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.

　　Changan Automobile

　　UNI-K sales continue to climb, and "Avita" is gradually approaching

　　Event Overview

　　The company released June 2021 sales: June sales totaled 173,000 vehicles, year-on-year -11.0%, January-June cumulative sales 1.2008 million vehicles, cumulative year-on-year + 44.5%; June production totaled 165,000 vehicles, year-on-year -15.1%, January-June cumulative production 1.127 million vehicles, cumulative year-on-year 37.5%.

　　Analysis and judgment:

　　Independent growth slows down, Ford improves month-on-month

　　The company’s sales volume in June was 173,040 units, + 22.2%/-11.0% year-on-year and -6.2% month-on-month. We judge that the quarter-on-month decline was mainly affected by the lack of cores. It is expected that with the impact of the lack of cores beginning to ease in the third quarter, the company’s sales growth rate is expected to pick up; the cumulative sales volume from January to June was 12.08 million units, + 45.5%/+ 44.5% year-on-year in 19/20. The data of the Passenger Federation shows that the year-on-year growth rate of wholesale sales of narrow passenger cars in June was -5.1%, and the company’s sales growth rate was weaker than the market average. By brand:

　　1) Self-owned brands (Chongqing + Hebei + Hefei, the same below): June sales of 91,871 units, + 33.5%/+ 0.4% year-on-year in 19/20, -11.2% month-on-month; January-June cumulative sales of 701,926 units, + 79.1%/+ 67.0% year-on-year in 19/20.

　　2) Ford: Sales of 21,752 vehicles in June, + 34.7%/-1.7% year-on-year in 19/20 and + 11.7% month-on-month. We judge that the improvement in the month-on-month was mainly due to the increase in the contribution of the re-listing of the Ferrez model. From January to June, the cumulative sales volume was 120,994 vehicles, + 61.0%/+ 24.2% year-on-year in 19/20.

　　3) Mazda: June sales were 10,068 units, + 4.4%/-20.2% year-on-year and + 4.4% month-on-month; January-June cumulative sales were 60,330 units, -1.4%/+ 7.7% year-on-year.

　　The proportion of independent sales in June was 53.1%, -3.0pct month-on-month, mainly due to the monthly decline in sales of independent brands; Ford’s June sales proportion was 12.6%, + 2.0pct month-on-month. It is expected that with the improvement of product structure and high gross profit brought by the launch of new cars, it will contribute important increments in the future.

　　Investment advice

　　The bottom of the passenger car industry cycle drives demand to pick up, and the company’s strategic focus on two core assets of autonomy + joint venture is expected to fully benefit. Among them, 1) Changan independence, the product cycle will rise in volume and price; 2) Changan Ford bottom will rise, and the margin will improve. At the same time, the CHN architecture and high-end electric intelligent new brand jointly built by the company with Huawei and () are expected to achieve rapid progress for the company in the development of intelligence and electrification. We maintain the profit forecast unchanged: it is expected that the company’s revenue in 2021-2023 will be 928.14/1022/113.506 billion yuan, the net profit attributable to the parent will be 53.92/60 25/65.94 million yuan, and the EPS will be 0.71/0 79/0.87 yuan. The PE corresponding to the current stock price is 29/26/23 times, maintaining the buy rating.

　　Risk warning

　　Downside risks in the auto market; sales of old models are declining, and sales of new models are not up to expectations; cost reduction and control fees are not up to expectations; Changan Ford’s strategic adjustment effect is not up to expectations; Avita brand development is lower than expected.

　　ZTE

　　2021 H1 performance forecast Comments: Performance exceeds expectations, endogenous changes are born into the sun

　　Upgrade the performance forecast and maintain the overweight rating. Based on the consideration of gross profit margin and share, we slightly raise the company’s net profit forecast for 2021-2023 to 6.513 billion yuan (+ 7.5%), 8.181 billion yuan (+ 2.1%) and 10.261 billion yuan (+ 4.7%), corresponding to EPS of 1.41 yuan, 1.77 yuan and 2.22 yuan respectively. Considering the compounded growth rate of the company’s net profit in the next three years, give the PE of 30x in 2021, and lower the target price to 42.3 yuan (-7.7%), maintaining the overweight rating unchanged.

　　The company announced that the net profit of H1 in 2021 is expected to be 3.80 billion yuan – 4.30 billion yuan, an increase of 104.6% -131.5%. According to the median, the net profit in the single quarter of 2021Q2 is nearly 2 billion yuan, which is expected to hit a new high in operating profit. The main reasons for the high net profit growth are: 1) the company optimizes the market structure, and it is expected that the three business lines will have good revenue growth; 2) its own management and R & D capacity enhancement brings about continuous recovery and improvement of gross profit margin; 3) the transfer of up to 90% of ZTE’s equity, confirming the pre-tax profit of about 800 million yuan; the overall performance exceeds market expectations.

