Chongqing’s automobile industry has changed from "quantitative change" to "qualitative change"

On December 26th, the flagship SUV AITO, a panoramic wisdom cooperation between Cyrus and Huawei, was officially released. This car is not only the epitome of the most advanced technology and the latest manufacturing technology in the automobile industry, but also enhances the perception of the "Made in Chongqing" car.

A few days ago, the National Bureau of Statistics also released the latest data. From January to November this year, Chongqing’s automobile production reached 2,074,200, up 10% year-on-year, ranking second in the country.

Over the past decade or so, the ranking of Chongqing’s automobile production in the country has fluctuated. Now Chongqing ranks among the top in the country again. The industry is more concerned about the specific path to promote the development of local industries. After all, it is difficult to sustain the current automobile industry structure through the "impulse" of low-end products.

Chongqing’s auto industry has performed brilliantly this year. Is there really a "new power" blessing behind it? From the emergence of AITO M9 and the performance of major auto companies in Chongqing this year, we can see that Chongqing’s auto industry is changing from "quantitative change" to "qualitative change".

The price of high-end cars rushed to five or six hundred thousand yuan.

Since the second half of this year, the AITO series products jointly designed by Cyrus Auto and Huawei have continued to sell well. In November, the sales volume of Sailisi new energy vehicles reached 23,834, up 104.39% year-on-year; Among them, the sales volume of Sailis brand was 20,318 vehicles, up by 145.92% year-on-year, both hitting new highs.

Changan Automobile is still strong. In November, the sales volume of its own brand new energy vehicles exceeded 50,000, a year-on-year increase of 52.73%.

The reporter learned from the Municipal Economic and Information Committee that the output of new energy vehicles in Chongqing in November increased by more than 100% year-on-year, which also far exceeded the year-on-year growth rate of total local automobile production in the same period.

The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Economic and Information Committee said that since 2023, the contribution rate of new energy vehicles in Chongqing to the growth of the city’s automobile industry has reached 85%.

"Behind the recent bright performance of Chongqing Automobile, it is obviously driven by high-end models, especially high-end intelligent networked new energy vehicles." A related person from Chongqing Automobile Business Association said that a large number of "Made in Chongqing" vehicles with high value and high product strength have emerged in this year, with intensity and frequency exceeding any previous period.

The reporter combed the "Made in Chongqing" new energy hot-selling models launched this year, and found that most of them are mid-to-high-end vehicles, such as the dark blue S7 model of Changan, whose price is between 150,000 and 220,000 yuan, while the price of Aouita 11 HarmonyOS Edition and Aouita 12 is between 300,000 and 400,000 yuan. The price of Sailis AITO’s M5 Smart Driving Edition and AITO’s new M7 covers 250,000 to 400,000 yuan. AITO asked M9 to push the price above 500,000 to 600,000 yuan.

The new path makes "Made in Chongqing" cars sought after.

In the eyes of the industry, the above changes in Chongqing’s automobile industry follow a profound value logic.

On December 16th, in the special activity of Chongqing International Talent Exchange Conference, Li Keqiang, an academician of China Academy of Engineering and chief scientist of Chongqing Western Science City Intelligent Networked Automobile Innovation Center, pointed out that the automobile industry will usher in the 4.0 era, and the new generation of automobiles will reflect the characteristics of low-carbon energy, electrification of power, intelligent body and networking of transportation networks, and the original automobile development mode, production mode and ecology will change.

Dong Yang, vice chairman of China Electric Vehicle committee of 100, believes that people’s "quality view" of automobiles has changed, from focusing on quality to focusing on experience. "In the past, when a new car was released and 20 new technologies were listed, it was amazing that users could use one or two items. Each car also brought a thick manual, and no one read it. This is no good. Car companies must directly face users, find out what needs users have, and let users make full use of new technologies. "

"First, we must’ change’ and strive to develop new technologies in the direction of intelligent networking and new energy; The second is to be’ close’, close to the needs of users, shorten the distance with users and reduce communication costs. " The relevant person in charge of Changan Automobile said.

A closer look at the many products newly launched by Chongqing car companies such as Chang ‘an and Sailis this year shows that they all follow the above ideas.

Taking the M9 as an example, by adopting the innovative owl-enhanced steering technology, the turning radius of a 5.2-meter-long "big guy" is smaller than that of a medium-sized car. In addition, the model also has 2.6 million pixels of fine lighting with dual lights. When the high beam illuminates the opposite vehicle, it will automatically leave a dark area, which will not affect the opposite vehicle, but also keep the high beam.

