BYD’s annual Wang fried in 2024, Z9GT & Tengshi Z9 opened pre-sale, the price range is 33.98-41 9,800, the new car will provide and pure electric version for users to choose. Among them, Tengshi Z9GT is a sedan in the form of hunting, which will be officially released in September and delivered immediately after listing. Tengshi Z9 is a sedan in the form of a sedan, which will be listed and delivered by the end of the year.

What is the Easy Tripartite Platform?

Tengshi Z9GT will be the world’s first Easy Tripartite Platform. Easy Tripartite is the master of BYD technology, fully integrating the advantages of top technologies such as fifth-generation DM technology and e-platform 3.0 Evo. The platform has four core technologies, namely three-motor independent drive technology, rear-wheel dual-motor independent steering technology, VMC vehicle motion control technology, and all CTB battery body integration technology.

At the application level, the Easy Three-way Platform can achieve 9 core functions, including extreme steering, compass U-turn, easy three-way parking, high-speed tire burst stability control, low-attachment road stabilization system, intelligent crab line, internal eight-brake stabilization, reversing stability, and radar active avoidance.

For example, the Z9GT’s 5.2-meter length may deter some drivers, who feel that it is inconvenient to travel through alleys with a large body size. But with the blessing of the Easy Three-Party Platform, the addition of dual-motor independent steering at the rear wheels can achieve two-way 20-degree steering, making the Z9GT’s minimum turning radius only 4.62 meters, which is similar to driving a small car to turn a corner.

In comparison, a Porsche with a similar body size will have a minimum turning radius that is a full meter longer than the Z9GT.

The compass turn-around is also a representative technology of the Tengshi Z9GT. Its principle is to combine braking, torque vector control and rear wheel steering to lock a single front wheel as a fulcrum, and apply torque in different directions to the rear wheel in the "outer eight" attitude, so that the vehicle rotates around the fulcrum wheel, realizing a custom direction and a compass turn around any front wheel at any angle of 0-360 °. In short, in the broken road or the environment where the space is too small to turn around, the compass turn-around is suitable for use, which is much more convenient than the driver’s hard work to reverse and exit.

In addition, with the technical support of the three parties, the Z9GT can also achieve the world’s first elk test result, reaching a data of 93.6 km/h. I will ask if you are exaggerating.

Some netizens may have no idea about the 93.6 km/h elk test result. Let me explain it to you this way. The better the result, the more proof it can help the vehicle perform extreme driving scenarios, that is, the higher the upper limit of the chassis, the more it can ensure the safety of the occupants.

In this extension, let me give another example. For example, in the event of a sudden high-speed road burst, the Z9GT can improve the stability of the vehicle during a flat tire from the three dimensions of cloud carriage, driving, and braking. Even in extreme scenarios such as slippery conditions, it can also ensure the stability of the vehicle’s driving and braking. And this speed limit can be 140km/h. What needs to be warmly reminded is that it is safe to drive and do not speed.

In addition, there is another usage scenario that I think is very suitable for novice drivers, and that is the smart parking of Easy Three. Its ability to integrate compass turn-around and smart parking, using image vision fusion and high-precision positioning control algorithms, can easily park in extreme side, extreme broken road and other scenarios, and the path planning and other algorithms are all self-developed by the full stack. It is said that the parking efficiency can be improved by 65%, which is very practical.

How is the performance?

The Z9GT will offer pure electric and plug-in versions, with three front and rear motors and electric four-wheel drive as standard. The version will consist of a 2.0T turbocharged engine and motor, with a total power of 640kW, a 100-kilometer acceleration time of 3.6 seconds, a maximum battery life of 1100km, and a fuel consumption of about 5L. You must know that this is a D-class luxury car with a length of about 5.2 meters. It is really not easy to achieve this result.

The total power of the motor of the pure electric model reached 710kW, which was 966 horsepower, which was close to 1,000 horsepower, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers was 3.4 seconds, which was very exaggerated. The battery was made of lithium iron phosphate, and the maximum cruising range reached 630km.

In terms of braking distance, the new car’s 100-kilometer braking distance can reach 32.6 meters, which should be said to be a very outstanding one among luxury D-class cars.

Where else is luxury reflected?

In terms of the chassis, the new car is equipped with a dual-cavity air suspension, which can adjust the softness and hardness of the suspension according to the needs of the car. Although I have not yet experienced the effect of the real car, I believe that the chassis texture must be not bad. In addition, I will also participate in the test drive of the Z9GT in early September, and then share with you the experience of its driving and chassis.

In terms of smart driving, the stacking material is also very exaggerated. I will list a few data for your reference: 2 lidars, 5 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, 14 cameras, which can be said to be fully armed. It is also equipped with the function of BAS 3.0 +, which can realize high-speed navigation (no map in the country), automatic parking and AEB automatic emergency braking when it is listed; in addition, by the end of 2024, it can also realize city navigation (no map in the country) and valet parking.

In addition, the Tengshi Z9GT is also equipped with 2 car refrigerators. Equipping a car refrigerator is not a particularly new thing, but there are 2 refrigerators in the car, which is really rare. In my impression, only the Tengshi Z9 series has 2 refrigerators, other models should not have them, and netizens are welcome to correct and communicate. In addition, the refrigerator also uses the industry’s first air conditioner compressor direct cooling technology, which can significantly reduce the noise in the car. As for the actual performance, I will do a real test for you after I get the real car.

In fact, the car seats and interior materials are also a major highlight of it, and the space is limited. Next time, I will explain to you how luxurious its interior is.

conclusion

The Z9GT has 24 world-leading technologies, such as hybrid CTB integrated body technology, air-conditioning refrigerator shared compression technology, Divale 26 lifting speakers, etc.; there are 47 world-leading technologies, such as 15 ° crab angle, 100 kilometers braking 32.6 meters; in addition, there are 40 unique technologies of the same level, such as road preview, 10-screen interconnected smart cockpit, etc., so, do you still think that the starting price of 339,800 is expensive? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area.

"My True Friend"　　

A group of fashion blockbusters shot by Angelababy, Deng Lun, and Zhu Yilong together with producer and chief producer Jia Yiqun has recently been exposed. The windows are bright and clean, and the letter paper shows the fragrant tea curling. Angelababy, Deng Lun, and Zhu Yilong are in the study, in the restaurant, on the sofa or empty themselves, or return to their true selves, and show all the good expectations people have for home with a smile. The play takes real estate as the topic, and uses the perspective of ordinary people to depict the baptism and embarrassment faced by real estate industry practitioners in real life, transferring positive energy to the audience between the collision of dreams and reality.

Bazaar blockbuster is online　　Angelababy Deng Lun Zhu Yilong found the most precious thing in life

The Chinese nation has attached great importance to the family since ancient times. "Family members sit idly and the lights are amiable" depicts people’s best yearning and expectation for home. The latest fashion blockbuster exposed by the TV series "My True Friend" is inspired by this. The shooting location is selected in the study, sofa, dining table and other common life scenes. Angelababy, Deng Lun, Zhu Yilong or smile sweetly, or lean against the window to look out, or think thoughtfully. Gathering is a joy and a smile, and scattering is relaxed and natural. The casual and smart dressing fashion complements the avant-garde and modern interior decoration, elevating the audience’s aesthetic to a new height, and the high quality and fashion sense of the series are beyond doubt.