　　5G scale procurement via bidding started, and the company’s various businesses were born into the sun. Recently, domestic operators’ 5G scale procurement via bidding started, and the investment in 2021 showed the characteristics of low before and high after, which better supported the high growth of the annual performance. At the same time, based on the core competitiveness of the company’s chips, algorithms, architectures, databases, etc., it has laid the foundation for business expansion in 5G industry applications, enterprise digitalization, automotive electronics and other fields. The three business lines of operators, government and enterprises and consumers will be further expanded.

　　Endogenous changes are obvious, moving towards high-quality development. The company has strong competitive product advantages under continuous R & D investment, superimposed supply chain, operation and management improvement, gross profit margin and net profit margin will increase, profitability will continue to increase, and it has been on the track of high-quality growth.

　　Risk warning: The epidemic has led to unclear investment by overseas operators and the risk of Sino-US trade friction.

　　LED driver chips are booming, and the company’s products are accelerating in volume: small-pitch LED displays have reached the sweet spot of price, which has significantly stimulated the application demand in related scenarios, and the product has penetrated rapidly. At the same time, under the trend of small-pitch LED displays, with the narrowing of the lamp bead spacing, the number of display driver chips used per unit area has increased exponentially. In the current semiconductor price surge, LED lighting driver chips are not sensitive to price at the end point app store due to their low price base, so there is a large room for price increase. Superimposed with a large amount of chips, it is expected to contribute considerable revenue growth to relevant LED lighting driver chip manufacturers. The company’s LED driver chip layout is perfect, and the technical competitiveness is strong, which can meet the diverse application needs of downstream.

　　Risk warning: market demand is not as expected; new product launches are not as expected; customer development is not as expected.

　　For Google, there are too many assets under its command, and it is in the order of "100 million" at random. However, the satellite image company that was acquired for 500 million dollars was recently reported to have been sold for 300 million dollars. Although we can’t guarantee the true accuracy of the figures, industry rumors say that Google sold it at a low price. That is to say, this business is sold at a loss by Google, which may also indicate that Google has diluted the satellite image market, or has restarted planning for future development, and even needs to divest these assets. Of course, maybe Google is gradually transforming into a "lightweight" company and needs to divest some less important businesses. It’s just that Google Maps was such a beautiful product line for a while. Won’t divesting satellite image business like this affect map products? What is Google’s ambition behind the scenes, or is it helpless?

　　Has the industry reached a consensus on "selling at a low price"?

　　Google and mapping start-up company Planet Labs announced on Friday that the latter will acquire Google’s satellite imagery company Terra Bella, which Google bought for $500 million about two years ago. Under the agreement reached between the two parties, Planet Labs will acquire the Terra Bella business and satellites, while Google will continue to provide satellite imagery for its map products through licensing. Obviously, Google still needs maps urgently. Although it is sold, it still needs the business product line.

　　According to insiders, Planet Labs’ acquisition price is lower than Google’s $500 million when it acquired Terra Bella at the time, but the price of this transaction is still more than $300 million. The source also revealed that Google will become the majority shareholder of Planet Labs and continue to invest in Terra Bella based on the expectation of long-term success. This also shows that Google cannot give up the map business, and it cannot give up. Too many product lines still need the support and support of Google Maps, and the divestiture may be just the divestiture of assets.

　　The market interpreted the deal as the latest effort by Google’s parent company, Alphabet, to manage expenses, which it is currently taking company-wide. The subconscious is that Google has gone to great lengths to manage expenses, and it may have to divest everything that can be divested. This may also be to "streamline" and help Google have a better financial forecast, right?

　　In fact, over the past year, Alphabet has scrapped plans to offer internet services through solar-powered drones, stopped expanding its Google Fiber internet service, and slowed down the development of drone delivery services. In addition, several company executives have also left. It is reported that several map executives have been poached by Uber. For a ride-hailing platform, maps are also life infra.

　　In addition, Alphabet’s earnings report last month showed that the company’s "Other Bets" business suffered a loss of $1.088 billion in the fourth quarter of 2016, with revenue of $262 million. Perhaps this is the internal factor that forced Google to keep shrinking, and it is also a loss of $1 billion. If it cannot be transferred and adjusted in time, the burden in the future may become more and more large. Even if Google is rich, it cannot withstand such tossing. It may be the best way to shake hands earlier.

