Photos: Friends revealed that Lin Qingxia and Qin Han once met through "secret paths"

Lin Qingxia and Qin and Han Dynasties



  In front of the living room window of Lin Qingxia’s former residence in Taipei, you can see the Daan Building (spire) opposite, which was the former residence of Qin and Han Dynasties.


    Lin Qingxia, who rarely attends public events after marriage, recently appeared in Taipei. During this period, she was asked by the media whether she had put up for sale the old building in Taipei before her marriage. Because it was the residence of her parents and sister during the boom period, now that her parents have died and her sister has married to the United States for many years, the building has been empty for years. But Lin Qingxia replied: "Absolutely nothing, that is the place where I lived for many years, and I had a lot of memories. I didn’t wait for money, so I let it be set up." In this regard, Du Huidong, a Hong Kong filmmaker and friend of Lin Qingxia, wrote a recent article that the residence contains a sweet and secret memory.


    Du Huidong revealed, "The mansion of Renai Building where Lin Qingxia lived was originally shared with the basement parking lot of Da’an Building, a mansion on Da’an Road. At that time, Qin Han, Qingxia’s sweetheart, lived in Da’an Building. The street names and house signs of the two buildings are different, and the entrances are far apart, but the two floors can be interconnected through the downstairs parking lot. Qin and Han can often enter the elevator from the parking lot to Lin Qingxia’s house. This is something that the paparazzi who are so powerful can’t find out. They often do this."


    Du Huidong said that he went to Lin Qingxia’s house for breakfast twice in the morning, and was surprised to find that Qin Han was making breakfast in the kitchen. The two of them are best at fried eggs with tomatoes, which is delicious and weight loss.

Rolling ruts, imprinted with the memory of the times

Time is running, the prosperous land of China

Time flies, and the beautiful mountains and rivers will be given.

Looking back on the 70-year journey of the national automobile industry

There is a ray of glory that always shines in it

It is the first of its kind, and the original intention remains unchanged

It is a spiritual portrayal of self-improvement

It is the glory and sharing of a powerful country

It gallops all over the country

With rolling ruts, engrave the memory of the times…

In 1956, on the long road, a green figure galloped past, it was the new liberation CA10 was being put into the fiery construction of New China, the driver in the car hummed "Labor horn", full of pride in driving a domestic car, how inspiring the melody was, how impassioned the journey was.

In the 1980s, with the deepening of reform and opening up, a large number of foreign imported trucks flooded into the Chinese market, and Jiefang was facing a huge impact. In order to accelerate modernization and better meet the needs of the times, at the beginning of the new year in 1987, Jiefang’s second-generation product CA141 was grandly launched, and it was replaced with the fastest speed and the best standards. Jiefang completed the second business in the struggle.

In 1995, in order to keep up with the development trend of international heavy trucks, the third generation of Liberation trucks began mass production with a new look of flat heads. Since then, the third generation of Liberation Flathead diesel vehicles have accompanied business owners to travel from coast to inland, from the North to the South, and Liberation trucks are everywhere!

In 2002, large-scale infrastructure projects were in full swing across the country. In order to meet the needs of engineering construction, the fourth-generation product of Liberation – the "Four Enhanced" model came into being, and became a household name "Engineering King" in one fell swoop. The roar of Liberation truck engines resounded throughout China, creating a new colorful movement for the national economy to take off.

In 2004, as China entered the millennial era, it became more confident and self-reliant. Energy engineering, aerospace engineering and other scientific and technological innovation fields have achieved world-renowned achievements. At this time, full of national self-confidence and the liberation of independent innovation, Aowei Heavy Truck once again announced to the world that China’s automobile industry is making great progress.

In 2007, our country’s manufacturing industry made a leap in development, and the automobile industry continued to accelerate the pace of innovation. Jiefang launched a new generation of truck J6 in this year, opening up a new journey to get rich for card friends. In 2019, the sales volume of the J6 category exceeded 1 million, becoming a veritable industry "magic car".

In 2018, the world’s attention frequently focused on China, and FAW Jiefang, with the mission of "car power, industry serving the country", began to make full progress to the international high-end heavy truck standard. The J7, which took 7 years of research and development, officially ranked among the world’s first-class heavy trucks.

Porsche responded to Xiaomi’s "plagiarism": a dirty word was not said, but every word was criticized.

On March 28th, after the SU7 was unveiled, it was teased by netizens that the appearance of the car was similar, calling it "Mi Shijie".

Judging from the details of the appearance, it is indeed very similar to Porsche, and even after covering the logo, it will make people feel stupid and unclear.

