Behind Russia’s "escalation of wording"

  March 24th, which just passed, is the 25th anniversary of NATO’s bombing of Yugoslavia.

  On the same day, the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a noticeable announcement, pointing out that the bombing of Yugoslavia by the United States and its NATO allies 25 years ago destroyed the European security foundation after World War II, and their guilt has not yet been forgotten.

  Tass news agency: The announcement said, "No NATO official has been punished for this, but they just decided to call the victims of aggression ‘ Incidental loss ’ That is, when realizing the geopolitical ambition of the United States ‘ Associated ’ The loss. The issue of NATO allies’ responsibility for damaging international relations and this country is still unresolved. "

  In connection with the ongoing Ukrainian crisis provoked by the United States and NATO led by it, it is natural for the outside world to interpret more meanings about NATO’s guilt from Russia’s position.

  Intriguingly, after the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Serbia, one of the main successors of the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, has been bullied and lured by the West to take sides on the issue of "opposing Ukraine and controlling Russia". But Serbia resisted the pressure.

  Just earlier this month, Serbian President Vucic told reporters that western countries are trying to defeat Russia by pursuing a comprehensive militarization policy, which is "a crazy thing that is happening now".

  European economy turns to "crisis mode"?

  Facts have proved that what Vucic said is true.

  In response to the "Russian threat", NATO members in Europe are increasing their military spending.

  Borrell, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, issued a document on 25th local time, saying that the military budgets of EU member states increased by 50 billion euros between 2022 and 2023 due to "the drastic changes in the international situation".

  Nevertheless, there is still a gap between this and NATO’s requirement that military expenditure should reach 2% of the gross domestic product (GDP) of each member country.

  According to the latest research by the Iff Institute of Economics in Germany, the European member countries of NATO still need to increase an additional 56 billion euros every year to meet the standards. "In the case of weak economic growth and fiscal tightening in many countries, this has increased the budget pressure."

  But in order to meet the standards, Europe is also fighting.

  According to the current fiscal discipline of the European Union, the annual deficit of each member state should not exceed 3% of GDP and the debt should not exceed 60% of GDP.

  However, according to the Financial Times, in order to facilitate Italy, Poland, Baltic countries and other member countries with relatively high debt and deficit levels to increase their budgetary expenditures, including military expenditures, the EU has agreed to reform the fiscal rules that have been implemented for 20 years, allowing EU countries to "adjust more flexibly" when the deficit is too high.

  Therefore, in the future, the European Commission will regard military expenditure as a "reduction factor" when evaluating whether to take action against member States that break through the annual deficit ceiling.

  No wonder the U.S. government, which has been urging Europe to increase its defense spending, recently "praised" the EU countries for their "progress" in meeting the military expenditure standards.

  According to the 2023 annual report released by NATO recently, as of last year, the military expenditure of NATO’s European member countries increased by 11% year-on-year, maintaining the growth trend for the ninth consecutive year.

  The report also shows that the military expenditure of 11 NATO member countries reached 2% of their GDP last year. It is estimated that by the end of this year, two thirds of the 32 NATO members will reach or exceed this level.

  Just recently, Norway became the latest European NATO member to say that it will achieve the 2% military expenditure target this year, one year ahead of schedule.

  Some Eastern European and Baltic countries, as Depth Charge, are particularly active.

  Poland’s military expenditure this year will exceed 4% of its GDP, which is also the highest level among NATO members.

  Because of the new financial regulations of the EU, this practice, which originally violated the EU’s financial discipline, will no longer be restricted in the future.

  In the words of Polish Foreign Minister Sicorschi, "We are moving in the right direction … … In view of the fact that the Russian economy is already in wartime, the economies of European countries need to at least turn to crisis mode. "

  "For us, this has become a war."

  In the fiery atmosphere where NATO countries are busy preparing for the war, the "cloud of sending troops", which originated from French President Macron, continues to ferment.

  Macron, once regarded as the largest "peacemaker" in Europe, has been insisting on his "theory of sending troops" on different occasions since he first openly talked about the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine when he hosted the International Conference in Support of Ukraine at the end of February.

  The latest statement of French military leaders also echoed Macron’s remarks.

  Burkhard, chief of general staff of the French army, said after a meeting with the Swedish Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief, that the western support for Ukraine "may exceed the supply of weapons" and that "Europeans must be able to take risks to ensure the security of Europe in the next decade".

  French Army Chief of Staff Schill also published a signed article in Le Monde, France, saying that France can mobilize an army of 20,000 people within 30 days and has the ability to command the French and allied troops of 60,000 people.

  "The French army should be prepared for the most difficult action."

  In this regard, Medvedev, vice-chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, posted a message on social media warning that after Macron and others said that France had no "red line" in aiding Ukraine, Russia also had no "red line" in its relations with France.

  Medvedev also wrote in Latin: "All means can be taken against the enemy."

  Although France has always denied that it has sent troops to Ukraine, and NATO members including the United States and other western countries have distanced themselves from Macron’s remarks for the first time, according to the latest revelation made by Polish Foreign Minister Sicorschi in an interview a few days ago, western troops in Ukraine have become an "open secret".

  Coincidentally.

  Matthew Huo, a former official of the State Council in the United States, also bluntly said in an interview recently that there are NATO and American military personnel in Ukraine, including special forces, CIA personnel, contractors, mercenaries and suppliers. In this way, the United States and western countries conceal their military personnel input in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and will never admit it.

  In the face of the aggressive western sword-throwing, the Russian official’s wording on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has also escalated, which has aroused widespread concern from the outside world.

  Peskov, Russian Presidential Press Secretary, said in an interview a few days ago that Russia’s special military action in Ukraine "has turned into a war for us" when the western collective stood on Ukraine’s side and participated in the conflict.

Wang Jianlin finally cut off the "heart meat"

Wanda Film announced at noon on December 6 that the actual controller, Wang Jianlin, and others plan to transfer 51% of the company’s controlling shareholder, Beijing Wanda Investment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Wanda Investment). If the above matters are finally implemented, it will lead to a change in the company’s control.

