What’s new about this "tenon-and-mortise" new landmark?

Innovation is the driving force of urban development. Kaiwu Innovation Building, located in the west of Hangzhou, is a Class A office building with innovative temperament. It was developed by Xihu Investment, a veteran state-owned enterprise in Xihu District, Hangzhou, and Hangzhou Vanke. It took four years to design and build, and finally completed this "new landmark" like mortise and tenon.

Let’s talk specifically, where is it "new"?

Like a building block, break the conventional shape.

This is a building that pays attention to the integration of meaning and form.

On the one hand, its appearance is highly recognizable, and it is not a common "glass box" style. From a distance, it looks like a patchwork of building blocks, and it looks like a mortise and tenon of a traditional building. Through the mutual engagement of parts, it forms a solid whole. The name "Kaiwu" comes from the first encyclopedia in ancient China, Tiangong Kaiwu, hoping to borrow old things to tell new things and "connect" cities, regions and people with one building.

Although it is not the "highest, largest and most expensive" emphasized by general landmarks, it is impressive with its unique and lively urban expression.

Tenon-mortise principle

Architectural concept map

The real-life map of Kaiwu Innovation Building looks like a traditional mortise and tenon in China.

On the other hand, behind the appearance is an insight into the "office trend" and a reflection on "efficiency and humanity". The scattered space forms can meet the needs of enterprises of different scales and stages, increase the line of sight between indoor space and outdoor environment, and create an open space with a sense of leisure. This can not only make employees full of energy at work, but also feel the fun of city life after work.

Ancient wisdom and modern life have completed a new exchange.

Strong visual tension is formed through the deconstruction and reorganization of the volume.

The details of the facade are real, and the light gray metal is quite textured.

Like a plug-in, integrate into the operation of the city.

This is a building that "merges into the city".

If the city is regarded as an operating system, the information can be transmitted quickly through the connection of traffic. The building is adjacent to the exit of Xialongwei Station of Metro Line 2, about 500 meters away from Sanba Station. Shi Xiang Road connects Liushi Expressway to run through the east and west of Hangzhou, and Zijingang Road connects Zizhi Tunnel to the south to reach Binjiang and Zhijiang Zhuantang. In addition, the building overlooks the Zijin Campus of Zhejiang University, is opposite to the Cambridge Commune, and is about 800 meters away from the Grand Canal Park. Its walking environment is relatively mature.

The building is open to the city, and entrances and exits are set in different directions. The vacant east square can accept the people flow from the nearby subway station and commercial center, and there is a basement entrance and bicycle parking space conspicuously. Although the south boundary is close to the main road of Shenhua Road, it broadens the site scale and strengthens the interaction between the building and the city through the "concave" urban stairs and platforms. In addition, for municipal reasons, a three-dimensional social parking lot has been built within the plot to make parking more convenient and free.

Like a park, it provides moderate openness.

Another highlight is that it provides an open space for daily life in series.

At present, in addition to salary, employees pay more and more attention to the soft benefits provided by office space, so social attributes and flexibility are the key to future office work. The future office is no longer a fixed station, but a place that should stimulate team creativity and strengthen team cooperation, and it is also a community where employees socialize daily.

Different from the compact and serious planning of general office buildings with less green space, Kaiwu Innovation Building hollows out a large area of gray space, and comprehensively creates multiple office spaces such as shared large steps, terraces, balconies, accessible roofs and landscape office boxes. 1-4F of the building is an external vitality sharing floor, which extends from work to coffee, retail, social interaction, leisure and other formats, thus bringing "full-scene office" service to the settled enterprises and forming a harmonious atmosphere with the surrounding campus and residential areas.

The real-life map of open space provides more possibilities: office is no longer limited to indoor and office function itself.

AaaM, the construction team, has planted multi-level greening and leisure space in the previous loft49 office project. This time, the sharing step draws on The Commons, the commercial benchmark of Thai communities, to create a pleasant and amiable office community atmosphere.

Through the 1-4F layer-by-layer concession, the building creates an upward momentum, arouses people’s enthusiasm for actively approaching the building, and also forms an organic effect of gradual infiltration of urban landscape. The building uses steps and platforms to expand the area of outdoor space and carry rich daily functions such as transportation, sightseeing, rest and temporary office.

This design technique also enhances the externality of "non-first-floor business", and can also increase the appeal of its catering by swinging outward. Because the platform is large enough and covered by the roof, it will not affect the use even in midsummer or rainy season, and provide support for enterprises to hold various exhibitions and activities.

The gray space here is creating an atmosphere of "communion". Plants everywhere bring a natural atmosphere, and chairs with various postures provide a rich sense of body. White-collar workers can wander on the steps at noon or after work to relax their body and mind; Visitors can buy a cup of coffee, lean over the road and feel the sunshine kiss; Students and residents nearby can also participate in activities in the park freely, watch exhibitions, lectures and performances, and enjoy the benefits brought by urban development.

