In the dark of 996, is there a million possibilities in your life?

  Cctv news(Reporter Ren Jia, Sun Xiaoyuan, Di Chen, Liu Chen, Li Shanshan): The hot discussion about 996 has been going on for a week. However, whether it is involuntary or enthusiastic, everyone seems to have a question mark in their hearts. Is this life?

  When I meet like-minded, overtime is also "enjoyable"

  31-year-old male, operation director of Xiaoxin startup company

  "For a long time, my wife thought I was having an affair." Xiaoxin smiled awkwardly when he said that he had stayed in the company for half a month and never returned home.

  In 2018, Xiaoxin resigned from the management position of a large enterprise and chose an entrepreneurial company. The treatment really improved and he got the option, but he frankly chose to leave the original company because he wanted to give himself greater challenges. "In the past, the work can be said to be smooth and smooth, and I have never encountered any setbacks. Maybe it is more complete to feel the hardships."

  On the day of his resignation, he wrote on the social platform: I am most afraid of doing nothing in my life, and I also said that ordinary is commendable. A colleague left a message "Have courage!" Some people feel that "this behavior is too ‘ Abnormal condition ’ !”

  The first day of the new unit was a sleepless night. "Startups are like this. Many things are not formed. It takes a lot of energy to establish standards. What are the future goals? How can products impress users? There are too many things to explore. Fortunately, I met a boss with similar interests, even if I worked overtime all night, it was very ‘ Enjoying ’ 。”

  In Xiaoxin’s view, his daily work is often not 996, and 007 is also regular. "Three meals a day are almost all takeaways. After I came to my present unit, I gained 8 Jin, which turned out to be ‘ Overworking and fattening ’ It’s not a joke. "

  Xiaoxin can’t extricate herself from her new job. Until one day, his wife stood in front of him with a household registration book and a marriage certificate and said to him very calmly, divorce! His head felt awkward, and suddenly he found that he really hadn’t spent a long time with his family.

  Without his wife’s scolding, he began to recall that when the child was sick, his wife took the child to the hospital herself; His parents came to Beijing to play, and his wife arranged the whole process properly. He didn’t show up until his parents left Beijing. At home, when I want to hug my daughter, her daughter hides behind her wife … …

  Parent-child time and husband-wife time do not exist, only working hours exist. In the end, under Xiaoxin’s remorse, for the sake of the children, the wife made a compromise and chose to forgive.

  Last week, under Xiaoxin’s matchmaking, the company successfully won an investment. After a simple celebration, several "veteran" figures of the company have devoted themselves to their work.

  "People say that career and family can’t be taken care of at the same time. Maybe what I am pursuing at this stage is a sense of accomplishment in my career. That sense of gain has nothing to do with money."

  If it weren’t for the recent "996" work system, Xiaoxin hadn’t thought so deeply about the absence in family life in the past two years. "On the road to struggle, you really can’t just bow your head and pull the car."

  In a few days, it’s Xiaoxin’s daughter’s birthday. He said that she hoped that she would like the birthday gift prepared for her!

  I’m the monkey who won’t let go of the nut.

  Ayao video post-editor 32-year-old male

  Video post-editor, this is just his identity during the day.

  In 2018, Ayao typed almost 500,000 words, of which 350,000 words are being arranged by the publishing house, and will be printed in black and white in the middle of this year as the first "book" of his life. Most of the results of this book come from midnight.

  A year ago, Ayao left the company without leaving his post, and served in the original department as a technical consultant. After a busy day and returning home at night, no matter how tired he is, he must carry out his full-time career — — Writing.

  "I’m really tired", "I’m very tired" and "I’m so tired that I’m going to faint. You know, I dare not stop" … …

  During the interview, Ayao expressed his helplessness in his present life more than once, but it was only his helplessness. He could not protest with actions.

  Working overtime during the day, he volunteered. Because "there is no way to fight, you can’t survive here at all." Everyone is watching your performance. If you don’t work hard enough today, you may try to find a job there tomorrow! "

  He is willing to stay up late at night. Because he "doesn’t want to walk in the world for nothing, he always wants to do something and leave something meaningful and valuable." On a social platform, A Yao’s remark is "to bring hope to life".

  When he first came to Shanghai, the young man had six abdominal muscles and thick hair. Now hair loss has become a problem, and there is no muscle line. "In fact, compared with the rising wages and some skills, other losses are quite large, and there is not much happiness, and it is not really worth it."

  Although I often feel depressed, I don’t know how many times better than before.

  In the first three years after graduation, he couldn’t find a job, so he drifted to many places with the help of his friends. Rent a village in Guangzhou, you can’t see the light when you open the window, and you can touch the wall of the opposite building by sticking your hand out of the window. I failed to find a job again and again, I couldn’t find a real job, and I even trembled with fear when I saw the job-hunting website … … A Yao deeply remembers that he doesn’t want to wake up every day when it is serious. Dawn is what he fears most. He especially looks forward to the arrival of every night, which can alleviate the guilt of "doing nothing".

  Now in Shanghai, Ayao specially rented a room facing south, where the sun can shine in. It is a great comfort to have a sunny room in rainy and humid Shanghai. But he still likes the night, and the cause of struggle in the dark.

  "You can be ordinary and ordinary, and then do a lot of things that you think are meaningful. Your value may be particularly important and precious to some people. "

  He doesn’t think that everyone should influence the world and refuse "moral kidnapping", "successful kidnapping" and "comfortable kidnapping".

  But when asked, will you give up your current lifestyle? A Yao said: I want to, but I can’t let go now.

  He told a story to explain this feeling: when the ancients caught a monkey, they would put some small nuts in the cage, and the monkey put his hand in to catch the nut. After he caught the nut, he couldn’t pull it out with his fist. Until the hunter came, he tried to grab the nut and escape.

  "I am the monkey, do you understand? But I believe that one day, I will scatter those nuts and don’t want them. I really hope that I can put everything down one day, put aside all worldly eyes, and do something to fulfill myself. "

  Flag in 2019: Weight reduced from 195 to 160.

  Department Manager of Laojiang Sales Company is 33 years old.

