The dark horse enterprises that used to be in the new energy automobile market can be said to have lost their scenery recently.

An email of "Notice of Termination of Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an Campus Recruitment" put Ai ‘an on the hot search list.

According to the e-mail, due to the adjustment of the recruitment policy of fresh graduates, the signed tripartite agreement/bilateral agreement was cancelled, and the liquidated damages of 5,000 yuan were paid to the cancelled person.

Before the news that "intensive and fresh graduates canceled the contract", Ai ‘an was also exposed to the rumor of "20% layoffs".

In the face of all kinds of rumors, Ian responded quickly.

"There are only more than 7,000 employees in Ai ‘an, and 20% of layoffs are 1,400. Are they all going to be fired? It is really a malicious smear. " Gu Huinan said.

While rumoring, Ai ‘an also officially reported the case to the public security organ, and the rumour maker will be investigated for legal responsibility according to law.

Rumors may be rumors, but it is an indisputable fact that the sales volume of Ai ‘an has declined this year.

The data shows that from January to May, 2024, the sales volume of Ai ‘an was less than 110,000 vehicles, a year-on-year decrease of 38.71%, which was far from the annual sales target of 700,000 vehicles.

Deal with rumors and call the police. Grab food with your opponent, and you can only find your way forward by yourself.

To tell the truth, although Ai ‘an has not been very conspicuous this year, it has been remarkable for most of its short corporate history.

Among the new brands created by traditional established car companies, Ai ‘an is the fastest and best-performing.

Founded in July 2017, Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an shoulders the heavy responsibility of developing the pure electric new energy automobile business of Guangzhou Automobile Group, and Ai ‘an did not disappoint Guangzhou Automobile Group.

The data shows that from 2019 to 2022, the annual sales volume of GAC Ai ‘an was 42,000, 60,000, 123,700 and 271,000 respectively.

In 2023, it was a year when Ai ‘an broke out completely.

In this year, the annual sales volume of Ai ‘an soared to 480,000 vehicles, up 77% year-on-year, becoming the third largest new energy brand in China and the fastest pure electric vehicle brand with production and sales exceeding one million in the world.

Not only is the sales volume gratifying, but Ian also knows how to make sound.

Feng Xingya, the general manager of GAC, once shouted: "GAC Ai ‘an wants to change the current’ Wei Xiaoli’ into’ Ai Xiaowei’."

In addition, on April 14th, the year before last, Mercedes-Benz announced its electric concept car, with a measured battery life of 1,008 kilometers.

Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an quickly followed up and sent a Weibo: "The 1000km pure electric Zhixing Club is recruiting again."

Because the cow blew too hard, Ian was even criticized by industry experts.

Ou Yangming Gao, a power system expert, said: "If someone says that his electric car can run for 1,000 kilometers and be fully charged in a few minutes, it is particularly safe and the cost is very low, you don’t have to believe it."

In order to prove that his technology is not a fool, Gu Huinan broke his fingers at the press conference to analyze his battery technology for the public, and was also sent to the Internet by a screenshot of a caring person, saying that Gu Huinan’s industry experts held the middle finger.

The menacing Ian can’t let colleagues pay attention.

LI, who was equally prosperous last year, often deliberately kicked Ai ‘an out of the new power sales list when publishing weekly or monthly sales lists, so that he was the first.

Some people say that Ai ‘an is backed by the traditional Guangzhou Automobile, which is not a new force in a strict sense, but the key point is that there are BYD and Geely poles on the list. It is obviously a bit unreasonable to kick Ai ‘an out.

Of course, whether you are on the list or not can’t stop Ai ‘an’s new energy market.

Xiao Yong, deputy general manager of Ai ‘an, even boasted: "We also want to keep a low profile, but our strength does not allow us to keep a low profile".

All the way forward, it is obvious that Ian is full of confidence in the future. At the beginning of this year, Gu Huinan set an ambitious annual sales target for the company-

"Guarantee 700,000 vehicles and strive for 800,000 vehicles."

Now it seems that Ai ‘an’s expectation for 2024 is too optimistic.

In fact, in the last few months of last year, the momentum of Ai ‘an has weakened. In September 2023, the monthly sales volume of Ai ‘an exceeded 50,000 vehicles, but in October, the sales volume dropped to 42,000 vehicles. Moreover, at the critical moment of the year-end sales volume, Ai ‘an failed to break the previous record, always hovering between 41,000 and 46,000 vehicles.

By 2024, the involution degree of the new energy vehicle market is beyond imagination.

The hardest thing to do is BYD.

In February, with the slogan of "electricity is lower than oil", BYD presented the 2024 glory version of Qin PLUS DM-i with a price of 79,800 yuan, and the glory versions of other models also had a decline of 10,000-50,000 yuan. Not long after, Wuling Automobile, Chang ‘an Qiyuan, Nezha Automobile and other car companies also announced their follow-up, and set off a bloody storm in the new energy automobile market within 100,000 yuan.

