On March 6th, HarmonyOS Zhixing’s two high-profile models, the 2025 model and the official opening of the pre-sale, set off a boom in the automobile market. Among them, in 2025, the pre-sale price of the M9 for the border is 478,000 yuan, and that of the M8 for the border is 368,000 yuan. It is reported that the 2025 M9 will be listed in shock this month, and the M8 is scheduled to officially meet with consumers in April.

Wenjie M8 is positioned as "flagship SUV of family wisdom", with a wheelbase of 3105mm, which is only 5mm shorter than Wenjie M9, the same as the wheelbase, and the body size is close to it. It is available in two versions, 5-seat version and 6-seat version, to meet the travel needs of different families. Judging from the pre-sale price, the M-8 card in Wenjie fills the gap between the M-9 card and the M-9 card in Wenjie, further improves the product matrix of HarmonyOS Zhixing, and enters the high-end SUV market of new energy together with the M-9 card in 2025. In terms of power, M8 will simultaneously introduce two power forms: extended range and pure electricity. The extended range version is equipped with a range extender with a power of 1.5T and 118kW, and uses a driving motor with the front 165kW and the rear 227kW. The maximum speed is 200km/h, and its strength cannot be underestimated.

The 2025 model M9 was declared in February this year, including plug-in extended range and pure electric power, and equipped with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited ternary lithium-ion battery. This change has been upgraded in terms of intelligent driving hardware, which further enhances the intelligent driving ability and brings users a more advanced travel experience. It is worth mentioning that HarmonyOS Zhixing also provides optional original hardware upgrade scheme for the owners of the current M9 model, and at the same time, the current model will continue to upgrade the software features of OTA, so that the old car owners can also enjoy the constantly upgraded service. Externally, the 2025 model M9 adds the color of Jinrui red, which is more unique and distinguished. In terms of seats, 5-seat version and 6-seat version are available for consumers to choose freely. In addition, the new car is also equipped with ten black technologies, such as Huawei’s advanced intelligent driving, Xuanwu hard-core body, Huawei Turing platform and intelligent privacy windows, etc., to improve the performance and quality of vehicles in all directions.

After the pre-sale was opened, the market response of the two models was extremely enthusiastic. Wen Jie M9 2025 pre-sale 6 hours small order over 11000 units; The pre-sale price of the M8 started from 368,000 yuan, and the small order exceeded 21,000 units in 6 hours, and the small order exceeded 7,500 units in 1 hour after the opening of the reservation, showing consumers’ high recognition and expectation for these two new cars.

Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, chairman of BG, and chairman of BU, a smart car solution, said that the launch of the M8 and the M9 in 2025 is another important layout of HarmonyOS Zhixing in the field of new energy vehicles. With the advantages of Huawei’s full-stack technology, ever-changing luxury space, all-dimensional safety and more personalized selection, these two models are expected to stand out in the highly competitive new energy vehicle market and bring consumers better and smarter travel choices.

Judging from the market competition pattern, there are relatively few participants in the 400,000-class hybrid SUV market, and the external competing products of M8 are mainly L9. According to the analysis of Ping An Securities Research Report, the expansion trend of the extended-range market is clear, and the customer M8 is expected to replicate the successful experience of the customer M9, accept the sinking market bonus of the customer M9, and become an explosion-proof vehicle of 400,000 yuan. It is estimated that the steady-state monthly sales of the customer M8 will reach about 15,000 vehicles. In the 500,000-class SUV market in 2025, with its continuous product upgrade and technical advantages, it is expected to continue the brilliant achievement of the 500,000-class sales champion for 11 consecutive months.

With the opening of the pre-sale of the 2025 model, the layout of HarmonyOS Zhixing in the new energy vehicle market is more perfect and the product matrix is more abundant. The listing of these two new cars will bring more quality choices to consumers, and their performance in the market in the future is worth looking forward to.

　　When she was discharged from the hospital, she took a picture at the gate of the hospital.

　　Her husband records the changes of her illness on the desk calendar every day, and the photos are provided by Piao Piao Sao.

　　Oral speaker: 53-year-old female, Piaopiaosa (net name), emergency doctor of Wuhan Eighth Hospital.

　　On February 16th, the doctor named Piao Piao Sao was discharged from the hospital and went home for 6 days. Half a month ago, she thought she would never come back.

　　Recalling the 20 days from illness to critical illness to recovery, Piao Piao sighed that "the disease developed rapidly beyond imagination". As a medical worker, she wants to remind all the patients who are being treated with her own experience that COVID-19’s clinical manifestations are diverse, with different degrees of severity, and her condition changes quite quickly, sometimes within a few hours. Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment are the key. Especially when there is any discomfort in your body, don’t bear it. You must inform the doctor at the first time, which is probably the key point to decide life and death.

　　For hours, I was so asymptomatic that I couldn’t walk

　　I have been sitting there since the emergency department was changed into a fever clinic.

　　On the morning of January 23rd, I took my temperature as usual: normal. I ate a bowl of egg noodles and rushed to the hospital. On that day, there were still many patients.

　　At 9 o’clock in the morning, I received a notice from the hospital, asking us to take time to do a CT scan. I usually have the habit of fitness, and my health has always been very good. My colleagues call me Iron Man. But I took the CT as required. "There is something wrong with the film, 4 places!" When I got the CT results, my heart thumped and I began to think about when I was recruited.

　　I have taken my temperature every morning since I went to the fever clinic. On the 22nd, there were a lot of patients. Although they called each other, there were several patients and their families standing in front of me as soon as they entered the clinic. The head nurse was worried that the air in the clinic would not circulate, so she opened the window. I sat by the window and felt a little cold, so I closed the window. She was worried that the air in the clinic was not circulating, and I felt cold. We kept opening and closing the windows, perhaps because of the cold, or because we were too tired to work overtime for several days in a row. In short, our immunity declined. This is the only reason I can think of.

　　I don’t have a fever, and I don’t have any symptoms. I should be in the early stage. I should be able to get well soon when I go home to take medicine. I quickly diagnosed myself. I went to the pharmacy to get moxifloxacin, oseltamivir, Abidor tablets and Lianhua Qingwen capsules, and went back to the office to pack my things and go home. Feeling a little hot in my head, I took out a thermometer and measured it: 38.7 degrees. I have a fever. I decided to go home at once.

　　It only takes five or six minutes to walk from home to the hospital. When I get home, I’m going to take a bath and then sleep. Before I entered the bathroom, I began to have a severe headache and vomiting, and I had no energy at all. "I heard that you were recruited?" My brother called. "There is something wrong with taking CT, and people are a little uncomfortable. I won’t tell you first." At this time, I have no strength to hold my mobile phone, and I just want to hang up quickly.

　　My husband went back to his hometown, and I was the only one at home. At this point, my whole body is extremely weak. The disease is developing so fast that I didn’t expect it. I must go to the hospital at once. The director’s phone call came in. He was infected a week earlier than me, saying that he knew my situation and immediately sent someone to pick me up at the gate of the community. From home to the door of the community, it usually takes only two or three minutes, and I walked for more than 20 minutes that day. For the first time, I feel that the road is so difficult and long. If only someone could carry me. A doctor and two nurses in the emergency department were already waiting at the door, and they pushed me to the hospital by flat car.

　　The fever has gone down, and I thought I was getting better.

　　I was admitted to the hospital. Woke up again, it was the next afternoon, and I had a high fever for a day and a night.

　　After treatment, the body temperature dropped quickly. During my stay in the Eighth Hospital, my temperature was high and low, and I kept sweating repeatedly, and I had to change several sets of underwear a day. The most uncomfortable thing is headache and severe fatigue. The nurse came to give me an injection, and I didn’t even have the strength to raise my hand. I have no appetite at all. I only ate two or two porridge for five days in hospital.

　　On the fifth day, the results of nucleic acid test came out: positive, and I was diagnosed as COVID-19. My husband was very worried about me, so he asked someone to buy albumin and globulin for me, but my temperature never dropped to normal. On the eighth day, I was informed that I was transferred to Jinyintan Hospital in Wuhan for further treatment.

