Hangzhou Wahaha Bilingual School Junior High School Advantage Integration Course Experience Course Open

Chinese Classroom Group Discussion.jpg

  Zhejiang Online, April 20 (Zhejiang Online reporter, Zhu Geqian, intern, Sui Xue, correspondent, Zhang Ye)Recently, the Junior High School of Hangzhou Wahaha Bilingual School opened an integration course to parents. Sixth graders from each school experienced an experience class on cross-cultural integration of Chinese, English, science, and society and history.

  Poetic Chinese Classroom – The Cultural Core of Chinese and Western Use

  How does a Chinese fusion class that cannot see the traces of Western culture achieve cross-cultural integration? The teacher chose four West Lake poems by two writers with deep roots in Hangzhou, Bai Juyi and Su Dongpo, to start group classroom teaching.

  After getting the materials, the teacher guided each group to complete the corresponding tasks according to the teaching goals – reading through the poems, understanding the poems with pictures, and recommending poems. After deepening their understanding of poems in the first two links, the students went on stage to report the results of the group’s study.

  Giving the classroom to students and using the more autonomous group collaboration and team display classroom model in the West to learn Chinese classic poetry can be regarded as an innovation in Chinese teaching methods. "In terms of teaching content, we still adhere to the core position of Chinese culture, but in terms of Chinese teaching methods, we continue to try to adopt more student-centered Western teaching strategies," said the teaching teacher.

  In the future, there will also be comparative reading of Chinese and Western literature and translation and appreciation of Chinese and English classics in the school’s language classes, strengthening comprehensive learning practices, so that students can experience the beauty of language learning in an independent, cooperative and open classroom.

  Pure English classroom – an all-English immersion environment

  What is a "story"? Foreign teacher Ciaran led the children to re-understand the "story" from the perspectives of characters, settings and plots in an hour and a half. The all-English class mode made many children a little restrained at first. But the humorous Ciaran teacher soon got to know the students well.

  Starting from a simple discussion of Who, When and Where, What Happened, these easier-to-understand concepts, students understand the basic concept of "story" and the different forms of "story". By combining life scenes with previous reading experiences, students grasp the three basic elements of story: Character (character), Setting (setting), Plot (plot).

  Afterwards, Teacher Ciaran prepared the Minions’ story fragment "Competition", using the short film as a material to analyze the different elements that make up the story in a more targeted manner and strengthen the study of theory. Finally, the group’s task list "AT THE MOVIES" was completed in a group collaboration. The students learned and analyzed the structure of the text through four aspects of listening, speaking, reading and writing, and returned to the study of English knowledge.

  Rigorous Chemistry Classroom: A Comparative Study of Chinese and Western Teaching Concepts and Methods

  The chemistry classroom fully reflects the rigorous spirit of the subject. The chemistry teacher compared the "Compulsory Education Textbook" (Zhejiang Education Press) and "Science Fusion" (a set of top science courses published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Group in the United States, which are used as science textbooks in many public schools in the United States). Combining the advantages of the two sets of textbooks, students are guided step by step to complete the teaching objectives of this class: to understand the physical and chemical properties of acids or bases, and to be able to judge the acid and alkali properties of substances according to the physical and chemical properties of acids or bases.

  The rigorous classroom was also very interesting, and the students were very interested in the introduction of the teacher in the life situation, and the classroom atmosphere quickly became active. After a class, the students learned not only the chemistry knowledge required by the curriculum standard and the core English vocabulary involved in these knowledge.

  "What’s even more exciting is that after the science class, some students came over and asked me for pH test strips because they wanted to go back and continue to study the acidity and alkalinity of more substances. This is what we want to train children to better understand the world through their own curiosity and their own perception through science class," said Liu Zhaoyun, a chemistry teacher.

Social and History Classroom 2.jpeg

  Dialectical Society and History Classroom – Seeing the World from Multiple Perspectives

  Around the two questions of "what is history" and "what are we studying in history", the society and history teacher also replaced the "Yiyan Hall" with the form of "discussion group", and asked each group of students to design a story according to the historical characters assigned. Students work in groups and choose a representative to speak. Other group members judge which plots are real and which are made up.

