上海花千坊会所

　　[Global Times reporter Ni Hao Global Times correspondent Xin Bin Zhao Dong in Singapore and Germany] According to the data released by the Ministry of Commerce of China on the 12th, in the first four months of this year, the actually used foreign capital in China was 478.61 billion yuan, up 20.5% year-on-year. From the source, South Korean, American and German investments in China increased significantly year-on-year, and their actual investments in China increased by 76.3%, 53.2% and 80.4% respectively. This data can be described as a powerful response to the recent comments made by some western media that China’s economy is declining and China’s investment attraction is declining. Many experts said in an interview with Global Times that "the withdrawal of foreign capital from China" has become a normal topic of foreign media speculation. Now the COVID-19 epidemic has indeed brought challenges to the global economy, including China, and the global industrial chain supply chain. However, foreign capital has never given up the China market. As long as foreign capital in China walks through this hurdle together with Chinese and China markets, it will be a bright future, and the foreign investment environment will be better and better.

　　On average, 1.5 large foreign-funded projects land every day.

　　Shu Yuting, spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce, said at a regular press conference on the 12th that since the beginning of this year, China’s absorption of foreign capital has mainly shown three characteristics: First, it has grown rapidly. In the first four months of last year, the actual use of foreign capital in China increased by 38.6% year-on-year. On the basis of last year’s high base, it achieved double-digit growth in the first four months of this year, with a growth rate of 20.5%; Second, the gold content is sufficient, and high-tech industries have played a greater role in attracting investment, with a year-on-year increase of 45.6% from January to April, which is 25.1 percentage points higher than the average growth rate; Third, large projects are stable, and all localities strive to overcome the impact of the epidemic and actively carry out investment promotion. In the first four months of this year, China added 185 large-scale projects with contracted foreign investment of more than 100 million US dollars, which is equivalent to an average of 1.5 large-scale foreign-funded projects landing every day. German Volkswagen, South Korea’s Pohang, American market opener, Japan’s Hitachi and other multinational companies have received good investment in China, which has effectively promoted the rapid growth of China’s foreign investment.

　　L ‘Oré al, the world’s largest cosmetics group, recently announced the establishment of its first investment company in China — — Shanghai meicifang investment co., ltd. L ‘Oré al said that L ‘Oré al China is the only branch of L ‘Oré al Group with an investment company so far. In spite of the epidemic situation, multinational companies still choose Shanghai and expand their investment in China. In this regard, Shu Yiting said that this fully reflects the firm confidence of foreign investors in the economic development prospects of China.

　　Huo Jianguo, vice president of the China World Trade Organization Research Association, told the Global Times reporter on the 12th that since the outbreak, global cross-border investment has fluctuated greatly, but China has maintained steady growth in attracting foreign investment. In 2021, China’s foreign investment reached a record high, exceeding 1 trillion yuan for the first time, reaching 1.15 trillion yuan. He believes that China has the most complete industrial chain supply chain in the world, as well as a global super-large-scale consumer market, abundant human resources and the introduction of policies to optimize the business environment, so that foreign investors have always maintained their confidence in China and regarded China as a hot spot for investment.

　　Multiple foreign companies have increased their investment.

　　"This is how much German companies depend on China," the German newspaper Sü ddeutsche Zeitung reported recently. Because of the epidemic situation and geopolitical factors, some companies are looking for alternatives to do business in China. However, the China market is too important for German enterprises, especially the automobile industry. For example, in the first quarter of 2022, Mercedes-Benz still delivered more than 192,000 new cars to customers in China, despite adverse factors such as COVID-19 epidemic and global supply chain shortage. China is the "perfect market" for luxury cars and electric cars.

　　"Abandoning the China market will have a very negative impact," Marcus Kamis, a member of the board of directors of BASF, a German chemical giant, said at the shareholders’ meeting recently that many German activities around the world are closely related to China. BASF has invested 10 billion dollars to build an integrated base in Zhanjiang, Guangdong. In August last year, BASF established a battery material joint venture with China Shanshan Co., Ltd., and BASF held 51% of the shares. BASF predicts that by 2030, the share of China’s business in the world market will increase to over 50%.

　　In January this year, a report released by the German Chamber of Commerce in China and KPMG showed that German enterprises in China are full of confidence in the next year: in 2021, nearly 60% of German enterprises in China will achieve business growth, and more than half of them expect their industries to have better development in Huaneng in 2022. China market is still one of the most important markets for German enterprises in the world. 71% of the enterprises surveyed will continue to increase their investment, and only 4% intend to leave the China market.

　　In addition, other foreign-funded enterprises have also heard news of overweight investment. uob (China) Co., Ltd. recently announced that it has landed in Shanghai Lingang New Area, becoming the first foreign-funded bank to land here; On April 28th, Merck, a German company, announced that it would invest about 100 million euros to accelerate the manufacturing of biopharmaceutical disposable technology products in Wuxi. BMW’s factory in Shenyang Dadong District is being fully expanded, and a brand-new factory in Tiexi District is also under construction. It is planned to open this year … …

　　Give "reassurance" to investment in China

　　A recent article in German Business Daily mentioned that more and more foreigners are leaving China because of China’s strict epidemic prevention measures. Zimmermann, head of German SEB Group Shanghai Branch, said that when the epidemic eased, many people would return to China. According to Business Daily, compared with other growth markets, the China market is highly predictable and stable. It is unlikely that foreign companies will leave China in droves.