Qu Yunchao, a market observer, believes that some of the above technologies and functions have solved the pain points of users, while others have opened up interesting or comfortable new experiences for users. Since the beginning of this year, the popularity of "Made in Chongqing" cars has proved the success of this path.

It takes "one step at a time" to become a world-class company.

In the new year, how can Chongqing’s automobile industry anchor new development coordinates? "The global automobile industry pattern is undergoing subversive changes." Zhu Huarong, Chairman of Changan Automobile, said that from Europe, America, Japan, Germany and South Korea, where China was divided into six parts, to China, where the brand occupies half of the country today, the advantages of China brand in modeling, new energy and intelligence lead the world, and its scale advantage is further highlighted, and its competitive advantage in changing lanes is even more obvious.

But it also brings a series of new problems-

For example, the future development of China’s automobile industry will no longer be promoted by learning from the outside world. Another example is that the boundary of the division of labor between the whole vehicle and parts is reconstructed, and the battery of new energy vehicles is rapidly transformed from shortage to overcapacity.

To solve these problems well, we can move towards the first-class in the world, and the road is only "one step at a time". Zhu Huarong believes that it is necessary to take five steps to meet the challenges in the critical period of track switching in the industry by accelerating the layout of products and production capacity, strengthening the layout of brand building, strengthening the layout of marketing services, accelerating the improvement of market layout and strengthening the layout of organizational talents.

Zhang Xinghai, the chairman (founder) of Sailis Automobile, said that the local area is currently in the best opportunity to develop new energy intelligent networked vehicles. A strong supply chain can support a strong vehicle enterprise, and the industry should further expand open cooperation and let professionals do professional things to create high-quality products that meet the needs of users.

Relevant persons of the Municipal Economic and Information Committee said that Chongqing will strive to basically form a new ecology of intelligent networked new energy automobile industry by 2025, and build a world-class intelligent networked new energy automobile industry cluster by 2030, with the industrial scale reaching the world-class level.

To this end, Chongqing will continue to expand its industrial scale, accelerate the completion and commissioning of new projects, put new products on the market, and develop new brands, and strive to build a trillion-level intelligent networked new energy automobile industrial cluster; Adhere to the whole zero coordination, implement major projects to attract investment, cultivate and upgrade key enterprises, transform and upgrade traditional enterprises, and promote intelligent networked new energy vehicles to supplement the chain and strengthen the chain extension; Strengthen the integrated layout of charging, storage and parking, vehicle and Lu Yun infrastructure, promote the integration of energy network, transportation network and information network, and strive to form a moderately advanced, rational, intelligent and efficient charging and replacing service system; Accelerate the network transformation of existing roads and create the most distinctive and rich vehicle-road collaborative experience scene in China.

The first "Made in Chongqing" panoramic wisdom flagship SUV

AITO asks M9 to go public.

(Reporter Bai Lin) On December 26th, at the press conference of the asking world M9 and Huawei’s whole winter scene, the first "Made in Chongqing" panoramic wisdom flagship SUV AITO asking world M9 was officially launched, and four models were launched with two power versions, namely extended range and pure electric, with the price of 469,800-569,800 yuan.

AITO Jiejie M9 was jointly launched by Chongqing car companies Cyrus and Huawei, and adopted a brand-new family design "Kunpeng Wings Spreading". The new car applied a number of cutting-edge innovative technologies, such as "Super Xuanwu Body", which was the world’s largest one-piece die-casting, and the lightweight coefficient was significantly higher than that of the same class. The 12 parts of the whole car also adopted 2000 MPa nuclear submarine-class hot car steel.

Huawei Turing Intelligent Chassis, equipped with AITO Wenjie M9, comes standard with intelligent closed air spring and CDC variable damping shock absorber, supports 5-speed body height adjustment, and also has a full-scene smart road preview system with adaptive active suspension, which can smoothly cope with different road conditions.

In terms of power, AITO’s M9 extended range version is equipped with a drive system consisting of a 1.5T engine and front and rear motors, with an acceleration of 4.9 seconds at zero and 4.3 seconds at zero for the pure electric version. The fuel consumption of the extended range version is as low as 6.9 liters per 100 kilometers, the comprehensive battery life is as high as 1402 kilometers, and the pure battery life is as high as 275 kilometers. The pure electric version is equipped with Huawei’s "Whale" 800-volt high-voltage battery platform, which can achieve a battery life of 150 kilometers in 5 minutes and an overall battery life of 630 kilometers.

