China-Central Asia Summit | Show you five different Central Asian countries!

  Central Asia starts from the Caspian Sea in the west, borders China in the east, Russia in the north and Iran and Afghanistan in the south, including Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. In 1992, China established diplomatic relations with five Central Asian countries.

  Central Asian countries are located in the center of the Eurasian continent, which is the only place where the ancient Silk Road passes, crossing China and the West, connecting the North and the South, where Chinese and foreign goods circulate, and where eastern and western civilizations meet. Nowadays, in the ancient and vast land of Central Asia, the Silk Road is shining again.

  Kazakhstan: Hometown of Wild Tulips

  As the largest landlocked country in the world, Kazakhstan spans two continents, Asia and Europe, with a vast territory and a sparse population. Kazakhstan has a land area of 2,724,900 square kilometers, ranking ninth in the world. By the beginning of March 2023, the population of Kazakhstan exceeded 19.8 million. The capital of Kazakhstan is Astana, the national language is Kazakh, and Russian and Kazakh are both official languages. Kazakhstan is the pioneer and important hub of the Silk Road Economic Belt.

  Kazakhstan is regarded as the hometown of wild tulips, and most tulip varieties in the world originate from Kazakhstan, which is an important reason why Kazakhstan has designated it as the national flower. Kazakhs attach great importance to the protection of wild tulips. There are more than 30 kinds of wild tulips in Kazakhstan, 18 of which are recognized as endangered species and listed in the "Red Book" of protection list. If the wild tulips listed in the list are illegally harvested, the most serious penalty is 3 years’ imprisonment. Being associated with tulips adds romance to this country.

  The residents of Kazakhstan are composed of about 130 ethnic groups, including Kazakhs, Russians, Ukrainians, Uzbeks, Germans and Tatars, among which Kazakhs account for 70.6% and Russians account for 15.1%. The residents mainly believe in Islam and Orthodox Church.

  On March 22nd, 2023, various cultural and sports activities were held in Astana to celebrate the Na Urus Festival.

Kazakhs are good at singing and dancing, and all kinds of cultural and sports activities, such as playing, dancing, kicking shuttlecock, etc., are popular every holiday, and various competitions such as falcon, horse racing, wrestling, chasing girls, grabbing sheep, wrestling at once and archery are also held. Kazakhs worship wolf totem, and myths about wolves are widely circulated among the people.

  The traditional foods of Kazakhs are pasta, horse meat, horse milk and camel milk. The most common drink is milk tea. The national dish is "Bieshi Bahrmark", which means "Five Fingers". The main ingredients are boiled horse meat with salted noodles smeared with oil, which is a local special food on holidays. In the severe winter, many people living in the cold areas in the north eat horse meat to resist the cold.

  Almaty is the largest city in Kazakhstan. There is a street named after China musician Xian Xinghai, and there is a street named after Kazakhstan musician Baikadamov not far away. Two parallel streets record the friendship between two musicians during the war. Through time, the touching stories of the two musicians have been passed down from generation to generation.

  2024 is the year of Kazakh tourism in China. Kazakhstan is rich in tourism resources, and the most famous scenic spot in the southern region is Chalun Canyon. The best tourist destination in the western region is Karadji Ye Depression, which is the second lowest place in the world, and the Caspian Sea is located here. In Kazakhstan at the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain, about 50 kilometers away from Almaty, it is an important site on the Silk Road — — Lachart site attracts the attention of archaeologists from China and Kazakhstan.

  There are many historical sites in Kazakhstan, including the mausoleum of Hoza Ahmet Yasavi, which is one of the most famous historical sites in Kazakhstan and a representative of medieval architectural art in Central Asia. Tangbala rock painting, which is the first historic site in Central Asia to be included in the UNESCO World Heritage List; The remains of Tass Palace in akol, full of mystery and historical secrets; Zarkent Mosque with Chinese style, a large wooden building complex, does not use a nail.

  Kyrgyzstan: "Little Switzerland"

  The beautiful natural environment, mountains and lakes make Kyrgyzstan win the reputation of "Little Switzerland in Central Asia", attracting millions of tourists from all over the world every year.

  Kyrgyzstan has a land area of 199,900 square kilometers, mountainous territory with an average elevation of 2,750 meters, and 90% of its territory is above 1,500 meters above sea level, with a continental climate. By April 2023, the population of Kyrgyzstan was about 7 million. There are more than 80 ethnic groups in China, and more than 80% of the residents believe in Islam. Kyrgyz is the national language and Russian is the official language. Bishkek, the capital, located in the Chu River Valley, is a famous city in Central Asia, and now it is the largest city in China with a population of over one million.

  Tourists who come to Kyrgyzstan often want to visit the "guardian of heaven in Kyrgyzstan" — — Issyk, L. It is a famous summer resort in Central Asia, with a length of 182 kilometers, a width of 61 kilometers, an area of more than 6,000 square kilometers, and the deepest part of the lake reaches 702 meters, making it the second largest alpine lake in the world.

  Lake Issyk-Kul means "warm lake" in Kyrgyz. It is not frozen all year round and the lake is clear and transparent. Fantasy and mystery are the words most used by people who have been to Lake Issyk-Kul to describe it. Standing by the lake, the blue and wide lake is like the sea. The snow-capped mountains on the south bank are like a mirage in the clouds. Sunlight shines from the cracks in the clouds on the lake, and the lake is blue and green, like a jewel that blends with each other.

