Putin’s Change and Invariance


    On April 4th, in Bucharest, Romania, Russian President Vladimir Putin attended a press conference after the NATO-Russia Council meeting. Putin spoke positively of the meeting as a whole, but at the same time he once again expressed his dissatisfaction on controversial issues such as NATO expansion. Xinhua News Agency reporter Xu Jinquan photo


    As many people had expected, Russian President Vladimir Putin showed people a calm smile in Bucharest this time, instead of a cold face and aggressive words.


    Although Russia is not a formal participant in this NATO summit, the results of the meeting show Russia’s influence that cannot be ignored everywhere-the accession of Ukraine and Georgia will be put on hold for at least several years; If the United States wants to complete its plan to deploy a missile defense system in eastern Europe, it must continue to "convince" Russia; In addition, it seems that not many people are keen to talk about the Kosovo issue at this summit. Obviously, in this round of game, Russia has safeguarded its core interests to the maximum extent by virtue of its growing strength and skillful diplomatic skills.


    Analysts have noticed that compared with his words and deeds in Munich more than a year ago, Putin’s attitude in Bucharest has undergone an impressive change. On the one hand, it still refuses to budge on issues concerning national interests; On the other hand, it puts more emphasis on dialogue and cooperation. Putin made it clear that Russia is willing to carry out constructive cooperation with NATO and jointly seek solutions to major problems in today’s world. As a concrete measure of cooperation, the Russian government announced that it agreed that NATO would transit Russian territory (land) to transport "non-military materials" such as food and fuel to the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan. It can be considered that Putin stood at a high point again this time. What NATO countries, including the United States, should understand is that dealing with countries like Russia can’t solve any problems by coercion and squeezing. Only by carrying out dialogue and cooperation on the premise of respecting each other’s interests and concerns can a benign interaction be formed. In this regard, Putin seems to have taught his NATO opponents another lesson.


    Putin’s trip to Bucharest can also be regarded as a fixed-tone trip. After Russia elected a new president, the west has been trying to find out the future diplomatic direction of Russia, especially whether its attitude towards the west will become more moderate. In fact, Putin’s "curtain call performance" in Bucharest has clearly explained everything: resolutely safeguarding national interests is the bottom line of Russian diplomacy. As long as you don’t touch this bottom line, everything is negotiable. Russia’s national interests determine that its diplomacy can only adopt such a posture, which is not something that anyone can change if he wants to. In this sense, Putin’s words and deeds in Bucharest also set the tone for the diplomatic line and policy of the next President of medvedev. (Chen Dawei)

Practical Logic of Building Modern Civilization of Chinese Nation

  Authors: Zhang Ming and Guo Guangyin (both special researchers of the New Era Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought Research Center, the supreme leader of Jiangsu Province)

  Culture is related to the country’s foundation and national luck, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation cannot be achieved without the prosperity of culture. It is our new cultural mission in the new era to continue to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new starting point. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the historic achievements in propaganda, ideological and cultural work lie in the fact that the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader is at the helm and the scientific guidance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era of the Supreme Leader. General Secretary Supreme Leader’s new ideas, new viewpoints and new judgments on cultural construction in the new era are rich in connotation and profound in exposition. They are the theoretical summary of the practical experience of the Party’s cultural construction in the new era, enrich and develop Marxist cultural theory, constitute the cultural chapter of Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, and form the cultural thought of Supreme Leader. Adhering to the guidance of the supreme leader’s cultural thought and building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation in the great practice of deepening Chinese modernization is an inherent and inevitable requirement for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and it is also an important task put forward by historical progress and the development of the times.

  1. Leadership: firmly adhere to the party’s cultural leadership.

  Propaganda and ideological and cultural work is related to the future and destiny of the party, the long-term stability of the country, the national cohesion and centripetal force, and it is an extremely important work. As an important manifestation of superstructure, culture is a theoretical reflection based on a specific economy, a concentrated expression of a specific class position and class interests, and has distinct ideological attributes. The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership is the most essential feature of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and upholding the overall leadership of the Party is the fundamental guarantee for promoting the development of modern civilization of the Chinese nation in the right direction.