In low-rise buildings, the facade of shops, the floor of platforms, and even furniture sketches are mostly in light and dark pixel plaid language, but through the change of size and proportion, a sense of hierarchy is made in unity, creating a modern and fashionable urban temperament.

The inner wall of the atrium is made of orange grille material, which contrasts with the light-colored city facade and outlines the outline of the core. Here, enterprises can get complete supporting support, employees can relax after work, Zhejiang University students and surrounding residents can naturally step into the venue, and finally form a lively and warm community.

Like a college, promote the birth of creativity.

The design team told us that this place can be regarded as a "creative school".

The interior of the building is as vivid as the exterior. The design team hopes that this is a diverse and inclusive place, so the project has broken through the setting of "standard floor" and inspired creative inspiration from the diverse space. According to the plan, 1-3F here is for shops & small and medium-sized enterprises, 3-9F is for small and medium-sized enterprises, and 10-14F is for headquarters office. Each floor is not the same, so that each enterprise can have its own "exclusive personality space". How exactly is this achieved?

The building provides a 270-degree wide view through four landscape office boxes; In general office buildings, enterprises will be separated by "floors", but the high atrium strengthens the lighting and creates the possibility of eye contact; By providing planes with different areas, enterprises with different scales and development stages can be satisfied, forming a diversified enterprise composition; Some floors have also set up balcony space, that is, "Zhejiang University Observatory", which gives people positive psychological hints. Even the outdoor platform of 3F can be linked indoors, for example, providing the possibility of outdoor teaching for dance training institutions.

Each floor plan is different. Examples of plans of 8F and 12F.

And architecture and space itself have also become the media of creativity. In addition to architects, designers of different categories, such as landscape, interior and vision, also use the same design language throughout, so that the "tenon and mortise elements" can be implemented on the scale of closeness and walking, and creativity can be perceived through daily behavior. The light gray large steps are embedded with wood materials with a more temperature sense, and the tenon-mortise style is continued. Even the square floor and indoor and outdoor signs are inspired by tenon-mortise elements.

Here, from the beginning, we must break through the convention and implant creativity into our daily experience.

Part05.

Like instruments, every place is ingenious.

After more than 1500 days and nights of polishing, Kaiwu Innovation Building looks like a precision instrument that can be turned on at any time. In order to put innovation into every detail, different types of work such as architecture, landscape, structure, equipment, construction and operation work together.

Night view map

For example, overcoming construction difficulties: the largest single glass weighs 1.5 tons and its size is 1.8m×9m, which is three times that of conventional glass; There are many twists and turns in the facade, and the grille is irregular. There are more than 140 installation process detail nodes in total. Reduce building energy consumption: The vertical sunshade member used in the east and west facades rotates at 45 degrees, and the interlayer aluminum plate with horizontal angle can control the sun angle. At the same time, the integrated window system is adopted to reduce the overall energy consumption. Innovative floodlight design: use the indoor self-contained lighting, through ultra-white glass (high transmittance, but low ultraviolet transmittance, common in high-end office and business), showing the effect of luminous box from the inside out.

Kaiwu Innovation Building raises the lobby by about 9.6 meters to match the gas field of the corporate headquarters; Equipped with 3+1 Hitachi brand elevators, vertical commuting efficiency; About 4 meters high office standard, the scale is open and free to stretch; VRF air conditioning+fresh air system is adopted to ensure the permanent health of the office environment; About 10CM grid floor is convenient for the secondary decoration of enterprises, and the pipe arrangement and wiring are more free.

The building also hired Wanwu Lianghang, which was jointly established by Vanke Property and dtz Qiangqiang, to provide 7×24H professional commercial property services for the settled enterprises.

It is not difficult to find that the "new landmark" interpreted by Kaiwu Innovation Building does not stop at one or two design highlights, but innovates from the aspects of urban trends, application scenarios and low-carbon technologies, and creates a comprehensive office project with a focus on the present and a more future-oriented perspective through comprehensive upgrading of concepts, planning, space and services. In the future, the building will give play to the power of new standards in the form of innovation, connect the innovative people, resources and formats of the city, and promote the development of the region and the city.

The giants "compete", what signals are released by the top 500 list? What is the "real skill"?

  [Economic Interface]  

  After several autumn rains, Beijing is cooler. Recently, the autumn campus recruitment of many companies has started one after another. In the eyes of some job-seeking students, the title of the world’s top 500 is an important "plus item".

  Not long ago, the Fortune Global 500 list was released in 2021, and 143 China companies including State Grid, PetroChina, Sinopec, China Construction, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Mobile, JD.COM, Alibaba, Tencent, Lenovo and Xiaomi were on the list. Why are these giants among the top 500 in the world? What is its "real skill"? What are the future prospects? The reporter conducted an interview on this.

  1. Show "bright eyes" and walk to the forefront of the world in some fields.

  [data]

  This year’s Top 500 list shows that there are 18 China companies newly listed or re-listed, including China Shipbuilding, New Hope, Weichai Power and China Resources Land. China’s companies, which are among the top 500 companies in the world in 2021, have not only expanded their advantages in quantity, but also improved their business conditions in horizontal comparison.

