    The film "New Shaolin Temple" recently released the film’s theme song "Enlightenment", which was composed and sung by the Tianwang Andy Lau himself. Its musical style is in line with the "Zen" artistic conception to be displayed in the film. It is also the experience of the 30 years of the Tianwang Andy Lau’s debut. It is of great significance. Andy Lau will sing this song in public for the first time at the 30th anniversary of his debut "Andy Lau Unforgettable 2010 Concert".

    The film "New Shaolin Temple" is directed by Chen Musheng and directed by Yuan Kui. Andy Lau, Nicholas Tse, Jackie Chan, Fan Bingbing, Wu Jing, Yu Shaoqun, Yu Hai and others co-starred to determine that it will be released on January 19, 2011. It is regarded as the finale of the Spring Festival. The film tells the story of the warlord’s melee era, when Hou Jie (played by Andy Lau), who was originally a warlord, escaped into the air after experiencing the betrayal of his adjutant Cao Man (played by Nicholas Tse) and the pain of his wife’s separation, and worked with monks to protect the victims of the war and the Shaolin Temple.

The theme song "Enlightenment" explains the theme of the film

    The theme song of the movie "Shaolin Shaolin" is regarded as a classic film and television song to this day, so how the theme song of the movie "New Shaolin Temple" will be interpreted and who will sing it has attracted much attention. On the 19th, the film’s theme song was finally uncovered and appeared on major radio stations across the country.

    "Infinite Mind/Life Blessing/Infinite Limit/Infinite Limit/Life Breath/Love Connection/… Enlightenment/Enlightenment/Wukong/Willingness/Simply walk with you every day." Compared with the old version of "Shaolin Temple", the lyrics of the theme song of "New Shaolin Temple" are more Zen-like, which is in line with the film’s theme of "practicing Zen with martial arts" that has been repeatedly emphasized in the film’s promotion. The style of the song is the perfect fusion of Buddhist music and pop music, which not only allows the audience to experience the artistic conception of "Zen" immersively, awakens the pure heart and compassion, but also catchy melody, which is very easy to sing.

Tianwang Andy Lau’s three-day retreat

    According to the director Chen Musheng, the lyrics of the theme song "Enlightenment" are the masterpiece of Andy Lau, the king of heaven. "Originally, we didn’t use the theme song when filming the film, but after cutting the film, I felt that I still needed a song that could express the theme of our film, so I called him and told him what kind of song I wanted, and he readily agreed." What director Chen Musheng didn’t expect was that in just three days, Andy Lau handed over the sample of "Enlightenment" to him.

    "I haven’t listened to much music for several years. I think the better movie theme songs are" Painting Heart "and" Chrysanthemum Terrace ", so when I got the sample of" Enlightenment ", I was very surprised and liked it very much. The lyrics and music style are very consistent with the style of our film. I listened to it repeatedly that night." Director Chen Musheng introduced that after he got the sample and listened to it, he called Andy Lau and asked Andy Lau to sing the song in person. "I think only he is the most suitable for singing this song, and I dare to say that this song will definitely become another classic song of his."

After scolding "cutting leeks", Wang Bicong threw 2 million to buy Jia Yueting’s new car

Original, Team Author, Shuaizhen Business Vision

Why did Wang Sicong jump into the "fire pit" when he knew that the other party was a liar?

Produced by Shuai Zhen Business Vision (ID: ailishi777)

A few days ago, Jia Yueting made a rare appearance at the China Auto Blue Book Forum and participated in the meeting by video link. This is his first public appearance in China since he left the United States for six years.

In the video, Jia Yueting wears a signature smile, with an assembled FF91 parked behind him, to prove to the outside world that the FF91 is really mass-produced.

The first batch of FF91s in mass production in the United States has been delivered to car owners, most of whom are Wall Street executives or Hollywood stars.

The appearance on the domestic auto forum this time is clearly Jia Yueting’s preparation for the sale of FF91 in China. According to people familiar with the matter, China’s first FF91 owner is the famous "national husband" Wang Sicong.

Anyone familiar with Wang Sicong knows that he rented a garage at the Peninsula Hotel in Shanghai, where more than 20 luxury cars, including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, Bentley Mulsanne, Maybach, and limited-edition Porsche, are parked, with a total value of over 100 million yuan.

