Drop 120,000! Cadillac XT5 new listing "no ink", only sold 279,900

Source: Spy Finance (ID: Spy Finance)

Just now, Cadillac officially released the news of "new XT5 pre-sale", but I didn’t expect the price to be a "Wang fried"!

The SAIC-GM Cadillac has temporarily launched three models for the "new XT5", and the official price guidance is 399,900 yuan deluxe version, 419,900 yuan distinguished version and 459,900 yuan platinum version.

But here’s the thing.The three "new XT5" models are all four-wheel drive models, with a hummingbird chassis as standard. According to its official words, "entry is luxury".

Remember when Cadillac introduced the CT5 midsize sedan,Once shouted a "no rear drive, no luxury" brand slogan, now it has become "door is luxury".

It can be seen that SAIC GM is also "shopping". In addition to the high configuration and the usual material kindness, the key is to cast the price "trump card", these three four-wheel drive models have dropped by 120,000 yuan, and the entry-level luxury version directly into the 280,000 yuan or less.

Compared with the old XT5, the new XT5’s appearance and interior style are basically replaced by the family style of Cadillac’s flagship sedan CT6, but from the feedback of public opinion, this set of appearance is somewhat "not very compatible" on the flagship sedan, plus the back, sales are very poor.

However, this set of appearance and interior is used on the XT5, and with the addition of a longer and wider body size, it looks very imposing and domineering. The interior is also a large screen, creating a very good sense of technological luxury.

For example, the new XT5 car is 4888mm long, 75mm longer than the old model; the car is 1957mm wide, 54mm wider than the old model; the car is 1694mm high, 12mm higher than the old model. It looks obviously taller and more powerful than the old model.

But looking at it the other way around, the new XT5 weighs 1960khg, the same as the old four-wheel drive version, but the fuel consumption is 8.23L/100km, which is much higher than the old four-wheel drive 7.97L/100km.

If you don’t care about the extra fuel consumption, can you buy the new XT5 with your eyes closed? In the medium-sized SUV of the fuel car, you want both luxury brand and affordable price, or four-wheel drive, the new XT5 is really cost-effective.

Built for business, Toyota Crown has a 58-year history

  [Car History] The brand’s flagship model CROWN was born in 1955 and has undergone more than half of its evolution. As one of the earliest imported luxury cars to enter the Chinese market, the Crown has a high degree of recognition in people’s hearts. On December 25, 2012, the 14th generation of the Crown was officially released in Japan. The newly released Crown has been further improved in all aspects. At the same time as the launch of the new Crown, we will also review the development of the Crown car series.

Notes: Since the Crown car series has 14 generations of models and is longer, this article will be divided into two chapters for everyone to introduce, the first one introduces the evolution history of the first to seventh generation models.

◆ Toyota CrownOriginAnd its birth background (early 1950s)
  Built specifically for the business market

  In the early 1950s, in order to better meet the growing demand for corporate vehicles in Japan, Toyota began to develop the Crown sedan for business people, preparing to replace the previous RH model. However, Toyota was not sure whether the new design of the Crown would be acceptable to the market, so it also launched a slightly more conservative design of the Master model, mainly for the taxi market. However, due to the popularity of the Crown, Toyota discontinued the Master and changed its factory to produce the Crown.

  The RH, also known as the Super, was the fourth generation of Toyota’s first SA line-up after World War II, when the more competitive Crown replaced the RH as the mainstay in 1955.

Toyota’s first-generation Crown (1955-1962)
  Features: Compact/with open doors

  In January 1955, the first generation of Toyota’s self-produced Crown sedan was officially launched, and the first Crown was personally driven off the production line by President Hideji Toyota. The crown at that time had typical characteristics of the times in terms of styling design. The first generation of the crown used a ship-shaped body, the front of the car had two independent cylindrical headlights, the prominent cover was designed with prisms, the grille was designed with two layers inside and outside, and the lower bumper was also designed to be more prominent.

  The most distinctive design on the sides of the car is the folio of the front and rear doors to make it easier for passengers to get on and off. The same design was used on Toyota’s first model, the AA. The straight line at the rear of the body extends to the rear of the car, and the luggage compartment cover is designed to be streamlined.

  The first generation of Toyota Crown was exported overseas, so there are both left and right rudder forms. The design of the car is very simple, the shift lever is located on the side of the steering column, and the central control part is made of metal. Except for simple instrument display and light control, there are only a few functional configurations. The front and rear seats of the first generation of Crown are all integrated headless design, which can seat up to six people.

  In the power part, the Crown was originally equipped with a Toyota R series 4-cylinder engine with a displacement of 1.5L and a maximum of 49 horsepower. It transmitted engine power to the rear wheels at 3 speeds. In the chassis part, the structure of the first-generation Crown was an independent front suspension and a non-independent rear suspension.

  In December 1955, Toyota introduced the Crown Deluxe Edition, which turned the left and right windshields into one piece, and upgraded the radio and warm air to standard configuration. In October 1958, the Crown ushered in the first facelift, and the changes in the new car were mainly reflected in the appearance and power. The front face was redesigned, the headlights were added with a protective cover, the grille style was more holistic, the trim strips on the side of the body were extended to the rear, the trunk cover became angular, and the area of the taillights was also increased. In terms of power, the facelift model followed the R series 1.5L engine, but the power output of the standard version was increased to 61 horsepower, and the power output of the deluxe version was increased to 63 horsepower.

