"My fate with Taiwan is too close" "I hope to have more opportunities for cooperation with young Taiwanese creators" "I hope Taiwanese audiences will find resonance in" Flowers "… In an interview with Xinhua News Agency reporters in Taipei on the evening of the 12th, Hu Ge, a well-known mainland actor, summed up the feelings of participating in the exchange activities that day with" Flowers are like brocade, it’s a worthwhile trip ".

Not long ago, the mainland TV drama "Flowers" caused a craze for drama chasing in Taiwan, and Hu Ge played "Mr. Bao" in the drama. "Mr. Bao" became a hot topic of public opinion when he arrived at Baodao.

After six years, Hu Ge visited Taiwan again and held a conversation with young creators in Taipei on the 12th. Hu Ge’s trip was low-key and brief, but he was still surrounded by a large number of fans and media wherever he went. "I’m still quite touched, because I haven’t been here for six years, and I still see the audience and fans very enthusiastic when I get off the plane," he said.

Counting the fate of "Mr. Bao" and Baodao, Hu Ge sorted out many "firsts" in his career: "The first’male number one ‘play in my life was filmed in Taiwan, and it happened to be a Taiwanese person; my first costume play" The Legend of Immortal Sword and Raider "was adapted from a game, which was developed and produced by a Taiwanese company; my first studio recording was also in Taiwan, when I recorded an episode for" The Legend of Immortal Sword and Raider "; I have acted in a total of two plays, both of which are Taiwanese works, one is Mr. Lai Shengchuan’s" Dream Like a Dream ", and the other is a play adapted from Mr. Bai Xianyong’s novel" Eternal Yin Xueyan "…"

The first time he came to Taiwan to film in 2003, Hu Ge "left a very deep and beautiful impression." He said that during a month and a half, he visited Hualien, Taitung, Keelung and many other places. "The natural scenery and various delicacies formed very good memories."

Regarding food, he recalls with a smile that he also set an "interesting record" when he first came to Taiwan. "Our photographer at the time was Taiwanese, and he took me to the Keelung Night Market, where we ate 11 stalls in one night."

On the 12th, Hu Ge shared his rich experience in the film and television industry and encouraged young creators to stick to their dreams and be passionate about the industry even if the process is hard. Hu Ge admitted: "The exchange atmosphere is very good, but I hope I also have the opportunity to ask questions to understand the thoughts of young Taiwanese creators now."

"Although I have worked with many Taiwanese actors before, I have not worked with many young Taiwanese directors or screenwriters. So I said during the conversation: If you have a good script in the future, you can give me priority to read it." Hu Ge said that in recent years, his films have been made with young mainland directors and screenwriters, and he has felt a lot of different ideas and ideas in them, colliding with different sparks.

Talking about acting experience, Hu Ge emphasizes the importance of real-life experience: "Whether it is an actor, a director, a screenwriter, as a creator, life is always the best soil. Rich life experiences and profound life insights will be integrated with the characters created."

He further explained that when he was young, he had a superficial understanding of the profession of actor, and felt that the farther away the character was from him, the better the acting skills, and the less like himself, the more successful it was. "But after the age of 40, I found that no matter how you create a character, you can’t do it without yourself. Only your life experience will make the character you create thick and three-dimensional."

From the TV series "The Legend of the Immortal Sword" and "The Legend of the Condor Hero", to "Langya Bang" and "The Pretender", to the recent TV series "Flowers" directed by Wong Kar-wai, Hu Ge’s various roles have been deeply loved by Taiwanese audiences over the past 21 years.

Referring to the "land drama craze" that has arisen on the island in recent years, Hu Ge believes: "Because the cultures of both sides of the Taiwan Strait are originally from the same root and origin, even if it is a costume drama with an empty history like’Langya Bang ‘, everyone can find a lot of empathy in it."

Hu Ge believes that the 1990s Shanghai depicted in "Flowers" will resonate with many Taiwanese audiences. "Because there are many Taiwanese who have experienced that era and contributed to the local economic development and urban construction in Shanghai during that era. After" Flowers "airs, they will recall the fighting spirit and passion that went with them in their youth, and they will be very emotional."

Outside the event, some Taiwanese fans waited for Hu Ge to appear. A middle-aged man said he watched "Flower" three times because he wanted to learn Shanghainese. On social media platforms, some Taiwanese netizens said "because of" Flower ", I, a Taiwanese, want to learn Shanghainese." The following 400 comments started a discussion on "Taiwanese dialect and Shanghainese."

During the dialogue, Hu Ge also smiled and asked: "Many media interviews said that my Shanghainese Mandarin has a Taiwanese accent, so I asked for proof, does my local accent have a Taiwanese accent?" The host said yes, and he said with a smile: "Then I am happier, which means we are not divided from each other."

"After the broadcast of’Flowers’, I met many elders in Shanghai who came to chat with me. I am very grateful to director Wong Kar-wai for allowing me to relive the era in my childhood memory and give me a deeper understanding of the city where I grew up." Hu Ge said that he hoped that "Flowers" would bring Shanghai and Taiwan closer.

　　In order to allow the newly included 11 million taxpayers to adapt to the new tax system as soon as possible and enjoy the reform dividends as much as possible, the tax department recently launched a new round of policy guidance across the country. Recently, in response to the relatively concentrated policy difficulties reported by taxpayers, Lin Feng, deputy director of the Department of Goods and Labor Taxation of the State Administration of Taxation, explained and responded to concerns.

　　6% low tax rate applies to restaurant takeaway

　　Tax incentives continue, and academic education services enjoy VAT exemption

　　In recent years, online food ordering has become a personalized choice for many consumers, and many catering companies are changing to takeaway business models. But should selling takeaway food be subject to a value-added tax rate of 17% like merchandise sales, or enjoy a low tax rate of 6% like traditional catering services?

　　"The sale of takeaway food by restaurants, restaurants and other catering enterprises is not a sale of goods, and there is no need to pay VAT at 17%." Lin Feng said that according to the relevant regulations after the change to the VAT, taxpayers who provide catering services sell takeaway food and pay VAT according to the catering service. Among them, ordinary taxpayers are subject to the lowest rate of 6%.

　　How much will this affect the operating costs of catering companies? "Our monthly takeaway income is 10,000 diverse. If we pay 17% VAT of more than 1,700 yuan, we can now pay more than 1,000 yuan less per month," said Zhang Jing, head of Shandong Zibo High-tech Zone Branch of Burger King (Beijing) Catering.

　　At present, our country implements a 13% value-added tax rate on tap water sales. In reality, many residents buy water through property companies for resale. Some property companies propose that reselling tap water can only obtain 3% of the input invoice, but if the tax is paid at the 13% rate, there will be "high levy and low deduction" of VAT, thus increasing the tax burden.

