□ Xu Jinglan (Chongqing University)

Recently, the Yang li Ping Dance Company and the Russian Royal Dance Company danced "Subject III", which once again pushed this dance to the forefront, and triggered a heated discussion among the public about the boundaries between dance art and culture. Many netizens have previously said that "Yang li Ping’s jumping subject three is my biggest bottom line". However, Yang li Ping’s team really jumped up "Subject 3" at the curtain call recently.

With its unique repetitive movements and magical music, the dance of "Kemusan" quickly became popular in the Haidilao incident, and its easy-to-understand characteristics undoubtedly attracted a large number of audiences. However, the popularity of this "vulgar" culture has also triggered in-depth discussions on artistic value and connotation. Many people question whether a professional art team like Yang li Ping should take part in such a "popular" performance, which is considered to be detrimental to the elegance and depth of art.

The debate between refined culture and popular culture is not a new topic, it reflects the society’s pluralistic cognition of art and culture. On the one hand, we can’t ignore the powerful influence and attraction of "vulgar" culture in mass communication. Popular cultural phenomena such as Phoenix Legend’s Divine Comedy in Square Dance, with its grounded language, cheerful melody and easy-to-imitate movements, have successfully crossed the boundaries of age, region and social class and won the love and pursuit of the general public. This feature of being close to the people and entertaining makes the "vulgar" culture spread and popularize rapidly and become an indispensable part of people’s daily life.

However, on the other hand, we should also be soberly aware that those enduring cultural treasures often contain profound connotations and far-reaching significance. These cultural forms may be classical literature, traditional art, philosophical thoughts or historical heritage. They have undergone the baptism of time and the precipitation of history, bearing the crystallization of human wisdom and the richness and diversity of the spiritual world. These cultural treasures are not only our cultural heritage, but also important resources for us to understand ourselves, explore the world, improve our literacy and enlighten our thinking.

The evaluation of art and culture should not only stay on the superficial distinction between elegance and vulgarity. Every cultural form has its own value and significance. Whether it is elegant art or popular entertainment, it may touch people’s emotions at some level, lead to thinking or bring fun. In recent years, with the rise of "fast-paced culture", people’s stay for works of art is shorter, and magical works of art occupy our eyes. However, this does not mean that the value of depth and connotation in art and culture has been weakened. On the contrary, the existence of fast-paced culture highlights people’s desire for instant satisfaction and relaxed entertainment, which is an important embodiment of the diversity of art and culture.

We need a more open and inclusive attitude in the face of the controversy over cultural elegance and vulgarity. The development of art and culture should be a process of multiple coexistence and mutual influence. Professional art teams try different performance forms, including the so-called "vulgar" culture, which may provide new inspiration and perspective for artistic innovation, and at the same time attract public attention to artistic works. At the same time, we should also encourage and support those cultural creations with profound meaning and connotation, so as to enrich our spiritual life and social and cultural landscape.

The phenomenon that "the world is a huge subject three" reminds us that no matter who jumps into "subject three", in this era of information explosion, we encourage artists and creators to explore and try different art forms and expressions bravely, and at the same time, we should create more and better works that people like. We should also face and evaluate art and culture with an open and inclusive attitude, so as to jointly promote the progress and development of human spiritual civilization.

Affordable Volvo XC90 is listed! Full-time four-wheel drive, 2.0T hybrid +8AT, tall and mighty only 220,000.

Recently, a medium-sized and large SUV was officially launched at the Beijing Auto Show. This new car is also a large SUV that I particularly liked in the past. It has excellent mechanical literacy and the price is really cheap now. This model is the Lectra 09. The global version of the four-wheel drive is listed this time.

The guide price of this Lexus 09 is 265,800 yuan, and the manufacturer directly gives the price of 235,800 yuan, and there is still a subsidy of about 10,000 yuan at the terminal. The price of bare cars that can basically be sold is 225,800 yuan.

The advantages of the new car are actually very many. The first is the power system, which is equipped with a 2.0T+48V light mixing system and matches the eight-speed automatic manual transmission. More importantly, this Lectra 09 matches the central differential, full-time four-wheel drive, and adopts the front double wishbone independent suspension and the rear multi-link independent suspension system like BMW. The handling properties and mechanical literacy are in place, which is also the main reason why I liked this new car at first. In addition, the new car also has six driving modes, such as off-road, snow, strong dynamic performance, plus hard-core four-wheel drive, which can be very anti-skid

Although the appearance design is tall and powerful, it also has some shortcomings, which is also the main reason why I gave up this new car. As far as the appearance is concerned, the domineering shape is full of masculinity, the all-black appearance shows domineering, the hidden electric door handle, the 19-inch petal-shaped wheel hub and the four exhaust pipes, so the face value can definitely be beaten. In the body data section, the length, width and height of this Lectra 09 are 5042/1977/1780mm and the wheelbase is 2984mm, which is a seven-seat SUV.