  In October 1959, Toyota first launched the equipped Crown model, which was also the first diesel sedan in Japan. It was equipped with the Toyota C series engine with a displacement of 1.5L and a maximum power of only 40 horsepower. In October 1960, the Crown ushered in a facelift again. The new car was equipped with a new 1.9L 3R engine, and the transmission part could choose 2 speeds in addition to a 3-speed manual transmission. The 1.9L power version was originally only equipped with the Crown Deluxe Edition (maximum power 96 horsepower). In April 1961, the Crown Standard Edition was also equipped with a 1.9L engine (maximum power 86 horsepower).

  From 1957 to 1960, the first-generation Crown became the first Japanese car to be exported to the United States, but it sold only 287 units. To promote the reliability of the Crown, Toyota held long-distance endurance races from Los Angeles to New York. Unfortunately, it did not have a positive effect because the Crown withdrew from the race shortly after the start of the race.

  The Crown was "unsuitable" in the United States, because the car was only equipped with a small 1.5L engine in the face of the characteristics of Japanese road conditions at the time (mud, low speed, unpaved). The embarrassment of insufficient power caused the Crown to be criticized in the United States. Even after being upgraded to a more powerful engine, sales still did not improve.

"My True Friend" is a hit, Yang Ying, Deng Lun, and Zhu Yilong bravely pursue their dreams

Angelababy

The TV series "My True Friend" is being filmed in Shanghai, and the filmmaker exposed the live shooting yesterday. Leading stars Yang Ying Angelababy, Deng Lun, Zhu Yilong, Xu Di and a group of starring stars made a surprise appearance. The actors’ exquisite styling and international indoor sets, the chemical effect produced by the combination of idol atmosphere and realism on the scene all reflect the good intentions of the crew for the shooting, and the top quality can be glimpsed. "My True Friend" focuses on the topic of social real estate, conforms to the current consumption upgrade trend, grasps the pulse of the times, and cuts to the social pain points. Since the start of filming, it has been widely concerned by the industry. The drama is dedicated to truly reflecting the proposition of the times and the voice of the people closely related to real estate in the form of art, aiming to confirm that the film and television industry is one of the important carriers of social livelihood, highlighting its sense of social responsibility as an industry drama.

Deng Lun

Focusing on people’s livelihood and interpreting social trends, Angelababy Deng Lun and Zhu Yilong bravely pursue their dreams

The TV series "My True Friend" tells the story of "real estate agent Cainiao" Cheng Zhenzhen (Yang Ying Angelababy) and Shao Pengcheng (Deng Lun), who meet international interior designers Jing Ran (Zhu Yilong) and his mother Bai Auntie (Xu Di) during their work, and witness the warmth and warmth of people from all walks of life in the city through the sale and rental of houses, and work together to improve the living environment of Chinese residents and benefit the people in society. Yesterday, it coincided with the filming of a very important group portrait drama by the crew, and all the stars were present. In order to realize the dream of "letting every person who drifts in a big city find an ideal home", the young people led by Cheng Zhenzhen, Pengcheng and Jing Ran have made great efforts, and difficulties have followed. In real life, social problems that have repeatedly been on the cusp of public opinion trends have been encountered by them one by one, such as building materials formaldehyde exceeding standards, it is difficult to buy a house and rent a house, and real estate developers maliciously monopolize the market. This group of vibrant young people did not give up easily. The scene was the scene where they rose to the challenge to solve the problem and celebrate the initial realization of the dream.

As far as the protagonists are concerned, they have a "dream" of living and living in their hearts, a "picture" of harmony among thousands of families in their eyes, a "road" with a long way to go under their feet, and a "responsibility" of the real estate owners to benefit the people on their shoulders. This is also the positive energy that all the creators of "My True Friend" want to convey to the public. The play is not limited to the protagonists’ small feelings and loves. Each character has his own complete life story. They are like pieces of small puzzles to build this warm story related to the house and showing the various social conditions. The whole work is also joined by outstanding actors such as Tan Kai, Li Xiaofeng, Li Xinyi, Yao Anlian, and Ni Dahong, which is more flesh and blood.

Zhu Yilong

Keep the pulse of the times with art and temper the drama of the boutique industry

In order to create the industry’s top realist drama, "My True Friend" has achieved the ultimate in professionalism and attitude. According to the producer and chief producer, Jia Yiqun, before the drama started filming, the main creator had done an in-depth investigation, "From the bottom of society to the elite, we will thoroughly analyze their real estate mentality, housing mentality, and life mentality." Strive to root the script in reality with a rigorous creative attitude, so as to go beyond reality. The plot revolves around the relationship between "house", "family" and "people", covering social topics such as empty nesters, urban love, children’s education, and elite midlife crisis. It focuses on people’s lives, closely follows the pulse of the times, and awakens the truth, goodness, and beauty of human nature. It can be called a "social encyclopedia". At the same time, Shao Jian, chairperson of Love and Home Group, has been dedicated to the vigorous development of China’s real estate market for many years. His line "Take from the people and serve the people" highlights his sense of social responsibility as an entrepreneur who always focuses on people’s livelihood and insists on serving the masses. This also reflects the correct entrepreneurial values shaped by "My True Friend".

