with the caption "This is our headquarters tonight".

  Some media concluded that changing Twitter to "X" was a bad joke, but it also highlighted Musk’s ambition to build his "universal application". Musk once said that the acquisition of Twitter is to accelerate the creation of the universal application "X" and that "the acquisition of Twitter can accelerate this process for three to five years".

  It is reported that as early as April this year, it was reported that the Twitter company held by Musk was merged into its newly established company X Corp, and Twitter also announced to its business customers that Twitter would be renamed "X Corp", which means Twitter no longer exists as an independent company. In xAI official website, an artificial intelligence company founded by Musk, Twitter is also called "X". According to reports, Musk registered and established two new companies in Nevada on March 9: X Holdings Corp and X Corp The former is the parent company of the latter. On March 15th, Musk applied to merge his X Holdings I with X Holdings Corp and Twitter with X Corp.

  Re-branding or Dangerous Action?

  Experts say this move may further alienate the original users.

  In fact, since Musk acquired Twitter, this world-renowned social media company has undergone tremendous changes, from internal layoffs, restrictions on speech, and suspension of cooperation by advertisers. It is reported that Musk said earlier this month that the advertising revenue of the platform has been reduced by nearly half with the withdrawal of many large advertisers. Data from consulting firm Brand Finance shows that the brand value of the company has dropped by 32% compared with last year, mainly due to Musk’s "radical strategy".

  Yanhui Zhao, a professor of marketing in university of nebraska at omaha, USA, believes that when an enterprise is in trouble or wants to change its direction, brand remodeling can play a positive role. After studying 215 listed companies that have been rebranded, he found that half of them have achieved certain results. "This means that Musk’s move may be timely." He added that Musk hopes to turn Twitter into a "universal application" that can socialize, trade, take taxis and book hotels. Linda also explained in the social platform that the "X" platform (Twitter) will become a platform that can deliver everything. According to Yanhui Zhao, this is a very important rebranding for Twitter.

  However, according to Mike Proulx, a research expert at Forrester, a research consultancy, Musk still has a long way to go to achieve the above goals. "It takes time, money and manpower, which the company doesn’t have now." Mike also said that this move may further alienate Twitter’s original user base. In addition, considering the trust of Twitter users in the platform and financial supervision issues, many insiders believe that Musk’s wish is likely to fail.

  Shuba Srinivasan, a marketing professor at Boston University, warned that this was a dangerous move. "When a company is already in chaos, the possibility of success will be reduced." She added that such a move is even more dangerous, especially when other social media companies are competing with it.

  It is reported that another social media giant, Meta, has previously launched the application Threads and directly targeted Twitter. According to a survey data in May this year, a quarter of Twitter users said in the survey that they don’t expect to use the platform for one year. According to the report, changing Twitter to "X" also made users who had previously held a wait-and-see attitude towards Twitter leave the social platform more simply.

  Jean-Pierre Dube, a professor of marketing at the University of Chicago, thinks it’s strange to change Twitter’s classic blue bird logo to "X". "Why do you choose to gain a brand with great popularity, and then completely ‘ Make a makeover ’ And? In the short term, this is hard to understand. " In Dube’s view, it is difficult to judge whether rebranding can save Twitter. "I think leadership is the most important thing."

  Why does Musk love "X"?

  "X.com" once helped him earn the "first bucket of gold"

  Bobby Allyn, a journalist who specializes in science and technology, believes that Musk is trying to promote the "X" symbol on the surface, but in fact, it is only through publicity on social media, and the platform has not made substantial changes. "Joshua White, a professor of finance, talked to me about this issue. He thought that the name change seemed to attract people’s attention, but in fact it was of little commercial value. He described it as ‘ Coke changes its traditional packaging, but does not change any formula ’ " .

  Drew Benvie, CEO of Battenhall, a social media consulting company, analyzed that it is better to say that Musk wants to develop around his own "Musk Empire" than to reshape Twitter, and the "X" series companies will obviously work more closely together.

  According to reports, Musk once said that "I like the letter &lsquo very much; X’” Its passion for the letter "X" dates back more than 20 years. In 1999, Musk founded an Internet financial service company named "X.com", which was later transformed into "PayPal". In 2002, PayPal was sold to "eBay" for $1.5 billion, and Musk also earned nearly $180 million from it, which enabled him to have enough financial resources to invest in Tesla and established his space exploration company SpaceX in 2002. In 2016, Musk established Neuralink, a brain-computer interface company. It is reported that in addition to the newly merged Twitter, SpaceX and Neuralink now belong to X Corp.

  Bob said that he didn’t know why Musk liked the letter "X" so much. However, according to his speculation, Musk’s feelings for "X" may be out of some nostalgic feelings. "After all ‘ X.com’ Let him earn ‘ The first bucket of gold ’ 。”

Explain in detail that Musk is Tesla’s right-hand man: China executives are "excellent"

Phoenix Network Technology News Beijing time on September 24 th news,Elon Musk is currently running a number of ambitious technology companies by himself.While serving as CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, Neuralink, a brain-computer interface company, and Boring Co, a tunnel excavation company, were also established. Moreover, he is still busy with the lawsuit with Twitter.

Due to the lack of skills, Musk needs to rely on a large team of senior deputies to perform specific affairs. In Tesla, there are now more than 20 people responsible for maintaining Tesla’s business operations.