　　Bai Ming, deputy director of the International Market Research Department of the Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, told the Global Times reporter that China will open wider and wider, and the foreign investment environment will be better and better, not just on slogans. China’s commitment to attracting foreign investment is being implemented in a down-to-earth manner. China promulgated and implemented a series of laws and regulations such as the Foreign Investment Law, which fundamentally guaranteed the interests of foreign investors and gave them a "reassurance" to invest in China.

　　Huo Jianguo also said that an important reason for foreign investment in China is the certainty of income. The survey shows that the investment income of foreign investors in China in China has increased steadily, and many foreign chambers of commerce have recently expressed their confidence in China’s investment.

The variety show "Let’s Go Now" finally started, with the participation of Jerry, Gina, Zhou Ye, Adam, Bai Jingting, Shen Teng and Jia Bing, who plays the villain in The Knockout. The program is only 77 minutes in total, but it is forced to split into two parts and broadcast in two days, which makes many viewers who like to watch this program feel very dissatisfied.

Shen Teng’s joke in the program "Let’s Go Now" is somewhat reluctant, and it is not as natural and vivid as before. Not only that, Shen Teng abruptly inserted an advertisement shortly after the broadcast of the program, and his design of this link was extremely inadequate, which made people feel at a loss. In this way, he eats ugly and makes the audience feel less interesting. To this end, Shen Teng suffered a bad review from the audience.

Some netizens said: "Let’s Go Now" is so ugly … I have no desire to see it at all. I wonder how it got so ugly.

Some netizens bluntly said: boring and embarrassing/ugly, there is a feeling of being cheated, and the first issue is too boring.

Stars are famous, topics have high commercial value, and there are naturally more products to endorse. If the stars insert advertisements in the program at any time, some of them are too hard, which makes people feel too deliberate.

As we all know, Shen Teng is a comedian. Essentially, he can bring a lot of joy to the audience. In 2012, Shen Teng appeared in a performance sketch in the Spring Festival Evening, which brought his humor into full play and made him gain a wave of attention and fans.

One thing is that Shen Teng and Mary performed very well on the stage, and they became "golden partners".

Shen Teng’s performance in "Let’s Go Now" won a bad review. On the other hand, Shen Teng’s new film "The Super Family" has been released on July 21st, and the box office revenue is really complicated. Before the film was released, Shen Teng took the starring team to participate in publicity and run roadshows. It’s not that he didn’t work hard, but in the end he was dragged down by word of mouth.

Some netizens said: Brother Teng, it’s almost a benchmark for bad movies ….. Many of them are for you to see, but they are disappointed, happy to watch movies and swearing out of the cinema; Worthy of the audience? If Shen Teng didn’t star in this movie, the audience would hardly go to see it. Obviously, the audience wanted to see Shen Teng’s funny performance, but everyone did not know that it disappointed the audience. As a result, the film was not good, and the audience who went to the cinema to see the film became less and less.

Why are the audience willing to watch the variety shows and movies starring Shen Teng? The reason is that he left a funny design for the audience before. Recalling Shen Teng’s success in 2015 with the movie goodbye mr. loser, the box office revenue was 1.44 billion, which was quite good at that time. Shen Teng, who became famous, first chose to propose to Wang Qi, who had been in love for many years. Wang Qi was the person who accompanied him through the trough and went to glory. They got married and gave birth to a son.

Shen Teng went from an unknown comedian to the top, which is also inseparable from his efforts to study acting. He has achieved a double harvest in his family and career, and he is also very serious about his family. During this period, there was no scandal. It’s getting smoother and smoother in my career, and I’m going to the peak step by step. In 2017, the box office revenue of "Shame Tiequan" was 2.214 billion, and in 2018, the box office revenue of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" was 2.548 billion.

Wu Jing’s performance in The Wandering Earth earned 4.687 billion yuan, and Crazy Alien earned 2.213 billion yuan.

In Hi, Mom, Jia Ling’s first film in 2021, Shen Teng played the role of Shen Guanglin, in which he played a funny role. It is said that Jia Ling assured Shen Teng that he would never consume his reputation. It can be seen that both of them did it, and the final box office income was 5.413 billion.

At first glance, we can know that Shen Teng’s previous films were well-received and well-received, and his word-of-mouth has always been very stable, with rave reviews. In those years, Shen Teng achieved fame and fortune. Visible to the naked eye, Shen Teng’s reputation declined in 2023, so it’s no wonder that netizens gave him a bad review, and it’s a pity that the movie box office is really. Have to say, Shen Teng will be hard-earned good cards, but into a bad card.

Everyone knows that it takes a certain talent for an actor to be funny and get the recognition and acceptance of the audience. I would like to ask, how can Shen Teng stand firm in the entertainment circle if he doesn’t have two brushes in humor?

Is it the audience’s aesthetic fatigue? Or is it Shen Teng’s personal problem? Next, he should reflect and adjust himself appropriately.

Wang Yu, who has two years’ experience in developing Android system, has been unemployed for three months. The anxiety caused by the unsuccessful job search made him start to consider changing careers. By chance, he learned about the publicity of the training course in HarmonyOS on the Internet.

HarmonyOS Training Course is a training project based on HarmonyOS system. At present, the native HarmonyOS operating system has been released for nearly a month. Because it is no longer compatible with Android applications, the progress of adaptation of third-party HarmonyOS native applications has become more and more topics on the Internet.

