Biden identified the Armenian tragedy as "genocide". Where is the relationship between the United States and Turkey going?

  Recently, US President Biden identified the massacre of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire during World War I as "genocide". In this regard, the Turkish Foreign Ministry and several senior officials expressed strong condemnation, and the Turkish side even summoned the US ambassador to Turkey. Turkish President Erdogan said after a cabinet meeting in Ankara, the capital, on April 26th local time that "the President of the United States made unfounded, unfair and untrue comments about the tragedy that happened in our region more than a century ago", which was a "wrong step". It would undermine the relationship between the United States and Turkey, and I hope Biden would withdraw his remarks as soon as possible. He said, "If you say ‘ Genocide ’ Then you need to look in the mirror and evaluate it. I don’t even need to mention Native Americans, it’s obvious what happened. "

  So what impact will the "mutual choking" between the United States and Turkey have on the relations between the two countries? Will Turkey take tough countermeasures?

  Two newspapers and a late politician.

  On April 24, US President Biden issued a statement: "On this day every year, we commemorate all the people who died in the genocide against Armenians during the Ottoman Empire and are committed to preventing such atrocities from happening again."

  On the second day of Biden’s statement, Turkish netizens forwarded photos of two Turkish newspapers published in 1975.

  One is the front page photo of the Turkish newspaper Freedom on July 26, 1975, with the headline: "We control the military base".

  The other is a front-page photo of Turkey’s "National Daily" on July 27, 1975. The headline reads: "The American flag in the base is lowered and the Turkish flag is raised."

  On July 25, 1975, in retaliation for the arms embargo imposed by the United States on Turkey, Turkey announced the closure of American military facilities in its territory. This is what these two front pages reported.

  Biden’s statement this time allowed the Turks to turn these two newspapers out of the dust of history. Some netizens commented: "Since we can do it before, why not now?"

  The word "ecevit" has also made a hot search in Turkey. Ecevit, a late Turkish politician, served as Turkish Prime Minister for four times. In 1978, the United States lifted the arms embargo on Turkey, but then Turkish Prime Minister ecevit resisted the pressure and did not reopen the US military base. Forty-three years later, Turkish netizens commented on ecevit: "He was a fearless prime minister" and "We commemorate the late ecevit with respect".

  Through these two newspapers and ecevit, Turkish netizens expressed their anger at Biden’s statement. One netizen even said: "The first thing to do now is to close the US military base and recall our ambassador, and declare them persona non grata to expel them."

  Some Turks even went to the US Consulate in Istanbul to demonstrate and protest. They waved the Turkish flag and shouted the slogan "American soldiers, get out of Turkey".

  In addition to the repercussions aroused by the Turkish people, Turkish officials also responded to Biden’s statement at the first time.

  The Turkish Foreign Ministry issued a statement on April 24th, rejecting and condemning the statement of the President of the United States in the strongest way, saying that the statement had no academic and legal basis and no evidence to support it. Late that night, the Turkish Foreign Ministry summoned Satterfield, the American ambassador to Turkey, and told him that Biden’s statement was unacceptable. A number of senior Turkish political officials also expressed their views on social media platforms, refusing to accept and strongly condemning Biden’s statement.

  For a long time, Armenians have been pushing American officials to recognize the Armenian tragedy as "genocide". In 2019, the US Congress passed a resolution recognizing the Armenian tragedy as "genocide". However, previous American presidents always avoided using the word "genocide" to avoid angering NATO ally Turkey. However, Biden made a different choice and became the first American president to officially recognize the incident as "genocide."

  Analyst: Ignoring Biden’s words and returning to normal life is the best choice.

  Although senior Turkish officials strongly condemned Biden’s statement on April 24 at the first time, Turkish President Erdogan did not respond immediately, and he first expressed his opinion on April 26. Some of Erdogan’s words are fierce, but some media analysts believe that this fiercely worded response has essentially maintained restraint.

  Erdogan, while asking the US to correct its mistakes, also said that he and Biden will talk about this issue when they meet in June. He said that the two sides should put aside the issue of damaging bilateral relations and focus on the future. Erdogan did not announce any specific countermeasures.

  "Turkey will ignore Biden’s words and return to normal life. In my opinion, this is also the best choice for Turkey. " Hussein Baze, director of the Turkish Foreign Policy Institute, said. He believes that the United States has more sanctions than Turkey. What Turkey can do is to recall the ambassador and close the military base in Ingeer, but there will be no more measures against the United States. Turkey needs America more than America needs Turkey. Turkey is unlikely to take tough measures against the United States.

  △ Hussein Baze, Director of the Turkish Institute of Foreign Policy, was interviewed by the General Desk reporter.

  Selcuk Colakoglu, director of Turkey’s Asia-Pacific Research Center, said that Turkey’s economy is too fragile to bear the consequences of increasingly tense political relations with the United States. After Biden’s statement, the exchange rate of the Turkish lira against the US dollar plummeted on Monday (April 26), which was close to the historical low and once fell to 8.425. If the relationship between the United States and Turkey is tense again, or the devaluation of the lira is accelerated, it will make Turkey’s economy worse.