  Opening the double-layer security door, the creaking sound of opening the door did not wake the sleeping wife and children in the bedroom, and the light in the living room was still on, and the hour hand pointed to 12 o’clock. Put on pajamas and kiss the sleeping little guy. What makes Lao Jiang happy is that his son has started to get close to him recently and will take the initiative to throw himself on him and call out "Dad"!

  Seven years ago, Lao Jiang came to Beijing to work hard. Once Xiao Bai in the workplace, he is now a department manager in charge of three districts and more than 1,000 people. For more than seven years, he jumped six levels: "If you don’t fight like this, where can you get a room?" Where did you come from? "

  "Parents give the background, and it is Jiangshan who works hard." No house, no car, no Beijing hukou. When I first came to Beijing, Lao Jiang had only 2,000 yuan in his pocket, and the first job he found was 6,000 yuan before tax. He rented it in Changying, which is 2 hours’ drive from the company. "At that time, the subway on Line 6 had not been extended eastward, and it was necessary to change buses."

  Because he lives far away, Lao Jiang often goes out at 7 o’clock in the morning. "It’s good to get home at 21 o’clock. If you catch up with entertainment, you have to go to 11 o’clock in the evening." This work intensity, Lao Jiang has not changed since he entered the business. When catching up with the business node, "I will carry it with my colleagues, and when I am sleepy, I will take a nap in the company for a while."

  "It’s strange to see him at home at 7 pm!" In the eyes of his wife, Lao Jiang is a workaholic. When their first child was born, Lao Jiang rarely took paternity leave for half a month. "The annual leave is often called back by the leader after less than a week, and sometimes I feel bored when I take a break."

  "I may be more than 996, and 997 is also common!" Meeting, docking customers and coaching team … … "The competition in our line is also fierce. When you fall down, someone in the company will take your place soon, and all your efforts and efforts will soon be forgotten."

  Although Lao Jiang’s own job is 996, he does not approve of the full implementation of this working method. "It’s too much for the body!"

  Often stay up late, eat irregularly, drink and socialize … … Long-term irregular living habits have made ginger in his early 30 s suffer from high blood pressure. "The stomach is not good, and I can’t eat anything with heavy taste and strong irritation. I ate a big bone yesterday, but I feel a little uncomfortable today."

  In the flag of Ginger in 2019, "Keep exercising twice a week and reduce your weight from 195 to 160" ranked second, while the last time you went to the gym "was already a month ago!" After coming back from a business trip in Shanghai, Lao Jiang must go to exercise. "The body is the capital, and work hard. Without the body, everything is zero!"

  There is no "free will" in the adult world.

  Qiao Yan structural designer, 33-year-old male

  After fighting overtime for more than a year, he finally said goodbye to the past.

  Qiao Yan, who is in his early thirties, bends his back into a big "C" when he sits down. His height of 1.8 meters, his weight of nearly 200 Jin, his slender limbs and bulging beer belly constitute his main figure.

  Occasionally, when he looks in the mirror, he will sigh, "Why he is becoming more and more like a giant ‘ Spider ’ ?” But what really worries him is the growing white hair and the sudden shortness of breath one morning and the experience of blackness in front of his eyes.

  Drawing, revising, reviewing, revising, reviewing, revising, reviewing … … The repeated words almost summed up his work status in the past year. "Some (Party A) give suggestions for revision that night, and they will be needed early the next morning. If several projects are carried out at the same time, they will have to stay up all night."

  In the "tug-of-war" in which Party A requires "good quality, low cost and high speed" and Party B can only guarantee two conditions at most, overtime work without fixed points has become a common occurrence.

  Most people work overtime and take a taxi home after nine o’clock, because they are reimbursed for taxi fares. But there are also people like Qiao Yan who live directly in the office at night in order to save the round-trip time on the road.

  "Tea, coffee and instant noodles are standard. When you are sleepy in the middle of the night, go to the bathroom to have a simple wash and lie on the sofa or folding bed for several hours. When I wake up in the morning, there are often more than a dozen men lying in the office, snoring one after another, and the smell can be imagined. "

  I changed my job a year ago to be closer to home, but I didn’t expect that "once I entered the unit, my family was like a passerby". It’s normal not to go home for a week.

  "In fact, the efficiency of overtime work is not high, especially working overtime all night, which is dizzy and prone to mistakes. If something really goes wrong, the responsibility can only be attributed to yourself. " Many times, he especially wanted to get angry and scold "I quit", but he finally endured it.

  There is not much "follow one’s inclinations" in the adult world. Based on his unfinished projects and his basic sense of responsibility for his work, he handed in his resignation letter on the last working day before the Spring Festival.

  Qiao Yan’s new job, environment and treatment are not bad. Although I will also work overtime, I don’t need 996 or 007, so I can spend weekends with my family.

  "Next, I plan to set up a fitness card and get back six abdominal muscles."

  Select one tenth

  Xilin Travel Food Writer 80-year-old Female

  In 2013, Xilin resigned and began to try professional travel. Before that, she worked as a media director in the marketing department of a fashion group. Her job was to promote large-scale activities, and she had to face a lot of media and stars, so her work was very intense. "On one occasion, I stared at a film broadcast on TV and slept for less than 8 hours in 3 days."

  Because of her work, she met a group of photographers and went to Berlin, Prague and Budapest together. From then on, she became interested in traveling and decided to quit her job and become a professional traveler.

  1-2 months before each trip, Xilin began to book air tickets, hotels or homestays, find information, design itineraries and routes, and organize her luggage.

  Traveling looks pleasant, but it’s not easy at all. In order to take a good-looking photo, Xilin often has to get up early and wait for the most beautiful light. Take photos before eating, especially Japanese food. Panoramic view, local view, angle and light should be taken into account, and aesthetic feeling should be presented. After a day’s trip, I have to deal with photo writing and post it on the media platform. Every trip usually takes 1-2,000 photos, or even more. She needs to select about one-tenth of these photos, cutting, coloring and jigsaw puzzles, and retouching alone will take up a lot of time.

  In addition, there are many uncontrollable factors in the journey. "I went to New Zealand once before, and there was a cameraman with me. Because I was too focused on shooting, I didn’t notice that there was a lake behind me. I accidentally fell into the lake and was later taken to wash my stomach."

