Sunflowers fall in love with the sun —— Wang Xiaobo, the representative of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China

  CCTV News:On October 18th, 2017, The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was grandly opened. Comrade Wang Xiaobo, the representative of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and Huaxin Trust Company, and 52 other party representatives from the Central Enterprise System (in Beijing) attended with honor! The representative of party member, who shows the pride of Huadian, how to play a vanguard and exemplary role in his post and how to unite colleagues with the masses, the reporter approached Wang Xiaobo &hellip with curiosity and admiration; …

  Turning over his resume, Wang Xiaobo took up his post in 1993, and worked in finance and auditing positions for more than 20 years. He has been rated as an outstanding party member and advanced worker at all levels for more than a dozen times … … A few days ago, when the reporter came to Wang Xiaobo’s office, the first thing that caught my eye was a photo. A hundred acres of sunflower were competing to open, and a rainbow jumped over the sea of flowers … … Noting the reporter’s observation, he said, "This is July this year, which coincides with the 96th anniversary of the founding of the Party. I took it in the Olympic Park, and it just rained. I think this picture is the most beautiful and should be fixed." He paints this picture with devotion, and his face is as persistent as sunflower and as brilliant as rainbow, which may be the best portrayal of his life.

  Pioneers in hard work.

  Wang Xiaobo’s parents are ordinary people, and Wang Xiaobo’s education since childhood is to "study hard and be a good person". Although it is a simple language, Wang Xiaobo regards it as the motto of family instruction and life. He studies and works all the way, and takes every step steadily. At every critical moment of work, he is resolutely ahead.

  In 2007, focusing on the strategic development of the financial industry, the group company set up a preparatory group of Huaxin Trust Company to reorganize Guangdong Foshan Trust. It was necessary for the government departments of Beijing and Guangdong to report and communicate back and forth, and it was also necessary to find a reorganization partner according to the regulatory requirements. For every member of the preparatory group at that time, it was conceivable that many problems and challenges were faced.

  Working with him is simply desperate. For him, work always comes first. According to the employees who participated in the reorganization, Wang Xiaobo and his colleagues in the finance team went south to Foshan, Guangdong Province for 13 times, and traveled back and forth for more than 50,000 kilometers. During that time, it was almost non-stop. Wang Xiaobo has the drive of "Desperate Saburo". He often burns the midnight oil to calculate accounts. When he is hungry, he eats bowls of instant noodles. When he is sleepy, he takes a nap at his desk. After waking up, he continues to work. Once he even lived in the office for a week. Because his hometown is in Harbin, he rarely has time to go home alone in Beijing. In the two years since the company was reorganized, Wang Xiaobo has never attended a parent-teacher meeting. The old man in the family was seriously ill twice and could not go back because of his busy work. "Dare to challenge the impossible" and "solve the special way out with special ideas". This is a sentence he often says to his colleagues. In 2008, the international financial crisis swept the world, and the two financial institutions originally planned to be introduced as overseas strategic investors were unable to fulfill their capital contribution obligations, which caused the restructuring work to fall into a dilemma and stagnate. Wang Xiaobo and the reorganization team calmly responded, carefully analyzed the internal and external situation, and designed various emergency plans and negotiation strategies. At the negotiation table, he and his colleagues argued with reason and impressed each other with professionalism and patience. After more than 10 times of coordination and negotiation, the Joint Venture Contract and related documents signed by all shareholders were officially terminated.Foreign shareholders announced their withdrawal from corporate restructuring and re-registration, which cleared the way for introducing new shareholders in the next step. With the joint efforts of the preparatory team, the company officially obtained the financial license of China Banking Regulatory Commission on February 9, 2010, and held a grand and enthusiastic opening ceremony in March, thus opening a new chapter in the development of Huaxin Trust.

  Persistence in ordinary posts

  Wang Xiaobo is in charge of the Trust Finance Department, which is mainly responsible for the fund transfer, interest collection and payment of all trust business projects. Every day, hundreds of millions or even billions of funds flow, and the losses caused by a slight mistake are unimaginable. In recent years, 1,540 trust projects led by Wang Xiaobo have accumulated 43,000 receipts and payments with an asset management scale of 940 billion yuan, and none of them have operational risks, thus realizing accurate transfer of funds. Due to the large daily capital flow, the capital cost that affects the company one day may be hundreds of thousands or even millions. Wang Xiaobo often said that "saving a penny is easier than earning a penny, and we should take safeguarding the interests of the company as the maximum". He closely followed the deployment of "improving quality, increasing efficiency and refined management" required by the group company, implemented the methods of "grouping projects and double checking", constantly optimized the time node, personally audited and ensured that each fund went in and out on schedule, and improved the efficiency of capital utilization.

  However, who would have thought that the "financial housekeeper" who manages such a large asset turned out to be a "layman" in the trust industry.

  "I have been dealing with generator sets and coal fuel data for half my life. I just served as the director of operations and the general manager of the trust finance department. When I was in charge of the trust finance work, my heart was really a little embarrassed, just like ‘ Catch the exam ’ As ",Wang Xiaobo said with deep feeling.

  "Catch the exam" is a kind of mentality, but also a kind of wisdom. Facing the brand-new field, in order to build the financial management framework of the company, he went to the advanced units of the industry to study and investigate during the day, was busy with affairs, consulted materials and arranged notes at night, and taught himself knowledge of law, securities, trust, financial enterprise management and other aspects. It is with the drive of "I can’t understand, I can’t understand, and I will never give up" that he drafted eight financial rules and regulations and two accounting methods, initially established an accounting system in line with the company’s actual situation, and launched the trust operation system by means of information technology, becoming the first in the industry.