  The teacher guides the students to express their opinions with questions and materials, and finds the key to the exit in the collision of viewpoints, which not only gives the students the opportunity to fully express themselves, but also leaves a vast space for thinking. At the same time, the teacher also tries to cooperate with the students to learn. When thinking about the ultimate question that human beings must face, "Where do I come from?", the students are pleasantly surprised to provide many philosophical answers.

  Learning history is not only about learning about the development and changes of China and the world, but also about cultivating students to understand history philosophically and balance the relationship between themselves and the world. Specific to the junior high school stage, it is the cultivation of historical understanding and critical thinking.

  In the end, each group was given three passages about Hitler’s teenage, adolescent and middle-aged experiences without his name, and asked to read them and summarize the character’s characteristics. Faced with these historical materials alone, the students felt the character’s loneliness, literature, pity and horror. "To understand and analyze the character from multiple angles rather than to make a coffin with a fixed concept is what we want to pass on to the student through the course. This is true for understanding a person, but even more so for understanding a culture and a concept," the instructor said.

  If you accidentally miss this integration course experience, parents can also pay attention to participating in this Sunday’s integration course experience, so that your child can experience another cross-cultural journey brought by our school’s math, physics, English and physical education teachers.

Science and Technology Weekly | 360 released Zhinao 4.0 Weilai reduced the price by 30,000.

Industrial trends

  01 360 released Zhinao 4.0, which has the ability of cross-modal generation.

  On June 13th, 360 Company held the application conference of 360 Zhinao Big Model, the cognitive general big model "360 Zhinao 4.0" was unveiled, and the 360AI digital man was officially released.

  In addition, Zhou Hongyi said that the key to overtaking China’s self-developed large model curve in the GPT era is to develop multi-modes. 360 Zhinao has the ability of cross-modal generation, and has the ability of text, image, voice and video processing, which can be applied to scenes such as Wensheng map, Wensheng map and Wensheng video. At the same time, 360AI Digital People Square was released, providing more than 200 roles, including digital celebrities, digital employees and other categories.

  At the meeting, the multi-modal function of 360 Zhinao "Wensheng Video" was first launched in China, and any text script can generate video, which is not limited by professional skills and materials, showing the ability of "making something out of nothing".

  Zhou Hongyi said that the core innovation of 360 in the big model lies in AI digital people, and digital people are the future.The most important application entrance of large model. 360 will redefine "digital people" based on the ability of 360 wisdom brain model. Different from traditional digital people who can only output content according to established scripts, 360AI digital people are characterized by having memories, people’s designs and personalities, and being able to reproduce their way of thinking and life experiences.

  02 can generate video with one click, and Gen2 is open for free trial.

  Recently, Runway, which is known as the video version of Midjourney and provides technical support for Stable Diffusion and Instant Universe, has developed an AI video editing tool Gen, which has been upgraded from the first generation in February to the second generation, and has been officially released from internal testing.

  In February of this year, Runway released a model named Gen-1, which can transform an existing video into a new video by applying any style specified by text prompts or reference images.

  Just over a month later, Runway officially released the more powerful Gen-2 on March 20th, completing the transformation from "editing existing videos" to "Wensheng videos", and providing multiple functions such as text+reference images to generate videos, still pictures to videos, and video style migration. Now, after the internal test in March, Gen2 finally opened a free trial-although the video it generated is only 4 seconds at present, and it has a total usage quota of 105 seconds.

  In terms of pricing, the standard edition member of Gen2 is 15 dollars/month, the Pro edition member is 35 dollars/month, and the annual membership can get 20% discount.

  According to reports, Twitter user Steve Mills has experienced its potential ability to generate MV in the Gen-2 beta. This user generated a total of about 500 seconds of video, and finally edited it into a 140-second MV.

