The stylish, elegant and tense interior of the Mercedes-Benz GLE450 is the greatest competitiveness of the new GLE. Almost any compliment can be used to describe its design. There is no doubt that the high-end leather-wrapped + stitched interior materials are at the top of the class in terms of feel and visual effect. The four rounded rectangles located below the central control screen further enhance the power of the new GLE and distinguish it from other models. The steering wheel is in line with the new S-Class. The three-spoke shape not only reflects the young side of the new GLE, but also the feel of the metal buttons is first-class.

　

The Mercedes-Benz GLE450 is softer in design. The large-size wheels and brake discs reveal a strong sporty atmosphere. The GLE450 is constantly improving and pursuing higher quality. The tough body lines have a self-evident majesty inside, and the shiny Mercedes-Benz logo is shocking.

The distinctive feature of the Mercedes-Benz GLE450 is a sloping or vertical tailgate at the rear, which opens the door and connects the luggage compartment with the passenger space. The new Mercedes-Benz GLE450’s strong and flexible body lines make the whole body more elegant. The rear bumper is wrapped in matte aluminum alloy, which makes it full of texture and wildness. In business situations, it shows domineering, but for family members, this car brings total security.

In terms of body length, height and wheelbase, there are only minor differences between the two. The Mercedes-Benz GLE450 has a more fluid adjustment to the lower air intake grille. The front bumper has larger openings on both sides, and the lower lip is decorated with silver chrome and has a spoiler groove plan. The chrome decoration area of the lower air intake grille is increased, and the fog lamps on both sides are attempted to be removed on both sides, which is more behavioral. The new hollowed-out solid three-pronged emblem is even more distinguished.

The most admirable thing about the Mercedes-Benz GLE450 is that it seems to be very decent in the new car, whether it is an outing or attending formal settings. It is an absolute utility car! The seat adjustment is designed on both sides of the seat cushion, and it is equipped with 3 sets of memory functions. The waist support is on the front side of the seat cushion. The seats of the whole car are made of high-quality calfskin, which provides excellent comfort while maintaining quality.

The Mercedes-Benz GLE450 model is equipped with a 3.0T V6 turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 367 horsepower, a maximum torque speed of 500 (N.m), a maximum power of 270 (KW) and a maximum power speed of 5000-6000 (rpm). In terms of transmission, it will be fully replaced with Mercedes-Benz’s latest 9AT automatic transmission. Rich driver assistance systems and high-tech configurations, night vision systems, blind spot monitoring, automatic heating wiper systems, pedestrian detection braking systems, and anti-collision driver assistance systems are all available.

When waiting for a red light, its HOLD hold function is also very practical. Whether you step on the brake or not, the accelerator can be released to hold the function, so that you can also start according to the actual situation. Safety is also guaranteed. There is also an air suspension system, which is very hardcore. When flying above 140 km/h, the body will drop to -1 level. When driving at a speed of 40 km/h, the body will rise again. In S Sport driving mode, there will be a significant acceleration and push back. Off-road mode, it can also handle many of the same shapes.

Recently, on the 10th anniversary of Ele.me, Ele.me, which was put into Alibaba’s arms in April this year, has made full use of Alibaba’s funds and resources to launch a series of activities to accelerate business expansion and market capture. In fact, although the competition between Meituan and Ele.me originated from food delivery, the war has already spread to a broader local service business. On the one hand, Meituan Dianping, which is fully fledged and is about to go public, and on the other hand, Ele.me, which is connected with Alibaba’s system, who will be better?

Takeaway old things, Ali’s thoughts

According to the data of 17 years and the first half of 18 years, Meituan is a well-deserved leader in terms of transaction volume and user platform distribution. Even though Ele.me acquired Baidu takeaway in August last year, it is still inferior to Meituan, which has more than half of the market share. However, the takeaway market, which originally thought that the pattern had been set, has made a comeback with Ele.me’s defection to Ali Langyan. The takeaway business is the largest local life service entrance, which is not only Meituan’s main business but also the strategic support point for Ali’s layout of new retail. In fact, there has always been a shadow of Ali’s capital in Meituan’s initial financing, but Meituan was dissatisfied with Ali’s strength and control. Ali also lost patience with Meituan’s wavering between Tencent and Ali, and the two sides eventually parted ways. Now Alibaba is spearheading Ele.me, investing 3 billion yuan this summer to achieve the short-term goal of raising Ele.me’s market share to 50%. In the opinion of Ele.me CEO Wang Lei, Alibaba’s battle of living locally is "impossible to lose", which also means that Alibaba will invest huge funds and resources in Ele.me.