Only there are no electric luxury cars.

This time, Wang Bicong threw 2 million to buy Jia Yueting’s new car, which is a bit confusing. You know, he once publicly criticized Jia Yueting on Weibo as a "liar who cuts leeks".

Why did Wang Sicong jump into the "fire pit" when he knew that the other party was a liar? The story starts with an investment made seven years ago.

01

Jia Yueting used to be the God of Wealth of Wang Sicong.

In 2009, after Wang Sicong returned from studying abroad, Wang Jianlin always wanted to train him as a successor and take over the then-thriving Wanda Group.

Wang Sicong has his own ideas. He doesn’t want people to say that he is a rich second generation of "fighting father", and wants to break out-point himself.

Therefore, Wang Jianlin gave Wang Sicong 500 million yuan as the capital base for starting a business and agreed: "This 500 million yuan loss is fine, I will give you another 500 million yuan, but if you lose again, you will honestly go back to Wanda to work."

Wang Sicong took the 500 million yuan given by his father and established an investment company called "Pusi Capital", looking for small companies with potential all over the world.

In his opinion, it is too hard for his father to make money by building a building. Real entrepreneurs should learn to let others make money for themselves.

The person who helped Wang Sicong make money was Jia Yueting.

At that time, Jia Yueting had unlimited scenery in the capital markets, holding the two major industries of LeTV film and television and LeTV sports.

Under the guidance of his wife Gan Wei, Jia Yueting turned Zhang Yimou, Guo Jingming, Sun Honglei, Huang Xiaoming, Li Bingbing, Sun Li and other celebrities into LeTV shareholders.

The famous LeTV has attracted the attention of Wang Sicong. In 2015, he invested 100 million yuan in LeTV Sports, accounting for 11% of the shares and becoming the largest shareholder.

Jia Yueting did not disappoint Wang Sicong. Under the superb capital operation of the former, LeTV Sports only took one year, and the valuation soared from 2 billion to 20 billion, which expanded by 10 times. Wang Sicong did nothing, just made 2.20 billion!

After 2017, there were a lot of self-media on the Internet, saying that Wang Sicong was not only handsome, but also very powerful. It took a few years to turn the 500 million yuan given by his father into 5 billion yuan. As expected of the "national husband" that every woman wants to marry.

In fact, Wang Sicong just followed the trend and voted for LeTV, which is no different from the "chasing high" of ordinary investors.

02

When Wang Sicong was immersed in the vanity of "national husband", Guo Taiming, the real business boss, had sensed that LeEco was going to die.

The reason was that Jia Yueting held a "buy a member and get a color TV" activity, which caught the home appliance factory by surprise. Huang Hongsheng, the boss of Skyworth, said that he had dealt with color TVs all his life, and he never dreamed that one day he would buy a color TV for free!

Under the free offensive, LeTV color TV surged forward, with annual sales reaching 6 million units, becoming the fourth largest color TV brand in the country. LeTV’s share price rose with the tide, and its valuation reached 160 billion.

Jia Yueting wanted to seize control of the color TV industry and began a series of merger plans.

He first set his sights on Skyworth and invited Huang Hongsheng to a Beijing palace for dinner. During the dinner, Jia Yueting opened two bottles of 82-year-old Lafite. After three rounds of wine, Jia Yueting stated the purpose of the dinner: he wanted to buy 30% of Skyworth’s shares at 1.5 times the price.

Huang Hongsheng is excited, which means he can cash out billions at a time.

But Mr. Jia added: LeEco will pay $100 million first, and the rest will be paid within nine months. He then produced a letter of intent for Mr. Huang to sign.

Huang Hongsheng was not drunk and said that he was not in a hurry to sign the contract. He would wait until he went back to discuss with the team.

This decision saved Skyworth.

A few days later, Huang Hongsheng received a call from Guo Taiming and also made an appointment for dinner. At the dinner, Guo Taiming said straight to the point, "I heard that Jia Yueting talked to you about the acquisition?"

Huang Hongsheng explained the situation. Guo Taiming pointed and said, "He also talked to me about buying a TV brand in my hands."