  Wang Xiaobo served as the director of the company’s project evaluation committee, responsible for the first pass of the company’s business project review, and also served as a member of the risk control committee and the investment committee. He has participated in more than 100 project establishment, risk control and investment committee meetings and reviewed more than 10,000 related materials. Combining with the reality of trust business, he put forward the financial risk concept of strengthening financial attributes, intervening in projects in advance, giving full play to financial functions and controlling financial risks. In the process of project review, analysis, contract conclusion, etc., risks are revealed from the financial perspective in time, the context of project financial management is sorted out, and financial supervision is implemented, thus effectively fulfilling the financial supervision function. "The financial industry is an industry that manages risks, and no project is not the purpose … …” . He gave full play to his financial expertise, enthusiastically put forward ideas and ways for the business department, optimized and adjusted the trading scheme, and avoided the company’s risks to the maximum extent, so as to promote the project landing.

  The responsibility of the secretary of the grass-roots branch

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized at the meeting on strengthening Party building in state-owned enterprises that upholding Party leadership and strengthening Party building are the "roots" and "souls" of state-owned enterprises. The Party Group of the Group Company has solidly promoted the normalization and institutionalization of the "two studies and one doing" study and education, strengthened the construction of the Party branch, and strived to build the grass-roots Party branch into a school that educates party member, the core that unites the masses, and a fortress that overcomes difficulties.

  Wang Xiaobo is the secretary of the third Party branch in the company. "Where there are difficulties, there is party member Pioneer ‘ Training ground ’ " . This sentence has been called hard and loud in the third party branch where Wang Xiaobo is located. Over the past few years, he and party member, the branch, have highlighted the characteristics of Party building and functional posts, taken the actions of "building meritorious service" and "service development" as the basic carriers, condensed the "spirit" of the officers, and given full play to the role of Party building as a leader and an example in promoting enterprise development.

  He sorted out the "family background" of the fifteen party member managers one by one, aiming at the characteristics of the branch party member, such as active young thoughts, scattered jurisdiction departments, high personnel mobility, heavy performance indicators, and weak awareness of party member under the market-oriented conditions. On the one hand, he used his rest time to study the party’s theoretical books and asked the experienced "old party affairs" for working methods; On the one hand, he strengthened the "top-level design" of party building, and explored and implemented the "1+3" party building work method, that is, he built a platform (party member activity day every week) and carried out "a manual (branch work manual), a promise (party member promises to keep his promise) and a pairing (party member people pairing)". "Ideological work needs to be combined with the actual situation of party member team to carry out targeted education … …”

  In his work, he paid attention to innovating the learning management mode of party member, promoted the "micro-party class", and let each party member in the branch take turns to "go to the podium and be a teacher" to exchange learning experiences. He combined the study and education of "two studies and one doing" to carry out the evaluation of party member’s demonstration posts and party member’s promise, celebrated a "political birthday" for all party member, and constantly strengthened party member’s consciousness. He actively innovated the contents, methods and channels of ideological and political work, established the "WeChat Party Branch", used the network to organize party member Education to regularly push learning materials, conducted thematic discussions on "Love Huaxin means love yourself" and "What is party member like", and organized party member to visit the New Culture Memorial Hall and the Li Dazhao Martyrs Cemetery on the spot to review the pledge of joining the Party and inherit the red gene.

  The backbone of the staff and the masses

  It is the employees’ evaluation of Wang Xiaobo that they have sincere feelings and love for the Party, the cause and the masses. No matter what position he is in, Wang Xiaobo always keeps in mind that his first identity is a Communist party member, but party member should enhance the masses’ "sense of gain" by contacting and serving the masses.

  My office doesn’t need a gate. Wang Xiaobo likes to talk with employees, communicate in a harmonious atmosphere, handle problems properly when talking and laughing, and guide employees to smile at life with his life insights. There are many young people in the financial industry, and they are more eager for early growth and self-realization with high academic qualifications and high quality. As a senior accountant, he took the initiative to compile relevant teaching plans and practical financial operations, and guided young people to take the first step in the workplace. He also took the initiative to share his growth experience, impart financial experience and understand workplace rules … … . In the past seven years, two department heads have been sent out in the department he manages, and more than 10 employees in the department have become experts in trust finance.

  "Wang Xiaobo is my eldest brother … …” Interview with young and middle-aged employee Xiao Han told reporters. People who don’t know the situation think that he is a relative of Wang Xiaobo’s family. In fact, this person is not related to him at all, just an ordinary employee of the department. It turns out that Han provided lives in the countryside, and his family conditions are average. The elderly in the family have a stroke and need to be hospitalized urgently. Wang Xiaobo found Han provided after learning the situation. On the one hand, he calmed his emotions, did a good job in ideological work, and let him take care of his father with peace of mind and let go of his ideological burden. On the one hand, he helped to contact the hospital for surgical treatment. He also sent solatium of the trade union to Han provided at the first time, saying, "If you need me, I will be your big brother if I am a few years older than you.".

  I am your big brother, which tells Wang Xiaobo’s inner monologue, and even tells the simplest feelings of a Communist party member for the masses. Over the years, employees have regarded the department as their home, and no employee has jumped ship at will; Young employees will take the initiative to talk to him when they are confused, and he will patiently help them solve their doubts; Who has an emergency, he took the initiative to help tide over the difficulties … … He is so warm-hearted that he regards his employees as his relatives.

  When the interview was coming to an end, the reporter asked him what he expected from the 19th National Congress. He said simply: "My first identity is Communist party member, and my first responsibility is to work for the party. Being elected as the representative of the 19th National Congress this time is the trust of party organizations and comrades, and it is also my greatest honor. I have nothing to say, that is, taking this election as a powerful driving force, I will shine at the grassroots level and reassure the organization." The simple language speaks Wang Xiaobo’s heart.

Parrot Killing, why can’t it be an event in life?


