Wei Jianjun is a little annoyed by the internal and external difficulties of Great Wall Motor.

  Wei Jianjun has been a little annoyed recently. A week ago, the news that "a number of middle and high-level employees of Great Wall Motor resigned" made Great Wall Motor once again stand on the cusp.

  According to this report, before and after the Spring Festival, many middle and senior employees of Great Wall Motor Brand Company (including brands such as Haval, Wei, Tanks and Euler) offered to leave, including at least three senior employees at the vice president level and over ten section chiefs and ministers (directors and senior directors).

  The personnel adjustment of Great Wall Motor is nothing new.

  In 2023, many senior executives of brands such as Wei Pai and Haval changed frequently. There are many speculations about the reasons for the resignation of relevant executives, including unbearable work pressure and poor management. For the departure tide around the Spring Festival, Tencent’s "High Beam" column pointed to the internal anti-corruption. "The top management may have to make a big adjustment and change blood through this incident."

  Great Wall Motor does not recognize this. In a statement provided to Time Finance, it said that it would sue for accusing the report of "malicious speculation and misleading public opinion". However, Great Wall Motor did not inform the specific information of the relevant employees in this statement.

  Wei Jianjun, the chairman of Great Wall Motor, still has a lot of troubles in the past two years-in 2022, the annual sales volume of Great Wall Motor suddenly dropped from 1.28 million in the previous year to less than 1.07 million, showing signs of decline. At that time, Wei Jianjun shouted, "Great Wall Motor will squat in 2022, in order to accumulate strength and achieve a better take-off in 2023", and set the annual sales target for 2023 as 1.6 million vehicles.

  Great Wall Motor finally failed to achieve this set sales target. In 2023, it sold 1.231 million vehicles, nearly 370,000 vehicles short of the target set at the beginning of the year, and also lower than the sales of 1.28 million vehicles in 2021. Sales in 2023 failed to meet expectations, and the net profit of Great Wall Motor also fell by more than 15% year-on-year.

  Wei Jianjun, the helmsman, may not be able to sit still, because of the slumping sales volume and declining profits, and he began to make frequent appearances and voices at the front desk.

  Lao Wei’s persistence and employees’ helplessness

  Wei Jianjun is the soul of Great Wall Motor.

  In 1990, in the sixth year of the establishment of Great Wall Motor Factory, Wei Jianjun became the general manager of Great Wall Motor Industry Corporation. Since then, Wei Jianjun has been at the helm of this enterprise for 34 years. In private, many employees call him "Lao Wei".

  In 2016, the annual sales volume of Great Wall Motor exceeded 1 million vehicles for the first time, making it one of the independent brands with the highest sales volume in China. Its pickup trucks and SUVs are selling well, and Haval H6 sells more than 30,000 vehicles a month, making it one of the best-selling models in China.

  In the eyes of many employees of Great Wall Motor, Lao Wei is a "technology fanatic", and he is especially persistent and serious about technology, which is one of the key factors for the success of Great Wall Motor in the field of fuel SUV and pickup truck. Lao Wei is also a racing driver and a car fan, and studying cars is his great hobby. Today, he often appears in front of employees and the outside world in overalls.

  In the documentary "The Road to Brand Power" launched by CCTV, Wei Jianjun once recalled the experience of building a car more than 30 years ago: "We lacked technology at that time and were always envious and even admired foreign capital (enterprises), so we always spared no effort in technology to break through."

  "In terms of investment in technology research and development, we have an unwritten slogan called’ excessive investment in research and development’. Excessive investment is not a waste, but a longer-term investment." Wei Jianjun said.

  Anyone who has had contact with Wei Jianjun knows that he is strict with his work. "Lao Wei’s requirements for product technology are strictly critical." A Great Wall Motor employee disclosed to Time Finance, "The technical department of Great Wall Motor has the most resources, but it is also the most stressful, and it is more common for (employees) to be scolded."

  Yang Lin (pseudonym), who worked in Great Wall Motor for 4 years, recalled that Wei Jianjun used to ask the relevant leaders of the brand to lead the main person in charge of the model to report to him regularly. "(Wei Jianjun) If he is not satisfied with his work, he will directly complain." The main person in charge of these models is often an old employee of Great Wall Motor who has been in office for more than 10 years.

  The management of Great Wall Motor is self-contained and strict. On many social platforms, many former employees of Great Wall Motor complained that Great Wall Motor needed to participate in military training, prohibit eating and wasting, queue up to go to work, and go to designated areas to answer calls.

  "Take eating as an example. When I am on the job, I will be fined for eating waste, and the section chief and minister in charge will be jointly punished." Yang Lin told Time Finance. Others need military training and other content, and Yang Lin also said that most of them are true.

  Time Finance verified the authenticity of the above-mentioned internal staff daily regulations with Great Wall Motor. No reply has been received as of press time.

  Wei Jianjun’s Great Wall Motor’s pursuit of technology and strict management coexist, which makes employees feel nervous and stressed, and also discourages some job seekers. However, in Yang Lin’s view, Great Wall Motor is still a good choice if you want to get tempered and improve your technical level.

  Be involved in the eye of public opinion storm

  The sudden departure of a number of middle and senior managers made Great Wall Motor and Wei Jianjun stand in the eye of public opinion storm.

  "I heard that the departure before the Spring Festival was too fast, and it was only two months." Tencent reported that Li Peng, the head of the sales and service center of Great Wall Motor, left the company suddenly, which surprised his colleagues.

  Also leaving before and after the Spring Festival was Qiao Xinyu, executive vice president of Harvard brand marketing, who worked for Great Wall Motor for more than 6 years. According to the above report, Qiao Xinyu officially resigned at the end of December last year and completed the resignation procedures in mid-January before the Spring Festival this year. Qiao Xinyu’s last Weibo about Great Wall Motor was released on December 19th, 2023.

  Time Finance also noticed that the deputy general-level employees who left at almost the same time as Li Peng Cheng and Qiao Xinyu, as well as Gu Huajun, the head of the user operation center of Great Wall Motor. Gu Huajun has worked for Great Wall Motor for many years, and has served as Director of Digital Marketing Department of Great Wall Motor, Senior Director of Wei Brand User Operation Department and Senior Director of User Operation of Great Wall Motor.

  After the above information was exposed, Great Wall Motor issued a statement to respond, but it did not deny the information about the resignation of relevant executives. Time Finance once again verified the resignation information of the above-mentioned senior executives with Great Wall Motor, but no reply was received as of press time.

  Despite this, the information from official channels can also reflect the changes of executives within Great Wall Motor.

  On November 3, last year, Li Ruifeng, CGO (Chief Growth Officer) of Great Wall Motor, announced the latest appointment in Weibo: Liu Yanzhao is also the general manager of Wei brand and tank brand, responsible for the overall management of Wei brand and tank brand; Zhao Yongpo will be the general manager of Haval brand, taking charge of the overall management of Haval brand; Gu Yukun, the commodity director of the former Tank 500, will serve as the executive deputy general manager of the tank brand.

  The hasty departure and frequent changes of executives can’t help but make the outside world suspicious. What’s wrong with Great Wall Motor? Why do talents leave one after another?

  Media reports pointed the reason to the internal anti-corruption of Great Wall Motor, saying that Wei Jianjun had great doubts about the marketing of vehicle business last year. At the same time, in November, 2023, Wei Jianjun at Wuzhen Internet Summit denounced employees as passive defenders in the face of public opinion, saying that they were "not even as good as a watchdog" and were questioned as dissatisfied with employees.

  The above reasons may have triggered a new round of organizational structure and personnel adjustment quietly and quickly at the end of the year.

  In fact, Great Wall Motor has already started organizational restructuring. In June, 2023, Feng Mu, President of Great Wall Motor, revealed at the shareholders’ meeting that Great Wall Motor has completed the global management mode, and the "541" management mode of five large and medium-sized companies-four brand organizations-one Great Wall Motor is being consolidated, and the talent echelon construction and incentive mechanism are also accelerating.

