The sudden launch of the 16-inch MacBook Pro is a major setback for Apple in the cold winter of the laptop

Suddenly, the 16-inch MacBook Pro replaced its 15-inch predecessor and made it onto Apple’s official website.

Beijing time on the evening of November 13, Apple in the absence of advance maintenance of the official website, the same as AirPods Pro, suddenly launched a 16-inch MacBook Pro, the previous rumors will only be late, not absent.

Coincidentally, in May this year, Apple just updated the 15-inch MacBook Pro, and after a lapse of six months, Apple once again significantly updated this product line, more frequently than in previous years.

To say who can experience this frequency more, it is better to buy a 15-inch MacBook Pro two days ago. Because compared to 15-inch, 16-inch MacBook Pro is more worthy of professional users.

Although the starting price of the 16-inch MacBook Pro is as high as 18,999 yuan, this does not stop its target users.

Looking at the body from the outside, like the 15-inch, the 16-inch MacBook Pro is available in silver and space gray. Not much has changed in appearance, the biggest change is in its screen.

Open the computer, the 16-inch display screen has a resolution of 3072×1920, ppi is 226, and the maximum brightness is 500 nits. The P3 wide color gamut and original color display are retained. As a comparison, the previous 15-inch resolution was 2880×1800 and ppi was 220.

Although the display size has become larger, the display effect of the screen is more delicate, and the supported colors have also been upgraded from "million colors" to "million colors". This display is the best in the current MacBook series, and it is obviously more desired by Pro users.

The display screen has become larger, but Apple has not changed the fuselage much. The length, width and height of the 16-inch are 35.79cm, 26.59cm, and 1.62cm respectively, and the weight is 2kg, while the 15-inch is 34.93cm, 24.07cm, 1.55cm, and the weight is 1.83kg. Almost a 16-inch screen is stuffed into the 15-inch fuselage.

For Pro users, this increase in size and weight is negligible.

By the way, the 16-inch MacBook Pro should have a higher screen ratio. This is also the high screen ratio and narrow bezels we pursue on mobile phones.

The camera in the center of the screen has been upgraded to a Face ID camera as rumored, and it is also a FaceTime camera that supports 720p.

In 2015, Apple, which pursued lightness, added a butterfly keyboard to the MacBook at that time. But this upgrade has been criticized by consumers for its high failure rate and frequent after-sales service. Most importantly, the butterfly keyboard has a short keystroke and a hard typing feel, which is not conducive to long-term coding.

Although Apple later improved it, the effect was still unsatisfactory.

The 16-inch MacBook Pro finally replaced the butterfly keyboard with a scissor keyboard. This is a signal that future MacBook products may be replaced by scissor keyboards, and we officially say goodbye to butterfly keyboards.

However, this scissor keyboard has been optimized by Apple, and its key travel is 1mm. Apple calls it a "second-controlled keyboard". This may also be one of the reasons for its slightly thicker body. As for its typing experience and mute effect, it needs to be actually known. But one thing is for sure, it must be better than the butterfly keyboard.

Key positions have also changed. From top to bottom, the first is that the function area of the Touch Bar is more distinct. The exit key (esc) and the power key (also the fingerprint key) are isolated from the touch area. At the same time, the former is changed from the touch key to the physical key.

This change will solve the "accidental touch" problem that Touch Bar has been criticized by users before, and improve the efficiency of blind typing. For example, pressing the power button but pressing Siri, pressing exit but not easy to find the position.

Further down is the optimization of the arrow keys. The size of the left and right arrow keys is finally no longer the same height as the up and down keys, but has become the same size button. Now you won’t be so awkward to press.

The speakers on either side of the keyboard have been increased to six, still three microphones. Compared with the old model, it will have stronger stereo effect. Apple claims that it offers dual vibration low-efficiency subwoofers for better bass effect.

After talking about external changes, let’s talk about internal improvement.

In fact, this is the last point to mention. As a representative of the top MacBook products, the 16-inch MacBook Pro was born for professional users.

The processor of the 16-inch MacBook Pro starts from the Intel 9th generation Core 6-core i7 processor, and the maximum optional 8-core i9 processor can reach 5.0GHz. Its performance is 2.1 times that of the 4-core MacBook Pro.

At the same time, Apple upgraded the heat dissipation system for this hot processor, officially claiming that its heat sink has increased by 35%, and the maximum continuous power of the MacBook Pro can therefore be increased by up to 12W.

The biggest change comes from the graphics processing unit. The standard and high-end versions of the 16-inch MacBook Pro are equipped with an AMD Radeon Pro 5300M graphics processing unit and a 5500 graphics processing unit, respectively. The standard 4GB video memory is available, and the maximum option is 8GB. This upgrade allows professionals to handle better image work.

Take the common Final Cut Pro X as an example, its rendering speed can be improved by an astonishing 90% compared to the 15-inch MacBook Pro. Therefore, Apple claims that this change can improve the performance of the previous Radeon Pro 560X by 2.1 times.

On the other hand, Apple has also raised the upper limit of options. The storage of the 16-inch MacBook Pro starts from 512 GB solid state drive, and the high-end version is 1TB, with a maximum optional 8TB solid state drive. The memory also starts with 16GB DDR4, but the maximum optional 64GB.

With such powerful performance and storage, there must be a better battery life. The 16-inch MacBook Pro boosts the battery to 100 watt-hours, and comes standard with a 96W charger. As a comparison, the 15-inch MacBook Pro is 83.6 watt-hours and the charger is 87W. Therefore, its battery life has also been increased from 10 hours to 11 hours (calculated by Apple’s wireless network browsing standard).

Other than that, there are no more changes to the 16-inch MacBook Pro. Therefore, it is a bit of a pity in terms of network connection. The 16-inch MacBook Pro does not yet support Wi-Fi 6.

Oh, no, and the price. The 16-inch MacBook Pro starts at 18,999 yuan, with a 2.6GHz i7 processor, 8GB + 512GB. The specific launch date has yet to be announced.

There is no doubt that with the development of the web, video content has become more and more popular. Apple is catering to more and more professional creative workers with products, especially those who have a high demand for images.

Although this group of people is so small, Apple’s product power is enough to make the notebook industry enter its twilight years, which is very rare in the industry.

"Buy or not?"

In Apple’s promotion, the 16-inch MacBook Pro is called "a studio that runs with you." The above problem is naturally solved.

This starting price may be able to buy two laptops for ordinary people, but it is a professional tool suitable for photographers, video workers, game developers and other practitioners who are used to macOS. Whether it is suitable for you depends on your needs and budget.

The light of domestic products is coming? Meizu 18 series is all Flyme 9, eight songs designed!

Recently, my friend asked me to recommend a 5G mobile phone to him, and I did not hesitate to recommend the Meizu 18 series. This series of products is outstanding in strength and comes standard with the Flyme 9 system. Only high-quality mobile phones like this are probably worth pursuing.