What makes Guo Taiming puzzled is that Jia Yueting’s 100 million deposit has been on the account for 8 months, why did the balance not arrive?

Guo Taiming asked Huang Hongsheng, "Do you think Jia Yueting has so much money?"

The answer is no. At the moment, LeEco’s funds are extremely tight, and there are only five months left before the collapse.

Afterwards, Huang Hongsheng rejected Jia Yueting’s acquisition offer. Guo Taiming also cancelled the deal because he did not receive the balance, earning a deposit of 100 million in vain.

Capital that sensed something was wrong began to secretly sell off LeEco’s shares. Wang Sicong, the "son", was still in the dark, and his daily concern was "Which girlfriend do you want to hang out with today?"

03

In April 2017, the LeTV empire began to disintegrate; in July, it was revealed that there were problems such as exaggerated profits and false sales; in October, Jia Yueting resigned as chairperson and went to the United States, but has not yet returned.

Wang Sicong woke up like a dream, not only did the 2 billion he earned in the early stage disappear, but even the principal of more than 1 billion was wasted.

The bad news doesn’t stop there.

In 2019, Panda Live, which he invested in and served as CEO, declared bankruptcy after losing the money-burning war, leaving 1 billion debt black hole.

Then, the entertainment company "Banana Project", which he founded, lost orders from Tencent, got into trouble, and was sued by many creditors. Wang Sicong became "Lao Lai".

A company screenwriter even knelt down to Wang Sicong in order to ask for 800,000 royalties. But only in exchange: "Go to court and sue me!"

After a series of blows, the once-famous Pulse Capital lost all its "underpants". "National husband" was suddenly beaten back to its original form and became synonymous with playboy.

The unwilling Wang Sicong took Jia Yueting to court again, demanding Jia Yueting to compensate 100 million yuan on the grounds that LeTV Sports violated the agreement.

The court upheld Wang Sicong’s request.

It is said that Jia Yueting contacted Wang Sicong privately to ensure that he would be responsible for the debt to the end, and promised to give him one when FF91 was mass-produced.

6 years later, Jia Yueting’s situation is improving. More than 20 billion in debt, he has paid more than 10 billion, only owe 9.80 billion. Wang Sicong’s 100 million probability has been paid off.

Therefore, the two repaired their relationship. Only then did the news come out that Wang Sicong bought FF91. Jia Yueting, who made a comeback, proved his ability.

Wang Sicong was courteous, and it was not surprising to buy an FF91 to support him. After all, there are no eternal friends in the mall, only eternal interests.

Coupled with "high temperature spray drip filtration" and "instantaneous fresh-locking technology", the use of the current industry’s advanced aseptic cold irrigation production line has further enhanced the high-quality taste of Wahaha coffee position lattes.

In recent years, Wahaha has launched new tricks on the joint name, AD calcium milk has cooperated with BilibiliWorld, Onmyoji, and Teddy to create "Today’s Underage IP", PH9.0 soda water has joined hands with the tide play brand to play "blind water" concept, and very cola has integrated Dunhuang IP to actively embrace Guochao culture… In addition, it also includes different brands such as Douluo Continent, Kuaikan Comics, League of Legends, DIMOO, etc., and has penetrated into various circles such as ACG, e-sports, and tide play, achieving a win-win situation of word-of-mouth and benefits.

As of the fourth quarter of 2016, "Honor of Kings" has 50 million DAU. In the past six months, the popularity of the game has gradually increased, and it has attracted the attention of Xinhua News Agency, People’s Daily and other media. I hope the game can lead positive energy and fulfill its social responsibility.

  As of the first quarter of this year, Tencent’s QQ monthly active accounts reached 861 million, and the combined monthly active accounts of WeChat and WeChat reached 938 million, an increase of 23% over the same period last year. Social and other advertising revenue increased by 67% to RMB 4.379 billion, mainly driven by advertising revenue growth from WeChat Moments, WeChat public accounts, app stores and mobile browsers.