The internal design has also been greatly upgraded. In addition to the two screens we saw, the new car has actually upgraded the chip of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 on the new model, and compared with the previous model, it has more Lectra OS N design. The 5G network signal adopted by the new car has active noise reduction function and remote control of the mobile phone, and it is also equipped with L2-level intelligent assisted driving system as standard in the whole system. There are only two kinds of maps: Gaode and Baidu. Automatic parking in place, automatic lane change assistance is readily available. Bluetooth key, card key and panoramic sunroof can be opened, which are also standard in the whole system. In addition, even the seats are equipped with heating, ventilation, massage, memory and boss buttons, and the global version of our four-wheel drive is also available.

So what’s wrong with this Lexus 09? From all aspects, it is actually perfect, with good price, domineering appearance and high intelligence. Why don’t many consumers buy it? The main reason is that it is very similar to the shortcomings of Volvo’s SUV, for example, the space inside the car is very small, and the mute effect inside the car is also very general. In fact, it is understandable, because this Lectra 09 and Volvo XC90 are the same chassis, and their advantages and disadvantages are basically the same.

Huawei terminals attended the China Mobile Global Partner Conference, and all the new products in the whole scene were exhibited.

    From October 11th to 13th, 2023, the 2023 China Mobile Global Partner Conference and the 11th China Mobile Global Partner Conference were held in Guangzhou Poly World Trade Expo, China. During the exhibition, Huawei terminals brought a variety of products to participate in the exhibition, allowing participants to deeply experience the latest products of Huawei terminals.

    Recently, Huawei Terminal has released the new M7 and Mate60 series in three key areas, namely, new energy vehicles, mobile phones and full-scene smart life, which has boosted the rapid development of the industry.

    At this exhibition, Huawei Terminal brought flagship new products, sports health, government-enterprise solutions, smart home and new M7 in the world to the exhibition. The site is divided into five sections: 1+8 exhibition area, sports health, smart home, terminal government and enterprise, and the new M7 test drive. Huawei also won two awards from China Mobile, the Best Terminal Partner Award and the Most Popular Product Award.

    Mate60 series single ride

    According to the supply chain news, as of the end of September, the sales of Huawei Mate 60 Pro and Mate 60 have exceeded 1.1 million units. At present, the industry is optimistic about the future performance of Mate series.

    The impact of Huawei terminals on the industry lies not only in the market, but also in the continuous sales of Huawei Mate60 series, which has a greater impact on the domestic supply chain. Enterprises such as optics, panels and structural parts are accelerating production to meet the market demand of Huawei Mate60 series.

    Huawei Terminal and China Mobile have always maintained close cooperation, with a high degree of cooperation in the fields of mobile phones, wearables, routers and other products, consumers and businesses, as well as number card business and consumer stickiness. This time, Huawei’s terminal exhibition area also has a terminal government and enterprise area for the live audience to experience, and continue to empower the industry in the field of secure instant messaging with partners.

    Ask the new M7 to turn the tide.

    As the star SKU of Huawei’s smart car selection, Wenjie New M7 has recently ushered in an upgrade and change. After listing, it has become the top stream in the recent auto market with its excellent product strength. The data shows that since its release on September 12th, the cumulative quantity of the new M7 has exceeded 50,000 vehicles.

    Huawei’s smart car selection, especially the series of cars in the world, has experienced a low period, which is basically in line with the current situation of the domestic new energy vehicle market. Often, the technical upgrade of new models is obvious, and then they set sail in a high profile at the initial stage of listing. However, due to the rapid technical upgrade of the industry, as more brands of new products come out one after another, the result will be a rapid suppression of old models, which will lead to the weakness of the latter, and the impact will be to force major brands to continue to invest heavily to ensure the technological leadership of new cars.

    The upgrade of the product strength of the new M7 in the world and the "increasing the quantity without increasing the price" brought by the high cost performance are also the main reasons for detonating the market. At the conference site, Huawei Terminal also set up a new M7 test drive exhibition area for customers with test drive needs to test drive. It is reported that Huawei’s deeply empowered products, such as M9 and S7, will also be available.

   Full scene, new products landing, efficient ecological experience

    This time, Huawei Terminal also moved almost all the new products from the autumn full-scene conference to the exhibition site, so the audience can experience the new products of Huawei Terminal in the first time. Huawei terminals have always had a clear category positioning for each business line, and at the same time, they have also planned more carefully in ecological positioning, further consolidating the ecological moat.

    Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 inches has a stronger office atmosphere. The new PC-level WPS Office, combined with HarmonyOS intelligent interaction, brings a better PC-level office experience, and realizes the document synchronization between PC and mobile phone for the first time; Huawei WATCH ULTIMATE DESIGN Extraordinary Master Smart Watch is Huawei’s new interpretation of luxury industrial products. As Huawei’s first gold smart watch, this product has made another breakthrough in material technology, blending 18K precious gold for the first time; Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3 TWS headphones use the star flash technology, which improves the physical bandwidth by 4 times and the anti-interference ability by 2 times. Based on the new L2HC 3.0 protocol, it can realize lossless transmission of 1.5Mbps audio and bring lossless sound quality with super CD quality.

    Huawei’s terminal’s understanding of new products in the whole scene, while fully putting cutting-edge innovative technologies into product strength, brings a unique ecological wisdom interactive experience according to category positioning. Under the "1+8+N" system, the central position of the mobile phone is defined, and with the intelligent interaction of HarmonyOS, a number of core technologies are used as the starting point to expand and explore more functions. Huawei terminals have successfully built their own ecological moat.

Zhiji’s goal: let everyone have a dedicated driver.

"It’s so obedient that it will automatically open the door as soon as it hears me coming to it. When I wash the car, I have to put my mobile phone far away." On April 18th, at the Shanghai Auto Show, Tang Wei, the owner of Zhiji, shared that the car is smart, but I hope it won’t automatically open the door when washing the car. Tamia Liu, co-CEO of Zhiji Automobile, responded at the scene and iterated at the fastest speed.

Intelligentization brings a lot of convenience to the car. Taking the mobile phone as an example, it can replace the function of the car key, start the air conditioner remotely, unlock it, authorize friends to drive the car, etc. When the owner approaches the car with his mobile phone, there are interactions such as flashing lights, honking horns and opening the car door.

However, just like what happened in Tang Wei, while intelligence brings convenience, it will bring some new troubles due to thoughtlessness. The interaction between Tang Wei as the owner of Zhiji and the brand has also become a vivid scene of automobile intelligence ecology. Automobile intelligent manufacturers have designed many scenes to meet the wishes that can only be imagined but cannot be realized in the traditional automobile era. In the process of using, the owner found unreasonable points, and the comprehensive data was continuously fed and learned. After investigation, design, feedback and promotion, the upgrade iteration was quickly completed.

The intelligent problem raised by Tang Wei is the focus of the release of Zhiji at the Shanghai Auto Show. The AI4M intelligent strategy announced by Zhiji takes "AI" artificial intelligence as the core, so that cars can observe, think and act like "people", and the goal is to let everyone have a dedicated driver.

In order to achieve this goal, Zhiji said that it will rely on the scientific and technological accumulation of SAIC for many years and the core self-research of Zhiji Automobile since its establishment three years ago, and at the same time deepen the strategic cooperation with Alibaba Cloud, Zebra Zhixing, Momenta and other leading forces in the field of intelligent technology in China, actively lay out the whole chain closed-loop innovation of the brand-new intelligent electrical architecture, and launch the "China Intelligent Scheme".

Zhiji believes that the AI era has accelerated the landing speed of artificial intelligence in the real world. In the field of autonomous driving, perceptual intelligence and cognitive intelligence are two key issues that need to be solved urgently. In the past few years, perceptual intelligence has received full attention from the whole industry. While improving perceptual intelligence, Zhiji cooperated with Momenta, a global head intelligent driving algorithm player, to launch the industry’s first D.L.P artificial intelligence decision planning model.

Zhiji took the lead in using deep learning to plan, greatly improving the takeover rate and realizing the driving ability like an old human driver. According to the on-site introduction of Tamia Liu, the current takeover rate is about once per 100 kilometers, and it will increase tenfold every two years. In the future, the takeover mileage will increase to once per 1000 kilometers or even once per 10,000 kilometers.

Based on this strategy, the high-speed elevated NOA (Automatic Aided Navigation System) will be launched on Zhiji L7 at the end of April. The first batch of open cities will be "Shanghai, Jiangsu, Hangzhou, Jiaxing and Lake", and LS7 will be upgraded and promoted to the whole country within this year.

By then, NOA of Zhiji can carry out dynamic path planning for closed high-speed elevated roads, and complete lane keeping, automatic speed adjustment, active lane change overtaking, automatic up-and-down ramp and other behaviors within the design area.

Tamia Liu emphasized that after completing the game calculation of active lane change and gap insertion, the driving quality is actually a highlight of Zhiji. Zhiji NOA’s driving behavior deeply learns from professional drivers, not frequently accelerating and decelerating, but making reasonable and comfortable actions to complete the instructions.