Since then, there have been several price cuts, which have made many old car owners feel "backstab". Among them, BYD’s new car released at the end of last month has a fuel consumption of 2.9L per 100 kilometers and a comprehensive battery life of 2,100 kilometers, and the price is only 9.98-13.98 million yuan, which is even more shocking to the industry.

These actions are gradually shaking one of the basic disks of Ai ‘an: the network car.

The reason why Ai ‘an got off to a rapid start is that the network car has made a great contribution.

For a long time, Ai ‘an has delivered mainly vehicles with a price of less than 200,000 yuan, which is very popular with drivers.

In this way, Ai ‘an has become the main force in the field of online car and taxi, and has also been dubbed by netizens as a new energy car brand that "knows the middle-aged unemployed best".

According to the data of CITIC Securities, from 2020 to the first half of 2021, the sales of AION S, the main model of Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an, accounted for 60% to 70% in the rental market. In 2023, Ai ‘an’s network car attributes became stronger. According to media statistics, among the 850,000 new cars with network car in that year, GAC Ai ‘an topped the list with sales of nearly 220,000 vehicles.

It has been a long time since it was tied to the network car, and the brand of Ai ‘an seems to be somewhat cheap to many consumers.

But Ian doesn’t think so. After all, he can run around the street all day as a network car, and the quality is definitely up to standard.

Gu Huinan once publicly stated that "the network car is not synonymous with low-end." Xiao Yong of Ai ‘an put it more directly: Ai ‘an will never give up the online car market. If you ask Tesla to take a look at the online car, he may run away in three months.

However, no matter how you look at the online car model, the good days are over after all.

On the one hand, more and more peers are eyeing this cake, and the competition of 100,000-class and 150,000-class network models is becoming more and more fierce. Lian Xiaopeng Automobile also announced that the brand of "MONA", a pure electric car that cooperates with Didi, will start mass production in 2024, and the sword refers to the network car market.

On the other hand, the network car market is gradually saturated with limited increment. Last year and this year, many places across the country issued risk warnings for the network car industry, publicly reminding them to be cautious.

The old road on which to make a fortune is getting harder and harder, and Ian urgently needs to find a new one.

The new energy vehicle market has entered the knockout stage, and then it will only roll up.

In such an environment, Ian actually prepared two ways for himself early in the morning.

The first is to go to sea.

When responding to rumors of "layoffs" not long ago, Gu Huinan also said that this year’s Thai factory, Indonesian factory and Changsha factory in Ai ‘an will be put into production one after another, and they are all recruiting people.

In the next 1-2 years, Aeon will also build production bases in Europe, South America, Africa, the Middle East and other countries. According to the plan of GAC Ai ‘an, the export sales volume of Ai ‘an will reach 5%-10% in 2024. "Export products are better than domestic products in terms of price and brand premium, so export is the most worthwhile thing to do."

The second is the impact of high-end.

In September 2022, Ai ‘an released a brand-new high-end brand Hyperplatinum, and simultaneously launched the first model Hyper, with a price of 1.286 million-1.686 million yuan. In order to match the positioning of high-end brands, at that time, Aian used all housekeeping technologies, including high-performance integrated electric drives, 900V silicon carbide chips, aviation-grade tires, and wind-power transmission shafts …

In the second half of 2023, Haobo launched two models for mass market and positioned the pure electric market of 200,000-300,000.

However, these two roads are not destined to be shortcuts to get rid of difficulties or upgrade.

Going out to sea to enter new countries and regions needs to face the new environment and different consumer demands. Even consumers in some countries are not interested in electric vehicles at all, and every item is a challenge. At the same time, Chery, BYD and other domestic car companies have already rolled overseas, and they can’t get rid of the entanglement of their old rivals as far away as Wan Li.

High-end is even more difficult.

One month after listing, millions of luxury cars began to be delivered, but so far the official has not announced their sales. Some insiders predict that from listing to production suspension, Haoplatinum SSR may have sales of about 300 units. In contrast, BYD sold 608 vehicles in May this year, and the cumulative sales volume has reached 7083 vehicles since its listing and delivery.

Even the relatively cheap Haoplatinum GT and Haoplatinum HT have not been able to carry the banner for the time being. In 2023, the sales volume of Haoplatinum was only 5,251 vehicles.

High-end needs to break through in all aspects such as technical strength, product design and brand design, and at least one or two key places should be able to open a clear gap with their peers. And these will undoubtedly take time to precipitate.

But in today’s new energy vehicle market, time may really wait for no one.

Every moment, no one can relax, and no one has a good way to go.

No matter whether it is going out to sea or high-end, the road ahead of Ai ‘an is by no means.

　　BEIJING, Beijing, June 8 (Shang Qi) This year marks the 40th anniversary of the resumption of the college entrance examination system in China. Since 1977, the college entrance examination has influenced and changed the fate of several generations of China people. The gross enrollment rate of higher education has exceeded 40% from less than 2% at first, and is rapidly approaching the 50% popularization index line. Behind the data, how has the college entrance examination influenced and changed China in the past 40 years? 40 years later, what expectations has the college entrance examination been given by this country?

