What human resources strategy did Xiaomi and Lei Jun choose?

Today, we talk about returning to the spotlight of millet. Behind good business performance, it must be the support of organizational ability; and the improvement of organizational ability is not a one-size-fits-all formula, it should be based on a firm human resources strategy choice.

Xiaomi and Lei Jun, in the human resources strategy, what did they do right?

01 Rebs returns with honor

On August 10, 2021, on the occasion of Xiaomi’s eleventh anniversary, Lei Jun released a speech entitled "My Dream, My Choice", sharing the hardships and ups of his entrepreneurial reliance in three hours, and also announced several impressive achievements.

First, Xiaomi made the Fortune Global 500 list for the third time a few days ago, ranking 338 in the world, an improvement of 84 places, which is the scale of "revenue" growth.

Second, according to the IDC report of the international research company, in the second quarter of 2021, Xiaomi’s mobile phone sales surpassed Apple and became the second largest in the world for the first time, with a global market share of 16.9%, which is the scale of "shipment" growth (sales increased by 86.6% year-on-year).

Third, after experiencing the dilemma of "talking big but listing broke", Xiaomi bought back a large number of shares at 3.60 billion Hong Kong dollars, with an average price of 9.35 Hong Kong dollars, and on January 4, 2021, the closing price has reached 34 Hong Kong dollars. Lei Jun’s "bragging cattle" at the beginning was finally realized, allowing IPO investors to double their profits. This is an increase in "market value" caliber.

02 human resources strategy selection

Lei Jun has a wealth of entrepreneurial experience, but he is not necessarily the best in terms of organizational maturity. Objectively speaking, Lei Jun should be a "market-oriented" or "product-oriented" entrepreneur. His many bold ideas, such as super flattening and no KPIs, have actually proved to be detours.

However, Lei Jun is also an extremely clear entrepreneur in organizational management. He threw out his own set of angular talent concepts, and in practice, he broke the old and established the new, while sticking to the end, which finally formed Xiaomi’s unique human resource strategy. This fully proves that entrepreneurs do not need 18 martial arts, it is enough to be the same; entrepreneurs’ clear choice in human resource strategy is better than "water".

The so-called human resource strategy is the strategic choice of the enterprise to improve the core staff efficiency (the most critical "narrow-caliber staff efficiency" of the enterprise) and promote the operation. Specifically, it includes how to build the "core talent warehouse", what kind of "North Star Metric" to promote, and a series of choices for matching human resource tools.

In my opinion, there are two main categories of human resource strategies:

The first type is the incentive human resource strategy. It focuses on improving the human resource capitalization rate (CRH) of the core talent warehouse. To put it bluntly, it is how to bind talents to the company. Either it attracts mature talents with equity payment leverage and preliminarily binds them, representing Internet companies such as Tencent and Ali; or after he enters the company, he sets up a team for it, allocates resources, sinks power, and then uses the incentive means of project and investment betting to firmly bind it to the project, representing the pioneers in traditional enterprises such as Haier, Vanke, and Country Garden.

The second type is the empower human resource strategy. It focuses on enhancing the talent density (DT) of the core talent warehouse. To put it bluntly, it is how to empower talents to grow. Resource empower mainly refers to promoting the connection of resources; the essence of methodology empower is talent training. If you don’t spend a lot of money on recruiting talents or release big incentives, enterprises must have enough confidence: first, their own resources are good, which can help ordinary talents succeed; second, their own methodology is good, which can make ordinary talents grow rapidly. In this regard, Haidilao, Zhonghai Real Estate and other enterprises are typical representatives.

Although Lei Jun may not have the above dichotomy of human resource strategy in his philosophy, he clearly chose the incentive human resource strategy. Lei Jun believes – "the most important thing is the team, followed by the product, only with a good team can we make a good product". He even believes that "to find the best people, a good engineer is not the top 10, but the top 100". It is very clear that this kind of core talent warehouse that supports Xiaomi’s rapid growth cannot come from internal cultivation, but must come from external excavation!

Because of this, in the first six months of the business, Lei Jun spent 80% of his time looking for people. In order to find a good hardware engineer, Lei Jun made more than 90 consecutive calls. To convince this person to join Xiaomi, several partners took turns communicating with him for a full 12 hours. This spirit has moved many excellent talents, and Xiaomi has been able to form a strong talent team at the beginning of the business, so that people with entrepreneurial spirit, the best people in professional fields, those with super learning ability and those who dare to challenge themselves have become the "base color" of the enterprise.

At this stage, Xiaomi’s team was shining brightly: Lin Bin was the former vice president of Google China Engineering Research Institute and had rich experience in software development. Zhou Guangping was a top talent in the field of mobile phone hardware, and Liu De was a top expert in the field of process design.

03 Equity Incentive Template for High Growth Enterprises

The ability to bring together so many outstanding talents is also due to Xiaomi’s incentive-based human resources strategy. This strategy advocates the use of equity incentive tools to bind the fate of core talents to the company in the first time. In this way, this group of most important people regard the achievement of Xiaomi as a common cause, and let them truly become the company’s "human capital".

In addition to allocating a certain amount of equity to the co-founders, Lei Jun has customized a "cash + equity" compensation model for other core employees. The pay mix when core employees join Xiaomi can be selected from the following plans:

Cash wages in normal market conditions.

2/3 of the salary in cash + a portion of the stock.

1/3 cash salary + more stock.

In fact, due to the optimism about Xiaomi’s development prospects, most core employees will choose the latter two compensation models. Xiaomi has introduced many top talents through equity incentives; on the other hand, it has also relieved the pressure on the capital flow of startups to a certain extent.

There are three types of equity incentive shares granted by Xiaomi to employees: one is share options (options); the other is restricted share awards (restricted shares); and the third is restricted share units (RSUs). According to its "Prospectus", as of March 31, 2018, the total number of class B shares involved in the share options and restricted share units that have been granted but not exercised is about 2.513 billion shares, accounting for 11% of the total share capital before listing. Xiaomi has a total of 14,513 full-time employees worldwide, and more than 5,500 (excluding executives) employees have received shares in Xiaomi, with a shareholding ratio of 38%. According to the market value of Xiaomi at the time of listing of 54.30 billion US dollars, the per capita shareholding value of employees is at least one million US dollars, which basically realizes financial freedom.

According to the content of Xiaomi’s public equity incentive plan, its equity incentive is very "affectionate and righteous" (as shown in the table):

Wide coverage: At the time of listing, more than one-third of employees owned shares in the company.

Incentive intensity is high: Take share options as an example, the call-over price is set at $0.03, which is almost equivalent to giving away for free;

Call-over conditions are loose: call-over does not set performance appraisal conditions and is only unlocked according to service period conditions.