New shape, small screen full of blood

In terms of appearance design, the Meizu 18 series has obvious differences from previous versions, such as the return of the rear camera group to the popular vertical layout, but the small screen design that Meizu 18 boldly adopts is also expected by everyone. The screen is only 6.2 inches, which is very suitable for small-handed female users. I believe that small screen enthusiasts can’t hold back their inner love. At the same time, the punching design of the front-facing camera of the screen is in the middle position, and the symmetrical design brings better visual effect. Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder don’t have to worry.

From the side, the front of the Meizu 18 series is designed with a four-curved surface, and the arc of the border transition is also more soft. Coupled with the AG matte back cover, the design of the details is more perfect, making the Meizu 18 series feel even better. Even the Meizu 18 Pro with a 6.7-inch screen is comfortable to hold.

Top chip, excellent performance

In terms of core configuration, the Meizu 18 series is equipped with a 5nm Snapdragon 888 processor, and the Adreno 660 GPU core is integrated on the nail-sized chip. In the current market, it can be called the most powerful flagship processor, plus the full blood version of LPDDR5 and UFS 3.1 flash memory, the performance has been upgraded again. Another domestic performance flagship was born, and the performance surpassed many peers, which was widely recognized by everyone.

As for the battery configuration, the Meizu 18 Pro is equipped with a 4500mAh battery, which supports 40W wireless overcharging. The battery life is still good, and the charging speed is also very fast. As for the battery capacity of the Meizu 18:4000mAh, which is OK. In addition, the mSmart 5G solution that performed well last year has also been upgraded to 2.0, adding innovative Wi-Fi 6E technology to make the 5G network faster and more stable. I think these configurations are very outstanding in flagship mobile phones.

Personally, Meizu 18 Pro is the most powerful thing is to take pictures. This phone is equipped with a 44 million pixel front-facing camera, which is beyond everyone’s expectations. The configuration is too high to be comparable to the flagship rear camera, and the rear camera is equipped with a more pure night shooting effect. Samsung GN1, Sony IMX616 ultra-wide-angle macro, OV08A10 telephoto combination, and added functions such as extreme night scene, night scene can also easily shoot a professional feeling. Looking at Meizu 18, it also has high-quality camera hardware, 6400W super anti-shake full-scene imaging system, which is worthy of recognition.

Three zero system Flyme 9, safe and worry-free

In terms of security, Meizu 18 series has achieved the most in the industry. In terms of privacy and security protection, Flyme 9 has added four new security protection magic weapons. It completely refuses to shoot, eavesdrop, and track. Flyme 9 is no weaker than Apple iOS in terms of security. The system experience of mobile phones is not ignored. From 0 advertisements, 0 pushes, 0 pre-installed three zero experience, we have also seen the improvement of Meizu, which is also the biggest highlight of Flyme 9.

From the overall performance, the Meizu 18 series can be called the most powerful flagship in China, especially with the support of Flyme 9, this title is even more worthy of the name and is worth recommending to friends and family.

The delivery staff received "safe delivery".

Recently, the traffic police detachment of Fuxin Public Security Bureau, the Fuxin Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League, and the Fuxin Branch of China Mobile brought "traffic safety takeout" to the takeaways. The police combined the work characteristics of the takeaways and common traffic violations to remind the takeaways not to run red lights, retrograde or speed in order to grab time during the delivery process, and always keep in mind safety first.

Let’s go Eight "Anyang" subway trains entered Tianjin, Beijing and Zhengzhou.

  On April 18th, at the subway station of Hexi District Cultural Center in Tianjin, the "Anyang" subway train launched by Anyang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government officially entered Metro Line 6. Passengers on this line will enjoy the charming scenery of Damei Anyang in the carriage. On the same day, 8 "Anyang" subway trains in Tianjin 2, Beijing 4 and Zhengzhou 2 were started simultaneously.

  At 10 o’clock in the morning, Yuan Jiajian, the mayor of Anyang, announced that eight "Anyang" subway trains in Beijing, Tianjin and Zhengzhou had started! An "Anyang" subway train loaded with Anyang cultural tourism elements leaves on Tianjin Metro Line 6. At the same time, Beijing Metro Lines 1, 7 and 9, Zhengzhou Metro Lines 1 and 5 and Tianjin Metro Line 1 welcomed the "Anyang" special train.

  Boarding the "Anyang" subway train, the reporter saw that each carriage had a different theme, showing the text and map introductions of more than 10 famous scenic spots such as Yinxu, Hongqi Canal, Linzhou Taihang Grand Canyon, Tangyin Yuefei Temple and Mashi Manor. In order to attract more tourists to Anyang, the departure ceremony also presented a "big gift package" for Huimin to the public. In the "Anyang" subway train, a WeChat QR code can be seen everywhere. The public can simply scan the QR code and get a ticket for Anyang A-level key tourist attractions for free. "Forward this QR code to the WeChat circle of friends. When others see it, they can also scan the code to get free tickets." Xue Wenming, director of Anyang Culture, Radio, Film, Sports and Tourism Bureau, introduced.

  "The opening of the’ Anyang’ subway train this time is not only an important measure to facilitate citizens’ travel, but also a concrete action for Anyang to integrate into the coordinated development strategy of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei. In the next step, we will continue to promote the in-depth cooperation of cultural tourism between the two places to realize resource sharing, complementary advantages, market interaction and common development. "Yuan Gujian said.

  Li Zhuo, member of the party group and deputy director of Tianjin Culture and Tourism Bureau, said that Anyang and Tianjin are both national historical and cultural cities. In the past two years, there have been more and more cultural exchanges and closer friendly cooperation. The promotion of Anyang’s cultural tourism resources through a series of activities such as the launching ceremony of the "Anyang" subway train will promote more and deeper cultural exchanges between the two places, attract many Tianjin tourism enterprises and citizens to experience different customs in Damei Anyang, and promote in-depth cooperation and win-win development of cultural tourism between the two places.

  "I only knew that there was Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Anyang before. Today, I learned so many tourism resources in Anyang by subway. I must take my children to Anyang to have a look!" Ms. Wang, a citizen of Tianjin, took out her mobile phone to scan the code and drew a free ticket to the Taihang Grand Canyon in Linzhou. "She said that she would forward the WeChat circle of friends and invite friends and relatives to go together.

  After the "Anyang" subway train started, the relevant departments of Anyang City and the representatives of scenic spots also distributed small gifts and tickets to passengers in the carriages.

How should the new policy of online car-hailing start with controversy and end with consensus?

  CCTV News:Following the exposure draft of the four cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou yesterday, Chongqing, Hangzhou and other places have also followed up quickly, and will make specific provisions on local online car pricing, driver qualifications, vehicle qualifications, etc.

