When it comes to Volvo, "safety" will almost be the first word in everyone’s mind. With the advantages of brand history, reputation and safety performance, Volvo has achieved double growth in brand and sales in China. Among them, XC60 is Volvo’s most popular and highest-selling model. In 2020, XC60 accounted for about 30% of Volvo’s sales in China.

Facing the luxury medium-sized SUV market which is already in the Red Sea, Volvo XC60 (parameter picture) has a place in the highly competitive market with its distinctive Nordic brand label and excellent safety performance.

On June 11th, the new XC60 was officially launched, with a total of 9 styles including 1 B4, 5 B5 and 3 T8. The official guide price is 373,900-603,900 yuan. The new car continues to strengthen its competitiveness to cope with the upgrade of its competitors. The key word this time is "intelligence".

Intelligence is the only way for Volvo to be safe.

"Intelligence" is the only way for Volvo to achieve the ultimate safety in the new era, but people are the starting point and end point of all Volvo technologies. Therefore, the upgrade focus of the new XC60 is intelligence.

In fact, in the intelligent tide of the automobile industry, the safety of automobile products is constantly approaching this aspect, including intelligent and safe driving, pedestrian safety, and car networking. As a representative in the field of automobile safety, Volvo also demonstrated its future layout of intelligent safety technology through the launch of the new XC60.

The first is the intelligent cockpit. The new intelligent concept and technology have further changed our car life and made the car operate like a smart phone.

Volvo’s new XC60 has a built-in native Android car, which is based on the standard version of the car Android system jointly developed by Volvo and Google, which can achieve better adaptation and effectively promote the establishment of an open intelligent ecosystem.

On the other hand, Volvo cooperates with the best partners in various fields, such as Ali, Tencent, Huawei, Iflytek and Gaode Map, to create the best application and service, and it can be accessed through the ONE ID account system. The most intuitive example is the WeChat scan code login machine, which is the only model that can be achieved at present.

The upgrade iteration of intelligent driving technology is the top priority of Volvo safety.

In 2015, the Volvo industry first introduced the Pilot Assist navigation assistance system, equipped with three world-first intelligent safety technologies. The whole system comes standard with City Safety urban safety assistance system, which has been iterated for many times in the past ten years, covering travel safety to every participant on the road and making safety to the extreme.

At the same time, Volvo is constantly approaching the advanced stage of intelligent driving-automatic driving, which is realized by cooperating with a series of technology companies. For example, to become the first automobile brand supported by NVIDIA OrinX chip, the powerful chip provides enough computing power for the automatic driving system, and the brand-new electronic and electrical architecture based on the central computing platform and Ethernet will ensure the high-speed data throughput required by the automatic driving function.

Volvo plans to achieve highly automatic driving assistance functions such as navigation assistance and automatic lane change according to the route set by navigation in 2023. Around 2025, automatic driving without human intervention will be realized on closed road sections. At present, it has reached a strategic partnership with Waymo, the world’s leading autonomous driving company.

In China, Volvo cooperated with Didi Chuxing to launch XC60 self-driving taxi service in Shanghai last year, and in April this year, Didi provided hundreds of XC90 self-driving cars equipped with redundant systems supporting steering and braking functions.

With the upgrading of the three strengths, the new XC60 is more competitive and has more cards.

The XC60 model has been recognized by many elite consumers in the city and established a good reputation. Therefore, the internal and external design of this annual change has not changed much. After all, this design is excellent enough. Choosing fine-tuning will be more rational and safe, mainly through the adjustment of details and materials to improve the overall texture and grade of the car.

For example, the straight waterfall chrome plating on the front face of the luxury model adds a broken line design, and the C-shaped chrome trim on both sides of the old bumper is replaced with a long strip design on the new model, which stretches the visual width of the front of the car. The sports version is replaced with a more radical bumper, and the net adopts a sharper and more dynamic blackened dot matrix style.

There are also many changes in the new XC60. All electronic gear bars have replaced the old mechanical gear bars, and the luxury version has used the Swedish royal national treasure Orrefors crystal gear bar. In addition, the medium-high configuration version will be equipped with or equipped with B&W Baohua Weijian audio system, and the whole system is still the only CleanZone? Nordic clean cockpit at the same level. On the whole, the cockpit of XC60 has a very distinctive temperament and luxury label compared with BBA of the same level and competitors of second-tier luxury brands. Many consumers choose XC60 for this set of interior.

Intelligent cockpit and safety upgrade are all reflected in the new XC60. For example, the only native built-in Android car system at the same level, the open Ali/Tencent/Huawei open ecological full coverage and Iflytek natural speech semantic recognition system provide drivers and passengers with a more convenient travel experience. In addition, the threshold of City Safety urban intelligent safety system is further lowered, and all XC60 models are equipped.

In terms of performance, the power control chassis of the new XC60 has been fully upgraded.

In terms of power, the whole new car is upgraded with 48V light mixing system, which further improves the overall performance and fuel saving level, and also significantly improves NVH and ride comfort.