Zhiji said that the intelligent strategy with AI as the core is not just a written plan. In the second half of 2023, an intelligent medium-sized city cross-border SUV will be launched to solve the pain points of users in urban travel with intelligent solutions. An intelligent sports coupe, which is expected to be launched in 2024, is equipped with the latest Qualcomm 8295 high computing power chip, takes the lead in adopting solid-state batteries and adopts a brand-new three-electric system including carbon fiber rotor technology. The car will enter the "2-second acceleration club" and fully reproduce the F1 driving experience. The two models launched in 2025 are based on a new vector magic architecture and a modular magnetic open platform, which reconstructs the vehicle space and allows users to enjoy a subversive intelligent experience.

99.06% equity of Jia Yueting LeTV has been frozen. How much money is left to pay off debts?

  Regarding the problem of arrears, LeTV responded that "LeTV will never owe money to any creditor, including financial institutions, including the supply chain. As long as LeTV is given time, it will definitely be fully repaid." However, in the situation of being chased for the arrears everywhere, for Jia Yueting, even though he may not agree with what Sun Hongbin called "what should be collected, what should be sold", the realistic pressure may force him to consider this way.

  Letv is facing four debts to be recovered. According to Jia Yueting, over the past six months, LeTV has paid back more than 15 billion yuan. However, LeTV’s money is obviously far from being repaid, which ultimately leads to the fact that most of the shares of LeTV, a listed company held by Jia Yueting, have been frozen.

  status

  More than 99% of the shares of LeTV held by Jia Yueting were frozen.

  According to the announcement issued by LeTV last night, at present, Jia Yueting holds 524,074,478 shares of LeTV directly or indirectly through LeTV Holdings, accounting for 26.27% of the company’s total share capital. Among them, 512,133,322 shares directly held by Jia Yueting have all been frozen; Of the 11,941,156 shares held through LeTV Holdings, 7,000,000 shares were frozen. So far, the accumulated frozen shares of LeTV in Jia Yueting have reached 519,133,322 shares, accounting for 99.06% of the company’s shares. Numerically, the 519,133,322 shares frozen in Jia Yueting are exactly the same as the number of shares frozen by the Shanghai High Court due to a loan dispute with China Merchants Bank the day before.

  Regarding the problem of arrears, LeTV responded that "LeTV will never owe money to any creditor, including financial institutions, including the supply chain. As long as LeTV is given time, it will definitely be fully repaid." However, for LeTV, how many assets can be used to repay the account?

  At its most brilliant time, LeTV once had three listed companies, a LeTV network listed on the A-share Growth Enterprise Market, a Cool Group of Hong Kong stocks, and a new three-board company online wine network. This is not counting the new three-board companies such as Ruixin Media, Yongsheng Animation and Yongle Culture. However, two of the three listed companies have suspended trading for several months, and the online wine network has taken the initiative to withdraw from the market in the first half of this year.

  press sb for an interview

  Letv has been suspended for nearly three months.

  Under the pressure of LeTV’s capital chain crisis, the A-share company LeTV has been declining since the end of last year, during which it was suspended. It was rumored that the share price was close to the liquidation line of Jia Yueting’s equity pledge, but it was denied by LeTV. What is particularly embarrassing is that after Sun Hongbin received more than 10 billion emergency funds, it still failed to boost LeTV’s share price. Until April 15 this year, LeTV announced the suspension of trading on the grounds of planning major events, and it has been nearly three months.

  Until last week’s shareholders’ meeting, LeTV has not given a specific resumption time. However, it is obviously impossible for LeTV to suspend its trading for an indefinite period. According to the new suspension regulations issued by Shenzhen Stock Exchange in May last year, for listed companies planning major asset restructuring, the suspension time is up to six months. But in fact, in the three months since the suspension of trading, the negative news of LeTV has not gradually subsided but has become more and more prominent, which makes it difficult to imagine the stock price trend after its hasty resumption of trading.

  pay close attention

  Coolpad will be removed from the Hong Kong Stock Connect Index next week.

  The acquisition of Coolpad, a well-known domestic mobile phone brand listed in Hong Kong, was also an influential merger and acquisition of LeTV. In June last year, LeTV acquired a total of 28.9% of the shares of Coolpad Group twice and became the largest shareholder of the latter. According to the idea of LeTV at that time, by integrating the existing super mobile phone business of Coolpad and LeTV, "2016 ‘ Letv+Coolpad ’ The total sales volume of smartphones can reach 50 million to 60 million units, and the sales volume is expected to exceed 100 million units in 2017, making it one of the largest mobile phone companies with sales volume. " However, less than half a year later, in November last year, Coolpad Group issued a profit warning on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, saying that it is expected that the company will lose HK$ 3 billion in 2016. Up to now, Coolpad Group has been unable to publish the 2016 annual report "because the audit problem has still not been solved". According to the regulations, the end of March this year is already the deadline for its disclosure of last year’s annual report. Correspondingly, Coolpad shares have been suspended since March 30 this year. Before the suspension, the share price was 0.72 Hong Kong dollars/share, which was more than half of the loss of 1.5 Hong Kong dollars/share when LeTV acquired it.

