Spring Festival travel rush curtain is about to open a "warm" service to help migrant workers return home safely before the holiday and return to work smoothly after the holiday.

CCTV News:The Spring Festival is approaching, and the curtain of Spring Festival travel rush in 2025 will be officially opened on 14th. The reporter learned from the Railway 12306 Science and Technology Innovation Center that since Spring Festival travel rush tickets were sold on December 31, 2024, by 16: 00 on January 12, 2025, 75.74 million tickets had been sold during Spring Festival travel rush.

Free train departure for migrant workers from Guangzhou, Guangdong to Jingmen, Hubei.

On the morning of the 12th, more than 700 Hubei migrant workers working in Guangdong took a free train home. This is also the first special train for returning home with love in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area this year. 

On the morning of the 12th, at Guangzhou South Railway Station, many migrant workers from Jingmen, Hubei Province arrived at the waiting hall before dawn. Many people told reporters that the G1136 train they took was a newly opened high-speed train from Guangzhou to Jingmen. This year, the Hubei Human Resources and Social Security Department also booked tickets for them in advance, which not only shortened the time to return home, but also saved worry and money.

Ji Yaou, Deputy Secretary-General of Jingmen Municipal Government of Hubei Province, said: "In the form of chartered car, from January 12 — On January 17th, there were 6 return trains from Guangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai, and our Jingmen migrant workers returned home free of charge. "

At present, there are more than 43 million migrant workers in Guangdong, including more than 24 million from other provinces. In order to ensure the orderly flow of migrant workers during the Spring Festival, this year 1-mdash; In March, the local community department is expected to organize 30 special trains and more than 300 chartered buses to return to their hometowns.

Qian Qi Long, a passenger attendant at Guangzhou South Railway Station, said: "This year is different from previous years. The passenger flow in Spring Festival travel rush came very early. We also made full preparations in advance, set up a special assembly point for migrant workers, and provided services such as boarding directions at subways, bus stops and bus stops."

In Dezhou, Shandong Province, a community job fair is going on, and more than 70 enterprises have provided more than 500 jobs, mainly for migrant workers who stay in the local area for the New Year.

In addition, many local enterprises in Shandong also provide various subsidies and benefits for those who stay in their posts.

Jiang Hao, deputy director of the coordination department of the Department of Migrant Workers’ Work of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, said: "All localities should provide convenient services for migrant workers to purchase tickets and travel by car, strengthen the docking of export and import places, and organize point-to-point chartered and special train transportation to help the majority of migrant workers return home safely before the holiday and return to work smoothly after the holiday."

Let the Intangible Heritage Innovate and Inherit on Campus —— Handing on the Incentives with Ingenuity, Keeping the Youth intact.

  In recent years, Jinan has continuously explored the construction of a long-term mechanism for non-legacy to enter the campus, further stimulating young people’s interest in Chinese excellent traditional culture, and allowing non-legacy seeds to take root and blossom on campus.

  The sand painting version of "Meng" Nalisa, the dough modeling version of the cute giant panda, the paper-cut version of 56 ethnic groups singing and dancing, the vivid Four Great Classical Novels leading group carved on the porcelain board, and the shadow play version of "Mouse Marrying" … … Recently, the 2024 Jinan Intangible Heritage Exhibition was held in the Municipal Cultural Center. More than 400 pieces of "fun and cute" intangible heritage works from more than 20 projects, including Jinan Shadow Play, Jinan Micro Sculpture, Lu Embroidery, Jinan Face Sculpture, Jinan Porcelain Carving, Jinan Egg Sculpture, Social Fire Mask and Jinan Paper-cutting, designed and created by the city’s primary and secondary school students, were unveiled, showing that students inherit intangible heritage skills and love traditional culture.

Let the Intangible Heritage Innovate and Inherit on Campus —— Handing on the Incentives with Ingenuity, Keeping the Youth intact.

  Primary and secondary schools have become an important base for non-genetic inheritance.

  At the entrance of the exhibition of "Intangible Heritage and Childlike Interest", several exquisite paper-cuts caught the attention of visitors. On the background of blue pearl paper, black paper-cut forms an image of carp jumping over the dragon gate. In the billowing waves, a dragon gate stands tall, and a carp that has successfully jumped over the dragon gate has turned into a dragon, and there are still fish around trying to jump. This paper-cut work with vivid shape and beautiful meaning was written by deaf-mute students in Jinan Special Education Center.

  In 2020, Jinan Special Education Center opened a paper-cutting course, and signed the "Teaching Agreement on the Integration of Intangible Heritage and School Education" with Wang Tao, a representative inheritor of Jinan Municipal Intangible Heritage. Wang Tao went to school every Thursday afternoon to give paper-cutting lectures to students. After several years’ study, the students’ paper-cut works have been exhibited in Jinan Cultural Center and other places for many times, which has been recognized and praised by the society, and won prizes in the Sixth Disabled Skills Competition and the Handicraft Skills Competition of Jinan Intangible Cultural Heritage.

  According to the relevant person in charge of Jinan Culture and Tourism Bureau, since the implementation of the "Non-genetic Inheritance and School Education Integration Project", various schools have carried out different forms of activities due to the differences in teaching characteristics, students’ acceptance and non-legacy projects. Some offer fixed courses; Some are daily training, such as the "drum yangko into the campus" carried out by the First Experimental Primary School in Shanghe County, and practicing "drum yangko exercise" during the broadcast gymnastics period in the school. Through all kinds of "campus-going" activities and courses, students have planted intangible seeds in a subtle and quiet way, expanding the ways of non-genetic inheritance.

  Since the official launch of the "Non-genetic Inheritance and School Education Integration Project" in Jinan in 2018, municipal financial funds have been allocated to subsidize the project inheritors who teach on campus, and a complete guarantee system has been established; The school is responsible for providing and ensuring teaching facilities. The education and cultural departments closely communicate and coordinate, integrate resources, promote the integration of non-legacy and school education in a wider scope, and actively create "non-legacy courses that cannot be taken away". Since the implementation of the project, 159 primary and secondary schools have been supported to sign teaching agreements with non-genetic inheritors, and non-legacy courses such as dough sculpture, paper-cutting, shadow play and drum yangko have been offered in schools, which have achieved remarkable teaching results and are welcomed by students and parents. In 2020, our city’s "practical case of non-genetic inheritance and school education integration project" was selected as one of the top ten outstanding practical cases of the second national "non-legacy into campus", and primary and secondary schools have become an important base for non-genetic inheritance.

  Exploring the Integration of Intangible Cultural Heritage into National Curriculum Teaching

  In the exhibition of "Intangible Heritage and Childlike Fun", the paper work "Twenty-four Solar Terms" of Yi ‘an Primary School attracts people’s attention. The works selected the corresponding plants of the twenty-four solar terms, namely, the peach blossom in Qingming, the lotus flower reflecting the sun in summer, the autumn chrysanthemum Ao Shuang in cold dew, and the Ao Mei Ling Ling &hellip in cold; … The works are elegant in color matching, delicate and lovely.

