21st century business herald reporter Zuo Maoxuan reports from Shanghai.

After several twists and turns, the smart electric vehicle brand jointly built by Baidu and Geely has gone beyond the limit, and finally started the market-oriented stage.

On October 27th, its first model, Extreme Yue 01, was officially launched. This time, two models, Extreme Yue 01 Max and Extreme Yue 01 Max Performance, were launched, and the price was 249,900 ~ 339,900 yuan.

Among them, the most concerned high-order intelligent assisted driving function "ROBO Drive Max", which is regarded as the core competitiveness of Chaoyue, supports 980 yuan’s subscription on schedule/month, or a one-time buyout of 49,900 yuan.

Extreme leap is an important carrier of Baidu’s dream of building a car.

In January 2021, Baidu announced the establishment of a smart electric vehicle company with Geely. In March, Jidu Automobile was formally established with a registered capital of 1 billion yuan. Baidu and Geely held 55% and 45% of the shares respectively, and received over 300 million US dollars in start-up funds.

At the Guangzhou Auto Show at the end of 2022, the first automobile robot ROBO 01 of Jidu was officially unveiled. It was built based on Geely’s vast SEA architecture, and the intelligent scheme mainly came from Baidu.

Limited by the qualification problem, Jidu Automobile almost fell silent in the first half of this year.

Until August 14th this year, Geely Holding Group released official information and announced the strategic upgrade of cooperation with Baidu. Its brand-new automobile robot brand "Extreme Yue" was officially released, and its first model was officially named "Extreme Yue 01".

"Extreme Yue" is born out of Jidu Automobile, and follows the brand logo of Jidu Automobile. Extreme Yue 01 is the first production car ROBO 01 of Jidu.

The company behind Jiyue brand is Hangzhou Jiyue Automobile Technology Co., Ltd., which was formally established on August 9 this year. Zhejiang Geely Investment Holding Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Mihang Automobile Co., Ltd., which is wholly owned by Baidu, jointly hold shares, with the dual shareholding ratio of 65% and 35% respectively.

Although the equity has changed, the division of labor has not changed: Geely is responsible for vehicle manufacturing and Baidu is responsible for AI empowerment.

Extreme Yue seems to be the product of a "strong alliance" and regards Tesla as the goal of his own challenge.

"From beginning to end, we wanted to have a fight with Tesla." On October 28th, Xia Yiping, CEO of Extreme Vietnam, stressed in an interview with 21st century business herald.

In his view, although players in the industry want to benchmark Tesla, no one can shake its position yet. And the more intelligent the price is, the better the price/performance ratio is in the current industry.

Intelligence is regarded as the core competitiveness, which is similar to Tesla and Tucki.

However, as far as the moment is concerned, it is only now that it has entered the market, and the market challenges it faces are extremely severe. Whether facing "Wei Xiaoli" or Huawei, intelligence has become the main battlefield for various smart electric vehicle companies to compete. As a latecomer, Jiyue is facing the pressure of market competition, technology, supply chain and so on.

"Pure Vision" Intelligent Driving Scheme

The ultra-yue car said that the ultra-yue 01 is the world’s first AI car robot. This concept seems to be a gimmick, but it is also a way to emphasize one’s greatest characteristics as a latecomer to the market.

When Baidu and Geely jointly conceived to build a new brand, they had already made clear the special attributes of this new brand.

The main purpose of Baidu is to inherit the core competence of Baidu Apollo, and re-integrate and verify it, so that Baidu has a landing scene in the research and development of autonomous driving for many years.

Geely itself has a complicated brand sequence including Geely, Link, Volvo, Polar Star, etc. It does not need a new brand that is too close to the previous brand positioning, but hopes to make more attempts in intelligence, so as to explore more possibilities in the future automobile era.

In other words, Geely provides technical support for the "body" of the company, while Baidu is responsible for the "soul" of the smart car of the company.

Extreme Yue 01 is based on the vast architecture of Geely SEA, which has been applied in many brands such as Extreme Krypton, smart and Polar Star, and its performance and quality have been preliminarily recognized in the market.

Therefore, intelligent ability is the core competitiveness that Extreme Vietnam tries to focus on.

According to Extreme Yue, the intelligent driving of Extreme Yue 01 relies on the "pure vision" perception algorithm. Its pure vision perception architecture has 11 high-definition cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars and 5 millimeter-wave radars, totaling 28 intelligent driving sensors, and the laser radar is cancelled.

This scheme named "ROBO Drive Max" is the first "pure vision" scheme in China to get through the network occupied by BEV+Transformer+OCC. On a global scale, it is also the second car company to adopt a pure vision solution after Tesla FSD.

According to Xia Yiping, at the beginning of this year, Extreme Vietnam made a lot of evaluations when it planned to take off the lidar and adopt a pure vision algorithm, especially in the early days, and it also expected the local experience to decline. However, from the perspective of cost and optimization of computing power, the pure vision scheme was finally adopted.

Xia Yiping believes that going to lidar is not an inevitable result, and there are always repeated in the process of technological development.

"Under the current laws and regulations, it is of no value to be too aggressive in autonomous driving. The first step is to model the whole vision algorithm. The future vision model must be more general, not a simple concept of automatic driving, but more a concept of general artificial intelligence. This is a long-term development trend and irreversible. " Xia Yiping said.

In his view, the advanced intelligent driving function at this stage should start from the scenes used by users every day, not just "showing off skills".

According to reports, ROBO Drive Max includes point-to-point navigation assistance PPA+ parking service AVP+ROBO Drive full function.

Point-to-point pilot-assisted PPA, with high-order intelligent driving assistance capability covering high-speed and urban scenes. When PPA is started, it can complete a series of functional scenes such as autonomous lane change overtaking, getting on and off ramps, obstacle avoidance in and between lanes at high speed and overhead. In urban roads, zebra crossings and traffic lights can be accurately identified, and driving tasks such as courtesy to pedestrians, unprotected left turn and avoiding non-motor vehicles can be completed.

In parking service, it can not only identify various types and complex parking spaces, but also support a distance of up to 2 kilometers. Both indoor and outdoor parking lots can be used, and it can support the parking of any parking space on the same floor to the entrance and exit of the parking lot.