His direct subordinates often change with the change of the company’s strategy or organizational structure, and occasionally they are "fired on the spot" by the capricious CEO, or voluntarily resign.

27 senior deputies

According to the data summarized by foreign media, as of September 2022, Musk had 27 direct subordinates in Tesla. These data come from interviews with Tesla’s current and recent employees, LinkedIn profile, Tesla’s internal and public records, and may not include all those who report to him.

Musk’s direct subordinates are mainly concentrated in the United States, and more than 90% are men.Although he has moved Tesla’s headquarters from California to Texas, about half of his direct subordinates (14 people) remain in California. There are only 7 people in Texas, accounting for 22%.

Explain in detail that Musk is Tesla's right-hand man: China executives are "excellent"

These include Zachary Kirkhorn, CFO of Tesla, Allie Arebalo, Director of Human Resources, Luo Shang Thomas, Vice President of Global Supply Chain Management, Omead Afshar, Head of Texas Factory, David Lau, Vice President of Automotive Software, and Pete Bannon, Vice President of Hardware Design Engineering.

The task is arduous

As Tesla strives to put the new factories in Austin, Texas and Glenhead, Germany into full production and make progress on many other goals, Musk will need to rely on these senior deputies.

Musk has told shareholders and fans that Tesla will "solve the problem of fully autonomous driving (FSD)" this year., improve car service and maintenance, and start delivering Cybertruck pickup trucks in mid-2023.

He also said that Tesla will strengthen its battery manufacturing capacity, with the goal of producing its own 4680 battery with a capacity of 100 GWh this year, which is enough to power more than 1 million Tesla cars.

Moreover, Musk’s direct subordinates also need to lay off employees in the uncertain economic situation recently. Musk suddenly announced a large number of layoffs at the end of May this year, when Tesla faced a challenging second quarter, just as the Russian-Ukrainian war broke out and the epidemic continued.

In June this year, Tesla closed the entire Autopilot office in san mateo, California, and fired at least some employees..

These employees were previously approved to work remotely, but did not agree with Musk’s order to work at least 40 hours a week in Tesla’s office.In June this year, Musk mentioned in an email to Tesla employees that he "felt very bad" about the economy.

China executives

Three of Musk’s direct subordinates work outside the United States, and one of them is Zhu Xiaotong, global vice president of Tesla and president of Greater China.

Zhu Xiaotong joined Tesla in April 2014 as the project director of Tesla China Super Charging Station. In December of the same year, he took over as Tesla’s global vice president and president of China. In 2018, he was responsible for the construction and operation of Tesla’s Shanghai factory, and in 2019, he was promoted to president of Greater China.

Explain in detail that Musk is Tesla's right-hand man: China executives are "excellent"
Zhu Xiaotong and Musk

One of Tesla’s main businesses in China is the Shanghai Superfactory, which not only meets the demand of China market, but also becomes an export hub.

According to the data released by the China Ride Association, in August this year, Tesla sold 76,965 vehicles in wholesale, 42,463 in export and 34,502 in domestic retail. From January to August this year, Tesla has delivered 399,939 vehicles, which is only over 80,000 vehicles short of the 484,130 vehicles delivered in 2021, including nearly 160,000 vehicles exported and over 240,000 vehicles delivered domestically.

During the epidemic, the production of Tesla’s Shanghai factory faced severe challenges. According to people familiar with the matter, Zhu Xiaotong has been living in the Shanghai Superfactory since March 28th, and is responsible for supervising and ensuring the operation of the factory.

Musk has repeatedly praised the Shanghai factory and thought that the Shanghai super factory is difficult to be surpassed."I must admit that our Shanghai team is really excellent." He said.

Musk is a workaholic, likes to work overtime, and once slept in the factory.Therefore, he praised the diligence of China people. "There are many very talented and hardworking people in China who firmly believe in manufacturing. They not only stay up late, but also work diligently at three in the morning, and even don’t leave the factory at all. Americans try not to go to work. " Musk said this in May this year.

Tesla Shanghai factory

Recently, Tesla’s Shanghai factory has completed the expansion work. Tesla Giga Shanghai (Phase I) Phase II production line optimization project was completed on September 1st and started debugging. The expected acceptance period is from September 1st to November 30th.

The total investment of the project is as high as 1.2 billion yuan, which is an expansion in Tesla’s existing factory, mainly by increasing the production tempo to expand the production capacity. The EIA report released in November last year showed that the production line optimization projects were mainly the expansion of stamping workshop, body workshop, painting workshop, assembly workshop and logistics operation center.

There are quite a few resignations.

Although Andrej Capassi, senior director of artificial intelligence at Tesla, was not among those laid off or fired by Musk, he officially announced his resignation from Tesla in July. Ashok Elluswamy, the head of Autopilot, reports directly to Musk for the time being.

According to internal documents, other direct subordinates of Musk who left Tesla in 2022 include Chris Lister, former vice president of Nevada Super Factory, and Jean Frazier, senior director of employee relations at Tesla.

David Searle, the former head of Tesla’s legal department, still works in the company, but insiders said that they expect Searle to leave in the next few months because he previously managed more than a dozen employees, but now there is only one direct subordinate on the internal organization chart.