  Consolidate the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee established the fundamental system of adhering to the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field, which is a historical conclusion and a realistic necessity. Marxism, with its thorough scientificity, popularity, practicality and openness, illuminates the road for human beings to explore the truth and realize liberation, and also rewrites the track of social and historical development in China since modern times, enabling the people of China to realize the ideological transformation from passive to active. The "modern" dimension of Chinese modern civilization is endowed by the scientific truth of Marxism from the perspective of world outlook and methodology. Chinese traditional civilization emerged into a contemporary form under the "activation" of Marxist truth power, and realized a modern transformation in the interaction with contemporary practice and contemporary life.

  Consolidate the common ideological foundation of the United struggle of the whole party and the people of the whole country. Ideals and beliefs are the "master switch" of world outlook, values and outlook on life. In the new era and new journey, we must strengthen the lofty ideal of communism and the common ideal of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and consolidate the ideological foundation of the people’s United struggle throughout the country. Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought, the supreme leader in the new era, adheres to the Marxist standpoint, viewpoint and method, adheres to the basic principles of scientific socialism, profoundly sums up and makes full use of the historical experience of the party’s century-long struggle, inherits and carries forward the essence of Chinese excellent traditional culture, enriches and develops Marxism with brand-new ideological content according to the development and changes of the times and practice, and forms a systematic and scientific theoretical system. To create a new culture that belongs to our era and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we must persistently arm our minds, guide practice and promote work with the Party’s innovative theory.

  Carry out the overall leadership of the party in all aspects of propaganda, ideological and cultural work. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is not only an active leader and practitioner of China’s advanced culture, but also a faithful inheritor and promoter of Chinese excellent traditional culture. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has systematically planned and deployed the propaganda and ideological and cultural work from the overall situation and strategic height. Held two national conferences on propaganda and ideological work, emphasizing that "the whole party must do a good job in propaganda and ideological work"; At the symposium on literary and artistic work, he pointed out that "the leadership of the party is the fundamental guarantee for the development of socialist literature and art"; At the party’s forum on news and public opinion work, it was emphasized that "the media sponsored by the party and the government are the propaganda positions of the party and the government and must be surnamed the party"; At the symposium on network security and informatization, it is required that "where the masses are, our leading cadres will go"; At the symposium on the work of philosophy and social sciences, he pointed out that "strengthening and improving the party’s leadership over the work of philosophy and social sciences is the fundamental guarantee for the prosperity and development of the cause of philosophy and social sciences in China"; At the national conference on ideological and political work in colleges and universities, it was emphasized that "the Party’s leadership over the work in colleges and universities should be firmly grasped" … … China’s propaganda, ideological and cultural work is constantly opening up a new situation, and the party’s cultural leadership is always unshakable. It is the fundamental guarantee that the party’s leadership runs through all aspects and links of the work.

  2. Spiritual foundation: strengthen cultural self-confidence and enhance historical initiative.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that "China has firm road confidence, theoretical confidence and institutional confidence, and its essence is cultural confidence based on more than 5,000 years of civilization inheritance". Only when a country or a nation has full confidence in its own cultural ideals and values, as well as its own cultural vitality and creativity, can it have the determination to persist, the courage to work hard and the vitality to innovate and create. Building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation is the proper meaning of strengthening cultural self-confidence, and it is also the concentrated expression and future extension of cultural self-confidence.

  The core content of Chinese excellent traditional culture has become the most basic cultural gene of the Chinese nation, which exerts a subtle influence on China people’s way of thinking and behavior. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Without the 5,000-year civilization of China, where would there be any China characteristics? If it is not the characteristics of China, how can we have such a successful Socialism with Chinese characteristics road today? " The world view, world view, social view and moral view contained in Chinese excellent traditional culture are highly compatible with the scientific socialist values. To build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation under the new historical conditions, we must keep the "root vein" of Chinese excellent traditional culture and absorb the wisdom and nourishment of contemporary China cultural construction from the rich resource pool of traditional culture; At the same time, we should go out of the "study" and "classics" to promote the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture, so that it can be integrated with contemporary social production and contemporary cultural forms.

  Revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture are precious spiritual wealth with the characteristics of the times, national characteristics, China style and China style. They not only reflect the inheritance of Chinese excellent traditional culture, but also demonstrate the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture, which is a powerful spiritual force to inspire the whole party and people of all ethnic groups to March forward courageously. In particular, the spiritual pedigree of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people, which originated from the great spirit of party building, is a vivid embodiment of revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture, and has become a powerful spiritual driving force to inspire the whole party and people of all ethnic groups to explore a scientific road that conforms to their own reality with self-confidence and self-reliance, and to constantly overcome difficulties and move from victory to victory. Revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture not only have profound nationality, but also have distinct characteristics of the times and politics. They are powerful forces to shape the internal characteristics of modern Chinese civilization and important support to highlight the socialist value attribute of modern Chinese civilization.