The announcement shows that the company received a notice on the same day that the company’s indirect controlling shareholder, Beijing Wanda Cultural Industry Group Co., Ltd., and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Beijing Hengrun Enterprise Management Development Co., Ltd., and the company’s actual controller, Wang Jianlin, intend to transfer 51% of the company’s total controlling shareholder, Wanda Investment, to Shanghai Ruyi Investment Management Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Shanghai Ruyi).

Wanda Film said that in view of the uncertainties in the above matters, in order to ensure fair information disclosure, safeguard the interests of investors, and avoid abnormal fluctuations in stock prices, the company has applied to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange to suspend trading of the company’s shares since the opening of the market on December 6, 2023 (Wednesday). It is expected that the suspension time will not exceed 2 trading days.

▲ Wanda Film Announcement

It is worth noting that, previously, Hong Kong stocks China Ruyi had announced on the evening of July 23 that, as a controlled structural entity in which the company holds 100% of the actual interests, Shanghai Ruyi was 2.262 billion yuan to transfer 49% of the shares held by Beijing Wanda Cultural Industry Group Co., Ltd. Wanda Investment.

China Ruyi said in the announcement that after the completion of the equity transfer, Shanghai Ruyi will directly hold 49% of Wanda Investment. Shanghai Ruyi currently has no intention to appoint directors of Wanda Investment and has no intention of participating in its daily operation and management. Wanda Investment will not be a subsidiary of China Ruyi.

Shanghai Ruyi has produced many popular film and television dramas

Wanda Film is Wang Jianlin’s "quality asset".

Wanda Film’s third quarterly report data shows that in the first three quarters of this year, Wanda Film’s operating income was about 11.347 billion yuan, an increase of 46.98% year-on-year; the net profit attributable to the shareholders of listed companies was about 1.114 billion yuan. From January to September 2023, the company’s domestic theaters achieved box office 6.22 billion yuan (excluding service fees), an increase of 67.6% year-on-year, an increase of 5.2% over the same period in 2019; the number of moviegoers 150 million, an increase of 68.7% over the same period in 2019.

Data show that as of September 30, 2023, Wanda Film had 877 cinemas and 7,338 screens in operation in China, including 709 directly-operated cinemas and 6,159 screens, 168 light-asset cinemas and 1,179 screens. The company’s cumulative market share in the first three quarters was 16.5%.

According to public information, Shanghai Ruyi was established in 2013 and is mainly engaged in the production and operation of radio and television programs and film distribution business. It is a controlled structural entity in which China Ruyi holds 100% of the actual interests. The company has produced a number of popular film and television dramas such as "Hello, Li Huanying", "To Youth", "Langya Bang", "Biography of Mi Yue", "Sewing Machine Band" and "Send You a Little Red Flower". Previously, among the four cornerstone investors introduced by the IPO of Lehua Entertainment, Sun Mass Energy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Ruyi, had subscribed for the sale of shares of 7.90 million US dollars.

▲ Picture source: Ruyi company official website

It is worth mentioning that the largest shareholder of China Ruyi is Tencent. Including the previous introduction of China Ruyi, Wanda returned funds of 6.766 billion yuan through three equity transfers in July to dispose of Wanda Film and Wanda Investment Equity.

According to Wanda Film’s July 23 announcement on the change of indirect controlling shareholders’ equity, after the relevant equity changes with Shanghai Ruyi were completed, Shanghai Ruyi indirectly held 9.8% of Wanda Film’s shares through Wanda Investment.

At the same time, Wanda Culture Group indirectly holds a 10.2% stake in Wanda Film through Wanda Investment, and Wanda Culture Group and its concerted actors jointly hold a 21.1% stake in Wanda Film, both directly and indirectly.

That is to say, the controlling shareholder of Wanda Film is still Wanda Investment. Although Wang Jianlin sold his stake many times, he still retained his status as the actual controller of Wanda Film.

Why is Wang Jianlin selling?

Analysis believes that behind Wang Jianlin’s "selling, selling, selling" is the current financial dilemma that Wanda is facing and the short-term hopelessness of Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management’s listing in Hong Kong stocks and the pressure of repurchase through gambling agreements.

According to the previous Hong Kong IPO application materials, Wanda Commercial Management Group subsidiary Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management is applying for listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. If it cannot be successfully listed by the end of 2023, Wanda Commercial Management Group needs to pay about 30 billion yuan to investors before listing.

As of the end of June 2023, the stock of domestic open market bonds managed by Wanda Commercial was 12.341 billion yuan, and the stock of overseas bonds was about 1.80 billion US dollars.

Wanda has sold at least five Wanda plazas this year. At the end of September, Wanda transferred its Guangxi Beihai Hepu Wanda Plaza to Hepu Wanghe Real Estate, a local real estate company in Beihai; in October, Wanda Commercial Management transferred a 100% stake in Shanghai Wanda Plaza Real Estate Co., Ltd.

On the secondary market, Wanda Film stopped trading on the 6th and closed at 12.45 yuan on the 5th, down 2.05% on the day, and the company’s latest market value was 27.13 billion yuan. As of press time, Hong Kong stocks China Ruyi rose 2.82% to 1.820 Hong Kong dollars, after rising more than 9%.

Ruan Jingtian, who does not play the ancient puppet, is handsome again. The three highlights of "Zhou Chu Except for the Three Evils" hang other movies

On March 1, the movie "Zhou Chu Except for the Three Evils" Douban, which was launched in mainland theaters, achieved a score of 8.2 points, with excellent box office results. In just 5 days, the box office growth rate has exceeded that of the other three films in the Spring Festival.

The scale is not small, and the violent aesthetic is the first impression of many audiences of this film, but if only because of these two points, it is not enough to deserve the high evaluation of the film given by the audience. This crime action film directed by Huang Jingfu and starring Ruan Jingtian, Yuan Fuhua, Chen Yiwen, Wang Jing, Li Liren, Xie Qiong < unk > tells the story of Chen Guilin, a gangster killer who wanted to turn himself in, who was ignored by the police at the police station and decided to kill the two wanted criminals in front of him to get the sense of value he wanted.

The first thing that made "Zhou Zhuan Removal of the Three Evils" gain praise was Ruan Jingtian’s increasingly mature acting skills. He was no longer a young man who starred in "Monga". At the same time, this time, Chen Guilin saved Ruan Jingtian from the audience goodwill he lost when he starred in "Fu Yao".