　　The picture shows that in December, 1977, the candidates of the Beijing College Entrance Examination Center communicated with each other. Weng Naiqiang Photo source: vision china

　　the resumption of college entrance examination

　　— — China’s concept of talents is changing.

　　On October 12, 1977, the State Council approved the Opinions on the Enrollment of Colleges and Universities in 1977 formulated by the Ministry of Education, which stipulated the new enrollment policy of colleges and universities, namely, abolishing the recommendation system, resuming the cultural examination, and selecting the best students.

　　This year, the slogan of "respecting knowledge and talents" took root in China. Li Muzhou, director of the Institute of Higher Education of Hubei University School of Education, has studied the examination system in China for many years. In an interview with a reporter from Zhongxin. com (WeChat WeChat official account: cns2012), he said that at the national level, the resumption of the college entrance examination 40 years ago is to show that the country attaches importance to talents and reconstructs the concept of talents.

　　He explained, "the resumption of the college entrance examination has confirmed the basic role of cultural knowledge and intellectual factors in the selection of talents in colleges and universities. This is a major change in the concept of national talents, and it can also be said that it is the correct return of the concept of national talents."

　　Education in China experienced a "warm winter" in 1977. According to statistics, at the end of that year, about 5.7 million young people "returned" to the college entrance examination, and colleges and universities selected 273,000 students, which greatly improved the quality of freshmen.

　　Over the past 40 years, college students selected through the college entrance examination have gone to various fields in China in batches. They witnessed and participated in the whole process of reform and opening up, and gradually became the backbone to promote the development of this country.

　　Recently, Liu Haifeng, member of the National Education Advisory Committee and director of the Examination Research Center of Xiamen University, wrote that since the resumption of the college entrance examination for 40 years, millions of qualified students have been selected for colleges and universities through fair competition in the college entrance examination, and many of them have become the backbone of all walks of life through training. China’s rapid economic development in recent years is inseparable from the recovery and continuous reform of the college entrance examination system.

　　40 years of practice

　　— — From elite education to mass education

　　"The college entrance examination has different meanings for people of different ages." Li Muzhou told Zhongxin.com that before the reform and opening up, the college entrance examination was largely about selecting national cadres. After the resumption of the college entrance examination, with the reform and opening up, the employment of college graduates gradually shifted from planned distribution to market competition, and more and more college graduates began to choose their own jobs.

　　As experts have said, in the past 40 years, with the changes in the country’s economic and social environment, the college entrance examination itself has also undergone changes. In 1999, the Ministry of Education issued the Opinions on Further Deepening the Reform of the Entrance Examination System in Colleges and Universities, and announced the national college entrance examination reform plan, which opened the prelude to the college entrance examination reform in this period. Since then, self-enrollment, self-proposition by province, and parallel volunteer admission have been explored one after another, and the recruitment methods of colleges and universities in China are more diverse.

　　Also in 1999, higher education in China began to expand the enrollment scale, and the admission rate of college entrance examination also began to rise sharply. According to statistics, from 1998 to 2005, the number of applicants for college entrance examination in China increased by 11.58% annually, and the number of college entrance examinations increased by 23.75% annually. By 2015, the number of students enrolled in higher education in China has reached 37 million, ranking first in the world.

　　According to China Education Online’s 2017 Survey Report, under the background that the total enrollment of college entrance examination has remained stable, the enrollment ratio of college entrance examination in all parts of the country has continued to increase. Among them, the gross enrollment rate of higher education has crossed 40%, rapidly approaching the popularization index line of 50%.

　　Compared with the gross enrollment rate of 1.55% in 1978, some people think that higher education in China has gradually moved from "elite education" to "mass education".

　　Li Muzhou said that higher education will enter the stage of popularization in the future, and the improvement of the popularization rate is conducive to the overall improvement of national literacy. He believes that "the future lies not in whether you have attended a university, but in what university you have attended, and this influence may be even greater."

　　The picture shows that on July 7, 1999, on the first day of the national unified entrance examination for colleges and universities in China, the candidates who took the examination walked out of the examination room. China News Service reporter Liu Kegeng photo

　　Knowledge changes fate.

　　— — Social strata circulate in relative fairness.

　　From "elite education" to "mass education", behind the overall improvement of the popularization rate, the educational equity behind the college entrance examination has always attracted public attention.

　　Last year, Bian Yanjie, dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences of Xi ‘an Jiaotong University and sociologist, presided over a report entitled "Career Opportunities for Rural College Students". According to media reports, all the target samples of the survey came from the existing labor force in the city and were divided into six groups: the first three received higher education, namely, urban college students, rural college students and non-transfer college students; The last three have not yet received higher education, including the general urban labor force, rural-to-non labor force and migrant workers.