  Driver’s household registration and vehicle license plates have become hot topics for netizens to discuss

  After the release of the detailed exposure draft, it immediately caused a heated discussion. In the message area of the CCTV News WeChat public platform, netizens discussed the hottest, mainly focusing on issues such as ride safety, driver’s household registration and vehicle license plates.Some netizens believe that the restrictions on driver registration and license plates in Beijing and Shanghai are too strict, and the top priority should be to ensure the safety of passengers.

  Phantastishch:I think these conditions must first ensure the safety of ride-hailing customers, which is a major premise. Is it possible to require drivers who engage in online ride-hailing to go to the local public security department for the record first, which is a constraint on them.

  Empty Valley Orchid:Personally, I don’t think it is necessary to have a household registration and a vehicle in this city, but the quality of the driver should be good and the integrity should be high.

  At the same time, there are also netizens who believe that a large number of online car-hailing vehicles are located outside the country, causing illegal parking and charging disputes to continue.

  Mr. lonely:A local license plate should be required. In addition, the driver should be strictly reviewed to see if there is any illegal record. I personally feel that after all, in big cities, if you have a driving experience of less than 2 to 3 years, don’t come out to pick people up!

  Back to nature. : I think the online car-hailing should be from this city, and the car in this city. In this case, personal information is easier to understand, and even if there is anything wrong, it is not so difficult to deal with!

  Recently, when the Shanghai traffic law enforcement department rectified the chaos of online car-hailing, it was found that in the Hongqiao transportation hub area, the three online car-hailing platforms, Didi, Uber, and Yidao, all had lax checks and acquiesced in the situation of drivers and foreign-branded vehicles who did not have operating qualifications.

  In the vicinity of Dawang Road in Beijing, at night, online taxis waiting for orders and picking up passengers queue up with some carpooling vehicles to the suburbs, stretching for hundreds of meters, accounting for two of the four lanes. Among them, online taxis with foreign license plates also account for a considerable proportion.

 

  Beijing Transportation Commission: "Beijing People and Beijing Vehicles" Consider Population, Congestion and Air Quality

  On the one hand, many people think that the rules are too strict. If implemented as such, it will inevitably lead to a significant decrease in the number of qualified online car-hailing drivers (taking Shanghai as an example, there are data showing that there are only more than 10,000 online car-hailing drivers with Shanghai household registration, and only a fraction of the 410,000 drivers who have been activated), which will lead to rising prices and affect the convenience of travel. On the other hand, it is also impossible to ignore that since the establishment of the online car-hailing platform, various problems have emerged one after another, especially the fact that although the car-hailing in other places has brought convenience to some people, it has also objectively exacerbated the congestion in some areas.

  In response to why "Beijing people, Beijing cars" are required in the exposure draft of Beijing’s online car-hailing implementation rules, the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission explained today that online car-hailing,This is determined by considering factors such as the city’s population, urban traffic congestion, and air quality.Some experts said that the "Beijing People and Beijing Car" was formulated with full consideration of Beijing’s needs for employment and population relief, and should be affirmed.

  Around the net about car exposure draft centralized introduction, which revealed those important signals? As the net about car market ultimate participants, how should we participate in the formulation of policy?

  CCTV Review

  Strict management of online car-hailing "savage growth" stage will end

  With the introduction of the new net car exposure draft, although it has not been officially implemented, it has made the entire net car field face new policy thresholds.A series of regulations, from local hukou and local cars to the large number of new cars, all suggest that the current new policy may be stricter on the management of online car-hailing. This may mark the end of the stage of "wild growth" of online car-hailing.

Map/Visual China

  In the past few years, under the trend of "Internet +" and "sharing economy", the online car-hailing market has flourished from scratch, and a number of powerful enterprises have emerged. At the same time, with a large number of subsidies, cheap and fast online car-hailing has also changed the travel habits of many people.

  However, due to the fact that online car-hailing is a new thing in the market, the management of this field is relatively lagging behind, so there are also some problems in the market. For example, there are large loopholes in the standards of people and vehicles, and lax security measures. The management of these aspects has stayed at the level of internal norms of each company, and has not yet formed a unified rule for the whole industry. The introduction of the new policy is to make up for the shortcomings of the policy by summarizing the practice of the online car-hailing industry.

  The New Deal should be "economic fast", not black humor

  Regulating and supervising new things is a necessary way. The question is how to regulate and supervise? At present, the whole society has reached a consensus on some general aspects. For example, making transportation more efficient and safer through Internet platforms, reducing congestion, reducing carbon emissions, and relieving the functions of core cities. No matter whether it is the regulators in Beijing and Shanghai, or the people living in these places and the online car-hailing platforms, they will not object to these.

  Therefore, the New Deal certainly cannot go against these. But from the current exposure draft,In the setting of online ride-hailing management, many standards are higher than those of taxis. This can certainly reduce the impact on the traditional industry, but in this way, whether online ride-hailing can continue to maintain its economic and fast advantages will be put into question, and online ride-hailing platforms will become more and more like taxi companies. Passengers originally hoped that the development of online ride-hailing could force taxi companies to reform, but if the result turned into online ride-hailing "being recruited", it would become a black humor in the development of the Internet economy.

 

  In addition, the restrictions on displacement and vehicle wheelbase in the exposure draft are also considered to be inconsistent with the concept of green travel.

  Thirdly, there is also a lot of controversy over whether online ride-hailing drivers must have local household registration. After all, many places (including Beijing and Shanghai itself) are implementing the residence permit system, and gradually realizing that the public services enjoyed by the residence permit are consistent with those of registered residents.

  Finally, the provisions on ride-hailing in the exposure draft are basically determined to be newly added operating vehicles, rather than encouraging private car owners to engage in ride-hailing or ride-sharing business. This essentially solves the travel problem by increasing the operation of vehicles, which is contrary to the essence of the sharing economy. Because the sharing economy itself solves the travel problem of more people by improving the operating efficiency of existing vehicles.

  Only by asking the people for policies can we find the greatest common denominator of the interests of all parties

  Judging from the feedback from all parties on the exposure draft, the controversy is relatively large, which is not a bad thing. In essence, these disputes should only be differences in the ways in which the parties achieve the common goal, rather than the pursuit of the goal itself. And this goal is to facilitate travel, travel safely, and reduce congestion. To solve this problem, we need to really listen to public opinion and find the intersection of interests between the parties after full controversy.

  More than two months ago, the Ministry of Transport officially issued the "Guiding Opinions on Deepening Reform and Further Promoting the Healthy Development of the Taxi Industry" and the "Interim Measures for the Management of Online Booking Taxi Business Services". The legalization of online car-hailing has ushered in unanimous praise from all parties. This is also the result of collecting public opinion after 9 months. The exposure draft released in October last year was also criticized by the society at the beginning, and the jokers jumped out to complain. However, the rules issued after extensive consultation finally relaxed some standards based on actual feedback, and gained recognition in the design of innovative systems to give play to local autonomy, as well as the "tailor-made" standardized development of online car-hailing.