  The author estimates that the whole production will cost at least $30 at the price of the public version. Coupled with the previous study and exploration stage, this price will be higher.

  Cristóbal Valenzuela, CEO and co-founder of Runway, once said when Gen-1 was released: "We have witnessed the explosion of image generation model, and I firmly believe that 2023 will be a year of video generation model."

  Chatgpt update, which can generate visual animation with one click.

  On June 13th, local time, OpenAI announced a major update to its large-scale language model API (including GPT-4 and GPT-3.5-turbo), including adding function calling function and reducing the use cost. After updating, the cost of embedded model is reduced by 75%, and the tokens input length of GPT-3.5-turbo is extended to 16,000.

  Since the end of March, ChatGPT update announced the launch of plug-in function, the number of third-party plug-ins has increased from 10 to more than 70. With the support of these plug-ins, ChatGPT can not only generate web pages and help users find jobs, but also visualize data directly according to their needs. ……

  At present, the new version of the model has gradually begun to iterate. The latest versions of gpt-4-0613, gpt-3.5-turbo-0613 and gpt-4-32k-0613 with extended context length all support function calls. Gpt-3.5-turbo-16k does not support function calls, and provides four times the context length, which means that one request can support about 20 pages of text.

  In addition, the old model began to be gradually abandoned. Applications using the initial version of gpt-3.5-turbo and gpt-4 will be automatically upgraded to the new version on June 27th. Developers who need more time to transition can also manually specify to continue using the old version, but all requests for the old version will be completely abandoned after September 13th.

  04 Nature refuses to post the generated pictures and videos.

  On June 13th, local time, Nature magazine announced in an editorial that in order to ensure the integrity, transparency and morality of the research, no pictures, videos or illustrations created by using generative AI tools will be published, unless they are articles related to artificial intelligence.

  However, Nature does not completely exclude artificial intelligence. The magazine still allows the use of text generated by generative artificial intelligence in articles, as long as it is clearly stated in the method or acknowledgment section. In addition, all sources of data, even data generated with the assistance of artificial intelligence, must be provided by the author. However, Nature firmly refuses to accept any generative artificial intelligence tool as the author of the paper.

Frontiers of science and technology

  01 Meta Releases the First Humanoid Model

  Meta announced on June 13th local time that it will open some components of a new "humanoid" artificial intelligence model to researchers, which can analyze and complete unfinished images more accurately than existing models.

  This model is called I-JEPA, which uses the background knowledge of the world to fill in the missing parts of the image, instead of inferring only from nearby pixels like other generative artificial intelligence models. This method adopts the humanoid reasoning method advocated by Yann LeCun, the chief artificial intelligence scientist of Meta Company, which helps to avoid the common mistakes in the image generated by artificial intelligence, such as the problem of having an extra finger.

  Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, said that sharing the model developed by Meta with other researchers can help the company promote innovation, find security vulnerabilities and reduce costs. He told investors in April this year: "For us, if the industry standardizes the basic tools we are using, then we can benefit from the improvement of others."

  02 DeepMind releases new AI system to discover faster algorithms.

  Researchers at Google DeepMind, an AI research laboratory owned by Alphabet (GOOG), released a new AI system on Wednesday, which can improve the efficiency and sustainability of computing.

  DeepMind said that this latest breakthrough, published in the scientific journal Nature, focuses on finding faster computer algorithms. The computer algorithm isThe foundation is used by enterprises for trillions of times every day.

  This AI lab in London is famous for pioneering AI models, such as AlphaFold and mastering complex Go.AlphaGo, which named its new AI system AlphaDev. Based on AlphaZero (iteration of AlphaGo), the system uses reinforcement learning to find faster algorithms for computer science functions such as sorting and hashing. Reinforcement learning is a form of machine learning, in which computers learn and make their own strategies.

  Colin Murdoch, chief business officer of DeepMind, said, "This means that we can use fewer resources to do the same amount of calculations."

