An announcement that Hengda Property sued Hengda for 2 billion exposed the internal entanglement of the "father and son".

In fact, it is not only Hengda Property that has taken the parent company to court. Since the beginning of this year, there have been many cases of property companies recovering accounts receivable from related real estate companies. At present, the real estate industry is in a downward cycle, and the capital problems of real estate related parties often lead to the impact of property companies, especially listed property companies. On the one hand, they are suspected of "blood transfusion" parent company. On the other hand, the real estate liquidity crisis has caused a large number of bad debts of property companies in accounts receivable, which has affected the profitability level.

In the opinion of industry experts, establishing a regulatory system for the use of property management fees in the property industry to ensure that project funds can be misappropriated at least is the key to preventing such incidents.

Hengda property to China Hengda recover 2 billion yuan

On November 28, Hengda Property announced that regarding the enforcement of its deposit pledge of about 13.40 billion yuan by the relevant banks, its wholly-owned subsidiary Jinbi Property has filed a lawsuit with the Intermediate People’s Court of Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, China, for the recovery of Shenzhen Qihang Metal Materials Co., Ltd., Guizhou Guangjuyuan Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., Hengda Real Estate Group Co., Ltd., Hengda Real Estate Group Co., Ltd., and China Hengda Group for the enforcement of the deposit certificate pledge guarantee of about 2 billion yuan by the bank. It requires the relevant responsible parties to repay about 1.996 billion yuan and the provisional interest of about 150 million yuan. Hengda Property said in the announcement that it has received the notice of the court’s formal acceptance of the case on November 28.

On November 29, China Evergrande announced that it had paid attention to Hengda Property’s announcement on November 28 that Jinbi Property (a subsidiary of Hengda Property) had sued China Evergrande and three related subsidiaries for the enforcement of the 2 billion yuan deposit certificate pledge guarantee by the bank. As of now, China Evergrande has not received the notice of the Guangzhou Intermediate People’s Court to file a lawsuit against Jinbi Property.

It is well known that China Evergrande and Evergrande Property have a "father and son" relationship, and the public litigation at this time also exposed its internal entanglements.

In this regard, Yuan Chengjian, co-founder of Jiancheng Shengye, believes that from the perspective of legal relationship, although the two companies are affiliated companies, they are also two independent listed companies. Adopting such a legal and responsible handling method for shareholders can protect the interests of Hengda property shareholders during the handling of Hengda real estate debt, and also provide a reference for other similar events.

"But judging from the current situation, this treatment method has little practical effect, and it is estimated that the misappropriated funds that can be truly recovered will not be too much, or even just a kind of debt confirmation." Yuan Chengjian said.

Wang Yuchen, director of Beijing Jinsheng Law Firm, also pointed out that even if Hengda Property eventually wins the case, it will be difficult to recover the money, because judging from the current financial situation of China Evergrande, there may also be difficulties in implementation.

Xinyuan Service and Jinke Service also "collect debts" from the parent company

Taking the parent company to court is not just Hengda Property, but also the case of property service companies collecting debts from affiliated real estate companies.

On August 15 this year, Xinyuan Service announced that the financing obtained from its pledge was finally transferred to Xinyuan Real Estate for its daily business activities, namely project construction and delivery guarantee. Subsequently, Xinyuan Service submitted an arbitration against Xinyuan Real Estate to the Hong Kong International Arbitration Center, claiming to recover any losses suffered by the company on the mortgage.

It is reported that Xinyuan Real Estate holds shares in Xinyuan Service 300 million with a shareholding ratio of 60%. Xinyuan Real Estate is wholly owned by Xinyuan Real Estate.

In October this year, Xinyuan Service announced that the Hong Kong Arbitration Center has made a final and legally binding arbitration award, requiring Xinyuan Real Estate to immediately pay the losses suffered by Xinyuan Service, including the deposit principal of 402 million yuan, the time deposit interest loss of 2443.82 million yuan and the cost of review and investigation, totaling about 430 million yuan. On November 15, Xinyuan Service, which has been suspended for one year, issued two announcements to update its resumption progress.

In addition, the related party transaction between Jinke Services and Jinke shares has also been a source of concern.

Jinke shares received the litigation materials from the Chongqing No. 1 Intermediate People’s Court on May 29, and learned that the plaintiff Jinke Service Sued Company and its holding subsidiaries’ case on loan contract disputes has been accepted by the court. Jinke shares are requested to immediately return the principal of the loan of Jinke Smart Service 1.50 billion yuan, the interest as of March 20, 2023 32.3327 million yuan and the interest from March 21 to the settlement date.

On August 13, Jinke Services announced that the relevant member companies of Jinke Shares will transfer their respective offset properties to Jinke Services as payment in lieu of the payables due from the continuing related party transaction. The amount involved is 20.40 million yuan, and the offset properties include 36 items, with a total valuation of 20.80 million yuan. Although the relevant member companies of Jinke Shares have transferred 36 offset properties to offset the payables of about 20.40 million yuan, the scale of debt offset is still relatively limited compared to the litigation amount of about 1.50 billion yuan.