　　There were four people on a transfer car, and there was no oxygen on the car. I opened my mouth as wide as possible and kept panting. "How long will it take to get there?" We kept asking along the way, and it seemed that there was no end in sight for more than 10 minutes.

　　At 1: 00 noon on the 30th, I was admitted to an ordinary isolation ward on the second floor of Jinyintan Hospital, where the attending team was the Shanghai medical team. After hormone shock therapy, my fever dropped the next morning, my chest suddenly became clear, I felt much more comfortable and my spirit improved.

　　I breathed a sigh of relief and thought that my condition was developing in a good direction.

　　On the third day of transfer, his condition turned sharply and he was dying.

　　February 1st, 10th day of hospitalization, 3rd day of transfer.

　　No one expected that my condition would suddenly take a turn for the worse at night: I had difficulty breathing and a severe cough, as if my heart would pop out at any time after running 10 thousand meters. The heart rate is very slow, and there is an indescribable chest pain sweeping through the body. If you move a little, you will be in pain. I think this should be the second counterattack of the virus.

　　I am a doctor. According to the symptoms, I judged that I had endocarditis and pericardial effusion, so I quickly told the doctor about my situation. I vaguely heard the nurse say that "the situation is not very good, and people are dying." I don’t think I can make it tonight myself. Thinking that I might never see my husband and daughter again, I struggled to get through to my husband. "I can’t … …” Hearing this sentence, my husband cried with a "wow". Every time I say a word, my chest pains are suffocating. I can only pick the most worrying things and make a simple explanation to him.

　　Soon, the nurse came to draw blood and the doctor added medicine to me. The next day, my test results came out, pericarditis. The doctor said, fortunately, I spoke early and won valuable time for them to deal with it. My life was saved by myself.

　　After that, my situation improved day by day. On the eighth day, I felt that I had recovered almost, and applied for CT and nucleic acid examination. I heard that I wanted to leave the hospital, but my husband worried that I was not well and advised me to stay a few more days. I can’t occupy such precious medical resources. I have to make room for patients who need urgent treatment. In order to reassure him, I sent him photos of three meals a day, and also asked my patients to help me take a video of my exercise in the ward and send it to him.

　　On February 11th, I was discharged from the hospital. After life and death, it seems like a lifetime ago. When my husband came to pick me up, he specially brought the changes of my illness that he recorded for me every day for 20 days. Seeing the familiar fonts on the desk calendar, I burst into tears. Only after experiencing life and death can we know that living is really happy.

　　I’ll be isolated at home for another eight days, and then I can go to work. I am very grateful to my colleagues in the hospital for their care and support, and to all the medical staff of the Shanghai Medical Team of Jinyintan Hospital for their meticulous treatment. I want to go to the battlefield again and fight with my brothers and sisters to the end. I want to see Wuhan filled with fireworks as soon as possible. When the quarantine expires, I will donate plasma and treat more patients with my own blood. (Reporter Liu Xuan)

Tiger Sniff Note: Yesterday (April 11th), Netease Cloud Music announced the completion of the A round of financing. As a latecomer in the music industry, Netease Cloud Music became a "dark horse" with a valuation of 8 billion in four years. What did they do right?

This article in Caijing World reviews the growth track of Netease Cloud Music, including the origin and project establishment of the product.Tiger sniffing in the previous articleIt has been involved, so it was deleted when it was reproduced in this article.

This article is transferred from Financial World (ID: cjtxzk) | edited by Lu Hualei in Kong Mingming | Li Ran.

Netease Cloud Music, an App with a deep red background, has become an out-and-out dark horse in the online music market, and it will face more tests in the future with the great integration of the industry.

On April 11th, Netease Cloud Music held a press conference in Shanghai, announcing that the number of users exceeded 300 million. At the same time, it announced that it had completed the Series A financing of 750 million yuan, which was led by Shanghai Radio Station and Shanghai Culture, Radio, Film and Television Group (SMG). The valuation of this financing was as high as 8 billion yuan, and Netease Cloud Music, which was only launched for 4 years, was among the unicorn clubs.

Just after the New Year, the singer Zhao Lei’s name was brushed all over the circle of friends.

　

In the eyes of many people, the 31-year-old Beijing male singer became popular because she won the current runner-up with a folk song "Chengdu" in Hunan Satellite TV program "Singer". But in Netease Cloud Music, the name Zhao Lei has long been as hot as Jay Chou.

　

On October 24th, 2016, Zhao Lei’s "Chengdu" studio version was released exclusively on Netease Cloud Music, with over 30,000 comments a day, and 50,000 comments on Jay Chou’s new songs.

　

On December 21, 2016, Zhao Lei’s digital album "Can’t Grow Up" was exclusively released in Netease Cloud Music. Two months later, that is, two weeks after he won the runner-up, the sales of the album on Netease Cloud Music exceeded 200,000, which is nearly twice the total sales of the album on other music platforms.

　

From the popularity of Zhao Lei, we can see the characteristics of Netease Cloud Music, which is also a music platform. Zhao Lei’s fan growth rate, album sales and comments on Netease Cloud Music far exceed other platforms. Even QQ music with Zhao Lei’s exclusive live singing of "Chengdu" and more users failed to surpass Netease Cloud Music in data.

　

▲ In Netease Cloud Music, the name Zhao Lei has long been as hot as Jay Chou.

　

This is related to the community atmosphere and user types of Netease Cloud Music. Most of its more than 200 million users are young people from first-and second-tier cities, aged between 15 and 35, mostly students and white-collar workers. These people regard Netease Cloud Music as a music version of Weibo and a circle of friends, where they not only listen to songs and write song lists, but also frequently interact with independent musicians such as Zhao Lei, Li Zhi and Chen Li.

　

Compared with users of other platforms, these users contributed more music payment data. In 2016, the number of paid members of Netease Cloud Music increased by more than 9 times compared with 2015, while the number of digital album buyers increased by more than 7 times compared with 2015.

　

"Now QQ music and cool dog music rank in the top two in the industry, and we are tied for third place with Cool Me." Zhu Yiwen, CEO of Netease Cloud Music, told the reporter of Caijing Tianxia Weekly.

　

In the ranking of mobile application apps published by China Unicom in March 2017, QQ Music and Cool Dog Music ranked the top two in terms of monthly active users of 200 million and 150 million, while Netease Cloud Music and Cool Me Music ranked 56 million and 44 million respectively.

　

This App with crimson as the background color has become an out-and-out dark horse in the online music market.

　

According to the 2016 China Mobile Music Market Annual Comprehensive Report released by Analysys think tank, Netease Cloud Music increased by 163.8% in 2016 compared with the same period in 2014. Another data worth mentioning is the "music library utilization rate", that is, the efficiency of songs in the music library being played and listened to by users. The usage rate of Netease Cloud Music reaches 80%, while the industry average is less than 20%. This means that Netease Cloud Music is better at revitalizing the music library, and their users are also better at discovering "unpopular" music.

　

In April 2016, Netease Cloud Music was upgraded from the Music Product Center of Hangzhou Research Institute to the Music Division, becoming an institution on the same level as games, mailboxes, media and other projects. At the same time, it was reported that it started financing of 1 billion yuan, with a valuation of 8 billion yuan.

　

playlist

UGC mode not only increases the number of "song lists", but also improves the quality of song lists. The most important thing is to make the "music playing software" originally defined as a tool have social attributes-after editing and uploading the song list, users will actively push the song list on social media to show their music taste, and users with the same genre hobbies will comment and share under the song list. This makes the originally lonely music play lively.

　

"Most of the previous products told users’ I have a lot of songs here, you can listen to and download songs here’, and we want to tell users that we can help you find good songs, especially those that you may like but you don’t know."

　

In January 2013, Netease Cloud Music logged into the App Store, and Zhu Yiwen brushed Weibo all night that night and found that it "caused a sensation, and many people commented that it was a subversive product".

The first group of users are "musicians from major music forums or platforms". With the help of Chloe Wang’s connections in the music circle, they called "more than 20 best DJs in China" to upload song lists in Netease Cloud Music Production, which quickly caused users to follow suit, and more music lovers entered Cloud Music and made their own song lists.