  Although Biden’s statement made Turkey dissatisfied, coping with the epidemic is the top priority for the Turkish government at present. Since March, the epidemic situation in Turkey has turned sharply, and the number of newly confirmed cases in Turkey once exceeded 60,000. On April 29th, more than 4.7 million cases were diagnosed in Turkey, ranking fifth in the world. In the face of the severe epidemic situation, Turkey began to implement an uninterrupted "grounded order" for nearly three weeks from April 29th. In the face of a serious epidemic, the priority of Biden’s statement has also dropped.

  US Secretary of State: Turkey is a key ally, but the United States also wants to express differences.

  On April 28th, US Secretary of State Blinken told foreign media that Biden’s statement was to pay tribute to the victims, not to blame them.

  On the relationship between the United States and Turkey, Blinken said that Turkey is a key ally of the United States and NATO, and the two countries have cooperated in many international and regional affairs. He said: "Like most countries, we have differences. In order to show respect to Turkey, we clearly, directly and honestly show our differences. "

  △ US Secretary of State Blinken (data map)

  In fact, a week ago, Biden and Erdogan expressed their willingness to continue cooperation and manage differences during the call. The statement of the Information Bureau of the Turkish Presidential Office stated that the leaders of Turkey and the United States agreed on the strategic characteristics of bilateral relations and the importance of deepening cooperation on mutually beneficial issues. The White House statement said that Biden expressed interest in establishing constructive bilateral relations by expanding cooperation areas and effectively managing differences during the call.

  Many media in Turkey carefully analyzed Biden’s statement and found that the United States avoided pointing the finger directly at Turkey. Biden did not directly mention Turkey in his statement, and the main body of atrocities against Armenians mentioned in the statement was the Ottoman Empire. At the same time, the statement said that Armenian intellectuals and group leaders were arrested in Constantinople, without mentioning Istanbul. Constantinople is the capital of the Ottoman Empire and the old name of Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey.

  Turkey’s geographical position is of great strategic significance to the United States. The Bosporus Strait and the Da Daniil Strait are the throat arteries to enter the Black Sea. The United States is not a country bordering the Black Sea. According to the Montreux Treaty signed in 1936, American warships need to notify Turkey in advance when they enter the Black Sea. Previously, in view of the tense situation in Ukraine, the United States had planned to send destroyers Roosevelt and Donald Cook to enter the Black Sea via the Bosphorus Strait in Turkey, and stayed until early May.

  In addition, Ingeer Lik Air Force Base in Adana province in southeastern Turkey also played an important role in the United States’ fight against extremist organizations. The Turkish army is also an important force of NATO Coalition forces in Afghanistan.

  Analysts believe that Turkey and the United States are both NATO members with a long history of cooperation, and the relationship between the two countries is unlikely to fall apart. Although the two countries have differences on many issues, cooperation will continue.

"Flower Thousand Bones": From TV series to movies, why the popularity of IP is no longer popular


1905 movie network feature Directed by,,,,, and other starring Xianxia fantasy movie was released on January 20, 2024. The film tells the story of the girl Hua Qiangu’s struggle with fate all the way, finally finding herself, and harvesting pure love. The movie continues the original play of the original work, preparing to evoke the memories of the whole people’s pursuit of this master-disciple sadomasochism.



However, the movie version of "Hua Qiangu" has been sluggish since the official announcement. After the movie was released, the box office on the first day was less than 3 million, and the predicted box office was only about 20 million. Audiences who have seen the movie do not buy the quality of the movie, and even call it the first bad movie in 2024. Many people say it is "the first bad year".



In 2015, the TV series "Hua Qiangu" adapted from the novel of the same name, once broadcast, triggered a ratings boom, with popular actors, and set off a "Xianxia fever" across the country. The average audience rating of the TV series broke 2, and the audience share of the finale was as high as 50%. It broke the viewing record of China’s weekly broadcast drama. Why did the movie version "Hua Qiangu" "Love Tribulation" resurface after 8 years but no longer have a good reputation?


What’s wrong with "Hua Qiangu"?


Film critic Wu Yanyu gave her own opinion. From all aspects, she did not feel the sincerity of the film version "Hua Qiangu" as a movie.


The first is that the "Hua Qiangu" IP is basically out of popularity in 2024.



Before 2015, our audience saw more pure fairy fantasy works. At that time, in the form of a fairy and idol, "Flower Qiangu" pioneered the vertical type of "fairy puppet" and became the favorite film and television genre of young audiences at that time. By 2024, the audience had seen too many "fairy puppet" dramas and too many handsome men and beautiful women, so they were not so "cold" for this type of movie.



Secondly, in the casting, the audience was not satisfied with the casting of the male and female protagonists, and was questioned as "not immortal, very down-to-earth".



As a well-deserved protagonist in "Hua Qiangu", when Zhao Liying played this role, she was very smart and immersive, including the blackened performance in the later stage of the series. Zhao Liying could also perform a sense of contrast and bring the role of Hua Qiangu to life. Compared with the TV version of "Hua Qiangu", the make-up of the female protagonist Chen Turin in the film version was not as smart as Zhao Liying back then, and her acting skills were also quite different from Zhao Liying’s.