  To strengthen cultural self-confidence and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we must stick to our own path. On the basis of remarkable achievements since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, historic achievements and changes have taken place in the cause of the party and the state in the new era, which is the most solid foundation for promoting the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation and strengthening cultural self-confidence. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "The primary task of strengthening cultural self-confidence is to base on the great historical practice and contemporary practice of the Chinese nation, sum up China’s experience with China’s truth, and upgrade China’s experience to China’s theory, neither blindly following various dogmas nor copying foreign theories, so as to achieve spiritual independence." To strengthen cultural self-confidence and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation is essentially to proceed from the historical depth of culture, profoundly grasp the inherent regularity and purpose of our choice of Socialism with Chinese characteristics road, and constantly enhance the theoretical confidence of unswervingly taking our own road from the cultural and civilized levels.

  3. Fundamental method: further promote the "second combination"

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "‘ The second combination ’ It is another ideological emancipation that allows us to make full use of the valuable resources of Chinese excellent traditional culture in a broader cultural space and explore future-oriented theoretical and institutional innovations. " The "second combination" shows that our party’s understanding of China’s road, theory and system has reached a new height, that our party’s historical self-confidence and cultural self-confidence have reached a new height, and that our party’s consciousness of promoting cultural innovation in inheriting Chinese excellent traditional culture has reached a new height. Deepening the "second combination" is the fundamental way to build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

  Correctly handle the relationship between modernity and tradition, that is, the relationship between Marxist theory based on modern mechanized mass production and Chinese excellent traditional culture based on natural economy. The "second combination" is not a rigid combination in form, nor a simple physical reaction, but a profound chemical reaction based on mutual integration. Through "combination", Marxism and Chinese excellent traditional culture have achieved each other, forming a modern new civilization that not only follows the basic principles of Marxism but also highlights the profound connotation of Chinese civilization. On the one hand, it activates Chinese excellent traditional culture with the power of Marxist truth, and through creative transformation and innovative development, it blends Chinese excellent traditional culture with Chinese modernization, with modern social life, and with contemporary cultural forms to become modern, thus developing the modern form of Chinese civilization. On the other hand, the great spirit and rich wisdom of the Chinese nation will be injected into Marxism at a deeper level, and the essence of Marxist thought will be integrated with the essence of Chinese excellent traditional culture, which will be fused into new theoretical advantages and make Marxism become China’s.

  Explore future-oriented theoretical and institutional innovations in a broader cultural space. Chinese excellent traditional culture contains rich practical wisdom accumulated in the long history, which has important reference and enlightenment significance in the great practice of governing the country in the new era. From the people-oriented concept of "people are the foundation of the country" to the development idea of "adhering to the people-centered", from the great practice of "Taoism is natural", "harmony between man and nature" to "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", from "harmony among all nations" to "building a community of human destiny", the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core insists on combining the basic principles of Marxism with Chinese excellent traditional culture. We should dig deep into the unique cultural genes and spirit contained in Chinese excellent traditional culture, make full use of the precious resources of Chinese excellent traditional culture, and explore future-oriented theoretical and institutional innovations in a broader cultural space, which has provided a steady stream of power support for building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

  Constantly consolidate the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation in "combination". A culture must have its own subjectivity in order to stand and go far. Since modern times, the Chinese nation has suffered from the disaster of "national humiliation, people’s hardship and civilization", and the cultural subjectivity has suffered a great impact. Rebuilding cultural subjectivity to realize the revival of civilization has become an important dimension to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The Communist Party of China (CPC) stands at the forefront of the times, shoulders the heavy responsibility of rejuvenation, unites and leads the people of China, takes root in China, adheres to the Chinese cultural stance, combines the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China and the excellent traditional Chinese culture, promotes the creative transformation and innovative development of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, inherits the revolutionary culture, develops the advanced socialist culture, draws lessons from and absorbs all the outstanding achievements of human civilization, and constantly consolidates the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation. The creation of the new era of the supreme leader, Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought, is a powerful manifestation of cultural subjectivity.