The relaxed and casual shooting environment at home made the three stars unload the fatigue of work and present the most natural and casual state. In the video exposed together that day, Angelababy, Deng Lun, and Zhu Yilong took the initiative to open up and chat about their roles. "The dream we have planted in our hearts for a long time is also an unpredictable loneliness. We are bruised all over for perfection." Cheng Zhenzhen, Shao Pengcheng, and Jing Ran have been searching for the most precious thing in their hearts. Like most young people today, the process of chasing dreams is always confused and painful, but as Angelababy said: "I still believe that the most beautiful thing is to meet by chance," which not only gives the best answer but also makes people look forward to what kind of situation the three will meet their "most precious".

"My True Friend"

Small people have big dreams too　　"My True Friend" depicts ordinary people’s vision of a better life　

"My True Friend" focuses on the real estate industry, and uses the perspective of ordinary people to delicately and realistically depict the baptism and embarrassment faced by real life practitioners in the real life. In order to demonstrate the excellence of the details of the play, the entire production team deliberately starts from the details and creates "down-to-earth" little characters. The real estate agents represented by Cheng Zhenzhen and Shao Pengcheng are the most ordinary people in the workplace and also have the most ordinary troubles. As a newcomer to the workplace, Cheng Zhenzhen was complained by customers because of his lack of experience and even caused losses to the company. Shao Pengcheng’s well-off family background doomed him to have no freedom since he was a child, and life can only be passively accepted. The internationally renowned designer Jing Ran is not as glamorous as it appears on the surface. The changes in his family have caused him to have a lonely and calm personality. Every star is a representative of thousands of young people working hard in Shanghai. They may be ordinary but have extraordinary dreams.

The dreams of "finding the right house for the client" and "improving the living environment for people" may seem ordinary, but they shine in the most ordinary positions, proving to the audience that "happiness comes from struggle". Success is not a step to the sky, and it is necessary to have the courage to stand up wherever you fall. These real workplace portraits are the epitome of thousands of strugglers today, and the audience is bound to draw courage and comfort from the bright, upward and warm characteristics of the series.

The TV series "My True Friend" is produced by Shaanxi Wentou Yida Film and Television Company. It is jointly produced by Huashi Entertainment, Guowen Film and Television, and Vast Star Disk Film and Television Media. It gathers the producer and chief producer Jia Yiqun, screenwriter Mei Yingju, director Zhang Silin and other gold medal creative teams. Angelababy, Deng Lun, Zhu Yilong, and Xu Di lead the lead. Tan Kai, Li Xiaofeng, Li Xinyi, Yao Anlian and other old, middle-aged and young actors join in with all their strength. The creators go all out. The actors work hard and build this warm story related to the house and showing all kinds of society. The drama is currently in the tense post productin stage, so stay tuned.

1905 movie network news Directed by Lu Yang and produced by Ning Hao, the film will be released nationwide on August 11. Recently, a new trailer has been exposed, and the plot of the film has begun to emerge. This time, it not only reveals the mysterious life of Yang Mi’s Hokusai, but also gives an important clue that she loves and kills Shen Lian, played by Zhang Zhen. Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei, Jin Shijie and many other powerful actors also appear in the acting skills. According to the audience who have seen the film first, the characters and stories in the finished film will be more complex and suspenseful.

The tension plot of "Embroidery Spring Knife · Shura Battlefield" has begun to emerge, Zhang Zhen and Yang Mi fall in love and kill each other

During the Shanghai Film Festival, the movie "Embroidery Spring Sword · Shura Battlefield" not only won the "Weibo Most Anticipated Martial Arts Film" award, but also was screened two months in advance as the opening film of "Jackie Chan Action Film Week", and successfully won the first round of good reputation, which made fans look forward to this story even more. Recently, the film also revealed a new trailer, giving the beginning of the mysterious plot.

The trailer opens with Hokusai, played by Yang Mi, telling a mysterious life story, and then the crisis of sentient beings in the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty slowly unfolds. And the setting of Shen Lian, played by Zhang Zhen and the brocade-clothed guard, "love and enemy, love and kill each other" is also full of tension. The battlefield where people fall into the water and die in the film foreshadows the abuse index of this time. The fallen version of "One thought of Shura, training sincerity" is more problematic: love and hate, good and evil, war and love are only in one thought. All sentient beings experience the trials of this Shura field, and only then can they know that sincerity is a fetter and a way to live.

"Embroidery Spring Knife" series has become "ancient costume action movie training ground" and many powerful actors "Shura field" have good acting skills 　

All the characters in this trailer also appear. Zhang Zhen and the old actor Jin Shijie, who were shortlisted for the Golden Horse Award for Best Male Actor and Best Male Actor for their previous work, have made a strong return, and the new interpretation is looking forward to. The newly joined "Magnolia Award Shidi" Zhang Yi, the powerful actor Lei Jiayin, including Wang Qianyuan in the previous work, challenged the costume action movie for the first time but gave a surprise, making the "Embroidery Spring Knife" series a "costume action movie training ground" in the eyes of fans.

In that year, "Embroidery Spring Knife" appeared as a dark horse, and the word-of-mouth at the box office rebounded, and it won the Golden Horse Award. After three years of polishing, now "Embroidery Spring Knife · Shura Battlefield" has been fully upgraded and will reignite the summer season on August 11. The film is the first work of Bad Monkey Film’s "72 Change Film Plan", written by Chen Shu, Lu Yang and Yu Yang. The film is a special project to promote the development of Shanghai film. It brings together Zhang Zhen, Yang Mi, Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei, Jin Shijie, Liu Duanduan, Li Yuan, Wu Qiang, Wu Xiaoliang, Li Hongtao, Liu Fengchao, Yuan Wenkang, Ma He, Liu Tingzuo, Wang Renjun and other powerful lineups.

　　[PConline trial experienceAs an editor of a technology media, I am exposed to the latest technology information every day and experience firsthand the most cutting-edge technology products. After evaluating countless notebooks, there are only a few notebooks that I can treat with such caution. Xiaomi notebook is one, not only because Xiaomi itself has such high attention, but also because every word I say may become the target of public criticism from rice fans.

　　Like everyone else, I am also very much looking forward to this product. After getting the real machine, I played with it carefully for a while. The first impression that Xiaomi notebooks give people is that they really look like MacBook Air. My colleague joked that Xiaomi can’t get rid of the suspicion of plagiarizing the appearance of MacBook Air no matter how much it shirks, and even my personal favorite LOGO design was complained that the best selling product on Taobao is Apple brand LOGO stickers. In fact, this kind of debate is unwinnable, simple, exquisite, and has a narrow border more than Apple. This is what Xiaomi has done very well. It can be seen that Xiaomi does not blindly learn from it, but has its own independent thinking.

Xiaomi Notebook Air is finally here, what does the official say? What is the reaction of rice noodles? What does Huawei think? When will LeTV send it?　

　　Every time Xiaomi launched a new product, everyone was most concerned about the price and configuration. When the price of the Xiaomi Notebook Air 13 was announced, some people commented that the price/performance ratio of 4999 yuan was good, and the appearance and configuration were OK. Some people thought that with Xiaomi’s previous style, the price of this product could be lower, preferably from 1999.

