　　"In the land of runes, magic is everything." This is a competitive online game operated by tencent games — — The first sentence in the background setting of League of Legends.

　　League of Legends is an e-sports game that is popular all over the world. In the game, players need to fight side by side in the Summoner’s Canyon, and finally win by turning map resources into team advantages. In reality, there is a road to the rise of a city, which coincides with the way to win this game.

　　From the "land of runes" to the southernmost city in Sichuan, China, people deeply feel that "canyons" and "rifts" actually hide "opportunities" — — Panzhihua is the only city named after flowers in China, which was born in the national third-line construction. This city opened the door of "building a complete industrial system by self-reliance" in China in the Panxi Rift Valley. Therefore, people also call Panzhihua a "hero city".

　　Two "heroes", one galloping in the online world, the other rushing in the years. This winter, the 18th League of Legends Urban Heroes Competition will be held in Panzhihua. At that time, two "heroes" will form an alliance and hand in hand present a "feast" about "heroes".

　　□ Gong Linpu Xiong Weixin, reporter of the Municipal Media Center

　　Urban landscape and game map

　　— — Clever "fit"

　　Panzhihua is located in the transition zone between Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with extremely diverse landforms.

　　"chinese national geography" once described Panzhihua as follows: a series of mountains running nearly north-south — — The Hengduan Mountains in the west, the Daliangshan Mountains in the east, and the Big Snow Mountain in the north, together with the large and small mountains in between, are mountainous and shoulder to shoulder. According to rough statistics, Panzhihua’s mountains account for more than 90% of the city’s total area, and it is a veritable "mountain kingdom."

　　There are towering mountains and "heroic" water. As the main stream of the Yangtze River, the deep mountains along the Jinsha River have turned into a zigzag bend, and many rivers such as Anning River, Dahe River and Sanyuan River shuttle between mountains like capillaries, shaping numerous canyons and valleys along the way.

　　League of Legends seems to have found the realistic projection of "Summoner Canyon" in Panzhihua.

　　Summoner’s Canyon is a map in League of Legends. In the background story of the game, it is said that the most majestic battlefield of the latest wave is "Summoner Canyon". There are three different roads running through the whole battlefield, and there are magical forces everywhere.

　　Panzhihua city is distributed in a strip shape along the Jinsha River, with a length of 20 kilometers from east to west, a width of 1-2 kilometers from north to south, and even less than 500 meters at the narrowest point. Panzhihua Avenue, Jinshajiang Avenue and Gangcheng Avenue run through the urban area. In the three-dimensional space, the city is constantly spreading from the river bank to the heights of the mountains, overlapping layers and bringing its own "canyon scenery".

　　Interestingly, the Jinsha River runs through the city, dividing the main city of Panzhihua into two areas: Jiangnan and Jiangbei, which just correspond to the red and blue camps in the League of Legends map.

　　Let’s imagine such a scene: when the player puts down the mouse, logs off from cyberspace and walks out of the arena of the urban hero competition, he suddenly finds that his city is actually a more grand "summoner’s canyon". Is this link between online games and reality full of "magic power"?

　　Summoners all over the country and even the world, welcome you to punch in the "Summoner Canyon" in the real world.

　　Urban Spirit and the Connotation of E-sports

　　— — Common "background color"

　　League of Legends is not only a game but also a sport.

　　At the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, e-sports made its debut as a formal competition for the first time. E-sports has long been not only an entertainment activity for a group of young people to sweat in the virtual world, but also a fusion of enthusiasm and competition.

　　An ordinary person can be a fruit vendor, a takeaway rider, a taxi driver, a breakfast shop owner and a construction worker … … But when he entered the world of League of Legends and teamed up with other players to fight in the land of runes, he was the "hero" who appeared. Every player with the title of "hero" on his head needs to overcome difficulties and climb towards victory through continuous efforts and struggles.

　　In this sense, "hero" is not a title, but a mission. Players are like this, and so are cities.

　　As a new industrial city in the southwest of New China, the construction and development of Panzhihua has always been closely linked with the national mission.

　　Zhong Shaoxi, a native writer in Panzhihua, wrote in the article "Mao Zedong and Panzhihua Development and Construction" that the idea of building a steel plant in Panzhihua began in early 1958. At that time, there was no large-scale steel base in the western part of China, which was very unfavorable to the development of heavy industry in the western part, and the development of rich mineral resources in Panzhihua was urgently needed for the development of steel industry in China.