In terms of automatic driving, M9 adopts Huawei ADS2.0 advanced intelligent driving, equipped with industry-leading 192-line laser radar, and cooperates with high-definition camera and millimeter-wave radar to support intelligent driving of national highways, urban expressways and urban areas.

AITO M9 is expected to be delivered in batches on February 26th next year. The relevant person in charge of Cyrus said that the company has built a world-leading super smart factory in Chongqing, with intelligent manufacturing equipment that integrates advanced technologies such as AR vision and big data. The key processes are 100% automated, and a new car can be rolled off the assembly line every 30 seconds, with the highest production efficiency in the world.

Appreciate the rotor charm Mazda rotor classic model real shot

    Thank you for waiting! Taking advantage of this Tokyo Auto Show, Aika Automobile visited the Fufang factory and the Meini test site in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan at the invitation of Mazda. Mazda RX-VISION gained a lot of popularity in Tokyo Auto Show, but its Skyactive-R has never been unveiled. However, this mystery has further increased our enthusiasm for rotary engines. After all, in addition to the rare Mazda RX-8 in China, there are only "parallel imports" RX-7 that are scattered in the south, and their appearance rate on the streets of Beijing is not even as high as that of a group of Italian supercars.

Mazda (Import) 2016 RX-VISION

    During this visit, we not only saw many models of rotary engines, but even had the privilege of driving them personally and experienced the unique charm of rotary engines. After the baptism of time, do these rotary engine models still have charm? In this article, we will take the lead in showing their posture in a static way.

    Le Mans — — Mazda 787B

    Speaking of the strongest rotary engine model, the first car presented in the minds of many fans must be the RX-7(FD). Indeed, as a civil rotary engine, FD is worthy of the word "strongest", but if we only consider the field of civil vehicles and ignore the performance of the stadium, it is obviously impossible to say all the charm of rotary engines. When it comes to the most legendary Mazda rotor model on the field, I believe you have already heard the story of Mazda 787 family in Le Mans.

Mazda (Import) 2016 RX-VISION

    In fact, as early as 1983, Mazda had begun to participate in the newly established Le Mans Group C Junior race with the prototype racing car code 717C (Group C Junior, with a minimum vehicle weight of 700 kg, a maximum fuel tank capacity of 55 liters, and the specified replenishment times within 25 times). Mazda, who first entered Le Mans, showed strong strength. With more and more racing experience, Mazda also launched a series of prototype cars of Le Mans, such as 727C, 737C, 757 and 767/B, but missed the title of Le Mans several times.

Mazda (Import) 2016 RX-VISION

    Until June 23, 1991, the champion of C2 group in Le Mans 24 Hours was taken away by a Japanese racing car for the first time, and this racing car was officially the 787B model of Mazda 787 family. It not only became the first Japanese racing car to win the championship in Le Mans, but also the only one that used rotor engines.

Mazda (Import) 2016 RX-VISION

    Its code name is R26B four-rotor engine, which is based on the 13J-MM model of 767. Structurally, two twin-rotor engines are connected in series, and each rotor is attached with three spark plugs. The displacement of a single rotor is 654ml, and the total displacement is 2616ml, which can output the maximum power of 700ps at 9000rpm (it is said that the maximum power of this model can reach 800ps at 10000rpm, but considering that the engine needs to run under continuous high working conditions for 24 hours in the competition, a conservative setting of 700ps/9000rpm is adopted).

    In this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, a total of 44 world-class cars competed in the same race. Facing the harsh competition environment, only 12 cars finally finished the race. The three racing cars of Mazda Team are all among the top ten (ranked first, sixth and eighth respectively) under the siege of European powers (Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Jaguar and other established manufacturers), and the No.55 racing car painted with orange and green is the champion of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in one fell swoop.

Mazda (Import) 2016 RX-VISION

    However, with the arrival of the 1992 season, the FIA cancelled the C2 group of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and Mazda’s rotor legend in Le Mans became a swan song with the end of the 1991 season.