  Qiao Jiyong, the person in charge of Jinan Aifei Cultural Media Co., Ltd., who is responsible for the after-school delay service of Licheng No.2 Middle School, introduced that the schools affiliated to Licheng No.2 Middle School Education Group have set up a variety of non-legacy courses, covering pyrography, paper-cutting, seal cutting, woodworking, dough sculpture, shadow play, silk enamel, guqin, traditional dance, dough sculpture, pottery, traditional drama and other projects. Each school’s non-legacy courses also have their own characteristics, such as pyrography, paper engraving, seal cutting and Shandong fast writing in Yi ‘an Primary School, and leaf carving course in Mingrui Primary School has been held for more than five years. Renxuan Primary School has set up shadow play and paper-cutting. Courses such as guqin, carpentry and children’s opera in Jiaxuan School have also been carried out smoothly.

  Since the start of the integration project of non-genetic inheritance and school education, many schools in Jinan have established a long-term teaching system of non-legacy and set up school-based courses, which has enabled the non-legacy projects to be inherited and developed.

  Rich and colorful courses allow students to widely contact and learn intangible culture, but they still can’t achieve "comprehensive popularization". Therefore, the relevant staff of tianqiao district Culture and Tourism Bureau began to think about how to integrate intangible culture into national curriculum teaching.

  Since 2020, under the guidance of Jinan Culture and Tourism Bureau, tianqiao district Culture and Tourism Bureau has carried out extensive research on the topic of "Research on Intangible Cultural Heritage Practice Based on National Curriculum Standards". After three years of practical research, the inheritors and front-line teachers are guided to provide "heterogeneous classes in the same class" and "double-qualified classes" through the effective links between the contents of national curriculum textbooks, the implementation of teaching objectives and the 10 categories of intangible cultural heritage. Based on the national curriculum standards, intangible cultural heritage can be grafted with local intangible cultural heritage resources to construct a teaching resource package, which is combined with manual materials, videos, images, pictures and words to form a complete teaching system, systematizing and standardizing intangible cultural heritage courses and becoming a cultural course with stable output. In addition, through the practice of the project, it has transformed "non-legacy into campus" into "non-legacy". At present, the research has provided 6 demonstration lessons of Jinan’s intangible cultural heritage practice, developed more than 30 sets of intangible cultural heritage related teaching products, and published "Demonstration Lessons of Primary and Secondary Schools — — Based on the national curriculum standards. "Research on Intangible Cultural Heritage Practice Based on National Curriculum Standards" effectively integrates resources, provides a large number of teachers for schools, and effectively protects intangible cultural heritage.

Let the Intangible Heritage Innovate and Inherit on Campus —— Handing on the Incentives with Ingenuity, Keeping the Youth intact.

  School teachers become non-genetic inheritors

  In 2017, Wang Sheren No.2 Experimental Primary School introduced "Baoshan Porcelain Carving" into the school-based curriculum under the leadership of President Gao Jianzhong, the founder of Baoshan Porcelain Carving, and offered a porcelain carving class in grades four to six, with one class every week. Since 2017, more than 3,000 students have studied porcelain carving.

  In 2016, as a teacher of comprehensive practical activities, Gao Jianzhong decided to regain his childhood porcelain carving skills, and joined Shan Mengbo, a representative inheritor of Jinan egg carving and porcelain carving, and began to study systematically. From the teacher to the inheritor, and then to the non-genetic inheritor, in the process of non-legacy into the campus, some ordinary teachers with hobbies and specialties formally became "professional teachers" with non-legacy professional knowledge.

  Wang Sheren’s Second Experimental Primary School invited Shan Mengbo as the guidance consultant, Gao Jianzhong as the coach, and the two teachers and apprentices taught each other, constantly enriching the connotation and extension of porcelain carving. From the carrier, from porcelain plate to porcelain plate to porcelain bottle; From the content point of view, from sporadic creation to the theme and serialization of "Twenty-four solar terms" and "Four Great Classical Novels". In just a few years, students have emerged in various cultural fairs and art competitions, and the number of winners has reached more than 400. In the "hard work" experience, the students’ sculptures are becoming more and more detailed. For example, every hair of a character and every texture of a plant leaf are vividly portrayed.

  In 2018, Huang Zhaoquan, an art teacher at Luokou Experimental School, began to study and study pyrography with Li Qingfen, the inheritor of pyrography in Jinan. He not only inherited his pyrography skills, but also combined his hobbies and non-legacy into the campus, opened pyrography classes in the school, and trained a batch of non-legacy "gourd dolls".

  In the exhibition of "Intangible Heritage and Childlike Interest", there are also some related works of Jinan Shadow Play brought by two high schools, Jigang High School and Jinan Experimental High School. Zhao Shuyan, head of the Shadow Play Studio in Jigang High School, introduced that in 2014, the school established the Shadow Play Society with the help of Li Juan, the provincial inheritor of Jinan Shadow Play, a national intangible project. A shadow play, from script creation, painting design, carving technology, to language performance, sound effect configuration, props control, etc., is constantly studied by school teachers, consulted by experts, and then passed on to students. After 10 years’ teaching practice research, it has formed a model of "compulsory for all senior one students+elective characteristic clubs for senior two students+creation and performance of shadow play art festival". On the basis of inheriting the artistic characteristics of classic shadow play, students

  Self-writing, self-making, self-directing and self-acting have realized the innovation from script to stage, from materials to technology, and formed a unique school-based curriculum of fine arts suitable for high school students.

  Cultivate students’ interest inSocial and cultural responsibility

  The person in charge of the school and the non-genetic inheritors unanimously said that the children’s response to learning is generally very positive. They are full of curiosity and interest in these cultural forms with strong regional characteristics and are willing to invest time and energy in learning and practice.

  Gao Jianzhong, Wang Tao, Qiao Jiyong and others believe that learning non-legacy skills such as porcelain carving and paper-cutting can first improve children’s concentration, observation and imagination, and cultivate their practical ability and creative thinking; Secondly, it can cultivate children’s team consciousness, because many large-scale works need group creation, and how to compose and layout requires team efforts. Thirdly, intangible cultural heritage is also an important resource of aesthetic education.

  In 2023, Jigang High School and Jinan Experimental High School jointly hosted the exhibition of "New Yellow River, New Education and New Curriculum", which promoted the rapid growth of the school-based curriculum construction of shadow play in Jinan Experimental High School. Zhang Yiming, from Class 23, Grade 2022, said: "I mainly play the role of commentary, director and organization and coordination team. Commentary has played my specialty in Allegro storytelling, and the director has improved my organizational ability." He He, from Class 25, said, "My main role in the activity is ‘ Gonggong ’ The design and dubbing, when I create the imaginary artistic image with smooth lines and strong colors, I feel that Gonggong ‘ Live ’ Well, I am proud that my creativity can be perfectly presented. " Song Jianghan of Class 27 said: "When all the students in our class recited" Young China’s Theory ",we were impassioned and filled with tears. As teenagers in the new era, we are descendants of the Yellow River, we are the hope of the nation, and we are proud of having a great motherland with a long history and innovative development!"