●What did Xiaomi officials say?The Mi Notebook Air 13 is made of an all-metal body made of aluminum alloy, which is light and sturdy. Highly customized components make the main board more precise, full bonding technology makes the screen thinner, and high-density battery technology makes the battery undiminished and the battery size smaller. No logo design, users can give the notebook a unique personality according to their temperament, such as the artist series… This is really the original text on the official press release, you can taste it carefully.

●Rice noodles reflect:Good! Good! Good! Beautiful! Light enough! Thin enough! The frame is narrow enough! New domestic product! Rebs is domineering! Buy buy buy!!!

●What does Huawei think?Humph! We have telecom skills, and then rely on the global retail network established by traditional integration and mobile phones. We have successfully entered the field of two-in-one multi-mode. Brother Lei, you are slow! We have already attracted countless fans first~

●When will LeTV release:Wait a minute, don’t worry! We just married Vizio home, and we have a notebook product line. Brother Lei, you go first, I’ll keep up at the end of the year~ I’ll send two at once! Package you like~

　　With a little ridicule, I analyzed the reaction of different aspects to Xiaomi Notebook, but also objectively explained a fact: Xiaomi Notebook, everyone is really concerned. Although it is not the thinnest 13.3-inch notebook on the market, the thickness of the 14.8 mm body is impressive when shot; although the weight of the 1.28kg body is not extremely light, don’t forget that it has a built-in independent graphics card, which makes it a light and thin book with game attributes! How is the experience? Look down.

As a thin and light book with game attributes, is the Xiaomi Notebook Air comfortable to use?

● Screen section

　　Let’s take a look at the screen first. Whether a product can catch consumers’ attention in the first place, the screen is a very crucial part. For the screen of the Xiaomi Notebook Air 13, we forgot a series of parameters at the press conference. In terms of appearance alone, the picture displayed by the 1080P is delicate enough, and the color of the screen is also very rich, which is very pleasing to the eye. For the office, I really can’t find any fault with such a screen. The problem is that it also has game properties, so is it really okay to play games with it? In this regard, the editor also personally tested the current most popular online game with the largest number of players: League of Legends!

　　After playing a few games, I want to say that there is no problem with the screen, and the fluency of the whole game is also good. What restricts the game experience is the size of the entire body. To be honest, playing games with a 13.3-inch notebook, the screen is still too small. The first experience will not be able to fully integrate into the game world, let alone the immersive game experience. However, I believe that with the increase in the number of games, players’ "adaptation" will improve this situation to a certain extent. However, I still want to say that playing games on a large screen is more exciting. Heavy gamers need to carefully consider playing games on a small notebook.

● Keyboard part

　　The keyboard of this machine is the same as the design style of the whole machine, taking a minimalist route, the layout of the keys is relatively conservative, all the ones that should be reserved are reserved, and the ones that should be omitted are not added. At this moment, every sentence I type is completed on this keyboard. Although it is only level 1 backlit, it can fully meet the needs of night office, and the backlighting effect is really good-looking. For daily office work, such a keyboard is sufficient, but the 1.3mm key path is slightly shorter. As for games, there is neither cool lighting effect nor "game elements" like WASD. In short, it is not a keyboard specially prepared for games.

● Heat dissipation

　　I think that people who really have the desire to buy it must want to know the heat dissipation of the whole machine, so now let’s talk about the heat dissipation of the Xiaomi Notebook Air 13.The editor tested two sets of heat dissipation data through the infrared heat sensor, one is the heat generation during daily light office hours, and the other is the heat generation after playing two rounds of LOLThe heat map of the actual heat dissipation is pasted below, and you can feel it according to the temperature value on the map

　　The Xiaomi Notebook Air 13 is really a very good office notebook. I code + listen to music + PS for two hours throughout the process. For this light-level application, the change in the temperature of the fuselage can only be described as negligible. The design of single copper tube + dual fan also plays a certain role in the game, but the light and thin fuselage is not conducive to heat dissipation, so the heat dissipation is still not limited. Playing games will feel a significant increase in heat, which is also expected. Your mileage may vary. For the author, such a temperature is acceptable.

Office heat dissipation

Game cooling

As a thin and light game book, does its hardware performance meet the most basic game requirements?

　　At the launch of Xiaomi Notebook, Lei Jun showed everyone the top ten notebook products on JD.com, including half of the thin and light notebooks and the performance notebooks, which is also the reason why Xiaomi chose to make the performance notebooks in the thin and light notebooks. In addition, another PPT shows that all the 13-inch notebooks currently ranked in the top ten on JD.com use integrated graphics cards. Compared with these products, the advantages of Xiaomi Notebook Air 13’s independent graphics card are immediately highlighted.

　　For this product that combines both thinness and performance, I am also particularly curious about its performance. In this regard, we also conducted several tests specifically for the performance of this machine. The Xiaomi Notebook Air 13 scored 2550 points in the 3Dmark 11 (P) graphics card performance test. Such scores are the leading online games on the market. League of Legends, Crossfire, Dota 2, etc. can ensure smooth operation. In the solid-state drive test of AS SSD Benchmark, the Xiaomi Notebook Air 13 easily ran out of 1605 points, which is a very good result.

● Product configuration and score data table

　　I adjusted the game image quality to the highest level, the resolution was adjusted to 1920 × 1080, and the vertical synchronization function was turned off. I took a photo and saw that the game frame number was 61 frames. In fact, gamers know that as long as the game screen is locked at more than 30 frames, the overall fluency of the game can be guaranteed. It can be said that there is no problem with playing League of Legends with Xiaomi Air 13, which is not very demanding for configuration.

　　So what about using the Xiaomi Notebook Air 13 to play some stand-alone games with higher configuration requirements? In addition to League of Legends, the editor also experienced this Street Fighter 5. When the game image quality is raised, the game runs smoothly. When adjusted to medium image quality, although part of the image quality is sacrificed, the overall fluency has been improved. After all, the independent graphics card equipped with the Xiaomi Notebook Air 13 is NVIDIA GeForce 940MX, and the positioning is not top, so this situation is also expected.

Xiaomi Notebook Air also has the following small selling points, everything you want to know is listed

● Built-in Xiaomi synchronization application

　　In the technology industry we are in, the most noble quality should be adventure, conquest, expand the territory, and make a success. Today, Xiaomi is no longer the Xiaomi that shouted "born for a fever". In recent years, it has been expanding its business and gradually moving into unknown territory. From the original Xiaomi bracelet, Xiaomi router, Xiaomi power bank, to now Xiaomi drone, Xiaomi balance car, Xiaomi notebook, Xiaomi is maintaining its own rhythm and growing. We also clearly see the blueprint of Xiaomi’s ecological chain built by Xiaomi to the world. As the most critical notebook in the ecological chain, in addition to the functions that notebooks should have, what other attempts has Xiaomi made?

　　The first step is to integrate your own fan base, of course. The author noticed that Xiaomi has built its own Xiaomi synchronization tool into the system. Now it has three functions, namely "Xiaomi mobile phone", "Xiaomi community" and "Xiaomi official website". I believe that in the future, this seemingly simple built-in program will definitely introduce more perfect and attractive built-in services in the future. It is even possible to connect all Xiaomi products you have together to make it have enough fan stickiness, and then further expand your fan base and gradually establish your own "Xiaomi empire". It is really scary to think carefully.