Special feature of 1905 film network Douban 6.3 points, 4 days box office 25 million.


In 2021, films starring directors, actors and actresses were shortlisted for the Young Directors Project Unit of Shanghai International Film Festival, which gained great attention in the industry.


After the film was released two years later, some netizens claimed that it had the greatest emotional impact among similar anti-fraud themes, and it was a complicated female story, praising Zhou Dongyu and Zhang Yu for their screen charm and superb acting skills.


Some netizens also sharply criticized "the genre film that I thought was true, and as a result, the audience found themselves in the killing pig plate" and "there is a feeling of temporarily changing the script after watching" Put All Your Eggs on Fire ".


Also released in September, Hehe is also a venture capital project: "Yong ‘an Town Tales" was selected as the venture capital of the 2020 Film Festival; The Love History of Sangui won the most potential director award at Golden Rooster Film Venture Capital Conference and the winning project jointly recommended by investors and the winning project selected by genre optimization in Beijing International Film Festival.


After landing in the cinema, The Tales of Yong ‘an Town currently has a box office of less than 3 million, and The Love Story of Three Nobles has a box office of more than 4 million, all of which have encountered a dilemma in the market.



Harmony, which stands out from the venture capital platform, is a new director’s work with a double harvest in box office and word of mouth in the previous two years. But this year, there is no movie that has gone from venture capital to release and achieved a box office of over 100 million.


10 venture capital projects completed and released.

"Cosmos" is the most eye-catching, with a minimum box office of only 125,000.


According to the incomplete statistics of 1905 Film Network, among the films released in the cinema in 2023, 11 films have been selected as venture capital units of major domestic film festivals or new director support programs. From February to November, basically, at least one movie hatched and finished from venture capital enters the cinema market every month.


Of the 10 films that have been released, 3 have grossed more than 10 million yuan: "Parrot Kill"; 3 box offices are less than 500,000:; Four box offices are in the million-dollar range: Umbilical Cord, Tales of Yong ‘an Town and Love History of Three Nobles.



From the perspective of market performance, only Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department is the most outstanding and successful, with more than 67 million box office, and high score evaluation on the platform of Cat Taodou, which is generally affirmed by fans and the public. The lowest box office was "The Wild Cafe", with only 125,000.


The market results of other films are not ideal, especially Street Kids. Although the film is the work of a new director, the cast is not "new" — — And the company’s 7 impressions were created and produced, with Guan Hu as the producer and Liang Jing as the chief producer, starring,,, and so on.


Street Baby was praised by the venture capital units of Shanghai International Film Festival, Pingyao International Film Festival and Hainan Island International Film Festival at the venture capital stage. After the film was completed, it was shortlisted as a concern unit of Cannes Film Festival and won many honors such as the best actress at Pingyao Film Festival. Unfortunately, when this work is aimed at cinema audiences, the box office figure is only 164,000.



Venture Capital is a comprehensive trading platform that is dedicated to exploring the new strength of excellent films and creating investment, production, marketing and publicity for high-quality film projects. Venture capital provides a comprehensive stage for fledgling young directors and their projects, but once they enter the logical ecology of commercial development, the film can be shown in the cinema and achieved good results, and the difficulty is higher than that of completing the film.


Take Shanghai Film Festival, the earliest venture capital unit in China, as an example. Shanghai Film Festival Venture Capital has been successfully held for 15 sessions since 2007, and a total of 63 films have been shown in cinemas. On average, more than 10 or 20 venture capital projects are finally selected every year, and only about one-fifth of the 15 projects can reach the cinema smoothly.


After the venture capital project is released, the market performance is basically inseparable from three "outstanding" elements: outstanding type, outstanding lineup and outstanding quality.


Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department won the Best Original Screenplay Award of the Film and Television Venture Capital Association of the China Science Fiction Conference in 2019. At that time, the judges, as well as the top management of China Film and Ali, finally became the producers of this film.



The reason why the box office of the film exceeded expectations lies in the prominence of science fiction+comedy, the strength of the behind-the-scenes team, and the prominence of the film itself in the comprehensive aspects of story, performance, image and expression.


Compared with Street Kids, even with a strong cast and honorary awards, the literary story expression and insufficient quality evaluation (Douban 6.2) have hindered the possibility of the film breaking through in the cinema market.



Both Parrot Killing and Gentle Shell belong to emotional films, which are not the strong type and emotional films favored by the mainstream of the market, because there are practical issues such as "killing pigs" and "mental illness" to add color to the packaging. Zhou Dongyu and Zhang Yu’s "Starlight" lineup will attract more attention than the movie "Rambo Knocking", which is also a realistic literary expression and a pure amateur cast.



Umbilical Cord and Love History of Three Nobles are both from two newcomers, female directors, and they are both supervised by producers. They try to make breakthroughs and explorations in domestic minority themes and fairy tale fantasy love types respectively, which is worth encouraging. Yao Chen’s film company, Bad Rabbit Film, is in charge of "Umbilical Cord" and takes photos; Yao Chen co-starred in The Love Story of Three Nobles, and the cast included, etc.


Regrettably, the genre themes of the two films are still relatively unpopular. Even with the help of a strong cast and famous actors, it is difficult to become a big dark horse in the same competition, even if they do not reach a high level in quality or surprise the public.



Venture Capital → Cinema → Xuanfa

How to become "Life Events"?


In the short-listed projects of major venture capital platforms in China, the investment scale and production volume are often not too large, and there are literary films and genre films. Because it is the first or early work of a new director, the author’s expression or artistic attribute is often heavy and not very commercial. (except for the venture capital meeting for genre films)


Even if the original text of the project is literary and artistic, if it can be commercialized again, it can "turn the stone into gold" in the market. Many film companies aim at this kind of works with commercial potential on the venture capital platform, and Life Events is the most classic case in recent years.