　　Poor Terra Bella?

　　For Terra Bella, formerly known as "Skybox Imaging," which Google bought in 2014 for $500 million, it has seven data collection satellites and provides services to third parties in addition to Google Maps.

　　Google spun off this business because "it is more cost-effective to buy image data directly from a third party than to launch and operate its own satellites." Google, which used to be not short of money, now needs to be careful, just like Apple wants to sue Qualcomm. The original patent fee is just a drop in the bucket, but when the performance declines, and the share and profit both decline, Apple has to cut back on revenue and needs to "wipe oil" from Qualcomm. For Google, is it also a bit of "sympathy for the same disease"?

　　In fact, no matter who the owner is, it has little impact on Terra Bella. Its business is still within its familiar range. For Planet Labs, this acquisition will make it more competitive. Of course, for some experts at Google itself, it may be necessary to "invest in another owner". In fact, some executives have chosen to leave.

　　Planet Labs has been struggling to find customers, according to people familiar with the matter. It operates dozens of satellites, each weighing around 10 pounds (4.5 kg), but can only provide low-resolution images. Terra Bella’s satellites, by contrast, are more powerful and capture higher quality images. The acquisition will undoubtedly help Planet Labs expand its business.

　　There is also a saying in the market that with the third-party industrialization of the map business, it is also a good thing for other application users, such as Apple and many mobile phone manufacturers, online car-hailing platforms, etc. After all, after not being under Google’s control, the competition may be more fair. Of course, for Google, there are other secrets.

　　The glorious decade of Google Maps

　　The mapping business was once an unusually prosperous and glorious business for Google. For a time, the application of time was also overwhelming. Google Maps began as a living atlas, with MapQuest, the leader in the online mapping industry at the time, providing a printable list of directions. But Google took a different path: superimposing navigation paths on the map.

　　Moreover, Google Maps can also load maps directly on the web browser, making it convenient for users to explore the whole world anytime and anywhere. There is no need to install special software. At that time, the experience was super strong, and many people quickly fell in love with it. In 2005, no one could really understand the potential of web maps, and no one knew that it would play a crucial role in the future of online life. But it turned out that this business is too powerful. It is reported that the users of Google Maps have already broken through the 1 billion. It has become Google’s second largest asset after the search engine.

　　Google Maps has promoted the concept of "location" on the Internet from the very beginning. In fact, we are now one of the most commonly used in map applications about "location". The reason why modern maps have developed to this day may also be due to the appearance of Google Maps, of course, including the emergence of various LBS applications. Of course, Google is not the first to make maps. As early as 2003, Google had a product called "Search byLocation" (search by location). The service was launched in September 2003 as an experimental project in Google Labs, which was probably Google’s first map-related project.

　　In 2004, Google made three modest acquisitions of Keyhole, Where2 and Zipdash. Keyhole was the largest of the three deals, but the exact price has not been disclosed. At the time, the three-year-old company, which had 30 employees, was selling an enterprise-grade satellite mapping software for $69.95. The key technology was to stitch together satellite imagery into large maps of the world and then cut them into millions of pieces, allowing users to get a bird’s-eye view of the earth and then locate specific locations. In 2004, Zipdash, a start-up company with only three employees, was developing a mobile transportation app. Interestingly, because they were not registered, it was not even a "company". At the time, Zipdash only supported Nextel phones. Zipdash only sold for 2 million dollars. Google picked up a big bargain. Where2 developed a web version of Google Maps, Keyhole developed a desktop version of Google Earth, and the mobile version of Google Maps developed by the smallest Zipdash became the most important product.

　　It is reported that Google Maps’ traffic has been rising due to two things: Google Maps has added satellite data from Keyhole, allowing people to overlook their homes from the sky; Google has optimized the code to make Google Maps run faster. Since then, Google Maps’ growth has been uncontrollable. Selling the satellite imagery business now does not mean that Google does not make maps. On the contrary, it is one of the important pivots of Google. Especially in the era of mobile Internet, this business is indispensable.

　　Uber’s Small Ambitions

　　It is reported that Uber plans to invest $500 million to start drawing its own maps, and the plan also includes launching map viewing vehicles in the United States and Mexico to collect data and images. Uber’s ride-hailing service has always relied on Google Maps, and Google has no plans to enter the ride-hailing service field, so there is no conflict of interest between the two companies, and the two companies are also happy to cooperate on maps.

　　However, as both companies move towards autonomous driving that relies heavily on maps, the former partners have become competitors, and neither company expects further cooperation on maps. It makes sense for Uber to create its own maps to replace Google Maps.