  Gao Jianzhong introduced that Baoshan’s non-legacy course of porcelain carving has formed its own classroom characteristics in the process of development. For example, in the series of Four Great Classical Novels, students learned about the vivid characters in the famous works through books or film and television dramas, and then carved them to make them come to life. The whole process not only enhanced students’ understanding of the connotation of the famous works, but also innovatively inherited and developed the excellent Chinese traditional culture. Students are influenced and infected in a strong cultural atmosphere, which improves their cultural quality and has high practical value. "In the process of continuous improvement of the curriculum system of" Carving Porcelain in Baoshan ",students have more understanding of local culture and enhanced their sense of identity and pride in national culture. It also makes students realize the importance of protecting and inheriting intangible heritage, and cultivates students’ sense of responsibility for society and culture. "

  Intangible heritage is the precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation, which contains rich historical information, profound cultural heritage and unique artistic charm. Introducing intangible cultural heritage into campus can not only provide students with opportunities to contact and learn traditional culture, but also stimulate creativity and imagination and cultivate cultural self-confidence and national pride. By building a long-term mechanism for non-legacy to enter the campus, Jinan will further let non-legacy seeds take root and blossom on campus. This is not only conducive to the inheritance and development of traditional culture, but also helpful to cultivate young people in the new era who consciously carry forward and spread national culture, and promote the construction of urban culture and the promotion of urban cultural soft power.

Policy dividends continue to be released, and multiple sets of data prove that the confidence of the international community in investing in China has increased.

  CCTV News:The National Immigration Bureau recently released the national entry and exit data for the first quarter, showing that in the first quarter, the number of national ports exceeded 141 million, showing a rapid growth trend, and the number of foreigners coming to China increased significantly. Driven by a series of policies and measures to promote the exchange of Chinese and foreign personnel, the traffic of large airport ports such as Shanghai Pudong and Guangzhou Baiyun has also increased rapidly.

  With the gradual implementation of a series of visa-free agreements and other entry and exit policies in 2024, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and other countries have entered the "visa-free era", and at the same time, many countries and regions have granted convenience to China citizens such as landing visa.

  At the entry and exit site of Shanghai Pudong Airport Port, there is an endless stream of travelers. According to the data, in the first quarter, the number of mainland residents who chose to enter and leave through Pudong Airport Port reached 4.85 million, about 3.7 times that of the same period in 2023, exceeding 70% of the total number of entry and exit personnel at this port, and it is the main force of entry and exit passenger flow at this port.

  In the first quarter of 2024, more than 170,000 foreigners entered the country visa-free through Pudong Airport Port, an increase of 23.6% over the same period in 2023. Among them, more than 70% visa-free personnel come to China for tourism or business, which further shows that the visa-free policy has greatly promoted the economic and trade tourism of foreigners in China and enhanced the confidence of the international community in investing in China.

  In the past few days, at the Baiyun Airport Port in Guangzhou, foreign merchants who came to attend the 135th Canton Fair came in an endless stream. Since the beginning of April, the inbound and outbound traffic of Guangzhou Baiyun Airport has increased significantly, with more than 720,000 people entering and leaving the port. Compared with the same period in 2023, the number of foreigners entering the port has increased significantly, with a year-on-year increase of 160%.

  At the same time, affected by the favorable visa-free policy, the number of Singapore and Malaysian inbound passengers at Baiyun Airport Port continued to grow, reaching more than 23,000 and 63,000, up 3.6 times and 4.8 times respectively compared with 2023. Thanks to the continuous release of the "visa-free+visa-free" policy bonus of the National Immigration Administration, in the first quarter, more than 110,000 foreigners entered the country visa-free at Baiyun Airport.

  The popularity of cross-border tourism has gradually increased.

  With the continuous optimization of entry and exit policies, a "cross-border tour" has become the first choice for many people’s holidays, and the popularity of cross-border and border tours has gradually increased.

  On April 13th, 2023, China-Laos Railway International Passenger Train was officially launched. This economical, convenient and comfortable mode of travel has quickly become the first transportation choice for many Chinese and foreign people to travel, study, do business and communicate with each other.

  The data shows that in the first quarter of 2024, the daily average number of entry and exit personnel at Mohan Port reached more than 5,300, and the highest number of entry and exit personnel exceeded 8,000. A total of nearly 500,000 entry and exit personnel from 71 countries and regions entered and exited Mohan Port, a year-on-year increase of 51.8%.

  Similarly, at the Khorgos port in Xinjiang, the number of passengers coming and going is also one after another. At about 10: 30 every morning, it is the most intensive time for cross-border tourism and business exchanges between the two countries in the entry and exit hall of the port.

  With the proposal of "Kazakhstan Tourism Year" in China, more and more citizens of China and Kazakhstan come and go for sightseeing. In order to cope with the peak of inbound and outbound passengers, Horgos entry-exit frontier inspection station has also taken relevant measures.

Brush the screen! Just now, Huawei made a major announcement.

  "Re-build" seems to beHuaweiThe usual path of intelligent car selection.

  On April 11th, at Huawei’s spring communication meeting, the first intelligent selection model of Huawei and Chery, Zhijie S7, ushered in a "rebirth". It is worth noting that, together with the new intelligent S7, there is Huawei’s visual intelligent driving scheme.

  This is also the first case of a pure visual solution in China. Huawei’s move is also directed at Tesla, the originator of the visual intelligent driving solution.

  It is worth noting that the cooperation between Huawei and Chery has also been questioned by the market due to the previous obstacles in the delivery of Zhijie S7. This time, when Yin Tongyue, Party Secretary and Chairman of Chery Holding Group, appeared to talk about the feelings of cooperation between the two sides, he did not hesitate to praise them.

  The first pure visual intelligent driving scheme in China

  Zhijie S7 is positioned as a medium and large-sized pure electric car, which is the only car model currently on sale in HarmonyOS Zhixing, and it is also the first smart car model jointly selected by Chery and Huawei.

  It is reported that Zhijie S7 is equipped with Huawei’s technologies or functions such as Huawei ADS2.0 advanced intelligent driving system, a new generation of HUAWEI DriveONE power platform, Huawei Turing intelligent chassis, HUAWEI xMotion intelligent body collaborative control system, etc., and its "Chinese content" is extremely high.

  At this communication meeting, this model ushered in a "secondary listing". According to Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei BG and chairman of BU, a smart car solution, Zhijie S7 is equipped with a 192-line laser radar of the same model as Wenjie M9, with the longest detection range of 250m, which is 20% higher than the industry average.

  At the same time, the model is equipped with Huawei Whale 800V high-voltage battery platform and 800V high-voltage overcharge, with a power consumption as low as 12.4kWh per 100 kilometers, a long battery life of 855km, and an increase of 215km battery life after charging for 5 minutes.

  It is reported that Zhijie S7 offers a total of five models, with the price ranging from 249,800 yuan to 349,800 yuan. This price range is consistent with the initial listing of Zhijie S7. However, the new Zhijie S7 has launched a brand-new Ultra version, which uses a 100kWh battery pack, while the Max and Max+ versions have reduced the price by 20,000 yuan compared with the first listing.

  It is worth noting that, together with the new intelligent S7, there is the basic version of Huawei Visual Intelligent Driving HUAWEI ADS. This also means that Huawei has adopted a pure vision autopilot scheme for the first time, that is, it does not rely on lidar, thus lowering the threshold for intelligent driving.

  Yu Chengdong revealed that Huawei Visual Intelligent Driving HUAWEI ADS Basic Edition can realize NCA intelligent driving navigation assistance for national expressways and urban expressways, such as intelligent driving up and down ramps, encountering road construction, cone-barrel diversion and other scenes, and has certain ability to change lanes independently, avoid obstacles and bypass.