　　On March 4, 1965, after receiving the written report on the preparation and work plan of Panzhihua Special Zone submitted by Lv Dong and Chi Xu, President Mao Zedong immediately instructed that "this piece is very good". Panzhihua was thus listed as the focus of "third-line construction". Later, Premier Zhou Enlai personally took the lead in arranging the specific work of Panzhihua development and construction. Builders from all over the country poured into the deep mountain valley at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan, and a legend of China’s urban development began.

　　Since then, through the arduous efforts of several generations, the heroic Panzhihua builder has built a new industrial city full of vitality, uniqueness and great potential in the desolate Panxi Rift Valley.

　　On December 22nd, 2022, "Opinions of Sichuan Provincial People’s Government of Sichuan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China on Supporting Panzhihua’s High-quality Development and Building a Common Prosperity Experimental Zone" was issued, which marked that Panzhihua has entered a new stage of development.

　　Panzhihua once again shoulders the national mission. This time, he will explore the path, create experience and provide samples for Sichuan to achieve common prosperity with practical actions of high-quality development.

　　Climbing is the common background of "heroes".

　　Urban development and industrial layout

　　— — Win-win "track"

　　Half of the netizens in the world are e-sports gamers.

　　In 2022, the global e-sports population will grow to 2.47 billion, accounting for 48.3% of the global netizens.

　　The world’s largest and fastest-growing e-sports market is China.

　　In 2022, China’s e-sports industry revenue was 144.503 billion yuan, and the e-sports population was about 488 million, ranking first in the world.

　　Gamers in China have become the ultimate winners in more and more international e-sports competitions.

　　Want to win, not only clubs and enthusiasts, but also cities aiming at the "new track".

　　The person in charge of Tencent’s e-sports said that the semi-finals and finals of the 18th League of Legends Urban Heroes Competition were held in Panzhihua, which was the first time that Tencent had entrusted its major e-sports events to prefecture-level cities. Judging from past experience, the successful landing of the competition is expected to bring new traffic to the city and release new kinetic energy for the development of the cultural tourism industry.

　　People flow, logistics and consumption … … This is the event bonus. When Panzhihua decided to incorporate e-sports into the urban industrial map, the expected return was obviously more.

　　Smart parking makes urban management more refined, data flow makes mines smarter, and e-government cloud makes people run less errands … … In recent years, with data as the core element, Panzhihua has promoted the deep integration of next-generation information technologies such as the Internet, big data and artificial intelligence with the real economy, and new products and applications of the digital economy have blossomed everywhere.

　　E-sports competition is a new outlet of digital economy, and Panzhihua naturally doesn’t want to miss it.

　　In 1965, Panzhihua became the first special zone for resource development in New China. Before 1987, it was called Dukou City. Since 1965, she is 15 years older than Shenzhen; Since 1987, she is seven years younger than Shenzhen.

　　Similarly, youth is also the "key word" of e-sports.

　　In a young city, hold a young competition. This not only promotes the brand image of Panzhihua city, but also attracts the active participation and extensive attention of young people from all over the country, injecting new vitality into the city. An e-sports "new IP" will become Panzhihua’s "youth business card"; A new format of "e-sports+"may become the engine for Panzhihua to sail to the "New Blue Ocean".

　　"Grief Point" of Panzhihua player of the steel fierce sun server in the telecom zone of League of Legends sends an invitation to Panzhihua to friends of the team almost every winter. He said, "There is no winter here, and my hands and feet will not be frozen. The sunshine of Panzhihua brings my own ‘ Open a group ’ Effect. "

　　Thank you "Sorrow Point" for introducing the city full of "magic breath".

　　Once again, I sincerely invite summoners to come to the hero city of Panzhihua this winter to witness the birth of "heroes".

On September 10th, the second model of the company was officially launched. The new car has three configuration models, and the official guide price range is 209,900-299,900 yuan. During the listing period, the limited-time preferential price is 199,900-289,900 yuan, which is equivalent to a discount of 10,000 yuan for each model.

As a medium-sized and large-scale pure electric car, the standard version and the long-life version of the Extreme Yue 07 are built on the 400V platform, and only the top performance version is the 800V platform, so the price is not too surprising, but it is not too high. Recently, the extreme Yue officially claimed that the order for new cars exceeded 5,000 units within 48 hours of listing, and the 880km long-life version accounted for 75% of these 5,000 orders, and the ASD high-end smart driving option rate was 75%.