  In 2013, Xilin visited Taiwan Province for the first time and was deeply impressed. After that, I slowly wanted to write a book about small shops in Taipei, so I went to Taipei four times, staying for about 15 days each time, and strolling around the small shops. Three years later, her first book, "Taiwan Province Good Things Search Taipei Life Design Shop", was published.

  In 2016, my daughter was born. After having children, Xilin’s pace of traveling slowed down, but her love of playing did not change. Her daughter traveled with her in four months.

  "Traveling with children is actually more tiring." Once in Japan, my daughter was over 1 year old. Xilin was reading a navigation map with her mobile phone, and her daughter said she wanted to help her with her mobile phone. As a result, my daughter took the phone and threw it directly on the ground. At that time, it was still on a bridge, and the phone almost fell into the river.

  Before the children went to kindergarten, Xilin felt that she was "007" and had a full schedule all day. She often had to write articles and process photos between taking care of the children or at night. "Most of the manuscripts are written at night. After the children go to bed at ten o’clock, I sometimes write at two or three o’clock, get up early the next morning, prepare breakfast, and sleep for almost four or five hours."

  After the children went to kindergarten, her rhythm changed to 7: 00 a.m. to 10: 00 p.m., sending them to kindergarten in the morning, cleaning up the room and working after coming back, picking up the children from school at 3: 00 p.m., playing with them, cooking and falling asleep. With some time of her own, she is still teaching herself Japanese.

  "For the life of 996, I have nothing to say. Living in a city like Beijing will not be too easy. Whether you are working or working part-time like me, you will be under pressure. The key is to look at your own choices and persistence. "

  At the request of the interviewee, Xiaoxin, Ayao, Lao Jiang and Qiao Yan are pseudonyms.

Industry evaluation of the endless Long March: ingenious and well-made

one

  CCTV News:After the program "Endless Long March" was broadcast, not only did the audience respond strongly, but it was also praised by many industry experts. They think that The Endless Long March is well-made and informative, and they also analyze the winning points of the Endless Long March from the aspects of topic selection, production method and communication effect.

  Professor Yin Hong, School of Journalism and Communication, Tsinghua University: Learning from an old friend never forgets a new heart.

  The Long March is an epoch-making event in the history of modern China. With interviews and pursuits, The Endless Long March not only recounts the past, but also embodies the indomitable spirit of Chinese heroes and heroes in their pursuit of a democratic and free new China with national independence, people’s liberation and a prosperous country. The form of historical documentary makes this thematic narrative have a sense of history, and produces the communication effect of reviewing the old and learning the new, and never forgetting the original heart.

  Professor He Suliu, Deputy Minister of Journalism and Communication, Communication University of China: The Grand Narrative of Individual Life.

  The Long March can be said to be the ultimate test of existence full of magical colors. From the topic selection, The Endless Long March is full of story and vitality. From the point of expression, it combines the essence of TV news and documentaries, cuts in from a small incision, and restores memories from the perspective of the ordinary Red Army. The Unknown Hero shows the mysterious radio communication troops, The Young Red Army shows the transformation of young Red Army soldiers, and The Woman Hero tells the story of the female Red Army, bearing the grand narrative of the Long March with individual life experiences. But the length of 20 minutes breaks the limitation of traditional documentary, which is more suitable to spread in the new media environment.

  Beijing Normal University School of Journalism and Communication ExecutiveProfessor Yu Guoming, Dean: Appeal to Emotion and People’s Will

  The Long March is a miracle in the history of human civilization, which contains rich meanings, and the meanings are different in different periods and different moods, and this endless Long March just shows this richness and surpasses the achievements of real achievements. Especially in the specific background of social transformation, The Endless Long March mobilizes audio-visual language, shows the relationship resources and emotional resources between communist party and the people with details such as military songs and military discipline, shows the sense of identity generated by the warmth of the people, reveals the periodic law of social history, and shows the aspirations of the people in power in communist party. The application of these techniques, such as the repetition of the original song and scene simulation, not only creates a sense of presence and immersion, but also mobilizes emotional resources and connects the audience’s cognition. The highest state of audio-visual art is to appeal to emotion and promote narrative with emotional power.

  Professor Sun Zhenhu, Director of Undergraduate Teaching Office, Department of Journalism and Communication, China Communication University: Unique Exploration.

  The 12-episode special program "Endless Long March" produced by the News Review Department was broadcast in prime time on the news channel from October 8 to 19. This program has several innovations and is worth popularizing and learning.

  First, the news language documentary creation

  This program was broadcast on news channel and Focus Interview. Because of the time limit and channel characteristics, the program was created as a documentary in news language. The combination of these two types of programs makes the program not only have a short, flat and fast high-rhythm narrative, but also keep the fullness of the characters’ personality and the temperature of narrative, and can spread a large amount of information in a short time, with a degree of relaxation and rigorous structure. This production method is also very consistent with the characteristics of new media video communication, so it has also received more than 600,000 clicks every day in the communication of new media, which can be said to be a good attempt of cross-screen communication. This is also based on the creator’s exploration of combining news language with documentary creation.

  Second, the fieldwork in the sense of sociology and history

  Historical documentaries often have historical value, and most of them are interested in collecting unpublished historical materials, but this program has made new explorations in this respect. First of all, the statement of the existing historical materials in the program is more about the way of independent investigation, rather than what others say, and it is hoped that the witnesses or witnesses of the incident can show up, so the program group conducted a large-scale interview with the old Red Army as much as possible. This is not only a rescue excavation of historical materials, but also a discussion on the way of creation with both sociological and historical methods. It should be a large-scale social investigation, which is an interdisciplinary creative attempt and worth popularizing.

  Third, the image expression with great sense of the times

  It is easy for the theme of historical documents to be old-fashioned, regular and lacking in new ideas in image expression. Based on contemporary imaging technology, this film can combine three-dimensional animation, scene reproduction, drone shooting and other creative methods, so that the image has a film-like fine picture quality in detail expression, and has a sense of the times in drone aerial photography in scene shooting, thus expressing the image’s sense of the times very fully, with great appeal and spirit of the times, and avoiding the shortcomings of historical documents, such as "full content and outdated image".

  Zhou Dongyuan, deputy editor-in-chief of the former New Film Production Center: Really simple and moving people with emotion.

