"China Star Jump" helps diving rookie counterattack professional players


Click to watch more video highlights of Star Jump > >



Killer took off handstand.



Xing Aowei takes off.



Gao Hu’s Flying Swallow Action


  Zhejiang Satellite TV’s large-scale charity star diving reality show "China Star Jump", since last week’s transfer to the semi-finals of the master’s tricks, the overall difficulty of the players’ jumping has improved, and the difficulty of the movements has erupted collectively. Especially in Gao Hu and Killer, two "high-platform kings" jumped out of the amazing professional-level movements. Killer took out the difficult movement of 611A handstand and somersaulted forward for half a week in the first jump, and then challenged the highest difficulty 202A of the 10-meter platform since the launch of the diving program, while Gao Hu 302C’s perfect jump of reflexively somersaulted and hugged her knees for one week, which was praised by Olympic champion Li Na, a substitute judge, as "the height that professional athletes can only reach after practicing for one year". This week’s second semi-final is still full of experts, especially Xing Aowei, the Olympic gymnastics champion of cross-border diving, who created a dazzling 720-degree somersault and a 180-degree twist against the sky in the preliminary round. The semi-final will continue to carry forward the spirit of innovation and threatened to "jump the diving action of the next Olympic Games" if he advanced to the final.


  Killer, Xing Aowei and Gao Hu, who are also non-professional divers, have turned from inexperienced diving novices to almost professional ones. Their respective advantages of "being in harmony with the right time and the right people" are prominent, which is an important weight for their successful breakthrough and the secret behind their successful counterattack.


  Location: Gao Hu grew up facing the sea, and his childhood "plunge" warmed up and dived.


  Gao Hu is the "king of the platform" among the contestants. He not only won the 10m platform at the fastest speed in training, but also was the first person in the competition. In addition to the courage and boldness of "being too high to be happy", Gao Hu showed an amazing and perfect swallow in the preliminary round, and the difficulty of the action was also upgraded all the way. Especially in the last semi-final, Gao Hu 302C made a perfect jump by doing a reverse somersault and holding her knees for a week. Even Olympic champion judge Li Na praised this as "the height that professional players can only reach after practicing for one year". He also relied on this difficult and perfect jump to sit firmly on the spot and advance directly to the final without any suspense.


  The reason why Gao Hu achieved such amazing diving attainments in a short time can be said to be due to the "geographical advantage" occupied since childhood. He is a native of Qingdao, and the urban environment surrounded by the sea on three sides gives Gao Hu a unique advantage before diving. According to Gao Hu himself, "I grew up facing the sea, and I have a deep plot about water. My whole family likes swimming very much, so I have been moving freely in the water since I was three or four years old". According to Gao Hu’s recollection, there are many hills and rocks in his hometown near Qingdao. When he was a child, he was bold. He often avoided his parents’ attention with his friends and jumped from the rocks to the water for excitement. Although the equipment was rudimentary and there was no technical content, his childhood experience was similar to that of today’s diving, especially because he learned Gao Hu’s boldness. It is no wonder that he was able to walk calmly on the 10-meter platform on the first day of training. He once said that "I am not afraid of heights at all and like to challenge the limits." Gao Hu, who has excellent water quality, also revealed that he had passed the diving certificate when he traveled to Palau.


  In addition, Gao Hu is also a sportsman. He likes to play volleyball since he was a child. He is the leader of the school volleyball team. He has participated in many municipal competitions with the team, and volleyball has also trained Gao Hu’s good arm strength.


  Timing: Killer was born with good gene dance skills and was born with boldness.


  Killer has been called "Zhang Dadan" since she entered the competition. In the preliminary competition, she was the first woman on the 10m platform, which was as famous as Gao Hu. In the semi-finals, she was even more powerful, with two consecutive jumps. The first jump of 611A turned upside down for half a week, becoming the first woman to use platform handstand, while the second jump of 202A turned backwards for a week, which was the highest difficulty since the diving program was launched.


  The reason why Killer dives so well can be said that she won at the starting line because of her favorable weather and natural genes. Killer’s mother is a dance teacher, and her innate motor genes, coupled with the super-high physical flexibility of practicing dance since childhood, give her obvious advantages in diving. In addition, Killer, who is bold by nature, also said that he was particularly love the water and liked swimming since childhood. This boldness surprised everyone when Killer walked into the diving hall for the first time, and immediately won the 10m platform, giving the competitors a modest "duel". In a daily training, the diving hall was suddenly cut off due to an accident, and it was suddenly plunged into darkness. At that time, the staff and players present, especially the girls, screamed with fear and scrambled to climb ashore from the water. At that time, Killer, who was on the shore, jumped into the water and swam in the dark diving hall, exclaiming that "such an opportunity is too rare, swimming in the dark is very exciting", which attracted Gao Hu present to be outdone and jumped into the water.