According to public and internal records, Dinna Eskin, senior legal director of Tesla, is now the manager of the company’s legal department, and is actually the company’s general counsel. Since the end of 2019, Tesla has not officially hired a person with the title of general counsel. (Author/Xiao Yu)

Eliminate mixing? Tucki released 480KW ultra-fast charging, and 2000 stations will be built in 2025.

Pay attention to the parallel starElectric planet News

Punch in and read every day

A deeper understanding of the transformation of the automobile industry

Authors: Crab Boss himself, Li Yujun

"Eliminate mixing! "When we put this PPT on Weibo, we actually expected that there would be great controversy.

picture

This PPT was issued at its own press conference this afternoon. The following fine print is actually today’s theme: ultra-fast charging+high battery life+self-operation, which will change the industry structure.

picture

Therefore, many people don’t understand why He Xiaopeng wants to mix DISS at the super-replenishment conference.

In fact, before formally introducing his own charging network, He Xiaopeng talked about his own logic, and in the subsequent small-scale group visit, he also responded to the key dispute about which is better: ultra-fast charging or power exchange.

picture

Next, let’s take a look at Tucki’s super energy. Let’s talk about whether it makes sense to "eliminate mixing".

Let’s start.

First, Tucki’s ultra-fast charging

What is Tucki’s super energy?

To put it simply, by 2025, Tucki will build another 2,000 ultra-fast charging stations, with more than 10,000.Pile filling, the maximum charging power is 480 KW.

picture

As for why you say "again"? At present, 1,000 self-operated charging stations have been built in Tucki, including 799 self-operated overcharge stations and 201 self-operated destination stations, covering all prefecture-level administrative regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government.

picture

As a reference, as of August 13th, 2022, there are 966 overcharge stations and 839 destination charging stations in China.

1、S4

At today’s Tucki Super Charging Conference, Tucki’s S4 Super Fast Charge made its debut. He Xiaopeng introduced that S4 super-fast pile filling has three advantages: lighter, smarter and safer.

picture

Lighter means that the cable weight of the charging gun is reduced by 36%, and the cable is significantly reduced.

S4, the smarter representative, supports plug-and-charge, touch-and-stop, and intelligent power distribution. According to the official, the startup speed will be controlled within 15 seconds.

Safer, it is the addition of liquid-cooled cooling charging technology, which can actively monitor the temperature rise in real time.

Tucki also laid out specific data and "hanged" a friend.

picture

The maximum power of S4 single pile is 480kW, that of V3 is 250kW, and that of Turbo is 350 kW;;

The maximum current of S4 single pile is 670A, that of Tesla V3 is 631A, and that of Porsche Turbo is 500A;;

The peak charging power of S4 is 400kW, that of Tesla V3 is 250kW and that of Porsche Turbo is 270 kW;.

Under CLTC working condition, the battery life of S4 is 200km, that of Tesla V3 is 150km and that of Porsche Turbo is 120 km after charging for 5 minutes.

In the field measurement, the cruising range of G9 with S4 ultra-fast pile filling was increased from 55 km to 265km after 5 minutes of charging, which actually increased the cruising range by 210 km.

In the QA session after the conference, we asked how long the highest power of S4 can last. The official answer is that it can last for more than 6 minutes depending on the SOC status.

3. Ultra-fast charging layout

He Xiaopeng asserted today that the next era will be the era of ultra-fast charging.

But as he said, ultra-fast charging is a complete system, involving cars, piles and networks.

For example, power batteries, electric drives and high-voltage PTC should all support 800V high-voltage platforms.

From pile to network, it is a more important layout.

He Xiaopeng said that the goal in 2025 is to build another 2,000 ultra-fast charging stations and lay more than 10,000 piles, so as to realize "worry-free travel". At present, there are more than 1,000 stations, and some of them will be transformed into S4 ultra-fast charging stations.

picture

From the perspective of splitting, Tucki will start the construction of S4 Super Express Station in the third quarter of this year, first of all, it will be laid out in the top ten cities with G9 orders, including Beishang Guangshen, Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan, Hangzhou and other cities, and it will also deploy stations at high-speed entrances and exits in several important areas of China.

In 2023 and 2024, Tucki will focus on the deployment of high-speed and destination charging stations, aiming to build energy stations with a radius of 3 kilometers in key areas.

picture

Afterwards, we asked, how many S4 ultra-fast charging stations are planned in 10 cities this year? The answer is within 100 stops.

By the way, I need to add that at the end of 2022, Tucki will launch a brand-new charging map application. We feel that we are directly targeting the "power-on" App of Standard Weilai.

Second, eliminate mixing?

After talking about Tucki’s grand 480 KW super charging network plan, we return to the controversial sentence of "eliminating hybrid".

In fact, before talking about "eliminating mixing", He Xiaopeng made a lot of preparations.

For example, the "unexpected" surge of pure electricity,

He Xiaopeng said that around 2020, he had predicted that the proportion of pure electricity in China would reach 35% by 2025. But judging from this year’s situation, "all players in the industry have never seen such an amazing growth before." 」

22.7% new energy penetration rate!this isAccording to the data in the first half of this year, He Xiaopeng even predicted that in the second half of this year, it will reach 30% in a single month, and it will be above 25% in the whole second half!