  According to media reports, at an internal meeting at the end of December last year, Feng Mu and Li Ruifeng announced the organizational structure adjustment plan of the large, medium and Taiwan departments in Great Wall Motor’s vehicle business unit, from which the former five large, medium and Taiwan units were changed into seven large, medium and Taiwan units, with the aim of optimizing and integrating resources, improving efficiency and avoiding power concentration.

  The organizational structure adjustment plan has undergone major changes after half a year, or it means the failure of the old plan of Great Wall Motor and the confusion of the status quo. Time Finance also asked Great Wall Motor for the change of the above organizational structure plan, but no reply was received as of press time.

  "For Great Wall Motor, technological changes such as batteries and interconnection are not the ultimate challenges. The biggest challenge is the changes in system, mechanism and culture." Wei Jianjun has publicly stated.

  In addition to the changes in organizational structure, it is difficult for latecomers to integrate, which may also be the reason why some senior executives left, as Li Peng showed.

  "There will be contradictions between’ Old Baoding’ and newcomers." Yang Lin said to Time Finance: "Older employees in Great Wall Motor may not agree with the newcomers’ ideas, and some old leaders will directly deny the newcomers’ plans."

  In addition, in Yang Lin’s view, there is still a phenomenon of "one word at a time" in the department. "Even if the leader’s idea is wrong, employees will be required to implement it." He said.

  Internal and external difficulties, Wei Jianjun came forward to stabilize the situation

  The internal organizational structure is unstable, and the external market environment of Great Wall Motor is not optimistic.

  Wei Jianjun once said that the squat in 2022 is to take off better in 2023. However, Great Wall Motor did not "jump" as expected in 2023.

  According to the performance report, the total operating income of Great Wall Motor in 2023 was 173.410 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 26.26%. However, the net profit is shrinking. In 2023, the net profit was 7.01 billion yuan, down 15.06% year-on-year. Great Wall Motor said that the decline in net profit was mainly due to the impact of exchange rate gains during the same period.

  For Great Wall Motor, 2023 is a challenging year: in 2023, Great Wall Motor sold 1.231 million vehicles at home and abroad, failing to meet the sales target of 1.6 million vehicles set at the beginning of the year. Compared with BYD, Chery and Geely, which are also the top four independent brands, Great Wall Motor’s sales in 2023 were at the bottom. In 2023, the sales of the first three vehicles were 3.02 million, 2.55 million and 1.88 million respectively.

  Great Wall Motor performed well in overseas markets in 2023. From 2021 to 2023, the overseas sales of Great Wall Motor were 143,000 vehicles, 173,000 vehicles and 316,000 vehicles, respectively, which increased substantially for many years. Its overseas market sales in 2023 also surpassed Geely, BYD, Changan and other car companies, and the overseas sales of the latter three companies in the same year were 274,000, 242,000 and 236,000 respectively.

  Great Wall Motor’s sales growth in the domestic market is limited. According to calculation, the domestic sales of Great Wall Motor from 2021 to 2023 were 1.138 million, 894,000 and 915,000, and its domestic sales in 2023 decreased by 223,000 compared with the peak period in 2021.

  When attending the 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in June last year, Feng Mu revealed that he would strive to achieve sales of 1.9 million vehicles and a net profit of 7.2 billion yuan. Great Wall Motor confirmed the accuracy of this goal to Time Finance at the beginning of this year. This means that Great Wall Motor plans to achieve a 54.5% year-on-year sales growth of about 670,000 vehicles this year.

  The attitude of the outside world to Great Wall Motor to achieve this goal is not optimistic. Debon Securities Research Report pointed out that in 2024, Great Wall Motor will still face multiple risks such as market price competition exceeding expectations, the company’s new energy transformation falling short of expectations, and the company’s new car sales falling short of expectations.

  According to the rating report published by Dahua Jixian quoted by Titanium Media, it believes that the sales target of 1.9 million vehicles in 2024 is "impossible to achieve". Based on this, the bank cut the net profit forecast of Great Wall Motor from 2023 to 2025 by 13%, 27% and 28% respectively, lowered the target price from HK$ 13.5 to HK$ 9, and downgraded its rating from "buy" to "hold".

  Wei Jianjun went to the front of the stage more often, and began to create momentum for new cars frequently-before and after the listing of 700 Hi-4T, a new Great Wall car, at the end of February, the tank brand released a video of Wei Jianjun personally "strictly reviewing" the new car, and Wei Jianjun praised the new car.

  A screenshot provided by the tank shows that Wei Jianjun said in the WeChat circle of friends that "Tank 700 has been experienced for more than two months, and it feels very good, surpassing the million-class luxury SUV in an all-round way. The work of the tank team and technical center is worthy of recognition, which definitely brings value to users. Enjoy."

  Wei Jianjun also attended the new car delivery ceremony and presented the new car keys to the car owners’ representatives. According to this, market participants believe that Wei Jianjun’s frequent appearances are intended to send a signal to the outside world: Great Wall Motor’s products and internal structure are constantly being optimized and tend to be stable, hoping to boost market and consumer confidence.

  As far as the most intuitive market sales are concerned, Great Wall Motor is still facing a severe test this year. In the first two months of this year, Great Wall Motor sold a total of 175,000 vehicles, achieving 9.2% of the annual sales target. In the next 10 months, Great Wall Motor needs to sell about 173,000 cars every month to achieve the annual sales target. It’s not easy.

Black ambulances robbed and injured their peers. There are still tourists next to the hospital where the case was filed.

  In order to "grab business" and attract customers, the infighting between "black ambulance" around the hospital not only hurts peers, but also affects patients’ families. Gao Jin, who is 33 years old, makes a living by introducing black ambulances to patients, and has long been active near ditan hospital, Cuigezhuang Township, Chaoyang District. On July 9, last year, in order to grab business, Gao Jin began to injure the driver and ambulance contractor of another black ambulance, and injured the patient’s family. Yesterday morning, the case was heard in Wenyuhe Court of Chaoyang Court, and Gao Jin was charged with the crime of seeking trouble.

  cause

  A "black ambulance" intermediary is suspected of being robbed and beaten.

  During yesterday’s trial, Gao Jin said that since 2009, he has been engaged in black ambulance-related industries in Beijing. In recent years, he advertised in the hospital and helped to contact the black ambulance when he saw that a patient’s family wanted to contact the ambulance for discharge. Gao Jin explained that he didn’t have an ambulance himself, and he played the role of "intermediary" in this industrial chain, that is, he contacted the black ambulance to pick up the patient and got a commission from it.

  During the trial, Gao Jin complained that it was the victims Wang Long and Fu Lingling who robbed him of his "business" and he started to hit people. He said that on the same day, the patient’s family contacted him to call an ambulance to go to Shandong. He took the job and informed the owner of the individual ambulance who cooperated with him. Then the owner sent the driver Gao Jun to drive the ambulance to ditan hospital.

  According to his memory, when the bus arrived, his family suddenly called him and said that he would not go to Shandong for the time being. In a short time, he found Wang lung’s ambulance driving into the parking lot in ditan hospital. Because he was robbed by Wang lung before, he remembered Wang lung’s license plate Later, Gao Jin came forward to communicate with Wang Long, but he said that Wang Long had hit him first, and then he returned his hand. Gao Jin also insisted that he was the only one who beat Wang lung and Fu Lingling at that time, and did not call others.

  It is understood that this is not the first time that Gao Progress has committed crimes due to "peer infighting". In June 2012, when he blackened the ambulance advertisement card at the entrance of the cancer hospital, he had a dispute with another group, and the two sides fought, so he was detained.