  According to the latest index change notice issued by Hong Kong Hang Seng Index Company this week, Coolpad Group (02369) will be excluded from the Hang Seng Global Composite Index and also be excluded from the Hang Seng Hong Kong Stock Connect Index. This change will take effect from next Tuesday.

  Net Wine Network used to be the second LeTV company to independently land in the capital market after LeTV. On August 24th, 2016, the online wine network was listed and traded on the New Third Board. The controlling shareholder of the company is LeTV Holdings, and Jia Yueting indirectly holds 50.35% of the shares of the company through LeTV Holdings. The online wine network is also an organic part of the LeTV ecosystem.

  However, in less than eight months, on April 24 this year, the online wine network announced the termination of listing on the New Third Board. The scene that appeared before its delisting from the New Third Board was also the failure to disclose the 2016 annual report on time. In addition, 70% of the shares indirectly held by Jia Yueting in the online wine network have been pledged.

  focus

  Letv has experienced negative growth this year.

  LeTV’s super tv business has always been a relatively good asset of LeTV, which was also recognized by Sun Hongbin, a real estate player who rescued LeTV for more than 10 billion yuan at the beginning of the year. But the unavoidable fact is that as of the end of last year, LeTV has not been able to achieve profitability. At the beginning of this year, Liang Jun, the head of LeTV TV, issued a military order to make a profit this year, but there are indeed too many variables in LeTV this year. In the case that other professional color TV manufacturers are in a tight situation this year, LeTV TV obviously needs to accept greater challenges if it wants to turn a profit in this difficult period. Moreover, Liang Jun admitted at the shareholders’ meeting of LeTV last week that LeTV had experienced negative growth since the first half of this year.

  Another bad news for LeTV is that Foxconn, which had worked closely with LeTV before, has now almost broken up with it. For LeTV, which does not have its own manufacturing business, OEM companies like Foxconn were once important partners in its hardware development. LeTV’s super tv used to leverage Foxconn’s cheap manufacturing to be influential in the color TV market. In addition to the business connection in OEM, LeTV and Foxconn once had a close capital bond. In 2013, LeTV.com disclosed the resolution of the board of directors. Shenzhen Guanding Construction Engineering Co., Ltd., an affiliated company of Foxconn, achieved a 20% share by increasing its capital to LeEco Zhixin Company, which is mainly engaged in LeTV TV.

  However, with the financial shortage of LeTV, Foxconn has quietly broken up with LeTV. According to media reports, since 2016, Shenzhen Guanding has been out of LeTV’s new shareholder list. According to the data of Aoweiyun.com, a data company in the domestic household appliance industry, in the first four months of this year, the number of LeTV TVs shipped by Foxconn was only 6,600, 3,200, 7,200 and 4,500 respectively. This means that the vast majority of LeTV TVs are not from Foxconn, and the cooperation between them has almost broken up.

  analyse

  The unlisted part is afraid of "selling the sale"

  According to the analysis of people close to LeTV, after Sun Hongbin invested real money in LeTV, the supervision of LeTV’s funds has been significantly strengthened. At present, the pattern formed is that Sun Hongbin keeps an eye on the operation of some listed companies of LeTV; For the unlisted part of LeTV business, Jia Yueting is in charge, the largest part of which is LeTV. Although the listed company and the unlisted part are still connected in many businesses, it is impossible to transfer funds, which is why Jia Yueting admitted at the shareholders’ meeting last week that the financial pressure of the unlisted part of LeTV is greater than expected.

  For Jia Yueting, he now needs to take care of various businesses such as LeTV Sports and LeTV Mobile Phone with extremely limited funds. Even though he may not agree with what Sun Hongbin called "what should be collected, what should be sold", the realistic pressure may force him to consider this way. Easy access was once an important part of Jia Yueting’s ideal LeTV car ecology. When it was first acquired, Jia Yueting was ambitious. "Through completely independent research and development, we will build the best Internet smart electric car and establish the car Internet ecosystem, so that China’s automobile industry will subvert the traditional giants in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, effectively solve urban smog and traffic congestion, and let everyone drive super cars and breathe pure air." But today, it is a foregone conclusion that LeTV is easy to sell.

  prospect

  Letv will sell the mobile phone sector in the future?