  In 2011, the reporter visited Calabor Yi Village on the north bank of Lake Issyk. There is a little-known museum of ancient rock paintings in the village, and local researchers are convinced that one of the stones is also carved with a portrait of China and Zhang Qian when he went to the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty.

  Tajikistan: the "country of mountains" where eagles fly.

  Tajikistan is located in the southeast of Central Asia, bordering China in the east, Afghanistan in the south, Uzbekistan in the west and Kyrgyzstan in the north, with a land area of 143,100 square kilometers, making it the smallest country in Central Asia. Tajikistan is known as the "country with high mountains", and its territory is mountainous, with a mountainous area exceeding 90% of its land area.

  Thanks to abundant mountain melting snow and huge terrain difference, Tajikistan is rich in hydraulic resources, ranking eighth in the world in terms of reserves and ranking first in the world in terms of per capita possession. The Fichenko Glacier, located in central Tajikistan, has a total length of more than 70 kilometers and a maximum thickness of about 1000 meters. It is the longest glacier in the world except the Antarctic and the Arctic. The tower is rich in precious metals such as lead, zinc, tungsten, gold, silver, tin and copper, as well as mineral resources such as oil, natural gas, halite, boron and coal.

  Tajikistan is a multi-ethnic country with more than 80 ethnic groups, and its population exceeded 10 million in July 2022. Among them, Tajiks account for about 80%, Uzbeks account for about 15% and Russians account for about 1%. More than 80% of the residents believe in Islam. Tajik is the national and official language, and Russian is the language of inter-ethnic communication.

  The word "Tajik" originally meant a person wearing a crown or a member of an aristocratic family. Tajiks worship eagles, which symbolize courage and heroism. Tajiks like white and green, thinking that white is pure and clean, and green symbolizes happiness and beauty.

  Interestingly, in the history of Tajikistan, villages and cities are often named after the day of the week, because it can make people in the past know what day of the week a large market will be held here. Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, means in Tajik that on Monday, the population of the city exceeded one million.

  Turkmenistan: "The Crossroads of Seven Roads on Earth"

  Turkmenistan is a landlocked country located in the southwest of Central Asia, bordering Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in the north and northeast, facing the Caspian Sea in the west and Azerbaijan and Russia across the sea, bordering Iran in the south and Afghanistan in the southeast. The capital is Ashgabat.

  Turkmenistan covers an area of 491,200 square kilometers, about 80% of which is covered by Karakum Desert. With a population of more than 6 million, it consists of more than 120 ethnic groups, of which Turkmen account for 94.7%, and the vast majority of residents believe in Islam.

  Turkmenistan is extremely rich in natural gas resources and is known as the "country of blue gold". Because of the "gas", spontaneous leakage of underground natural gas in Turkmenistan, blowout in oil and gas operations and other "gas leakage" phenomena are common. Dawaza natural gas pit, located in the center of Karakum desert, is the most serious place of "gas leakage", and it is also the legendary "Hell Gate". Viewed from the air, this pothole is like a huge crater, with a diameter of about 70 meters and a depth of about 20 meters. Boiling mud and bright orange flames rise from the abyss, as if the devil would jump out of it at any time, so the locals named it "Hell’s Gate".

  Ashgabat, the capital, is known as the city of marble. In this city, a large number of building facades, including government offices, are inlaid with white marble. Against the background of white marble, the city surrounded by desert looks neat and bright. Ashgabat is also known as the "Fountain Capital", where water is more expensive than oil, but the fountain landscape can be seen everywhere.

  Turkmen people’s living customs have distinctive ethnic characteristics. Most people are used to eating spices such as pepper, onion, fennel and mint. Traditional foods include hand-picked rice, grilled naan, barbecue and braised naan in broth. Turkmenistan people like to eat grapes, melons and other local fruits, as well as dried apricots, raisins and walnuts. Tea is the main beverage in Turkmenistan, and camel milk is often used to cool off in summer.

  The region where Turkmenistan is located was once one of the important centers of Central Asian civilization. It is the only place where the painted pottery road, the glass road, the golden road road, the lapis lazuli road, the grassland road, the spice road and the bronze road pass. It is known as the "crossroads of seven roads on earth" on the Silk Road.

  Historically, China and Turkey have formed close commercial, economic and cultural ties. According to the historical narrative of Turkmen people, many centuries ago, they exchanged tea, silkworm eggs, silk and porcelain with Chinese through the Silk Road with Akhal Jiejinma (bloody BMW) and Arabica (Central Asian Shepherd Dog). It is worth mentioning that the Arable Dog and Akhal Jiejinma are national symbols of Turkmenistan, and the image of Akhal Jiejinma is drawn in the center of Turkmenistan’s national emblem.

  Uzbekistan: "Four Gold Countries"

  Uzbekistan is a "double landlocked country" located in the hinterland of Central Asia, that is, it has no seaport and its five neighboring countries are all landlocked. With a land area of 448,900 square kilometers, it is bordered by Afghanistan in the south, Kazakhstan in the north and northeast, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in the east and southeast, and Turkmenistan in the west, with an arid continental climate.

  Up to now, the population of Uzbekistan is 36.28 million. There are more than 130 ethnic groups in Uzbekistan, of which more than 80% are Uzbek, and other ethnic groups include Tajik and Russian. Most residents believe in Islam. Uzbek is the official language of the country and Russian is the lingua franca.

