  In the industry environment where overspeed and stall occur frequently,It seems that it has always maintained its own rhythm.

  On May 10th, the published financial report for the first quarter of 2023 showed that it delivered 52,584 new cars during the period, up 65.8% year-on-year; Realized revenue of 18.79 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 96.5%; Operating profit and890 million yuan and 1.41 billion yuan respectively, grossAbout 20.4%, reaching the "healthy" threshold set by Chairman and CEO Li Xiang.

  Based on the market feedback in the first quarter, the second quarterThe guideline gives a new high, and the delivery of new cars is expected to reach 76,000-81,000, up 164.9%-182.4% year-on-year; The total income is expected to be 24.22 billion-25.86 billion yuan, up 177.4%-196.1% year-on-year; Annual grossThe goal remains at 20%. At the first quarter performance meeting held on the same day, the management of LI also showed full confidence in the company’s development rhythm. Strive to deliver 30,000 vehicles in June, release pure electric vehicles in the fourth quarter, not consider price reduction for the time being, and adjust production capacity according to demand, which are the key words of management.

  Maintain the gross profit margin target of 20% for the whole year.

  Among the total revenue of 18.79 billion yuan in the first quarter, LI’s vehicle sales revenue was about 18.33 billion yuan, up 96.9% year-on-year and 6.1% quarter-on-quarter.

  Li Tie, CFO of LI, said at the performance meeting that the year-on-year increase in vehicle sales revenue was mainly due to the increase in vehicle delivery and the increase in the average selling price contributed by the ideal L series models; The month-on-month increase in this revenue was mainly due to the increase in vehicle delivery, and at the same time, some of the increase in delivery was offset by the decrease in average selling price caused by the difference in product mix between the two quarters.

  On February 8th this year, LI officially released the first five-seat product ideal L7, and launched the third model L7 Air; after L7 Pro and L7 Max on the same day. In addition, the L8 Air, the third model of the six-seat SUV, was also launched simultaneously. According to the official price published by LI, the national unified retail prices of L7 Air, L7 Pro and L7 Max are 319,800 yuan, 339,800 yuan and 379,800 yuan respectively, which are 20,000 yuan lower than the retail prices of ideal L8 models.

  On March 11th, Ideal L7 was delivered. According to the data released by LI, the ideal retail volume of L7 terminals in March was 8,009, and the delivery volume in April exceeded 10,000.

  The delivery of vehicles with relatively lower prices has increased, and its impact has also been fed back to the Maori side. In the first quarter of 2023, LI’s gross profit was 3.83 billion yuan, up 77.0% year-on-year and 7.4% quarter-on-quarter; The gross profit margin of bicycles was 19.8%, which was lower than 20.0% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

  Among many new brands, LI has been at the forefront in cost control. Although nearly 50 stores have been expanded or optimized in LI since late June, 2022, the sales, general and management expenses in LI in the first quarter were basically the same, which remained at the level of 1.6 billion yuan, about 1.65 billion yuan. As of April 30th, LI has 302 retail centers, 318 after-sales maintenance centers and authorized car body panel repair and painting centers all over the country. In the first quarter, its research and development expenses dropped to 1.85 billion yuan.

  "Overall, we are very confident about the steady increase in gross profit margin." Li Tie said, "In the first quarter, the sales in Li ONE reduced the overall gross profit margin of vehicles in the quarter by 1.6%. We expect to complete all the sales in Li ONE in the first half of the year, so we can basically eliminate the impact of this part. Regarding the profit margin climbing of ideal L7 and Air models, we think there is still room for improvement. However, considering that there are other potential factors, we still maintain the goal of 20% gross profit margin for the whole year. "

  Before entering the pure electricity market, stabilize the market share.

  Once the news that LI will launch pure electric vehicles was exposed, it quickly seized the hot spot of public opinion.

  In Li Xiang’s view, the ultimate goal of pure electric vehicles is to replace fuel vehicles on a large scale, just like extended-range vehicles; To achieve this goal, the safety and convenience of energy acquisition are the basic conditions.

  In 2023, LI indicated that it will invest heavily in the construction of the overcharge network, and plans to build 300 high-speed charging stations before the end of the year, covering.Yangtze River Delta, Greater Bay Area, Chengdu and Chongqing, and expand the number of charging stations to 3,000 by the end of 2025, covering 90% of the country’s high-speed mileage and major cities in the first, second and third tiers.