These "affectionate and righteous" incentives fully demonstrate the sincerity of the company, and the employees also give back to the company with the same enthusiasm for work. There is a saying in the internal documentary of Xiaomi’s 8 years of entrepreneurship: Xiaomi employees "will have a fire in their hearts". It is because of this fire that Xiaomi staff worked 6 × 12 hours and persisted for nearly 7 years. At one point, they did not even require clock in and did not set KPIs (subsequent Xiaomi picked up the KPI assessment again, which was also considered by the outside world as a misunderstanding in management. But this kind of seemingly out-of-place management method can also be interpreted as Lei Jun’s confidence in Xiaomi’s motivational human resources strategy)…

On September 4, 2020, Xiaomi Group announced the latest Equity Incentive Plan on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange: a total of 218 million share options were granted to those who contributed to the group to subscribe for shares, and the share option holders could call-over at a price of HK $24.50 per share. The equity valid period is up to ten years. At the same time, former ZTE vice president, mobile phone business leader Zeng Xuezhong, former Lenovo vice president, mobile phone business leader Chang Cheng and other good players have also joined Xiaomi one after another.

Obviously, millet will motivate the human resources strategy to the end.

04 is written at the end

The human resource strategy of a large number of Chinese companies is the most taboo "caught in the middle", behind which is the boss’s "unclear". They are not determined to invest in the cost of introducing talents and carefully carve the incentive mechanism; nor are they determined to sort out resources, accumulate knowledge, and patiently polish the empowerment mechanism. In fact, there is a high possibility of a "mismatch" between talent and human resource strategy: mature talents cannot be patiently empowered by the enterprise, and potential talents are also difficult to have the courage to share with the enterprise before the resources and capabilities are lacking. Therefore, such enterprises are shallow in both aspects and full of loopholes.

Strictly speaking, the boss and HR are both responsible for thinking and following.

Meizu is deep in the storm of store closures and layoffs: multiple personnel adjustments in the short term

  Meizu said there were indeed layoffs, which belonged to the "last elimination"; experts said that Meizu did not find suitable space in the high-end market

  In the spring of 2018, the domestic mobile phone industry was really lively, with representative companies such as Xiaomi and Huawei chasing after each other to compete for the market. However, a once-brilliant mobile phone manufacturer has fallen out of people’s sight – Meizu. At its most glorious time, Meizu could be called the most cost-effective "machine emperor" in China, but now Meizu is not what it used to be, and the problem it needs to consider is likely to be how to "change and survive".

  Recently, there is news that Meizu will usher in a round of layoffs, and the number of layoffs will exceed 1,000. On March 30, Meizu said that layoffs do exist, but they belong to the "last elimination" mechanism, and the news of layoffs of 1,000 people is seriously inconsistent with the facts. Not only that, at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, the market reported the closure of Meizu stores.

  Some industry insiders said that layoffs and store closures are just the beginning for Meizu, which is "left behind" in the competition of mobile phone manufacturers. In today’s increasingly oligopolistic market, Meizu is running out of time.

  Three consecutive years of layoffs, several personnel adjustments in a short period of time

  In fact, this is Meizu’s third consecutive year of layoffs. In early 2016, after Meizu founder, chairperson and CEO Huang Zhang put forward the goal of "stabilizing growth, generating profits, and advancing to the IPO", Meizu launched the annual elimination plan, and the scale of layoffs increased from the original 5% to 10%. In early 2017, Meizu also reported layoffs. It was reported that the layoff rate reached 25%, involving thousands of people, but Meizu responded that it was still around 10%.

  In addition to layoffs, Meizu has also made several structural and personnel adjustments in the short term. Following the independent split of Meizu, Meizu, and Flyme in June 2017, Meizu released a notice on the adjustment of the company’s central-level organizational structure and personnel appointments at the end of last year. A new overseas business unit was established to be responsible for the overseas business of the company’s products. Guo Wanxi was appointed vice president of Meizu’s business unit and also served as president of the overseas business unit. He was responsible for the related business and team management of the overseas business unit and reported to Chairperson and CEO Huang Zhang. According to reports, the overseas business unit was originally subordinate to Meizu’s business unit, and its independence largely indicates Meizu’s determination to fight overseas.

  The domestic mobile phone market has been divided up by several major manufacturers, and it is no longer news that domestic mobile phones are going overseas to seek new growth opportunities. Third-party research firm Kantar
According to a report released by Worldpanel, as of the end of October last year, Huawei, Xiaomi, Apple, Vivo and OPPO, the top five mobile phone manufacturers in China, accounted for 91% of the total market share. Last year, this figure was still 79%. In other words, the advantage of the above five mobile phone manufacturers over ZTE, Meizu and other companies has been further expanded in the past year.

  It is understood that Meizu sold 2 million mobile phones in the overseas market in 2016, and performed well in South East Asia and Eastern Europe. It hopes to further develop in the Western European market. IDC data shows that Chinese mobile phone manufacturers have a share of more than 50% in the Indian smartphone market.

  Meizu released the Indian version of the MX5 mobile phone in 2015, but it has not made much progress since then. In addition, the overseas business of Xiaomi, Huawei, OPPO, vivo and other successful mobile phone brands in China is also advancing steadily. After Meizu goes overseas, it still has to compete head-to-head with these old competitors.

  Meizu set up the accessories division at the end of last year, responsible for the company’s accessories product research and development, marketing activities and sales. Industry insiders believe that Meizu’s move is also to seek more profit margins.

  Market research firm CCS
Insight mentioned in a report that as the profits of the mobile phone business gradually decrease, at least three of the top ten mobile phone manufacturers will have higher profits in the accessories business than in the mobile phone business, and the main manufacturers will focus on the development of branded accessories and connected device products like Xiaomi, which can bring higher profits.

  The store was closed, and the clerk complained that the product was not selling well.

  Meizu’s offline channels have encountered some trouble. Earlier this year, it was reported that Meizu’s previous 2,500 or so stores had closed more than 500.

  Regarding rumors of store closures, Meizu told the Beijing News: "There are not as many as 500 store closures. There are store closures and openings every day. Agents in each region only know the local situation. They don’t know the specific situation in other regions. They can’t determine the current situation of the entire Meizu based on the words of one company."

  A Beijing News reporter recently visited some Meizu stores in Beijing. A Meizu staff member who has been engaged in sales in Beijing for two years told the reporter that she did hear that some stores were closed, but the reason was that some employees’ residences changed, resulting in a shortage of manpower, which has little to do with business. But at the same time, she also complained that "compared with the previous two years, mobile phones are not easy to sell now." She believes that this is mainly affected by the overall weakness of offline stores.

  When the reporter visited Meizu stores located in Wudaokou and Qinghe earlier this year, he saw that the stores were all located on the side of the entrance and exit of the supermarket, and the flow of people in front of the door was not small, but no one entered the store within 20 minutes of the reporter’s observation.

  Meizu said that store closures and openings are optimization actions carried out through the performance and standards of specialty stores, closing stores that do not meet the requirements, and re-locating to open new stores. This optimization is relatively intensive during this time. "Last year, Meizu only had one PRO.
"7 flagship products, and Meizu’s dream machine will only appear this year. At this stage, it is Meizu’s intermission time. During this time, Meizu will adjust its state and situation to better prepare for the second half, which is this year’s product."