Beijing taxi pilot real-name meter, effectively preventing drivers from changing car prices privately

  Newspaper (reporter Meng Huan) can use WeChat, Alipay to pay the taxi fare conveniently, effectively prevent taxi drivers from changing the price without permission… This morning, the reporter learned from the Municipal Transportation Commission Transportation Management Bureau that the city’s taxis have begun to pilot the real-name meter system, and gradually promote the installation this year. There are about 60,000 to 70,000 taxis in the city. At present, Beijing is regulating taxis through scientific and technological means. The city has piloted the installation of this intelligent vehicle end point all-in-one machine on more than 10,000 taxis, including Crescent Moon, BAIC, Yuyang, Wanquan Temple and other taxi companies. Some pure electric taxis in the suburbs have also begun to be installed.

  The reporter found yesterday that the service supervision card previously placed in front of the co-pilot position has been changed from a paper version to an electronic version, and the position has also been moved to the bottom of the meter to become an electronic screen. The screen displays the relevant information of the taxi and the driver. You can not only see the license plate number and the company to which the vehicle belongs, but also see the identity information of the driver and check the information of his qualification certificate.

  This all-in-one machine has electronic payment function, satellite positioning function, driver electronic certificate identification and identity authentication function, and has the function of accepting electric calls and industry shunting services, and supports driver identity and pricing information display. Passengers can pay through a variety of mobile payment methods according to the fare displayed by the all-in-one machine. It not only supports a variety of bank cards with UnionPay logos, but also supports common mobile payment methods such as WeChat and Alipay.

  The regulator can see the operation of the vehicle, the end point all-in-one machine and the driver’s qualification card are used in conjunction. The driver can only get on the bus and swipe the qualification card issued by the transportation department to sign in electronically, and the meter can be used to charge and invoice. Not only can it effectively prevent cloning taxis, but also it can prevent drivers from subcontracting taxis to unqualified personnel.

  The newly installed smart car end point all-in-one machine in taxis has a new function specially designed to encrypt the meter, which can prevent the driver from changing the amount without permission. Moreover, a taxi all-in-one machine corresponds to a meter, and the meter cannot be removed from the machine. Even if it is forcibly removed, it cannot be installed on other machines, and it is basically impossible to copy. Previously, some criminals "cloned" a taxi through illegal auto repair shops and then configured a full set of taxi equipment to modify the meter. Because the license plate number is fake, the "cloned car" driver will have no scruples and charge high fares by modifying the meter. There are also some taxi drivers who overcharge by modifying the meter to obtain illegal income.

  Master Huang, the driver of Wan Quan Yuan Taxi Company, said that the intelligent end point machine was installed about a month ago, and the company still has some old vehicles that are about to be phased out. According to the person in charge of Beijing Yuyang Taxi Company, more than 1,500 vehicles in Yuyang Taxi Company have been replaced with new equipment, and more than 500 vehicles will be installed with new equipment.

  It is also understood that the current taxi company authorities have not yet required the use of this equipment, so some taxi companies have not yet installed it, especially some smaller taxi companies, which have not been equipped with new equipment due to financial reasons.

Lu Mi, general manager of Zhejiang Haohan Energy Technology Co., Ltd. said at the press conference: "We will be committed to exploring new technologies, new services and new experiences, realizing full-scene, full-ecological and full-life cycle energy management, and solving the pain points of users’ full-scene charging experience with ecological services, becoming the driving force and guarantee for extremely awkward users to travel, and endurance for life anytime and anywhere."

After the press conference, Mr. Lu Tao was indirectly interviewed by the media in the interview, and then we will share the key contents of the interview with you.

A Interview with 2.jpg

▲ Lu Tao  General manager of Zhejiang Haohan Energy Technology Co., Ltd.

Reporter:This year, Tesla completed 500 charging piles, of which 200 were completed this year. I think we are expected to complete 290 this year. I would like to ask when all of them will be delivered. The first batch was delivered in September? Another question is whether the charging station is self-operated or a third party.

Liu Tao:First, our target plan is to complete 290 seats within this year, which is also a challenge for us. In September, the first charging station will be launched, and the overcharging station will also be launched. The light charging station is probably expected to be a little late. The second question is that all the 290 seats are self-operated.

Reporter:Regarding the charging power, Tesla’s charging power is 120kW, and Tucki’s is 90kW. What’s our charging power?