At that time, Jinke Service proposed in the announcement that Jinke shares were currently facing a serious liquidity crisis, and therefore could not settle the payments due to the company in cash. In view of the relevant circumstances, the company had reduced the provision of property management services or non-owner value-added services to Jinke shares.

Industry: Establishing a regulatory system is the key to prevention

In recent years, the profitability of property enterprises has declined significantly, among which the clearing of risks such as related party transactions is the main reason. In this regard, the Middle Finger Research Institute analyzed that the real estate liquidity crisis has caused a large number of bad accounts receivable of property companies, which has greatly affected the level of profitability. For example, in 2022, the average value of accounts receivable and bills of listed companies in property services was 1.531 billion yuan, an increase of 36.45% year-on-year; some listed companies disclosed the accounts receivable from related companies, and the average value of this indicator was 173 million yuan, an increase of 63.21% year-on-year. With the expansion of the scale of accounts receivable, the turnover days of accounts receivable have slowed down significantly. In 2022, the bad debt provisions for accounts receivable accrued by property management companies have generally increased. Some companies have made a large amount of impairment against the accounts receivable of related real estate enterprises, which has a significant impact on their performance.

In fact, in the past two years, the real estate industry has been in a downward cycle, and many property companies have also been affected by the financial problems of real estate related parties. On the one hand, the financial independence of listed property companies has been questioned, and they are suspected of "blood transfusion" parent companies. On the other hand, a large number of related party transactions receivables cannot be collected.

In this regard, Yuan Chengjian believes that establishing a regulatory system for the use of property management fees in the property industry to ensure that project funds can be misappropriated at least is the key to preventing such incidents, and it is also a true system guarantee for owners to be responsible.

On April 2, 2023, rave, a cutting-edge domestic brand that focuses on new lifestyles, held a new product launch conference in Shenzhen with the theme of "opening a new imagination of life".AICE3, the first smart wearable air conditioner with human health monitoring function on the whole network, made a stunning appearance at this conferenceBrand co-founder Yan Longpeng and product manager Luo Rui made an in-depth analysis of the product’s original R & D intention, R & D process and innovative performance points at the press conference, and introduced the epoch-making product in detail for the global audience in an all-round way.

With the original intention of driving industry change, we continue to make efforts for outdoor cooling

In the past few years, the Rave Research Institute found that as the climate warms, more than 366 national weather stations around the world have released record high temperatures, and the number of people who die from heat stroke every year is as high as 5 million, and this number continues to rise. However, traditional fans and air conditioning products are very limited in application scenarios due to their bulky characteristics. At this conference, Yan Longpeng, the co-founder of the Rave brand, also carried a traditional air conditioner weighing nearly 40 kilograms to "demonstrate" the wrong outdoor cooling method for the audience. To this end, the Rave Research Institute has been hoping to develop a lightweight outdoor cooling product to solve the problem of heat stroke in outdoor travel for humans, and continues to make unremitting efforts to this end.

In 2020, Rave launched a market-disrupting bladeless neck fan, bringing the neck fan into the public eye, freeing their hands to welcome the summer breeze and refreshing users’ awareness of outdoor cooling products.

In 2021, rave noticed users’ high pursuit of high wind, so it revolutionized the air duct and launched a 4-core super-wind neck fan, which greatly improved the wind speed and increased the air volume by 130%.

In 2022, the rave innovative 8 air duct will produce wind up and down, and the new Phantom neck fan will be officially launched, truly enabling the wind to cover the whole body.

These three products have been ranked first in the domestic online market for three consecutive years, and more and more users and brands in the same industry have begun to pay attention to outdoor cooling products. On the way to driving industry change, rave can be said to have played a key role in promoting and leading. However, in order to create a more extreme outdoor cooling experience, rave research institute has undergone 4 years of technical research and continuous iterative innovation of products. In 2023, rave’s new generation of smart wearable air conditioners ushered in new opportunities.

An epoch-making explosion was born, opening up a new imagination of life

Up to now, the rave neck series has successfully applied for more than 230 patents, and has received a large number of real and original sound feedback from users around the world, which has been well received. However, rave’s research and development of products does not stop there. How to make the wind cooler and more comfortable is still the key point that rave needs to explore and improve.

In 2022, rave upgraded the neck fan to a neck air conditioner for the first time, and the cooling technology took a big step forward. "Although we have made a breakthrough in the industry, we still aspire to create an outdoor cooling product that is more extreme, healthier, and more able to meet the multi-dimensional needs of users," said the brand co-founder. Therefore, AICE3 smart wearable air conditioner was born under such a great research and development mission.