This means that in the second half of this year, for every four cars sold in China market, one car will be a new energy vehicle!

It goes without saying that new energy vehicles must be the future!

However, pure electricity OR hybrid, who is the future?

picture

This is the first part that He Xiaopeng focused on after he took the stage today, and he used four or five PPT.

The reason for this is partly from logic. New energy vehicles are not only pure trams, but also hybrids.

But it is speculated that more comes from competition.

For example, the competition between G9, the medium and large-scale flagship of pure electricity to be listed in Tucki, and L9, the newly released extended-range flagship.

If it is enlarged to hybrid, it will at least include the super hybrid products supported by Huawei, such as M7 and M5, and even Great Wall, and so on.

Therefore, I feel vaguely that He Xiaopeng’s exposition is actually explaining why ultra-fast charging is "the winner of the next generation of smart cars". Why should Tucki add 2000 S4 and S3 ultra-fast charging stations and ten thousand ultra-fast piles by 2025? And the uniqueness of Tucki facing the future, or moat.

Third, the key logic

So, what is the key logic that He Xiaopeng thinks the future must belong to pure electricity?

The key three.

First, ultra-fast charging will bring about an explosion in the sales of pure electric vehicles with more than 200,000 yuan.

picture

He Xiaopeng believes that in the market below the price of 100,000 yuan, fuel vehicles are being rapidly replaced by pure electricity; In the market with the price of 100,000 to 20, at present, the performance of hybrid has been very prominent since last year. The key reason lies in economy. The price of this price is very sensitive, so the battery life will not be too high. The key is how to balance cost, battery life and convenience.

And "(pure electricity at this price) to solve this problem, it may take another two or three years, including the price of batteries, including the emergence of new technologies. 」

picture

In the market above 200,000, the growth rate of pure electric vehicles is relatively the fastest, and there is a new change in SUVs above 300,000.

Because people who buy large and medium-sized SUVs want to open in cities and suburbs, "poetry and distance are needed", which determines that large and medium-sized SUVs with new energy should solve not only the problem of endurance, but also the problem of mileage anxiety caused by recharging, and then have different solutions such as changing electricity, mixing and fast charging.

However, the current fast charging actually does not meet everyone’s demand for pure electric energy, and then Tucki decided to build ultra-fast charging models and networks to provide better experience services.

Starting from G9, all new or modified models behind (Tucki) will be equipped with ultra-fast charging as standard … basically, S3S4 is the core. ",and this means that Tucki’s energy replenishment will be two to three times faster than the fast charging network outside.

"In the past, we were able to charge the car from 10% to 80% in about an hour, and (later) from 10% to 80% in 20 to 30 minutes. 」

He Xiaopeng further indicated that the next generation of more than 200,000 mid-to-high-end and high-end electric vehicles will meet several special baselines.

The first is to have a long battery life.To achieve 700 km CLTC, it is equivalent to a real endurance of 500-550 (WTP conversion);The second is to charge quickly."I believe that cars with more than 200,000 vehicles must have ultra-fast charging. 」Finally, we mustDo a good job in charging layoutThe layout of cars, batteries and piles should be "three-in-one", and ultra-fast charging will become an entry requirement.

Second, pure electricity meets the needs of users in most scenarios, and the next car that plugs in users is often pure electricity.

picture

This is a very interesting judgment!

He Xiaopeng said that these judgments come from data analysis, for example, pure electricity has satisfied the vast majority of usage scenarios. He Xiaopeng said that most users in China drive less than 300km, and most of them charge once a week or 1.5 times a week.90% of the scenes are in cities and suburbs."There are more than 1000 km, but I think the proportion is less than 5%. 」

picture

And "in the past, many people asked a question, I use electricity in the urban area, is it more suitable to use oil in the suburbs?" "He Xiaopeng said, this is the logic of mixing. Recently, they saw a very good data-"After many people who bought hybrids got used to charging … once they found that they could charge, his next car idea was to buy a pure electric car with higher battery life. 」

Thus, brought hisThe third logic:Pure electricity is more practical than mixing!

How to apply the law? The explanation given by He Xiaopeng is that the electricity cost is lower; Driving experience, especially at high speed, is more comfortable and quiet; Even the average weekly charging times will drop from 2-3 times a week to less than or equal to 1 time.

The last explanation seems quite contradictory. But … now, as long as you charge at the charging station, you will probably agree with He Xiaopeng.

picture

He Xiaopeng said: When the battery life is higher, the charging efficiency is higher and the charging layout is better, the cost performance of pure electricity in the market of over 200,000 will be more prominent, and we are very confident that the ultra-fast charging, high battery life and self-operated charging stations will change the whole market structure. 」

I just don’t know if the ideal and asking car owners agree.

Five, fifteen questions

Question 1:Before that, the construction of the overcharging station in Tucki obviously slowed down. What are the reasons?

He Xiaopeng: The main reason is that in 2020, after thinking that ultra-fast charging is the future, we think that fast charging will basically be eliminated. The second reason, slowing down at high speed, is because it is found that many high-speed car owners expect a short waiting time for charging, which can only be met by ultra-fast charging. The third reason is that if you want to support all 800 V and silicon carbide in the car, you need to accumulate some technology.