  There are seven Internet companies on the list this year, including four from China, namely JD.COM, Alibaba, Tencent and Xiaomi, and their rankings have all improved compared with last year.

  Why is there the largest number of Internet giants in China on the list? Li Yongjian, a researcher in national academy of economic strategy, said in an interview with this reporter that China’s netizen base is large, and by December 2020, the number of netizens in China was 989 million, which makes China’s Internet enterprises have natural advantages in scale expansion and their operating income will naturally be high. The implementation of the policy of speeding up and reducing fees in China has released the potential consumption power of netizens; At the same time, China has a super-large domestic market. These "dividends" have laid a good foundation for Internet companies to be among the top 500 companies in the world.

  Li Yongjian believes that China’s Internet companies have formed a relatively perfect industrial ecology. For example, in addition to making mobile phones, Xiaomi also makes smart homes; JD.COM involves not only e-commerce, but also health and logistics. The same is true for companies such as Alibaba and Tencent. A sound industrial ecology can keep it growing rapidly.

  Of course, judging from this year’s list, it is not just Internet companies that are "bright".

  "Some listed companies such as State Grid have shown strong strength in terms of patent holdings." Li Yongjian said that China has many advanced technologies and applications in the fields of UHV transmission and high-speed rail, and its innovation capability has been continuously improved. Many enterprises have accumulated a lot of money and have reached the forefront of the world in some fields.

  Qin Hailin, a researcher at China Electronics and Information Industry Development Research Institute, told the reporter that since China surpassed the United States for the first time in 2019 and became the country with the largest number of listed companies, the number of enterprises shortlisted in the world’s top 500 has been increasing, the business level of enterprises has been continuously improved, and the leading edge has been further expanded. In 2021, the average sales revenue, profit, sales return rate and return on net assets of listed enterprises in China are higher than the average level of the world’s top 500 enterprises.

  "This has a considerable relationship with China taking the lead in controlling the epidemic and taking the lead in resuming work." Qin Hailin said that during the epidemic last year, the global economic situation was not optimistic, and China was the only major economy in the world that achieved positive economic growth. Although China’s industrial chain supply chain has been impacted to some extent, a relatively complete industrial system and a huge potential domestic demand market have promoted the sustained recovery of the macro-economy and the stable development of market players.

  Sheng Chaoxun, director and researcher of the Strategic Policy Office of China Macroeconomic Research Institute, said that since the beginning of this year, China’s economic operation has been stable and consolidated, stable and good, in line with expectations. The high-tech manufacturing industry and equipment manufacturing industry grew rapidly, the manufacturing structure was further optimized, investment was accelerated, online retail and holiday travel consumption increased rapidly, and employment and prices remained stable, creating good economic operating conditions for enterprises to resume development.

  "China vigorously develops the real economy, pays attention to helping small and medium-sized enterprises, stimulates the vitality of all kinds of enterprises, and enhances the endogenous motivation of economic growth." Sheng Chaoxun said that China adheres to the "two unwavering" principle, protects the legitimate rights and interests of private enterprises, reduces the production and operation costs of private enterprises, solves the financing problems of private enterprises, enhances the confidence of private entrepreneurs, expands the development space of private enterprises, and the development environment of enterprises continues to improve. The positive signal of this year’s list is not only a vivid portrayal of China’s stable economy, but also the best footnote for the high-quality development of Chinese enterprises.

  2. There are still shortcomings, and you can’t "tail up" because of large production capacity.

  [data]

  According to statistics, in the field of information and communication technology industry, 19 related companies in the United States entered this year’s list, while only 9 companies in China. At the same time, some people think that although some China companies are on the list, their competitiveness is not strong, and they lack innovative products, core components and software.

  "Although there are a large number of China’s top 500 enterprises, there are not many enterprises whose innovation ability can really reach the world’s leading position. We still have a big gap in some core technologies, key raw materials and equipment. " Li Yongjian said that even in some advantageous areas, China’s related enterprises have great production capacity, but some key parts still depend on imports.

  Li Yong insisted that some enterprises can enter the list because they have reached the relevant threshold by relying on market advantages or capital advantages to some extent, and they need to be further strengthened in key core technological innovations. "Don’t think that an enterprise’s high market share is very powerful, and it can’t be ‘ Cock one’s tail ’ It should be noted that we still have many shortcomings in terms of innovation ability and profitability. " He said.

  "The main evaluation criterion of Fortune Global 500 is scale, but large scale does not mean strong competitiveness." Sheng Chaoxun told reporters that many enterprises in China will start the diversification process after they reach a certain stage of development. Some are based on the vertical extension of the industrial chain, and some are engaged in cross-border operations, entering new fields and investing in industries unrelated to their main business, such as real estate and hotels. This will help to promote the large-scale development of enterprises and reduce the market risk in a single field, but it will also cause problems such as insufficient innovation and "not specialized, not refined and not detailed" in industrial development, which is far behind the international leading enterprises.

