As a new generation of constellation months has been officially launched, the new car will be replenished on the basis of the present-day advantage. The official holiday will result in a section entitled “Comprehensiveness to meet the needs of the scene, in comfort, in safety and in the fulfilment of personal identity and special pursuit”.

On the external side, the whole new generation of constellation months continued to use the construction design, with the front face and the current section adopting a six-side lip-design, while in the details, the horizontal grid of the current amount was revamped into the cradle design, the internalization of the two-folding designs of arsenic and blackification, and the level and sense of luxury were raised.

The top lamps use the matrix LED source and the shifting light is also dynamic. In addition, a LED light was concealed on the floor of the gas grid, which would then be integrated with a large light, with a stronger spin-off feeling.

With regard to the size of the vehicle, the length of the new vehicle is 4970/1940/1792mm and the ax is 2900mm. The overall three peripheral size is the same as the current paragraph, but only because of the optimization of the comfort of the bottom, there is a slight adjustment in the current price for the vehicle height.

The new vehicle employs 20 inches of multiple irradiating circles, which are more compatible with the rigid style of the car. On the tires side, it is matched by a wooden brand typ in a size of 245/50 R20.

The end styles of the vehicle are simple to the atmosphere and are consistent with the wheel style. Several line strips were placed in the backup box, adding several layers to the end of the vehicle.

In contrast, the blocking plates of the ceiling add some elements of time to the end of the vehicle. The LED belt, which cuts across the end of the vehicle, appears to be very visually shocked after the night. At the same time, the post-insurance leverage uses a golden bench and is equipped with a bulldozer bilaterally with real prices.

The internal jewellery component, which has been introduced by a new generation of constellations in mid-months, is officially presented on board asterisk, and is designed to serve as an overall brand with more leverage, while simplifying the entity’s keys. Compared to the two-track designs sold, there has been a significant increase in luxury and science and technology.

In the details, the entire new generation of inner-months can be covered by large-scale piercing material in the region. Two-smale dressings, combined with real wood on the balconies and on the doorboard, as well as the steel masked blackboard, make it quite clear that the sense of luxury in the car is raised.

The size of the dashboard, the medium-controlled barrier and the side-drivers is 12.3, 15.6 and 12.3, respectively, with a resolution of 1080 p. In addition, complementing the W-HUD display system can bring about a more scientific and technological driving environment.

The new vehicle is equipped with a completely new Lion 5.0 Cougar cloud system, which is simple and results-based. It is worth noting that at the end of the entire new generation of constellations, 8155 chips with high specifications are available for four seconds, better than industry, five seconds for identification, 30 seconds for more than 20 consecutive instructions, and two times for extremely rapid speech dialing.

The system also supports HiCar/Carplay, with 100-degree maps, bars, chicticultural apps, etc., with strong functionality. The system also supports the full-fledged HMI mobile telephone interaction, the full vehicle support for the intelligent audio interchange (a record-building rate of 98 per cent), remote APP vehicle remote sensing, the FOTA upgrade, and the expansion of the sea size APP model, multi-purpose vehicle landscape models.

In addition, support was provided for driver’s status testing, in-personal condition testing, in-person viewing and hand-held testing of members of the vehicle, identification of human face and unconscious logging, and full security of the vehicle.

On the side of the chairs, the full generation of chairs for the months of the wheel is soft, and the footprint of the diamond is visible. Former platoons support ventilation, heating, Mosul.

The addition of the Queen’s Deputy, based on the main driving function, has also resulted in the addition of additional chairs (squattto), deputy chairs 6 to electric motors (high/down/back/back-to-back) and associated vehicle systems (supporting voice control).

A new generation of constellations provides two chairs, two +2+2 and two + 3+2, and it is worth noting that the intermediate chairs of both chairs are supporting chairs plus heat, ventilation, while the third chairs support electric wheeling functions.

With regard to security configurations, a new generation of constellations is also equipped with a high-level ADS driving support system, which includes W-HUD high-清 digital backup function, HWA highway support, NOC high-speed navigation support, ELK emergency vehicle maintenance function, HPA memories, FCTB/RCTB/post-crop interconnection braking function and MEB low-speed emergency braking function.

On the power side, a new generation of constellations will continue to carry a nuclear power of 2.0T per month, with a maximum capacity of 261 horses, with a maximum cadmium of 400 blews. The 2.0T pattern was also upgraded to the Email 8AT transformer box, in addition to the four-wheeled vehicle model with the sixth generation of the Boghua Four System.

Summary

The upscaling of the entire new generation of constellations is still very clear, and the luxury of jeopardy is very much higher than the current pattern, although some of the models are still visible. But I am confident that consumers are very well recognized for this luxury climate.