The ecological closure of the largest unicorn

In the "2017 China Unicorn Enterprise Ranking", Meituan Dianping ranked first in the e-commerce industry with a valuation of 30 billion US dollars. After Meituan Dianping officially submitted the prospectus to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on June 25 this year, its valuation was as high as 60 billion US dollars. Meituan Dianping has built a one-stop comprehensive life service platform to connect merchants and consumers, creating a "merchant + service + consumer" ecological closed loop. Its business coverage is beyond the reach of other competitors. According to Meituan Dianping’s prospectus, food delivery, in-store catering, and hotel tourism are the company’s main businesses, contributing more than 90% of its revenue and gross profit. At the same time, Meituan Dianping has launched new businesses such as fresh food, online car-hailing, and merchant services this year, continuously improving the local service system and building ecological barriers.

From a financial point of view, Meituan comments on the one hand, the rapid expansion of revenue, benefiting from the number of users, transaction frequency, flow rate, as well as new business development, brand influence and other factors, in 2017 the company’s gross merchandise volume and operating income reached 357 billion yuan and 33.93 billion yuan, revenue growth rate of 161.2% exceeded the gross merchandise volume growth rate of 51.0%. On the other hand, Meituan losses continue to narrow. According to the prospectus, from 2015 – 5.91 billion yuan narrowed to 2016 – 5.35 billion yuan, 2017 further narrowed to – 2.85 billion yuan, loss halved within 3 years. It is worth mentioning here that, like companies such as Xiaomi and Meitu listed in Hong Kong before, Meituan also has "non-operating losses" due to the increase in the fair value of "convertible redeemable preference shares" issued to shareholders in past financing. Therefore, after excluding the special accounting treatment related to the above, the "adjusted net loss" is more valuable.

Close combat, local service will eventually die?

Ali has been punching frequently since its acquisition of Ele.me, and it has accelerated its action after Meituan Dianping submitted its prospectus. Although Meituan Dianping stands behind the major shareholder Tencent, Tencent is more like an investor than a controller, and there is no deep cooperation or connection between the companies it invests in. Therefore, the current competition landscape is Meituan’s ecological closed-loop against the deep integration of Ali + Ele.me. The two sides have gone head-to-head in various fields, Meituan takeaway and Ele.me in the field of catering takeaway, Dianping and word-of-mouth in life information, in-store catering, and baby elephant fresh and Hema Fresh in fresh new retail. Through the timeline of the expansion of the local service business of both parties, it is not difficult to see that many of the new businesses are still small in size, and many of the cooperation and opening up have just begun, and the market share will still change.

2021 is the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan". Facing the topic of "adhering to innovation-driven development, accelerating the construction of a new development pattern of a modern industrial system, improving the quality of economic development, and maintaining sustainable and healthy economic development", how can new infrastructure service providers represented by cloud computing better play the role of technology platforms, empower industrial economic innovation, and promote regional sustainable development? How to improve enterprise efficiency, promote regional enterprise cooperation, and consolidate the elements of enterprise development and innovation? Hong Fangming, president of Huawei Cloud China, expressed his views on the above issues in an interview with China Business News.

From a manufacturing power to a "smart" manufacturing power

After a year of unparalleled changes in a century, how enterprises can cope with difficulties and how to transform and upgrade has become an urgent proposition to be solved. The state has launched new infrastructure, and enterprises have accelerated their digital transformation. In the past year, we have seen a phenomenon. Those companies that can actively embrace digitalization and actively invest in online have shown a good development trend as a whole. On the contrary, those companies that use traditional methods and do not change the offline model, whether in sales or supply chain, are facing huge challenges as a whole. As people say, the SARS epidemic in 2003 accelerated the development of the consumer Internet, and the sudden COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 will accelerate the process of enterprises going to the cloud.