  In addition, some media expect that LeTV will sell the mobile phone sector next, so what really triggered the crisis of LeTV’s capital chain at the end of last year was the arrears of suppliers in the mobile phone business. Almost all of Jia Yueting’s shares in LeTV were frozen this time because of the property preservation caused by his personal joint guarantee for the financing of LeTV’s mobile phone business.

  It is worth noting that Jia Yueting said at the shareholders’ meeting last week that in the future, LeTV will focus on two major industries, namely, listed companies and automobile business. He also specifically mentioned that businesses that are not included in the "focus" category, such as LeTV’s mobile phone, LeTV Sports and Easy Access, "I hope that in the next two or three months, everyone will gradually see LeTV’s determination this time, and its limited assets will gain the greatest value". As soon as the voice just fell, it was announced that the controlling shareholder was no longer LeTV, which naturally increased people’s association with the future LeTV mobile phone business. However, in response to the Beijing Youth Daily reporter yesterday, LeTV Mobile said, "All the business of LeTV Mobile is normal at present, and the release of new machines is also planned."

What is the situation from innovation to subsidizing community group buying?

  The sudden entry of "giants" broke the development rhythm of the whole community group buying track, and the rules of the game changed accordingly. The industry has changed from "innovation" and "implementation" to "capital" and "subsidy". It is not surprising that the life of the same journey has walked out of an inverted "V" trajectory from rise to fall.

  The "giants" are still involved in the track of community group buying, but the startup companies that started first were "conveniently" crushed. On the morning of July 7, Tongcheng Life (now renamed Honey Orange Life), a community group buying platform, officially declared bankruptcy. According to the reporter, its founder, chairman and CEO He Pengyu was still talking with suppliers that night. During more than four hours of talks, he shed tears several times and promised to try his best to pay off his debts, but there was nothing he could do.

  Tongcheng Life is not the first enterprise to declare bankruptcy in the community group buying circuit, but its bankruptcy was called "the first case of bankruptcy in community group buying" by the media because of its high popularity, which caused a shock in the industry.

  Why is the same life "sudden death"? What is the situation of community group buying now? The reporter interviewed some people familiar with the matter.

  From innovation to subsidies.

  The usual reason for a company’s bankruptcy is poor management, but living together — — This company, which was established in January 2018 and belongs to Suzhou Fresh Orange Technology Co., Ltd., is obviously not included here. From He Pengyu’s internal letters to employees and suppliers, we can clearly see the inverted "V" trajectory of Tongcheng life from its rise to its rapid "fall". According to He Pengyu’s open letter, it only took about a year and a half. "Tongcheng Life has achieved a front-end performance and entered a benign development stage."

  At that time, Tongcheng Life was still the star of the community group buying track, which was recognized by many investment institutions. According to reports, in 2019, Tongcheng Life received four consecutive rounds of financing, ranging from tens of millions of yuan to 100 million US dollars. In June 2020, Tongcheng Life announced that it had completed the $200 million Series C financing. According to public reports, it was valued at about $1 billion before bankruptcy, and it can be regarded as a small and beautiful startup company.

  In recent two years, the community group buying model developed from fresh e-commerce has rapidly developed into a new format of e-commerce industry, which provides a new way to promote agriculture and enrich farmers and attract flexible employment in cities and towns, and also attracts a large number of entrepreneurial teams. Ten Hui Tuan, Xingsheng Youxuan and Tongcheng Life are the three fastest teams, which were once called "the third group" by the outside world.

  However, the booming community group buying market has also attracted "giants" to enter the market. Since September, 2020, Ali, Meituan, Didi, Pinduoduo and others have offered "big killers" of price wars, and "buying food for one cent" has become popular, even the vendors in the vegetable market have felt the pressure.

  The sudden entry of "giants" broke the development rhythm of the whole community group buying track, and the rules of the game changed accordingly. The industry has changed from "innovation" and "implementation" to "capital" and "subsidy".

  According to the reporter’s understanding, in the face of the sudden crisis of survival, Tongcheng Life has also struggled, and at the same time, it has also sought capital mergers and acquisitions. It has discussed the acquisition intentions with JD.COM, Ali, ByteDance, Meituan, etc., and even a team has settled in due diligence, but in the end it failed due to changes in the wind direction of the industry.

  Li Ming (pseudonym), a former executive of Tongcheng Life, told the reporter, "At the end of June, Tongcheng Life also hoped to get better business data by increasing marketing efforts, and then obtain a ‘ Giant ’ The olive branch of the merger, but unfortunately it was rejected again. Later, due to the expiration of brand authorization, executives decided to start renaming and strategic transformation to make a comeback. Regrettably, at this time, suppliers began to concentrate on collecting money, which eventually led to the break of the capital chain. "

  At present, community group buying is still in the stage of rapid expansion and growth. Meituan (Meituan Optimization), Pinduoduo, Didi (Orange Heart Optimization) have occupied the head position, and Xingsheng Optimization and Ten Clubs have also been incorporated by JD.COM and Ali. After Tongcheng Life left, community group buying has become a game for "giants".