It is understood that this year, ROBO Drive Max will open the high-level intelligent driving function in the urban area to all users in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hangzhou, and PPA can be used in 90% of the high-speed viaducts in the country. In 2024, PPA will gradually open 200+ cities nationwide.

However, as far as the more complicated traffic environment in China is concerned, whether this pure vision scheme can work depends on the subsequent effect on the actual road before we can make a judgment.

In terms of intelligent cockpit, Extreme Yue 01 was first equipped with 8295 chip of Qualcomm’s 4th generation Snapdragon digital cockpit platform, and dual NPU(60TOPS) was fully enabled for the first time. In addition, Extreme Yue has also integrated the large-scale model capability of ERNIE Bot, making it the first smart car in the world with a large model.

Just from 0 to 0.1.

"I firmly believe that from yesterday, the entire new energy automobile industry will be divided into pure new energy vehicles and smart cars." On October 28th, Xia Yiping said in an interview with 21st century business herald.

He believes that the difference between the two lies in the different requirements for mastering the core technical capabilities. One is dominated by technology companies, which have the ability to calculate and master the core of the algorithm; One is dominated by the traditional mechanical performance companies of Sanpower in the past. This has undergone a watershed change.

"I don’t think we have entered a’ Red Sea’ battlefield. I think we still have to open up a new battlefield." Xia Yiping said.

Although the current competition in the smart electric vehicle market is extremely fierce, he believes that Extreme Vietnam still has market opportunities.

At the same time, Xia Yiping also said that it is only from 0 to 0.1 to build the car, and it is necessary to improve the systematic ability of production capacity, supply chain and channels.

Of course, the most direct problem now facing Xiayi Plane is how to sell more cars.

In the laying of sales channels, Jiyue has also been questioned by many outsiders. Since the end of last year, Jiyue has started to build offline stores, some of which are in the core business districts with high rents such as Lujiazui in Shanghai and Sanlitun in Beijing. At that time, it was still a long time before the first production car.

Xia Yiping said frankly that opening a store in advance without a car and being vacant there put a lot of pressure on the brand. For a startup, it is actually a very difficult decision.

"Opened a store, no mass production, can only put engineering vehicles over there, also can have an impact. But how can you promote your brand if you don’t open a shop? How does user cognition come about? If you promote it too early, there will be another problem. Without products, everyone says that you build a car with PPT. " Xia Yiping said.

From the perspective of market volume, although the company has gained a certain social awareness by building a store in the bustling business district, compared with other car companies that already have a certain sales volume in the market, despite relying on Geely and Baidu, the brand awareness of the company is still insufficient.

Next, Extreme Vietnam will still speed up the channel construction.

According to reports, at present, there are nearly 50 sales stores in Vietnam, and it is planned to reach more than 100 by the end of this year, and more than 250 sales stores will be laid next year; On the after-sales side, direct stores and authorized stores are spread out in two ways.

Regarding the sales forecast, Xia Yiping said that at present, Extreme Vietnam is still in the stage of capacity climbing, and another model will be released soon. The climbing process may last for more than one year, and it is expected to reach the goal of monthly sales of 10,000 vehicles in 2025. Extreme Vietnam plans to produce a new car every year, and accelerate it in the third and fourth years, and more models will come out.

Where is the road to cooperation between Baidu and Geely?

Judging from the current public situation, the more successful it is to enter the market, it means that the cooperation between Baidu and Geely has entered a new stage.

In fact, with the development of intelligent new energy automobile industry, the cooperation between technology and automobile industry is getting closer and closer. However, it is the first new car-making enterprise in the true sense to be jointly funded and incubated by Internet giants and traditional car companies.

Unlike Huawei, which has attacked the city in the automobile industry in the past two years and held hands extensively, Baidu entered the smart driving track earlier, but due to the lack of representative products, its cognition in the hearts of ordinary consumers is not strong.

The emergence of the extreme leap may make up for some shortcomings in this respect, but a series of new puzzles have not been completely uncovered.

In addition to providing intelligent technology, what kind of attitude will Baidu participate in the road of building cars in the future? Among the many sub-brands of Geely Holding, what kind of identity will Extreme Yue play? Is there more room for imagination in the cooperation between Baidu and Geely after passing the extreme leap?

For many questions, it seems that we have to wait until what kind of market achievements we can achieve before we can have a chance to imagine a longer future.

Interestingly, on the same day that Extreme Yue 01 held a listing conference, Extreme Krypton also held a listing conference for the new car Extreme Krypton 001 FR.

Regarding the difference between Extreme Yue and Extreme Krypton, An Conghui, CEO of Extreme Krypton Intelligent Technology, said in an interview with 21st century business herald that although they share a vast infrastructure, the needs of each brand are different, from performance, configuration and material application to design, adjustment and user expectations. Products may overlap, but they must belong to different market segments.

Of course, from now on, Extreme Vietnam has just entered the knockout stage. Although it is backed by Geely and Baidu, it is destined that a few new car-making enterprises in China will survive in the end, and Extreme Vietnam has not taken the lead.

However, compared with other new car-making enterprises, Jiyue can rely on Geely in platform development and factory construction, and the level of intelligence is empowered by Baidu, so the demand for funds may have an advantage.

However, new car-making enterprises will be in a strategic loss stage for a long time, and they need more support in the capital market.

At present, there are only two shareholders, Baidu and Geely. However, 21st century business herald reporter learned from people familiar with the matter that Vietnam also hopes to raise funds from abroad.

According to Xia Yiping, there will be new financing actions early next year, which will be announced at that time.

　　[Design Decoding] Driven by favorable policies and future development trends, more and more enterprises have begun to enter the team of new energy vehicles. In addition to the brands we are familiar with, Weimar Automobile and so on, there are many enterprises in the embryonic stage, and these new vehicle-making enterprises not only help the rapid development of new energy, but also promote the traditional car enterprises to further develop new energy. Today, our protagonist is the high-end pure electric vehicle launched by the traditional OEM. In the future, it will cut into the market segment to meet the needs of consumers for high-end SUVs.