  The victim, Wang Long, said that he was the driver of a clinic in Baoding City, Hebei Province, driving a Hebei-licensed ambulance, which was contracted by Fu Lingling. After Fu Lingling found a patient who needed a vehicle, she would contact him to pick him up. Fu Lingling added that she bought the vehicle, but it was under the name of a clinic in Baoding. She usually used this black ambulance to earn money.

  On July 8 last year, Wang Long received a notice from Fu Lingling to go to ditan hospital to pick up patients and their families, and then to Heze, Shandong. At 11 o’clock on the evening of the 8th, his family contacted Wang Long, claiming that he was threatened by the "underworld". Some people asked his family to rent an ambulance from a specific person to return to Shandong. Wang Long said that he was a little scared at that time, but he still came to ditan hospital. At 1 am on the 9th, Wang Long drove to the parking lot in ditan hospital, where Fu Lingling and two patients’ families were also sitting. Wang Long said that just as he was about to drive into the parking lot, he was stopped by Gao Jin and seven or eight men he led, several of whom were holding sticks. Wang lung was immediately dragged out of the car and beaten, and Fu Lingling and a patient’s family were also injured.

  reveal a secret

  "Black ambulance" or dividing hospital sites for work

  The prosecution alleged that at about 1 am on July 9, 2016, in the south gate parking lot of ditan hospital, Cuigezhuang Township, Chaoyang District, Beijing, Gao Jin had a dispute with the driver Wang Long because of the black ambulance robbing, and Gao Jin later injured Wang Long and Fu Lingling, a woman in the car, together with others. After criminal science and technology appraisal, both victims were slightly injured. At the same time, the incident caused the vehicle driven by Wang Long to be damaged. After identification, the loss price was 2720 yuan.

  Yesterday morning, the case was heard in Wenyuhe Court in Chaoyang District. It is understood that Gao Jun, a black ambulance driver contacted by Gao Progressive, said that he helped the owner to open a black ambulance in Beijing. On the evening of the 8th, the owner asked him to go to ditan hospital, Chaoyang District to pull a patient back to Heze, Shandong Province. Gao Jun parked the black ambulance near the inpatient department that night and fell asleep while waiting for the patient. When I woke up at about 1 am on the 9th, I saw a group of people fighting around an ambulance. The beating party had made great progress in contacting the business in ditan hospital.

  Gao Jun said that ditan hospital’s work is given by Gao Progress. If other people go to the hospital to work at ordinary times, they must say hello to Gao Progress. If they don’t say hello, there will usually be disputes, because Gao Progress occupies ditan hospital and won’t let others work.

  It is understood that when working as an intermediary of "black ambulance" in ditan hospital, Gao Jin maintained a good relationship with hospital parking lot managers. The police found that Gao Jin often used WeChat to transfer money to the parking lot manager, but the manager explained that he had a general relationship with Gao Jin, and sometimes Gao Jin borrowed money from him, and then he would pay him back through WeChat.

  facts of a legal case

  Be charged with the crime of seeking trouble and causing trouble.

  On October 12, 2016, Tongzhou police arrested Gao Jin and brought him to justice. The next day, Gao Jin was criminally detained by Chaoyang police on suspicion of seeking trouble. The public prosecution agency believes that the defendant beat others at will with high progress, resulting in minor injuries and bad circumstances. His behavior has violated the relevant provisions of China’s Criminal Law, and the facts of the crime are clear and the evidence is indeed sufficient. He should be investigated for criminal responsibility for the crime of stirring up trouble.

  The two victims, Wang Long and Fu Lingling, also filed a criminal incidental civil lawsuit, and Fu Lingling claimed medical expenses, lost cash and other losses of more than 52,000 yuan. Wang Long claimed medical expenses, gold necklace loss and other expenses totaling about 40,000 yuan. Wang Long and Fu Lingling said that they did not recognize Gao Progress and were accused of making trouble. After the incident, a gold necklace of Wang Long disappeared, and more than 20,000 yuan that Fu Lingling put in the car disappeared. The two believe that Gao Progressive and others have robbed these properties. Gao Jin denied the accusation, saying that he did not take the property of the two victims. The public prosecution agency said that regarding the loss of property, there is only the testimony of the victim, and there is no other testimony and evidence to assist. Based on the principle of no doubt, Gao was not accused of robbery. The case was not pronounced in court. (The characters in the text are all pseudonyms)

  survey

  "Black ambulance" fights guerrilla warfare by telephone.

  Black ambulances charge 12 to 20 yuan per kilometer.

  Although the relevant departments have repeatedly cracked down on the phenomenon of black ambulances, yesterday, the Beijing Youth Daily reporter found that some black ambulances turned into the dark and continued to attract patients. Yesterday afternoon, the reporter of Beiqing Daily visited several hospitals as the family members of patients. At the first-aid station of Chaoyang Hospital, a man who claimed to be a staff member of 120 volunteered to tell the reporter of Beiqing Daily that he had ambulance resources. If an ambulance with a Beijing license was used to transport patients to other places, the price would be 20 yuan per kilometer.

  At the same time, he said that in addition to ambulances with Beijing licenses, ambulances with foreign licenses can also be booked. The man provided the reporter of Beiqing Daily with a phone number of "Doctor Zhang". He introduced that "Dr. Zhang" has many ambulances from other places, which can be "in Beijing ‘ Take private work ’ " . The man also told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that because these people who "take private jobs" don’t have a fixed position, they need an ambulance and can only contact by phone.

  Subsequently, the reporter of Beiqing Daily called "Dr. Zhang", who said that he was responsible for contacting ambulances in other places. According to him, compared with Beijing-licensed ambulances per kilometer in 20 yuan, ambulances with foreign licenses charge 12 yuan per kilometer. "Doctor Zhang" said that ambulances with foreign licenses have the same structure as those with Beijing licenses, and there are necessary rescue facilities on board. "Including ECG monitoring, ventilators, etc., supporting instruments and equipment are readily available. If there is an accident on the road, we will try our best to treat it, and we don’t have to worry about the traffic police on the road. "

  Black ambulance cards are still scattered in the hospital.

  Yesterday afternoon, in a 3A hospital near Dongsishitiao, a cleaning staff told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that in the past, black ambulance owners often solicited business in the hospital, mainly by issuing small cards, and even directly talking to family members in need in the inpatient building. "Now we have more people patrolling every day. When we meet small cards, we have to clean them up. If small cards can’t recruit people, it will be much less."

  However, the reporter of Beiqing Daily found that many small cards of black ambulances were still scattered in the hospital, but no one was seen distributing small cards on the spot. Among them, a small card printed with the words "Beijing Anda Escort Center" has an eye-catching ambulance picture printed on the front, with the contact person’s surname and contact number on it, while on the back of the card, various emergency equipment equipped with ambulances is marked, and the vehicle is introduced as "responsible for sending to all parts of the country".

  Claiming that first aid facilities are complete and there is no attendant.

  In addition to distributing small cards or taking jobs in hospitals, there are also many "black rescues" on the Internet. Yesterday afternoon, the reporter of Beiqing Daily contacted a black ambulance owner in the online mall. After establishing contact, the other party asked to "talk in detail on the phone".

  As a family member of the patient, the reporter of Beiqing Daily asked whether a patient could be sent to Heze, Shandong. According to the owner, if you use a fake ambulance transformed from an ordinary car, the cost will be 4,500 yuan. "This car is modified. In addition to the patient, it can also take five family members. The first aid facilities on it are complete. You only need to bring what the doctor ordered and a quilt." Regarding the question of whether the car is equipped with medical staff, the owner responded that he had "learned from the ambulance, and I will protect the trade union."

  The owner said that he can also provide regular ambulances for patients. "But the price is much more expensive, because a co-pilot and a caregiver must be equipped. It costs at least 6,000 yuan to go to Heze." The owner admits that both modified ambulances and regular ambulances are foreign licenses. "We don’t stop at a fixed place. If we need a car, we must make an appointment at least one day in advance."

