  "What factors do you think a livable city should include in terms of ecological environment?" This is a topic in the questionnaire survey of "China Modern Ecological Development Index". The survey results of "2023 China Modern Ecological Development Index" show that "fresh air" ranks first among the eight elements of an ecologically livable city in the eyes of Chinese people, and nearly 90% of the respondents chose this option.

  However, reality often makes people feel helpless. Because, the dust is coming again!

  From May 18 to 20, a new round of sand blowing or floating dust was ushered in parts of eastern and southern Xinjiang, central and western Inner Mongolia, northern Gansu, northern Ningxia, northwestern Shaanxi, northwestern Shanxi and northwestern Hebei, and even sandstorms appeared in central Inner Mongolia. It is reported that at 16: 43 on May 18, a strong sandstorm occurred at Saiwusu Airport in Erenhot, Inner Mongolia, with an instantaneous wind speed of 27 m/s and visibility of only 150 m. The rolling yellow sand was like a giant "sand wall".

  According to the three major action plans for air pollution control, the goal of basically eliminating heavy pollution days nationwide in 2025 is to control it within 1%, including eliminating such dusty weather. Dust is a common meteorological disaster. Because of the existence of natural desert, sandstorm, as a natural process and phenomenon, is difficult to be eliminated, but desertification land management can effectively reduce the frequency and intensity of sandstorm. Since the beginning of this century, China has implemented a series of ecological restoration projects. The results of the sixth national survey on desertification and desertification show that for the first time, China has achieved a "double reversal" of desertification and desertified land in all provinces surveyed, with a continuous "double reduction" in area and a continuous "double reduction" in degree, and a continuous "double improvement" in vegetation coverage and carbon sequestration capacity of deserts and sandy land. However, desertification control in China still has a long way to go. As of 2019, the area of desertification land in China is 2,573,700 square kilometers, accounting for 26.81% of the country’s land area; Desertification land covers an area of 1,687,800 square kilometers, accounting for 17.58% of the national territory; The land area with obvious desertification trend is 279,200 square kilometers, accounting for 2.91% of the national territory. According to official data, the cumulative number of dust storms from January to May is 11.9 times all the year round, but it is obviously higher this year, reaching 14 times as of May 20th.

  The frequent occurrence of dust and sand once again sounded the alarm of ecological security for people.

  Compared with air quality, water pollution is more worrying.

  From April to May, 2023, Xiaokang magazine, in conjunction with the National Information Center, and together with relevant experts and institutions, conducted a survey on "2023 China Modern Ecological Development Index". "China Modern Ecological Development Index" was born out of "China Ecological Well-off Index", followed the objective situation and development trend of the times, and was updated and perfected. It was mainly measured from five aspects: the public’s evaluation of the surrounding environment, the evaluation of China’s ecological environmental protection policies, laws and regulations, the recognition of government investment, implementation and efficiency in environmental protection, the self-evaluation of environmental awareness and participation, and the expectation of ecological environmental protection prospects.

  After weighting the survey results and the statistical monitoring data of relevant state departments, it is concluded that the modern ecological development index of China in 2023 is 72.1 points, 2.0 points higher than the previous year. Among them, the evaluation of the surrounding environment, the evaluation of China’s eco-environmental protection policies, laws and regulations, the recognition of government investment, implementation and efficiency in environmental protection, and the self-evaluation of environmental awareness and participation are 68.7 points, 73.0 points, 71.2 points, 71.4 points and 83.6 points, respectively, which are 1.8 points, 1.7 points, 1.8 points and 83.6 points higher than the previous year.

  Strengthening the prevention and control of air pollution is the common aspiration of the whole society. With the implementation of the Air Pollution Prevention Action Plan and the Three-year Action Plan to Win the Blue Sky Defence War, China’s air quality has been greatly improved since 2013. In the past ten years, China’s GDP has increased by 69%, the concentration of PM2.5 has decreased by 57%, achieving ten consecutive declines, the number of days of heavy pollution has decreased by 92%, and the concentration of sulfur dioxide has dropped to single digits; The national emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides dropped from more than 20 million tons to about 3 million tons and 9 million tons, respectively, down by 85% and 60%.

  However, as Liu Bingjiang, director of the Atmospheric Environment Department of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said at the regular press conference held by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment in March, "the improvement effect is still not stable." Especially this year, with the comprehensive recovery of economic and social activities, the increase of emissions, and the impact of climate change, the air quality situation is not optimistic. Not only have there been 14 rounds of large-scale dusty weather, but ozone pollution has also appeared in Jinan and Zhengzhou.

  This is also reflected in the "2023 China Modern Ecological Development Index" survey. Facing "What do you think of the air quality in your city?" On this issue, 51.4% of the respondents thought it was "relatively good" and 12.5% of the respondents bluntly said it was "very good", making a total of 63.9%, a decrease of 0.1 percentage point over the previous year. Respondents who thought it was "relatively poor" accounted for 10.8%, and those who bluntly said it was "very poor" accounted for 1.4%, making a total of 12.2%, a decrease of 2.0 percentage points over the previous year. In addition, 23.9% of the respondents rated it as "average", an increase of 2.1 percentage points over the previous year.

  However, water pollution and soil pollution are more worrying than air pollution. In this year’s "List of Pollution Types that Seriously Threaten the Public", "Water Pollution" topped the list, and 47.3% of the respondents said that they were being threatened by water pollution. "Soil pollution" surpassed "air pollution" for the first time, ranking second, with a vote rate of 30.8%.

  Water is the source of life and the starting point of ecological civilization construction. The survey results of "2023 China Modern Ecological Development Index" show that 59.3% of the respondents rated the water quality of daily water (tap water, accumulated water, etc.) as "average", 13.4% as "poor", 2.6% as "very poor", and only 24.7% of the respondents gave a positive evaluation, less than a quarter. However, the evaluation of the natural water bodies (streams, rivers, lakes and seas) in the city is not optimistic, with less than 20% respondents giving positive comments, 26.5% respondents thinking that they are "poor" and "very poor", and 54.7% respondents evaluating them as "average".

  In fact, in the first half of this year, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment also said in response to a reporter’s question that China’s water ecological environment protection has undergone a major turning point, but the structural, root and trend pressures faced by water ecological environment protection have not been fundamentally alleviated, the imbalance and uncoordinated improvement of water environmental quality is prominent, the ecological water supply for rivers and lakes is insufficient, the water ecological damage is prominent, and the water ecological environment risk is still high, which is still far from the requirements of beautiful China construction.

  Seven difficult problems of environmental governance, strengthening supervision and consolidating responsibility

  Continuing the convention, the "2023 China Modern Ecological Development Index" survey asked the respondents to select seven difficult problems in China’s environmental governance work again. The first one is "enterprises only care about their own economic interests and lack social responsibility" (36.0%), the second one is "local governments are driven by interests and lack of implementation" (31.3%), and the third one is "public environmental awareness is insufficient". The fourth to seventh places are "China’s industrial structure is unreasonable, and the proportion of heavy industrial enterprises with high energy consumption is too large" (24.6%), "lack of relevant laws and regulations" (21.9%), "the development idea of" pollution first, then treatment "still exists" (18.3%) and "limited power of environmental protection departments" (5.2%).