  4. Promotion path: adhere to the organic unity of taking root locally and facing the world.

  Building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation is not only the renewal of civilization, but also a great creation based on the practice of contemporary China. We must firmly adhere to taking root in the native land and absorb the nutrients and strength of civilization construction from the great practice of comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization; Adhere to openness and tolerance, and constantly enrich the garden of human civilization in promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations.

  Consolidate the realistic foundation of building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization. Building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation is not to "sort out the national heritage" by returning to the study, nor is it simply to transform the traditional cultural expressions with modern concepts, but to make the excellent traditional Chinese culture adapt to modern production and connect with modern life. The modern civilization of the Chinese nation should be constantly generated in the great practice of Chinese-style modernization, and constantly mature in the mutual blending and adjustment with modern production and modern culture. Chinese-style modernization not only endows Chinese civilization with modern power, but also constructs a profound cultural heritage of Chinese-style modernization. As General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Chinese-style modernization is to continue the modernization of ancient civilization, not to eliminate it;" It is a modernization that grows from the land of China, not the modernization of other countries; It is the result of the renewal of civilization, not the product of the fracture of civilization. " Chinese modernization not only follows the general law of modernization, but also highlights the distinctive characteristics of China’s reality and cultural factors; It not only represents the modern development direction of Chinese civilization, but also highlights the new form of human civilization development, providing a steady stream of nutrients for the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

  The modern civilization of the Chinese nation is both national and global. The concept expression of Chinese modern civilization includes two key words: "Chinese nation" and "modernity". "Chinese nation" shows the "Chinese and Western dimensions" of civilization construction, while "modernity" shows the "ancient and modern dimensions" of civilization construction. In fact, since modern times, people with lofty ideals in China have always been faced with the "dispute between ancient and modern China and the West", and there is a bipolar opposition between "total westernization" and "retro conservatism". Chinese civilization is a collection of diverse cultures, and it has outstanding inclusive characteristics, which fundamentally determines the openness of Chinese culture to the world civilization. The Communist Party of China (CPC) insists on not forgetting the original, absorbing foreign countries and facing the future, and correctly handles the dialectical relationship between the native land and the world, tradition and modernity in deepening the "two combinations", thus building a scientific path for the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "After long-term efforts, we are more qualified to crack ‘ The dispute between ancient and modern China and the West ’ ,It is also more urgent than any previous era to need a batch of cultural achievements that melt and cast ancient and modern, and connect China and the West. To build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we must realize the organic unity of "adhering to the ancestors" and "speaking new words". We must not only inherit and develop China’s excellent traditional culture under the new historical conditions, but also uphold the concept of civilized exchange and mutual learning, constantly absorb all positive achievements of human civilization, promote the localization of foreign cultures, and constantly create new forms of human civilization.

No.9 electric car: starting from the high end, trapped in the niche.

Text | Niu Dao Finance Jiang Tong

With the success of Company No.9, Gao Lufeng entered the Red Sea of electric bicycles.

The electric bicycle industry is extremely involuted, which goes deep into villages and towns in China. It is not easy to get out of many enterprises, and the secret of the success of Company No.9 is the differentiated high-end.

Not long ago, Company No.9 held a new product launch conference. Gao Lufeng, founder and chairman of No.9 Company, said, "Based on our scientific and technological innovation and market insight, we hope to make the blue ocean bigger and the red sea blue, and win-win with the market and users."

In the eyes of the public, Company No.9, which firmly occupies the high-end market of electric vehicles, seems to be the most promising king to subvert the electric vehicle market.

However, if a fish knows how to drink cold and warm, it will become a high-end company, and at the same time, Company No.9 can’t escape the niche.

For a long time, the sales volume of No.9 electric vehicle is not at the same level as that of Yadea and Emma.

According to Sina Finance, in 2022, the total annual sales volume of electric scooters and electric bicycles in Yadea was 14.01 million, while the annual sales volume of Emma’s electric bicycles and electric two-wheeled motorcycles was 10.51 million. According to the annual report of No.9 Company, as of March 2023, the cumulative domestic shipment of No.9 electric vehicles was 1.5 million.

With such a big sales gap, can Company No.9 really rely on hard-core technology to achieve counterattack?

Relying on science and technology, Company No.9 is firmly in the high-end market.