The image of the male protagonist Baizi painting is a relatively silent, thoughtful immortal, which is very suitable for the image of a relatively cold person. However, the ancient costume shape of Li Chengbin in the film version is too different from the image of Baizi painting in the minds of many audiences.



In addition, because of the length of the movie, the plot progression of the movie version also appears more blunt and sudden.


The relationship between Hua Qiangu and Baizi’s master and apprentice in the film and television drama was described at a long length, from the fact that the two could not fall in love, to the process of the two from the taboo to the final break, the gradual progression of the feelings would make the audience feel so moved.


However, in the movie, these two people broke the principle of "master and disciple taboo" very suddenly. In the movie, Bai Zihua was injured, and Hua Qiangu went to save him. Why did Hua Qiangu save his master? Where did their relationship start to grow? What did Hua Qiangu endure during the process of saving her master? How did the two "blacken"? How did they return to the right track after "blackening"? The movie unfolded in a hurry for more than ten minutes, and the screenwriter of the related plot of the two people’s emotional changes did not explain it, so the audience was also confused.



In the end, the special effects production was also quite shoddy, unable to match the audience’s expectations. Some viewers even commented that "CG network is at a high level, and webcasting is recommended".



A good Xianxia movie definitely has a relatively high threshold in terms of special effects, but judging from the level of special effects in this movie, it seems to be stuck at the same level as five years ago.



Therefore, from the film version of "Hua Qiangu", we can see that the popularity of IP will gradually decline, and the capital boom will gradually subside. If the creators of the film are not attentive, then as the audience said, the film may not really need to appear in the market.


The way out of the drama?


How to successfully create a second-generation film based on the drama version has become a problem that plagues filmmakers. As far as the "drama-to-film" model is concerned, it was very popular in the past few years. It was a pity that they did not achieve good reputation and box office results, and also consumed the trust of subsequent audiences in the entire "drama-to-film" category.



It can be said that it is more difficult to adapt a TV series into a movie than to create a brand new story. Although adaptations have a certain IP effect and have more advantages in publicity and marketing in the later stage, for film creation, adaptations are often constrained by the story of the series, the character setting, the actors and other parties, and the requirements for screenwriters and directors are higher.


Therefore, in order to meet the audience’s expectations, it is best to keep the original starring role in the movie remake project, but you can choose the behind-the-scenes production staff who are more familiar with the rules of film creation. At the same time, for an IP to carry out secondary creation, it must have some dialogue and combination with the current era and the current audience, and treat it with the most sincere and rigorous attitude, in order to make a second creation that is no less influential than its own IP.



The big IP that should have been getting hotter and hotter was getting colder and colder, from the empty alley to the lonely opening. In fact, the era of relying on reputation and attention has passed, and it is ultimately up to filmmakers to create movies with their hearts!


Linnei partners with "Dream Maker" Season 11 to create a healthier life

The 11th season of the popular variety show "Dream Transformer" created by Oriental Satellite TV will officially return on August 28. As a special cooperative sponsor and officially designated brand of kitchen appliances, hot water, heating and heat pump systems, Linnei once again joined hands with the main creative team to bring more families a comfortable, healthy and green home life experience through the perfect combination of technology and humanized design.

Looking back at the tenth season of the program, the "Dream Transformer" program team joined hands with Linnei to travel to Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and other cities, penetrating into different families and public welfare spaces, and carrying out humanized transformations to meet the demands of users in different regions, structures, and age groups.

In the renovation case of a century-old house on Changle Road, Shanghai, the old house is humid and cold, and the elderly often feel unwell because of the cold. In order to ensure the comfortable living environment of the client’s mother and daughter, the Linnei Zhihui cooling and heating system was selected. The system integrates winter heating and summer cooling, creating a comfortable life for them in the whole house in winter and summer. It starts from the feet in winter and is cool but not cold in summer, creating a comfortable and healthy elderly care space for the elderly.

In the Shanghai Jiangyin Street family renovation case, in response to the needs of caring for father and daughter members with ALS, effectively reducing the mother’s care burden in daily life, and improving home safety, the Linnei Double Anxin series safety stove was selected. The double stove heads are equipped with intelligent temperature sensors, which have functions such as intelligent timing and safety protection. Not only does it avoid safety hazards such as the mother being busy taking care of the family and drying the pot or accidentally turning off the flame without timely detection, but also saves the mother’s busy time in front of the stove. The Linnei full set of kitchen appliances selected in this case, including smoke stoves, dishwashers, steamers, water purifiers, etc., has created a senior-friendly modern kitchen space.

When renovating a three-generation family in Hangzhou, considering that the house is easy to get wet near the riverside, and the elderly father’s weak body needs a warm environment, Linnei specially customized the heating system solution – Oxygen Pro series wall-hung boilers and matching whole-house floor heating, bringing comfortable whole-house heating and domestic hot water for the elderly. Even in the wet and cold southern winter, it can ensure that heating and domestic hot water can be enjoyed at the same time. While bathing comfortably, the house is just as warm. Bringing the elderly a comfortable body feeling of warmth from the feet improves the comfort and aging of the whole house.