　　"The finance and taxation department has noticed and issued special policies to properly resolve it." Lin Feng said that for taxpayers who provide property management services, the tap water fee charged by the service recipient is calculated as the sales amount after deducting the tap water fee paid by the taxpayer. According to the simple tax calculation method, it is calculated according to the 3% collection rate.

　　Dong Xiufang, director of company finance of Cangzhou branch of Hebei Travel and Investment Century Property Company, calculated the accounts on the financial statements: After the introduction of the policy, 8 months have passed, the company’s water fee is 79,796.09 yuan, and 2375 yuan value-added tax is paid; and according to the previous tax calculation method, 10373.42 yuan needs to be paid, which is obvious.

　　In order to ensure the smooth transformation of the tax system, the finance and taxation department continues the preferential tax policies during the business tax period in principle based on the actual situation of the industry. Taking education services as an example, after the change from business camp to value-added tax, the original business tax preferential policies have all been translated into value-added tax preferential policies. Educational services provided by academic education can enjoy the value-added tax exemption policy; for general taxpayers to provide non-academic education services, they can also choose to apply the simple tax calculation method to calculate the tax payable according to the 3% collection rate.

　　If the original invoice of the second-hand house is lost, the difference can also be taxed.

　　Real estate development taxes reduce costs and promote inventory removal in third- and fourth-tier cities

　　"I sold a house some time ago, and the agent told me that I need the previous purchase invoice to pay the tax difference, but I can’t find the invoice, and the agent said that it must be paid in full." Some buyers in Beijing said that they had just bought a house for two years, and it was quite expensive when they bought it before. If the full tax burden is too heavy, I hope the tax department can help them.

　　This time, the pilot project of replacing business with value-added tax has been fully launched, and it is the first time that natural persons are involved in paying value-added tax, especially the sale of second-hand houses. Lin Feng said that if taxpayers transfer real estate and pay value-added tax according to the difference in relevant regulations, if they cannot provide the invoice at the time of obtaining the real estate due to loss and other reasons, they can provide the tax authority with other information such as tax payment certificates that can prove the taxable amount of the deed tax, and deduct the difference.

　　So, what information can be used as the basis for proving the amount of tax? The person in charge of the Beijing Municipal Taxation Department told reporters that in order to reduce the impact of the tax change on personal housing transactions, the provable materials include: tax payment vouchers marked as "deed tax" or tax payment certificates, special tax payment certificates for deed tax, deed tax payment certificates, etc.

　　At the same time, the tax authority can also use the means of verifying the housing deed tax records to find out the tax amount, including: file transfer to inquire about the bottom line of the ticket in the inventory file, and the housing management department to adjust the file to inquire about the invoice or deed tax payment certificate records collected when handling the transfer of ownership. In addition, the municipal tax department has specially established a deed tax database, which can be queried immediately.

　　The price of land is one of the important costs in real estate development. It is very popular for real estate enterprises to deduct the land price from the sales volume and then calculate the value-added tax. But what items does the land price include? Many companies are quite concerned.

　　Lin Feng introduced that according to the regulations, the land price includes not only the land acquisition and demolition compensation expenses paid by the land transferee to the government department, but also the land development expenses and land transfer income. The demolition compensation expenses paid by the general taxpayer in the real estate development enterprise to other units or individuals when they sell their development projects are also allowed to be deducted when calculating the sales.

　　"The average selling price of our project can be reduced by 105 yuan per square meter, which stimulates the increase in housing sales." Li Weihong, general manager of Shandong Weifang Xiangkai Real Estate Company, said that after the change of VAT to include demolition compensation and other expenses, the company’s tax burden has been reduced by 33.35%. Through price reduction promotions, the company’s destocking cycle has been shortened from 11.5 months at the end of 2015 to 6.9 months at the end of 2016.

　　The hotel can issue an invoice immediately.

　　Electronic invoices, online invoice application, etc. to reduce the tax burden

　　VAT has the characteristics of ring-ring deduction, and the importance of special VAT invoices as deduction vouchers is self-evident. This puts forward higher requirements for the use and management of invoices after the camp change. How to ensure that taxpayers issue and use VAT invoices in a timely and convenient manner?

　　Mr. Liu is a salesperson at the Chongqing branch of the North China Design and Research Institute of Municipal Engineering. Because of his frequent business trips, issuing invoices has become one of his biggest headaches. "The company’s financing requirements are very strict, and the accommodation fee will only be reimbursed by issuing a special invoice."

　　After the change, small accommodation enterprises need to go to the tax authority to issue special invoices on behalf of consumers, and cannot issue invoices for consumers on site. "Some large enterprises need to issue special invoices to deduct taxes. We can only let the guests check out first, and then mail it to the guests after opening it, and we have to pay the postage." Ji Yanbin, finance minister of Tianwaitian Business Hotel in Wu’an City, Hebei Province, said.

　　In response to taxpayers’ demands, the State Administration of Taxation started a pilot in 91 cities in August last year, allowing small-scale VAT taxpayers in the accommodation industry to issue special VAT invoices by themselves. In November of that year, the pilot was extended to the whole country. "At present, eligible small-scale taxpayers in the accommodation industry can issue special invoices by themselves," Lin Feng said.

　　"In the past, we had to issue hundreds of special invoices for the accommodation industry every day. Now not only do taxpayers pay less taxes and run errands, but the burden on our window is also reduced," said Du Juan, deputy director of the joint tax department of Wu’an City.

　　With the rapid development of the Internet economy, some e-commerce companies have to bear the high cost of mailing paper invoices due to the dispersion of delivery places. Many companies hope to promote the electronic invoice model as soon as possible to save operating costs.

　　In this regard, the State Administration of Taxation has implemented VAT electronic ordinary invoices across the country, and e-commerce enterprises only need to apply to the local competent national tax authority.

　　"Save two hours of printing and mailing time every day, and save more than 500,000 yuan in postage fees throughout the year." Peng Liying, company finance manager of Shandong Zhuochuang Information, said that in the past, more than 300 paper invoices were issued and mailed every day, and the electronic invoice reduced the burden very well.

　　"The appeal of applying for VAT electronic invoices is relatively strong." Wang Zhenzhu, head of the Goods and Labor Department of the State Taxation Bureau of Zibo City, Shandong Province, introduced that in the past year, taxpayers in the city have issued 322,700 VAT electronic ordinary invoices online, and the amount issued is 159 million yuan.

　　In addition, in response to the situation that some enterprises need to go to and from the tax office to apply for VAT invoices, the State Administration of Taxation has also fully implemented the online application service for VAT invoices to achieve "a little mouse, the invoice goes home".