　　According to the report, for college students from rural areas to urban areas, they have the same opportunities to work in party and government organs and state-owned enterprises, and they also have the same opportunities to engage in elite occupations, with similar economic income levels, while the three types of non-college students mainly engage in non-elite occupations.

　　Li Muzhou told the reporter of Zhongxin.com that the urbanization process in China is very fast, but the rural population still accounts for the vast majority. Therefore, the college entrance examination provides them with an important way to change their destiny through higher education.

　　The "Implementation Opinions of the State Council on Deepening the Reform of the Examination Enrollment System" issued in September 2014 clearly stated that the number of rural students attending key universities should be increased, and the national special plan for targeted enrollment in rural poverty-stricken areas should continue to be implemented, and key universities should target targeted enrollment in poverty-stricken areas.

　　The opinion also made it clear that subordinate universities and provincial key universities should arrange a certain proportion of places to recruit outstanding rural students from remote, poor and ethnic minority areas. In 2017, the number of rural students entering key universities in poverty-stricken areas increased significantly, forming a long-term mechanism to ensure rural students to attend key universities.

　　Changes and Invariance of College Entrance Examination in the Future

　　— — Do you still believe in "one exam will fix you for life"?

　　In recent years, whenever there is a college entrance examination, there will be doubts about the disadvantages of the college entrance examination in public opinion, such as "a thousand troops crossing the wooden bridge", "one exam will set you for life" and "the baton of the college entrance examination".

　　As for the current examination enrollment system in China, the above-mentioned "Implementation Opinions of the State Council on Deepening the Reform of the Examination Enrollment System" also points out that the examination enrollment system in China is generally in line with the national conditions, authoritative and fair, and is recognized by the society. However, there are also some problems that are strongly reflected by the society. The main reason is that the score theory affects the all-round development of students, and the students’ learning burden is too heavy. There are gaps in enrollment opportunities between regions and urban and rural areas, and the phenomenon of cheating extra points and illegal enrollment occurs from time to time.

　　Nowadays, the scale of high school graduates studying abroad in China is increasing. It is pointed out by some voices that the growing number of students studying abroad also reflects from one side that parents and students in China are "voting with their feet" in the face of the college entrance examination.

　　"This will force the reform of the domestic college entrance examination system." Li Muzhou said that the foreign enrollment system has its advantages, such as multiple examinations, rich and flexible subject design, and relatively strong autonomy of colleges and universities … … These are problems that have not been completely solved in China’s college entrance examination system.

　　In fact, the practice of the college entrance examination in the past 40 years has not remained unchanged. Qu Zhenyuan, president of China Higher Education Society, pointed out to the media that in recent years, all aspects of college entrance examination enrollment have been reformed, including examination subjects, examination contents, examination times, examination methods, scoring methods, proposition methods, voluntary reporting methods, admission system, college entrance examination time, and charging system, and almost no aspect has not been tried or touched.

　　The latest changes have appeared in this year’s college entrance examination. These days, high school graduates in Shanghai and Zhejiang are welcoming the first "new college entrance examination". The results of the college entrance examination are composed of three unified college entrance examination scores of Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages, and three students’ self-selected examination subjects. The foreign language test is changed from once a year to twice a year, and you can choose a better score to be included in the total score of the college entrance examination.

　　Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at China Academy of Educational Sciences, said in an interview with Zhongxin.com that the reform of the college entrance examination enrollment system will be in a period of fluctuation in the coming period, and the key to the reform of the college entrance examination is to implement more professional evaluation.

　　He said, "The current examination system can achieve good results through a lot of training, and the actual test results are relatively distorted. As a professional education evaluation, the influence of intensive training on the test results should be eliminated as much as possible."

　　Li Muzhou hopes that through the reform of system design, the situation of "one exam will be fixed for life" will be changed.

　　"For example, let students have multiple exams and even multiple admissions opportunities, and further strengthen the separation of recruitment. Colleges and universities should study their own school-running orientation, formulate examination plans that meet their freshmen’s characteristics, and gradually break the people’s inherent understanding of the college entrance examination." He said.

　　Obviously, 40 years later, the college entrance examination still carries the heavy expectations of this country. (End)

Owner 1:

[most satisfied]

The appearance is really beautiful, but the most important thing is that the cost performance is very high, and the practicality is no problem at all, because there is still a good space and it is also relatively economical. From these two points of view, I think it is already very good, and it is indeed a good car.

[most dissatisfied]

The main thing is that the smell of the interior is relatively strong, and there is no problem in other places. It feels quite good.

[space]

I’m 178-year-old, sitting in the driver’s seat, and I feel that my legs have a lot of room to move. I’m not used to adjusting my seat too far back, which is good and won’t affect the back seat.

[Power]

1.6 self-priming, this power is definitely a drop in the urban area, starting smoothly, and the power output in the latter part is also more powerful!

[manipulation]

I used to drive all the cars with manual transmission, but I’m especially used to driving this one. The gear lever is flexible, and it’s easy to shift gears, and the feeling of that and inhalation is very strong.