Due to the plot and makeup of "Fu Shake", his audience’s popularity has dropped a lot. The makeup of "Fu Shake" really wants Ruan Jingtian to stay in his comfort zone. The story is also about love and male condensation, and the story of the pseudo-heroine is not pleasant.

Chen Guilin’s prototype is the legendary killer of the Taiwanese gang Liu Huanrong. At the beginning of the film, Chen Guilin appears at the funeral of the gang boss, eating a box lunch and chatting happily with others. After waiting for the target to appear, he leisurely walks forward and shoots people in front of everyone. After the high-profile murder, he also successfully shakes off the police and flees the scene.

In the movie, he would hold back tears because he was worried about his grandmother’s condition. Facing the half-naked Xiaomei, he would first put on a blanket for her. When he saw Xiaopang spitting black water, he immediately picked him up for medical treatment.

He successfully portrays a complex character like Chen Guilin, revealing the character’s inner world and emotional changes through delicate performances. Ruan Jingtian’s fist-to-meat fight in the movie is equally exciting, and the long-distance chase scene is also enjoyable to watch.

The performance of the other characters in the movie was equally wonderful. In the prison visit scene, the actor Xie Qiong sat like that, and the memories of the vicissitudes of his life were deeply felt. Wang Jing was worthy of being a powerful young actor.

As the Aberdeen actor Yuan Fuhua played the moody and ruthless character of the fugitive, Chen Yiwen played the Venerable with a smile. Tsang Peiyu, who played the Venerable Lover, was sometimes more like the Venerable One than the Venerable One. During the movie, when the Venerable One died and she didn’t run away, she had to play her role, making people feel that she was the boss behind the scenes.

The second highlight is that the plot of the movie is ironic enough. At the beginning of the movie "Removing the Three Harmies in Zhou Chu", each person is given 300 yuan for the appearance fee, which hints at the decline of the Taiwanese gangs, and the spiritual center also satirizes some organizations that generate electricity with love on the surface and speak noble slogans, but in fact are all kinds of dirty and hate organizations behind the scenes. In the movie, the cult killing scene in Zhou Chu is impressive. Chen Guilin is sitting leisurely changing bullets, and the people on the stage are still singing cult songs. Under the bright and warm sun, Chen Guilin is holding a gun and shooting people who have been brainwashed to the point of no return.

The third point is the drama of the story. After Xiaomei was rescued by Chen Guilin from Aberdeen’s hands, Chen Guilin asked her why her mother chose to take the blame for Aberdeen and imprisoned for 15 years. She said that her mother was also rescued by Aberdeen that year. At the beginning, Zhang Guiqing said that Chen Guilin had lung cancer, and in the movie, Chen Guilin kept coughing because of strong psychological suggestions, but at the end of the movie, the person who got lung cancer was actually Zhang Guiqing.

"The Three Harms" is also a movie full of details. The three most wanted criminals correspond to the greedy pigeons, snakes, and pigs, and the watch pattern bought by Chen Guilin’s grandmother is a piglet. The movie also deeply explores the essence of traditional Chinese culture. In the movie, we can see elements such as Guan Gong and the Holy Grail.

In an interview, Mr. Ruan said: "The movies and characters I have encountered in the past year or two have largely forced me to face the loneliness and weakness I had in the past, and forced me to face the unbearable things I had in the past." Regarding the 40-year-old period, he said: "I am also very happy to draw," and hope that Ruan Jingtian will bring us better works in the future.

Avita 12 delivery process continues to accelerate, empowering Avita’s overall delivery record

  According to the official news of Avita Technology, in December 2023, Avita delivered 6,106 units, setting a record high in delivery and achieving outstanding results. Among them, Avita 12, which has just started national delivery, has made outstanding contributions, delivering 2004 units in only 20 days, ranking in the forefront of pure electric cars above 300,000. It can be said that Avita 12 uses an efficient delivery attitude to enable the majority of car owners to accelerate the appreciation of its "smart beauty top stream" charm.

  It is reported that in the first month of its listing on November 10, 2023, the order of Avita 12 exceeded 20,000 units, and it was unanimously favored by many car owners. Counting the charm of this future intelligent luxury model born out of the industry-leading intelligent electric vehicle technology platform CHN, its three characteristics of "top intelligence, top design, and top luxury space" are really eye-catching, which can be called Changan Automobile, Huawei, and Ningde Era to redefine the new standard of luxury in the era of smart cars. In addition, the price range of three configuration models under Avita 12 is 300,800 yuan to 400,800 yuan respectively. Combined with its overall configuration, it can be said that the cost-effective advantage is obvious.

  With the support of Huawei’s high-end intelligent driving system HUAWEI ADS 2.0, Avita 12 shows the industry’s leading intelligent driving strength. In addition, all its models are equipped with 3 lidar as standard, which can provide a horizontal field of view of more than 300 °, powerful lateral 3D spatial perception and high-resolution and high-confidence level detection capabilities. Thanks to these software and hardware configurations, Avita 12 can easily cope with intelligent driving needs in various road conditions without relying on high-precision maps, helping users to achieve worry-free travel.

  It is worth emphasizing that the intelligent driving strength of Avita 12 is not only leading at the moment, in the next 3-5 years, through the OTA upgrade of the software system, it can still bring first-class intelligent experience to the majority of users. According to the statistics released by Avita, at present, Avita’s intelligent driving function has been fully trusted and used by users. The accumulated mileage of intelligent driving is 35 million kilometers, accounting for 23% of the total mileage, which is the first in the industry. Intelligent parking assistance has been called 3.70 million times to help many users solve parking troubles.

  Coupled with the latest good news from Avita Technology, it has become one of the first companies to be approved for a high-speed road conditional autonomous driving (L3) test license. Level 3 autonomous driving is a watershed between "assisted driving" and "autonomous driving", meaning that the driver can "let go", "take off" and "take off the eyes" under certain conditions, and the vehicle can also fully accelerate, steer and brake automatically under certain conditions. This means that Avita 12 users can look forward to one day in the future, can experience the thrill of autonomous driving with Avita 12.

  Today, the national delivery process of Avita 12 is ongoing, constantly meeting the expectations of more users to pick up the car, so that they can feel the pleasure of intelligent travel. In addition, Avita is currently steadily advancing the "going to sea" strategy, so that Avita 12 can continue to release the "wisdom and beauty top" charm on the world stage.