High-quality plot and a sense of social mission go hand in hand, which is one of the spiritual cores that every drama is pursuing at present. TV dramas not only have entertainment functions, but also have the responsibility to promote social progress. "My True Friend" discloses its strong plot competitiveness to the public. As a contemporary film and television work with warmth and responsibility, it also conveys to the audience the essence of people’s livelihood of "weaving families with true feelings and watching happiness with families". In addition, by looking into the protagonist’s sincere work style and life attitude, the drama emphasizes the beautiful quality of socialist new youth who are striving for progress and courageous to innovate. At the same time, it actively responds to the new era call of the country’s "better life needs". The theme selection coincides with the trend of the Chinese people to achieve consumption upgrading, and finally realizes the upgrade of people’s concepts and promotes the overall improvement of the quality of industry dramas.

It is an innovative move in the history of Chinese TV dramas to boldly integrate the sense of idolatry into realistic dramas. Produced by Shaanxi Wentou Yida Film and Television Company, the TV series "My True Friend" jointly produced by China Vision Entertainment, Vast Astrolabe Film and Television Media, and Guowen Film Industry has assembled director Zhang Silin, producer and chief producer Jia Yiqun, screenwriter Mei Yingju and other gold medal creators, and a group of dedicated and powerful actors are fully supported. It is bound to become a new benchmark for domestic industry dramas in 2019!

Yang Chuantang: We will comprehensively deepen the reform of taxis and encourage new business models such as online car-hailing

Yang Chuantang, Minister of Transport, Liu Xiaoming, Director of the Transportation Services Department of the Ministry of Transport, and Guo Jifu, Director of the Beijing Transportation Development Research Center, were invited to answer questions from Chinese and foreign reporters on "deepening the reform and development of taxis."

  On March 14, the Press Center of the Fourth Session of the 12th National People’s Congress held a press conference and invited Yang Chuantang, Minister of Transport, Liu Xiaoming, Director of the Transport Services Department of the Ministry of Transport, and Guo Jifu, Director of the Beijing Transportation Development Research Center, to answer questions from Chinese and foreign reporters on "deepening the reform and development of taxis." This is Yang Chuantang’s briefing. Photo by Xinhua News Agency reporter Li Xin

  The first financial reporter:The recent rise of ride-hailing has greatly changed the way people get around, but we have also heard a lot of complaints from the taxi and private car industries. May I ask Minister Yang, have you taken into account and taken into account the interests of all parties when formulating these two documents? Is there any deeper background for formulating these two documents?

  Yang Chuantang:Thank you for your question. The reform and development of taxis is related to the travel of the people and the overall situation of social stability. The Ministry of Transport has always attached great importance to this work. Since 2008, the Ministry of Transport has assumed the responsibility of guiding the taxi industry, and has been working hard to promote the reform of the taxi industry. It has successively issued a number of regulations and issued a number of documents. Especially in response to the new situation and new problems brought about by the rise of online car-hailing, in accordance with the overall deployment of the country’s comprehensive deepening reform, the Ministry of Transport carried out surveys and studies in July 2014, and in November 2014 officially expressed its attitude of encouraging and inclusive innovation in the development of online car-hailing.

  In January 2015, our ministry officially established a reform working group, and together with relevant departments, we began to study the policies for deepening the reform of the taxi industry and standardizing the development of online car-hailing. We embarked on a top-level design and fully launched the reform work of the industry. We conducted special surveys in 21 different types of cities and studied the laws, regulations and management policies of taxis in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Singapore and other countries, as well as in Hong Kong and Taiwan. We also held more than 50 seminars, demonstrations and consultations of different scopes and levels. We widely listened to the opinions of all parties and repeatedly conducted research and demonstration.

  The relevant departments of the central government and the State Council have also participated in the drafting and revision of the taxi reform document throughout the process. In late June 2015, the Ministry of Transport held a special symposium on deepening the reform of the taxi industry. On July 20, a demonstration meeting on deepening the reform of the taxi industry was held, and the "Guiding Opinions on Deepening Reform and Further Promoting the Healthy Development of the Taxi Industry" and "Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Booking Taxi Business Services" were formed. The exposure draft of these two documents has been open to the public for one month since October 10 last year. The reason why this opportunity was chosen for reform is to take into account the interests of the people, that is, to adhere to the people-oriented, that is, to take the passenger as the center. This is the starting point and the end point of this reform.

  The direction of reform has two aspects: first, to improve the service level of traditional taxis and better meet the needs of the people to travel. In the 1990s, our country’s taxis experienced rapid development and played an extremely important and positive role in alleviating travel difficulties. The majority of business operators and taxi drivers have made positive contributions and become a business card of the city, which should be fully recognized. With the passage of time, there have also been many new situations and problems. In some cities, it is difficult to take a taxi, the quality of industry services is not high, and the people’s multi-level travel needs cannot be effectively met. At the same time, the problem of industry instability is sometimes more prominent. These all urgently need to reform the taxi management system and mechanism to improve and improve the service level.

  The second is to encourage the innovation and standardized development of new business forms of online car-hailing, which is also to better meet the needs of the people. In recent years, the rise of new business forms such as online car-hailing has indeed brought new experiences to passengers, but also led to the intertwining of old and new contradictions, the collision of interests, and even caused a series of industry problems. In the process of development, outstanding problems in the safety protection of passengers and fair competition in the market need to be solved urgently. While encouraging innovation, we must seek advantages and avoid disadvantages and standardize its development. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that the people’s yearning for a better life is our goal. The people’s expectations and voices for improving travel needs are the direction of our work. We must make this the focus of our work and step up the reform of the taxi industry to better serve the people’s transportation.