Lei Jun, founder of Xiaomi Automobile, said at the press conference that Xiaomi Automobile should build a Dream Car comparable to Porsche and Porsche. However, many people questioned why Porsche didn’t sue Xiaomi when Xiaomi SU7 "paid tribute" to Porsche.

The reason is that although Xiaomi has borrowed from it, it is very advanced. Xiaomi’s approach is between direct copying and his own design. The design of this car has the shadow of Porsche, but it cannot be said that it is completely copied from Porsche. Although this makes Porsche angry, it is helpless, and like, it is indeed almost a one-to-one copy.

As for the tribute to Xiaomi Automobile, Porsche executives recently responded, "For the similarities between Xiaomi SU7 and Porsche, I think maybe a good design is always in the heart." On 14th, during the 4th China International Consumer Goods Expo, Michael Kirsch, President and CEO of Porsche China, said in an exclusive interview with the media.

In addition, Porsche executives also said that Porsche has followed the brand’s unique design aesthetics and the creed of "design follows function" and has formed a distinctive brand recognition in the past 75 years. Porsche always adheres to the spirit of innovation in product research and development, and adheres to strict and meticulous standards in product manufacturing."We look forward to fair, just, honest and legal benign competition with enterprises that apply the same standards or even higher requirements."

This wave of response doesn’t seem to blame Xiaomi Automobile, but the master speaks and every sentence is learning. Let’s analyze it carefully.

First of all, "Good design always has a heart in mind" does not directly point out that Xiaomi’s car has been copied, but it has a heart in mind, which is poking fun at Xiaomi. It can be said that the two sides have no communication before, have never seen each other’s works, and then make the same design. It can be said that there is a heart in mind. After all, Porsche’s design came out first, and it is highly recognized and recognizable. Everyone can know that it is Porsche’s work at a glance.

Look at the second sentence, "Porsche has followed the brand’s unique design aesthetics and the creed of" design follows function ",and has formed a distinctive brand recognition in the past 75 years", which almost clearly accuses Xiaomi of plagiarism. The unique design and distinctive recognition is to say that Porsche’s design has its own characteristics and high recognition. It is difficult for the two car companies to form such a coincidence in design.

Look at the third sentence,"We look forward to fair, just, honest and legal benign competition with enterprises that apply the same standards or even higher requirements." This sentence is a slap in the face. In the first half of the sentence, it is obvious that some people look down on Xiaomi Automobile, saying that Xiaomi Automobile and Porsche are not competitors at the same level, and in terms of standards, they are not at the same level as Porsche. In the second half, they directly accuse Xiaomi Automobile of not competing with Porsche fairly, justly and legally.

This wave of Porsche’s response doesn’t seem to blame Xiaomi, but there is something in it. The meaning of belittling and accusing Xiaomi is very obvious. Many people say that Porsche is too damaged, but you must know that Porsche is a victim, and the design passed down by others for decades can be used for reference. It is not very meaningful to sue you. Can people not be angry?

Some netizens suggested that Xiaomi simply buy Porsche, which is also a bit funny. The parent company of Porsche is that in 2023, audi ag’s operating income was 322.3 billion euros, which was the second largest in the world. Although it was impacted by new energy vehicles, it was not a new recruit who just entered the automobile industry. Porsche is an important sub-brand of Volkswagen and a profit cow of Volkswagen Group. Will people sell it casually?

Needless to say, this interview of Porsche China executives is really quite good, which is much higher than that of some domestic car executives. There is not a word of criticism, but it expresses Porsche’s attitude, which is worth learning from domestic executives.

ICAR brand upgrade, with V23 brand night, young people’s dream car listed at the end of the year.

With rich experience in industrial design, product definition and innovative marketing, combined with Chery Automobile’s technical development, supply chain and quality management capabilities, it will inject new potential energy into iCAR and bring new experiences to young users.

Icarv23-Young People’s First Car

Under the background that the automobile industry has entered the era of "super product manager", Dr. Su Jun said that iCAR firmly believes in the value of users and the power of products. He will lead the team to build a cool and valuable car for young people with the concept of "single model, high quality, mass and long cycle".

As the first product of brand upgrading, iCAR V23 is positioned as "style off-road electric city SUV".

At the same time, it gives a huge space for the car, and upgrades the driving experience with super comfortable seats and "high-profile" vision.

In terms of intelligence, V23 also performed well. Thanks to L2+ intelligent driving and the application of 8155 mainstream chip car, users can easily master the road conditions and enjoy the pleasure of "on the road".