  "We will not pass these costs on to consumers, so we will also let users buy the most competitive products in the same level at a cheaper price through effective R&D and supply chain layout." At the press conference, Li Xiang said that the layout of pure electricity sector was decided by LI after long-term planning and research. Therefore, the company has made sufficient preparations in R&D and supply chain.

  "Our core goal is to make high-voltage pure electric vehicles have prices similar to those of extended-range vehicles, and obtain gross profit margins similar to those of extended-range vehicles, which is the embodiment of our healthy operation. This is based on the research and development of models and the layout of the supply chain that we started a long time ago. "

  According to him, the first all-electric vehicle in LI will be released in the fourth quarter of 2023, and then delivery will begin, keeping the release rhythm similar to the ideal L7, L8 and L9.

  Before entering the field of pure electricity to divide cakes, LI put more energy into steadily increasing the market share. "Our core goal in the second quarter is to increase the market share of the NEV market above 200,000 yuan in the first quarter from 11% to 13%." However, Li Xiang bluntly said that there is no plan to reduce the price in LI at present. "When we make detailed long-term planning and pricing, we have set the price at the most competitive price in the corresponding price range according to the level and size of each model, and there will be problems when the price floats up and down. This is the fundamental reason why we have been very cautious in pricing and insist on long-term consideration. "

  Judging from the ideal L7 and L8 vehicle segmentation strategy, the successive appearance of Air, Pro and Max models also differentiated the same product on the basis of overall price reduction, providing more choices at the consumer end.

  Li Xiang said that with the test drive of the Air model to the store, the order volume has indeed increased significantly, and the ideal L7 and L8 Air models have brought about a 20% increase. "According to the first-tier, new first-tier and second-tier cities, the new first-tier cities have the highest sales growth rate at present, because for the SUV market of more than 300,000, the new first-tier cities have real consumption.. In the long run, third-and fourth-tier cities are also the focus of LI’s future expansion, with a view to gaining more market share in these regions. "

Beware of AI black industry chain "making yellow rumors" in batches

  On June 27th, the Central Network Information Office issued the Notice on Launching the Special Action of "Qinglang 2023 Summer Minors’ Network Environment Renovation", and launched the two-month special action of "Qinglang 2023 Summer Minors’ Network Environment Renovation" (hereinafter referred to as "Special Action"). In particular, it is pointed out that we should pay attention to the risks of new technologies and new applications, such as the generation of vulgar pornographic pictures and videos involving minors by technologies such as "AI face changing", and we should focus on rectification.

  — — — — — — — — — —

  Today, "AI undressing" technology has generated a black industrial chain. Upstream criminals generate pictures through AI technology, integrate these pictures, package them into an atlas, and sell them to downstream buyers through complete sets of sales. Some people set up a "paid membership group" for this purpose, which makes some innocent people and even minors fall into the whirlpool of "yellow rumors". The reporter of China Youth Daily and China Youth Network conducted an investigation and interview.

  The picture of "AI undressing" was publicly sold.

  "It’s really my face in the picture, but here I am … … Why are you naked? "

  In May this year, Li Yi (pseudonym), who was still in college, received a picture sent to her by a netizen. After reading it, she was angry and scared.

  Li is also a Cosplay blogger, who often shares photos of himself playing various anime roles on social media. Later, she and netizens found Luo Fan (net name) who made nude photos. Luo Fen admitted that he put the photos into an AI (Artificial Intelligence) software and could "take off" Li Yi’s clothes in less than a few minutes. On the Internet, Luo Fen publicly peddles pictures at the price of one in 5 yuan, claiming that 60 yuan can package and buy "nude photos" of more than 60 bloggers, including photos of minors.

  "I have never taken such a photo!" Angry Li also began to collect evidence of the other party’s illegal behavior using AI, with the intention of investigating its legal responsibility, so she added friends with Luo Fan as a buyer.

  Luo fen does not directly solicit business with the word "AI undress", but implicitly expresses that she is "changing the picture". "Little sister, here comes Cosplay ‘ Change the map ’ , 5 yuan. " When Li further asked him how to "change the picture", Luo said vaguely that he used AI technology to generate various Cosplay pictures.

  Li also found a clue from a group chat formed by Luofen. Here, Luofen not only continues to provide the service of "changing pictures", but also publishes a large number of suggestive and provocative pictures, which are publicly sold in the form of atlas, saying that 60 yuan can buy 65 pictures, and "it is estimated that a total of 300 pictures will be updated slowly through group chat".