  In fact, Tesla, as a unique existence in the global automobile factory, has always adhered to the pure visual autopilot scheme. Tesla algorithm design is based on the first principle, with the help of BEV vision algorithm and grid network to realize the bird’s eye view of three-dimensional space, and integrates the time series characteristics, which greatly narrows the gap with the lidar scheme.

  At the same time, Tesla data terminal drives its own perception, decision-making and planning algorithm iteration with the help of huge active vehicles.

  Yu Chengdong revealed that compared with Tesla’s pure vision scheme, Huawei’s vision intelligent driving scheme has a coverage rate of 99.5%. This also means that Huawei has become the first intelligent driver in China to adopt a pure vision solution, which officially challenges Tesla’s FSD autopilot solution.

  Yin Tongyue appeared to talk about cooperation with Huawei.

  The second listing of Zhijie S7 is less than half a year away from the first listing. On November 9 last year, Zhijie S7 was listed for the first time, and by November 28, the booking volume had exceeded 20,000, which once caused market expectation.

  However, due to the rhythm of mass production, the delivery volume of this model was less than 1,000 units in the four months after its launch, and HarmonyOS Zhixing subsequently introduced the compensation scheme for delayed delivery of Zhijie S7 to maintain the order.

  However, a large number of scheduled owners of Zhijie S7 have also posted articles on social platforms complaining about the delivery problem, and the dissatisfaction has spread to the aspects that the delivery of vehicles is not in the fixed order, the NOA smart driving function in Huawei City is slow to open, and the delivered vehicles have workmanship defects. Even under the compensation scheme of Zhijie S7 in HarmonyOS Zhixing App, many users still expressed their dissatisfaction with the repeated delay in delivery.

  At the China Electric Vehicle committee of 100 Forum in March this year, Yu Chengdong responded for the first time. "Because the chips are out of stock and the factory relocation has delayed mass production and listing." Yu Chengdong said, "It is expected to return to normal in April."

  The delivery problem of the intellectual community has also caused the market to doubt the cooperation between Chery and Huawei.

  At this communication meeting, Yin Tongyue openly talked about the cooperation between the two sides. He said that in order to ensure the delivery of vehicles, Chery has set up a completely independent intellectual team business unit. "I communicate with Mr. Yu at least once a month (face to face), online every week, and even WeChat every day."

  "Huawei’s team is more meticulous than the Germans, and the pursuit of details is beyond our imagination." At the meeting, he paid tribute to Huawei. He bluntly said, "If China wants to build a good car, it cannot do without Huawei. If China wants to change from a big car country to a world power, it needs the blessing and empowerment of Huawei HarmonyOS system."

  As for the crystallization of both sides-intellectual S7, Yin Tongyue repeatedly mentioned "far beyond my imagination". He even laughed and said, "Chinese words are hard to describe, and the English word amazing is more suitable."

  Can the intellectual world "return to the furnace" reproduce the highlight moment?

  In fact, the "returning to the furnace" of Zhijie S7 model is also quite expected by the market, because the effect of "returning to the furnace" on the M7 is obvious to all.

  As early as 2022, the AITO series jointly built by Huawei and () became a "dark horse" in the new energy vehicle market in one fell swoop after the models were delivered one after another, with the highest monthly sales exceeding 12,000.

  However, the good times did not last long. Since November, 2022, the sales of M7 in the world have declined rapidly. Especially after April 2023, its monthly sales volume was continuously lower than 1,000 vehicles, and the lowest was only 432 vehicles. It was not until September 12th, 2023 that the sales volume was reversed with the launch of the new M7. Subsequently, the M7 model in the world was once on the verge of "out" and jumped into the industry "explosion" in a short time.

  This also made AITO become the champion of new forces for several months in a row, and Yu Chengdong called "coming back to life" afterwards. Yu Chengdong also revealed at the communication meeting that the M7 has delivered 174,000 vehicles so far, and the number of M9 models has reached 70,000.

  Nowadays, this technique is "copied" in the intellectual world S7, and whether it can work or not needs market test.

Success or failure all belong to LS6, and the smart car is mired in internal friction

On March 1, Zhiji Automobile officially announced that it had received a B round of financing of over 8 billion yuan, and said that it "provides strong financial reserves for the enterprise to deepen its intelligent strategy, build high-end intelligent driving, intelligent cabin and intelligent control technology advantages."

Earlier on February 25, the Zhiji L7 model ushered in a major replacement of 24 models, with the standard dual lidar + Orin X chip, with 299,900 yuan – 419,900 yuan product pricing.

When Zhiji Cars once again attracted the attention of the market, its sales performance took a sharp turn for the worse – the internal friction of old and new models seemed to be the biggest obstacle plaguing Zhiji’s progress.

As the "No. 1 project" of SAIC Motor Group, how to achieve a breakthrough in the qualitative vector of Zhiji Automobile has become an urgent problem to be solved.

1. The pain of SAIC’s own brand

In 1987, Shanghai announced that it would position the automobile industry as the city’s first pillar industry. At the same time, it also established the "Support Shanghai Volkswagen Construction Team" and the "Santana Localization Office" for the difficult SAIC-Volkswagen joint venture project. Even so, SAIC Volkswagen is still struggling.

The standoff between SAIC, which insists that Santana parts are made domestically, and Volkswagen, which has repeatedly claimed that SAIC parts are not up to standard, has resulted in slow progress in the joint venture project.

In order to clear the way for Santana, Shanghai brand cars were forced to stop production in November 1991, and the Shanghai automobile factory, which had independently provided localized parts for Santana, was also merged into the joint venture project of SAIC Volkswagen in January 1992. When Volkswagen saw the firm confidence shown by SAIC in the joint venture project, this eased the deadlock of SAIC Volkswagen and accelerated the localization process of the Santana project.

The Roewe Automobile brand established by the acquisition of Rover failed to gain market recognition. Therefore, the development of independent brands and independent technologies has always been a heart problem of SAIC Group.

With two joint ventures of Volkswagen and GM, SAIC created the glory of China’s largest automaker. At the same time, it also lost its own technology and its own brand in the carnival of sales and profits.

But the door of reform and opening up still needs to continue to be opened, and it has to be opened wider and wider. Therefore, this is the story of Tesla’s Gigafactory settling in Shanghai. After the introduction of Volkswagen and GM failed to achieve "market for technology", we can only hope for Tesla again.

When Tesla’s super factory was in full swing in Pudong New Area, the mysterious "No. 1 Project" known as SAIC Motor Group was officially launched in December 2020. This "L Project", which had been in the works for more than two years, finally appeared in the form of a smart car jointly formed by Alibaba and Zhangjiang Hi-Tech as initial investors.

In May 2022, SAIC Zhiji launched its first model, Zhiji L7, followed by two models, Zhiji LS7 and Zhiji LS6, and then launched a replacement product for Zhiji L7 in February 2024.

According to Dcar data, as of the end of 2023, the cumulative sales of Zhiji automobile brands in 2023 were only 38,300 units, with an average monthly sales of 3,187 units. Among them, Zhiji L7 sales were only 1305 units; Zhiji LS7 sales were about 14,100 units, and Zhiji LS6 sales were about 22,900 units delivered in only four months.

As the "pioneer" of SAIC’s electrification and intelligent transformation, SAIC Zhiji’s market performance does not seem to be satisfactory. If it is placed in the SAIC Motor Group’s annual sales of 5.02 million units, only 38,300 units of Zhiji cars are insignificant.