  "The market competition has become more intense, and Meizu’s hardware and advertising marketing have not kept up," an internal Meizu employee told reporters. Since 2015, Meizu has dominated sales with high cost performance, design and system experience. "At that time, Meizu’s cost performance has the momentum to catch up with Xiaomi." But more and more brands are deploying cost-effective smartphones. By 2016, Meizu’s cost-effective advantage is no longer obvious. "Sales can be maintained solely by the system and word of mouth."

  Meizu, which values offline channels and user word-of-mouth, is never stingy with the commission of sales personnel. A Meizu mobile phone salesperson told reporters, "Take the flagship as an example, Xiaomi sells a unit for ten yuan, and Meizu can raise 100 yuan." This is also the reason why he chose to sell Meizu mobile phones two years ago. But now, he is not satisfied with the income. "The year before, Double Eleven took more than 10,000 yuan, and last year it was only 6,000 or 7,000 yuan."

  In 2017, the word-of-mouth that Meizu relies on for survival was in crisis, and public opinion such as "delayed full-screen", "insufficient innovation", and "configuration can’t keep up" made it difficult for Meizu’s sales to break through. The above-mentioned employee said, "Although the hardware and marketing are temporarily lagging behind, Meizu’s advantages are still many, and there may be breakthroughs in 2018."

  Expert: Meizu misses the extended product line window

  For the mobile phone industry, 2017 was a watershed year. According to IDC data, the Chinese smartphone market contracted for the first time in nearly a decade in 2017, contracting by 4.9% year-on-year. Affected by the Chinese market, the global smartphone market shipments also decreased by 0.1% year-on-year.

  "With the overall market shrinking and industry competition intensifying, Meizu has clearly lost its footing," said Fu Liang, a telecom analyst. Meizu once had a loyal customer base that could support Meizu’s high price points, but as competitors have launched competitive products, Meizu’s products have become less attractive to users.

  Full screen is undoubtedly the keyword of the mobile phone industry last year, especially iPhone
After the release of X, domestic mobile phone manufacturers came together to release full-screen products, and Gionee released 8 full-screen products in one go. In this full-screen mobile phone battle, Meizu was slow to enter the market and became one of the few manufacturers that did not release full-screen mobile phones in time.

  The Pro 7 released by Meizu in July last year obviously failed to carry the banner of the flagship machine. Pro positioned for high-end machines
7 was priced at 2,880 yuan when it was released, and by mid-November the price had been reduced by more than 300 yuan. It was jokingly called the "diving king" of smartphones last year by netizens. The reporter saw on Taobao that some stores sold Pro.
7 contract machines, the minimum price is 1250 yuan.

  Meizu Pro
7 The biggest attraction is the large and small dual-screen design, which adds a small screen on the back. When users take selfies with dual cameras on the back, they can see themselves from the small screen. When the user flips the phone, the screen will light up, and the date, time, weather and other content can be displayed on it.

  The differentiated users of the Pro 7 do not seem to buy it. Sun Yanbiao of First Mobile World told reporters, "Meizu is one of the top ten mainstream brands in China, but it does not have a flagship product, Pro
The 7 can’t carry its banner. Everyone doesn’t feel much about the dual screen, and there is no trend. Everyone is unwilling to pay, and the Pro 7 is in stock. "

  Sun Yanbiao pointed out that one of the key reasons for Meizu’s previous offline strength is the diversion of online to offline. When placing an order online, if the user cannot grab the order, the user’s order may be directed to the offline store near the place of residence. "Meizu’s offline channels have been going up since last year. Last year, it was obvious that the situation was not as good as last year. The lack of flagship phones, brand differentiation, and changes in senior management led to today’s situation."

  At a time when domestic manufacturers are launching higher-priced products, Meilan cannot find a suitable market space, and high-end products face weaker user stickiness, Fu Liang pointed out. "Meizu should focus its energy and resources now to find a breakthrough point," Fu Liang said, Meizu has missed the time window to extend the entire product line.

Hu Ge: Wong Kar-wai hopes I can find Li Xiaoyao’s feeling in "Flowers"

The TV drama "Flowers" directed by Wong Kar-wai and starring Hu Ge is being broadcast on Jiangsu Satellite TV and other platforms. Hu Ge plays the male lead A Bao in the drama. Recently, Hu Ge said in an interview with the media that he has been exposed to the works of Wang Kar-wei since middle school, and never thought that he would have the opportunity to meet him, let alone appear in his works. "This time filming’Flowers’ is like a dream."

Hu Ge said that filming "Flowers" this time was like a dream.

In 2017, I contacted Wong Kar-wai and imagined one person playing the triangle

In 2017, Hu Ge met Wang Jiawei for the first time. Recalling the scene at that time, Hu Ge said that he received a phone call saying that the director Wang Jiawei wanted to meet him. "When I arrived at the appointed place, I saw Director Wang wearing the trademark sunglasses. To be honest, I was very nervous at the time because I liked watching Director Wang’s works since middle school, and he was my idol."

That day, Wang Jiawei and Hu Ge talked a lot, talking about their views on the novel "Flowers" and Hu Ge’s own growth experience. "Director Wang first considered letting me play A Bao, and then at one point, he wanted me to play the triangle and play Hu Sheng, Xiao Mao and A Bao at the same time. Because someone saw my play" A Dream "and felt that they saw many faces of me on the stage, Director Wang thought of this plan."

The idea of one person playing the triangle was just a "flash in the pan". In the end, Wong Kar-wai cut down the complexity and only chose Ah Bao as the core character. In order to play this role well, Hu Ge and the entire crew made full preparations. "Before we officially entered the group, we had a three-year preparation period. Under the leadership of Director Wang, we collected a lot of information about that era, and invited stock experts, ‘old mages’ from foreign trade companies, etc., as’mental responsibility ‘, to guide the crew at any time. Before the start of the game, the actors also entered the scene in advance and immersed themselves in the atmosphere of the 1990s."

The actors are fully immersed in the atmosphere of the 1990s.

The atmosphere of the times created by Wang Jiawei also evoked Hu Ge’s childhood memories. For example, the 1:1 reconstruction of the Yellow River Road in the play made Hu Ge quite emotional: "Although I didn’t eat on the Yellow River Road, I passed through the Yellow River Road on the way. The Yellow River Road in my impression is just like what is presented in the play.

Working with Wong Kar Wai is like falling in love, always providing emotional value

This is Hu Ge’s first collaboration with Wang Jiawei. To Hu Ge, this collaboration is more like a relationship. "At the beginning, I will be very nervous and nervous, and I will always be between confidence and lack of confidence. Gradually, I will find that as long as he is around, you will be very at ease, much like in love."

"Flowers" was filmed for three years, and the long cycle also affected the mood of the actors, while Wong Kar-wai provided stable emotional comfort. "After filming, everyone was on the verge of collapse, and there was a lot of pressure in all aspects. But looking at Director Wang, who was energetic and meticulous, watching him go back to meetings and write scripts after filming every day, all the tiredness was suddenly eliminated, and I felt that I could do it again."