【】

It’s extremely low, plus I’ve been in fall in price for a while, and I’ve been driving in the urban area all day, with an average of about 7. It’s really not painful to refuel.

[Comfort]

I used a seat made of imitation leather. At that time, I was quite satisfied when I first looked at the car. After all, it looked much higher than the fabric seat. Haha, of course, the comfort was better and I felt very soft.

[Appearance]

I think this design is still very beautiful, and the value of plus can be said to be very high, which is a stronger evolution than it can be said.

[Interior]

The taste is really strong. From this point of view, I still feel a little unacceptable. I feel that this taste is really pungent and hard to get rid of.

[Cost-effective]

Due to the limitation of car purchase budget, I still focus on cost performance and practicality. For this price, I think plus is already great.

[Why did you choose this car]

At that time, when I bought a car, I didn’t have much budget. I originally wanted to buy a high-end plus, but in the end I thought it would be better to buy a minimum one. For me, it is more of a transitional car, so this configuration is completely enough. After all, the price can be lower.

Owner 2:

[most satisfied]

1.6 liters of natural inhalation can really give me a very reliable power guarantee, and it is not too high. The main reason is that this design is really beautiful, which can be said to be very confident and comfortable. I really didn’t expect such a configuration at this price.

[most dissatisfied]

At present, I’m really not used to this. I’m really a little too sensitive. My wife almost hit her head on the steering wheel when she opened it for the first time. After getting used to it, she should get better gradually.

[space]

The trunk is very large, and I have children at home. Every time I go back to my hometown, she cleans up a lot of things. Fortunately, this car can be stuffed.

[Power]

Although it is a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated, the dynamic response is particularly positive. When I start, I usually step on the accelerator and leave, and the acceleration shift is quite stable.

[manipulation]

The reaction is too sensitive. Sometimes if I don’t pay attention to a little effort, it will be a tight one, which will make people feel scared. Haha, this should also be related to my driving skills. Such a sensitive person is still very supportive. Although it is said that sometimes it does not adapt, it will gradually get better.

【】

I have about seven cars now, and the change range of this car is really small. Even if the technology is not good, the impact is not particularly great, and the manual transmission is also fuel-efficient.

[Comfort]

The weather is not officially hot yet, but it was really hot when I went out to play last time. I tried the air conditioner and felt that the cooling speed was very fast and super awesome.

[Appearance]

My friends spoke highly of the appearance of this car. No matter how it is said, the appearance is also the first impression. Others say that the appearance is for others to see, but it must be arranged clearly.

[Interior]

I am also quite satisfied with the interior. After all, I only bought the minimum plus, and most of the interior is wrapped in leather. I am already very satisfied, which can be said to be a little touched, haha.

[Cost-effective]

I think it is quite good that plus can achieve this level at this price. The key is the kind materials, which really touched me.

[Why did you choose this car]

Finally, I know why plus doesn’t have such a big discount. At that time, I was a little entangled when I bought a car. After all, the discount was not strong, but it took me so long to understand. At that time, a friend gave me advice when I bought a car. In fact, the price of this car is not much higher. It is worth buying, and it is really worth buying.

　　Huawei’s Mate XT Extraordinary Master and Apple’s iPhone 16 series mobile phones were also officially launched on September 20 after the new product launch conference was held at the same time.

　　After the official launch on September 20th, Huawei Mate XT Extraordinary Master Series, the world’s first three-fold screen mobile phone, snapped up direct "second light" online. It is understood that the official stores of Huawei Mate XT Extraordinary Masters are currently out of stock, and some third-party stores need to increase their prices even if they have goods, such as the 16GB+512GB (Ruihong) model. The price of Huawei Mall is 21999 yuan, and the price of the same mobile phone in the third-party stores of JD.COM Mall is 36999 yuan, which is 68% higher than the official price.

　　Similarly, the newly-launched Apple iPhone 16 series phones are also queued in Apple stores, but most of Apple’s flagship stores in JD.COM are sold in stock. For the hot-selling phenomenon of Huawei Mate XT extraordinary master series and Apple iPhone 16 series mobile phones, some institutions believe that it will have a positive incitement to the development of Huawei’s industrial chain and Apple’s industrial chain.

　　Huawei and Apple Promote Iteration of Mobile Phone Technology

　　Three-fold screen, Apple intelligent system comes out

　　Huawei Mate XT is the world’s first three-fold screen mobile phone, while Apple iPhone 16 series mobile phones are integrated into its own AI technology system-Apple Intelligence.