　　Su Kui is the director of the Guangzhou Municipal Passenger Traffic Management Office and one of the policy makers involved in the whole process of this new taxi reform. Consistent with the figures reported by the Ministry of Transportation, he can’t remember how many meetings he held. "I have been in Beijing all the time and hardly returned to Guangzhou." Su Kui said that the formulation of the whole policy from the beginning of the parties’ differences to the final relatively rational consensus, it does take a certain amount of time. It also takes a certain amount of time from the beginning when everyone thinks that online car-hailing is good, to the fact that it can see its shortcomings. Compared with the "eight-year scrapping", "employment contract", "platform reporting" and other issues that the audience is generally concerned about, Su Kui said that although these are also the focus of discussion, they are not the most controversial topics. In the policy-making process, the most difficult thing is to consider the whole. "We must not only let the online car-hailing develop in a standardized environment, but also let it compete fairly with taxis.

　　Whether private cars can enter online car-hailing is not the focus of controversy in the formulation of new regulations

　　At yesterday’s press conference, Vice Minister of Transport Liu Xiaoming introduced that for the introduction of the new regulations, the Ministry of Transport has held dozens of seminars, demonstrations, consultations and seminars of different scopes and levels to widely listen to the opinions of all parties and repeatedly study and demonstrate.

　　As the director of the Guangzhou Municipal Passenger Traffic Management Department, Su Kui participated in almost the whole process, including exchanges between industries and discussions between provincial and municipal authorities; there were voices from online car-hailing companies, as well as the views of ordinary citizens. Gradually form a clear understanding of the development of taxis and online car-hailing.

　　During this period, issues such as private car operation, scrapping system, employment contract, reporting issues, and ride-hailing were all listed as topics for discussion. Some topics were also listed as special project topics for discussion.

　　However, contrary to the imagination of many citizens, whether the private car, which has always been an awkward status, can operate has not become the focus of policy-making discussions. "How to enter the private car and what conditions need to be met are not particularly controversial. These need to be approved by the local government, and ultimately determined by the local government." And private cars can enter the online car-hailing platform thanks to a "new word" – "reservation rental". Su Kui explained that this is not a difficult development. Worldwide, reservation rental has existed for at least 30 years.

　　The development of online car-hailing and fair competition

　　How to balance is the most difficult part of the new regulations

　　These "creations" are not difficult, and it is difficult to play a game of opinions from all parties. Su Kui has repeatedly emphasized that the most controversial thing is how to regulate the development of online car-hailing without restricting the development of online car-hailing? How to develop online car-hailing while ensuring a level playing field for online car-hailing and taxis.

　　For example, 8-year scrapping is considering that if they are all scrapped for 8 years according to the rental operation, it is unfair to the less intensive online car-hailing. It may also push a large number of online car-hailing drivers out of the platform.

　　For another example, in terms of the nature of the platform, it is clearly a transportation service, not an information matchmaker. This is the same as a taxi on the starting line, and it is consistent with the feelings of passengers. What passengers need is a taxi service, not a query to obtain a piece of information. If there is a safety problem, the platform as a transportation service provider needs to take responsibility.

　　Whether it is the exposure draft issued last year or the new regulations that are finally difficult to introduce, the game and trade-off have always been the most difficult thing. "I am relieved that there is basically a relatively rational consensus now," Su Kui said.

　　Give local governments enough space

　　Overall, there is a supportive attitude towards ride-sharing

　　Xu Kangming, a professor at Shanghai Sanyi Urban Planning and Design Co., Ltd., believes that the biggest highlight of the new regulations is that they leave enough space for local governments. Holding some bottom lines, local governments have a lot of room for maneuver in terms of scrap age, vehicle thresholds and prices.

　　Su Kui agreed with this statement. When discussing almost any policy detail, he talked about the role that local governments should play in it.

　　After the introduction of the new regulations, public opinion has seen the benefits for online ride-hailing companies such as Didi and Uber, but some people are concerned that the benefits for online ride-hailing are too good, and a large number of private cars may flood into the private car platform.

　　Sukui admits that vehicles can be licensed and drivers no longer need to sign a fixed employment contract, which will indeed bring benefits, and does not rule out the possibility of a large increase in online car-hailing. But the final decision is up to the local government.

　　Local governments have different requirements for vehicles and drivers, some loose and some strict, which will directly determine the number of online car-hailing. But local governments also need to meet the principles of differentiation and quality, and not all cars can enter the special car market.

　　In terms of ride-sharing development, Su Kui believes that the Ministry of Transport as a whole supports ride-sharing, but it is also necessary to determine the specific content of ride-sharing according to the situation of local governments, and it is recommended that all localities introduce relevant policies simultaneously.

　　Overall, although the Ministry of Transport has issued new regulations, the final decision rests with local governments.

　　Final determination of market price

　　Is to leave room for policy

　　The new regulations will implement the government-guided price or market-adjusted price for online car-hailing, and clearly change it to the market price. On the one hand, there are opinions that the market price is a good practice to respect market laws, and on the other hand, there are opinions that the market price will allow the price to be controlled on the online car-hailing platform.

　　Sometimes in bad weather, many online ride-hailing platforms implement a dynamic fare increase mechanism, which does meet the needs of citizens for taxi travel, but many citizens complain that prices have risen too much.

　　Su Kui introduced that he does pay attention to this issue, but insisting on market prices is also a flexible approach that leaves enough room for local policies and allows the market to conduct trials and errors. Even if it is a market price, the government can take action, setting the highest price, the lowest price, and the room for fluctuation. For example, determine how much the minimum cannot be lower, to ensure that there will be no competition below the cost; the maximum cannot be higher than several times, and the guarantee cannot be sky-high. And even if there is no upper or lower limit, the market can be allowed to play a major regulatory role. If there is a problem, it is not too late for the government to intervene.

　　Impact · Response

　　Online car-hailing platforms have their own strategies for the new regulations

　　Didi

　　The new regulations are the country’s affirmation and encouragement for the development of the sharing economy

　　According to Didi Chuxing, the new regulations clarify the legal status of online car-hailing for the first time from the level of national regulations, which is a milestone for the stable and healthy development of our country’s transportation industry.

　　The relevant person in charge of Didi believes that, compared with the exposure draft announced in October last year, the "Interim Measures" have adopted the opinions and suggestions of all sectors of society, experts and scholars and travel enterprises, and made many revisions and optimizations. On the basis of the license management of online car-hailing platforms, drivers and vehicles, the 8-year scrapping regulations have been cancelled, and they have been scrapped when the mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, which is more in line with the new business model of the part-time-based online car-hailing economy. The "Interim Measures" also deleted the original quantity restriction clause, stipulating that the market will adjust the price in principle, giving the market, platforms and drivers greater autonomy, and affirming new travel methods such as ride-sharing and carpooling.