In the play, Bao and Reiko (played by Ma Yili), Miss Wang (played by Tang Yan), and Li Li (played by Xin Zhilei) all have a lot of rivalry. In Hu Ge’s opinion, Reiko and Bao are the relationship between Sun Wukong and Pigsy. "Bao is Pigsy, Reiko is Sun Wukong, always in front of Pigsy to cut through thorns and let Pigsy sit back and enjoy."

In Hu Ge’s opinion, Reiko and Bao are the relationship between Sun Wukong and Pigsy.

Bao (left) and Miss Wang (right).

Miss Wang and Bao are the relationship between the second hand and the minute hand: "Do you think the second hand and the minute hand meet every 60 seconds? Wrong. It’s 61 seconds. Because when the second hand turns around, the minute hand has already run forward. But in fact it’s not 61 seconds, it’s a little more than 61 seconds, because when the second hand goes another second, the minute hand moves forward a little bit. So this intersection between the two of them is always a little farther than everyone thinks."

Hu Ge believes that Bao and Li Li are like the sky and the sea, mirroring each other.

As for Bao and Li Li, Hu Ge believes that they are like the sky and the sea, mirrored by each other and full of mystery. "The sky and the sea are far away, but when you watch the sunrise and sunset, you find that the two are connected, like a distant."

"Flowers" is a interpretation of the story of the fathers, and I have been interested in it since I was a child

For Hu Ge, "Flowering Flowers" is a search for the memory of my parents, and it is also a supplement to the imagination of the past years. "" Flowering Flowers "tells the story of my parents’ generation. I have been interested in my parents’ upbringing since I was a child, but every time I try to understand them, I always feel that there are some things they don’t want to say or even remember. So when I saw" Flowering Flowers ", I was immediately attracted, and I felt that I knew the past of my parents in another way."

"Flowers" for Hu Ge is a pursuit of the memory of his parents.

"Flowers" tells the story of the 1990s, when Hu Ge was in elementary school. "It’s very limited to see the changing times from a child’s perspective. But I later recalled that adults at that time were very busy. Like my dad, he was also doing business with a group of friends and trying to change his life through his own efforts, and he had very little time at home. Sometimes I would hear my parents talking about someone who got rich overnight. As the narrator in our show said, some people got rich overnight, and some people got zero in half a day."

Hu Ge played the lead character Li Xiaoyao in the TV series "Legend of Immortals and Swords".

Wang Jiawei once mentioned Hu Ge, and when he played Bao, he had the feeling of Li Xiaoyao: "I believe that in that era, there were many young people like Bao, who wanted to seize the opportunity in the tide of the times and change their destiny and life through their own efforts. But after experiencing ups and downs, they will find that the most important thing is love and righteousness."

Delivery riders deliver food for you and me. Where do they eat?

  At 10:00 on October 14, takeaway riders near the Beijing World Trade Center were having breakfast. Photo by our reporter Wang Yu

  In recent years, with the booming development of the platform economy, more and more workers have tried to make a living on the platform. The number of new employment forms such as delivery riders, couriers, and online ride-hailing drivers has increased significantly. They provide great convenience for people’s lives and work, allowing you and I to enjoy many services at your fingertips and without leaving home.

  While these new job forms of workers are busy running around in big cities, we can’t help but wonder, how are they doing when they have left their hometowns? Deliver food for us, where do they eat? Help us deliver things to our homes, where is their home? What if the new job form workers work hard in the city, get sick and injured?

  Recently, reporters from the "Workers’ Daily" visited several new employment workers in Beijing, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan, Changsha, Zhengzhou and other places to explore how they eat, live and seek medical treatment. From today onwards, this edition will launch a series of reports on the "Survival Records of New Employment Workers", so stay tuned. Looking forward to their hard work in the city, they can be treated gently.

  Receiving orders, picking up meals, and delivering meals, takeaway riders are a profession that deals with "meals". Every time a meal is served, they shuttle through the streets and alleys, rush between buildings, and race against time to deliver steaming meals to people.

  However, where do they eat? Workers’ Daily reporters visited the lives of takeaway riders in Beijing, Shenzhen, Chengdu and other places, and experienced the ups and downs of the delivery road…

  Beijing Rider:

  Cheap restaurants are hard to find, so you can eat on the side of the road when you wait for an order.

  At 10 o’clock on September 24, it was rainy and rainy in Beijing. On the street next to the North Third Ring Road Global Trade Center, Han Leqiang finished his breakfast delivery. He parked his electric car on the side of the road and prepared to eat breakfast. While the rain was getting smaller, he quickly took out a cup of soy milk and drank it with his head up. The hot steam made his glasses fog up. Because he was in a hurry, his raincoat was also splashed with soy milk. He didn’t care too much, and took out two biscuits to satisfy his hunger while drinking.

  This breakfast cost 9.5 yuan.

  "Beijing is too big, cheap restaurants are hard to find, and it’s far from places to take orders and deliver food. I often pass by and buy some random packaging and wait for one-sided food on the side of the road." Han Leqiang has been a rider for six years. Recently, due to the drop in unit prices, he started taking orders for breakfast. While talking to reporters, new orders arrived, and he stuffed most of the biscuits into his mouth and sped away.

  At 13:30, Meng Jun, who was running with Han Leqiang in the Hepingli area, was about to finish work and eat when he suddenly received a call from a customer: The noodles delivered were only soup, not noodles. He immediately contacted the merchant and sent another one. At 14:30, the delivery order was short, and he had time to think about his lunch. At a chain fast food restaurant, he ordered a sauerkraut fish. The rider’s discount price was 11.5 yuan, and the rice could be renewed.

  The reporter visited Beijing and found that because of "no time, I am afraid of delaying orders", many takeaway riders do not have time to eat breakfast. As for lunch and dinner, even if they eat, they can only eat at different peaks. At the dining location, riders have no fixed place to eat, except for merchants with discounted packages and low-priced small shops, many of them eat takeaway on the roadside.

  Takeaway riders in charge of popular business districts feel this deeply. In order to take more orders, some riders are even staring at their mobile phones while eating. "Sometimes I just buy something and eat it directly on the lunch box." Pang Qinglong, the rider in charge of the Financial Street area, although he has been a rider for less than a year, has entered the top of the list of riders’ running orders several times. In August, he delivered a total of 2,585 orders, ranking third in his area.

  At 20:45, after the evening rush, Pang Qinglong came downstairs to a shopping mall in Xidan. "It’s expensive around here, and this mall is relatively affordable." He took off his helmet and ordered a beef noodle, a rare moment of relaxation in the day. It had been nearly 12 hours since his last meal, which was breakfast. The reporter saw that it was past the peak ordering period, and many riders came and went here.

