Does BYD Han ev need to install chassis guard?

https://car3.autoimg.cn/cardfs/product/g31/M07/6A/89/800x600_0_autohomecar__autohomecar__ChtlyGXbLcqABwXdACoSzzdZfRU197.jpg

BYD Han EV is an electric car, so it doesn’t need chassis guard.

Chassis guard is a device used to protect the bottom of the vehicle, and the battery pack of electric vehicles is usually located at the bottom of the vehicle, so installing chassis guard may cause damage to the battery pack.

In addition, the chassis guard will also affect the aerodynamic design of the vehicle and reduce the cruising range of the vehicle. Therefore, it is not recommended to install chassis guards.

For BYD Han EV owners, in order to protect the battery pack, you can choose to install a battery guard. The battery guard can completely surround the battery, reducing the risk of battery bumping.

However, it should be noted that the installation of battery guard may affect the heat dissipation effect of the battery, thus affecting the performance and cruising range of the vehicle.

Therefore, before installing the battery guard, it is recommended to consult the advice of professional technicians.

Li Shufu has been building a car for 20 years from "car madman" to "dream catcher"

Compared with 10 years ago, few people now describe Li Shufu as a "car madman". This is not because he is not as "crazy" as before, but because many statements and practices that were considered crazy before have finally become a reality.

In 1997, the policy had not yet opened the floodgates for private enterprises to build cars. Li Shufu’s dream of "building cars" was an idiotic dream to the world, but he did not give up. Five years later, in 2002, Li Shufu officially obtained the policy "birth certificate" and became the first person to build a private car. In 2002, when Li Shufu said at an internal meeting that he wanted to buy Volvo, even insiders thought he was "crazy". Eight years later, he officially married the proud "Nordic Princess" despite all difficulties.

Li Shufu once dreamed of "building a car like Mercedes-Benz", but he started from scratch technically. When he first entered the business, he had to be skilled and dismantle the Mercedes-Benz car he bought for millions of dollars to learn and imitate. Later, he became the largest shareholder of Daimler Automobile Group.

According to the first half financial report released by Geely Automobile Holdings Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Geely Automobile", 0175.HK) on August 22, the operating income of Geely Automobile in the first half of 2018 reached 53.71 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 36%; The net profit attributable to the parent company was 6.67 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 54%, making it the most profitable car company for its own brand.

At the same time, Geely Automobile sold 767,000 vehicles in the first half of the year, up 44% year-on-year, becoming the top three brands in the domestic market.

When he first entered the business, Li Shufu said that his biggest dream was to "let China cars travel all over the world, not let the cars of the world travel all over China". Everyone thinks that this is simply a distant fantasy. But at present, Geely Automobile has begun to enter ASEAN countries, and plans to enter mainstream markets such as Europe and the United States in the next step.

I’m not a car maniac.

Li Shufu’s classic sentence of "a car is just four wheels and a sofa" is widely known in the industry. At that time, this sentence caused a lot of criticism. Many years later, people are still willing to "bring up the past" to remember the past and talk about the leap-forward changes of Geely Automobile in the past 20 years.

But Li Shufu himself doesn’t like to mention this sentence very much. He has explained the background and reasons for saying this sentence on many occasions, and stressed that it is not appropriate to simply understand this sentence as "Li Shufu thinks building a car is very simple".

Before entering the automobile industry, he started his business five times, and the first bucket of gold in his life came from taking pictures of people. The older generation of Taizhou people still vaguely remember such a picture. In 1982, in Li Jiacun, luqiao district, Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, a boy wearing a straw hat was often seen on a worn-out bicycle. He walked around the streets to take pictures of others to make money, and promised not to like it or ask for money. At that time, when the monthly salary was no more than 50 yuan, Li Shufu earned 2,000 yuan a year, and he soon opened a photo studio with the money he earned. This was his first venture. That year, he was only 20 years old.

In the great wave of reform and opening up, Li Shufu boldly tried various market opportunities. From photo studio to refrigerator manufacturing, decorating materials and producing motorcycles. With a keen market sense and a down-to-earth attitude, Li Shufu can succeed almost every time he enters an industry. In 1989, the output value of his refrigerator factory has exceeded tens of millions of yuan. The output reaches 600 to 1000 units a day, and there are long queues of foreign trucks pulling goods. But the swarming imitators made him feel helpless and forced to move to a new industry.

Later, Li Shufu set his sights on the car. At that time, private enterprises have not been approved to enter the field of car making, and the players in the market are all state-owned enterprises. Cars are far from entering ordinary families. A Santana with a price of more than 200,000 yuan still needs to find a relationship to buy. But "in the United States, one year’s salary can buy two cars. In China, we can’t buy a car for ten years’ salary, so this car can’t be popularized. Li Shufu thought that if a car of about 50,000 yuan can be built, there must be a huge market space. At the same time, "I think automobile is a highly comprehensive and complicated business, and people can’t easily enter this industry and destroy the whole pattern". These two factors determined him to devote himself to the automobile industry.

Li Shufu, who was not yet in the water, was not very clear at that time how high the barriers in the automobile industry were and how big the challenges were. But like the previous five ventures, once he thought of it, he began to act. Some people laughed at him, and a private enterprise actually came to build a car. Li Shufu was unconvinced: "Isn’t a car just four wheels and a sofa?" When this was said, people even thought it was a joke. The name "car madman" spread slowly.