In 2019, the film won the attention of Lianrui Film through Pingyao Venture Capital. The script was originally named "Going to Heaven", combining the director’s own family history, focusing on the funeral culture in North China and the group story of little people. When Lianrui took charge of this project, the film also changed qualitatively.


"I didn’t expect to come in. I didn’t expect to be able to make such a big cinema-scale movie." Liu Jiangjiang once told the 1905 film network that from Going to Heaven to Life Events, he was willing to abandon the expression of a smaller group of people and devote himself to creating more popular commercial films. The film was also a great success, winning over 1.7 billion box office.



For venture capital projects that can’t be adjusted and insist on making literary films, when the works are finished, it is more necessary to find the audience accurately, so that there will be opportunities to return to the original and make profits.


However, at present, there is no cultural atmosphere for watching literary films and art films on a large scale in China and a complete and mature art cinema, and there is a lack of art cinema construction in various places. The director’s new literary work is being prepared for release. He thinks, "It is unrealistic to expect that art films have to have a box office of 100 million yuan in commercial cinemas. I hope that the media and Xuanfa can try their best to care for domestic literary films and give them a crack. I hope that the commercial market can be more inclusive of literature and art and give more seats to literary films. "


Since the current film market mechanism is like this, it is even more necessary for literary films to "use a good knife on the cutting edge" and use accurate publicity strategies after landing in the cinema.


The Tales of Yong ‘an Town was shortlisted for the director’s biweekly unit of Cannes International Film Festival and won the best director of Pingyao International Film Festival, with a douban score of 7.4 and a good reputation. But why is the box office not as bright as the "Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department" that was amazing and Pingyao at the beginning?


The film focuses on the plot and lines, such as "A toast to Chinese movies" and "Nothing will happen in Yong ‘an Town", and pays too much attention to the literary direction, while the road show mode of routine operation and the lack of topics in the network and short video positions are the crux.



How to attract more viewers to pay for a film like Parrot Killing, which is difficult to locate simply by genre and literature, from creation to release?


In the presentation session of the venture capital roadshow of Shanghai Film Festival, producer Don He said that the story of "Parrot Killing" can be filmed in three dimensions: making a film purely discussing women’s psychology at low cost; Balance the author’s exploration of characters’ emotions and the suspense types of women’s anti-killing with the cost of medium weight; Make a commercial film with high cost.


After communicating with the director, Don River chose the second scheme. Obviously, after the film was released, it was questioned: on the one hand, the results of the creation were controversial; On the other hand, the film vigorously promotes the dramatic fraud scene before the screening, but the film itself pays more attention to the introverted subtle expression of the emotional wrestling between women and fraudsters, which makes many viewers have an expected gap and is difficult to understand.



From "Love Myth" and "Life Events", since the establishment of major domestic venture capital platforms, a number of well-received and well-received masterpieces have come out. Venture capital is only the "first stop" for new directors and new projects to make public appearances. Only by continuously polishing good content and finding the right way to hit the audience can it be turned into an equation to win the market.

Sellers’ net profit in the first quarter turned positive, and new energy exploration achieved initial results in eight years.

Cyrus achieved a positive net profit in the first quarter of 2024. On April 29th, Cyrus announced that its revenue in the first quarter was 26.561 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 421.76%. The net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 220 million yuan, and the gross profit margin in the first quarter increased to 21.5%.

For Cyrus, this means entering a benign development stage in the new energy vehicle track. At the press conference of Beijing Auto Show, Zhang Xinghai, the chairman of Cyrus Group, has set a higher goal for the future. "Cyrus is reshaping luxury with wisdom, exploring the’ new luxury’ of’ traditional luxury+technological luxury’, and letting more China people drive luxury cars made in China."

Strong growth in new energy vehicle business: Sellers’ net profit turned positive in the first quarter.

Sailis started from Silicon Valley in 2016 and transformed into a high-end intelligent electric vehicle track. After eight years of new energy exploration and three years of cross-border integration, it has built three electric vehicles. In the first quarter of this year, Sailis achieved a positive net profit, and its gross profit margin continued to improve to 21.5%, which also confirmed the initial success of its new energy vehicle strategy and became a strong growth engine to promote performance.

In contrast, Tesla, as a pioneer and leader of new energy vehicles in the world, took 17 years to make a profit; BYD experienced a long period of "increasing income without increasing profit" before it ushered in the harvest period; It took LI eight years to make a profit for the first time.

Looking back on 2023, the competition in China automobile market is extremely fierce, and the "price war" runs through. In the face of the serious involution market environment, the new energy automobile business of Cyrus ushered in an outbreak in the second half of the year. The data shows that the operating income in the fourth quarter of 2023 was 19.162 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 74.49%; In the fourth quarter, the sales volume of new energy vehicles was 82,700, up 88.39% year-on-year, and both the operating income and the sales volume of new energy vehicles reached record highs.

In the first quarter of this year, it continued to maintain a strong growth momentum, benefiting from the increase in sales of new energy vehicles. In the first quarter of 2024, the net cash flow generated by operating activities was 1.187 billion yuan. At the same time, technological innovation and large-scale production have gradually reduced the realization cost, and the gross profit margin in the first quarter has greatly improved, further promoting the company’s profit growth.

AITO series continues to sell well, technology research and development drives innovation.

Behind the substantial increase in performance, it is inseparable from the hot sales of AITO series products jointly designed by Kailisi and Huawei. The series of models represented by AITO’s new M7 and M9 became explosive when they went on the market. In the first quarter of this year, the cumulative sales volume of AITO’s entire department broke 80,000, ranking among the top five luxury brands in China market and becoming the highest ranked China brand in the list.