  Shenzhen Rider:

  Wait for orders at any time, eat, and dare not run far

  At 13:30 on September 24, next to an office building in Longgang District, Shenzhen, white-collar workers rushed back to the office after lunch. Delivery rider Chen Zuo received an order and sent it from Minzhi Street, Longhua District to Bantian Street, Longgang District, 4 kilometers, the whole journey took half an hour. In a hurry, after finally delivering the order within the specified time, Chen Zuo was already hungry and settled for lunch at a roadside fast food restaurant.

  "I start delivering food at 7 every day and carry it until 13:30 for lunch." That day, Chen Zuo ordered two meat and two vegetables, 13 yuan, and rice at will. He sat down with a plate, and before he could take off his helmet, he took a sip of soup and devoured it. The reason for choosing fast food, Chen Zuo said, is that it is affordable on the one hand, and fast food on the other.

  Chen Zuo has been delivering food in Longhua District for three years, delivering nearly 40 orders a day. "Sometimes before 12 o’clock, I’m so hungry that I say hello to the stationmaster and quickly find a fast food restaurant to eat." Chen Zuo said that in this case, you need to eat quickly, and you don’t dare to delay for too long. As soon as you have an order, you have to leave quickly.

  Yifang Tiandi, a large supermarket in Longhua District, is a place where takeaway riders gather and wait for orders. Usually, most of them hold their mobile phones and sit on the electric car, chatting from time to time, and more time is to pay attention to whether there is an order reminder on the mobile phone.

  Fang Liwen, the rider, picks up food here for half of his daily orders. Usually, he doesn’t dare to travel far for meals, so he usually chooses cheap places nearby. Because he likes to eat pasta, Fang Liwen often goes to a beef noodle restaurant, which costs about 10 yuan for a bowl of noodles. Sometimes, he orders pasta from the supermarket to improve his meal, but the price has doubled.

  Compared to Longhua District, there are many high-rise buildings in Nanshan District and Futian District, which makes it more expensive for riders to eat. On the afternoon of September 22, the reporter visited here and saw many takeaway riders who had just finished their meals eating in small restaurants. A takeaway rider told the reporter that there are several public welfare canteens nearby, and riders can enjoy preferential prices for their meals, but the canteen operation hours are generally from 11:30 to 13:30. During this time, they are busy delivering meals and have no time to eat. He hopes that the canteen can extend the dining time.

  Chengdu rider:

  Lunch at 15:00

  "I’ll go to Jingronghui for dinner at 15 o’clock, let’s meet there!" On the other end of the phone, Zhao Mingyang simply agreed with the reporter on the time and place of the interview, and then continued to devote himself to the tense meal delivery. For takeaway riders, time is money. Often after dinner, they have time to eat.

  In Chengdu, the food capital, the food delivery industry is at an active level. Zhao Mingyang’s business area is within a 5km radius near Chunxi Road and centered on Taikoo Li. This is the most prosperous business district in Chengdu. In the two years he has been a food delivery rider, he has completed 19,480 orders around this "circle" and accumulated a total mileage of 29,839km.

  The reporter followed Zhao Mingyang to the Jingronghui Shopping Center, and the automatic door slowly opened. The staff greeted him with familiarity. Zhao Mingyang nodded and said to the reporter with a smile, "We are all old friends.

  "Delivering food and meals here, the business volume and income must be considerable, right?" the reporter asked.

  "On my best day, I ran more than 80 orders, worked for 12 hours, and earned about 400 yuan, but this situation is very rare." Zhao Mingyang introduced that there are many riders near Chunxi Road. Although the order volume is large, the advantage is not obvious. Everyone’s monthly income is around 6,000 yuan, and only a few riders earn more than 10,000 yuan a month.

  While speaking, Zhao Mingyang brought the reporter to the dining point, which was a chain of fast-food restaurants, spacious and bright, with a clean environment and rich dishes.

  Due to the fact that the meal time had long passed, there were few customers, which made the takeaway riders who gathered here to eat stand out. Zhao Mingyang chose three stir-fried dishes, and after weighing, he spent 10 yuan. There was no limit to rice, and drinks were free to drink.

  It turned out that in order to ensure the delivery of food delivery in the OurHours section, the food delivery platform implemented a rotating duty system for riders, which meant that many people could not eat on time. Some platform partners have taken the initiative to provide riders with dining discounts and rest places. Zhao Mingyang said that there are still many restaurants that offer similar discounts.

  "Delivering food is hard work, but we also often get warmth." Zhao Mingyang said that now platform companies are paying more and more attention to the occupational health of riders, and the union department has also built outdoor rest stations for them. He and his colleagues increasingly find the professional appearance of riders dazzling. To impress when delivering food, some delivery staff also glue ponytails and cute tentacles on hard hats.

  "I like this job very much, running around the streets of the city, watching the crowds bustling and the cars coming and going, every day is full of vitality!" To facilitate work, Zhao Mingyang and two colleagues shared an old house near Chunxi Road. They don’t have the luxury of buying a house in a prosperous city, but they are willing to work hard and strive for this goal.

Can navigation software evade the Beijing license camera? Traffic control department will investigate

  According to regulations, foreign vehicles entering Beijing need to apply for a Beijing entry permit at the Beijing entry permit office or through the Beijing traffic police mobile phone client side. However, some drivers are thinking of "taking advantage of loopholes" and not applying for a Beijing entry permit, and driving by avoiding the camera. Recently, Beijing Youth Daily found that several mobile phone software clearly marked with the restricted camera appeared in the online software store, and some software even provides detour route planning and navigation to avoid the restricted camera.

  Navigation software can reduce the risk of being shot by 80%?

  Recently, a reporter from Beiqing Daily found that some special navigation software appeared in the mobile phone software store. In the introduction of this kind of navigation software, the map in the software will mark the camera of the vehicle with the foreign number plate without the Beijing license. "As long as you avoid these cameras, you can drive in Beijing even without the Beijing license."

  Developed by "out-of-town car owners who have trouble entering Beijing," the software reduces the likelihood of being detected by cameras by 80 percent, and the software’s map can also navigate a route to avoid entering Beijing, according to the introduction of an 18-yuan navigation software called "Duoduo Entering Beijing."

  One owner of Duoduo’s foreign license plate number said that he first downloaded the software to drive without penalty when he forgot to renew his license. The owner said that after using the software several times, he found that his violations were not only caught by the camera, but also fined. "Many cameras are not marked, and some are marked incorrectly. The route planned by the software cannot bypass all the cameras."

  The navigation route may still pass the camera

  The Beiqing Daily reporter downloaded and installed the "Duoduo Entry to Beijing" software. The map of the software is the same as that of ordinary navigation, but the map of the software has hundreds of red "pushpins" on it, and each "pushpin" shows the location of a camera and the accuracy of the camera. The Beiqing Daily reporter found that some cameras have a reminder that "east-west two-way, you can take the inner lane". The software contains data on 177 morning and evening peak cameras and 192 cameras with entry permits, as well as the update dates and accuracy rates of these cameras, according to a list of cameras in the software.

