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.

An Old Fisherman Wang Chaosheng’s "Landing"

  Xinhua News Agency, Guiyang, January 23rd Title: Old fisherman Wang Chaosheng’s "Landing"

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Jun, wu si

  This Spring Festival, Lao Wang is very busy. During this time, a new batch of fry was put into his fish pond, and every detail was careless.

  Lao Wang’s name is Wang Chaosheng. He is 60 years old. He lives in xiazhai village, Tangtou Town, Sinan County, Guizhou Province. He started fishing in his early 30s and retired to shore at the age of 57. After landing, Wang Chaosheng rented more than 10 mu of land to build pond culture, and raised it for 3 years, which brought good benefits and started a new life.

  Wujiang River is the largest tributary of the south bank of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, which flows through 13 of the 28 townships in Sinan County. In order to strictly implement the 10-year ban on fishing in the Yangtze River, the local fishery department has repeatedly gone deep into the two sides of the strait to do ideological work for fishermen. Old fishermen like Wang Chaosheng bid farewell to fishing life in succession. Since 2019, 121 fishermen in Sinan County have been arrested and landed.

  The fisherman’s understanding card posted on the wall of Wang Chaosheng’s house. Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Junshe

  Wang Chaosheng used to fish and earned a considerable income. He has fishing license, crew certificate, fishing boat registration certificate and other procedures. During the slack season, he opened a fishing boat and installed a few nets, and started a "sideline business" in Wujiang.

  "Growing crops is the main business, but the bulk of family income is still fishing ‘ Sideline ’ 。” Wang Chaosheng said that when he was young, he earned 300,000 to 400,000 yuan in the most year, and earned 10,000 yuan in the most day.

  Wang Chaosheng is a good fisherman. The wind is high and the waves are urgent. Day and night, he and his wife have been safe for decades. He swam around the river with a width of five or six hundred meters, not to mention. If the amount of wild fish salvaged is not large, it will be robbed at home. If the fishing boat comes home with a full load, he will pull it to towns and counties.

  Wang Chaosheng misses fishing. However, he also figured it out about retreating to shore. On the one hand, support the ecological protection policy; On the other hand, after landing, family income is relatively stable.

  "I used to fish, but now I raise fish. I’m still at my old job!" Wang Chaosheng told reporters with a smile. Now, fish farming earns more than 100,000 yuan a year, so Wujiang River can recuperate and the ecological protection of the river basin has been strengthened.

  Today, Wang Chaosheng feeds forage in the fish pond every morning and evening. Watching the mountain spring flow into the fish pond, the big fish churned up and down, and he was full of energy. Grass carp, catfish and other four or five varieties, the big 14 or 15 Jin, the unit price from 10 yuan to 50 yuan, three fish ponds, there is no shortage of sales.

  "Mountain spring water, ecological fish, good quality!" Wang Chaosheng was destined to become attached to fish in this life. At the entrance of the mountain spring flowing into the fish pond, he specially took pebbles and river sand from the river to create a natural living environment for the fish. He planted sweet sorghum and ryegrass with bait to make the fish’s food more original.

  Because of the good quality of fish, Wang Chaosheng’s fish pond attracted some fishing enthusiasts. There is no charge for fishing, just buy the hooked fish at the actual price. Now, his breeding technology is more refined and his output is increasing year by year.

  In order to ensure the sustainable benefit of ecological fish farming, technicians from county and township fisheries departments often go to the village to give guidance, feed, change water and prevent diseases. They help Wang Chaosheng to move forward continuously.

People are happy when they are happy! William Feng’s new drama conference turned into "Pippi Peak"

William Feng and Zhu Yilong attended the "Know No" conference.

The TV series "Do you know if it should be green, fat, red and thin" was held in Beijing today. The newly-married William Feng people are full of spirits at every happy event. They changed from serious Feng Shu to "Pipifeng", generous and humorous to help "good brother" Zhu Yilong, and contributed many golden sentences. The scene has become his "stand-up comedy" special.

William Feng hugs Zhu Yilong

"Do you know if it should be green, fat and thin?" starring newlyweds Zhao Liying and William Feng. Although the heroine couldn’t attend, William Feng also distributed a lot of "invisible dog food". When talking about his role in the play, Uncle Gu said "sweet": "He will take his wife to eat delicious food, make up his wife, be jealous and have a little mood, and create an atmosphere …" Turning to his rival Zhu Yilong in the play, he asked weakly, "Is it not good to say this in front of you?" Bring laughter to the scene.