Volvo Cars has formed a complete electrified product matrix including pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles and light hybrid vehicles. According to Volvo’s timetable for electrification transformation, all product lines will be electrified in 2021; In 2030, it became a pure electric luxury car enterprise; Strive to become a climate zero-load benchmark enterprise in 2040.

In terms of chassis control, the damping adjustment of the shock absorber of the new car tends to improve comfort, and with the seat jointly developed by the Royal Swedish Medical College, the driving comfort is further improved.

In addition, the new XC60 adopts an electronically controlled braking system to achieve a braking response of 0.15 seconds, and the braking response speed is increased by 2 times; There is also a full-time intelligent four-wheel drive system +4C adaptive chassis and air suspension equipment, which greatly improves the driving safety and handling.

Zero integer ratio is the best, attracting more rational users.

In the current market, XC60 still focuses on mainstream rivals such as Mercedes-Benz GLC, BMW X3 and Audi Q5L. In terms of brand power, Volvo may not be as good as it is, but in terms of product quality, XC60′ s advantages lie in more complete safety equipment and more cost-effective configuration advantages. There is also the tonality and connotation of Volvo’s unique brand.

Another thing I have to mention is the zero integral ratio. In the 12th Vehicle Zero-integral Ratio System Data released by China Automotive Technology Research Institute, the zero-integral ratio coefficient of BMW Brilliance X3 is 700.72%, that of Beijing Benz GLC is 614.69%, that of FAW Audi Q5L is 479.20%, and that of Volvo XC60 is only 466.60%, which is obviously the lowest among competing products of the same level.

The lower the zero integral ratio, the lower the maintenance cost of this model, not only the XC60, but also the models under the Volvo brand have lower zero integral ratio than the same level, which is a big attraction for the rational luxury car consumers, and many users who choose Volvo are actually rational buyers.

Zhong Shu

Nowadays, the competition of luxury medium-sized SUVs is becoming more and more fierce, and the "differentiation" characteristics of products will become a breakthrough. The unique Nordic design and people-oriented safety concept of XC60 will attract more and more attention. At the same time, fully accessing the online ecosystem of Ali, Tencent and Huawei, and Volvo embracing local suppliers in China to further meet the domestic market demand will become Volvo’s competitive advantage.

Topic: 2008 US Presidential Election

　　Beijing, Jan. 28 (Xinhua)-The results of the South Carolina primary election in the US presidential election have had an effect on the polls of candidates from both parties.

The price increase of a domestic car is more than 100 thousand, which is really unimaginable in the past. A few years ago, the Cyber Edition model from a domestic car became a hot potato in the market once it was listed. The official price was 308,000 yuan. However, due to its excellent off-road performance and cool design, it was named domestic big G by the majority of off-road enthusiasts, and the pre-sale order for two days broke 30,000. At that time, it was hard to find a car. Car dealers hoarded this car in large quantities, and then sold it at a high price. At one time, it even needed to increase the price by 120,000 yuan to clinch a deal. It can be seen that its popularity is self-evident. It is estimated that even Great Wall Motor would not have thought that 300 would be so hot. Is it a limited collection value of 3000 sets? Or is it a moment of hype to attract attention? With such a question, today we will interpret this model in detail. Is it worth the price?

Appearance, the whole body frame looks like a square box design similar to Mercedes-Benz G-Class and Jeep herdsman. The front face uses a large area of blackened honeycomb air intake grille, which is matched with a penetrating LED strip that echoes the daytime running lights inside the headlight group. After lighting, it forms a penetrating light strip effect, which is full of science fiction. The air intake on the hood highlights the wild and powerful performance of the car. The bumper below is surrounded by a bulge, and the whole front face can be said to be the perfect fusion of mecha and wildness. In addition, a Y-shaped LED light source is added to the front bumper, and four LED strip are also designed in front of the spoiler on the roof, which is very Cyberpunk’s feel.

In terms of size, the length, width and height dimensions of the new car are: 4679*1967*1958mm, and the wheelbase is 2750mm, which is a compact SUV.The filling material of the seat is very thick, the wrapping is good, and the lateral support is also in place.

On the side, the new car is equipped with a set of 21-inch blackened forged rims (275/45 R21) and also uses brake calipers with the same color interior. The wheel cover also has a shape similar to a cooling hole extending to the fender, which is matched.The raised square box body and the triple window all have a sense of sight of big G. The spare tire box with a square tail is very individual. The roof uses a large spoiler tail, and the rear bumper shape echoes the front bumper, which is also a big surrounding shape of racing style. The taillight group adopts a vertical taillight group, and at the same time, a blackened sports kit is added to the bottom of the rear enclosure, which shows a good dynamic atmosphere with the carbon fiber tail above the rear windshield.