  Many enterprises have realized this problem. In the interview and investigation, the reporter found that some enterprises are accelerating the transformation to innovative enterprises, but they still face many pain points and difficulties.

  "It is difficult to break through key core technologies." Sheng Chaoxun said that at present, China is in the stage of transforming from technology introduction, digestion, absorption and innovation to independent innovation mode. The key core technologies that could have been acquired through technical cooperation or purchase have been "cut off", and the learning cost and trial-and-error cost of independent innovation have increased significantly, which has led to an increase in the difficulty of technological innovation. At the same time, there is a serious shortage of talents in artificial intelligence, chip design and manufacturing, biomedical research and development, big data and other fields in China. There are too many new and high-tech projects, and the competition among enterprises is more intense. The domestic "first set" is facing various market thresholds set by the buyer, and the application of innovative products is stuck in the market.

  In addition, Qin Hailin analyzed that from the list, China’s construction, petrochemical and non-ferrous metal industrial structures are still biased. Compared with world-class enterprises, some enterprises in China still have some problems, such as low added value of products and services, incomplete fulfillment of social responsibilities, poor international vision, weak ability to participate in international rule-making, lack of international market development and global resource allocation, and weak ability to prevent international market risks.

  3. Forming ecology, innovation is not "going it alone"

  [case]

  Mr. Zhou, who works in an Internet company in Beijing, is considering "job hopping" recently. He intends to submit his resume to JD.COM and Alibaba. "These two companies have the aura of the world’s top 500 companies. I hope to enter one of them and feel the working atmosphere and state there personally, which will be of great help to my future development and growth. Of course, I also look forward to raising my salary and making more money. " Mr. Zhou said.

  "We have entered the era of digital economy, and the development of Internet companies is expected in the future. At least three or five Internet companies will be able to enter the world’s top 500 list." Li Yongjian said that in the future, the Internet traffic dividend will basically be gone, and Internet companies should pay more attention to innovation, strengthen theoretical research and key core technology research, and serve the real economy.

  He said that innovation is not "fighting alone", but to form an ecology. It is necessary to encourage Internet companies to deeply integrate with the real economy, and use their data capabilities and supply chain management capabilities to enhance the competitiveness and efficiency of the majority of small and medium-sized enterprises. At the same time, it is necessary to establish a reasonable supervision system to guide Internet companies to operate legally and in compliance.

  In fact, whether it is the Internet or other industries, in order to maintain a good development trend, it is necessary to practice hard, and at the same time, it is also inseparable from a stable development environment and policy support.

  "In the process of building a new development pattern with the domestic big cycle as the main body and the domestic and international double cycles promoting each other, Chinese enterprises should make full use of the international and domestic markets and resources to promote the innovation of production organization, technology and market." Qin Hailin said that it is necessary to forge long boards and stabilize advantageous industries; Make up the shortcomings, speed up the solution of the "stuck neck" problem, actively participate in the formulation of international rules, seize the opportunity of global industrial chain relocation, broaden international horizons, and achieve high-quality development in a higher level of opening up.

  Qin Hailin said that it is necessary to encourage enterprises to explore and innovate, and encourage enterprises to develop new technology applications, new product development and new market development by adopting various methods such as planning guidance, financial support and pilot demonstration; Provide support and services for enterprise innovation by accelerating the construction of public platforms, Industry-University-Research docking, and research and development of common key technologies; It is necessary to strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights and ensure the innovative behavior and achievements of enterprises.

  "It is necessary to speed up the cultivation of a large number of ‘ Specialization and novelty ’ Enterprises, build a group of ‘ that focus on market segments, have excellent technology or services and have a high market share; Single champion ’ Form a social atmosphere that encourages the professional development of enterprises. " Sheng Chaoxun said that small and medium-sized enterprises should be encouraged to establish stable cooperative relations with large enterprises and leading enterprises by means of specialized division of labor, service outsourcing and order production.

  Sheng Chaoxun suggested that to enhance innovation ability, it is necessary to establish and improve the incentive mechanism for innovation investment, increase investment in the field of scientific and technological innovation, optimize scientific research management services, and support researchers to concentrate on overcoming technical difficulties. It is necessary to expand the scale of enrollment in emerging fields that are in short supply, increase training efforts, strengthen joint training between schools and enterprises, and improve policy guarantees such as talent settlement, residence visas, and tax incentives. It is necessary to improve the life cycle support mechanism for the market application of the "first set" equipment, encourage the upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain to jointly provide application scenarios for the "first set" and build a large-scale market application ecosystem for the "first set" and the first batch of sub-products.

The net loss exceeds 10 billion. How can Xpeng Motors break the game?

Our reporter Chen Jingbin reports from Guangzhou.

Recently, Xpeng Motors released its financial report for the fourth quarter and the whole year of 2023, showing that the company’s revenue in the fourth quarter reached 13.05 billion yuan, up 154% year-on-year, and its net loss was 1.348 billion yuan, down 42.9% year-on-year, and its gross profit margin increased to 4.1%.