    It’s a little pity that the 787B No.55 car that won the Le Mans Endurance Championship was not the one that appeared in this visit, but the JSPC-style 787B No.3 car in 1991. Speaking of the naming of the 787 car series, there is also an interesting story. As the successor of the 767B car series, Nigel Stroud, the designer of 787, intended to use 777 as the code name of the new car, but because the pronunciation of "777" in Japanese is very awkward (in Japanese, 7 is pronounced as "ななな" when used as a quantifier, and its pronunciation is similar to "NaNa", so 777 will be pronounced as "nana". Therefore, the number will be postponed to 787.

The design of skylight also increases the subjective space feeling of front and rear passengers. Among the models of the same price and class, the trunk volume of BMW 7 Series ranks 23rd. The storage space in the car is quite satisfactory and basically sufficient. The interior space of the luggage compartment is relatively regular, with very good longitudinal depth and high expansibility, and the space performance is generally ideal.

The BMW 7 Series modified 740Li exclusive M sports suit uses a 3.0 engine with a maximum horsepower of 381 and a peak torque of 520, matching the automatic manual transmission (AT) gearbox.

18 years after Pink Girl was broadcast, has the domestic drama urban women changed?

  Beijing, March 14 (Reporter Yuan Xiuyue) As a hot topic in the film and television circle in recent years, the female theme has produced many explosive dramas. But there is one that is always the "Bai Yueguang" in the hearts of domestic drama audiences. That’s Pink Girl, which is adapted from Zhu Deyong’s comic book Bitter Girl.

  It makes four girls, heartthrob, man-woman, marriage fanatic and Ha Mei, become many people’s first cognition of urban women.

  Recently, The Ideal Life of Love, adapted from Bitter Girl, was broadcast. Over the past 20 years, what changes have taken place in the image of astringent girls?

  Cover of Bitter Girl

  "In modern cities, love always belongs to yesterday and marriage always belongs to tomorrow."

  The Bitter Girl was first published in 1992, and Zhu Deyong mentioned his creative motivation in the preface. He noticed that the single ethnic group in society is expanding rapidly and has developed a unique set of ideas and lifestyles, which made him have the idea of creating cartoons.

  In Bitter Girl, he divides single women into four extreme types: one wants love instead of marriage, the other wants to work without love, the other wants to marry all men, and the other can’t figure out anything. The four types correspond to heartthrob, workaholic, marriage fanatic and naive girl respectively.

  Zhu Deyong adopts the form of four-grid cartoons, and narrates around the personal characteristics of four single lady, focusing on the dialogue between them, with no storyline. Because of the author’s careful observation of society and unique and spicy brushwork, Bitter Girl also has a cold and humorous irony effect.

  For example:

  Workaholic: Women don’t need to get married to prove that they are wanted.

  Workaholic: Similarly, a woman who doesn’t get married doesn’t prove that she is unwanted.

  Marriage maniac: Wow, amazing, what a new woman.

  Workaholic: Alas, women can only prove whether they are new women by getting married or not.

  Four single lady live in an apartment, which is very fashionable today, so why are they called "astringent girls"?

  The astringency here is "raw astringency". Zhu Deyong explained: "They have a unique personality on the outside, or they are often labeled as typed by others, but at heart they are a group of people who are not so sure about themselves; Whether they break through the shackles or live by tradition, they don’t really know what they want. Their breath, mixed in this prosperous era, has a particularly raw flavor. "

  There are personal choices behind this, and more is the change of the times. In 2003, "single woman economy" was still a new word, and the first generation of urban women were facing unprecedented changes. In the past, women mostly lived according to the traditional trajectory, and revolved around their families all their lives, without real self. In modern society, whether it is career or marriage, they have more choices in life, but they also have more confusion.

  To sum up, their ideas have changed, but the reality has not changed. In Zhu Deyong’s words: "Today’s women, under the requirements of society, still have to be as soft as silk, but they have to be as hard as king kong."

  Under the humorous shell of Bitter Girl, it is full of such helplessness and contradiction.

  Become a heartthrob or a man woman?

  By the TV series Pink Girl in 2003, the four single lady’s personalities were even fuller, and their friendship of helping each other became an important part of the TV series.

  In cartoons, heartthrobs are keen to be mistresses of different men and know how to play with them in the palm of their hands with their own appearance advantages. In the fast-food love game in modern society, she comes and goes freely, which is admired by many people. Her sober attitude towards love and marriage also resonates with many modern women.