Up to now, the number of auto users in AITO has approached 300,000. With the listing of the new M5 in AITO, the product matrix of high-end smart cars continues to be rich, and the market scale is expected to be further expanded. Many institutional research reports are optimistic about the growth of Cyrus. China Merchants Securities believes that the sales of the new M7 and M9 in Wenjie continue to climb, and the new M5 in Wenjie is listed, and the company’s sales have entered a benign turning point, optimistic about the subsequent continuous heavy volume.

It is worth mentioning that under the extremely involuted environment of the industry, Sailis has always maintained its strategic strength, formed its first-Mover advantage and accumulated advantage through large-scale R&D investment, achieved a leap in product quality through technological innovation, and finally transformed scientific and technological achievements into enterprise benefits. The data shows that in 2023, the R&D investment was 3.348 billion yuan, accounting for 12.38% of the operating income, which is the deep-seated reason why Cyrus can cross the industrial ups and downs cycle and also played a key role in turning the net profit into a positive one.

The Cyrus Rubik’s Cube platform, which was unveiled at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, integrates industry-leading technologies such as safety, power, chassis and software across domains, bringing users a "easy-to-drive, easy-to-use and super-safe" car experience. When China’s new energy vehicles enter the second half, their own technical accumulation and accurate prediction of the future will become the key to winning or losing. From this point of view, the future of Cyrus can be expected.

From "Actor Hui" to "Director Hui", Zhang Jiahui needs a total of several steps

When it comes to Zhang Jiahui, what is the first reaction that comes to mind?

I believe that many people will think of "Golden Elephant Golden Horse Double Actor", "Personal Struggle Becomes Legendary" and "Divine Acting" in their hearts, but Zhang Jiahui’s career as an actor has not been smooth sailing. He is not like other celebrities who have been sought after by the public and the company as soon as they debut. We all say that he is a "late bloomer".

Zhang Jiahui loved watching police and gangster movies since he was a child, and he was also deeply influenced by his father who was a police officer, so 17-year-old Zhang Jiahui was admitted to the police academy and became a police officer. After four years as a police officer, Zhang Jiahui wanted to apply to be a plainclothes police officer and was rejected, so he simply quit his job.

Later, Zhang Jiahui mistakenly entered Li *******’s universal film company through the introduction of his classmates, and was appreciated by Li *******. The first play was the male protagonist. But it did not bring Zhang Jiahui the popularity that a male protagonist should have, so he had to go on the run. In the process, he has been playing a small role calmly and diligently.

In Wang Jing’s 1999 film, Zhang Jiahui was the main character, but he was upstaged by Stephen Chow in a supporting role, who was paid millions for only nine days of acting.

Thick accumulation is bound to thin hair, and his persistence and diligence brought him good luck. In the same year, his films finally won him the most important award nomination since he joined the industry – the nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the 18th Hong Kong Film Awards. At this time, he was already 31 years old, and for an actor, he had waited long enough.

Later, Zhang Jiahui married Guan Yonghe, the head of ATV who had been in love for many years, and his film career also entered a new stage.

If before 2005, Zhang Jiahui’s performance impression was centered on the image of gambling comedies, then in Johnnie To’s performance, he completely turned the audience’s impression upside down. He used the performance power he had accumulated for many years to play a stubborn police officer to shock people, whether it was the character’s emotional transformation or the state of the explosion.

In 2008, it was a major turning point in Zhang Jiahui’s life – he won five Best Actor trophies in one fell swoop with "Witness", including the Golden Horse Best Actor and the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Actor! The complex psychological state of the characters in the film, the contradictory personality, and the well-controlled emotions of the characters, he portrayed a hateful and pitiful tragic character very well.

Since then, he has continued to break his own records. In 2002, he starred in the role of Mute, and in order to create this role, Zhang Jiahui spent a year exercising his figure and trying to eat food that even dogs don’t eat. Hard work pays off, and Zhang Jiahui’s role as Mute is full of forbearance, unwillingness and anger, which makes us feel what real pain is. The film also won him a nomination for Best Actor at the 49th Golden Horse Awards and Best Actor at the 32nd Hong Kong Film Awards!

In 2013, it was the peak of Zhang Jiahui’s acting skills. At the age of 46, Zhang Jiahui trained his body like a real boxer and conquered the judges with his acting skills, winning 10 Best Actor awards!

After refining his acting skills, Zhang Jiahui chose to be a director and successfully directed two works and was called one of the few successful horror films by netizens in recent years.

Now, Zhang Jiahui will meet you on April 28th with his third work directed and acted by himself! This police and bandit action drama has invited Xu Jinglei, He Jiong, Yu Nan, Miao Qiaowei, Yuan Hua, Zhang Keyi, Lin Xue, Zhang Jicong, Qin Pei, Ni Dahong and other acting and powerful actors to join. The gloomy and low tone of the film, the hot scenes of car chasing and gunfight, and the human proposition of entanglement between good and evil have all added a lot of highlights to this May 1st only action movie.

On April 28th, the first mainland public film directed by Zhang Jiahui is about to be released. He has won the Academy Award for his police and gangster films. Don’t you look forward to the films directed by Zhang Jiahui, who has a police background and has accumulated a lot of hair?

Monster charging battery life quality road

Technological innovation, standards leading, service empowering

– – Monster charging battery life quality road

Monster Charging has only been established for 4 years, and has developed from an entrepreneurial recruit to an industry leader. How can an industry recruit stand out in the industry with strong hands, how to meet the changing market demand, and how to ensure that the service is not left behind under the rapidly growing user scale? Challenges have made Monster Charging team more and more brave, and it has won the recognition of both merchants and users with service and quality. As a new army in the industry, Monster Charging has become the first company in the industry in less than 4 years. Relying on strong Internet of Things technology, big data analytics capabilities, and battery technology, Monster Charging provides shared charging services in multiple scenarios for more than 286 million users around the world. By the end of 2021, Monster Charging will serve 1700 + regions across the country, with 845,000 points (POI).