However, for the whole year, although Xpeng Motors’s revenue increased by 14.2% to 30.68 billion yuan,The net loss expanded to 10.38 billion yuan, an increase of 13.6% compared with 2022.The gross profit margin for the whole year was -1.6%.

The reporter of China Business News learned from an interview in Xpeng Motors that Xpeng Motors’s gross profit improved to 6.2% in the fourth quarter through platform-based R&D and technology cost reduction, and its net loss narrowed year-on-year. The company plans to further increase the gross profit margin through scale effect and supply chain optimization in the future.

He Xiaopeng, director and CEO of Xpeng Motors, said that the delivery volume of Xpeng Motors increased quarter by quarter in 2023, surpassing 60,000 vehicles in the fourth quarter, and plans to launch more than 10 new models in the next three years, aiming at popularizing advanced autonomous driving technology and expanding the global market.

Nevertheless, Xpeng Motors’s sales in 2023 failed to reach the target of 200,000 vehicles, and only 70% of them were completed. In addition, the sales volume of Tucki P7, the main model, dropped significantly in January and February 2024, and the sales volume of Tucki G6, the new model, also dropped. Tucki X9, which has the highest sales volume, sold 1,448 vehicles in the same period, while the sales of P5, G3 and G9 were not satisfactory.

The net loss expanded to 10.38 billion yuan.

In 2023, Xpeng Motors’s financial situation experienced ups and downs, especially in the fourth quarter, there were some signs of improvement, but the overall situation was still under pressure.

This year, Xpeng Motors’s automobile gross profit margin experienced a process from negative to positive, reaching 4.1% in the fourth quarter, which was significantly improved compared with -6.1% in the third quarter. howeverFor the whole year, the gross profit rate of automobiles in Xpeng Motors is -1.6%, which shows an obvious downward trend compared with 9.4% in 2022..

Xpeng Motors also made decisive "changes" in this year to boost sales and improve its financial situation.

In order to impact the year-end sales, Xpeng Motors implemented discounts and preferential policies for its models. These measures, together with the adjustment of sales structure, such as the increase in the sales share of Tucki G9 with higher unit price and the reduction of bicycle cost, have jointly promoted the improvement of gross profit margin. Tucki G9, in particular, increased its sales share in the fourth quarter from 7% in the third quarter to 26%, which had a positive impact on the overall sales structure.

In terms of cost control, Xpeng Motors has also achieved certain results. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the cost of bicycles decreased by 11,000 yuan, reaching 191,000 yuan. This reduction is due to the implementation of technical cost reduction and the continuous downward trend of lithium carbonate price, which effectively controls the natural cost of vehicles.

Xpeng Motors’s organizational structure adjustment and business strategy optimization are also important factors to improve its financial situation. Since October 2022, Xpeng Motors has made a series of adjustments, including streamlining SKUs, optimizing sales theaters, merging inefficient stores and purchasing strategies. Especially after Wang Fengying joined the company as the president, these measures were further strengthened.

In terms of human resources, Xpeng Motors has also been optimized.In 2023, the total number of employees decreased from 15,829 to 13,550, and the number of R&D personnel also decreased from 6,313 to 5,401.At the same time, the growth of R&D expenditure has also been controlled, with an increase of only 1.2%.

Although Xpeng Motors has taken many measures to improve its financial situation, it still faces certain challenges.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, the company’s net loss was 1.35 billion yuan. Although it decreased compared with 2.36 billion yuan in the same period of last year and 3.89 billion yuan in the previous quarter, it still showed a loss as a whole. The annual net loss was 10.38 billion yuan, an increase from 9.14 billion yuan in 2022.

In terms of sales volume, Xpeng Motors also failed to achieve the set target.In 2023, the company originally planned to deliver 200,000 cars, but only 70% of them were actually completed.In terms of vehicle models, the sales of Tucki P7 and G6 dropped significantly in early 2024, while the sales of the new model Tucki X9 were relatively good, but overall, Xpeng Motors’s performance in the market still needs to be further improved.

In addition, at the beginning of January this year, the retail sales of Tucki P7 in February were only 836 vehicles, and in January, there was a decline in the waist-cutting level; Tucki G6 also experienced a considerable month-on-month decline from the first month, with sales of only 1,161 vehicles in February. The highest sales volume is the new model Tucki X9, with a sales volume of 1,448 vehicles in the same period. The remaining Tucki P5 is 213 vehicles and G3 is as low as 26 vehicles. The sales volume of G9 is acceptable, but it is only 861 vehicles.

Zhan Junhao, the founder of Fujian Huace Brand Positioning Consulting, analyzed the multiple reasons why Xpeng Motors’s sales failed to meet expectations in an interview. He pointed out that,In addition to the pressure brought to Xpeng Motors by the market performance of competitors such as Huawei, BYD and Tesla,Xpeng Motors also has problems in product positioning, marketing, cost control and supply chain management..