  In the TV series, heartthrob is more flesh and blood outside the label. Her father is a university professor, and her family wants her to have a stable job and marriage. But she likes to experience life and doesn’t accept the same life, so she went to Shanghai from her hometown to work hard. The heartthrob sees love and marriage thoroughly, and it is not gifted, but is summed up from experience after experience.

  Workaholics in comics are only interested in making money, and occasionally fall in love with their partners as employees. In the play, the man and woman work hard because she wants to build a primary school for her hometown.

  In contrast, the marriage fanatics and naive girls in comics are not very popular. The marriage fanatic’s attitude towards marriage scared many people, but in the TV series, she became the protagonist. Although her appearance is ordinary, she is kind and persistent. Her persona is more like Cinderella, and finally the screenwriter gave her a prince charming, which brought her together with Wang Hao.

  Naive sister is not much different. Ha Mei in the play likes to follow the trend and is enthusiastic, but she is always in a daze.

  Four single lady look at the world around them with women’s eyes, showing the unique lifestyle of urban women. However, they also have stereotypes about women from outside, such as being obsessed with work, being in love unintentionally is a man woman, being enchanting in appearance is a fox, and the value of women is reflected in whether men like them or not.

  Some people think that Pink Lady is new in appearance, but they are still a generation of old women in internal ideas.

  This is related to the degree of social development, and also related to the way TV plays are created. The cartoonist’s perspective is an observer outside the bureau, and making a TV series requires a dominant value. The TV series pursues a warm and touching style, so it loses the humorous and spicy effect of the original. Finally, the sharp point of view is also buried in the happy family story.

  Break the stereotype of single women

  From the industrious and gentle Liu Huifang in Desire, to the heroine in Hua Qiangu in Empresses in the Palace, and then to the urban women with different backgrounds in Nothing But Thirty in Ode to Joy. In recent years, the female images in domestic dramas have undergone weak and obvious changes — — From attachment to family to the pursuit of self-independence.

  Nowadays, the most popular heroine is neither a hard-working and selfless traditional woman, nor a fool saved by the hero, as can be seen from Su Mingyu in Everything is Fine and Wang Manni in Nothing But Thirty. They are all capable, strong and independent.

  In The Ideal Life of Love, the four heroines are also different from those in comics. The biggest change is the desalination of labels and the disappearance of stereotypes. The heartthrob is no longer a charming big wave and a proud figure, the workaholic is no longer a man-woman, and the marriage madman has no two buckteeth. Only the naive girl is still catching up with the trend, and now it is two yuan.

  A heartthrob doesn’t attract men by appearance, but by changing boyfriends, it’s more about pleasing yourself. Workaholics don’t just make money, but seek self-worth at work. Marriage fanatics are not unable to get married, but want to live a standard life because they have lived a good life since childhood. Naive sister has a shallow experience, but she insists on her hobbies.

  In the play, female roles are not saved by men, and even male roles are weak. Four people are either rich second generation or strong women, and there is almost no material pressure. As for whether they are married or single, they also have clear personal positions. To some extent, this drama does provide an ideal life for contemporary urban women.

  However, this is also its weakness. The people in the play are glamorous, just like living in a model room. Without the complicated background of reality, women’s pain and choices are also indifferent. If "Pink Girl" is less sharp, then this drama has created a crystal ball. Although it looks beautiful, it is only a fairy tale after all.

  Some netizens believe that astringent girls are an attitude that is out of date at any time. In fact, whether it is comics or TV series, they are the epitome of women in different times. Today, there are also new heartthrobs, marriage maniacs, workaholics and naive girls. Perhaps, every woman is a combination of these four people. The connotation of astringent girl is changing, and the only constant is the still confused heart and the growing pace.

2.4% off the transfer of the trademark, etc! What is Huawei playing in the next game?

  Zhang Xingwang CSI Taurus 

  On the evening of July 3rd, Celeste issued a supplementary announcement on the purchase of assets, saying that Celeste Automobile, a holding subsidiary, plans to acquire the assets of Huawei’s Jiejie trademark and other targets for 2.5 billion yuan. After evaluation, the market value of the underlying assets is 10.233 billion yuan. In other words, in terms of valuation, it is equivalent to Huawei selling the underlying assets such as the border trademark to Cyrus at a discount of about 2.4%. 