  The software also provides a driving navigation service that avoids the camera. A reporter from Beiqing Daily tried to let the software navigate the route from Tuanjiehu Park in Chaoyang District to the People’s Congress Affiliated Middle School in Haidian District. According to the navigation, when the owner travels from east to west to the Lenovo Bridge in the North Third Ring Road, he should turn north and right to enter Zhongguancun East Road. If he turns right to Zhongguancun Street as the usual navigation prompts, he may encounter a Beijing Entry Permit camera located west of Lenovo Bridge.

  But the Beiqing Daily reporter noticed that the planned route still passed through a red "thumbtack". This camera located in the east of Ximen Bridge on the outer ring of the North Third Ring Road was marked as the camera for entering Beijing. In this regard, the software reminded that the navigation is real-time, and the planned route may still pass through the camera, so "you need to pay attention to avoid the camera".

  Navigation may pose a threat to user safety

  As for whether the camera position on the software is accurate, the software developer once said: "The morning and evening peak camera is 90% accurate." At the same time, some industry insiders say that some of the content of the camera data in this software is credible, but the current camera is much more than that.

  Before 2013, the traffic control department announced that the content of electronic monitoring equipment included "the function of electronic eyes". Some drivers had the opportunity to "exploit loopholes" by inquiring about the monitoring types of these new electronic eyes and grasping the main violations of electronic eyes.

  Since March 2013, the list of new electronic eyes published on the website of the traffic control bureau has no longer informed the purpose of the electronic eyes. The new cameras only disclose location and location information, not function information. This move is to prevent "knowledgeable" drivers from evading punishment. The developer of this software has also expressed "fear of being investigated".

  On the afternoon of June 8, a reporter from Beiqing Daily learned from the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau Traffic Management Bureau that such software is made by individuals. "Using this software is’non-compliant ‘. Please don’t use this kind of software to take advantage of opportunities. If used improperly, it may threaten the user’s own safety and traffic safety." The traffic bureau said it would investigate and deal with the matter. Article/Reporter of this newspaper, Wang Tianqi

Smart travel makes cities faster


The project team successfully upgraded the public from traffic information users to traffic information collectors

On October 9th, at 18:00, due to the unlimited number, the evening rush hour in Beijing was particularly congested that day.

But for Qi Peng, who commutes between Tongzhou and Zhongguancun every day, dealing with such congestion is "very good". Before setting out, he always uses the mapping software on his mobile phone to navigate, so that he can choose the best driving route.

"Mobile navigation is one of the most frequent apps I open every day. Whether I’m driving or taking public transportation, it allows me to reach my destination accurately and quickly," Qi Peng told reporters.

Nowadays, with the rapid development of cities in our country, the increase in car ownership, and the development of mobile Internet, there are more and more people like Qi Peng, and smart travel has become the "new normal" for many people.

So, how can these navigation software that acts as a "guide" provide accurate road conditions to avoid congested roads? How can navigation software provide reasonable travel plans to help us reach our destinations easily?

In this regard, the "Urban Traffic Guidance and Navigation Travel Key Technology and Application Service" project team composed of the Institute of Geographic Resources of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhangcheng Technology, Qianfang Group and other units has spent many years of research, using satellite positioning, mobile communication, high-performance computing, geographic information system and other technologies to implement the real-time perception of the status of urban and intercity road traffic systems, accurately and comprehensively providing traffic conditions to the people through mobile phone navigation, roadside electronic bulletin boards, traffic radio and other channels. On this basis, the integrated driving behavior real-time sensing and analysis technology to achieve multi-mode and multi-standard dynamic navigation for public travel, improve travel efficiency; and assist traffic management departments to formulate traffic management plans, promote urban energy conservation and emission reduction, and improve urban operation efficiency. In the 2015 Beijing Science and Technology Awards review, the project won the first prize.

Create a national traffic information map

During the driving process, the navigation software would issue instructions and prompts in real time: "Turn left 100 meters ahead" "Congestion ahead is one kilometer, it is expected to take 5 minutes to pass"… Many people would be surprised, why is the navigation software so "smart"? Is it relying on the cameras on both sides of the road or the induction coil buried in the ground?

Lu Feng, the project owner and a researcher at the Institute of Geographic Resources of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told reporters that traditional traffic information acquisition relies on devices such as induction coils deployed under road sections or video probes above roads. "These devices are fixed in location and have high costs, so they cannot fully reflect the real-time status of urban traffic."

Therefore, the project team must "find another way".

The project team "targeted" the taxis. Since the taxis were equipped with satellite navigation and positioning, they could periodically send back location and status information to the monitoring and dispatching center. These taxis that cruised the streets every day became an important source of urban traffic information collection.

However, taxis are not a "one-and-done" solution. After all, the scale and range of taxis are limited. Especially with the increasing popularity of self-driving travel, timely access to inter-city and even national traffic information has become a "rigid demand" for people to travel.

The project team decided to build a new "traffic status induction coil," which covers a wide range of areas, including long-distance buses and trucks, monitoring tracks, mobile phone map client side tracks, Internet websites and social network text messages.

"According to the requirements of the state, all long-distance buses, tourist chartered buses, dangerous goods transporters and general cargo trucks across the country must be equipped with mandatory traffic monitoring equipment to monitor the whole process of driving, prevent drivers from driving fatigue and reduce traffic accidents. These instruments will upload the driving track of the car in real time, and the accuracy rate is extremely high, so that we have a mobile information source covering the whole country," Lu Feng said.

Not only that, the project team also keenly observed that in the Internet age, a large number of users use mobile map services online every day, and these high-frequency satellite positioning trajectories have undoubtedly greatly expanded the ranks of car-based mobile information sources. In addition, there is a huge amount of traffic information on the Internet, both official and netizens’ own road conditions, road books and other information posted on social networks. So, can we make full use of these high-frequency trajectories of Internet maps and massive text on social networks to give full play to the power of the masses and obtain real-time traffic information?

In response to these technical bottlenecks, the project team broke through technical bottlenecks such as large-scale high and low frequency moving target trajectory map matching and traffic state analysis, Internet and social media text contains traffic information extraction, and multi-source traffic information real-time fusion, and built a service delivery and user feedback traffic information ecosystem. A nationwide traffic information service system was established, and a national traffic information map was realized.

The project team successfully upgraded the public from traffic information users to traffic information collectors. This information provides people with the operation status of the urban road network, effectively guides people to travel and avoid congested road sections.

"When you open the navigation software, your current traffic information will be automatically uploaded, which means that everyone is both a beneficiary and a provider of traffic information, which is also a manifestation of the Internet sharing economy," Lu Feng said.

It is reported that today, the system processes more than 2 million taxis and vans, more than 8 million mobile phone map tracks, more than 10,000 fixed sensors, and more than 10,000 traffic event texts every day.

The efficiency of navigation map update is greatly improved

In navigation, we often worry that map updates cannot keep up with changes in roads or surrounding business districts. Due to the intensive construction of cities and frequent changes in commercial outlets, current applications such as mobile maps generally have insufficient timeliness.