  The 12-episode series "Endless Long March" has a clear background and rich and touching details. The whole story-telling technique was adopted, which moved the audience with full feelings. Especially for the younger generation, these stories are unheard of and shocking. The series of programs subtly moisten people’s hearts with the vivid deeds of the Long March heroes and the eternal spirit of the Long March. The real and simple narrative communication effect is far better than the empty "high-level" tone!

-

  Professor Zhou Xiaopu, School of Journalism, Renmin University of China: Well-made and informative.

  Endless Long March strives to find new materials and new perspectives to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Long March. The film replaces slogan-style propaganda with shocking stories, trying to find the fit between history and reality, and showing the revolutionary spirit of Red Army soldiers who are United for their ideals and are not afraid of sacrifice. The program corresponds the map diaries in the newly released Diary of the Long March to the real environment, and interviews many old Red Army men with an average age of over 95, focusing on their photos in the Long March and telling the stories in the photos. This shows that the director has done a lot of research work and is not satisfied with the existing routine stories. It shows that the works are written in depth, carefully produced and the whole film is rich in information.

Starting Xiaomi Ecological Chain: 8 years of investment of 500+, nearly 30 successful listings, and many queued IPOs.

Text |VCPE Reference Li Zixuan Zhou Jianyu

Editor | Li Youran

The tree attracts the wind, and the ecological chain laid out by Xiaomi for many years is controversial.

Recently, there are rumors in the market that the eco-IPO policy represented by Xiaomi has changed significantly. "At present, the projects involving Xiaomi’s industrial chain under review in science and technology innovation board and GEM have been investigated, and the IPO policy concerning Xiaomi’s industrial chain is limited."

In response, the CSRC responded on March 29th, saying, "I will pay attention to some articles about the significant changes in the IPO policy of Xiaomi’s industrial chain from the media. In this regard, we made it clear that we did not introduce IPO restrictive policies for enterprises related to Xiaomi industrial chain, nor did we carry out special investigations. "

Subsequently, Xiaomi also responded to this matter in its official Weibo, saying that "recently, a large number of distorted, fabricated and unfounded false rumors have been published by the media against our eco-chain and related investment business", and said that a lawsuit has been filed against it and a trial will be held in the near future.

Xiaomi has carefully laid out the ecological chain for eight years. Is the IPO of related companies blocked because of Xiaomi? Will the ecological chain layout touch the regulatory red line?

VCPE Reference (ID:vcpecankao) tries to find the answer through Xiaomi’s investment layout, its impact on the invested enterprises and the opinions of professionals.

01 We have invested more than 500 companies in 8 years, and our manufacturing is a good idea.

Xiaomi has been laid out for 8 years, and with the business adjustment in each period, a huge industrial ecological chain has been built.

At the end of 2013, Xiaomi started the "Eco-chain Investment Plan". According to the enterprise investigation, Xiaomi carries out ecological chain layout through three platforms, one of which is direct investment through Xiaomi and its Hanxing Venture Capital Co., Ltd.; The second is indirect investment through two private equity institutions wholly owned by Xiaomi-Tianjin Jinxing Venture Capital Co., Ltd. and Xiaomi Private Equity Fund Management Co., Ltd.; Thirdly, the investment is made through Xiaomi Changjiang Industrial Fund jointly initiated by Xiaomi and Hubei Changjiang Economic Belt Industrial Guidance Fund Partnership (Limited Partnership).

As for Shunwei Capital, which is often mentioned by the outside world, it is more like a financial return-oriented institution established by Lei Jun for his angel investment dream. Only when encountering a project with strategic value, the investment department of Xiaomi Group will join hands with Shun.

It is worth noting that Xiaomi’s different investment platforms have different emphases, which also shows that Xiaomi will adjust the investment layout according to business expansion in different periods.

In the early days, Xiaomi’s strategy focused on using mobile phones as Internet terminals to connect the needs of all parties. From this, we can see that the most invested areas at that time were cultural media, hardware and enterprise services.

Around 2013, Lei Jun saw the popularity of intelligent hardware, and intelligent life products became its more concerned subdivision track, such as Roborock (688169.SH), a sweeping robot manufacturer, and Zimi, an intelligent hardware manufacturer acquired by Xiaomi.

Since then, Xiaomi has invested in companies such as Iqiyi (IQ.US), Fun Headline (QTT.US) and Jinshan Cloud (KC.US) in cultural media and corporate services.

Hundreds of rivers end up in the sea, and several major investment sectors complement each other. Unconsciously, Xiaomi has woven a large and comprehensive investment ecological network.

According to the statistics of business cards, Xiaomi has made a total of 521 investments, involving 17 fields. Among them, the top three investment times were manufacturing, hardware and cultural media, with 94, 76 and 59 investment events respectively, accounting for about 18%, 15% and 11%.

Among them, in addition to the investment department of Xiaomi Group, the Xiaomi Changjiang Industrial Fund has the highest frequency at present, with a total of 123 investments in five years, mainly focusing on semiconductor, hard technology and other related fields, such as Weilan New Energy, a solid-state lithium battery developer, and Zonghui Xinguang, a photoelectric semiconductor developer, Sagitar Juchuang, a multi-line laser radar developer, and Black Sesame Intelligent, an autonomous driving computing chip.

In addition, Xiaomi Private Equity Fund, which was established less than one year ago, contributed 10 investments. With Xiaomi’s ambition to build a car, it invested in automobile-related enterprises such as Zhilu chilye, a new energy vehicle parts provider, Aitek Automotive Electronics, a high-end controller chip developer, Qixin Micro Semiconductor, and Internet of Things technology-related enterprises such as Youzhilian Technology and Jiangyan Intelligent.

However, as an Internet company with mobile phone, intelligent hardware and IoT platform as its core, Xiaomi’s investment field is slightly extensive, but its layout is still perpendicular to its main business field.

In terms of investment rounds, Xiaomi entered the market earlier, mostly in Angel Round, A Round and B Round, with 121, 86 and 61 investment times respectively, accounting for 23%, 17% and 12%. This may be related to "Lei Jun has a hobby of angel investment".

In general, Xiaomi’s seemingly complicated investment ecological chain actually has a clear strategic layout. Xiaomi has its own logic on how to divide the control and investment details in the main line.

02Nearly 30 companies went public, and many companies entered the countdown to listing.