  Uzbekistan is rich in resources and is known as the "country of four gold". The pillar industries of the national economy are "four gold": gold, "platinum" (cotton), "black gold" (oil) and "blue gold" (natural gas).

  Uzbekistan is the country with the richest silk road cultural heritage in Central Asia, with many ancient cultural cities, among which Tashkent, Samarkand, Shahristabuz, Shiva and Bukhara are dotted with pearls. The ancient and mysterious silk road temperament is attracting more and more tourists.

  Entering Uzbekistan is like entering just visiting. Every scenic spot is engraved with traces of time, and every scenic spot is telling a thousand-year history. If you want to appreciate the mythical country depicted in Arabian Nights in reality, Uzbekistan may be the best choice.

  Samarkand, which means "fertile land", is the second largest city in Uzbekistan and one of the oldest cities in Central Asia. Samarkand has a history of more than 2,500 years. It was once the capital of the Timur Empire. At its peak, it was the political, economic, scientific and cultural center of Central Asia. It is also an important town of the ancient Silk Road, and it was the only place to travel from China to India, Arabia and Europe. There are many historical sites in the city, such as palaces, tombs, mosques and monasteries.

  Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, is also an important hub on the ancient Silk Road, where China’s ancient Zhang Qian, Faxian and Xuanzang all left footprints. Delicious fruit, vibrant urban landscape, always bustling bazaar, hospitable people … … Tashkent always leaves a good impression. If you come to Uzbekistan on March 21st, you can also feel the lively atmosphere of Naurus Festival.

Now the wild Siberian tiger and leopard in Changbai Mountain area of Jilin Province have been photographed by the footprint camera.

  Changchun, Changchun, December 18 (Reporter Liu Yuanyuan) According to the Voice of China, "Chaoguang News" reported that the footprints of wild Amur tigers and Amur leopards have been discovered in Changbai Mountain area of Jilin Province recently, and a far-infrared monitoring camera even successfully photographed the tiger.

  According to reports, these Siberian tigers and leopards were found in the south of Laoyeling branch of Changbai Mountain in Jilin Province, belonging to two forest farms in Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture. In Xinkai Forest Farm, at 6: 19 pm on December 10th, three photos of tigers were taken, one full-length and two half-length.

  As you can see from the photo, a huge and strong tiger is bowing its head in the snow at night. Experts confirmed that this is an adult wild Siberian tiger. In another forest farm, on December 13th and 14th, there were traces of animals walking and lying on their nests. The animal footprint on the scene is 24 cm long and 18 cm wide, and the length of the nest on the snow is about 1.9 meters. Experts initially determined that this may be a young Siberian tiger or an adult Siberian leopard.

  It is reported that the two forest areas where the discovery site is located are adjacent to two existing national nature reserves in Jilin Province and Heilongjiang Province respectively. Experts say that this is a potential settlement where the expanded breeding population of the Northeast Tiger is looking for a new home, and it is also a key ecological corridor for the Northeast Tiger from Russia to spread to the hinterland of Changbai Mountain along the border between Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces. Therefore, it is in a very important position in the habitat optimization and integration of Amur tiger in Changbai Mountain area of China. Since 2012, there have been many incidents in which female Siberian tiger dung, Siberian tiger footprints and Siberian tigers and leopards attacked cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock. It can be said that the frequent appearance of the Northeast Tiger reflects that the ecological protection in Changbai Mountain has been fruitful since the establishment of Jilin Province for 20 years, and various wild animal populations have been restored, which has provided a strong guarantee for the habitat of the Northeast Tiger and the Northeast Leopard, the first-class protected animals in the country.

Details of Tank 300 are announced. Off-road is comparable to herdsman, and the fuel tank is as high as 80L.

Haval H9 (parameter picture) and Great Wall cannon are far beyond the expectation of the Great Wall in terms of technical accumulation and user response. Therefore, even though BBA stands out from the crowd with new products at the Beijing Auto Show, WEY brand has finally become a popular brother in its own brand, which shows how powerful the drainage function of the hard-core SUV tank 300 is.

Haval H9 is just a foreshadowing.

According to the expert’s thinking, Tank 300 is actually regarded as the second-generation architecture product in the Great Wall hard-core SUV matrix. The reason for this is not only that WEY tank platform has been able to realize the variable size and parts sharing like Volkswagen MQB and Toyota TNGA on the non-load-bearing body, but also that Great Wall has finally developed a pure hard-core structure part-time 4wd on the harder-core off-road equipment.

We should know that the popularity of Haval H9 and Great Wall Gun on the Internet is nothing more than playing with mud, climbing big slopes and flying sand, which is comparable to Prado’s performance. However, while users marvel that this performance has exceeded the price expectation, users have ravaged this car for a long time, which has also caused the fact that the TOD four-wheel drive (timely four-wheel drive) of Great Wall is still unstable in harsh environment.

Therefore, it is self-evident that Great Wall put the tank platform with part-time 4wd architecture in WEY brand. The first benefit is not only to increase the premium rate of Great Wall in the field of professional four-wheel drive again, but also to help WEY brand open up a second SUV subdivision attribute other than VV series.

Performance herdsman, interior is better than Mercedes-Benz.

With the part-time 4wd system, a trump card related to the life and death of a hard-core SUV, WEY naturally doesn’t need to weigh the balance between space and off-road performance on the tank 300 like H9, so the overall body not only follows the big form of Jeep herdsman, but also continues to improve off-road passing performance through a smaller body and wheelbase.