In the past, navigation map updates had to be done by collecting vehicles and other means. Unlike ordinary vehicles, there was a half-meter-high white shelf on the roof of the collecting vehicle, and the camera on the shelf could take a full-angle shot of the surrounding scenery, and then transmit it to the computer. Then, the data operator would post-process the captured video, generate or update the navigation map, and store it in the system.

"This kind of update is very labor-intensive, and often a navigation map company has to maintain a data collection and update team of several hundred people, and the cost is huge," Lu Feng said.

The project team believes that the mobile Internet has provided a good information sharing environment for businesses and the general public, and various time-sensitive road network maps and business service information have emerged in an endless stream. If these non-professional maps originated from volunteers are integrated with professional navigation map data, they can provide services to the general public faster and better.

In response to this technical bottleneck, the project team conducted in-depth research, first proposed a geometric pattern-based interest point and road network integration model, established a mapping relationship between the two, and broke through the problem of semantic consistency detection. Then, a heuristic probabilistic relaxation matching model was proposed to achieve the perfect integration of volunteer sources and commercial navigation road networks, with matching accuracy better than 95%, effectively ensuring the richness of information in travel navigation and map applications.

Convenient and accurate multimodal path navigation

Nowadays, the use of mobile phone navigation is not only in driving, but also in the bus, subway, bicycle or walking.

When we go to unfamiliar places by public transportation, we usually need to consider a series of questions: which bus to take? How to get to the bus stop? Which subway to change? How to change to the subway? Which subway exit to enter and exit from? How to get to where we want to go after getting out?…

Due to the differences in the road network environment, these personalized multi-mode travel needs are becoming increasingly prominent. Coupled with the real-time changes in road condition information and the rapid changes in the road network environment, how to provide multi-mode, multi-standard and reliable travel route choices according to the needs of the people?

In response to this problem, the project team developed a travel path planning algorithm group that takes into account different travel standards (short time, low cost, low fuel consumption, less transfer, etc.) and involves different travel modes (self-driving, taxi, bus, subway, walking, etc.).

The algorithm breaks through the technical bottlenecks of multi-mode traffic network spatial data model, multi-mode connectivity automatic processing, reliable travel time prediction, multi-mode multi-standard reliable path planning, multi-user concurrent path query load balancing, etc., and realizes the upgrade of the navigation system.

"We can provide a reasonable travel plan based on the starting and ending points set by the people themselves, and help the people reach the destination conveniently," Lu Feng said.

Environmentally friendly driver assistance systems reduce energy waste

Advocating green travel and achieving energy conservation and emission reduction is the eternal pursuit of urban transportation. Drivers’ bad driving habits often increase the fuel consumption cost of cars, resulting in energy waste and environmental pollution.

In response to this problem, the project team developed an environmentally friendly driving assistance system to provide drivers with a driving strategy suggestion function. This function uses mathematical modeling to transform environmentally friendly driving problems into optimization problems, and calculates the speed range of the car through traffic flow modeling. Then, the optimal driving strategy (optimal gear, speed) of the car in each speed range is solved through the equation between fuel consumption and the driving speed, gear position, and engine load of the car.

The system also collects vehicle driving data such as engine speed and acceleration through a variety of sensors to judge the driver’s environmental protection driving level, establish an incentive mechanism for environmental scoring rankings, and promote a benign change in drivers’ driving habits. At the same time, combined with real-time traffic information, a dynamic path method for energy-saving and environmentally friendly driving has been developed, providing people with green travel planning for energy conservation and emission reduction.

It is understood that the real-time traffic information released by the project covers major highways, national highways and provincial highways across the country (with a mileage of more than 85,000 kilometers), as well as 47 large and medium-sized cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, with an accuracy rate of more than 90%. The research results are directly transformed into three software products and a traffic information service website, and through traffic information services and traffic information technology services, it has successfully cooperated with Internet manufacturers, automobile manufacturers, navigation map manufacturers, and mobile communication operators. The users of traffic information products exceed 200 million, and the daily visits exceed 10 million, generating direct economic benefits 120 million yuan.

The research results of this project have greatly improved the technical level of our country’s traffic information service industry, promoted the formation and improvement of our country’s traffic information service technology system, provided mature traffic guidance information support for large and medium-sized urban traffic management departments across the country, and provided hundreds of millions of users across the country with all-weather and large-scale smart travel information services.

Huawei Digital Energy: Empowering new "basic" opportunities and providing green power for the intelligent world.

At present, the digital economy characterized by information technologies such as 5G, big data, AI and artificial intelligence has swept the world, profoundly changing the production and lifestyle of human beings and becoming a new kinetic energy and new direction of global economic development.

As an important material basis for the survival and development of human society, energy plays an important role in the digital economy. The United Nations report on digital economy in 2019 shows that energy infrastructure will become an important foundation of digital economy to ensure the efficient and reliable operation of digital technology.

With the rapid development of the digital economy, the digital transformation of the energy industry has also entered the fast lane. Energy digitalization is regarded as an important driving force to realize the transformation and upgrading of the traditional energy industry and revitalize it, which is expected to reshape the global energy development trend.

However, while the digital transformation of energy helps the world’s energy pattern to be profoundly adjusted and the energy structure to be continuously optimized, the challenges and development bottlenecks it faces cannot be ignored.

How to use digital technology to break industry boundaries and lead the energy industry to transform into low-carbon, electrification, digitalization and intelligence? How to improve energy efficiency and reduce maintenance costs? How to seize the new "foundation" and reshape the power generation structure, so that clean energy power generation can rise from supplementary energy to main energy?

On September 24th, during the period of Huawei Connect 2020, Zhou Taoyuan, President of Huawei Digital Energy Product Line, Zhou Liang, Chief Marketing Officer of Huawei Digital Energy Product Line, and Peng Jianhua, President of Huawei Site Energy Field, expounded how Huawei Digital Energy will break the bottleneck restricting the digital transformation of energy one by one around the theme of "leading energy digitalization and building a green and intelligent world".

Huawei is fully connected to the 2020 media round-table interview site.

Huawei’s determination

Perhaps the renaming of Huawei Digital Energy can better reflect its determination to break down industry barriers and provide green power for the smart world.

Zhou Taoyuan, president of Huawei’s digital energy product line, said in an interview that "Huawei’s network energy was officially renamed Huawei Digital Energy in May this year", which is the symbolic signal of Huawei’s deep cut into the digital energy market.

Behind Huawei’s deep penetration into the digital energy market is its deep understanding of energy digitalization.

While digital technology is deeply integrated with all walks of life, its own development also needs strong energy base to support it, so as to eliminate the energy gap in the digital world, accelerate the deployment process of digital infrastructure, realize the sustainable development of the digital world, and let more people enjoy the convenience and beauty brought by the digital world.

"Huawei wants to be the energy base of the digital world, organically combine power electronics technology, ICT technology, artificial intelligence technology, big data and cloud, manage watts by bits, lead the digital transformation of energy, and make energy extremely simple, green, efficient, intelligent and reliable, thus helping clean energy become the main energy and building a green and intelligent world. This is Huawei’s goal in the energy field." Zhou Taoyuan said.