● Mi Band

　　The second generation of Xiaomi bracelet is one of the examples, Lei Jun said at the press conference that Xiaomi bracelet supports unlocking notebooks, which is the same principle as Xiaomi bracelet unlocking Xiaomi mobile phones. In the future, Xiaomi bracelet will become a tool to collect health indexes such as your heartbeat, and mobile phones and notebooks are the end point for synchronizing these data. Therefore, since there are Xiaomi mobile phones and notebooks, will you miss the bracelet?

● Support users to add M.2 solid state drive

　　However, when it comes to the product itself, the Mi Note Air 13 has really brought a very "landing" innovation to consumers, that is, it supports users to manually add an M.2 SSD SSD by themselves, and also provides warranty in the event of an accident. Looking around the entire PC market, the common practice is to divide its products into several levels, often the same configuration of the same product, just because the size of the solid state drive is different, the price is much higher. This approach of Xiaomi Notebook really puts a lot of pressure on the same level of products.

● Accessory docking station

　　In addition to the original interface of the fuselage, Xiaomi also prepared a very delicate docking station, which is officially priced at 149 yuan. This docking station has been certified by Apple and can be bought and used on Apple Macbooks, which is much cheaper than Apple’s own more than 500 docking stations.

Accessory docking station, support Apple notebook

● PCMark 8 (Home-OpenCL) battery life test

　　In addition to the performance and heat dissipation of the whole machine, I think what everyone is most concerned about is its battery life. For this reason, we conducted a PCMark 8 battery life test on it, and the Xiaomi Notebook Air 13 ran a good result of 4 hours and 7 minutes. It should be noted that the PCMark 8 battery life test is only the result of simulating user habits. Usually, the battery life of users is much higher than the results we tested. After comparison, you will find that in fact, the battery life of the Xiaomi Notebook Air 13 ranks very high in the database.

battery life test

●Some of my observations

　　The Xiaomi Notebook Air 13 is indeed a sincere product. I have seen solid materials and workmanship on its body, extremely narrow bezels, thin and light body, as well as independent graphics cards and support for DIY solid state drives, etc., which shows how much effort Xiaomi has put into this product. It is really not easy to achieve this level when launching a notebook product for the first time. But if you want to kill two birds with one stone in experience, it is obviously not realistic to be small, thin and portable, and to ensure an immersive gaming experience. This is not Xiaomi’s problem, but a problem faced by all manufacturers. After some experience, I obediently used the desktop to play games again. Don’t think it can’t play games. Games can be played, but you must choose to play them.

　　For domestic manufacturers, the PC field is not a sunset, but a feast of gluttony, but in the end, only a limited number of oligarchs can sit down and share the delicious food. After Huawei has ventured into the PC field, Xiaomi finally can’t sit still. The two notebooks launched by Xiaomi this time are just the first shots of Xiaomi entering the PC field. Xiaomi is likely to follow up with Xiaomi game book, Xiaomi two-in-one, Xiaomi flip book, etc.

Article | Newly Excerpted Business Review, One White

This year, Xiaodu’s path forward seems to be "overshadowed".

At the end of March, Xiaodu launched a promotion campaign for the digital collection of Genesis, promising to promote 500 people to consumers and airdrop the Palace Museum’s digital collection "Listening to the Qin" for free. Some people successfully promoted more than 500 people, but Xiaodu did not fulfill the promise afterwards. Instead, it replaced it with other low-value digital collections, and was complained by users for suspected false propaganda.

In July, a woman found multiple private videos of guests staying in a small speaker in a bed and breakfast room, which was questioned as an infringement of user privacy.

After four months, Xiaodu was fined 250,000 yuan for propaganda in the name of MIIT, which once again made headlines.

Xiaodu, which Li Yanhong calls "a revolutionary new species of AI in the Chinese market", has been highly expected, and its AI voice assistant hidden behind the smart speaker carrier is Baidu’s shield for the next decade.

However, it has been two years since the spin-off of Xiaodu, and the news of independent listing has spread again and again, but no further action has been seen. Baidu’s subsidies to Xiaodu have not stopped, and the commercialization prospects are unknown.

In recent years, with the gradual enrichment of smart home product categories, the number of substitutes for smart home entrances is increasing, the status of smart speaker entrances has been shaken, and the beautiful idea of "hardware pasted upside down, ecological money" does not know when it will be realized.

The mobile ecosystem is facing huge challenges, and autonomous driving is still burning money. How long can Baidu give Xiaodu patience, and whether Xiaodu can support Baidu’s grand AI dream expectations, everything has to be questioned.

First, the AI story awakened by a "small degree"

"Xiaodu Xiaodu, play children’s songs."

This was the "killer sentence" of a treasure mother to awaken her baby’s rhythmic cells, and it also started Xiaodu’s busy day.

Xiaodu is the name of Baidu’s artificial intelligence assistant and the wake-up word of Xiaodu speakers.

In September 2015, Xiaodu came out as a secret and made many attempts around artificial intelligence voice technology. The most widely known ones are the voice operating system Xiaodu Assistant (Duer OS), and the Xiaodu Assistant as the core. Xiaodu smart speakers and other hardware products.

In March 2018, Baidu established the Smart Life Business Group (SLG), and at the same time released the first smart speaker with a screen – Xiaodu is at home, and Robin Li personally stands on the platform.

SLG is jointly composed of the former Baidu "Du Mi Business Department", Baidu "Hardware Ecological Channel Department" and the acquired "Raven Studio Studio", and is managed by Lu Qi. After Lu Qi left, Jing Kun became the general manager of SLG.

At that time, there was no screen speaker in the Chinese market, but foreign giants had tried the water (in 2017, Amazon released a smart speaker Echo Show SLG with a screen). The combination of "screen + speaker" led by Baidu in China has brought huge increments to Baidu and virtually changed the competition landscape of the domestic smart speaker market.

The major giants followed suit. Alibaba and Tencent launched Tmall Genie CC and Tencent Jingle one after another. JD.com also released JD.com Play…

2018 was a year of Xiaodu’s anger, and it was also a year in which Jing Kun frequently exported Xiaodu’s values.

Jing Kun once said that Baidu’s original intention of making Xiaodu was to let everyone have a smart assistant, but it has no form. In the early stage of development, it needs to be attached to the form of a certain product in order to make users feel that it is an "assistant".

"On the road of smart assistants, how to meet users’ expectations for this product at this stage is very critical, which will affect whether to abandon it later or use it all the time." The form of smart speakers does not have such high requirements for the entire smart assistant, and users’ expectations are relatively limited. The initial demand may be to play music or listen to the radio, which is more in line with the expectations of the "form".

2019 Q1 financial report released, Baidu suffered its first quarterly loss in 14 years, but Xiaodu’s performance was very impressive.

This year, Xiaodu smart speaker shipments in the Chinese market first, the number of smart devices equipped with Xiaodu assistant exceeded 275 million, up 279% month-on-month, and the monthly voice interaction reached 2.37 billion, up 817% month-on-month, becoming China’s largest and most active dialogue artificial intelligence platform.

In Q2 2019, Baidu’s smart speaker shipments increased by 37 times, surpassing Google to become the world’s second largest smart speaker supplier.