  At present, the details of online car-hailing, including Beijing and Shanghai, are also soliciting public opinion, hoping to fully absorb the opinions of all parties in the decision-making process. Start with dispute and end with consensus. This is the result of a win-win situation for all parties. Written by CCTV Commentary, Wang Yahong

Evergrande was officially ordered to be liquidated, how big was the impact?

Today, China Hengda (03333.HK), Hengda Automobile (00708.HK), Hengda Property (06666.HK) suspended trading. As of the time of suspension, the three companies fell by 20.87%, 18.21% and 2.50% respectively.

On the news, the liquidation case of China Evergrande was re-heard in the Hong Kong High Court. The judge said that China Evergrande’s workout plan lacked progress, and the company was insolvent. It officially ordered Evergrande to be wound up, and held a hearing this afternoon to deal with the regulatory order and issue written reasons.

According to the Securities Times, a liquidation petition is a common means of debt collection under the Hong Kong legal system. The court issues a liquidation order, which declares that the company has entered bankruptcy and liquidation procedures. This means that the Hong Kong capital markets have ushered in the largest bankruptcy and liquidation of a real estate company. China Evergrande, which has debts of 2.40 trillion yuan, has been subject to creditors’ application for liquidation. In order to delay the liquidation, it has repeatedly expressed the preparation of a new workout plan. However, due to the slow progress of the workout plan, it was eventually ordered to be wound up by the court.

In fact, there are already signs that China Evergrande is about to receive a winding-up order. According to the official website of the Hong Kong Judiciary, Judge Chan Jing-fen is scheduled to hold a hearing on a potential regulatory order on the afternoon of January 29. Once such a regulatory order takes effect, it means that the court will oversee the winding-up process, which may involve the appointment of a liquidator.

The winding-up hearing has been postponed several times before

I was still trying to liquidate my debt last week

For Evergrande, the way to avoid a winding-up petition is to complete the workout. In order to win the approval of the restructuring plan, China Evergrande’s winding-up hearing has been delayed for a long time, with a total of seven delays.

The Hong Kong High Court had previously decided to postpone December 4, 2023 as the last time for China Evergrande’s liquidation hearing. However, at that time, China Evergrande was granted another extension time after the applicant suddenly said that it would not ask the court to issue a liquidation order and did not object to China Evergrande’s application for adjournment.

The winding-up order, which may be tied to the entry of new applicants, has been reported to include a winding-up petition at the hearing by a special panel of major overseas bondholders, a provisional group of creditors holding more than $2 billion in offshore notes secured by Evergrande and its backers. Industry lawyers say the move increases the chances of an immediate winding-up order.

Evergrande had been pushing for a restructuring plan to avoid liquidation. However, at the end of September and the beginning of October 2023, with Evergrande Real Estate and Xu Jiayin being investigated successively, China Evergrande could not meet the eligibility for the issuance of new bills, resulting in the failure to implement the restructuring plan that all parties had been working hard to promote. Since then, Evergrande has not disclosed a new workout plan.

China Evergrande tried to come up with a last-minute workout to avert a possible imminent liquidation before a liquidation hearing at the end of December. The plan is understood to include converting some of the debt held by foreign creditors into equity in the company and two Hong Kong-listed subsidiaries, and repaying the remainder with non-tradable "certificates" backed by foreign assets. However, creditors are widely seen as unlikely to accept Evergrande’s new plan, given the low likelihood of debt recovery and growing concerns about Evergrande’s future.

Just a few days ago, on January 25, the company also announced the sale of the interests of a project company. According to the announcement, Hengda Real Estate Group Guangdong East Co., Ltd. (the transferor), a subsidiary of China Evergrande, signed an agreement with (among others) the transferee, Shantou Hengyao Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., the transferor will transfer its 65% interest in the project company (Shantou Hengming Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.) to the transferee for a total consideration of 137.60 million yuan. As part of the transaction, the project company will forgive part of the debt of the transferor and its contacts to it, amounting to 376 million yuan. In the announcement, Hengda stated that the sale will revitalize the group’s projects, promote the resumption of work and production of the surviving projects, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of project investors, creditors, and homebuyers.

China Hengda recently disclosed that as of the end of November 2023, Hengda Real Estate involved a total of about 316.391 billion yuan of unliquidated maturing debts; at the end of October this figure was 301.363 billion yuan. In addition, as of the end of November 2023, Hengda Real Estate overdue business tickets accumulated about 2055.37 billion yuan.

In terms of litigation, as of the end of November 2023, Hengda Real Estate had a total of 2053 pending proceedings with a target amount of more than 30 million yuan, and the total amount of the target amount was about 490.069 billion yuan; at the end of October, these two figures were 2002 and 470.755 billion yuan respectively. During November 2023, Hengda Real Estate added 101 pieces of information to be executed compared with the end of October, and the total amount of new executions was about 13.048 billion yuan.

Evergrande real estate 2022 annual report shows that the company’s total liabilities 1.833819 trillion yuan, total assets 1.468557 trillion yuan, has been insolvent.

Hengda Sean: I have done my best, I am very sorry

According to the 21st Century Business Herald, in response, China Evergrande Executive Director, CEO, and Evergrande Group Executive President Sean responded that the Group and China Evergrande have made every effort to defend the petition for overseas liquidation. Previously, the Group supported and urged China Evergrande and its advisory team to continue to conduct comprehensive and in-depth exchanges with various creditors, adhere to the principles of marketization, rule of law, and internationalization to treat domestic and foreign creditors fairly, actively promote overseas workouts, and maximize and fairly protect the maximum interests of domestic and foreign creditors based on the actual situation of the company.

Sean said that although we have been working towards repairing and improving asset value and business vitality, objectively, the group’s operation is facing huge difficulties, resources are extremely limited, and the preliminary voting of creditors has not met expectations. Hengda Real Estate has been investigated by the China Securities Supervision Commission, and the group’s actual controllers have been taken compulsory measures according to law for suspected illegal crimes. The company also believes that it cannot meet the relevant legal conditions for key aspects of overseas workout. These circumstances make various uncertainties continue to intensify, so that the workout plan is ultimately difficult to implement. Today’s court ruling is contrary to our original intention. We can only express our best efforts and regret for this.

Next, the Group will face difficulties and problems, take all legal compliance measures, and steadily promote the normal operation of the Group’s business on the premise of protecting the legitimate rights and interests of domestic and foreign creditors.

Sean stressed that the subject of the overseas liquidation order issued by the court this time is China Evergrande, which is listed in Hong Kong. At present, the management and operation system of Evergrande Group and other domestic and foreign subsidiaries as independent legal entities remains unchanged. The group will still strive to do everything possible to ensure the stability of domestic business and operation, steadily advance key tasks such as guaranteeing the delivery of buildings, and maintain the quality of property services. It will still make every effort to ensure the smooth progress of risk resolution and asset disposal. It will still try its best to advance all work fairly in accordance with the law. 