Extreme Yue 07 is a new model jointly launched by Geely and Baidu. It is based on the vast architecture of Geely SEA, focusing on intelligent technology, equipped with a brand-new end-to-end perception model, and optionally equipped with the official version of advanced intelligent driving 2.0. This is a pure visual intelligent driving scheme, and Baidu has polished a lot of time on this intelligent driving scheme.

After the ASD(Apollo Self Driving) Apollo advanced intelligent driving assistance system is installed, the forward AEB can stop at a maximum speed of 100 km/h, and the curve AEB function is added, which can also stop in the face of the disappearance of the preceding vehicle, supporting the navigation assistance of national high-speed or urban elevated sections. It is expected that the national urban navigation assistance driving will be realized by the end of 2024. In addition, in the parking part, this system supports the functions of voice parking outside the car, narrow parking in dark light and ASD parking service.

The original price of this system is 29,900 yuan. At present, the optional price is 4,999 yuan, which is really not high. You can also subscribe on a monthly basis. The standard price is 599 yuan/month, and the right to use the car is given free of charge for 3 months.

Adhering to the design concept of Less is more, the shape of the new car is really good. The front of the car is a closed grille with a penetrating LED daytime running light strip, and the light groups on both sides are designed in an inverted T shape. The upper and lower parts are designed with intelligent interactive light groups, while the middle is a horizontally arranged LED light source with lenses. The trapezoidal air intake is below the front of the car. The whole front face is simple but not simple, and it has a good sense of movement with the clamshell cover.

The side of the car body is designed with a sliding back coupe style, and the roof line is smooth, with no door handle (pressing the button to open the electric door), hidden water tangent and hidden B-pillar, no obvious waist line, and the door cambered transition, which brings a low drag coefficient of 0.198Cd. The rear part is designed with a hatchback tailgate and a super-running wide-body rear shoulder, with a through taillight group, and the two sides are made into a split style, which is very recognizable.

The new car offers six body colors to choose from, including: Aurora Green, Deep Space Black, Technical White, Titanium Crystal Grey, Galaxy Purple and Space Silver, etc. The optional cost of Titanium Crystal Grey and Galaxy Purple is 6000 yuan, which is free during the listing period.

The interior is made in a minimalist style. The center console is equipped with a 35.6-inch penetrating screen, with a D-shaped dual-spoke, and a U-shaped semi-spoke is optional for a limited time. All the buttons and knobs in the car are simplified, and only two rollers and four button indicators are reserved on the steering wheel, which are used to control the left and right turn signals, wipers and lighting functions respectively. Just like Tesla, the gears are integrated in the screen, and the sliding shift mode is adopted.

At present, this design is a trend, but whether it is good or not, for drivers who are used to dialing the lever to light, it will be unaccustomed to suddenly changing to the button type, especially when the steering angle of the steering wheel is larger in the turning state, so it is difficult to distinguish the left and right control of the light. If it is changed to a semi-spoke steering wheel, it will not be difficult to use it without turning back, but this kind of steering wheel also needs to be adapted, especially when the vehicle is moving at low speed or turning around.

The length of the car is 4,953 mm, the width is 1,989 mm, the height is 1,480 mm, and the wheelbase of the new car is 3,013 mm. Although it is a coupe body posture, there is no problem in the interior space. Passengers with a height of 175 cm have more than one punch in the front and rear rows, and more than two punches in the leg space when sitting in the second row.

The hatchback tailgate design is adopted, which has a large opening and is convenient to take things. The trunk has a small conventional volume and a general width, and the back of the rear seat is supported in proportion, with a maximum volume of 1573 liters.

In terms of power, the new car has two single-motor models and one dual-motor model. The maximum power of a single motor is 200 kW, and the zero-hundred acceleration is 6.9 seconds and 6.5 seconds respectively, so the power is sufficient. The version uses the first 230 and the last 300 kW motors, and the fastest zero-hundred acceleration is 3.5 seconds. It is equipped with 71.4/100/93.4 kWh battery packs, and the corresponding cruising range is 660/880/770 respectively. Support fast charging, but all models do not provide slow charging port, which is a bit inappropriate and supports external discharge.

The chassis suspension adopts front double wishbone and rear multi-link independent suspension, and the top model is equipped with iRTD real-time damping adjustable vibration reduction system, which can monitor the road surface to adjust the damping at a speed of 500 times per second in real time, bringing more comfortable driving experience.