In 2012, Gao Lufeng and Wang Ye jointly founded Company No.9, mainly involved in the field of short-distance transportation.

Different from ordinary entrepreneurs, Gao Lufeng, who graduated from Beihang University majoring in aircraft manufacturing, has been focusing on science and technology and innovation since the beginning of his business.

Gao Lufeng once said: "The company’s performance growth is mainly based on continuous innovation, constantly improving the scientific and technological content of products and enabling products to land."

At that time, Company No.9 successfully earned the first bucket of gold by relying on the first generation of intelligent balance cars with self-balance status.

Around 2013, with the rapid growth of mobile phone business, Xiaomi announced the "Xiaomi Ecological Chain" plan, and prepared to invest in 100 AIoT enterprises in the next five years.

Gao Lufeng was keenly aware that this was an opportunity for the rise of Company No.9, so he reached a cooperation with Xiaomi Company. In 2014, with advanced science and technology, Company No.9 became a member of Xiaomi’s ecological chain, and received A-round investment of more than 80 million US dollars from stars such as Xiaomi, Sequoia and Shunwei.

Facts have proved that Gao Lufeng’s choice is very correct, and cooperation with Xiaomi has indeed laid the foundation for the future development of No.9 company.

On October 19, 2015, with the official appearance of the No.9 balance car at the Xiaomi conference, Lei Jun also announced that it would be sold in Xiaomi omni-channel, and the No.9 balance car quickly became popular in the market and instantly became a phenomenal explosion product.

At the same time, in order to improve the technical core strength of No.9 Company, in 2015, No.9 Company successfully acquired Segway, the originator of the world balance car. After the completion of the acquisition, Company No.9 not only owns more than 400 global industry core patents, but also becomes a global leader in the field of intelligent short-distance transportation.

Since then, with the development strategy change of No.9 Company, the balance car is no longer its core business, but its concept of product strength has not changed.

According to the data of iResearch, one of the important elements that more and more consumers consider when buying a car is intelligent function.

The No.9 electric vehicle has a strong lead over other products in software and intelligent technology. In December 2019, Company No.9 officially released its first intelligent electric two-wheeled vehicle, which not only has a product design with both practicality and recognition, but also brings a subversive riding experience with its technological sense design. Many No.9 users feel that "No.9 is Tesla in the electric vehicle industry", which will be unforgettable once it is used.

With advanced scientific and technological design, the No.9 electric vehicle has quickly occupied the high-end market of smart electric vehicles since its listing.

According to the annual report of No.9 electric vehicle, in 2020, the sales volume of No.9 intelligent two-wheeled electric vehicle will exceed 100,000 in the first year of listing; In 2021, the production and sales volume of No.9 intelligent two-wheeled electric vehicle reached 420,000, with a year-on-year growth rate of 300%; In 2022, the sales volume of No.9 intelligent two-wheeled electric vehicle was 826,000, with a year-on-year growth rate of 96.6%.

According to the data of "White Paper on Two-wheeled Electric Vehicle Industry in China in 2023", Company No.9 has always been the first in the high-end market of two-wheeled electric vehicles by continuously focusing on brand technology innovation. According to the comprehensive sales data of two-wheeled electric vehicles in 2022, among the high-end product lines of more than 5,000 yuan, the sales volume of Company No.9 is in the first position in the industry, among which among the top10 models with sales volume of more than 5,000 yuan, Company No.9 has 8 models on the list.

In October, 2020, Company No.9 was listed in science and technology innovation board, Shanghai Stock Exchange, and successfully completed a gorgeous turn of a startup.

02 high-end positioning, but in the embarrassing position of small profits.

With the rapid development of No.9 company, its revenue level has been rising in recent years.

According to the annual report of Company No.9, in 2020, Company No.9 realized annual revenue of 6 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 30.88%, turning losses into profits for the first time, and the net profit attributable to owners of the parent company was 73.3264 million yuan; In 2021, Company No.9 achieved annual revenue of 9.146 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 52.36%, and net profit attributable to owners of the parent company was 411 million yuan; In 2022, the revenue exceeded 10.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.7%, and the net profit returned to the mother was 451 million yuan.

However, although the operating income statement of Company No.9 is strong, its gross profit margin is not optimistic or even ugly.

According to the financial report of No.9 company, although the company’s operating income has increased year by year and the growth rate is not low, its gross profit margin has been declining all the way.