  After the shopping, it was a huge loss in the industry.

  The industry is not surprised by the fall of Tongcheng life. After the community group-buying track entered the era of "giants", it became the norm to fight for prices and head rebates, and no one could achieve positive benefits in the short term, while the service innovation and experience innovation at the customer end came to a standstill, and the internal consumption of the whole industry was serious.

  It is understood that the current profit rate of the community group buying industry has rapidly declined from profit to loss. Li Ming revealed that before the "giant" entered the market (before September 2020), the monthly sales of a platform with a volume like Tongcheng Life ranged from 800 million yuan to 1.2 billion yuan, and the gross profit was around 20%. After the "giants" entered, with the huge subsidies to consumers and the competition for "heads", the monthly revenue of the platform dropped by more than 80%, and the gross profit directly turned negative, and the whole community group buying market further slipped into the mire of losses in the whole industry.

  The regulatory authorities have repeatedly taken measures to curb this crazy involution under the disorderly expansion of capital. In December 2020, the General Administration of Market Supervision and the Ministry of Commerce organized an administrative guidance meeting to regulate the order of community group buying, with the participation of six Internet platform enterprises, including Alibaba, Tencent, JD.COM, Meituan, Pinduoduo and Didi. At the meeting, the "nine no’s" of community group buying were put forward. In March this year, the operators behind five community group buying platforms, including Meituan Youxuan (Shenzhen Meituan Youxuan Technology Co., Ltd.), were fined 1.5 million yuan for alleged unfair price behavior.

  But this still failed to curb the expansion of the "giants". On the one hand, they continue to steal similar "1 cent" activities, on the other hand, they seize the terminal market by greatly increasing the commission rewards and subsidies of "heads". Li Ming said that at present, the rewards and subsidies given by several giants to the "heads" of community group buying terminals have reached the highest level of 15% to 18%, basically subsidizing the platform’s own income. This is irrational competition and is suspected of disguised price war.

  On July 8, the reporter inquired about some community group buying platforms, which not only had the activity of "sending 15 eggs in 5 days", but also had 1.25 yuan a catty of sand sweet potatoes and 0.99 yuan a red heart pitaya. On the community fresh-keeping platform, the single pitaya with red heart is from 4 yuan to 5 yuan, and the sweet potato in sandy land costs 5 yuan a catty, which is much higher than the community group buying platform.

  Behind the shopping price and subsidies is the huge loss of the whole industry. According to public reports, in the first quarter of this year, the adjusted net loss of Meituan reached 3.892 billion yuan, and the investment of Meituan in community group buying business was about 10 billion yuan, which is expected to reach 20 billion yuan this year. In the first quarter, Pinduoduo’s gross profit dropped to 49.74%, and Pinduoduo invested about 6 billion yuan in buying more vegetables, and will increase investment in 2021.

  Suppliers are affected by the mess.

  From the booming performance to being forced to declare bankruptcy and exit, the collapse of Tongcheng Life is not only regrettable, but also left a chicken feather.

  In the early morning of July 8, He Peng Yu issued an open letter through his personal circle of friends, proposing three solutions to the bankruptcy of Tongcheng Life: to protect the rights and interests of all creditors to the maximum extent within the scope of law; Make every effort to preserve the existing assets, hand them over to the court for proper sealing and disposal, actively cooperate with the government’s guidance, and pay off the debts with the company’s assets; If the assets are not enough to pay off the debts, He Pengyu promises to start a business again. "I will record every debt clearly and try my best to repay the debts."

  It is also known that on July 8, Tongcheng Life issued a repayment plan for the supplier before starting the bankruptcy liquidation procedure. It had already paid the salary for employees in June and promised to pay social security for employees in the future.

  Although the entrepreneurial team of Tongcheng Life tried its best to make up for it, there were still many vegetable farmers, small vendors and even large and medium-sized suppliers who failed to get the payment on time.

  Since 2019, an animal husbandry company has cooperated with Tongcheng Life to supply eggs, and it has been owed nearly 800,000 yuan. After the crisis of Tongcheng life broke out, Mr. Wang, the person in charge of the company, came to ask for arrears. "There are hundreds of egg farmers behind me, so I have to go to the door to collect debts."

  According to the latest situation, on July 8, Tongcheng Life has started to repay some of its suppliers’ debts in advance, and the rest will be distributed by the court after the bankruptcy liquidation procedure is started. At present, the work is still in progress in an orderly manner.