ICAR V23 accurately meets the core value needs of young users. With its high value, high taste, high texture, super practicality and reliability, it has become an ideal choice for "the first car for young people". As Su Jun promised at the press conference, the upgraded brand iCAR will continue to stride forward on the new energy track, and finally realize "let everyone enjoy the fun of exquisite technology", so that young people can, should and must drive the coolest and most fun car right now.

Brand-new product matrix-the first choice for young people

At the event site, iCAR previewed X25, the first model of X series.

X25, which is positioned in medium and large off-road MPV, is an innovative work of iCAR for the future new energy era. Its body design combines classic off-road elements with single-car design to show the sense of future science fiction. Relying on the technological advantages of the new energy platform, X25 has better maneuverability and stability, and the fully flat floor design can realize transparent interior space and flexible seat combination to meet various travel needs.

In the future, iCAR brand will continue to enlarge the core value of users based on the explicit needs of users, which is embodied in the joint efforts of its 0, V and X series to create a rich product matrix. Among them, 0 series focuses on exquisite technology and pursues equal rights in science and technology; V series features off-road style, emphasizing differentiation, high value and super practicality; X series is committed to becoming a "new species of single-compartment car". ICAR brand will continue to show its strength and innovation ability in different fields, meet the diversified needs of more young users, and accompany them to start a wonderful travel life together.

A Powerful Resource of "Spare No Effort" —— Young People’s First "Trust"

A good product cannot be separated from a good system support. Chery, as a model of technological enterprise, has been insisting on self-research of technology since its inception, deeply ploughing into the field of automobile technology and constantly overcoming technical difficulties. Technology Chery will rely on the "Eta Ursae Majoris 2025" technology system, invest no less than 100 billion yuan in the next five years to build a 300+ Eta Ursae Majoris laboratory, and continuously develop various new technologies in the five core technology fields of Mars architecture, Kunpeng Power, Lion Intelligent Cabin, Great Wisdom Driving and Galaxy Ecology. Zhang Hongyu, deputy general manager of Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. and general manager of iCAR brand, said that Chery’s strong technical reserve is like a treasure chest, with everything.

ICAR brand relies on this treasure chest to accurately find out the suitable technology needed by young users. ICAR’s first product, iCAR 03, sold 5487 vehicles in March and 2113 vehicles in the first ten days of April, an increase of 81% from the previous month, and the sales trend was unstoppable.

At present, iCAR 03 has completed the first OTA upgrade, and the functions such as high-speed NOA and cross-floor memory parking have been fully "boarded", adopting a pure visual route, leading the technology and being close to the people, making it the first choice for this price segment. In addition, iCAR can continue to iteratively upgrade the electric four-wheel drive through technical means such as software upgrade and front and rear axle decoupling, making driving more flexible and interesting.

Backed by Chery’s strong technical strength, iCAR is full of confidence in the security field, providing users with all-round security protection. For the car body, it adopts multi-cavity, cage and steel-aluminum mixed structure, and the strength of B-pillar is as high as 1800Mpa. Combined with the embracing force transmission structure, it can cope with all kinds of collisions in all directions.

Battery safety is the most important thing. Chery has accumulated more than 30 test items in battery system safety standards, far exceeding the national standard and industry standards. It only uses battery cells from large factories, adopts sandwich structure, has strong impact resistance at the bottom, and combines with the early warning system of big data platform to identify risks in advance and ensure battery safety.

    The young actor and the young star (below) are very similar


    The reporter learned from Hong Kong Xinghui Company that the sci-fi family film "Yangtze River No. 7" directed by Stephen Chow has not passed the film bureau’s review and will be released on January 31 next year.

    The film makes up for childhood regrets


    As early as during the filming of "Kung Fu", Zhou Xingchi began to conceive the script of "Yangtze River No. 7", and Zhou Xingchi had the idea of shooting a film reflecting the relationship between father and son for a long time. According to Wei Dashen, Zhou Xingchi grew up in a single-parent family, and the lack of fatherly love in his childhood has always been his regret, more or less shadowed, which has also become his motivation for shooting "Yangtze River No. 7". When "Yangtze River No. 7" was about to start filming, no young actors were selected. Until Zhou Xingchi saw Xu Jiao, he only auditioned for one audition and decided that Xu Jiao would play his son in reverse. When everyone saw Xu Jiao, they immediately understood that she was quite similar to Zhou Xingchi in childhood, which verified Zhou Xingchi’s motivation for making the film.