Along wITh this craze, there are also training-related educational institutions in HarmonyOS. Whether it is an established IT training institution or an emerging online education platform, more and more institutions are vying to open training courses in HarmonyOS.

Practitioners of an online IT training institution told Tech Planet that their students come from all over the country, not only practitioners with many years of development experience, but also many college students who have not graduated. Previously, their development experience was basically zero.

Tech Planet found that most of these IT training institutions started HarmonyOS-related courses this year, and most of them hung up propaganda slogans such as "unlimited academic qualifications", "good employment prospects", "good salary" and "talent shortage". Wang Yu was attracted by the "good employment prospects" and spent nearly 4,000 yuan to sign up for an online training course.

What is the gold content of these training courses with prices ranging from several thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan? Can they really help "Wang Yu" to get a good job "Qian Jing"?

Developers and institutions flock to HarmonyOS for concept training.

On October 22nd, Huawei’s native HarmonyOS operating system was officially released. This is the first domestic mobile operating system and the third largest mobile operating system in the world after Apple’s iOS and Android systems.

After the release of HarmonyOS operating system, the sales staff of several IT training institutions began to get busy again.

A salesman of Dana Education, a listed US company, told Tech Planet that since the end of October, the number of consultations he received has nearly doubled. Practitioners of another online training course also said that not only college students came to consult, but also practitioners who had been watching before.

The staff of Chongqing IT training institution told Tech Planet, "HarmonyOS training is not a sudden fire today. Last year, many developers began to turn to HarmonyOS."

As early as September 2023, Huawei announced the full launch of HarmonyOS native applications, and many training institutions saw the wind.

Among them, Chanz Education, a A-share listed company, launched courses related to HarmonyOS development in bilibili at the end of November last year. At the end of February this year, its "pure blood" native HarmonyOS applied development discipline started its first course.

Dana Education is also eyeing the cake of "HarmonyOS Training". Last December, Dana HarmonyOS application development course was launched. Han Shaoyun, founder and chairman of Dana IT Training Group, said that this course is employment-oriented, so that young people can learn the skills they just need to enter famous enterprises.

Searching with "HarmonyOS Training" as the key word, not only listed companies such as Dana Education and Chanz Education entered the market, but also some small and medium-sized adult education institutions, which were mainly engaged in non-IT training, tried to start classes and share a piece of it.

The students who sign up for the course are most concerned about whether they can really make money and whether they can enter the Internet giant. Wang Yu first became interested in HarmonyOS training because he saw a set of data published by Zhaopin recruitment platform.

According to the data of "Weekly Report of Spring Recruitment Market in 2024" released by WeChat official account of Zhilian Research Institute, the post demand of HarmonyOS in Spring Recruitment is nearly three times that of last year. At the same time, the average recruitment salary of development posts in HarmonyOS reached 18,191 yuan/month, which was 9% higher than the average salary of overall development posts (16,617 yuan/month).

Wang Yu told Tech Planet that she had two experience classes before signing up for the class. "The trainer mainly talked about the shortage of system development talents in HarmonyOS, and the market is very good now."

Influenced by the content of the experience class, Wang Yu’s deepest feeling after listening is, "HarmonyOS is the future development trend, and it will definitely make money and have more employment opportunities."

Xiao He and her friends, who are still in their senior year, followed this trend at the end of last month and signed up for an online HarmonyOS training course of more than 3,000 yuan. Her organization promised to recommend some recruitment opportunities for enterprises when they graduated.

HarmonyOS Training Course, a Shortcut to Big Factory?

"The demand for talents in HarmonyOS is in short supply, and enterprises are rushing to grab people", "The salary is good, the threshold is low, and the career development prospects are broad", "HarmonyOS is developing employment opportunities, and everyone who comes to to learn HarmonyOS is in demand". ……

These slogans are from the PC homepage of Chanz Podcast. Under its propaganda, HarmonyOS has developed into a job with low threshold and easy employment.

Similar to Chanz podcast, some small and medium-sized IT training institutions even advertise that even the inexperienced "Xiaobai" can master the skills developed in HarmonyOS with their training as long as they are willing to spend time.

Tech Planet consulted Chanz Podcast in the name of the students, and a staff member also said that there is no threshold for development experience requirements, "only the academic qualifications are required to be recruited in full-time colleges and above." The staff of another training institution also said that it is not limited to age or major.

At the same time, in order to prove the effectiveness of the training course, the sales of Chanz Podcast also showed the employment results feedback from the trainees.

A chat record shows that the students claimed to be the first batch of training courses in the Shanghai campus. At that time, eight or nine students who went out in the class all earned around 15 K-20 K. Another good news report shows that in the "HarmonyOS Development Phase I" class in Changping District, Beijing, 52 people graduated and 49 people were employed, and the employment rate reached 94.23%.

At the same time, among the teachers on display, trainers are labeled as "Huawei HarmonyOS Advanced Development Certification". According to Tech Planet, harmonyos Developer Application Certification is a series of certification tests for Harmony OS (HarmonyOS system) developers launched by Huawei.

"Low threshold, certain employment and high income" in propaganda speech has become the key to dispel students’ doubts.

In the consultation in the name of the trainees, many sales representatives said that the training course cooperated with some big factories. "Although employment is not guaranteed, it is definitely easier than recruitment in the market." One sales representative defined the training course as a "shortcut" to big factories.