How does Buick achieve brand advancement?

On the eve of the National Day (September 30), a new sub-brand – Buick Avenir was officially launched. According to SAIC GM’s strategic intention, the new brand will be specially built based on Buick’s high-end models, providing consumers with high-end and personalized car needs and exclusive service experience.

Avenir concept car built by Buick’s global team

In fact, it is not surprising that SAIC GM has taken this step. The launch of Buick Avenir is a more substantial step for Buick to advance to the high-end field in recent years. In fact, Buick has launched high-end models such as Rongyu and other high-end models before. At the Boao Forum for Asia in 2008, the organizers chose Buick Boulevard as the "only designated VIP car". Buick has also been leveraging cultural and artistic platforms to enhance brand perception, and a series of brand promotion and sponsorship activities have indeed effectively solidified the foundation of Buick’s brand’s continuous improvement.

The practice of providing high-end models through the release of sub-brands on the basis of existing models is actually not unique to Buick. For example, the version of the model, such as the Vignale version, and then looking back, you can also find the Ford Ghia brand. If we expand the definition of sub-brands from high-end to sports, we will also include such things as the Polaris series, series, etc. The case has proved that the introduction of sub-brands can quickly increase brand influence and model awareness.

However, all of this is also conditional.

First of all,The premise of enhancing brand influence through the launch of high-end sub-brands is that the brand itself requires basic brand power.

When we turn back the clock of history, we always find the intersection of Buick and the upper class. General Zhang Xueliang’s special car was a Buick, and President Roosevelt’s gift to Qingling was a black Buick, Premier Zhou’s exclusive car or a Buick.

As one of the early brands to enter the Chinese market, the Buick brand has gained a certain reputation in the luxury car market in the early years by virtue of the advantages of imported cars and the early domestic Buick Century and other models. Subsequently, with the launch of a series of family sedans such as Buick, the Buick brand has also completed a wider coverage of the brand, realizing the transformation of Wang Xie in the old days and flying into the homes of ordinary people. After more than ten years of hard work, the Buick brand has become one of the most influential mainstream brands in the Chinese auto market. Many consumers regard Buick as a mid-to-high-end brand, which is the basis for the brand to continue to improve.

In recent years, Buick has improved its market share and brand span through the rapid update of models and the continuous enrichment of its product lineup. At present, the Buick brand has completed the layout of three major car series: high-end comfortable models, high-end coupes, and high-end SUVs, and has opened the product layout of "Buick Blue" new energy vehicles, which constitutes the first premise for the release of the Avenir sub-brand.

Secondly,Brands must have sufficient product strength and sales to support the development of high-end sub-brands.

Compared with the parent brand, the sub-brand is still a niche after all, not to mention that the sub-brand of Buick Avenir still relies on the development idea of the parent brand’s existing models. Therefore, this puts forward higher requirements for the sales and product strength of the parent brand.

Let’s take a look at Buick’s recent market performance.

According to relevant data, in the first three quarters of this year, the brand completed sales of 870,104 vehicles, an increase of 26.89% year-on-year. In the most recent August and September, the SAIC-GM Buick brand completed monthly sales of more than 100,000 vehicles for two consecutive months. In terms of sub-models, 26,448 vehicles were sold in September, 8,999 vehicles were sold, 8,000 vehicles were sold, 36,386 vehicles were sold, 17,992 vehicles were sold, and 56,333 vehicles were sold in the first three quarters. Among them, Envision’s sales in September increased by 82.2% year-on-year, setting a record high in sales for the month. The cumulative sales in January-September reached 18,028 vehicles, successfully occupying the first position in the joint venture SUV market.

The SUV market is currently the fastest growing market in the domestic market. According to the statistics of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the average growth rate of the SUV market is more than 50%. In this segment, the Buick Envision is in the first camp of the sales rankings and is one of the few joint venture SUVs in the top ten SUV sales rankings.

From the product point of view, the success of the Buick Envision lies in cleverly grasping the connection point between the mid-range SUV and the compact SUV, which is the pain point of the joint venture SUV market. Take the mainstream compact SUV as an example. Under the standard styling ratio, the compact SUV, especially the joint venture brand’s compact SUV, often has the disadvantage of small size and space. The mid-range SUV above this has caused young consumers to have some concerns because of its excessive size. The appearance of the Envision just solves this contradiction.

In fact, I think the Envision’s positioning is still very forward-looking. This level of SUV is a huge market that is rapidly heating up, and in addition to the Envision, there will be more models to join the competition in the future. For example, the Kodiaq just unveiled at the Paris International Motor Show this year, and the new generation of long-wheelbase Tiguan that is about to debut, the new generation of fully enlarged size, and so on.

In the large MPV market, no one can shake the position of the Buick GL8. The success of the Buick GL8 lies in providing a very rich selection of product camps in the MPV market to adapt to diverse consumer needs. The upcoming new generation GL8 also realizes comprehensive coverage from the business MPV market to the high-end private MPV market. Such volume is rare in the current MPV market. For example, the smaller size has always been a household attribute that is larger than the business attribute. In addition, from the perspective of the product, in the MPV market, the Buick GL8’s driving texture will better fit the market’s perception of MPV, including the smoothness of the power, the comfort of the chassis, and so on.

From a design perspective, the success of the new LaCrosse lies in the deepening of American design. The design of the new generation of LaCrosse brings the design of traditional American luxury cars into the design language. The interior pays attention to a comprehensive sense of wrapping and the use of warm colors. In the exterior design, sculptural aesthetics are integrated into the design to stretch the lines of the whole car. The posture of the new LaCrosse is highly consistent with the positioning of its mainstream consumer population, which is the key to its success.

In the family car market, New Yinglang has been a dark horse since its launch last year. The key to success in this market segment is actually two points. To create a well-balanced sedan under a good brand, New Yinglang has indeed achieved this. On the other hand, Valeant is on this basis to emphasize the quality of the vehicle itself and better cater to the overall positioning of the Buick brand.