　　IPhone 16 is Apple’s first smartphone built around AI. In the autumn conference of Apple with the theme of "highlight moment", Apple released the iPhone 16 series and iPhone 16 Pro series, and also released new wearable devices such as AirPods 4 and Apple Watch Series 10. In terms of chips of iPhone 16 series and iPhone 16 Pro series, the standard version of iPhone 16 is equipped with A18 chip, and the flagship model of iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max is equipped with A18 Pro chip. A18/A18 Pro bionic chip adopts the world’s first batch of second-generation 3nm process, and the transistor is smaller, faster and more energy efficient. Adopt the latest Armv9 instruction set architecture, equipped with 6-core CPU(2 performance cores +4 energy efficiency cores); There is also a 16-core neural network engine optimized for running large generative AI models. Compared with A16 bionic chip used in iPhone 15, the new neural engine machine learning speed is up to 2 times.

　　According to Sribalan Santhanam, vice president of Apple’s silicon engineering team, the CPU of A18 Pro is "the fastest CPU in today’s smart phones", which has a larger cache than A18, saves more power in handling complex tasks, and has a new generation of machine learning accelerator built in, which can help drive Apple Intelligence. The difference between A18 Pro and A18 is also reflected in the number of GPU cores. Among them, A18 Pro is equipped with 6-core GPU and A18 is equipped with 5-core GPU.

　　At the Apple conference, the demonstration of Apple Intelligence was the highlight, and Apple Intelligence has always been regarded as a milestone in the development of end-side AI. In the demonstration, Apple Smart can help users to generate emoticons and generate summaries for emails, messages and notifications, but the Apple Smart function failed to be installed in the iPhone 16/iPhone 16 Pro series mobile phones at the first time. It is understood that Apple Smart is expected to launch a beta version of English in the US market in October, and the China market will be launched in 2025. In the official version of iOS 18 pushed by Apple to iPhone users on September 17, Apple’s smart related functions did not appear.

　　In terms of price, the price of iPhone 16 equipped with A18 is 5999 yuan, and the price of iPhone 16 Plus is 6999 yuan. The iPhone 16 Pro equipped with A18 Pro starts at 7999 yuan, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max starts at 9999 yuan.

　　On the same day that Apple held a new product launch conference, Huawei saw the extraordinary brand ceremony and HarmonyOS Zhixing held a new product launch conference in Shenzhen. At this conference, Huawei officially launched the world’s first mass-produced three-folding-screen mobile phone Mate XT extraordinary master, and at the same time launched new products such as the M9 five-seat model and the first smart coupe SUV Zhijie R7.

　　According to the introduction of Huawei Mall, the extraordinary master of Huawei Mate XT has achieved many technological breakthroughs, such as Huawei Tiangong Hinge System, which has achieved internal and external bending for the first time, and at the same time relied on unique innovative technology to achieve slimness of the whole machine. For another example, the screen of this product adopts laminated design and uses the industry’s largest ultra-thin flexible glass (UTG), which has strong impact resistance. From the user’s point of view, Huawei Mate XT extraordinary master can provide a better office and entertainment experience, such as providing AI empowerment for users’ work and study through the Pangu model, and opening up the boundaries between mobile phones and computers.

　　At the new product launch conference, Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei and chairman of BG, said that behind the launch of the three-folding-screen mobile phone was Huawei’s continuous in-depth research and development in the fields of imaging technology, folding hinge and basic material science. This mobile phone realized the industry-leading technologies such as a new generation of double-rotating water drop hinge, ultra-reliable Kunlun glass and non-Newtonian fluid inner screen.

　　Regarding the release of Mate XT, Liu Xingliang, an expert from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that this marks another major breakthrough in folding screen technology of Huawei, a microcosm of Huawei’s technological innovation and a new starting point for the development of the entire smartphone supply chain.

　　According to the information of Huawei Mall, Huawei Mate XT Master currently has two colors and three versions, namely 16GB+256GB, 16GB+512GB and 16GB+1TB, and the prices are 19999 yuan, 21999 yuan and 23999 yuan respectively. Before Huawei released the mobile phone, the number of reservations in Huawei Mall exceeded 3.4 million, and before the official launch on September 20, the number of reservations had exceeded 6.85 million. After the official sale, Huawei Mate XT extraordinary master series mobile phones are sold online every day, that is, every second, and they are out of stock.

　　Many organizations expect that the launch of new products from Apple and Huawei will promote the arrival of mobile phone replacement, and also bring new development opportunities to related supply chains.

　　Apple’s mobile phone "super cycle" is difficult to reproduce.

　　Yongxing Securities pointed out in the newly released research report that "the extraordinary master of Mate XT launched by Huawei and related industrial chains are expected to continue to benefit. Mate XT’s unique design includes two hinges, one folding inward and the other folding outward, enabling the device to form a zigzag fold. When fully unfolded, it will show a 10.2-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2232×3184 and an aspect ratio of 16:11. We believe that with the release of new folding screen mobile phones, relevant industrial chains are expected to continue to benefit. TechInsights predicts that the global shipment of iPhone 16 series will reach 73 million units in 2024, and related industrial chains are expected to continue to benefit. The iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to become the highest-selling model of the iPhone 16 series, accounting for 35% of the total sales. We believe that Apple’s press conference may promote the process of user replacement, and related industrial chains are expected to continue to benefit. "

　　According to the data of iResearch, in the folding screen mobile phone market in the first half of the year, Huawei occupied 42% of the market share, while in the ultra-high-end market of more than 10,000 yuan, Huawei’s market share reached 67%. According to IDC’s forecast, in 2024, the China folding screen mobile phone market shipped about 10.68 million units, a year-on-year increase of 52.4%; By 2028, the shipment of folding screen mobile phones in China will exceed 17 million units, with a five-year compound growth rate of 19.8%. IDC predicts that China’s folding screen mobile phone market will occupy about 40% of the global market share for a long time.