  01 Huawei won the trademark "Wen Jie" and intended to build a car alone?

  Trademark electronicsThe system shows that a total of 21 applications for trademark transfer of "Wenjie" have been approved. The transferor is Beijing Yongan Shida Trade Co., Ltd. and Beijing Kechuang Huida Trade Co., Ltd., and the transferee is Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. The receipt time of the transfer application is March 7 and 8 this year.

  The specific categories of trademarks involve categories 12, 9, 7, 39, 37, 42, 2, 35, 3, 4, 16, 38, 11, 1, 5, 21, 27 and 41, of which categories 12 and 9 respectively represent automobiles and vehicles, electronic products and scientific instruments.

  According to the first financial report, Huawei responded that "Huawei does not build cars alone, but builds good cars with car companies" has not changed.

  In addition, according to the science and technology innovation board Daily, the successful transfer of the trademark "Wen Jie" by Huawei means that Huawei will have the dominant position in the trademark, and it will become the unified brand name of Huawei’s intelligent car selection model in the future.

  02 The price of the whole department was reduced by 30,000 yuan, and the price of ES8 fell below 500,000 yuan.

  On June 12th, Auto (hereinafter referred to as "") announced that it would adjust the price of all new cars, and the starting price of all models of the company was reduced by 30,000 yuan.

  After adjustment, the starting price of ET5 fell below 300,000 yuan to 298,000 yuan; The brand-new ES6 just listed in May this year also dropped to 338,000 yuan, and the price of the brand-new ES8 launched at the end of last year also fell below 500,000 yuan.

  This adjustment is not limited to the price, and the car rights of Weilai users have also been lowered.

  Specifically, the rights and interests of the first owner of a new car purchase user are adjusted to a 6-year or 150,000-kilometer warranty for the whole vehicle, of which the three-power system can enjoy a 10-year unlimited mileage warranty; Free power exchange will no longer be used as the basic car rights, users can choose to pay a single fee for power exchange, and then a flexible power supply package will be launched.

  For the users who have already picked up the car, Weilai promises that the rights and interests of the first car owner will remain unchanged. At the same time, when buying a new car from Weilai, the old users can choose to transfer the car rights of the original car to the new car, or choose to give up their car rights to deduct the car purchase price of 30,000-50,000 yuan. Li Bin, CEO of the company, explained that the old users can choose to give up their rights when buying a new car, which means that they can get 60,000-80,000 yuan cheaper.

The valuation is nearly 90 billion! The extremely krypton car is on fire again, Ning Wang overweight!

According to the China Fund, the pace of capitalization of the new car-making forces has obviously accelerated, and this time it is Li Shufu’s turn to be a krypton car.

On February 13th, Geely Holding (00175.HK) announced in the morning that it issued and distributed about 139 million Series A preferred shares to five investors, raising a total of 750 million US dollars (equivalent to 5.09 billion RMB). Among them, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (300750), which has invested in the Pre-A round, has increased its price again, which shows that it is optimistic about this new force.

After completing this round of financing, the valuation of Krypton has reached 13 billion US dollars (about 88.23 billion yuan). It is understood that this valuation amount also exceeds the valuation level before landing in the IPO of the US stock "Wei Xiaoli" in the early years. As early as the end of last year, Geely publicly announced that it planned to split the IPO of Extreme Krypton in the United States, and this new force in making cars is also expected to become the first new energy vehicle company listed this year.

Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited participated in the second vote.

Extreme Krypton Automobile announced the first heavyweight financing of the new energy automobile industry this year. According to the announcement of Geely Holding, Extreme Krypton entered into a share purchase agreement with five investors on February 12. Accordingly, five investors agreed to subscribe and purchase from Krypton, and Krypton agreed to issue and distribute a total of 139 million Series A preferred shares to five investors at a total consideration of 750 million US dollars.

It should be pointed out that the investors participating in this financing are Amnon Shashua, founder of Mobileye Global Inc, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, Yuexiu Industrial Fund, Trading Fund and Xin An Zhi Fund. According to Krypton, after the completion of this A round of financing, the valuation of Krypton is about 13 billion US dollars.