  "Who is this?" Li also found his own "nude photos" and went to ask Luo powder to understand. "This is clotho (the character name) wearing no clothes, and the blogger himself let it be filmed like this." Luo powder replied, and hinted in a secret way, "Don’t mess around, because more than 60 bloggers involved in the set of pictures don’t agree."

  "He said it like we bloggers took large-scale photos ourselves!" Li is also very angry, revealing his identity and confronting Luo Fen.

  "I’m sorry, sister!" Luo Fen admitted that she "re-created" Li Yi’s picture. Li also said that this is not the normal scope of "secondary creation", but an infringement of her personality right.

  Luo Fen argued that these series of pictures were not made by him, "they were made by others". Luo Fen didn’t realize the seriousness of this matter and discussed with Li Yi, "My card balance is only 1200 yuan. Can you compensate you for 650 yuan’s personal settlement?"

  "It’s not about money. You have broken the law." Li Yi and other bloggers chose to call the police.

  Black industrial chain harms minors.

  Li Yi’s experience is not a case. AI technology has been abused and a black industrial chain is taking shape.

  On the internet, as long as you enter keywords, you can easily find businesses that provide "AI undressing" related technologies or services. They solicit business on social media under the banner of "AI painting" and "AI changing pictures", and guide customers to add their contact information. After one-on-one communication or private group chat, they will come up with suggestive pictures to induce netizens to buy.

  There are many victims of "AI undressing", even harming minors. A seller claimed that he was "rich in resources" and sent a complete set of price lists, which divided the atlas into such categories as "stars", "online celebrity", "models" and "cartoons" in detail. In the sample pictures he sent, there were even high school students in school uniforms. He claimed that if there is no favorite type, customers can send photos of "single picture customization" for two yuan each, and "all pictures on the Internet can be used as material".

  Another seller also invited customers to join the group by membership, saying that at present, "there are already two or three hundred atlases in the group", and as long as you spend 30 yuan to join the group, you can enjoy free continuous updates. When the reporter of China Youth Daily and China Youth Network further questioned the source of his atlas, he faltered that his resources were downloaded from a website, "I didn’t do it myself".

  "In fact, as long as you master the relevant technology, people can use AI to make these pictures." Algorithm engineer Lantian, a senior reporter, told the reporter of China Youth Daily and China Youth Net that the "AI undressing" algorithm is called "DeepNude" and has been removed from the shelves in the United States because of ethical problems, but it is not excluded that some people train machines through other AI algorithms to achieve the same effect.

  In a communication software, an AI robot has gained many users. It doesn’t need the user to master the complicated algorithm knowledge, but only needs to follow its prompts to complete the operations of "changing face" and "undressing" for photos. This robot also has detailed fine settings, which can adjust the parameters of the picture like a beauty camera.

  This robot needs to be used for a fee. After clicking the "recharge" button, the user will be guided to a card recharge website for online payment. However, users do not pay merchants, but individuals, so it is difficult to track the operating subject of the robot. According to its price list, a strip photo can be generated at a minimum of two yuan.

  "The machine is neutral, just give it ‘ Hello ’ With enough human body structure maps, the machine can redraw the whole map by recognizing features such as face and body, and generate a ‘ Stripping photos ’ 。” Blue sky said that the machine "only cares about the generation of photos" and will not take into account the wishes of the people in the photos and ethical and legal issues such as whether they are adults.

  "According to the perspective of technology instrumentalism, technology is neutral and harmless, but this understanding ignores the moral relevance that technology should have." Xie Ling, an associate professor at the School of Criminal Investigation, Southwest University of Political Science and Law, and a tutor for master students, believes that there are differences between technologies, and the consequences of the abuse of some new technologies, such as deep forgery technology, are hard to predict, and their ethical and legal issues are more complicated.

  Constructing network security rules from the principle of "most beneficial to minors"

  Lawyer Yao Zhidou, a partner of Beijing Jingshi Law Firm, has been exposed to many cases of infringement of minors’ rights and interests due to the abuse of new technologies. In a case, a criminal used the "AI Face Change" software to replace the facial information of a large number of underage students collected from Internet channels, made a false face-changing obscene video, and then sold the video for a fee. "This not only infringes on the portrait rights and mental health of underage students, but also is suspected of spreading obscene articles for profit."