　

Users have uploaded their own song lists compiled in different environments and emotions to Netease Cloud Music. Just from the name of the song list, they can see their love for this way of creation. Besides the common song lists that express their emotional needs, such as "those songs that accompanied me through the lovelorn period" and "healing songs", there are also songs that are suitable for different environments, such as "essential songs for knitting sweaters in the sun in winter", "most suitable songs for drinking coffee in the afternoon" and "essential songs for the elderly chess room".

　

Some fans enjoy making song lists without any material rewards, just hoping to meet "bosom friends".

　

"In version 1.0, in order to encourage some opinion leaders to create song lists, we will put their song lists on the homepage for recommendation, so that the collection and playback of song lists will increase rapidly, which is a great encouragement for the creators."

　

Of course, in addition to the appreciation from "bosom friends", song list makers will also get accusations from other users, such as "it is really a failure not to put such a song into the song list", and such nitpicking and responses have spawned user interaction, which, in Zhu Yiwen’s view, is "the embryonic form of music socialization".

　

Now, cloud music generates an average of 420,000 song lists every day. On the cloud music platform, the number of high-quality song lists (songs collected by more than 100 people) exceeds 200 million, among which the most clicked song list is "epic music that shocked the soul" made by ordinary users, with 1.17 million people collecting it, 28.82 million playing it and more than 17,000 comments. Some users commented under this song list, "Because of this song list,

　

"Now the song list has become a productivity tool." Zhu Yiwen said that with the increase in the number and quality of song lists, these song lists have replaced "music collections" in a wider range to meet the needs of different scenes. Some wedding companies directly use the wedding song list on Netease Cloud Music as the background sound of the wedding scene, while some video production companies choose the appropriate background music from the song list.

　

Today, the homepage of Netease Cloud Music no longer recommends a few songs in a unified way, but makes "personalized recommendations" according to each user’s music habits. Using big data technology, they will recommend songs that they may like according to the characteristics of different users.

　

"For example, if one million people like to listen to Blue Lotus as well as Ice Rain, which proves that the two songs are related, then we will recommend this combination to those who only listen to one of the songs. This is the basic algorithm for our song recommendation." Zhu Yiwen said.

　

This song list combination algorithm has brought higher activity to Netease Cloud Music. Now 50% of users are used to clicking and reading comments when listening to songs, which is a scene that has never appeared on other music platforms.

　

▲ Recently, Netease Cloud Music made the high-quality music reviews of ordinary users into posters and put them on the Hangzhou subway to explode the circle of friends.

　

In Zhu Yiwen’s view, this data proves that they have changed the listening habits of some people.

　

"In the past, everyone turned off the screen and listened to music after turning on the music player, but now they will listen to songs while listening to them, which proves that he is not listening to songs alone, but listening to songs with a group of people, which brings a human touch to Netease Cloud Music."

　

This has become the biggest moat of Netease Cloud Music. These music-loving users have continuously created content for Netease Cloud Music Platform, which extends a better "community atmosphere".

　

"The function may be imitated by others. If we are just a playing tool, others can easily copy our function. But today we are a community and they can’t copy my content. "

　

After Netease Cloud Music launched the "song list", other music playback platforms also launched similar functions. Even Cool Dog Music opened the "song barrage" in June 2016, and user comments appeared on the cover of songs in the form of barrage, further improving user interaction. However, the users of Netease Cloud Music are more active. In the ranking of monthly traffic consumption of music App users in China Unicom’s March Wo Index, Netease Cloud Music users lead other music platforms with 87MB, while QQ music users’ monthly traffic is 43MB and Cool Dog’s is 13MB.

　

change　

　

Last year, changes in Netease Cloud Music attracted the attention of the industry.

　

In April 2016, Chloe Wang left Netease Cloud Music and joined Baidu Music three months later as the general manager. At the same time, the structure of Netease Cloud Music was further adjusted. Zhu Yiwen was promoted from the earlier product director to the CEO of Netease Cloud Music, responsible for the overall management of Netease Cloud Music and reporting directly to Ding Lei. Chloe Wang’s previous operation and management work was taken over by Ding Bo, vice president of Netease Cloud Music, who reported to Zhu Yiwen.

　

▲ Ding Bo, vice president of Netease Cloud Music, took over the operation management and reported to Zhu Yiwen.

　

The upgraded Netease Cloud Music has increased its support for independent musicians.

　

"Music also has a niche market. In the past, everyone was keen to listen to those popular songs, but now different people actually like different songs. Just like in the early years, everyone only watched CCTV, but now with the rise of various media and more people like different content, everyone’s tastes have been divided. " Zhu Yiwen said.

　

In November 2016, Netease Cloud Music released an independent musician support plan called "Stone Plan", which plans to invest 200 million yuan in one year to support independent musicians from seven aspects: promotion resources, album investment, performance opportunities, appreciation opening, music training, musicians’ surroundings and musician index system.

　

"Our definition of independent musicians is very broad. As long as we can record and upload songs, we can be independent musicians. However, we will develop a scoring system for such musicians, which is similar to the Baidu Index, and we will promote and support them according to the status and potential of musicians. " Zhu Yiwen said that these musicians can review and upload songs after filling in their personal identity information in the background. If the data of their songs on the platform is good enough, Netease Cloud Music will focus on exploring and creating new stars.

　

This is how Chen Li, a female folk singer, was discovered.

　

"At the end of 2013, we found that Chen’s data curve on our platform was very beautiful, so we focused on taking out her songs for recommendation. Later, sure enough, she was on fire. Of course, I dare not say that her popularity is all due to Netease Cloud Music, but it can be seen that the sales of her digital album here are record. " Ding Bo said in an interview with the reporter of Caijing Tianxia Weekly.

　

As of March 2017, the number of fans of Chen Li in Netease Cloud Music and QQ Music was 870,000 and 749,000. On July 26th, 2016, she simultaneously released her digital album "Little Dream Most" on Netease Cloud Music, QQ Music and Weibo Music. During the initial sale period-within two weeks, the album sold 50,000 copies in Netease Cloud Music, with sales of 1.01 million yuan. On the QQ music platform, it sold 27,000 copies with a sales volume of 549,000 yuan.

　

▲ The sales volume of Chen Li’s digital album in Netease Cloud Music is record. The activity of independent musicians has made Netease Cloud Music make up for the shortcomings of copyright to some extent.

　

Now there are more than 40,000 independent musicians on Netease Cloud Music Platform. This number may not be the largest among all online music platforms, but it is the highest in terms of activity. These musicians uploaded more than 800,000 original music works. In 2016, the number of settled musicians and uploaded original works doubled year-on-year, and the amount of original music played increased by more than five times.

　

"Independent musicians are more likely to become popular on our platform because our user base is more inclusive of new music. This makes it easier for us to promote some unpopular music, and it is this difference that allows independent musicians to get better development here. " Zhu Yiwen said.

　

The activity of independent musicians has made Netease Cloud Music make up for the shortcomings of copyright to some extent. As a latecomer, although Netease Cloud Music has gathered a popular community through the music+social mode, it still lags behind in terms of song copyright.

　

On July 15th, 2015, QQ Music announced the merger with China Music Group, becoming the largest exclusive copyright giant in China, which brought a lot of pressure to the latecomers.

　

At present, there are more than 10 million songs in Netease Cloud Music Library. Some of these songs are copyrighted by record companies, while others are purchased by Tencent in the form of exclusive copyright, and they need to pay distribution fees or copyright fees to Tencent.

　

Regarding the weakness of copyright, Ding Bo reflected: "Our biggest mistake is that these giants didn’t make timely moves when they went to grab exclusive copyright, which led us to be constrained by others in the future growth rate, but we also took a positive attitude to deal with this situation. We undertook distribution and paid copyright fees, hoping to bring users a better experience."

　

In order to fill the copyright shortcomings, Netease Cloud Music costs a lot.

　

Zhu Yiwen said: "At present, 80% of the total cost of Netease Cloud Music is spent on purchasing copyright." High copyright fees have delayed the profit plan. Since its establishment, Netease Cloud Music has never made a profit.

　

And the emergence of independent musicians let them see another opportunity-from copyright competition to copyright production.