　　Different from the pure electric vehicles such as ERX5 launched by Roewe before, MARVEL X is not a pure electric vehicle based on the replacement of powertrain for gasoline models, but a completely independent new model. Moreover, not only MARVEL X, but also MARVEL owned by Roewe will have a series of new energy vehicles focusing on the mid-to-high-end market in the future. From the design idea of this MARVEL X, we can see the difference between this MARVEL series and ordinary Roewe pure electric vehicles in the future.

● Appearance and coincidence 90%

　　MARVEL X was designed by the SAIC design team led by Shao Jingfeng, the design director of SAIC. At present, Roewe’s flagship pure electric SUV almost completely retains the previously released concept car in design. It is understood that the appearance overlap between the production version and the concept car is as high as 90%, so the MARVEL X in front of us looks very avant-garde.

　　At the beginning of MARVEL X design, the team led by Shao Jingfeng found the right direction and positioning. As the representative of Roewe brand pure electric SUV, it will enter the eyes of consumers. Different from the previously released pure electric vehicles such as ERX5 and Ei5, it will face the mid-to high-end market. The specific market demand throws them a difficult problem, and how to build a car that is more in line with this market demand is what this team needs to do. Then, after numerous brainstorming, they finally determined three key words to achieve this goal: strengthening brand recognition, emotional design and shaping a sense of high quality.

　　After the evolution of RX5, RX3 and i6, the rhythm design of Roewe brand has been well received by consumers, while the overall design idea of MARVEL X continues the concept of rhythm, and we can see the familiar Roewe from the design of the front of the car. The huge wingspan grille has been preserved in this pure electric SUV, and the front grille shape has not been cancelled like other new energy vehicles. This design style seems to make the whole car more powerful. The addition of light arc lights outside the grille not only enhances the visual effect, but also further deepens the brand image. Together with the "Arrow Feather", it will have a deep impression at first glance.

　　In the design of MARVEL X, there are also many similar design elements on RX5 and RX3, such as the waistline running through the car body and two arcs on the front and rear wheel arches, so that the sides will not look too rigid. The design of the rear of the car is not the same as that of the previous Roewe models. First, the license plate frame is moved down to the rear enclosure, and the rear of the car looks simpler. It also has a waist-closing design, and the lower plate looks quite solid.

　　We can see that in MARVEL X’s design language, dynamic modeling occupies a key position. MARVEL X, as an SUV, has a lower body than traditional SUVs, and the identity of pure electric vehicles also gives designers more room to play. Its visual center of gravity is more backward, and the low-cut, slender body with a small proportion of the rear window creates a visual feeling of diving forward. At the same time, the exaggerated surrounding decoration of the front and rear of the car also plays a role in increasing the sense of movement. However, this MARVEL X is more than just watching sports. In order to improve performance and fuel economy, its streamlined shape and optimized low wind resistance rearview mirror, together with the hidden door handle, have reduced it to 0.29Cd.

　　[Aika car SUV channel original]

　　Roewe RX5′ s monthly sales of 20,000 units can be said to have earned enough profits and eyeballs for SAIC. It must be said that SAIC’s accumulation in styling design in recent years has brought exquisite appearance to RX5, and another group of young people in the same R&D center have also created many topics for RX5 human-computer interaction system with their unique ideas. What kind of world is hidden under such a car that shines brightly?

　　The vehicle we shot this time is Roewe RX5 20T two-wheel drive Internet Smart Edition, equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, driven by front wheel drive.

I. Overview of Chassis

　　Similar to the chassis structure of many compact SUVs on the market, RX5 adopts McPherson independent front suspension and E-type multi-link independent rear suspension. The chassis of RX5 has no redundant guard plate to protect the parts, from which we can also see that it focuses on the positioning of urban road conditions. However, through analysis, we can still find that RX5 is worthy of its price and people’s attention in chassis structure and materials.

　　RX5 adopts a frame-type front subframe, which can not only improve the overall strength of the front of the car body, but also make the force on the front of the car body more uniform.

　　RX5′ s two-wheel drive vehicle adopts a rear subframe similar to H-shape, and almost all the connecting rods on the rear suspension apply force to the rear subframe, thus reducing the direct impact of suspension on the vehicle body. The rear subframe of RX5 four-wheel drive vehicle is structurally different from that of two-wheel drive vehicle.

Second, the front suspension analysis

　　RX5′ s McPherson independent front suspension is really nothing too surprising. Indeed, for most cars under 200,000 yuan on the market, it is too ordinary to adopt McPherson front suspension. However, the details of the RX5 front suspension still have its own special features.

　　On the whole, the front suspension adjustment of RX5 tends to be comfortable, and the damping spring can filter out most small vibrations, but for some relatively large vibrations, the response of the spring is a bit stiff. Usually, the relatively large vibration will be directly transmitted to the car, which makes people somewhat unprepared. However, thanks to this adjustment, RX5 has a good performance in controlling roll.

Third, the rear suspension analysis

　　RX5 adopts E-type multi-link independent rear suspension, which is also quite common in the same class. This multi-link suspension adopts a vertical and three horizontal conventional structure, and most of the connecting rods are stamped from steel plates, and there is not much innovation in the arrangement of connecting rods.

For the quotation of JAC Ruifeng M3 Extended Edition, we know that the maker version of 2022 PLUS series is 1.5T luxury model, and its official guide price is83,800 yuan. However, the actual landing price will vary according to many factors, including regional concessions and car purchase policies. The bare car price is generally slightly lower than the official guidance price, assuming that81,800 yuan.

In the process of buying a car, you also need to pay the purchase tax, which is about.3708 yuan. The licensing fee is about500 yuanThis is an essential administrative procedure fee. According to the vehicle value and insurance clauses, the commercial insurance fee is about2555.74 yuanIt is recommended to buy it to protect your rights and interests.

Don’t forget the travel tax. For the 1.5T model, the travel tax is480 yuanThis is a fixed annual fee. The compulsory insurance fee is1100 yuanThis is the legal requirement for vehicles to go on the road. Adding all the expenses together, the total landing price of the vehicle is about95,200 yuan, but the actual price may change due to regions and offers.