　　In terms of Apple, there have been two rounds of "supercycle" in Apple’s history, one was caused by the iPhone 6 series and the other was caused by the iPhone 12 series. The former met the needs of Apple users for large-screen mobile phones, while the latter was based on 5G connection and all OLED displays. Take the iPhone 12 series as an example. The product series was released in October 2020, and by April of the following year, the sales volume of the whole series of mobile phones exceeded 100 million.

　　However, although the newly released iPhone 16 series this year includes a number of innovative technologies including Apple Intelligence, the newly released report of market research organization Counterpoint Research believes that Apple’s intelligent function has limited boosting effect on iPhone 16 sales, so it is unlikely that there will be a sales "supercycle" this year. The report predicts that there will be no sales blowout in the short term.

　　Multi-folding screen and apple industry chain viewed by institutions

　　In the secondary market, institutions have looked at the multi-fold screen industry chain and the Apple industry chain.

　　For example, Yongxing Securities believes that the folding screen benefits from the release of the new Android machine, and it is recommended to pay attention to (), (), Tonglian Precision, (), (), (); In terms of Apple’s industrial chain, thanks to the release of the new iPhone, it is suggested to pay attention to (), (), (), () and so on.

　　Take Dongshan Precision recommended by Yongxing Securities and Haitong Securities as an example. Some investors asked the company in Shenzhen Stock Exchange: "Huawei Extraordinary Masters released more than 3 million reservations, and Apple released 16 with its own AI function. It is expected that the replacement boom will come soon. Will your PCB orders increase?" On September 12th, the company replied, "The company’s electronic circuit sector mainly serves customers in consumer electronics, new energy vehicles, servers, industrial control, communication equipment, medical care and other industries, while paying attention to the application of new technologies and new products, attaching importance to R&D, innovation and product upgrading, and striving to enhance the company’s market position and core competitiveness."

　　In the secondary market, the Apple Index rose by 0.22% from September 10 to September 24, and the interval showed that it first fell and then rose. Among the 50 constituent stocks, there are 7 companies whose share prices have increased by more than 5%, among which the market value of Industrial Fulian and Luxshare exceeds 100 billion yuan (see attached table).

　　"The card is still there, and the money was stolen", "The credit card slip was abandoned casually, and money was lost", "Filling in the online questionnaire for the gift, and being harassed by the phone" … … These phenomena are not uncommon, and most of them are related to the disclosure of personal financial information.

　　At present, the Internet platform has become a widespread collector and user of personal information and data, but some institutions are not optimistic about the protection of consumers’ financial information. Recently, a research article published by the research group of the Financial Consumer Rights Protection Bureau of the People’s Bank of China pointed out that some head Internet platforms have some problems in terms of format, information collection and use, and marketing promotion.

　　Come and learn about the common "routines" used by some institutions to collect personal financial information, which will help you polish your eyes and "reverse routines".

　　1. The "terms" are rich in content and professional, and consumers are over-collected without knowing it.

　　When registering financial applications on mobile phones, there are often relevant clauses and privacy policy statements issued in the form of format contracts, requiring users to agree to authorization. However, most people have not carefully read these "terms" with various contents and strong professionalism. Even if consumers read the terms carefully, if they don’t agree, it often means that they can’t use the software.

　　As everyone knows, in actual implementation, such clauses often excessively collect the information of financial consumers. In addition to some necessary information, many Internet platforms have collected additional information about financial consumers’ identities, transactions, assets and liabilities, litigation information, performance information and judgment information of performance ability.

　　According to the relevant persons of the Central Bank’s Financial Consumer Rights Protection Bureau, on the one hand, the Internet platform has absolute "right to speak" on the scope of information collection, and the scope of "necessary information" collected is too wide; On the other hand, consumers may not really "know" or "agree" with the content of information collected by Internet platforms.

　　To this end, the Measures for the Administration of Credit Information Business (Draft for Comment) promulgated by the People’s Bank of China in January this year clearly stipulates that credit information collection by credit reporting agencies should follow the principle of "minimum and necessity" and should not be excessively collected. The collection of personal credit information by a credit reporting agency shall be subject to the consent of the information subject, and clearly inform the information subject of the purpose, information source and information scope of collecting credit information, as well as the possible adverse consequences of not agreeing to collect information.