In the case of remodeling a century-old house on Fuxing West Road in Shanghai, due to the aging of the house, many water leaks, domestic water use is more difficult, and the water heater installed in the corridor is also extremely unsafe. In order to ensure the comfortable water experience of the mother and son, the Linnei Oxygen Pro series zero-cold water heater is selected. Its zero-cold water and double-water servo technology not only realizes that hot water is turned on immediately without waiting, but also uses constant temperature water, and it will not be scalded by hot water when bathing. The powerful cleaning power of the updated iteration of Micro-Nano Active Oxygen 2.0 technology also provides more protection for the health of the son, while reducing the daily housework burden of the mother.

From senior-friendly kitchen solutions to energy-efficient heating systems to whole-house healthy water systems, Linnei showcases his profound heritage and innovative strength in the field of home living, and interprets the infinite possibilities and warm power of "home" with practical actions.

In the eleventh season of "Dream Transformer", Linnei will continue to work in depth with the program team to explore more innovative transformation solutions, once again leveraging professional advantages, and tailor solutions to each family’s unique living needs and challenges.

In this season’s program, Linnei will bring the newly launched "Avenue" series of full-scene kitchen appliance solutions to meet different cooking needs and bring a more relaxed cooking experience; at the same time, the large-liter, safer gas water heater can not only bring surging water to users, but also achieve a comprehensive upgrade in safety performance, ensuring comfortable bathing while also escorting family safety.

In order to comprehensively enhance the user’s living experience, Linnei will also bring a more energy-efficient and comfortable heating system, which can achieve efficient heating while also providing comfortable domestic hot water. In addition, Linnei’s blockbuster product – the air source heat pump system solution for hot and cold water will also be used in the renovation case. This system integrates summer cooling, winter heating, and four-season hot water to help users meet the multiple needs of household hot water supply and indoor temperature regulation.

Linnei will continue to adhere to the brand concept of "creating a healthier lifestyle", maintain close cooperation with "Dream Renovation Home", continue to explore and innovate, and bring a more comfortable, healthy and green home life experience to more families. At the same time, Linnei will continue to pay attention to social development trends and changes in consumer demand, and is committed to becoming an important force in promoting the quality of home life.

From August 28th, every Wednesday at 22:00, Lin Nai invites you to lock in the 11th season of Dragon TV’s "Dream Transformer" and go to the beauty of life together.

Geely China Xingxingrui 1.5TD model added to the market.

On June 18th, 2023, the conference of "The First Station of China Star Travel China Exploration Plan and the New Listing of Xingrui 1.5TD Model" was held in Guangzhou. At the press conference, Xingruijia newly launched two versions of 1.5TD models, namely, the soaring version and the Kunlun version. The official guide prices were 108,700 yuan and 114,700 yuan respectively, which further met the diversified needs of users with sincere price rights and rich leapfrog high-value experience.

Drawing on the lion dance culture and carrying 1.5TD, Xingrui adds new products for users.

Since its birth, China Xing Xing Rui has always adhered to the principle of "taking users’ needs as the center", constantly subverting and advancing itself, and continuously creating high-quality flagship family cars for users. This time, Xingrui Boom Edition is a sincere work that quickly responds to the diversified needs of users. With different styles, different motivations and different experiences, it brings users double surprises of leapfrog products and value-for-money prices.

Based on many users’ strong demand for diversified power, Xingrui Boom Edition is equipped with a new generation of Geely Jinqiang 1.5TD high-efficiency engine, with a maximum power of 133KW, a maximum torque of 290N·m and a comprehensive fuel consumption of only 6.2L per 100 kilometers, which perfectly balances users’ requirements for driving quality and high efficiency and economy. The power system is not only professionally adjusted according to urban road conditions, but also meets the daily needs of users. It also has CMA’s unique drive-by-wire chassis technology, four-wheel independent suspension, China-Europe joint professional chassis adjustment, ZF DP-EPS steering assist system, etc., which can bring users a high-quality driving experience that is both dynamic and economical, intelligent and comfortable.

At the same time, the contemporary young people are also a generation with great confidence in Chinese culture. In order to meet their emotional and spiritual needs for automobiles, Xingrui Boom Edition actively explores the co-creation and integration of "China traditional culture and modern automobile technology". From the naming of "Boom" to the brand-new design of "adopting green" exclusive car color and enjoying the cockpit with the wisdom of stars, it has been innovatively integrated with the traditional lion dance culture and color culture inspiration elements in China, and it has also been endowed with "profit, good luck and good luck".

While actively embracing users’ needs, Xingrui Boom Edition continues the high-value gene of "China Family Car Subverter", constantly bringing users a leapfrog experience with large space, high intelligence and high security. In addition to the large space brought by the leading 2800mm long wheelbase and 1869mm ultra-wide body at the same level, Xingrui Boom Edition is also equipped with rich intelligent technologies such as Galaxy OS system, 540 transparent chassis of God’s Eye, Bluetooth key +APP remote control system, and advanced safety configurations such as G-clean intelligent ecological health circle, AQS air quality management system, CN95 high-efficiency composite air conditioning filter element and advanced leather antibacterial steering wheel, creating a luxurious and comfortable space with full sense of science and technology.