Breaking the stock, based on the scene to consolidate the scale

Unlike many Internet industries that directly talk to users, the shared charging industry implements a B2B2C model, in other words, as long as you capture the merchant (B), you can reach the majority of users (C). The diversity of merchants determines the diversification of shared charging application scenarios, which directly affects the height of the industry ceiling.

The catering scene where the shared power bank started is one of the scenarios with the highest penetration rate in the industry at present. The competition in the stock market is often extremely fierce. Nowadays, in a large number of small and medium-sized catering stores and retail stores, it is very common for multiple shared charging brands to coexist. In this context, breaking into the incremental market has almost become the unanimous choice of the head shared charging companies. As an industry leader, Monster Charging has long jumped out of the fierce battle of first-line catering, constantly unlocking new scenarios, seeking a diverse scene layout, and entering the user incremental market.

During the epidemic, rigid demand scenarios such as medical care, transportation, and hotels have become incremental markets against the trend. According to the "China Shared Power Bank Industry Insights 2020" released by Analysys International, during the epidemic, "convenience" has become the key word for the layout of the shared charging industry scene. Since 2020, Monster Charging has continuously deepened the layout of public convenience service scenarios, and established cooperation with Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-speed Railway, Xi’an Railway Group, Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, Hangzhou Metro, Nanjing Metro, Shanghai Ferry, Shenzhen Sun Yat-sen University Affiliated Hospital, and United Family Hospital. On the front line of urban anti-epidemic, Monster Charging has solved the worries of front-line workers by providing free emergency charging services to epidemic prevention point healthcare workers and community volunteers.

After several years of development, the market’s acceptance of shared charging as a convenient service has reached a high level, and at this time, Monster Charging has also begun to build a charging network in sinking cities with the help of large chain merchants. In June 2021, Monster Charging joined hands with KFC to open 3,000 points across the country.

According to the "Shared Charging Industry Report for the First Half of 2021" released by Euromonitor International, in the first half of 2021, Monster Charging maintained its leading position in the industry with a GMV share of 40.1%, and consolidated its leading position in the industry by deepening cooperation with leading KA.

The report pointed out that the first half of 2021 shared charging industry still maintained a high growth rate, the first half of the industry GMV (total transaction volume) of about 5.28 billion yuan, an increase of 5.9%. In the second half of the year, due to the continuous increase in points, long holidays, the number of trips is expected to rise and other reasons, it is expected that the GMV of 2021 will exceed 10 billion yuan.

Brand-driven, helping audiences continue to break through circles

As a technology consumer brand facing 100 million users, Monster Charging clearly recognizes the serious problem of product homogeneity in the shared charging industry. Exploring forward, Monster Charging has found an important growth engine for the brand – understanding and meeting the consumer needs and emotional demands of the new generation of "consumer powerhouses" such as Generation Z. Therefore, even in the early stage, Monster Charging maintains its own unique brand tone.

At the end of 2018, Monster Charging had in-depth insights into user behavior and related preferences, and held hands with Luhan Wish Season to launch the "Practice Public Welfare Uninterrupted Power" treasure hunt for the first time in the city. The event attracted more than 20 million people to experience the customized treasure of Luhan Wish Season, and the total exposure on all major platforms exceeded 120 million people. The successful landing of the event opened the prelude to the integration of Monster Charging’s strong IP. Then, in order to quickly occupy the minds of users, Monster Charging’s high-frequency leveraged the influence of stars and classic IP to accelerate the penetration of fans, two-dimensional yuan and other young people gathered in the cultural circle.

Through the original "treasure hunt in the whole city" activity created by Monster Charging, Monster Charging and its partners have created many excellent cross-border marketing cases beyond the rigid demand of charging. For example, cooperation with stars such as Wu Qingfeng and Wang Jiayer, as well as IP linkage with Marvel, LINE FRIENDS, Nautical King set sail, and Dare to reach the decisive battle. In the current new context of consumption upgrading and consumer behavior becoming increasingly symbolic, with the help of its own original omni-channel marketing model, Monster Charging has found new opportunities in further digging channel value, expanding user retention, and brand value precipitation – using the innovative combination of modern technology and traditional cultural symbols to empower brands to achieve both economic and social benefits.

In recent years, Monster Charging has launched a number of creative treasure products such as Mahjong Treasure, Five Elements Treasure, Huacai Treasure, Regional Treasure, and Intangible Cultural Heritage Treasure across the country. The launch of Creative Treasure coincides with the rise of the national tide and the recovery of national aesthetics. On the one hand, Monster Charging draws content and innovative nutrients from excellent traditional culture, leveraging existing traditional cultural elements and highly imaginative presentations to reduce the cost of brands being discovered and remembered. On the other hand, as a technology consumer enterprise, Monster Charging relies on service networks and creative treasures to bring culture to people, and then combines the forms of treasure hunting in the whole city, online interactive H5, topic marketing, and cross-border cooperation with intangible cultural heritage to spread excellent culture and "awaken" consumers’ memory and cultural confidence in traditional art.

As a result, Monster Charging has also turned from a well-known "shared charging service operator" to a "participant in Guochao creative products". 12 creative treasures including Huacaibao, intangible heritage treasure, and regional treasure won the "Annual Innovative Creative Products" of the 2021 Future Life Festival and the "Guochao New Fashion and Trendy Products List" of the 2021 Guochao New Consumer Conference respectively.