This amount also exceeds the pre-IPO valuation of the three new car-making forces "Wei Xiaoli" that have been listed in the United States. The highest valuations of the above three companies were about $6.4 billion, $8.6 billion and $8.8 billion before the US stock market was issued.

Judging from the institutions participating in this round of financing, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited is not only a long-term strategic partner of Krypton, but also an additional investment in this round to further deepen cooperation. As early as August, 2021, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited participated in the Pre-A financing of Krypton cars. In addition to Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, the participating institutions in this round include Yuexiu Industrial Fund, Trade Fund and Quzhou Trust An Zhi Fund. According to Krypton, the above three companies will help Krypton integrate its rich industrial resources and help it further expand in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.

According to the announcement, immediately after the delivery, Geely Holding will hold approximately 54.73% (calculated on the converted basis) and approximately 51.33% (calculated on the fully diluted and converted basis). Krypton will remain an indirect non-wholly-owned subsidiary of Geely Holding, and its financial performance will continue to be incorporated into the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

According to Krypton, the funds raised this time will be mainly used for research and development of Krypton products and technologies, global business development and user experience improvement. The company said that the five investment institutions have rich industrial resources in their respective fields, especially in smart driving, power batteries, innovative materials and high-end equipment manufacturing.

Or the fastest IPO case in the cost round

In March 2021, Extreme Krypton Automobile was jointly invested and established by Geely Automobile and Geely Holding Group. Geely has also given high hopes to the extremely krypton car.

The data shows that Krypton delivered a total of 71,900 vehicles last year, and completed the sales target of 70,000 vehicles in 2022 ahead of schedule in mid-December. According to the expectation of Geely Holding Group, by 2025, the sales volume of extremely krypton vehicles will reach 650,000, ranking the top three in the world in the market share of high-end electric vehicles. Moreover, the sales performance of Krypton is completely supported by the single model Krypton 001, so the annual sales of Krypton are quite valuable.

In terms of financing, Krypton Auto completed the Pre-A round of financing with a total of US$ 500 million from Intel Capital, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, Bili Bili, Hongshang Group and Boyu Investment in August of that year. According to the financing situation at that time, the valuation of Extreme Krypton was about $9 billion.

In December last year, Geely Holding publicly announced that on December 7, 2022, Krypton submitted a draft registration statement for possible initial public offering to the US Securities and Exchange Commission on a confidential basis. The proposed spin-off currently includes two items, namely, the sale of krypton shares in the United States and the distribution of American Depositary Shares to shareholders in kind.

Earlier, it was reported that Krypton sought to raise more than $1 billion in the United States, with a valuation of more than $10 billion, which was higher than the valuation of $9 billion when it raised funds for the first time in 2021. However, according to the valuation of this A round of financing, this amount has far exceeded previous expectations. And this new car-making force was established only less than two years ago.

It is widely speculated in the market that Krypton will be listed as soon as possible in the second quarter of this year, so it is also considered to be the most likely car company to be listed first in this round.

Years of losses to accelerate financing.

Recently, the pace of capitalization of new car-making forces is accelerating. At the beginning of this month, Hezhong Automobile behind Nezha Automobile completed the shareholding system change, which was understood by the market as accelerating the IPO. Ai’ an, a subsidiary of Guangzhou Automobile Group, also explicitly called out the IPO in 2023.

These new forces have a common feature, that is, they are in a state of loss for years. Even "Wei Xiaoli", whose sales volume has climbed and gross profit margin has turned positive, has not yet achieved profitability under the continuous R&D investment and market layout. Ceng Qinghong, chairman of Guangzhou Automobile Group, once bluntly said, "Except for Tesla, all new energy automakers are losing money and have no money to earn. This is a consensus."