  People and Peace: Coach Xing Aowei and the judges all found that small gymnastics and diving are connected.


  As the Olympic champion of gymnastics, Xing Aowei still can’t hide the champion’s potential in cross-border diving. In addition to his amazing jump in the preliminary round, he let the audience see the high platform handstand for the first time, and even created a dazzling "anti-heaven" action in the second jump: 720-degree somersault and 180-degree turn, which caused a full house of applause. This action is even more created by Xing Aowei. In the semi-finals, he said that he would continue to carry forward the spirit of innovation, and he confidently threatened to "jump the diving action of the next Olympic Games" if he could advance to the final.


  Xing Aowei has the highest starting line among all the players. As a gymnast of the national gymnastics team and an Olympic gold medal champion, he stood out among all the players from the first day of training. The national diving team and the gymnastics team are veritable neighbors. They used to practice in the same training hall. Therefore, many national diving team members and Xing Aowei have been good friends since childhood, including Li Na, the world diving champion who is the coach in this competition. Therefore, Xing Aowei has no pressure and a sense of formality in the training process. Although gymnastics and diving are two completely different sports, they have a lot in common, especially turning and tumbling, which is why Li Xiaopeng of Prince of gymnastics was specially invited to the jury, and Li Xiaopeng’s position was to comment on diving from a semi-professional perspective. Xing Aowei and Li Xiaopeng are both Olympic champions. Since Li Xiaopeng can be a judge, it can be seen that Xing Aowei’s starting line is high, and their teammates, especially good brothers, let him score in the judges’ scoring.

McDonald’s, which has been in China for 37 years, has just been sold to China people! Will hamburgers be authentic in the future?

McDonald’s and KFC are believed to be the memories of a generation of Chinese people.

Fund Jun remembers that when he first ate it, he traveled to Shenzhen as a child. At the first meal, he clamored for McDonald’s, because he had long yearned for it in front of the overwhelming TV advertisements at that time.

There is a joke that says: the first English letter learned by kindergartens or primary school students was basically not A, but M, the M of McDonald’s.

After the reform and opening up, McDonald’s is one of the first two "foreign fast food" from the United States to enter the China market. After more than 30 years in China, I finally sold China’s business to China people.

(The first McDonald’s restaurant in mainland China at the east gate of Shenzhen)

Let’s take a look at the opening of the first McDonald’s in China.

On October 8, 1990, the first McDonald’s restaurant in mainland China — — Guanghua Restaurant was grandly opened in Dongmen Commercial Pedestrian Street, Luohu District, Shenzhen.

The queue for buying fast food went from the third floor to the first floor of the restaurant, and then turned around the whole Guanghua several times. Many people from Shenzhen went to taste McDonald’s food with their families. The customers who came to watch the grand opening of McDonald’s restaurant packed more than half of Dongmen Commercial Street.

The number of employees serving the opening of the new restaurant is nearly 1000. In addition to the first batch of more than 400 employees in China, McDonald’s temporarily transferred more than 500 employees from the Hong Kong company to help.

Guanghua restaurant at that time could be settled in Hong Kong dollars or RMB. Unexpectedly, the front of the Hong Kong dollar settlement counter was crowded with Shenzhen people who were born and raised in Shenzhen. It is said that in order to come to McDonald’s to taste the fast food chain, they all prepared a sufficient amount of Hong Kong dollars in advance.

Yes, McDonald’s in China changed its name from "foreign" to "Chinese".

On August 4th, CITIC Hong Kong Stock Exchange announced that the acquisition of the controlling interest in McDonald’s business in China Mainland and Hong Kong was completed on July 31st. This will become the largest McDonald’s franchise business outside the United States, and the partners will operate and manage about 2,700 McDonald’s restaurants in China Mainland and Hongkong market.

CITIC announced on January 9th this year that CITIC, CITIC Capital Holdings, Carlyle Investment Group and McDonald’s, a subsidiary of CITIC Group, jointly announced that they had reached a strategic cooperation and established a new company. The new company will acquire McDonald’s business in mainland China and Hong Kong for a total consideration of up to US$ 2.08 billion (about HK$ 16.14 billion).

After the transaction is completed, CITIC and CITIC Capital will hold a total of 52% of the controlling shares in the new company, while Carlyle and McDonald’s will hold 28% and 20% respectively.