Today, our country is transforming from a manufacturing power to a "smart" manufacturing power. Enterprises need to transform and upgrade through digital means and digital empowerment in all aspects, such as research and development, production and manufacturing, supply chain, marketing, and service. This is also the key to how to change the current situation and how to take the next step under the current economic development situation. By visiting more than 30 provinces and cities across the country in 2020, we found that the technology gathered on the cloud is bringing great changes to the industry and society.

Urban industrial clusters need to move from small, scattered, and low-energy to high, refined, and cutting-edge

The development stage and state of a local industrial cluster determine the active level of a region’s economic development, and also reflect the situation of people’s livelihood and employment. It can be said that the regional industrial cluster determines the development, people’s livelihood and employment of a region, which is a very important development indicator.

In a conference held by Huawei Cloud in early January 2020, the director of the Bureau of Industry and Information Technology of a certain place said that although the local area has been ranked among the top 100 industrial zones in the country, the internal and external challenges in the past year have made him deeply feel the difficulties of the entire manufacturing industry: the cost of factory labor and land has been rising, the export situation has changed, the industrial structure is in urgent need of reorganization, and entrepreneurs have also expressed their urgent desire for transformation and upgrading.

Due to the limitations of formation conditions, industrial clusters in our country mostly focus on traditional processing fields, developing in the form of small workshops, and lack scientific and technological innovation. At present, traditional industrial clusters are facing challenges such as increasing labor costs, increasing social costs, and shortage of talents. Relying on simple replication for scale expansion, the form of spreading big cakes cannot achieve sustainable development. Industrial clusters need to move from small, scattered, and low-energy to high, refined, and cutting-edge development. How to complement R & D, market, supply chain, and service capabilities, realize supply chain elongation, and integrate upstream and downstream supply chains to obtain higher profits is the core appeal of industrial cluster development.

It is undeniable that there are many excellent enterprises in our industrial clusters that are doing very well and have reached a very top position in the world, but there are still a considerable number of small and medium-sized enterprises that have not reached this level. To evaluate the active level of an economy, it is not to have a few large enterprises, but more importantly to look at the activity of thousands of small and medium-sized enterprises. It is a key response for the country to solve employment and improve the overall economic active level. And the cloud platform that brings together various technologies and ecosystems just provides the technical business means needed for change.

Moving from simple connections to deeply empowering

Huawei has amassed a wealth of experience in the field of electronic information manufacturing over the past 30 years, whether it is from supply chain research and development, marketing, service, or in the industry precipitation of technology and marketing capabilities, Huawei hopes to use the cloud to bring its accumulated experience to empower various industries, empower society, and realize the company’s vision of bringing the digital world into everyone, every family, and every organization to build a smart world connected to all things.

In the process of business expansion, Huawei Cloud has learned about the characteristics of China’s economy itself and the characteristics of industrial clusters, and put forward the concept of "industrial cloud". Based on cloud infrastructure, an urban industry empowering platform that integrates industrial ecological resources to provide technologies, solutions, and industrial practice services provides a core driving force for promoting the integration of urban production and number, industrial innovation and upgrading, and reshaping the new industrial pattern. In essence, the demand for informatization and digitalization in today’s economic development has given birth to the concept and model of industrial cloud. At the same time, industrial cloud also responds to the question of where and how to transform and upgrade the industry in the process of supply, marketing, and service.

Different from the industrial Internet, which focuses on connecting various data and production materials of enterprises, so as to provide enterprises with the kinetic energy for transformation and upgrading; in addition to the connection function, the industrial cloud also provides enterprises with industrial empowerment and rich offline services, including the best experience of the industry, while combining a variety of advanced technical means.

Manufacturing cannot be simply defined by the production process. R & D and sales are actually key links in serving the manufacturing industry. Only with an enterprise system that completes research, sales, supply, production, and service can it be a true modern manufacturing industry. However, born out of domestic manufacturing enterprises such as processing with incoming materials, it is urgent to transform to modern manufacturing. Take the United States as an example. The proportion of manufacturing in the United States is relatively low, but if you look at the entire GDP of the United States, you will find that a very large part of the industry serves the manufacturing industry. This kind of manufacturing service industry accounts for about 50% of the overall manufacturing industry. If our country wants to move from a manufacturing power to a smart manufacturing power, it must work hard on this. In the face of the unclear concept of China’s industrial upgrading, the current situation of "hard" and "soft" is not simply to provide a cold technology to solve, but also to empower, to have a team to serve the industry, to teach these original traditional manufacturing industries how to achieve the next jump.