　　Moreover, Uber’s mapping needs are focused on the accuracy of roads and locations, and Google Maps currently includes too much content, some of which is not relevant to Uber’s business. As Uber points out, "Google is great, but information like ocean terrain has nothing to do with Uber."

　　So Uber wanted to start from scratch and create its own maps. They hired Brian McClendon, the head of Google Maps, as a vice president and in charge of the map business. Then, a multi-year partnership agreement was reached with DigitalGlobe, a satellite imaging company, whose satellites would provide Uber with high-definition images.

　　Then, after Brian McClendon, Uber hired a second Google Maps executive, Manik Gupta, director of product management for Google Maps, who has been with Google Maps for seven years, to become director of mapping products.

　　Uber hopes to get rid of its dependence on Google Maps by strengthening its mapping business, so as to better control its own assets. In the future, more products or physically connected applications may come from third-party providers, so as to better participate in the competition. Of course, making maps is also a lot of pressure for Uber, and both technology and investment are key.

　　Google’s sale of its satellite imagery business is undoubtedly beneficial for divesting assets and reducing expenses. Coupled with the fact that its own product space will not be greatly affected, it may also be a better choice for Google Maps to divest its "hardware" business and focus on its own content. With the rapid development of the mobile Internet, mobile applications will become more diverse, and the demand for maps will also give rise to more development opportunities. This is not just a mobile application, including unmanned cars, unmanned aircraft, etc., will rely on the simultaneous follow-up of maps, and the extension of technology will also be more diversified. We also believe that more technologies and products will emerge, truly allowing users to have a better application experience.

The fourth-generation substation was officially put into operation, and the cumulative driving mileage of NOP/NOP + users reached 1 billion kilometers. The market share of NIO ES6 and EC6 in the high-end pure electric vehicle market above 300,000 was as high as 49.76%. In recent months, the major sections of NIO have reported frequently.

Relying on the continued growth momentum, NIO forecasts that the total revenue in the second quarter will reach 16.587 billion yuan to 17.135 billion yuan, an increase of about 89.1% to 95.3% compared with the same period in 2023.

The beautiful business expectations suggest that NIO’s long-term strategy in various fields such as products, services, and technologies is enjoying a harvest period.

Leverage star models and play a good product combination

In Quarter 1 this year, in the high-end pure electric vehicle market above 300,000, the share of NIO ES6 and EC6 is as high as 49.76%, sitting on half of the market segment. This also means that for every two high-end pure electric vehicles sold above 300,000, one comes from NIO ES6 or EC6.

The NIO ES6 and EC6 together with BBA’s GLC, Q5L and X3 form the first echelon of high-end mid-size SUVs. In May this year, the NIO ES6 and EC6, two high-end mid-size SUVs, the Gemini Star, sold 10,836 units in a single month, surpassing the BMW X3 with monthly sales of 9,378 units and the Mercedes-Benz GLC with monthly sales of 10,150 units, and second only to the Audi Q5L with monthly sales of 11,130 units.

At the end of May this year, NIO ES6 ushered in the delivery of the 200,000 vehicle. Since its birth, NIO ES6 has become the sales responsibility of NIO. From December 2018 to April 2023, the first generation ES6 has delivered 120,000 vehicles, ranking first in the sales list of 300,000 pure electric SUVs all year round. In May 2023, the second generation ES6 was launched, and the sales volume exceeded 70,000 vehicles in just one year, which was significantly faster than the previous generation.

Compared with traditional high-end luxury fuel vehicles such as GLC, X3 and Q5L, the NIO ES6 is slightly better in terms of power performance and flexibility of the vehicle system. The maximum horsepower of the NIO ES6 is 490Ps and the total power is 360kW. In comparison, the maximum horsepower of the Audi Q5L is only 190Ps and the total power is only 140kW. The NIO ES6 smart cockpit has functions such as automatic speech recognition control system, mobile APP remote control, OTA remote online upgrade, facial recognition, rear LCD screen, and rear central control system, while the Audi Q5L only has automatic speech recognition control system and mobile APP remote control two smart cockpit functions.

While the star models are leading the way, NIO’s product matrix is also becoming increasingly complete.

At present, the NIO brand except ET5 and ET5T, the other models are priced at more than 300,000 yuan, positioning in the high-end pure electric market. Among them, NIO ET5, ET7, ET5T, ET9 together constitute NIO’s car matrix, covering the B-class to C +-class market; NIO ES6, ES8, EC6, ES7, EC7 together constitute NIO’s SUV matrix, covering the medium to large market. Among them, 2024 NIO ET7 Executive Edition has been listed at the Beijing Auto Show. This car is positioned as an intelligent electric high-end executive sedan, starting at 428,000 yuan. With the official launch of the 150kWh ultra-long battery pack service, 2024 ET7 Executive Edition will become the only pure electric executive sedan in the same class with a battery life of more than 1000 kilometers.