CITIC Group has a total of 176 companies with total assets of 2.1 trillion yuan, and its business involves finance, resources and energy, manufacturing, engineering contracting, real estate and other fields. In recent years, CITIC Group has also begun to lay out the consumption field. Just before the acquisition of McDonald’s China, Chunxin Capital, a subsidiary of CITIC Group, acquired 100% equity of Jianlibao Trade in the hands of Uni-President Group for 950 million yuan.

Quite simply, the good times in China market are gone.

Think about it, will you go to McDonald’s and KFC every day to solve the problem of eating?

The data shows that the market share of KFC and McDonald’s in China’s fast food industry has dropped from about 57% (40% and 17% for two brands respectively) to about 37% (24% and 13% for two brands respectively).

Unable to maintain high growth, the trick McDonald’s came up with to get out of the predicament is to sell its brand management rights in the China market for the next 20 years, including the management rights of 2,200 stores that are operating.

Both companies have obtained a lot of funds for this round of transactions, which will be an important source of their next investment from me. Both companies have a large number of restaurants waiting to be renovated — — No matter what kind of restaurant, young people want a more comfortable and fashionable dining environment. In order to find consumers in the fragmented market, they have to catch up with the trend of digitalization. These all need money, a lot of money.

Fund Jun did a search in Weibo. This kind of problem actually appeared.

Many netizens are asking:

Are there any cups, toilet paper, free wifi, ketchup and straws available for free?

You can’t get ketchup after that.

I just want to ask, when boycotting American goods in the future, should McDonald’s boycott [allow sorrow]

Can I go to McDonald’s to go to the bathroom in the future?

These strange questions can only be observed later.

Today, Fund Jun continued to talk about the development of overseas brands after Chinese capital acquired them.

On May 21st, 2012, Wanda announced the acquisition of AMC, the second largest cinema in the world, for US$ 2.6 billion. This is the first international merger of China’s cultural industry and Wanda’s total transaction amount is 2.6 billion US dollars, including buying 100% equity and taking on debt. According to the M&A agreement, after the completion of the merger, Wanda Group will take over 338 cinemas under AMC and operate AMC as its wholly-owned subsidiary, and at the same time inject no more than 500 million US dollars into it every year.

A masterpiece of Wanda’s overseas mergers and acquisitions is now caught in the dilemma of loss-making and layoffs. On August 2nd, AMC Entertainment Holding Company (hereinafter referred to as "AMC"), a subsidiary of Wanda Group, released its second-quarter performance forecast, with estimated revenue ranging from $1.2 billion to $1.204 billion, net loss ranging from $174.5 million to $178.5 million, and loss per share ranging from $134 to $1.36, compared with earnings per share of 24 cents in the same period last year. In the face of performance losses, AMC also indicated that it will cut costs through measures such as layoffs. However, under the situation that the global film market is relatively depressed, AMC faces greater challenges. For Wanda Group, the frequent performance difficulties of overseas assets are not conducive to the layout of Wanda Group’s global film and television industry.

In 2004, under the auspices of Yang Yuanqing, Lenovo acquired IBM’s PC business for a total price of 1.25 billion US dollars. This acquisition, which Lenovo called "snake swallowing elephant", made Lenovo become the third largest computer manufacturer in the world.

After the acquisition, Lenovo experienced a long run-in because of cultural conflicts and changes in management. Until 2008, Lenovo lost $226 million, and Lenovo CEO was changed from Amelio, who was originally from IBM, to Yang Yuanqing.

In the 12 months to the end of March 2017, Lenovo’s total revenue was $43 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 4%. It made a net profit of $535 million, but nearly 85% of it came from the income from selling houses in the past year. Other products, including personal computers, mobile phones and servers, contributed less than $100 million in profits.

In the past fiscal year, Lenovo’s PC business was not very good, facing the global environment of the fifth consecutive year of decline in shipments. And, although Lenovo’s market share as of the end of 2016 is still the first in the world, reaching 21.7%, the second-ranked HP has narrowed the gap from 1.8% to 1.3%. An important reason for the overall market search is that people don’t change computers as frequently as before: once in the past 3-4 years, now 5-6 years.

In October 2014, Lenovo Group acquired Motorola Mobility, with a total acquisition of about 2.91 billion US dollars, and Lenovo immediately became the third largest smartphone manufacturer in the world.

After the acquisition, nearly 3,500 employees from all over the world will join Lenovo, including about 2,800 employees in the United States.