But he doesn’t care about the outside world’s views. "I study very hard, watch the news broadcast every day, see what Obama is saying, and see how the automobile industry changes every day." Later, he said more than once that the timing for Geely to enter the automobile industry is the best, "not one year earlier, not one year later". Facts have proved that this is also the case. After Geely, the market also experienced a "car-making fever" of private enterprises. Oaks, Midea and other enterprises all entered the automobile industry across the border, but they all failed.

Please give me a chance to fail.

Li Shufu was born with a flexible mind, and he couldn’t build it himself. He started with imitation and "built" the first Geely pride car by hammer and hand. What really makes him feel the pressure is that there is no "birth certificate". Li Shufu saved the country by curve, and finally successfully acquired a bus manufacturing enterprise in Deyang, Sichuan, and produced it with the acquired bus qualification.

Strictly speaking, this is not in line with the specification. Geely’s development can’t always rely on the edge of the ball. At that time, Li Shufu’s investment in the automobile industry had reached more than one billion. He joked that he had "put his life and life on the line", but he had no choice but to wait on how to get the production qualification. In 2001, China’s automobile industry policy changed from catalog management to announcement management. Li Shufu quickly reported the improved models of two new cars of Geely to the relevant state departments, hoping to enter the new issue of Announcement of Vehicle Manufacturers and Products.

He was full of expectations for the loosening of the policy, but the result disappointed him again. "When someone told Li Shufu that Geely was excluded from the catalogue on the day when the Announcement was published, he didn’t even have the courage to pick up the newspaper that published the Announcement himself," wrote a report in China Entrepreneur that year. But he still didn’t want to give up. At that time, a company in Zhejiang Province wanted to buy Geely, and the two sides talked back and forth several times. In the end, Li Shufu did not sell it. "Geely is someone who wants to buy it, but I will not give it. I would rather fail and I will not sell it." "Please give me a chance to fail," he said to Zeng Peiyan, then director of the State Planning Commission, who came to inspect. This sentence is still widely circulated today.

Wu Xiaobo, a financial writer, talks about the biggest difference between a businessman and an entrepreneur. He thinks that "being good at discovering and tapping market opportunities, acting according to the situation, pursuing profits, and carefully calculating risks and benefits" is a necessary condition for a successful businessman, while entrepreneurs will concentrate more on a certain cause, persevere, and sometimes even do whatever it takes.

It sounds like Li Shufu had some "entrepreneur" potential at that time. In people’s eyes, Li Shufu, a "car madman", began to gradually transition from that arrogant layman to a very persistent and fanatical "dream catcher".

Geely finally got the production qualification on the eve of China’s entry into WTO, and Li Shufu was overjoyed. However, people at that time were pessimistic about the prospect of Geely building cars.

Liu Chuanzhi, founder of Lenovo Group, said when he participated in the CCTV program: "I think Li Shufu has not got cheese now, but he has only got the right to look for cheese." He added that having the right to look for it and being able to get it are two different things, and it’s really not possible that there may be eighteen layers of hell behind it.

More than ten years later, in 2017, Geely acquired the equity of Daimler Group and became the largest shareholder of the other party. Liu Chuanzhi, who was worried about his future at that time, felt that Li Shufu bought Volvo and became a major shareholder of Mercedes-Benz, which was "a shame for the parents of China enterprises".

According to Liu Chuanzhi’s standards, in just 20 years’ pioneering course, Li Shufu’s face for the parents of China enterprises is far more than buying Volvo and taking shares in Mercedes-Benz. Starting from zero, it took only 20 years, and Geely’s annual sales volume has exceeded 1.2 million vehicles, with sales approaching 300 billion yuan, making it the first private company. Through overseas mergers and acquisitions and cooperation, Geely has owned many brands such as Geely, Volvo, Link, Taxi to London, Proton and Lotus. There are four core R&D institutions in the world, with more than 10,000 R&D personnel. Besides having production bases in Britain and Malaysia, there are also ATLAS factories in Belarus, and the products have been sold in ASEAN and Russia, and will enter the European market in 2020.

Not long ago, Fortune Global 500 was released. Among the six China car companies on the list, Geely is not only the only private enterprise, but also the one with the highest profit rate. On Forbes’ list of the world’s richest people, Li Shufu became the richest man in China’s automobile industry.

Many people want to know, what is the secret of Li Shufu’s success? In a sharing activity held by Geely in November 2013, Li Shufu summed up his years of experience as 24 words of "truth": "pursuing ideals, grasping business opportunities, persisting in faith, not afraid of failure, making decisions with heart, and gathering strength" as the secret of his success.

So, can you replicate success by knowing the secret? After Geely completed the acquisition of Volvo, a reporter asked Li Shufu a similar question, and he replied: How to copy it? There is only one Volvo and only one Geely.

Because of love, "snake swallows elephant"

Although overseas mergers and acquisitions are nothing new in the automobile industry, successful cases are rare. It is rare that there are successful mergers and acquisitions, and then they can be as successful as Volvo today in the process of operation.

