How to divide the responsibility when "fitness" changes to "injury"?

  The picture shows that the presiding judge of this case is in court.

  guide reading

  With the increasing admiration of the public for the concept of healthy living, yoga has gradually become a popular choice for the masses to keep fit. However, seemingly simple yoga exercise may also suffer sports injuries and lead to disputes. Recently, the People’s Court of Jinan District, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province concluded a case of tort liability dispute caused by yoga injury. After hearing the case, the court held that the yoga studio, as an institution specializing in training and teaching services, failed to fulfill its sufficient security obligations and should bear the main responsibility of this case. At the same time, the customer, as a person with full capacity for civil conduct, should be aware of the related risks of practicing yoga, but he continues to practice after feeling unwell, and there is also fault in the occurrence of damage results, so the responsibility of the yoga studio can be appropriately reduced. While fully safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, the judgment of this case also reflects that the people’s court fully applies the concept of active justice to civil trial work, effectively exerts the rule-leading and value-oriented functions of judicial judgment, and plays a positive role in the standardized governance of service industries such as sports and fitness.

  Fitness is risky and exercise needs to be moderate.

  On December 10, 2021, Duan paid 3380 yuan to a yoga studio through WeChat and became an annual card member of the yoga studio. The next day, Duan transferred 5719 yuan to the yoga studio to buy a personal trainer course package. During the period from December 11th, 2021 to January 22nd, 2022, Duan frequently made an appointment with the yoga instructor Li in the yoga studio through WeChat and did yoga exercises.

  In early January, 2022, Duan felt discomfort in his left hip after attending a private yoga class, and told his coach Li. After listening, Li said that this is a subluxation strain of the femoral head after normal exercise, so let Duan continue to do some rehabilitation and relaxation training in the yoga studio. Duan, out of trust in the coach, continued to go to the yoga studio for classes.

  The injury becomes more serious, and fitness hurts the body.

  On January 20, 2022, Duan went to the hospital for examination because of unbearable pain. The X-ray diagnosis report showed that Duan had degenerative changes in his left hip joint. On the 23 rd of the same month, Duan went to the orthopedic hospital for magnetic resonance examination, and the imaging diagnosis was: a small amount of effusion in the left hip joint space.

  From March to May, 2022, Duan’s symptoms have not been alleviated, and he went to the hospital for examination and treatment many times. He was also hospitalized at the end of April and discharged on May 18th. The diagnosis conclusions given by the hospital are as follows: 1. Hip joint disease (left hip arthritis) edema (mild bone marrow edema in the left acetabulum and mild bone marrow edema in the upper femur of the left femur); 2. Abnormal findings of diagnostic imaging examination in other parts of musculoskeletal system (mild degeneration of pelvis), etc.

  After leaving the hospital, Duan found a yoga studio to find a solution.

  The negotiation ended in vain, and the judge was asked to judge.

  Since then, Duan and coach Li have repeatedly communicated and negotiated related compensation matters, but the two sides have never reached an agreement, so Duan sued the yoga studio and Li to the court. The defendant argued in the lawsuit that Duan confirmed in the WeChat chat with Li that the range of yoga movements taught by Li was very small, and the teaching intensity was low, and Li only demonstrated the movements and told the essentials of the movements, and Duan stretched himself, so Li did not press Duan’s body, so there was no fault in Li’s yoga teaching, and Duan’s injury was not caused by Li, so the defendant should not bear the responsibility.

  In addition, as a sport, yoga practitioners should practice in a step-by-step manner according to the flexibility of their ligaments and the strength of bone structure. Duan, as a practitioner, should fully understand the dangers of practicing yoga. He is eager to achieve success and frequently asks for classes at his own risk, so his injury result is caused by his improper practice. According to the law, if the victim intentionally or neglects the occurrence or expansion of the same damage, the liability of the compensation obligor may be reduced or exempted.

  There is a causal relationship after two appraisals.

  In June, 2022, Duan entrusted a judicial appraisal institute for appraisal, and the appraisal opinions issued by the judicial appraisal institute were as follows: 1. There is a causal relationship between the consequences of Duan’s current left hip injury and the injury caused by practicing yoga in the yoga studio on December 29, 2021; 2. Duan’s delayed construction period is evaluated as 120 days, the nursing period is evaluated as 90 days, and the nutritional period is evaluated as 60 days.

  During the litigation, according to the application of the yoga studio, the court entrusted another judicial appraisal institute to re-evaluate whether there is a causal relationship between Duan’s left hip injury and yoga practice, as well as the missed construction period, nursing period and nutrition period. The opinions of the judicial appraisal opinion issued by the judicial appraisal institute on October 14, 2022 are as follows: 1. There is a complete causal relationship between Duan’s practice of yoga in a yoga studio and his left hip injury; 2. Duan’s delayed construction period is 120 days, the nursing period is 90 days, and the nutrition period is 60 days.

  Both parties are at fault and bear primary and secondary responsibilities.

  Based on the facts of the case and relevant evidence, the court held that citizens have the right to life and health, and the actor should bear tort liability for infringing upon the civil rights and interests of others due to his fault. Duan’s left hip injury has a complete causal relationship with the yoga exercise directed by Li, as evidenced by the appraisal opinions issued by two appraisal institutes.

  As an institution specializing in yoga training and teaching services, the yoga studio should provide students with a safe fitness environment and professional fitness services. It failed to fulfill its sufficient security obligations, resulting in Duan’s injury, and continued to arrange Duan to do yoga exercises after Duan told him that his left hip was unwell. It was at fault for Duan’s injury and should bear the main responsibility of this case.

  As a person with full capacity for civil conduct, Duan should be aware of the risks associated with practicing yoga, have a considerable sense of self-protection, and have a full understanding of his physical condition and endurance. However, after feeling the discomfort of the left hip joint, Duan did not choose to see a doctor in time, took the initiative to stop training, and continued to carry out yoga training. He himself was also at fault for the occurrence of the damage result, which can appropriately reduce the liability for compensation of the yoga studio. Li is a yoga instructor in the yoga studio, and Duan was injured in yoga teaching, so his employer yoga studio should bear the liability for compensation.

  In the end, combined with the actual situation of the case and the degree of fault of both parties, the court ruled that the yoga studio should bear 70% of the liability for compensation, and Duan should bear 30% of the liability himself.

  After the judgment, neither party appealed, and the judgment has taken legal effect.

  ■ referee analysis

  The combination of fault liability principle and fault offset system

  Natural person’s right to health and body should be protected by law. When engaging in social activities, all civil subjects should fulfill the necessary duty of care, respect the rights and interests of others, and avoid causing damage to the rights and interests of others. Any act that causes damage to the rights and interests of others due to negligence or neglect shall bear the corresponding liability for damages. Article 165 of the Civil Code of People’s Republic of China (PRC) clarifies that the principle of general tort liability is the principle of fault liability, that is, unless there are special provisions in the law, generally speaking, the civil subject should bear the liability for damages only when the civil rights and interests of others are infringed by fault (intentionally or negligently); If there is no fault, it is not responsible.