Huawei’s own industry is relatively wide, from the original service to operators, to government and enterprises, and then to consumer BG, you can think of Huawei as a traditional manufacturing industry, a high-tech enterprise, and a retail enterprise. Therefore, Huawei Cloud has rich accumulation in the above fields, including technology, marketing, supply chain, service and other aspects. Huawei Cloud will export these capabilities through the form of industrial cloud to empower the industry, which is also the biggest value point and difference point of Huawei Cloud.

A small step for enterprises to go to the cloud, a major leap for industrial clusters

At present, Huawei Cloud has landed in more than 120 innovation centers and industrial cluster bases across the country, and has joined more than 300 partners including MES, CAD, supply chain management, production management, software suppliers, etc., to provide digital transformation services for 17,000 enterprises.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, an electronic information enterprise in Dongguan, based on Huawei Cloud Industrial Internet, the big data platform created by the platform FusionPlant helped it to achieve an orderly resumption of work and production, ensuring the occurrence of 0 epidemic cases. At the same time, the efficient and convenient management brought by the visualization of the big data platform has also solved the remote control problem that many foreign employees cannot resume work in many process production links, and manages the production quality control of the entire production line. This is what we think is a very typical use case of an enterprise.

Facing the characteristics of China’s industrial economy and the key nodes facing the industry, how can its next jump be realized? For each industry, where is the future going and where is the next jump? This is the most concerned issue in the upstream and downstream industrial chains of urban industrial clusters.

The automotive industry, ICT industry, medical apparatus and pharmaceutical industry are the three pillar industries of the global economy. In the automotive industry, Huawei Car BU proposes to help car companies "build and sell good cars", use its own capabilities in research and development, manufacturing, marketing, etc., to drive the development of the upstream and downstream industrial chain of intelligent networked vehicles, and do some exploration and innovation work around automobile companies to help car companies transform and upgrade from the traditional fuel vehicle industry to the electric vehicle industry; in the electronic information industry, which is facing the pressure from low-end to high-end, Huawei helps the electronic information industry to achieve the next leap through its own practice; in the materials and pharmaceutical industries, many studies currently rely on a lot of laboratory experimental work, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Huawei Cloud makes use of its vast computing and IOT capabilities, combined with previous research and development achievements, to enhance the entire process of drug and material research and development.

With the industrial cloud empowering transformation and upgrading, through the continuous progress of technology, the continuous development of industry, and the continuous improvement of partner capabilities, we will provide the kinetic energy for the industry to upgrade and leap, and consolidate the "black land" of the intelligent world. We must embrace talents and continue to move forward, drive Chinese enterprises to take a small step in the cloud, lead industrial upgrading, and realize a big step in the leap of China’s industrial clusters, and truly realize a leap in the industry!

Hu Ge responds to a new relationship

　 　 1905 movie network news On the morning of January 6, there were media reports of Hu Ge sharing a room with the rich second generation beautiful woman hotel, and the video was exposed, and the relationship between the two was exposed. Just when everyone thought Hu Ge would clarify the affair as usual, the Weibo post he sent in the afternoon used a suspected admission taste to default to the relationship, which surprised countless fans.

　　Tencent Technology News, not long ago, technology media reported that Google’s smartwatch operating system Android Wear may be renamed Wear OS. According to the latest news from foreign media, Google officially announced the news a few days ago.

　　According to the US technology news website AppleInsider, a Google product management director, Dennis Troper, announced in an official article that the operating system of the smartwatch will be renamed "Wear OS by Google".

　　This means that the Android Wear brand that has been in use for many years will be abandoned.

　　The executive said that the reason why Android was removed from the watch operating system was to make it a wearable device operating system for everyone.

　　The person in charge said that the technology and partners of Google’s smartwatch project are changing, including the corresponding consumers. He mentioned that one in three Android Wear device users is actually an Apple phone user.

　　He said that Google wants to use a brand new name to reflect the current technology, development vision, and all users of smartwatches.