But in the 200,000 mainstream home market, NIO also did not let down its guard and launched the LODO brand in the first half of the year. At present, LODO has released its first product, and the market response is enthusiastic. In the more affordable price range of 100,000-200,000 yuan, NIO’s third sub-brand, Firefly, will also be launched in the first half of next year.

The three major brands complement each other. Driven by a broader price range, a more complete product matrix, and the effect of star models, NIO is expected to experience another increase in sales.

Polish the service signboard and create a supplementary "moat"

User service has always been the golden signboard of NIO, and the construction of supplementary infrastructure has become a symbol of NIO user service level. Recently, there have been frequent reports of NIO’s supplementary capabilities.

On June 13, NIO’s first batch of fourth-generation power exchange stations was officially put into operation. Compared with the previous generation of power exchange stations, the power exchange speed was increased by 22%, and the fastest power exchange took only 2 minutes and 24 seconds. The power exchange experience is very close to that of fuel vehicles. In addition, NIO’s fourth-generation power exchange stations can also support multi-brand shared power exchange. From the expansion of power exchange Moments to the implementation of multi-brand shared power exchange functions, NIO is mastering more and more power exchange standards has the voice over.

Not long ago, NIO Power once again received 1.50 billion yuan strategic investment from Wuhan Guangchuang Fund and other institutions, which will be used for technology research and development, manufacturing, operation and maintenance, and charging and swapping infrastructure building in the fields of charging, power exchange, energy storage, battery service, energy Internet, etc. The introduction of 1.50 billion yuan strategic investment not only provides funds for the rapid development of NIO Power, but also optimizes the capital structure of NIO Power.

In the field of power replacement, NIO’s leading position has become an industry consensus. As of June 19, NIO has built 2,435 power stations and 22,685 charging piles across the country, including 804 high-speed power stations and 1,666 high-speed overcharging piles. It is the car brand with the most power stations and charging piles in the country.

At present, NIO has reached a strategic cooperation with GAC, Changan Automobile, Geely Holding Group, Chery Automobile, Jiangqi Group and Lotus to jointly promote a larger-scale, standardized and unified energy infrastructure network, and use C-end user resources to improve the "penetration rate" of the power exchange and charging network. In addition, NIO has also carried out all-round power exchange cooperation with Sinopec, CNOOC, Shell, State Grid, China Southern Power Grid, Wanneng Group, Zhongan Energy and other energy and power enterprises.

From the entry of a number of car companies to the injection of state-owned assets, the outside world’s attitude towards NIO’s power swap Moments is changing from initial skepticism to acceptance. From serving oneself to serving external customers, supplementation has become a "moat" for NIO.

Focus on the future, refresh the technology base color

As a household enterprise, in the minds of many people, NIO’s service seems to have become its duty. But since 2023, NIO Li Bin has repeatedly emphasized that technology is the base color of NIO.

In 2023, NIO announced 12 major technological innovations, covering key technology fields such as chips and in-vehicle intelligent hardware, battery systems, operating systems, intelligent driving, and intelligent cockpit, showcasing a full-stack self-research layout at the bottom.

In 2024, NIO will further apply AI technology to the car chassis, adding 4D comfort piloting function to the intelligence system Banyan 2.4.0 version. The 4D comfort piloting function opens up the intelligent chassis domain, intelligent driving domain and intelligent cockpit domain.

More stable and reliable.

The 4D Comfort Pilot feature is just the tip of the iceberg of NIO’s technological prowess.

NIO’s 2024 models launched this year integrate one of the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 cockpit chips and four NVIDIA Orin X intelligent driving chips, which greatly improve the CPU computing power and AI computing power compared with the previous generation 8155. Since April 30, NIO has fully pushed intelligent driving functions. On June 19, NIO Pilot Assist NOP/NOP + users have accumulated a mileage of 1 billion kilometers, and became the first pilot auxiliary driving product in China with a total mileage of more than 1 billion kilometers. Recently, NIO also obtained the access qualification for L3 autonomous driving.

According to the plan, in the second quarter of this year, the first lidar-specific driver chip "Yang Jian" developed by Weilai will be mass-produced and loaded, which can greatly reduce the power consumption of lidar. This year, the second chip "Shenji" developed by Weilai will also be unveiled. This chip is a super computing power autonomous driving driver chip, with nearly the sum of Nvidia’s four chips, and the cost is less than half, which plays an extremely important role in improving vehicle functions and reducing costs.