　　In 2023, after three years of silence, offline concerts ushered in a strong recovery. 140,000 tickets for Jay Chou’s 7 concerts were sold out in one second, and nearly 300,000 tickets for 6 concerts in Mayday were sold out in 5 seconds. As of early July, Liang Jingru, Liu Ruoying and Zheng Jun started singing in Beijing. The Damai App shows that concert tickets for artists such as Lu Han, Ren Xianqi and Xu Wei, which will be held from mid-July to mid-August, have all been sold out. It has become the norm to have a ticket.

　　The number of large-scale music festivals and concerts has increased by more than 35 percent compared with the same period in 2019, according to data from the China Performance Industry Association, as large-scale performances have recovered rapidly since the first quarter of this year. To some extent, the performance economy can drive economic development along the way, including transportation, accommodation, catering, tourism and other fields. Take the Wang Yuan concert in Chongqing as an example. According to statistics, 85% of the audience came from outside Sichuan and Chongqing.

　　The venue schedule for the "restart" of the 10,000-level performance in March has been scheduled for August next year

　　When did the performance market become "branched" after the COVID-19 pandemic implemented Type B and B tubes? On March 26 this year, Old Wolf Beijing started singing. This is the first large-scale concert held in Beijing in the past three years, and it is also the opening debut of the Beijing Cadillac Center. Beijing Cadillac Center is an important part of Huaxi LIVE · Wukesong, and Huaxi LIVE currently covers three cities, namely Beijing, Chongqing, and Chengdu. The first two cities are "10,000 People Hall". On March 25, the Old Wolf concert landed in Beijing, and from March 25 to 26, the "Chongqing Banan Zhuguang Shanhai (Appointment of Land and Sea) Music Festival" was held in Chongqing, which led to the "restart" of 10,000-level performances in the two cities.

　　"At the beginning of the year, we didn’t have a particularly strong confidence, because watching performances is not a necessity of life, it is a spiritual consumption, and how to let everyone pay attention to this field was the focus of exploration at that time. The Old Wolf concert went through months of preparation, and from worrying about attendance to empty tickets and hard to find a ticket, this performance became an industry model." Wen Wen, general manager of culture and sports of Huaxi Group, said that at the beginning of this year, due to concerns about the uncertain market situation, the agreed venue for the performance was usually booked first, and the ticket sales were good before adding a performance. After March, it became two or even more performances. "Everyone’s confidence was stimulated."

　　Beijing Cadillac Center, also known as Wukesong Gymnasium, is the venue for the basketball competition of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Since 2011, Huaxi Group has built Huaxi LIVE · Wukesong around the facilities of Wukesong Gymnasium, and gradually developed into a sports service complex integrating large-scale sports events, large-scale cultural performances, sports training, national fitness and other formats.

　　In 2023, the performance schedule of Wukesong Stadium reached a historical high, with the highest number of performances reaching more than 10 in a single month. In the second half of 2023, the highest number of single-month reservations reached 12. The schedule for 2024 has also been arranged until August.

　　The venue dominates the "schedule" performance market, which brings double challenges

　　The "full" performance posed a new challenge to the venue.

　　Similar to Taipei’s Little Arena and Hong Kong’s Hung Hom Stadium, Beijing’s Huaxi LIVE has become an industry benchmark in the mainland performance market. The first challenge is how to balance the needs of all parties when influential artists want to come here to hold concerts. Wen Wen said that there are mainly two dimensions to consider. The first is to return to its own positioning. Huaxi LIVE mainly targets young consumer groups under the age of 35. Considering that they want to watch the performance, they will continue to release enthusiasm after the performance and drive other business matching formats, so they will choose artists according to the preferences of such groups. The second dimension is to consider the market appeal of artists, such as Li Zongsheng, Zhou Huajian and other leading figures in the Chinese music industry will sing in Beijing this year. They not only have strong market influence, but are also irreplaceable.

　　In addition, the popularity of the song, the recent popularity of the artist, and the artist’s own tour schedule should also be taken into account. These criteria are interspersed with each other, and decisions are made through comprehensive evaluation.

　　At present, 85% of domestic artists will choose to hold concerts in the stadium. And a performance requires a certain cycle from stage construction, rehearsal, to official performance and withdrawal. Therefore, the second challenge facing the venue is how to quickly complete the transition when the schedule is saturated? It is understood that at present, the Beijing Cadillac Center will match the needs of the performers to tour multiple cities according to the principle of "schedule advance, one-stop booking". As long as this schedule is determined, all the needs of the performers can be met. And, from an operational point of view, the venue has achieved uninterrupted staff and continuous rotation 365 days a year, enabling fast switching between venues.