According to incomplete statistics, at least 30 of the eco-chain enterprises invested by Xiaomi have successfully listed, and most of their businesses are distributed in the fields of intelligent hardware and advanced manufacturing, and a few are financial and entertainment companies, which are coordinated with the business layout of Xiaomi’s hardware, finance and Internet.

However, the stock prices of these companies after listing show a picture of ice and fire at home and abroad.

Perhaps influenced by geopolitics, listed companies in US and Hong Kong stocks have experienced different degrees of decline. As of the close of March 31st, the share price of ZEPP.US was 2.87 USD/share. When it was first listed, its issue price was 11 USD/share. VIOT.US also dropped from the issue price of $9/share to $1.85/share; PINTEC titanium (PT.US) even dropped from the issue price of $11.88/share to $0.59/share.

The poor stock price performance of listed companies in the ecological chain has also affected Xiaomi’s finance.

Previously, science and technology innovation board Daily quoted Luo Pan, a teacher in the financial field, as saying, "In recent years, the market value has been sharply adjusted back, which has seriously affected the fair value and further reduced the profit of Xiaomi".

According to Xiaomi’s latest financial report, by the end of 2021, Xiaomi had invested 390 foreign companies, while at the end of 2020, this figure was still 310, and at the end of 2019, it was 290. Despite the increasing number of foreign investments, the fair value of Xiaomi Group’s investment at fair value through profit or loss in 2021 was 8.132 billion yuan, a decrease of 38.3% compared with 13.2 billion yuan in 2020.

However, most companies listed in China have gratifying market performance. For example, as of the close of March 31st, the share price of No.9 Robot (689009.SH) doubled after its listing in science and technology innovation board, from the issue price of 18.94 yuan/share to 44.10 yuan/share; Lihexing (301013.SZ), listed on the Growth Enterprise Market, had an issue price of 8.72 yuan/share at the time of listing, and now it has risen to 18.9 yuan/share.

In addition, a number of Xiaomi Eco-chain companies are queuing up for IPOs in science and technology innovation board and Growth Enterprise Market, and many of them are only a short walk away from listing.

Weijie Chuangxin (688153.SH) has officially launched science and technology innovation board IPO subscription; The initial inquiry time of Fengxiu Technology (688279.SH) is April 6th.

In addition, Sitway (Shanghai) Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. also entered the countdown to listing. On March 29th, official website, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, approved that it would register the initial public offering of shares with Tewei science and technology innovation board in accordance with legal procedures.

Among the companies that have not yet been listed, there are also many star companies that Weilan New Energy, Weizhao Semiconductor, Aibi Intelligent, and Newlink are betting on.

Among them, Weilan New Energy, a developer of solid-state lithium batteries, has frequently received hundreds of millions of large-scale financing in recent years. The investors behind it include well-known enterprises such as Huawei, Weilai and Geely, and the latest valuation has reached 15 billion yuan. In addition, after the completion of the C round of financing in September last year, the valuation of Black Sesame Intelligence also reached nearly 2 billion US dollars (about 12.7 billion yuan). Newlink, an energy digital open platform, reported the news of listing in Hong Kong at the beginning of the year.

03How to hedge the layout ecological chain?

By combing the IPO situation of enterprises in the Xiaomi ecological chain, VCPE Reference (ID:vcpecankao) found that since 2018, companies have succeeded in IPO almost every year, but there are also cases where the listing is not so smooth.

Fun Sleep Technology passed the IPO review in 2021 and submitted for registration, and was inquired twice by the CSRC at the end of 2021 and the end of January 2022 respectively.

In an inquiry letter, the CSRC asked Fun Sleep Technology to explain "the reason why Xiaomi has always been the main sales channel, and the efforts to expand third-party online platforms and unrelated sales channels are relatively small, and whether there are related obstacles".

Subsequently, the CSRC sent a second inquiry, pointing out that "the company takes Xiaomi e-commerce platform as its main sales channel", asking the issuer to explain "whether there are any special treatment or preferential treatment in Xiaomi platform sales, promotion, rebate, etc." and it is necessary to "compare and analyze whether there are differences in the sales policies of the company on the main e-commerce sales platforms".

Then, is [eco-chain company terminating IPO] really related to [Xiaomi’s large-scale layout of eco-chain]?

Industry insiders told VCPE Reference (ID:vcpecankao), "The core of the’ independence’ problem in this case lies in the’ big customer’, that is, whether the order number of Xiaomi, a big customer, accounts for too much in the total transaction volume of the IPO reporting company. Faced with the question of’ independence’, the company should explain clearly the rationality of excessive customer concentration, the sustainability of the transaction and its own hematopoietic capacity. "

Another senior investment banker, Wang Jiyue, told VCPE Reference (ID:vcpecankao) that "the failure of IPO was caused by Xiaomi" was just the rhetoric of the defendant media.

In this case, under what circumstances will large companies cause the IPO of eco-chain related companies to be blocked?

Wang Jiyue believes that the crux of the problem lies in "whether the business volume brought by industrial linkage is sustainable, whether it is only to help the listing to rush performance, and how much impact it has on the industry." If before the IPO, the enterprise can fully disclose the financial data, put the risk warning in place and sort out the solutions clearly, this will not necessarily become a problem. 」

Song Qinghui, a famous economist, told VCPE Reference (ID:vcpecankao) that at the external public opinion level, as long as there is no major public opinion, it will generally not cause the IPO of Xiaomi Eco-chain related companies to be blocked; If the public opinion is out of control, it will not only affect IPO pricing, meeting and other procedures, but even lead to IPO "abortion."

With the fermentation of public opinion, there are rumors in the market that Xiaomi will touch the red line of antitrust.

In this regard, Wang Jiyue believes that "whether it violates the Anti-Monopoly Law depends on whether the core enterprises that lay out the ecological chain have a dominant market position. Xiaomi’s ecological chain layout is only an investment, not a holding type, and it is not exclusive, so it generally does not involve the Anti-Monopoly Law".

As for the "disorderly expansion" that makes people talk about it, Song Qinghui said: "The disorderly expansion of capital means that capital alienation makes capital deviate from its established track, causing great risks to economic and social levels and even endangering the stability of the overall situation."

Wang Jiyue believes that "the layout of Xiaomi ecological chain belongs to normal industrial linkage".