  It can be seen that it is still an important task for China to realize the modernization of national governance system and governance capacity to accelerate the construction of a modern environmental governance system with the leadership of party committees, government-led, enterprise subjects, social organizations and the public participating together.

  At the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023, an 11-day New Year’s haze occurred in China, concentrated in Shaanxi and Henan. The Ministry of Ecology and Environment launched an emergency plan for heavy pollution, but the effect was not satisfactory. In order to find out, Huang Runqiu, Minister of Ecology and Environment, and Zhao Yingmin, Vice Minister of Ecology and Environment, went to 13 enterprises in Henan and Shaanxi to carry out inspections in the way of "four noes and two straights" from February 20 to 22, and found that there were a lot of outstanding environmental violations such as abnormal operation of pollution control facilities, illegal discharge, fraudulent production accounts, online monitoring and manual monitoring.

  Frequent corporate environmental violations have fully exposed the shortcomings and weaknesses in China’s current environmental governance. First, some enterprises ignore the law and break through the bottom line. Second, in some places, the determination to tackle pollution is insufficient and the tenacity is insufficient. Third, the ecological environment supervision in some places is superficial and weak.

  Only by implementing the strictest system and the strictest rule of law can we provide a reliable guarantee for the construction of ecological civilization. A few days ago, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment completed the revision of the original Measures for Environmental Administrative Punishment, and issued the newly revised Measures for Ecological Environmental Administrative Punishment, making adjustments in the types of punishment, time limit, authority, procedures and law enforcement methods, responding to new changes in the reform process and new problems that need to be solved urgently in local areas, and ensuring that the law enforcement team of ecological environment strictly regulates and carries out law enforcement activities according to law.

  In addition, the red line system of ecological protection is an important institutional innovation of ecological environmental protection in China, which provides a brand-new ecological protection model. The latest news shows that at present, the national ecological protection red line has been delineated and released. The following question is how to protect, use and implement the red line of ecological protection.

  Keeping the red line of ecological protection and building an ecological security barrier need to be implemented steadily from multiple angles, and arousing public awareness of environmental protection is one of the important tasks. The survey of "2023 China Modern Ecological Development Index" shows that the public’s awareness of environmental protection needs to be further improved, and 75% of the respondents are willing to change their lifestyles that are contrary to environmental protection for environmental protection, which is 11.9 percentage points lower than the previous year.

Google was sentenced to monopoly and may face these five penalties.

The U.S. district federal court recently sentenced Google, saying that it monopolized the search and advertising markets and violated the U.S. antitrust law.

Judge Amit P. Mehta said in his ruling that "Google is a monopolist" and said that these actions of Google violated Article 2 of the Sherman Act: it is forbidden for anyone to "monopolize, attempt to monopolize or collude with others to monopolize any part of any trade or business".

Judge Mehta pointed out in a 277-page ruling that Google almost controls 90% of the online search market and 95% of the smartphone market. There are also details of the agreement between Google and those browser developers and mobile device manufacturers, such as how to divide and pre-install Google search as the default engine. Google used these agreements to squeeze the market share of competitors, and the incentives for innovation and investment decreased, and the advertising fees also went up.

At present, it is only a preliminary judgment, which only involves the issue of corporate responsibility and does not involve specific punishment measures. The next decision may require it to stop some business activities, and may even split its search business. In addition, Google is also facing another federal antitrust case about advertising technology, which is expected to be heard in September.

Kent Walker, president of Google’s global affairs, said that he would appeal the ruling. He stressed that Google can dominate because it has built a best and most practical search engine, which is good for consumers and advertisers.

Some people have commented that this is one of the most important antitrust cases in this century, and it is also the beginning of a series of cases to be filed against large technology companies, which may profoundly change the business operation mode of Internet technology giants. This case may have an impact on other countries’ antitrust lawsuits against Google, Apple, Amazon and Meta (the parent companies of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp).

The last anti-monopoly ruling with such great influence dates back to more than 20 years ago, when the protagonist was Microsoft.

Complete award: https://assets.bwbx.io/documents/users/iqjhwhbfdfxiu/rz1ull.0yqbo/v0.

First, the great victory of the Ministry of Justice, Apple Meta Amazon is also taking a lawsuit.

This ruling is a great victory for the US Department of Justice, because they have been accusing Google of illegal monopoly in the Internet search market.

In 2020, the US Department of Justice and some states took Google to court, accusing it of illegally consolidating its market position and crowding out potential competitors such as Bing and DuckDuckGo by paying huge sums of money to companies such as Apple and Samsung to make Google search the default option on mobile phones and browsers.

"These agreements have given Google an unmatched scale for more than a decade," Judge Mehta wrote.

In September 2023, the case was officially launched in court. Judge Mehta agreed with a part of the view in the lawsuit of the Ministry of Justice: Google did monopolize the "general search service" and "general search text ads". That is to say, through exclusive distribution agreement in the American market, the market monopoly position of general search service and general text advertisement has been established.

Google does invest huge sums of money in browsers such as Apple’s Safari and Mozilla’s Firefox every year to ensure that it can become the default search engine. In 2021, in order to maintain the default status of their search engines, Google paid Apple about $18 billion, and signed similar agreements with Mozilla and Samsung. It also makes the default status of some apps a condition for Android phones to access the Play Store. In addition, an expert witness of Google inadvertently revealed that Google and Apple shared 36% of Safari search advertising revenue.

Kent Walker, president of Google’s global affairs, said that he would appeal this ruling. He said: "Although the court’s ruling recognizes that our search engine is the best, the conclusion seems to mean that we should not let everyone use it so easily. In the process of continuing our appeal, we will still focus on making things that everyone finds useful and convenient to use. "

The CEO of DuckDuckGo stood up against Google in the trial. He supported the ruling, but he also knew that the struggle was far from over. In a statement, SVP Kamyl Bazbaz, who is in charge of public affairs at DuckDuckGo, said, "As we have seen in the EU and other regions, Google will try its best not to change. However, we know that there is a strong demand for alternative search engines in the market, and this ruling will help us provide more choices. "

During the trial, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella expressed his concern about Google’s dominant position in the market. He believed that the relationship between Google and Apple had formed a "Google network", a situation close to "oligopoly". If Google continues to develop without hindrance, it is likely to dominate AI.

This is the first ruling in a series of science and technology monopoly cases filed by the US government in recent years. Legal scholars predict that this ruling will affect the government’s anti-monopoly litigation against other technology giants.

It has been twenty years since the anti-monopoly lawsuit of the Ministry of Justice against Microsoft in 2001 and the next anti-monopoly case against Google.(The Google case was filed in 2020). Since 2020, more similar cases have appeared soon.

At present, Amazon, Apple and Meta are all facing monopoly lawsuits filed by the US government. The Justice Department has sued Apple, accusing it of making it difficult for consumers to give up the iPhone. The FTC sued Meta, arguing that Meta suppressed emerging competitors, and also sued Amazon, accusing them of squeezing sellers in the online market.

Second, if you lose the case, Google may face five penalties.

In the United States, the default search engine for every new mobile phone is almost Google. For users, Monday’s ruling on Google may mean that Google will no longer be the ubiquitous boss in the future.

At present, Judge Mehta needs to make a further ruling on how to deal with Google. He has arranged a hearing in September and will discuss specific punishment measures then.