　

On the one hand, they can make profits by selling digital albums. For example, Zhao Lei’s album "Can’t Grow Up" sold more than 200,000 yuan, which brought more than 3.2 million yuan to Netease Cloud Music. This album, which has no physical record and is only sold in digital form, is low in cost, low in price, convenient to buy and sell, and easy to create high sales.

　

On the other hand, they can cooperate with independent musicians and become record companies in the internet age.

　

In an interview with the reporter of Caijing Tianxia Weekly (ID:cjtxzk), Ding Bo said: "Traditional record companies use brokers to help musicians create songs, while the Internet platform can cover all brokers’ businesses. Besides traditional brokers, Internet companies can also help musicians make various data and provide various index reports."

　

Netease’s ambition for "original music" is obvious. Since it can’t surpass its rivals in the copyright of existing songs, why not overtake them in the "original music"?

　

In addition to selling digital rights, they will also open an "appreciation" function for independent musicians. Users can appreciate a favorite song, which may not be much, but it is an encouragement for musicians who have just debuted.

　

Under the situation that competitors monopolize copyright, this way of upstream and downstream development has become the new direction of Netease Cloud Music. In addition to promoting independent musicians, they also invested in music-related hardware manufacturers and undertook ticket sales for some small concerts.

　

At the same time, other music platforms are undergoing a new round of integration.

　

QQ Music and China Music Group merged to become Tencent Music Entertainment Group, with Tencent accounting for 60% of the shares. At present, this huge music group controls 42% of the copyright authorization of music lyrics and 53.1% of the copyright authorization of music recording in China. After the merger, QQ Music, Kugou and Kuwo belong to the same group company, with a market share of more than half.

　

On July 26, 2016, 10 days after the merger was announced, Wu Weilin, general manager of Tencent Digital Music Department, told the media that QQ Music "has achieved profitability", which is the first music streaming service in the world to announce profitability. It is reported that QQ Music will launch a listing plan with a valuation of nearly $10 billion.

　

In December 2015, Baidu Music announced the merger with Taihe Music Group, whose three major music brands, Taihe Wheat Field, Haidie Music and Dashi Copyright, reached various forms of cooperation with hundreds of well-known artists, and also reached in-depth cooperation with more than 100 institutions including the three major record companies in the world, holding music copyrights of more than 12 million through self-production and agency. Baidu Music has officially become a music industry chain company including record companies, copyright agents, live performances, ticketing and other businesses.

　

Netease cloud music, which has reached the front line with a dark horse posture, will face more challenges in the future.

　

But Zhu Yiwen still regards finding good music as the focus of Netease Cloud Music.

　

"I am not a heavy music lover, but I am a music discoverer." Zhu Yiwen said, "In 2013, Boss Ding took me and Chloe Wang to an activity. On the way, Chloe Wang asked us to listen to a song, saying that this song would definitely be popular in the future. At that time, I thought the lyrics were very distinctive, including wild horses and grasslands."

　

After listening to a song, Boss Ding agrees with Chloe Wang’s judgment. Later, this song was really a fire.

　

The singer’s name is Donye.S, and the song title is Miss Dong.

Short video news is changing people’s habit of watching TV news for a long time. The All Media School had previously paid attention to the trend of Washington post’s short video strategy. Today, it once again focuses on methodology. How short video is the most popular?

The Journalist’s Resource website synthesizes many reports and sorts out the essential tips of video editing. To get the best "input-output ratio" of news video production, we need to figure out how long it is most appropriate!

In 2014, a report from the Pew Research Center showed that in the United States, more than 6 out of 10 adults had the habit of watching online videos, and 36% of them chose to watch news videos.

YouTube has more than 1 billion registered users, and the massive user viewing data can most intuitively reflect how long videos are the most popular.

As early as 2012, Pew Research Center began to study the video viewing data on YouTube, and concluded:The most popular video is about 2.1 minutes long.. This video is slightly longer than the local TV news, but shorter than the online evening news collection.

Research institute ComScore found in a report in 2014 that,The average duration of online video (excluding online video advertisements) is about 4.4 minutes.

The Tow Center Digital Journalism Research Center of Columbia University also published a multimedia research report in 2014, compiling the challenges faced by newsrooms, such as how media organizations try to use video as a profitable editing tool.

Although many organizations have published research reports, there is no "absolute standard" for the duration of news videos. This is because, to a great extent, readers’ tastes and standards are constantly changing.Therefore, in the discussion about the length of moving vertical video, there have been various opinions.

However, the latest research from the University of Texas at Austin provides some new perspectives.

The research team published their research results in the professional journal News Research this year, focusing on the quality and length of news videos, trying to find out the characteristics of news videos that attract readers and estimate people’s viewing preferences.

Peter S. Chen, the first author from the University of Texas, published a paper with two co-authors from the University of Southern Mississippi. The core findings are as follows:

1. High-definition image quality and information determine the "first impression"

Although previous studies have proved that if video content can arouse the audience’s interest, they can also tolerate low-quality video images.

But,Readers won’t tolerate pictures that are not informative, poor in texture and have no sense of pleasure.I will not recommend this to others.

2. Don’t ask the source of the video, talk about the hero by length.

It is found that it is most appropriate to keep the video content of a short video at 2.08 minutes. A slightly shorter video is most suitable in 24 seconds.

3. When both image quality and duration are taken into account, image quality takes precedence.

When both quality and length are considered, compared with other videos,People will prefer long and high-definition videos or short and high-definition videos.

4. Quality is paramount, and video editing also needs professional training.

The quality of a news video can affect the audience’s cognition of news organizations, and the longer the video, the deeper the cognitive impression.

In recent years, many editors are required to be able to produce and edit news videos, but they have not received professional training.

"This enables employees who lack professional visual training to post videos online, especially those short videos."And such reckless practices will leave a "bad impression" on readers.

"Just like the paper media dealing with the content crisis, publishing news videos online can only solve the problem of how to attract audiences by overcoming quality problems."The researchers stressed that other components of video still need more research. For example, audio quality and its composition, which is also an important factor for the audience to decide to start or stop watching.

Related research:

In 2011, a paper in the journal News Research proposed that "the more relaxed the content, the more clicks it can get" by studying YouTube videos. Of course, this is not to deny that traditional news videos can’t gather popularity.

====================

This article is an exclusive editorial of All Media School.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out at the seminar on "Learning the spirit of the important speech of the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader and Meeting the 20th Party Congress" for leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels that in order to consolidate the long-term ruling position and always win the heartfelt support of the people, we must always be sober and firm in "catching the exam".

　　Looking back, in September, 2019, on the eve of celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, the General Secretary proposed to answer the questions of the new era with sobriety and firmness in "catching the exam" when inspecting the memorial site of Xiangshan Revolution in Beijing. In 2021, at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Party History Learning and Education Mobilization Conference, the General Secretary mentioned "keep ‘ Catch the exam ’ Sober. "

　　"The times are the writers, we are the respondents, and the people are the reviewers." The examination papers are always new, the true colors are still the same, and "catching the exam" is always on the road.

　　Catch the exam all the way: the Communist Party of China (CPC) has lived up to history and people’s choice.

　　A political party, from small to large, from weak to strong, is also simple at the beginning, and it will be great at the end.

　　In July 1921, the Communist Party of China (CPC) was born in Shanghai Shikumen and Nanhu Red Boat. From Jinggangshan to northern Shaanxi, from northern Shaanxi to Xibaipo, and then to Beijing, all the way to catch the exam, in exchange for "overwhelming and generous."

　　In March 1949, when the CPC Central Committee set off for Beijing from Xibaipo at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, Comrade Mao Zedong said: Today is the day to go to Beijing to catch the exam.

　　In July 2013, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Xibaipo, standing at the height of history and times, and profoundly pointed out that the "rushing for exams" faced by the party is far from over.

　　Taking the exam all the way is also exploring all the way. From a single spark to the potential to start a prairie fire, and then to the two answers of "cave question", the Communist Party of China (CPC) has developed into the largest Marxist ruling party in the world.