2. "Curl up" yourself

Compared with the overall poor market performance, the almost distorted sales trend of Zhiji brand’s models is even more surprising.

Dcar data shows that in January 2024, the Zhiji car brand sold about 5,001 units in a single month. Among them, Zhiji LS6 bicycles contributed 4,612 units, accounting for 92.22% of the total sales in the month. Zhiji LS7 sold only 388 units in a single month, accounting for about 7.76% of the total sales in the month. After four consecutive months of low single-digit sales, Zhiji L7 sold only one new car in January, accounting for as low as 0.02%.

It can be seen that the market performance of Zhiji LS6 will directly determine the future of the Zhiji brand.

But it is worth noting that the sales of the "not bad" Zhiji LS6 fell by 55.31% month-on-month in January 2024, directly halving. Although the Xiaopeng G6, a competing model of Zhiji LS6, also saw a significant decline, the Xiaopeng G9 and Xiaopeng P7 still have a certain sales base, and the X9 has achieved good market performance. Therefore, the decline in sales of the G6 single model has little impact on the entire brand of XPeng Motors.

And the Zhiji brand, which is highly dependent on the single model of Zhiji LS6, has cut sales by half, directly bringing the entire Zhiji brand into the downward spiral.

Of course, it is difficult to see the overall direction of a brand with one or two months of market performance. "Explorer Travel" has compiled the monthly sales volume since the start of delivery in June 2022 and found that Zhiji cars have experienced three market cycles:

From June 2022 to December 2022, with the mass production and delivery of Zhiji’s first model, L7, the monthly sales of Zhiji cars also rose from 203 units in June 2022 to 1,019 units in September 2022, and then fell back to 455 units in December 2022.

From December 2022 to July 2023, with the mass production and delivery of the second model, Zhiji LS7, the sales share of Zhiji L7 in the Zhiji brand fell from 100% to 1.44% in just three months. The launch of Zhiji LS7 also sent the monthly sales of Zhiji brand to 2,000 units.

3. From September 2023 to the present, with the mass production and delivery of Zhiji LS6, the monthly sales of Zhiji automobile brand hit a record high in December 2023, reaching a maximum of 10,400 units. Zhiji LS6 also contributed more than 90% of the sales for the Zhiji brand for four consecutive months.

The three stages of Zhiji Car coincide with the mass production and delivery of the three models. Although Zhiji’s overall sales are on the rise, the brand’s over-reliance on bicycles has become the biggest problem in Zhiji’s growth.

Zhiji’s over-reliance on a single model is like the "monkey breaks the corn" in the fairy tale – once a new car is launched, the old model is immediately abandoned.

Of course, it is also a good choice to make products according to the idea of creating a hit, such as Apple’s mobile phones and Tesla’s cars. They all win the attention of the market through the rapid explosion of single products, and use one or two models to occupy the entire market segment, thus reaching a height beyond the reach of their peers.

However, judging from the three models of Zhiji Auto, it seems that they are not taking the boutique route of Apple and Tesla. In just one and a half years, the three models have been mass-produced and delivered one after another. The "high overlap" of LS7 and LS6 directly denies the product strategy of "building a single product". The main reason why the new model is immediately eliminated as soon as the old model is delivered seems to be "own death".

This is most evident in the LS6.

3. Success or failure belongs to LS6

In October 2023, Zhiji’s third model, LS6, ushered in "delivery on the market", and the final price of 214,900 yuan – 276,900 yuan directly converted the 30,000 owners who were blind before the market into the first batch of owners of Zhiji LS6.

With the advantages of "200,000-level pricing", "quasi-900V silicon carbide platform", "standard lidar for all systems", and "standard Orin X high computing power SOC for all systems", Zhiji LS6 has become a dark horse in the pure electric market.

The "popularity" of the Zhiji LS6 even exceeded that of Xiaopeng’s new annual G6 model, which also pushed the Zhiji brand to a new historical height.

(Picture/Zhiji Car WeChat official account)

"Delivered on the market" and "Pricing far beyond expectations", it is clear that this new LS6 is ready to hit the explosion.

However, by 2024, it didn’t seem to be going well. Before the big sale of Huawei Smart Choice models, after the unexpected Kaesong of Xiaopeng Smart Driving, plus the smart driving models launched by Baidu and Geely, BYD also used the momentum to unlock its own "Eye of the Gods" smart driving system… Major car companies have revealed their own smart driving plans and practical tests.

The Zhiji LS6, which came standard with lidar and Orin X chips, did not seem to show any special advantages in this round of smart driving competition. What’s worse is that the large-scale "car and machine failure" of Zhiji LS6 at the end of December 2023 directly placed Zhiji in the whirlpool of "life and death".

In early 2024, a large number of LS6 owners complained of car system failures on major network media platforms. For example, the main interface does not display information such as speed and gear position, radar does not alarm, and streaming media rearview mirrors do not display. The collective appearance of various bugs has seriously affected the normal travel of car owners.

In this regard, Liu Tao, co-CEO of Zhiji Automobile, acknowledged and apologized on Weibo on January 3. "Recently, some vehicles have experienced the problem of missing display information and reversing prompt tone. On behalf of Zhiji Automobile, I would like to apologize to the users for the inconvenience and trouble caused to everyone."

Zhiji Auto made a timely solution to the bug and publicly apologized to users. Although the problem was solved quickly, this "low-level mistake" also brought a lot of pressure to the slightly improved Zhiji brand.

The most direct manifestation was that January’s sales halved month-on-month, ending a four-year streak of growth. Although January was the off-season, this "turning point" had to be suspected of being due to car buyers’ doubts about the Smart Own brand.

Perhaps in order to eliminate the buyer’s doubts about the failure of the car machine, perhaps in order to restore the downward trend in sales, or just for the Spring Festival promotion, Zhiji Auto opened a round (as of February 5) of price reduction at the end of January, and gave a cash discount of 12,000 yuan to Zhiji LS6 models listed for less than half a year.

(Picture/Zhiji Car WeChat official account)

Originally a "table" pricing, there has been a price reduction of 12,000 yuan, standard Lidar Zhiji LS6 will start price down to 217,900 yuan, but also forced Xiaopeng G6 starting price down to 199,900 yuan. At the same time, there is news that Zhiji LS6 is also about to usher in the 2024 update.

In less than half a year since the new car was released in September 2023, first the car and machine malfunctioned, then the overall price was reduced, and then the new one was released… The timely feedback from Zhiji Car in dealing with the problem is indeed worthy of recognition, but the excessive response measures seem to have confused the target owner.

Considering the impact of the Spring Festival and rain and snow in the past February, the sales performance of Zhiji cars may have to be "halved" again.

4. Conclusion

The over-reliance on a single model of the smart car has also brought the entire brand into the quagmire after the problems of the LS6.

Compared with the obvious decrease in the price of the new L7 model, the improvement of the L7 product power and market recognition after the replacement are more worthy of attention. After all, for the smart brand, the product power seems to be reflected only in the new car. And this time, in addition to the dual lidar, the city NOA commuting mode will be launched in the first quarter and the opening of 100 cities throughout the year, which is more worthy of everyone’s expectation.