In addition to audience circles, the endless brand ideas of Monster Charging have undoubtedly had a huge feedback effect on its main power bank business. In November 2020, Monster Charging Strategy signed a contract with Shanghai Disney Resort, becoming the first official partner of Shanghai Disney Resort to share charging services. The "Disney version" of Monster Charging Cabinets is perfectly integrated into the park attractions. In places such as Barbosa BBQ in Treasure Bay, Pinocchio Country Kitchen in Dream World, and Star Terrace Restaurant in Tomorrow’s World, the colorful and varied Monster Charging Cabinets allow tourists to enjoy convenient services while immersing themselves in the original Disney story experience.

Quality first, ensure complete service life

At the beginning of the birth of the shared charging industry, the development was not as rapid as it is today. The root cause was the service and quality of the product that held back. The rise of Monster Charging is precisely after gaining insight into consumer needs, it opened up the market with more perfect, advanced and intelligent products. Monster Charging’s software and hardware products have undergone layer-by-layer optimization from desktop fixed charging seat to "three-wire in one" mobile power bank, from scanning code return to direct plug return treasure, from payment of deposit to multi-platform credit free deposit, etc., solving the problems of incompatible device charging interface and complicated operation process, and gradually lowering the threshold for users to use. Convenient and easy to obtain, and the characteristics of borrowing and returning at any time meet the users’ short-term, emergency and external instant charging needs.

At present, all shared power banks on the market use lithium-ion batteries as energy storage media. In order to maintain a good use experience, the medium has certain requirements for temperature and cycle times. As a product that consumers "never leave their hands", in the "shared" use environment, the safety and stability of the product determine the consumer’s use experience and reputation.

In terms of safety, Monster Charging is based on the mature domestic mobile power supply hardware supply chain resources, combining solid hardware production technology with advanced Internet of Things technology. In long-term market practice, through the continuous optimization of software and hardware technology, it has realized flexible monitoring of key indicators such as online shared power bank performance and safety. With the support of the experienced Xiaomi ecological chain, Monster Charging detects various abnormal situations such as hardware overtemperature, overcurrent, foreign objects, and malicious damage 24/7. At present, the company’s products have passed CCC certification, SRRC certification, CQC certification, UL certification, air and sea transportation certification and other product safety certifications. It is also the first shared charging brand in the industry to hold the new national standard certification of mobile power supply (GB/T 35590-2017). Since then, Monster Charging has also independently developed a complete set of bottom-level Internet of Things communication protocols, applying Internet of Things technology and big data platform to monitor end point devices in real time, effectively reducing the probability of pop-up failure treasure, and with the help of self-developed digital management system to refine auxiliary front-line operations, to provide guarantee for continuous and stable output services.

In order to enhance the company’s all-round competitiveness, Monster Charging obtained ISO270001:2013 information security management system certification in 2020, ISO9001 series quality management system certification in 2021, and has continued to complete the three-level filing of information security protection for many years. From the aspects of quality system, information security and other aspects to continuously serve the majority of merchants and consumers to build a whole security system.

In terms of Client Server, Monster Charging provides 7 × 24-hour OurHours, omnichannel service access, real-time dynamic big data monitoring, achieving 15-second service response, adhering to the user-first value, and creating a closed-loop service to ensure the service response and service experience of merchants and consumers.

With high-quality and comprehensive service and stable and safe product quality, Monster Charging has become a service provider for many official event venues. From the two consecutive CIIE in Shanghai to large-scale exhibitions such as the Beijing International Book Fair and the Beijing Wedding Expo, it has continued to provide convenient and efficient portable charging services for guests, staff and volunteers from all over the world.

The industry broke down, and the market ushered in the spring of agents

Penguin think tank released the "lower-tier market consumption & entertainment white paper" shows that in the third-tier and below, the scale of mobile Internet users aged 18-45 in the lower-tier market is about 396 million, and the average daily time of Internet users is more than 5 hours, of which 25.8% is more than 8 hours.

In the process of urbanization construction, the business development of the lower-tier market is changing with each passing day. With the continuous downward penetration of first-line internet services, the demand for power renewal in multiple scenarios has begun to appear. A number of areas dominated by agents have also emerged all over the country. For shared charging head enterprises, after the competition in the past few years, relying only on self-operated teams has been unable to meet market demand. With agents and franchisees as the main ones, it has become an inevitable choice to penetrate into the deeper lower-tier market.

In 2022, shared charging companies led by Monster Charging have come up with the latest investment promotion policies. Some areas that were originally dominated by small brands will face the competition of leading brands this year. Leading companies will reduce the dimensionality of small and medium-sized players in terms of products, services and merchant policies.

Generally speaking, the accumulation of leading brands in product quality and after-sales services is more friendly to agents entering the industry for the first time; while the agent will give priority to the big brand sharing power bank industry, there is no obvious strong and weak relationship between the brand and the agent. Most of the cooperation between the two parties is based on two-way selection – the agent will give priority to the big brand, and the brand will also favor the agent with more resources in the regional market. As a leader in the shared power bank industry and a listed company, Monster Charging also has many advantages in supporting the agent. For example, Monster Charging has accumulated a complete set of business experience system for the training of agents. Its training content is rich and detailed, including the negotiation process and summary of words for various industries and various stores. In addition to technical support and after-sales support, Monster Charging’s channel managers have also been refined to the municipal level. On average, every 2 to 3 prefecture-level cities will have a full-time channel manager to provide agents with one-to-one operational assistance.

Industry experts pointed out that in order to accelerate the construction of agency channels, major shared power bank brands have tried their best. The lowering of the agency threshold will bring new business opportunities to the industry and agents.

The "China Sharing Economy Development Report (2022) " released by the State Information Center recently pointed out that the competition in the field of shared power banks will continue to intensify, the advantages of leading enterprises will be further strengthened, the brand effect will be more prominent, and the survival and development of tail brands will face greater pressure. At the moment of repeated epidemics and intensified competition, with the continuous investment of leading enterprises in agents, the industry may have a new inflection point. Monster Charging, which holds the two "golden keys" of quality and service, will also meet new challenges and embark on a new journey. (Data source: Monster Charging)

"China Quality News"

Wild animals "enter the city" from time to time, and experts talk about how to live in harmony.