When Geely acquired Volvo, the latter sold only 370,000 vehicles worldwide, and by this year, Volvo’s global sales are expected to exceed 600,000 vehicles. Under Ford, Volvo faced huge losses in 2008. After being acquired by Geely, Volvo achieved the best performance in history in the first half of this year, with an operating profit of SEK 7.8 billion, or about RMB 5.9 billion. In fact, before the acquisition of Volvo, Geely also acquired Australia’s DSI automatic transmission company and completed the acquisition of London taxi company, but these two mergers and acquisitions did not bring an immediate leap to Geely’s development, and the attention aroused in the industry was far less than that of the acquisition of Volvo.

Geely’s acquisition of Volvo attracted wide attention, not only because it was the biggest overseas acquisition of China car companies at that time, but also because it reflected Geely’s forbearance and persistence in defying all difficulties, as well as Li Shufu’s keen sense of smell and management wisdom with oriental philosophy.

In 2002, Geely just got the qualification of car production. Li Shufu first talked about wanting to buy Volvo at an internal meeting. At that time, Yang Jian, An Conghui and other senior executives attending the meeting were shocked. Although Volvo was "committed" to Ford at that time, Volvo enjoyed the same brand reputation as BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi all over the world throughout the 20th century. Geely, a little-known China enterprise, wants to buy a world-famous luxury brand, which is tantamount to a fable.

But Li Shufu asserted at that time that both GM and Ford would go bankrupt, and Ford would eventually choose to sell Volvo. The "wild talk" that was recognized at that time was fulfilled one by one a few years later. Li Shufu was ready when Ford planned to slim down and began to find buyers for its assets including Volvo under the strategy of "one Ford".

Since 2007, Geely has started internal transformation in order to gain more points in the process of merger and acquisition. At first, Ford didn’t pay attention to this pursuer whose strength was far from Volvo, but Li Shufu was not discouraged, and went to the door again and again, and finally gained the goodwill and trust of the other party. Although it was recognized by Ford, at that time, Volvo employees and trade unions were still full of distrust about whether Geely, a China enterprise with little influence in the international market, could lead Volvo to the bright future.

At the end of the acquisition preparation, Li Shufu met with the trade union for the first time. A trade union representative asked him in slightly hostile words, can you explain why you want to buy Volvo in one sentence? Li Shufu said loudly: "I love you!" At that time, I won the favor of the other party. Later, when Li Shufu was interviewed by CCTV, the host asked him, was this answer prepared before? Li Shufu replied: "I have always thought so."

Li Shufu loved Volvo so much that he cried when the merger marathon, which lasted for several years, finally came to an end. On March 28, 2010, in London, England, he bowed his head and signed the documents half a meter high on the table one by one. He lay motionless on the table. After a long time, when it was time to connect with Hangzhou Geely headquarters, Li Shufu looked up. Yin Daqing, then CFO of Geely Holding Group, found that Li Shufu’s tears fell like broken beads.

At the beginning of 2010, when Geely’s acquisition of Volvo entered the most difficult negotiation stage, Li Shufu said in an interview with China Entrepreneur: "If I can choose again, I would like to choose a more free career: journalist, lawyer, poet, writer, painter and singer."

Li Shufu had a special hobby in his early years — — Write poems and lyrics. He once wrote: "People are on a journey, who knows how many roads there are ahead, and the ups and downs have long been left in the depths of memory. The sunshine and starlight guide me in the morning and evening, and hope is not far away in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Don’t bow your head, don’t admit defeat, dry your tears and stick to it. I will suffer the pain, and I know the way to go. " This passage was later set to music and sung by the singer Chen Lin.

"release the tiger to the mountain"

At that time, some people described this transnational merger as "snake swallowing elephant", but Li Shufu disagreed: "A snake is a snake, and an elephant is an elephant. A snake can never swallow an elephant." He doesn’t want to describe the relationship between Geely and Volvo with father and son, but chooses appropriate "alienation". Geely is Geely and Volvo is Volvo.

In a speech after purchasing Volvo, he said: "Under the new ownership framework, we need scientific management, and the best way is to put Volvo ‘ Release the tiger to the mountain ’ 。” Anders gustafson, then general manager of Volvo Car Sweden, was deeply impressed by this sentence, which was not only vivid, but more importantly, "this kind of words can’t be said by western entrepreneurs". He felt that Li Shufu talked more about philosophy than business. "He is a businessman with internal driving force, not limited to making money."

Although at that time, Li Shufu and Volvo’s management had differences in product positioning and other fields, Li Shufu still followed his promise. "I just want the general direction to be right." He said more than once, "They (Volvo’s management team) know more than me. If they don’t know how to pretend to know, it’s dangerous." In an interview with the outside world, he also mentioned many times, "Volvo is a big tree. We don’t want to move it. We just water it and loosen the soil."

Li Shufu’s humility and equality in dealing with Volvo, the acquired brand, and the good development of the latter completely dispelled Volvo’s "defense" and wait-and-see attitude towards Geely, and the cooperation between the two sides also entered the deep water area. Shortly after Geely’s acquisition of Volvo, Geely established the European R&D Center (CEVT) in Gothenburg, where Volvo’s Swedish headquarters is located, to jointly develop the CMA modular platform architecture for Geely’s upcoming brand Link and Volvo.