Liu Tao:We have a variety of product series, including 20kW light charging products, 60-120kW overcharged products and 360kW extremely charged products. Different products have different power. If it is equipped with a 400-volt platform, the fastest charging speed of Krypton 001 from 10% to 80%SOC can be about 30 minutes.

Reporter:Before, I saw that Krypton gave a lot of data, saying that we will deploy 360 kilowatts of charging in the future, but not in the initial 290 seats, or what?

Liu Tao:Our piles can support the maximum charging power of 360 kW, and the planning of extremely filled piles will have some technical foresight, and it will go a little ahead, which can match the vast future architecture, and it is possible to carry the future 800 V platform. .

Reporter:Let me explain that the number of 290 stations includes different powers, not all of them are the same, and the power of different gradients is different. The highest power is 360 kW.

Liu Tao:Yes, our 290-seat charging station includes extremely charging station, overcharging station and light charging station, because each station is equipped with different charging facilities and charging piles.

Reporter:What is the proportion of our high-power charging piles among the 290 seats?

Liu Tao:Now, at present, we are competing with friends in the market for some capacitor and site problems. It is not certain that the remaining current in this shopping mall can be matched to the pole-filled pile or pole-filled station. We will take measures according to local conditions. At present, there is no very accurate proportion, which may not be suitable for full announcement, but we will announce the proportion later. Now we are looking for places with land and electricity while building in batches, and there are still some uncertainties.

Reporter:What is the plan that our charging network will be initially opened to Geely Group, third parties and other brands?

Liu Tao:Our polar charging station is not open now, only for polar krypton. Our overcharging station and light charging station can be opened.

Reporter:I think we gave a free charge this morning with a thousand degrees limit. Can this car be used to run Didi?

Liu Tao:Our press conference said that it is only limited to the first non-operating car owner of YOU version, and it is definitely not possible to run Didi.

Reporter:We released the brand ZEEKR Power this morning. It is not an after-sales service system now, but a brand. So in your opinion, what is the difference between it and the after-sales service system of Krypton? Why is it a brand?

Liu Tao:Many friends regard energy replenishment or charging as a part of after-sales service. Our business system should be called energy service accurately. In energy service, energy replenishment is only one part. Energy service also includes battery operation and similar optical storage integration, micro-grid construction, etc. It is a big energy layout. In Geely’s view, the whole energy service system, including Krypton, is a very, very large plate or business unit, so it is not just a simple small link in after-sales service, so we will pay more attention to the layout and input resources of energy services than other countries, so we will become an energy company operating independently and serve the Krypton brand at the same time. Therefore, the sub-brand of krypton energy was born, which is such a situation.

Reporter:In the morning, I heard you speak on the stage, and there was a scene that the office area and scenic spot would use 20 kilowatts of light power. Is this based on cost considerations or something? The figure of 20 kilowatts is not enough for any car in public areas, because it is better to charge it quickly, and it is better to walk quickly. Why is it 20 kilowatts?

Liu Tao:Good question, as I said at the press conference, it is not necessarily directly related to the cost. Of course, we also hope to control the cost. Because there are many charging scenarios, and I just said that the light charging pile is 20 kilowatts, you just mentioned that we will also put in extremely charging stations and over-charging stations in offices or other destinations, which does not mean that these places will definitely put in or only put in light charging stations. This is not necessarily related. At the same time, I also said in the morning that we should not only charge quickly, but also charge well. The reason for charging quickly is that we have a 360 kW output including high-power extremely-charged piles, which can quickly solve the user’s needs with very urgent needs. Now I have to leave immediately after charging, and I can’t wait that long. In another case, it is well-filled. When we look back, you will find that if you are a new energy vehicle owner now, and you go to dinner with friends, you will find that it will take at least 2 hours, but it will be filled up very quickly. If you use extremely-filled piles or extremely-filled stations now, there will definitely be some overtime and delay costs, which will be a loss to the whole social resources. We definitely hope that the user will charge the car in 2-3 hours, charging it with a light pile, and you don’t have to go down to move the car. For example, it is a very painful and bad experience for you to eat a meal for 30 minutes.