    Industry insiders who have seen rough-cut samples say that "Yangtze River No. 7" is the purest of Chow’s films, expressing the sincere love between father and son. Although there is a hazy love between Chow Xingchi and Zhang Yuqi in the film, it is very subtle and the proportion is insignificant.


    Aliens are all computer-generated


    In the movie "Yangtze River No. 7", in addition to Zhou Xingchi and his son, there are also many alien scenes. Although there is only one alien flying saucer "Yangtze River No. 7" in the film, there will be many aliens. For the convenience of posting productin, Zhou Xingchi and Xu Jiao are often acting in the air. Xinghui Company revealed that almost all the alien movements of aliens are synthesized by computers, and only the facial expressions are specially played by real people, similar to "Gollum" in "Lord of the Rings".


    Xinghui spokesperson Wei Dashen admitted that the addition of extraterrestrial elements to the father-son relationship is on the one hand because Zhou Xingchi has always liked Spielberg’s science fiction movies, such as "The Third Kind of Contact" and "E.T.", and on the other hand, it is also for commercial reasons.


    "Take Off the Trash" was filmed for seven days


    The reporter learned that "Changjiang No. 7" is actually the name of the alien flying saucer in the movie. Xinghui recently released a batch of stills of "Changjiang No. 7" to the public. The most eye-catching scene is the scene where Zhou Xingchi watched the alien flying saucer rise slowly from a pile of garbage. This scene seems simple, but it is time-consuming and expensive to shoot. It is reported that this scene cost several million yuan and took seven days to complete. Zhou Xingchi rented an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs of Ningbo and bought tons of garbage to make it look like a garbage dump. He also specially ordered five flying saucers to make it easier for the flying saucers to be replaced after they were damaged during shooting. Sure enough, because the flying saucers were too heavy, the steel wires of the crane could not bear it, and a total of two flying saucers were broken during shooting. In addition, Zhou Xingchi required that garbage constantly fall from the flying saucer during the process of lifting the flying saucer from the garbage heap. In actual shooting, the garbage always fell off the flying saucer as soon as it left the ground, but did not fall down during the ascent process. The staff had to tie the large garbage on the flying saucer with Weiya, so that it could fall down one by one during the ascent of the flying saucer. After such a toss, this scene was filmed for 7 days.

Losses in half a year exceeded 10 billion! When will NIO climb out of the "autophagy" vortex of gross profit margin?

In addition to huge losses, NIO is getting deeper and deeper in the vortex of "autophagy" of gross margins.

The new power automakers in the first half of 2023 showed a trend of polarization, both in terms of delivery volume and performance.

Looking at the half-year performance of listed car companies according to the statistics of "Automotive K Line", only three car companies in the passenger car sector have experienced the phenomenon of "loss expansion", NIO and XPeng Motors occupy two of them, and they are also lossmaking. NIO’s situation is somewhat special.

1 Former "boss", today "hip pulling"

With the announcement of NIO’s second-quarter results on August 29, the former three giants of new forces "Wei Xiaoli" and the late-comer Zero Run Car both handed over the first half of 2023. Among the three giants of new forces who used to "remember the hardships and think about changes" together, Li Auto has already taken the lead in turning losses into profits and successfully entered the independent head camp. However, NIO, which was ranked first in new forces, has been left behind by Li Auto by a huge gap, and even inferior to the late IPO Zero Run Car.

The second quarter results show that NIO’s operating income in the second quarter of 2023 reached 8.772 billion yuan, down 14.8% and 17.8% from the same quarter, lower than market expectations. Among them, automobile sales were 7.185 billion yuan, with a decrease of more than 20% from the same quarter.

In this regard, the explanation given by NIO is that the average selling price was reduced mainly due to the increase in the delivery of ET5 and 75kWh standard battery packs, and the decline in delivery also led to the decline in Quarter 1 car sales.


"The image is from the NIO announcement."

From the perspective of deliveries, NIO did experience a short-term slump in the first half of the year.

In the second quarter of this year, NIO delivered 23,520 vehicles, a decrease of 6.14% year-on-year and a decrease of 24.22% month-on-month; in the first half of the year, 54,561 vehicles were delivered, a slight increase of 7.35% year-on-year; after June, NIO deliveries gradually picked up and exceeded 20,000 vehicles in July.

Li Auto has continued to break through this year, and has delivered 139,100 vehicles in the first half of the year alone.

As for profits, it is also the case of "one family is happy and several are worried".