Third-and fourth-tier cities are welcoming the "reverse" regulation of the property market, and at least seven cities have issued "price limit orders".

  While first-tier cities and hot-spot second-tier cities have increased the regulation of the property market, some third-and fourth-tier cities are welcoming "reverse" regulation, and "limit orders" have landed everywhere.

  According to the incomplete statistics of The Paper, at least 7 cities have restricted the price reduction behavior of housing enterprises by interviewing them or issuing policies. However, behind the price reduction behavior, the debt pressure is high and the slow return of funds is a reality that some housing enterprises have to face, and a house price defense war is being staged.

  At least seven cities issued a "limit order"

  According to The Paper’s incomplete statistics, up to now, seven cities including Zhuzhou, Jiangyin, Heze, Yueyang, Kunming, Shenyang and Tangshan have issued "price limit orders".

  The reason why it is called "limit order" is that some real estate enterprises or intermediaries have been interviewed or stopped by the government when they sell or represent new commercial housing at a lower sales price and significantly lower than the normal market price.

  Take Zhuzhou, Hunan Province as an example. On September 9th, some citizens and netizens reported that enterprises such as Jinbi Real Estate, Rongsheng Real Estate, Borui Real Estate, Xinsheng Wanbo, Shell Broker, etc. sold new commercial houses or sold them as agents at prices significantly lower than the normal market price, seriously disrupting the order of the real estate market. In this regard, Zhuzhou City Housing and Construction Bureau subsequently interviewed the person in charge of the above-mentioned enterprise project and included it in the bad credit record of the enterprise.

  Earlier, on August 31, the Notice on Further Promoting the Healthy and Stable Development of the Real Estate Market issued by the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau of Jiangyin City, Jiangsu Province clearly mentioned that after the sales price of commercial housing was put on record, the actual transaction price of commercial housing should not be higher than the record price. At the same time, it is strictly forbidden to dump at a low price (such as below the cost price, lowering the price in disguise, etc.) and resolutely put an end to vicious competition, lowering the standard and quality, overdue delivery and other illegal acts.

  Judging from the cities that have announced the "limit order" at present, the main suppression in various places is malicious price reduction, and the sales pricing of some housing enterprises is far below the market price, which is considered to seriously disrupt the market.

Cartography: The Paper

  Cartography: The Paper

  What is the price reduction sales of real estate enterprises?

  What are the reasons behind the price reduction of housing enterprises?

  The scale of sales has "turned from rising to falling", and the pressure on housing enterprises to withdraw funds has increased or one of the reasons.

  According to the data monitoring released by the National Bureau of Statistics, Tongce Research Institute showed that in July, the sales area of commercial housing nationwide was 115 million square meters, down 9.45% year-on-year and 40.6% quarter-on-quarter. This is also the first time in the past year that "from rising to falling", indicating that China’s real estate sales have entered a downward channel.

  From the perspective of development fund structure, the proportion of sales return to financing reached 57.15%, which was 3.9 percentage points higher than that in 2020, and the proportion of domestic loans to financing was 12.95%, which was 0.87 percentage points lower than that in 2020. This shows that the financing of housing enterprises mainly depends on sales return, and it is on the rise. In the future, the financing of housing enterprises mainly depends on "self-hematopoiesis". The growth of sales scale for the first time "from rising to falling" shows that the core source of funds for housing enterprises has begun to decline, and the pressure on housing enterprises to withdraw funds has increased.

  Sun Hongbin, Chairman of Sunac China’s Board of Directors, mentioned at this year’s interim results meeting that the market pressure in the second half of the year is relatively large, which mainly comes from two aspects. One is that some enterprises started to cut prices when they were under pressure, and the other is that the national policy is relatively firm, which made everyone expect that the house price would not rise. Now the economic pressure is relatively large, and everyone’s purchasing power has been affected.

  Sun Hongbin believes that the current market is particularly like 2018. "The whole credit market is short of funds. In the first half of the year, sales were relatively good, and loans were relatively difficult. However, loans in the second half of the year were still equally difficult, and the sales market fell sharply. The sales pressure in the second half of this year is very high, and it is expected that the market will still be fierce in the second half of this year. "

  The turn of the property market may also become an industry consensus. Guo Yingcheng, Chairman and Executive Director of Kaisa Group, said at the performance meeting that in recent years, especially this year, the regulation of the real estate market has been more precise and the implementation of policies has been faster than before. At the same time, however, we are also facing great challenges. After precise regulation and control, after the sale of the sales end, the withdrawal of mortgage funds may be slower than before, which also brings certain pressure to enterprises.

  In addition, debt pressure is also a "sword" hanging over some housing enterprises.

  According to the relevant data released by the same policy research institute, the debt due to housing enterprises reached 1.2 trillion this year, with an average monthly debt of over 100 billion. The average debt ratio of the real estate industry in the second quarter was 77.85%, which was 1.34 percentage points lower than that in the first quarter and 1.23 percentage points lower than that in 2020 when three red lines were proposed. This shows that the effect of regulation has begun to appear, and housing enterprises regard reducing debt and optimizing the three red lines as their primary strategies. At the same time, however, more stringent regulatory measures have also accelerated the exposure of some housing enterprises to their debt defects, and the cases of default of housing enterprises’ bonds are increasing.

  According to the statistics of RealData, since this year, the phenomenon of bond default in the real estate industry has increased significantly compared with the past two years. In just 6 months, there are 12 real estate enterprises that have defaulted.

  Song Hongwei, research director of Tongce Researcher, believes that in the first half of the year, when the real estate market sold well, it was easier for housing enterprises to withdraw funds to pay debts. However, since July, the whole industry has entered the downward channel, and it is difficult to withdraw funds, and the pressure of paying debts is prominent. For cash flow, selling at a reduced price and exchanging prices for quantity has become the choice of many housing enterprises.

  Facing the current market environment, Xu Shitan, the chairman of Shimao Group, mentioned at the interim results meeting that the policies of housing, no speculation, three red lines and concentration management will continue. Under such a policy background, it is no longer suitable for enterprises to emphasize high growth rate, so the company’s strategy is to "turn from attack to prevention" and at the same time increase the assessment of cash and repayment rate.

  Xu Shitan said that the company has taken some measures to resist the market downturn. The company analyzed the sales in July and August, and the sales of the whole industry declined. In September and October, the company arranged many supply and sprint targets. At present, there is still a gap in the mortgage amount. The company dynamically manages the price and promotes preferential measures for buyers with high down payment ratio. Not only that, Xu Shitan also revealed that the price will be dynamically managed in the second half of the year, and at the same time, preferential measures will be increased.

  Can the price be reduced?

  The decline in housing prices should have been a good thing in the eyes of many people. Why is there a "limit order"? China News Network appeared at the same time in the "Price Limit Order" and "Price Limit Order". What happened to the property market? As mentioned in the article, house prices are not "unable to fall", but "don’t fall blindly".

  In the view of Li Yujia, chief researcher of Guangdong Housing Policy Research Center, "three stabilities" are the targets of property market regulation, whether for the central government or for the local government. Ups and downs are not desirable, and may trigger market expectations fluctuations and further strengthen this ups and downs. In other words, if there is a significant decline, it may lead to further decline due to market expectations, forming a downward cycle. At this time, it is necessary to prevent the formation and circulation of this expectation through government intervention.

  The relevant staff of Yueyang Housing and Construction Bureau also said in response to the "Notice on the Transaction Price Limit of New Commercial Housing Online Sign in the Real Estate Market" that the debt pressure of leading housing enterprises is relatively high recently, and the price of real estate is maliciously reduced in order to withdraw funds, resulting in market confusion. This is the main reason for the introduction of the policy.