The details of the car are really great. A large area of white material is used, a large number of carbon fiber materials and NAPPA leather materials are coated, and the details are covered with a touch of black andMetallic texturedDecorated with chrome trim,The luxury and texture in the car will be instantly raised to a higher level. The center console is equipped with a three-position steering wheel, a 12.3-inch LCD instrument and a 12.3-inch central control panel. At the same time, the new car adopts a round air-conditioning outlet similar to Mercedes-Benz G-Class, with small clocks and electronic gear shifting mechanism in the middle of the table, and various knobs+function buttons are arranged around the gear handle.

In terms of configuration, it provides 360-degree panoramic images, 9-speaker Swallow Lishi audio, 64-color ambient lights, K-MAN nitrogen shock absorbers, carbon fiber tail fins, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, active braking, full-speed adaptive cruise, fatigue driving tips, front and rear parking radar, automatic start and stop, automatic parking, uphill assist, steep slope descent, keyless entry, keyless start and built-in driving recorder.

In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 2.0T engine, with a maximum power of 167kW and a peak torque of 387 N m. The transmission is matched with an 8AT gearbox, providing part-time 4wd system. In addition, the new car is also equipped with front and rear differential locks, all-terrain feedback, crawling mode, tank U-turn, off-road information display and other functions, and also provides 9 driving modes.And the non-loaded body professional off-road chassis is adopted.

Generally speaking, it is hard to find a car for the tank 300 Cyber Edition, which is the hunger marketing of the Great Wall. It creates the feeling of scarcity of goods through quantification, so as to achieve the intention of selling well or even increasing the price.But in fact, in fact, the ornamental attribute of this car is greater than the functional attribute, soTank 300 Cyber EditionIs it really hard to find a car? Is it really so charming? I don’t think so! Because in the year before last, the price of cyber tanks dropped significantly compared with the peak period. Some car dealers dropped by 80,000, and some car dealers bought at a high price at that time, but now they can only sell at a loss. Why did the magic car that had to increase the price by 120 thousand yuan suddenly lose its fragrance? What do you think is the reason? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.

People live their dreams.

How many people like Xiaomi, which should be reflected in sales.

In 2022, Xiaomi’s global smartphone shipments remained third, ahead of Samsung and Apple.

In the latest market report, in the second quarter of 2023, Samsung ranked first with 53 million units, Apple ranked second with 43 million units, and Xiaomi ranked third with 33.2 million units.

Looking at the steady development, the third in the world, Xiaomi should relax, and his country is saved.

In numerous global data analysis reports, companies standing at the top of the pyramid are not happy, and they almost follow the same sentence, "In 2022, global smartphone shipments fell by 11.7% year-on-year, reaching the lowest level in nine years."

The bottleneck of smart phones still appears as scheduled.

The third place in the world, but in the domestic market, Xiaomi’s share is falling behind.

Obviously, this is not an accident.

Xiaomi needs to release more information to the market. In addition to mobile phones and other digital products, cars can boost morale.

Xiaomi’s approach is to remain mysterious.

Without releasing too much information to the outside world, Xiaomi Automobile can withstand loneliness and race against time.

I believe it is Lei Jun’s intention.

On August 14th, Lei Jun’s annual speech, which had been laid for many days, was officially opened.

In Weibo, # Lei Jun’s Annual Speech Topic #, which has contributed nearly 10 million readings, is full of expectations for Lei Jun’s speech and praise for Lei Jun himself.

Everyone has a filter for Lei Jun.

Annual speech as scheduled, simple stage design; This is only Lei Jun’s fourth lecture, but if possible, fans hope that Brother Jun will keep it.

This kind of thing, which exists like a promise, is a beautiful little fortunate. Cheers and shouts accompanied Lei Jun to the stage.

"Growth" kicked off.

I was moved by Lei Jun during the three-hour speech.

One person, one pen.

A stage, a play.

Simple blue shirt+jeans, which is the standard of technology experts; I still can’t change the local accent, which makes me play at some moments.

Kan Kan talked for 3 hours, and Lei Jun talked about starting a business and working all the way from college time. This kind of "looking back" seems to sigh the passage of time.

Recalling Wu Da’s life, Lei Jun is warm.

The beauty of youth and yearning for the future are the blueprints that every college student will paint "I want …".

Lei Jun said, "I read a book in the library, Fire in Silicon Valley, and established my lifelong dream."

With only one book, you can build a lifelong dream.

If everyone can be as simple and crisp as Lei Jun, then we should all succeed.

A book is enough to arouse a person’s lifelong goals. What a pure thing it is.

Dreamers are always pure.

Fire in Silicon Valley is on fire.

Under the appeal of Lei Jun, Fire in Silicon Valley rekindled the click-through rate and purchase rate.

This is the celebrity effect.

"If there is a fire in your heart, you are willing to take practical actions; Those who work hard and don’t calculate the gains and losses should succeed, shouldn’t they? "

Although this kind of inspirational prologue can be seen everywhere, you have to copy "since heaven gave the talent, let it be employed!" for 1000 times before you can get started.

Find a way, use it, and then stick to it. It seems that any successful thing cannot escape these three things.

It’s hard to persist, isn’t it?