In 2021 alone, the loss of Ai ‘an, which has been valued at over 100 billion yuan, reached 1.389 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 101.95%. In 2019 -2021, the losses of Ai ‘an were 621 million yuan, 688 million yuan and 1.389 billion yuan respectively, with a cumulative loss of 2.698 billion yuan in three years. In 2020, the net loss of Nezha Automobile reached 1.321 billion yuan, and in 2021, its net loss expanded to 2.908 billion yuan.

Krypton cars can’t escape this fate. According to the previously published financial report data of Geely Convenience, the revenue in 2021 was 2.868 billion yuan, and the net loss in the same period reached 1.01 billion yuan; In the first half of 2022, the revenue of Krypton was 8.828 billion yuan, and the net loss during the period was 759 million yuan. Since the establishment of the brand, the accumulated net loss of Krypton is nearly 1.8 billion yuan.

The gross profit margin of this new car-making force was around 5% in the first half of last year. The gross profit margins of LI, Xpeng Motors and Weilai were 22.09%, 11.55% and 13.8% respectively.

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.

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."

It’s really not a little bit that mobile phones are harmful to health.

  How far is it from playing mobile phone every day to illness? Recently, a reporter from qianjiang evening news learned from the hospital that there is a 30-year-old clerk in Hangzhou who deals with computers, keyboards and mice every day, and likes to play with mobile phones during the spare time. As a result, his hands are numb enough to require surgery. Psychologists also warned mobile phone owners that if they keep looking at their mobile phones while shopping, they will spend more money. If you let your mobile phone sleep with you, it will do more harm to your health.

  Keyboard and mobile phone play too much.

  In addition to hand numbness, muscle atrophy will occur.

  Zhou Qi (a pseudonym), 30, keeps her hands on the keyboard at work and keeps brushing her mobile phone at rest. She also has a habit of sleeping on her desk with her hands on her pillow during lunch break. It seems that most people’s living habits have damaged her ulnar nerve. It shows that the right hand is numb and tingling, and it takes a long time to straighten your arm to recover. Even the buttons are awkward, and you can’t even carry chopsticks when eating … … After a series of examinations such as electromyography, Zhou Qi was diagnosed as "cubital tunnel syndrome".

  The ulnar nerve in medicine is what we usually call "numbness". It is one of the three main meridians on the arm. It starts from the cervical vertebra, passes through the elbow joint, sticks to the inside of the arm and goes down all the way to our ring finger and little finger. It is of great significance to our daily life, and the fine movements of our fingers, such as buttoning, holding chopsticks and holding a pen, can not be achieved without the contribution of ulnar nerve.

  Frequent elbow flexion and other actions will cause ulnar nerve compression, leading to "cubital tunnel syndrome", which will affect the function of fingers and palms. When the sensory function of ulnar nerve is affected, there will be symptoms of numbness of fingers or palms, and when its motor function is also affected, there will be phenomena such as weakness of fingers or muscles. If it is affected for a long time, it will easily cause muscle atrophy and even cause serious irreversible consequences.

  Use the keyboard and mouse for a long time, bend your elbows for a long time, or sleep on your desk, etc. Some people have cubital tunnel syndrome due to playing mahjong for several days, and office workers and surgeons are all high-risk groups. In order to completely cure the symptoms, Zhou Qi had to undergo surgery.

  The doctor reminded that to prevent such diseases, one is: rest.

  If you repeat an activity, whether it is typing, using the mouse or anything else, it is recommended to take a short break every 10 to 15 minutes to rest your elbow and wrist. During this period, you can stretch and exercise these two parts.

  Second, keep a good working posture.

  Adjust the height of the seat to keep the forearm as high as the keyboard. When using the keyboard, there should be no feeling of outward expansion and drooping, so that the elbows and wrists are in a relatively relaxed state.

  The third is: always be vigilant. Once there is numbness and discomfort in the finger, and it is a constant and persistent feeling, you must not ignore it easily. You should go to the hospital as soon as possible for professional judgment and exclusion.

  Play mobile phone while walking.

  Shopping is more expensive.

  A new study by American scientists shows that if you play with your mobile phone while shopping, it will not only increase the risk of hitting obstacles, but also make people spend a lot of money unconsciously.