Thanks to Xiaodu’s outstanding performance, Jing Kun was also promoted to vice president of the group and reported directly to Li Yanhong. At the 2019 Baidu AI Developer Conference, the "young strong faction" management led by Wang Haifeng, Shen Shuo and Jing Kun came to the forefront.

Jing Kun’s promotion also represents Baidu’s expectations for Xiaodu, or rather, the expectations of the value of voice interaction represented by Xiaodu.

Baidu has always emphasized that it is not a hardware company, and the definition of Xiaodu smart speakers is not pure hardware, but growing AI software. Hardware is just a carrier of it.

Xiaodu is Baidu’s game of chess for the intelligent voice ecosystem. According to a previous survey by Bain, voice interaction will account for about 30% of human-machine interaction in the future, and the market prospect is broad. For Baidu, which has always wanted to build itself into a "Chinese AI business card", voice technology is the soul of smart speakers, and it is also a high ground that Baidu must snatch.

Over the years, Robin Li’s investment in the voice field has been firm. From the release of the first smart speaker with screen "Xiaodu at home" to the full-duplex wake-up-free Xiaodu Assistant 5.0 update, every time Xiaodu makes an appearance, Li Yanhong stands firmly in front of the stage.

The turning point occurred after SLG was spun off.

In September 2020, Baidu announced that its smart life business group business (referred to as "Xiaodu Technology") completed the signing of an independent financing agreement, led by Baidu Capital and CPE (CITIC Industrial Capital) strategy, IDG Capital joined the investment, post-money valuation 20 billion yuan. After the financing is completed, Baidu still has absolute control over Xiaodu Technology.

The official explanation is that independent financing has a positive role in promoting the development of Xiaodu Technology and its strategic coordination with Baidu. Independent financing may become a key step for Xiaodu Technology to start the domestic listing process.

A year later, in August 2021, Xiaodu Technology completed the B round of financing, with a post-money valuation of 33 billion yuan.

Nowadays, Xiaodu Assistant has been iterated to version 7.0 and is widely used in home, hotel real estate, car, portable and other multi-scene fields. In addition to smart speakers, the landing smart hardware products have also expanded to smart fitness mirrors, smart dictionary pens, smart headphones, smart camera TVs, etc.

Xiaodu Assistant, as Xiaodu’s core AI technology capability, is already the largest conversational AI operating system in China, but the fate of Jingkun and Xiaodu Technology is increasingly uncertain.

Second, Li Yanhong’s "good heart"

Looking back on the past, we will find that Li Yanhong once had a strong preference for Xiaodu.

The same is defined as the new entrance to smart home, Xiao Ai was only briefly mentioned by Lei Jun at the end of the tenth anniversary speech, and Tmall Genie rarely appeared at Alibaba’s group-level conferences. However, Xiaodu was able to stand at the C position at Baidu’s most important AI developer conference for many years.

In Li Yanhong’s opinion, Baidu’s core business search itself is a very typical AI problem, because the essence of search is to give answers to questions, and natural language processing technology in AI technology can help search more accurately.

In the era of AI-enabled search, search results are no longer sorted by the relevance of web pages, but are digested and processed based on the machine’s full understanding of the question.

From 1.0 to 7.0, Xiaodu Assistant has transformed into an "open API" that integrates Baidu AI voice technology and image technology, and can empower third parties. Robin Li regards it as the interaction hub, super entrance and operating system of the AI era.

Jing Kun once used "Xiaodu is the search and information flow of Baidu in the future, it is a natural search itself in the family" to illustrate the importance of Xiaodu to Baidu.

Xiaodu is also an entry point for Baidu to leverage smart life. Users’ demand for smart devices continues to diverge, and once the demand diverges, the application of technology will come out.

The ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny. In recent years, the popularity of smart homes has been accelerating, and now smart homes will have built-in smart assistants to interact directly with users. The role of smart speakers as the central control of smart homes has begun to weaken, and Xiaodu’s status as the "interaction center" has also begun to shake.

At the same time as the product iteration, Xiaodu did not forget to start commercialization attempts. At the Xiaodu media communication meeting in early July 20, Jing Kun first mentioned the concept of "breaking the circle". The corresponding action is that Xiaodu connected to Kuaishou, Douyin, Bilibili, Youku and other content partners in one go in the first half of the year, and launched Xiaodu education smart screen, Xiaodu smart early education machine and other products for children.

After the double reduction, the commercial water test effect for C-end users is not good.

Xiaomi’s smart hardware ecosystem has been wildly sought after by capital, and Xiaodu also wants to follow suit, saying that it wants to create an open AIoT interactive ecosystem based on Xiaodu Assistant’s core technology, and form a set of "1 + X + Y" ecological development ideas, 1 refers to Xiaodu Assistant (Duer OS); X refers to interactive hardware, including Xiaodu’s own products and cooperative products; Y refers to ecological hardware, smart home and IoT products.

However, it turned out that the story of the AIoT interaction ecosystem was even more difficult to tell, regardless of the intense competition in AIoT. In addition to Baidu’s Xiaodu Assistant, players in the voice interaction system also included Amazon’s Alexa and Ali’s AliGenie. Huawei, a communications equipment manufacturer, was building the Hongmeng system, and Haier, a home appliance giant, had also launched its own smart home system, U-home, very early on…

Each family has an ambition to build an "ecology", and the so-called ecology is not "open". Everyone is developing their own "ecological standards". Openness is "internal", and barriers are always external.

The fragmentation of the ecological level has led to an increase in the interconnection barriers of end point devices between different brands, and the clustering of different camps has further intensified the "data islands" of each brand’s ecology. These are all insurmountable mountains in front of Xiaodu.

I still remember when "Xiaodu Home" with Xiaodu Assistant was launched, Robin Li said excitedly, "Xiaodu Home is a new product form spawned by AI, a revolutionary new species of AI in the Chinese market, and will also open up new application scenarios."

Nowadays, revolutionary application scenarios have not emerged, and the focus of Li Yanhong’s AI narrative has also been placed on digital humans and autonomous driving.

In July this year, the Baidu World Congress was held as scheduled, and the opening was no longer the familiar conversation between Robin Li and Xiaodu, but the digital human Xiaoxiao.

Baidu has confidence in AI, but it doesn’t have much patience for Xiaodu, who is already independent. One detail is that Jing Kun’s title has not changed except for the newly added CEO of Xiaodu Technology.

Lining or face

Xiaodu, once popular with Baidu and the market, has become much like a "battle with a scarecrow": it can defeat its opponent in theory, but it can only defeat its opponent in theory.

"Voice interaction is the mainstream, it’s not extra and add-on", different perspectives bring business changes, just like when touching the screen, many people think what is the purpose of adding a touch screen to the mobile phone, but Apple sees the value of the touch screen.

For Baidu, the value of voice interaction represented by Xiaodu is a very low-level value that can revolutionize many things, such as the interaction frequency between users and devices, the interaction time between users and a smart device, and even the content and information service ecosystem after the entire device.

This is a particularly low-level revolution, and it is an irreversible revolution in history, and it will only happen faster. This is why Baidu really values voice interaction, because this low-level revolution will upend so many things and is a huge opportunity.