　　Didi said it will standardize its operations and actively apply for relevant business licenses for online car-hailing platform companies. At the same time, it encourages the integrated development of the Internet and taxis.

　　In addition, according to the new regulations, local governments have some discretion over the specific management standards and operating requirements of online car-hailing. "We sincerely hope that in the process of implementing central policies, local governments at all levels can encourage innovation, streamline administration and decentralize power, and create a good environment for the development of new business models."

　　easy to get

　　Adhere to the mid- to high-end business travel positioning

　　The online car-hailing market is basically stable, and the introduction of new regulations restricts monopolistic behavior, pulling all platforms back to the same starting line. All platforms apply for qualification licenses under the same conditions, making the current market structure possible to restructure. All platforms need to "start again".

　　The new regulations clarify the development orientation of "high-quality service and differentiated operation" of online car-hailing, and stipulate unfair competition behaviors such as low price and lower than cost price. Yidao has always adhered to the positioning of mid-to-high-end business travel, and insisted on forming a differentiated and complementary relationship with traditional cruise taxis in terms of vehicle models, target groups, and service quality.

　　Shenzhou

　　Continue to adhere to the B2C model of professional vehicles and drivers

　　During the policy formulation process, the Ministry of Transport and other departments fully listened to the opinions, suggestions and development demands of all parties, including Shenzhou Special Car, reflecting the country’s development concept and ideas of encouraging innovation, openness and inclusiveness. The release of the document is of great significance for promoting the healthy and orderly development of the online car-hailing industry.

　　Shenzhou Special Car will strictly follow the requirements of online car-hailing regulatory policies and continue to adhere to the B2C model of "professional vehicles, professional drivers" to provide customers with safer and better travel services.

　　Brother who has been in the industry for 15 years turned into a special car driver

　　On the morning of April 21 this year, Fang Guobao set off from his home in a black Camry, officially bid farewell to 15 years of taxi driver career, and turned around to become a Didi special car driver. 15 years of life cannot be easily changed by turning around. Despite reluctance, helplessness and even misunderstandings, Fang Guobao has not regretted his choice in the past three months. "My taxi life is not as good as day by day, I can’t change it, and it’s useless to complain. I can only adapt."

　　tell

　　Taxi revenue is gradually declining

　　Fang Guobao, less than 40 years old this year, is already an old taxi driver who has been driving for 15 years. Since his father is a driving school coach, Fang Guobao has loved cars since he was a child. As soon as he was 18 years old, he took the driver’s license and dreamed of being a taxi driver. In order to pay a taxi deposit of 30,000 yuan, Fang Guobao roasted chicken chops on the roadside for a year, saved more than 20,000 yuan, and borrowed 10,000 yuan from relatives and friends to collect enough money. In 2002, Fang Guobao finally drove the dream taxi.

　　Driving a taxi more than ten years ago, the income is already very high, and you can get about 5,000 yuan a month. In two years, Fang Guobao bought a house in Huairou.

　　However, more than a decade has passed, and the income of taxi drivers has not increased significantly. A little over a year ago, Fang Guobao’s average monthly net income was around 8,000 yuan. A year later, with the rise of taxi-hailing software, Fang Guobao’s net income has dropped to around 6,000 yuan. Fang Guobao clearly feels that the taxi market is getting worse day by day. I didn’t expect that a small software installed on my mobile phone three years ago would bring such a big impact on my life.

　　At the end of last year, Fang Guobao and his colleagues also went to Didi’s headquarters to report problems. They used to hate Didi for stealing business, but the reality is that the taxi environment has changed. He said that it is useless to complain, only to adapt.

　　change

　　The increase in new job service standards

　　On April 21 this year, Fang Guobao officially became a special car driver directly operated by Didi. Over the past three months, Fang Guobao has gradually adapted to the identity of a special car driver, and he has also felt the difference between a taxi driver and a special car driver, and the biggest difference is service. "In the past, driving a taxi was to treat yourself as a means of transportation, take the money to get you to your destination as soon as possible, and then go to the next job. To put it bluntly, it was to run more quickly, and the car drove more fiercely."

　　After becoming a special car driver, there were a lot of hard and fast rules, which even made him feel a little annoying at first. Before leaving the car every day, he sent three photos, photos of his instrument, photos of the exterior of the car, and photos of the interior of the car. Only after passing can he start receiving orders. The car was equipped with mineral water, chargers, and umbrellas, and he tried his best to meet any requests from passengers. "When we wait for passengers, we all get off at the station in front of the door and open the door for passengers. If it rains, we will use umbrellas to pick up passengers." When picking up people at the station or airport, Fang Guobao parked the car in the parking lot, and then walked to the exit of the station to pick up passengers. When encountering passengers with a lot of luggage, he went upstairs to help passengers move. " Dealing with passengers is not a big deal, but service is reflected in these trivial things, which is different from taxis. Frankly speaking, I have never done these things when driving a taxi. "

　　adapt

　　Services can be reflected in income

　　In the beginning, Fang Guobao didn’t want to work because of these rules and regulations. Slowly, as he became familiar with Didi’s software rules and communicated with passengers, Fang Guobao gradually got used to it. Fang Guobao said that the constraints of these rules and regulations are reflected in income. The better the service, the more you earn. Simply put, if the service is done well and the passengers score high, the system will assign high-quality orders to drivers. If the service is not done well, the passengers score low, and there are only some small jobs that do not make money. "If my evaluation is good, the system will often assign me an order of one or two hundred yuan to the airport, which is easy without traffic jams, but if the evaluation is not good, it is a short-distance small job. Catching traffic jams will not make money at all."

　　In the past three months, Fang Guobao’s income has increased compared to before due to the high evaluation of the other party’s national treasure by passengers. In May, he earned more than 9,000 yuan. According to the labor contract signed with the company, the higher the score of the driver, the more commission he can get.

　　Fang Guobao said that when renting, no matter how good your service is, it is difficult to reflect in your income. "No matter how good my attitude is, I will not be able to work more because of this."

　　Memory

　　Worried that it was illegal to drive a special car

　　In the first 15 years, Fang Guobao did not rest for almost 365 days. Every day when he opened his eyes, he thought that one or two hundred yuan of money would be deducted. Every day, he thought of doing more work, leaving early and returning later. Now, the weekly limited number of Japanese Guobao can also take a day off. In the past three months, Fang Guobao has increasingly recognized the identity of the special car driver, but he still cannot ignore the reality that the special car is illegal.

　　Just half a month ago, Fang Guobao was stopped by the law enforcement officers on his way to the airport. The incident happened suddenly, and Fang Guobao and the passengers were shocked in their hearts, and they were inevitably punished in the end. And every driver of a special car has a knot in their hearts during the past few years, fearing that they will be discovered by the law enforcement officers.