Lenovo will adopt a dual-brand strategy, that is, the parallel strategy of MOTO and Lenovo. Moto will be a supplement to Lenovo’s high-end product line in China, and its product design, R&D and operation are completely independent.

Looking back at Lenovo Mobile’s strategy, it is widely believed that Lenovo failed to grasp the transformation of Internet mobile phones or the offline channel changes initiated by OPPO and vivo.

In terms of mobile business, the revenue of Lenovo’s mobile business group since 2014 decreased by 10% year-on-year to US$ 7.707 billion. Revenue outside the China market fell by 5.4%, and profit margin before tax fell by 1.9%. At the beginning of 2014, Lenovo still had the status of the second smartphone manufacturer in China, but in the past three years, its ranking dropped to ten, and it was overtaken by Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo and other mobile phones.

On the morning of January 12th, 2016, the signing ceremony of Wanda Culture Group’s acquisition of American Legendary Pictures Company was officially held in Beijing. Wanda Group will acquire 100% of Legendary Pictures, a well-known Hollywood film and television production company in the United States, with a cash of no more than US$ 3.5 billion (about RMB 23 billion), which is also the largest cultural acquisition of China enterprises overseas. Thomas Tull, Chairman and CEO of Legendary Pictures, will remain in office and continue to be responsible for the day-to-day operation of the company.

One year after Wanda acquired Legendary Pictures, ThomasTull, founder, chairman and CEO of Legendary Pictures, announced his resignation.

On January 17, 2017, the American media "Hollywood Reporter" reported that Thomas Tour’s resignation was not voluntary, but was under pressure from Wanda. Wanda is dissatisfied with his management level and ability to operate the Great Wall, Pacific Rim 2 and other projects.

On January 19th, Dalian Wanda Group Co., Ltd. issued a statement saying that online media reported recently that Thomas, the legendary American CEO, resigned because of the failure of Great Wall. The report is unverified and seriously inaccurate.

On August 2, 2010, Geely Holding Group officially completed the acquisition of all the shares of Volvo Car Company, a subsidiary of Ford Motor Company.

When negotiating the acquisition of Volvo, Li Shufu met with Volvo engineers. The other party made a somewhat harsh request, asking him to explain in three words why Geely’s acquisition of Volvo is the best. The scene was a little tense, and the host tried to beat the circle. Li Shufu stopped him: no problem, I can answer, three words, very good, because, "IloveYou!" "

Seven years after Geely acquired Volvo’s passenger car business, the two sides plan to jointly enter the mid-to-high-end automobile market in the form of a joint venture.

On August 4th, Link Investment Co., Ltd. was established in Ningbo, Zhejiang. This is a three-party joint venture, with Geely Automobile Holdings Limited, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group and Volvo Car Group holding 50%, 20% and 30% respectively.

Many market participants are optimistic about the cooperation between Geely Automobile and Volvo. Ni Wei, an analyst at Everbright Securities, said in the research report that they are optimistic about the long-term cooperation between Geely and Volvo based on Lectra. "The company or its own brand will switch up one of the most certain targets." The research report predicts that the sales volume of the Lectra brand will reach 15,000, 150,000 and 300,000 respectively from 2017 to 2019.

In 2016, Haier Group announced on January 15th that it would acquire the home appliance business of General Electric (GE). The acquisition amount is $5.4 billion, which will take over the personnel of GE’s home appliance department and its business base in the United States. At the same time, it will also obtain intellectual property rights and "GE" brand, which will be used as a foothold for officially opening up developed countries such as Europe and America. GE and Haier also announced that they will establish a long-term strategic partnership and explore cooperation in industrial internet, medical care and advanced manufacturing.

On the evening of March 30, 2016, Midea Group announced that Midea intends to acquire 80.1% equity of Toshiba’s white goods business with its own funds of about US$ 473 million after negotiation between the two parties. With this transaction, Midea will receive 40 years of global authorization from Toshiba brand, more than 5,000 patents related to household appliances, and the markets, channels and manufacturing bases of Toshiba household appliances in Japan, China and Southeast Asia. However, Midea’s acquisition needs to undertake about $220 million in debt from Toshiba’s home appliances.

TCL Group, one of the pioneers in the field of household appliances in China, and Thomson Company, the fourth largest consumer electronics supplier in the world, formally signed an agreement in Guangzhou to reorganize their color TV and DVD businesses and form the largest color TV supplier in the world — — — TCL— Thomson electronics company. This is also the first time that China’s home appliance enterprises have merged the mainstream business of the world’s top 500 companies.