Lei Jun said, "In fact, no matter what problems you encounter, others may have encountered them, solved them, and even have standard answers. You just need to ask someone."

I quite agree with him.

As the old saying goes, you are not ashamed to ask questions.

Asking for advice with an open mind should be the first step to learn to study effectively.

In those unsuccessful years, persistence and self-encouragement are the only motivation to "live". Many people will choose to give up before the quantitative change to the qualitative change, saying all kinds of words to comfort themselves, for fear that others will misunderstand their weakness.

A successful person never talks about suffering.

Now he is successful. In front of others, he is an outstanding alumnus who can return to school with scenery, stand on the stage of the 130th anniversary of Wuhan University, and look back on the past life of Wuhan University in front of more than 17,000 people. It is the senior brothers of those students who are equally ambitious and eager to succeed.

Cheers always overwhelm everything.

Because he is Lei Jun.

He is the bright star in the rise of China’s mobile phone industry; Xiaomi’s mobile phone stores have opened all over the mainland of China; In countless business circles, the orange LOGO is always so conspicuous, and the extremely simplified furnishings in the store and household appliances other than digital products such as mobile phones make users look new.

Xiaomi has more than just a mobile phone.

He also has more applications in the smart home system; Crucially, he is a civilian.

The products with extremely high cost performance and minimalist design make Xiaomi quickly go out of the circle, and the products with intelligent ecological network connection make Xiaomi change from a simple mobile phone manufacturer to an ecological closed loop.

Xiaomi’s entrepreneurship is the best performance of Lei Jun’s persistence and hardship.

With an annual sales of 150 million mobile phones, Xiaomi is glorious.

The decline in revenue exceeded 14%, and Xiaomi was also anxious.

When the global millet flour is cheering for Xiaomi’s mobile phone, many people put forward that "it is a disadvantage that Xiaomi can’t be high-end".

A muffled thunder made the world quiet.

As difficult as any brand needs high-end, Xiaomi’s high-end process has made Lei Jun very painful.

He said, "The most painful and biggest growth in the past decade is high-end exploration."

When you get used to his high cost performance, high-end is the cornerstone that hinders the purchase rate.

Xiaomi’s test of water on Xiaomi 10 is successful, but it is said that Xiaomi 11 and Xiaomi 12 are failures. I am not a mobile phone fan, and there is only one Xiaomi mobile phone I used, and I still don’t know where it is; But I know that to make a product high-end and beyond the price of brand awareness, it must be amazing and perfect.

The network said that because of the quality problems of Xiaomi 11 and Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi suffered serious losses at the beginning; As a result, Lei Jun began to reflect on his decision, and the company also began to question the necessity of "high-end road".

At this moment, who should you ask?

Although Lei Jun believes that "there is a standard answer to some things", no one should be able to solve this standard answer.

Although there is ambiguity, high-end is almost the only way for Xiaomi.

If the mobile phone business cannot be realized for the time being, then Xiaomi’s car-making may be the peak of Xiaomi’s high-end.

It is Lei Jun’s confidence in Xiaomi.

In 2022, the number of connected devices (excluding smartphones, tablets and laptops) on Xiaomi AIOT platform increased by 35.8% year-on-year to 589 million; The annual revenue of smart home appliances increased by over 40% year-on-year; The annual shipment of Xiaomi tablet increased by over 160% year-on-year.

These data are telling us that Xiaomi has money.

On the basis of money, Xiaomi automobile was born conditionally.

I think Lei Jun thinks so, too.

In March 2021, Xiaomi officially announced that it would enter the automobile industry and "fight for Xiaomi Automobile", which started the first step of Lei Jun’s impact on the high-end ceiling.

At that time, Lei Jun was confident and excited. "Xiaomi has money and Xiaomi can afford it."

But I think Xiaomi can’t afford to lose.

The high-end that was questioned, set sail again, and Lei Jun started another venture.

Independent research and development of batteries, motors, electronic control, but also self-built factories.

Xiaomi Group currently has a complete IOT service ecosystem and consumer electronics portfolio, which is another layer of confidence for Lei Jun in automobile supply.

Did Xiaomi Automobile take the lead in investing 3.1 billion yuan to accompany you?

Should you be excited?

Lei Jun made a car at the end, and the mobile phone circle boiled.

Compared with the unreliability of Apple’s car-making, Xiaomi’s car process remains mysterious, but it has been moving forward.

Although the automobile industry is worried about it.

Despite the same manufacturing industry, the resistance of alternating mountains seems to be whispering, so don’t be too optimistic.

Lei Jun is confident.

We are locked in the sentence "Xiaomi’s first smart car will be mass-produced in 2024", and the countdown begins.

Lei Jun is ambitious.

His goal is that Xiaomi Automobile will enter the first camp of the industry in 2024.

These boasting are to cheer themselves up.

This complex big project, in Lei Jun’s view, can be broken down into countless independent points, solved one by one, and finally achieved perfection, just like the study in that year.

Is that the truth?

The unsolvable problem of building a car has become more confusing under the premise that Lei Jun will not reveal more details.