In the second quarter of this year, Li Auto’s net profit reached 2.31 billion yuan, an increase of 147.4% compared with Quarter 1, becoming the third new energy automobile company to maintain consecutive quarterly profits after BYD and Tesla.

NIO is showing a trend of expanding losses. In the second quarter, NIO’s net loss was 6.056 billion yuan, an increase of 119.6% year-on-year and 27.8% month-on-month. In the first half of this year, NIO’s net loss has exceeded 10.90 billion yuan, an increase of 139.07% year-on-year. The degree of loss is about two Xiaopeng and close to five zero runs.

No matter whether it is a single quarter or the entire first half of the year, NIO’s net profit attributable to the parent has hit a record low for the same period in history.

When everyone first "debuted" at the same time, NIO was once the "big brother" of the new car-making force in the limelight, but now its profitability is directly at the bottom of the "Wei Xiaoli" three, and it is even inferior to the zero-run car that came from behind.

Where did NIO’s money "lose"?

2 Continuing the "vicious circle" for the first quarter?

In fact, the previously mentioned problem of falling auto sales due to higher deliveries of low-priced cars did not occur only in the second quarter. According to the first quarter performance report of 2023, NIO’s auto sales revenue in the first quarter was 9.225 billion yuan, down 0.2% and 37.5% respectively from Quarter 1 in 2022 and the fourth quarter of 2022.

In this regard, NIO said that the lower average selling price was mainly due to the higher proportion of ET5 and 75kWh standard battery pack deliveries, which was partially offset by the increase in deliveries.

This is the same as the explanation given by NIO in the 2023 second quarter report mentioned earlier.

It can be seen through public information that the price of ET5 75kWh is about 298,000 yuan, while the price of the 100kWh version is about 356,000 yuan, and the price difference between the two is about 60,000 yuan. Although the first and second quarter results did not disclose the specific model sales ratio, the increase in the proportion of low-priced car deliveries brought more than just the decline in car sales.

In the face of the Hong Kong stock market that values delivery volume, NIO sold a large number of low-priced and low-battery models in the first quarter, resulting in gross profit being swallowed up, which is similar to "drinking poison to quench thirst". However, in the second quarter, in addition to the above reasons, the sales of used cars with lower gross margins also increased.

As a result, NIO’s overall gross profit margin fell from 1.5% in the first quarter to 1% in the second quarter, and in 2022, its gross profit margin in the first and second quarters can still be maintained at 14.6% and 13%, which shows that the "side effect" of low-priced models is really obvious.

What needs to be added is that the gross margin of the NIO business alone actually increased by 1.1 percentage points in the second quarter of 2023 due to the decrease in the promotion of the previous generation ES8, ES6 and EC6 models. However, compared with the same period in 2022, the gross margin decreased by more than 10 percentage points due to the previously mentioned product portfolio changes.

It is worth noting that while NIO’s revenue decreased, losses expanded, and overall gross profit margin decreased, investment did not contract. Data show that NIO’s sales, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of this year were 2.857 billion yuan, which was higher than Li Auto and XPeng Motors 550 million yuan and 1.30 billion yuan respectively.

On the other hand, NIO’s operating expenses are also rising, of which R & D expenses reached 3.345 billion yuan in the second quarter, an increase of 55.6% year-on-year, mainly due to the increase in R & D personnel costs, equity incentive expenses, and new product and new technology design and development.

The poor performance has made the NIO dual shares equally "unfavorable" in the capital markets. In the August list of auto stocks counted by Auto K Line, both NIO dual shares fell from the "red list" in July to the "green list" in August, with a decline of 32.88% (US stocks) and 27.93% (Hong Kong stocks), ranking second and fifth from the bottom of the August total list respectively.

Although the performance and stock price are not satisfactory, NIO is still optimistic. In the third quarter of 2023, NIO expects to deliver 55,000-57,000 new cars, an increase of 74% -80.3% compared with the same quarter in 2022; the revenue guidance is 18.898 billion yuan-19.50 billion yuan, an increase of 45.3% -50.1% year-on-year. Comparing the year-on-year growth rate of deliveries and revenue, it is not difficult to find that in the third quarter, NIO may still be difficult to get out of the whirlpool of gross margin "autophagy".

Looking back at the first half of the year, NIO experienced a period of downturn.

Perhaps the release of the mid-size SUV EC6 on September 15 can help NIO start from "selling more cars" and achieve more profitability.

The victory and defeat of the first half of the year has become history, and a new round of battle between the three Wei Xiaoli families has begun. Li Bin, who has always believed in long-termism, when can NIO climb out of the vortex of "autophagy" of gross profit margins?