In an interview in 2019, Jing Kun has always emphasized that the commercialization of Xiaodu is not the focus, the most important AI capabilities and user experience, hoping that the product can reach a larger scale, but "the current scale is not that large, so it needs a golden development period".

Jing Kun also mentioned more than once in public that Xiaodu’s business model does not make money on hardware, and truly attaches importance to content and service ecology, focusing on interaction, such as multi-mode interaction, remote interaction, including voice interaction self-learning system, etc., will also have a lot of technical investment in related aspects.

Three years had passed, and smart speakers had already passed the initial stage of user education. According to the official statement, Xiaodu was now the largest in the country, and the technology was constantly being updated. Commercialization should also make a big breakthrough, but from the actual results, Xiaodu commercialization seemed to be still in the "embryonic" stage.

The performance of the Xiaodu brand has been repeatedly mentioned in Baidu’s financial reports, but the specific revenue of Xiaodu has not been disclosed.

It seems that Xiaodu is more like the "face" that highlights Baidu’s AI technical strength, rather than the "lining" that supports Baidu’s performance growth curve.

No matter how beautiful the business story is, it is just a "mirage" that cannot run through the closed loop of business. The fact is that Xiaodu cannot make money by relying on hardware products, and it is more difficult to make money by building an ecosystem through AI voice interaction.

No capital can continue to pay for an idea that cannot see returns. If Xiaodu cannot go public independently and raise money in the future, it will only be a matter of time before Baidu completely abandons it.

1905 movie network news With the recovery and recovery of the performance market, popular singers such as,,,,, and other popular singers have started concert tours one after another, and the fans are enthusiastic. Concerts are even more difficult to find a ticket. Many concerts are only issued for a few seconds, and the tickets are sold out. At the same time, ticket grabbing, refund, transfer… Concert-related topics have also frequently triggered heated discussions among netizens. As of press time, the topic "Why are concerts all about refund" has hit the hot list, and the reading volume has reached 190 million.

A few days ago, the organizers of Liu Ruoying’s concert in Shanghai announced that because this concert "implements the real-name system of ticket purchase and real-name admission, no resale is allowed", but many audience members are "participating in the real-name system for the first time and do not have a deep understanding of the real-name system ticket purchase rules", so they specially opened a 12-hour "refund period" from 9:00 to 21:00 on the 7th. Subsequently, the organizers of Liang Jingru’s Shanghai concert also issued an announcement, also for "audiences who are not familiar with the rules of ticket purchase and performance", opening a refund channel for two periods.

It is reported that the current concert ticket purchase requires a strong real name. The so-called "strong real name" is a three-in-one combination of person, certificate and face. When purchasing tickets online, you must bind your identity information. When entering the venue, you must scan the ID card of the corresponding person, and swipe your face at the camera. This face must also be the person on the ID card. Any mismatch of the above information will cause admission failure.

In addition to the "strong real-name system", many ticketing platforms also stated "non-transferable + non-refundable tickets" in the ticketing rules at the beginning of the performance. After purchasing tickets, the information of the audience cannot be changed, and they can only see it by themselves. If there is no time, then the ticket is wasted.

The actions of Liu Ruoying and Liang Jingru at the Shanghai station this time have severely suppressed the scalper group. In the past, scalpers maliciously grabbed tickets and inflated ticket prices, resulting in people who wanted to see them not being able to grab tickets, and the concert money was also earned by scalpers. For this reason, many fans publicly expressed "boycott scalpers and chase stars rationally", and shouted the slogan "I would rather stand at the entrance of the venue than let scalpers make money".

According to the judgment of many industry insiders, "strong real-name system" and "limited-time refund" may become the mainstream trend of concert ticketing in the future, which can not only solve the problems caused by audience emergencies, but also help to create a healthy and sound performance market.

According to Sina Entertainment, on August 25, "fairy sister" Liu Yifei celebrated her 37th birthday by posting photos to celebrate her birthday, dressed in cool clothes, and many friends in the circle sent birthday wishes.

On her birthday, Liu Yifei’s company posted a number of birthday photos: "Every step I take for love will be deeply engraved in the long road of life. Love, run, shout, and work hard to the fullest… Be yourself, and live up to the trust of time."

Liu Yifei’s friend Tang Yan posted photos and sent blessings: "Year after year, I love you as always. Happy birthday, my dear Princess Sissi, may you be at ease and happy to be yourself!" This is Tang Yan’s birthday wishes for Liu Yifei for 10 consecutive years.

Hui Yinghong, who has collaborated with Liu Yifei on "A Thousand Women’s Ghost", posted a group photo at 0:00 to send blessings: "My beloved little Feifei, happy birthday, believe in yourself and do what you want! Although I don’t know what I can do for you, as long as you need it, I will always be there! Sister Shu and I will always love you and support you!" Hui Yinhong also revealed that she prepared homemade perfume for Liu Yifei as a birthday gift.

Welcome to continue to pay attention and participate in the Golden Rooster event.　

1. The list of movie channel "Star Ocean" was announced, and 40 young actors including Zhou Dongyu, Wang Junkai, Jackson Yee were shortlisted

The movie channel "Star Ocean" project list announced that 40 young actors including Zhou Dongyu, Wang Junkai, and Jackson Yee were shortlisted. The movie channel "Star Ocean" young actor selection program has attracted widespread attention since it was first launched during the 2019 Golden Rooster Awards. The first batch of 32 members have made great progress in the field of acting, and many of them have been recognized by heavyweight professional film awards.　

From 2020, there will be no tenure system for members of "Star Ocean". Through the selection of more than 300 young actors, including the 2019 members, 80 of them have entered the final shortlist. In order to ensure the authority and professionalism of the selection, the 2020 annual film channel "Star Ocean" young actor selection plan has specially added a jury. 25 judges collectively voted to determine the list under the principles of fairness, openness and impartiality.

The live broadcast of the "Direct Attack on the Golden Rooster Awards" that day specially connected Ding Sheng, Wu Runner-up and many other judges. Director Ding Sheng revealed that he had made a detailed understanding of 80 candidates before voting by checking materials and links to works. In his opinion, image and traffic are not the most important: "The key is to play well, to have the ability to shape characters and to have personality." At the same time, Ding Sheng also very much acknowledges the supporting role played by the "Star Sea" plan: "On the one hand, young actors can show themselves, and on the other hand, practitioners like me can also meet and understand newcomers in the industry from this platform. The whole plan is full of vitality and hope."

It is reported that a total of 797 valid votes were obtained in the selection of the "Star Ocean" plan.

At that time, they will also represent "the future of Chinese film" and show their respective styles to the world.

2. Golden Rooster Award "mass nucleic acid test monitoring" hot search, Deng Chao "hand-holding" Shen Teng presided over the closing ceremony

Deng Chao "hand-holding" Shen Teng presided over the closing ceremony. Although it has entered the normalization stage of epidemic prevention and control, the organizing committee still regards epidemic prevention and safety as the top priority when preparing for national-level large-scale film cultural activities such as the Golden Rooster Award, and strictly implements various policies on epidemic prevention and control. Immediately before the opening, this year’s Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award was officially announced: During the event, all participating stars, guests, staff, etc. must conduct a nucleic acid test as soon as they land in Xiamen. After the test results are qualified, they can enter the event site. Once the news was sent, it was immediately listed on Weibo’s trending topic list. The netizens praised the Golden Rooster Awards organizing committee for its rigorous thinking, leaving messages saying "During extraordinary times, the staff worked hard" and "Safety first, I wish the event a smooth holding". The live broadcast of "Direct Attack on the Golden Rooster Awards" also revealed the "safety checkpoints" of each site of the Golden Rooster Awards for the first time. After the official opening, the movie channel Rongmedia live broadcast will continue to pay attention to the whole process of the Golden Rooster Awards epidemic prevention work, including the nucleic acid test of filmmakers.