　　As for taxis, Fang Guobao wants to say that this is an era of fair competition, and the monopoly situation in the past has been broken. The taxi industry should think about how to improve management and service levels and compete fairly with the special car market. Article/Reporter of this newspaper, Kuang Xiaoying

　　Influence · Interpretation

　　When will the new regulations come into effect in Beijing?

　　Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned that after the introduction of the new regulations of the Ministry of Transport yesterday, the relevant person in charge of the Beijing transportation authority has been organizing learning. But there is no time and details for the introduction of the policy.

　　According to the current legal policy in Beijing, it is not legal for private cars without operating qualifications to connect to online car-hailing platforms. At present, only the first car-hailing operation model complies with the current legal framework and is considered an official car. According to the relevant person in charge of the first car-hailing car, the first car-hailing car will reach 5,000 vehicles in Beijing by the end of the year, meeting the high-end car demand of citizens in the Fifth Ring Road. However, in the near future, Beijing will make a statement on the development of taxis and online car-hailing.

　　Will taxi prices become more expensive?

　　According to the new regulations, it is impossible for the special cars and express cars that citizens are worried about to be expelled from the market. After the introduction of the taxi reform plan exposure draft last year, the relevant person in charge of Yidao Car once stated that a large number of cars do not meet the conditions, which will reduce the number of special cars and cause prices to rise. However, after the new regulations are revised, it will not be so difficult for vehicles to meet the conditions, and there will be no phenomenon of a large number of special car drivers "leaving", so the price will not change much.

　　Zhao Zhen, vice president of the China Transportation Enterprise Management Association, believes that price is a matter of market positioning and a challenge to the management of operating companies. Different places will vary, and prices should vary according to different services and regions. Generally speaking, prices should be more reasonable.

　　How to ensure the safety of passengers taking a taxi?

　　According to the new regulations, the first is to pre-check access, through the qualification of enterprises, vehicles, and drivers, to pre-check the basic capabilities of safety services.

　　The second is post-event operation supervision, requiring online ride-hailing platform companies to implement their main responsibilities and strengthen safety and service management during operation through information technology. At the same time, all localities should build and improve government supervision platforms to achieve information sharing with online ride-hailing service platforms, and strengthen supervision of business practices and the entire process of daily operations.

　　The third is social credit evaluation. By building a credit system for operators and drivers and incorporating it into the national credit information sharing platform, conducting service quality assessments and promptly announcing them to the public, etc., to ensure passengers’ right to know and choose.

　　In addition, the online car-hailing platform should carry out pre-job training and daily education on relevant laws and regulations, professional ethics, service standards, and safe operation, etc., to ensure that the drivers who provide services online are consistent with the drivers who actually provide services offline, and to report the relevant information of the driver to the taxi administrative department where the service is located to ensure the safety of passengers.

　　How can passengers in accidents be compensated?

　　The interim measures make it clear that online car-hailing platforms should purchase carrier liability insurance and other relevant insurance for passengers to fully protect the rights and interests of passengers. Beiqing Daily reporters learned that platforms such as Didi and Yidao have purchased relevant insurance for passengers.

　　Compared with the previous regulations, the new regulations also specify the platform as the carrier more clearly. This means that in the event of a safety problem, the online car-hailing platform cannot say that it only provides information and pushes the responsibility to the driver, but needs to bear the corresponding compensation liability.

　　As a leading enterprise in the ADAS industry, Mobileye currently holds more than 60% of the global market share of visual perception chips. At the same time, the closed visual perception ecosystem established by Mobileye has also become the mainstream form of the industry. Conditional open and relatively convergent perception API requirements have helped Mobileye establish standardized perception interface solutions and quickly promote products to the world, attacking cities and territories.

　　However, time has changed. As current visual ADAS capabilities continue to be upgraded and iterated, the industry expects more open solutions to help OEMs and Tier1 create differentiated and more adaptable ADAS capabilities.

　　The complexity and locality of driving scenarios call for open solutions

　　Once upon a time, a domestic OEM tried to develop an autonomous parking solution based on Mobileye’s visual perception solution. During the implementation of the project, it was necessary to identify the railing at the entrance of the parking lot. However, Mobileye’s closed solution did not support customers to update the perception algorithm independently, resulting in development difficulties.

　　This reflects the dilemma faced by OEMs. On the one hand, Mobileye’s visual perception solution is still the most mature solution at present, with many advantages in terms of product maturity, project risk control and quality management, which OEMs cannot refuse. On the whole, it is a situation of more than conservative and less aggressive. But on the other hand, this closed solution is like a black box. Because of the inability to differentiate and customize development, the performance is homogenized; moreover, in localized driving scenarios, it cannot fully meet the requirements. This limits OEMs to make more aggressive product solutions, which will reduce product competitiveness in the long run.

　　The particularity of China’s driving scene requires a localized sensing solution to meet the functional requirements of ADAS/autonomous driving.

　　At the same time, in order to meet the high reliability requirements of ADAS/autonomous driving for perception, more open perception solutions are also required. For example, if we can identify richer targets and more types of semantic segmentation, then we can obtain richer semantic information, so that different categories can be cross-validated. For example, road shoulders and sidewalks have a clear auxiliary verification function for the judgment of the drivable area. Fixed targets on the roadside, such as traffic signs and street lamps, are of great help in positioning.

　　If the road is covered with snow on a snowy day, how can you tell where the shoulder is? The movie "If You Are the One" describes a dialogue plot:

　　"Hey, you’ve been to [Hokkaido], you must know what the arrows on both sides of the road are for?" Answer: "Oh, in winter, the snow in Hokkaido is very thick, and the arrows instruct people not to drive out of the shoulder of the road."

　　If we can recognize the arrows on either side of the highway, we can reason about the boundaries of the drivable area. The development trend of perception technology requires more open solutions

　　The development of perception technology can be summarized as follows:

　　From simple scenes to complex scenes

　　From high-frequency targets to general targets

　　From 2D perception to 3D perception

　　From reality-oriented perception to prediction-oriented perception

　　All of these trends have further increased the richness and complexity of perception, making it impossible for vendors to use a standard perception solution to meet their needs.

　　In the era of software-defined cars, automakers need a more open approach

　　Intelligence is the core element of brand differentiation in the future, mainly through the addition of software functions. The post-deployment of software will be the general trend, which means that most software functions will be delivered after the car leaves the factory, and software iteration OTA will be the new normal. This trend is particularly important for mobility service operators. Service requirements in various scenarios need to be based on the functions of existing fleets and met by continuous upgrades and iterations.