Next, he may order a major adjustment to the default settings of the new device, requiring users to choose their own default search engine before the first search, and may also ask Google to sell some of its services.

However, because Google has appealed this judgment, the whole legal process may be delayed for many years, and may even never be implemented.

Here are five possible punishments proposed by professionals.

1. It is forbidden for Google to continue to sign exclusive distribution agreements with large companies.

There are three main ways for American courts to solve the monopoly problem: ordering the end of illegal acts, making rules to prevent them from happening again, and taking any necessary additional measures.

In order to meet the first requirement, the most common prediction is that Mehta will prohibit Google from continuing to sign agreements on default engines with companies such as Apple, Samsung and Mozilla.

"At the very least, the Ministry of Justice will ask for an injunction prohibiting Google from engaging in acts that the court considers inappropriate." William Kovacic said that he was a member of the antitrust regulator of the US Federal Trade Commission.

Location is very important. Mehta’s ruling found that even if users can easily change the default settings, most people will not change them.

But some people do prefer Google. Bing is the default search engine for some Microsoft devices, which is why "Google.com" is the most popular search term on Bing.

In the future, users who like to use Google may have to search for "Google.com" in other search engines.

2. Remind users to change Google more frequently.

Mehta can follow the example of the EU. The European Union has been asking Google to provide search engine options on Android devices for years, and recently extended this rule to Chrome browsers.

This regulation in Europe has not made Google’s substitutes popular, because users still recognize Google more than users. The horse has gone out of the stable, but one problem with free choice is that it may not reduce Google’s market share. Herbert Hovenkamp, an antitrust scholar at the University of Pennsylvania, said.

However, if Mehta takes this approach, he should further improve the EU rules, said SVP Kamyl Bazbaz of DuckDuckGo’s public affairs department. Users should see the prompt to choose a search engine regularly, not just once. At the same time, users should not be disturbed by Google pop-ups, and Google can’t pop up from time to time to remind users to switch the default search engine back to Google. When you use another search engine for the first time, you should also be able to set it as the default with one click.

In this way, some people may give up Google more firmly, but various frequent default settings reminders may upset some people.

3. Stripping the search business from Google

In recent years, the judicial department is more inclined to take structural punishment measures, such as requiring companies to divest some businesses. The most famous example is the split of the telephone giant Bell Company in 1980s, after which a number of independent companies including AT&T were created.

However, not all cases will be supported by the court. For example, in the case of Microsoft, they lost the antitrust lawsuit in the 1990s, and it was not split in the end, but Microsoft finally agreed to a series of behavioral adjustments.

Regulators prefer to divest the company’s business once and for all, so that the problem can be solved once and for all, and there is no need to continuously monitor whether the company complies with the regulations.

The difficulty is to determine which business parts should be divested. John Kwoka, an economics professor at Northeastern University, pointed out that the key is to identify the businesses that Google has and "distort its own incentive mechanism". For example, if the search business is divested, Google’s Android system may be allowed to cooperate with more search engines.

Hovenkamp is skeptical about whether stripping off the search business can really increase market competition. After all, this service is very popular. He said, "Even if Google search is sold, it will only give another company the dominant position. I’m not sure what kind of split can really be effective."

Some financial analysts who specialize in Google’s parent company Alphabet are also not optimistic about this practice. Moody’s rating VP Emile El Nems believes that "Alphabet’s large scale, strong execution and stable financial situation have reduced legal risks and the possible financial and business model impact."

Some legal experts have imagined a possible future scenario: search results are provided by Google, but advertising services are handled by a company separated from Google. One possible problem with this arrangement is that the accuracy of advertising may decline and may even become more annoying.

4. Force Google to share data and algorithms with competitors.

Judge Mehta emphasized in his ruling that Google received far more searches than any other search engine, and these data promoted the optimization of their algorithms, so it had a good user experience.

One of the most radical punishments is to ask Google to share data or algorithms with its competitors to make them stronger.

Rebecca Haw Allensworth, a professor at Vanderbilt University, said: "Courts usually don’t like to force competitors to share such data, but judges seem to be very concerned about how Google’s behavior weakens competitors’ competitiveness in the scale of search data." "Compulsory data sharing can directly solve this problem."

Bazbaz Baz of DuckDuckGo mentioned that all the queries users make on Google and all the results they click on are data that may be shared.

However, he needs to provide necessary technical support and customer service to ensure that other applications can also obtain Google’s search results, and can integrate these results into his own service to provide users with a competitive search experience.

Other competitors believe that Google is not doing well enough in this regard at present.

"Only by taking various punishment measures can competitors enter the market and rely on the advantages of their own products for fair competition." Lee Hepner, senior lawyer of the American Economic Freedom Project, said.

Any method involving Google’s sharing of data may cause users’ privacy concerns. If the strength of competitors increases, they will also have a greater chance to get the default settings. This means that those users who prefer to use Google may need to do some extra operations to return to their accustomed Google search.

5. Strengthen supervision to prevent Google from getting worse.

The US Department of Justice will propose possible punishment measures to Judge Mehta, and Google will have the opportunity to refute it. At present, neither side has disclosed their specific requirements.

In some other antitrust cases, Google continues to restrict competition by designing products and changing policies, one of which is to make it difficult for competitors to bear the cost of competition.

Bazbaz Baz of DuckDuckGo judged, "Google will do everything it can to hinder progress." Therefore, he hopes that Judge Mehta can establish a regulatory body to implement these measures and ensure that Google can abide by these regulations.

He also hopes that Google is required to invest in public education programs to let users know the benefits of changing to a search engine. Through these regulatory and public relations measures, users may frequently hear information about Google’s search antitrust case for a long time to come.

Third, if you lose, the worst thing may be Firefox.

Although Google lost the case in Monday’s ruling, the court did not rule that Google should implement the appeal of the Ministry of Justice. It is unlikely that the court will force Apple to abandon Google as a search partner, but it may demand that the terms of the agreement be changed to create a level playing field, such as providing multiple searches instead of becoming the default search.

If Google is asked to withdraw its agreement with Apple, theoretically, after consumers open new devices for the first time, Safari interface will display different options-such as Microsoft Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc., and Google will become a parallel choice.

At the same time, Apple will not be able to get this huge sum of money from Google. This is really a major blow to it. On Monday, Apple’s share price fell by nearly 5%. However, Apple does have diversified businesses and a wide range of income sources, so it will not fall into financial difficulties.

At present, Apple has gradually got rid of its dependence on traditional Internet search engines through artificial intelligence technology.

Apple’s eyes are on AI, improving and enriching Siri’s functions, and introducing OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini chat bot into Apple’s mobile phone. Future consumers will be guided to Apple’s built-in AI and Siri instead of web browsers.

In the next few months, Apple’s system interface will change. The upcoming Apple Intelligence may change the way people use the iPhone and other devices. Once the new "type into Siri" function is implemented, users can query the AI assistant from anywhere on the iPhone, iPad or Mac interface without talking to Siri.

Apple’s coping strategy actually presents a feature of the struggle between the government and the technology industry. Technology is developing so fast that when the government liquidates it, the industry has entered the next innovation era. Apple will have the opportunity to reach new non-exclusive agreements with artificial intelligence companies such as Google, which will not violate the legal rules of the US government.

In contrast, the situation of another partner of Google is not optimistic.