When buying a car, it is recommended that you consult your local dealer to get the most accurate quotation and preferential policies, so as to make a wise car purchase decision.

　　The essence of the reform of registration system is to hand over the right of choice to the market, strengthen market constraints and rule of law constraints, and improve the convenience of investment and financing. With the end of the 2022 annual report disclosure season, a number of listed companies will withdraw from the A-share market. According to incomplete statistics, since the beginning of this year, the number of A-share delisted companies has reached more than 30.

　　Insiders pointed out that the delisting system is an important supporting institutional arrangement for the implementation of the registration system. The regulatory authorities will further improve the delisting mechanism, improve the delisting standards and simplify the delisting process, which will help to create a good A-share market ecology under the comprehensive registration system, better protect the legitimate rights and interests of investors and provide a stage for the high-quality development of more high-quality enterprises.

　　Metabolism and delisting efficiency are improved.

　　At the end of 2020, in order to implement the Implementation Plan for Improving the delisting mechanism of listed companies, which was decided and deployed by the 16th meeting of the Central Committee for Deep Reform, the relevant departments formulated and formed four types of mandatory delisting indicators, such as trading, finance, regulation and major violations, and incorporated them into the new delisting rules. Nowadays, the delisting system is constantly playing the role of market "purifier".

　　According to the information released by Shanghai Stock Exchange, since the beginning of this year, 12 companies on the main board of Shanghai Stock Exchange have been locked out of listing, and 17 companies have been warned of delisting risks. The diversified delisting system has shown its power, delisting has gradually become normal, and the mechanism of survival of the fittest has become more stable.

　　According to the data of Shenzhen Stock Exchange, in 2022, a total of 24 companies in Shenzhen were forced to delist, and the number of delisted companies was close to the sum of the past three years. As of April 30, 2023, Shenzhen identified 20 delisting companies, the number of which was basically the same as that of the previous year, and the normalized delisting mechanism operated in an orderly manner.

　　So, what kind of companies will withdraw from the A-share market?

　　Some are difficult to win the favor of investors. Not long ago, the daily closing price of *ST Xiyuan shares for 20 consecutive trading days was lower than that of RMB 1 yuan, which touched the conditions for termination of listing. Behind the delisting of transactions is the deterioration of business conditions. Relevant reports show that *ST Xiyuan’s main business is missing, its operation is stagnant, its net assets are negative, its large debts are unable to repay, its major assets and subsidiaries’ equity are frozen by the judiciary, and there are many major uncertainties related to going concern.

　　Some information disclosure does not conform to the norms. In the audit report issued for the future of *ST, Asia Pacific (Group) Certified Public Accountants (special general partnership) said frankly: "We can’t obtain the upstream and downstream penetration data of customers and suppliers related to coal trade, the entry and exit data and logistics data of original suppliers and end users, and we can’t verify the authenticity and accuracy of income, and we can’t verify the authenticity, accuracy and recoverability of accounts receivable generated by coal trade. Due to the above restrictions on the audit scope, we failed to implement the necessary audit procedures to obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence for expressing opinions. "

　　Some of the main business income is lower than the listing requirements. *ST Shennan disclosed in the announcement that the company’s net profit before and after deducting non-recurring gains and losses in 2021 was negative, and the operating income after deducting business income unrelated to the main business and income without commercial substance was less than 100 million yuan. In 2022, the company’s audited net profit was negative and its operating income was less than 100 million yuan. This situation touches on the relevant provisions of the listing rules of Shenzhen Stock Exchange on the termination of listing.

　　There are also false records in the annual reports of listed companies for many years, and the actual controller was investigated by the Securities and Futures Commission for alleged information disclosure violations. These triggered the relevant provisions of "mandatory delisting for major violations".

　　"The delisting system is an important basic system of the capital market. Under the background of comprehensive registration system, timely realize the ‘ Jin ’ ‘ with the problem enterprise; Back ’ It is conducive to shaping a healthy and upward capital market atmosphere and better protecting the rights and interests of investors. " Ceng Gang, director of Shanghai Finance and Development Laboratory, told this reporter.

　　Serve entities and save financing resources.

　　Economic activity is a dynamic cycle process, and realizing a virtuous cycle of savings and investment is the most basic and important part. The data shows that from 2017 to 2021, the initial public offering (IPO) and refinancing amount totaled 5.2 trillion yuan, providing efficient financial support for strategic emerging industries and a large number of high-quality enterprises.

　　— — The delisting system plays a better role and can form a positive guide to the market.

　　According to Wang Yi, chief strategy researcher of Huatai Securities Research Institute, since the implementation of the new delisting rules, A shares have gradually formed a diversified delisting mechanism and played a role as a "purifier". On the issuing side, the new regulations have successfully cracked down on the malicious behavior of shell companies to avoid delisting through stricter financial audit. At the same time, the period from identification to delisting of shell companies will be shortened to two fiscal years to speed up the liquidation of problem companies. On the investment side, under the clear expectation of "all should be retired", the speculative mentality of companies with small market value and poor performance has been effectively curbed, and the risk events of listed companies have been paid more attention to, and the investment concept has become more mature.

　　"Relevant data show that since the implementation of the new round of delisting reform on December 31, 2020, the pace of delisting has obviously accelerated. In 2021, 17 companies were forced to withdraw from the market, and in 2022, 42 companies were forced to withdraw from the market. The number of delisting companies in these two years accounted for 40% of the total number of delisting companies in the past 30 years." Wang Yi told this reporter that the withdrawal of problem companies means that more funds will be invested in high-quality companies, and the rate of return on irrational investment will be further reduced, which is conducive to guiding the whole market to form the concept of value investment.

　　— — The delisting system plays a better role and can allocate financial resources efficiently.

　　Zhao Xijun, co-dean of China Capital Market Research Institute of Renmin University of China, said in an interview with this reporter that delisting companies generally have problems such as poor operating conditions, false financial data, and doubtful ability to continue operations.