　　"In the past 100 years, our party has been committed to the happiness of the people of China, the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the progress of mankind, the harmony of the world, the public interest in the world, and the right path in the world. This is the greatest confidence of our party in its historical self-confidence. It is also the historical confidence of our party to unite and lead the people to move forward." At the end of 2021, the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee held a special democratic life meeting on the study and education of party history. The Supreme Leader General Secretary stressed, "Today, we can say that the Communist Party of China (CPC) has lived up to history and people’s choices."

　　In the past 100 years, the party has handed over an excellent answer to the people and history. Now, with the unity of the Party, the people of China have embarked on a new road to achieve the goal of the second century of struggle.

　　Pass the big exam: all our achievements have been made through the joint efforts of the party and the people.

　　The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation cannot be achieved easily by beating gongs and drums. Two angles provide us with an observation perspective.

　　Space: Looking at the domestic general trend, China’s development faces new strategic opportunities, new strategic tasks, new strategic stages, new strategic requirements and new strategic environment, and the risks and challenges to be dealt with, contradictions and problems to be solved are more complicated than before. Looking at the international trend, the great changes that the world has never seen in a century have accelerated its evolution, and the characteristics of changes in the world, times and history are more obvious.

　　Time: the five years since the 19 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China are extremely unusual and extraordinary; In the 10 years of the new era, the risk challenges we have encountered are high in wind and high in waves, sometimes even stormy waves, and various risk challenges come one after another, with unprecedented complexity and severity.

　　COVID-19 epidemic is not only a crisis, but also a big test. We adhered to the principle of putting people first and life first, and carried out people’s war, general war and blocking war against the epidemic, which protected people’s life safety and health to the utmost extent, and made overall plans for economic development and epidemic prevention and control and achieved the best results in the world.

　　Only a nation that can unite and struggle can have a future, and a political party that can unite and struggle can be invincible. The greatest happiness in the world is to strive for the happiness of the people. We strengthened our confidence, faced difficulties, fought one battle after another, and took one exam after another. All our achievements were made through the joint efforts of the Party and the people.

　　On January 30th this year, General Secretary’s speech at the 2022 Spring Festival group meeting was inspiring: "As long as more than 1.4 billion people in China always hold hands and look forward to the future together, as long as more than 95 million people in the Communist Party of China (CPC) always look forward to the future together with the people’s hearts, we will certainly be able to continue to create amazing miracles on the new road of catching the exam."

　　Facing the exam with confidence: The most fundamental thing is to do our own thing well.

　　"Being safe without forgetting danger, being alive without forgetting death, and governing without forgetting chaos", our party was born out of internal and external troubles, grew up in hardships and setbacks, and grew stronger in overcoming risk challenges. It has always had a strong sense of hardship and risk, and always prepared for the exam with a sober and firm attitude and a rainy eye.

　　"A hundred years of change, one thing comes out, one gray rhinoceros and one black swan." During the inspection tour in Hainan from April 10th to 13th this year, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader mentioned, "A revolutionary elder once said such a thing, ‘ Always uneasy ’ . I listened to it very resonantly. "

　　At the end of April, the General Secretary presided over the the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee meeting, which emphasized that leading cadres at all levels should have a sense of responsibility of "always worrying" in their work, take responsibility, be realistic and pragmatic, and prevent all kinds of "black swan" and "grey rhinoceros" incidents.

　　Not sleepy lies in early consideration, not poor lies in early preparation.

　　In January, 2019, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader analyzed the major risks in eight fields, such as politics, ideology, economy, economic and trade struggle with the United States, science and technology, society, foreign work and the Party itself, and put forward clear requirements at the opening ceremony of the special seminar for leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels.

　　At the end of last year, at the Central Economic Work Conference, the General Secretary said earnestly: "I often sound the alarm. I am ringing the alarm bell to make everyone alert and be prepared for danger in times of peace. "

　　See the micro-knowledge, prevent the micro-duration, understand the foresight of the "mast top", and show the foresight of governing the country.

　　At this seminar, the general secretary stressed that the whole party must enhance its sense of hardship, adhere to the bottom line thinking, strengthen its will to fight, enhance its fighting skills, adapt to the situation with correct strategic strategies, cultivate new opportunities and open up new opportunities, and rely on tenacious struggle to open up a new world of career development. The most fundamental thing is to do our own thing well.

　　Do your own thing well, go your own way, look forward to a new way to catch the exam, step on the rough road, fight hard and start again.

CCTV News:I didn’t lose my mobile phone or bank card, didn’t scan the QR code or click the SMS link, and when I woke up, the money in the bank card was gone. Some time ago, we reported the case of suspects using "sniffing" technology to steal bank cards from a distance. However, recently, Anhui police informed that several citizens in Chuzhou have encountered such a new type of online fraud.

In the early morning of July this year, Yang Xiao, a citizen of Chuzhou, Anhui Province, was awakened by the vibration of his mobile phone. In just a few minutes, he received more than a dozen SMS notifications of bank card consumption deduction. The content of the SMS showed that his bank card spent more than 50,000 yuan.

Victim Yang Xiao:The first one is 999 yuan, and then more than a dozen pens are brushed, all of which are 4999 yuan. The display time is from the early morning until after five o’clock in the morning.

At that time, Yang Xiao’s mobile phone was beside him and his bank card was not lost.

Victim Yang Xiao:The first reaction is that there is a virus in the link of the ordinary mobile phone. The mobile phone is placed next to it and the card is on the body. This kind of stolen brush has never been encountered.

After confirming that the money in the bank card was indeed brushed away, Yang Xiao rushed to the public security bureau to report the case. After reporting the case, he realized that there were already many victims like him, and the bank card was stolen late at night.

Yan Bo, Investigator of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Economic Development Branch of Chuzhou Public Security Bureau:Basically, it is from two or three o’clock at night to before six or seven o’clock in the morning. The victims are all asleep, and their mobile phones are silent and vibrating.

Chuzhou police immediately set up a task force. After several rounds of research, tracking the source of signals and the flow of funds, finally, the police locked the suspect Song, who had been transferred to Hefei, and arrested him in July. According to Song’s confession, the victim’s money was stolen by him and his associates using sniffing technology. On the day of the arrest, he was still using sniffing equipment and was ready to continue committing crimes.

Subsequently, according to Song’s confession, the police arrested all other suspects involved. At this point, a criminal gang that used "sniffing" technology to steal other people’s bank cards was uprooted.

According to the police, the most crucial link for criminal suspects to steal bank cards from a distance is that they can intercept other people’s mobile phone messages by using sniffing equipment. So how does this sniffing device work?

Suspect Song:This USB flash drive acts as a mobile interception system. Those mobile phone devices are eavesdropping devices. Because 2G is not encrypted, we are equal to being an eavesdropper. Because it is not encrypted, we can intercept it in the middle.

These seemingly crude devices in front of us are the sniffing devices used by suspects to intercept short messages from nearby residents. According to Song, as long as this device is started, the background can automatically scan the mobile phone numbers of residents within about one kilometer around. Once these mobile phone numbers are in the state of 2G network, the short messages received by residents’ mobile phones are likely to be displayed on the suspect’s computer simultaneously. Using sniffing equipment, they can intercept hundreds or even thousands of short messages a day. At the scene of the arrest, Song also gave a demonstration. About ten minutes after the sniffing device started, they received more than a dozen text messages on their computers, including mobile phone numbers, text messages and so on.

Suspect Song:Interception of mobile phone 2G SMS, or when mobile data is not turned on, has an 80% probability of interception.

Using "sniffing" equipment to intercept other people’s short messages is only the first step in committing a crime. In order to successfully steal a bank card, the suspect needs to obtain more personal information of the victim.

The reason why the suspects choose to commit crimes in the middle of the night is because most of the victims are already asleep at this time, and even if there is abnormal information on the mobile phone, it is difficult for them to find it in time. According to the police, because the suspects can intercept mobile phone messages, they use the mobile phone number+verification code to log in to some third-party software to find other personal information of the victims. However, some websites and apps still have certain technical loopholes. The suspect can easily obtain the victim’s name, ID number, bank card number, etc. by some simple hacking methods, and with the mobile phone verification code intercepted in real time, he can directly steal the money in the victim’s bank card.