Question 2: If we put all our energy into ultra-fast charging, it will have a great impact on the power grid, or have high requirements for the entire capacity and electricity facilities, and even build energy storage stations. Can it really be rolled out on a large scale in terms of cost?

He Xiaopeng: Ultra-fast charging can’t increase much (cost). My first is to judge the trend of technology, the second is whether it can be done, and the third is whether it is expensive or not, and whether the construction can continue. After judging all these points, I think the ultra-fast charging can be fully laid out in the second half of this year-it will be done well from the end of the third quarter of 2022, that is, next month.

Question 3: In what range is the unit price of S4?

He Xiaopeng: It is not convenient to disclose the price at present.

Question 4: Is there a specific site plan for S4 ultra-fast charging? How many piles are there in a site?

He Xiaopeng: Basically, there are four piles in one station; Medium-sized stations have eight piles. We will have some extra-large stations in the future, and some stations may have dozens of piles. It’s what we’ve always wanted to do, and it may be in a bigger city in the first line.

Question 5: Is it possible to lay out the layout in the high-speed service area?

He Xiaopeng: At present, we have seen a very gratifying change. The State Grid and China Southern Power Grid, including provincial highway administrations, are building high-speed fast charging piles, which may be 60kW, 90kW and 120kW. If the capacity is limited and the layout is capable, we will all cooperate with them. If not, it may use energy storage stations or layout at high speed. It is also convenient to lay piles at high speed. In fact, it is very convenient if it can be densely distributed at the high-speed port.

Question 6: What is the layout plan for 10 cities this year?

He Xiaopeng: There are not many piles this year, and the number of sites is probably within 100; Next year will focus on construction, the number will increase significantly.

Question 7: If there are 3,000 stations distributed all over the country in the future, how will Tucki maintain them?

He Xiaopeng: We have made some adjustments, putting the national after-sales team and the over-filled pile maintenance team together, and having a team of after-sales service system throughout the country. On this basis, through data management, if someone finds that the pile can’t be filled, they can tell us immediately, and we will remove the pile in the reservation system and then arrange maintenance.

Question 8: Some people say that the problem of infrastructure overcharge is left to the state, and it is a drop in the bucket for cars to do this. What do you think of this problem? Besides, what do you think of changing electricity?

He Xiaopeng: I don’t think this infrastructure should be considered if the vehicle is between 100,000 and 200,000 yuan. This is the scope that the more expensive and bigger the vehicle is, which is caused by different positioning. Secondly, I believe that the country’s infrastructure will be completed one day, which I believe very much, but at present, there are operational challenges, service problems and inconsistencies in various capabilities. Third, some people change power, some people mix, and some people take ultra-fast charging. There must be some solutions to the problem. I think there is no right or wrong, and they are all good solutions. However, we believe that such a scheme may be more suitable in the long term, from the perspective of globalization and energy security, and different schemes have different challenges in the short term.

Question 9: Will Xpeng Motors consider the mode of changing power stations in the future?

He Xiaopeng: We are now.Without considering changing electricity,The back is full of ultra-fast charging.

Question 10: Will the previous models consider iteration or upgrade? Will the previously deployed overcharge be adjusted?

He Xiaopeng: There are great differences between S4 ultra-fast charging and S2 fast charging systems, and they are basically new. The ultra-fast charging of S4 is compatible with the charging of S3 and S2, which is actually equivalent to improving the average charging efficiency of the original vehicle. However, from the perspective of the vehicle, it is difficult for the previous vehicle to upgrade from S2 to S4 because of the need for battery adjustment.G4 is supported by G9, S3 is supported by other configurations, and the actual requirements for batteries are different.

Question 11: Will S4 ultra-fast charging be open to third-party brands? Is it all backwards compatibility?

He Xiaopeng: We will be open in some places, but if our car owners have high demand, they will all enjoy it, because it is the most difficult to find electricity by themselves. As for compatibility, of course, all compatibility.

Question 12: What is the level of electricity charge and service price after S4 is super-fast charged?

He Xiaopeng: It’s the same at present.

Question 13: What is the battery decay life after using this high-power overcharge?

He Xiaopeng: Last year, we made a lot of efforts to customize batteries, and cooperated with battery companies to change the whole intelligence, the whole management, the power of the whole car, the module and the power module of the pile. This is the most concerned reason, so as to make everything unsafe and hands-free.

Question 14: Just now, we mentioned that there are about four piles in a station, all of which are 480kW power. If we want to run to full capacity, it means that there must be more than 160kW capacity. At present, the power grid is still difficult to support. How can Tucki solve this problem?

He Xiaopeng: At the same time, four cars are charging on this pile. I believe the probability will be lower. If you take one car for each pile, I can go at the highest speed. I may be different between two cars. Secondly, we just saw that 5 minutes is the fastest, followed by 10 minutes. After 20 minutes of charging, the speed will slow down. It is a charging curve. First, it will be charged quickly, and then gradually. When it reaches 90%, you will find it is very slow. It will charge slowly to ensure the safety of the battery. You will see that some cars may be at 70% of the time, and he doesn’t have to be so fast. He can give another car 10% or 30% of the charge, so there is no need to multiply the overall capacitance by 4.

Question 15: How much capacity does a single station generally need?

He Xiaopeng: That’s 480 kW.