Zhan Junhao mentioned that Xpeng Motors may not be able to accurately grasp the consumer demand in product positioning, and the strength and effect of marketing are insufficient, resulting in limited brand influence. At the same time, high R&D and production costs affect the competitiveness of product prices. Problems in supply chain management, such as unstable supply of raw materials and low production efficiency, have also had a negative impact on sales.

Regarding the expansion of Xpeng Motors’s net loss in 2023, Zhan Junhao thinks that this will have a negative impact on the company’s development. The increase of capital pressure may affect R&D, marketing and capacity expansion, while the decrease of investor confidence may affect the stock price and financing ability, while sustained losses may lead to the decline of market competitiveness and make it difficult to compete with competitors.

How to break the game under the double pressure of performance and sales?

Faced with the double pressure of performance and sales in 2023, Xpeng Motors has clearly recognized the seriousness of the problem and started to take a series of measures to meet the challenges.

Xpeng Motors made it clear that in the context of increasingly fierce competition in China’s automobile industry, it is the key to realize profitability and sustainable development to scale up and reduce operating costs through smart driving technology.

Gu Hongdi, honorary vice chairman and co-president of Xpeng Motors, told reporters that the company’s technical cost reduction and business improvement plan have achieved initial results, and the gross profit margin of automobiles increased by about 10 percentage points in the fourth quarter. Besides,Xpeng Motors’s cash in hand at the end of 2023 exceeded 45 billion yuan, which provided a solid financial guarantee for the company to achieve high-quality and high-speed growth in the fierce market competition..

In order to further reduce costs and improve efficiency, Xpeng Motors introduced SEPA 2.0 in 2023. This new architecture integrates the intelligent system, powertrain and vehicle platform into a unified intelligent platform, which realizes the maximum common sharing among vehicles. This platform-based R&D strategy not only helps to reduce supply chain and manufacturing costs, but also accelerates the company’s goal of reducing BOM cost by 25% by the end of 2024, and significantly improves the efficiency of R&D iteration.

In terms of sales network, Xpeng Motors has carried out a new round of channel upgrade through "Jupiter Plan". In 2023, the company introduced more than 160 excellent dealer partners, covering 40 low-tier cities. These adjustments not only improve the ability of sales channels, but also are expected to bring significant contributions to sales from the second quarter of 2024.

He Xiaopeng said at the performance conference that Xpeng Motors will start an innovative dealer cooperation model from the second quarter of 2024. This model will accelerate the delivery speed of terminals by establishing channel inventory for about half a month, and fully activate the enthusiasm of dealers, thus effectively increasing sales. At the same time, the company will strictly control the inventory level through the system and monitoring mechanism, and implement a unified national price strategy to avoid the disadvantages of the traditional dealer sales model.

Besides,Xpeng Motors also plans to accelerate the sinking of channels, and it is estimated that the total number of sales stores will increase to 600 in the third quarter of 2024.. This expansion and transformation will be a key part of Xpeng Motors’s sales growth strategy.

In terms of product iteration, Xpeng Motors’s new products also show strong market competitiveness. Taking Tucki X9 as an example, this newly-launched pure electric MPV model delivered nearly 4,000 vehicles in just two months, and continued to lead the market of pure electric MPV and pure electric three-seat models. The company expects that X9′ s sales in March and April will increase significantly from the previous month.

Nevertheless, in the face of intensified competition in the automobile market, Xpeng Motors is still under a lot of pressure. Can He Xiaopeng save the situation and give the capital market a satisfactory answer? As the first batch of "survivors" who built cars, the survival and development of Xpeng Motors is of typical significance.

U-disk virus "body double" cross-infects a large number of printers’ computers and becomes a virus spread carrier.

  Xinhua News Agency, Tianjin, June 3 (Reporter Zhou Runjian) 360 Internet Security Center recently issued a virus alert, saying that a U disk virus named "body double" is being cross-infected in a large number across the country, and computers in print shops all over the country have become carriers of virus infection and spread. It is graduation season, and students are vulnerable to such virus attacks when printing graduation papers and other materials.

  Tan Heli, an anti-virus engineer of 360, said that the body double virus is very confusing. It will hide the files in the U disk and create a shortcut with the same name as the hidden data as "body double". If the victim double-clicks to open the shortcut when using the computer, the virus in the U disk will be activated and infected with the computer it is connected to, so as to realize rapid cross-propagation between different computers.

  Tan Heli said that, unlike the common U disk viruses in the past, the body double virus is more stubborn, and it will start a "guardian" process to protect the virus.

  Although the U disk data hidden by the virus can be found by setting "Show hidden files", the shortcut created by the virus will still remain in the U disk. Tan Heli reminded that you must not delete the shortcut manually, which will lead to the data on the U disk being emptied by the virus. If virus infection is found, you should use professional and safe killing software to kill the virus on the U disk, which can completely remove body double and other U disk viruses and repair files damaged by virus infection.

Yang Zishan rejects variety shows: that’s not what "actors" should do.