Li Shufu’s thinking is very simple. Cars are an industry that wins by scale. Volvo has many very advanced technologies that Geely can use, and Geely can bring advantages to Volvo in terms of cost control and localized procurement. In addition, the two can also cooperate in production capacity, such as Volvo’s European factory, and the next step will be to produce new cars for Geely Link to help Geely enter the European market.

Li Shufu has a strong sense of crisis and cooperation. At the same time, he has childlike interests and fantasies. He seems to be interested in every forward-looking automobile technology, such as autonomous driving and flying cars. Earlier, Geely announced the formal acquisition of the American flying car company. Li Shufu stated that he wanted to make "the dream of cars flying in the sky come true". At that time, some people laughed at him, but now Geely announced that its flying cars will be listed in 2019. He said that he wanted to build a car that was not available in the world. "You sit here, the car will come automatically; When you say go home, the car will automatically take you back … …”

He has predicted many times on different occasions that there may be only two or three traditional car companies left in the future. Geely wants to be not only a survivor, but also a great company. Whether it is the acquisition of Volvo, or Proton and its shareholding in Volvo Group and Daimler, the starting point is win-win cooperation. "In fact, we are under great pressure now, which is even greater than before. The automobile industry is undergoing changes, and what changes this change will bring to the automobile industry is still unknown. " He said. Therefore, Geely hopes to accelerate its pace in the field of new technologies and business models through the mode of "integrating Lian Heng".

"It is impossible to have a great car company in such a huge market as China." Lin Jie, vice president of Geely Group and general manager of the sales company, said that this has always been the view of the chairman (Li Shufu). His dream is that Geely will become such a great car company, not only hoping to enter the same camp with Volkswagen and Toyota in sales volume, but also becoming a "respected enterprise".

After 20 years in the business, with the tempering and tempering on the road of chasing dreams, Li Shufu has continuously gathered his edge and become more and more low-key. After purchasing Volvo, Swedish culture changed him. In an interview with CCTV, he said: "No matter how rich they are, they travel in economy class, and I don’t fly in business class now."

Wu Xiaobo once described Li Shufu like this: "His low-key, humble, and even a little polite and shy once gave me the illusion that I had met a ‘ Fake Li Shufu ’ . At the beginning, in the eyes of the media, it was a bit arrogant, paranoid, and even ‘ Acting talent ’ The car madman has disappeared; Standing in front of you is an automobile expert who talks about automobile manufacturing and can talk about Kan Kan from safety technology, green energy saving to car networking and intelligence. "

On the way from grassroots to international entrepreneurs, Li Shufu slowly cultivated. The era of "car madman" has passed. At present, he is keeping a low profile on the road of "dreaming".

Eight typical cases involving "pornography" and "non-pornography" were reported: the live broadcast platform tricked hundreds of female anchors to perform obscene performances.

CCTV News:Today (April 14th), the National Office of "Combating Pornography and Illegal Publications" reported six key criminal cases and two online administrative cases, involving illegal activities such as live webcasting of obscene performances, launching obscene websites and apps, and deleting posts for profit by the online water army.

The six criminal cases reported this time are:

1. Tianjin "4 26" cross-border webcast platform organized obscene performances.

2. Jiangsu Suqian "1 06" Wang Motao and others spread obscene articles for profit.

3. Jiangsu Nantong Lin Moumou and others used the "Magic Cat" APP to spread obscene articles.

4. Zhang Moumou and others in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province spread obscene articles for profit.

5. Yunnan Huize Wang Moumou spread obscene articles for profit.

6. Anhui Anqing "network water army" series deleted posts for profit.

The two cases of administrative punishment are:

1. A network technology company in Shanghai engages in publishing online games without authorization.

2. The case of "Peach Live" spreading vulgar content in Jinan, Shandong Province.

Among them, Tianjin "4 26" organized an obscene performance case, criminal gangs built a cross-border live broadcast platform, and recruited more than 500 female anchors to perform obscene performances online. At present, 23 criminal gang backbones have been transferred for review and prosecution. In the case of "1 06" spreading obscene articles for profit in Suqian, Jiangsu Province, 14 criminal gangs have recently been sentenced to penalties, ranging from one year and seven months to ten years and six months. In the case of "Peach Live Broadcasting" spreading vulgar content in Jinan, Shandong Province, its actual operating unit was ordered to rectify, and the relevant anchor was banned according to law.

The relevant person in charge of the national office of "eliminating pornography and illegal publications" said that it will continue to maintain a high-pressure crackdown on Internet pornography and illegal publications, and severely investigate and deal with Internet enterprises and individuals that have serious problems in producing and disseminating obscene pornographic information in the "new wind" concentrated action, and crack down on criminals in the whole chain, and will increase the exposure of typical cases.

Xiaomi executives responded that the order to sell a SU7 with a loss of 6,800 yuan was hot, and the estimate was biased.

Xiaomi Group’s SU7 delivery forecast attracted attention, and Xiaomi executives responded that selling a SU7 lost 6,800 yuan.

Xiaomi executives responded that selling a SU7 lost 6,800 yuan.