Since its establishment, NIO has never been stingy in investing heavily in technology research and development. According to NIO’s first-quarter financial report, NIO invested up to 2.86 billion yuan in R & D in the first quarter of this year alone, "far ahead" compared with friends. For NIO, R & D investment is also a long-term strategy. It is also based on the continuous deepening and long-term dedication to products, services and technologies that has brought about a stable recovery in NIO’s sales.

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"

　　International Online auto channel News: A country’s prosperity and development can’t be separated from people who work hard for it. Since the reform and opening up, China has gradually realized the rise of a great country and the rejuvenation of the nation. Behind it are generations of enterprising strugglers who have gathered their strength and influenced and changed our times. On New Year’s Day, 2022, China Star, a high-end series of Geely brand CMA, joined forces with The Paper to launch a video short film of time portrait character recording — — "Dare to act, be the China star of the times", spread the voice of the times, and let the public better perceive and convey the spirit of "Dare to act".

Geely automobile

　　"Dare to act" is the epitome of China’s courage to challenge and surpass itself. Under the background of great powers in the new era of dreaming, China needs more spirit of "dare to be a man" and "dare to act" to constantly challenge and break through. On the occasion of New Year’s Day in 2022, the film invited five "dare to be pioneers" in different fields — — Media person Yang Lan, China team male gymnast Xing Aowei, "Top Ten Most Beautiful Paramedics" Yu Yifei, legless warrior Xia Boyu who successfully climbed Mount Everest, and post-80s car boss Gan Jiayue have interpreted the spirit of "daring to act" in many dimensions through their oral statements and deeds, giving every ordinary person the power of the times: daring to act and being the China star of the times. At the same time, this is also the first time that Geely China Star released its "Dare to Do" value proposition during the 11th period of 2021, and once again took "Dare to Do" as the key word of the 2022 New Year, responding to the call of the spirit of the times and playing the strongest voice of the times.

　　In the name of "dare to act", the China stars of the times shine.

　　Every era has its heroes, and every era has its "China Star" that shines on it. Today’s China has a prosperous culture, flourishing science and technology, and prosperous city. Behind the development of the times, there are countless "China stars" emerging from all walks of life. These people dare to challenge, explore, innovate, take the lead in the world and constantly lead the times.

　　The five "dare to be pioneers" in this film, whether athletes, mountaineers, doctors, media people and autobots, have all made contributions in their respective fields and played a leading role in social stability, economic development and a better life with the spirit of "dare to act" such as persistence, responsibility, struggle, exploration, breakthrough and innovation. The film tells the life stories of these five China stars and their understanding of "dare to act", and interprets the "dare to act" spirit of the times with the "dare to act" spirit of the characters.

　　At the end of the film, Geely Automobile’s first post-80s CEO— — Gan Jia read a monologue from a representative of the national automobile, telling the enterprising spirit of Geely Automobile and explaining the persistence and innovation of the national automobile industry. Finally, Gan Jiayu, together with other big coffees from all walks of life, deepened the spirit of "daring" of the times, and said in the film, "The most beautiful scenery in China is the 1.4 billion enterprising people in China, and the most powerful force of the Chinese dream is the gathering of thousands of strugglers in Qian Qian".

　　Geely Automobile’s "Dare to Do" Road, Fighting for the Value of China Automobile.

　　At present, China has become the most important arena in the global automobile industry, hunting at home, with China as the leading force. As the global leader of China automobile, looking back on Geely’s 25-year car-making process, we will find that Geely has been breaking through and constantly innovating, which will eventually become impossible. Now, the dual export of power products and technologies to overseas high-end brands is realized. Geely Automobile has gone from weak to strong, from small mountain villages to the world, relying on the "dare to act" spirit of all Geely people. In mastering the core technology, we will spare no expense to invest heavily. In the decade of 2021, Geely will invest more than 140 billion in R&D, and research and develop whatever is not working. After five years’ development, Raytheon Intelligent Engine Hybrid has completely surpassed Japanese Hybrid in key technologies such as thermal efficiency and fuel saving rate, breaking the long-term monopoly position of Japanese Hybrid, and will realize "China Power Supply to the World" for the first time.

　　In addition, Geely is the only car company in China with four world-class modular architectures: CMA, BMA, SPA and Vast. Building a car with this architecture will ensure that Geely’s products always remain the world leader. The "China Star" series, which was born in CMA architecture, assembled all the best technologies of Geely at present, completely surpassed the strong joint venture brand products, and made the popularization of high-end products a reality.