(End)

Dong Mingzhu builds cars and encounters twists and turns again. 67 new energy buses of Gree Titanium are destroyed by fire.

  Economic Observer Network reporter Gao Feichang Intern reporter Wang Lingyun On January 30, the fire incident of several new energy buses parked in an open space in Fenghuang Village, Tianya District near Sanya Airport was listed on the hot search list. According to the video of the scene of the accident recorded by witnesses, black smoke was filled and the fire was big. After receiving the alarm, local fire rescuers immediately rushed to the scene for disposal, and it took nearly two hours to completely extinguish the open fire on the scene. After preliminary approval by the fire department, a total of 80 vehicles were parked at the site, and 67 new energy buses were fired, with an area of about 1,800 square meters. The cause of the fire and property losses are under investigation and statistics.

  According to the video reported by Sanya Radio and Television Station, some of the over-fired but not completely burned vehicles can see the obvious word "Yinlong" on the front, and some of the unburned vehicles are printed with the logo of "Guangtong Pure Electric" (Zhuhai Guangtong Automobile Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Gree Titanium).

  Some local villagers reported that these new energy buses with Sanya licenses had been parked in the empty space of Fenghuang Village in 2022 and had been left unattended. Some on-site staff also called these vehicles "French cars".

  According to public information, at the end of August 2021, Gree Electric successfully acquired Yinlong New Energy Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yinlong New Energy"), and two months later Yinlong New Energy announced its name change to "Gree Titanium New Energy Co., Ltd." (hereinafter referred to as "Gree Titanium").

  The relationship between Gree Electric and Yinlong New Energy can be traced back to 2016. Dong Mingzhu, chairman and president of Gree Electric, pushed Gree Electric to buy Yinlong New Energy because of his optimistic market prospect of new energy vehicles, but this proposal was rejected at the shareholders’ meeting. Soon after, as a natural person shareholder, Dong Mingzhu, together with his friends Wang Jianlin and Liu Qiangdong, invested 3 billion yuan in Yinlong New Energy, and Dong Mingzhu became the second largest shareholder of the company, holding 17.46%.

  In November 2018, Zhuhai Yinlong experienced twists and turns in company management disputes. At that time, Yinlong New Energy Co., Ltd. issued a statement saying that during the performance of their duties, the new board of directors, the board of supervisors and the management of the company found that Wei Yincang, the former chairman, and Sun Guohua, the former president, were suspected of encroaching on the company’s interests by illegal means, amounting to more than 1 billion yuan. The company has filed a civil lawsuit with Zhuhai Intermediate People’s Court, and the Economic Investigation Detachment of Zhuhai Public Security Bureau has reported the case, and the relevant institutions have officially accepted it.

  In September, 2021, Gree Electric announced that the company won 30.47% equity of Yinlong New Energy by participating in the public auction of judicial auction, and Dong Mingzhu also entrusted Gree Electric to exercise the voting rights corresponding to its equity of Yinlong New Energy, and Yinlong New Energy became a holding subsidiary of Gree Electric.

  On February 2nd, the reporter of Economic Observer Network called the Gree Electric investor hotline to inquire about the above-mentioned new energy bus fire, but as of press time, the phone could not be connected.

  Since the popularization and application of new energy vehicles in China, the incidents of fire of new energy vehicles have frequently appeared in newspapers. But a single large-scale fire is still rare. Judging from the scale of the damaged vehicles, the number of passenger vehicles in Sanya this time is second only to the fire accident of Beijing Xiedao electric bus a few years ago.

  On May 1, 2017, cars caught fire in the parking lot of Xiedao Resort Park, Dongwei Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, and a total of 89 new energy buses were burned, all of which were produced by An Kai buses. Fortunately, the incident did not cause any casualties. According to the investigation results of Beijing Fire Department at that time, the accident was caused by the rapid burning and spreading of piled catkins.

  At that time, most of the accidents were the 6111K10 pure electric buses of An Kai Bus. It is understood that this model is a pure electric commuter car in the new energy bus products of An Kai Bus, with a body length of about 11 meters, and the energy storage device is Ferrous lithium phosphate power battery produced by Guoxuan Hi-Tech. It is worth mentioning that when the specific cause of the fire was not announced at that time, Star Charging, a bus and charging pile enterprise in An Kai, made a clarification in advance, indicating that the cause of the accident was neither the quality problem of the electric bus itself nor the charging failure.

  At present, Gree Titanium has two kinds of battery products, including its main technology lithium titanate battery and traditional lithium iron phosphate battery, both of which are applied to new energy buses and special vehicles under Gree Titanium. The specific cause of the new energy bus fire accident in Sanya has yet to be investigated by relevant departments.

  Cross-border car-building for several years, the road to car-building in Dong Mingzhu has not been smooth. Yinlong Effie, the first MPV model of Yinlong New Energy, has poor sales in the market. The data shows that its sales volume in 2019 was only 2,708 units. In 2021, sales once rebounded, but in 2022, sales fell again.

  According to the data of the Passenger Association, in 2022, China’s new energy bus market generally resumed growth, with sales of 58,000 units from January to December, an increase of 18%. According to the statistics of China Bus Information Network, in 2022, the sales volume of new energy buses over 6 meters in China was TOP5, Yutong Bus, Suzhou Jinlong Bus, Zhongtong Bus, BYD and CRRC Electric respectively, while Gree Titanium New Energy ranked 12th with sales volume of 1,736 vehicles, down 14.27% year-on-year, with a market share of only 2.82%.