  The research team of Fairfield University asked 231 participants to complete a simulated shopping task. One group of participants restrained themselves from taking out their mobile phones and only paid attention to the goods, while the other group randomly used their mobile phones intermittently for unrelated tasks (such as answering phones, sending and receiving text messages, listening to music, etc.). Both groups of participants used to shop according to a shopping list provided by the researchers, but the results showed that people who used their mobile phones occasionally or constantly in the store made far more unplanned purchases than those who concentrated on shopping.

  The researchers pointed out that when shopping, people may forget what goods they need most when they are distracted, but they will be attracted by the dazzling array of other goods in the store and take them into their pockets without thinking. Even if you only use your mobile phone occasionally during shopping, it will have this effect, which will lead to additional expenses. Therefore, we should concentrate on saving money when shopping.

  Wang Yiquan, an expert in early intervention of psychological problems in Hangzhou No.7 Hospital, said: "From the perspective of behavior patterns, those who rely heavily on mobile phones have poor self-control ability, and they are easily influenced by external information such as price reduction and new product listing when shopping, resulting in more impulsive consumption. From the analysis of emotional influence, the information from the mobile phone will affect the mood of shoppers, and these emotions may stimulate impulsive consumption whether positive or negative. Seeing good news, buy something to reward yourself or your family; When you see bad news, you should buy something to comfort yourself and decompress. For example, people often joke that ‘ Bao ’ Treating all diseases is the most vivid explanation of the influence of emotions on shopping. "

  We have to admit that consumption is indeed a good way to vent and quickly adjust emotions, but only if it is moderate. If it is inappropriate or even unreasonable consumption beyond one’s own ability to pay, one must be alert to whether there are psychological problems.

  In fact, in life, it is easy to understand the difference between men and women’s shopping habits. For most men, shopping is a kind of "torture". They often think about where to buy something, go straight to the destination and buy it, and then leave. They rarely pay attention to what other stores are selling along the way, and naturally they will not have unplanned consumption. Women tend to take shopping as a kind of "leisure", walk around, shop around, stop and watch more, and the temptation is more likely to lead to many unplanned consumption.

  Sleeping with your mobile phone is harmful to your eyes.

  Playing mobile phone for a long time at night often leads to sore eyes, sharp drop in vision, deepening myopia, and even dry eye. Once, because of playing mobile phone games for a long time, the function of meibomian gland was worse than that of the elderly.

  Everyone’s two eyes have a dominant eye and a non-dominant eye. Under normal circumstances, under the control of the brain, the eyes of both eyes are even, but after lying on the side, one eye has to shoulder a heavier eye task. Over time, if the balance is broken, the vision will be inconsistent between the left and right eyes.

  Sleeping with mobile phone is harmful to cervical health

  "Cervical arch inversion" is the most common pathological basis of cervical diseases. High pillow can make the head bend forward and increase the stress of the lower cervical vertebra, which may accelerate the degeneration of cervical vertebra. However, bad living habits such as lying on a high back and watching TV, surfing the Internet for a long time, lying down and playing with a mobile phone, and pulling the cervical vertebra for a long time will also lead to the curve lordosis decreasing, straightening and even bending back.

  Sleeping with mobile phone affects sleep quality.

  Adequate sleep is a necessary guarantee for a healthy life. When playing mobile phone, the production of melatonin (secreted by pituitary gland, which directly affects the quality of sleep) will be reduced, which will lead to less sleep and even inability to sleep. I believe those who play mobile phones until midnight or even later have a profound experience — — I’m not sleepy at all. I don’t want to sleep.

  Sleeping with mobile phones affects family harmony.

  Young people, once they have cell phone sleepiness, are not in a hurry to find a partner. They think that cell phones are so fun and have everything in them. Why do they need to find a partner? Parents look at the older single children, but they really hate the dead mobile phone. After three days, they cursed, "I know how to play mobile phones every day. Everyone else has grandchildren, so you will give me a mobile phone?"