　　After the market surge, it will calm down, and there is still room for improvement as a whole

　　Will the recovery of the performance economy be sustainable or "retaliatory rebound"? Wen Wen believes that, on the whole, people’s spiritual and cultural needs match the speed of economic development. China’s performance market still has a large market potential waiting to be tapped, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

　　From a single year perspective, the explosive growth in 2023 is not a completely normal state, but a big surge after the market has been backlogged for a long time. This surge will gradually calm down, but calm does not mean the decline of the overall market, but a return to the normal state. "The box office of many artists this year has exceeded our expectations. It will take time to test whether it becomes normal."

　　In addition, with regard to the negative phenomena such as scalpers caused by the explosion of the performance market, Wen Wen said that currently, from the government to ticketing companies to venues, they are all working together to promote this link on the right track, including the implementation of strong real-name electronic tickets, on-site verification of the integration of people and witnesses, and on-site reservation of blank areas to deal with personnel changes and other measures to further standardize the market.

　　Break the "self-investment and self-construction" joint performance upstream and downstream to solve the problem of the venue

　　In recent years, Wukesong Stadium has hardly undertaken any large-scale events and performances except for the protection of important sports events and the Honor of Kings Winter Champions Cup Finals in 2020. This "cold winter" is regarded by Wenwen as a process of survival of the fittest in the entire industry. Now that the performance economy has recovered, Huaxi LIVE hopes to further exert its blood-making ability and travel lightly to drive the development of the industry. For example, the small and medium-sized venues built in Chengdu that can accommodate about 3,000 people can realize standing performances, which is equivalent to a large livehouse, which is more in line with the needs of young people and more flexible for holding piano concerts, e-sports competitions, concerts and other activities.

　　At the same time, Huaxi will break through the "self-investment and self-construction" model, turn the team’s operation and maintenance capabilities, management standards and other resources into "light assets", and cooperate with other existing cities (first-tier and quasi-first-tier) sports venues to operate, such as the current attempt in Xi’an. In addition, it will also contact the upstream and downstream industries to match some cities and venues for performers in a targeted manner, so as to provide better venue services quickly.

It’s getting less and less useful.　

"33 minutes of use, the amount payable is 5 yuan." After returning the shared power bank in a shopping mall in Beijing, Yang Hui (a pseudonym) stared at the payment page on his mobile phone and sighed again.　

When the bubble of sharing economy such as shared bicycles, shared cars, and shared umbrellas burst, only shared power banks came all the way to the end. At present, the market pattern of "three electricity and one beast" dominated by street electricity, small electricity, incoming calls and monster charging has been formed. On May 19, "Shared Charging First Share" Monster Charging released its first financial report since listing. Data show that its 2021 Quarter 1 operating income was 846.90 million yuan, an increase of 162.5% year-on-year.　

Head-sharing charging operators seem to have survived well, but they have been criticized for gradually raising rental prices. What is the logic behind the price increase? Is the price increase a normal market behavior, or is it a new round of "cutting leeks" after the operator’s "horse race"?

Why have prices risen?

The payment information shown to reporters by Yang Hui shows that using a brand of shared power bank for 33 minutes requires a payment of 5 yuan.　

The increase in the price of shared power banks has attracted the attention of consumers as early as 2019. Recently, with the surge in user scale and landing scenarios, prices have risen again. Consumers have felt strongly about this, which has further promoted the topic.

At present, the billing system of shared power banks is mainly divided into free time, billing standard, billing unit, daily cap price, and total cap price. After sorting out the adjustments made by operators to several of the standards in recent years, the reporter found that any change in the standard will affect the rental price accordingly.

Taking incoming calls as an example, in 2019, users can charge for free for 2 hours in a single consumption, while the free time in 2020 and 2021 has been cancelled; in terms of billing standards, it will cost 1 yuan per 30 minutes in 2019 and 2 yuan per 30 minutes in 2020; in terms of billing units, it will be charged every 30 minutes in 2019 and 2020, less than 30 minutes will be charged for 30 minutes, and in 2021 it will be charged per hour, and less than 1 hour will be charged for 1 hour.