  It is worth noting that Article 173 of the Civil Code states that when the victim is at fault for the occurrence of damage or the expansion of the damage result, the liability of the compensation obligor for damages shall be reduced or exempted according to law, that is, the fault shall be offset. As an important system of damage compensation, the effect of the principle of negligence offset is reflected in three levels: first, for the infringer, the effect of the principle of negligence offset is reflected in the reduction or exemption of his liability for damage compensation. Second, for the infringed, it is reflected in the fact that his claim for damages is restricted in entity, and he has lost part or all of his claim for damages. Third, for the court as a referee, it is reflected that the judge should distribute the damage results fairly among the parties according to specific standards and determine the responsibility. Negligence offset, in essence, is to consider the faults of the offender and the victim to determine the primary and secondary responsibilities, rather than offset each other.

  Returning to this case is essentially a combination of the principle of fault liability and the system of fault offset. First of all, institutions engaged in yoga training and teaching services should provide students with a safe fitness environment and professional fitness guidance services, and do their best to ensure safety within reasonable limits. Yoga is a dangerous sport. In the process of practice, the staff of the yoga studio should guide the students to complete the corresponding actions according to the intensity suitable for their own foundation, and give necessary safety tips. In the case of knowing that the students are unwell due to the practice actions, they should not continue to arrange yoga exercises, which will aggravate the injuries of the students. Therefore, the principle of fault liability applies and the yoga studio bears the main responsibility. Secondly, students, as adults with full capacity for civil conduct, should also know the related risks of practicing yoga, have a considerable sense of self-protection, avoid causing self-harm in yoga exercise, and should also bear part of the responsibility for the expansion of the damage results.

  At the same time, the principle of negligence offset has its subject scope of application. If the victim is at fault for the occurrence or expansion of the damage, it should be applied to reduce the compensation liability of the offender. There should be no objection. It is worth noting that in judicial practice, when a third person who has a specific relationship with the victim has the following circumstances and is at fault for the occurrence or expansion of damage, the principle of negligence offset may still be applied:

  (1) Legal representative

  The legal representative is the guardian of a person without or with limited capacity for civil conduct, and has the legal obligation to supervise, protect and take care of the person without or with limited capacity for civil conduct. If the legal representative neglects to perform his guardianship duties, resulting in damage to the ward, based on the guardianship relationship between the legal representative and the victim, the principle of negligence should be applied to reduce the liability of the offender.

  (2) Staff

  If a staff member causes property losses to the employer due to the infringement of others in the course of performing his duties, if the staff member is at fault for the occurrence or expansion of the damage, his fault is regarded as the fault of the employer, and the fault can be applied to offset and reduce the compensation liability of the infringer.

  ■ Expert comments

  Strengthen the supervision of fitness practitioners and operators.

  Ding Zhaozeng, Associate Professor of Fujian Normal University Law School

  The verdict of this case conforms to the provisions of Article 165 of the Civil Code of People’s Republic of China (PRC), "If the actor infringes upon the civil rights and interests of others due to his fault, he shall bear the tort liability" and Article 173, "If the infringed is at fault for the occurrence or expansion of the same damage, the liability of the infringer may be reduced".

  On the one hand, in the fitness and yoga courses, the service contract relationship is formed between the members and the yoga institutions, and the instructors need to formulate targeted courses according to the students’ physical conditions and fitness goals, and provide professional guidance during the practice. If the members’ sports are injured due to the coach’s mistakes, the coach and the organization may have to bear the corresponding tort liability.

  On the other hand, gymnasiums, yoga studios and other institutions should fulfill their security obligations to members, create a good and safe fitness environment, ensure the safety of supporting service facilities in business and management places and the qualification compliance of coaches, so as to effectively protect the personal and property safety of members. However, the security obligations of gymnasiums, yoga rooms and other institutions are not infinitely expanded. If a member is a person with full capacity for civil conduct, he should have a reasonable understanding of his own health, and should also have a sense of safety and self-protection about the exercise environment and sports equipment. Members should arrange exercises scientifically and reasonably according to their own physical conditions to achieve the purpose of safe and healthy exercise. If members fail to fulfill their duty of care, they should bear certain responsibilities for the consequences of their own damage.

  This case also reflects that the current fitness and yoga consumer markets need to be standardized. On the one hand, the entry threshold for fitness and yoga coaches should be improved, and the skills training and quality education for coaches should be strengthened. Coaches should hold certificates, and coaches engaged in fitness and yoga should hold China Fitness Yoga Grade Certificate. On the other hand, we should strengthen the standardized and legal management of gymnasiums and yoga studios. As soon as possible, formulate and improve the unified standards of fitness, yoga training, grade evaluation and other aspects, so that fitness and yoga training have rules to follow and rules to follow. In addition, it is also necessary to clarify the supervision departments of the fitness and yoga industries, strengthen the supervision of practitioners and operating venues, rectify and clean up the fitness and yoga venues with irregular operation in time, and standardize the industry order.

Tanabata is coming. Is it appropriate to say "Happy Festival"?

  Beijing, August 14 (Reporter Shangguan Yun) The Qixi Festival has arrived. Have you figured out how to send blessings to others? Have you chosen a gift for your lover? Recently, similar issues have become a hot topic on the Internet.

  In recent years, Tanabata is a lively festival. Merchants from all walks of life hope to make a fortune by taking the opportunity, while couples are busy giving gifts to each other and thinking about blessing copywriting. There are also singles who laugh at themselves as "not suitable for holidays".

  How much do you know about this festival?

  Is it appropriate to say happy holidays to singles?

  The present Qixi Festival is also called "China Valentine’s Day".

  As early as it has not yet arrived, many people have made careful preparations: couples exchange gifts and wish each other a happy holiday, making this festival extremely warm.

  At the same time, some people laugh at themselves for "two delays in love career", which is not suitable for festivals; Considering the love theme of the festival, some people make fun of it. Don’t say "Happy Holidays" to singles, which is a double blow.

  Wang Juan, a folklore expert, explained that Tanabata is rich in connotation, including begging for cleverness, begging for children, tying a red rope and so on, which is far more than just love. In ancient times, there was no unified way of blessing in the whole country, so we had to talk about the matter.

  "For example, if you treat it as Valentine’s Day, you will wish it everlasting; When the girl’s adult ceremony is over, I wish the girl what she wants, and what kind of blessing to send, generally depends on the needs of both sides. " She said.

  Of course, on Tanabata, you can also say happy holidays. Wang Juan believes that singles can use this festival to express their love, and those who don’t want to celebrate this festival don’t have to. It is a very romantic festival in itself, so don’t give yourself so many restrictions.

  Not just love.

  Indeed, earlier, Tanabata had little to do with love. The spread of the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl has something to do with the ancient people’s observation of the actions of Vega and Altair.

  According to ancient records, at that time in July evening, Vega just rose to the highest point of the year, which was clearly visible. In addition, the two dark stars next to Vega look like an opening to the east, and when you look to the east, you can see the "Altair".

  Later generations, the connotation of Tanabata gradually enriched. Begging with needles, for example, started in Han Dynasty, and is especially popular among women. The gameplay is very simple. They wear the needle in the competition. The faster they wear it, the more "cleverness" they beg for, and the success of threading the needle is "skillful".

  There is also a game called "floating needle trick". The girls will prepare a basin of water one day in advance and put it in the courtyard, and there will be floating dust on the water the next day. Then, the girls put the needle in and observe the projection of the needle after the sun comes out.

  In addition, according to folklore, July 7th is Kuixing’s birthday, and scholars who want to achieve fame will make sacrifices on Tanabata to pray for their success in the exam.

  In the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there was also a "Qiqiao City". The festive food on Tanabata is called "proper fruit", which is mainly made of oil, flour, sugar and honey. It is called "laughing tired of children" and "fruit eating pattern" in Tokyo Dream of China Record.