It is by this means that Song and others have successfully committed more than 60 crimes in many provinces across the country in just a few months. At present, the suspect has been criminally detained by the police according to law, and the case is being further processed.

Protect personal information to prevent mobile phones from being sniffed

Using "sniffing" equipment to steal bank cards from a distance sounds terrible, but it doesn’t mean that criminals can do whatever they want. So how do we guard against it?

According to the police, in daily life, if you find that your mobile phone signal suddenly drops to 2G and you receive a short message verification code from an unknown source, it is probably scanned by criminals using sniffing equipment.

Yan Bo, Investigator of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Economic Development Branch of Chuzhou Public Security Bureau:We can temporarily turn off the mobile phone or turn on the flight mode so that our mobile phone can’t receive short messages for the time being, which makes it impossible for the sniffing device to intercept short messages in real time.

In addition, after intercepting the short message, the suspect also needs to obtain the personal information of the victim from the third-party software in order to steal the bank card. Therefore, everyone should protect their personal information, especially sensitive information such as ID number and bank card number, and don’t disclose it easily, leaving an opportunity for criminals.

This article comes from WeChat WeChat official account:　8-word intersection (id: crosseight), Author: Han Sai, original title: "Participate in the African version of" Win in China ",what did Ma Yun say? 》, the title map comes from: vision china

On November 16, 2019, local time, a TV studio in Accra, the capital of Ghana, an African country.

On the stage stood ten young people, men and women, black and white. Ten smiling and confident faces looked at the camera under the stage.

On the big screen behind them, a row of English is displayed:

Africa’s Business Heroes(African business hero)

Under the stage, four judges, three men and one woman, sat in danger.

Two Africans, respectively, are Zimbabwe’s telecom tycoon Straf Mahiywa.(Strive Masiyiwa)And Ibkun Awosika, a Nigerian female banker.(Ibukun Awosika).

Outstanding African entrepreneurs in these years.

The other two Asian faces are Cai Chongxin, executive vice chairman of Alibaba’s board of directors, and the one who just stepped down as chairman of Alibaba’s board of directors not long ago:

Ma yun

Ten young people are carefully selected from more than 10,000 entrepreneurs in more than 50 countries in Africa.

They need to tell their dreams in front of the camera, introduce their projects, and accept comments from four judges to compete for a total of $1 million in venture capital.

Ten years ago, a similar program in China was all the rage. It was called Win in China.

Ma Yun is also a judge.

01

The first one is a girl from Rwanda, Kevin Kejirimpudu.（Kevine Kagirimpundu）.

Her entrepreneurial project is to make a pair of shoes worn by Rwandans.

The reason that prompted her to start this career was that walking in the streets of Rwanda, she often saw various shoe repair shops, but a large number of people were barefoot.

The reason behind this is that Rwanda’s light industry is very backward, and its shoes and socks are basically imported. Local shoe repairers can only repair shoes, and no one can make shoes.

After a long time, many local people go barefoot all the year round.

Discovering this market, she decided to teach herself and do it herself.

The first step is to search in Google:

How to make a pair of shoes?

According to the steps provided on the internet, Kevin began to practice his hands by using the existing materials at hand-discarded tires that can be seen everywhere on the streets of Rwanda. How to cut the sole, how to polish the leather, how to stick, and how to sew. ……

After several months of trying and consulting the shoe repairer repeatedly, she finally made the first pair of shoes and founded her own footwear brand, employing 70% female employees.

The raw materials she uses basically come from waste tires. This is also a practice of environmental protection.

Are you wearing shoes made by yourself now? Judge Straff asked suddenly.

Kevin standing on the stage directly took off his shoes and sent them to him barefoot.

Sure! You see, there is my company’s LOGO…… in it … I’m so embarrassed!

The audience burst into laughter, and Ma Yun sitting next to him also laughed.

This is far from his first contact with Africa and the young people here.

Two years ago, in 2017, Ma Yun gave a speech to thousands of young people in the university auditorium in Nairobi, Kenya.

In particular, he highlighted his failure to take the college entrance examination three times when he was young, and his failure to apply for a job 30 times to encourage young people to stick to their dreams.

In the cheers of the young people in the audience, Ma Yun said on the spot:

From now on, I will come to Africa every year and visit three African countries. I hope I can visit all 54 African countries in the next 10 to 15 years.

02

Vaccine promotion, agricultural technology, palm oil … One contestant after another came on stage to tell their dreams.

Their dreams are often linked to the suffering of the African continent.

In 1994, the biggest news that shocked the world came from Africa.

This year, a humanitarian disaster broke out in Rwanda, which is destined to be written into human history.

A few years ago, a civil war broke out between Hutu and Tutsi, two major ethnic groups in China, which killed more than 1 million people in just three months and wiped out one seventh of the country’s total population. Many Chinese have seen the film Hotel Rwanda.

Rwandan girl Kristel Quezela（Christelle Kwizera）I was born in this year. Fortunately, her home was far from the front line of the conflict and was not affected.

But for Rwandans, the massacre is only part of the disaster. Even if you get away with it, you need to face many challenges and death traps in your life.

The biggest threat comes from the water that everyone can’t live without every day.

In sub-Saharan African countries, almost all of them face the problem of water shortage because of drought. In fact, except for a few areas, most countries have rivers flowing through them, and water shortage is not serious.

What is really lacking is a safe water source that can be used.

In Africa, many deadly diseases, cholera, dysentery, typhoid fever or polio viruses are hidden in surface water, and a large number of people get sick and die after drinking unclean surface water every year.

Many years after the massacre, people in Rwanda are still dying all the time-just because of water.

Quezela’s childhood was full of experiences of fetching water again and again.

As long as she can remember, she and her mother walked to a water point more than ten miles away every day, carrying nearly 20 kilograms, ranging from five or six hours to more than ten hours.

It can be said that most of the labor force in the whole family only do one thing when they are alive: fetch water.

In Rwanda, only a few big cities have a tap water network, which can provide safe groundwater. The annual use price is about 500 dollars, which is about a quarter of the income of an ordinary person.

During her college years, Quezela studied mechanical engineering. After graduation, she founded Rwanda Water Resources Company.

Since 2014, Rwanda Water Resources Company has drilled wells and installed pipelines in more than 90 residential areas all over the country, and built hundreds of tap water networks.

Their price is one-third to one-fifth of the government water supply network.

Ma Yun comments:

Your biggest competitor should be the Rwandan government, because they have been actively promoting water supply construction in recent years.

Only if you are faster than them, provide better services and make your competitors worry about you, can your company continue to survive and grow in the future.

In March this year, after visiting Africa, Ma Yun established the Ma Yun African Youth Entrepreneurship Fund with a total amount of 10 million US dollars.

This fund will spend 1 million yuan each year to support entrepreneurs in the next ten years.

The "African Business Heroes" to be broadcast on major TV stations is the first.

03

In 2009, Temi Jiwatobson, a Nigerian girl studying in the United States.（Temie Giwa-Tubosun）I signed up for an internship program and returned to Nigeria to participate in medical volunteer activities.

In her hometown, Tammy witnessed a scene that she will never forget in her life. A pregnant woman suffered from dystocia that lasted for three days.

Although the doctors and nurses tried their best to rescue them, they failed to recover them. The mother eventually bled heavily, resulting in the death of the baby.

To save the baby’s life, only an ordinary caesarean section is needed, or timely and sufficient blood supply is needed.

It looks like a common condition, but it is almost impossible in Nigeria.

Nigeria is the largest oil producer in Africa, selling oil to Britain, the United States, China and Japan. However, in the World Health Organization’s ranking of public health conditions, it ranks 187th in the world, ranking fourth from the bottom.

In Nigeria, local couples have an average of 5-8 children, with 814 deaths per 100,000 births. The main cause of death is postpartum hemorrhage.

Five years later, Tammy had her own family, was pregnant with a son, and also suffered from dystocia and bleeding during childbirth.

After a day’s struggle with fate, she has no strength, thinking about whether the fate of that pregnant woman will repeat itself on herself.