The preparations are ready, just waiting for the filmmakers to arrive. In today’s live broadcast, the closing ceremony and award ceremony of this year’s Golden Rooster Awards will be held on November 28. The event will continue the combination of "professional host + filmmaker". The movie channel host Lan Yu is paired with Deng Chao and Shen Teng. The movie channel hosts Guo Wei, Ying Ling and Li Dan will jointly serve as the hosts of the red carpet session.　

After careful calculation, "National Uncle" Shen Teng is the only "newcomer" on this stage – Deng Chao played the role of host at the closing ceremony of the last Golden Rooster Awards, and his easy performance won the recognition of a large number of audiences. Now that he is back on the job, he is "old" with "new". I don’t know what little tricks he will teach "Uncle Shen" on the spot? Of course, if there is a stick, Shen Teng’s strength really doesn’t need to worry. We have already begun to look forward to being amused a few times at the closing ceremony. Tomorrow, the 33rd Golden Rooster Awards will be officially opened. Welcome to continue to pay attention to the movie channel "Direct Attack on the Golden Rooster Awards" and integrate the media 5G live broadcast. Come together in Xiamen to witness the wonderful filmmakers!

1905 movie network feature The film stars,,, and tells the story of the police’s best efforts to bring drug dealers to justice. After the film was released, audiences commented that "Lin Jinan is the worst and most ruthless of the more than 200 characters played by Andy Lau," but at the same time, there were also comments that "the emotional scenes between Andy Lau and Yasser Lau are a touch of warmth in the film." This episode also invited the actor Yasser Lau, who plays Vivian in "Stealth", to chat about the film.

Subvert! "Stealth" characters play well

This time, Lin Jinan swept away Andy Lau’s personable and temperamental big-screen image, and made a breakthrough as an elusive mysterious lawyer and a ruthless drug lord.

In addition to "ruthless", Lin Zhenan is also an uncompromising "love brain", and there is a "white moonlight" in his heart – Vivian. In the words of Liu Yasse, the most ruthless scene of Andy Lau in "Stealth" is "loving Vivian fiercely".

If Lin Zhuan An was a ruthless and affectionate complex character, Vivian was an independent and clingy girl. In front of outsiders, Vivian was ruthless and did not have any mood swings, but in front of Lin Zhuan An, she was carefully protected, and every breath and breath floated with Lin Zhuan An. In the words of Liu Yasse himself, "Lin Zhuan An is Vivian’s reassurance."

This pair of "White Moonlight" and "Peace of Mind" also made countless audiences in the theater call "hit" "rare in Hong Kong movies, desperate cp!" But in addition to cheering, Vivian’s role setting could not escape the audience’s "symbolic women" doubt.

In Hong Kong films, traditional female characters are often used as supporting roles, as a driving force for the integrity of the protagonist’s character setting and the sharp turn of the plot, but Vivian is not a soulless supporting role in "Stealth", but there are many details that need to be carefully savored.

Liu Yasse summed up Vivian’s action line and underlying motivation in one sentence, that is, "When you are staring at the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you". Vivian and Lin Zhuan An have both encountered unfair fate. When they were not favored by fate, but were tricked, their souls were entangled uncontrollably, and they embarked on a wrong step and a wrong step in life.

The most obvious part of Vivian’s character temperament was the "bottleneck after the volcano eruption". Most of the time in the film, she didn’t have complicated emotions or too many words, but when she was with Lin Zhuan An, she would have emotional ups and downs. She was afraid that it would cause extra trouble, affect Lin Zhuan An’s actions, and cause trouble for her loved ones. But she also had her own considerations, and she silently paid for the two of them to go on the road smoothly in the future.

It can be said that the role of Vivian is a very valuable female image in Hong Kong films in recent years. She is intelligent, calm, and forbearing, shining with the brilliance of women everywhere.

Grow up! Liu Yashe’s on set to "steal" Andy

Playing a role is a job, and it is also the integrity of a life.

In recent years, Liu Yasse has contributed a number of masterpieces on the screen, whether it is Liu Liu, who is independent and sober, or Vivian, who is calm and intelligent in "Stealth", which has left a deep impression on the audience.

Talking about the classic roles he played in the past, Yasser believes that each role is very important to him, and they walk by like a marquee in their hearts. Every work and every character’s life is a course he has chosen, and there is no way to rank or compare them.

Talking about the experience of filming "Stealth", she wants to thank Andy Lau the most, and believes that new actors should learn from Andy, respect the opinions of others, shoot with dedication, time concept, and energy. In addition to thinking about the role, they should also start from the perspective of the film and achieve each other.

Looking forward to it! The golden age of Hong Kong cinema has never left

At the same time, this year is also a year of high-quality explosion of police and bandit genres in Hong Kong, China. Good films such as "Burst Point" and "Anti-Drug 3: Man in the End of the World" brought audiences a long-lost feeling of pleasure. "Stealth", as a blockbuster film at the end of the year, also has irreplaceable highlights. In addition to the key elements familiar to the audience such as "cat and mouse games" and "action fighting", "Stealth" uses audio-visual language to describe a multi-faceted world of black and white fusion and good and evil changing minds.

For example, Lin Jinan, played by Andy Lau, wears an ordinary suit in the early part of the film, as if living an ordinary life. However, after the white suit was dyed in blood at the wedding scene, he began to blacken, and the color of the clothes became darker and darker. The turtleneck sweater wrapped the body tighter and tighter, and the mysterious depth gushed out.

If you want to ask who the character who most echoes the title of "Stealth" in the whole film is, there is no doubt that Lin Jiadong plays Xiu Hao. As an undercover agent, Xiu Hao has been in stealth for more than ten years, and his mystery even makes it difficult for the audience to determine whether he is black or white during the viewing.

In addition to echoing the title of the film, the quirkiness of Xiu Hao’s character also highlights the theme of "Stealth". The multifaceted and complex nature of human nature is difficult to distinguish clearly, and the boundaries between right and wrong are often blurred.

For this type of character that he had not been exposed to for a long time, Lin Jiadong often thought about how to play a veteran undercover agent’s struggle between ruthlessness and affection, with brothers on one side, work on the other, and family in the middle. Every step of the decision affects the direction of the story. In the end, what decision Xiu Hao will make is left to the audience to explore in person.

In Liu Yasse’s opinion, Hong Kong films have their own unique texture and spirit, and everyone has always had a feeling for Hong Kong films. With the development of information and the closer cultural connection, many ideas of Hong Kong and mainland filmmakers can be connected in a timely manner. She also hopes that Hong Kong and mainland filmmakers can innovate together in the future and use more empathetic stories to face the audience sincerely.

JD.com up the ante community group buying, and there is a new action.