Of course, in terms of appearance and interior, the tank 300 is also very Nice. The retro shape design with bright colors not only attracts the attention of passers-by, but also moves to the interior full of luxury technology to compete for the attention of minority groups.

Of course, returning to the essence of off-road spirit, the initial product of Tank 300 did not fully use the dreamy 3.0T power configuration in PPT, or the 2.0T+8AT powertrain of Haval H9, but two different sub-models will be launched according to the player’s mentality (capital), that is to say, the road version will still be equipped with the same TOD four-wheel drive system as H9, and the off-road version will be equipped with the latest part-time 4wd system. Who will be after listing?

In this era, apart from a set of reliable four-wheel drive, two locks and three locks, it is absolutely impossible without a dazzling array of electronic auxiliary systems. In addition to having the same tank turning and crawling modes and nine driving modes as H9, Tank 300 has also developed an all-terrain mode similar to Land Rover in 4L mode.

In addition to the help of hardware and electronic control for extreme off-road, the tank 300 is equipped with an 80L fuel tank which is close to the size of the five-door version of herdsman. Therefore, even if the fuel consumption rises to 15L/100km during hard-core off-road, the remaining 70L gasoline is enough to make the tank 300 last more than 450 km.

If we want to predict the price, then this model may once again break through the WEY car price ceiling. Except for the special limited edition, the off-road version will probably come to around 240,000, while the road version will be expected to get started at around 160,000, so it is true that he is a domestic Rubicon.

Actor Zhao Lusi has a new identity.

Comprehensive Report of Metropolitan Express On May 9th, the Olympic official website showed that Zhao Lusi became a torchbearer of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games and will carry the Olympic flame at the 10th stop.

Geely Auto was accused of plagiarism behind the "great pressure"

"Investor Network" Ge Fanmei

On March 9, Geely Automobile (0175.HK) announced that the company has submitted an application to the Stock Exchange for the addition of RMB counters, in order to support the new Hong Kong dollar-RMB dual-counter model plan launched by the Stock Exchange. This means that Geely Automobile is expected to become the first batch of Hong Kong-listed companies to join the dual-counter model.

The announcement said Geely believed the dual-counter arrangement could provide investors with new trading currency options and potentially more liquidity. The HKD-RMB dual-counter model also allows bookmakers to provide liquidity to their RMB counters and narrow the price differential between their HKD and RMB counters.

In the capital markets, Geely Automobile’s "RMB Hong Kong stock" is about to be realized. In terms of business, the company has made a bad start this year. In late February, the company launched a new energy sub-brand "Geely Galaxy", and soon fell into the "plagiarism door".

For Geely Automobile, an old car company with a 25-year history of car manufacturing, in addition to the plagiarism scandal, its continued decline in performance and loneliness in the new energy field may be more embarrassing. Now, Geely Automobile has high hopes for "Geely Galaxy", can it help it achieve corner overtaking in the field of new energy vehicles?

Trapped in the "plagiarism door"

On February 23, Geely Automobile launched a new mid-to-high-end new energy series – "Geely Galaxy", and released the prototype of Geely Galaxy "Galaxy Light".

According to reports, the "Geely Galaxy" series will launch seven new models within two years, of which the Galaxy intelligent electric hybrid L series will launch four products, the first electric hybrid SUV Galaxy L7 and the first electric hybrid car Galaxy L6 will be delivered in the second and third quarters of this year respectively; Galaxy intelligent pure electric E series will launch three products, of which the first pure electric product E8 will be delivered in the fourth quarter of this year.

However, less than a week later, "Geely Galaxy" ushered in plagiarism doubts. On February 28, a lawyer’s letter sent by Chongqing Baijun Law Firm, the law firm entrusted by Changan Automobile, pointed out that the prototype of Geely Galaxy’s "Galaxy Light" has a lot of similarities with Changan Automobile’s concept car and mass-produced models. It is suspected that a large number of copies of the appearance of Changan Automobile’s released models have seriously infringed the relevant intellectual property rights of Changan Automobile.

According to the comparison chart circulated on the Internet, the outside world pointed out that the original model of Geely Galaxy and Changan Automobile Deep Blue SL03, UNI-V and other models have similarities in the front face, headlights and tail shape. According to the data, the Deep Blue SL03 was launched in July 2022, priced between 17-200,000 yuan, providing pure electric version, extended range version and hydrogen electric version. As of the end of February this year, the cumulative delivery volume reached 37,328 vehicles.

In response to the plagiarism rumors, Geely Automobile directly denounced the above-mentioned lawyer’s letter as "seriously untrue and groundless, misleading the public, and causing serious damage to our brand and goodwill." According to a statement released by Geely Automobile on February 28, Geely Galaxy Light is an original design of Geely, and there is no plagiarism and infringement of others’ intellectual property rights.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Zheng, vice president of design of Geely Automobile Group, joined Geely in March 2022 after working for Changan Automobile for 20 years and served as the global design director of Changan Automobile Group.

However, Geely Automobile has already applied for the Galaxy series trademark. Qichacha shows that Geely Automobile applied for the registration of the "Galaxy Light" trademark on March 2, which is internationally classified as a means of transportation, and the current trademark status is "under registration application". Previously, Geely has also applied for "Geely Galaxy", "Jizhi Galaxy", "Haoqing Galaxy" and other Galaxy series trademarks.