Reporter bThis scene doesn’t mean that you are waiting for charging. You may have gone to the scenic spot to play, the car is charging here, and then you drive away after playing in the scenic spot, not to let you sit and wait in this scene.

Reporter:Why is the number 20?

Liu Tao:It must be a comprehensive consideration, including 20 kilowatts on the R&D side, the market side, the user side and the cost side. We don’t just say 30 kilowatts, 40 kilowatts and 50 kilowatts at will. Generally speaking, we will classify the scenes of pure electric vehicles according to the parking time. For example, we will stay at home for one night, stay in the company for one day, and stay in the mall for only 2-4 hours. We will charge about 50%-60% of the starting SOC and ending SOC data of pure electric vehicles under normal circumstances. Based on big data calculation, according to 60% of the 100-degree battery of Krypton 001, it will be charged about 60 degrees. According to the parking time of 2-4 hours, 20kW is enough, which can definitely meet the charging demand in this scene, make full use of power resources, cover more parking spaces and provide more charging parking spaces.

Reporter:Weilai said in the publicity that he hoped that every Weilai user would live in the electricity area, and how many kilometers there would be a power station. Is there such a goal for us to have a charging station within how many kilometers in the future?

Liu Tao:We don’t have a specific frame to determine how many kilometers away from the user community, because we have to consider the overall distribution of all users. At present, there is no particularly accurate way to calculate the user data because Extreme Krypton 001 has not been delivered. Second, we now feel that for all extreme Krypton car owners, we should solve the core problem first. The core problem is that we are now laying out in some places in the core of supermarkets and CBD, and solve the problem that these users often go to the scene first. It is the second step to extend it to calculate how much to do. At present, the core pain point for users is the core of the city center, not the suburbs.

Reporter:There is a new round of financing these two days. Is the sub-brand of our charging station a wholly-owned sub-brand of Geely or something else?

Liu Tao:ZEEKR Power, the sub-brand you are talking about?

Reporter:Right.

Liu Tao:This brand should not exist. It is jointly owned by several companies, and ZEEKR Power serves ZEEKR.

Reporter:Weilai’s power exchange station is just a few companies.

Liu Tao:Different, NIO Power only serves NIO (Weilai), and it does not serve other brands.

Reporter:From the profit model, for example, just now, I accepted the brand of Krypton, and the owner will have a free charge every year when placing an order this year. What is the profit model?

Liu Tao:I understand that you are planning profit points for all specific overall energy companies, or are you referring to profit points for only stations?

Reporter:Our brand.

Liu Tao:At present, our profit is related to the user experience. At this stage, we will pay more attention to the user experience, and profit is only the second priority. From the perspective of the whole energy service system, there are many companies in the market that look at the situation of new energy vehicles and energy companies in the same important position. If there are enough new energy vehicles in the market, energy companies can make more layouts through new energy vehicles, which can incubate many business models. However, in the early stage, the first thing is to sell the vehicles and implement the follow-up strategy on the basis of ownership, so it is not necessary to achieve profitability in the early stage. Of course, the two of them will have some complementary functions.

Reporter:I think the morning press conference also talked about the plan of charging cars. I am very interested in this matter. Weilai NIO Power also mentioned this thing, but now they are gradually reducing the proportion of mobile charging cars in the whole energy service. What is the initial deployment logic of our car? Priority in first-class cities or as a supplement in other cities?

Liu Tao:It suddenly occurred to me that you just had a question. You just talked about the point of profit. Now private cars are in a rapid growth trend, growing at a rate of 100% and 200%. It is a very large incremental market at present. If there are enough pure electric cars in the market, the profit part is very large. But at present, we will grasp the user experience and profit with both hands. You just mentioned the urban layout of charging cars. At present, we will give priority to the service of mobile charging stations in first-tier cities. Mobile charging cars will probably do some tests one after another in September, and it is expected to start online at the end of September.

Reporter:Will the use of charging cars be a right of users, or will there be a higher charge?

Liu Tao:At present, the charging car will be in the whole service system, and the user side and the retail side have not announced the specific rules and policies, because they are still doing some calculation and specific research work. When they announce the specific content, we will consider combining the two services of mobile charging car and valet charging (charging) to give users an experience, but at present, there is no specific plan and policy.