　　Zhao Xijun believes that the comprehensive registration system has opened the door to accelerated development for more high-quality enterprises. The timely withdrawal of "sick" enterprises from the capital market will play a warning role for the whole market, so that listed and unlisted enterprises can strengthen their awareness of legal compliance and dispel the lucky psychology of "circling money on the market" and "getting something for nothing", thus purifying the market ecology and improving the overall quality of listed companies. Not only that, the delisting system will play the role of "purifier", and it will also enable enterprises that really do business in a down-to-earth manner to obtain a good direct financing environment, thus driving the development of the industry and even the upstream and downstream industries, and realizing the ultimate goal of the capital market to better serve the high-quality development of the real economy.

　　"The delisting system, the issuance system, the trust system and the trading system together constitute the basic system of the capital market. To ensure the good operation of the delisting system is to better allocate valuable financial resources to the places that enterprises really need and promote them to create greater value. " Zhao Xijun said.

　　Support the superior and limit the inferior, and the supervision is not loose.

　　Promoting the high-quality development of listed companies is a complex systematic project and a long-term and arduous task. The CSRC stressed that it is necessary to adhere to the supervision orientation of supporting the superior and limiting the inferior, and further support the head enterprises with outstanding main business and strong competitiveness to become superior and strong, and play a leading role in demonstration; For those who unilaterally pursue diversified development, strictly supervise their mergers and acquisitions and financing behavior; For "shell" and "zombie" enterprises whose main business is shrinking and they do not have the ability to continue to operate, the compulsory delisting system will be strictly implemented and the liquidation will be resolutely promoted.

　　What are the new highlights and trends in the implementation of delisting system? The reporter interviewed Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Stock Exchange respectively.

　　According to the relevant person in charge of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the Shanghai Stock Exchange has carefully formulated and implemented the Work Plan for Auditing the 2022 Annual Report of Venture Companies in Shanghai Stock Exchange, and promoted the supervision of venture companies in stages and with emphasis according to the principle of "moving forward, grasping early and grasping small". On the one hand, through supervision means such as inquiry, interview and on-site inspection, we will crack down on evading delisting; On the other hand, according to the regulations, we will push forward the major illegal delisting of companies such as *ST Amethyst and *ST Zeda as soon as possible, and implement investor protection measures.

　　How does the "Digital Silk Road" help realize the goal of sustainable development? Guo Huadong, an academician of the China Academy of Sciences, said here on the 7th that the realization of sustainable development goals and specific indicators requires actions at the global, national and local levels, and big earth data can provide information, goals and assistance for these efforts and activities.
　　The second Digital China Construction Summit is being held in Fuzhou, and the A-class strategic pilot science and technology project "Earth Big Data Science Project" of China Academy of Sciences brought scientific research results to the summit.
　　Earth big data is the big data formed by the intersection and integration of earth science, information science and space science and technology. The data comes from but is not limited to space-based observation data, but also includes land, ocean, atmosphere and data related to human activities.
　　Guo Huadong, head of the project, chairman of the Digital Silk Road International Science Program and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was interviewed by a reporter from China News Service during the summit, and talked about how to conduct research based on the global big data project and the digital "Belt and Road" project to provide decision support and technical support for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
　　Guo Huadong pointed out that big data on earth is one of the key core technologies to realize the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It is the common demand of the countries along the Belt and Road to bring the global big data into the process of sustainable development and realize the coordinated development of society, culture, environment and ecology in the region and across countries through the advanced scientific and technological support of the global big data.
　　In 2016, China scientists initiated the Digital Silk Road International Science Program (DBAR) to realize the scientific service of global big data in the sustainable development goal of "Belt and Road" by sharing data, experience, technology and knowledge, and 53 countries, international organizations and international programs participated in it. At present, China Academy of Sciences has allocated more than 200 million yuan in the next five years to support the implementation of the DBAR plan.
　　"The DBAR plan will systematically monitor the status quo and evolution pattern of different ecosystems in the Belt and Road, including grasslands, forests, glaciers, cities, farmland and coastal zones." Guo Huadong said that the continuous accumulation, opening and sharing of global big data is an important resource and driving force to promote the development of digital "Belt and Road" scientific and technological innovation.
　　In January 2019, the DBAR earth big data system platform was officially launched. The system includes thematic data sets such as resources, environment, climate, disasters and heritage in the "Belt and Road" region, and 57 types of independent intellectual property data products. The shared data exceeds 120 trillion bytes, which can realize the browsing of basic geographic data throughout the "Belt and Road".
　　In January 2018, China Academy of Sciences launched the A-class strategic science and technology pilot project "Earth Big Data Science Project", aiming at building the world’s leading Earth Big Data platform and database, and promoting technological innovation, major scientific discoveries and one-stop all-round macro-decision support of Earth Big Data.
　　Guo Huadong said that in 2019, the core work of the Global Big Data Project will be the construction of "five balls, one satellite, one facility and 6SDG", and research will be carried out on several SDG targets, and efforts will be made to promote the monitoring and evaluation of six SDG indicators of the Global Big Data Service SDG2 Zero Hunger, SDG6 Water Resources, SDG11 Urbanization, SDG13 Climate Action, SDG14 Marine Ecology and SDG15 Terrestrial Ecology.
　　According to Guo Huadong, from 2018 to 2019, the earth big data technology was specially used to dynamically monitor the construction status of 127 overseas industrial parks in China from the establishment of the park to the end of 2018, and to monitor and evaluate the distribution pattern, development trends, construction status, resource endowment, risk status, ecological environment and socio-economic impact of overseas industrial parks in China.
　　At the same time, help those developing countries without technical and financial resources to monitor their urban development and study the relationship between land use rate and population growth rate; The evolution characteristics of giant panda habitat in China in recent 40 years were evaluated, which provided methods and data support for the realization of the biodiversity goal of SDG15 of the United Nations. Customize the special Portuguese agricultural monitoring system, carry out detailed agricultural monitoring training for Mozambique, and continuously provide solid technical support and decision support for promoting technological innovation in the field of earth big data and achieving SDGs goals.
　　

　 　 16 days after the acquisition plan was rejected, Gree gave up the acquisition of Zhuhai Yinlong. This result is unexpected to many people.

　　Even when rumors were flying, Dong Mingzhu, the chairman of the board, didn’t reveal the idea of "giving up making cars" at all. However, a sudden announcement made Gree "build a car" come to an abrupt end.