Mozilla, a non-profit technology organization, is the developer of Firefox browser. After users enter text in Firefox browser and click query, the interface will automatically use Google’s search engine. According to the Mozilla Foundation’s recently published financial statement for 2021-2022, 510 million of the 593 million dollars in revenue came from Google’s search payment. If Google’s $510 million disappears completely, Mozilla will face a major financial crisis.

Mozilla first emerged in the late 1990s. At that time, the Internet Explorer browser developed by Microsoft almost had a monopoly position in the web browser market. As a community-driven project, Mozilla has been trying to break this situation. Monday’s ruling is a new challenge, or a setback, it encountered in the market dominated by giants. Earlier this year, Mozilla laid off about 60 employees and the CEO announced his resignation.

At present, Mozilla is still very brave and has not directly solved the survival problem that the ruling may pose. A spokesperson for Mozilla said, "Mozilla has always supported consumers’ competition and choice, especially in search. We are closely reviewing the court’s ruling, considering its potential impact on Mozilla, and how we can take active actions in the next step … Firefox will continue to provide a series of search options to satisfy users’ preferences and cultivate a competitive market."

Fourth, a lesson from the past: the Microsoft monopoly case finally ended in reconciliation.

The last important U.S. court ruling on science and technology antitrust was the Microsoft case in the 1990s.

In this trial against Google’s monopoly, Google repeatedly tried to explain the difference between this case and the case against Microsoft in that year. Google believes that today’s competition threshold in the search field is far lower than Microsoft’s control over personal computer software.

The current antitrust case against Microsoft has set the tone for the contest between the government and Google. The Ministry of Justice and some states believe that this search giant is following the old path of Microsoft, but the battlefield has shifted to different technology markets.

The general process is as follows:

Litigation: In May 1998, the U.S. Department of Justice, together with 19 states and the District of Columbia, filed an antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft. The main reasons for the prosecution include: Microsoft abused its monopoly position in the operating system market, squeezed out its competitors through improper means, especially bundling Internet Explorer with Windows, and attacked Netscape Navigator of Netscape.

Preliminary judgment: In June, 2000, federal judge Thomas Penfield Jackson ruled that Microsoft violated antitrust and ordered Microsoft to split into two independent entities: one responsible for operating system business and the other responsible for software application business.

Appeal and settlement: Microsoft appealed this judgment. During the appeal, Microsoft continued to argue that their behavior was a legitimate business strategy, not anti-competitive behavior, while trying to reconcile with the government to avoid the company being split up. In June 2001, the court of appeal overturned the order to split the company, but upheld the ruling that Microsoft violated the anti-monopoly law. The case was remanded to a new judge.

Final settlement: After a series of negotiations, in November 2001, the US Department of Justice and Microsoft reached a settlement agreement. The agreement came into effect on November 1, 2002.

The main contents of reconciliation:

The final settlement agreement did not require the separation of Microsoft, which is a major difference from the original judgment.

After the settlement, science and technology critic Cringely wrote in his personal column that it is impossible to split Microsoft. Microsoft has firmly controlled the market, and only major internal mistakes can make it die. "Now the only way for Microsoft to die is to commit suicide."

In the end, the verdict on Microsoft weakened Microsoft’s dominant position in the technology industry and made room for other technology companies (such as Google and Apple) to develop. This case also affected the European Union, which made a similar ruling against Microsoft in 2004.

The US antitrust case against Microsoft also laid the foundation for the competition rules of digital giants at that time.

There are quite a few participating brands and quite a few participating vehicles; But in fact, these brands have been creating topics all the time, so it is hard to predict how many new ideas the Guangzhou Auto Show will have.

The following is the specific exhibition hall and brand layout.

Absence brand

FAW-Volkswagen Jetta, SAIC-GM Chevrolet, Jaguar Land Rover, Polar Star Motor, Subaru, Janeses, Qichen Automobile, Yuanhang Automobile, Universiade Automobile, Rolls-Royce, etc.

Secondly, the absent brands are basically unpopular brands, with the exception of Rolls-Royce, which seems to have no need to participate frequently, and its brand power has reached the top level. Among these brands, Subaru and Janice are imported car brands, and Janice is a high-end brand of Hyundai Kia. Its brand sales have been very low, and the significance of participating in the exhibition is really small.

Subaru is a very different brand, and it prefers to use horizontally opposed engine, but the models are generally not coupes that pursue the ultimate control. It is of little significance to use this engine for ordinary cars and SUVs. In addition, the engines used are mostly naturally aspirated models with weak power, so the sales volume is also relatively poor.

Chevrolet’s sales increased in October, but only the entry-level cars with falling prices were driving the growth, and the other vehicles were unpopular. Qichen Automobile is a sub-brand of Dongfeng Nissan, and its performance is not very eye-catching. Yuanhang Automobile has only one high-end large-scale new energy car, with a monthly sales volume of several hundred cars, so it is of little significance to participate in the exhibition. Jetta, Jaguar, Land Rover and other brands have simple product lines and well-known vehicles. And there is no new technology, so you don’t have to pay attention to Guangzhou Auto Show if you are interested in these brands.

New brand

BAIC Manufacturing 212, Jishi Automobile, Ledao Automobile and Yizhen Automobile belong to new participating brands, followed by Dongfeng Ying finidi, Dongfeng Fengxing, Baojun Automobile and FAW Pentium.

Among these brands, 212, Jishi and Baojun are more interesting. The new off-road models brought by BAIC manufacturing have a high comprehensive level, and their strength can be compared with those of BJ40 and other cars, and they have a slight advantage in power. However, the brand awareness is low, and this exhibition is to improve the brand exposure. However, it is expected that some modified versions and some modified kits will be brought this time, which will be more attractive for off-road vehicle enthusiasts.

The existence of the polar stone car is not high, because it has only one production car, called; The monthly sales volume is about 500 vehicles, so it belongs to the unpopular brand and unpopular car. However, this car is still very interesting. As a hard-core SUV with a structure, it belongs to the category of "square box"; The vehicle adopts four-wheel drive system, which has strong performance and certain light off-road ability.

The energy consumption and space performance of the vehicle are also remarkable. As a medium and large SUV, the price is about 300,000 yuan, which is quite cost-effective.

Baojun automobile will bring one or two new cars, including the brand’s first medium-sized car; Secondly, the modified version that should be brought, this K-class car is still very eye-catching. Unfortunately, Baojun Automobile has no extended-range model. If the extended-range version of Baojun Yueye and the extended-range four-wheel drive option can be introduced, this car is likely to become an explosion; At the same time, you can also consider building an extended-range version. The vehicle is defined as a compact cross-border MPV for home use, and there may be unexpected gains.

The rest of the brands will not go into details, because there are no new models worthy of attention in the near future, but it does not rule out that new products will be released at the auto show.

The Guangzhou Auto Show is advanced here. If there are new models worth explaining, they will be synchronized in time.

Jiang Xin, who is domineering and tearing up her colleagues, is strong in returning to green tea and cutting short hair, is too queen-like.

The discussion of family and workplace in TV series Our Marriage has aroused a lot of enthusiasm. Women not only have to face the pressure from the workplace, but also shoulder the responsibility of supporting their families. How to balance career and family is a difficult puzzle for them.

Dong Sijia, played by Rulu, comes out with bgm. In the eyes of colleagues, she isA strong woman in real life. Work vigorously, pay attention to efficiency, is the leader in the team.