Fortunately, she has returned to America. The doctor gave her a blood transfusion easily and performed a caesarean section, saving the lives of mother and son.

After that, Temi, who returned to Nigeria, found:

This country is not short of blood, but information.

Because the information is not interoperable, some hospitals or blood stations store blood that has expired and thrown away, and some places have no blood available. The core issues are information and logistics.

In 2015, she founded a "life bank" based on this idea.（Lifebank）To build the largest virtual blood bank in Nigeria.

On the platform of Life Bank, the real-time reserve information of 60 large hospitals and blood banks in China is collected. Hospitals and patients can timely inquire about the nearest blood bank, the reserves of blood of different blood types and blood products, and make reservations at the first time.

Life bank, which provides information and blood distribution services, charges a service fee ranging from 10 to 50 dollars each time.

At first, motorcycles that can walk freely in the streets and lanes and speedboats that cross urban rivers were used to transport blood, and then drones were used.

Since its establishment four years ago, Life Bank has saved the lives of 5,300 Nigerians with its 7×24-hour service.

Temi said that her dream is not only the $20 million blood supply market in Africa, but also the $30 billion African medical market. In addition to transporting blood, Life Bank can also try to transport oxygen, medical equipment, vaccines and other medical supplies urgently needed in Africa.

Ibkun, a female banker familiar with Nigeria’s predicament, spoke highly of this project:

You can’t expand too fast. The market in Nigeria is huge, and your products are related to people’s lives. This sensitivity is bound to require you to be cautious in your business.

Ma spoke, serious, dry goods:

First, global vision, local success. Blood supply is enough, don’t think about anything else.

Second, it’s useless to take away ppt and show the future figures. It doesn’t matter how big the market is. Most entrepreneurs say how big the market is. The market has 10 thousand yuan, but you only earn five yuan. What’s the use?

I don’t like ppt. Your expected data in the future is very vague. Only the specific figures at present can reflect your achievements.

This is not the first time Ma Yun talked about blood in Africa.

He said something like this:

Africa needs hematopoiesis, not blood transfusion. Countries that give more money and children who give more money can’t make a difference.

What we have to do in the end is to support young people in Africa and make them change.

I hope that in the next 20 years, Africa will have at least 100 Alibaba and 1,000 Ma Yun.

During Ma Yun’s trip to Africa, an official of China’s local embassy also used a similar metaphor in his speech:

What about Africa? Ma Yun brought the answer.

One is environmental protection, and the other is the activities of Ma Yun Africa Venture Fund, which stimulates Africa’s endogenous motivation and cultivates local entrepreneurs.

Money can only be given for blood transfusion, and now it is for Africa to make its own blood.

04

Coming to this final, there are also African entrepreneurial projects created by copying the China model.

Walid Rahman, a young man from Cairo, Egypt, told a beautiful story. His project is to make an African version of Hungry.

According to him, in Egypt, more than 35% of the population and nearly 19 million Egyptians are obese. Among them, 3.6 million children are seriously overweight, but another 900,000 children suffer from anemia.

Therefore, his goal is to provide Egyptians with cheap and nutritious food and stay away from junk food.

In 2015, his online ordering platform "Mom" was launched in Cairo, employing all kinds of housewives and using the family kitchen to make food.

Users only need to pay a monthly membership fee of $9 to become members and enjoy free delivery service.

However, the reality is very skinny. In four years, Walid only attracted 7,000 users to register, and the number of orders per year was about 40,000.

Before the total population of 22.8 million in Cairo, this figure seemed to have little influence.

In contrast, China’s Hungry occupied Shanghai Jiaotong University with more than 20,000 people in the first year, and covered all of Shanghai in the second year, with more than 10,000 cooperative restaurants.

For this project that talks too much about ideas, judge Straff gave severe criticism:

I thought your scale was not good at first, but now I find there is something wrong with your figures.

When you introduce your project, you always emphasize nutrition, but it is often children who need to consider nutrition, and adults don’t have time to take care of so many nutrition problems.

You only cook so-called nutritious meals. How competitive can you be in front of Uber Eat (a takeaway service launched by Uber)?

For this project, Ma Yun pointed to the crux of the problem:

It is not a good idea to start a business, which is packaged with too many ideas and stories and lacks a business model.

Make the enterprise bigger first, and then talk about nutrition.

What an entrepreneur should do is to try to make things simple and not to put lipstick on monkeys.

The last project on stage has two CEOs. One speaks on the stage and the other sits under the stage.

Of the two people, one is good at operation and the other is good at financing strategy, so their work is generally mixed up, and whoever does it will do it. Their employees also report to both sides respectively.

A judge asked him why he didn’t come to the stage, and the CEO who came to the stage replied: His eloquence is not good, so I will speak out.

Ma Yun comments:

I had 18 founders and 20-30 businesses. It is impossible to have 20-30 CEOs. Why are there two CEOs? Four CTOs can do it, but two CEOs can’t.

A person has only one heart, so he can’t report his nose to his brain and his eyes to his heart.

Full house laughing and clapping.

After deliberation, four judges named the top three "African business heroes", and Temi, the founder of Life Bank, won the championship.

She will receive a prize of $250,000. Others share the remaining 750,000 in different amounts.

05

This time I went to Africa, Ma Yun was very busy.

In addition to participating in the "African Business Heroes", he also awarded prizes to the rangers who protected nature and animals, and visited many countries, running up to three times a day.

In every country, he was warmly received by the head of state of that country and was asked a question at the same time:

How can Africa learn from China better?

Ma Yun said to the young African people at the scene:

Seeing you is like seeing myself 20 years ago.

I tried to go to Silicon Valley for financing, and I hit a wall again and again. Because no one believes that the Internet in China will develop, and no one believes in China, because we have no credit cards and no logistics.

But because of this, there are opportunities for us entrepreneurs.

If China has everything, what else do we need?

In the past two months, Ma Yun has not been idle, even busier than before.

His schedule is full of public welfare, education, environmental protection, encouraging entrepreneurship and cultivating female leadership …

Africa is also a very important part of it.

He said:

People often ask me why China’s institutions want to protect African animals, and I want to say, why not China?

China and Africa, we live on the same earth, and we only have this earth. If the earth is sick, no one will be healthy.

Africa is a land of hope. Seeing African entrepreneurs, I feel like I saw myself 20 years ago.

　　CCTV News:May 20th is the full day of the 24 solar terms. At this time, the wheat is full of filling and enters the late stage of milk ripening, but it is not fully mature, just "small enough to be full", so it is called Xiaoman. From childhood to maturity, it is one of the busiest stages of farming in a year, and summer crops in various places begin to be harvested one after another.

　　The main producing areas welcome a bumper harvest, and Henan, the largest wheat province, has a bumper harvest in sight.

　　Summer grain is the mature grain in the first season of the year in China, and its output accounts for more than 20% of the annual grain, most of which is winter wheat. In 2024, the area of 11 major winter wheat producing provinces increased steadily, and the growth of wheat was generally better than normal, laying the foundation for a bumper harvest. At present, wheat has not been harvested in a large area in the Huang-Huai-Hai wheat area, where the output accounts for more than 80% of the country, but the processing market, agricultural machinery market and trading market have been busy. In Henan, due to the growth of food processing enterprises in 2024, the demand for high-quality wheat flour also showed an increasing trend.

　　Henan is located in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain, and its perennial wheat planting area is more than 85 million mu, ranking first in the country. In terms of geographical conditions, the topography of Henan province is high in the west and low in the east, and the area of plains and basins suitable for large-scale agricultural cultivation reaches 93,000 square kilometers, which provides a good prerequisite for large-scale cultivation of wheat.

　　From the climate point of view, Henan is located in the middle of China, and sufficient light and heat resources provide favorable conditions for wheat planting. At the same time, the Yellow River, Huaihe River, Haihe River and other water systems also provide a guarantee for agricultural irrigation, making Henan a well-deserved "hometown of wheat", accounting for about a quarter of the national wheat production.

　　Henan is not only a major province of wheat production, but also a major province of wheat processing, producing one third of instant noodles, one quarter of steamed bread, three fifths of glutinous rice balls and seven tenths of dumplings.