Recently, it was reported that Citibank expects that the delivery volume of SU7 models of Xiaomi Group will reach 5,000 to 6,000 units in April, and the annual delivery volume is expected to be about 55,000 to 70,000 units. The agency further pointed out that according to its estimation, for every SU7 sold by Xiaomi in 2024, the average loss will reach 6,800 yuan, which means that the annual loss of the entire car-making business will reach 4.1 billion yuan. Xiaomi executives responded that selling a SU7 lost 6,800 yuan.

In response to the above forecast, Xu Jieyun, Special Assistant to the Chairman of Xiaomi Group and Deputy General Manager of China Marketing Department, made a response at the Weibo. He said that there may be a big deviation in the relevant information, which stems from the report released by Citi Auto Analysts on April 2, and may not fully foresee the strong sales momentum of Xiaomi SU7. Xu Jieyun pointed out that in recent weeks, the number of orders of SU7 has continued to grow, and Xiaomi is making every effort to improve its delivery capacity to meet market demand.

What do you mean by partner? What is a partner?

Partner, a new social relationship, is shallower than friends and more important than colleagues, focusing on precise companionship in a vertical subdivision field.

Including but not limited to:

Rice partner: A rice partner with the same taste is someone who can eat together;

Conversation partner: if you lose contact after work, you are the person who chats with you;

Travel partner: people who travel together;

Movie partner: someone who goes to the movies with you;

Coffee and milk tea;

Take a nap;

Toilet set;

Actually, "partner" is not a dialect in a certain place, but a network language on the internet. "partner" should be a network language derived from the word "partner", which refers to people who partner with you in a certain field.

Tencent Music, whose profit increased by 36% year-on-year last year, is also worried, and the number of monthly users of its main business has decreased for several consecutive quarters.

The business map of Tencent Music has been adjusted.

On March 19th, Tencent Music released the unaudited financial performance report for the fourth quarter and the whole year as of December 31st, 2023.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, the total revenue of Tencent Music was RMB 6.89 billion, down 7.2% year-on-year; The net profit was 1.41 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 16.9%.

In 2023, the total revenue of Tencent Music was 27.75 billion yuan, down 2.1% year-on-year; The net profit was 5.22 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 36%.

After the financial report was released, before the US stock market closed on March 19th, the share price of Tencent Music rose by 0.48%, corresponding to a market value of $17.813 billion.

In terms of business, Tencent Music is still in the process of adjusting its business structure and continues to focus on online music services. In Q4 of 2023, Tencent Music’s online music service revenue reached 5.02 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 41.1%; The income from social entertainment services and other services dropped by 51.6% year-on-year to 1.87 billion yuan. Correspondingly, in Q4 of 2023, the operating cost of Tencent Music decreased by 14.6% year-on-year to 4.25 billion yuan due to the decrease in revenue sharing cost corresponding to the decrease in social entertainment service revenue.

In the whole year of 2023, thanks to the accelerated growth of online music subscription revenue and advertising service revenue, as well as the growth of sales revenue around artists, Tencent Music’s online music service revenue was 17.33 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 38.8%; As the company adjusted some live interactive functions and implemented stricter compliance procedures, the revenue from social entertainment services and other services was 10.43 billion yuan, down 34.2% year-on-year.

With the concentration of live broadcast traffic to the short video platform in the head, Tencent Music is also changing its strategy. Nowadays, online music service has become Tencent’s music business accounting for over 70%, and this proportion is increasing — — From 37.1% in Q1 in 2023 to 72.9% in Q4, and achieved good profits. Earlier, Tencent Music’s social entertainment service accounted for 70% of the company’s total revenue.

In this process, Tencent Music has tapped the paying potential of users, and both the number of paying users and the average monthly income of users of its online music service have increased. The former increased by 20.6% to 107 million in Q4, while the latter increased by 20.2% to 10.7 yuan.

In addition, Zhu Liang, CEO of Tencent Music, said at the performance meeting that Tencent Music pays more attention to the overall activity and liquidity of long audio content and the promotion of long audio content in the car market. In 2023, the long audio service achieved more than the expected results in the transformation of Tencent Music. Next, Tencent Music will continue to promote the distribution and commercial efficiency of long audio content on the entire music platform.

Cussion Pang, executive chairman of Tencent Music, said in the financial report, "2023 is a crucial year for the transformation of Tencent Music." "The strong performance of online music services not only eased the pressure on social entertainment services, but also promoted the steady increase of quarterly net profit."

However, Tencent Music, which has successfully transformed, is not without worries. On the one hand, the number of monthly active users of online music service, which has been regarded as the main business, has decreased for several consecutive quarters. In Q4 of 2023, the number of monthly active users of this service was 576 million, a year-on-year decrease of 4.2% and a quarter-on-quarter decrease of 3.03%. The number of monthly mobile users of social entertainment services also decreased by 28.8% year-on-year to 104 million.

On the other hand, although the net profit performance is good, but reducing costs and increasing efficiency has not changed its overall income decline. In 2023, the total revenue of Tencent Music decreased by 2.1% year-on-year.

Regarding the loss of Q4 users, Liang Zhu said that there are quarterly reasons, and the mobile terminal itself continues to be affected by short videos, and the traffic has the pressure of natural loss; In 2023, the promotion and marketing expenses of Tencent Music were also reduced, and the distribution channels were also reduced.