At the opening of the lecture in 2023, we expect to get new progress about Xiaomi Automobile.

Even the slightest trace.

Can’t get it, always in turmoil; Those who are favored have nothing to fear.

Lin xi’s lyrics are always so precise. However, hope still failed, Lei Jun, without a word.

Especially low-key, do you want to be vigorous when it breaks out?

Practitioners in the automobile industry have also begun to become scouts. In those few articles, they are trying to find any clues about the progress of Xiaomi Automobile, for example, the progress of the factory.

The news that Xiaomi Automobile Factory was completed in Beijing Yizhuang New Town was confirmed, and the offline delivery center industry of Xiaomi Automobile is being started as scheduled.

The unanimous "smooth progress" of Xiaomi executives is the only official source of news for Xiaomi Automobile.

So mysterious, so desperate, Lei Jun’s cross the rubicon, do you feel it?

Honestly, I didn’t.

Returning to rationality, why does Xiaomi build a car?

Is it because of the intelligent layout of Xiaomi itself?

Is it because of the huge and strong fan base behind Xiaomi’s ecology, or because of the dilemma of the ceiling of the mobile phone industry?

Will the original intention of Xiaomi’s need to change be exactly the same as Huawei’s?

The only difference is that Huawei chose a good helper, and Xiaomi decided to fight alone.

But I still firmly believe that there are always several outlets in this seemingly interlinked world, which makes it difficult for them to walk separately.

Xiaomi’s pressure is not small, and the data can be reflected.

According to the network data, in the whole year of 2022 and Q1 of 2023, Xiaomi’s mobile phone revenue declined by 20%. Keeping the third place in the world, the declining market share is the biggest drop among the major manufacturers.

The decline of the mobile phone business and the unclear start of the car have also become the own label of Xiaomi Automobile, a new entrant.

If people live for their dreams, should it become "living for reality" at this moment?

Some people say that Lei Jun is too optimistic, and he really underestimates the risk value of the automobile industry. But we are not Lei Jun, so we can’t consider what he is thinking.

But he is the man who created the Xiaomi empire.

I think that the annual speech in 2023 may be a charge before the birth of Xiaomi Automobile.

It seems that there is no car speech, but it is full of the shadow of making a car.

Lei Jun took his dream seriously, tried to break it down into one achievable goal after another, and then tried his best to achieve it, and so did Xiaomi. Only by down-to-earth growth can we have enough self-confidence, courage and determination to meet all the unknown challenges. "The same is true for Xiaomi to build a car.

Lei Jun’s dream is great. I want to interpret it as, "Xiaomi Auto will eventually achieve greatness because of its perseverance in these years." This confidence about cars was put into the speech by Lei Jun one by one.

I still firmly believe that those consoled chicken soup for the soul are Lei Jun’s interpretation of Xiaomi Automobile at this moment.

Schopenhauer said, "Life is either painful or boring, and happiness is also a delusion." This thoroughly pessimistic philosopher spoke frankly about the emptiness of human nature.

I think Lei Jun would also say, "Since life is boring, I will try to fill it."

Eight years after Hailian Jinhui bought Linked Commerce for more than 1 billion yuan, this fully qualified payment license may be sold to Tik Tok for nearly 1.4 billion yuan.

On the evening of April 3, Hailian Jinhui (002537.SZ) announced that the company had signed the Equity Transfer Agreement with Tianjin Tongrong E-Commerce Co., Ltd., and planned to link its wholly-owned subsidiary with Advantage Technology Co., Ltd.(hereinafter referred to as "linkage advantage")100% equity of Linked Advantage Electronic Commerce Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Linked Commerce) was transferred to Tianjin Tongrong. 　　　

In terms of transaction price, referring to the appraisal report issued by Shanghai Dongzhou Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd., the appraisal value of all shareholders’ equity of Linked Commerce as of the appraisal base date is 1.382 billion yuan, and the price of this equity transfer is set as: the benchmark transfer consideration of 750 million yuan+the adjusted amount of net assets ("net assets consideration", the net assets of Linked Commerce on the appraisal base date is 649 million yuan) based on the consolidated statement of the equity delivery date of the target company.

The announcement also revealed that as early as January 2016, the company purchased 91.56% equity of Linkage Advantage by issuing shares, of which the transaction price of Linkage Commercial Assets Group was 1.063 billion yuan. On July 14, 2016, the equity delivery procedures were completed, and Linkage Advantage became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company.

After the completion of this transaction, linked commerce will no longer be included in the scope of consolidated statements of Hailian Jinhui; Tianjin Tongrong intends to merge Linked Commerce through its wholly-owned subsidiary Wuhan Hezhong Yibao Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Hezhong Yibao") after completing the equity delivery of the transferred Linked Commerce. The announcement emphasizes that the above transactions and mergers need to be approved by the central bank.