  Constantly enriched festival connotation

  Besides, Wang Juan once mentioned that in ancient times, one of the main contents of Chinese Valentine’s Day was begging for cleverness, so most unmarried girls celebrated this festival. In some areas, this day is a rite of passage for girls.

  For a traditional festival, its connotation, customs and so on would have been enriched and developed with the passage of time. In modern society, inheriting beneficial customs also needs to be linked with daily life.

  Therefore, as far as Tanabata is concerned, some experts suggest that we can start with the details, such as girls can still hold similar handicraft competitions and let children do proper fruit, which can also encourage young people to pay attention to and participate in this festival.

The young man joined this special volunteer team to help others after playing games for 8 months.

Residents of the community gave Dong Lianghong a thumbs up.

Residents of the community gave Dong Lianghong a thumbs up.

  one person

  I ate lunch at noon and started to play games. I didn’t go to sleep until 6 or 7 o’clock the next morning. After sleeping, I got up and continued to play. This kind of life lasted for 8 months, resulting in retinal detachment in both eyes. After three operations, I saved part of my vision and changed his life.

  A team

  I joined the volunteer service team and became a volunteer, hoping to bring my skills to those who need them more, and at the same time help those disabled people who are hiding in the dark corner like themselves, to bravely come out, integrate into society and face life optimistically.

  Xiao Xiao, a 26-year-old boy from Chengdu, played games in front of the computer day and night for eight months, resulting in retinal detachment in both eyes, leaving only one eye with weak vision. Losing his light, he tried to commit suicide, but with the help of his family, friends and society, he walked out of the darkness. He not only became a blind masseur by himself, but also joined a special volunteer team to help others give back to society.

  On the morning of November 14th, in dressing the, Xiao Xiao and the volunteer team came to Chengdu Wanjiafudi Community with a toolbox, providing services such as haircut, massage and shoeshine for the elderly and needy people here. What moved the residents at the scene was that these volunteers were all disabled, some of them were deaf and some were physically disabled. They were the service team for the disabled in Qingyang District of Chengdu and the first volunteer service team for the disabled in Sichuan Province.

  "Self-improvement, self-confidence and gratitude are our slogans and the original intention of building a team." Zeng Guanghui, captain of the service team for the disabled in Qingyang District, Chengdu, said.

  free service

  Massage haircut shine shoes

  Disabled volunteers come to serve the elderly and the weak in the community.

  On November 14th, after several days of cold weather, the long-lost sunshine came out, making the earth warm. In Wanjiafudi Community, a group of volunteers wearing red vests and red caps are busy, having haircuts, massages and shining shoes, providing convenient services for the elderly and the weak here. The scene is very warm.

  However, half an hour ago, when the volunteers first arrived, everyone just stopped to watch, and few residents received services. "They are all disabled people and people in need. How dare we ordinary people accept their free services?" Residents of the community said. It turned out that the volunteers who entered the community service this time were different from the past. They came from the disabled people’s service team in Qingyang District, Chengdu. The team members were all disabled, some were deaf and dumb, and some were physically disabled. Behind the volunteers, there is a poster with the words "self-improvement, self-confidence and gratitude" very eye-catching.

  "Disabled people need self-improvement and self-confidence, and we should understand and respect them." Mr. Chen, the citizen, accepted the shoeshine service before he first came to the shoeshine booth. In Uncle Chen’s view, it is a good thing for disabled volunteers to provide services, which can prove their self-reliance and self-confidence. Everyone should understand and respect them. If they do well, they should be praised. Even if they are not good, they should be encouraged to improve their self-reliance.

  When everyone learned the original intention of the volunteers, they enjoyed the free service of the volunteers and gave them a thumbs-up and praise.

  "Teacher, my back has been hurting for two weeks. Please give me a massage." He Zihua, a 75-year-old man, accidentally bumped into his waist at home two weeks ago, put on a plaster, and still felt dull pain. When she saw Xiao Xiao, who provided massage service, she went forward for consultation. "You may have a bad breath in your abdomen. Let me massage it for you." Xiao Xiao arranged for the old man to sit down, gently knead it with his fingers, and carefully asked about the symptoms. After analysis, the symptoms of the old man’s abdominal rib bifurcation were ruled out, which may be caused by impact. It is recommended that the old man go to the hospital for another examination. The reporter noticed that in the process of massage, Xiao Xiao also set up a dragon gate array with the old man, such as how old he was, how many people in his family, and what he liked to eat. The whole communication process was very pleasant, and the old man did not have a different vision because he was disabled. For the service of volunteers, the old man expressed great gratitude. "I am old, my legs have been in car accidents before, and it is inconvenient to move. Thank them for providing services and helping us elderly people."

  exert oneself constantly

  Not only can I earn money and live independently.

  You can also help others in need.

  "I want to prove myself, and I can do what normal people can do." Xiao Xiao, 26, is a member of the volunteer team. After graduating from college, he worked in sales, earning seven or eight thousand yuan a month, and likes to get together and play with friends as much as young people. Three years ago, he quit his good job at that time and returned home to find a job. When he doesn’t go to work, his free time is naturally much more. He loves to play games and begins to immerse himself in front of the computer. He plays day and night. "I started to play after eating at noon, and I didn’t sleep until six or seven the next morning. I got up and continued to play." Xiao Xiao said that this kind of life lasted for 8 months. Later, when I went out to play with my friends, I suddenly found that I couldn’t see clearly, and my vision was blurred. Later, my eyes were completely dark.

  After hospital examination, I was diagnosed with retinal detachment in both eyes and may be blind. After hearing the bad news, Xiao Xiao collapsed internally. "I am only in my twenties, and my life has just begun. After blindness, my life is over!" Unable to face the reality, he tried to commit suicide many times, but was stopped by his family and friends and constantly enlightened him. After three operations, Xiao Xiao’s left eye was partially preserved. Blindness has changed his life, but it has not faded his heart of active life. After being introduced, he came to the blind massage shop, where he not only learned massage techniques, but also made friends with disabilities. After coming into contact with this circle, he found that he could work and live like a normal person except for a few inconveniences.

  "I used to be a child who didn’t grow up. I grew up after experiencing it. I want to reassure my family that I can not only earn money to live independently, but also help others in need." After learning that the service team for the disabled in Qingyang District of Chengdu will be established, Xiao Xiao joined the team in the first batch and became a volunteer. He said that he hopes to bring his skills to those who need them more, and at the same time help those disabled people who are hiding in dark corners like themselves, to bravely come out, integrate into society and face life optimistically.

  Establish an initial heart

  Grateful to give back to society.

  Drive more disabled people into society.

  In the eyes of some citizens, the disabled are also vulnerable groups in society and the object of everyone’s help, but now they have to accept the voluntary service of the disabled. Is this good?

  "Self-improvement, self-confidence and gratitude are our slogans and the original intention of building a team." Zeng Guanghui, the captain of Chengdu Qingyang District Disabled People’s Service Team, said that the Chengdu Qingyang District Disabled People’s Service Team was formally established on November 8 this year. It is composed of Chengdu Qingyang District Minghui Disabled Service Center entrusted by Chengdu Qingyang District Disabled Persons’ Federation and consists of disabled volunteers. At present, there are 10 members. The team trains its members and provides convenience services such as shoeshine, haircut and massage for community residents, which reflects the spirit of self-reliance and self-reliance of the disabled, and at the same time gives back to the society’s care for the disabled.