Finally, Song Qinghui emphasized that "the mass reaction triggered by one incident is actually revealing the hidden truth of society, which is worth pondering. The reason why Xiaomi sued a media for spreading rumors that Xiaomi’s eco-chain enterprises are restricted by IPO policy is mainly because the disorderly expansion of capital in recent years has endangered national security and the bottom of people’s lives. If it is not guided and regulated, it will definitely impact the economic and social development order, such as the development space of small and medium-sized enterprises being compressed and squeezed out.

Internet insurance "sinks claims offline": Water Drop Insurance opens an offline joint compensation pilot in Beijing.

According to the Insight Report of Insurance Market Segments released by the User Research Center of Shuidrip Insurance, more than half of users are willing to buy all insurance products on the Internet platform, and "claim", "product" and "brand" are the three most important aspects for users. This processing compensation includes "the authenticity of claims" and "claims service".

Some interviewed users said: "It is very convenient to buy insurance online and the communication is very efficient. However, in case of complicated situations when making claims, I still hope to have professional and reliable guidance, and it is better to take a trip offline. "

In order to solve the pain points of users’ claims, Didi Bao has continuously optimized its own assistance claims system. In September this year, it launched the "Water Drop Assistance Compensation" to comprehensively upgrade the compensation assistance service, helping users to compensate quickly and let users feel at ease.

It is worth noting that, in order to further enable users to have a better claim experience, the pilot project of offline assistance claims was officially launched in November this year, and the first city was selected in Beijing. At present, the first user who used the offline compensation service has received the claim payment, and a number of compensation cases are being promoted.

Get through the last mile of the compensation, and the water drop will help the compensation to expand the service to the offline.

In September this year, Didi went online to help compensate, and the eight co-compensation services were comprehensively upgraded. The platform assisted the comprehensive coverage of claims services-1) helping to intelligently summarize information; 2) help the initial judgment of responsibility; 3) help to speed up the aging; 4) help the elderly; 5) help to deal with disputes; 6) Help protect rights reasonably; 7) help risk review; 8) Help to customize on demand. In addition, the four tools of "Claims Help Card, Hospital Help Check, Claims Data Manager, and Help the Old to Pay Claims" have been launched to enhance the self-service claims experience for users.

According to the person in charge of the water drop compensation, after the online water drop compensation on the platform, the user experience has been greatly improved. Some users feedback that "these tools and services have enabled them to learn a lot about claims, and they are no longer unfamiliar with claims, and the efficiency of claims has also improved".

At the same time, the platform also found that some users are affected by various factors and have a strong demand for offline compensation. Most of these users are "elderly people, people who are lack of energy after illness and danger, and people who can’t understand the rules of applying for claims and can’t complete data collection for various reasons" and so on.

In order to get through the "last mile" of co-compensation, the pilot project of offline assistance for compensation was launched, and the first city was selected in Beijing.

The person in charge of the water drop help compensation said: "We cooperated with the company’s offline broker team to sink the claims offline, and provided online and offline linkage assistance claims service for users who have the demand for offline compensation services and the initial judgment of the case meets the pre-audit standards of insurance companies. The first pilot city is located in Beijing. Offline compensation is an important service for water droplets to help pay compensation in the next 2-3 years. In 2023, our offline compensation service will gradually expand to Wuhan, Shenzhen, Xi’ an and other cities. "

Implement "online? Offline linkage mode, offline compensation makes users more "specific" about the platform.

The phrase "claims are difficult and slow" cannot fully summarize the anxiety and helplessness of users when making claims. In this regard, Mr. Wang who lives in Beijing has a deep understanding.

Mr. Wang had an unfortunate cerebral infarction in 2021. After being rescued, he remembered that he had an insurance policy and contacted the insurance company with a try attitude. However, due to the serious illness at that time, the treatment also made him exhausted, and it was impossible to collect the claim data, so the claim was put on hold. When Shuidibao paid a return visit to users this year, Mr. Wang mentioned that "he had a cerebral infarction last year, but he didn’t know how to make a claim, so he didn’t pay for it." The returning visitor of Shuidibao immediately transferred Mr. Wang to the claims department for assistance.

Xiao Gao, a compensation consultant for Shuidi Gang, initially judged that Mr. Wang met the compensation rules according to the insurance policy and the information he had. He contacted Xiao Zheng, an offline agent in Beijing, and synchronized the sorted list of claims to Xiao Zheng. After Xiao Zheng visited Mr. Wang’s home, he found that Mr. Wang’s medical record was missing, and the payment bill was mixed with various payment receipts of other family members, which could not meet the requirements of this application. Then, Xiao Zheng accompanied Mr. Wang to the "beijing jishuitan hospital" where he went to see a doctor at that time, ran to many departments, printed all the information needed for claim settlement and sent it back to Xiao Gao. Xiao Gao initially judged that the information was complete. After communicating with Mr. Wang through Xiao Zheng, he filled in the information on behalf of Mr. Wang and completed the online report.

During the waiting period after submitting the information, Xiao Zheng visited Mr. Wang on behalf of Shuidi Bangbang to explain the related matters of claim settlement. Mr. Wang has no social security, and if the result is that he can compensate, he will also pay 60% of the compensation after deducting the deductible according to the contract. This makes Mr. Wang know fairly well. Due to the professional and sufficient preparatory work, the insurance company quickly started the investigation and review process. On November 8, Mr. Wang received a notice of closing the case and was awarded 95,000 yuan. At this point, Xiao Zheng made an interpretation of the claim report for Mr. Wang.

After receiving the claim payment, Mr. Wang customized a banner to give it to Shuidi to help pay for it in order to express his gratitude. Mr. Wang said: "Many people are prone to’ confusion’ in claims settlement. I am very grateful to the water droplets for helping me compensate and helping me solve my difficulties with practical actions! "

(Legend: Mr. Wang and the agent under the drip insurance line)

The person in charge of the water drop help compensation said: "For users, opening the offline compensation service can better help them complete the claim application and solve the claim problem. For the platform, online and offline linkage compensation can make users’ perception of the Internet insurance brokerage platform more concrete, thus promoting users to establish a long-term trust relationship with us. In insurance services, claims service is a very important part. Water droplets will continue to optimize the co-compensation service system and strive to give users a better claim experience! "

Ten Customs of Lantern Festival "Network China Festival Lantern Festival"

As the saying goes, "Lantern Festival is held on the fifteenth day of the first month". As another major traditional folk festival after the Spring Festival, the main theme of the Lantern Festival holiday atmosphere is the word "noisy".