In addition, in 2023, the average monthly income of users of Tencent Music’s online music service increased, which also caused negative user feedback. The topic of "QQ music members’ price increase" was once on the hot search in Weibo. In addition, Tencent Music’s MOO Music, which focuses on young users and targets Netease Cloud Music, was shut down on December 31, 2023.

Netease Cloud Music, the main competitor of Tencent Music, released its financial report on March 1st. The latter also embarked on the road of reducing costs and increasing efficiency and adjusting its business structure, and also experienced a decline in income and an increase in profits — — In Q4 of 2023, the net income of Cloud Music was 1.986 billion yuan, down 16.4% year-on-year; Gross profit was 601 million yuan, up 42.32% year-on-year.

According to the financial report of Tencent Music, as of December 31, 2023, the total balance of cash, cash equivalents and time deposits of Tencent Music was 32.22 billion yuan. In addition, according to the $500 million share repurchase plan announced on March 21, 2023, as of December 31, 2023, Tencent Music has repurchased about 25.3 million shares of american depository receipts from the open market for $174.5 million in cash.

Debuted at Expo Auto Show in Bolivia, GAC International accelerated the development of American market.

Recently, Guangzhou Automobile International’s overseas market has been constantly dynamic. At the beginning of March, it brought an all-star model to the Expo Auto Show in Bolivia in 2024. The layout of many channels has achieved positive results, and the American market has fully played the development of "Endeavour".

Debuted at the auto show, the new store opened to help sales.

Expo Auto is one of the most influential auto shows in Bolivia, and it is also an important stage for China brand to appear in overseas auto shows. From March 6th to 10th, Guangzhou Automobile International brought many star models such as Yingku, Yingsu and GS8 to the Expo Auto Show in Bolivia in 2024.

2024 Expo Auto show site

At the exhibition site, GAC International attracted extensive attention from international guests, media and consumers with its unique booth design and rich and diverse product lineup. They gathered at the Guangzhou Automobile International booth to listen to the detailed introduction of major models. After observing the experience at close range, they expressed their love for the interior, appearance and intelligent technology of major models.

On-site visit and experience of GAC booth

The illegal handling of renting a car and buying a car on the license … These six new measures for public security traffic control will be implemented on September 20.

  CCTV News:Nowadays, people go out to play, and more and more people choose to rent cars for self-help tours, and new situations have emerged. After the traffic violation occurred in the process of renting a car, it is more troublesome to deal with it because the rented driver has left the incident. The Ministry of Public Security will launch six new traffic control measures from tomorrow (September 20th), which will effectively solve this problem.

  According to statistics, there are more than 20,000 car rental enterprises in China at present, and it is often difficult to deal with traffic violations according to the current procedures because most of the leased drivers are not in the illegal places or the places where motor vehicles are registered.

  Chen Dong, Deputy Director of Legal Affairs Department of Traffic Management Bureau of Ministry of Public Security:According to the original handling method, it is necessary to rent a driver to the illegal handling window of the traffic management department where the traffic violation occurred or where the motor vehicle was registered, and in the process of handling, it is necessary to show the driving license of the rented car.

  In order to facilitate leased drivers and leasing companies to deal with traffic violations of leased cars in time and reduce unnecessary travel and time costs, the Ministry of Public Security has specially formulated the Measures for Punishment of Road Traffic Safety Violations during Motor Vehicle Leasing. The traffic of the rented car recorded by traffic technology monitoring is illegal, and the lessee is allowed to handle it by the "12123" mobile APP; Leased drivers are no longer required to provide the rental car driving license when dealing with the illegal behavior or the window of the traffic control department where the motor vehicle is registered. Instead, the public security traffic control information system will automatically check the lease relationship. This measure will benefit more than 3 million leased drivers every year.

  Chen Dong, Deputy Director of Legal Affairs Department of Traffic Management Bureau of Ministry of Public Security:According to the lease contract information provided by the leasing company, there will be the driver’s license number of the leased driver, and we will automatically match the lease relationship between the leased driver and the leased car according to the driver’s license number, and automatically record this lease relationship to the platform of the "12123" mobile APP, as well as to the traffic violation handling window. In this case, we can check this lease relationship through the system, and we don’t need to rent the driver to add other jobs in the mobile APP or in the traffic processing window.

  In view of the traffic violations that the leased driver fails to deal with in time, the public security traffic control department can transfer the illegal records to the leased driver’s name upon the application of the leasing enterprise, and inform the leased driver in time through the contact information confirmed in the lease contract.

  It is understood that this new measure will be piloted in Jiangsu and Sichuan from tomorrow and will be promoted nationwide before the end of the year.

  Buy a car and get a license. Inspection and audit preposition

  Starting from tomorrow (September 20th), the fast agency of vehicle registration and sales enterprises and a number of measures to facilitate the handling of temporary entry vehicles and personnel licenses will also be implemented.

  Carry out fast agency registration of motor vehicle sales enterprises

  For car owners, after buying a car, they should bring relevant materials to the vehicle management department to get the number, queue up, go through the formalities and get the license plate. After the whole process goes down, most of the time will be gone. The Ministry of Public Security will implement the fast registration of motor vehicle sales enterprises, and complete this series of "running errands" before the owner buys a car. After the motor vehicle arrives at the sales enterprise, the vehicle pre-inspection, data pre-audit and information pre-entry will be implemented, and the motor vehicle sales enterprise will provide the whole process services such as vehicle purchase, insurance purchase, tax payment and number selection registration, so that the masses can complete all the links of car purchase registration in the motor vehicle sales enterprise.