　　In the future, the car delivered by OEMs will not be a product with solidified functions, but a robot that continues to evolve. Throughout the life cycle of the car, the hardware platform can continue to support software iterative upgrades. The efficiency of software development and differentiated functions will determine the success or failure of this intelligent competition.

　　In order to improve the efficiency of software development, from the perspective of system architecture, service-oriented system architecture (SOA) will become the mainstream, which requires the creation of a new perception solution that meets the requirements of four aspects: a highly open, consistent and complete tool chain, a strong computing power reserve, and strong scalability to meet the requirements of different levels of vehicle platforms.

　　Open perception intermediate results help domestic ADAS functions continue to evolve

　　At present, the perception algorithm API is still relatively closed in the industry. Many features are difficult to implement (such as the augmented reality display function of ADAS function in the infotainment domain), in part because the perception algorithm is only provided for internal use of the intelligent forward-looking camera module and is unwilling to be provided to other subsystems. And the Horizon perception intermediate result can be fully open. And because the low-level semantics of the Horizon algorithm are very rich, the fully open perception intermediate result can support customers to develop more complex functions at the application layer.

　　So far, the Horizon algorithm can support 10 types of dynamic targets and 53 types of static targets. Among them, dynamic targets include: adults, children, cyclists and other pedestrians, as well as cars, SUVs, vans, trucks, passenger cars, motorcycles and elderly scooters 7 categories; while static targets include 8 categories of lane lines, 2 types of traffic lights and 43 types of traffic signs. The richer perception information than Mobileye provides a solid perception foundation for customers to realize differentiated functions.

Rich Perceptual Information Provided by Horizon Algorithm

　　Open and comprehensive toolchain, practicing the concept of "deeply empowering"

　　In order to increase the agility of visual algorithm iteration and better support various extreme perceptual scenarios in China, Horizon has launched the AI chip tool chain Horizon OpenExplorer (Horizon "Tiangong Kaiwu"), including data, training and device deployment tools, such as model training tools, inspection and verification tools, compilers, emulators, embedded development kits, etc. (Figure 9), forming a closed loop. Data generates models, which can be deployed to devices for operation, and can guide the tuning of models during operation, and even collect new data. Such a self-evolving development model can improve development speed, lower development thresholds, and ensure development quality. Based on this model, development manpower can be reduced by about 30%, development time can be saved by 50%, and more importantly, because the development threshold is lowered, the scale of developers can even be expanded by an order of magnitude.

　　Horizon will continue to upgrade the power builder to provide customers with a semi-automated processing flow. Mainly include: closed-loop iteration between data tools and models, models and on-end devices; rich model/system reference prototypes, simple and easy to use intuitive and convenient interaction means; standardized development process, plus continuous testing, integration, and deployment mechanisms.

Horizon "Tiangong Kaiwu" chip tool chain

　　More specifically, Horizon’s model training tool can support mainstream deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow to help users train their own models; the compiler supports converting the open-source training framework model format to the binary format on the chip; and the embedded development kit can support customers to call the algorithm library to develop their own applications, allowing customers to quickly deploy applications in chip manufacturers. The entire toolchain package can cover the complete development link (Figure 10). After optimization by the Horizon compiler, the memory access bottleneck of the algorithm can be greatly alleviated and the computing efficiency of the chip can be improved (Figure 11).

　　Development Process Based on "Tiangong Kaiwu" Tool Chain

Algorithms automatically optimized by the Horizon compiler provide significant performance improvements

　　Recently, Horizon partnered with South Korea’s SK Telecom to develop a dynamic crowdsourced high-definition mapping solution. SK used Horizon’s toolchain to develop a visual perception algorithm for Korean roads, demonstrating the ease of use and reliability of the toolchain.

　　In short, the opening of Horizon is a deep and multi-dimensional comprehensive opening from providing system reference solutions, to fully open sensing results, and then to full-stack solutions of toolchains, fully empowering the intelligent development of the automotive industry. If customers advocate the concept of division of labor and cooperation to maximize efficiency, Horizon provides software and hardware integrated chip solutions; if customers prefer to maximize capabilities and want to use their own algorithms, Horizon provides customers with pure chips and a complete toolchain to help customers achieve deep enough development freedom and practice the long-term commitment of "deep empowerment".

Hubei Daily News (Reporter Liu Chang, correspondent Cheng Shuxiong, Ba Yangang) On May 8, Xinzhou District of Wuhan held a promotion meeting for attracting investment in Shenzhen. Many well-known domestic enterprises planned to invest more than 10 billion yuan in the Wuhan National Aerospace Industry Base named "China Xinggu".

At the promotion meeting, more than 50 key enterprises and research institutes, including Shenzhen Investment Holding, Shenzhen Yiyatong Supply Chain Company, Zhongchuan Huaxia International Travel Group, Zhuhai Obit Aerospace Science and Technology Company and Shenzhen Research Institute of Wuhan University, gathered together to seize the new track and talk about "new opportunities".

China’s first flexible intelligent satellite batch production line was completed and put into operation, with an annual output of 240 satellites; Since 2022, the world’s leading new solid rocket Kuaizhou No.11 has been successfully launched. The "Xinzhou Made" Kuaizhou rocket has 6 battles and 6 victories, and the rocket company has been promoted to the unicorn enterprise in China; The base has initially realized the gathering pattern of stars, arrows, clouds and aerospace materials … The efforts and prospects of "China Star Valley" to actively build China Aerospace roof of the world have strengthened Greater Bay Area entrepreneurs’ confidence in investing in Xinzhou. Eight entrepreneurs from Greater Bay Area were employed as "ambassadors for investment promotion" in Xinzhou District.

On the same day, a total of seven projects were signed in the fields of aerospace, new materials, intelligent manufacturing and big health, with a total investment of 16.5 billion yuan. Among them, the Wuhan National Aerospace Industry Base in Xinzhou signed an investment of more than 10 billion yuan, accounting for over 60%.

On May 31, the Securities Supervision Commission said that it had recently made an administrative penalty decision on Hengda Real Estate’s bond fraud issuance and information disclosure violations according to law, ordered Hengda Real Estate to correct, gave a warning and fined 4.175 billion yuan, and imposed a top fine of 47 million yuan on the then chairperson and actual controller of Hengda Real Estate.

This time, the Securities Supervision Commission punished Hengda Real Estate’s fraudulent issuance of bonds according to 20% of the proceeds raised, and imposed a maximum fine on its information disclosure violations. This is the strictest measure since the unified law enforcement of the bond market. It not only punishes financial fraud severely according to the law, but also fully considers the scale of Hengda Real Estate bonds and the overall work of "guaranteeing the delivery of housing", and insists on the unity of political, social and legal effects. At the same time, the Securities Supervision Commission is promoting the investigation of relevant intermediaries.