Liquidation or impact on foreign assets

Expert: Guaranteed building has legal protection

According to the HKFC, under the relevant laws of Hong Kong, the court may issue a winding-up order against a company once it is satisfied that one of the requirements set out in section 177 (1) of the Companies Winding-up Ordinance (including the company’s insolvency) has been met. The court will take into account the wishes of the creditors and the principles of justice and fairness.

During the compulsory winding-up period, all proceedings against the company and actions by creditors are automatically suspended unless the court grants permission for such proceedings to begin or continue. In addition, the powers of the directors will be suspended, while the court-supervised liquidator will be responsible for recovering and realising the company’s assets, investigating the company’s affairs, adjudicating creditors’ claims, and distributing to creditors from the winding-up estate. Once the company is wound up, the liquidator will apply to the court to release the liquidator from liability and dissolve the company.

According to the Daily Economic News, a senior lawyer said that the liquidation of China Evergrande will not directly affect the domestic subsidiaries of Evergrande Group in the short term, such as the most concerned Hengda Real Estate. The bankruptcy liquidation of China Evergrande will not directly lead to the bankruptcy of Hengda Real Estate. At most, the equity of Hengda Real Estate held by China Evergrande may be disposed of during the bankruptcy liquidation process.

In addition, within the territory, home buyers have the statutory "super priority" according to law. On April 20 last year, the Supreme People’s Court issued the "Reply of the Supreme People’s Court on the Protection of Consumer Rights of Commercial Housing" (Fa Shi [2023] No. 1) (referred to as the "Reply"), which makes it clear that if a consumer of commercial housing purchases a house for the purpose of living and has paid the full price, and claims that his claim for the delivery of the house has priority over the right to payment for the price of the construction project, the mortgage and other claims, the people’s court shall support it. At the same time, the Supreme People’s Court also pointed out that in the case that the house cannot be delivered and there is no possibility of actual delivery, if the consumer of commercial housing claims that the right to return the price has priority over the right to payment for the construction project price, the mortgage and other claims, the people’s court shall support it.

According to the 21st Century Business Herald, a legal expert familiar with the situation said that, in general, as long as the debt risk is resolved in accordance with the law and regulations, the guaranteed building is guaranteed by law, which is the saying that "the sky cannot fall". The court’s ruling means that although China Evergrande has made every effort to defend the liquidation and promote the workout, it is still being liquidated due to its long-term accumulation of serious defects, and may eventually lead to the dissolution of the overseas company. Although there are still cases in history that the company can try to revoke the liquidation order by restarting the workout procedure under the leadership of the liquidator, the current probability for China Evergrande is only theoretical. 

"A fair, ordinary and objective view of China Evergrande’s liquidation"

 

According to the 21st Century Business Herald, a senior market observer pointed out that there are some wrong views in the current public opinion field, confusing Hengda’s long-term financial fraud and other illegal and illegal or even criminal problems with the accumulation of risks into a common problem of real estate enterprises, and even trying to distort Hengda’s risk into not supporting the rescue of private enterprises. These wrong views have obvious flaws in the arguments and arguments.

The above-mentioned observers believe that the market and public opinion should treat private enterprises and state-owned enterprises equally, and distinguish between "good children" who abide by the law and "bad children" who violate laws and regulations or even commit crimes on the basis of caring for the development of enterprises and maintaining the space for fault-tolerant innovation. Our country supports and encourages the development of private enterprises, which is to prevent the situation of bad money driving out good money in a timely manner, and to maintain a good business environment, let alone allow the "bad children" to develop brutally and bully the "good children".

In the market observer’s opinion, Evergrande’s problem is a "bad boy" problem, which means that we should view the company’s suspected violations of laws and regulations and the liquidation of Evergrande Group’s overseas entities with fairness, common sense and objectivity.

On the one hand, those who have stepped on the legal red line and challenged the bottom line of legal fairness and justice, whether the company is booming or winding up and going bankrupt, there is no exception, let alone "too big to fail". For China Evergrande, even if some creditors are willing to take risks to promote the successful restructuring, I am afraid that it is not the "gold medal" for the company to escape legal responsibility at home and abroad, and will be held accountable according to law.

On the other hand, the Hong Kong court ordered the liquidation of one of the overseas listed entities. Being liquidated in the relatively mature Hong Kong market is generally one of the inevitable results that Evergrande Group will face for a long time to expand aggressively, accumulate risks, and even violate laws and regulations. It is in line with market practice and is also expected.

In addition, Hengda Group’s main business is located in China. According to the current comprehensive information, the progress of Hengda’s construction projects is generally stable. According to industry sources familiar with the situation, Hengda’s housing delivery volume has approached 80%, and individual projects may be difficult. However, I believe that with the promotion of all parties, the housing delivery problem can eventually be properly resolved.

The market observer said that Hengda’s problem is indeed serious, but the market does not need to be overly anxious. On November 27, 2023, the eight departments of the state jointly issued 25 measures to support the private economy, which strongly reflects that we are constantly increasing our support for the private economy in terms of concept, system and implementation. At the same time, the judicial organs, regulatory authorities and the market are also constantly improving the punishment mechanism for enterprises and individuals who undermine market justice and fairness, violate laws and regulations and even commit crimes, so as to maintain a good environment for the development and growth of the private economy.

Didi says it has zero tolerance for the discrepancy between people and vehicles, and it is its duty to control illegal production

  Our reporter, Du Xiao 

  The intern of this newspaper, Liu Yanqing

  Recently, the person in charge of Didi’s access security publicly stated that the conservative estimate of the market size of online car-hailing black production reached 1 billion yuan.

  Didi also said that the phenomenon of "people do not match" is directly a permanent suspension of service processing. The current platform targets the average daily face verification of drivers to 4.30 million times, covering 100% of the total number of drivers’ out-of-the-car verification and in-trip sampling, and the monthly average manual sampling review 600,000 times. Despite possibly facing the strictest controls, some drivers still take risks.

  The Legal Daily reporter learned in the interview that at first, the illegal production of online car-hailing was mainly to register false driver accounts and receive orders to obtain platform subsidies. Later, some "vest cars" appeared in the development process of online car-hailing, that is, online car-hailing cars whose actual information does not match the registration information. However, with the increasing supervision and crackdown, the problem of black production of online car-hailing cars is gradually improving.

  Called a car and found that the information did not match

  Some passengers will not report

  According to Didi, "the latest information from Didi’s intelligence team shows that the quotation of the black industry’s plan to bypass the face has exceeded 2,000 yuan."

  After searching the Internet, the reporter found that relevant information such as registration can still be found, but the number is very small. Once contacted, the other party will ask to add WeChat for further details.

  "If you don’t have enough driving experience to register with the original license plate, change the foreign license plate to the local license plate, and solve the problem that the system does not send orders," a merchant offering online registration services said in the advertisement. The price of this service is 200 yuan.