  The comprehensive deepening of taxi reform this time involves a wide range of areas and the public is very concerned about it. In the process of promoting reform, we have earnestly implemented the spirit of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Plenary Sessions of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, taking innovation, coordination, green, openness, and sharing as the development concept, and taking the "Internet +" action plan as an opportunity, adhering to the reform principles of people-oriented, encouraging innovation, overall consideration, and legal norms, and have studied and formulated relevant specific content around this principle. At the same time, we also promote the idea of stock reform and market segmentation to improve transportation services by increments, especially through "taxi + Internet" to promote the improvement and improvement of traditional taxi services and achieve transformation and upgrading; through "Internet + taxi" to build a diverse and differentiated taxi service system, promote the classification management and dislocation of new and old business formats, and gradually integrate development.

  The main content of this reform is reflected in the two documents exposure draft. For the entire taxi industry, there are mainly six aspects: First, it is necessary to clarify the positioning. Taxi is an integral part of the urban comprehensive transportation system and a supplement to urban public transportation. It provides personalized transportation services for the public. Priority should be given to the development of public transportation and the appropriate development of taxis. Second, it is necessary to establish a dynamic adjustment mechanism for the scale of transportation capacity, adjust the scale of transportation capacity in a timely manner, and solve the contradiction between supply and demand. Third, it is necessary to reform the management of operating rights, implement restrictions on the period of operation rights and free use, and shall not speculate and transfer without authorization. Fourth, it is necessary to build a diversified service system including cruise taxis and booking taxis to meet the travel needs of the people at different levels. Fifth, reform the system of molecular money, from the past government regulation to equal consultation between enterprises or industry associations and drivers or trade unions, and encourage and use the technology of the Internet to build a reasonable distribution mechanism for the interests of enterprises and drivers. Sixth, we must improve the price formation mechanism and give full play to the leverage role of freight rates in regulating market supply and demand.

  In response to the management of online car-hailing, the Interim Measures mainly clarify the core content of four aspects: First, clarify the positioning of development. In accordance with the high-quality and differentiated business principles, develop online car-hailing in an orderly manner. Second, under the current legal framework, license management is implemented for online car-hailing operators, drivers and vehicles. Third, standardize the business behavior of online car-hailing. Fourth, establish a multi-departmental joint supervision mechanism to strengthen supervision during and after the event.

Wang Jianlin: There is an L-shaped inflection point in real estate, and it will be difficult for eight to ten years

        Speaker:Wang Jianlin (Founder and Chairperson of Dalian Wanda Group Inc., Ltd.)

        Subject:Transformers: Creating New Commercial Value and Wanda’s Road to Transformation

        Time:April 21, 2015

        Host:China Entrepreneur Club

        [Editor’s note]

        At the "2015 China Green Company Annual Conference", Wang Jianlin said that the current trend of the real estate industry has changed. The industry has reached an inflection point. This inflection point is not V-shaped, but L-shaped. It takes a long time to balance supply and demand. Real estate will be difficult within ten or eight years.

        Wang Jianlin said that Wanda is trying O2O and Internet finance because Wanda needs to transform. One of the reasons for this is to use its own transformation method to smooth the cycle of the industry.

        The following is an excerpt from Wang Jianlin’s speech by The Paper (www.thepaper.cn):

 Increase user experience with O2O model

        How will physical enterprises go in the future? Will they also learn from the Internet? I told the company not to be afraid, but to embrace the Internet bravely. In fact, like our industry, how to do the Internet is a new topic. We mentioned the concept of O2O, which has only been done for a year now.

        First, increase the experience and stickiness of offline consumers. What does it mean to increase the experience? For example, there are now four Wanda Plaza in Shenyang, and more may be added in the future. Some consumers find that the parking spaces in the square are full after going there. Before, consumers only found that the parking spaces were full when they arrived at Wanda Plaza, and then they had to spend a lot of time queuing up. The O2O model means searching for relevant information at home, you can check if there are parking spaces, and you can even book parking spaces in advance.

        However, there is a problem. This type of project that increases the experience is a money-burning project. Where is the company’s profit direction? After more than a year of exploration, we have now found a new direction, which is to move in the direction of Internet finance.

        Utilize big data for internet finance

        Now Wanda Commercial is changing from heavy to light. In the past, we held our own assets or paid all the rent. Now we have a lot of investors, including our internal and external investors, who are willing to invest in us, and let us be responsible for the design, construction, investment promotion, operation, and management. We will share a part of the funds.

        From here, we remember that we are currently experimenting with a new wealth management product issued by one of our own Internet companies. This wealth management product is invested in Wanda Plaza, and the share of Wanda Plaza is transferred to the annual profit and rent dividend. The Internet company leaves a small part of the profit and then distributes it to investors.

        In the process of studying O2O, we found that Wanda has a huge advantage, the flow of people is very large. There were 1.60 billion passengers last year, and it is expected to exceed 2 billion this year. In 2020, according to the most conservative estimate, more than 6 billion people will enter Wanda’s plazas, hotels and resorts. This is just the most conservative estimate.