1905 movie network news Good Will Hunting, a brand-new "talking variety" produced by Horgos Tongxin Culture and jointly produced by iQiyi and Watching Movies, has been launched in iQiyi, and the first two programs have been well received. As a brand-new variety completely created by Ms. Tian Hua, a "gold producer", "Good Will Hunting" abandons the limitations of traditional talk shows on space and time, and the host and guests will exchange views at the dinner table. In the new program, the program group interviewed Yang Zishan, a powerful young actress. The host Jingwei had afternoon tea with him, and they talked a lot about the professional accomplishment that an actor should have. In the program, Yang Zishan responded that some fans called her "the next Tang Wei" and said that she "may be more like Zhao Wei"; She also said in the program that she is very exclusive to variety shows and thinks that variety shows are "not the work that actors should do."

 

At the beginning of the program, the host Jingwei asked Yang Zishan what the criteria were for choosing the script. Yang Zishan responded that the script was "the foundation of a play", and if she could learn something from the play after the audience saw it, she would feel that the role was not played in vain and would feel very happy. Later, she also said that she felt that the actors were "people who can’t make any contribution to the country", so Yang Zishan thought that every role she played in the movies and TV series should bring something different to the audience while entertaining others. In the program, Yang Zishan admits that although he is a member of the entertainment industry, he only likes this part of acting and is not interested in other things, which is why Yang Zishan never hypes or exposes himself too much in the media.

 

However, this concentration has also brought some negative effects to her: Yang Zishan broke the news in the program that she had met her favorite role twice, but the producer finally chose another actress because she was not popular enough. As an actress, being robbed of her role is a very frustrating thing for her. Now, in order to solve this problem, Yang Zishan’s solution is to participate in TV series. She frankly doesn’t care whether others say she is a "movie coffee" or a "TV coffee". She thinks that many TV dramas are excellent and their income is not bad, and they can also enhance their sense of existence in the hearts of the audience. However, Yang Zishan also said very seriously in the program that although participating in variety shows is "high exposure, easy and high income", "this is not what an actor should do" and "he will not express himself in variety shows". She also revealed that she had quarreled because the staff had to participate in variety shows themselves.

 

In the program, Jingwei also asked Yang Zishan if she had ever told the staff "Play a good show or die". Yang Zishan said with a smile that it did happen, indicating that everyone will be lazy, and often you need to force yourself to do a good job. Jingwei immediately said that many netizens recognized Yang Zishan’s acting skills, especially her crying, and also heard that her cornea was broken because she cried too much. Yang Zishan said that this is a normal thing to do in this profession, just like being a chef may cut your hand. At the same time, Yang Zishan also mentioned his old partner, Mark Chao, a guest in the last episode of the program, who suffered from snow blindness because of filming, further supporting the view that it is an actor’s duty to suffer for acting.

 

As a powerful young actress, Yang Zishan has always been in a high-intensity working state. Although she is very concerned about the performance itself, long-term work has made her feel a little tired, and she has decided to take a long vacation and have a rest. Fortunately, Yang Zishan’s husband Wu Zhongtian, her "good sister" and her boss Zhao Wei all supported her decision. It happens that Zhao Wei is also a good friend of the host Jingwei, and Zhao Wei once expressed his love for Yang Zishan in private. Yang Zishan also said that she was lucky to meet Zhao Wei, which gave her a very suitable working environment. She admits that if she changed to another performing arts company, she might have chosen to quit the entertainment industry a long time ago.

The "Wenjie Hotel" exploded, and the after-sales service of automobiles reached a new height.

The "Wenjie Hotel" exploded, and the after-sales service of automobiles reached a new height.

Recently, "Wen Jie Hotel" exploded on social media and became a hot topic in the automobile circle and even in the consumer field. However, it is not a real hotel, but an interesting name for the customer service center in the world. Behind this nickname is the bold innovation in the field of automobile after-sales service and the eager response of consumers to high-quality service experience.

When you walk into the "Wenjie Hotel", you will see the service facilities comparable to star-rated hotels. Free buffet with a variety of dishes, including hot dishes, cold cuts, fruits and desserts, to meet the taste needs of different people; At the bar, coffee, juice, milk tea and other drinks are refilled indefinitely, providing car owners with a pleasant leisure time; In the rest area, massage chairs and children’s play areas are all available, and high-speed WiFi is fully covered, so that car owners can bid farewell to boredom while waiting for vehicle maintenance or repair. In addition, basic services such as free charging and fine car washing are also in place, and even some stores provide free painting services.

The explosion of "Wenjie Hotel" was not accidental, but accurately hit the pain point of traditional 4S shop service. In the past, when car owners went to 4S shops for maintenance, they often encountered problems such as long waiting time, cold attitude of staff and poor environment. The whole process was like suffering. Starting from the needs and feelings of car owners, the authorized center of the asking world uses "service combination boxing" to solve these problems one by one, and makes the after-sales service center a comfortable and warm place, so that car owners can feel respected and cared for.