According to public information, Wuhan Hezhong Yibao Technology Co., Ltd. is the main body of the "Tik Tok Payment" license. According to the eye inspection, after the penetration, Hezhong Yibao holds 99% of the shares, and the other 1% is held by Zhang Lidong, the chairman of ByteDance.

This means that if the transaction is completed, Tik Tok will once again obtain a payment license through an affiliated company at a price of about 1.4 billion yuan.

Regarding this transaction, the relevant person in charge of Tik Tok Payment said that the transaction is to support offline transaction scenarios such as life service and provide more convenient payment and service experience for users and businesses in the Tik Tok system.

According to the interface journalist, as early as August 2020, Tik Tok had acquired a payment license-Wuhan Hezhong Yibao Technology Co., Ltd. through its affiliated company, and launched Tik Tok Payment. However, Hezhong Yibao’s licensed business type is only "Internet Payment", lacking the offline bank card acquiring business type. The business types of Linkage Advantage E-Commerce Co., Ltd. acquired this time include Internet payment, mobile phone payment and bank card acquiring business nationwide, and its license renewal was also approved by the central bank in January 2024.

Wang Pengbo, an analyst with Broadcom Consulting, said that the reason why Tik Tok acquired Linked Commerce was to supplement the offline bank card acquiring license. With the payment license that was only qualified for online payment, Tik Tok has set up a complete payment system online. After obtaining the qualification of offline bank card acquiring, Tik Tok Payment can further expand the payment business offline, cooperate with life service and other businesses, make up the closed-loop business, reduce the channel cost, and further strengthen the control of offline merchants.

At the same time, he also said that although the license qualification of Linked Commerce is very complete, the licensed company has been punished by the central bank many times before, and whether Linked Commerce has a complete offline entity merchant network needs to be verified. Generally speaking, payment institutions prefer to acquire more pure payment institutions without business, and it is easier to start work in time without historical burden.

According to the data, in 2018, Linked Commerce was fined more than 26 million yuan for illegal transactions, providing online payment services and transferring domestic foreign exchange abroad in violation of regulations. In July 2021, Linked Commerce also received a fine from the Business Management Department of the People’s Bank of China, and was fined 7.61 million yuan for four violations. Gao Zhangpeng, then executive director of Linked Advantage and head of the anti-money laundering working group, and Huang Rong, then president of the company and head of the anti-money laundering working group, were fined 98,000 yuan and 83,000 yuan respectively.

Wang Pengbo also pointed out that in terms of compliance, according to the Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Non-bank Payment Institutions, the same shareholder may not directly or indirectly hold more than 10% equity of two or more non-bank payment institutions of the same business type; The same actual controller may not control two or more non-bank payment institutions of the same business type. According to the new regulations, Tik Tok may still need to further integrate its payment licenses.

He said that from the perspective of industry influence, in the short term, Tik Tok needs to consider integrating payment institutions that have already cooperated with Tik Tok in offline local life business, and balance the interests between self-operated and aggregated service providers; In the long run, it is very likely that Tik Tok will further change the market share of existing offline acquirers through subsidies and other means.

　　The 21st Guangzhou International Automobile Exhibition (hereinafter referred to as "Guangzhou Auto Show") is in full swing in Pazhou Pavilion of China Import and Export Fair. On November 18, the first audience open day coincided with Saturday, and the venue was crowded and lively.

　　How to visit the auto show? How to choose your favorite vehicle? What are the highlights of the RV exhibition area? What new products and services have smart cars launched? With these questions, the reporter visited the Guangzhou Auto Show and listened to the voices from the citizens on the spot.

　　Buy a new energy vehicle or a fuel vehicle? The public has different opinions.

　　This Guangzhou Auto Show has attracted mainstream auto brands and new energy auto companies from all over the world. The exhibition area covers an area of 220,000 square meters, with a total of 1,132 vehicles, including 469 new energy vehicles, accounting for 40%. Various brands, rich models, preferential promotions and multiple price ranges … Guangzhou Auto Show attracted many citizens to buy their favorite models with its series of advantages.

　　In front of Huawei’s HarmonyOS Zhixing booth, Ms. He is listening carefully to the lecturer’s introduction of related technologies and products. She told reporters that she made a special trip from Shenzhen, hoping to choose a suitable car here.

　　Regarding the purchase of traditional fuel vehicles or new energy vehicles, Ms. He expressed her preference for new energy vehicles for her own consideration. "Because I don’t know much about parking, I really want to know more about the function of automatic parking. In addition, intelligent driving, automatic obstacle avoidance, artificial intelligence technology, etc. are all points I care about. "

　　In the field of new energy vehicle segmentation, she prefers hybrid electric power. "My budget is less than 300,000, and my daily travel is mainly to work and the suburbs. I may drive back to my hometown during the holiday. If you can charge and refuel, you will feel more at ease. " In addition, car brands are also an important factor affecting Ms. He’s car purchase. "At this stage, if you buy a car, you will still choose a well-known car company, which feels more secure in quality and safety."