Developing Digital Economy and Lighting the Road to Innovation (Belt and Road, Think Tank Observation)

  In March 2016, the Laos-1 satellite successfully launched in xichang satellite launch center, China was delivered in orbit. This is the first commercial satellite exported by China to ASEAN countries.

  Wan Li Silk Road, connecting the East and the West, spans the past and the present. The Chairman of the Supreme Leader proposed to build the Belt and Road into a road of peace, prosperity, openness, innovation and civilization. Among them, the significance of innovation lies in insisting on innovation-driven development and advocating green, low-carbon, circular and sustainable production and lifestyle. The development of the digital economy will promote the social development of countries related to the Belt and Road Initiative to be more efficient, intelligent and humanized, and will certainly create new opportunities for development, seek new impetus for development, expand new space for development, and benefit the world and the people.

  Mobile Internet — —

  Digital economy enters the era of big data.

  Based on the core indicators of digital economy development, it can be found that the countries along the "Belt and Road" are obviously unbalanced in the development of digital economy. Among them, there are countries like Israel, Estonia and Singapore that are at the forefront of the world, and many countries are still underdeveloped.

  In recent ten years, some countries, including China, India, United Arab Emirates, Israel and Poland, have made remarkable achievements in digital infrastructure, e-commerce, network governance and other aspects by formulating far-sighted digital economy development strategies, and their growth rate has obviously exceeded that of developed countries, showing great potential and vitality.

  Mobile broadband is the foundation of economic activities such as Internet of Things, autonomous driving and intelligent manufacturing, and represents the development of a new round of intelligent infrastructure of digital economy. Its penetration level can best reflect the digital economic foundation of an economy. In recent years, the mobile Internet has empowered individual consumers, made globalization and large-scale collaboration possible, and directly promoted the so-called "big data torrent". The development of digital economy has entered the era of big data. Globally, this indicator has reached nearly 50% in 2016 from less than 20% in 2011, and the development speed is amazing.

  The widespread penetration of mobile Internet has fundamentally changed the business model of enterprises and the way of personal life and consumption. The most striking things are the rise of sharing economy based on extensive participation of users, diversification of working scenes and intelligent equipment, which have driven a new round of blowout development of e-commerce in various countries. This is reflected in the e-commerce development indicators of countries along the "Belt and Road". The index of "B2C e-commerce development" constructed by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development is composed of the Internet user penetration rate, credit card payment share, logistics level and security server, which reflect the convenience of developing consumer-side e-commerce. From this indicator value, the national average along the Belt and Road Initiative is 49.0%, slightly higher than the world average of 47.2%.

  Combined with the growth rate index of digital economy in recent years, we can find the unbalanced characteristics among countries along the Belt and Road. Some countries with relatively good foundations, such as Malaysia, Romania and China, have bright growth data, and the growth rate of digital economy is much higher than the global average. It can be expected that these countries will stand out and rise to a higher level of development in the next five years. However, in other countries with weak foundations, the growth level is almost at a standstill, which deserves attention.

  Chinese enterprises go to sea — —

  Share the development opportunity in the digital age

  In 2016, the project and transaction volume of seven core infrastructure areas (public utilities, transportation, telecommunications, society, construction, energy and environment) in countries along the Belt and Road Initiative was about 494 billion US dollars. In the first quarter of 2017 alone, China enterprises increased their non-financial direct investment in countries related to the Belt and Road Initiative by a total of US$ 2.95 billion, accounting for 14.4% of the total foreign investment in the same period, up 5.4 percentage points from the same period last year. The Belt and Road Initiative has become the focus of China enterprises’ overseas investment.

  In addition to the cooperation and co-construction of infrastructure, science and technology, commerce and culture are also the highlights of the "Belt and Road Initiative". With the rapid development of digital economy in China, China Internet companies with global vision and excellent strength have also shown a strong desire to "sail out to sea" in generate.

  From the perspective of ability, the fierce domestic market competition environment and perfect infrastructure have forged a number of Internet enterprises with strong competitiveness. Its operation and innovation ability has gone beyond the simple imitation stage, and many local innovative products and services with international competitiveness have emerged, such as super program, mobile payment, bike-sharing and so on.

  From the perspective of willingness, the competition in the domestic market is becoming increasingly fierce, and expanding the international market has become an inevitable choice for Internet companies in China. The "One Belt, One Road" initiative has pointed out the direction for China Internet companies to build and share the digital economy dividend on a global scale with the advantages of local innovation. Geographical and cultural proximity also makes the countries along the Belt and Road become the yearning places for Internet companies in China.

  It should be noted that countries along the "Belt and Road" have a large number of factor endowments that have not been fully optimized, and they urgently need Internet dividends to improve the overall efficiency of resource allocation, increase employment through large-scale investment, and improve people’s living standards.

  Alibaba, Huawei, Meitu, etc. are quite representative enterprises among them.

  Take Alibaba as an example. Countries along the Belt and Road have become the focus of its strategic development. The company plans to establish several digital free trade zones to create a global "Digital Silk Road". In order to achieve this goal, Alibaba is committed to transplanting the mature e-commerce environment in China to relevant countries from e-commerce, payment means and logistics.