  The reporter searched the other party’s public WeChat and found that the WeChat account could not be displayed abnormally, and then the other party provided another contact information. The other party told the reporter that the driving age is insufficient and cannot be handled, but the car age is over and the foreign license plate can be replaced with a local license plate. The average asking price is 1,000 yuan. "The 200 yuan price is just to attract buyers to come to consult."

  When asked whether they could guarantee that they would not be banned, the other party said that whether a normal car could be banned depended on whether it would be complained by passengers. If there were many complaints, the number would be banned, and if there were few complaints, it would not. False registrations pose a risk of being banned. Think carefully before registering.

  Regarding the issue of being banned, the other party also offered a trick: "Once the customer finds that there is a problem, he has to rely on his words to convince the customer, and if he can convince the customer, he will not be complained. Or when he is almost at the boarding location, he will call the customer again, divert the customer’s attention and make him not pay attention to the license plate, and then he will be fine."

  Another registered merchant who advertised on the forum told reporters that it is generally impossible to register if the driving age does not match, and the online car-hailing platform has stricter supervision on this. However, there are also individual online car-hailing platforms that can register if the driving age is not enough. Although the review also has driving age requirements, it can be operated in the background. Charge 200 yuan to help register and activate the account, and ensure that it is in compliance with the registration, there will be no risk of being banned, and access to the order pool to grab the reservation will cost extra.

  For passengers who encounter "people do not match", some people will not choose to report or complain.

  A female passenger told reporters that she placed an order through the platform, and when the car arrived, she found that the license plate number was not the one displayed when she placed the order.

  "At first I thought the driver was looking for the wrong person, but the driver explained to me that the platform had mistaken his information. The driver gave his mobile phone number to prove his identity, and other information displayed on the order was correct, so I got on the bus," the passenger said.

  Another passenger also encountered a similar situation. He told the reporter that the waiting car did not match the information of the called car, but the driver said that it was his friend who took the order, and he came on behalf of the friend because of something temporary. If you are not at ease, you can place a new order. For safety reasons, the passenger chose to place a new order.

  "It’s not credible to get the wrong information." Hu Ping (a pseudonym), who has been working as a part-time online ride-hailing driver since 2016, told reporters that if there is indeed an error in the registration of information, it is more difficult to correct the information, because the customer service is usually busy and cannot take care of it.

  "Whether the information is true or not has a big impact on the driver. Once the passenger complains about this, the platform will block the driver," Hu Ping said. "When registering a driver’s account on the online ride-hailing platform, you need to upload a driver’s license, vehicle driving license, ID card, etc. As long as the information is true and the certificate is valid, the review can basically be passed within three to five working days."

  There are many hidden dangers of fake accounts

  The compliance process needs to be accelerated

  It is understood that the Guangdong police had previously announced the top ten cyber security cases in 2017, among which the "Didi black product" case attracted attention. The police revealed that there were hundreds of thousands of accounts involved, and the amount involved was as high as tens of millions of yuan.

  Zhao Zhanzhan, a special researcher at the Intellectual Property Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law, believes that online car-hailing black production involves issues such as the sale of personal information and vehicle information. At present, the supervision is already very strict. The reason why online car-hailing black production exists is because of market demand and profitability, coupled with some deficiencies in the management of online car-hailing platforms, which are exploited by criminals.

  "Drivers registering fake accounts will bring safety hazards to passengers. On the one hand, they avoid the safety review of the platform, and on the other hand, they will increase the risk of personal harm to passengers. For example, some people may want to engage in illegal and criminal activities, some people may not be qualified to drive, and some people may not be skilled in driving." Zhao Zhanzhi said.

  Fu Weigang, a researcher at the Shanghai Institute of Finance and Law, believes that in recent years, regulators have increasingly strictly regulated the online car-hailing market.

  According to Fu Weigang, in January 2019, the Ministry of Transport issued the "Notice on the Key Points of Transportation Safety Production Work in 2019", proposing to speed up the process of online car-hailing compliance, and all localities have also continuously urged online car-hailing platform enterprises to speed up the process of compliance. The Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission Law Enforcement Corps issued a notice requiring all online car-hailing platform enterprises to complete by the end of June: clear the registered vehicles without online car reservation qualifications in the platform, clear the non-compliant personnel and vehicles in the blacklist that were seized and warned in the early stage, improve the basic information of vehicles and drivers, and synchronize the supervision platform in real time. At the same time, platform companies are required to conduct offline entity inspections or reviews of newly registered vehicles and vehicles suspected of "vest" complaints, and strengthen legal education for drivers on the platform.

  "In fact, for many users, they are mainly concerned about whether the driver drives well or not, whether the service is good or not, and whether the driver’s registration information matches the actual situation and whether the household registration is local. Some users may even worry that if the driver’s entry threshold is too high, the number of drivers will be reduced, which will lead to more expensive taxi prices," Fu Weigang said.

  Zhao Zhan suggested that passengers themselves should raise their safety awareness and make more efforts within their means, including complaining to the platform if they find that the driver does not match the vehicle information, and assisting the platform in strengthening the management of drivers and vehicles.

  Appropriately lowering the entry threshold

  Promote the regular operation of drivers

  In 2016, after the Ministry of Transport, MIIT and other seven ministries jointly issued the Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Booking Taxi Business Services, various localities successively issued detailed implementation rules.

  According to media reports, in 2018, Hangzhou introduced a new policy, canceling a number of requirements for online car-hailing drivers, and at the same time adopting a policy of one test and two certificates. Once the driver passes the test, he not only obtains the qualification to drive an online car, but also can drive a taxi. This also makes the number of compliant drivers increase more than 3 times in 2018. At present, the number of online car-hailing drivers in Hangzhou who have obtained the qualification certificate has reached 55,000.

  Yu Mingyuan, director of the Highway Traffic Development Research Center of the Highway Science Research Institute of the Ministry of Transport, said in an interview with the media that, for example, excessive requirements are placed on technology, and even excessive requirements are placed on the length and frame of the vehicle. Some also require local household registration, and now there are also requirements that the manufacturer is also local.

  In Fu Weigang’s opinion, some places have set more restrictions on the access of online car-hailing drivers, which will lead to some people not meeting the conditions, which will lead to the creation of online car-hailing illegal production. The stricter the similar standards, the larger the scale of online car-hailing illegal production may be. "If the standards are too high, it will be more unsafe to have black cars. If the standards are relaxed, then some drivers can directly operate online car-hailing through regular channels."

  Zhao Zhan also believes that to rectify the illegal production of online car-hailing, the threshold for online car-hailing should be appropriately lowered to solve the problem of non-compliance of some online car-hailing drivers. Judging from the implementation of online car-hailing policies, some places have introduced stricter policies, and there are fewer qualified drivers and vehicles. Although the high threshold for access to the online car-hailing market is one of the reasons for the emergence of illegal production of online car-hailing, if there is no access threshold, it will not meet the current laws and regulations, and it will also be opposed by the traditional taxi industry. The threshold for access to online car-hailing needs to be set, mainly whether the level is appropriate.