Getting this "shortcut" will cost a lot of money and take a long time.

According to the courses released by several sales staff, the systematic HarmonyOS development training for Tech Planet Discovery takes about 4 to 6 months, most of which are taught offline, and the fees are about 20,000 to 40,000 yuan.

The lower-priced courses are mainly online classes. The training time starts in three months, and most of them cost more than 3,000 yuan.

According to the course system information provided by an institution, the courses offered by the institution in HarmonyOS are divided into basic classes and master classes, with a total training duration of 85 days. "However, the specific training duration depends on the individual’s progress," the sales said.

For students who are hesitant because of tuition pressure, many institutions will also introduce the strategy of installment payment. A salesperson said that tuition fees can be paid by credit card installment, or through the financial institution that his company cooperates with. "If the original price of the course is more than 20,000 yuan, the interest will be around 2,000 yuan in one and a half years, so the pressure will be lower."

The truth after "further study": playing concept card marketing harvest

"The real employment rate after training is actually very low." Wang Yu is currently studying more than half, but through communication with the students in the group, he found that the so-called slogan of ensuring 90% employment rate is just propaganda. "There are very few people in a class who can find jobs because of training."

As a development experience, Wang Yu also found that in the training class, the content that can be learned is very shallow. If you work directly with the knowledge you have learned, it is simply a fantasy. "Everyone is training with a high salary, and finally there are actually many people who can’t find a job."

Another zero-based student, who is halfway through the purchase of the course, still feels that he is not getting started. "Recently, he also submitted a lot of resumes, but none of them responded."

Senior R&D of a small game company told Tech Planet, "Small companies will not set up separate posts for the development of HarmonyOS, and most will choose internal personnel to transfer jobs first. People who have zero development experience before, but have received relevant training, are basically impossible to be considered. "

Another senior headhunter in the Internet industry also mentioned that he didn’t see the trend of large-scale recruitment in HarmonyOS. Now, only big companies are recruiting jobs in HarmonyOS alone, and this is not a new demand created, but only the number of jobs for Android development.

That is to say, the recruitment requirements and processes developed by HarmonyOS are no different from those developed by ANDRO and iOS. Except for academic qualifications, majors and learning ability, they need practitioners with relevant experience, rather than crash students created by training institutions.

Moreover, different from the prospects advertised by training institutions, many enterprises give priority to internal staff screening and transfer to development positions in HarmonyOS, rather than market-oriented recruitment.

The headhunters also said that with the gradual saturation of the mobile application market, the competition for mobile development posts is becoming increasingly fierce, and HarmonyOS App development is a trend, but it cannot reverse the saturation of the mobile application market.

In his view, compared with the outbreak of real demand, more training institutions just launched a new round of harvest by leveraging the "HarmonyOS concept".

As early as three years ago, Chanz Education had experienced a daily limit of five consecutive days because of catching up with the HarmonyOS system, rising from 19.39 yuan/share to 31.23 yuan/share. In June this year, with the completion of the development of HarmonyOS NEXT, the share price of education in Chanz has soared.

At present, the training business related to the concept of HarmonyOS has not been reflected in the performance level of education in Chanz.

However, in spite of this, in the marketing that many adult IT training institutions such as Chanz Education are optimistic about, more and more students are being attracted and become a part of the harvesting chain.

Nanfang Finance, June 19th, Tianyancha App shows that recently, Tianjin Hanqi Technology Co., Ltd. was established, the legal representative is Sun Keqing, the registered capital is 1 million US dollars, the business scope includes electronic product sales, computer system services,foundation, applications, shared bicycle services, sales of electric bicycles, sales of assisted bicycles, scooters and spare parts, etc. According to shareholder information, the company is wholly owned by Xigua Limited, a subsidiary of Meituan.

　　A piece of paperIt opened the curtain of its high-end smart electric brand’s independent IPO.

　　On December 13th, (00175.HK) announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that Krypton had submitted a draft registration statement for possible initial public offering to the SEC on December 7th, 2022 on a confidential basis.

　　According to the announcement, the proposed spin-off content currently includes two items, namely, the sale of krypton shares in the United States and the physical way toDistribute American Depositary Shares. On the date of this announcement, the number and amount of American Depositary Shares proposed for sale and sale in the IPO have not been determined.

　　The day before, it was reported that Krypton sought to raise more than 1 billion US dollars (about 6.9 billion yuan) in the United States, with a valuation of more than 10 billion US dollars (about 69 billion yuan), which was higher than the 9 billion US dollars when it raised funds for the first time last year.

　　Krypton independent spin-off listing

　　It is believed that the proposed spin-off is in the overall interests of shareholders, which will enable investors to better evaluate the Group and focus on retaining business, and at the same time provide Krypton with continuous direct and independent access to the equity and debt capital markets when necessary. In view of the industry trend and based on the evaluation of the business and operation of the Group and Krypton, it is suggested that the spin-off will enhance the value of Krypton, enable Krypton to develop independently and fully release its potential, thus benefiting shareholders.

　　In fact, the news that Krypton will be listed independently has a long history.

　　Krypton was established in March 2021, and was jointly invested by Geely Automobile and Geely Holding Group. As early as last August, when we completed the $500 million Pre-A round of financing, Yuan Jing, CFO of Extreme Intelligence Technology, said that there is no clear IPO plan at present, but it does not rule out participating in the capital market in various forms in the future.