She is not a soft persimmon for anyone to hold. Her opponent wants to take away the project in her hand. A sentence "Experience and connections are more important" can block the opponent’s back road.

Subordinate ability is not good and love to snitch, she directly broke that little mind and let the other party leave.

If there is always a female leader who kills all sides in the workplace, there is no doubt that,Dong Sijia is slay’s presence in the audience..

Jiang Xin, who cut her hair short, is a bit more capable and domineering. In her memory, she is still the "Hua Fei Niangniang" who is not angry and powerful, and has the same majesty and gas field.

This domineering spirit has also continued to Xiao Shede. In education, she is a veritable tiger mother. She devoted all her efforts to cultivating her son, and that perseverance even gave in to the defeat of Nan Li, who always disliked her. Today’s "Our Marriage", different roles, speaking look is still so similar.

There will always be one in the workplace.The fearsome devil.They can be independent in their work and their business ability is a cinch. Looking at the appearance, you will feel that they are unreasonable. When you get close, you will find that there is a soft heart hidden under the hard appearance.

One second, I was still preparing for the roadshow with my colleagues, and the next second, I received a meeting notice from the leaders. When a phone call came, Dong Sijia was about to put down his work and rush to the company without stopping.

Subordinate don’t understand why she is so hard, she just said, "Work is sorrow and joy.",and then the figure disappeared in the downpour. No one can help you solve the problem, only you can rely on at the critical moment.

She seems to be strong, but in fact she has her own principles. After she hired Shen Comet, the partner hesitated and questioned whether Shen Comet was competent. Dong Sijia spoke of the dilemma of women’s survival in the workplace in a few words: if she is gentle, she will be questioned about her ability, and if she is strong, she will be criticized for unscrupulous means.

No doubt about employing people, no doubt about people. She recruited comet Shen because she valued each other’s ability, which had nothing to do with her background and partner. I have to say,If full-time mothers want to return to the workplace, they will inevitably face many difficulties. They need more professional ability and stronger inner strength to deal with possible problems..

Shen Comet has been a full-time mother for her children, and her husband Sheng Jiangchuan is too busy with work to ask about housework. The economy is not independent and can’t get the respect it deserves, so there are naturally more and more problems in life.

Unlike Shen Comet Sheng Jiangchuan’s husband and wife, Dong Sijia and Yuwen Li’s husband and wife are male and female. Dong Sijia is an executive of a financial company, with a successful career and a husband in the family. Everything is perfect and he is a "winner in life" in everyone’s eyes.

Her success can’t be separated from her husband’s full support. However, in others’ eyes, Yuwen Li is touched by his wife’s light, and she only needs to be a "full-time husband" with peace of mind at home.

At the reunion, someone took the opportunity to connote Yuwen Li, which sounded like praising his good eye and capable wife. In fact, it was somewhat disdainful and ironic that he was a "soft rice man". Looking at her husband being pointed at by others, Dong Sijia certainly has to support her husband. Liao Liao said a few words, and Rulu replied angrily to the uneasy and kind-hearted man for her husband, which was a perfect interpretation of domineering and protecting her husband.

Although I am grateful to my husband for his contribution to the family,Dong Sijia will still inevitably show her dissatisfaction with her husband’s career.. Yuwen Li wanted to find another job, but Dong Sijia blocked her husband’s way out on the grounds that he was "poor and disgraceful".

At this point, she is a sexual version of Sheng Jiangchuan. Unconsciously bringing work style into the family will inevitably suffocate people after a long time.

Every time he changes a play, Rulu will change his style. At first, the audience was attracted by the glamorous arrogance of Empresses in the Palace Huafei, and then they loved and hated Fan Shengmei in Ode to Joy, and then they avoided Tian Yulan’s tricks in Xiao Shede.

There are some similarities between Dong Sijia and Tian Yulan in Our Marriage. They are both housewives, but Dong Sijia’s husband is better at housekeeping than Tian Yulan, so that his wife has no worries.

It is said that every family has a difficult experience. If you want to do the homework of marriage well, both husband and wife should manage it carefully.A good marriage is to do addition to achieve the effect of 1+1 > 2.. Without a perfect marriage, getting along for a long time will naturally lead to contradictions. Take a step back from each other, regardless of who pays more, but Qi Xin should work together to run a good family.

A strong marriage is doomed not to last long. Passion retreats, and love and responsibility are the keynote of marriage management.

How to realize remote and efficient operation and maintenance of equipment, analysis of IT operation and maintenance function of Sunflower Enterprise Edition

   [Tianji. com IT News Channel]In the information age, IT equipment generally supports the business of enterprises. Once these equipment have problems, it will have a great impact on the business and may cause irreversible accidents. In this context, operation and maintenance is extremely important, but the conventional offline operation and maintenance mode is costly and inefficient, so it is necessary to effectively introduce remote operation and maintenance management means.

    Therefore, how to build an efficient and professional remote operation and maintenance management system around a large number of IT equipment owned by enterprises, even commercial equipment widely deployed in the front line of business, is a compulsory course for enterprise IT departments.

    As a national remote control brand, Berry Sunflower provides a professional remote IT operation and maintenance management solution for enterprises, which is equipped with many practical operation and maintenance functions, which can help us to better implement remote operation and maintenance. Let’s take a look here.

   Remote IT operation and maintenance management: how to authorize and group a large number of devices

    When the number of equipment gradually increases to hundreds of units, the primitive and extensive management mode will be inadequate. Faced with this situation, we need to build a management system, in which the equipment is properly grouped and authorized to specific IT leaders, which is the specific means to build the system.

    ●  Equipment batch deployment

    Sunflower Enterprise Edition supports batch deployment. We found Equipment Management-Installation and Deployment-Software Customization in Sunflower Management Platform, and we can customize a remote control client software as required.

    After customization, we can install the installation package on the corresponding equipment in a unified way, and then complete the deployment, without debugging and setting each equipment separately.

   ●  Device grouping strategy

    Sunflower Enterprise Edition is equipped with the function of "grouping strategy", which provides two grouping strategies: automatic grouping and manual grouping, which can be selected when customizing the installation package.

    Manual grouping, that is, when customizing the installation package for installation and deployment, you can manually select the grouping where your own equipment is located. This mode is more common in scenes such as chain stores, and the grouping operation is actually delegated to the front line, and the grouping is directly established during the initial deployment of equipment, reducing the burden of grouping management at headquarters.

    Automatic grouping, that is, when customizing the installation package, you can set the package to automatically enter a certain group. We can customize an installation package for each group according to the groups we need to divide.

    Of course, we can also set the automatic grouping policy: when the system detects whether the device name/remark name contains the specified keyword, it will be automatically assigned to the specified grouping.

   ●  Equipment authorization management

    Equipment authorization, that is, which equipment is specifically managed by each front-line operation and maintenance account. Sunflower Enterprise Edition supports authorizing the equipment under the main account to a specified account or account group. Operation and maintenance personnel can log in with the employee account assigned by the enterprise, and can see the equipment they can manage, so as to realize the management by departments, regions and powers.

    The authorization of equipment can be relatively long-term or short-term to meet the different needs of internal operation and maintenance management and external supplier access.