  Analysts believe that Wen Jie is a brand supported by Huawei, and this brand transfer shows Huawei’s sincerity. Huawei has repeatedly publicly stated that it will not build cars and sell a series of trademarks, which is Huawei’s strategic business policy, that is, to be a supplier of incremental parts for automobiles. At the same time, Huawei set up a company this year, focusing on the intelligent driving system and incremental parts business of intelligent networked vehicles. Recently, Huawei transferred trademarks such as Wen Jie, Xiang Jie and Zhi Jie to Zhixuan car partners in order to dispel the concerns of car partners about Huawei’s possible car construction.  

  Definitely don’t build a car  

  Wenjie is an automobile brand launched by Huawei and Celes by adopting the smart car selection model. This model is a cooperative model in which Huawei deeply participates in the definition, design, research and development, sales and other links. The two sides launched the M5 in December 2021 and the M7 in July 2022, but the sales were tepid. Until September 2023, after the launch of the new M7, the sales were strong, which made Huawei’s smart car selection model "out of the circle". Since then, the smart car selection mode has been upgraded to HarmonyOS Zhixing. 

  In the first half of this year, HarmonyOS Zhixing delivered a total of 194,207 vehicles, ranking first in China’s new power brand sales. From the perspective of the industry, in June 2024, the sales volume of the industry exceeded 42,000. The new M7 delivered 18,493 vehicles in June, and the cumulative sales in the first half of the year exceeded 110,000 vehicles, ranking first in China’s new power model and second in luxury model. The sales volume of M9 reached a new high. In June, it delivered 17,241 vehicles, with a total of over 100,000 vehicles, ranking first in domestic sales of vehicles with a price of over 500,000 yuan. 

  Then, why does Huawei sell related trademarks at the high-light moment of the brand? Pan Helin, a member of the Committee of Experts on Information and Communication Economy of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, told the reporter of china securities journal CSI Taurus that Huawei’s goal is very clear, and it has repeatedly stressed that it is to practice this strategic management policy by not making cars and selling trademarks. In the automotive field in the future, Huawei will focus on intelligent solutions. 

  On March 31, 2023, Xu Zhijun, the rotating chairman of Huawei, made it clear: "Huawei didn’t build a car, nor did it have any brand of car." 

  Pan Helin believes that Huawei’s transfer of the brand is to prevent the car dealers and Huawei brands from being fully bound. Analysts said, "The brand influence of Wenjie series is more than 2.5 billion yuan. This brand transfer shows Huawei’s sincerity." 

  On the evening of July 3, Cyrus announced that the market value of the underlying assets such as the border trademark was 10.233 billion yuan after evaluation.  

  Clarify the boundary of smart car selection  

  Huawei established BU, a smart car solution, in May 2019. Huawei’s 2023 annual report shows that the company has unswervingly and continuously increased its R&D investment. Since the establishment of BU, a smart car solution, the accumulated R&D investment has exceeded 30 billion yuan. 

  It is understood that Huawei cooperates with car companies in three modes: parts supply mode, solution mode and intelligent car selection. Among them, the car companies that cooperate with the intelligent car selection model are Cyrus, Chery, BAIC and JAC. This is the most in-depth mode of cooperation with Huawei among the three modes. 

  Because Sailis is the first partner of the smart car selection model, and the series launched by both parties are selling well, Sailis has received high attention. On June 18th, the market value of Cyrus soared to 151.5 billion yuan, exceeding the ideal, ranking first in the market value of domestic new force car companies. 

  Will Huawei’s cooperation with Cyrus be affected after it sells trademarks such as Wen Jie? On the evening of July 2, Huawei responded to the reporter’s statement that after Huawei transferred a series of trademarks such as Wen Jie to Celeste, it would continue to support Celeste to build and sell Wen Jie. Huawei has always insisted on not building cars, but using the leading intelligent networked car technology to continue to help car companies build and sell good cars. 

  According to the reporter’s understanding, the current cooperation mode between Huawei and Cyrus is not affected, and the two sides also signed the Agreement on Further Deepening Joint Business Cooperation. 

  In fact, Huawei not only transferred a series of trademarks such as Wenjie, but before that, Huawei also transferred trademarks such as Xiangjie and Zhijie to relevant smart car selection partners. 

  In May 2024, Tianyancha showed that Huawei transferred its registered trademark of "Enjoy the World" to Beijing New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. The trademark was applied by Huawei in May 2023 and registered in November. At the beginning of June, 2024, Tianyancha showed that Huawei transferred two registered "Zhijie" trademarks of transportation tools to Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. 