　　For those who prefer to buy new energy vehicles or traditional fuel vehicles, the reporter interviewed some citizens randomly at the scene. People who intend to buy new energy vehicles often mention the following points: the price of the car is superior, the charging cost is lower, the model is more scientific and technological, the level of intelligence is high, and relevant policy support is provided. However, they also mentioned problems such as mileage anxiety, difficulty in charging and inadequate charging infrastructure.

　　Many people who choose traditional fuel vehicles mention that they prefer to use fuel vehicles, which are suitable for long-distance travel, lower maintenance costs and better driving experience. The disadvantage is that the vehicle price is relatively high, the fuel cost is expensive, and the product update is slow, so it is difficult to meet the needs of intelligent travel.

　　With the development of the automobile market, consumers’ choices are also changing. Mr. Zheng bought a hybrid electric vehicle in 2017, and three years later he bought a fuel vehicle. In this regard, he said: "Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to generalize. It will be more comfortable to drive a fuel car at high speed, but it will be smoother to drive a hybrid car in the city. I will definitely buy a tram in the future, but now I feel that the tram still has quite a few limitations, such as low battery life at high speed, easy to get hot when charging, and cannot guarantee 100% safety. "

　　Different groups of people have different needs? Precise positioning of car enterprises

　　The competition on the car track is fierce. How can car companies attract customers with high-quality products and high cost performance? At the exhibition hall, some car companies strive to attract more target customers by reducing prices in a limited time, giving discounts, live online and providing customized services.

　　Different groups of people have different needs, and car companies need accurate positioning to win customers.

　　In some booths, car companies put camping tables and chairs and bicycles on the roof to set off the highlights of products with specific life scenes. Mr. Ge, who likes cycling and outdoor camping, said frankly, "It is really attractive. When I see the car, I think of the outdoor camping scene. My budget for buying a car is around 150,000. After watching it for a while, there are also many favorite products. "

　　In response to the needs of some family trips, some car companies have positioned themselves as "affordable, comfortable and specially designed for family trips"; Some car companies also put forward a more ideal concept of "home" for young people …

　　There are also some car companies that are ingenious and choose a relatively small track. For example, Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi launched E9 Caring Edition, which is equipped with an electric welfare wheelchair to facilitate the elderly, pregnant women, the disabled and other groups to travel.

　　An elderly person experienced it on the spot, and someone on the side said, "This kind of innovation is really practical and humanistic. My parents are old, and it looks good to buy this car to take them out. " In this regard, a staff member of GAC Chuanqi said that the car is still in the research and development stage and is expected to be mass-produced next year.

　　A sense of science and technology, practicality, intelligence and personalization … At the Guangzhou Auto Show, a wide variety of products with different positioning made the public feast their eyes. "I have been to the Guangzhou Auto Show before, and I obviously feel that the number of new energy vehicles has increased this year. The exhibition areas of new energy auto shows such as Tesla, Ideality, Tucki and BYD are quite cool, and the intelligent level of cars is also surprising. In particular, the release of some concept cars makes people can’t help but imagine the future direction of automobile development. " At the Xpeng Motors Pavilion, Mr. Wang, a veteran car fan, looked at Li Chuo’s car suspended in the air and said.

　　At the scene, many citizens passing by the exhibition area took a group photo with the car, and some people gave the imagination of "technology changes life and where to travel in the future".

　　RV is expensive. Can’t afford it? Three or four hundred thousand also have a choice.

　　When asked, how do you feel about coming to Guangzhou Auto Show to see the RV? Many citizens have mentioned that the price of RV is cheaper than expected, and there are many choices for 300,000 yuan to 400,000 yuan.

　　"I used to think that the RV was very expensive and only existed in the beautiful travel life of others in the short video. But when I came to the RV area of Guangzhou Auto Show today, I knew for the first time that I could buy a RV for 300,000 yuan. Just now, my friends and I went up to experience it, which was quite comfortable. I have never thought of buying a car before, and this moment was ignited. " Ms. Wang, who is in her thirties, said with a smile.

　　Another couple also expressed similar feelings. Mr. Chen, who came to see the exhibition with his girlfriend, said: "I didn’t have much chance to see so many models before, but I was really surprised today." The price of the RV broke my stereotype. " His girlfriend couldn’t help feeling, "I don’t even want to buy a house with an RV. It would be great if the relevant infrastructure could keep up. "

　　At the scene, DTV, Yutong RV, Jiangwei RV, Great Wall RV and other brands displayed a variety of highly competitive products. According to the relevant person in charge of Yutong RV, from more than 80,000 yuan to more than one million yuan, they launched different grades of RVs to meet the differentiated needs of the market. Among them, the range of 400,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan sold more. "Retirees and freelancers buy most, they have more free time and like to travel outdoors."

　　A retired couple are sitting in an RV to experience the comfort of the driver’s seat. They also checked the size of the bathroom, the size of the bed board, the length of the water pipe and the size of the water tank. Aunt Huang told reporters that she and her husband have been "playing RV" for many years, and recently they plan to replace a new RV. "With the RV, you can travel freely, where the car is, where the home is, and life is full of fun." However, Aunt Huang also suggested that you should think carefully before buying a car. Is it really necessary? Do you have time to travel? Can you accept problems such as parking difficulties and trouble in water and electricity supply? If you just want to experience it, renting a car is also an option.