　　"Gree’s fundraising plan was previously rejected by minority shareholders at the shareholders’ meeting. Since then, Gree has indicated that it will change the plan, but its source of funds for the acquisition of Zhuhai Yinlong is inconclusive, which makes the acquisition very uncertain. However, this result is still a bit surprising. Gree’s attitude in building a car was very firm before. " The industry believes that.　

　 　On the evening of November 16th,gree electric appliancesThe announcement said that the company decided to stop planning to issue shares to purchase assets.

　　Gree Electric’s acquisition plan for Zhuhai Yinlong has been controversial since its birth. Three months ago, Gree Electric announced the acquisition plan, announcing the acquisition of 100% equity of Zhuhai Yinlong by issuing shares. After the acquisition, Zhuhai Yinlong will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gree Electric. However, the acquisition plan was "voted with their feet" by minority shareholders.

　　At the end of October, Gree’s overall plan to acquire Yinlong and raise funds was finally rejected at its extraordinary shareholders meeting. However, Gree did not disclose his willingness to give up the acquisition. Gree Electric issued an announcement, acknowledging that the proposal on the issue of shares to purchase assets was not passed as a whole, and said that it planned to continue to push forward the issue of shares to purchase assets, and reduce or cancel the matching raised funds. At that time, Gree insiders also said in an interview that they would continue the acquisition, but it would take time to adjust the plan.

　　It is reported that the optimized and adjusted plan will be resubmitted to the board of directors and shareholders’ meeting for deliberation, and the announcement date of the resolution of the board of directors will be taken as the benchmark date for issuance pricing.

　　After Gree’s acquisition plan was rejected, there was an episode in which Dong Mingzhu, the chairman of Gree Electric, changed his position at Gree Group level, causing a sensation in the industry. For a time, people in the industry speculated on the reasons why Miss Dong left the group. Some insiders believe that this may be related to Gree Electric’s acquisition of Zhuhai Yinlong.

　　However, judging from the current actions of Gree, "Miss Dong" gave up making cars in a short time.

　　But this does not mean that Gree does not need to find new profit growth points as soon as possible. Looking at Gree Electric’s annual reports in recent years, we can see that in 2015, Gree Electric’s performance continued to grow, and Gree Electric’s revenue and net profit decreased by 29% and 11% respectively, which was the first time that Gree Electric’s performance declined since its listing. In the first half of 2016, the decline in the company’s performance narrowed.

　　At the same time, "Miss Dong" has repeatedly revealed in public that the air-conditioning industry has entered a saturated stage, intelligence will enter a golden age in the next five years, and Gree has entered a diversified era. Today, Miss Dong enters Gree.intelligent automobileThe promotion of the field has been hindered by many obstacles.

　　"This does not mean that Gree will give up the diversified layout, and the smart industry is still Gree’s new layout direction and future profit growth point." Gree insiders said.

　　This may be another beginning for Gree.

a surname; short for Europe; luckyEurope is a close neighbor of the Middle East. Since the outbreak of the Arab Spring, European countries have generally paid more attention to the situation in the Middle East. As the spokesman of European countries’ political and diplomatic interests, the EU’s intervention and influence on the situation in the Middle East is obvious, and it has become an important external force affecting the development of the situation in the Middle East. Facing the derailed development of the situation in the Middle East, considering its own stability and security factors, the EU hopes to maintain stability and peace in the Middle East. In particular, the proliferation of terrorism and extremist forces in the Middle East poses a major threat to the political and security situation of the EU. The EU hopes to show its political and diplomatic influence by playing a role in Middle East affairs. The recent wave of refugees fleeing from the Middle East has brought great pressure to the EU countries, and it has become an urgent task for the EU to deal with the chaos in the Middle East. In the future, the EU’s Middle East policy will face great challenges.

The Middle East in EU’s Foreign Relations

Europe’s concern about conflicts and crises in the Middle East stems from historical, cultural and geopolitical factors of both sides. After the Madrid Middle East Peace Conference in 1991, Sweden, Norway, Britain, France and other European countries began to actively mediate the Arab-Israeli conflict. In 2000-2002, a serious conflict broke out between Israel and Palestine. Together with the United Nations, the United States and Russia, the European Union established the "four-party talks" mechanism on the Middle East issue, which played an important role in mediating the positions of both sides and coordinating the international community in mediating the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. During the international negotiations on the Iranian nuclear issue that have lasted for many years, the EU countries represented by France, Britain and Germany have become an important force in the international negotiations on the Iranian nuclear issue.

In recent years, the coordination and implementation capacity of the EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy has been continuously improved, and it has played an important role in many international issues, especially in the Middle East. On December 12, 2003, the EU Summit held in Brussels, Belgium, adopted the "EU Security Strategy" document submitted by Javier Solana, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. According to this document, the EU has determined that "ten Mediterranean countries are the neighboring countries in the southern part of the Mediterranean", namely, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Israel, Palestine, Syria, Jordan, Libya, Egypt and Lebanon. [1] Among these ten countries, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and Syria have happened to be the countries that have undergone great political changes in the Middle East since the end of 2010. It is not difficult to understand that the EU’s political, diplomatic and even military actions, such as intervention, mediation, mediation and pressure on these countries with turbulent political situation, are the embodiment of its practice of the Common Foreign and Security Policy.

The EU responds to the changes in the Middle East

And the actions and measures of the crisis

At the end of 2010, the political situation in Tunisia changed suddenly. With the development of the situation in Libya, Syria and Egypt, the European Union has intervened and interfered with the development of these countries in various forms, becoming an important external force affecting the development of the situation in the Middle East.

1. The EU and NATO led the use of force against Libya to overthrow the Qaddafi regime.

In the Libyan crisis in 2011 and the subsequent Libyan war, the EU and NATO played a leading role, while France became the most active EU country advocating the use of force against Libya. Shortly after the NATO-led military operation began, France took over the command of the Libyan war from the United States. France not only spared no effort to attack Libyan government forces militarily, but also reached out to Libyan opposition in politics, becoming the first country to reach out to Libyan political forces opposed to Gaddafi’s government. Soon, France took the lead in recognizing Libya’s "National Transitional Council". After the collapse of Gaddafi’s regime, French President Nicolas Sarkozy was also one of the first western leaders to visit Libya.