"Maybe the two-hour free time is about the same. Now not only has the free time been shortened or cancelled, but the billing standard has also been changed, and it is obvious that more money is spent." Yang Hui said. It is worth noting that even if the billing standard has not changed on some platforms, the adjustment of the billing unit will make consumers pay more for the same time. For example, under the premise of the same 1 hour and 15 minutes of use, the user will pay 1.5 yuan more for a billing unit that charges 3 yuan per hour than a billing unit that charges 1.5 yuan per 30 minutes.

The adjustment of the billing system, coupled with the different landing scenarios, has further caused the rental price to rise. After visiting several business districts in Beijing, the reporter found that the rental price of shared power banks is basically stable at 2 to 3 yuan per hour, and KTV, bars, Internet celebrity stores, popular scenic spots and other places with high traffic will reach 4 to 5 yuan per hour.

Jiang Han, a senior researcher at Pangu Think Tank, told the China Reporter that the core purpose of the price increase is to seek more financing. "When the sharing economy became a trend, it may be possible to raise enough funds with a PPT, and now the market has passed the’burning money ‘period. Most consumers driven by electricity anxiety will not choose to abandon it because of price issues, which is why operators dare to risk user churn to rashly increase prices when they are short of money." Chen Liteng, a life service e-commerce analyst at the Internet Economic and Social Research Center, also told reporters that shared power banks used to be "horse racing" at a low price, without considering income. Now the market is mature, users have formed usage habits, and platforms are more concerned about sustainable development.

From the perspective of the profit model, it may be more revealing the logic behind the price increase. Experts say that the way for shared power bank operators to make money is to continuously pave the way. When there are more and more entrants, in order to seize market share, operators can only accept high admission fees and give merchants certain bargaining rights. The prospectus from Monster Charging shows that its commission rate has risen from 42.7% in 2019 to 44.1% in 2020, and the entrance fee has increased by as much as 260%.

The reporter learned that there are currently two types of merchants laying shared power banks: buyout type and franchise type. Under the buyout type, after purchasing from the operator, the merchant takes all the proceeds of the user’s rental and has the right to adjust the unit price of the rental; under the franchise type, the merchant and the platform share the proceeds. It is worth noting that the sharing ratio between the two parties is gradually imbalanced. "At present, the merchant will take 70% of the profits and withdraw cash from the Mini Program every month." A ground marketing staff of the small electric power bank told the China Report reporter that for stores that want to increase prices, the small electric does not specify the price increase range, but will give suggestions according to market conditions, "It is too outrageous and will damage our image, and users will not accept it."

Under multiple factors, price increases seem inevitable, and operators are becoming more and more cautious. The ground marketer revealed that whether it is new points or old contract renewal points, the net profit that merchants can eventually bring to operators has become a new standard for measuring performance. "This is completely different from the more you shop, the more money you get."

What are the key factors for future competition in the industry?

On April 1 this year, Monster Charging was listed on Nasdaq. (The picture comes from the Internet)

Will the price of shared power banks continue to rise?

"Changes in prices will inevitably affect the number of users. This is a dynamic process. As long as there is market demand, appropriate price adjustments will help maximise the platform’s revenue, while the retention of users will inhibit price fluctuations and gradually form a suitable price system," Chen Liteng said. Jiang Han believes that with the monopoly in the regional scope, operators can have a certain amount of room for price increases. If it exceeds the tolerance limit of consumers, it may lead to a crisis of trust.

In fact, it is not only the price issue, but also the overlord clause, difficult return, slow charging speed and other issues of shared power banks, as well as factors such as smart phone battery life capacity enhancement and low price of online power banks, which also make the profit model The development of a single shared power bank industry is increasingly limited.

On April 1 this year, Monster Charging became the "first share of shared power banks" in China, and Jiedian and Sodian also announced the completion of the merger on the same day. Subsequently, Xiaodian Technology sprinted to Hong Kong stocks. As early as May last year, Meituan announced its re-entry into the field of shared power banks. Industry insiders speculate that with the high stickiness between consumers, Meituan’s entry may change the industry landscape.

"Increasing prices is not the ultimate solution to the problem, and the merger of Street Power and Soupower is also normal. Now it is either a group to keep warm or to speed up the listing, which is an inevitable development outcome." Jiang Han analyzed that in addition to renting the majority of the income of shared power bank operators, there is also a small amount of advertising business and power bank sales. If you want to achieve long-term sustainable development, you must find profitable business models. "From the current point of view, these models are not profitable."

Shared power banks are also seeking to make great progress. "Bamang Technology", established after the merger of Jiedian and Soudian, will create innovative consumer scenes, and has launched smart end points such as mask machines and body temperature monitors; Monster Charging also positions itself as a "technology consumer company" and crosses the Baijiu business.