From 2018 to 2021, its gross profit margin was 28.86%, 27.42%, 27.69% and 23.23% respectively.

Although compared with other two-wheeled electric vehicles, the gross profit margin of No.9 electric vehicle is very considerable, but as a brand focusing on the high-end market, its revenue has increased well, but its gross profit margin has been declining, which is not a good sign.

All along, Company No.9 has been in an awkward position of small profits, which has a great relationship with the deep bundling of Xiaomi Company.

In the early days, relying on the big tree of Xiaomi Group, Company No.9 did not worry about order income even though its wings were not full. In 2017, Xiaomi Group contributed more than 1 billion yuan in orders to Company No.9, accounting for 74% of its total revenue; In 2018, Company No.9 received an order of 2.434 billion yuan from Xiaomi Group.

However, although the income is good, it is difficult for suppliers to obtain high profits because Xiaomi products win with cost performance.

According to the prospectus No.9, the products of Company No.9 are in a state of small profits because Xiaomi products are oriented to cost performance and mainly adopt the profit sharing model. From 2017 to 2019, the gross profit margin of Xiaomi’s products sold by No.9 Company was 22.46%, 20.79% and 15.11% respectively, while the gross profit margin of No.9 Company’s own brand was as high as 42.58%, and the gross profit margin of Xiaomi’s products was significantly lower than that of its own brand products.

In order to increase the gross profit margin, Company No.9 chose to gradually untie Xiaomi Company and reduce the proportion of Xiaomi products in the company’s operating income.

I have to say that this move has indeed improved the gross profit margin of Company No.9.. According to the financial report, in 2022, the gross profit margin of Company No.9 rose to 25.97%, up 2.74 percentage points year-on-year. However, the net interest rate of Company No.9 also dropped to 4.43%, down 0.03 percentage point from the same period of last year.

At the same time, after leaving Xiaomi, the performance growth of Company No.9 is basically at a standstill.

Although the revenue and net profit of Company No.9 in 2022 still showed a double increase trend, compared with 2021, the growth rate of revenue and net profit returned to the mother dropped significantly.

In this regard, Company No.9 explained to the media that due to the epidemic situation, the logistics in some areas was interrupted, which led to the shortage of some important raw materials and parts of the company, resulting in delayed delivery.

However, Zheshang Securities analyzed that there will be some pressure on the short-term income of Company No.9, which is actually related to the decline of Xiaomi channel income.

Obviously, although Company No.9 wants to leave Xiaomi to achieve soaring, it seems that the road ahead is not easy.

03 quality problems are frequent, and the prospect of No.9 is not optimistic.

What’s even more embarrassing is that although Company No.9 relies on powerful intelligent technology to achieve cornering overtaking in the two-wheeled electric vehicle market, its product quality problems are frequent, so it has been criticized by many consumers.

According to Shandong Business Daily, in June 2022, Ms. Liao, who lives in Shantou, Guangdong Province, bought a No.9 n70c electric bicycle worth 3,599 yuan in a local No.9 electric bicycle shop.

Unexpectedly, less than half a year after the purchase, there were various failures. Although several dashboards were replaced, they still failed to solve the problem. There are still system failures such as black screen, Bluetooth unable to connect, and APP showing that the vehicle is offline, but the vehicle has been unable to start and use normally, and it has become an electric brick.

On the black cat complaint platform, there are more than 8,100 complaints about No.9, most of which are about quality problems such as "the battery starved to death", "the intelligent system failed during the warranty period" and "the electric vehicle has great safety hazards".

In addition to frequent quality problems, consumers are also very dissatisfied with the after-sales service of No.9 company.

A consumer said on the black cat complaint platform that his No.9 electric car had 40 batteries left, but it broke down and couldn’t be started at all. After contacting the store, the other party asked him to send it to a 12-kilometer store by himself. After contact, no one handled it, and the store said that only one master could not come to the door. He was very disappointed with the after-sales attitude of Company No.9..

In the sampling inspection of relevant departments, the No.9 electric vehicle also failed many times.

In October 2022, Beijing Fengtai District Market Supervision Administration announced the results of product quality supervision and spot check in 2021, which showed that a No.9 electric bicycle produced by No.9 Technology Co., Ltd. was found to be unqualified, and the items involved were "speed warning sound and short circuit protection".