At the press conference, brand co-founder Yan Longpeng officially announced the three epoch-making innovations of AICE3:

"A device that truly realizes rapid coolingAICE3 can achieve an instantaneous temperature drop of 12.6 degrees, and the cooling performance is 26% higher than that of the previous generation of neck air conditioners, which is a ceiling-level existence in the industry.

"True outdoor equipment with human health monitoring": AICE3 is also a smart device that can monitor heart rate, blood oxygen and other signs at all times. It can monitor changes in human signs and soothe users’ emotions by adjusting temperature. It is an intelligent cooling partner that can truly understand emotions. Considering the development trend of the current environment, the function of integrating" health "monitoring can be said to be homeopathic.

"A truly intelligent temperature-controlled deviceThe AICE3 is equipped with an Arm32-bit smart chip, which can automatically adjust temperature changes according to the ambient temperature without manual operation, truly achieving active temperature regulation and making intelligence ubiquitous.

These three technologies that revolutionized the times were a major breakthrough in outdoor cooling equipment, which was enough to establish the leading position of rave neck air conditioners in the industry.

RANVOO-ICEMAX cooling technology and Metaura interactionSystem, refresh the new height of products of the same category

After a large number of user research, experiments and scientific calculation and demonstration, Rave found that "comfortable cooling experience" is the core demand of users to purchase cool products in hot weather, and effectively reducing the body temperature under high temperature is also the difficulty that outdoor cooling equipment needs to overcome. Therefore, the Rave Research Institute has improved and optimized the cooling technology from the three dimensions of "cooling efficiency", "heat dissipation system" and "innovative air duct", and strives to bring a cool and comfortable healthy cooling experience. This is also the launch of the AICE3 networkRave Ice Sensing Technology (RANVOO-ICEMAX)Product manager Luo Rui said in an interview with the media, "It is with the support of this cooling technology that AICE3 has achieved a continuous reduction of 10 degrees even in a high temperature environment of 40 degrees. Looking at the industry, no outdoor cooling product has been able to do it so far."

Products that can only cool down are not enough to have the significance of "epoch-making". Making the product return to the human itself is the ultimate goal of rave’s research and development of outdoor cooling products. rave hopes that smart wearable air conditioners are not only a tool for adjusting hot and cold, but also pay attention to the user’s health status, so that temperature can become a means of calming emotions and relieving stress. Therefore, AICE3 applies the intelligent Metaura active interaction system, striving to explore different scenarios, so that users can have a more comfortable temperature experience.

AICE series products are equipped with multiple temperature sensors to monitor the user’s body temperature and ambient temperature changes in real time. It has also introduced a healthy exercise section in AICE3. Through a variety of sensors, the product intelligently senses the user’s heart rate, blood oxygen and other signs, helping users have a healthier life and challenge higher limits. For example, if you start exercising in a very hot summer, AICE3 will recognize that the user has entered the exercise state through the Metaura system, actively turn on the cooling function, and adjust the temperature and wind according to the increase or decrease of exercise intensity, frequency conversion, switch to exercise mode, record the exercise data, and assist users in completing exercise indicators in a comfortable environment.

What’s more innovative is that AICE3 has designed a 1.9 three-dimensional pressure-sensitive touch screen that can be touched with gestures. Through full-screen touch and three-dimensional pressure-sensitive gestures, convenient functions such as quickly setting temperature and stepless wind speed can be realized. It also supports instant viewing of more health and sports data on the screen. This has truly achieved a new concept of leading the future and ushered in a new era of touch screens for wearing air conditioners.

According to statistics, a total of 200,000 + users from home and abroad watched the global live broadcast of the rave AICE3 product launch on the evening of April 2 at the same time, with a total exposure of 1.784 million + people and a total of 552,000 + likes. Among them, the live stream of the rave Tmall flagship store rushed to the TOP1 real-time list of Tmall live broadcast within half an hour of the launch. This series of data shows that this new product of the subversive era has indeed focused the attention of the whole network, and has also triggered a large number of users to be curious and explore the psychology of new technology products that can lead the future. It is not difficult to predict that in this summer, the rave AICE3 smart wearable air conditioner is bound to become a super hit in the technology wearable market, once again subverting people’s perception of outdoor cooling products, opening up new imaginings in users’ lives, breaking new highs in the industry, and helping the neck series product market take off.

● Brand re-layout

　　With the release of the Galaxy series, in terms of brand, Geely has also sorted out the existing brands today. The previous Chinese star, Bo series, Bing series, and Emgrand series will form a "Jixing" product series, and the geometric brand will also return to Geely.From then on, Geely Galaxy series, Geely Star series and Geometry series will become the three major sub-series of Geely brand. In the future, the Galaxy series will focus on the market above 150,000 and within 300,000.In terms of channels, Geely Galaxy will have two models: direct connection to users and agent distribution, and will launch a new APP, introducing new experience and service standards.