New energy vehicle "underachiever"?

Lin Jie, vice president of Geely Automobile Group, once said that the sales goal of each product of the Galaxy series is to become the top three in the market segment, and the joint geometry brand will cover 65% of the future new energy vehicle market.

In fact, Geely Automobile has already made big claims about its new energy layout, but the reality is not as good as it wants. As early as November 2015, Geely Automobile announced the implementation of a five-year development strategy called "Blue Geely Action", with the goal of "reaching 90% of new energy vehicle sales by 2020."

However, by 2020, Geely Automobile’s annual sales of new energy vehicles 68,000, down 39.7% year-on-year, accounting for only 5.2%. In 2021, Geely Automobile’s new energy vehicles were delivered 61,000, down 10% year-on-year, and still failed to achieve the new energy sales target. Geely Automobile, which is brave in the fuel vehicle market competition, has frequently lost in the new energy battlefield.

In fact, from the perspective of peer companies, it is not difficult to find that Geely Automobile’s layout in new energy vehicles is relatively late. When NIO, Li Auto, and XPeng Motors were launched in the United States in September 2018, July 2020, and August 2020 after four, five, and six years of establishment respectively, Geely Automobile really began to make big moves in the field of new energy vehicles.

Geely Automobile established Geometry Automobile in April 2019, positioning it as a new brand of mid-to-high-end pure electric vehicles, but the development of Geometry Automobile was not smooth in the first two years. Data show that in 2019 and 2020, the annual sales of Geometry Automobile remained at about 10,000 vehicles. In order to occupy a place in the field of new energy vehicles, Geely Automobile and its parent company established the new energy brand of Extreme Krypton Automobile in March 2021.

Entering 2022, the new energy vehicles under Geely Automobile began to exert force. According to Geely Automobile data, the cumulative sales of pure electric vehicles under Geely Automobile in 2022 were 262,000, an increase of 328% year-on-year, and 66,000 plug-in hybrid vehicles, an increase of 219% year-on-year. Although it is far higher than the industry’s 90% year-on-year growth rate, it is still unable to compare with the giants Tesla and BYD in scale. In 2022, BYD’s cumulative sales were 1.8635 million, an increase of 208.64% year-on-year. Among them, the sales of pure electric vehicles exceeded 910,000; while Tesla’s annual sales were 1.31 million, and about 440,000 in China.

As a traditional automaker with independent core technologies, Geely Automobile has followed in the footsteps of BYD’s transformation from traditional automakers to new energy vehicles.

Data show that BYD’s annual sales in 2018 were 520,000, only one-third of Geely Automobile’s total sales, but BYD’s new energy vehicle sales accounted for 47.5% at this time. Since March 2022, BYD has stopped the production of fuel vehicles, becoming the first car company in the world to officially announce the suspension of fuel vehicles. Until February this year, Geely Automobile’s new energy vehicles accounted for 21.4%, and fuel vehicles are still the company’s main sales force.

In January 2023, BYD sold 151,341 units, an increase of 62.44% year-on-year. During the same period, while BYD’s sales were growing, Geely Automobile’s sales fell sharply, achieving sales of 103,452 units, a decrease of about 29% year-on-year. Regarding the decline in sales, Geely Automobile explained that it was "mainly affected by the early Spring Festival holiday."

The performance is "under great pressure"

In 2022, Geely Automobile’s total sales volume was 1.43 million, an increase of about 8% year-on-year. Among them, the cumulative sales volume of new energy throughout the year was 328,727, and new energy accounted for about 23%.

In fact, compared with Geely Automobile’s previous sales target of 1.53 million vehicles in 2022, the company has not met the target. This is already the fifth consecutive year that Geely Automobile has not met the sales target. However, for 2023, Geely Automobile sets the sales target at 1.65 million vehicles, of which the sales target of new energy vehicles is more than 100% higher than the total sales achieved in 2022.

The continuous improvement of sales targets may be to ensure the full implementation of the "Smart Geely 2025" strategy. The strategy was proposed by Geely Automobile in 2021 and announced that the total sales target of 2025 cars is 3.65 million, of which 650,000 are Krypton cars and 3 million are Geely cars.

Extreme Krypton, a well-known new energy vehicle brand under Geely Automobile, sold only 71,900 vehicles in 2022. Since its establishment in March 2021, Extreme Krypton’s capital movements have been frequent. When the Pre-A round of strategic financing was completed in August 2021, the post-money valuation was about 9 billion US dollars, and the recent completion of 750 million US dollars financing, the post-money valuation was 13 billion US dollars, about 89.80 billion yuan; Geely Automobile is planning to spin off Extreme Krypton. Compared with the new car-making forces NIO, Xiaopeng, Ideal, and Zero Run, which have sold more than 100,000 cars in 2022, as of March 10, the valuation of the corresponding four companies is 102.40 billion yuan, 59.80 billion yuan, 154.90 billion yuan, 27 billion yuan; It is not difficult to see that the valuation of polar krypton is higher.

For new car manufacturers, profitability is still a problem. Extreme Krypton Auto’s net losses in 2021 and the first half of 2022 reached 1.01 billion yuan and 759 million yuan respectively. In just one and a half years, Extreme Krypton has lost up to 1.769 billion yuan.