  At the service site, there was a team member who buried himself in shoeshine seriously. His name was Dong Lianghong, and he had a speech disability and could not speak. He communicated through gestures when polishing shoes for the public. He first brushed the dust with a shoe brush, then coated it with shoe polish, wiped it repeatedly, and finally dried it with a soft cloth. Soon, a pair of brand-new leather shoes were polished, and the citizens gave him a thumb. Dong Lianghong smiled happily. Zeng Guanghui said that in the past, Dong Lianghong looked forward to being at home because of his disability, and rarely dealt with outsiders. After being introduced by friends to work with him, people became cheerful. Before the establishment of the volunteer team, he often participated in some public welfare activities. "As soon as he heard of activities, he was very active in signing up." To this end, the establishment of this team, in addition to giving back to society, also hopes to mobilize more disabled people to join in and integrate into society.

  The relevant staff of the Qingyang District Disabled Persons’ Federation in Chengdu told the reporter that this team is the first disabled volunteer service team in Sichuan Province. In order to support and encourage more disabled people to participate, the Disabled Persons’ Federation will also give volunteers some subsidies in transportation, meals and other aspects after each service. At the same time, Zeng Guanghui said that he hopes to expand the scale in the future, and provide more convenience services in addition to voluntary services, which can also promote the employment of disabled people.

How to get to the property market in third-and fourth-tier cities?

  On April 16th, the Ministry of Finance issued the "Notice on Issuing the Special Fund Budget for Urban Affordable Housing Project of the Central Government in 2019", and the number of planned renovation sets of urban shanty towns in 2019 was also released.

  Compared with 2018, the number of shed renovation sets in 37 provinces and cities in 2019 totaled 2,852,900 sets, which was nearly 51% lower than the planned renovation set of 5.88 million sets in 2018.

  Before the Ministry of Finance announced the start-up of the shed reform plan in 2019 in April, in January 2019, local governments disclosed the relevant data of the shed reform plan in 2019 in their work reports, and the targets of nearly half of the cities were lower than those in early 2019.

  Analysts pointed out that the sharp reduction of the start-up target of shed reform in 2019 indicates that the proportion of commercial housing sales brought by shed reform in the total sales of commercial housing in the country will gradually decrease, and the direct impact is reflected in the benefits of shed reform in third-and fourth-tier cities and below. It will gradually weaken.

  According to the report of Kerui Real Estate Research Center, except for a few provinces such as Fujian, Tianjin, Guangxi, Guangdong and Tibet, the planned construction volume of the remaining 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities has declined to varying degrees compared with 2018, with a decline of more than 50% reaching 15.

  In terms of absolute value, the planned construction starts of Jiangxi, Jiangsu and Anhui provinces in 2019 still exceeded 200,000 sets, ranking among the top three in many provinces and cities, while the construction starts of seven provinces and cities such as Ningbo, Ningxia and Hainan were all less than 10,000 sets due to the small scale of shed reform. Judging from the year-on-year changes, there are ups and downs among provinces and cities, and the overall situation is "falling more and rising less". Five provinces, including Fujian, Tianjin, Guangxi, Guangdong and Tibet, grew year-on-year, with Fujian’s increase being the most significant, reaching 117%. The planned starts of the remaining 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have declined to varying degrees compared with 2018, with 15 of them falling by more than 50%. It is noteworthy that Shandong, Henan, Guizhou, Hunan and other major shed-reformed provinces all experienced a year-on-year decline of over 70%. We believe that the staged callback in the provinces with a large amount of shed reform in the early stage conforms to objective laws and market expectations. For example, in Henan Province, the actual amount of shed reform in 2018 has reached 1.8 times that in 2016, and the planned target for 2019 is only 150,000 sets, down 77% year-on-year, with a significant decline, and the decline is also expected.

  In fact, before the Ministry of Finance announced the start-up amount of shed reform plans in 2019 in various provinces in April, in January 2019, local governments disclosed the relevant data of shed reform plans in 2019 in their work reports. Through the comparison of these two sets of data, we can also see the changes in the current market expectations for shed reform.

  Among the 19 provinces that can be counted, 7 provinces including Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Henan and Tibet have not changed much in 2019, and the increase or decrease is within 5%. Nearly half of the cities’ targets have fallen to different degrees compared with the beginning of 2019, and the declines in Liaoning, Jilin, Hubei, Shaanxi and other provinces have significantly exceeded 50%. On the one hand, the data disclosed by some provinces at the beginning of the year are more general, which is basically the target construction volume of two years; On the other hand, Hubei, Shaanxi and other provinces have basically overdrawn the future shed reform space due to the large amount of work started in the previous shed reform. It can be expected that the promotion of shed reform to local real estate sales is also weakening. In addition, the amount of construction started in a few provinces such as Fujian and Sichuan is higher than the data released at the beginning of the year, which is also in line with the regulation idea of "governing by the city", and the goal of shed reform also reflects the characteristics of looseness and tightness.

  Chen Sheng, executive director of China Real Estate Data Research Institute, said that according to the previously announced three-year plan, the proportion of shantytown renovation is gradually decreasing.

  According to the previously published three-year plan, another 15 million sets of shanty towns will be renovated in the three years from 2018 to 2020, which is the second three-year plan for shantytown renovation. Prior to this, in 2015, the State Council proposed to renovate 18 million housing units in shanty towns, including dangerous buildings and villages in cities, in 2015-2017.

  Kerui Real Estate Research Center pointed out that from 2015 to 2017, it basically maintained a year-on-year growth trend. In the past three years, the number of starts was above 6 million sets. Although the target for 2018 was slightly reduced to 5.8 million sets, from the actual completion situation, the number of new shanty towns was 6.27 million sets, and the target completion rate reached a new high of 107.4%.

  The overfulfilment in previous years also laid the groundwork for the subsequent shed reform and shrinkage.

  Last October, the executive meeting of the State Council clearly put forward that the scope and standards of shed reform should be strictly improved, and the monetary resettlement policy of shed reform should be adjusted and improved according to local conditions. Among them, it is clearly proposed to adjust and improve the monetary resettlement policy for shed reform, and cities and counties with insufficient commercial housing inventory and high pressure of rising house prices should cancel the preferential monetary resettlement policy as soon as possible.

  The report of Kerui Real Estate Research Center points out that the less shantytown renovation is, the more it conforms to the objective law, and it is impossible to change more and more. On the other hand, some negative effects of vigorously promoting the monetary resettlement of shed reform have already appeared, such as increasing the pressure of local financial liabilities and pushing up the housing prices in the third and fourth lines. The inventory problem based on the third and fourth lines has been initially solved, and it is also reasonable to lower the target of shed reform.

  The insiders believe that the main purpose of shed reform is to meet the housing needs of residents who just need it. With the reduction of the overall number of shanty towns and the end of the task of destocking in various places, some cities and counties with low inventory will gradually withdraw from the monetization of shed reform.

  Kerui Real Estate Research Center believes that the tightening of shed reform policy in 2019 is basically expected, especially in the context of relatively tight local finance, monetized resettlement and other methods will gradually withdraw, and the stimulating effect on real estate sales will also be weakened.