  An auto industry veteran told reporters that the smart car selection model is deeply bound to Huawei, and Huawei leads the sales. Consumers buy brand cars such as Wenjie, Zhijie or the upcoming enjoyment world, mainly because consumers recognize Huawei brands and technologies. 

  Pan Helin believes that since Huawei is a supplier, it can’t favor one over the other. Its transfer of series trademarks and equal treatment of smart car partners are conducive to determining Huawei’s role as a supplier of automotive incremental parts. 

  Some analysts said that after the trademark transfer, the boundary of Huawei’s HarmonyOS Zhixing/Zhixuan model became clearer, and Huawei further indicated that it would not build cars, but use its own advantages to help car companies build and sell good cars. Huawei’s cooperation with other smart partners will not be affected.  

  Create an electric intelligent open platform  

  In November 2023, Huawei and Changan Automobile signed the Memorandum of Investment Cooperation. According to the memorandum, Huawei intends to integrate the core technologies and resources of smart car solutions business into the new company, and Changan Automobile and related parties will be interested in investing in the company. At that time, a person familiar with the matter told reporters that Huawei hoped to build an electric intelligent open platform with the participation of the automobile industry. 

  Huawei hopes that more auto industry partners will invest in this new company. In November 2023, Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei and chairman of BU, a smart car solution, publicly stated that Huawei had sent an invitation to invest in a new company to its smart car model partners and hoped that FAW would join. 

  In January this year, Shenzhen Yinwang Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. was established, which is wholly owned by Huawei and is a new company established by Huawei Car BU. 

  On July 4, the reporter learned that in order to further deepen the all-round cooperation with Huawei, Sailis is actively planning to participate in strategic investment and cooperation. 

  When Huawei signed a memorandum with Changan Automobile, Yu Chengdong said, "We always think that China needs to build an electric intelligent open platform with the participation of the automobile industry, an open platform with a’ locomotive’. We deepen cooperation with Changan, and at the same time, we will work together with more strategic partner car companies to continuously explore new models of openness and win-win, and jointly seize the opportunity of electrification and intelligent transformation of the automobile industry.

How about Lycra lens [detailed introduction]

  Lycra Germany is the oldest camera manufacturer in the world. In the development process of more than a century, the camera products produced by Lycra Company have been wildly sought after by the industry. Lycra’s camera products are also known as the aristocrats in the camera industry. At the same time, Lycra’s lenses have been widely praised by the world. Then Xiaobian will introduce Lycra lenses to you!

  Specific shooting effect

  First of all, let’s take a look at the shooting effect of the lens. Because the aperture of the Lycra lens is particularly excellent, the lens will provide us with a very fast exposure speed when shooting with the camera, even in dim light. Therefore, when shooting distant street scenes at dusk, we can also minimize the vibration of the machine, so it is especially suitable for shooting some people. Then let’s take a look at the workmanship of the lens. The lens of the lens is made of two glasses with high refractive index, which can further improve the light entrance rate of the camera.

  Lens lens

  Lycra has been engaged in optical production for hundreds of years, so it has incomparable advantages in lens manufacturing. Objects photographed with Lycra lens, whether it is day or night, whether it is a distant view or a close view, set a new optical standard. The object shot by Lycra lens gives people a particularly strong visual impact, although it is under the maximum aperture, and all the details and colors of his images are very clear. The other two lenses of Lycra use local astigmatism optical lenses, which can effectively improve the sharpness and resolution of photos, and at the same time take some portrait photography or report photography, which can make the photos reach the most perfect level. When we shoot macro with Lycra lens, its imaging quality is almost the same as the original.

  Focusing structure

  The focusing structure of Lycra lens is also excellent. From the recent focusing to infinity, the length of the lens will not change, which is a great advantage for the lens. It can effectively ensure the balance effect of the whole camera, thus making our photography more relaxed. Moreover, the Leica lens is also very small and exquisite, weighing only 520 grams. Compared with the products of the same grade, the products are lighter, so we usually feel that the camera is lighter when shooting. All the images taken by Leica lens have a very broad tone level and clear detail resolution.

  The above is the introduction of some relevance of Lycra lens compiled by Xiaobian. In today’s camera industry, traditional European brands have been on the verge of bankruptcy, but Leica, as an old European camera manufacturer, stands out in the dark, which has to be attributed to the excellent quality that Leica has always adhered to.