At the same time, the Zhiji LS6, which is known as the "King of Smart Driving", does not seem to have seen much publicity in terms of smart driving. In contrast, Xiaopeng, the rural road smart driving in the world, can be driven from "Kaesong" to the whole country beyond expectations, the first CCO pure visual smart driving in China, and the unlocking of BYD’s "Eye of the Gods" smart driving… In the face of the direct competition of all smart driving models, it is the main intelligent, and the Zhiji LS6 with standard lidar has been unknown since its launch.

L7 urgently needs a new one, and Zhiji also urgently needs to hand over a satisfactory answer sheet.

Zhao Liying attends the Langfang premiere of the movie "Article 20": "As a person from Hebei, it is my duty to promote my hometown"

Zhao Liying attended the Langfang premiere of the movie "Article 20"

"As a native of Hebei, it is my duty to promote my hometown."

Hebei Daily News (Reporter Liu Jie) On February 10, the first day of the first lunar month, the Spring Festival realist comedy film "Article 20" directed by Zhang Yimou was released nationwide. That afternoon, Hebei actress Zhao Liying attended the premiere of the movie "Article 20" "I Love My Home Langfang" and said: "During the Chinese New Year, it is very happy and fulfilling to have a good work to give back to my hometown."

The title of the film "Article 20" is taken from Article 20 of the Criminal Law, focusing on the hotly debated law of legitimate defense. It tells the story of Han Ming and Lu Lingling, young prosecutors at the grassroots level, breaking through many obstacles, tracing back to the root cause to restore the truth of the case, and safeguarding the bottom line of fairness and justice. According to reports, as the first film in China to focus on "legitimate defense", the film cuts through the perspective of ordinary people in ordinary life, telling the process of rule of law under the torrent of the times. During the film’s more than two-hour screening, as the plot progressed, the audience laughed from time to time and was moved by the superb acting skills of the actors.

Zhao Liying plays the hearing-impaired mother Hao Xiuping in the film. In order to better interpret the role, she tries to speak as little as possible on the set in order to better immerse herself in the character’s emotions. "In addition to sign language learning, it is more important to grasp the inner emotions of the characters. How to express Hao Xiuping’s inner pain, helplessness and tenacity without lines is the most important thing for the character’s soul," Zhao Liying said.

Langfang was the filming location for the movie "Article 20." "This movie was filmed in my hometown, and it really brought me back to the place where my dream began," Zhao Liying said. This feeling is very warm. "When filming, every scene will evoke their childhood memories. I believe that people in my hometown will feel very close when they see these scenes appear in the movie."

At the premiere, Zhao Liying shared the story behind the filming of the film and interacted with fellow villagers in Langfang. In her eyes, Yan Zhaodi is poetic and low-key, with both profound cultural heritage and enthusiasm and heroic spirit. "As a native of Hebei, it is my duty to promote my hometown, and I will definitely do my best," Zhao Liying said in an interview with reporters.

Jackie Chan Vs Active Volcano "Zodiac" Box Office No Suspense Break 300 million


Jackie Chan’s life is unstoppable


Big brother laughs at active volcanoes


Big brother shoots seriously by the volcano


Big brother was injured while filming by the volcano

    December 20th by Jackie Chan Pictures, Huayi Brothers, Emperor Film co-produced since the release of the hot start, continued to force unstoppable, the first weekend box office exceeded 200 million yuan mark, released 4 days of cumulative box office 214 million yuan, at the same time as the "international production" of the "Zodiac" in South East Asia since the simultaneous release, the box office all the way red, as of now, Singapore 4 days won 1.30 million dollars – only by the first weekend box office on the top of the annual Chinese film champion, Malaysia 4 days received 1.50 million dollars for the local Chinese film of the year, Thailand 4 days received 500,000 dollars, four days box office has won the local Chinese film box office crown. The arrival of the extremely cold winter in 2012 did not affect the popularity of the New Year’s Eve file. "Zodiac" Christmas has no suspense blowout, morale is like a rainbow, and the total box office has broken through the 300 million mark, making fans cheer "Big Brother V5!"
 
Pure men fight active volcanoes, Jackie Chan: "If you want to play, play for real!"

    Jackie Chan, the "filmmaker who performed the most stunts" – the Guinness World Record holder, achieved another peak of fighting in the "Zodiac", jumping down an active volcano from mid-air in person, and the footage of the big brother rolling from the top of the volcano to the foot of the mountain has attracted great attention from the majority of movie fans, who have left messages asking "if he is injured", or expressing the emotion of "big brother is distressing". Some film critics have commented on the plot of the big brother jumping into the volcano, "When JC rolled down from a mountain wall several hundred meters high, his neck was twisted, his feet were dislocated, his face was covered in scars, his eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were blurred, his knees trembled slightly and fell to the ground, but he still persistently searched for the shadow of the bronze head with all his strength. This is an extraordinary interpretation of the fighting spirit that is increasingly scarce in the Chinese film industry, and it is also the best reveal of Jackie Chan’s decades of glory: He knows what the audience wants, and he always gives them more. Even the opponent can’t help but praise: you are really a pure man ". On the 25th, the producer Fang Huayi Brothers released" The Second Story of Fighting for Life ", explaining in detail how pure men can single out an active volcano and risk their lives to challenge the limit of physical fitness.

    In order to truly show the scene of Jackie Chan’s role as Rogue JC falling from the sky into an active volcano, the "Zodiac" crew used a high-pressure catapult. The high-pressure catapult is erected on the mountainside of Vanuatu’s active volcano, and Jackie Chan will be catapulted into the air by the high-pressure catapult and then fall on the hillside. At the beginning of shooting this scene, the staff did not adjust the pressure of the high-pressure catapult to the maximum for safety reasons, but after seeing the shooting effect, in order to more realistically show the effect of falling, the big brother insisted that the pressure of the catapult be adjusted to the maximum. After the pressure of the high-pressure catapult was adjusted to the maximum, Jackie Chan was ejected more than 3 meters high, and the speed of the eldest brother’s body in the air was much faster than the previous few times. After landing, he quickly rolled out of the area protected by the sponge pad and fell heavily on the slopes of the active volcano covered with volcanic rocks and ash. Due to the steep slope of the volcano and the excessive impact force, the eldest brother rolled more than ten meters away on the slopes of the active volcano and could not stop. Fortunately, the staff quickly came to pull him, and the eldest brother held on. The filming effect was extremely realistic. The members of the "Cheng Family Class" who had followed the eldest brother for many years on the scene could not help but applaud the eldest brother. Seeing that the effect was up to standard, Jackie Chan sat down to rest with a sigh of relief. While cleaning up the sand and stone chips in his shoes, he told the staff that his left shoulder might be injured. Before he finished speaking, he only heard a "boom" sound from the crater behind him. The big brother got up and turned around in shock, and a strong airflow blew. It turned out that the active volcano under his feet had just erupted again, and the bold and humorous big brother shouted to the volcano with a smile, "Don’t be angry!"

    Seeing the volcano "quiet" a little bit, the big brother remembered his shoulder again: "The slope of the hill is too big, and the force of the catapult is too large. The weight of my whole body is pressed on my left shoulder, and my shoulder will definitely not be able to take it. I know I am injured, and I may not be able to move tomorrow." The medical staff handed the bandage to the big brother, and the big brother who had been injured for a long time skillfully hung his left hand on his neck with a bandage, and joked: "There are a few short tremors in the ground today, and the whole ground is shaking. I said, will it be a’clang ‘explosion while I’m filming? I just thought that if the big explosion goes anywhere, I will study with them (the staff), and they will say, "Well, don’t go anywhere, save some effort, and wait for death."