When asked about the wisdom of life learned from filming, while shy Zhu Yilong was still thinking, William Feng took the initiative to answer the question: "I’ll answer this! I think Zhu Yilong should have learned a deep lesson. That is, when you like a girl, you must marry her at the first time. Don’t wait! Also, brothers can’t be trusted easily. If you are not active, the opportunity will slip to your brothers. Men must be a little worse. " William Feng also "complained" that the little girls in the play all liked the little grandfather played by Zhu Yilong. "In order to clear up the relationship with me, I followed him and shouted a second uncle … but I was used to it anyway. When I was still very young, my fans called me Feng Shu."

William Feng revealed that although they are rivals in love in the play, they have a good relationship outside the play. Zhu Yilong was shy when he was unfamiliar. "You can not talk from beginning to end after eating a meal." But after getting acquainted, the teacher became more lively and talked about everything. He once took himself to eat chicken, but he failed to learn. William Feng also recalled seeing Zhu Yilong for the first time in the crew. "I like Yi Long very much as soon as I see him. He looks like Tony Leung Chiu Wai [Weibo], so handsome! I took a fancy to him at first sight. But that scene was our tit-for-tat, and the gas field had to be mentioned, so he also promoted the small universe, and I also promoted the small universe, so I stared at each other! " When Zhu Yilong talked about his first impression, he sincerely said: "It was too dark, I didn’t see it clearly …" That led William Feng to "remedy" quickly. "He didn’t wear contact lenses that day!" Also reminded each other in a low voice that "we should flatter each other at this time", Zhu Yilong instantly understood and replied: "Brother Feng is very handsome! My first impression when I saw Feng Ge was that Feng Ge was more handsome than I expected … "

Recently, "tourism partners are accused of being involved in pornography" has attracted attention.It is reported that some netizens found on a social platform that "all-inclusive travel expenses" is becoming a code word. Under the eye-catching title of such posts, it is usually indicated that "girls only, each takes what he needs". In response to this matter, on the 30 th, the relevant staff of the social platform said that at present, a full-scale review has been carried out for the notes related to the "travel partner" in the station, and the problems reflected by the users mentioned in the article have not yet been located. Once the illegal content is verified, the illegal users will be seriously dealt with according to the law.(August 31st. China News Network)

With the fiery travel, young people are eager to complete a beautiful trip with the partners who resonate with the same frequency, and the "travel partner" comes into being. Behind the "tourism partner", it reflects the new needs of the younger generation in social and tourism consumption. They find travel companions through social media platforms or specific applications and reach a consensus on travel. This way encourages people to get out of the comfort zone, establish contact with strangers and create a unique and unforgettable travel experience together. However, the beautiful vision of sharing travel experiences has changed in social media platforms.

The emergence of new things is bound to be accompanied by some new problems, and the disadvantages of social interaction are gradually emerging. Some lawless elementsBorrowThe name of the child, the fact of illegal transactions, makes the original pure travel contract a tool for illegal crimes. Social networking with partners is plagued by abuse and misleading on social media platforms: for example, words such as "all-inclusive expenses, optional location" or "girls only, each with his own needs" appear from time to time in the copywriting, and some users even mentioned that they were asked if they were looking for a "green partner". The dissemination of this information not onlyGedaSub-socialization itself casts a shadow, which raises people’s concerns about their privacy and security. The existence of this kind of behavior has undoubtedly pushed the social interaction of partners to the forefront of morality and law, and the future development of social interaction of partners has become vague and uncertain.

The response of the platform involved has taken a positive step.DandaThe abuse of sub-socialization exists not only in one platform, but also in other social platforms. Therefore, all major social platforms should strengthen the audit mechanism, strengthen the monitoring and control of platform content, and contribute to optimizing the network ecological environment. Government departments also need to continue to exert their efforts in supervision, formulate relevant laws and regulations, and severely punish the abuse of social partners for illegal transactions. In addition, the public’s own risk awareness and moral values are equally important. Virtual identities on the Internet are often difficult to distinguish, and it is not uncommon to transmit illegal information through obvious words and expressions. In social networks, users should be rational, keep their eyes open while holding a group to keep warm, and not be blinded by superficial information to prevent the infringement of criminals.