In terms of the application of new technologies, the Buick brand has always been a pioneer in in-vehicle technology upgrades. For example, the first generation of the OnStar system pioneered in-vehicle intelligence. At present, Buick is also a loyal fan of green intelligent technology. The latest generation of in-vehicle intelligent interconnection system integrates 4GLTE, Apple CarPlay, Baidu CarLife and other interconnection functions. And this series of Internet technologies has been rapidly popularized in Buick’s models, providing users with a car experience in the Internet + era. Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of the overall sales volume of the Buick brand, the positioning of sub-models and the application of new technologies, the Buick brand has the scale to support a high-end sub-brand.

And thirdly,The improvement of service level is a necessary condition to support the development of high-end sub-brands.

If the product itself is regarded as the hardware facilities that support the development of high-end sub-brands, then the service is the software facilities behind it. Especially for high-end sub-brands like Buick Avenir that rely on the development of the parent brand, the premise of its birth is that the service of the parent brand meets its high-end needs.

In the field of after-sales services, Buick has indeed always paid attention to the shaping of brand perception. In 2002, Buick created China’s first after-sales services brand "Buick Care", which brought automotive after-sales services from traditional passive services to the era of active care, emphasizing the initiative of after-sales services. In May this year, Buick Care released a new brand identity and launched a series of innovative service projects. To comprehensively improve the service experience and provide users with a more contemporary service concept, the upgrade of "Buick Care" is also an important step to enhance the value of the Buick brand. With the launch of the Avenir sub-brand, it is expected that Buick Care will also launch exclusive services for the Avenir sub-brand.

It is not difficult to find that the release of the Buick Avenir sub-brand is accompanied by the overall improvement of the Buick brand’s brand influence, product strength and service capabilities, which is also an inevitable development of the brand. In turn, the release of the Avenir sub-brand will further meet the needs of the Buick brand in the high-end consumer market after the brand power is enhanced, which complement each other.

So, to answer the question raised by the title of this article, the answer is yes. For Buick, now is indeed the time to break through. Of course, shaping a new sub-brand also requires the baptism of the market and time, we will wait and see.

After Xiaomi released the smart electric car SU7 last Thursday (March 28th), 64-year-old retiree Qing Chang placed an order at the first time and ordered a Pro version of 245,900 yuan (RMB, the same below, S $46,690) for his son who works in Zhuhai, Guangdong.


Xiaomi automobile conference

Qing Yun told Lianhe Zaobao that he has been a Xiaomi mobile phone user for many years, and there are also many Xiaomi household appliances at home. "I went for a test drive two days ago and felt that the appearance was beautiful and the performance was worthy of this price. Although Xiaomi is building a car for the first time, I have confidence in their quality control. "

In the past week, among the more than 100,000 consumers who booked Xiaomi Automobile, there were not only senior "rice noodles" like Qing Chang, but also many people who booked and retired. Xiaomi, who broke into the new energy vehicle market with unprecedented heat, faced doubts and disputes while detonating traffic.

The first question Xiaomi received after its listing was its real sales. According to official data, after the SU7 was opened for booking, the order (the order for paying the deposit) exceeded 10,000 in four minutes, reached 50,000 in 27 minutes, and exceeded 88,898 units in 24 hours, exceeding market expectations.


Xiaomi automobile set 88898 sets for 24 hours.

However, unlike the "big" deposit in general car orders, the 5,000 yuan deposit of Xiaomi Auto can be refunded unconditionally within seven days, and the order will be automatically locked after the deadline, and no refund is supported. In other words, the number of lock orders can better reflect the real sales volume of Xiaomi Automobile.

The special operation of refundable deposit has caused many people to follow suit and place orders, and later they can’t refund the deposit because they mistakenly touched the "lock the order in advance". On the second day after the release of SU7, the topic of "Xiaomi Auto can’t refund the deposit" was posted on Weibo Hot Search, and some users set up rights protection groups for this purpose.

Car blogger Sun Shaojun Tuesday (April 2)
It is estimated that 72 hours after Xiaomi Automobile went on the market, the average store accumulated 1800 to 2000 orders, the lock rate was between 35% and 40%, and the unsubscribe rate was as high as 40%.

Xiaomi official did not confirm the authenticity of the above data. Xiaomi founder Lei Jun disclosed on Wednesday (3rd) on the delivery day of the first batch of SU7 that SU7 had received more than 100,000 orders, and the number of orders locked had exceeded 40,000. The lock rate was in line with the forecast.

Shanghai hardware engineer Gao Weize (26 years old) also placed an order on the day of the release of SU7. However, he later learned that the original version he had booked would be delivered in a week, and he had not obtained the qualification of Shanghai new energy vehicle license required to pick up the car, so he could not keep the order at that time. At this time, if you change to other versions, you have to wait for nearly half a year to pick up the car.

After several trade-offs, Gao Weize cancelled the Xiaomi order and changed to another China electric vehicle brand. When interviewed, he said that the price of krypton is the same as that of SU7, but it can be delivered within two months, just in time for him to apply for a license.

The production capacity of Xiaomi Automobile is another focus of the market. Goldman Sachs, an investment bank, predicted in its research report this week that the average delivery cycle of SU7 has been extended from five to eight weeks to 18 to 21 weeks. According to another data, the delivery cycle of the Max version with the longest waiting time has come to 29 to 32 weeks. In other words, car owners who book the Max version now will not be able to pick up the car until the end of this year.

From Tesla to Huawei, sales of new energy vehicles have declined because the production capacity of new energy vehicles can’t keep up with the growth of orders. Market participants believe that whether Xiaomi can cross the "productivity hell" in the next few months determines how long its hot sales can last.


Tesla automobile

With the addition of Xiaomi, the new energy vehicle market has set off a new round of price war. Huawei, Krypton, Weilai, Tucki and other models with prices ranging from 200,000 yuan to 300,000 yuan have reduced their prices in a week. But this "catfish" that stirs up the market also has to bear the initial losses.

Lei Jun said frankly after last week’s press conference that "every car sold by Xiaomi is a loss". He took Tesla Model 3 as the pricing reference, and set the price of SU7 at 215,900 yuan, which is 30,000 yuan cheaper than Model 3, which means that the pricing of Xiaomi car should not only make consumers feel sincere, but also be able to bear the losses.

Is it a strong car company or an industry trend to pay for unlocking new functions?