  Fu Weigang suggested that to solve the problem of illegal production of online car-hailing, from the platform side, we should first improve the mechanism and system, so that passengers can promptly identify drivers with good service and poor service, and eliminate drivers with poor service. Secondly, the online car-hailing platform should be responsible for reviewing driver information and promptly connecting with the information systems of the public security department, transportation department and other relevant departments.

  Zhao Zhan added that the platform side should play a leading role in the rectification of online car-hailing black production, and can identify fake accounts through technical means, increase the crackdown, and ensure the safety of passengers.

Ali’s financial report: Ele.me from "steady growth" to "stable and fast", a number of key indicators are improving simultaneously

On the evening of August 10, Alibaba Holding Group announced the Quarter 1 results for fiscal year 2024. As Alibaba’s first financial report after launching the "1 + 6 + N" organizational change, Local Life Group performed well in it: in this quarter, driven by the strong growth of Ele.me and Autonavi, Local Life Group’s revenue grew by 30% year-on-year; at the same time, driven by the overall business scale and efficiency improvement, the segment loss continued to narrow, and the adjusted EBITA (operating profit and loss) reached the best level in recent years.

This quarter’s financial report also shows that due to the fact that Ele.me continued to record positive unit economic benefits, the order density continued to increase, and Ele.me’s losses continued to narrow year-on-year. Under the dual efforts of overall business scale and efficiency improvement, the loss of Local Life Group continued to narrow rapidly: Adjusted EBITA (operating profit and loss) continued to narrow to 1.982 billion yuan from a loss of 2.834 billion yuan in the same period last year.

The growth of high-quality supply, the improvement of consumer demand, and the continuous improvement of distribution capabilities have jointly driven the development of Ele.me from "stable growth" to "stable and fast": while the overall operating efficiency remains healthy in fiscal 2023, Ele.me is showing a strong and considerable growth trend at the beginning of fiscal 2024.

Firmly maintain the vision of "ecological progress" and continue to support high-quality merchants

The joint improvement of the supply quantity and quality of merchants is behind Ele.me’s firm investment in ecology. From April to June 2023, as the impact of the epidemic fully subsided, local travel and consumer demand accelerated. In order to better support the business recovery of merchants and work with merchants to serve consumers in more scenarios, Ele.me launched a series of support measures for merchants during the quarter.

In June, Ele.me held the 2023 Summer Merchant Conference and announced that it would increase investment in "six major areas" to continue to build a "benign, open and common development" merchant ecosystem, including: supporting good stores and good products, increasing investment in Sunshine series merchants, establishing local merchant academies, establishing open APIs, focusing on supporting sub-sectors to explore innovation, and re-launching summer consumer promotion activities. The merchant conference also sent a clear signal: Ele.me is committed to the long-term and firm strategic direction of an open and ecological platform.

At the 2023 Summer Merchant Conference, Eli.me COO Chen Weiye released business support measures for merchants

In order to fully support the launch of new takeaway stores by catering merchants and help new merchants in the industry to harvest business growth, Ele.me launched the "Young Seedlings Plan" in the quarter, launching special project measures for new takeaway merchants in terms of traffic, service and training. In addition to giving up to 28 days of free traffic support and preferential participation in key activities, Ele.me continues to implement all-day independent and easy settlement, and merchants can open stores on the same day of application. At the training end, Ele.me also launched 60-day customized new store growth training support for new store merchants to help new takeaway merchants master takeaway operation skills from scratch.

In order to meet consumers’ escalating demand for instant e-commerce, Ele.me has also continued to introduce various high-quality brand merchants to increase the supply of various retail products on the platform. In this quarter, Ele.me has successively reached cooperation with Apple and Suning.com: currently, more than 500 Apple authorized stores and more than 600 Suning.com stores across the country have been fully listed on Ele.me, covering major cities across the country. Through Ele.me, consumers can place orders for all kinds of Apple digital products anytime, anywhere, and buy more than 3,000 kinds of Suning.com store products such as mobile communication, digital computers, and household appliances. The fastest delivery in the city is 30 minutes.

Innovative user activity design continuously upgrades the consumer experience

The increase in the active level and order volume of Ele.me on the consumer side is driven by experience innovation. From April to June, during various consumer festivals such as the "May Day" holiday, Mother’s Day, and 520 Confession Day, Ele.me continuously met new consumer demand trends through platform innovation activity design. At the end of the quarter, Ele.me launched a new user activity such as "Guessing Answers Free Order" and "City Free Order" in this summer action, creating a new experience for the summer home delivery scene.

For example, during the "May Day" holiday, Ele.me worked with multiple platforms to jointly distribute cross-platform user benefits, including takeout, tickets, taxis and other different scenarios during various travel journeys. Through the "May Day Guardian Gold", consumers can more conveniently enjoy local consumption discounts during the holiday.

In mid-to-late June, with the launch of Ele.me’s summer action this year, last year’s popular online "free answer" activity returned again, and a variety of new ways to play were launched. Unlike last year, this year’s Ele.me free order activity does not need to guess the time, and the free order time will be told to users in advance. If you participate in the answer at the corresponding time, you will have the opportunity to grab the free order place.

This year’s "free order" upgrade of Ele.me not only reflects customer engagement. It is reported that as of the beginning of August, more than 1.50 million merchants participated in this year’s Ele.me "free order" activity, which is 2.5 times that of the same period last year. Among them, Starbucks, Wallace, Juewei Duck Neck, Xibei Noodle Village, McDonald’s, Gu Ming and other national chain brands are deeply involved in the activity and make joint marketing of "free order" IP.

With the rise in temperature and the arrival of the summer economy, Ele.me also collaborates with major platforms to carry out a series of activities such as "50% off Friday", "Crazy Weekend", "18 Red Packet Festival", "This Cup I Invite" to promote consumption and provide more preferential benefits for brand members and platform members. At the same time, for platform Black Diamond members, Ele.me also launched exclusive butler and other member services at the same time, and continuously upgraded the member service experience through high-quality service guarantee.

Continue to strengthen the construction of logistics capabilities to improve the care and protection of riders

Continued investment in on-the-go network capacity building and technological innovation has driven the overall order efficiency of the Ele.me platform to continue to improve, further consolidating the performance chassis for business growth. In order to better cope with the rapid growth of orders in spring and summer, Ele.me continued to strengthen investment in logistics network capacity building in the quarter, and on the basis of last year, further enhanced rider summer care and protection measures.

According to public reports, through technological innovation, Ele.me Blue Knight can send more orders in the same period of time. Compared with June last year, Ele.me riders’ combined order rate increased by 85.7% in one year. At the same time, Hummingbird has increased its investment in IoT equipment such as sideboards, smart helmets, and smart food boxes, continuously improving the convenience and safety of Blue Knight’s work.