For many rice noodles waiting for Xiaomi Automobile, it has been good news recently. Earlier, Reuters reported that the National Development and Reform Commission had approved the production application of Xiaomi Automobile, and only needed to get the relevant approval from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to complete the procedures before listing. At present, Xiaomi’s road to building a car seems to be quite smooth, and the plan to go public next year should still be in time, so rice noodles just need to get the money ready.

Moreover, there is another news that Xiaomi automobile has entered the stage of small-scale trial production, and about 50 prototype cars can be produced every week, which shows that Xiaomi automobile has the prerequisite for mass production. In addition, Lei Jun personally went to Xinjiang and other places to conduct road tests with the automobile team, which made consumers look forward to the listing of Xiaomi Automobile, and also expected what new changes the listing of Xiaomi Automobile would bring to the future automobile industry.

It’s not enough that the product is good. Xiaomi should come up with something of his own.

We have reported on the appearance and configuration of Xiaomi’s car before, so I won’t repeat it here. Generally speaking, Xiaomi’s first car is positioned as a medium-sized and large-sized coupe with a very fashionable slip-back design, which is the same as Tucki P7, Weilai ET5 and Tesla model3, and it is also a direct competitor. There is also a laser radar on the roof. In the future, there should be a higher level of intelligent assisted driving ability, and the degree of intelligence is still relatively high.

Interestingly, the relevant investment partner broke the news that a tram with a battery life of 152 kilometers was pulling three strong men to run 85 kilometers at an ambient temperature of 37 degrees, and the battery life of the car was still 90 kilometers. Since this news was released in Xinjiang, many people speculated that it was Xiaomi Automobile that broke the news. However, if this news is true, the energy consumption of Xiaomi Automobile is only 8.8 kWh in about 100 kilometers under high temperature conditions.

This achievement can be said to be quite good. As a leading BYD seal in the industry, the energy consumption per 100 kilometers is about 13 kWh. Xiaomi car may bring us more surprises in battery life. Of course, the actual situation will not be known until it is listed.

However, this highlight alone is not enough. After all, judging from the extent of the current auto market, it is no worse than the mobile phone market. There is no real thing with hard power. I am afraid that Xiaomi will not sell well, and even whether it can survive is a problem. So, from Xiaomi’s point of view, what advantages does Xiaomi Automobile have? Many people still think of Xiaomi’s "traditional power", which is cost-effective.

Can Xiaomi’s "old road" still work?

At that time, as the "showstopper" of smart phones, Xiaomi was good at coordinating the supply chain and making products with quite good cost performance. At the same time, Xiaomi also brought this model to the fields of home appliances and AIoT. So everyone is looking forward to whether Xiaomi can let consumers buy cars with better products in all aspects at a lower price this time.

Some media broke the news that Lei Jun had persuaded the board of directors that the hardware profit rate of Xiaomi Automobile should not exceed 1%, and later relied on software and ecosystem to make money. In other words, Xiaomi moved the profit model of mobile phones to the automobile industry. However, this is really not the first time. At the beginning, it was Tesla who used the follow-up subscription service to unlock functions such as FSD. This move was later learned by traditional car brands such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW.

However, this model is actually a bit difficult for consumers to accept, because our traditional automobile consumers still focus on one-time consumption. Apart from maintenance and maintenance, it will basically not make automobile brands earn more money. Tesla was ridiculed as a "rough house" because he took the subscription system. If Xiaomi really intends to take this road, how to make consumers accept this consumption model is the most crucial thing.

Only once this model doesn’t work, Xiaomi will still have to take the road of price war, but as a newcomer with almost no brand premium, it is still very difficult for Xiaomi to fight price war. After all, high cost performance is already the strength of mainstream car companies, especially this year, many car companies have announced that they will cut prices to grab the market, which is very unfriendly for a new brand.

Previously, Wang Chuanfu of BYD also publicly stated that BYD has the right to price products within the price range of 100,000 to 200,000 in the China automobile market, just hoping that the market will be stable, so as not to make everyone feel uncomfortable and others have no way out. The subtext here is that BYD has actually been merciful and didn’t want to roll friends to the death. If it really wants to fight price wars, it also has the ability to play.

As the leader of domestic independent brands, BYD is indeed qualified to say this, which is also the advantage of traditional automobile manufacturers. Therefore, it is difficult for Xiaomi to take advantage of the price of the whole vehicle. If Xiaomi wants to survive in this cruel automobile market, it still needs a little special means.

Of course, in any case, as a "catfish", consumers also hope to see that Xiaomi, the "showstopper", can bring something new to the automobile market. After all, consumers, whether BYD, Xiaomi or Tesla, benefit from the involution between car companies. As consumers, they just want to say one thing and can roll it up a little more.