    In an interview afterward, Big Brother said: "When I’m filming, I want to shoot people’s real reactions in the situation in the play. In many Hollywood movies, whether it’s a shot or an explosion, I just pull a blue screen and act it casually. That kind of performance is actually difficult to be real. So when I’m filming, I want to play it and play it for real, and I want to try my best to experience it firsthand in order to shoot the most realistic effect. If you want to shoot a volcano, you have to come to the volcano to shoot, and if you want to shoot a volcano, you have to really fall."

    "Zodiac" Jackie Chan risked his life to give it a go, laughing and making you laugh.

Are highly educated front-line workers a waste of academic qualifications? What does delivery have to do with academic qualifications?

  "Fate has knocked me down, but it can never defeat me. So what about you, young man, are you going to stop here?" The text is from a short video posted by Mo Mingyong, a doctoral student at Tsinghua University. In the video, Mo Mingyong, wearing a takeaway suit and holding a student ID, stands at the gate of Qinghua Garden, his face brimming with youth.

  After the video was released, it received more than 1.85 million of likes in a short period of time. Some netizens praised him for using his actions to interpret "self-improvement and good virtue". However, some people accused him of earning traffic in sad-fishing.

  Mo Mingyong had to respond to this, and a period of ups and downs in his life was revealed. It turned out that the delivery of food took place before he was admitted to the doctorate. Due to the millions of yuan in debt after the failure of his business, Mo Mingyong registered as a delivery rider at the end of 2021 to collect tuition fees and ease financial difficulties.

  "It wasn’t the people from Tsinghua who went to deliver food, but the people who delivered food went to Tsinghua." As Mo Mingyong repeatedly emphasized, the focus of this story should be why he delivered food, not the label of academic qualifications. Most people didn’t have time to understand the truth, and based on the combination of "academic qualifications + takeaway", they sensitively questioned or even accused him of wasting academic qualifications and making a sad-fishing show. This is not a distinction between three, six and nine in their hearts.

  In fact, Mo Mingyong not only has a PhD from Tsinghua University, but also graduated from the London School of Economics. During difficult times, he not only delivered food, but also sold English classes online.

  It should be seen that food delivery is a way for this young man who failed to start a business to get through the low point of life. When encountering difficulties, he was not discouraged or evaded. With his ability and perseverance, he tried his best to fulfill the contract and repay the debt, but still did not give up improving his education. What shines in this story is Mo Mingyong’s inspirational attitude towards life.

  This attitude is not uncommon among young people.

  Zhengzhou, Henan, 26-year-old Gao Shuaiqi encountered his family’s illness during the postgraduate entrance examination. In order to support his family’s burden and his own dreams, he reviewed while delivering takeout, and finally received the postgraduate admission letter; Lishui, Zhejiang, 18-year-old girl Xu Zhuoyu took the part-time delivery after the college entrance examination. She realized the hard work of making money, and bluntly said that she had become "stingy" when she became black…

  For the protagonists in these "education + takeaway" stories, in addition to earning financial income, takeaway delivery also has more personal color: some people use it as a spiritual support, some use it as a "life-saving straw", and some use it as a labor experience… Their goals and starting points may be different, but it should be noted that this does not mean that they have no other options, let alone that they are wasting their academic qualifications in this position.

  Delivering food is nothing more than a job. To be able to do this job well, to be recognized by others, and to experience the happiness and solidity brought by labor, is it not a kind of harvest? Even if you switch to other industries in the future, is the past experience not a kind of precipitation of life and spiritual nourishment? In this sense, education is not a limiting shackle or a dazzling label, but a key to help them open their horizons and experience life.

  Those who blame highly educated front-line workers for wasting their academic qualifications and making a sad-fishing show can rest easy.

Zhang Xuhao held a "pit" for four years.

Original liuyong juchao WAVE

Text | liuyong

Editor | Yang Xuran

One day in December 2021, Zhang Xuhao released a circle of friends:

"Our aim is that 2680 yuan must be used in playgolf for everyone to learn golf. In fact, this movement is very simple and very civilian, and it cannot be demonized by past thinking. "

Only then did people find out what Zhang Xuhao had been doing quietly in recent years.

Back in April 2018, he sold "Hungry" to Alibaba for $9.5 billion, and then fell into silence-perhaps this silence is just an external manifestation of enjoying life.

In fact, people found that after he left hungry, he registered several companies soon: in March 2018, he registered Shanghai Puguan Business Consulting Partnership (Limited Partnership) and set foot in the consulting field, but at present it shows that it has been cancelled; In April of the same year, Shanghai Yuduo Business Consulting Co., Ltd. was registered with a registered capital of 5 million yuan.

Since then, he has taken a stake in Shanghai Yangwan Network Technology, which is a blockchain company mainly established by technical backbones who have been working hard with Zhang Xuhao for many years, but there is no following after 2020.

Besides, he once worked as an investment partner in Yuanjing Capital, an Ali-based capital company. But this is not the career he wants.

Until now, Zhang Xuhao, with a fiery personality and a strong desire to win, finally returned to the battlefield with another attitude. It’s just that few people can imagine that his eye will be on golf-it’s hard to be called an excellent track, so that to many people, his second venture is a bit like a ticket game, even a bit like into the pit.

01

Expensive consumption

A veritable "minority movement"

"Golf is actually not difficult. The small white group only needs 10 classes, which is only 2680 …"

Just like the low-price strategy adopted when he was hungry, Zhang Xuhao still wants to stick to the low-price model this time. He believes in the development potential of China’s sports industry, and thinks that it is not necessary to imagine golf as unattainable. "Golf is actually very simple".

The origin of golf in China happened to be the same year that Zhang Xuhao was born. At that time, for the purpose of providing leisure and entertainment for foreign businessmen, golf courses first appeared in cities where foreign companies gathered, such as Guangzhou and Shanghai. In other words, it is aimed at high-income business people from the beginning.

Golf courses usually serve urban business people.

In the actual stadium operation, from design to maintenance and operation, it also shows that this is a veritable "minority" movement.

Head leopard research institute has calculated such an account:

First of all, the design of golf courses is very professional, but there is a serious shortage of talents in this respect in China, so it is usually necessary to hire foreign designers. Generally, the design cost of an 18-hole standard course is as high as 500 thousand to 2 million dollars, and the design price of celebrities is higher. For example, the design cost of two courses designed by professional golfer Tiger Woods under the name of Beijing Tianan Holiday Golf Club is as high as $16.5 million;

Secondly, the investment in fixed assets and daily maintenance of golf courses are "burning money". Golf courses must occupy a lot of land. The standard 18-hole course is usually about 750 to 1500 mu, and the cost of land acquisition accounts for 70% of the total fixed assets cost. The remaining 30% is spent on paving lawns and importing some professional maintenance equipment such as punching machines and lawn mowers.

At the same time, lawn maintenance also needs a lot of water. According to the report, its average water consumption is 46 times that of cereal crops of the same area, and the daily water consumption of standard courses is as high as 2,000 to 2,500 tons, which is a huge burden for cities with high water consumption costs.