"What should we do? Or what is the right thing to do? No one can give a clear answer now, but from a diverse perspective, is there any other way to get more revenue? Or like Meituan, there are other businesses that can be used as support, and sharing power banks is just a means to improve user stickiness, or to improve service levels." Jiang Han said.

2021 is the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan". Facing the topic of "adhering to innovation-driven development, accelerating the construction of a new development pattern of a modern industrial system, improving the quality of economic development, and maintaining sustainable and healthy economic development", how can new infrastructure service providers represented by cloud computing better play the role of technology platforms, empower industrial economic innovation, and promote regional sustainable development? How to improve enterprise efficiency, promote regional enterprise cooperation, and consolidate the elements of enterprise development and innovation? Hong Fangming, president of Huawei Cloud China, expressed his views on the above issues in an interview with China Business News.

From a manufacturing power to a "smart" manufacturing power

After a year of unparalleled changes in a century, how enterprises can cope with difficulties and how to transform and upgrade has become an urgent proposition to be solved. The state has launched new infrastructure, and enterprises have accelerated their digital transformation. In the past year, we have seen a phenomenon. Those companies that can actively embrace digitalization and actively invest in online have shown a good development trend as a whole. On the contrary, those companies that use traditional methods and do not change the offline model, whether in sales or supply chain, are facing huge challenges as a whole. As people say, the SARS epidemic in 2003 accelerated the development of the consumer Internet, and the sudden COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 will accelerate the process of enterprises going to the cloud.

Today, our country is transforming from a manufacturing power to a "smart" manufacturing power. Enterprises need to transform and upgrade through digital means and digital empowerment in all aspects, such as research and development, production and manufacturing, supply chain, marketing, and service. This is also the key to how to change the current situation and how to take the next step under the current economic development situation. By visiting more than 30 provinces and cities across the country in 2020, we found that the technology gathered on the cloud is bringing great changes to the industry and society.

Urban industrial clusters need to move from small, scattered, and low-energy to high, refined, and cutting-edge

The development stage and state of a local industrial cluster determine the active level of a region’s economic development, and also reflect the situation of people’s livelihood and employment. It can be said that the regional industrial cluster determines the development, people’s livelihood and employment of a region, which is a very important development indicator.

In a conference held by Huawei Cloud in early January 2020, the director of the Bureau of Industry and Information Technology of a certain place said that although the local area has been ranked among the top 100 industrial zones in the country, the internal and external challenges in the past year have made him deeply feel the difficulties of the entire manufacturing industry: the cost of factory labor and land has been rising, the export situation has changed, the industrial structure is in urgent need of reorganization, and entrepreneurs have also expressed their urgent desire for transformation and upgrading.

Due to the limitations of formation conditions, industrial clusters in our country mostly focus on traditional processing fields, developing in the form of small workshops, and lack scientific and technological innovation. At present, traditional industrial clusters are facing challenges such as increasing labor costs, increasing social costs, and shortage of talents. Relying on simple replication for scale expansion, the form of spreading big cakes cannot achieve sustainable development. Industrial clusters need to move from small, scattered, and low-energy to high, refined, and cutting-edge development. How to complement R & D, market, supply chain, and service capabilities, realize supply chain elongation, and integrate upstream and downstream supply chains to obtain higher profits is the core appeal of industrial cluster development.

It is undeniable that there are many excellent enterprises in our industrial clusters that are doing very well and have reached a very top position in the world, but there are still a considerable number of small and medium-sized enterprises that have not reached this level. To evaluate the active level of an economy, it is not to have a few large enterprises, but more importantly to look at the activity of thousands of small and medium-sized enterprises. It is a key response for the country to solve employment and improve the overall economic active level. And the cloud platform that brings together various technologies and ecosystems just provides the technical business means needed for change.

Moving from simple connections to deeply empowering

Huawei has amassed a wealth of experience in the field of electronic information manufacturing over the past 30 years, whether it is from supply chain research and development, marketing, service, or in the industry precipitation of technology and marketing capabilities, Huawei hopes to use the cloud to bring its accumulated experience to empower various industries, empower society, and realize the company’s vision of bringing the digital world into everyone, every family, and every organization to build a smart world connected to all things.