This article was transferred from Xinhua News Agency;
Xinhua News Agency, Shanghai, June 5, news, a group of Asian elephants entered Kunming all the way north, the northeast tiger Wandashan No.1 broke into the village, and raccoons appeared in more than 100 communities in Shanghai … Recently, wild animals have entered human habitats from time to time in many places. What should we do about this? The reporter visited the team of Professor Wang Fang from the School of Life Sciences of Fudan University to explore the management of urban wildlife, and looked for the answer together.
There are many "animal residents" in the city.
In Shanghai, a survey about "animal residents" is going on. There are 12 investigation areas and 300 infrared cameras specially designed for wild animals. With the support of Shanghai Forestry Bureau and other relevant departments, Wang Fang’s team hopes to get a demonstration plan for urban wildlife management through one or two years of follow-up.
"The wildlife in the city is not just as simple as protecting it." Wang Fang’s research found that the number of some wild species in cities increased rapidly and their distribution range was also expanding. Take raccoons as an example. In 2015, raccoons were found in more than 40 communities in Shanghai. By 2020, the number of raccoons in Shanghai will reach more than 150, an increase of more than 2 times.

With the increase of "animal residents", the contact and conflict between people and animals have increased accordingly. Research shows that when there are less than two raccoons per hectare, people will hardly feel the existence of raccoons, but when the number exceeds five, it will affect people’s lives. According to the statistics of the team, in 2020, there were about 1,000 complaints about wild animals disturbing people in Shanghai, some of whom were troubled by the excrement and noise of raccoons, while others were frightened by raccoons. In addition to raccoons, citizens are also uneasy about the existence of bats. In 2021, there were complaints about the destruction of gardens by red-bellied squirrels.
At the same time, the habits of raccoons have also changed quietly: from living alone to group activities, from staying up all day and going out all night, from being afraid of people to approaching people actively. "The biggest change is their attitude towards people and the human world." Wang Fang said, "In the past, people ran immediately when they saw them three or four meters away, but if there were behaviors such as active feeding, they would take the initiative to chase people for food, which might disturb the elderly and children."

The change of raccoons in Shanghai is basically consistent with the change trend of wild animals in other cities around the world. For example, Wang Fang said: "For example, the red fox in Europe, the American black bear and raccoon all show the characteristics of rapid urbanization. The changing direction of raccoons is what we can expect, but the speed of change surprises us."
Why do they "leave home for the city"?
Why do wild animals leave their original living environment and enter cities? Wang Fang believes that there are mainly several aspects:
First of all, migration is the instinctive demand of wild animals. No one can confine wild animals to protected areas. The purposes of animal migration include but are not limited to food, water, spouses, avoiding natural enemies and finding better habitats.
"However, it is easy to overlook that when the habitat becomes broken, many animals lose the opportunity and ability to migrate, and it often takes decades to explore and rebuild again. Many species, including Asian elephants, are going through this process. They will try and make mistakes, conflict, and run to places that seem’ should not go’, but these processes are in line with the laws of nature. " Wang Fang said.
Secondly, compared with the wilderness and the urban-rural junction, the urban environment recovers faster. By the end of 2020, the green coverage rate of Shanghai’s built-up areas is as high as 40%. There are not only large areas of forests and wetlands, but also small and beautiful ecological areas such as street gardens and pocket parks. At this time, the city will be like a hot spot, attracting the surrounding animals.
Finally, the urban environment provides shelter for some wild animals. Raccoons, squirrels, weasels and other animals have very flexible lifestyles. They are good at adjusting according to the characteristics of cities. There are no natural enemies in cities. As long as they can adapt to urban life and human beings, they will hardly encounter threats.

How to coexist in the collision?
When wild animals enter the city, urban residents need to go through a learning process. From curiosity at the beginning, to dissatisfaction, and then to getting used to it, a new order will be formed between urban residents and wild animals.
Wang Fang believes that the establishment of order is inseparable from the understanding of wild animals and the study of urban management. In the past year, Wang Fang’s team conducted extensive research in Shanghai, and basically grasped the changes of raccoons in the city. In addition to determining the threshold number per hectare, they also established a habitat model to further analyze the mechanism driving the changes of wild animals.
"We found that raccoons don’t need large areas of forests and green spaces, and the two main factors affecting their distribution are shrubs and water sources. They also like small and medium-sized roads. During the day, cars come and go on the roads, and at night they become’ high-speed passages’ for animals. " Zhao Qianqian is a member of Wang Fang’s team. She put collars with positioning functions on five raccoons.

The diversity of urban wildlife needs to be protected without hindering the normal operation of society. Up to now, local governments and citizens have maintained a great degree of tolerance for wild animals "entering the city", which not only helped the Northeast Tiger who broke into the village to return to Shan Ye, but also suffered economic losses of millions of yuan caused by elephant "sightseeing".
However, it does not rule out taking appropriate intervention measures when necessary. According to Wang Fang, in July, 2020, dozens of raccoons in a community in Shanghai had a group behavior disorder, which caused great interference. Therefore, the first wildlife hunting license was opened in Shanghai, which captured raccoons in the community and safely transferred them to the wild environment.
Wang Fang also said that the best way to solve the problem of wild animals "entering the city" is to protect and restore the living environment of wild animals, preserve the buffer zone of the city, and minimize the direct conflict between wild animals and urban residents.
"Cities are first and foremost places where people live and work. There will never be an optimal plan for urban wildlife management, and conflicts will always exist. No matter how good the system is, it needs continuous adjustment. In this regard, cities such as Shanghai have made a lot of explorations and the experience is extremely precious. " Wang Fang said.