With more and more consumers complaining about the quality of No.9 electric vehicle after use, it will inevitably bring bad reputation to No.9 company.

Recently, in order to find a new growth curve, Company No.9 began to touch the "other economy", hoping to find a new competitive advantage in the unique consumption field of young women.

However, although this group has great consumption potential, it obviously has higher requirements and pays more attention to consumption quality, experience and service.

If Company No.9 can’t actively improve after-sales service and product quality, then the new growth curve may be just a mirage and may not be realized.

Although the dream of Company No.9 is good and it has advantages in the field of intelligence development, it still needs a lot of efforts to make the blue ocean bigger and the red sea blue.

NATO summit joint statement throws "blockbuster" at Russia.

  [Global Times Comprehensive Report] Helicopters hover in the air, police cars whistle to clear the way, and the intersections leading to the EU headquarters and NATO headquarters are covered with roadblocks and heavily guarded. On the morning of the 24th, when the reporter of Global Times in Brussels went to work by subway, he heard many passengers complain: when the President of the United States came, it would be unsafe here. US President Biden, who arrived in Brussels on the evening of 23rd local time, attended three major summits here on 24th, namely, the NATO Special Summit, the Group of Seven (G7) Summit and the EU Summit. The joint statement issued after the NATO summit on 24th threw a "bombshell" at Russia, including continuing to provide military assistance to Ukraine and establishing four new battle groups in Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary. The statement also put pressure on China by name, demanding that "all countries, including China," "not support Russia’s war efforts in any way, and avoid taking any action that will help Russia evade sanctions.". "The Ukrainian crisis has brought the naive foreign policy of the United States into the spotlight." Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post commented on the 24th that Washington decided to deal with two powerful rivals at the same time. "This is an ominous sign full of danger."

  "Give us one percent!"

  "NATO, G7 and the European Union held an unprecedented summit on the same day." At 10 am local time on the 24th, the NATO special summit was held first. According to CNN, Ukrainian President Zelensky delivered a speech at the summit via video link. A senior US official who attended the closed-door summit said that Zelensky did not call for the establishment of a "no-fly zone" as usual or asked NATO to accept Ukraine, but asked the West to provide new security assistance. In his speech, Biden expounded the coordinated western sanctions against Russia and reiterated his strong support for Ukraine. Later, Zelensky called on NATO to "give us one percent of all your fighters" on Facebook. Give us one percent of all your tanks. Give us one percent! "

  After the meeting, NATO issued a joint statement by NATO heads of state and government in official website, "condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in the strongest terms", calling on Putin to immediately stop military operations and withdraw troops from Ukraine, and calling on Belarus to "end its conspiracy". The statement said that Russia’s use of chemical and biological weapons was "unacceptable" and warned that it would "lead to serious consequences". The statement also said that NATO allies will continue to provide assistance to Ukraine in the fields of cyber security and prevention of chemical and biological weapons and nuclear threats.

  On March 24th, US President Biden and French President Macron took a group photo at the special NATO summit in Brussels.

  Earlier, Moscow had refuted the suggestion that Russia might "use chemical and biological weapons" in its military operations against Ukraine. On the 22nd, Russian Presidential Press Secretary peskov stressed at a press conference that Russia would use nuclear weapons only when "the survival of the country is threatened".

  The NATO statement also stated that 40,000 soldiers and a large number of air and sea assets have been deployed in the east wing of NATO, and announced the establishment of four new battle groups in Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary. Germany’s "Focus" magazine said on the 24th that NATO will send another 5,000 soldiers to these four countries. Washington post said that these NATO countries are surrounded by Ukraine and the Black Sea, which is very close to the current military conflict.

  The statement also called on all countries, including China, "not to support Russia’s war efforts in any way, and to avoid taking any actions that will help Russia evade sanctions", saying that it was "worried about the recent public comments made by China officials". In addition, NATO countries also promised in their statements to substantially increase defense spending.

  After lunch on the 24th, the G7 held an emergency meeting, focusing on coordinating its position on increasing economic sanctions against Russia. Before the meeting, CNN said that Britain would announce a "new major military support package" for Ukraine at the NATO special summit and the G7 summit. Downing Street said on the 23rd that the aid plan will include 6,000 missiles, including anti-tank and high-explosive weapons, and 25 million pounds of financial support. This will double the "defensive lethal weapons" aid provided by Britain to Ukraine so far. Britain has provided more than 4,000 anti-tank weapons to Ukraine before, and the British government will also provide bulletproof vests, helmets and combat boots to Ukraine.