In addition to the whirlwind version, in order to better meet users’ demand for richer configurations, Xingrui has also introduced a 1.5TD Kunlun version, which adopts different configuration combinations such as 12.3-inch LCD instrument, co-driver’s electric seat, and dual-lens LED headlights, as well as personalized sports kits such as 18-inch wheels, red calipers, sports tail, and four exhaust, with different styles and equipment, further enriching the product matrix and providing users with diversified choices.

The incarnation of the "lion" is booming, and Xingrui shines again on the hard-core strength of "fast, tough and stable"

This time, the first stop of "China Star Travel China Exploration Plan" went deep into Guangzhou, the hinterland of Lingnan culture. Xingrui inherited the essence of lion dance culture, not only newly launched a 1.5TD model, but also successfully challenged the "high-speed flying car" as a "lion" a few days ago, and interpreted the hard-core quality of Xingrui’s "fast, tough and stable" in an all-round way with a wonderful and visually shocking sensory feast.

Just like the traditional culture of lion dance in China, the test is the tacit cooperation between the lion head and the lion tail, as well as the deep foundation of the lion dancer’s flexibility, speed, stability and proficiency. Xingrui’s challenge of leaping over the conventional high platform is also a rigorous test of comprehensive mechanical qualities such as "vehicle horsepower, acceleration performance, driving and control stability, 1.5-ton vehicle weight and matching degree of power system". It is necessary to pass the three-stage test of "60-meter straight limit acceleration -28-meter slope rapid climbing -7-meter-high platform flying for 6 meters before landing".

Wandering between adventure and limit requires not only courage, but also the confidence given by CMA’s world-class leading architecture technology. As the high-end flagship sedan of China Star CMA in the era of Geely 4.0 architecture, Xingrui inherits the world’s top safety performance, leading electronic and electrical architecture, high-performance surging power and other excellent genes, and stimulates endless driving potential. In the course of the challenge, with the perfect cooperation of Drive-E 2.0TD engine and 7DCT wet dual clutch, the turbine can intervene when the engine is 1000rpm, and the peak torque can reach 300 N m at 1400rpm. The unique supercharging mode at the same level can also output an additional 30N·m, and accelerate the "starting" through a short 60-meter straight road, and quickly sprint uphill.

After climbing the hill, Xingrui Power accelerates with tenacity. The engine can output a long and wide peak torque of 300N·m in the range of 1400-4000rpm, and the whole climbing process is strong and does not decay. It accelerates to sprint the 28-meter-long slope, and the maximum climbing degree reaches 30%. After leaping in the air, based on the high torsional stiffness of 29 000 N m/deg and the cage-type body design, Xingrui can not only maintain a stable and elegant posture when picking green in the air, but also withstand the gravity and impact force when landing. The independent suspension of the front and rear four wheels keeps the body posture to the maximum extent, and with Italian ITT copper-free brake pads, it can achieve smooth braking within 34.66 meters and help to land stably. The whole process is flowing smoothly and in one go, and the smart body shows the essence of the lion dance, with beautiful posture and cleanliness, and successfully completes the impossible challenge!

China is full of stars and splendors! Deducing technical self-confidence with the momentum of "lion" and subverting product value with the power of "boosting and adopting youth", Xingrui quickly gained the trust and recognition of more than 300,000 users with its subversive strength, and through the co-creation and integration of "China traditional culture and modern automobile technology", it successfully broke the brand barrier and continuously led China automobile value upward. It is believed that in the future, Xingrui will continue to shoulder the mission of fighting for the value of China’s automobiles, draw strength from the excellent traditional Chinese culture, pay tribute to the accumulated great country culture with pioneering technology, lead China’s automobiles to make an upward breakthrough with courage, and let the world see the rising Chinese power!

Ren Zhengfei gave Yu Chengdong a blow.

This article comes from WeChat WeChat official account:Alphabet list (id: wujicaijing), Author: Zhao Jinjie, brother Yu, title map from: vision china.

The three-year contract of not building a car is about to expire. Just as the outside world is speculating about when Huawei brand cars will be unveiled, Ren Zhengfei stood up and made a final decision: "In the next five years, Huawei will not build a car."

Xu Zhijun, the rotating chairman, confirmed this at the press conference of Huawei’s 2022 annual report on March 31, saying that the five-year period is because the longest validity period of all Huawei documents is only five years."After the five-year deadline has arrived, we will send another five years."

"Huawei’s strategy has not changed. We don’t build cars, help car companies build good cars, and become an incremental component supplier of intelligent networked electric vehicles." Regarding the replacement of Huawei’s brand, Xu Zhijun said, "Some of our departments or some individuals or some partners are abusing Huawei’s brand, and Huawei has been investigating."

In order to prevent Huawei’s brand influence, which has been built for more than 30 years, from being abused, Ren Zhengfei clearly stipulated in the document that Huawei logo can’t be used in combination with automobile trademarks, and "Huawei asks the world" and "HUAWEI AITO" are prohibited. "Huawei is starting to clean up and rectify flagship stores, sales stores and promotional materials that do not meet the requirements." Xu Zhijun said.