After a long discussion with nearly 400 members of the foundation, the majority voted 234 in favor and 94 against to abolish cryptocurrency contributions. The main focus of the debate involves the environmental impact of bitcoin, the risk of fraud, and the relatively small number of cryptocurrency donations received by the foundation compared with other forms of payment. According to the foundation, it received cryptocurrency contributions worth US $130100.94 in 2021, accounting for only 0.08% of its total contributions. After the vote, the foundation held an internal discussion and called for the termination of cryptocurrency donation for the last time.

Molly white, a senior editor of Wikipedia, tweeted on May 1, “the Wikimedia Foundation has decided to stop accepting cryptocurrency donations. The decision was based on the community’s request that the foundation no longer accept cryptocurrency donations, and was made after a three-month discussion that ended earlier this month.

The Wikimedia Foundation began accepting donations of bitcoin, bitcoin cash and ether in 2014, but a series of problems prompted the organization to reassess this policy. In January, Molly white proposed to stop accepting cryptocurrency donations, saying it contradicted the organization’s commitment to environmental sustainability and showed that the Wikimedia Foundation supported “natural predatory” investments.

White (whose user name on Wikipedia is gorilla Warware) also mentioned the Mozilla Foundation’s reassessment of its involvement in the field of encryption. After Mozilla tweeted to remind users of the company’s acceptance of donations of bitcoin and ether, the move was strongly opposed by users, developers and Jamie zawinski, one of the founders. The foundation finally decided to stop donating cryptocurrency in April this year

“I’m really happy that the Wikimedia Foundation has implemented the request from its community, and I’m really proud that my community has made what I think is an ethical decision after a lot of thoughtful discussion.” White said in a statement to the media: “cryptocurrency as a potential donation income has too many problems and is not worth paying the cost to help legalize it.”

The foundation concluded that it “will continue to pay attention to this issue” and “remain flexible and responsive to the needs of volunteers and donors”.

This is the first time that the operating revenue of Ningde times has exceeded 100 billion yuan. Meanwhile, Ningde times previously predicted that the company’s profit in 2021 was about 14 billion ~ 16.5 billion yuan, and the actual profit was close to the upper limit of the forecast. In addition, a number of institutions have predicted the average profit of Ningde era last year was 11.23 billion yuan, which also means that the performance of Ningde era exceeded market expectations.

Affected by this news, as of the noon closing on April 22, Ningde times’ share price was 417.5 yuan, up 2.05%, with a total market value of 973.1 billion yuan.

Gross profit margin continued to decline

Last year, the better than expected performance of Ningde times was mainly based on its growing sales of power batteries.

According to SNE research, the global power battery industry maintained a high-speed growth trend in 2021, with an annual installed capacity of 296.8gwh, a year-on-year increase of 102.3%. Among them, from 2017 to 2021, the installed capacity of power batteries in Ningde times ranked first in the world for five consecutive years. In 2021, the global market share of Ningde times was 32.6%.

According to the financial report, last year, according to the product classification, the operating revenue of Ningde times power battery system was 91.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 132.06%, accounting for more than 70% of the total operating revenue; The operating revenue of lithium battery materials and energy storage system increased significantly, with a year-on-year increase of more than 3.5 times and 6 times to 15.46 billion yuan and 13.62 billion yuan respectively.

Last year, Ningde era’s overseas business also achieved a higher growth rate, up 2.5 times year-on-year to 27.87 billion yuan.

Although the performance achieved a higher than expected growth, the gross profit margin of Ningde era fell year after year due to factors such as the rise in the price of raw materials.

In 2021, the operating cost of Ningde era was 96.094 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 164.36%, which exceeded the growth rate of operating revenue, which also led to the year-on-year decrease of 1.48 percentage points to 26.28% of Ningde era’s gross profit margin. Among them, the gross profit margin of power battery system was 22%, down 4.56 percentage points year-on-year, and the gross profit margin of energy storage system was 28.52%, down 7.51 percentage points year-on-year.

Last year, the operating cost of lithium battery direct materials in Ningde era was 77.875 billion yuan, accounting for more than 84% of the total operating cost, an increase of 2.87 percentage points year-on-year.

Ningde Times said in the financial report that the main raw materials required by the company’s production and operation include cathode materials, cathode materials, diaphragm and electrolyte. The above raw materials are greatly affected by the prices of bulk commodities such as lithium, nickel and cobalt or chemical raw materials. Affected by the price changes of relevant materials and market supply and demand, the purchase price and scale of the company’s raw materials also fluctuate to a certain extent. At the same time, the price of raw materials represented by lithium carbonate has risen sharply, putting great pressure on the cost.