　　After more than a year of development, on October 31st this year, Geely Automobile announced that it proposed to split Krypton and list it independently, and the Stock Exchange has confirmed that the company can carry out the proposed spin-off, but the terms of the proposed spin-off (including listing location, sale scale, price range and the company’s shareholders can get Krypton)The guaranteed quota of) has not yet been determined.

　　As the "second growth curve" of Geely’s electrification, Krypton is becoming the high-end of Geely.As a new force in the market, the sales volume of Geely Automobile increased from 3.5% in the first half of 2021 to 17.9% in the first half of this year.

　　At present, the main model of extremely krypton is extremely krypton 001. In November this year, extremely krypton delivered 11,000 vehicles. After the first delivery in October, it broke through 10,000 vehicles again, and achieved a month-on-month growth for five consecutive months. In the first 11 months of this year, the cumulative delivery of krypton has reached 66,600 vehicles, and there is almost no suspense in achieving the goal of selling 70,000 vehicles annually.

　　In addition, in November this year, Extreme Krypton launched its second product, Extreme Krypton 009, aiming at pure electricity.MPV is expected to be delivered in January next year.

　　An Conghui, CEO of Extreme Smart Technology, said that in the first half of this year, it was extremely gross.It will reach about 5%, and the gross profit level will be further improved on the basis of delivering 50,000 vehicles in the second half of the year.

　　It is worth mentioning that Krypton is not the first brand listed independently by Geely. In October 2021, Volvo Cars announced that it wasInitial public offering of Stockholm Stock Exchange; In June this year,(Polestar) merged with SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) Gores Guggenheim and landed in the United States; The application statement for Geely’s Yikatong Technology to use the listing plan of SPAC company CovaAcquisitionCorp in the United States has been announced by the US regulatory authorities. It is expected that the listing of SPAC will be completed by the end of this year, with a valuation of about 3.8 billion US dollars.

　　It is becoming a trend for traditional car companies to "create the second generation" to go public.

　　In fact, as a business with huge initial investment and long payback period, car-making has to go through mass production-sales climbing-scale effect highlighting-gross.Turn positive-The long process of becoming a full member-returning to the original position.

　　Even "Wei Xiaoli", whose sales volume has risen and gross profit margin has turned positive, has not yet achieved profitability under the continuous R&D investment and market layout. Although in the eyes of many people, the new brand born out of traditional car companies is not bad, but the cruel fact is that at present, exceptandIn addition, basically all brands have not yet formed a certain hematopoietic capacity.

　　Chairman Ceng Qinghong hit the nail on the head-"At present, all new energy automakers are losing money and have no money to earn. This is a consensus."

　　The cumulative loss of GAC Ai ‘an in 2019-2021 was nearly 2.7 billion yuan; Lantu Automobile, a subsidiary of Dongfeng, has been in a state of loss since its establishment in June last year. By June 30 this year, the accumulated net loss was 1.443 billion yuan, and the average monthly net loss exceeded 100 million yuan.

　　According to the financial report data released by Geely Automobile, the revenue in 2021 was 2.868 billion yuan, and the net loss in the same period reached 1.01 billion yuan; In the first half of this year, Krypton’s revenue was 8.828 billion yuan, and the net loss during the period was 759 million yuan. Since the establishment of the brand, the accumulated net loss of Krypton is nearly 1.8 billion yuan.

　　In An Conghui’s view, "smart electric vehicles don’t make money at first, but with the growth of sales and the formation of branding and scale, enterprises can gradually make profits."

　　Therefore, for the new car-making enterprises that are generally in a state of burning money crazily and have not yet achieved balance of payments or even profits, they are facing the domestic market.The fierce competition in the city needs more funds for production investment, technology research and development, brand building, digital marketing, channel expansion, etc. Financing and listing have become one of the means for many new car manufacturers to get more funds. Since this year, many traditional car companies have released listing plans.

　　Insiders of GAC Ai ‘an revealed to 21st century business herald that GAC Ai ‘an, which has completed the A round of financing, plans to make an IPO next year and strive to become the first new energy vehicle in science and technology innovation board; Tamia Liu, co-CEO of Zhiji Automobile, has repeatedly publicly stated that the company’s public financing is already under planning, and there will be A-round, B-round and C-round financing plans, as well as very clear listing plans; In addition, it is reported that Feifan Automobile, a subsidiary of SAIC, also has an independent IPO plan.

　　In November this year, Lantu Automobile completed a round of financing of 5 billion yuan, and the valuation of Lantu Automobile after financing was about 30 billion yuan. Lu Fang, CEO of Lantu Automobile, said that Lantu Automobile will continue to carry out subsequent rounds of financing according to actual development needs and market conditions. At the same time, it will also consider the follow-up IPO plan based on the market and regulatory policies.

　　It is worth mentioning that if the company, which was established less than two years ago, successfully goes public in the United States, it will become the fastest listed new car-making enterprise. beforeIdeal, Tucki took about four to five years from its establishment to landing in the US stock market, and successfully went public in Hong Kong in September this year.It took nearly seven years.

　　In the eyes of the industry, the current capital market is becoming more and more rational for intelligent electric tracks. In order to obtain financing, simple storytelling is difficult to maintain, and it needs to be matched with actual products and technologies. "In contrast, the new energy brands hatched by traditional car companies do not have too many historical burdens. They are good at absorbing new management models and focusing on new energy, autonomous driving and other tracks, which has certain appeal to industrial capital."