In the process of business expansion, Huawei Cloud has learned about the characteristics of China’s economy itself and the characteristics of industrial clusters, and put forward the concept of "industrial cloud". Based on cloud infrastructure, an urban industry empowering platform that integrates industrial ecological resources to provide technologies, solutions, and industrial practice services provides a core driving force for promoting the integration of urban production and number, industrial innovation and upgrading, and reshaping the new industrial pattern. In essence, the demand for informatization and digitalization in today’s economic development has given birth to the concept and model of industrial cloud. At the same time, industrial cloud also responds to the question of where and how to transform and upgrade the industry in the process of supply, marketing, and service.

Different from the industrial Internet, which focuses on connecting various data and production materials of enterprises, so as to provide enterprises with the kinetic energy for transformation and upgrading; in addition to the connection function, the industrial cloud also provides enterprises with industrial empowerment and rich offline services, including the best experience of the industry, while combining a variety of advanced technical means.

Manufacturing cannot be simply defined by the production process. R & D and sales are actually key links in serving the manufacturing industry. Only with an enterprise system that completes research, sales, supply, production, and service can it be a true modern manufacturing industry. However, born out of domestic manufacturing enterprises such as processing with incoming materials, it is urgent to transform to modern manufacturing. Take the United States as an example. The proportion of manufacturing in the United States is relatively low, but if you look at the entire GDP of the United States, you will find that a very large part of the industry serves the manufacturing industry. This kind of manufacturing service industry accounts for about 50% of the overall manufacturing industry. If our country wants to move from a manufacturing power to a smart manufacturing power, it must work hard on this. In the face of the unclear concept of China’s industrial upgrading, the current situation of "hard" and "soft" is not simply to provide a cold technology to solve, but also to empower, to have a team to serve the industry, to teach these original traditional manufacturing industries how to achieve the next jump.

Huawei’s own industry is relatively wide, from the original service to operators, to government and enterprises, and then to consumer BG, you can think of Huawei as a traditional manufacturing industry, a high-tech enterprise, and a retail enterprise. Therefore, Huawei Cloud has rich accumulation in the above fields, including technology, marketing, supply chain, service and other aspects. Huawei Cloud will export these capabilities through the form of industrial cloud to empower the industry, which is also the biggest value point and difference point of Huawei Cloud.

A small step for enterprises to go to the cloud, a major leap for industrial clusters

At present, Huawei Cloud has landed in more than 120 innovation centers and industrial cluster bases across the country, and has joined more than 300 partners including MES, CAD, supply chain management, production management, software suppliers, etc., to provide digital transformation services for 17,000 enterprises.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, an electronic information enterprise in Dongguan, based on Huawei Cloud Industrial Internet, the big data platform created by the platform FusionPlant helped it to achieve an orderly resumption of work and production, ensuring the occurrence of 0 epidemic cases. At the same time, the efficient and convenient management brought by the visualization of the big data platform has also solved the remote control problem that many foreign employees cannot resume work in many process production links, and manages the production quality control of the entire production line. This is what we think is a very typical use case of an enterprise.

Facing the characteristics of China’s industrial economy and the key nodes facing the industry, how can its next jump be realized? For each industry, where is the future going and where is the next jump? This is the most concerned issue in the upstream and downstream industrial chains of urban industrial clusters.

The automotive industry, ICT industry, medical apparatus and pharmaceutical industry are the three pillar industries of the global economy. In the automotive industry, Huawei Car BU proposes to help car companies "build and sell good cars", use its own capabilities in research and development, manufacturing, marketing, etc., to drive the development of the upstream and downstream industrial chain of intelligent networked vehicles, and do some exploration and innovation work around automobile companies to help car companies transform and upgrade from the traditional fuel vehicle industry to the electric vehicle industry; in the electronic information industry, which is facing the pressure from low-end to high-end, Huawei helps the electronic information industry to achieve the next leap through its own practice; in the materials and pharmaceutical industries, many studies currently rely on a lot of laboratory experimental work, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Huawei Cloud makes use of its vast computing and IOT capabilities, combined with previous research and development achievements, to enhance the entire process of drug and material research and development.

With the industrial cloud empowering transformation and upgrading, through the continuous progress of technology, the continuous development of industry, and the continuous improvement of partner capabilities, we will provide the kinetic energy for the industry to upgrade and leap, and consolidate the "black land" of the intelligent world. We must embrace talents and continue to move forward, drive Chinese enterprises to take a small step in the cloud, lead industrial upgrading, and realize a big step in the leap of China’s industrial clusters, and truly realize a leap in the industry!