  As of the morning of July 9, more than 600 suppliers have reached repayment agreements with Fresh Orange Technology, and the money mainly comes from the loan raised by He Pengyu and the team.

  On July 9, Mr. Wang booked a return ticket with the repayment agreement. But next time, if the community group buying platform collapses again, can suppliers be so lucky?

Mobile phone battery is not durable? 14 tips to extend battery life

Mobile phone battery is not durable? 14 tips to extend battery life

  If the user wants to extend the effective service life of the battery, besides the quality of the charger, the correct charging method is also essential, because the poor quality charger or the wrong charging method will affect the service life and cycle life of the battery. Here are the skills that the author has compiled to extend the service life of the rechargeable battery of the mobile phone:

Mobile phone battery is not durable? Teach you how to use batteries correctly

14 tips

  1. Please use the charger of the original factory or a reputable brand, and use the special charger for lithium batteries, and follow the instructions, otherwise the battery will be damaged or even dangerous.

  2. If the newly bought mobile phone battery is lithium ion, the first 3~5 times of charging is generally called the adjustment period, and it should be charged for more than 14 hours to ensure the full activation of lithium ion. Lithium-ion battery has no memory effect, but it has strong inertia. It should be fully activated to ensure the best performance in future use.

  3. Before the battery leaves the factory, the manufacturers have activated it and pre-charged it, so all the batteries have surplus electricity. Some friends say that the battery is charged according to the adjustment period, and the standby time is still seriously insufficient. Assuming that the battery is indeed a genuine battery, in this case, the adjustment period should be extended and then fully charged and discharged for 3~5 times.

  4. Before charging, the lithium battery does not need special discharge, and improper discharge will damage the battery. Try to charge slowly when charging, and reduce the fast charging mode; Time should not exceed 24 hours. After three to five complete charge and discharge cycles, the chemicals in the battery will be fully "activated" to achieve the best use effect.

  Some automatic intelligent fast chargers only indicate that they are 90% full when the signal light changes. The charger will automatically change to charge the battery at a slow speed. It is best to use the battery after it is fully charged, otherwise it will shorten the use time.

  6. Many users often leave their mobile phones on when charging. In fact, this will easily hurt the life of their mobile phones, because during the charging process, the circuit board of the mobile phones will heat up. At this time, if there is an external phone, it may produce instantaneous backflow current, which will damage the internal parts of the mobile phones.

  7. The life of the battery depends on the number of repeated charge and discharge, so we should try to avoid charging the battery when there is surplus electricity, which will shorten the life of the battery. When the phone is turned off for more than 7 days, the battery of the phone should be fully discharged before use.

  8. Mobile phone batteries all have self-discharge. When not in use, the Ni-MH battery will discharge about 1% of the remaining capacity every day, and the lithium battery will discharge 0.2%~0.3% every day. When charging the battery, try to use a special socket, and don’t share the socket with household appliances such as TV sets.

  9. Although the mobile phone is within the network coverage area, it can no longer accept and make calls when the mobile phone is turned off and charged. At this time, you can use the mobile phone’s no-call transfer function to transfer the mobile phone to the fixed phone around you to prevent the loss of incoming calls. This method is also applicable when the mobile phone is not in the network coverage area or the signal is weak and temporarily unable to connect.

  10. Don’t expose the battery to high temperature or cold, like in dog days, don’t put the mobile phone in the car and expose it to the scorching sun; Or take it to an air-conditioned room and put it in a place where cold air blows directly. When charging, it is normal for the battery to be a little hot, but it cannot be subjected to the "suffering" of high temperature. In order to avoid this, it is best to charge at room temperature and don’t cover anything on the phone.

  11. nickel cadmium (N iCd) battery must be fully charged before charging and fully charged after recharging.

  12. If the mobile phone battery is left unused for too long, it is best to apply to the mobile phone maintenance department for a live treatment of the battery, or you can use a DC constant voltage device yourself to adjust the voltage to 5~6V and the current to 500~600mA to connect the battery in reverse. Note: release it at the touch, and repeat it for up to three times. After this treatment, use the original charger for "adjustment period" charging.

  13. When charging, the longer the better. If the battery without protection circuit is fully charged, it should be stopped, otherwise the performance of the battery will be affected by heat or overheating.

  14. Lithium-ion battery must use special charger, otherwise it may not reach saturation state, which will affect its performance. After charging, avoid placing it on the charger for more than 12 hours, and separate the battery from the mobile phone when it is not used for a long time.

  The above 14-point mobile phone charging method has been proved by practice to effectively extend the life of mobile phone batteries, and friends who need it can try it, saving money and resources.