Lantern Festival viewing began in the period of Emperor Han Ming in the East. When Emperor Wen was in the Han Dynasty, the government ordered the 15th day of the first month to be officially designated as the Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival in the Han Dynasty lasted for one day, which became three days in the Tang Dynasty and five days in the Song Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, the lights were lit from the eighth day until the night of the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, for ten days. In the Qing dynasty, the festival was shortened to four or five days.

During the Lantern Festival, festivals and customs all over the country are colorful and numerous. Here are 10 famous ones:


First, walk on stilts

Walking on stilts is a very old folk performance, which appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period. On the Lantern Festival, this kind of folk activity of walking on stilts is popular in many places. Stilts are usually made of wood. Make a support point in the planed wooden stick to put your feet, and then tie them to your legs with ropes. Performers can not only walk freely on stilts, but also do various difficult movements such as splitting forks, jumping on benches, dancing yangko, dancing knives and making guns.

Second, the lion dance

Lion dance is an excellent folk art in China. During the Lantern Festival or other assembly ceremonies, the folk will entertain by dancing lions. This custom originated in the Three Kingdoms period and was popular in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It has a history of more than 1000 years.

picture

Third, the flower viewing lamp

The custom of viewing lanterns on the Lantern Festival originated from the period of Emperor Han Ming. During the Yongping period, Emperor Hanming strongly advocated Buddhism and ordered "burning lamps for Buddha" in palaces and temples on the fifteenth night of the first month. Later, the custom of putting lights on Lantern Festival spread to the people in the court. Every time during the Lantern Festival, no matter the gentry or civilians, every household will hang lanterns and the streets will be brightly lit.

Fourth, playing dragon lanterns

Playing dragon lanterns, also known as "dragon dancing", has a history of more than two thousand years. Playing with dragon lanterns originated from people’s worship of dragons. In ancient times, people prayed for the blessing of dragons by dancing dragons, in order to have good weather and abundant crops in the coming year. The custom of dragon dancing has also been carried forward by overseas Chinese. Whenever China people have traditional festivals or major celebrations, they will dance lions and play dragon lanterns, showing a strong oriental atmosphere.

Five, yangko dance

In the Lantern Festival, simple northerners like to celebrate by dancing yangko. The style of yangko varies from place to place, including northern Shaanxi yangko, northeastern yangko, Hebei yangko, Shandong yangko and so on. Among them, the Northeast Yangko has the widest spread and the highest artistic level.

Sixth, solve riddles on the lanterns

"solve riddles on the lanterns", also called "playing riddles", is an activity added after the Lantern Festival. Lantern Festival is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and solve riddles on the lanterns adds a lot of elegance to the festive day. Some people write riddles on paper, stick them on colorful lanterns for people to guess, and hang riddles with lights, so they are called "riddles".

Seven, rowing a dry boat

According to folklore, rowing a dry boat is to commemorate Dayu’s flood control. Rowing a dry boat is also called running a dry boat, which is to imitate the action of boating on land. The performers are usually girls, putting fake boats on their bodies and rowing, singing some local tunes and dancing while running. This is rowing a dry boat.

Eight, Ying Zigu

Zigu is a poor and kind girl in folklore. It is said that she is a concubine of a large family. Because the housewife was jealous, she was killed in the toilet on the fifteenth day of the first month. People sympathize with her and miss her, and in some places, the custom of "welcoming Zigu on the fifteenth day of the first month" appeared conveniently.

picture

Nine, walking away from all diseases

In addition to celebrations, there are also some religious activities in the Lantern Festival, that is, "walking away from all diseases", also known as "dispersing all diseases", "baking all diseases" and "eliminating all diseases". The participants are mainly women, who walk together, or cross the bridge, or walk by the wall, or walk in the suburbs, with the aim of driving away diseases and disasters.

Ten, eat Yuanxiao

"Yuanxiao" is the name of northerners, while southerners call it "Tangyuan" and "Tangtuan". According to our traditional folk custom, every family eats glutinous rice balls on the 15th day of the first month every year. Because these names are similar to the pronunciation of "reunion", they go to the meaning of reunion, and hope that the whole family will be round and round, harmonious and happy on the night of the full moon in May.

Off-campus training and examination places depend on "grabbing" pre-school training. Super-class teaching and training institutions kidnap parents with "early training"

CCTV News:In recent years, the momentum of the rapid expansion of off-campus training courses has not diminished, with students ranging from middle school students, primary school students to preschool children, among which subject training courses are particularly popular. In some big cities, more and more parents are involved in a battle called "Chicken Baby".

Here, "chicken" has changed from a noun to a verb, which means to "give the child chicken blood""Keep arranging extracurricular classes for children and keep taking off-campus exams. It seems that everything has naturally moved from school to off-campus. What is the original intention of parents?

In recent days, a series of exams from an off-campus training institution are being rolled out in some cities all over the country. The exams are aimed at students from kindergarten middle class to fifth grade in primary school. The subjects are Chinese, mathematics and English, and the exam methods are mainly online.Students who register for their summer and autumn classes this year should be selected and stratified. According to their grades, they will enter different classes from low to high difficulty.

Staff of an off-campus training institution:Our system is divided into three parts: excellent system, innovative system and interest system. In the preliminary round, diligence and sensitivity can be offered to every child in front of the screen.

This exam has aroused parents’ increasing concern and heated discussion. In some parents’ groups, everyone exchanged experiences and lamented the difficulty of the topic to see whose child was admitted to the highest class, and its fiery degree even far exceeded any in-school exam.

Mr. Wang, the candidate’s parents: My child took the exam from grade four to grade five. I can still do it at the initial test. I can’t answer many questions in the second test for a short time. I doubt how I got into the university myself.

Mr. Wang said that it is such an exam that the test difficulty is much higher than the school level. When the registration was released in early March this year, it was necessary to grab the quota.

Candidates’ parents, Mr. Wang:I grabbed the opportunity when I made up the second batch of newspapers, and I set the alarm clock at 12 noon.