  "To cope with the risks of new technologies and new applications, we need to learn from ‘ Most beneficial to minors ’ Principles and ‘ Children’s rights ’ To build security rules from the perspective of. " Guo Kaiyuan, an expert in juvenile legal research at China Youth Research Center, believes that in view of the risks brought by new technologies and new applications, it is necessary to grasp the dynamic balance between the special protection of minors and the application of new technologies. Relevant departments should set up rules to protect children, respect privacy and set up special protection as soon as possible, especially the rules of grading management according to age standards and the rules of informed consent of guardians.

  Xie Ling called for the classification and evaluation of the application risks of new technologies, the establishment of an institutional barrier for the regulation of new technologies, and the definition of the boundaries of rational use of technologies. If there is no barrier against technology abuse, the networking application of this kind of high-risk new technology should be strictly regulated, because "new technology is very likely to lead to new illegal behaviors in the future".

  Yao Zhidou said that it is difficult to supervise cybercrime. The evidence of cyber crime is mainly stored in the network server, and it is difficult to obtain evidence in the face of complex and diverse electronic data. In addition, it is difficult to determine the identity of the offenders, and some criminals are abroad, which brings challenges to the jurisdiction of the case.

  In fact, in view of the risks brought by new technologies and applications on the Internet, relevant departments have stepped up efforts to rectify them.

  One of the seven focuses of the special action of the Central Network Information Office is the risk of new technologies and applications, including the use of technologies such as "AI face changing", "AI drawing" and "AI one-button undressing" to generate vulgar pornographic pictures and videos involving minors; Use the so-called "burn after reading" secret chat software to trick minors into providing personal information and induce illegal activities; Using generative artificial intelligence technology to produce and publish harmful information about minors.

  "This has released the signal that the state has stepped up efforts to rectify the network environment and effectively strengthen the network protection for minors." Xie Ling pointed out that this special action is aimed at the vulnerable characteristics of minors’ body and mind, aiming at preventing minors from using the Internet badly, and preventing them from becoming "tools" of new network illegal and criminal activities. It is also a concrete manifestation of implementing the law on the protection of minors and the relevant legal protection measures of the law on the prevention of juvenile delinquency.

  Now, Li has also stepped out of the psychological shadow. She said, "I can’t stop loving life because of these things."

Aim for the first phalanx in the country! The future of Hebei rugby can be expected.