  A marketing person of a TOP40 real estate enterprise pointed out, "When there is a correction in the market, many developers will carry out certain price reduction promotions according to their own conditions. Of course, the market is still divided. There is not much inventory problem in first-tier and second-tier cities, but the third-and fourth-tier properties are relatively slow to be converted during the property market correction period, so it is normal that we will give some concessions to accelerate sales. The government is mainly cracking down on malicious price cuts, fearing that it is not conducive to market stability and will also trigger social events such as rights protection. "

  "The downward pressure on housing prices in some cities is indeed increasing. According to the data released by the Bureau of Statistics, in recent months, the number of cities with a downward trend in house prices has been increasing, and the pressure on housing enterprises to reduce debts has also been increasing, which has led to the phenomenon that housing enterprises in some cities or regions have accelerated the pace of shipment and reduced prices. However, once the price reduction behavior of housing enterprises triggers a price reduction tide, it will trigger a chain reaction, which will greatly affect the orderly development of the real estate market, and will also affect the land market and have a greater impact on the local economy. " Zhang Bo, dean of the branch of 58 Anjuke Real Estate Research Institute, said.

  So, is the "limit order" effective? In Li Yujia’s view, the property market is running at the highest level in history, and all parties have high demands for stability. Whether it’s a rapid rise or a rapid decline, whether it’s a whole city or a part of the city, it’s necessary to intervene appropriately, including not allowing large-scale price reduction marketing. This is the same logic as not allowing large-scale rise, and this intervention must be effective.

  Guo Zhen, a researcher in the real estate industry of GF Securities Development Research Center, told The Paper that the government does not want to see the situation that house prices have been falling after the real estate enterprises bid with each other, which will also make the market enter a relatively vicious state, so it has been the direction of regulation and control in recent years to maintain the stability of house prices without sharp rise or fall.

  Liang Nan, an analyst at Zhuge Housing Search Data Research Center, pointed out that from the perspective of cities that have issued "limit orders" at present, they are basically cities with high inventory and high pressure to remove chemicals. Perhaps some developers have drastically cut prices to speed up the sales repayment, which has led to market chaos to a certain extent, which is not conducive to the development of the property market. The introduction of the "limit order" policy can effectively curb the rapid decline in housing prices, avoid market chaos such as sharp price cuts, and further standardize the transaction behavior of the property market, which is conducive to promoting the healthy and stable development of the real estate market.

"AI play" will win? "Game Spring Festival Evening" is coming

The following article comes from science and technology innovation board Daily by Zheng Yuanfang.

Science and technology innovation board Daily.

Science and technology innovation board Daily is sponsored by the director of Shanghai Newspaper Group and produced by Cailian. Focusing on emerging industries and capital is an important public opinion frontier for science and technology innovation board, emerging industries and capital, covering a new generation of information technology, semiconductors, biomedicine, new energy, new materials, funds, etc., and providing product system services such as media, data, cities and investment banks.

The annual "Game Spring Festival Evening" is coming again. According to official website, Game Developers Conference 2024 will be held in San Francisco from March 18th to 22nd.

As the largest and most influential industry summit in the global game industry, this GDC takes "AI" as the key word, and Microsoft, Google, NVIDIA, Meta, Adobe, Epic, Unity, Roblox, Tencent, Netease and Pico will participate in related conference activities.

In addition to the 16 AI theme summits, game companies and AI technology and tool providers will also participate in the forum to show the latest progress of AI-enabled games.

Looking back at the GDC conference in 2023, AI has become the biggest key word. Microsoft, Ubisoft, Roblox, Tencent, etc. all shared AI’s innovations in game production/operation, including reducing costs and increasing efficiency, and creating new gameplay.

However, at that time, the application of AI in games was still at a relatively early stage, and most of them generated tools such as text, pictures and codes for AI, such as Tencent AI Lab’s self-developed 3D game scene automatic generation solution; Ubisoft AI tool Ghostwriter can automatically generate NPC scripts, write game stories and create task content. Unity realizes the transformation of text input into game asset creation through AIGC technology.

From the theme of this year’s GDC key conference, we can see that AI has penetrated into more links in the game field, and the results are quite remarkable. This year’s GDC conference will hold hundreds of conferences, covering AI, VR, AR, audio, vision, programming, narrative, product management and many other topics.

On the one hand, AI has penetrated into more production links, including improving the frame rate/clarity of the picture, reviewing the game content, training and teaching, etc. On the other hand, AI has also penetrated into more game categories, such as MMO, social interaction and fighting.

It is worth noting that the GTC conference in NVIDIA will be held together with GDC on March 18th, and games will also be one of the focus categories of this conference. NVIDIA official website shows that in the field of games, this GTC conference will explore how to create virtual characters and worlds with the help of generative AI and path tracking.

With the development of AI technology for a year, several AI tools that are expected to deeply empower games have been born recently.

For example, Sora, which caused a "huge earthquake" in the industry, pointed out that Sora showed many "interesting emerging functions" during large-scale training, including analog digital world.

In this function demonstration, OpenAI uses the game as an example: the researchers provide Sora with a prompt that includes "Minecraft" (My World game), and Sora can render HUD, high-fidelity rendering of the world and game dynamics that are very similar to My World game, and at the same time control the player’s role.

Figure | Screenshot of the demonstration video of |“Sora Edition My World

In addition, DUSt3R, an AI 3D tool that recently appeared on the trend list of GitHub platform, can generate 3D scene reconstruction from simple photos or change the original production process without any prior information of camera calibration or viewpoint posture.

Guotai Junan pointed out that 3D production is an important part of game production, especially for large-scale games such as the open world. Due to the high production threshold, it still needs more related costs such as modeling and art. If the rapid modeling technology like DUSt3R is mature, it is expected to significantly improve efficiency in this link, or it will increase the supply of high-quality games and large-scale games such as the open world.

"2024 will be the year of robot, the year of game AI and the year of simulation." Jim Fan, a senior research scientist in NVIDIA, judged this before.

Last year’s GDC conference has given a surprising answer to the "AI+ game". Let’s wait and see how it will perform this year.

What is the high black technology of folding screen? It’s not just a screen folding.

Looking back on the big events that happened in the scientific and technological field in the past week, Rouyu Technology released FlexPai, the world’s first folding tablet, and then Samsung publicly demonstrated its Infinity Flex Display technology folding mobile phone. For a time, "folding screen" has become a hot word in the science and technology circle. This article will give you a quick explanation: What kind of black technology is folding screen?

It is actually very difficult to explain the technical details of the folding screen very simply, because at present, the technologies and products of various companies have not officially landed, and more technical details about the folding screen still belong to the trade secrets of various companies. For ease of understanding, you can think of the folding screen as a flexible screen Plus. Because literally, Samsung’s "Infinity Flex Display" is "Infinite Flexible Display", which can be bent 360 degrees infinitely, thus realizing folding.

Technical principle of Samsung flexible screen

However, we can roughly understand the principle of folding screen. According to the principle of flexible screen technology announced by Samsung, all the screens we use have a substrate, and pixels are distributed on this substrate to form a display screen. Traditional screens are hard, while flexible screens and folding screens "soften" the substrate through new materials, and can even be folded. Of course, the research and development direction of each family is not the same. It is reported that Apple’s folding screen patent is realized through micro hinges.

The appearance of folding screen makes people shine and stimulates people’s imagination. However, for products with extremely narrow internal space, such as mobile phones and tablets, screen folding can be described as "pulling one hair and moving the whole body", and not only the screen can be folded, everything will be fine. Space, battery, sealing, durability, even UI interface and software adaptation, almost everything you can think of will face great challenges, so the folding screen mobile phone is still in the conceptual stage.