● Galaxy series models/technical route layout

　　For the newly released Galaxy series, there will be two routes in the future, the intelligent electric hybrid series (long-range PHEV) and the intelligent pure electric series. Under this configuration, it can not only meet the layout of the future pure electric trend, but also allow more users who are inconvenient to supplement their energy to experience Geely’s technical level in the electric field through PHEV models.

　　Geely’s latest "Aegis Battery Safety System" not only prevents spontaneous combustion of batteries, but also builds a complete set of battery-based "no blind spot" safety protection systems that integrate architecture, vehicle, intelligent control, and cloud. It can pass 8 shields such as "Architecture Ten Gongge Patent, Vehicle Cage Protection, Fast Charging Safety and Worry-free, BMS3.0’Battery Doctor ‘Intelligent Control System" to ensure the safety of battery pack packs and battery modules.

　　The new generation of Raytheon hybrid engine B-Plus equipped with the Raytheon Hybrid 8848 has achieved a mass production thermal efficiency of 44.26%, and the next generation Raytheon hybrid engine with a thermal efficiency of 46% has been in the verification stage. In terms of performance, the Raytheon Hybrid 8848 "three-speed variable frequency electric drive" has evolved again. It is the first intelligent electric drive in the world to achieve P1 + P2 dual motor overclocking drive. The combined power of the two-wheel drive reaches 287kW, and a performance version with a combined power of 488kW will be released in the future.

　　The new Galaxy N OS is Geely’s full-stack self-developed distributed operating system. Through the connection with the new voice engine at the system layer, it brings users an interactive experience with more accurate recognition, full scene visibility, and millisecond response. At the application layer, Galaxy N OS brings a new UI style and beautiful silky Galaxy micro-motion graphics to create an immersive experience for users.

　　In the field of intelligent driving, the "heaven and earth integration" version of Galaxy Smart Driving solution based on Geely satellites will be launched soon. At present, Galaxy Smart Driving can stop in time in the face of stationary targets when cruising at a high speed of 90km/h; Geely Star Smart Computing Center can simulate 100,000 kilometers of intelligent driving behavior training in 1 day, combined with intelligent network connection professional test field and actual road test, to meet the L3 global certification standard.

　　Geely’s self-developed centimeter-level satellite high-precision positioning module has passed the vehicle-level certification. Through the integration of Geely satellite communication, navigation, and remote sensing technologies, this technology can achieve accurate positioning and never lose contact. It is expected that in 2025, Geely will complete the network of 72 low-orbit satellites, and Geely Galaxy Smart Drive will achieve global positioning without blind spots. In the future, Geely Galaxy Smart Drive will also take the lead in mass production of leading technologies such as cross-layer memory parking, high-speed emergency antelope obstacle avoidance, and low-speed exploration and crossing.

● Galaxy L7

　　The Galaxy L7 is a plug-in hybrid SUV model that focuses on long range. It can offer various advantages of electric vehicles and ensure range when charging is inconvenient. For the moment, a PHEV is a way to achieve both.

　　All the next products of Geely Galaxy will use the design language of "Galaxy Light". On the outside, the Galaxy L7 creates a relatively full shape, and the front part uses a lot of curves, and the details are also the mainstream style trend of the current new energy vehicles. The side lines use a similar slippery back design, but it is not very inclined, so the head space for the rear row is not affected by the shape.

　　In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4700mmX1905mmX1685mm, and the wheelbase is 2785mm, which is the size of a compact SUV. It is close to the size of BYD Song PLUS and Honda CR-V. For an ordinary family of three, practicality is guaranteed. In addition, the door does not use the hidden door handle that some new energy brands prefer. From the experience of previous winter tests, this traditional door handle will lose some of the overall feeling of the door, but it is convenient to pull, and it can also reduce the possibility of being frozen to death in extreme environments. The rear of the car adopts a through-type tail light, which is also the most mainstream style at present. The simple rear is clearly layered, and the two-color guard at the bottom makes it more visually eye-catching.

　　The interior is designed with a hug style as a whole. The center console is supplemented by multiple large screens, 10.25-inch meter + 13.2-inch center control screen + 16.2-inch passenger screen + 25.6-inch AR HUD. Four display screens provide rich driving information and entertainment information. The pocket block design makes the front center channel more practical, providing more cup holders, storage space and wireless charging positions.

　　For the most important chip of a smart car, the Galaxy L7 is equipped with an 8155 chip, which also allows the Galaxy N OS system to be used for faster and smoother control and improved user experience. Boot speed, application response speed and Keyword Spotting speed are all agile.

　　In terms of comfort, in addition to enough space, the co-pilot provides a leg support function, as well as heating, ventilation, massage, physiotherapy and other configurations. In theater mode, the seat automatically reverses to a comfortable angle of 35 degrees, providing a good viewing posture.