Geely xingrui

　　"China Star" is a high-end series of Geely brand CMA released by Geely Automobile in 2021. At present, it includes China Star flagship SUV Xingyue L, China Star high-performance SUV Xingyue S and China Star flagship sedan Geely Xingrui. With the listing of Xingyue in 2019, it broke the inherent cognition of users’ distrust of the three major pieces of China cars; By 2020, Geely Xingrui will go public, breaking the long-standing China family car standard dominated by foreign brands; In 2021, Xingyue L went public and redefined the new standard of SUV. In the past three years, China Star’s three high-end series products built by CMA framework have formed the strongest flagship lineup in China.

Xingyue l

　　The mission of "China Star" is to bravely challenge the world’s mainstream cars on behalf of the China brand with the spirit of the times, fight for the value of China cars, and make China cars bigger and stronger. "China Star" series broke the habit of traditional independent brands and took "high cost performance" as the strategy, but really competed with other competitors with "high value". Since its release, "China Star" has won praise from the market and consumers by virtue of its product strength and high value far exceeding the joint venture brand. At present, the total sales volume of China Star has exceeded 200,000 vehicles. More than 60% of the users of China Star choose high-end vehicles, 52% of the sales volume of China Star comes from the demand for replacement, and more than 40% of the users have joint venture experience.

Xingyue s

　　Therefore, "dare to act" is not only the pioneering spirit of the pioneers who broke through the shackles and struggled forward, but also the important spiritual core of Geely Automobile’s development from a little-known private car company to a big country brand. In the film, Gan Jiayu said confidently that it is the responsibility and mission of China Autobots to fight for the value of China cars and let China cars travel all over the world. Now it is at the critical point from making cars to creating cars, which is the only way for China to become a powerful country from a big automobile manufacturing country. This road is difficult to walk, but it is precisely because it is difficult to walk that we have to walk, and more people who dare to think and dare to walk together.

Geely automobile

　　Everything in the past is a preface. When the bell rings in 2022, in the face of the changes of the times and the rapid changes in the world, only by daring can we climb higher mountains and achieve more brilliant achievements. As Gan Jiayu said at the end of the film, "In an era of courage, when everyone is thinking and working hard, no matter how difficult the mountain is, you can climb it and enjoy the beautiful scenery." Looking forward to the future, I hope that everyone in China can be bold and work together to promote the development of the new era. In 2022, together with 1.4 billion China people, we will dare to be the China star of the times. (Source: Geely Automobile)

Recently, citizen Xiao Zhang received a brand power bank presented by a cooperative enterprise, but the power bank clearly marked with a capacitance of 10,000 mAh charged the mobile phone once and then ran out of power. Recently, a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily found that many personalized power banks customized for enterprises online are counterfeit products, not only in the name of big brands in the market, but also falsely marked battery capacity. After dismantling these "counterfeit products" power banks, the batteries inside are rusty, and even some power banks use cement batteries.

The "big-name" power bank network sells for less than 20 yuan.

Like Xiao Zhang’s partner companies, many companies would choose to give customers power banks as gifts, and there were also many stores selling customizable and lettering "brand" power banks online. Through the introduction of these sellers, it can be seen that these power banks are called customized power banks because they can print text and patterns, and because the actual capacitance of these power banks can be customized.

In an online store labeled Shenzhen, there are 10 different styles of power banks on sale, many of which are used by some companies as gifts.

In this store, the reporter of Beiqing Daily chose a "Xiaomi mobile power bank" priced at 12 yuan and sold more than 100 times a month. The capacity in the product introduction is 10,400 mAh. From the pictures uploaded by the seller, the shape of the power bank sold is the same as that of the Xiaomi brand. The pictures of the product details used are also the product introduction of the Xiaomi power bank.

After clicking on the purchase button, a reporter from Beiqing Daily saw that options for capacity and logo customization appeared on the purchase page. Optional capacities ranged from 1,800 mAh to 4,800 mAh. Depending on the capacitor selected, the actual price would also vary, ranging from 12 yuan to 19.2 yuan.

In addition, buyers can also buy the packaging and wire corresponding to the selected power bank separately, the price is 12 yuan per set. If you order a large number of packaged power banks, the price of each set is 19 yuan.

After the reporter of Beiqing Daily chose to buy four more mainstream "brand" power banks in the store, he was told by the owner that the power banks photographed were "not for sale, but at least 100 for sale". After many negotiations, the owner agreed to increase the price and sell them separately.