        According to a person once a month, there are at least 500 million active users. There may be more in the future. These resources are our customers who will issue Internet financial loans in the future. Because his consumption data may not be completely recorded in first- and second-tier cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, but for third- and fourth-tier cities, his consumption data is very complete.

Wanda wants to become the largest card issuer in China

        At present, our O2O is going in these two directions. One is to spend money to increase the experience and increase the stickiness. Second, through Internet finance, to obtain profits and increase the further expansion and development of O2O.

        There is a third thing in the future. If there are enough members, two or three hundred million, or even three or five hundred million, we will issue a Wanda’s own innovation card. The name has not been decided yet.

        As long as all members come to my store to spend, there is no annual fee for this innovation card, and there will be subsidies and points for using this innovation card.

        This kind of innovative card costs billions of dollars a year. As for the expenses related to the use of the card, where does the money come from? We have generally signed an agreement with the pilot merchants to spend one yuan on this card. At present, all the pilot merchants have agreed, so we use a large crowdfunding method to digest it.

        So in the future, our goal may be to become the largest card-issuing bank in China within five to six years. This will further stimulate support for offline O2O.

        I believe that because of Wanda’s offline opening of fifty or sixty stores every year, 500 million to 1 billion increased offline data support every year, our O2O, this "Internet +", will definitely create a new model in the business.

        Moreover, this "Internet +" stimulates and strengthens not the excess capacity, but the commercial consumption, cultural consumption, tourism consumption, and sports consumption that China needs to further contribute to China’s economy and explore. There is no new model of O2O "Internet +" in the world.

 "Touching the Net" is for transformation

        Why should we try O2O, why should we try Internet finance? Because Wanda needs to transform. Transformation is an eternal topic, and it is impossible for any enterprise’s business model to remain unchanged. If it remains unchanged, it will disappear from the list. We see that the companies that appeared on the list 30 years ago are now less than 20%. Maybe in another 20 years, or even 50 years, there may be only ten companies left in the top 500. This change is very large and must be adapted.

        In addition, Wanda needs to gain a greater competitive advantage. In the real estate field, although there are no national competitors, there are still regional competitors. Nationally speaking, in our industry, there is a saying that there is only one, no two. Through this transformation, we have gained more room for development. In several industries where we have comparative advantages, such as real estate, cultural industry, tourism industry, sports industry, etc., our goal is not only to have a certain competitive advantage, but also to exclude competitors, so that competitors cannot enter.

        I also hope that Wanda’s transformation can achieve the purpose of not being affected by the economic cycle. China’s economic downturn began in 2013. Although the RRR and interest rates were cut, the economic improvement was still not particularly obvious, indicating that China’s economy is in a downward channel, and the decline has not stopped. This is the economic cycle.

The real estate industry has reached an inflection point

        What will the cycle bring? It may bring a fatal blow to the cyclical industry. This industry is real estate and bulk materials, which are typical cyclical industries. For example, when real estate is selling well, it goes up when it is not easy to sell, and it enters the economic downturn cycle. No matter what, it is difficult to sell.

        What is particularly uncomfortable is that the real estate industry has been in the real estate industry for so many years, in 1993, 1994, and in 2007 and 2008. At that time, it was very difficult. No matter how much the price was reduced, we did not buy it. The reason why we transformed was that we had our own ideas and used our own transformation methods to iron out the cycle of this industry.

        For example, we invest in light assets, investment funds or wealth management products. Our purpose is not to be affected by the economic cycle. Whether house prices rise or fall has nothing to do with us. We don’t have to consider house prices.

        The current trend of the real estate industry has changed, and the industry has reached an inflection point. This inflection point is not V-shaped, but L-shaped. It takes a long time for supply and demand to balance, and real estate will be difficult within ten or eight years.

        The real estate industry can never return to the "buy is earn" situation, and the "make money while lying down" situation is over. The industry has changed, and we have made a judgment on the long-term trend. We feel that we can no longer take the path of sales to earn cash flow, and we have decisively adjusted from 2004.

 Transformation is in line with national strategic adjustment

        Wanda’s transformation is also in line with the country’s strategic requirements. The whole of China is transforming and restructuring, and it is better to pay the price for the country to transform. Our country will shift to a domestic demand-based economic development model. More than 60% of the products we produce are now sold to foreign countries, and our consumption rate is 40%. Products worth 100 *******st be sold to foreigners for 60 yuan to support our development. The current consumption rate in the United States may be 85% to 90%, and in developed countries, it is basically 70% to 80%.

        In the future, our production will be domestic independent consumption, and this economy will not be so dangerous. This has the voice over, and there will be no anti-dumping. If our market is large enough, all markets will be in China.

        Another point is that Wanda’s transformation is accelerating investment, not in excess capacity, not in cement and steel, or even in automobiles. What we are investing in now is the service industry, which increases employment and expands domestic demand, and it is what the country needs. Investment in e-commerce is high-tech, and investment in tourism is encouraged and supported by the state.

        Corporate culture determines Wanda’s transformation

        Wanda’s transformation is determined by Wanda’s corporate culture. Wanda is a company that keeps tossing and turning. We are constantly changing ourselves and seeking changes, because only by constantly seeking changes, constantly looking for newer models, and longer-term cash flow can this company be safe and meet the eight words mentioned to the company more than 20 years ago, "International Wanda, a century-old enterprise".