　　In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a hybrid system composed of a 1.5T four-cylinder engine + motor. The new generation of Raytheon hybrid technology is equipped with a 3 DHT Pro variable frequency electric drive. Using the P1 + P2 solution, it can not only assist in driving, but also drive independently. In terms of performance, it also has remarkable performance. The acceleration of 0-100km/h is 6.9 seconds, which supports ejection start; the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers of power loss is only 5.23L; the CLTC comprehensive cruising range is 1370 kilometers.

"BYD Song PLUS (left)/Latte DHT PHEV"

　　Galaxy L7, as a compact SUV model, will compete with BYD Song PLUS, WEY Macchiato, and Latte in the future. Overall, there are still many competitors in this market, including Chinese brands and overseas brands, but in fact, there are not many outstanding sales. Therefore, Galaxy L7 has competitive pressure, but it also has great hope of breaking through in the competition.

● Galaxy Light prototype

　　The pure electric Galaxy Light prototype is a large-size coupe model with a low center of gravity and a wide body posture. For pure electric models, the very important drag coefficient has reached the level of 0.19 under the round body curve. It is reported that its production version is expected to be launched by the end of this year.

　　The front face of the model still adopts Geely’s ripple aesthetic design style. The "Ripple of Light" front face reinterprets the ripple aesthetic through photoelectric design techniques. The headlight shape that absorbs the upward momentum of the cornices gives the entire front face a more vivid effect. In terms of technology, the front face integrates high definition cameras, radar sensors, and information display panels, of which the information panel is similar to the Dynamic Island of iPhone, which can realize information interaction between cars and cars, and cars and people.

　　The side shows the design highlights of the coupe model, and the sportier posture makes people look twice even when static. In addition to styling, in terms of technology configuration, streaming rearview mirrors, hidden door handles, side sentry mode camera screens, NFC unlock areas, charging ports, outdoor mobile charging power supplies, outdoor mobile lighting tools, etc., are not only rich in functions, but also maintain a simple style in design.

　　For new energy vehicles, the formerly flat roof now takes on more tasks, including lidar, high brakes, cameras and drone modules, etc., and has made efforts to expand autonomous driving and life functions.

　　In terms of interior, in addition to the already common center console large LCD screen, the new model is designed with LED screens on the left and right door panels and the rear row, forming a kind of encircling and penetrating "galaxy ring screen". Through the touch-to-reach "information flash" interaction mode, it provides a smoother, more natural and safer interaction experience. The front row can push in-car information to the rear row to share, and they can also enjoy entertainment without disturbing each other. The rear row can also provide driving information assistance for the front driver, such as navigation, destination sending, etc., bringing more protection to the driver’s driving safety.

Editor’s comment:

　　In the past, Chinese brands liked to carry out multi-brand strategies, but later began to shrink due to efficiency and other issues. Geely also had many products before, but it lacked effective sorting. Now it is re-divided into three series, talking about better integration of products to improve overall efficiency and have stronger competitiveness in the market. (Text/Autohome Qi Zixin)

　　The Beijing News reported on December 2According to Xinhua News Agency, since November, Chongqing, Hainan Sanya, Gansu Yongdeng and Guangdong Shantou and other places have a series of taxi strikes. Taxi strikes are frequent, from one side of the refraction of monopoly.

　　The right to operate a taxi was fired to millions

　　In response to the taxi industry monopoly, Chongqing’s "brother" Yang Xiaoming proposed the idea of "People’s Taxi Company" three years ago. However, when Yang Xiaoming applied to the Chongqing Municipal Transportation Administration for "taxi operation indicators", he was rejected.

　　In fact, what Yang Xiaoming was denied was a monopolistic public resource – the right to operate taxis.

　　At present, the taxi operating rights used by taxi companies are transferred by the government in the form of "concessions". At first, they were mostly transferred for free or at a low price, but they were monopolized and speculated by some companies. In some cities, the operating rights of a taxi were speculated to millions of yuan.

　　Taxi companies return’best in the world’

　　Huang Qifan, vice mayor of Chongqing, said in a discussion with taxi drivers that the taxi company takes about 70% of the money. After deducting costs and taxes such as car purchases, a car has a profit of about 40,000 yuan per year. The average annual income is 50%, and some even as high as 70%. It is really "the industry with the best return on investment in the world."

　　Some drivers say taxi companies are simply a "rentier" class created by a monopoly.

　　Transportation department research will issue a new policy

　　Experts believe that the top priority is for government departments to take measures as soon as possible to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of drivers. Such as mandatory "three insurance" protection, formulating the maximum price of "part money", and providing unified and standardized contract models. The second is to break the monopoly of the industry.

　　According to the reporter, the State Council has identified the transportation department as the competent department of the taxi industry. At present, the transportation department is investigating the deep-seated problems of the taxi industry and will take policy measures to solve the historical legacy problems.