The total assets of the merger and reorganization of the two parties will exceed 450 million euros. TCL International Holdings will become the major shareholder of the joint venture company, accounting for 67% of the shares, while Thomson will hold the remaining 33%. The newly established joint venture company has more than a dozen production bases in Europe, America and Asia, with an annual sales of 18 million color TV sets, making it the largest color TV supplier in the world.

On June 21, 2016, Tencent announced that it had acquired 84.3% equity of Supercell after consulting with Finnish mobile game developer Supercell84.3% The transaction amount is expected to be 8.6 billion US dollars (about 56.6 billion yuan). Supercell is a game giant from Finland. As of March 2016, the number of daily active users (DAU) of its games has exceeded 100 million.

According to sources, any buyer of Supercell must agree to the condition that six founders control the company. The new owner can’t force an IPO or fire the existing management team. At present, Supercell has launched games such as Clash of Tribes, Cartoon Farm and Raiders of the Island for the global market. In contrast, Zynga, which has more mobile game products, has about 21 million daily active users, while Gameloft and Glu have about 19 million and 5 million respectively. King, the developer of Candy Legend, has more than 130 million daily active users. Among them, the "local tyrant game" and "clash royale", which are well known by netizens, were also developed by them.

100,000-class domestically produced cars that dare to challenge joint ventures, BYD Qin PLUS DM-i or Geely Xingrui, who is more valuable?

Self-owned brand SUV models have already laid their own world. However, it is still difficult for domestic independent brands to compete with joint venture models in the family car market, but with the strength of independent brands, this situation has gradually changed. High-quality models such as BYD Qin PLUS DM-i and Geely Xingrui also have the ability to compete with joint venture models at the same level. What are the emphases of these two excellent cars? The following analysis one by one:

Byd Qin PLUS DM-i and Geely xingrui,The price is in the range of 100,000-150,000, but their positioning is not the same.. BYD Qin PLUS DM-i aims at the hybrid field of Shuangtian in Japan, and its opponents include the dual engines of Ralink and Corolla, as well as the sharp mix of Lingpai and Xiangyu. And Geely Xingrui will have a wider scope of attack, directly targeting the compact family car market, and using its superb car-making technology and luxury configuration to compete for market share.

Since both of them are located in compact family cars, space is definitely a hard indicator. In terms of measurements, the length, width and height of BYD Qin PLUS DM-i are respectively4765/1837/1495mm, with a wheelbase of 2718 mm., and Geely Xingrui’s length, width and height are respectively4785/1869/1469mm, with a wheelbase of 2800 mm., is a large family car.

From the perspective of design, the advantages of independent brands in recent years are also very obvious. BYD Qin PLUS DM-i inherits the family-style design style. Although it is the lowest model of the dynasty series, its design concept is very avant-garde. The family design language of Dragon Face embodies the charm of the dragon to the fullest. The design of Geely Xingrui’s straight waterfall net also inherits the design language of Geely family, and its wider body shape and stable lines show its atmosphere and fashion.Although the appearance is radish and cabbage, each has his own love, but in terms of their design style and skill, they definitely don’t lose the joint venture model.

In terms of interiors,Both of them adopt the design of LCD instrument+floating screen.,It’s just the rotating central control screen of BYD Qin PLUS DM-i, which is more cool and practical.. However, in terms of workmanship and materials, Geely Xingrui is more luxurious and kind. Soft plastic-lined materials and leather packages can be seen everywhere, and great efforts have been made to create a luxurious atmosphere in the interior. Therefore, the interior of Geely Xingrui is also a big killer for it to challenge the joint venture car at the same level.

At the configuration level, independent brands also have great advantages.BYD Qin PLUS DM-i and Geely Xingrui are equipped with the popular L2 driver assistance system.. At the same time, compared with the two top models, Geely Xingrui has more abundant configurations, such as automatic parking, panoramic sunroof, inductive tailgate, HUD head-up display system, ventilated and heated memory seat, boss key, 10 BOSE speakers, rainfall sensor and air conditioner, all of which are more luxurious configurations than Qin Plus DM-I. It can be fully seen that Geely Xingrui has reflected the higher cost in comfortable configuration and air purification device.

In terms of power, it is also the biggest difference between the two. They all come up with powerful power units of this level in their respective fields of expertise.BYD Qin PLUS DM-i adopts a set of hybrid power system mainly driven by motor.Moreover, it is a plug-in hybrid mode. Under the battery capacity of 8.32 kWh and 18.32 kWh, it can achieve pure battery life of 55km and 120 km. It is worth mentioning that even in the case of complete power loss, driving it as a HEV-like model, its fuel consumption is very close to that of Shuangtian’s hybrid model.