Therefore, the tax authorities in China set the business tax of golf and other industries at 20%, and some areas also levy high water resource use fees on water used in special places such as golf courses, which will inevitably further push up its operating costs.

The agency estimates that it usually takes 14 years for a standard golf course to recover the cost of fixed assets.

The high fixed cost of golf courses has created high prices.

All this is bound to be passed on to consumers without exception. At present, golf in China is basically a private venue, with a membership system, and the individual price is higher. Generally speaking, the price of a membership card is in the range of more than 100,000 to hundreds of thousands or even millions of RMB, and the individual plays a game in the range of two or three thousand yuan.

PLAYGOLF CLUB tries to break such a high-priced convention-the exquisite 20-seat private room of 50 square meters distinguishes the prices of visitors and members. The price of two-hour leisure package visitors is 1040 (weekdays) and 1280 yuan (holidays), and the member is 1000 yuan; The exclusive package for 4 hours (including one extra hour) costs 1560 yuan (weekdays) and 1920 yuan (holidays) for visitors and 1500 yuan for members.

In addition, the training course for "Xiaobai" is 2680 yuan for 10 classes.

Compared with other professional courses, the price offered by Zhang Xuhao is not much different from that of a bowling or tennis game, and it is really very close to the people, which may attract a group of urban middle class. However, the question is whether there are enough consumers, and whether it can help Zhang Xuhao cover all costs and even profits by taking the volume.

Desolate battlefield

Golf has neither a huge mass base nor a future.

Zhang Xuhao has a lasting enthusiasm for sports, and his habit of playing basketball continued until he was hungry.

Obviously, golf has become his latest hobby. He once said that the balance required by golf is his pursuit, and he also tried to turn this hobby into his next career. In order to promote the project, he spent 150 million yuan to renovate Huangxing Golf Course, which may be the biggest investment since he was hungry after selling it.

However, the golf course in China has never been seen in sturm und drang. According to the statistics of Huajing Industrial Research Institute, the size of China’s golf market in 2020 is only about 10.26 billion yuan, up 4.37% year-on-year-which is already a good year for this sport in recent years.

However, this figure is still in sharp contrast with the rapid growth of economy and residents’ consumption expenditure in the past years: in 2021, the per capita consumption expenditure of residents actually increased by 12.6%, reaching 24,100 yuan, of which the expenditure on culture and education increased rapidly, with the per capita consumption expenditure on education, culture and entertainment increasing by 27.9%, accounting for 10.8% of the per capita consumption expenditure.

The ugly data indicates that golf has neither a huge mass base nor a bright future.

Golf is a typical foreign product.

As early as 1997, the State Council issued the "Notice on Further Strengthening Land Management and Effectively Protecting Cultivated Land", which laid the policy tone for strict examination and approval of new golf courses. Until 2003, the then Ministry of Land and Resources regarded the golf project as a local "image project" and demanded that "no land should be submitted for approval".

Since then, this policy has been reiterated again and again. By 2014, the phenomenon of official corruption involving high consumption of golf balls was extremely common, which even stimulated the official to check and rectify the industry.

"Corruption in playing golf illegally" once became a high-frequency word. For example, Bai Enpei, the former secretary of Yunnan Provincial Party Committee, was exposed to play golf three times a week and usually played with businessmen. "Playing golf is gambling. If any developer wants to send money to him, then play golf, deliberately lose to him, and bribe in disguise …"

The National Development and Reform Commission and other 11 departments jointly requested to sort out the existing golf courses, of which more than 100 closed down and only 400 remained.

It’s hard to say whether Zhang Xuhao was influenced by his hobbies.

This situation did not basically end until 2016. In the following six years until today, golf has been officially restored as a sport, but in all sports industries, it still hides in a dark corner and becomes synonymous with corruption and luxury. It is divorced from most people’s lives, floating in the air like clouds, but it is not white and beautiful.

start a new undertaking

The "phantom of the policy" has never subsided.

Unlike the hungry from scratch that catered to the rise of takeout and the popularity of smart phones, Zhang Xuhao now faces a completely different reality.

As mentioned above, the fate of golf seems to have ushered in a turning point after 2016, and the outside world is optimistic about the future development prospects. But in fact, the "phantom of the policy" has never subsided, and the construction of new golf courses is still banned.

Even PLAYGOLF is not a new project. It is just that Zhang Xuhao has integrated several golf clubs that were originally subcontracted by Huangxing Sports Park and re-opened them in the name of golf training ground after spending 150 million yuan to rebuild them. Even today, some public opinion still thinks that Zhang Xuhao has played a policy "edge ball".

PLAYGOLF project integrates several clubs in Shanghai.

In fact, the scale of golf industry in China has been hovering at a low level in recent years, which not only has the influence of past policies, but also has the factors of weak consumption.

Statistics show that the number of golf facilities in China in 2019 was 380, down 1.3% year-on-year; The number of golf holes in China is 8,360, down 5.5% year-on-year. Of course, the golf market in China will still grow by 4.4% in 2020, but the main reason may be the investment in youth training supported by the state.

When Zhang Xuhao aimed at the middle-income group of 400 million in the future, it probably didn’t consider the possibility that the situation of this group would deteriorate. Although the total economic output of China has successively exceeded the scale of 100 trillion yuan and 110 trillion yuan, the economic growth rate has rapidly dropped from "9" to "5" in the past 10 years. It is extremely doubtful whether the high-speed growth of first-tier cities with concentrated golf courses such as Beijing and Shanghai will be more unsustainable due to economic restructuring and other reasons.

As a result, the general social anxiety leads to weak consumption, which has become one of the main economic problems facing China at present. From the actual situation since 2020, the urban middle class is becoming increasingly cautious in consumption, and it is doubtful whether experiencing golf will become a part of their consumption list.

Zhang Xuhao is the biggest entrepreneur in the history of golf industry.

What’s more, the short-term impact of the epidemic is like a house leak that rains all night.

Established in 2020 and after more than 300 days and nights of renovation, when PLAYGOLF CLUB announced its "return" in March 2021, the COVID-19 epidemic was still not over. In fact, in the past year or so, PLAYGOLF CLUB has been repeatedly closed for business-of course, there are also reasons for renovation and maintenance.

On April 25th, it said in an article on the official website "When the Pause button was pressed in Shanghai" that it was the 25th day that it was impossible to practice in PLAYGOLF CLUB …

Going against the current at this historical node, the resistance that Zhang Xuhao faced in his new career can be imagined.

In those days, when he was hungry, Zhang Xuhao cashed in billions of huge wealth, and in a few years, he walked the road of many entrepreneurs all his life. This is his success. But I’m afraid the money was not burned casually.

Write it at the end

Most successful entrepreneurs can’t copy their own legends. How many people succeeded in digging up the first bucket of gold in life, but they only stopped at the first bucket of gold.

For example, in the internet field, in the past, there were not a few people who sold their companies and gained huge wealth in the internet field, and there were not a few entrepreneurs who rejoined the business world, but there were almost no winners again.

For Zhang Xuhao, Hungry’s entrepreneurial experience is full of legend, and he has gained the wealth and success that countless people hope to achieve. As a post-80s rich man in the sunshine, we hope his experience can inspire more people. I hope that his golf popularization route is only a temporary misfortune, just like the early days of the take-away market, which is "mistaken" by more people.