This is undoubtedly a blow to Yu Chengdong who wants to lead the radical development of automobile business through Huawei Eco-car. At the launch conference of Huawei P60 series a week ago, Yu Chengdong was still promoting the upcoming M5 advanced intelligent driving version with the help of the brand influence of "Huawei Jiejie".

On March 8 this year, under the leadership of Yu Chengdong, "AITO asking the world" was officially changed to "HUAWEI asking the world", which was regarded by the outside world as an important signal for Huawei to strengthen its leading position in the automobile business.

In the planning of Yu Chengdong, Huawei is the brand of "Huawei Eco-car". By uniting a number of car companies to build eco-alliances belonging to different price segments, Yu Chengdong hopes that Huawei’s auto business will be profitable in 2025.

It is worth noting that in February this year, in the poster released by AITO official blog, the logo was once changed from AITO to HUAWEI, and the external publicity speech was also changed from "Huawei’s deep empowerment" to "Huawei’s overall leadership".

This is not the first time that Ren Zhengfei has "stepped on the brakes" for Huawei’s auto business.

In 2018, after Huawei held its annual strategy meeting in Sanya, Hainan, and decided to "not build cars, but help car companies build good cars", the voice of wanting to build cars was still filled inside. At that time, Xu Zhijun, the rotating chairman of Huawei, was considered as the key to promote Huawei’s smart car BU from scratch. According to the news from the media science and technology forces, Xu Zhijun has been pushing Huawei to enter the automotive field, and even made no secret of his conflict with other executives and even Ren Zhengfei.

One month after Huawei BU was handed over to Yu Chengdong in October 2019, Ren Zhengfei issued the document "Resolution on the Management of Smart Car Parts Business", which made it clear that "whoever proposes to build a car in the future and interferes with the company can be transferred from his post and find another post", and gave a three-year ban period.

In July, 2021, Xu Zhijun revealed that only Yu Chengdong in Huawei was still unconvinced and still wanted to build a car. "But he only had one vote. For Huawei’s senior team, it is clear what to do and what not to do in the survival stage. "

Apart from stopping Yu Chengdong’s radical move, Huawei’s financial difficulties may also be one of the reasons why Ren Zhengfei is unwilling to build more cars.

The financial report shows that Huawei’s revenue in 2022 was 642.3 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of only 0.9%, and its net profit fell to 35.6 billion yuan, a year-on-year plunge of 68.7%.

Figure/Huawei Financial Report

"In 2023 and for a long time to come, sustainable survival and development will be the core proposition of Huawei’s strategy." Xu Zhijun said.

Huawei’s overall revenue is reaching a bottleneck. Since 2017, the growth of the carrier business that started from it has stagnated, with the year-on-year growth rate hovering between -4.03% and 3.8%. In 2022, Huawei achieved sales revenue of 284 billion yuan in the field of operator business, with a year-on-year increase of only 0.9%, which was basically the same.

The terminal business achieved a sales revenue of 214.5 billion yuan in 2022, down 11.9% year-on-year.

The only Huawei enterprise business that can be called substantial growth achieved sales revenue of 133.2 billion yuan, up 30.1% year-on-year, but it only accounted for 20.7% of the total revenue, and it has not yet become a new pillar to support Huawei’s stable development.

Faced with the slowdown of Huawei’s revenue growth, Ren Zhengfei gave an early warning as early as last August, and issued a document entitled "The management policy of the whole company should shift from the pursuit of scale to the pursuit of profit and cash flow", saying that based on the prediction that the global economy will continue to decline in the next decade, it is required to reduce or close those businesses that cannot generate value and profit, and link the promotion and upgrading of bonuses with the operating results, shouting the slogan "Let the chill pass to everyone".

As the only business that Huawei is still losing money, BU, led by Yu Chengdong, bears the brunt.According to the spirit of Ren Zhengfei’s instructions in the document, Huawei’s automobile business will no longer pursue a complete front, reduce the research budget, but also strengthen the closed-loop business and focus on several key components to make competitiveness.

For Ren Zhengfei’s series of adjustment measures, Wu Jianguo, former vice president of Huawei’s human resources, told the alphabet list that the weakening of the global consumer side will inevitably lead to the extension of Huawei’s cycle of coming back to life, which also means that Huawei needs to make greater adjustments than responding to the US crackdown. "(before 2022)It’s not so clear, but now it’s finally guaranteed.(The trend of economic recession)Ren Zhengfei dared to clearly stand up and adjust the strategy. "

Although Car BU is still regarded by Ren Zhengfei as a core project that can maintain strategic investment, under the guidance of the highest policy of bidding farewell to scale growth and turning to profit creation, Huawei’s automobile business obviously can no longer simply change scale with losses, and Yu Chengdong needs to find a balance between growth and making money.

What’s more, from the reality of the development of new car-making forces, except Tesla, the second new car-making company that can achieve annual profit has not yet been born in the world. Even Tesla has experienced high-intensity capital investment for more than ten years. Short-term high losses caused by going off to build a car in person, bothContrary to the pursuit of profit advocated by Ren Zhengfei, it is not allowed by Huawei’s current revenue reality..