In order to cope with the rise of raw materials, Ningde times has established an information system to track the market supply and demand and price changes of important raw materials in time, so as to ensure the supply of raw materials and control the procurement cost through measures such as advance procurement. In addition, Ningde times has taken measures such as signing long-term association orders, investment cooperation, recycling and self mining to ensure the safety of the supply chain, dynamically adjust the prices of some battery products, and transmit the pressure of raw material price rise to a certain extent.

Previously, the relevant person in charge of a new energy vehicle enterprise told the first financial reporter that since the second half of last year, the price of Ningde times power battery has increased twice. According to the battery cost of a new energy vehicle, the price has increased by 20000 yuan.

After trading on April 19, there was a market rumor that the performance of Ningde era in the first quarter of 2022 was lower than expected and may not reach 5 billion yuan. Some researchers pointed out that the accuracy of rumors is difficult to assess. If it is true, the reason why the performance of Ningde times is lower than expected or the favorable price of lithium carbonate price rise is not timely.

On April 20, the share price of Ningde times fell 7.55% to 407 yuan, and the total market value directly fell below trillion yuan. On April 21, the lowest share price of Ningde times fell below 400 yuan, and finally closed slightly to 409.11 yuan.

Tesla purchased more than 13 billion last year

According to the financial report, in 2021, the total sales of the top five customers of Ningde era accounted for 31.32% of the total sales, an increase of 1.62 percentage points compared with 2020. Among them, the sales of the first largest customer was 13.04 billion yuan, accounting for 10% of the total annual sales.

Subsequently, Ningde times pointed out in its annual report that last year, the performance amount of the purchase contract between the company and Tesla was 13.04 billion yuan, which means that the largest customer of Ningde times is Tesla.

Two cooperation agreements have been signed between Ningde times and Tesla. One is in February 2020, and the locked supply period is from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2022; The other is in June 2021, locked from January 2022 to December 2025. These two times are the time when the batteries of Ningde era began to be supplied to domestic model 3 and model y in batches.

In 2020, the sales volume of Ningde era to Tesla was 1.626 billion yuan. By the end of 2021, Ningde times had supplied 14.665 billion yuan to Tesla.

At present, in terms of plant construction, Ningde era also follows its largest customer Tesla. On April 6, Ningde Times announced that its first overseas factory in Thuringia, Germany, was officially licensed for the production of electric cells. The factory is only more than 300 kilometers away from Tesla Berlin super factory. Ningde times once told the first financial reporter that the German factory is located in the heart of Germany and will provide products and services to major automobile manufacturers in Germany.

In addition, just 3 kilometers away from Tesla’s Shanghai Super factory, Ningde times has planned its Shanghai port production base. In late March this year, it was reported that Ningde times was considering spending $5 billion (about 31.8 billion yuan) to build a battery factory in North America to supply customers including Tesla.

Musk envisions how robots play a role in the home environment rather than in the work environment. Host Anderson calls Tesla’s humanoid robot a kind of private housekeeper. Musk says Optimus Prime is more like a partner robot with many useful applications and forms, including Catwoman.

Musk believes that while Tesla produces Optimus Prime robots on a large scale, Tesla will see a decline in costs.

As for the price of Optimus Prime robot, musk said: “I don’t think the cost will actually be ridiculously high, such as lower than cars.”

However, musk did not say what kind of car it was. Anderson expected it to be about $25000 (about 159500 yuan).

Earlier, on Tesla AI day, musk announced Tesla’s “humanoid robot”, which is about 1.75 meters tall and weighs 56 kilograms. It is made of “lightweight materials” and looks smoother than human skin.

Musk introduced that the robot shares the AI system of Tesla car. Musk believes that it is meaningful to put the supercomputer that helps train the car to navigate the city streets without human help into the humanoid form.

At the same time, there is a screen on the robot’s face to display specific information. It also has hands at the level of human activity, and its limbs are controlled by 40 electromechanical actuators. Both feet can sense and feedback to achieve balance and agile movement, and can run up to 8km / h.

The autopilot camera will basically serve as the vision system of Tesla robot, while the fully autopilot computer will serve as the internal organ of the robot.

When it comes to Zhangjiajie, you may have a lush scene in your mind. It’s hard to imagine that there will be a serious water shortage in the local area. Three years ago, personnel from China Environmental Protection Foundation and Dongtao (China) Co., Ltd. went to Zhangjiajie for field investigation. The investigation found that due to the influence of local karst landform, especially in the mountains, the surface is not easy to store water, and some local residents are facing the dilemma of serious water shortage.

In the water shortage season, the affected residents can only rely on the sprinkler to provide drinking water, which not only consumes human and material resources, but also cannot ensure the clean water quality.