        We have worked hard to continuously find in practice. Now we believe that Wanda has been balanced with four industries, relying on and supporting each other to form a good ecosystem and ecosystem. I estimate that this company will have no problem for a while, regardless of whether I am there or not.

        I hope that my greatest contribution in life will be to create a great organization, and this organization is still there.

JD.com leads the e-commerce procurement market and joins hands with transportation to create a smart procurement landscape

  Today, with the rapid development of the Internet, the railway transportation industry is actively joining hands with the Internet, cooperating with upstream and downstream enterprises, innovating the railway development model, promoting the "dual-network integration" of the high-speed rail network and the Internet, and helping to build smart railways. This can be confirmed in the recently released "China Enterprise E-commerce Procurement Development Report (2017) ".

  On December 6, at the 2017 (3rd) Internet + Enterprise Procurement Summit Forum, the CCID Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly released the first "China Enterprise E-commerce Procurement Development Report (2017) " (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") in our country. The report pointed out that: the size of the e-commerce procurement market has reached 100 billion, an increase of more than 70% year-on-year, and the e-commerce procurement is active in the enterprise-level e-commerce market. Among them, JD.com enterprises purchased 48.6% of the share to occupy the first place in the e-commerce procurement market. At the meeting, experts said that in 2017, the proportion of online procurement by enterprises in our country has exceeded 50%, among which the transportation, manufacturing and financial industries have made outstanding achievements in promoting the e-commerce of procurement.

The "China Enterprise E-commerce Procurement Development Report (2017) " was released, ranking first in the JD.com market

  With the continuous advancement of the "Internet +" strategy and railway reform, the transportation industry, as the main force of economic operation, is actively exploring the e-commerce transformation and upgrading of enterprise procurement. The reporter combed through the data and found that among the 18 railway bureaus in the country, there are 11 that cooperate with JD.com Enterprise Purchase to promote the speed of the procurement supply chain. JD.com Enterprise Purchase has an absolute leading position in the e-commerce procurement market of the railway industry. Through the provision of smart procurement solutions and the logistics advantages of 100% coverage of administrative districts and counties across the country, JD.com Enterprise Purchase can effectively solve the problems of railway bureaus concerned about the cost and efficiency of the procurement supply chain. JD.com Enterprise Purchase is helping the transportation industry enter a new era of intelligent procurement through leading technology and strong resources.

  JD.com customized solutions deeply empower enterprises

  "How difficult it is to meet the demand", "How difficult it is to manage suppliers", "How difficult it is to approve the process", "Remote regions, high distribution costs", "The arbitrariness of multi-channel procurement is very large" are the persistent problems that the transportation industry has always faced in material procurement. In the process of upgrading e-commerce procurement, different units also have their own different painpoints to be solved. In the context of full openness, full coverage, full process management of the whole road and the creation of smart railways, the e-commerce model has gradually become an effective solution.

  Faced with the many pain points, complex problems, and remote distribution areas in the transportation industry, JD.com has been able to solve the problems of reducing costs and increasing efficiency for transportation customers and accelerating the response speed of the supply chain through the accumulation of technological innovation in smart procurement and its own traditional advantages such as enterprise-level supply chain.

  Taking the cooperation between Shanghai Railway Bureau and JD.com as an example, the reform of e-commerce for material procurement by Shanghai Railway Bureau has clarified that a new platform for cooperation with JD.com enterprises must focus on railways and strive for simplicity, convenience and efficiency. In response to the needs of Shanghai Railway Bureau, JD.com and Shanghai Railway Bureau have joined hands to create a new "e-commerce direct purchase" model dedicated to serving Shanghai Railway Bureau. A brand-new "JD.com Shangtie Mall" e-commerce platform has been built, becoming the first e-commerce direct purchase platform in JD.com to achieve a complete closed-loop procurement process. Under the new model, with the help of JD.com’s enterprise procurement platform, enterprises only need to "place an order with one click" to centralize procurement transactions in "one stop". The purchased goods are directly sent to the first-line work area and team of the railway station section by JD.com.

JD.com enterprises purchase to reduce the burden of procurement for Shanghai Railway Bureau

  It is understood that since the launch of JD.com and Shanghai Railway Bureau’s cooperation on JD.com Iron Mall, it has been through the platform "e-commerce direct purchase" of office supplies, computer consumables, low-value consumables and other small commodities-based general materials 93.82 million yuan, which saves 18.81 million yuan compared with traditional procurement channels and saves 16.7%. Shanghai Railway Bureau’s e-commerce procurement upgrade benefits have begun to appear.

  Guo Zhiyi, director of the Material Purchasing Office of China Railway Shanghai Bureau Group Co., Ltd., said at the meeting: "In the cooperation with the JD.com team, I feel more of the openness, integration and excellence brought to us by e-commerce Internet companies. This kind of work attitude and work idea. I believe that in the future, e-commerce direct purchase will bring new development to the Shanghai Railway Bureau, achieve better services, and provide support for the development of the Yangtze River Delta and the national transportation."