　　The latest data shows that there are more than 1 million taxis legally operating in the country, and there are about 2 million "brother" in the country.

The 3rd Shanghai World Artificial Intelligence Conference Cloud Summit, which ended on July 11, shoulders the mission of contributing "China’s solution" to artificial intelligence, and has become a wind vane for the development of the global artificial intelligence industry. In the face of an industry that is more unknown than known, what is the current situation of the artificial intelligence industry? What will it look like in the future? Dajiandong Studio interviewed the big coffee and enterprises who entered the venue to listen to their answers.

AI has worked its magic in a wide range of fields, and the "Shanghai sample" shows sharp corners

Ma Yun, who is giving a cloud speech with a hologram.

The epidemic is not over yet, and this conference is still full of big coffee. According to the statistics of the conference, more than 550 heavy guests gathered in the cloud, including 7 Turing Award winners, 1 Nobel Prize winner, and 62 top Chinese and foreign academicians. They analyze the artificial intelligence industry from different perspectives.

Baidu founder, chairperson and CEO Robin Li’s on-site speech said that at present, a few general AI platforms and some sub-AI platforms focusing on a certain vertical industry have emerged globally. In the vertical industries of information search, information flow recommendation, and driverless driving, artificial intelligence has proved or initially proved its potential for subversion and reconstruction of the industry.

Huawei director and CIO Tao Jingwen believes that the fourth industrial revolution has arrived, which contains huge digital opportunities. 5G + AI + cloud + industrial Internet, multi-technology integration drives industrial transformation, and human beings are accelerating into the intelligent world where everything is connected.

In the video connection, Tesla CEO Musk is very confident about the future realization of Level 5 autonomous driving. "I think it will be achieved soon, and we are confident that we will complete the basic functions of Level 5 this year."

"For example, Baidu’s autonomous driving; Ali’s city brain intelligent transportation; Tencent’s medical reading and medical image data processing; iFLYTEK’s automatic speech recognition; Cambrian, iFLYTEK, and SenseTime Technology as the representatives of start-ups in technology innovation; Hikvision occupies the first place in the global intelligent security enterprise…" Jiang Changjun, vice president of Tongji University and convener of the Shanghai artificial intelligence strategy consulting expert committee, listed them one by one, arguing that China’s artificial intelligence field, especially the intelligent industrialization application, has taken the lead in the world.

Miao Wei, Minister of MIIT, said bluntly that on the whole, the development momentum of our country’s artificial intelligence industry is good, technological innovation is increasingly active, the industrial scale continues to grow, and the application of integration with the industry continues to deepen, and the development prospect is promising.

At present, Shanghai has gathered more than 1100 key enterprises in the industry, and the output value of the artificial intelligence industry exceeds 140 billion yuan. It has gathered 100,000 industrial talents and become one of the leading regions in the development of artificial intelligence in the country.

"Statistics show that in terms of the number of AI companies, Shanghai ranks among the top in the world." Wang Yingchun, director of the Science and Technology and Society Research Office of the Shanghai Institute of Science, believes that Shanghai has taken the lead in fulfilling the mission of "pioneering a new path and model for the development of artificial intelligence", hoping to form a "Shanghai experience" and promote it nationwide.

AI in the epidemic, deep empowerment into a new trend in the industry

In the actual combat of AI, we have to mention the COVID-19 epidemic. The new round of industrial transformation force represented by artificial intelligence has highlighted "smart responsibility" in various aspects such as disease diagnosis, screening and follow-up, drug research and development, logistics and distribution.

Image detection is an important basis and means for the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19. The "uAI COVID-19 Intelligent Assisted Analysis System" developed by United Imaging, an artificial intelligence subsidiary of United Imaging Group, is the industry’s first AI full-process solution that integrates the overall and partial image characteristics of pneumonia and accurately triages pneumonia images.

In the face of the explosive demand for medical treatment, artificial intelligence assisted diagnosis system comes into play. Shanghai Yitu Technology launched the "COVID-19 intelligent evaluation system" based on artificial intelligence technology, carried out rapid diagnosis and intelligent analysis of curative effect, and launched it in the Shanghai Public Health Center. The evaluation results of more than 70 cases of COVID-19 have been preliminarily verified, showing that the evaluation results of the system are highly consistent with the evaluation of experts.

In the epidemic, as the first wall of intelligent early warning monitoring, the fire-eyed infrared thermometer independently developed by Shanghai Zero Carbon Technology Company can simultaneously monitor up to 100 targets in a unit area, and distinguish the temperature of each individual through an infrared detector with an accuracy of 0.1 degrees, which greatly shortens the measurement time.