First of all, the most direct problem is the volume. The picture above shows the FlexPai folding tablet released by China enterprise Rouyu Technology. It is reported that the thickness after folding has reached 15mm, which means that portability is worrying. According to the official information released by Rouyu, the second generation product of Zen Wing flexible screen independently developed by FlexPai has been folded for 200,000 times. This number seems large, but if you fold it 300 times a day, you will stop eating in less than two years … …

Since the official dare to officially release it, I believe it has certain commercial value, but whether the actual experience effect is good or not is another topic. As shown in the above figure, we can see that there is a whitening "crease" at the folding place, and the flatness will greatly affect the impression. It seems that the folding screen still has a long way to go. However, Rouyu Technology beat Samsung to release a folding screen product, which is indeed a milestone. This is the first product released in the world with a folding screen.

Even if we cross the physical barriers at the hardware level, the software level has to go through a lot of challenges. As we all know, Android is an extremely open platform, so adaptation and compatibility have become a headache for developers. In the era of phablet, adaptation and compatibility were not perfect, not to mention the future "deformed" mobile phone. Even if these problems are solved, there are still things that users’ habits need to change and can be seen directly. Why fold them?

Huawei folding screen concept mobile phone needs revolutionary notebook?

The folding screen is actually far from simple as we think, but it is not complicated. Straight mobile phones have been used for so many years, not to mention users. Even mobile phone manufacturers have begun to feel "aesthetic fatigue", so they try their best to make the screen "baiwan". The appearance of folding screen has indeed opened up our phenomenon space, and Huawei’s folding screen concept machine has painted a beautiful vision for us. Perhaps with the support of folding screen technology, mobile phones, tablets and computers will be unified in the world.

In the past, the popularity of flip phones was rooted in the era when voice communication was the mainstay. It was reasonable to answer the phone by flip, and it felt quite cool. The emergence of folding screen smart terminals not only challenged the limits of physics and technology, but also challenged the user’s usage habits. Simply folding for the sake of folding, it is obviously difficult for users to pay the bill by creating "freshness", and manufacturers need to explore reasonable application logic.

Before solving how to realize folding screen, we should first understand why we need folding screen!

Great crisis! Four days before the release, ipartment was sued.


Special feature of 1905 film network A friend left a message in WeChat official account, indicating that she was more inclined to choose in the same period.


Today, there are still four days before the big movie "ipartment" will be released this Friday (August 10th), but everything doesn’t seem to be so smooth.

 

At noon, Weibo, the official of ipartment TV series, who has not spoken for a long time, suddenly posted a blog, announcing with a piece of Copyright Certificate that he would file a civil lawsuit against people related to the film, and made a request to the Film Bureau and China Film, hoping to stop the film’s release.

In the Copyright Certificate, it is clearly stated that "Lianfan Computer Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. is the funder and sole authorized person of the play. The domestic and international distribution and economic benefits of the play are handled and enjoyed by Lianfan Computer Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.."


In the column of references, Wang Tianyun’s signature of Shanghai Film Group Co., Ltd. is very eye-catching.

 

However, the film "ipartment" official micro soon released relevant certificates to "counterattack" and said in a statement issued, "In view of the fact that a company in Weibo today claims to’ invest in and enjoy all the rights of ipartment’, Shanghai Gog Film and Television Production Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as’ Gog’) hereby declares as follows: The film’ ipartment’ was produced by Gog based on the original script of Mr. Wang Yuan, the screenwriter of the TV series’ ipartment’, and Gog legally owns the complete copyright of the film’ ipartment’ and has obtained all necessary laws in advance. Gog reserves the right to sue and even hold accountable for malicious slander and harassment of ipartment’s copyright and intellectual property rights."

 

Within a few hours after the incident, the media contacted Mr. Li, the relevant person in charge of Lianfan Company, for the first time. Mr. Li said that the news of Lianfan, a Taiwan Province company with its headquarters, was relatively lagging behind. The movie version of "ipartment" didn’t have a title at first, but only related creative information. (According to Xiao Dianjun, as early as the beginning of the year, the film was named "Finally, I am back to do things again". )



After we got to know each other, we began to collect these companies and sent them lawyer letters one after another, including that we also applied to the China Film and Film Bureau for an injunction. The whole process also takes some time. It was not until last Friday that we sent all these materials. China Film just sent it out today. Only then can we take all the evidence and send them to the media."

Sina Entertainment’s first interview content


Mr. Li also said that the biggest reason for the collapse of Lianfan Company and screenwriter Wang Yuan in the later period was too much plagiarism. According to Mr. Li, Lianfan Company once questioned Wang Yuan, but Wang Yuan’s response at that time was "to pay tribute to foreign movies and TV series".

 

In fact, when searching for "ipartment’s plagiarism" on Baidu, there were 2.5 million pieces of information. Even when the drama version of "ipartment" was popular, many media compared it with American TV series frame by frame. Therefore, it is unknown what will happen to the movie version of ipartment.

The movie version of ipartment has only released a 30-second preview since it started its publicity in June. However, in this 30-second preview, there is hardly any substance. The other three special features are completely centered on "Ten Years of Feelings".


There are only 4 video materials so far.


But is this "ten years of feelings" really effective? Perhaps it is still a question.


Looking back on the four seasons of ipartment, several leading actors are still impressive, and Chen He still bears the logo of "A good man is me, and I am Ceng Xiaoxian".

However, in this film version of ipartment, Eric Wang, the actor of Sekitani Kamiki, and Jin Shijia, the actor of Lu Zhanbo, are both absent.

 

This absence is no accident.

Earlier, Eric Wang said in an interview that he would not appear in the film version. Even when a fan on Weibo asked, "How can you shoot Love 5 like this?" He replied directly, "It’s none of my business."


Later, he simply shut down Weibo’s comments and avoided these strange "interactions".

A while ago, in an interview with the media, I talked about this topic again. He directly said, "For me, filming ipartment is just an experience, and it’s not that important. Everyone thinks that the filming of ipartment 4 should be over. Because we can’t cooperate anymore, don’t you think it looks more and more like an advertisement, regardless of copying? It’s all advertising. Why make a movie?"

 

However, at that time, the director of ipartment was still supporting Eric Wang’s new work in Weibo and said "Chuanjun is a rare good actor.",suspected to respond to Eric Wang’s diss.


There are still four days before the film is released. Apart from the early plagiarism, it is now caught in a copyright storm.

So, will you still go to the cinema to support this film of "Ten Years of Feelings"?

The English version of Jin Yong’s martial arts novels published "Jianghu" is difficult to expand in the West.

  China Overseas Chinese Network November 26th According to the American World Journal, in 1957, Cha Liangyong’s martial arts novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes was first published in Hong Kong, and soon became one of the most popular Chinese martial arts novels. In the past 60 years, this book has been adapted into dozens of TV plays and movies. Last year, British Maclehose Press translated Legends of the Condor Heroes into English, and the first volume "A Hero Born" was published on February 22 this year, and the other 11 volumes will be published one after another. This is the fourth novel by Jin Yong that has been translated into English.

  Dr Chris Hamm, an associate professor in the Department of Asian Languages and Literature at the University of Washington, is an American authority on Jin Yong. In an interview, he said that he had not read the English version of Jin Yong’s work and could not comment on its success. "But all in all, I think it is very difficult to translate Jin Yong’s novels into English." Interested readers will certainly welcome the English version, but the English version of Jin Yong’s books is unlikely to achieve the same success as it did in the Chinese-speaking world.

  Fame is limited to Chinese.

  According to statistics, Jin Yong’s 15 novels have sold more than 100 million copies worldwide, not including a considerable amount of piracy. Jin Yong has become one of the best-selling writers in the world and enjoys a high reputation in the Chinese-speaking world. However, the western world has hardly heard of his name.

  Before this English version, only three novels of Jin Yong were translated into English, including Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain translated by Olivia Mok, The Duke Of Mount Deer translated by John Minford, and The Book and the Sward translated by Graham Earnshaw. Moreover, these English versions are published by British publishing houses and Hong Kong English publishing houses, without the participation of American publishing houses.