After the launch of the Ele.me Summer Action in June, Ele.me provides riders with a variety of incentive measures and care measures including special project red envelopes, summer running order subsidies, and summer cool bags. In order to allow riders to deliver meals safely while reducing outdoor exposure, Ele.me also carried out front platform reminders according to local weather warnings this year to optimize routes and send order protection for riders.

  Ele.me accelerates the construction of rider stations across the country

Recently, Ele.me has launched four major measures: Blue Knights go to college for free, the construction of "Hundred Cities Million" Knight Inn, the upgrade of the Blue Knight Fund, and the heavy award of "Community Hero" to better support the work, life and development of riders. Among them, the "Hundred Cities Million" plan accelerates the construction of Knight Inn nationwide, allowing more Blue Knights to enjoy the inn service, and better solving problems such as "difficulty in eating, drinking, resting, and charging".

It is worth mentioning that in December last year, Ele.me released the industry’s first "Rider Growth and Development System". In the past year, 2,409 riders have been promoted to webmaster and higher positions. This development and growth development system is currently accelerating among riders across the country.

Boss, have a mass-selling headlight! Ask the world M9: Arrange

 

Do you know? In 1885, when the prototype of the car was just formed, the lighting system came into being. Perhaps you can’t imagine that the earliest lights were actually a pair of fuel lamps! At that time, cars and horses were expensive and letters were slow. But it was precisely from this era when even lighting the night road could not be satisfied that car headlights began their advanced path.

In the following century, acetylene lamps and incandescent lamps emerged one after another, and in the 21st century, automotive headlamps have made significant progress.

It is also because of the complexity of the traffic environment and the expansion of the urban development process, including people’s travel needs in bad weather. Better lighting effects such as xenon headlights and LED headlights have been transplanted to more and more models, becoming the main theme of automotive lighting.

Do you think this is the end of the development of car headlights? Shallow, what we want to talk about here is no longer limited to the progress of materials, but to rise to the level of technology lighting experience. What should the lighting experience look like in the era of intelligence?

When the headlights have been automatically turned on and automatically switched to near and far light, what else can it do?! It can also help you with high-beam keying, and can also help you show a wide-light blanket. It can also help you open a concert and watch a movie at a campsite. When the headlights have interactive functions, you will have the illusion that your understanding of the lights is too narrow? In the latest version of the M9 OTA push, the ritual-filled Kunpeng welcome and projection headlights outdoor Karaoke have been realized.

People-oriented technology will always make people feel warm in the details, and technology-leading brands tend to integrate more user-friendly functions in a linked way. When you approach a Q Jie M9 with your key, the distinguished welcome halo slowly lights up, and the headlights play out your preset pattern. Get in the car, adjust the headlights adaptively, and immediately enter the working state, because the next series of operations will allow you to immerse yourself and enjoy driving the Q Jie M9 freely through the streets and alleys.

Megapixel headlights high-precision ADB unique display, envy everyone

Take Beijing as an example, the number of motor vehicles has exceeded the 8 million mark, which is a very large group. Above the night sky, in addition to the illuminated night sky, there is also the surging traffic on the ring road. You are very disgusted with the harsh high beam shooting towards the lane, or the big cutie behind your car who has been driving high beam. Light is wasted or used in the opposite of the original lighting, hindering night travel safety (according to incomplete statistics, more than 40% of night traffic accidents are caused by glare).

No matter whether it is the person who drives the high beam or the person who is illuminated by the high beam, everyone does not benefit. Even the matrix headlights of some high-end models are clearly equipped with ADB (Adaptive High Beam) function, but the internal composition and the number of modules of the matrix headlights are not enough to support such a detailed cutout, and the shielding is too large for the area of passing cars/pedestrians, which often causes a large blind spot of vision and is prone to risk.

However! M9’s megapixel smart projection headlights use a megapixel module, and the dual lights can reach 2.60 million pixels. The shielding size of each pixel is only 0.02m, which is a hundred times higher than the industry’s 84 pixels. It can truly achieve lane-level precision control. Coupled with Huawei’s combination of intelligent driving perception and algorithms with headlights, the lights really become another pair of bright eyes for the driver and the car.

As a result, everything from a large car to a small person can be precisely reserved. Drivers can see the front clearly, other traffic participants will not blink, and the high beams will no longer disturb people! Therefore, black technology is not a solution. Whether it is used or not is the most direct way to show sincerity.

My headlights are a ruler! Easy in a narrow environment

Cars are not always speeding on city expressways, there are country roads at the end of the street and even to the camping site, you will see such a scene, only narrow aisles are left for parking, and there are limited-width concrete piers along the river embankment. You are about to pass carefully at night. If you are still driving a big guy, it is inevitable that the co-pilot will get out of the car to watch. The large screen of the M9 has such a button. After turning on the width indicator light blanket of the headlights, the light band of the pavement is slightly wider than the body. When you see that the light band does not shine on the obstacle, you can easily pass.

Summon Kunpeng? Awaken the instant ritual feeling full

Interesting people have their own halos, and so do interesting cars.

Imagine, as the owner of the car, you slowly walk towards the M9, and Kunpeng directly swims to the ground. Passers-by are attracted by your operation. The shape of Kunpeng’s wings also illuminates the surroundings of the door. Isn’t it a noble and intimate feeling? The well-known meteor shower effect can only be regarded as unremarkable in front of You Kun, especially when you summon Kunpeng through your mobile phone or watch, it will incarnate into the C position of the audience in minutes and attract much attention.

In the latest version, the tail lights of the M9 have also become richer. The previous red double, love and lantern shapes are just a small test, but they also add a touch of vitality to the cookie-cutter lights and boring car water Ma Long. Now, the addition of milk bottles, red flags, cakes, fireworks and other lights adds a new seasoning of technological fun to the mundane daily life, and also gives M9 owners more personalized emotional expression.

Summer night KTV, outdoor party? Projection headlights arranged for you!

The continuous explosion of self-media short videos has given ordinary people a side that they want to express themselves, but if I tell you that the distinguished Wenjie M9 can come with its own sky-breaking traffic, would you believe it?! As night falls, a curtain or a white wall can start to display. Turn on the megapixel headlights of the Wenjie M9 and directly project the lyrics. The effect is high-quality imitation of the mass-selling box. As soon as the verbatim lyrics leave, plus the opera house version of the audio playback, an open-air concert is immediately completed. With the microphone in hand, you are the master of this set!

In the era of smart cars, headlights have also been given more black technology, making the lighting system more visible. Intelligent lighting can help drivers get a safer and more convenient driving experience, and the realization of interactive and projection functions has become the icing on the cake, creating a richer social life and entertainment scene.

Compared to the almost demanding requirements of laser headlights, the practical significance of pixel headlights is more valuable, and the scene is also richer. For the future life, it may be the goal of the next OTA of the M9. What else do you want headlights to do? You might as well type it out in the comment area.