Not only that,It has two versions, big battery and small battery, which can reach the ultra-long cruising range of nearly 900 km and 1200 km under the condition of full oil and full charge., is definitely the most at the same level. It is a "sweet and salty" powertrain. At the same time, in terms of power output, the large and small battery versions of BYD Qin PLUS DM-i have output power of 132kW and 145 kW respectively, and the maximum torque is 316 Nm and 325 Nm respectively. With such strong power, its 100-kilometer acceleration is only 7.9s and 7.3s s. It can be imagined that BYD’s DM-i hybrid system is by no means a hollow reputation.

Geely Xingrui’s power system is also excellent. In the price range of 100,000 to 150,000, if you want to buy a 2.0T car, it is simply rare.Moreover, this 2.0T engine is the power unit of Volvo T4, which has a maximum power of 140 kW and a maximum torque of 300 Nm.Such a high-standard power output is also the leader of this level.

But on the other hand, fuel consumption,Geely xingrui 2.0T gasoline engine is obviously not more economical than BYD Qin PLUS DM-i with hybrid system.It can also be seen that Qin PLUS DM-i spent the cost on a complex and high-tech hybrid system. The cost of Geely Xingrui is spent on high-grade working materials and luxurious and comfortable configuration.

In terms of chassis, there is also a big difference between the two.BYD Qin PLUS DM-i adopts front McPherson and rear trailing arm torsion beam suspension system, and the rear axle adopts semi-independent suspension layout.Obviously, in order to save costs, we pay more attention to the creation of space in the car and the trunk, but this setting has also made some sacrifices for maneuverability. butGeely Xingrui adopts front McPherson and rear multi-link four-wheel independent suspension.This kind of structure is the layout that a high-end car should have, and its natural excellent structure makes its training very balanced. However, in terms of vehicle positioning, Geely Xingrui prefers home use, so the suspension setting is relatively soft and comfortable, which is also in line with its comfortable home style.

In terms of vehicle warranty,BYD Qin PLUS DM-i has a 6-year and 150,000-vehicle warranty.And it uses a blade battery,It also provides the battery with a lifetime warranty of unlimited mileage and unlimited years for the first owner.There is basically no worries in use. And Geely xingruiUpgrade to a four-year 100,000-kilometer vehicle warranty under the mandatory three-year 100,000-kilometer warranty.It also highlights the principle of domestic brand service first.

In the case that both cars can compete with the joint venture models, should we choose BYD Qin PLUS DM-i, which is energy-saving, environmental-friendly, lower in use cost and closer to pure electric vehicles, or choose Geely Xingyue, which is more calm and solemn, more luxurious and more spacious and comfortable? Then it’s up to you to make a decision.

Extreme krypton or the fastest listed new force to build a car in history

Business News (Reporter Wang Zhuyu) It has been established for less than three years, and it is expected to become the "fastest IPO in history" brand of high-end pure trams. Recently, Krypton publicly submitted a prospectus to land on the New York Stock Exchange, with the stock code "ZK". At present, Geely Holding Group has 9 listed or planned listed companies, including Krypton, and Li Shufu, the helm of Geely, has ushered in a bumper IPO.

According to public information, Extreme Krypton was established in March 2021 and is a high-end intelligent pure electric vehicle brand hatched by Geely Holding Group. If it is successfully listed before March 2024, it will become the "fastest IPO in history" new energy automobile enterprise. For reference, it took Weilai, Tucki and Ideality, who are also new car-making forces, about 4 years, 6 years and 5 years to go public in the United States respectively. Tesla also spent seven years.

According to the prospectus, apart from producing high-end pure electric vehicles, Extreme Krypton also provides technology-driven solutions and is committed to leading the electrification, intelligence and innovation of the automobile industry. At present, Krypton has released four models, including Krypton 001, Krypton 001FR, Krypton 009 and Krypton X.

The data shows that in 2022, 72,000 vehicles were delivered throughout the year. In the first half of 2023, 43,000 vehicles were delivered, a year-on-year increase of 124.3%. By the end of October 2023, Krypton had delivered more than 170,000 vehicles.

The rapid increase in car sales has led to a significant increase in revenue. In 2022, Krypton achieved revenue of 31.899 billion yuan. In the first half of 2023, the revenue was nearly 21.3 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 136%, of which the vehicle sales revenue was 13.175 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 148.75%.