If we continue to concentrate on building cars, more and more car companies may be wary of Huawei and choose to escape from Huawei.

GAC has become another car company that announced its "breakup" with Huawei.. On the evening of March 27th, Guangzhou Automobile Group announced that the company’s holding subsidiary Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an AH8 project was changed from joint development with Huawei to independent development.

This also means that since the two sides reached a joint car-building agreement in 2021, Huawei’s role has changed from the Huawei Inside model of deep cooperation to the most basic component supplier model.

Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an’s dissatisfaction with Huawei has long been traceable. At the 19th China Automobile Marketing Summit in August last year, Xiao Yong, deputy general manager of GAC Ai ‘an, once spoke out: "It may not only be batteries, but Huawei is also a big-name supplier, and its price is relatively high and uncontrolled. If we want to cooperate with Huawei, we will find that there is basically no bargaining power."

Xiao Yong said that while maintaining cooperation with Huawei, Guangzhou Automobile is carrying out self-research on battery technology and building a battery factory, and is striving to build a self-research system in terms of core technologies, domain controllers and intelligent cockpits. "Walking on two legs … In the future, 30% of Aeon will conduct self-research and 70% will choose market procurement and cooperation".

There is also SAIC that is far away from Huawei because of fear of losing its dominance.Chen Hong, the chairman of SAIC, who doesn’t want Huawei to be its "soul", made it clear at the 2021 shareholders’ meeting that SAIC can’t accept the overall solution of any supplier, and at most, it will maintain a cooperative relationship.

Even in the eyes of the outside world, Cyrus, which maintains the closest relationship with Huawei, has also started to stand on its own feet.

According to the interface report, Huawei has the initiative in three aspects: all closed-loop data, calibration of important vehicle parameters and main sales channels. The car data related to the world will be uploaded to Huawei first, and Celeste will have to ask Huawei for the demand first if necessary.

In order to enhance the control of data, Cyrus began to set up its own relevant team to collect and analyze data.

On March 30th, Chongqing Sailisi Landian Automobile Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Sailisi Group, officially released a brand-new new energy vehicle brand-Landian, and launched its first product, Landian E5, which no longer uses Huawei’s electric drive platform and HarmonyOS cockpit.

Instead, it is BYD’s Foday electric hybrid scheme, including 1.5L high-efficiency plug-in special engine and DHT300 electric hybrid system. On the car plane, only HUAWEI HiCar 3.0 is supported, and the HarmonyOS cockpit, which Huawei prides itself on, is no longer adopted by Cyrus.

Obviously, unlike the pursuit of "Chinese content" by the brand in the world, the brand of Blue Power cultivated by Cyrus itself is "going to Huawei".

According to an insider of Celestial, "the sales revenue of the brand in the world is incorporated into the financial report of Celestial listed companies, and Huawei is divided according to the supplier model. Although it seems that Huawei’s participation is very high, in fact, the sharing model is completely based on suppliers. " According to the previously released financial report, in 2022, Sailis expects to achieve a net loss of about 3.5 billion to 3.95 billion yuan, which is significantly larger than the loss of 1.824 billion yuan in the same period of last year, showing a situation of no increase in income.

The more you sell, the more you lose. It is precisely because in the process of cooperation with Huawei, Cyrus has invested excessive funds in R&D and manufacturing. This level of investment exceeds the traditional "foundry model". The bottomless investment makes the cooperation model between Cyrus and Huawei difficult to be copied for a time. The above-mentioned Celeste insiders revealed, "For Huawei, I definitely hope that like Celeste, I can work and actively cooperate, and I am willing to spend more and more money."

In addition, the current sales decline of the car industry has made the car companies waiting to see more hesitant. In December last year, the car industry was able to sell 10,134 cars, but in January this year, it dropped to 4,475 cars by diving. I thought this was affected by the Spring Festival holiday, but in February, the sales volume of the car industry further fell to 3,505 cars. According to insiders of Sailis, "HUAWEI recently changed AITO to Huawei. In fact, there is also a lot of sales pressure. This year, the whole situation has changed a little.(Huawei)Sales can’t go up, and we can’t even talk about going out for negotiations. "

After basically bidding farewell to the orders of new forces such as "Wei Xiaoli", it is obviously more important for Huawei BU, which is determined to be "Bosch" in the new energy era, to make a clear declaration of not making cars, and to win more high-quality cooperation from traditional car companies by dispelling the doubts of partners.

Compared with overweight automobile business, it is undoubtedly more urgent and important to maintain the stability of Huawei’s existing business.

Since it was included in the "Entity List" in May 2019, the United States has continuously stepped up its pressure on China enterprises including Huawei: in August 2022, the US Department of Commerce burned EDA software, ultra-wide band-gap semiconductor materials and pressure gain.(PGC)And other four technologies to implement new export controls; At the end of January this year, the United States reached an agreement with the Netherlands and Japan to restrict the export of advanced chip manufacturing equipment to China, further suppressing China’s chip industry chain; In February, Bloomberg, Reuters, etc. broke the news again that the US government is considering cutting off all contacts between American suppliers and Huawei, and stopping issuing licenses of key chip manufacturers such as Intel and Qualcomm, such as 4G, Wi-Fi 6/Wi-Fi 7, artificial intelligence, high-performance computing and cloud projects.