In addition, UKED’s safe house technology provides support for information investigation of personnel in epidemic key regions; Yunzhisheng has launched "epidemic prevention and control robots", which has effectively helped grassroots street communities to carry out health tracking and flow investigation; small i robots use automatic speech recognition, semantic understanding and other technologies to carry out voice interaction, providing free epidemic prevention robot services to the community…

The actual combat of AI in the epidemic highlights the new trend of AI deeply empowering the industry. Ge Yue, global vice president of Apple, exclaimed, "The epidemic has shown us the power of technology."

"Artificial intelligence is a magic card in our hands." Chen Liming, chairperson of IBM Greater China Group, said that embracing new digital technologies represented by artificial intelligence and cloud computing will help enterprises reduce or even resolve the impact of unforeseen events such as major epidemics.

Basic research is still a shortcoming, and an influential ecosystem has not yet been formed

The artificial intelligence industry has made great progress, but it is still in its infancy and there are still many shortcomings.

Ge Junbo, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and head of the cardiology department at Sun Yat-sen Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, believes that the application of artificial intelligence in reality has not been perfect so far. Medical big data is still "big and messy" because of the lack of data governance standards. "What artificial intelligence needs is accurate data. It can provide a diagnosis through learning, sometimes more accurate than a doctor. The premise is that the data you give it must be accurate."

"Technology is very useful, but it is only a tool. It can be fully utilized in technology applications in the future, but you cannot be superstitious about technology." Zhang Wenhong, director of the infectious disease department of Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, said that there are still many obstacles to the clinical application of big data.

He pointed out that when there are unexpected situations in big data, reliable doctors can rely on their own logic to continuously generate new data. Although artificial intelligence can continuously learn and make new judgments at every stage, medical care is not a game of Go. Artificial intelligence cannot generate new data here, but also relies on people.

Similarly, Liu Qingfeng, chairperson of iFLYTEK, said that the development of artificial intelligence today is by no means as long as there is data or as long as the data can be used to solve the problem.

How to use less data to achieve better results and make data self-driven more effective; how to solve multilingual problems; how to solve privacy problems; how to solve emotional humanization problems… In his opinion, artificial intelligence still has a lot of core technology innovation, which is a real need for source technology innovation and strong technology field.

Jiang Changjun said frankly that the current artificial intelligence industry in our country has not yet formed an influential ecosystem and industrial chain. Compared with the United States and Europe, it is more focused on application landing, and the development of basic theories and original algorithms is weak, and there is a lack of breakthrough and landmark research results. The development of common technology platforms and smart chips is relatively weak.

"We need to further raise awareness, focus on the future, increase research efforts, make up for technical shortcomings, establish an industrial ecology, and seize the commanding heights of the industry."

It is gratifying to note that currently, leading Internet companies have realized that establishing an industrial ecosystem through open-source technology is an important means to seize the commanding heights of the industry. For example, Baidu’s PaddlePaddle, Tsinghua University’s Jittor, Megvii’s MegEngine, and Huawei’s MindSpore have all open-sourced their deep learning algorithms to master the underlying AI technology through independent research and development.

What is the potential of the artificial intelligence industry? The world will have a super 12 trillion market space

How will the artificial intelligence industry develop in the future?

"It is expected that by 2025, the ICT industry will have 5 trillion scale, the retail industry will be about 1.50 trillion scale, and the smart manufacturing 6.40 trillion scale." Tao Jingwen believes that with the application of artificial intelligence and big data, the world will have a market space of more than 12 trillion, which requires a more open attitude and cooperation.

"There is a saying in the field of artificial intelligence: there is as much artificial intelligence as there is artificial intelligence, and it refers to the learning curve that a technology needs to go through in the early development process. Some people call this the sowing season and the harvest season." Chen Liming, chairperson of IBM Greater China Group, said that with the passage of time, the accumulation of experience, the enrichment of algorithms and the increase of investment, artificial intelligence will also break through the early learning cost and accelerate the deployment in various industries. Perhaps 20 years later, many companies are AI companies in a sense.

"A few years ago, a city needed to do intelligent computing and needed more than a dozen cabinets; a year ago, this AI chip could already reduce the number of cabinets to one; in the next ten years, as long as it is shrunk a hundred times on a palm-sized chip, one hand can support the city management needed today." Yitu Zhulong said that the next ten years will be the super-Moore era of AI computing power.

Wang Xiaoqiu, President of SAIC Motor Group, realized that new-generation information technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing are important engines driving technological revolution and industrial change. In the future, with the continuous maturity of 5G artificial intelligence and other technologies, it will surely promote the accelerated leap of the economy and society from networking to intelligence.

Liu Qingfeng, chairperson of iFLYTEK, said: "In the post-epidemic era, we have been promoted to the digital’survival era ‘. In the future, online and offline life will become the norm. Whether it is epidemic prevention and control, or future production and life, we will face a phased or long-term coexistence of online and offline digital survival. Artificial intelligence lights up the fireworks in the world, which is not only a very attractive and attractive picture in the future, but also a huge trend in the future that we will have to face."