  Liu Yupeng, Deputy Inspector of the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security:In fact, the vehicle management office has completed the basic information and inquiry work on this car. After the masses arrive at the 4S shop and buy the car, they only need to enter their personal information, so all the processes of selecting the number and handling the cards have been completed. After this number selection, he can drive home with a temporary number plate, and then mail the official number plate to his home.

  Starting from tomorrow, this measure will be first implemented in large and medium-sized cities such as municipalities directly under the central government, provincial capitals, autonomous region capitals and cities with separate plans, and will be fully implemented throughout the country before the end of the year, which will benefit more than 15 million car owners every year and save at least 200 million yuan in transportation costs every year.

  Temporary entry vehicle license is convenient to handle.

  In order to further facilitate the entry and driving of overseas personnel, the Ministry of Public Security has also introduced a number of measures to facilitate the travel of temporary entry vehicles. First of all, those who apply for temporary driving licenses for cars and motorcycles can apply directly with their entry-exit identity documents, overseas driving licenses and their Chinese translations, and there is no need to conduct physical examination and submit physical condition certificates.

  For those who stay in the country for a short time, they can apply for a temporary driving license valid for 3 months; If the stop or residence time exceeds 3 months, the validity period can be extended to 1 year.

  Wang Guoqiang, Deputy Researcher, Vehicle Management Department, Traffic Management Bureau, Ministry of Public Security:Originally, the validity period was no more than three months, but this time it was extended to no more than one year, which is consistent with the time limit for entry of entry personnel, and at the same time, it can be used for multiple entry within the validity period without repeated application.

  For less than 7 non-operating mini passenger cars and motorcycles registered overseas for less than 6 years, apply for temporary entry motor vehicle license plate, and be exempted from safety and technical inspection.

  Wang Guoqiang, Deputy Researcher, Vehicle Management Department, Traffic Management Bureau, Ministry of Public Security:In addition, we will also instruct local traffic control departments to set up traffic control service windows and service stations at airports and ports where immigrants are concentrated, as well as in our Pilot Free Trade Zone, so that immigrants can do it nearby and conveniently after entering the country.

  It is understood that these traffic control service stations will provide one-stop services such as compulsory insurance purchasing, vehicle confirmation, voucher verification, study and education, and license issuance.

  Promote the online transfer of passenger car transfer information

  Now it is more and more convenient to do things online, and the new measures implemented by the Ministry of Public Security from tomorrow also include a number of Internet-related services. Let’s have a look.

  Comprehensively promote the online transmission of passenger car transfer information.

  From tomorrow, the number of cities that transmit the information of passenger car transfer to the Internet will increase from the existing 120 to 300, and it will be fully implemented nationwide before the end of the year. In other words, if a non-operating passenger car is transferred to another place, it can apply directly to the place where the vehicle moves in, and it is no longer necessary to go to the vehicle management office of the place where it moves out to pick up the file and inspect the car, thus reducing the number of people going back and forth between the two places.

  Fully implement online perfect score education and verification education.

  It is understood that drivers who need to attend full-mark education and study when their driver’s license is scored 12 points in a scoring cycle, and drivers who need to attend verification education when their drivers are deducted during the scoring cycle, will all go to the site to study. This way will gradually become online education and study in the future.

  Liu Chunyu, Deputy Director of Publicity and Education Department of Traffic Management Bureau of Ministry of Public Security:Snapshots will also be taken from time to time during the learning process to ensure that drivers are always learning online. Drivers who study through the internet will try their best to pass the background supervision and spot check to ensure that they are drivers’ learning. In this process, if it is found that it is a substitute for learning or taking the test, the driver and the substitute for learning and taking the test will be blacklisted, and there will be some punitive measures to restrict him from receiving full marks and verification education through the Internet for three years.

  Full implementation of online navigation tips for traffic accident-prone points and sections

  In addition, the traffic control department will also promote cooperation with Internet map navigation application enterprises and strengthen the timely early warning and push of service information.

  Wang Bingbing, Deputy Director of Accident Countermeasures Department of Traffic Management Bureau of Ministry of Public Security:In the next step, we have to push the information of road occupation, traffic accidents and traffic control, including the information of previous accident-prone points, to the driver in time through navigation software.

Should dumplings be sweet or salty? Don’t argue, the answer is here!