  Want the wheel steering angle to be larger, the seat to be heated automatically and the vehicle to be started remotely &hellip; &hellip; The functions that come with these cars don’t cost extra but can’t be used. Recently, the paid subscription function launched by several car companies has sparked heated discussions. Netizens spit out: Will the accelerator pedal and steering wheel also be paid for subscription in the future? I even questioned that this was arbitrary charges. What do car companies, industries and lawyers think about this?

  reveal

  Mercedes-Benz remote start-up renewal fee is 898 yuan.

  "The validity period of your remote interconnection service is coming to an end. From now on, the highest discount for remote products is 400 yuan, and you can enjoy the three-year remote engine start with the original price of 1,298 yuan for only 898 yuan &hellip; &hellip;” Recently, some netizens broke the news that when his vehicle remote start function was about to expire, he received such a "preferential" message from Mercedes-Benz.

  The Beijing Youth Daily reporter noticed that this is not the first time that Mercedes-Benz has been exposed to the function of using vehicle configuration and needs to pay extra. Earlier, a Mercedes-Benz owner also received a short message reminding him that Mercedes-Benz’s brand-new high-tech customized navigation has been launched, and it can be upgraded in a 4S shop. It only takes "1998 yuan" in three years.

  In July, Mercedes-Benz launched the rear-wheel steering payment, and it is understood that the EQS 450++Pioneer version of Mercedes-Benz launched a "paid subscription" project. After paying 4,998 yuan, the owner can enjoy the rear-wheel steering function for one year. The active steering angle of the rear wheel of the vehicle will increase from 4.5 degrees to 10 degrees, and the turning radius will be reduced to 10.9 meters. For eligible models, a three-month free experience will be provided, and the functions that come with the vehicle will cost extra money to use. These operations have to make consumers suspect that they have been "cut with leeks".

  respond

  I will remind you before the three-year free period expires.

  Mercedes-Benz customer service said that the basic service will be free for three years after the remote interconnection service function is activated from the date of car purchase and invoice issuance, otherwise it will not be used, so the owner will receive the corresponding text message. The remote interconnection service has the functions of checking the vehicle status and remotely unlocking. This service is related to the model and configuration of the vehicle, some can be purchased separately, and some can’t.

  As for how to know in advance that you need to pay in order to use this function, the customer service said that in general, the owner is notified by SMS. "The Internet store will send a text message to remind that the service is about to expire. If this function is enabled, there will be a text message reminder when it is about to expire."

  The customer service also told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that it was not clear whether the subsequent charges for this service were stated in the car purchase contract. "This belongs to the sales process." Because you need real-name authentication to activate when you buy a car, it is through the system operation in the dealership, so there will be a reminder of payment when you activate it, which is usually informed by sales.

  She also suggested that car owners go to the store of Mercedes ME APP bound by real-name authentication to check the functions and use of the corresponding paid products. In "My Garage", you can see the basic services that the vehicle has been activated, such as the remote start that can be used for three years for free, and you will receive SMS reminders when it is about to expire.

  industry

  A number of car companies test water and pay subscriptions.

  According to public reports, as early as 2016, Tesla proposed software subscription services such as fully automatic driving and seat heating. All ex-factory models have embedded automatic driving hardware, and users can choose whether to turn on this function according to their needs. In 2021, autonomous driving will be officially launched at a monthly fee of $199 per month. By the end of the second quarter of 2022, more than 100,000 Tesla owners had used the fully automatic driving test version function in North America. It can be said that Tesla pioneered the mode of hardware embedded+paid activation software.

  According to its financial report, in 2021, Tesla’s services and other businesses, including autonomous driving software, achieved revenue of 3.802 billion US dollars, up 65% year-on-year, accounting for 7.06% of the total revenue. Software payment has gradually become an important part of Tesla’s revenue.

  Many car companies began to reproduce the business model of paid subscription system, and rose from software to hardware.

  BMW has pre-installed hardware in some vehicles when they leave the factory. Recently, it announced the launch of paid subscription services such as seat heating, steering wheel heating, CarPlay and safe assisted driving in countries such as South Korea, which also caused heated discussion. However, BMW’s paid projects currently only exist in overseas markets. It is understood that BMW once launched a project in China that cost money to choose CarPlay and had to subscribe again when it expired, but it ended up being cracked.

  In addition, domestic new car manufacturers Weilai and Tucki have also joined the ranks of offering paid subscriptions. However, at present, consumers generally hold a wait-and-see and even skeptical attitude towards the paid subscription services launched by car companies.

  investigation

  Which is more cost-effective, paid subscription or single purchase?

  Regarding the problems behind car subscription payment, Chang Yan, who is certified as a well-known car blogger, said in a live broadcast entitled "Peeking into" Car Payment Subscription "that on the one hand, consumers are more accepting of software payment than hardware. For example, the rear wheel steering belongs to the hardware of the car, which is already in the car. If you have to spend money to use it, you will feel unreasonable. On the other hand, the services provided by paid subscriptions are relatively rudimentary and basic, and cannot be differentiated, and consumers will think that car companies are "cutting leeks".

  "In fact, consumers are willing to pay for autonomous driving, and they also bought hardware first. Then pay for the software. For example, Tesla, the self-driving chip actually paid the fee when buying a car. " He suggested that you can calculate an account for the paid function, and whether it is more economical to use it according to the subscription system than to buy it alone. For example, BMW recently launched a paid subscription package for seat heating, and the price is several hundred yuan per month. The buyout function needs 20 thousand yuan and can be used for about 100 months. In most parts of China, the use of the heated seat function means two or three months in winter, and even some areas are hot all the year round and do not need the heating function. If this is calculated, the subscription function may be more cost-effective.

  Chang Yan said that he personally prefers to pay for subscriptions, which can be stopped at any time. Try some functions before you decide whether you need to spend money to subscribe. If you don’t want to subscribe, you can turn it off.

  remind

  Crack hidden dangers of software for free.

  For paid subscriptions, many netizens are worried about whether the price will increase or whether members will have to spend money to become super VIP. Some people even said that in order to get free use, it is completely possible to crack the software.

  Cracking the car has long appeared, including Tesla. Chang Yan introduced that some were hacked and some were broken by some hardware. Although this may bring more playability and performance improvement, it will make the car worthless. Tesla officials will lock these up and no longer provide services and related warranties. Moreover, some cracks are irreversible, which may damage the battery and other hardware of the car, thus affecting the value of the car.