  Han Yisong said that Jin Yong’s novels are rarely translated into English, mainly for two reasons. The first is the translation itself. Jin Yong’s novels are not more difficult to understand than other China novels, so they are not "difficult to translate" in this sense. However, most of the pleasure of Chinese readers lies in Jin Yong’s mastery of Chinese. Jin Yong created a modern style, borrowed the language of China’s traditional novels, and his use of Jianghu terms involved China literature and culture. "It is very difficult, if not impossible, to reproduce his language and his style with English translation."

  The second reason is the content. Jin Yong’s novels provide readers with fascinating storylines and vivid characters. However, the plots of his novels usually involve the historical stories of China, and his characters are related to the themes and moral issues of China society. His novels make China readers feel rich in content, and will also attract English readers who are interested in the culture of China and China. However, ordinary English readers will feel "strange" about this.

  He pointed out that people sometimes compare Jin Yong’s novels with Harry Potter series or Tolkien’s fantasy novels. This is appropriate in some ways. But he felt that, to some extent, China’s martial arts novels were more comparable to the cultural role of the United States in the 20th century. These two types are centered on the imaginary version of history, which is very important as a kind of cultural identity.

  Westward reaction bipolar

  Publishers sell the English version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes to western readers as a Chinese version of Game of Thrones. From the comments left by readers, we can see the polarized views of English readers on the book.

  On June 5, 2018, commentator nekozuki Chris gave a rating of up to 5 stars. He said, "after 15 years of waiting, I am not disappointed." He said that about 15 years ago, my sister and he found the anime "Legend of the Condor Heroes". We like this story very much and really want to see it. I have seen the same story in China’s play. When I saw the novel published in English, I bought it at once.

  He said, I feel very happy. Writing is really great. Rich vocabulary and interesting stories. I only read half of it, but I like it. In the south of China, the two Song patriots, Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin, experienced many changes. We even met Ghengis Khan in the story. I really look forward to all the novels being translated. "I hope I can read this great series."

  On June 5, 2018, the commenter Ezequiel Davidovich Caballero said, "I want everything about martial arts." My only complaints about this version are the following two: First, they translated some names but not all. I would prefer to use the original name with footnotes to explain things like Huang Rong. Names like Hector Sha are meaningless. Why westernize the name? I want to talk to the translator about it. I repeat, I like this book. I just hope they don’t spend a year publishing a book, or I will be too old when I finish reading 12 books.

  On June 24, 2018, reader Michael D. Teret left a message calling this book a "precious gift". The reader said that only a few Jin Yong’s works are available in English. This new translation is a precious gift for western readers. "I earnestly hope that the sequel will come soon!"

  However, some people are dissatisfied with this English translation. On August 18, 2018, the reader who signed Modern Viking only gave the book one star. I’m really looking forward to reading this book and I love China culture and history,’ he said. But I must admit, on page 80, I can’t keep any interest at all. There is no lack of action here, but the content changes so suddenly that the first 80 pages are like children’s comments on kung fu movies. "From other comments, I’m not the only one who thinks so."

  In his comments, he said that translation retains a lot of China flavor, which may be good of course, but at the cost of losing English idioms that are easier to read. He said, I find it hard to believe that the Chinese text is richer and more detailed to some extent. I must scold the publishers for comparing Jin Yong with Tolkien, just like comparing Jin Yong’s books with Shakespeare’s.

  Iron powder: difficult to translate

  On March 1, 2018, just a few days after the first volume of the English translation of Legend of the Condor Heroes was published, a Chinese reader under the pen name P Kimel commented that when I first heard that the English version of this book was published, I was shocked. I never check whether there are English versions, because I have read them in Chinese at least a dozen times. I am glad that this classic can finally be conveyed to western readers. The original book was written more than 50 years ago, and the English version is too late.

  Like J.R.R. Tolkien or J.K. Rowling, Jin Yong is a master of building an otherworldly world full of fascinating plots and characters.

  He said that the highest score of the review was 5, but I took a star because of the translation. I sympathize with the translator, because many concepts of Jin Yong’s world belong to China people. For example, "nine yin skeleton claw" doesn’t sound as scary as China’s original, and the translator has done admirable and high-quality work.

  Translator: Cultural differences

  Feng Yu, director of the Edison public library in New Jersey, translated seven or eight English novels in addition to his own job. As an English translator, she thinks that Jin Yong’s novels are difficult to translate, because Jin Yong’s novels depend on "the meaning between the lines", such as martial arts cheats, which English readers may not understand because of the differences between eastern and western cultures.

  She believes that Jin Yong’s martial arts novels are like fantasy novel in the English world. If you can translate Jin Yong’s novels into English, you’d better have a sense of pictures, just like Jackie Chan’s martial arts movies and Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. However, there are many cultural and historical contents in Jin Yong’s novels, which are difficult to translate and difficult for foreign language readers to understand.

  Writer Zhang Zongzi said that readers in western countries don’t know much about China culture, while China knows a lot about the west. There are too many elements of China culture in Jin Yong’s martial arts novels, which will be eclipsed by translation. In Jin Yong’s novels, Zhang Sanfeng taught Zhang Wuji to practice boxing, thinking that the more you forget, the better. Westerners will think this is "nonsense". How is that possible? However, as Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese belong to the Han cultural circle, they have a better understanding of China culture.

  In modern times, the western classics translated by China are incomparable in depth and breadth to the Chinese classics translated by the west. For example, he said, Shakespeare’s works were translated and published in many versions in China, but the works of great writers in China were not translated in the west. There is still a long way to go for China’s literary works to go to the world. (Han Jie)

Hohhot: Adhering to Scientific and Technological Innovation and Leading to Create New Quality Productivity

In Hohhot, a wave of dairy revolution is on the rise.

Yili Modern Wisdom and Health Valley has not only built a smart benchmarking base with the largest single scale and the highest degree of intelligence in the world, but also built a national-level technology center cluster with the only national dairy technology innovation center in China, marking the full release of the benefits of the 100 billion-level industrial cluster.

From the completion of the world’s largest production base of foot-and-mouth disease vaccine, coenzyme Q10 and high-efficiency chlortetracycline, to the completion and commissioning of Yuanjing Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park, Huayao Optoelectronics 12GW single crystal silicon wafer and Xinhuan 100,000 tons of granular silicon, to the integration of Jiutai’s 300,000 tons of chain extension and chain replenishment, and the upgrading of PetroChina Hohhot Petrochemical Polyformaldehyde, the projects are progressing smoothly. The landing of major scientific and technological projects highlights the hard power of the "capital" to support and lead the high-quality economic development with science and technology. Among the 288 prefecture-level and above cities in China, Hohhot ranks 30th in the index of scientific and technological innovation and development, leading the whole region strongly.

Stretch the board and make up the short board. In 2023, based on the advantages of location, resources and industry, Hohhot will make precise efforts and comprehensive layout, continue to promote chain extension and chain repair to expand industrial clusters, open up new areas and new tracks for development with scientific and technological innovation, and constantly shape and develop new kinetic energy and new advantages, and the cause of scientific and technological innovation will take a new step.

Five-chain convergence Stimulate the fusion effect of innovation

"Our research team broke through the key technical bottleneck of alfalfa and created a new alfalfa variety with low residue resistance and glyphosate tolerance for the first time, which injected new vitality into the development of grass industry in China." In the technological innovation of national grass industry? Yuan Feng, deputy general manager (in preparation), said that the center has formed a strong innovation fusion effect by integrating resources from all sides and bringing together top scientific research teams from 47 domestic grass fields to participate in the construction. This effect not only promotes the rapid progress of technology, but also promotes the upgrading and development of related industries.