　　The world’s smartphone operating system is mainly iOS Android and many Google products in the past included the word "Android". But in the cross-platform era, internet services and products are no longer limited by Android or iOS platforms. For example, many Android watch users are actually connected to their Apple phones or other devices.

　　Not long ago, Google changed the name of its mobile payment product from "Android Pay" to "Google Pay". Obviously, users of non-Android platforms can also use this payment service through the corresponding client side.

　　Android Wear is a branch operating system launched by Google based on the modification and customization of the Android operating system, mainly for smartwatch devices. The system was born in 2014.

　　It should be pointed out that while Google is still developing and maintaining the Android watch system, in fact, the global market for Android watches is getting smaller and smaller, and many manufacturers have given up on smartwatches.

　　At present, in the smartwatch market, Apple Watch has become almost synonymous with the industry, occupying almost all the market share. Apple Watch uses Apple’s self-developed watchOS operating system, which is mainly positioned for sports health monitoring, priced at more than $300.

　　A few years ago, Motorola Mobility, a subsidiary of Lenovo Group, announced that it would no longer develop new smartwatches, and the company adopted Android Wear.

　　Pebble, the pioneer of smartwatches, had gone out of business suddenly, and its self-developed operating system was transferred to Fitbit, a maker of sports bracelets.

　　The industry generally believes that smartwatches belong to a niche market, and it is difficult to become a product that everyone buys like smartphones and personal computers. A very small number of manufacturers such as Apple can survive, but it is not suitable for a large number of manufacturers to continue to expand the market.

　　Previously, many US technology media also pointed out that if the special case of Apple Watch is not included, the smartwatch market is actually "dead".

　　Many users say that smartwatches cannot provide killer apps that fit unique scenarios, manufacturers are basically copying the functions of smartphones, and smartwatches have poor battery life. After the "five minutes of popularity" of purchasing products, some consumers gave up wearing smartwatches. (Comprehensive/Chenxi)

2024 is almost halfway through, and NIO recently released its 2024 Quarter 1 earnings report and delivery data for May. At present, NIO’s overall market performance cannot be said to be much worse, but it is not particularly good.

First of all, NIO’s revenue declined slightly. The financial report shows that Quarter 1 revenue is 9.91 billion yuan, which is down 7.2% year-on-year compared with 10.676 billion yuan in the same period of 2023, and 42.1% month-on-month. At the same time, NIO’s vehicle gross margin fell from 11.9% in the fourth quarter of last year to 9.2%, and the loss further expanded to 5.185 billion yuan, an increase of 9.4% year-on-year. The situation is not good.

It is said that NIO has been burning money. In terms of R & D expenditure, NIO Quarter 1 invested 2.86 billion yuan, which narrowed a lot compared with 3.97 billion yuan in the fourth quarter of last year. It is already 2024, and some new car-making forces have turned losses into profits. NIO still has not been able to achieve profitability, which is obviously not conducive to development. Even if NIO still has 45.30 billion yuan in cash reserves, it is not a good way to burn money like this.

NIO’s sales performance is indeed tepid now. Quarter 1 delivered a total of 3,053 new cars, a decrease of 3.2% year-on-year and a decrease of 39.9% month-on-month. Compared with the previously expected target of 31,000 to 33,000 vehicles, it is still a little bit short. However, in late March, NIO made a little adjustment to Quarter 1’s delivery forecast, lowering it to about 30,000 vehicles, which is considered a "clever" target.

In fact, NIO’s recent sales performance is still a little improved, May delivery of 20,544 vehicles, in April delivered 15,620 new cars, all achieved year-on-year growth. According to the second quarter delivery guidance given by NIO, it is expected to deliver 54,000 to 56,000 vehicles, as long as the June delivery of 17,000 to 19,000 new cars, basically can achieve the goal.

However, NIO had previously set a goal of delivering 230,000 vehicles in 2024 with great ambition, and the reality did not seem to be so smooth. From January to May this year, a total of 66217 new cars were delivered, only 28.79% of the overall goal was completed. In the remaining half a year, it is not small to catch up with the remaining progress.

Next, I am afraid that NIO can only pin its hopes on Ledao Automobile. The existence value of this second brand of NIO is originally to take volume, and it can also relieve the pressure on NIO’s operation to a certain extent.