France’s position and attitude on Libya is closely related to France’s own strategy in North Africa and the Mediterranean region. France’s historical ties and complex with Libya and North Africa determined its "strong concern" for Libya and African affairs. At the same time, the political ambition and great power consciousness of then French President Nicolas Sarkozy greatly influenced France’s political adventure of taking the lead in overthrowing Gaddafi by military means. Of course, due to Gaddafi’s long-term anti-Western policy in the past, the EU took advantage of Libya’s political crisis to overthrow Gaddafi’s regime, which is beneficial to the EU’s political and security interests and to enhance the EU’s influence.

Second, the EU strongly supports the Syrian opposition and tries to overthrow Bashar? Assad regime

In the spring of 2011, demonstrations against the Bashar government broke out in Syria, and the domestic situation quickly became turbulent. In the following years, western countries, represented by the European Union, constantly urged the Syrian authorities to carry out reforms in line with public opinion. However, the development of the situation in Syria did not follow the direction hoped by the European Union and the outside world, but fell into a civil war, leading to rampant extremist forces.

In order to force Bashar to step down as soon as possible, the EU tried to adopt the "Libya model" to foster Syrian anti-government forces. On February 24, 2012, with the support of international organizations such as the European Union and the Arab League and some Arab countries, the first international conference of "Friends of the Syrian People" was held in Tunisia, attended by representatives from 70 countries including the United States, Britain and France. On the day of the meeting, British Foreign Secretary Haig said that Britain would formally recognize the Syrian National Committee, the largest opposition in Syria, as the legal representative of the country. In November 2012, French President Hollande announced that he recognized the "National Alliance" as "the sole legitimate representative of the Syrian people" and the "future government" of Syria. This means that France has become the first western country to formally and fully recognize Syria’s "National League". [2] But since then, the Syrian opposition has not formed an authoritative political organization supported by various forces. In June 2014, Bashar? In response to Assad’s re-election in the Syrian presidential election, the European Union issued a statement saying that this presidential election in Syria cannot be regarded as a "real democratic voting process". This gesture shows that although the EU is unwilling to accept Bashar to take charge of Syria again, it does not have an effective strategy to overthrow the Syrian regime as soon as possible.

3. The EU supports the changes in Egypt and pays attention to the prospects of domestic political development in Egypt.

In February 2011, popular demonstrations broke out in Egypt, and President Mubarak, who had been in power for many years, had to announce his resignation on February 11. The EU immediately issued a statement expressing its support for the smooth transition of the Egyptian regime. European Council President Van Rompuy, European Commission President Barroso and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Ashton also issued a joint statement on the same day, welcoming Mubarak’s resignation.

After Mubarak stepped down, the situation in Egypt did not develop smoothly. In June 2012, the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Morsi, representing the religious conservative forces in Egypt, was elected as the president of Egypt, and the European Union recognized it after the Muslim Brotherhood won. After Mursi took office, he was once committed to improving relations with the West. In September 2012, President Morsi visited the EU headquarters and Italy respectively. In January 2013, European Council President Van Rompuy visited Egypt and said that the EU would provide Egypt with 5 billion euros in loan assistance. In the same month, President Morsi visited Germany. In April, Ashton, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Affairs, visited Egypt.

On July 3, 2013, the Egyptian military ousted the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Morsi, who had been in power for only one year. The EU reacted cautiously. On July 4th, Ashton, the EU’s foreign policy representative, said in a statement that the EU is very concerned about the development of Egypt and believes that there are profound differences in Egyptian society. In order to learn more about the development of the domestic situation in Egypt, Ashton went to Egypt on July 30, 2013 to meet with the imprisoned former Egyptian President Morsi, which was the first contact with the outside world after Morsi stepped down. In August, the EU announced an embargo on some military supplies to Egypt. In June 2014, Egypt held a general election, and former military leader Sethi won. The EU sent an observer mission to supervise the elections in Egypt. After the elections, the EU issued a statement and accepted the election results in Egypt. After Sethi came to power, the EU made many contacts with the Egyptian authorities on issues such as resuming assistance to Egypt and accelerating the domestic reform process in Egypt.

Fourth, the EU used political and economic sanctions to put pressure on Syria, Egypt and other countries.

On the Syrian issue, the EU is the first western power to impose sanctions on the Syrian government. In May 2011, the EU began to impose sanctions on the Bashar government. The EU foreign ministers’ meeting adopted a resolution on May 14th, 2012, and decided to expand the scope of sanctions against Syria. Since May 2011, the EU has imposed several rounds of sanctions on Syria, and a total of 43 Syrian enterprises and 128 individuals have been included in the sanctions list.

During the political turmoil in Egypt, the EU not only exerted political influence, but also considered using economic means such as sanctions to influence the development of the domestic situation in Egypt. The EU is Egypt’s most important economic partner. As early as 2001, the EU signed the Egypt-EU Partnership Agreement with Egypt. According to the agreement, all industrial products and some agricultural products exported from Egypt to Europe enjoy duty-free treatment. At the stage of the political crisis in Egypt, the EU thought of using the cancellation of preferential trade conditions with Egypt to put pressure on the Egyptian authorities. In July 2013, when the Egyptian military government overthrew the democratically elected Mursi government, the EU decided to suspend the export of weapons to Egypt, but the economic assistance to Egypt continued. After Sethi was elected President of Egypt, the EU decided to maintain its economic assistance to Egypt.

V. EU strengthens security and counter-terrorism measures to deal with the threat of "Islamic State"

In the EU’s foreign and security policy, combating terrorism and terrorist threats is an important content. The Middle East is a high-incidence place of global terrorism. Considering its own stability and security, the EU strongly supports the countries in the Middle East in their struggle against terrorism. However, due to the definition of terrorism and different views on some organizations engaged in anti-government activities, the EU and some countries in the Middle East also have some differences in the field of counter-terrorism.