Batteries are rusty
Disassembly sparks fly out

After getting the four power banks purchased, the reporter of Beiqing Daily compared the "Xiaomi Power Bank" purchased with the power bank sold by Xiaomi official, and disassembled the two power banks.

If you don’t look carefully at the appearance, there is basically no difference between "counterfeit products Xiaomi" and the real "Xiaomi". After careful comparison, it is found that the shell of the "counterfeit products Xiaomi" power bank feels rougher than the real "Xiaomi" power bank. The MI mark of "counterfeit products Xiaomi" can see obvious imprints, but the MI mark of the real "Xiaomi" has no imprints. The capacity mark of the tail power bank of "counterfeit products Xiaomi" is darker in color, and it does not feel like the real "Xiaomi" has a raised feeling. The URL of "Xiaomi" written on the back of "counterfeit products Xiaomi" is "xiaomi.com", while the URL written on the back of the real "Xiaomi" is "mi.com".

When a reporter from Beiqing Daily disassembled the two power banks, he found that "counterfeit products Xiaomi" are very easy to disassemble, and the internal components of the power bank can be pulled out by prying open the plastic cover at the top. The real "Xiaomi" has a closed part fixed by screws after prying open the plastic cover at the top. All the screws at the top and bottom must be removed before the internal components of the power bank can be pulled out.

After removing the shell, the circuit boards and batteries of the two power banks were completely different. The circuit boards of the "counterfeit products Xiaomi" were simple and the workmanship was rough. The batteries were wrapped in blue plastic.

After disassembling the plastic outside the batteries of the two power banks, it was found that there were obvious rust marks on the batteries of "counterfeit products Xiaomi".

During the dismantling process, sparks could be seen flying out of the battery anode of "counterfeit products Xiaomi" when it came into contact with metal items such as scissors.

Cement batteries are sold online for 0.24 yuan each.

In addition to the "counterfeit products Xiaomi" power bank, the reporter of Beiqing Daily also dismantled another common polymer lithium battery ultra-thin power bank, which mostly appears in the gifts issued by enterprises. Similarly, the workmanship of this counterfeit products ultra-thin power bank is also very rough, it is easy to be pried open, the circuit board is simple, and the packaging of the battery is only an extremely thin metal film. After the metal film is broken, the liquid overflows, and the taste is very pungent.

As early as 2015, Jiangxi Province had destroyed a power bank counterfeiting den, and the seized "counterfeit products" power bank contained 6 batteries, of which 4 were counterfeit filled with cement.

In various forums and Tieba, some netizens also discovered the "tricks" of inferior power banks, and some netizens disassembled the cement batteries in the power banks. From the disassembly pictures provided by netizens, the reporter of Beiqing Daily saw that some of the cement batteries were filled with sand, while others were filled with cement columns.

In some online shopping platforms, Beiqing Daily reporters found by searching for cement batteries that the price of pure cement core batteries is as low as 0.24 yuan each, starting at 100, and wholesale prices will be lower in large quantities. Some businesses selling cement batteries have power bank components and power banks working in progress.

At the same time, the Beiqing Daily reporter also found that many manufacturers have purchased 18650 batteries used in power banks online at a price of 1 yuan each, with a sales price of about 4 yuan. The price of genuine brand-new columnar 18650 batteries is around 10 yuan.

Low-quality batteries are dangerous
Easily cause fire

What exactly is a customized low-priced power bank battery sold online? The seller of the online store said, "The battery in the power bank he sells is a real battery, a product A battery, not a cement battery used for heavy charging, but a small capacitor, so there will be no short circuit, and long-distance transportation will not catch fire and explode."

Industry insiders told Beiqing Daily reporters that the batteries used in the power banks sold on the market are columnar 18650 batteries and flake polymer lithium batteries similar to mobile phone batteries, while some of the power banks made by "small workshops" use real batteries bought by Beiqing Daily reporters, but the power content is very small, and some use real batteries and fake "cement batteries" for mixed charging.

Generally, if a real battery is used, several batteries are connected together. If it is mixed and assembled, the cement battery will not be connected to the real battery. "The cement battery is placed separately and cannot be powered on when connected together."

The industry insider also said that most of the batteries in "small workshops" are made by the workshop itself or purchased from the outside world, and the safety cannot be guaranteed. If there is a problem with the columnar 18650 battery, it may cause a fire, "because the power content is small, although it will not explode, there will be flames in severe cases." And polymer lithium batteries, if the packaging is not good enough, once the electrolyte in the battery leaks, it will chemically react with the air, which will affect the human respiratory system, and ingestion will endanger the health.