Some parents told reporters in the interview that the reason why they want to participate in the selection of training courses is that they hope to skip the "allocation" and enter their favorite quality schools.

Reporter:What is the original intention and purpose of giving classes to children?

Parents of primary school students:I can’t help it. It’s like this now. If you don’t learn Olympic Mathematics, you will have no choice at the beginning of your junior high school!

Reporter:Isn’t it assigned?

Parents of primary school students:Yes, it is, but it will be too late for you to wait until you are assigned, and the selection has already been made before.

"early training" grabs opportunities, and the institution "going to school" creates anxiety.

As early as 2014, the Ministry of Education initiated the reform of compulsory education, and clarified the principle of "school enrollment and students’ enrollment nearby". But at the same time, a small number of high-quality schools are still allowed to carry out the "experimental project of early training of extraordinary children", that is, "early training". In the investigation, the reporter found that these training paths, which were originally designed for a very small number of truly gifted children, have become business opportunities for off-campus training institutions, and parents and children have been dragged in one after another.

Staff of an off-campus training institution:Now, the Education Commission has explicitly banned participation in that kind of cup, but there are still some. The cup that used to be a show has now become this camp, that camp, camp events and so on. Going to the camp is to take this kind of exam.

Staff of an off-campus training institution:Moreover, they sometimes refer to our grades when they are "trained early" and when they take exams.They will look at this when they choose, so I told you that no matter whether we think high or learn to think, you must take the large-scale exam as long as you are notified.

Some parents report that staff of off-campus training institutions often teach them "the classics of entering a higher school", suggesting that some schools have expanded the scope of "early training" or "recruit" high-quality students in their eyes, so long as they participate in their various "selections", they may be selected by middle schools. Because public schools reduce the burden, students’ test scores are not well differentiated, so their scores can be used as a basis.

Staff of an off-campus training institution:Look at your resume. Is it beautiful or not? If your resume is beautiful, you are nothing more than taking part in any cup and any exam. For example, both children got 100 points in the exam, but in English, he got the FCE (Cambridge First English Certificate Examination) certificate, and you got the PET (Cambridge English Elementary Examination) certificate. People will definitely want FCE. Now if you take English classes after class, you don’t have to learn school English.

Taking the test score scale officially released by Cambridge English General Test as a benchmark, we can see that KET corresponds to the domestic junior high school English level, PET corresponds to the domestic senior high school English level, and FCE is equivalent to IELTS score of 5.5— 7.0 points, reaching the level of studying abroad.

Staff of an off-campus training institution:A child came that day, anyway, he was very young, so he said that KET had passed, and then he had to prepare PET.

The introduction of other people’s children by training institutions is the most exciting thing for parents. In this way, many parents are involved in the ranks of English proficiency tests. In Shanghai, in order to compete for a KET/PET exam place, the registration fee for the exam was scrambled from 500 yuan to 4,000 yuan. In Beijing, it is a success to get an exam place in a foreign province and city.

Staff of an off-campus training institution:Last year, another one of us went to Hunan to take the exam.

Staff of an off-campus training institution:We still have people going to Yunnan here, so we’ll be satisfied if we grab them. Just take our children for a few days and take a two-day leave.

The chaos of off-campus training is frequent, and "shadow training" has a great influence.

Parents flooded into off-campus training and invested a lot of money and energy in order to win the "stepping stone" of a high-quality prestigious school with their beautiful resumes. The reporter learned that this "resume anxiety" has spread from the early stage of junior high school to preschool children in the early stage of junior high school.

Among some parents, there are many parents of preschool children sharing their experiences. I heard that some primary schools have also set up experimental classes for teaching reform, commonly known as "early training". They hope to enter this system through preschool training. The reporter’s investigation found that all major off-campus training institutions have launched advanced training for preschool children.

Customer service of an off-campus training institution:(Kindergarten small class) Mathematics is about learning seven abilities, learning mathematical sense, logical thinking ability, cultivating his spatial imagination, logical reasoning, etc. This is a mathematics subject, and then he will speak some reading comprehension of Chinese, learn simple articles for children to listen to, etc., as well as English, mainly starting from 26 English letters, and simple vocabulary.

Many parents will prepare resumes for their children to participate in the "early training". In a parent group, the reporter saw two resumes of preschool children. The first child can not only complete the mixed operation of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within 100, but also attend the innovative class with the highest olympiad number in an institution. He also passed the English Cambridge KET exam and learned 2000 Chinese characters, even though he did not pass the sea election. Another child with a basic level passed the sea election, and the reason is that the latter one got 145 in the IQ test of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

According to the method of group friends’ guidance, the reporter found the WeChat WeChat official account of "Zhongke Extraordinary Children", clicked on the appointment, and saw that the number had been fully booked by the end of May.

Reporter:I want to ask how old children can we test?

Staff of Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences:Over 5 years old, 130 points is extraordinary. From March to July now, it is the peak season. Many parents made an appointment two or three months in advance. In the past two years, after the IQ test was approved by the early training, there were many people who made an appointment.

Behind all kinds of off-campus training chaos, a large number of brushing questions and exam-taking skills have also become one of the main aspects of criticism. For example, in a class of "cube dismantling", the teacher directly summed up the problem-solving skills of how to judge that "the unfolded diagram of a cube cannot be formed" as "there is no field, no concave and no big right angle". Students know why, but they don’t know why, so they can answer the questions by mechanical memory. In a Chinese class in a training institution, the teacher even stylized writing and summed up the writing skills of "having images".

Zhang Yu, Vice President of Tsinghua University Education Research Institute:Extracurricular remedial classes also have a name, which is called "shadow education" in academic circles. It is like the shadow of formal education, because the existence of extracurricular remedial classes exists for students to achieve better performance in formal education, but I think it is actually not a shadow, it is another system, and it has actually seriously affected our formal education.

As early as 2018, the state has made it clear that it is resolutely forbidden to take exams, exceed the standard, advance training and be linked to enrollment. However, we can see that under the various packages of training institutions, advanced training is still active, and more and more parents and children are involved. In order to end the chaos in the off-campus training market, the fundamental solution is to block the entrance selection of high-quality schools by disguised examinations and competitions, and cut off the connection between off-campus training institutions and enrollment in primary and secondary schools.