In the new energy vehicle market, the phenomenon of product homogeneity is becoming more and more serious, and the gap between brands in hardware parameters such as cruising range and intelligent configuration is gradually narrowing. In this context, the appearance of "Wen Jie Hotel" marks the change of the competition track for car companies-from pure product competition to competition for user experience and emotional value. By improving the quality of after-sales service and providing cost-effective value-added services for car owners, Wenjie not only enhanced users’ goodwill and loyalty to the brand, but also successfully shaped a unique community culture of car owners, which stood out in the fierce market competition.

From the marketing point of view, "Wenjie Hotel" is also a successful example. Car owners spontaneously share their experience in the service center on social media, upload beautiful food photos and comfortable rest environment videos. These contents have their own communication attributes and become the most powerful publicity of the brand. Every shared car owner is like a walking billboard, which makes the brand image of the world more deeply rooted in people’s hearts. The effect of this word-of-mouth communication is far from that of traditional advertising.

Of course, the model of "Wen Jie Hotel" also faces some challenges. For example, how to balance service input and operating cost to ensure the sustainability of services; How to maintain the consistency of service standards in different regions and stores across the country; How to prevent some car owners from taking up public resources excessively … These are problems that need to be considered and solved by the industry and other car companies interested in emulating.

The explosion of "Wen Jie Hotel" has brought new enlightenment to the development of automobile industry: in today’s increasingly convergence of technology and products, only by truly taking users as the center, paying attention to users’ emotional needs and providing service experience beyond expectations can we win users’ favor and market recognition.

Strictly crack down on illegal registration of real estate! Ministry of Natural Resources: Strictly prevent the legalization of small property houses.

  CCTV News:At present, the real estate registration system has been fully operated in the whole country. During a period of operation, there are some difficulties in obtaining certificates in real estate registration in some places. Recently, the Ministry of Natural Resources has deployed a special rectification of the style of the real estate registration window throughout the country.

 

  Wang Guanghua, Vice Minister of Natural Resources: "Since the implementation of the unified registration system for real estate, there have been 109 halls in China, and there have been problems of queuing in the early morning and scalpers changing their numbers. Some places have turned a blind eye to the gap between the service ability and level and the people’s demand for permits, and have not taken the initiative to solve it in time, which is simply limited."

  The rectification deployment focuses on the style of real estate registration window, such as "pushing around and dragging" and "difficulty in obtaining a certificate". It will take three months to comprehensively promote the "reduction of certificates and convenience for the people" nationwide, and clean up and cancel the pre-existing links without legal and regulatory basis. At the same time, it is necessary to comprehensively clean up all kinds of unnecessary certificates such as "wonderful" certificates, circular certificates and repeated certificates that bother enterprises and the masses.

  Wang Guanghua, Vice Minister of Natural Resources: "Those materials that can be obtained through the Internet shall not be submitted repeatedly by the masses. Then in fact, the information that can be obtained through information sharing between government departments is fast, accurate and reliable, so it is beneficial to improve efficiency and ensure quality. "

 

  In terms of establishing a standardized service system in an all-round way, the Ministry of Natural Resources said that all localities should classify and establish standardized and simplified standardized business processes to provide clear guidance for the masses to do things.

 

  Wang Guanghua, Vice Minister of Natural Resources: "There is no pre-position for real estate registration. As long as the application materials submitted by the applicant meet the requirements of the provisional regulations on real estate registration and the detailed rules for the implementation of the provisional regulations on real estate registration, the real estate registration agency should handle it, and the sharing and collaboration between departments should be placed in the window. Don’t let the people run back and forth."

  Issues left over from history should not be shelved for a long time.

  According to the Ministry of Natural Resources, for the multi-sector decentralized registration period before the implementation of unified registration of real estate, historical problems caused by imperfect and irregular management links should not be shelved for a long time.

  Wang Guanghua, Vice Minister of Natural Resources: "At present, there are still more than 4.8 million pieces in the country, and the problems left over from the history of decentralized registration have not been solved. In some places, in the face of the outbreak of historical problems, they did not organize forces to focus on investigation and coordination, and directly let the window staff respond, simply because the procedures were incomplete and they could not be handled."

  According to the Ministry of Natural Resources, all localities should actively discuss and study the problems left over from history with planning, housing construction and other departments, and report to the people’s governments of cities and counties to issue policies to solve them in time to meet the people’s normal demand for accreditation.

  Strictly investigate violations of laws and regulations for real estate registration 

 

  In addition, the Ministry of Natural Resources also emphasized that it is necessary to prevent "small property houses" from being legalized through real estate registration. At the same time, it is necessary to crack down on the abuse of power to forge false registration of materials, deliberately misregister, illegally register for financing, maliciously collude with illegal registration and disclose registration information.

  Wang Guanghua, Vice Minister of Natural Resources: "Since the implementation of real estate registration, a total of 303 cases of illegal registration have been found throughout the country. In recent years, the state land supervision agency found that some places illegally and falsely registered mortgages for public welfare roads, parks, public facilities and other land for financing needs, and some places maliciously colluded with third parties to register illegally and leaked registration information."