Technological innovation, platform first. In recent years, the governments of the autonomous region and Hohhot have increased the layout of major innovation platforms and provided "real money and silver" to support leading enterprises to establish national dairy technology innovation centers and national grass technology innovation centers. At present, the National Dairy Technology Innovation Center has implemented national key R&D projects for the first time and achieved 98 technical achievements. The National Grass Technology Innovation Center has developed 6 new varieties and 6 breakthrough technological achievements.

Innovation platform is a "strong magnetic field" that gathers innovation elements. In 2023, Hohhot took "Mengkeju" as the cornerstone of innovation system construction, actively built the general window of the platform, formulated a series of policies to support innovation, and continued to guide enterprises to increase R&D investment, establish R&D institutions, enhance their innovation ability and create a good innovation ecology. Through the linkage of government, industry, learning, research, finance, service and use, etc., we have successfully brought together various elements, and actively cultivated the technology transfer system serving the whole region, realizing the normal docking, which has provided strong support for the cultivation and service of the technology transfer system in the whole region.

Up to now, a total of 3,992 institutes, enterprises and 1,070 technical brokers in the whole region have settled in the "One Network" of Kechuang, which has led to an increase of 45.3% in technology contract registration and 17.6% in technology transaction volume.

Hohhot has always adhered to high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and innovative layout. In 2023, the city added 24 autonomous region-level technology transfer carriers, with a total of 44; 974 technical brokers were trained, with the total number exceeding 1000; There are 32 leading enterprises in science and technology, 533 high-tech enterprises, 649 small and medium-sized enterprises in science and technology, 17 expert workstations for academicians and 319 enterprise R&D centers. Among the 476 investment projects in the city, 82% are high-tech projects, forming a "three-in-one" model of "introducing an enterprise, establishing an R&D center at the same time and cultivating an innovative team" to promote scientists and entrepreneurs to join hands.

"With the in-depth implementation of the’ five-chain convergence’, Hohhot has given full play to the convergence effect of various innovative elements and formed a strong innovation synergy." Li Kongyan, Party Secretary and Director of the Science and Technology Bureau of Hohhot, said that last year, Hohhot seized the opportunity of building the "Mengkeju" innovation-driven platform, made every effort to build the general window, constantly improved the innovation system, and promoted the convergence and integration of innovation chain, industrial chain, talent chain, capital chain and information chain to create a regional innovation growth pole.

Four mechanisms Improve the ability of science and technology service

With the wide application of digital technology, agricultural production is undergoing profound changes. Since its establishment in 2019, Inner Mongolia Jianyun Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Jianyun Technology") has become a leader in digital technological innovation in potato field with its profound technical foundation and accurate insight into potato industry.

"At present, we have obtained more than 600 million pieces of potato data. Using AI-related data application technology and self-developed potato life cycle decision-making model, we can save water by over 30%, save fertilizer by over 20% and increase yield by 31.5%, providing scientific and technological support for the sustainable development of potato industry." Li Wei, deputy general manager of Jianyun Technology, said that Jianyun Technology has made great progress in Beijing Jingmeng Hi-Tech (Mengkeju Beijing Branch) for two years. Last year, we landed in the Science and Technology Center of Hohhot through the "Mengkeju" platform, and focused on cultivating it as a backup listed company.

Incubator is an indispensable "accelerator" connecting technology, capital and market. In order to solve the problems of slow incubation and difficult landing of enterprises and projects, Hohhot has built a "three-dimensional linkage" incubation mechanism. Relying on the R&D area of the Science and Technology City in the north, the incubation area of the Science and Technology Innovation Center in the middle and the industrialization demonstration area in Helinger in the south, the whole incubation system from Zhongchuang space to industrial park has been established. At the same time, three listed companies, including Jianyun Technology, were introduced from Beijing, forming a linkage incubation model between Beijing and Hohhot.

Incubation carrier, as the meeting point of innovation elements, is playing the role of bridge and link. At present, the total number of incubation carriers in Hohhot has reached 70, and the number of incubating enterprises and project teams has exceeded 1,000.

Innovation cooperation between universities and local governments is to achieve mutual benefit and win-win between universities and local economies, and to promote the sustained and healthy development of regional economy. In 2023, the government of Hohhot cooperated with universities and enterprises to set up a political-school-enterprise innovation alliance, making full use of the advantages of innovative resources such as high-quality universities and enterprises in the city, establishing a transformation mechanism of "judging by performance" and promoting the transformation of 25 new technological achievements. It is estimated that the annual economic benefits will increase by 100 million yuan. Through activities such as "Mongolian Science and Technology Gathering" collaborative roadshow, the scientific and technological achievements of colleges and universities can be directly applied to enterprise production, realizing the deep integration of science and technology and industry.

Science and technology improve the speed, and innovation highlights the height. In 2023, Hohhot upgraded its science and technology services in an all-round way. By establishing a "public welfare+market" service mechanism, implementing a "performance instead of evaluation" transformation model, creating a "three-dimensional linkage" incubation system and promoting the deep integration of "science and technology+finance", it effectively solved the problems of imperfect science and technology service system, difficulty in transforming achievements of universities, difficulty in incubating projects and difficulty in financing technology-based enterprises, and injected new momentum into urban science and technology innovation and industrial upgrading.

The strength of opening up, the intensity of reform and the momentum of development have not diminished. Scientific and technological innovation has helped Hohhot to run out of "acceleration", achieve "display" and enhance "activity".

Computational power release Develop new quality productive forces

In the Helinger New District, the two characters of "Cloud Valley" stand out impressively, and together with many surrounding data center buildings, they outline a spectacular technological picture.

Walking into the refrigeration station of China Mobile Hohhot Intelligent Computing Center, the cooling system in the spacious workshop runs at high speed, and the hum of the machine is mixed with reverberation, which provides a cold source for the normal operation of IT equipment in the intelligent computing center.

"Through advanced energy-saving and carbon-reducing technologies such as liquid cooling, the center has comprehensively reduced the energy consumption of the intelligent computing center and achieved green development." Zheng Zhijun, the project manager of China Mobile Hohhot Intelligent Computing Center, said that the development of intelligent computing center has been upgraded from traditional hardware and software to "intelligent software", so that users do not need to pay attention to the underlying computing chips and technical details, and realize the development mode with low code or even no code, with data and results.

In the wave of scientific and technological innovation, Hohhot is facing unprecedented development opportunities and challenges. In 2023, the cluster effect of electronic information technology industry in Hohhot was fully released, Huawei Cloud and Ringer Data Center, the largest computing hub project in the north of Huawei, were successfully settled, the northern production base of hyper-fusion servers was completed and put into operation, the main projects of data centers such as Bank of China and Agricultural Bank of China were completed, and projects such as China Mobile Intelligent Computing Center and Parallel Science and Technology Computing Base were fully started, with an installed capacity of 1.5 million servers. The scale of general computing power reaches 1000P, the scale of intelligent computing power reaches 400P, and the scale of super computing power reaches 200P p. The scale of data storage and computing power ranks among the top in China. At the same time, the city has introduced a total of 300 innovative enterprises and 600 innovative talents, and successfully entered the list of "Top 20 Computing Cities in China", ranking 15th.

This year, Hohhot will fully promote the electronic information technology industry cluster, and plan to implement as many as 49 key projects to accelerate the development of new quality productivity. "With the steady progress and successful landing of key projects, Hohhot is expected to make greater breakthroughs and achievements in six major industrial clusters such as electronic information technology and biomedicine, and inject momentum into the development of new quality productivity." Li Kongyan, Party Secretary and Director of Hohhot Science and Technology Bureau, said that Hohhot will closely follow the "six major industries" and future industrial development needs, focus on building a regional science and technology innovation center, create a national independent innovation demonstration zone in Hubao, and continue to build the "Mengkeju" innovation-driven platform and five major industrial science and technology innovation centers, focusing on five major scientific and technological innovation special actions, enabling the "six major industrial clusters" to develop with high quality, leading the construction of modern industrial system with scientific and technological innovation, and cultivating industries.