　　2. Excessive tracking and collection of users’ "digital footprints", and "precision marketing" is highly induced.

　　Many people have this experience: only after searching for a brand new mobile phone, the consumer loan advertisement of small loan company appears in front of them; I just praised the face value of a star in a circle of friends, and the recommendation of medical cosmetic surgery and "cosmetic loan" came naturally … …

　　Behind these "precision marketing" is the "full mastery" of personal information of financial consumers by some Internet platforms. Driven by commercial interests, some large Internet platforms will excessively track and collect users’ "digital footprints" and improperly use data-driven marketing strategies.

　　Among the many "digital footprints" of users, all kinds of financial information, including account information, transaction information, credit information, etc., are the most valuable, which can build the "credit" pillar of large-scale Internet platforms. By digging up users’ financial behavior, analyzing the characteristics of users’ financial behavior and pushing a large number of financial marketing advertisements, "ahead of consumption" and "over consumption" are accepted by some people with fragile credit.

　　When more high-risk and low-net-worth people are attracted into the "unsecured consumer loan" trap, financial risks are quietly brewing. Therefore, the research group of the Central Bank’s Financial Consumer Rights Protection Bureau reminded that it is necessary to urge large-scale Internet platforms to tap the value of information under the premise of legality, compliance, reasonableness, reasonableness and moderation, and promote consumption upgrading, instead of "wool" information, let alone killing the goose that lays the golden eggs and exhausting the resources.

　　3. Internet platform improves the "availability" of credit, but often ignores the "affordability".

　　You don’t have to "grovel" in front of friends and relatives to borrow money. You just need to apply for a loan on the Internet platform and you will have the opportunity to get financial support. It is true that this has improved the "availability" of credit, but for people with fragile credit, behind the great temptation is the "affordability" that is easily overlooked.

　　In the view of the research group, the development of digital inclusive finance cannot be separated from the foundation of consumer protection and personal financial information protection, and it is necessary to urge large Internet platforms to establish the concept of "responsible finance".

　　The research group suggested that the financial business should be fully regulated according to law, the supervision of large-scale Internet platforms should be strengthened, the anti-monopoly review of large-scale Internet platform enterprises should be strengthened, and the financial marketing propaganda behavior of large-scale Internet platforms should be standardized.

　　4. How do consumers protect the security of personal financial information? Expert advice:

　　(1) Keep bank cards, ID cards, electronic banking authentication media, etc. properly, and never rent or lend them to others for use;

　　(2) In daily life or on the Internet, don’t disclose basic information such as bank card number, account password, SMS verification code and property status to others at will;

　　(3) Try to handle financial business in person, and don’t entrust unfamiliar people or intermediaries to guard against personal information being stolen;

　　(4) When downloading and installing the App or handling business in a third party, pay attention to the relevant authorization authority, carefully read the relevant agreements, contract terms and fill in personal information to avoid illegal use of important information;

　　(5) Do not discard transaction vouchers such as credit card purchase orders, ATM receipts, credit card statements, etc. The invalid financial business documents should be shredded or destroyed by a shredder;

　　(6) Be wary of telephone calls and emails asking you for personal financial information. If you encounter such situations, you should be vigilant and call the police immediately if necessary;

　　(7) When providing copies of personal identity documents for various businesses, the purpose of use shall be indicated on the copies to prevent the copies of identity documents from being used for other purposes. (Wu Yu, Tang Jianhui)

Yunnan golden monkey is a national first-class protected animal, which is mainly distributed in the alpine virgin forests in northwest Yunnan and southeast Tibet. It is known as the "Snow Mountain Spirit" and an endangered species in the red list of the World Conservation Union.

This is the Yunnan golden monkey in Shangri-La Yunnan Golden Monkey National Park, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province (photo taken on March 16).

Around 1980s, hunting and logging destroyed the habitat of Yunnan golden monkey, and the number of monkeys once decreased, so the protection situation was grim. In order to save the endangered Yunnan golden monkey, China established Baima Snow Mountain Nature Reserve, explored the protection mode of "community condominium", combined protection with the survival and development of surrounding residents, and promoted the recovery growth of Yunnan golden monkey.

The monitoring results of Yunnan Forestry and Grassland Bureau show that after years of efforts, the protection effect of Yunnan golden monkey is obvious. The population of Yunnan golden monkey increased from about 1000 to 1500 in 13 groups in 1996 and 3000 in 18 groups in 2016 to more than 3300 in 23 groups at present.

Since 2019, 13 organizations including Yunnan Forestry and Grassland Bureau, Yunnan Green Environment Development Foundation and Nature Conservancy (TNC) have jointly launched the "Yunnan Golden Monkey Whole Territory Protection Network", trying to establish a multi-party joint protection mechanism, taking actions from patrol monitoring, corridor restoration, community participation, friendly development and public participation, and striving to achieve sustained and healthy growth of Yunnan Golden Monkey population and comprehensive improvement of the health level of its habitat ecosystem.