  In addition, in cooperation with Kunming Railway Bureau, JD.com Enterprise Purchase has customized a complete set of customized solutions from supplier management, commodities, payment, delivery to procurement platform for Kunming Railway Bureau. Including customizing the exclusive LOGO procurement page, jointly developing a multi-level approval system, designing customized payment methods, invoice issuance and other functions; at the same time, JD.com Enterprise Purchase also regularly provides project multi-dimensional analysis reports to provide corresponding decision-making basis for procurement management, so that Kunming Bureau has a clear understanding of the current procurement situation, simplifies the process, and controls reasonably.

  According to statistics, on the JD.com enterprise shopping platform, JD.com saves enterprise procurement costs by collecting and monitoring commodity price information. Compared with traditional procurement channels, the savings rate can reach 15.2%; and the delivery time through JD.com is also shortened from the past average of 8 days to 3 days, effectively reducing the warehousing cost of railway enterprises. The electronic procurement management of the whole process has greatly improved the efficiency of financial settlement.

  The remarkable cooperation results have not only shown a new development model for e-commerce procurement in the transportation industry, but also made JD.com enterprise procurement highly recognized by the railway industry. Today, more than half of the railway bureaus in the country have cooperated with JD.com, which has greatly accelerated the upgrading of e-commerce procurement in the transportation industry.

  Technology Drives Change in the Smart Age

  With the application of new-generation information technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence on e-commerce platforms, e-commerce procurement will be intelligently upgraded. The report points out that under this trend, human intervention in procurement will be further reduced, and procurement behavior will become more scientific and effective. The era of intelligence in enterprise procurement is coming.

  The essence of enterprise e-commerce procurement is to transform the procurement process through information technology, so that the procurement cost is lower, the efficiency is higher, and the management is better. Technology plays a decisive role in the quality of e-commerce procurement behavior. For example: electronic infrastructure such as electronic signatures, electronic contracts, and electronic invoices ensure the convenience, efficiency, and green of the whole procurement process; personalized analysis of big data platforms makes "on-demand procurement" possible; data cloud, supply chain compass and other tools provide intelligent warehouse management and accurate sales forecasting to ensure accurate delivery of logistics; decision-making reports based on data analytics help realize visual procurement management.

  New platforms and new technologies have brought new opportunities to open up e-commerce procurement in the transportation industry. It is also the innovative technology and service capabilities of retail infrastructure that have given enterprises more confidence in e-commerce procurement reform. JD.com, as a leader in enterprise-level e-commerce procurement platforms, has been in a leading position with a market share of 48.6%. JD.com has been committed to using technical means to create a sunny, efficient, smart and open enterprise procurement process. Focusing on the driving technology of smart procurement, JD.com proposed six general technical standards, and then realized eight system support platforms on the standards to realize intelligent transformation of the seven core links in procurement. At present, JD.com has launched related products. These include "JD.com Enterprise Cloud", which focuses on cloud computing technology, JSF, which focuses on API technology, Moonshot, which focuses on AI technology, JOYlink, which focuses on IOT, JD.com Vientiane, which focuses on big data, and blockchain.

  "Smart procurement should be: have temperature, understand" you "and have no boundaries," Song Chunzheng, vice president of JD.com Group and head of key account business, said at the meeting. And how can procurement do this? Song Chunzheng said that through the system front, through the connection with the entire OA and HR systems of the enterprise, collect data to accurately analyze employee portraits, realize intelligent decision-making, and make users feel better.

  In order to deal with the diversification of enterprise procurement scenarios and the complexity of demand, JD.com enterprises purchase through data, network and intelligent technical means, according to each enterprise’s previous procurement behavior and purchase cycle rules, establish efficient, accurate and safe large database, so as to achieve accurate insight into enterprise user requests, fully grasp the procurement needs of enterprises in different time periods and scenarios, predict in advance what enterprises really need and want, and provide them with matching procurement services in advance, so that enterprise procurement really enters the era of wisdom.

  Song Chunzheng said that in the future, JD.com enterprise procurement can be open to all partners across the board. Starting from the essence of procurement – "efficiency", "cost", "experience" and "service", it will open up its own procurement service capabilities to the outside world, create more procurement service scenario solutions, and cooperate with industry suppliers to establish an empowered ecosystem to build a symbiotic, symbiotic and regenerative enterprise procurement ecosystem.

Hong Kong flavor is no longer there, but it still won the Chinese film box office championship in May 1st

"The Bomb Disposal Expert"


1905 movie network news As one of the most eye-catching Chinese film schedules after the opening of this year, May 1st has assembled a group of Chinese films with excellent quality and different styles. Among the four main films, "The Bomb Disposal" successfully led the box office with 220 million, surpassing the early attention. A work that is almost Hong Kong-style lineup can attract so much money in the mainland. It has to remind people of an old topic: will the Hong Kong film craze recover again?


Hong Kong film is synonymous with a golden age for the Chinese film industry. From the 1970s to the mid-1990s, a large number of influential film works emerged in Hong Kong. At the same time, with the surge in Hong Kong film production and the best-selling of works overseas, the production concept of genre films was gradually introduced into the system, which is also the source of the creation of Hong Kong films to have a hundred schools of thought contending for prosperity. Among them, police and gangster films like this have always been one of the hottest genre films in Hong Kong. However, looking at its details, "The Bomb Disposal" can no longer be counted as those "once" Hong Kong films we often mention.