Geely Automobile’s continued losses and huge demand for capital may also put pressure on Geely Automobile. Geely Automobile disclosed that in the first half of 2022, Geely Automobile’s gross profit margin fell by 2.6 percentage points year-on-year to 14.6%, and the sharp decline in net profit was mainly due to the negative impact of the increase in raw material costs and the increase in the proportion of new energy vehicles.

In recent years, Geely Automobile’s net profit decline has become a trend. Wind data shows that from 2019 to 2021, the company’s net profit was 8.19 billion yuan, 5.534 billion yuan and 4.847 billion yuan, respectively, down 34.76%, 32.43% and 12.4% year-on-year; in the first half of 2022, Geely Automobile’s net profit further decreased by 34.81% year-on-year, to 1.552 billion yuan.

In terms of profitability, Geely Automobile’s gross profit margin in 2018 fell from 20.2% to 14.6% in the first half of 2022, but the expense ratio rose from 7.8% in 2018 to 13.7% in the first half of 2022, and the expense ratio continued to rise. In comparison, BYD’s gross profit margin in the first half of 2022 was 13.51% and the expense ratio was 8.58%. During the same period, Geely Automobile’s gross profit margin was slightly higher than BYD, but the expense ratio was much higher than BYD.

At the same time, Geely Automobile’s inventory is high. As of the end of June 2022, Geely Automobile’s inventory was 7.567 billion yuan, a significant increase from 5.522 billion yuan at the end of 2021. In the inventory, the inventory of manufactured goods increased sharply from 2.94 billion yuan at the end of 2021 to 4.063 billion yuan at the end of June 2022. How to remove inventory also tests Geely Automobile’s management ability. (Produced by Thinking Finance) ■

Zhiji Automobile and the Cultural and Education Office of the British Embassy reached a strategic cooperation intention.

At the IM Zhiji booth of the 2021 Shanghai International Auto Show, Zhiji Automobile and the British Council jointly promoted cultural education and artistic exchanges between China and Britain, creating a unique interactive platform for art design lovers and groups studying in the UK, and reaching a strategic cooperation intention. The two sides will carry out in-depth cooperation in creative industries and "StudyUK" and other education projects in the UK.

In addition, Zhiji Automobile will jointly promote the "StudyUK" project with the British Council of the British Embassy; Through a series of activities, such as holding a live online briefing before leaving for Britain, China International Education Exhibition, studying in the UK project manual, and setting up the "UK Alumni Awards", we can help young people in China to receive high-quality education faster and better, obtain internationally recognized qualifications, and stimulate more creative inspiration and expression in their study and communication.

As an international organization providing educational opportunities and promoting cultural exchanges in Britain, the British Council of the British Embassy has been committed to bringing the most valuable creative essence of Britain to China and introducing it to the public in China through arts, culture, education and English language projects for many years. In 2015, the British Council of the British Embassy cooperated with SAIC in several cultural projects of the "China-UK Cultural Exchange Year".

Since its inception, Zhiji Automobile has attached great importance to cooperating with global art masters to create; It has successively formed a "global partner" with Heatherwick Studio, a studio founded by Thomas Heatherwick, a British contemporary Leonardo da Vinci, and teamLab, a prestigious international cross-domain art team. While subverting the car travel experience with intelligent technology, it injects soul into car design with unique artistic and humanistic connotations.

24-hour bookstore enriches wuhan nightlife. You have a good place to stay up late reading.

Citizens read books in a 24-hour bookstore. Intern Peng Hua, reporter Yang Taoshe

  In November 2014, Zall Bookstore launched a 24-hour business mechanism of "culture does not close", waiting for people to read books every cold or hot night. At that time, Zall was the first 24-hour bookstore in Wuhan. In recent years, the 24-hour bookstore in Wuhan has added Jiuqiu Library and Boshihui City Study, enriching the cultural nightlife in Wuhan.

  24-hour bookstore is a night reader.

  Provide a quiet place for reading

  "There will be many interesting things happening at night." Luna is the manager of Jiuqiu Library, which is located in Dongsan Road, Fruit Lake, Wuchang District. It opened on January 25, 2016 and has been open since then.

  On the 18th, she told reporters that the biggest feeling of working at night shift is to find that there are really many people who love learning. There used to be an old man who rode an old bicycle every night and went back around 6: 00 in the morning. He studied English here all night. There are often some students from Wu Da University here, and he will ask them for advice. A girl from Wu Da University specially prepares study materials for this grandfather, and she will put them here the next day for the clerk to hand over to him.

  On the 18th, a young girl was watching a video with headphones, and there was a book full of notes in front of her. The post-90s girl who was preparing for the exam as a certified public accountant usually came over after work and talked about her views on this 24-hour bookstore. The girl said, "People who stay up late need this kind of store very much."

  Unattended libraries can "brush their faces" to borrow books

  On July 12th this year, the 24-hour city study room on the first floor of Boshihui International Plaza in Jiang ‘an District opened to welcome guests, which is located near Sanyang Road subway station. There is no librarian in the museum, and citizens can enter the museum at any time, "brush their faces", and apply for certificates and borrow books by themselves. This is the first unattended intelligent library in Wuhan. Since opening up, it has become a popular punching point for citizens.