After the introduction of “toto water fund drinking water project” in Xuanshui village, Zhangjiajie, local mountain residents can receive clean and sanitary tap water as long as they turn on the tap

After several inspections, Toto China introduced the “toto water fund drinking water project” to Xuanshui village in Zhangjiajie through the toto water environment special fund (hereinafter referred to as “toto water fund”) established in the China Environmental Protection Foundation: carry out the construction of reservoirs, sedimentation tanks and rainwater disinfection projects locally. After the completion of the project, local mountain residents can receive clean and sanitary tap water as long as they turn on the tap.

So far, Toto water fund has assisted 10 natural villages and safe drinking water projects, including five schools, in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Gansu, Hebei, Jiangxi, Hunan, Jiangsu, Guizhou and other provinces, benefiting more than 12000 people.

General manager Ono told us about toto China’s unremitting efforts for China’s environmental protection as a multinational bathroom enterprise rooted in the Chinese market

Recently, we interviewed Katsuya Ono, vice chairman and general manager of Dongtao China in toto China’s office in Beijing. He told us about toto China’s unremitting efforts for China’s environmental protection as a multinational bathroom enterprise rooted in the Chinese market.

Implement safe drinking water project

In addition to solving the problem of safe drinking water for vulnerable groups in remote areas, Toto water fund also carried out water conservation publicity around the protection of water environment

General manager Ono first introduced the original intention of toto water fund to implement the safe drinking water project. Toto China hopes that through the implementation of the project, it will help the population in China’s low-income areas improve their production and living conditions, solve the drinking water safety problems of farmers, herdsmen and children, disseminate environmental protection science popularization knowledge, and make more people fully realize the significance of cherishing limited water resources for protecting the earth’s environment and human survival.

When it comes to how to implement, general manager Ono said that for the implementation of each drinking water project, Toto water fund will “investigate in advance, communicate with the local people, go to at least two or three places, and select at least one place to carry out the project according to the urgency of the beneficiary groups. After the completion of the project, strict acceptance will be carried out.”

After the project is put into use, Toto water fund will also pay a return visit to previous projects to understand whether the projects implemented in that year are still in use and the response of local residents, so as to decide whether further improvement is needed.

Toto water fund has been inherited for a long time

Toto water fund was established in 2008. It has been 15 years since its establishment, with a total investment of more than 18 million yuan.

Over the past 15 years, Toto water fund has never forgotten its original intention and projects, and has solved the problem of safe drinking water for vulnerable groups in remote areas with various projects and activities. Focusing on the protection of water environment, we have carried out water conservation publicity, popularized water environment protection and water-saving knowledge and technology, cultivated environmental awareness and improved the ability to protect water environment resources at all levels of society, and improved the water environment in small areas. The project affects millions of people.

When asked about the reasons for the establishment of toto water fund, general manager Ono replied: at the beginning of starting a business, Toto’s ancestors held the belief of making citizens have a healthy and comfortable life and improving their lives. Today, Toto, as a well-known bathroom brand, should take root in the local area and make certain contributions to local residents. This is the consistent concept of toto.

In 2005, Toto group established a global “toto water environment fund” in Japan to provide support for creating an environment-friendly, hygienic and comfortable living environment, and contribute to solving regional social problems and sustainable development. According to toto’s operation and business development around the world, enterprises feel it is necessary to establish a special water fund in the Chinese market.

Therefore, in 2008, Toto China established toto China water environment fund with the help of China Environmental Protection Foundation. Around the world, Toto group hopes to make use of its own advantages to make more effective use of water resources, develop more water-saving and environmental protection products, provide a healthier life for local residents, and make its own efforts to protect the local water environment.

Integration of operation and responsibility

Toto has been adhering to the concept of integrating the company’s business activities and corporate social responsibility activities

When asked about toto’s concept of public welfare undertakings, general manager Ono said, “whether in Japan or elsewhere, Toto hopes to focus on the sustainable development of local society while carrying out business undertakings. Toto has always adhered to the concept that the company’s business activities are integrated with the corporate social responsibility activities.”

For example, Toto continuously develops water-saving products in the business process. In the 1990s, the national standard for the pumping capacity of domestic toilet was 15 liters, while the minimum pumping capacity of toto’s intelligent toilet is only 3.3 liters. “The advent of this kind of water-saving products is also an important link for toto to realize the value of corporate social responsibility.” General manager Ono said.

In various social contribution activities carried out by toto, the concept of environmental protection is transmitted to consumers through communication, cooperation and coordination. It is hoped that through social public welfare activities, customers and employees can understand the company’s concept and improve the environmental protection awareness of the whole society.

In addition, Toto group launched the new common value creation strategy toto will 2030 in 2021, aiming to achieve “a sustainable society” and “a clean, comfortable and healthy life” by 2030.