  In addition, the report pointed out that the current scale of shed reform is "halved", first of all, it is an impact on the market expectation level, and it is also releasing a signal that the phased destocking task has been completed, and the promotion of shed reform to real estate sales is disappearing. Previously, the shed reform once directly boosted the sales of about 20% of commercial housing, and this force will never return in 2019 and beyond.

  In addition, the monetization resettlement has also been continuously tightened. As early as October 2018, it was stated at the symposium of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development that the monetization resettlement of shed reform in 2019 will be mainly based on special bonds, and the government’s purchase of shed reform service mode will be cancelled; At the same time, local governments have also proposed that the shed reform will focus on physical resettlement, and the proportion of monetized resettlement will also be reduced, which will have a more direct impact on the sales of commercial housing. Without the drive of funds, the purchasing power of residents will be greatly reduced.

  Zhang Bo, chief analyst of 58 Anjuke Real Estate Research Institute, pointed out that the sharp reduction of the starting target of shed reform in 2019 indicates that the proportion of commercial housing sales brought by shed reform in the total sales of commercial housing in the country will gradually decrease, and the direct impact is reflected in the shed reform in the third-and fourth-tier cities and below will also gradually weaken.

  In Zhang Bo’s view, the direct benefits of shed reform will be accelerated and weakened in the third-and fourth-tier cities in the future, and the third-and fourth-tier cities will usher in obvious differentiation. In the future, the cities in key urban agglomerations will have more population concentration, and the shrinking third-and fourth-tier cities will face further shrinkage of the commercial housing market.

Zhang Yimou’s new work "Cross-border" fashion circle fashion "Butterfly" will be on stage.

1905 movie network news The second season of dialogue fable 2047, a brand-new concept performance produced by Buick and directed by Zhang Yimou, is about to premiere, and the team is rehearsing nervously recently.

In this performance, the masters of traditional folk art will join hands with the world’s top scientific and technological experts, and Zhang Yimou, who advocates cultural inheritance through innovation, even "crossed the border" fashion circle and invited the international avant-garde fashion design team of Turkish Ezra Tuba to join the performance. 

The internationally renowned Ezra Tuba team used nanotechnology and wearable technology to create the world’s first flying Butterfly Dress together with Intel. This dress can sense external stimuli, including touch, body temperature and movements. When an object approaches or movesWhen the mobile device communicates wirelessly, the butterfly on the clothes will "wake up" slowly, and gradually speed up the rhythm frequency of the wings and dance in the air as the object approaches. This time, this technology will also be applied to the unit program "Song Shu Butterfly" in the second season of Dialogue Fable 2047. When the enthusiastic Zhuang people sing Poya Song Shu, ancient songs can call "Butterfly" and bring the audience a sense of returning to nature. 

In an exclusive interview, Zhang Yimou admitted that the "cross-border" fashion circle aims to "add technology and intangible cultural heritage together with the traditional culture of China, and we hope to present a particularly good visual effect on the stage at 1+1." As early as the press conference of Dialogue Fable 2047 in the second season, Bao Ye, director of Buick Marketing Department of SAIC-GM, the producer, already said, "I am looking forward to seeing our team really make a bigger and newer breakthrough in the second season and show it to the audience." 

It’s 2023, is your mobile phone screen folded?

Text | slow pixel

Editor | Wen Ba Niang

Since Motorola came to China with a mobile phone in 1999, it has become a necessity in people’s daily life. More than 20 years have passed, and the mobile phone terminal market has experienced many industrial leaps. Now it has already entered a new stage from the struggle of thousands of smart phones, and major mobile phone manufacturers have increased their investment in folding screen mobile phones. It seems that the folding screen mobile phone has become a new battlefield for their competition.

Folding screen mobile phone, is it just needed or false demand? Is the era when the national mobile phone is ruled by folding screens really coming?

When the folding screen mobile phone becomes a fashion "symbol"

I don’t know when the folding screen mobile phone became a symbol of wealth and trend. When the migrant workers in the first-tier cities returned to the county, they suddenly found that the "rich women in the county" already had a folding screen mobile phone-they may not be strong women who walk in the first-tier cities with BGM, but they have BMW, Audi, brand-name bags and folding screen mobile phones.

Just like the advertising slogan of Samsung’s folding screen mobile phone, "It’s time to fold together". "Sisters have it. It’s cheaper than Apple 14. Why not buy it?" Xiaohui, a post-95 girl from a county town in Sichuan, said: "What’s the meaning of going back and forth besides chasing drama or chasing variety shows and brushing news?" Anyway, I don’t understand it, just chase it! "

Xiaohui’s mentality reflects the attitude of some consumers towards folding screen mobile phones. They don’t have a demand for the function or individual use value of specific things, but actually have a demand for the meaning (and the difference of meaning) given by goods.

As Baudrillard pointed out in Consumer Society, "the logic of goods has been popularized, which not only dominates the labor process and material products, but also dominates the whole culture, sexual desire, interpersonal relationships, and individual fantasies and impulses."

In Baudrillard’s eyes, things are not an objective entity, but a symbolic meaning with an objective entity as the carrier. Drinking Coca-Cola is not so much a consumption of carbonated drinks as a consumption of a meaning and recognition of a certain lifestyle. The mobile phone has become a fashion symbol, which began to appear as early as ten years ago.

In 2013, six years have passed since Jobs took out his first Apple mobile phone. In a university in Harbin, Tian Qing, a 21-year-old senior, finally got the first Apple mobile phone in her life. At that time, most of her classmates were using Nokia E63 or Lenovo, TCL and other brands of full keyboard or flip phones. This Apple mobile phone 3 was bought as a birthday present for the sailor’s father when he passed through the United States.

Every era has its own imprint, regardless of industry or field. In the eyes of domestic consumers, Motorola, Nokia and BlackBerry, which are deeply loved by geeks and business people, are all "trendy products" of their respective times. With the entry of Xiaomi, a showstopper, the price of the smart phone market has finally been reduced to less than 1,000 yuan, and the "trendy" attribute of smart phones has weakened, returning to universality and popularization, and mobile phones have gradually become "tools".

For example, a migrant worker in the Imperial Capital, who is in sharp contrast with the "county rich woman", was born in 1992. "I use the folding screen mobile phone as a production tool, while checking information and writing a copy." He said that as a typical "copywriter dog", you no longer have to carry a brick-like tablet or a computer weighing several kilograms, which is "real freedom". "But the screen is still too small. Sometimes I feel that my eyes are going blind. It is ok for a short time, but it is still very uncomfortable for a long time."

But another feature of fashion is that it will definitely come back. Nowadays, the folding screen mobile phone, which has some similarities with the flip phone, has begun to become the fashion trend of this era. In this sense, the folding screen mobile phone at this time has become a new symbol.

A new track that all manufacturers want to win.

But in any case, the folding screen mobile phone was completely popular in 2022.

According to IDC data, in the fourth quarter of 2022, the single-season shipment of folding screen products in China reached a new high, with more than 1.1 million units shipped, and the annual shipment was nearly 3.3 million units, up 118% year-on-year. The proportion of folding screen products in the domestic smart phone market rose from 0.5% in 2021 to 1.2%.

Looking at this set of data alone, it seems that there is nothing surprising. However, it should be noted that in 2022, China’s smartphone shipments dropped by 13.2% compared with 2021, to 286 million, which was the first time in ten years that it fell below 300 million. Compared with 470 million smartphones shipped at the peak in China in 2016, it shrank by about 40% year-on-year.