  Chang Yan also said that cars are related to our life safety. If they are cracked by unofficial institutions or third parties, there will be some security risks. If there is a problem and then go to the official repair, it will bring a lot of trouble, not worth the loss. For pricing, I believe the market will have a fair judgment, and with the development of the industry, it will gradually standardize.

  interpret

  If clearly informed or agreed, it is difficult to identify infringement.

  Liu Bin, a lawyer of Beijing Zhongwen Law Firm, told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that from the current industry situation, there are two main ways to consume vehicle hardware: one is optional configuration, and the hardware configuration that consumers want is selected through prior agreement between consumers and manufacturers, and consumers make a one-time payment; The other is to subscribe to services in the form of subscription packages. With the further development of vehicle electronic functions, many car companies have launched such subscription services, such as active rear wheel steering, car entertainment, acceleration package and remote temperature control. Because there are a large number of electronic auxiliary functions in vehicles now, some car owners will not even use these functions after purchasing the vehicles, which can effectively reduce the cost of car purchase for car owners who do not use these functions frequently; For car owners who pay attention to these functions, they can purchase them selectively according to their needs. This subscription method increases consumers’ choice space, but this choice should be based on consumers’ right to know.

  Liu Bin believes that the subscription payment method is an option for the payment method of vehicle hardware. It is difficult to identify the damage to consumers’ right to know on the premise that the dealer clearly informs consumers of this payment method and content or there is a clear agreement in the contract signed by both parties. If we only charge consumers by subscribing to the service, it just changes the way of charging. If there are no unfair price behaviors such as manipulating market prices and raising prices in disguise, it is hard to say that this kind of charging method is arbitrary.

  If the services provided by car companies obviously violate the principle of fairness, it may infringe on consumers’ right to choose independently and fair trade. For example, a car company’s car entertainment service package subscription agreement stipulates: "We can change these terms at any time, change, add or delete the service or the functions contained therein, and also change the charging price of the service." This agreement expands the rights of car companies, exempts major obligations, and is suspected of infringing consumers’ right to fair trade and independent choice. This group/reporter Song Xia

You can’t wipe the tears of history.

(Kangxi’s biological mother, empress Xiao Kangzhang, Tong Jiashi)

When Emperor Kangxi was a child, life was very bad.

When his mother Tong Jiashi gave birth to him, she was just an ordinary princess, and her status was quite low. Even if her status was low, she was not very popular at ordinary times.

Kangxi’s father is Shunzhi.

As the whole world knows, brother Shunzhi was a favorite of Dong Hubei Princess, and later Dong Hubei Princess died. That Shunzhi was uncomfortable, and it was not fragrant to eat or sweet to sleep. He was in a trance all day, Lacrimosa.

Moreover, we know that during these years when Shunzhi became emperor, his uncle Dourgen was in charge for the first half of the time, and then Dourgen died in a traffic accident. In the second half, he was bound by his mother, Empress Xiao Zhuang. The emperor was depressed politically in his career, and finally he was accompanied by such a confidante as Dong E Fei. As a result, Dong E Fei also died. Shunzhi really couldn’t stand it, and once wanted to.

To sum up, we can draw a conclusion that the emperor shunzhi has been in a huge psychological crisis during his short imperial career.

He can’t even control himself, and he can’t take good care of himself, let alone how much care he has for a son born to an ordinary princess.

Moreover, the child suffered from smallpox shortly after birth.

Smallpox is a severe infectious disease, which is very old. It appeared about 4,000 years ago. It has a rapid onset and strong symptoms, and it is contagious, and the mortality rate is even higher.

According to some data, smallpox was rampant in Asia, Europe, Africa, America and other places. In Europe in the 18th century, 400,000 people died of smallpox every year. In the past 1000 years, the number of people who died of smallpox in the world accounted for one tenth of the world’s total population.

In 1980, the World Health Organization announced that smallpox virus had been eliminated, but the problem is that although smallpox virus has disappeared, people have not yet found a specific drug for this disease.

Therefore, smallpox is still an incurable disease for human beings, and it can only be prevented by vaccination.

(The wax figure of Emperor Shunzhi in the Summer Resort)

Modern medicine has not completely conquered this virus, not to mention ancient times, and even the emperor shunzhi later died of smallpox virus.

Adults can’t resist smallpox, not to mention Kangxi, who was still in infancy.

Generally speaking, when the prince is suffering from such a serious disease, the father must be in a hurry, and more importantly, he must be concerned and cared for. But in fact, as soon as Kangxi was diagnosed, he was immediately taken out of the Forbidden City with arms and legs and sent to the palace for raising.

To put it mildly is to raise, but to put it mildly is to abandon Kangxi’s children.

Since you have smallpox, it is tantamount to a critically ill notice, so don’t worry about whether you are a prince or a prince, you can only live and die, and you are rich in the sky.

Between life and death, it is so cruel.

People will cheer for the birth of Kangxi, but people will not make more efforts for Kangxi infected with smallpox.

Generally speaking, such a small child must have died of smallpox, but it seems to be God’s help. Apart from leaving some spots on his face, Kangxi did not have any serious problems and miraculously recovered.

Everything is often lost in the east corner, and everything is harvested. After Kangxi recovered from smallpox, he gained permanent immunity to this terrible virus, and this factor became a key point for Kangxi to become an emperor in the future.

Shunzhi did not have a crown prince before his death, because he was only twenty-four years old when he died. No one thought that the first emperor after the Qing army entered the customs should die so young.

On his deathbed, Shunzhi consulted a missionary named Tang Ruowang on the question of who to pass the throne to.

(Tang Ruowang)

This Tang Ruowang, a German, came to China when he was in the Ming Dynasty. After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, he has been serving in the imperial court, and his relationship with Shunzhi is quite good. They are both teachers and friends, and they have deep feelings. In Tang Ruowang’s view, smallpox is rampant, and there is a danger for everyone. In this case, the first factor to inherit the throne is no longer whether Chu Jun is wise or not, but whether he has fresh vitality.

Shunzhi is about to die of smallpox, so the new owner of this empire in the future must not die of this terrible disease, so Kangxi was pushed out.