Inflated revenue and profits, inExchange market fraud

The Securities Supervision Commission found that from 2019 to 2020, Evergrande Real Estate inflated its income and profits by recognizing its income in advance, resulting in fraudulent issuance of bonds publicly issued in the exchange market, and the relevant annual reports disclosed contained false records. At the same time, Evergrande Real Estate also failed to disclose regular reports on time, failed to disclose major litigation and arbitration as required, and failed to disclose due debts as required.

Securities Supervision Commission administrative penalty decision shows that the punishment involves Xu Jiayin and many other Hengda real estate executives at that time.

In terms of the amount involved, the penalty decision found that in 2019 Hengda Real Estate implemented financial fraud by confirming income in advance, and the false income was 2139.89 billion yuan, accounting for 50.14% of the current operating income, corresponding to the false cost of 173.267 billion yuan, false profit 40.722 billion yuan, accounting for 63.31% of the total profit of the current period.

In 2020, the inflated income was 350.157 billion yuan, accounting for 78.54% of the current operating income, corresponding to 2988.68 billion yuan of inflated costs and 51.289 billion yuan of inflated profits, accounting for 86.88% of the current total profit.

Due to the fact that the relevant data of the 2019 and 2020 annual reports with false records were quoted in the issuance documents announced during the issuance of the above bonds, Evergrande Real Estate fraudulently issued 20.80 billion yuan of bonds from May 2020 to April 2021.

In addition, Evergrande Real Estate failed to disclose the 2021 annual report, 2022 interim report and 2022 annual report on schedule, failed to disclose the situation of major litigation and arbitration as required, and failed to disclose the situation of failing to pay off due debts as required.

The penalty decision shows that as of August 31, 2023, Hengda Real Estate has not disclosed a total of 1533 major litigation and arbitration matters (the amount involved 50 million or more) in a timely manner as required since January 1, 2020, and the amount involved is 431.259 billion yuan.

As of August 31, 2023, Hengda Real Estate has failed to pay off 2,983 maturing debts in a timely manner since January 1, 2021, involving an amount of 2785.31 billion yuan.

Hengda Real Estate’s financial fraud is integratedtransformadvance, Xu Jiayin is to blame

In terms of wording, the punishment decision used terms such as "the means were particularly bad and the circumstances were particularly serious" for Xu Jiayin, the then chairperson. In view of Xu Jiayin’s decision and organization of financial fraud, the means were particularly bad and the circumstances were particularly serious. In accordance with the "Securities Law" and other relevant provisions, Xu Jiayin was banned from the securities market for life.

The Securities Supervision Commission stated that the evidence in the case is sufficient to prove that Xu Jiayin, as the chairperson and actual controller of Evergrande Real Estate, arranged and organized financial fraud, such as asking for the adjusted income level of operating indicators and deciding what index data to use. These related matters are all important components of the financial fraud process, which directly led to the illegal acts of fraudulent issuance and false records in Evergrande Real Estate. Accordingly, the Securities Supervision Commission determined that it made decisions and organized the implementation of financial fraud, and took responsibility for fraudulent issuance and false records in annual reports.

"In addition to failing to fulfill his duty of diligence as chairperson of Evergrande Real Estate, Xu Jiayin used the control of the actual controller over the company to instruct relevant personnel to commit financial fraud," the penalty decision states.

The Securities Supervision Commission believes that the evidence in the case proves that the financial fraud of Hengda Real Estate is the cooperation of the relevant functional areas of business of the company, the company headquarters and the project company are promoted as a whole, and the means of fabricating important facts such as modifying and adjusting the delivery list of the year and modifying the delivery time of the Mingyuan system are taken. It involves a wide range and a large amount of fraud. These matters have obviously exceeded the scope of duties and performance procedures that the chairperson can organize and implement.

Hengda Real Estate Bond Fraudulent Issuance and False Records in Annual Reportsnot exceededstatute of limitations

Xu Jiayin stated in his defense opinion that Hengda Real Estate’s illegal behavior has exceeded the time limit for administrative punishment and should not be subject to administrative punishment, and the audit institution should be held responsible.

In this regard, the Securities Supervision Commission believes that the "Administrative Punishment Law" stipulates that if the illegal act is not discovered within two years, no administrative penalty will be imposed, unless the law provides otherwise. As long as the clues of the illegal act have entered the field of vision of the competent authority, the illegal act should be determined to be "discovered".

In August 2021, Hengda Real Estate risk broke out. In December 2021, relevant departments organized accounting firms to conduct an asset inventory special project audit of Hengda Group. In March 2022, the audit found that Hengda Real Estate was suspected of violations such as early recognition of income. Therefore, the illegal acts involved in the case were discovered by the competent authorities no later than March 2022.

Evergrande Real Estate disclosed its 2019 and 2020 annual reports in April 2020 and April 2021 respectively. At the same time, the issuance time of the five bonds of 20 Evergrande 02, 20 Evergrande 03, 20 Evergrande 04, 20 Evergrande 05, and 21 Evergrande 01 was not earlier than May 26, 2020, and the time of discovery was not more than 2 years from March 2022. The responsible personnel in this case participated in the preparation of false data and reports or signed the corresponding reports and documents, and did not exceed the 2-year time limit for administrative penalties.

In summary, Hengda Real Estate disclosed false records in the 2019 and 2020 annual reports and the illegal issuance of fraudulent bonds of public distribution companies are within the time limit for administrative penalties.

Netcom interview During the 2023 Chengdu Auto Show, in an exclusive interview with Netcom News Agency, Bach, deputy general manager of Geely Automobile Sales Company and general manager of Galaxy Business Unit, said that the E8 is Galaxy’s first pure electric product, and he hopes that the vehicle can become Galaxy’s pure electric flagship masterpiece. As time progresses, the E8 is planned to be released in the fourth quarter and deliveries will start within the year.

Netcom: What are the highlights of Geely’s booth this year?

Bach:Geely brought all the family to the exhibition, including the Galaxy Light concept car, Galaxy L7, Galaxy L6 and other Galaxy series; China Star, Emgrand, and Planet and other auspicious star series; Panda mini, Geometric E Firefly and other geometric series were on display; there was also a new generation of Raytheon 8848 technology display. The biggest highlight this time is the pre-sale of Geely Galaxy L6 released today on the booth.

Netcom: Geely Galaxy L7 has become one of the best-selling hybrid models within 200,000 yuan since its launch. Galaxy is a new mid-to-high-end new energy series launched by Geely brand. Its first product, L7, is placed in the 150,000-class electric hybrid SUV market that has been dominated by the first movers. What do you think are the reasons behind it?