    If it is necessary to establish an efficient short-term authorization system, enterprises can consider setting up a flexible "guest account pool". The permissions of these accounts are set according to the external remote control requirements, and they are allocated when needed, and the permissions are taken back immediately after the relevant business ends.

   How to achieve efficient access to IT operation and maintenance capabilities?

    Facing a large number of devices, how to further make remote operation and maintenance efficient? How to quickly feed back the relevant information of front-line equipment to headquarters IT? Faced with these problems, sunflowers are equipped with the following functions.

   ●  Batch distribution of files

    Sunflower provides file batch distribution function. When we need to upgrade and iterate on the controlled equipment in the daily operation and maintenance process, we can use this function to distribute files such as update patches to the controlled terminal in batches, without transmitting files one by one, which is fast and convenient.

    ●  The cloud policy uniformly adjusts the settings of the controlled end.

    If we need to adjust the settings of the sunflower controlled terminal, or even part of the settings of the controlled terminal equipment, do we need to manually adjust them one by one? The answer is no.

    Sunflower Enterprise Edition provides the "cloud strategy" function of the client. We can directly create the corresponding strategy in the cloud, adjust the functional configuration of the client, and send these configurations to the front-line equipment in real time without repeated deployment in cover the installation.

    These settings include: whether to allow local modification of access password, update of verification code, whether to allow startup of privacy screen, etc. It is worth mentioning that this function can now set the desktop wallpaper of the controlled device in a unified way, which is practical when some chain enterprises need to change the desktop background in a unified way on holidays.

   ●  Screen wall+equipment alarm strategy

    Unattended equipment, how can we * locate the fault in time, or warn related problems? Screen wall and alarm strategy are very practical functions.

    The screen wall function provided by sunflower can monitor the pictures of multiple devices at the same time, and the usage and running status of the devices can be seen at a glance.

    At the same time, Sunflower Enterprise Edition also supports setting device alarm strategies, such as setting thresholds of performance indicators of devices, networks, etc., and triggering alarm notifications when the performance of devices reaches the set thresholds.

    How to ensure the stability and security of remote operation and maintenance?

    IT operation and maintenance, stability and safety of batch equipment are also very important indicators, so sunflower is also equipped with many practical functions.

   ●  Traceless operation and process protection

    If the remote control software of unattended equipment is accidentally turned off and is in a "lost connection" state, it is very troublesome to restart the software offline if you want to re-establish the connection. In order to avoid the above situation, Sunflower supports the start of seamless operation and process guardian.

    After the seamless operation is started, desktop shortcuts, tray icons and bubble reminders will not be displayed, and the software uninstallation entrance will be hidden to prevent the software from exiting due to misoperation; After the daemon is started, it can automatically restart when the sunflower enterprise client is unexpectedly stopped.

   ●  Custom privacy screen

    Sunflower Enterprise Edition privacy screen supports user-defined display content. After this function is turned on, the information of privacy screen will be displayed on the screen of the controlled terminal during remote operation and maintenance, and the specific operation process will not be seen or disturbed.

   ●  Log, watermark, screen recording

    In order to ensure the safety and traceability of the remote operation and maintenance process, Sunflower Enterprise Edition supports the setting of watermark function: the remote control window is superimposed with plaintext watermark, and the watermark content is based on information such as the identity of the operation and maintenance personnel, so as to standardize the operation and maintenance behavior of sensitive positions and ensure the information security of the controlled equipment.

    In addition, the operation and maintenance process supports the whole process of "cloud video recording", and the details of remote operation and maintenance are recorded in the form of video and stored in the cloud. Remote control log can accurately record the time and behavior of operation, and ensure effective traceability when security incidents occur.

   Ending:

    The above is the related content of how enterprises use sunflower to realize efficient remote IT operation and maintenance. As a national remote control brand, Berry Sunflower and Shanghai Software Industry Association issued the industry * group standard of remote control, which accelerated the application of remote control software technology in a wider range of scenarios in the future. At the same time, Sunflower parent company "Berry" has been deeply involved in the field of remote connection for 18 years, with 90 million+registered users, 1.1 million+corporate customers and as many as 2 billion access devices.

    If you are interested in other product schemes or cases of sunflower remote control, please go to official WeChat official account or official website for more details.

Nongfu Spring deforestation? Local government: It was not included in the national park at that time

  The latest development in Nongfu Spring’s "illegal and unauthorized excavation of access roads and destruction of forests" in Wuyishan National Park has attracted widespread attention.

  On January 13, an insider of the Wuyishan municipal government in Fujian Province told Surging News that "after investigation, the online report of Nongfu Spring’s unauthorized excavation of the sidewalk deforestation did not involve forest land. The sidewalk was rented by Nongfu Spring to the collective land of Daanyuan villagers, and it is a temporary passage. After the construction is completed, Nongfu Spring will also be restored as required. As for the deforestation situation, an investigation has been filed, and the conclusion of the investigation will be announced soon."

  At the same time, surging news reporters obtained a number of government documents showing that multiple departments of Wuyishan City participated in the investigation, and the investigation concluded that "there is no dispute between the construction part of the river and the Da’anyuan Scenic Area." On January 12, the Wuyishan National Park Administration issued a notice on the matter, saying that the site of the water intake point of the Nongfu Spring Wuyishan Project is not within the scope of the national park, and showed a satellite schematic diagram.

  The documents also mention that the local tourism company that reported Nongfu Spring this time had hoped to be acquired by Nongfu Spring or the local government after the Nongfu Spring Wuyishan project was settled, but the company failed. The company has since repeatedly **** to the local government, and a document from the Wuyishan municipal government in response to the company said that "there is no dispute between the Nongfu Spring project and Daanyuan Scenic Area, and there is no infringement on the company’s interests."

  However, the whistleblower emphasized that the reason for reflecting it was more from the perspective of the local environment, and he was very sad about the deforestation. "I will resolve the dispute through legal channels."

  report

  Public information shows that Nongfu Spring (Wuyishan, Fujian) Drinking Water Co., Ltd. was registered in August 2017 and is a key project of the Wuyishan Municipal Government to attract investment.

  The project began EIA approval in April 2018 and passed the EIA approval in June of that year.

  Nongfu Spring was first reported as a problem with the environmental impact assessment, and the whistleblower was Da’an Yuan Ecotourism Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Da’an Yuan Company).

  Da’anyuan Ecotourism Co., Ltd. is a company that develops ecological agriculture and forestry tourism projects in Wuyishan. The person in charge of the company, Qiang Huanrong, used to be the deputy director of Xingcun Commune in Wuyishan City. After going to sea, he established "Sumin Travel Agency" to operate homestays in Wuyishan. In 2003, he began to operate Da’anyuan local tourism projects through the company.

  "Da’anyuan’s right to operate and use tourism resources is limited to surface landscape development and surface utilization," said a local person close to the incident. "After the Nongfu Spring project was launched, Qiang Huanrong believed that the project would harm its interests. He talked to the government and Nongfu Spring many times and asked to acquire the company."

  This statement was confirmed by Nongfu Spring, saying that the two sides did exchange information in this regard, but they did not reach an agreement.

  For this matter, Qiang Huanrong did not provide an explanation in an interview with reporters.

  Afterwards, Da’anyuan Company frequently reported to the government, the first to report problems with the environmental impact assessment.