A passage from the official website of Huawei Digital Energy not only explains the company’s mission and value, but also specifically explains the concept of "energy base" at the product level:

The intelligent world of the Internet of Everything is coming. Facing the challenges of the new era, Huawei Digital Energy can provide energy solutions that fully meet the application scenarios of the ICT industry, including all-scene intelligent sites from fixed network to wireless and intelligent data centers from edge to cloud. It helps telecom and tower operators achieve green, efficient, safe, reliable and intelligent business, and supports the smooth evolution of ICT networks to 5G and all-cloud.

At the same time, Zhou Taoyuan further added, "For many years, Huawei has been hoping to use communication and connection technologies to make energy into a network that can be correlated and managed. With the advent of the digital economy, it is necessary to superimpose advanced technologies such as big data, AI, 5G, cloud and artificial intelligence to solve application problems such as high energy consumption, low energy efficiency and operation and maintenance. It is necessary to introduce it into the energy industry through more digital means, and truly realize the conversion, storage and control and support of digital technology to electric energy. Therefore, Huawei Network Energy officially changed its name to Huawei Digital Energy ".

Digital Energy "Inverter" Smart Photovoltaic

In fact, before the name change, Huawei Digital Energy has been leading the digital transformation of energy. Among them, the most representative is its successful application in smart photovoltaic power plants.

"Smart photovoltaic is the application of integrating ICT technology with photovoltaic, which has brought the ultimate improvement in efficiency to the industry." Liang Zhou, chief marketing official of Huawei’s digital energy product line, said, "Huawei is the first enterprise in the industry to introduce AI technology into photovoltaics. Huawei’s AI technology and experience can be reused in the photovoltaic field. This innate cross-border innovation technology and resources are not available to peers. "

Fang Liangzhou’s speech film shows that the AI applications of Huawei digital energy in photovoltaic industry include intelligent SDS, intelligent IV, intelligent grid connection, intelligent AFCI, fast turn-off technology and intelligent image recognition.

Among them, intelligent IV diagnosis is a successful application of AI technology in intelligent photovoltaic power station, which subverts the traditional manual inspection method. The traditional way is to manually go to the station for inspection, take the equipment and check it by sampling, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack and has great uncertainty.

Huawei intelligent IV diagnosis can remotely confirm the fault location and type of photovoltaic string by using the string current and voltage data collected by the string inverter combined with big data mining and AI identification algorithm.

Through one-click scanning, the 100MW power station can automatically generate fault diagnosis reports of all the strings within 15 minutes. The operation and maintenance time has changed from the original month to the minute.

In fact, when Huawei first entered the photovoltaic field, it took the series inverter as the starting point. The photovoltaic inverter market is mainly divided into two technical routes: centralized inverter and series inverter. At that time, the industry generally believed that centralized inverters were suitable for large-scale ground power stations, and series inverters were more suitable for distributed power stations.

When the centralized inverter is the absolute mainstream of the market, Huawei is different from its peers in the industry in introducing series inverters. However, Huawei’s series inverters have finally withstood the test of the market.

Fang Liangzhou believes that "the multi-channel MPPT function of series inverter is not affected by module differences and shading between series inverters, which minimizes the mismatch of photovoltaic modules, thus bringing higher power generation. When the abandonment failure occurs, the affected loss is lower, and the life cycle maintenance cost is lower, which objectively increases the power generation and reduces the maintenance cost. "

According to incomplete statistics, more and more large photovoltaic power plants have begun to use series inverters. In the bidding of the five major power generation groups, more than 80% of them use series inverters, and series inverters have become the mainstream of the market.

Digital energy empowers "new infrastructure"

Huawei’s leading role in the digital transformation of energy is also reflected in its strong green and intelligent Internet data center.

As we all know, this year, the National People’s Congress and the National People’s Congress wrote the new infrastructure construction into the "Government Work Report" for the first time, which pressed the "fast forward button" for the transformation of China’s digital economy. No matter in the seven directions of "new infrastructure" defined by CCTV or the main areas announced by the National Development and Reform Commission, the data center is undoubtedly one of the protagonists.

However, the acceleration of "new infrastructure" has injected momentum into the development of China’s digital economy, but it is also accompanied by many challenges such as long construction period, high energy consumption, difficult operation and maintenance, safety and reliability.

How to deal with these challenges? The digitization and intelligent upgrade of the data center itself has become the key. Fang Liangzhou said, "Huawei, which has been deeply involved in the field of ICT for many years and has strong technical advantages and profound experience in the fields of 5G, Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data and artificial intelligence, has proved the green power injected by digital energy into the’ new infrastructure’ with its digital transformation solutions specially launched for the’ new infrastructure’ and practical cases that have successfully landed."

Specifically, Huawei’s next-generation data center adopts a fully modular design idea, which greatly shortens the construction period while fully meeting the differentiated needs and can be delivered within 6 months; Based on AHU and icooling technology, the PUE value can be reduced by 0.08-0.15; Through the power module and lithium battery, the floor space is reduced by 40% and the out-of-cabinet rate is increased by 10%; Use DCIM and 3i (iPower, iCooling, iManager) to reduce operation and maintenance costs and manual misoperation. Thus, "let time be visible, let funds be used rationally, and let IRR improve quickly"

Huawei has also made great achievements in the construction of ——5G base stations, another important part of the "new infrastructure".

"In the past, the digitalization of site energy was not enough. Many operators were not sure about the actual energy consumption, power reserve, inaccurate battery allocation, and whether the safety and reliability were guaranteed. Therefore, it is imperative to eliminate the digital site energy gap while accelerating the digital transformation of the industry," said Peng Jianhua, president of Huawei’s site energy field. "Huawei launched a 5G complete solution iSitePower based on industry sites. From the components to the site to the whole network, we know and have products and technologies. Through the integration of power electronics, AI and other technologies and the cooperation of industries, we can achieve’ 5G without electricity charges’.

In a word, Huawei is redefining the energy infrastructure with digital technology, vigorously developing the digital energy industry, focusing on smart photovoltaics, data centers, site energy and many other fields, providing minimalist, green, intelligent and safe solutions to help the high-quality construction of "new infrastructure".

M9 officially released Yu Chengdong: The best SUV within 10 million is coming.

The Beijing News Shell Financial News (Reporter Lin Zi) "The best SUV within 10 million is coming". On December 26th, the conference of M9 and Huawei’s whole winter scene was held in Shenzhen. Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, CEO of BG and chairman of BU, a smart car solution, took the stage to introduce the models, and there was a cry of "far ahead".

Yu Chengdong compared the M9 with many cars, saying that the car’s body-in-white aluminum alloy accounted for 80% by volume, and its body lightweight coefficient was 2.02, which was lighter than that of Maibakh GLS600. "The turning radius of the M9 is smaller than that of Model 3".