Bach:For many reasons, first of all, the domestic market has a large hybrid market, and this year there is a relatively large outbreak. The first half of the data is probably more than 90% growth space, so thanks to such a day.

In addition, we have relatively solid product fundamentals. On the one hand, our Raytheon electric hybrid technology, such as Raytheon three-speed variable frequency electric drive and mass-produced engine with peak thermal efficiency, allows electric hybrid products to achieve more extreme performance in terms of energy saving and performance. Another example is our battery quality, the Aegis battery safety system equipped with Geely Galaxy L7, which conducts more than 100 battery pack-level basic tests based on full-scenario extreme operating conditions, 80 more than the national standard, and the safety quality has passed the rigorous tests of many industry authorities.

On the other hand, Geely Galaxy L7 has also inherited Geely’s long-standing excellent product genes, including chassis and vehicle safety.

In addition, on this basis, we have also equipped this product with some of our internal features called charm configuration, such as some functions related to smart cockpit, such as pampering the co-pilot, multi-screen linkage, etc., which are now popular among young consumers.

So in general, on the one hand, the overall growth of the big environment is relatively good, and on the other hand, the products are specially developed and designed for the hybrid market. Combining these two aspects, coupled with Geely Automobile Group’s early strategic layout and deep technical investment in the new energy field, it has now built a complete set of strict intelligent electric vehicle industry chain system, covering from three electricity, chip, intelligent architecture, to intelligent cockpit, intelligent driving, intelligent computing center, to production and manufacturing, battery recycling and other technical fields. There have been more than 3,500 patented technologies in the new energy field, providing a strong technical guarantee for building safer new energy vehicles.

Net News Agency: You also mentioned that the Galaxy L6 starts pre-sale today. In fact, the competition in this segment is still very fierce. In this context, what are your expectations for it, and what are its competitive advantages compared to similar products?

Bach:L6 is the most intense A-class sedan market in China, so I think you must have real product strength in this field.

On the one hand, it inherits the family factors, hybrid system, 3DHT, and battery, including architecture, chassis, and our basic product mechanical qualities. In addition, we also carry the 8155 chip, and Galaxy’s operating system, including the AI big model we have introduced now, can do voice conversations outside the car, which makes Geely Galaxy series cars, including L6, have many new and different ways to play. That is, what I just said, the basic quality of the product and the charm configuration can be combined in this product.

At the same time, the L6 product, in this field, can achieve both power and energy saving, both maneuverability and comfort, which is relatively rare.

Netcom News Agency: In the past 5 months from Galaxy’s official announcement to the present, there are only 2 products, and the sales performance is good. In addition to sales, what progress has been made in channel construction? And has the sales performance met the original expectations?

Bach:First, we have created a new channel ecosystem of compound franchise authorization for the Galaxy series, with "a new channel ecosystem, a new service standard, and a new user experience", striving to "satisfy users" as the standard of Geely Galaxy. At present, our Galaxy stores across the country have reached more than 400, and it is expected to reach 650-700 by the end of the year. This scale has basically covered the vast majority of consumer areas. Even if there are more than 400 now, most consumers can buy cars nearby.

Second, we have also realized the model of online and offline channel linkage. Based on the digital empowerment of Xingrui Smart Computing Center, Geely Galaxy stores have created a "digital exhibition hall" to connect the full link of user car purchase by digital means, so as to achieve double improvement of service efficiency and user experience. Users can skip the annoying bargaining link, directly place an order through the online payment platform, and visually track the status of the vehicle anytime, anywhere; furthermore, the details are more attentive. For example, when users book a test drive through the Geely Galaxy APP, even the drinks they want to drink that day can be selected online and enjoyed directly at the store.

Continuously strengthening service quality and service quality, that is, the service level of national channels is also moving towards a new level, so relatively speaking, there is still considerable progress in these aspects.

Going purely online, users can directly place orders online, including reservations, including delivery, all of which can be fully reflected in our online.

Network News Agency: A few days ago, the Galaxy E8 has also seen some voices. Users have very high expectations for this car. Let’s briefly introduce the positioning of this car and what product advantages it will have after it goes on sale.

Bach:It is not convenient to disclose too much information now. I will pick some core points. The length of this car is more than 5 meters, which is based on the SEA architecture. In addition, in the cockpit, we now directly release a 45-inch, 8K high definition smart screen to you, which will carry more car applications in the future.

E8 is Galaxy’s first pure electric product, and we hope it can become Galaxy’s pure electric flagship masterpiece. As time goes by, we will meet users one after another in the fourth quarter, and finally go on the market and achieve delivery within the year.

Netcom: In the past two years, users have been considering an increasingly high proportion of intelligent driving when choosing a car. What do you think of this issue and Geely’s layout in this area?

Bach:Geely invested relatively early in intelligent driving, and invested relatively high in these traditional manufacturers in China. This ability at the L2 level is available. Later, we will also target the related capabilities of NOA, and continue to launch corresponding products through the superposition of products. There will also be product plans in the future, and NOA will also meet with users during the year. In this regard, including the L6, L7, and E8 mentioned just now, NOA will eventually be available.

In addition, most of Geely’s layout in this area is self-researched, which is actually Geely’s long-term layout, including our low-orbit satellites to provide high-precision positioning for future mobile travel. Therefore, the technological achievements of smart Geely 2025 will gradually be landed and empowered on Galaxy products.

Network News Agency: This year’s intelligent driving has been very popular, but Geely may not have performed so well in terms of the overall model price.

Bach:We can pull out some space to give the user experience. So this is also a process of gradual adaptation. People who choose new energy products in the early stage will pay more attention to smart cockpit and smart driving, but now in fact, new energy products have reached a stage of popularization. When they are popularized to the vast majority of users, they may not care much about smart cockpit or smart driving at the beginning, but as time goes by, he will find that this thing is easy to use and convenient for it, so the popularity rate will gradually increase.

NEWS: This year, the new energy penetration rate in the automotive market has approached 30%, and it is likely to reach 35% or even higher in the second half of the year. At present, Geely’s new energy sales are not rising month-on-month in the past few months. What do you think of Geely’s overall performance in the new energy market and Geely’s follow-up plans for the whole?

Bach:In the first half of the year, Geely’s overall new energy sales were nearly 200,000, and there were about 40,000 sales in July. In the field of new energy, as far as the Geely brand is concerned, we now have two major new energy pillars, Galaxy and Geometry. Geometry is biased towards popular pure electric products. Galaxy’s mid-to-high-end new energy products, especially the first two products of our Galaxy are mainly hybrid, and then the following products are mainly pure electric, and the overall layout is relatively perfect. Therefore, whether it is from low to high, or from hybrid to pure electric, Geely has been in the horizontal and vertical layout, which can gradually be reflected in our sales.