[It is said that eating glutinous rice balls is the end of the year, and the sweet and salty parties of glutinous rice balls in the south and north are about to arrive at the "battlefield"! Do you like sweet or salty dumplings? 】
Today is the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month, and it is also the first holiday after the New Year. On this day, people enjoy lanterns and solve riddles on the lanterns, and at least eat Yuanxiao or Tangyuan.
Sweet or salty?
Seeing that everyone is immersed in the joy of the festival, it is peaceful, but the network is already boiling. The opening drama "Is the glutinous rice balls sweet or salty?" The sweet and salty party has begun to quarrel.
Salted dumplings and sweet dumplings
Generally speaking, Yuanxiao/Tangyuan in the north are mostly sweet fillings, including white sugar, bean paste, sesame and hawthorn, while those in the south are sweet, salty, meaty and vegetarian. So when it comes to salty Yuanxiao/Tangyuan, many people will think that it is unique to the south.
Sweet party:
Echowusmiles: What? Tangyuan and salty? Are you sure it’s not wrapped fish balls?Xixi: Is there a difference between sweet and salty dumplings? I have eaten for more than 20 years and have never heard of glutinous rice balls and salty ones.Mr__Pen9uin: Salted dumplings … I’d rather eat Lainiao Niuwan.Wang Ziyu _Prince: When I first ate it, I really felt like a dark cook.Dong Ge Fei Dong Ge: Northerners say they have never seen salty dumplings.

When cooking, put chicken, radish, sausage, salted vegetables, fish paste, onion and coriander, and sprinkle some pepper when eating.Wen sihou: Chongqing people, grandma likes to wrap salty dumplings with diced bacon and tofu, as well as salted vegetables and minced meat.
Salted dumplings baked by netizens from Weibo.
"Black Sesame" is the most popular taste.
When everyone is still struggling to eat sweet or salty, in fact, the taste of glutinous rice balls is beyond your imagination.
In the past, the taste of glutinous rice balls was relatively simple, mostly traditional flavors such as bean paste, peanuts, black sesame seeds, five kernels and fresh meat. With the constant change of people’s tastes, there are various tastes of glutinous rice balls in the market, such as red dates, durian, oranges, coconut milk, strawberries, mangoes, durian, blueberries and other fruit-flavored glutinous rice balls are popular in the market, and there are even new scented teas such as osmanthus, roses, lilies, chrysanthemums and jasmine flowers, which firmly grasp everyone’s psychology of early adopters.
According to big data from JD.COM, the sales amount of Yuanxiao/Tangyuan increased by more than 110% in the first half of the Lantern Festival this year. On February 26th, JD.COM Yuanxiao/Tangyuan Super Single Product Day, nearly 180 tons of Tangyuan were sold, 20 times as much as last year’s Lantern Festival.
In terms of regions, the top ten regions in terms of sales amount are Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Liaoning, Sichuan, Tianjin, Shandong, Zhejiang and Hebei.
There are so many choices of flavors, which flavor is the most popular? The data shows that the black sesame stuffing on the eve of the Lantern Festival can be called "popularity", and the sales volume is the first. Followed by mixed flavors, peanut stuffing, fresh meat stuffing and bean paste stuffing. Among them, bean paste stuffing is also a proper "potential stock". In terms of sales amount, the sales of black sesame and bean paste stuffing both increased by more than 140% month-on-month.
The preferences of people of different sexes and ages can also be seen in the choice of the taste of glutinous rice balls/Yuanxiao. In the choice of many flavors, women prefer mixed flavors, fruit stuffing and peanut stuffing, and male users choose fresh meat stuffing, bean paste stuffing and black sesame stuffing.
From the age point of view, mixed flavor, fruit stuffing and peanut stuffing are the relatively preferred stuffing flavors of post-80s, while post-90s prefer fruit stuffing, mixed flavor and fresh meat stuffing, while bean paste stuffing, black sesame stuffing and peanut stuffing are deeply favored by post-70s, and traditional flavors such as bean paste stuffing, fresh meat stuffing and black sesame stuffing are still the favorites of post-60s.
Although many consumers are used to eating finished dumplings online, this year’s data also shows that netizens’ enthusiasm for making dumplings is not low. Even users in Beishangguang, who have a fast pace of life, are still willing to sit down and make dumplings/Yuanxiao before the Lantern Festival.
Yuanxiao = Tangyuan?
Seeing this, many people will have questions. We always discuss Yuanxiao and Tangyuan together. Are Yuanxiao and Tangyuan the same?
In fact, the two are not the same. The main difference between them is in technology. Generally, dumplings are eaten in the south and Yuanxiao is eaten in the north. Yuanxiao is "rolled" and the dumplings are "wrapped".
The stuffing of Yuanxiao should be made into four squares with uniform size in advance, and then wrapped with flour and rolled back and forth on the laundry basket. "Dip in water for three times and roll for three times before forming." Making glutinous rice balls is just like wrapping jiaozi. Just add water to glutinous rice flour and make it into balls. After "waking up", pinch a small ball and squeeze it into a round shape. Then put the stuffing in and knead it to shape.
Generally speaking, Yuanxiao in the north is handmade, which is more chewy and sold in street stalls. Tangyuan can be mechanically operated. Because of its convenient storage and delicate and soft taste, it is spread all over shopping malls and supermarkets. Because of the fast pace of life of modern people, the tastes of Yuanxiao and Tangyuan are similar, and people gradually confuse them.
I don’t know when, the market of Yuanxiao has gradually become smaller, and dumplings have long been "unified", so that in the eyes of young people, Yuanxiao has always been dumplings.
However, whether you mean to eat Yuanxiao or Tangyuan today, I guess someone will definitely answer: Northerners eat jiaozi no matter what festivals they have!
So, northerners, do you want to eat jiaozi or glutinous rice balls/Yuanxiao today?