  A person from the Wuyishan Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau told The Paper, "Da’anyuan Company once reported that there was no public participation in the EIA of the project, and we also replied to the company at that time, because the project is a special project EIA and does not require public participation. In fact, we attach great importance to this project. According to the classification of this project, we generally only need to report the table of contents, but we do it in full accordance with the requirements of the higher-level project report, and the EIA is quite strict."

  The person particularly wants to clarify to the outside world, "Previously, the media reported that a third-party organization said that there were major changes to the project that required a re-environmental impact assessment, which refers to the problem of digging access roads for this project. We actually want to find this third-party company and ask him where his professionalism is. According to the latest regulations, first of all, the major changes to the project that require a re-environmental impact assessment refer to 24 industries, such as Nongfu Spring, which belongs to the industrial category and is not in this industry category to be re-evaluated. Even if the major changes to be re-evaluated refer to the scale, nature, location, production process, and environmental protection measures of the project, this kind of access road in Nongfu Spring belongs to temporary construction, but the location is offset. How can there be a reason for re-environmental impact assessment?"

  In an interview with surging news, Nongfu Spring said that before the Wuyishan water extraction project was established, the Fujian Provincial Water Conservancy and Hydropower Exploration and Design Institute conducted a detailed investigation, demonstration and issued a report on the water resources of the project. On February 28, 2018, under the auspices of the Wuyishan Water Conservancy Bureau, 5 expert group members of the Water Conservancy Bureau and leaders of relevant 5 functional areas of business in the city were hired to review the water resources demonstration report (draft for review) of the water resources demonstration project of the drinking natural water production line construction project of Nongfu Spring (Wuyishan, Fujian) Drinking Water Co., Ltd. After repeated research and demonstration, the water resources demonstration report was approved. During the review process, deputies to the Municipal People’s Congress and members of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference sent representatives to participate in the supervision.

  On April 13, 2018, after review by the Wuyishan Water Conservancy Bureau, it was found that the application materials for water extraction of the project were complete and met the legal requirements. According to the expert review opinion of the "Nongfu Spring (Wuyishan, Fujian) Water Drawing Project Water Resources Demonstration Report", the water extraction requirements of Nongfu Spring were approved, that is, the annual water intake of 2.17 million cubic meters.

  Regarding environmental issues that have attracted much attention, Nongfu Spring told reporters that "the Nongfu Spring Wuyishan project is a drinking water production and construction project, which complies with the provisions of the" Industrial Structure Adjustment Guidance Catalogue (2011) " (revised in 2013) and other documents, and conforms to the national industrial and environmental protection policies."

  How many forests were destroyed?

  The core issue of this public opinion is that Nongfu Spring destroyed trees in the national park in the process.

  "Nongfu Spring destroyed a lot of trees during the construction of the sidewalk, but the Forestry Bureau reported to the province that only 54 trees were destroyed. This number is definitely wrong," Qiang Huanrong told The Paper. "How much of this needs to be assessed by a third-party organization."

  The Wuyishan government official replied, "The Forestry Bureau has gone to the field to investigate, and the Forestry Bureau has also filed an investigation. How to punish will be punished according to regulations, but it needs to be emphasized that these trees were not within the scope of the national park at that time."

  On January 12, Wuyishan National Park’s WeChat account issued a survey report on online public opinion on "suspected Nongfu Spring night destruction of Wuyishan National Park forest area", which mentioned the problems reflected by Qiang Huanrong.

  "[The Nongfu Spring project] destroyed trees in the forest land immediately adjacent to the water intake point and built a construction access road with a length of about 200 meters," the notice said. "After verification, there is indeed a construction access road, and after on-site measurement, the length is about 150 meters. However, the construction of the access road was in October 2019, and the area was not included in the scope of Wuyishan National Park at that time. The" Wuyishan National Park Master Plan "approved by the Fujian Provincial People’s Government on December 25, 2019 was newly transferred to the scope of the national park. The deforestation situation has been registered and investigated by the Wuyishan Forest Public Security Department on November 18, 2019."

  It is worth noting that the above-mentioned documents show that the Wuyishan Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, the Wuyishan Forestry Bureau and the Wuyishan Water Conservancy Bureau all participated in the investigation and concluded that "there is no dispute between the Nongfu Spring project and the Da’anyuan Scenic Area".

  conflict of interests

  What is unavoidable is the conflicting interests of the relevant parties behind this report.

  A government official in Wuyishan told the surging news reporter, "Da’anyuan Company believes that the government’s’one woman and two marriages’, but in fact, Da’anyuan Company only obtains the right to operate and use tourism resources, and only involves the development of water surface landscapes and water surface utilization. The Nongfu Spring project obtains the use of water resources. The two projects belong to different approval content, and there is no such thing as’one woman and two marriages’."

  In addition to this question, Da’anyuan’s main question is that the construction of the Nongfu Spring project is within its business scope and damages its interests, demanding compensation.

  Nongfu Spring believes that the focus of the contradiction between the two companies lies in the "Taiping Ocean Water Rafting" project of Da’anyuan Ecotourism Company. Since the water intake point of Nongfu Spring is located upstream of the rafting project, Da’anyuan believes that once Nongfu Spring draws water upstream, it will lead to smaller water flow and affect the business of its water rafting project.

  In this regard, the Wuyishan Municipal Government sent two letters to Da’anyuan Company on January 8 and January 10, 2020, expressing three aspects: first, the Nongfu Spring Project is a construction within the river channel, and there is no dispute; second, the Nongfu Spring Project does not involve the scope of forest land leased by Da’anyuan, and Nongfu Spring and Da’anyuan Village have signed a relevant lease agreement, Da’anyuan Company has no right to block work; third, if Da’anyuan Company believes that there is a problem, it can take legal channels.

  In a report obtained by the reporter, the Wuyishan Municipal Government’s summary of the special meeting document on Da’anyuan Company’s report on Nongfu Spring shows that after investigation by multiple departments, many problems in Da’anyuan were also found, such as the development of Da’anyuan tourism project without legal administrative approval; at that time, the Yangzhuang Township Government made it clear that Da’anyuan Company did not pay 20,000 yuan per year as required by the contract after signing the business contract; it also included the existence of Da’anyuan Company’s development land without approval.

  "As a key project introduced by the Wuyishan municipal government, the Nongfu Spring project is in full legal compliance. I hope the Internet can view the problem more rationally and not be deceived by one-sided information," the above-mentioned government official told Surging News.

  Nongfu Spring said that the fact of this project has a protective effect on the local ecology, "On the one hand, it will definitely not affect the water consumption of residents, because the water withdrawal of the project only accounts for 5.71% of Longjing Source Stream, 2.92% of the average water supply of Daanyuan tributaries, and 0.39% of the total amount of Xixi Stream; on the other hand, there was an economic forest upstream of its water intake, and Daanyuan villagers in Daanyuan Village had cut down trees from this forest land for sale in the past. On October 21, 2019, Nongfu Spring and Daanyuan villagers in Daanyuan Village signed an agreement. According to the agreement, the villagers will no longer cut down trees upstream of the water source, and Nongfu Spring will give 200,000 yuan of economic compensation for the protection of the water source every year."

  In an interview with The Paper, Qiang Huanrong emphasized that "I do not agree with the conclusions of the government’s investigation, including the scope of our company’s lease, but the reason why I reflect it is more for the local environment. I have also been in charge of forestry when I worked in the government before, and I am very sad about the deforestation. As for my dispute, I will resolve it through legal channels."