In today’s society full of alienation and social pressure, partner socialization provides a unique and beneficial way for some people to interact. We can’t let the behavior of a few abusers,And denyThe positive value of social interaction. Therefore, all sectors of society need to work together to protect the purity and legitimacy of partner socialization, and strive to ensure that partner socialization is not distorted as a tool for illegal transactions while meeting people’s social needs, so that partner culture can continue to radiate warmth and friendliness and bring positive energy to society.

The animated version of "Double Pride" mainly tells the story that Xiaoyu and Hua Wuque started their Jianghu trips from the Villain’s Valley and the Flower Palace respectively, and in the process, they never met each other and went to appreciate each other, and then joined forces to fight against the villains. The tortuous and bizarre life experience adds a "sad" background to the fate of the two brothers who were forced to separate since childhood. Because of this, the two people showed their indomitable and unyielding qualities in their respective growth processes, such as "getting out of the mud without being stained", which moved countless audiences.


In the animation, the two brothers joined hands with the heroine Tie Xinlan to fight against the five villains, the twelve astrologers and the villain Jiang Yulang.

As the first animated work in Gu Long’s martial arts IP, "Double Pride" also inherits the martial arts culture well — — This unique cultural element and valuable asset of China. For a long time, no matter how the external environment changes, Chinese people have always maintained a high degree of reverence and praise for chivalrous spirits such as gratitude, honesty and trustworthiness, once upon a time in america, etc., and thus many literary and film works have been born, constantly conveying the feelings and righteousness, kindness and warmth in the world. It can be said that "chivalrous spirit" has become one of the unique cultural business cards of the Chinese nation.


The new era needs new works and new expressions. How to make young people understand and love China’s traditional culture has always been a big problem in the process of literary and artistic creation. Especially with the development of the times, young people’s appreciation ability and aesthetic demand for literary and artistic works are increasing day by day. Only by constantly innovating expression forms on the basis of ensuring the content can we better attract the audience. The animation "Double Pride" not only restores all kinds of strange people in the rivers and lakes in Gu Long’s works, but also shows a strong antique charm and romantic atmosphere in scene modeling, painting style, soundtrack and action design. For example, the elegant and refined Flower Transfer Palace, the sinister villain’s valley and the magnificent Murong Mountain Villa are beautifully and freehand restored in the film, showing an all-encompassing river and lake scene; In addition, the title also presents the "Great War Seventeen Years ago" in the form of ink painting to the audience, highlighting the "romance and lofty sentiments" of Gulong Jianghu in all directions.

Martial arts culture links non-legacy handicrafts to make national culture glow with new vitality.


On November 21st, the animation of "Two Prides in a Family" joined hands with the national key non-legacy project "Wang’s Shadow Play in Huaxian County" to launch the activity of "The Swordsman’s Shadow Play resurfaces", and at the same time exposed the shadow play handicraft works of Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque, in which Hua Wuque was armed with a long sword, wore a hairpin, dressed in blue, tied with a jade pendant and a fragrant bag, and the image of a gentle and elegant son came to the fore. The little fish holds a short knife in each hand, dressed in red cloth, tied with a rope and a bag around his waist, with weeds in his mouth and unruly eyes, and his lively and agile image temperament is also vivid; In addition, the overall line design of these two shadow puppetry works is also very fine. The lines and patterns on the clothes of Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque are very clear, vivid and have ancient charm. Once they were launched, they won praise from the audience.


Shadow play originated in the Western Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago and originated in Shaanxi Province, China. In Huazhou District, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, the hometown of shadow play in China, Wang Haiyan, the non-genetic inheritor of Wang’s shadow play, has been committed to the combination and promotion of national culture and intangible heritage for many years, and has designed many exquisite and heritage-rich handicraft works for various cultural products, including movies, cartoons and games. This time, the dream linkage between "Wang’s Shadow Play" and the animation "Two Prides in a Family" has brought the shadow play, a cultural heritage with a long history and tradition, back to the public in a younger and more dynamic way, bringing the audience beautiful enjoyment and conveying the value and charm of intangible culture to the young audience.


At the same time, martial arts culture, like shadow play, belongs to Chinese treasures, and classics need to be passed down.

This is of great significance for young audiences to feel the charm of Chinese culture and enhance their cultural self-confidence and cultural identity.


To sum up, as a Guo Man’s work adapted from the classic martial arts IP, it has both sentimental and cultural heritage value. In the cross-dimensional cooperation of "animation+martial arts", "Double Pride" shows its unique charm and is well received by young audiences, which provides a good example for how contemporary literary works can make young people better understand and accept traditional culture.