Between a liter and a drop, the market for folding screens seems to be good for the naked eye. However, after further study, it will be found that behind the good-looking data is that the base of folding screen mobile phones in 2021 is low enough.

Even so, for the mobile phone manufacturers who have been fighting for several years in the "price war" and "stacking war" and finally see the new possibilities in the industry, the folding screen mobile phone is indeed a direction that can focus on.

As a rare bright spot in the mobile phone market in recent years, the emergence of folding screen mobile phones can not be separated from the pioneering move of Samsung, an old mobile phone manufacturer. The world’s first commercial mass-produced smart folding screen mobile phone is the Galaxy Fold from Samsung, which was launched in 2019. The 7.3-inch flexible large screen broke through the limitations of the original mobile phone screen. With this, Samsung has also brought the industry to a new era of folding screen mobile phones. As the pioneer of folding screen, in 2022, Samsung’s share in the global folding screen market was 16.5%, ranking second in the industry.

But the first person in the industry is not necessarily the one with the largest market share, and this first-Mover advantage was quickly surpassed by Chinese mobile phone manufacturers. Through the picture of IDC, we can see that Huawei has the highest proportion in the global market, even nearly three times that of Samsung. In 2022, Huawei exerted enough force on the folding screen mobile phone side.

According to public information, Huawei’s folding screen mobile phones are Huawei Mate X2, Huawei Mate Xs 2, Huawei P50 Pocket and Huawei Pocket S, and these mobile phones have a good popularity.

Huawei Yu Chengdong once said at Huawei Pocket S and the new product launch conference of the whole scene: "For every two folding screen mobile phones sold in China, one is Huawei." This shows Huawei’s determination and confidence in folding screen mobile phones.

In addition, OPPO won 13.8% market share with Find N2 Flip, ranking third. Followed by vivo, glory and Xiaomi, with market shares of 7.7%, 6.5% and 6.4% respectively.

In 2022, mainstream mobile phone brands including Huawei, Samsung, Xiaomi, OPPO, Glory and vivo continued to launch new folding screen mobile phones. According to the rough statistics of public data, at least 20 mobile phones with folding screens will be released in the second half of 2022.

With such a dense pace of new product launch, it is no wonder that the outside world will think that this is a new track that is quite interesting. However, in the view of slow playback, there are two reasons for the popularity of folding screen mobile phones.

First, the market needs new stories. From the launch of Apple’s mobile phone in 2007, smartphones have been on the market for 16 years. In these 16 years, smartphones have grown from scratch, and their functions have changed from single to multiple. Although the market can see the efforts of major manufacturers, it boils down to nothing more than the previous "price war" and the subsequent "stacking" wars in photography technology, screen pixels, memory, chips and design. No real breakthrough has been achieved in the industry when major manufacturers "rolled up" internal injuries.

Second, the market has new demands. In the past few years, the competition in the low-end market of domestic smart phones was the fiercest, so at that time, the market scale of "thousand yuan machine" was even larger. However, in 2021, the contribution of domestic smart phones with a revenue of more than 4,000 yuan has exceeded 50%, and it has gradually become the consensus of the global smart phone industry to make efforts in the high-end market. The folding screen mobile phone is a representative model of high-end mobile phones in terms of function and price. In this case, it is expected that the manufacturer will re-note the folding screen mobile phone.

How far is it from real popularization?

Mobile phone manufacturers have made a big bet to compete, and each even hopes that their folding screen mobile phones will become a sharp weapon for brands to seize the market, but consumers like Mingming and Xiaohui just want to use them as dispensable "tools" or fashion products. This kind of opposite direction of supply and demand has implied the difficulty of widespread popularization of folding screen mobile phones.

After all, they are also quite representative among consumers. What’s more, since the folding screen mobile phone went on the market, consumers around it have not been interrupted.

"At the beginning, the price of the folding screen mobile phone bought with an early adopter mentality was really painful for several months. After buying it, it seems that there is nothing special except’ pretending’." Xing Lei is a digital enthusiast, a fanatic who wants to get started whenever a new product goes on the market.

"If you have to say a few special places, it is that the sound of opening or closing the folding screen is very loud, and every time you fold, you are worried that the screen will break." Because Xing Lei started folding the screen phone earlier, the folding technology of the screen was really not very good at that time. However, what impressed him was the price of changing the screen. "Not long after I bought it, my mobile phone fell to the ground. It was not my mobile phone but my wallet that was broken." According to him, it took more than 3,000 yuan to change the screen, which is equivalent to the price of a mid-range mobile phone.

It is Xing Lei’s obvious feeling that there are few people around to buy and most of them are watching the excitement. "I always feel that I have paid an IQ tax."

Xiaohui’s idea is not so complicated. When she bought a folding screen mobile phone, the price has already dropped. "Seven or eight thousand yuan, the price is not as expensive as Apple’s 14. The latest model is small and cute, which is very suitable for girls." Yan value is justice and the price is acceptable, which is all her requirements for mobile phones.

Both Xing Lei and Xiaohui are essentially "not bad money" people. But for more mass consumers, their replacement cycle and acceptable price are not the case.

In the recent survey of folding screen mobile phone consumption for young people, we may be able to see some trends.

According to the survey data, among the young consumers aged 21-35, less than 5% use folding screen mobile phones, and more people are still using straight screen mobile phones; In terms of replacement cycle, 1-2 years and 2-3 years have the largest number of consumers, accounting for more than 70%, while changing mobile phones within one year accounts for less than 5%.

In terms of mobile phone prices, mid-range models are more popular, with the prices of 2001-4,000 yuan and 4,001-6,000 yuan bringing consumers the most, accounting for 28% and 26% respectively. Consumers with the price of 6,001-8,000 yuan dropped sharply, only 17%, and consumers with mobile phone prices above 10,000 yuan were less than 10%.

From the survey data, it can be clearly perceived that the price of 6001-8000 yuan for folding screen mobile phones is not high. This also means that the folding screen mobile phone wants to extract the target consumers from this group of people, and its potential consumers are bound to be less.

When asked about the price range of folding screen in consumers’ minds, 33% of consumers think it should be in the range of 4001-6000 yuan, 23% of consumers can accept the range of 6001-8000 yuan, but 26% of consumers think that the price of folding screen mobile phone can reach 2001-4000 yuan.

For the purchase intention of folding screen mobile phones, "may buy" and "resolutely not buy" are almost equally divided, accounting for 10%; Their feedback on "under what circumstances will they buy a folding screen mobile phone" can also explain the problem quite well: geek mentality and early adopters with products account for the highest proportion, exceeding 31%, and those who pull out weeds after being planted by others account for 18.5%, and those who need it for work account for 13.5%. The proportion of consumers who "buy after popularization" is 8%. It is worth noting that 16% of consumers said that "they will regret it after buying it".

Therefore, Slow Release believes that it is still too early for mobile phone manufacturers to increase their overall market share through folding screen mobile phones, when the folding screen mobile phones with high technology and price are far from being popularized. Moreover, there are still many unsolved difficulties in folding screen mobile phones, which need to be improved by manufacturers. Such as "too heavy, poor performance, expensive maintenance", "expensive, nothing special in function", and 22% of consumers think this is a "proper IQ tax, don’t pay for’ semi-finished products’"

However, they also said that if the folding screen mobile phone is stable in all aspects and the cost drops to a relatively reasonable range, it will still consider buying it.