Once these measures are implemented, Huawei will completely cut off the supply from the part before 2023. In addition to the unsustainable development of Huawei’s terminal services such as mobile phones and notebooks, the high-order intelligent driving solution ADS, which is the mainstay of Huawei’s Hi model, will also lose its competitive advantage in the industry because it cannot obtain sustained and stable high-computing chips.

In order to break the technical blockade, Huawei launched a domestic alternative development campaign around three R&D production lines of hardware, software and chip development.

Combined with the recent speeches made by Ren Zhengfei and Xu Zhijun, Huawei has successively completed ERP.(Enterprise Resource Management)Software, and localization of EDA tools above 14nm.

"We completed the replacement development of 13,000+devices and the repeated board replacement development of 4,000+circuit boards in three years … until now, our circuit boards have stabilized because we have domestic parts." Ren Zhengfei said.

However, at the annual report conference on March 31, Xu Zhijun corrected the above information, saying that it was not three years, but it actually took Huawei nearly 10 years to complete some replacement work.

But for Huawei, which wants to return to the leading position in the industry, these alternatives are far from enough.Taking chips as an example, Apple, Samsung, etc. are already matching the 4nm process. For Huawei, which has just broken through the 14nm EDA tool, there are still many key process nodes such as 10nm, 7nm, 5nm, etc., and the smaller the process, the greater the R&D investment resources it consumes.

As Xu Zhijun said, "Although we have made a lot of breakthroughs in product development tools in recent years, we still face many challenges, and there are many product development tools that have not completely broken through, which requires us to work non-stop and redouble our efforts."

The self-developed software business has become one of Huawei’s key breakthrough directions in 2023.

However, Car BU, which was originally born to make up for the deficit caused by the decline of mobile phone business, is still the most promising sector for Huawei to become a new growth point at present, under the circumstance that Huawei’s two revenue pillar terminals BG and operator BG either have a decline in revenue or their revenue reaches a bottleneck.

This may also be the reason why Ren Zhengfei did not directly announce that he would never build a car. After waiting for five years, Huawei solved the problem of localization substitution in the field of software and hardware, and it may not be impossible to put the car on the table in person.

Those funny jokes

In the public toilet, I suddenly heard someone say, "Friend, do you have toilet paper?" I rummaged through my pockets and replied, "Sorry,no." After a few seconds, the man asked again, "Friend, do you have a small piece of newspaper?" I smiled helplessly and replied, "Sorry, no, I just came to pee." A few seconds later, a 10 yuan RMB was stuffed under the door of the toilet and asked, "Friend, can you break it into 10 pieces?" I silently took out 10 steel jumpers and handed them over.

In a dark night, Lao Wang drove home halfway, only to see a woman taking a taxi, and her voice was extremely sad: take a taxi, take a taxi. Lao Wang let her get on the bus. Neither of them spoke along the way. When the station arrived, the woman spoke: Have an apple! thank you Lao Wang said. Then the woman spoke again: Is it delicious? Delicious. Lao Wang promised. The woman went on to say: I liked this kind of apple best before my death.

When Lao Wang heard this, he was so scared that he peed his pants and ran away. Who knows, the woman went on to say, but I don’t like eating after giving birth.

The Zen master was meditating when he met a thief with a big knife rest around his neck. Mao thief: "Take out all your money" Zen master: "Money is a thing outside your body. If you live or die, don’t take it with you." Mao thief: "This is your lifelong alms." Zen master: "Buddha said that you and I have a cause in previous lives, so we got today’s fruit." Mao thief: "I have a deep sin. Can Zen master cross me?" Zen master: "Yes"

    Kane hopes to solve his desire for the championship, and transfer rumors have been raised all the time.

    Kane hopes to solve his desire for the championship, and transfer rumors have been raised all the time.

    Stay at Tottenham Hotspur and continue to cooperate with Sun Xingmin?

    Tottenham Hotspur is in a central position, and he may miss Sun Xingmin’s soul partner harry kane.

    Kane hopes to solve his desire for the championship, and transfer rumors have been raised.

    Kane may leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer and win the championship trophy.

    Tottenham Hotspur launched an arrest operation when their contract with Kane expired in June 2024, but it is generally analyzed that they lack the name of persuasion.

    Tottenham Hotspur’s slump has lost the hope of next season’s Champions League, and the Europa League is unlikely. This is also the reason why Kane’s transfer rumors are flexible, because of the connection with Manchester United and Bayern Munich.

    Dimitar Berbatov, from Tottenham Hotspur, believes that Kane’s legacy is to stay, not to transfer.

    Berbatov said through the British media "90min": "I don’t think Kane will leave Tottenham. At Tottenham Hotspur, his legacy will not be too big to be stained. He will not be allowed to do so, and he is expected to stay.

    Then when you say "Tottenham", you will think of Kane. The first thing that comes to mind "Everything he did was incredible," he said.