　　The number of food processing enterprises increases, and the demand for wheat flour increases.

　　Luohe is one of the important gathering places for wheat processing in Henan. In 2024, there were 237 food industrial enterprises above designated size, 40 more than in 2023. In addition, these enterprises introduced new products every year, so the demand for high-quality wheat flour as the main raw material showed an increasing trend.

　　Unified seed supply and unified management to ensure that the quality of stored wheat reaches the standard

　　In order to ensure that the quality and yield of high-quality wheat can reach the standard stably, the consortium introduced social service organizations for unified seed supply and management.

　　Perception of "Three Summers" Change from Processing Market

　　At present, Henan wheat field is in the calm before large-scale harvest, but around the listing of new grain, farmers, cooperatives and processing enterprises have long been active. What are the new changes in 2024?

　　As the wheat harvest approaches, this flour processing enterprise in Wuyang County, Luohe City has been busy.

　　Yang Shuai, head of the enterprise, said that the biggest change in 2024 is that the planned harvest of high-quality wheat is much more, which was 18,000 tons in previous years and may exceed 40,000 tons in 2024. Because a single variety of high-quality wheat needs special collection and storage, he has to vacate more independent warehouses and special vehicles to keep the wheat from being mixed and ensure the purity.

　　Luohe is one of the important gathering places for wheat processing in Henan. Take the flour mill where Yang Shuai is located as an example, they meet the individual flour order demand of 28 food production enterprises, and according to these demands, they are transformed into seven specific high-quality wheat varieties, and then 53 cooperatives cooperating with the flour mill are guided to order planting by appropriately raising the purchase price. In this way, the demand for new products such as moon cakes, shrimp slices, Shaqima and spicy strips in the downstream of the industrial chain has been transformed into seven wheat varieties in the upstream of the industrial chain.

　　In Luohe, there are already seven such wheat industrial chain complexes. In order to ensure that the quality and yield of high-quality wheat can reach the standard stably, the consortium introduced social service organizations for unified seed supply and management.

　　Different from the plots under unified management, because of extensive management and mixed planting of different varieties, the wheat is uneven in height and the quality can not meet the processing requirements of special flour.

　　In recent years, driven by the whole industrial chain, Luohe has continuously guided large grain growers to increase production and income through standardized planting of high-quality varieties.

　　It is understood that in 2024, the area of high-quality special wheat in Luohe City reached 1,268,900 mu, accounting for 53.3% of the local wheat area, ranking first in Henan Province.

　　Do a good job in cross-regional operation support and disaster prevention and reduction

　　These days, wheat in Henan has entered the late filling stage, and it is expected that a large area will be harvested around May 25th, and the wheat harvest will last until June 15th. In just about 20 days, how to ensure that more than 85 million mu of harvest is available and the particles are returned to the warehouse?

　　2024 is the first year of China’s wheat yield increase action. Henan province focuses on increasing wheat yield per unit area, and promotes the integration of fertile fields, improved varieties, good methods, good opportunities and good systems. At the same time, in the high-standard farmland built-up area, we will focus on building 7 million mu of high-yield demonstration areas for wheat, integrate and promote high-yield technologies, and build a good harvest foundation.

　　During the "Three Summers" period, Henan plans to invest more than 4 million sets of agricultural machinery, including 200,000 sets of combine harvesters and 30,000 sets of crawler harvesters.

　　In view of individual lodging plots caused by recent extreme weather, Henan has formulated remedial measures as soon as possible, sent technicians to the front line for guidance, and sprayed potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution to promote wheat filling and minimize losses caused by disasters.

　　At the same time, in order to prevent the impact of extreme weather during harvest, Henan also supports various business entities to speed up the construction of grain drying facilities. At present, 580 drying facilities have been built, with an additional daily drying capacity of 37,000 tons.

　　"Three Summers" Science Popularization: Colorful Wheat with High Value and Connotation

　　When it comes to wheat, most people may think of yellow, but there is actually more than one color of wheat. Follow the doctor of agriculture to meet the colorful wheat with high value and connotation.

　　Xu Hao, a doctoral student in crop science at the Agricultural College of Henan Agricultural University, said that colored wheat is similar to ordinary wheat in appearance, but its grain color is not Huang Chengcheng in the traditional sense, but red and green. This is not late-maturing wheat, it has entered the filling stage and will be harvested in more than 20 days.

　　These are new varieties of colored wheat which are suitable for large-scale planting through a series of breeding methods such as physical mutagenesis, chemical mutagenesis and distant hybridization. Because they are rich in anthocyanins, they will show different colors on the seed coat.

　　Why study colored wheat? We are not interested in its showy appearance, but it is rich in protein, amino acids, trace elements and minerals, which are higher than ordinary wheat, and it has the potential to make people eat delicious and healthy!

　　These noodles and cereals made from it still look like traditional food, but they already have the function of health food. It is no exaggeration to say that they have high value and connotation!

　　Recently, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader attended the forum on cultural inheritance and development and delivered an important speech, stressing the need to adhere to integrity and innovation, to maintain the integrity and spirit of integrity and innovation, to continue the historical context and write contemporary Chinese chapters. China’s excellent traditional culture is the spiritual wealth that shines forever on China’s land. It has both the spiritual code of "where we came from" and the spiritual signpost of "where we are going". We should strengthen our cultural self-confidence, take on the mission and work hard in innovation, and continue to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new historical starting point.

　　Defending is the foundation. Chinese excellent traditional culture is the spiritual lifeline of the Chinese nation and an important source of cultivating socialist core values. From the political ambition of "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later" to the patriotic feeling of "striving for the country’s life and death, why not avoid it because of misfortune and happiness", from the lofty righteousness of "wealth can’t be lewd, poverty can’t be moved, and power can’t be bent" to the sacrifice of life for righteousness of "who has never died since ancient times, keeping a fresh heart to shine on history", China’s excellent traditional culture has always inspired Chinese sons and daughters. The tree height thousands of feet has roots, and the water flow Wan Li is active. In today’s situation of profound economic and social development and changes, and diverse values, we should strengthen our historical consciousness, strengthen our cultural self-confidence, learn from classics and traditions, consciously use Bacon, an excellent Chinese traditional culture, to cast souls, enlighten our minds and moisten our hearts, and unite the spiritual strength of all people who work hard and move forward with one heart and one mind.

　　Innovation is the key. The value of culture lies not only in adhering to traditional excellent culture, but also in spreading with the times. Whether it is the popularity of variety shows such as China in Classics and National Treasures or the popularity of adapted dance programs such as Dancing for the Millennium and Only Green, it is the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture, which makes the excellent traditional culture rooted in history shine new light in the new era. Today, facing the new situation at home and abroad, the new situation in the ideological field and the new trend of information technology development, it is more necessary than ever to innovate to inherit and carry forward the excellent Chinese traditional culture. We should rely on the power of the Internet and use market-oriented means to develop more carriers and scenes to spread excellent traditional culture, so that it can enter modern life and blend into the homes of ordinary people, and constantly create new glory of Chinese culture from "broken circle" to "out of circle" and from "alive" to "on fire".

　　Only by adhering to integrity can innovation have a clear position and direction; Only by constantly innovating and being upright can we get the source of vitality and the foundation of power. One of the important reasons why the Chinese nation has stood firm and courageously advanced in the torrent of history is that generations of Chinese sons and daughters have cultivated and developed a unique and profound Chinese culture in the process of integrity and innovation, which has provided a strong spiritual support for the Chinese nation to overcome difficulties and live endlessly. The wisdom and essence of Chinese excellent traditional culture have permeated all aspects of governing the country, from "people first, life first" to "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets". Facing the future, we should organically combine upholding and developing Marxism with carrying forward China’s excellent traditional culture, unswervingly follow the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and constantly push the cause of the Party and the country to a new level.

　　Cultural prosperity leads to national prosperity, while strong culture leads to strong nation. Firmly holding the "root" and "soul" of Chinese excellent traditional culture, always rooting in the fertile soil of Chinese culture and constantly absorbing the nourishment of innovative practice, we will surely gather the majestic cultural forces and strive to write a new chapter in building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.