In terms of gross profit margin, the gross profit margin of Krypton vehicles reached 12.3% in the first half of this year, up 7.6 percentage points year-on-year. Earlier, An Conghui, CEO of Extreme Smart Technology, revealed that Extreme Smart is already the pure electric brand with the best gross profit level except Tesla. This year, the company’s gross profit margin target is in double digits. Judging from its growth momentum, Krypton is expected to become the first and fastest electric vehicle company to make money except Tesla.

According to the plan, Krypton plans to enter the pure electric vehicle market in Europe and the Robotaxi market in the United States in the future. And this will bring about a corresponding increase in R&D, marketing and other expenses. The data shows that in the first half of 2023, the R&D expenses of Krypton reached 3.19 billion yuan, and the sales, general and administrative expenses were 2.90 billion yuan.

As an important bet of Geely in the field of new energy, it is urgent to improve its "hematopoietic" ability, and listing is bound to be one of the paths of capital blessing. On August 25 this year, the CSRC confirmed the information on overseas listing. According to the filing notice of overseas issuance and listing, Krypton plans to issue no more than 926 million ordinary shares and list them on the New York Stock Exchange.

According to the prospectus, the funds raised by this IPO are mainly used for three purposes: about 45% is used for "developing more advanced pure electric vehicle technology and expanding product portfolio"; About 45% is used for "sales and marketing, expanding service and charging network"; 10% is used for "general purpose of the enterprise, including the working capital requirements to support the company’s business operation and growth".

In recent years, many brands under Geely have rushed to the capital market. At present, there are 9 listed or planned listed companies, including Geely Automobile, Volvo Automobile, Lotus Technology, Polar Star, Yikatong, Extreme Krypton Automobile, Qianjiang Motorcycle, Hanma Technology and Lifan Technology. While Li Shufu, the helm of Geely, ushered in a bumper IPO, it also made Geely Holding Group’s "team battle" ability expand.

Some market analysts believe that the independent listing of Geely’s brands will enable Geely to achieve large-scale operations. As Li Shufu said in his internal speech: "In the end, the number of global automobile industry enterprises will not be too much, and only large-scale enterprises can survive."

The new rules are coming! The two departments issued opinions to encourage the development of shared cars.

  CCTV News:The Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development have issued new regulations to encourage the use of new energy vehicles to carry out time-sharing and encourage time-sharing operators to adopt credit model instead of deposit management.

  The Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Healthy Development of Minibus Rental formulated by the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development was officially promulgated today. The Guiding Opinions includes 5 parts and 13 articles, including general requirements, laying a solid foundation for safety management, improving service capacity, encouraging time-sharing development and creating a good development environment.

  It is understood that from June 1 to 14, the Ministry of Communications publicly solicited opinions on the Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Healthy Development of the Car Rental Industry. According to the suggestions, the Guiding Opinions were revised and improved: the scope of application was limited to the lease of minibuses; Enriched the relevant requirements of anti-terrorism prevention and added the contents of "maintaining public safety"; At the same time, the new format of time-sharing lease is standardized and managed.

  What is a minibus??

  Minibus refers to a minibus with seven seats or less. The "Guiding Opinions" clearlySmall minibus leaseIt refers to the operation mode that the minibus leasing operator delivers the minibus to the lessee for use within the agreed time, collects the leasing fee and does not provide driving services.

  According to the Ministry of Communications, there are currently more than 6,300 car rental operators in China.The total number of leased vehicles is about 200,000.The market scale is growing at an annual rate of about 20%. but92.7% of car rental enterprises in China own less than 50 vehicles.It is difficult to implement network operation and form economies of scale.

  In addition to insufficient service capacity,At present, there are no new laws and regulations for the car rental industry at the national level.. At the local level, only four provinces (cities) such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing and Shanxi have issued special local regulations on car rental, while another 21 provinces only involve one or two principled provisions in the Road Transport Regulations and other relevant local regulations, while six provinces such as Tianjin, Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, Hainan and Qinghai have not yet issued laws and regulations on car rental.

  For the sake of vehicle insurance, scrapping and second-hand salvage value,At present, about 95% vehicles in the car rental market are registered as non-operating vehicles.As a result, it is difficult to guarantee the safety of vehicles, and users cannot get insurance compensation in case of traffic accidents.

  In order to ensure the safety performance of leased vehicles and the legitimate rights and interests of users, the Guiding Opinions put forward requirements such as standardizing the management of leased vehicles and implementing the inspection system in real-name registration system. Rental vehicles shall be in accordance with relevant laws, regulations and technical standards.Go to the public security organ for registration., and in accordance with relevant regulations, carry out safety technical inspection, environmental inspection and scrapping of vehicles. Insure compulsory insurance and third party liability insurance according to the insurance rate corresponding to the registered nature of use.