　　Recently, the military movie "Wolf Warriors 2" starring the famous actor Jason Wu was released simultaneously in China and the United States. When the film was "a great success" in the China film market, and the box office revenue was "leaping forward" and became a hot topic at present, American film audiences, especially Chinese audiences and film professionals, also gave a wide-ranging discussion and praise to this China film.

　　1. Being sought after has a high attendance rate.

　　During the production of Wolf Warriors 2, many American actors and producers joined in, so the film producer specially held a film premiere conference in Los Angeles, USA. The father of Celina Jade, the leading actress of the film, also made a special trip to the scene to attend the film premiere, and expressed his pride in his daughter’s performance in Wolf Warriors 2.

　　According to media reports here, "Wolf Warriors 2" was shown in 53 cinemas in the United States, which attracted many audiences, most of whom were Chinese. No matter in Washington, new york in the east, or in Los Angeles, San Francisco and other areas with more Chinese residents in the west, Wolf Warriors 2 is sought after and has a high attendance rate. Most of the audience who saw the film expressed their appreciation for it. Due to the limited number of cinemas and screenings, many cinemas are full, and the phenomenon of "one ticket is hard to find" in popular hours also appears from time to time.

　　According to the reporter’s understanding, when "Wolf Warriors 2" was shown in an AMC cinema in gaithersburg, Maryland, the auditorium was almost full of audiences, most of whom were Chinese, but also some American audiences. Many Chinese audiences praised the excellent production level of China films at present, and were moved to tears by the scenes of China passport at the end of the film. Some even took out their mobile phones to shoot the picture of China passport at the end of the film. After the film, many people applauded. Some old overseas Chinese said that the more you are overseas, the more you can understand the meaning of patriotism. Such films provide a good opportunity for overseas Chinese to enhance their national pride.

　　On social media, there is no lack of hot discussion about Wolf Warriors 2. China Universal Television Network, a subsidiary of CCTV, reported in English that "Wolf Warriors 2" won $127 million in the first week of its release and became the global box office champion. The reporter noted that the official Twitter of the East Asia and Pacific Affairs Bureau in the State Council, USA, paid attention to the news. Even many American scholars, who usually pay attention to observing the political and economic relations between China and the United States, are interested in this phenomenal film in China.

　　Among the netizens who leave messages on social media, there are both Chinese viewers and many American netizens. An American netizen said that it was a "China Rambo" film and it was a success. The netizen also affirmed the performances of the film starring Jason Wu and Celina Jade, and thought that the role played by Jason Wu had extraordinary charm, and Celina Jade also better interpreted the image of a hero doctor.

　　2. American media are scrambling to report.

　　Wolf Warriors 2 has become the most popular movie in China at present, which naturally attracts the attention of American media. On August 8th, CNN published an article entitled "Patriotic War Films Break China Box Office Record", focusing on the patriotic feelings shown in the film. The article said that in 2015, Jason Wu directed and starred in Wolf Warriors 1, which earned 80 million dollars at the box office. In contrast, Wolf Warriors 2 is more successful because it captures the patriotic complex of the audience. The article also quoted Jason Wu as saying in an interview with CCTV: "People all know Tom Cruise and Arnold Schwarzenegger, why can’t we have an actor representing China?" The article especially mentions the China passport and subtitles displayed at the end of the film — — "People’s Republic of China (PRC) citizens, when you are in danger overseas, don’t give up! Please remember that behind you, there is a strong motherland! "

　　美国主流媒体《洛杉矶时报》近日刊载名为《〈战狼2〉将成为中国最卖座的电影》的文章，对该片进行了点评。文章开头写道：中国爱国主义动作电影《战狼2》在中国的票房总收入已经超越了美国好莱坞电影《速度与激情8》，成为中国本年度最卖座的电影。该文指出，《战狼2》在票房上取得的巨大成功是罕见的，因为中国电影通常在年末或中国春节档期才会出现“票房大卖”的局面。

　　《洛杉矶时报》的另一篇文章则从社会文化的角度对《战狼2》进行了分析。文章指出，相比于娱乐元素，该影片表现出的中美之间的文化差异，或许更能够成为吸引美国观众的重要原因。对于美国观众来说，从一个相反的社会政治视角审视这部类似好莱坞式制作的影片是有趣的事情。文章进一步说，尽管《战狼2》这部影片并无特别之处，但它在爱国情结上却令人振奋。在其情节设定中，中国竭尽全力维护贫穷弱小国家的利益，而世界上其他国家却只是在利用这些贫穷弱小国家。该文强调，这部影片对美国观众有启发意义的是，观众必须承认，过去他们从好莱坞大片中经常能看到类似的人物设定，只不过这一次英雄和反派的位置作了交换，美国人并不永远都是美国队长那样的正面形象。

　　The Hollywood Reporter, a professional film media, wrote in its review of Wolf Warriors 2: Compared with Wolf Warriors 1, Wolf Warriors 2 has more grand production and bolder innovation. Although this is not always beneficial to the film, for fans who like this type of film, the well-designed scene arrangement and shocking effect of the film will definitely leave a deep impression on them. In addition, many American media affirmed the grand scenes and special effects of such an adventure film as Wolf Warriors 2. Not only that, the American media also believe that the strong interest is also a major feature of the film.