In September 2014, US President Barack Obama announced the establishment of an international "anti-terrorism coalition". Most of the allied countries expressed political support for this move by the United States, but they were extremely cautious about sending troops to war. German Foreign Minister Steinmeier said that Germany will not participate in the US air strikes against Syria. However, Steinmeier believes that the military strike plan of the League of Nations against the Islamic State should be based on "political strategy". He also said that Germany is ready to provide weapons to Iraqi Kurdish armed forces.

Although the EU strictly guards against terrorist organizations and terrorists from the Middle East from going deep into EU countries to create terrorist incidents, the sporadic terrorist incidents in EU countries in recent years still show that the EU’s security concerns are not unreasonable. Especially after the rise of the "Islamic State" forces in the Middle East in 2014, it has great appeal to young people with extreme religious ideas in many European countries. Some European citizens with extreme ideas have defected to the "Islamic State" through various channels. According to a British study, the "foreign aid" that went to Syria to participate in the war came from at least 14 European countries. Among them, Britain, France and Germany participated in the largest number of people, and hundreds of people from each country participated in the war. In addition, there were many citizens from Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Austria and other countries. Once these people return to China, they will pose a serious threat to the security of some European countries. On January 7, 2015, a terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine occurred in Paris, France, killing and injuring more than 10 people. According to a preliminary investigation by the French police, the suspect once went to Yemen and other turbulent countries in the Middle East to fight. This incident is enough to show that the influence of terrorist organizations and terrorist ideas originating in the turbulent region of the Middle East on EU security cannot be ignored.

The EU’s response to the changes in the Middle East

Restricted factors and prospect analysis

No matter from the perspective of hIStorical ties or geopolitics, there is no reason for the EU to ignore the major political changes in the Middle East and countries. However, from dealing with the growing tide of refugees to how to combat the Islamic State (IS) forces, the EU is facing more and more challenges. The EU’s intervention in the situation in the Middle East, including its influence on the internal political process of some countries in the Middle East, is not only restricted by the EU’s ability and desire, but also influenced by the increasingly fierce competition pattern among major powers in the Middle East.

First, the refugee tide in the Middle East: the urgent task for the EU to deal with the chaos in the Middle East

As the EU is adjacent to the Middle East, a large number of refugees fleeing from countries in the Middle East turmoil all take European countries as their escape destinations. According to the estimation of Antonio Guterres, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, as of June 2015, there have been 11 million refugees since the outbreak of the Middle East crisis, including 7.5 million refugees in Syria. 4.5 million Syrian refugees have fled to neighboring countries such as Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey. Refugees from Libya, Syria and other countries have ventured to escape to European countries such as Italy by boat. So far, more than 2,000 people have been killed in the sea. In May 2015, the European Commission put forward a proposal that member States accept refugees according to quotas, but it was opposed by some countries. In August 2015, during the meeting, the leaders of France and Germany put forward a proposal to accelerate the establishment of a unified refugee policy in the European Union. In September, a 3-year-old boy in Syria was killed at sea, which triggered a big discussion among EU countries on their refugee policies. Governments such as France and Germany indicated that they would increase their efforts to accept refugees. On September 9th, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker announced a refugee quota scheme: 22 member states of the European Union will share 120,000 refugees in Hungary, Greece and Italy, including 31,000 refugees in Germany, 24,000 in France and 15,000 in Spain. The plan was enforced after being discussed by EU interior ministers. However, EU countries have different attitudes towards accepting refugees. Germany is relatively active and is the EU country that has received the most refugees in recent years.Nordic countries such as Denmark are relatively negative. However, if the situation in Syria, Libya and other countries continues to deteriorate, a considerable number of millions of refugees currently stranded in Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey will still regard EU countries as refugee destinations, which will put pressure on the EU.

Second, the EU needs to strengthen cooperation with other big countries in the process of coping with the changes and crisis in the Middle East.

The turmoil in the Middle East has a great impact on the political and security interests of Europe, which makes the EU pay close attention to the development of the situation in the Middle East. However, as a supranational international actor, the effect of its foreign policy has great limitations. The EU’s role as an international actor in foreign and security policy continues to be a "dwarf" image, and the foreign and security policies of nation-states within the EU are still its dominant feature. [3] The biggest disadvantage of the EU in intervening and dealing with hot issues in the Middle East is that the EU’s diplomatic executive ability is "virtual", and its political diplomatic resolutions and initiatives are not binding on its member States. In the end, the foreign policy of the European Union needs to be recognized and implemented by various countries within it to achieve results. In addition, the EU needs better cooperation with the United States, Russia and other big countries to play its role. Therefore, on many major issues in the Middle East, the EU plays a more "follower" or "coordinator" role. Of course, once there is an opportunity, the EU will spare no effort to play its role. For example, during the implementation of a comprehensive agreement on Iran’s nuclear issue, the EU’s position and attitude are crucial on issues such as lifting economic and military sanctions against Iran.

Third, the ability and effect of EU intervention in Middle East affairs are subject to many factors.

Whether it is Libya or Syria, the EU’s influence on the long-term development of internal situations in these countries is limited. After Gaddafi’s downfall, the situation in Libya continued to be turbulent, and even there was a situation of warlordism and melee, and external forces such as the European Union could do nothing about it. Regarding the situation in Syria, although the major EU countries have long cut off official ties with Bashar regime, Bashar won the domestic election for re-election in June 2014, and the EU seems to have no other better way except not to recognize it. Especially in dealing with the extreme armed threat of the Islamic State, the EU is one of the 54 countries and organizations participating in the US-led "anti-terrorist coalition". However, the EU is particularly cautious about whether to send ground troops to participate in the war. None of the EU countries have clearly stated that they will consider sending ground troops to participate in the war in the future, which shows that the EU countries are mainly concerned with preventing terrorists from infiltrating into Europe and are unwilling to send troops to fight in Syria and Iraq.

In a word, out of consideration of its own political, economic and security interests, and in order to better show its political influence, the EU keeps close attention to the development of the situation in the Middle East, but its ability and effect of intervention and intervention are also limited. Among the external forces affecting the development of the situation in the Middle East, the EU is indispensable, and it still needs to cooperate with other countries and international organizations.