Yesterday evening, the mainland agricultural products wholesale market operator China Dili Group (Hong Kong listed company, stock code: HK.01387, referred to as "China Dili") announced that on December 25, the company and the subscriber JD.com Group wholly-owned subsidiary Nelson Innovation Limited entered into a subscription agreement, JD.com Group will be 798 million Hong Kong dollars to subscribe for China Dili 478 million shares, the subscription price is 1.67 Hong Kong dollars per subscription share, with a discount of about 16.5% to the closing price of 2 Hong Kong dollars per share quoted on the Stock Exchange on the last trading day of China Dili shares. After the transaction is completed, JD.com Group will receive about 5.37% of China Dili’s issued share capital.

Regarding the deal, China Dili said that the company and JD.com Group will jointly build the strongest fresh food supply chain system in China.

According to the data, China Geoji is a major agricultural product distribution service provider in China, mainly engaged in shopping mall operations. Currently, it has 10 large agricultural product wholesale markets in 7 cities including Shouguang, Hangzhou, Shenyang and Harbin. In 2019, the commission income was RMB 10 million yuan, and the rental income was 410 million yuan.

In January 2019, China Dili proposed a transformation and upgrading development strategy, that is, through technology and service empowerment, to build an integrated and digital fresh circulation comprehensive service system, transform into a "modern fresh circulation service and supplier", and become the most trusted food circulation service provider. In October of the same year, China Dili Strategy invested in the fresh retail chain "Dili Fresh", and initially formed a three-point and one-line whole-industry chain circulation layout of fresh food "production-circulation-retail".

For this acquisition, China Dili Group said that China Dili and JD.com Group will jointly build the strongest fresh food supply chain system in China. China Dili has the advantage of offline transactions and agricultural and sideline product origin resources linking the production end and the sales end. JD.com Group has global fresh food marketing channels, C-end customer base and logistics warehouse distribution capabilities, as well as modern technology and digital capabilities. The two sides will strengthen the integration of resources and empower each other in the aspects of fresh circulation, supply, upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, through modern technology and digital technology, build a modern fresh supply chain and circulation service platform, realize the digitalization of the whole industrial chain of fresh circulation, the whole process can be traced, food safety is guaranteed, and solve the long-standing social problems such as farmers’ difficulty in selling agricultural products and low prices, while urban consumers buy expensive and food safety is not guaranteed.

The board believes that the acquisition provides a unique opportunity for the company to expand its shareholder base and raise funds for future development and business expansion. The Subscription will further create a synergy effect between ChinaLand and JD.com’s business, driving ChinaLand’s future development and business growth.

In addition, according to E Company, Zhu Danpeng, a Chinese food industry analyst, said that the organic integration of China’s resources in the B-end and JD.com’s advantages in the C-end and technology will help the construction of agricultural products and fresh food supply systems. "The degree of intelligence, standardization and digitalization of the supply system will be improved. For the C-end, consumers will also be able to enjoy better quality agricultural products and fresh food logistics services. I think this will open a new model of upgrading the distribution structure of agricultural products and fresh food in our country."

In fact, fresh food accounts for a high proportion of community group buying,The supply chain system construction of fresh food e-commerce will be one of the key factors for the sustainable development of community group buying, and the cooperation between the two parties is also regarded by the industry as the latest move of JD.com up the ante community group buying.

According to Ernest & Young’s recently released "E-commerce new retail 2.0: From fresh food e-commerce to community group buying, operational efficiency is the key to winning", community group buying has made small progress as early as 2016, and ushered in a blowout under the promotion of capital in 2018. The bubble receded in 2019, and the industry ushered in a reshuffle and integration. The COVID-19 epidemic in 2020 played a very good catalytic and educational role in the community group buying market. During the epidemic, residents go out to reduce, blocked shopping channels, while information transmission and management to the community as a unit, community group buying model to help people solve the daily life of shopping problems, and quickly replicated to each district, community group buying finally ushered in explosive growth.

Community group buying almost always adopts the model of "booking today + next day delivery/self-pickup", providing community residents with fresh food, daily general merchandise and other goods. The most direct is that the goods purchased by users are cheaper and can be picked up around the community.

Before that, JD.com also frequently took action to layout community group buying,In 2019, the community group buying brand "JD.com District Purchase" was launched, and the joint purchase Mini Program "Jingxi" was launched; on December 6 this year, JD.com announced the acquisition of Meicai’s Meijia Shopping; on the evening of December 11, JD.com officially announced that the investment is prosperous and preferred, and the investment amount is 700 million US dollars.This investment in China’s geographical location is also an important part of the layout (strengthening resource integration in fresh circulation, supply, upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, etc.).

Since the beginning of this year, Meituan, Alibaba, Pinduoduo, JD.com and other giants have entered the market together, and they are not aiming at each other’s existing territory, but at an inconspicuous red ocean market in the past.

According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, the output of fresh agricultural products in 2019 is about 1.20 billion tons, and the output value of fresh agricultural products is about 7 trillion. If we consider fresh processing, warehousing and circulation, the entire market transaction volume exceeds 20 trillion, and it is expected that the size of the fresh food market in 2020 is expected to reach 331.07 billion yuan. In the first half of 2020, the user stickiness of fresh food e-commerce reached 25.70%, an increase of 6.2% over last year.

At the same time, the penetration rate of fresh food e-commerce is low. According to Euromonitor statistics, from the perspective of channel share, in 2019, traditional farmers’ channels accounted for 48%, supermarket hypermarkets accounted for 36%, and e-commerce channels accounted for from 1% in 2013 to 6% in 2019.

At present, community group buying has also attracted greater skepticism, and the state has now paid great attention to it at the policy level. On December 22, the State Regulation for Market Regulation and the Ministry of Commerce jointly held an administrative guidance meeting on regulating the order of community group buying. Six Internet platform companies from Alibaba, Tencent, JD.com, Meituan, Pinduoduo and Didi participated. The meeting made it clear that Internet platform companies strictly abide by the "nine must not", and the new regulations are of positive significance for the entire community group buying industry to avoid vicious competition and lead the healthy development of the industry.

According to E Company, the development of the fresh food e-commerce industry is also facing some pain points. Zhu Danpeng told that at present, the entire fresh food e-commerce industry has incomplete product structure, different product quality standards, unstable product supply and large losses. The service system of the entire product supply chain also needs to be strengthened.

The Ernest & Young report also pointed out that although fresh food e-commerce has developed rapidly in recent years, it is still very difficult for the industry to achieve profitability. The particularity of fresh products makes the industry also face many difficulties and challenges that are difficult to overcome.

The Ernest & Young report argues that investing a lot of resources and human and material resources can gather traffic in the short term, but the ultimate competitiveness of the community group buying industry still lies in the construction of internal capabilities (supply chain capabilities and cost control are particularly important). Although in the short term, traffic and subsidies can help community group buying platforms to quickly increase volume, community group buying is still essentially a retail business. In the long run, how fast and economical goods are is the key to consumer trust and viscosity, and the ultimate improvement of the operating efficiency of the entire supply chain is the key to the success of the platform. In the national policy environment, in addition to spending resources and energy to occupy market share, community group buying operators need to pay more attention to the cultivation of their own internal capabilities and create a healthy industry ecosystem.