　　3. Patriotism is the common ground of movies in different countries.

　　Analyzing the success of "Wolf Warriors 2", what attracts the audience most is the patriotic feelings shown in the film, among which Maotai, the national wine, and the bridge section of Beijing Jeep are most talked about by the audience. The China passport and touching subtitles at the end of the film make every Chinese son and daughter excited.

　　While the audience applauded, the film was a hit, and the media praised it, some foreign media also made a strange argument, saying that the popularity of Wolf Warriors 2 was due to promoting patriotism and catering to the current wave of nationalism in China. Obviously, this argument is an overreaction with "colored glasses". Anyone who knows or has seen the film knows that the story is similar to China’s evacuation of overseas Chinese in a certain place in Africa in recent years, showing the elegance and patriotic feelings of China soldiers. What’s more, promoting patriotism is not the unique feature of Wolf Warriors 2 or China films. In contrast, Hollywood films in the United States have a longer history and are more skillful in promoting American patriotism.

　　As early as World War II, professionals in the American army began to study the role of military films in boosting soldiers’ morale. Commercial films specific to the United States seem to be far from political reality. In fact, many Hollywood blockbusters preach the "American spirit" to the whole world from different angles. American classic films, such as Pearl Harbor, Top Gun, Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down and Hacksaw Ridge, which are familiar to the audience, all promote American patriotism. In addition to promoting patriotism, American military movies also highlight the heroic, affectionate and righteous American soldiers, and shape their image of bravely fighting evil forces and saving all the people from fire and water. Many films even acted as "propaganda films" of the US military.

　　One of the most typical examples is the inspirational film Top Gun, which was all the rage in 1980s and starred by Tom Cruise. This film, called "American Recruitment Propaganda Film", was strongly supported by the US military behind the scenes. The US Navy provided F-14 fighters used by several squadrons and several active pilots for the film. In addition to advanced fighters, aircraft carriers such as the US carl vinson also appeared in the film. Such a powerful hardware lineup is also costly. We must know that the flight cost of the F-14 fighter is not low. At that time, the cost of aviation fuel alone was as high as $7,000 per hour. This shows that the US military spared no effort in shooting this film. Through the interpretation of the film, the audience can enjoy the magnificent scene of first-class fighters galloping in the blue sky and white clouds and pilots chasing each other in the "eagle". This film not only makes military fans and ordinary audiences addicted, but also makes great contributions to the conscription work in the United States. According to statistics, after the film was broadcast, the US Navy ushered in the highest enlistment rate after World War II.

　　In recent years, Hollywood sci-fi military films have become the "new favorites" of the US military to promote patriotism and display new weapons. "Transformers" series movies have been a great success at the box office, and behind its light, it is inseparable from the help of the US military. "I am the only director who is allowed to make a film in the Pentagon." "Transformers" director michael bay once said in an interview with the media. In fact, since the filming of Transformed king kong 2, michael bay has been working closely with the Pentagon. Michael bay needs equipment such as large military transport planes, fighter planes and even aircraft carriers to make films, which is impossible without military support. The American army needs to work with Hollywood to promote the latest weapons and the image of the army, and both sides need what they want. When Transformers 5 arrives, the scene shown in the movie is almost a "joint military exercise" of the three armed forces of the United States. In the film, the cool American military equipment all appeared, and V-22 Osprey transport aircraft, MH-53 heavy helicopter, F-22 Raptor fighter, Ali Burke-class destroyer, etc., made a splash. In addition, in "Transformers 5", the superior combat capability of American soldiers and the global combat concept of the US military have also been fully exerted.

　　Some film critics pointed out that while the audience was addicted to their eyes, their goodwill towards the US military and their pride in the country were invisibly improved. Facts have proved that the films produced by the "strong alliance" between Hollywood and the US military not only captured the market, but also captured the hearts of fans. In this regard, those foreign media wearing "colored glasses" kept their mouths shut, but they just didn’t like Wolf Warriors 2. Perhaps this explains the success of Wolf Warriors 2 from one side. In fact, advocating patriotism is the common tone of many national films. Wolf Warriors 2 is just the latest phenomenal film in China, and its success in the American film market shows that the audience recognizes the China story it tells.

Forget glugging countless glasses of water or getting your beauty sleep. The secret of looking young is simply to stay out of the sun.
Stop being crazy about drinking water and sleeping beauty sleep. There is actually only one secret to staying young: staying away from the sun.

A study of hundreds of women has revealed that those who avoided the sun’s rays looked up to 20 years younger than they actually are.
After investigating hundreds of women, a study found that those women who stay away from the sun’s radiation look 20 years younger than their actual age.

However, other supposed rules for a youthful complexion, from drinking lots of water to sleeping well and exercising regularly, failed to hold back the hands of time.
Other universally recognized principles of maintaining youthful appearance, such as drinking more water, sleeping beauty sleep and exercising regularly, can’t stop the ruthless years from leaving marks on the face.

Only keeping out of the sun, and wearing sunscreen when this wasn’t possible, made a difference, the American Academy of Dermatology’s annual conference will hear today.
The annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology will announce this discovery: only by staying away from the sun, or wearing sunscreen when you have to be exposed to the sun, can you resist the years for several rounds.

The intriguing finding comes from a study of 231 women of all ages who were quizzed about their lives, including whether they were sun-worshippers.
This interesting discovery comes from a study of 231 women of all ages. The researchers conducted a questionnaire survey on their living habits, including whether they like to bask in the sun.

When researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital in the US – commissioned by skincare firm Olay – guessed how old the women were, they found those who took care in the sun tended to have aged more slowly.
Subsequently, commissioned by Olay, a skin care company, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital estimated the age of these women and found that women who took sunscreen measures aged more slowly.

A lucky four had so few wrinkles and age spots, and such a glowing complexion, that they appeared to be a full two decades younger than they really were.
Four of them have almost no wrinkles and age spots, so radiant that they look twenty years younger than their actual age.

Researcher Dr Alexa Kimball, a professor of dermatology, said the popular perception that we drink lots of water to stay healthy is a myth and the body is ‘pretty good’ at judging how much we need.
Researcher Dr. Alex Kimble, a professor of dermatology, said that the popular view that drinking more water can keep you healthy is nonsense, and our bodies can accurately judge the amount of water we need.

Previous research by the British Nutrition Foundation reached a similar conclusion.
Previously, the British Nutrition Association’s research also reached a similar conclusion.

Experts there said: ‘Just drinking water for the sake of drinking water really has no effect on improving the appearance of skin.’
Experts from the association said: "Drinking water for the sake of drinking water really won’t improve the skin."

It isn’t clear why the women who slept well didn’t have younger-looking skin. But it may be that the question they were asked was too narrow and didn’t take into account their long-term sleep patterns.
As for why women with good sleep quality can’t have younger skin, the reason is not clear. However, this may be because the coverage of the questionnaire is too narrow and the long-term sleep patterns of the subjects are not taken into account.

A second study, also by Olay, suggested that low-level day to day exposure to the sun is more ageing that occasional, intense blasts.
The second study initiated by Olay Company shows that frequent exposure to low-intensity sunlight is more likely to make people aging than occasional exposure.

Finally, DNA examination of tiny samples of the women’s skin gave some insight into the damage done by the sun.
Finally, the researchers conducted genetic testing on female skin samples, which gave us a general understanding of the damage caused by sunlight to the skin.

A gene called CDKN2A was more active in facial skin that is exposed to the elements than on samples taken from the buttocks.
The researchers found that the gene named CDKN2A is more active in facial skin exposed to sunlight than hip skin away from sunlight.

This gene was also more active in women who said they loved the sun – and in those who looked older.
The gene is also more active in women who love sunshine-and these women look older.

Dr Kimball said CDKN2A activity is a sign that a cell is ‘tired out’ and urged women should protect their skin year round and not just when on a beach holiday.
Dr. Jin Bo said that the activity of CDKN2A gene means that cells are actually in distress, so she called on women to take skin care measures all year round, instead of waiting for a beach holiday to think about sun protection.

Dr Frauke Neuser, principal scientist at Olay, which has used the research to develop its latest face creams, said: ‘This research gives us a detailed picture of the effect of sun exposure on skin ageing and illustrate the importance of protection on a daily basis.’
Dr. flock Neuhser, the leading scientist of Olay, used these research findings to develop the latest cream. He said: "This study gives us a detailed understanding of the effects of sunlight on skin aging, indicating that daily skin care is very important."

Christmas symbolizes love and sacred faith. Christmas is a day of celebration and jubilation abroad. For people in Europe and America, Christmas is like the Spring Festival in China. They have Christmas holidays, give Christmas gifts and participate in various Christmas activities.

The real meaning of Christmas is to commemorate the birth of Jesus. Christmas Eve on December 24th and Christmas Day on December 25th are all related to the legend of the birth of Jesus.

At the beginning of the 4th century, January 6th was a double festival for churches in the eastern Roman Empire to commemorate the birth and baptism of Jesus, that is, God revealed himself to the world through Jesus.

This day is also the winter solstice festival of the Roman calendar, which means the beginning of the recovery of everything. Perhaps for this reason, the Roman church chose this day as Christmas.

Christmas is the biggest festival in the Christian world. It is generally believed that December 25th, as Christmas, may have started in the Roman Church in 336 AD.

Because the calendars used by local churches are different, the specific dates cannot be unified, so December 24 to January 6 of the following year is designated as the Christmas Festival, and local churches can celebrate Christmas during this festival according to local conditions.

In many countries in Europe and America, people attach great importance to this festival and associate it with the New Year. The excitement and solemnity of the celebration greatly surpassed the New Year and became a national holiday.

The symbol of Christmas tree

It is said that the Christmas tree first appeared in the Saturnalia in mid-December in ancient Rome, and the German missionary Nicholas used vertical trees to worship the infant in the 8th century. Subsequently, the Germans took December 24 as the festival of Adam and Eve, and put a "paradise tree" symbolizing the Garden of Eden at home, and hung cookies representing the sacred bread to symbolize atonement; And lit candles to symbolize Christ. In the 16th century, Martin Luther, a religious reformer, designed a Christmas tree with candles in it for a starry Christmas night.

However, there is another popular saying about the origin of the Christmas tree in the west: A kind farmer warmly entertained a wandering child on Christmas Day. When leaving, the child broke off a branch and planted it on the ground and immediately grew into a big tree. The child pointed to the tree and told the farmer that every year today, the tree is full of gifts to repay your kindness. Therefore, the Christmas tree people see today is always full of small gifts. Designed by Horsley. The card depicts a noble family, and three generations raise their glasses together to congratulate an absent relative. At that time, he printed 1000 copies, and the unused printing house sold them at a price of 1 shilling each. So the Christmas card was born.