On September 24th, China team player Liao Jiuli (second from right) was in the competition. Xinhua News Agency reporter Ren Zhenglai photo
On October 3rd, Liao Jiuli rushed to the China Women’s Rugby Team to report for duty, and began a new stage of training to prepare for the women’s rugby qualifying tournament for the Paris Olympic Games at the end of this year. This young rugby player trained in our province won the women’s rugby sevens gold medal with his teammates at the Hangzhou Asian Games.
Nevertheless, according to Tang Yu, director of the Small Ball Sports Center of the Provincial Sports Bureau, rugby is still in its infancy in our province. As a new sport, the popularity of rugby in our province is not high at present, and there is still much room for development.
It is understood that the provincial men’s rugby team was established in 2011, and this team entered the finals of the National Games for the first time in 2017. In 2015, the provincial women’s football team was established, and the results came from behind. After winning the fifth place in the National Games in 2021, it won the championship in the national rugby sevens championship in 2022.
The formation of provincial teams and their successive achievements have promoted the continuous development of rugby in our province. Especially after the annual provincial rugby championship and provincial rugby championship were held in 2015, some districts and cities in our province, such as Baoding, Shijiazhuang, Handan, Tangshan, Qinhuangdao and Cangzhou, have also set up municipal rugby teams. Baoding, Shijiazhuang, Handan, Qinhuangdao and Tangshan teamed up to participate in all four events in the youth football competition held in the 16th provincial sports meeting this year.
Teenagers are the new force in football. In recent years, some schools in our province have also begun to actively promote the popularization of rugby. At present, more than 10 schools, including Baoding No.7 Middle School, Shijiazhuang No.13 Middle School, Handan Weixian No.1 Middle School, Tangshan Luannan No.4 Middle School, Qinhuangdao Funing No.4 Middle School, Xingtai Shahe No.2 Middle School and Langfang Xianghe No.1 Middle School, carry out rugby training all the year round, and have made their mark in some provincial and national competitions.
"But overall, there are still not many football reserve talents in our province." Tang Yu introduced that at present, there are only more than 800 registered rugby players in our province. Due to the lack of reserve talents and coaches, the provincial women’s football team has only 18 players, which has not yet reached the normal number of players in the same level of football teams in China. Moreover, the provincial football team has not yet established an echelon, which is not conducive to the long-term development of the sport.
How to accelerate the development of rugby in our province?
"Without Bole, there will be no swift horse. How can you choose a good seedling without a good coach?" Tang Yu introduced that even the provincial teams have long faced the problem of lack of coaches because of the small number of domestic football coaches. At present, most grass-roots football coaches in our province are "half-way monks". In addition, the selection of rugby sports is not wide and the requirements for athletes’ various qualities are high, so grass-roots coaches are easy to miss good seeds when selecting materials. In addition, the number of colleges and universities recruiting rugby special students in China is relatively small, which also discourages many students who intend to engage in this sport.
"The development of rugby in China is relatively late, and there are currently less than 10 provinces that carry out rugby all the year round, which has somewhat affected the development of rugby in our province, but it is also an opportunity." Tang Yu said.
Rugby was confirmed to return to the Olympic stage in 2009, and China established the national rugby team in 2013. In 2021, the China women’s rugby team won the seventh place at the Tokyo Olympic Games, which was the first time that the China rugby team made its debut at the Olympic Games.
In order to make a difference in this Olympic project, our province has made efforts to break the bottleneck of development in recent years.
Committed to solving the problem of "who will teach", our province has vigorously carried out coach training and introduced a foreign teacher for the provincial women’s football team. "An important purpose of inviting foreign teachers is to hope that provincial athletes can learn better coaching experience, and it is fundamental to build our own team of coaches." Tang Yu said that at present, several old players in the provincial team have begun to transform into coaches. After the National Games in 2025, the provincial team will also have a group of old players retired, which is expected to become the coaches of the provincial team and the municipal team.
Focusing on strengthening the leadership of the event, our province has continuously improved the rugby tournament system. At present, the Provincial Games, the Provincial Rugby Championship and the Provincial Rugby Championship have two groups, A and B, which are aimed at high school and junior high school athletes respectively. Starting from next year, a group C under the age of 12 will be added to the provincial competitions, so that primary school students can also participate.
The China Women’s Rugby Team won the gold medal in the Hangzhou Asian Games, which will also become a booster for the development of rugby in our province. "Liao Jiuli participated in the Asian Games, and many media came to interview and report, which will greatly enhance the influence of rugby in our province." Tang Yu believes that after the Asian Games, more teenagers in our province will like rugby.
It is reported that our province has set short-term goals and long-term goals in rugby. The short-term goal is that the men’s team will strive to enter the top six in the 2025 National Games, and the women’s team will strive to win medals. The long-term goal is to popularize and lay a solid foundation, and at the same time build a team of athletes, coaches and referees, and strive to make Hebei rugby enter the first phalanx in the country as soon as possible.

Look at the returning player? Brazilian fans dislike Gaunt: Don’t come back if you join the Chinese nationality

As a naturalized player in Chinese football, Garatt has dismissed the contract with the Guangzhou team and returned to his hometown of Brazil to find a new playing opportunity. There is no exact news about whether Gaunt will retain Chinese nationality in the future. However, for the return of the former Brazilian international, many Brazilian fans have unexpectedly "interest".

Earlier, it was reported that Gaunt attracted the attention of the Brazilian Furniture, including Barona, Flaglo, and Palmeras. But in the Corinthian forum, most fans oppose the team’s introduction of Gaunt.

Some fans said: "Gaurat used to be a good player before, but now his knee cartilage has been removed. It is difficult for this player to play high -level football in the future. When I left, Parmeras was like a pig who hit the Universiade because they got rid of this high salary burden. "

There are also fans believe that since Gaunt has joined Chinese, it seems a bit awkward to play in Barn: "He used to be absent for more than five months due to injuries. And he has joined the Chinese nationality. He is equivalent to wasting a place for foreign aid. "" I don’t know what he is now. I mean, don’t he already have a Chinese state? In Brazil, he is a foreign aid, so what does it mean to come back? "

In addition to doubts about the problem of Gaurart’s nationality, more fans are not optimistic about Gaunt’s competitive status today. "Even from an optimistic perspective, Gaunt is mostly similar to the current Dordinho, and it will even be even worse. When he returned from China, his performance had begun to decline. And say. "" God bless you not sign Gaunt, he can no longer play in Brazil. Now he is no longer three years ago. "