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, many people have also raised some concerns: Will AI replace our jobs?

Wang Yingchun, director of the Science and Technology and Society Research Office of the Shanghai Institute of Science, said, "Every profession is made up of different job content, and artificial intelligence replaces some of them, and eventually forms a working model in which humans and machines coexist harmoniously."

"In the next stage, AI will be ubiquitous and easier to apply. Traditional companies have the ability to hire their own AI engineers, just as every company has IT engineers today." Kai-Fu Lee, founder and CEO of Innovation Works, believes that AI + will continue to be valuable, but + AI is the bigger solution.

　　China News August 17th According to Washington post, it is less than three months before the US election, and the "Wal-Mart Mom" from battleground states such as Ohio and Arizona has become the focus.

　　"Wal-Mart mothers" refer to those mothers who have to work and take care of their children. They seek the balance between the workplace and the family, and pursue a frugal life while fulfilling their mission. These middle-aged women in their thirties and forties have different backgrounds and family incomes, which can generally reflect the living standards of local voters. However, their attitude towards the general election is not optimistic, and they also show resistance to the presidential candidates of the two major parties.

　　These "Wal-Mart moms" generally said that the decision between Hillary and Trump made them afraid, painful and disappointed, and one of them even called the election "disgusting". According to surveys in Ohio and Phoenix, when they were asked about their biggest concern about voting for Hillary, four fifths called Hillary "untrustworthy" and thought she was cocky and duplicitous. For Trump, most people think that this business tycoon is impulsive, opinionated and lacking in humanity.

　　"Volvo Mom": I prefer lively Trump, but I agree that Hillary will be elected.

　　Julie, an executive who works in Columbus, said: "I think they are all hypocritical, but I feel that she (Hillary) has more handles to catch." Linda, an entrepreneur from Phoenix, is tired of Hillary’s repeated whitewashing of the scandal. She said, "What she did in shattered glass, those things can’t be calmed down at all."

　　Only a few people supported Hillary Clinton because she was moved by her original intention to run for office. Dana, a catering waitress in Columbus, is the mother of several girls. She thinks that Hillary’s election will be of great significance to women, which is the only benefit she sees.

　　All kinds of criticisms against Trump are also more sweeping. In the eyes of women, he is a dictator and a racist. Di Anna, a housewife in Phoenix, called Trump just like a child, just like her two-year-old child. Connie, who lives in the same city, said: "What he is doing now can be described as shooting himself in the foot and will eventually be destroyed by himself."

　　Among the women surveyed in Columbus, three tend to vote for Trump, two choose Hillary, and five are still looking for a "third option", such as choosing gary johnson, the nominee of the Liberal Party. In Phoenix, five people support Hillary, two favor Trump, and three have not yet made a decision. However, almost all the 20 women interviewed thought that Hillary would be elected in the end.

　　As a middle voter, "Wal-Mart Mom" has always been an important group that can’t be ignored. They played a decisive role in the election of Obama’s re-election in 2008 and 2012 respectively. For this general election, 20 women who participated in the interview survey all said that the presidential candidates were busy attacking and belittling their competitors, but they did not pay enough attention to key issues such as medical care and economy. They said that although the country is on the right track economically, its political framework has been destroyed, so they are afraid of the rise of terrorism. In this regard, a woman said: "I don’t believe that Hillary has the ability to defend our country, and I think Trump will cause World War III."

　　However, in private, these women seem to prefer Trump. When asked who he would invite to his home for a courtyard party, Trump won by an overwhelming margin.

　　Donna, the manager of Columbus clinic, said: "I personally feel that Trump will be more active and interesting, unlike Hillary in a suit sitting next to me solemnly." The other two women also called Hillary "cold-blooded", "heartless" and "wearing a hard shell."

　　American aunts collectively spoke strongly: Trump is suitable for swimming and Hillary is suitable for archery.

　　On the occasion of the Rio Olympic Games, these women were also asked which sports were consistent with the temperament of the two candidates. They think Trump is suitable for swimming (his mouth is finally free), playing tennis (running around in front of people), archery (you can imagine that he can aim) and being the captain of a rowing boat (shouting "Keep rowing" at others).

　　For Hillary, the answers are mostly golf (boring), archery (killed instantly), fencing (she will attack you from behind), and gymnastics (keep balance — — Try to make as many people as possible satisfied with her.

　　The "Wal-Mart moms" were upset about the November election. They said that no matter who they chose, they were not willing, and they were tired of endless abuse, personal attacks and partisanship. Maria, a housewife, said, "I will tremble." Nicole, the postman, said, "Calm down and pray for it."

　　However, Anita’s reaction to "President Donald Trump" is "funny", Di Anna thinks it is "grandstanding", and Amy, a therapist in Phoenix, will interrupt you before she finishes: "Wait … …” (Xue Ruimeng)