In addition, among the purchase decision factors of folding screen mobile phones, consumers rank in the top five in terms of function/performance, price, operating system and design, and pay little attention to the brand. This also reflects from the side that the passionate consumption era of "rushing to buy the latest mobile phone" has passed, and the rational consumption era of "paying attention to function, function and price" has arrived.

Generally speaking, although from the perspective of consumers, the folding screen mobile phone is still a long way from the real popularity. However, it is worthy of recognition that the investment of domestic smartphone manufacturers in new technology has freed them from the whirlpool of "price war" and turned to the real technical level PK.

We also have reason to believe that this long-term investment will surely lead China’s manufacturing industry to a broader world.

Get "model design" new skills: can AI control its own evolution?

  "It only takes a few lines of code to build a regression model." Programmers recognize the performance of Google AutoML and think that the model designed by AutoML is comparable to that designed by machine learning experts. A few days ago, Google engineers introduced the Google AutoML project in China and Silicon Valley respectively.

  Confused doubts followed — — AI evolved again? ! Already self-developed? Can control their own evolution? Is it to get rid of humans?

  How many steps does evolution take?

  AI has indeed evolved, and it can do more and more things and achieve remarkable results. Behind it is the "triple jump" of AI implementation path — —

  Zhao Zhigang, a researcher at the Big Data R&D Department of Jinan Center of National Supercomputing, said: "At first, we used mathematical formulas and ‘ if… … then’ Wait for the statement to tell the computer what to do in the first step and what to do in the second step, teach it by hand, and then give the machine N groups of inputs and outputs. The rules or laws in the middle are learned by itself. "

  "Before, many smart minds spent their whole lives studying how to extract effective features." Mo Yu, CTO of Smart Point, which focuses on intelligent shopping guide dialogue robots, explained, "The invention of neural network algorithm and the emergence of deep learning technology have made AI evolve to 2.0, and the work of extracting features is carried out by AI itself, and our work has also changed accordingly."

  It is easy to explain the transition from "1.0" to "2.0" with the model of mathematical function: if the tasks of image recognition, semantic understanding and chess playing are all regarded as different Y=f(X), that is, the input picture, voice or chess move of "cat" is "x", and the output cat, answer and chess move is "y". Before deep learning, people find the formula corresponding to function F through their own analysis and tell it to AI. After deep learning, people input a lot of correspondence between x and y, and AI finds the formula corresponding to function f by itself.

  "The specific content of the function F found by AI may be better than that found by humans, but humans don’t know it, just like a black box." Mo Yu said, "But the form of F is designed by AI researchers through research. If deep neural network is used, the modules in the network and the organization between modules are also designed in advance."

  With the maturity and popularization of deep learning technology, there has been a specific pursuable experience in model construction. "The release of various common neural networks has made the threshold for employment lower and lower. Some ordinary model construction and optimization, just graduated students can get started in online learning tutorials. " Zhao Zhigang said.

  When modeling becomes a learnable skill, AutoML appears. What it can do is the model design work of AI researchers. "It will help different companies build artificial intelligence systems, even if they don’t have extensive expertise." Google engineers recommend this. AI successfully evolved to 3.0.

  In fact, AutoML still replaces the work that human beings can extract experience. "If people described a set of ‘ Road network ’ With the technical assistance of deep learning, the machine can find the optimal path as quickly as possible; Then AI can now design its own road network. " Zhao Zhigang was concise.

  It can be seen that both deep learning and AutoML only replace the work that some groups of human beings have studied thoroughly. "What machines can do, try not to work by hand" is the life creed of many programmers, which gave birth to AutoML. Based on the same creed, Microsoft developed DeepCoder. "It can be used to generate programs that satisfy given input and output." Mo Yu said, but its performance is not satisfactory at present, and only some simple programs can be written.

  Who is "God"

  There is no doubt that the answer is human.

  Since AI has evolved to a higher level of model design, what changes have taken place in the "hand of God"?

  "An alchemist", Mo Yu vividly talked about his work in two words. "Smart is a professional intelligent customer service. The work of R&D personnel mainly focuses on problem modeling (how to turn actual problems into problems solved by artificial intelligence technology) and algorithm optimization (how to improve the effect of artificial intelligence algorithms)."

  "refining" means constant debugging and improvement. "For a specific person, the more you throw your temper, the better. The more accurate the answer, the better." Mo Yu said, "Our X is the customer’s question, Y is the reply of the robot customer service, and the middle function F needs training."

  This is not an easy task. If we divide the experience of human society into three categories: definite rules with formulas, knowledge that can be expressed in words, and feelings that can only be understood but cannot be expressed. The last category is the most difficult to ponder.

  "Therefore, we try to build a perfect closed-loop feedback, understand the preferences of specific users, and finally achieve what they like through the expression of emotions and interests." Mo Yu said, "At present, it is in the stage of man-machine collaboration, but the acquisition of more and more samples will help our intelligent customer service to give accurate and pleasing answers."

  It can be seen that not all fields are suitable for AI’s self-development. For example, in the aspect of problem modeling, how to abstract practical problems into machine learning problems can not be completed by AI. In the stage of AI2.0, R&D personnel also need to design the form of function F manually.

  So, what will be the future of AutoML popularization?

  "Humans are liberated from lower-level jobs." Zhao Zhigang said, "If the model design can be done by AI, then AI researchers will explore more the design of the basic modules that make up the model."

  "Developing AI models with AutoML is similar to children playing with ‘ Lego ’ Toys. " Zhao Zhigang put it in simple terms, and the designers of Lego disassembled the whole world into detailed modules, so that everything could be used and then combined into complex models. The higher level of human work is to find basic units, that is, modules, for AI in different fields. For example, in the field of image recognition, humans have designed various modules such as convolution and pooling. "AutoML can build a model based on this, and constantly adjust the module combination to obtain a more reasonable output. The finer the module, the more versatile it can be, and the more self-developed AI can be used. " Zhao Zhigang said.

   Where are the talents needed by the industry?

  Alleviating the shortage of talents is the main selling point of AutoML. "AI systems are blooming everywhere, but AI talents are far behind." Google explains why AutoML is indispensable. What is the current status of AI talents?

  In 2017, the Global AI Talent Report and the BAT Artificial Intelligence Talent Development Report were released one after another. "The shortage of AI talents is real." Xu Wenjuan, vice president of Shengshi Investment Group, said, "The shortage of talents in start-up and development enterprises is particularly serious. From the current global perspective, the United States has the largest number of AI talents, and China’s AI talents can’t be compared with it in terms of number of people and experience. "

  Zhao Zhigang has the same feeling: "China’s AI field is short of veterans, experts, generalists and top masters." The optimization and debugging of the model requires experience, the exquisite design of the model requires superb skills, and the application of AI in various industries requires compound talents. In addition, there are only a handful of top talents leading the development direction of AI, and most of them are abroad.

  Xu Wenjuan introduced that China has the most AI talents in BAT (Baidu, Ali, Tencent). Generally, there are several kinds of background experiences of such talents, such as returnees, BAT work experience, or from universities or research institutes.

  "AI self-development should not be able to replace people’s work in the short term, and there is still a long way to go." Xu Wenjuan said. Zhao Zhigang analyzed from an academic point of view: "Only when human beings design AI models in different application fields and further decompose them into a series of general modules, such as the periodic table of elements in chemistry, DNA and RNA in biology, can this self-development have more applications."

Dong Mingzhu talks about Gree’s change of ownership: it is not full of dissatisfaction, and steady development does not depend on a certain shareholder.