In the words of the film critic David Podwell, the Hong Kong films of the 1990s in his eyes can be said to be "all too much, all crazy". In that era of blossoming flowers, the relative freedom of the Hong Kong film market, coupled with a high degree of commerciality, made a large number of Hong Kong filmmakers began to explore the entertainment tastes of ordinary market audiences, so that various types of films began to be produced systematically.

Lin ZhengyingThe zombie movie was a smash hit

Due to the success of various Hong Kong-style films, a large number of homogeneous works continue to appear in the Hong Kong film market. For example, the number of Hong Kong-style zombie films and martial arts films that have been popular in the Asia-Pacific is eye-popping. Looking at Lin Zhengying’s zombie series alone, there have been different types of comedy, thriller, magic and so on, but most of them are shoddy. On the other hand, the short production cycle of the film at that time was also amazing to modern filmmakers. Andy Lau once had the reputation of "Brother 14" in the circle, because he had set a record of 14 films in one year. Today, such a "fast food" filming efficiency is almost impossible. In addition, Hollywood movies began to attack the global market, and Hong Kong stars gradually emigrated out of the country. People’s tastes were no longer limited to Hong Kong-style low-cost productions. Under the combination of various internal and external factors, the death of old-fashioned Hong Kong films was also inevitable.


But then again, does the decline of old-fashioned Hong Kong films represent the decline of Hong Kong films? I don’t think the two can be equated. Although the end of traditional Hong Kong films is inevitable, the future rise of "new Hong Kong films" can also be predicted.


After the old-fashioned Hong Kong films gradually lost their market, a new development direction emerged with the famous CEPA agreement signed between the mainland and Hong Kong in 2003. A large number of Hong Kong filmmakers chose to go north to find opportunities, and the production teams of the mainland and Hong Kong also began to deepen cooperation. Therefore, under the change of times, a new mode of survival of Hong Kong films was opened.

"Chills."

Judging from the domestic film market in recent years, a large number of high-quality films co-produced in mainland Hong Kong have begun to emerge., "Cold War", and a series of Hong Kong-style works have achieved good box office and reputation in China. And the excellent results of "Bomb Locker" in the May 1st film also prove that Hong Kong-style genre films are still in line with the taste of the audience, although these films are no longer purely made in Hongkong.

The tunnel construction site of "The Bomb Disposal Expert"

The rise of the co-production genre is rooted in taking the essence of the classic and removing the dross. First of all, in the production level, we see the well-intentioned new generation of "Hong Kong films". The 1:1 modeling of the Hung Hom tunnel in "The Bomb Locker" is expensive, and there has never been such a Hollywood-level production in the old-fashioned Hong Kong film. The police film emphasizes the opposition between soldiers and thieves, with a clear distinction between black and white. It mainly relies on the hot action scenes to attract audiences, and the realistic environment setting makes this kind of genre film with scenes even more powerful.


Many people regret the departure of Hong Kong films, on the one hand, they are actually regretting the aging of a group of actors. At that time, the level of star-making in Hong Kong was very representative. Film production companies such as Media Asia and Emperor began to adopt a series of internationally accepted business methods such as high-paid stars from a very early age, and also allowed directors and stars to form their own subsidiaries, and they made movies independently. Although film production today does not have the freedom of Hong Kong films at the beginning, it has gradually expanded in the casting industry. Hong Kong stars are no longer the only dominant genre film.

Jiang WuAnd Andy Lau

In the actor part, most of the co-productions will introduce mainland actors to join. The villain Huo Huo played by Jiang Wu in "The Bomb Disposal" is a combination of madness and agility. In classic Hong Kong films, we often see vicious villains appear, such as the "four villains" in the Hong Kong film industry, who specialize in playing such arrogant, vicious and somewhat brainless villains. However, such a monotonous role setting is obviously no longer in line with today’s new generation of movie-watching groups, and the public wants to see some characters with distinct personalities and complex personalities appear. And Huo Huo, in addition to being ruthless, has a warm affection for his younger brother. This almost selfish love makes him even crazier. Such villains are more vivid in appearance than villains who can only play ruthless.

Andy Lau andCai Hanyi

In addition to the villain, the protagonist played by Andy Lau and the teacher played by Song Jia have a touching love affair. This emotional scene outside the main line makes this hero not just a face-to-face positive character, but his weak side is displayed in front of the audience, making the protagonist fuller and more humane. It is also specially said that although Hua Zai, as the lead actor, shines brightly in the film, the young police officer played by the new generation actor Cai Hanyi in the film also contributed to the performance of the king in a shorter scene. In addition to the tension set in the plot part, he is more impressive than Hua Zai in some ways.

Andy Lau deals with the final bomb at the end of the film

At the end of "The Bomb Locker", Zhang Zai Shan, a bomb disposal expert played by Liu Tianwang, sacrificed his life in order to save the Hung Hom tunnel. In today’s film culture market where superhero movies are running all over the place, the demise of heroes has become a rare thing, but recalling those classics engraved in people’s memory: Chen Zhen in China, Chen Yongren in China, and Xiao Ma in China, all of which culminate in the end of the protagonist’s life. When Zhang Zai Shan cuts the last line of life, the residual Hong Kong flavor seems to take us back to that golden age. Although the success of "The Bomb Locker" does not represent the recovery of Hong Kong films, it more allows the audience to see the new direction of Hong Kong films’ transplantation and reconstruction in today’s new era.