  On the 18th, the reporter visited this intelligent library. At about 9 pm that day, a floor-to-ceiling transparent glass study room on the left side of the lobby on the first floor of the building was lit with yellowish light. There is a face recognition access control system at the door. When you enter the library for the first time, you need to swipe your ID card. There is a self-service borrowing and returning card machine in the tube, which can handle the reader’s ID card and complete face registration and WeChat binding. Later, you can enter the library without a card, and you can "brush your face" to borrow and return books by yourself.

  Ms. Mei, who passed by here at night, picked out five books, put them in the sensing place, and the machine began to recognize faces. In less than 10 seconds, the screen showed that five books were successfully borrowed at the same time. The mobile phone also received a message from WeChat prompting the successful borrowing. "Very convenient." Ms. Mei said that after the library opened, she would come here every other week or so, and if she had time, she would read here for a while.

  24-hour bookstore enriches the function of city night

  In recent years, wuhan nightlife has become increasingly diversified. In addition to consumption and entertainment at night, the opening of 24-hour bookstores and other cultural places has provided people with new choices and enriched the city’s night functions.

  At about 10 pm on the 17th, Mr. Deng, who lives near Zall Bookstore, wanted to go to the movies, but when he passed by the bookstore, he saw the lights on in the store and chose to go into the bookstore. "Watching movies is more of a social need. It will be better to go with friends, and it will be more enjoyable to read when you are alone." In 2013, Zall Bookstore opened in Wuhan and noticed that many readers had no time during the day and could only come at night. In 2014, Zall Bookstore started the 24-hour business mechanism of "culture does not close" and became the first 24-hour bookstore in Wuhan.

  On the 17th, when talking about the original intention of Zall Bookstore’s 24-hour opening, Ms. Gao, the manager, told the reporter that the 24-hour bookstore provided a choice and place for those who only had time to quiet down and study at night. 24-hour bookstore will not bring much benefit, but it is a functional existence, and there will always be people who need it, which is a useful supplement to the cultural construction of the city.

  Feng Guilin, a researcher at Hubei Academy of Social Sciences, believes that the more convenient the cultural facilities are for the public, the more diverse the forms and contents, and the more diverse the needs of various groups. This is not only a promotion for a city’s function, but also a guide, which can better improve citizens’ civilization quality.

Observation variety: Although the story is good-looking, don’t lose the sense of reality.

  Hu Xiang

  Recently, observation variety shows have become more and more popular. In the second season of "Exciting offer", the camera is aimed at the legal elites who have just entered the workplace, showing their process of upgrading and cracking monsters, from youth to maturity. Under the same roof, the observed people are a group of strange young people who live together in an apartment. The program hits the pain point that young people are too busy to socialize, can’t socialize, and dare not socialize, causing heated discussion. Why does this vertically subdivided observation variety show repeatedly break the circle? This is related to their omniscient and omnipotent perspective of God and the constant self-evolution of internal narrative.

  Two-layer narrative theory and web synthesis version 2.0

  Genette, a structuralist narrator, put forward a double-layer narrative theory. This division theory holds that the first narrative of literary works is an external story, which focuses on presenting the whole work; The second layer is internal narrative, focusing on sharing internal stories. Therefore, the double-layer narrative structure can be divided into internal and external narrative perspectives. The external perspective focuses on explaining the narrative from the internal perspective, while the internal perspective focuses on strengthening the authenticity of the story and promoting the plot development. This theory is suitable for observing variety shows. The internal narrative is the story of the observed object, and the external narrative is the off-site comments of the star guests. Internal narrative is responsible for creating suspense and conflict, while external narrative is a discussion field of values, which complement each other and advance together. This is forming a relatively fixed variety show mode, which is constantly evolving.

  From its development history, such programs as My Boy, My Daughter and My Wife’s Romantic Travel can be called Version 1.0, which is characterized by taking stars as the observation objects and mainly satisfying the audience’s interest in the personal life of stars. However, the second season of Exciting offer and Under One Roof are version 2.0. The observed objects are amateurs, and the observation tentacles also extend from single interpersonal relationship to a broader workplace and social field, with further innovation in narrative, and the biggest feature is to strengthen its storytelling.

  With the advent of the Internet age, storytelling has been promoted to a great extent, and the principle of "content is king" has become more prominent. In order to satisfy the audience’s thirst for stories, platforms and creators have almost racked their brains, whether they are long videos, medium videos or short videos, they are all pursuing a sense of story. Hot pot dramas, dinner dramas and interactive dramas emerge one after another, and variety shows follow the trend and embark on the track of storytelling.

  For example, "Under One Roof" is a true record of social stories of six strangers in a closed space on the surface, but it is actually an idol drama-style narrative. With the plot of the variety show, the characters’ behavior can also see the shadow of the script behind them, which is more dramatic on the whole. This is no longer a pure record approaching the truth of life, but more like a dramatic performance purified in life, which makes people feel a sense of being difficult to distinguish between true and false.

  The editing techniques in the second season of "Exciting offer" follow the rhythm of legal drama. Many people lament that Li Jinye is like He Yichen himself in "How to Shengxiao Mo", and the audience has a strong empathy with the characters. Some people think that story telling is a cognitive game, which can exercise our minds and let us simulate the world around us and imagine different strategies, especially in social scenes. The audience can also feel the pursuit of drama when watching variety shows, which is the charm brought by storytelling.