  To implement the identification system, minibus rental operators should have the facilities and equipment needed for identification and check the valid documents provided by the lessee.

  Highlights of the new regulations ②: Encourage time-sharing of new energy vehicles.

  In order to encourage the development of the new format of time-sharing lease, the Guiding Opinions proposes to consider the characteristics of time-sharing lease in non-intensive travel, reasonably determine the positioning of time-sharing lease in the urban comprehensive transportation system, and study and establish a vehicle delivery mechanism that is suitable for public travel needs, urban road resources and parking resources.

  Time-sharing operators should improve their online and offline service capabilities, strengthen the intelligent organization and deployment of vehicles, and ensure the good safety of vehicles through daily inspections and self-inspection of vehicles by operators. Operators should adopt safe and compliant payment and settlement services to ensure the safety of users’ deposits and funds, and encourage the use of credit mode instead of deposit management.

  This paper puts forward some support policies, such as encouraging public parking lots in crowded areas to provide convenience for parking time-sharing vehicles and exploring on-street parking concessions in cities. Encourage the use of new energy vehicles to carry out time-sharing leasing.

  Highlights of new regulations ③: Promote the construction of parking spots in densely populated areas.

  In order to improve the service ability of the industry, the Guiding Opinions put forward specific requirements from the aspects of infrastructure planning and construction and daily operation and management of operators. According to the local economic and social development and residents’ travel needs, it is required to formulate a development plan for minibus rental, and incorporate it into the comprehensive transportation system planning and urban comprehensive transportation system planning, strengthen the transfer connection between minibus rental and different modes of transportation, and promote the construction of transportation hub business outlets such as airports, railway stations, bus stations and ports, as well as parking stations in densely populated areas.

  Encourage operators to use new technologies and new means to strengthen daily management and improve the convenience of car rental. Operators should improve network security protection measures and collect, store, use and protect personal information in compliance with laws and regulations. Strengthen the linkage between upstream and downstream industries and related industries, and promote the scale, networking and brand development of the industry.

  List of other highlights

  In addition, in order to further create a good development environment for the industry, the Guiding Opinions also put forward the requirements of accelerating the construction of system standards and promoting the resolution of outstanding problems such as illegal road traffic disposal of leased vehicles and fraud of leased vehicles. Accelerate the construction of credit system, establish a credit evaluation system for lease operators and lessees, and build a cross-departmental and cross-regional joint incentive and punishment mechanism.

  The Guiding Opinions require that local transportation departments should formulate supporting policies, measures and implementation plans.

  On August 2, the Ministry of Transport and other 10 departments jointly issued the draft of "Guiding Opinions on Encouraging and Regulating the Development of Internet Rental Bicycles", which clearly pointed out that the development of Internet rental electric bicycles is not encouraged.

  Li Jiangping, inspector of the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, said that such regulations mainly consider that vehicles generally exceed the standard and do not meet the standard requirements of the General Technical Conditions for Electric Bicycles; Prone to traffic accidents; Fire safety hazards are prominent; High risk of vehicle operation safety; In addition, the battery pollution problem is serious.

Chinese youth killed by police: video release is justified!

[Comprehensive News]Christian Hall (Chinese name: Chen Zhibo), a 19-year-old Chinese youth in Pennsylvania, was shot and killed by state police in December last year. At present, it has been ruled as a legitimate reason (legal) by DA in Monroe County, Pennsylvania.

On December 30th, someone called 911 anonymously, and the anonymous caller was Hall himself. The police rushed to the scene on I-80 and found Hall standing on top of the concrete safety barrier. After some continuous twists and turns, Hall then took the gun (an air gun like a pistol) from his waist and took a step towards the police. Then a police officer fired several shots, but missed Hall.

You can see that Hall raised his arm to the side, turned the weapon to the side, and turned the barrel to aim at his head. At this time, it was the critical moment when the police decided to shoot him.

The police said: "Because Hall’s behavior caused a potential threat of death or injury, in this case, it is legal for Pennsylvania police to use deadly force against Hall."

The Monroe County District Attorney said they didn’t think the police were at fault, and they wanted to make sure Hall’s family didn’t blame themselves for it. The prosecution said that Pennsylvania law does not require suspects to fire at the police. Hall (Chen Zhibo) used an air gun to force the police to shoot, which is a common "suicide by cop" behavior.