Xu Lin, President of Sailisi Automobile Co., Ltd. (rotating): Building a new energy car in China and creating a global smart car brand.

Acceptance speech: 

It is a great honor to be elected as "Top Ten Influential People of Chongqing Manufacturing Industry". I would like to thank the leaders of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Economic and Information Committee, the Chongqing Daily Newspaper Group and the upstream news for organizing this selection activity, and also thank the jury.The experts’ recognition of me!

Last month, Jin Kang New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. was renamed Sailisi Automobile Co., Ltd., the headquarters of Xiaokang Group and related business clusters of Sailisi moved to a new location, and our customer M5 also achieved the fastest record of "delivering more than 10,000 cars in 87 days". These achievements can not be achieved without the care and support of leaders and partners from all walks of life.

We will continue to focus on the development of high-end smart cars and contribute to the transformation, upgrading and high-quality development of Chongqing’s automobile industry! thank you

Building a car: Sailis lays out two smart factories to develop new energy vehicles.

On December 23rd last year, Sailis Automobile Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Sailis") officially released its high-end smart car brand AITO, and the first model M5 was delivered in March this year. By the end of May, the cumulative delivery exceeded 10,000 vehicles.

Wenjie M5 is produced in Sailisi Liangjiang Smart Factory, which meets the industrial 4.0 standard.

What standard is Industry 4.0?

Xu Lin said that the Sailisi Liangjiang Smart Factory, which was put into use in 2019, has the world-class high-standard intelligent manufacturing capability, and has achieved a high degree of automation and intelligence. It has more than 1,000 intelligent robots, 100% automation of key processes, and 24-hour online inspection, which effectively reduces labor costs while making manufacturing accuracy and product quality reach first-class standards. It was awarded the "Lighthouse Factory" in Chongqing in 2021.

In order to avoid the potential danger caused by battery PACK operation under high voltage of more than 300 volts, the production module in the battery pack workshop of Liangjiang Smart Factory is produced by automatic AGV, and the most advanced precision high-speed aluminum wire welding technology is adopted in the key welding process, which realizes automatic on-line monitoring of welding.

"Such a factory guarantees the rapid production and high-quality delivery of our vehicles," he said. In addition to Liangjiang Smart Factory, we are building a second smart factory in Fenghuang, Shapingba District, which is also built according to Industry 4.0 standard. It is expected to be completed and put into use in the second half of this year, with a maximum annual production capacity of 150,000 units.

R&D: Cross-border integration of Huawei and Cyrus creates three precedents.

On May 29th, the reporter went to the headquarters of Xiaokang Group in Shapingba District Enterprise Innovation Service Center.

New headquarters, new starting point.

"The relocation of the headquarters of Xiaokang Group and its related business clusters to new homes is a new stage of development for Celestial Automobile at a higher starting point, and it is also a new starting point for Celestial to make efforts to lead global intelligent enterprises." Xu Lin said.

In December 2017, Xu Lin was transferred from Chief Technology Officer of Xiaokang Group to Celes, and began to transform new energy vehicles from traditional car tracks.

Xu Lin said that traditional cars are different from the new forces of the Internet. Internet companies have certain inherent advantages in entering the new energy automobile industry. First, they have their own scientific and technological attributes, and they have certain advantages and persuasiveness in the intelligent aspects of vehicles, such as autonomous driving and intelligent cockpit. Secondly, many technology companies have their own relatively mature user circles and their own fans, so it is easier to find their target audience after the vehicle is built.

Traditional car companies have a complete vehicle supply and production system, and the established brand reputation, vehicle performance experience, technical strength and workmanship have occupied certain advantages.

At the same time, traditional car companies have accumulated many years of experience in vehicle chassis, power, interior and exterior design, and both adjustment and design are quite mature.

"Cyrus has a good partner, Huawei." He said that many people say that the cross-border integration of Huawei and Cyrus is a wonderful move. Combining the strengths of all parties, it will become a global intelligent leading enterprise in the future. I agree with this statement.

The transformation of new energy automobile industry shows a trend of borderless integration, and ecological development and mutual win-win are more important, and the cross-border alliance between automobile enterprises and technology companies is bound to be further strengthened. The cooperation between Cyrus and Huawei is also the general trend, and the pragmatic values of "customer-centered, quality first" are the consensus of the two sides, and the two sides have already started cooperation in 2019.

At present, Celestial and Huawei, through the mode of mutual empowerment and in-depth cooperation, further promote cooperation in the field of intelligent terminals around technologies, products and channels, jointly create high-performance and intelligent mobile travel solutions, and integrate the digital world into every car.

Both Cyrus and Huawei are "technology houses" that focus on technology research and development. Huawei is a global leader in scientific and technological innovation and is committed to building a smart world with the Internet of Everything.

Cyrus also pays attention to the investment in research and development, and has mastered more than 1,000 new energy-related technology patents. It is also the first enterprise in China to master the core three-electricity technology and have the qualification to produce new energy vehicles. It is precisely because they have the same pursuit in the technical field that the cooperation between the two sides is quite effective.

Huawei has more than 5,000 experience stores in China and 730 million smartphone users, which can provide a huge traffic portal for the sales of intelligent products.

"The cross-border integration of our joint business with Huawei has created three precedents." Xu Lin said: First, it has created a precedent for the deep integration of new energy automobile enterprises and ICT technology enterprises; The second is to create a precedent for cars to enter mobile phone stores for sale, and realize the first channel interoperability between technology brands and automobile brands in the world; The third is to create a precedent for the release of mobile phones and cars together.

Planning: The M7 will be mass-produced soon, and a number of mid-to-high-end smart models will be available in five years.

Recently, Celestial Phoenix Smart Factory is working overtime for the final debugging stage.

"Wenjie M5 is produced in Liangjiang Smart Factory, and the upcoming Wenjie M7 will be produced in Phoenix Smart Factory." Xu Lin said. The M7 is positioned as a "luxury smart large electric SUV" and will be officially released soon.

"For the M7, which is about to be mass-produced, there has been a solid foundation and good reputation laid by the M5 before, and with the technical support of Huawei, we think the future can be expected."  

At present, Chongqing’s automobile industry has a huge scale and outstanding industrial advantages. Sailis will actively respond to the strategy of building a world-class automobile industry cluster in Sichuan and Chongqing, closely follow the new round of scientific and technological revolution and the trend of "new four modernizations" of automobiles, and accelerate the digital transformation of enterprises.

"We will still adhere to the concept of self-sustaining technology, maintain an open and cooperative mentality, actively cooperate with outstanding enterprises in relevant chains, promote the optimization of the whole industrial chain, and jointly promote the development of the new energy automobile industry." He said that Cyrus will firmly promote the automobile energy transformation and create a smart mobile life, adhere to the in-depth cooperation with Huawei, and strive to become a global smart car brand enterprise. In the next five years, it will plan a variety of mid-to-high-end smart models to meet the needs of more users.

Xu Lin said that in the future, Sailis will still take users as the center, define car functions based on user usage scenarios, define configuration and technical solutions based on functions, and divide cars into hardware bases, software bases and application layers to gradually realize "software-defined cars" and realize "pluggable hardware, programmable scenes, ecology on demand and self-evolution of the system".