  Inversion, Story Sense and God’s Perspective

  The original intention of Under One Roof is to simulate a social scene and solve the social emotional needs of young people in the current fast-paced urban life. The characters selected in the program are very representative, including Liu Keli, a young boss who is busy starting a business, Li Hsing, a moat brother who realizes financial freedom, Chu Mengna who pursues the dream of an actor, and Wang Tianqi, a migrant worker who works in a fashion shop. At the beginning of the program, Liu Keli’s overbearing president’s manner, Wang Tianqi and Chu Mengna’s fireworks at street food stalls, and the mysterious e-sports professionals’ daily life were all the highlights that attracted people’s attention, because they all had a dual effect of being both real and dramatic. In particular, Wang Tianqi’s identity as a "rich second generation" from an idle worker was completely in line with the imagination of drama reversal, and the "between Li Hsing and Liu Keli and Chen Liuming" Therefore, "Under One Roof" is essentially a genre-based narrative of idol drama. In a space, it is in contact with young people from almost all walks of life and all walks of life, temporarily getting rid of the shackles of mediocre life, and seems to restart life and have a sense of fantasy.

  In contrast, the second season of "Exciting offer" is more realistic. This season, the assessment mechanism of interns is more cruel, and the "kicking the pavilion" link is introduced, and two interns with relatively backward performance are really eliminated. Interns have also gone through legal negotiation, public welfare legal aid, investigation and evidence collection, 1V1 debate and mock trial trial. Every time, their tasks are getting heavier, and "involution" is becoming more and more intense. In particular, Hui Ding’s internship in naked resignation in pursuit of a lawyer’s dream has been dubbed "Bei Shuihui", which is regarded by netizens as a portrayal of migrant workers’ workplace, thus attracting a lot of attention. "Bei Shuihui" was "at the bottom" from the beginning of the interview to the first project task, and from the second debate began to counterattack, resulting in a sense of gap. Wang Xiao, known as "Sister Wang", took the initiative to break the aura of famous schools from the "favored son of heaven" who graduated from Stanford Law School, and the gradual mature transformation also made people feel emotional. Another example is Qiu Yi’s "slow fever" from the beginning, and her bold decision in the negotiations later made people look at each other with new eyes.

  The program group just grasped the details of these changes and created a sense of story through "conscious" editing, as if letting the audience watch an eye-catching and thrilling legal industry drama. At the same time, with the advancement of the program, interns need to peel off the cold texture of legal provisions, personally explore the strong collision impact between human feelings and jurisprudence, reality and dreams in the society, feel the sense of powerlessness brought about by hard reality crushing in tears and loss, and regain their confidence and shine with the encouragement and help of teachers and friends. As robert mckee said in The Story, the story is not an escape from reality, but a carrier that carries us to pursue reality and try our best to dig out the true meaning of chaotic life.

  In addition, the guest comments on the observation variety show ostensibly provide God’s perspective, which is actually an important part of building a sense of story. The internal narrative of the observation variety is very similar to the phantom on the wall in the cave described by Plato in the Republic. It is a simulation of reality and has always been separated from reality. Guest comment time is like the role of bringing cave people into the real world. The lights are on and all the discussions are held in the sun. Moreover, when the guests expressed their views, they provided many stories with their own life experiences, including positive and negative experiences and lessons. For example, if you should take the co-pilot when accompanying the leader in the car, and how to break the social deadlock when you first enter the workplace, guests can often provide a more mature value concept. Many netizens said on the barrage that "get new skills", which is also a shortcut to "exercise your mind". Through the blending of internal and external narratives, it reflects the broad social reality, and promotes the story from the internal perspective to the output of values from the external perspective. This is the secret of the advanced narrative expression of observation variety.

  The reality show was made into an idol drama?

  Human beings’ pursuit of stories is eternal, and it is understandable that observation variety shows strengthen the sense of stories, but this will easily lead to the paradox of authenticity. The biggest feature of observation variety is truth, especially now the observation variety which is mainly amateur has become an important direction, that is, to tell more stories of ordinary people, but like Under the Same Roof, it really walks between reality and fiction. On the one hand, I want to create the texture of real life, on the other hand, especially in the second half of the program, the sense of plot design is becoming more and more obvious.

  For example, after Wang Tianqi and Chu Mengna went to the movies on a rainy day, they quarreled emotionally. Mona complained that Wang Tianqi was not considerate enough to cry, and the close-up shots in lines and actions were skillfully switched, and the sensational music was followed up in time. It was simply a replica of the idol drama around 2000, and the barrage was full of spit.

  For another example, Wu Jiawen and Li Hsing have been having an affair for a long time, but suddenly they turned him down on the grounds that she likes people with a sense of youth. In the next issue of the program, a 20-year-old basketball player who is 1.9 meters tall and full of a sense of youth immediately appeared, and they had a "love triangle". No wonder netizens think that Wu Jiawen is a "tool person" and the program has thus become a "blind date program". If the hypothetical sense of drama is not well grasped, the realism created by the whole program will be greatly reduced, which will hurt the quality of the program.

  Since the development of network observation variety, it has formed a stable expression paradigm and established its own advantages, especially its keen capture of young people’s lives, lively and free expression and moderate storytelling, which have deeply attracted young audiences. In fact, some traditional TVs are learning this mode now, but they have not learned the characteristics of networking, which leads to the good values of the program, but the communication effect is not satisfactory.

  In the future, network variety shows must understand the double-edged sword of "truth and hypothesis", try to extend the tentacles of observation into the varied society and describe the style of the times, so as to observe the truth, taste and wisdom.