When Kangxi ascended the throne, he was only eight years old. At the age of eight, he lost his father. At the age of ten, he lost his mother.

When he was a child, he was kept outside the palace when he was able to enjoy himself. Now he is a little older and wants to find a father and mother, but his parents have already driven the crane to the west.

He didn’t feel much when his father died in Shunzhi, but when his mother Tong Jiashi was seriously ill, Kangxi was quite sad.

When he waited on his mother, he accompanied him before bed in the morning and evening, personally gave medicine, and stayed in his mother’s palace for several days, without even changing his clothes. For several days and nights, he was out of his eyes.

When Kangxi was ill, there were only a few little eunuchs waiting on him outside the palace. He didn’t get the care of his relatives even for a day. However, at this moment, he just wanted to give his mother unlimited care, just to keep her by his side.

However, mother still left.

For Kangxi, this was a great blow. He arranged a grand mourning hall for his mother, and he stayed awake all night, crying and wailing, and couldn’t get in all day.

(Portrait of Emperor Kangxi in his later years)

Later, when Kangxi recalled these years in his later years, he couldn’t help but leave such a sigh:

Parents’ knees, not a day trying.

However, Kangxi didn’t know that he would experience such pain again in the future.

When Kangxi was a child, his only impression of his relatives was his grandmother, Empress Xiao Zhuang.

As the wife of Emperor Taizong of Qing Dynasty, the mother of Emperor Shunzhi of Qing Dynasty and the grandmother of Emperor Kangxi, Xiao Zhuang’s life is legendary.

Because, Xiao Zhuang took two generations of kings, he began to reign as a child, so in the early years of Shunzhi, Xiao Zhuang had to pick up the outline to assist Shunzhi, and when Kangxi began to reign, she had to play the role of listening to politics.

Just like Lv Wu, just like Liu Chu, just like Feng Taihou in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Xiao Zhuang’s life was closely blended with the Qing Dynasty, and also projected with her son Shunzhi and grandson Kangxi.

To support the emperor, it will inevitably be contaminated with power. However, Empress Xiao Zhuang is not in power, especially for Kangxi, who has always shown a kind of broad-minded, loving and peaceful emotion.

At that time, she assisted Emperor Taizong to achieve great achievements, and even there was a story about her surrender to Hong Chengchou. However, at the last step of great achievements, Huang Taiji fell in front of Shanhaiguan.

Later, she raised her toddler son Shunzhi, but who expected that a white-haired man would end up sending a black-haired man.

Now, Xiao Zhuang devoted all his life’s efforts to his grandson Kangxi.

For Xiao Zhuang, Kangxi is a summary of her life memories, and for Kangxi, his grandfather Xiao Zhuang is one of the few close relatives in this world.

(Xiao Zhuang’s casual portrait in his later years)

Xiao Zhuang, who is full of political mind, pays attention to the cultivation of Emperor Kangxi since she was a child. She often holds Kangxi in her arms and tells him about the hardships of Emperor Taizong’s starting a business and keeping his job, and constantly urges Kangxi’s studies, royal laws and etiquette rules … It can be said that Xiao Zhuang directly or indirectly taught Kangxi how to be an emperor, how to develop his own personal habits and even his usual hobbies. The emperor will be influenced by Empress Xiao Zhuang.

Under such an experience, this pair of grandparents and grandchildren formed an extraordinary friendship.

When Kangxi was in his prime, he went out to fight. Every time he went to a place, he would write to the Empress Dowager to greet him. When he met the delicious local seasonal fruits and vegetables, he would immediately send them back to the palace to ask the Empress Dowager to taste them, so as to learn about the local customs and the emperor’s own experiences. He would even tell them in a letter and present them to the palace from time to time.

Emperor Kangxi once said: Without the grandmother, the Empress Dowager, it would never have been established today.

If there were no Empress Dowager (referring to Xiao Zhuang), there would be no me today, let alone the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty.

However, after three dynasties, the strange queen mother couldn’t survive the prime of Kangxi, and soon she died suddenly.

Everyone in this world is actually like this. Everyone you meet can only accompany you for a period of time, whether parents, brothers, lovers or friends. They can only accompany you for a while, and sooner or later they will be separated.

Kangxi likes reading history books and understanding culture. He understands a lot of truth, and standing in this position of the emperor, he can feel many feelings that ordinary people can’t taste.

However, philosophy is, after all, a superstructure. When you have nothing to do, reading it can be beneficial to your body and mind and exercise your brain. However, when illness comes, all knowledge seems to be useless to Kangxi.

After Xiao Zhuang’s death, Emperor Kangxi set up a spiritual shed outside the Queen Mother’s bedroom, and for many years, he stayed awake, forgot to sit on his shoes, and lay down without a seat, only to be persuaded by ministers to come out.

Since Xiao Zhuang’s death, the emperor can’t mention the deeds of the Empress Dowager, but whenever he does, he always bursts into tears. This yearning has affected the emperor’s body, making him dizzy all day and his health abnormal to some extent.

(Statue of Emperor Kangxi)

After a lifetime of chaos, his father, mother and grandmother finally left, and he finally became a real loner.

The yearning for my grandmother was so painful that it accompanied the emperor’s life.

It was recorded in A Record of Emperor Sheng Zuren of Qing Dynasty:

In the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi, Ding You’s birthday was celebrated in December … That is, it has been thirty years since the Empress Dowager visited the sky, and the emperor spoke to the courtiers the day before yesterday, crying like rain, and his grief was overwhelming.

The 56-year-old Kangxi experienced many vicissitudes. His face was haggard and his figure was rickety, but he still often dreamed that his grandmother, Empress Xiao Zhuang, was holding his hand in his dream, pacing slowly in the ancient and magnificent Imperial Palace Forbidden City, one step, two steps and three steps, just walking slowly, as if the road would never end.

Kangxi was born in the capital and grew up in the capital. He never went outside Shanhaiguan to feed horses or catch fish, but he knew that his grandmother had left a dashing posture on the Horqin grassland.

The moon sets and the stars are sparse and the sky is unclear, and the solitary lamp shines alone.

It’s hard to get together in a dream, but when I wake up, I’m full of tears.

That beautiful past has been a snap of fingers for thirty years.