On December 28th, the 4th "Make the World Love Made in China" Summit Forum was moved to the headquarters in Gree Electric, Zhuhai, which was the first large-scale event held at the headquarters after the transfer plan of Gree Electric (000651) was finalized.

When interviewed by reporters after the meeting, Dong Mingzhu, the chairman of Gree Electric, said that he was "not satisfied or dissatisfied with the scheme" when talking about the transfer of control rights. She said that the steady development of Gree Electric over the years is not due to a certain shareholder, but mainly depends on the management team. This time, Zhuhai SASAC withdrew from the position of major shareholder in the hope that Gree Electric would become a more market-oriented listed company.

Dong Mingzhu also stressed that after the transfer of Gree Electric’s controlling stake, there will be "three invariants": the integrity of society, the cultivation of employees and the protection of the legitimate interests of shareholders cannot be changed.

Withdrawal of state-owned assets: in order to establish a more market-oriented system.

On December 15th, Zhuhai SASAC officially approved Gree Group’s plan to transfer 15% of Gree Electric shares to Zhuhai Mingjun. Gree Electric will become a public company without controlling shareholders and actual controllers.

Dong Mingzhu explained that Zhuhai SASAC sold its shares in the hope that Gree Electric would become a truly public company. Dong Mingzhu quoted Guo Yonghang, secretary of Zhuhai Municipal Party Committee, as saying that the government should "show up immediately when enterprises need it;" When enterprises don’t need it, you are far away and keep a clear political and business relationship. " Dong Mingzhu said that the focus of this transfer of Gree’s control right is not the withdrawal of state-owned assets, but the establishment of a market-oriented system for listed companies to operate and develop better.

In addition, the transfer of control rights in Gree Electric was also promoted under the background of the accelerated development of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. "Zhuhai is located in the center of Greater Bay Area. We have more thoughts and positioning for the future construction of Greater Bay Area and the development of Zhuhai. I feel that through this equity transfer, more listed companies will be built for Zhuhai, and (Zhuhai) will become a more market-oriented place that is conducive to the faster development of enterprises. " Dong Mingzhu said that the equity transfer is of far-reaching significance.

According to the announcement on December 2nd, the price for Gree Group to transfer 15% equity of Gree Electric is 41.66 billion yuan. If the transaction is finally made at this price, the takeover party will have a floating profit of 16.6 billion yuan by taking this 15% equity based on the current share price of Gree Electric.

Dong Mingzhu revealed that Gree Electric will build Gree Tower in Hengqin, Zhuhai, to provide some support for the development of Macao. "Although there are more than 10 research institutes and nearly 100 research institutes in Gree Electric, with the diversified development, Gree will build more research institutions. Building Gree Building in Hengqin is a platform to boost Macao’s development and provide talents for the University of Macau and Macau University of Science and Technology. "

Management is the biggest beneficiary? The team is pure.

Gree Electric’s 15% equity was taken over by Zhuhai Mingjun, and behind Zhuhai Mingjun, besides Gaoying Capital, Gree Electric management also participated in the shareholding. Some outsiders believe that the biggest beneficiary of the transfer of control rights in Gree Electric is the management of Gree Electric.

Dong Mingzhu responded that Gree Electric’s management is a pure team. In the past 20 years, it has never been more concerned about the company’s shares. It is bent on making Gree bigger and stronger, and there is no other idea. The development of an enterprise is not supported by capital, but by the innovative culture of the enterprise.

According to CICC’s report, Gree Group’s plan to transfer 15% of Gree Electric’s equity has properly arranged the interests of Gree Electric’s management. Among them, Gree Electric management entity will subscribe Zhuhai Mingjun 2.426 billion yuan, and get 11.10% of the capital contribution; In addition, the management entity obtains 41% of LP investment share (i.e. 20.3% of investment share) from Zhuhai Xianying (GP general partner of Zhuhai Mingjun), and can fully enjoy the management fee and GP income brought by Zhuhai Mingjun. The management entity will distribute 8% of the total GP income to the management and employees who have made important contributions to the listed company. The management entity obtained 41% controlling equity of Zhuhai Yuxiu (GP general partner of Zhuhai Xianying) for RMB 4.305 million, which can indirectly control Zhuhai Mingjun. After the equity transfer is completed, the company will promote the equity incentive plan, with the total amount not exceeding 4% of Gree Electric’s shares.

Are you satisfied with Gaoling Capital? Not satisfied or dissatisfied.

After Gree Electric threw out the intention of equity transfer, Hopu Investment was also very interested in this part of the equity besides Gaoyou Capital, but in the end Gaoyou Capital won.

When asked if he was satisfied with the equity transfer plan, Dong Mingzhu responded that this should be asked to Zhuhai SASAC.

There have been rumors before that the negotiations between Gaochun Capital and Gree management were not smooth. Dong Mingzhu responded: "Any negotiation is not smooth. If it is smooth, it will not be called negotiation." When asked if she was satisfied with the plan, Dong Mingzhu responded: "It is not satisfied or dissatisfied."

When asked how Gree Electric will cooperate or cooperate with its new shareholder, Gaoyan Capital, Dong Mingzhu replied that "at least I haven’t seen it now", and she further said, "If one capital can solve the problems of enterprises, how can we see that so many capitals are exploding today? Therefore, it is not a capital to support the development of enterprises, but the innovation of enterprises to support development. "

Gree Electric business segment readjusted.

Throw out the new strategy of "Internet of Everything" Gree mobile phone released for three generations.

On the same day, Gree Electric released the "Internet of Everything" strategy, and for the first time demonstrated a complete set of intelligent connected home appliances controlled by intelligent voice.

Gree staff demonstrated how to control refrigerators, washing machines, rice cookers, range hoods and other household appliances by voice with Gree IOT air conditioners and Gree IOT mobile phones as entrances.

Dong Mingzhu also personally released Gree Electric’s third-generation smart phone at the scene. On-site PPT shows that Gree’s third-generation mobile phone adopts a 5.99-inch full HD full screen, emphasizes the night shooting algorithm in taking photos, has intelligent IOT buttons, and controls household appliances by voice.

Dong Mingzhu said that every Gree third-generation mobile phone can directly open the "micro store in Dong Mingzhu". "With Gree’s mobile phone, you should buy Gree’s products, otherwise I will remember you."

There are also many controversies about Gree making mobile phones, but from Gree Electric, mobile phones are just an entrance to Gree’s smart home strategy.

Gree Electric has also publicly released four international leading technologies that have been identified-key technologies and applications of rare earth-free reluctance main drive motor system for new energy buses, high-efficiency reluctance variable frequency scroll compressor technology, high-performance linear servo motor and driver, and high-efficiency pneumatic suspension centrifugal compressor.

The latest information displayed in Gree Electric Exhibition Hall shows that Gree Electric’s business has been re-divided into two parts, one is consumption and the other is industry. Previously, Gree Electric’s four business segments included air conditioning, household appliances, communications and intelligent equipment. This also means that the first three sectors are now merged into the consumer sector, highlighting the overall smart home; Intelligent equipment has expanded into the industrial field.

Dong Mingzhu also confirmed the adjustment of the company’s business sector in the interview. She said that the consumer sector is the business that Gree started, and the industrial sector is the heavy weapon of the country. There is no conflict between the two. "Without high-end equipment, you can’t make perfect consumer products, and you won’t be biased."