  In 2014, Alibaba invested US$ 249 million in Singapore Post. Cainiao Logistics has deployed 17 overseas warehouses in countries along the Belt and Road. In 2016, it acquired Lazada, the largest e-commerce company in Southeast Asia, for US$ 1 billion, setting a single record for Alibaba’s overseas investment. Ant Financial invested in Ascend Money, a subsidiary of Thailand Zhengda Group, and also invested in the Indian version of "Alipay" Paytm, with a user scale of over 215 million.

  With the help of the huge users and related data brought by e-commerce, Alibaba is also actively building data centers in Hongkong, Singapore, the Middle East and Europe through Alibaba Cloud, and setting up 14 regional nodes around the world. The self-developed large-scale computing operating system Feitian also goes out to sea together, connecting millions of servers all over the world into a supercomputer, and providing computing power for the society in the form of online public services.

  Alibaba is just a microcosm of China enterprises’ deep participation in digital economy construction in countries along the Belt and Road Initiative. A large number of China enterprises such as Huawei, ZTE, Fiberhome, Xiaomi and Meitu have come one after another.

  Up to now, Huawei’s overseas revenue accounts for more than 70%, and ZTE’s overseas revenue accounts for 50%. The global competitiveness of China telecom system equipment manufacturers has provided an important guarantee for the communication infrastructure construction of countries along the Belt and Road.

  Take Huawei as an example. "Six or seven years ago, no one in Bulgaria knew about Huawei. Now it has become a household name, not only because of the popularity of Huawei mobile phones, but also because the network equipment and technology brought by Huawei have changed people’s lives." Aurelio Garic, senior account manager of Huawei Bulgarian Company, said in an interview with the media. This is not uncommon in many countries along the Belt and Road. China enterprises are doing their best to help promote the development and upgrading of local industries, and the business card of "China Zhizao" is getting louder and louder.

  Intelligent terminal is also a major advantage of China Zhizao. Although Apple and Samsung still lead the global market, their market share adds up to only 1/3. In 2016, China enterprises accounted for more than 50% of global smartphone shipments. Among the top ten mobile phone companies in the world, China brand has occupied seven seats.

  With the popularity of smart terminals, mobile phone applications have also become a new emerging field for Internet companies in China. Taking Meitu Xiu Xiu as an example, the self-portrait application "Beauty Camera" specially created for Indian users ranked first in the most popular application field of Google App Market in India in 2016. At the beginning of 2017, Meitu Xiu Xiu became popular overseas because of hand-painted selfies, ranking first in the total list of free mobile phone applications in eight countries and regions, including Russia, and ranking among the top ten in the total list of free mobile phone applications in 21 countries and regions around the world.

  Data show that in 2016, China’s software industry exported 51.9 billion US dollars, up 5.8% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 4.1 percentage points higher than that in 2015. Internet technology enterprises in China, such as Zhuyun, Netlong, DJI Innovation and Daily Yoga, have all benefited from this.

  The "going out to sea" practice of Internet enterprises in China has brought the latest technological innovation and model application to countries along the Belt and Road, and formed a good interaction with local governments, enterprises and people, which has contributed to the development of digital economy and the improvement of economic growth model in countries along the route. This is also the best practice of discussing, building and sharing ideas.

  Digital change — —

  New opportunities to bridge the digital divide

  At present, countries along the "Belt and Road" are struggling to develop, and the ongoing digital economic transformation is a development opportunity that cannot be missed. Developed countries in Europe and America have successively formulated their own national digital strategies, which provide many experiences for the development of digital economy. Some international organizations, such as OECD and World Economic Forum, attach great importance to the agenda of digital economy and publish global development reports in this field every year.

  Facing the reality, countries along the Belt and Road face multiple challenges in the development of digital economy, among which the biggest challenge can be summed up as how to create an environment conducive to digital innovation and entrepreneurship, thus bridging the gap with developed countries.

  Increase budget, encourage competition and expand data sources. The government needs to increase the proportion of digital budget, encourage competition in the information and communication industry and expand the available data sources by strengthening investment in digitalization and various related infrastructure. Some countries with insufficient financial resources can use the co-construction platform under the framework of the "Belt and Road Initiative" to accelerate their development through cooperation with regional institutions such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.

  Regional cooperation, encouraging investment and industrial integration. Countries along the "Belt and Road" should further strengthen regional cooperation, open up on an equal footing, encourage foreign investment and the development of domestic small and medium-sized digital technology enterprises, and integrate into the global industrial chain. Encourage foreign-funded enterprises to invest digitally, whether focusing on digital infrastructure or digital business applications. By integrating into the global industrial chain, domestic enterprises can transfer the technological achievements of advanced countries and enhance their global competitiveness.

Countries along the "Belt and Road" should encourage traditional enterprises to invest in the commercialization of digital technology, especially in the digital transformation of traditional industries, and quickly promote business model innovation, cross-border integration and digital economy development with wide application. In recent years, many emerging market countries have achieved rapid development by encouraging local enterprises to learn from and absorb foreign mature digital business models, and on this basis, carry out localized innovation. Driving the introduction and development of technology by application is an important way for developing countries to catch up.