  According to the published schedule, Biden will arrive at the European Council Building at 16: 30 local time on the 24th to attend the EU Summit. He is the first American president to attend the EU summit in person. Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, British Prime Minister Johnson and Japanese Prime Minister kishida fumio also flew to Brussels to attend the G7 summit, but they were not invited to attend the EU summit. It is reported that Biden will focus on discussing Europe’s energy strategy with EU leaders, with a view to reaching an agreement to reduce the EU’s "excessive dependence on Russian natural gas" and turn to the United States to buy more liquefied natural gas.

  At 20: 00 local time on 24th (3: 00 am Beijing time on 25th), Biden plans to hold a press conference at NATO headquarters.

  Sanctions against Russia will "fall disproportionately on Europe"

  The "EU News" website commented on the 24th: "Biden’s trip may expose serious differences between the United States and Europe in further imposing energy sanctions on Russia." According to the Financial Times reported on the 24th, Belgian Prime Minister Decroo said on the 23rd that imposing sanctions on Russian energy exports would make the EU "fight a self-war — — This is not the goal. " German Chancellor Angela Scholz also said on 23rd that the immediate reduction of energy imports from Russia would mean that "our country and Europe as a whole are in recession". Reuters said on the 24th that the dollar rose and the euro fell as Biden went to Europe with a plan to further sanction Russia. "Capital seems to be saying that I don’t want to go to Europe", a market analyst told Reuters that the new round of sanctions will hit the West "disproportionately on Europe".

  Hendrick Voss, an EU defense expert at Ghent University in Belgium, expressed his concern about sanctions to the Global Times reporter on the 24th. "Which sanctions will continue to exist and which will be temporary? What relations with Russia will be terminated? After all, the war will not last forever, and NATO will have to consider what to do after the war. "

  "Biden arrived in Brussels, but the member States were torn apart about how to deter Russia." Washington post reported on 24th that there were differences between NATO and Washington on how to prevent the Kremlin from escalating its military actions. NATO leaders are discussing whether to let Russia guess what will trigger NATO’s greater military response, or to accurately frame under what circumstances NATO will be involved in the conflict. On the 23rd, Stoltenberg still insisted that NATO should not send troops: "We are determined to make every effort to support Ukraine, but we have the responsibility to ensure that this war will not escalate beyond Ukraine and will not become a conflict between NATO and Russia."

  Brussels is the first stop of Biden’s trip to Europe. Biden will go to Warsaw on the morning of 25th to emphasize his support for his partners in Eastern Europe. He will meet with Polish President Duda and give a speech to American soldiers stationed in Poland.

  "Side by side with Europe", German TV 1 said on the 24th that Biden’s attendance at the three summits within 12 hours sent a signal that the United States stood on the side of Europe and tried to maintain the current great unity. However, observers pointed out that this meeting will not make the challenges left by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict disappear. The United States will hold mid-term elections at the end of the year, and Biden’s Democratic Party may lose its majority in Congress. In Europe, countries pay more attention to Ukrainian refugees, lack of energy, soaring prices and other issues. "The West cannot solve various problems brought about by the Russian-Ukrainian crisis alone."

  There is a "feel good atmosphere" in Washington.

  According to the Russian News Agency reported on the 24th, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba said in an interview with Spanish media that it is increasingly difficult for EU countries to reach an agreement on new sanctions against Russia due to the situation in Ukraine. He also said that Ukrainians are disappointed with NATO.

  The Wall Street Journal said on the 24th that Biden’s visit came at a time when the Russian Foreign Ministry warned that the relationship between Moscow and Washington was "on the verge of rupture". According to US officials, Biden will announce new sanctions on more than 300 members of the Russian State Duma and more than 40 Russian military enterprises as soon as possible on the 24th. These sanctions will be announced in coordination with EU and G7 members. On 23rd, US Secretary of State Blinken issued a statement saying that the US government officially declared that Russian troops had "committed war crimes" in Ukraine.

  German "Focus" magazine said on 24th that the G7 meeting will especially warn countries that may try to help Russia evade western sanctions, "You may face sanctions, which is especially applicable to China". Stoltenberg also warned China "not to support the Russian war in Ukraine" on 23rd. He said, "China has provided political support to Russia, including spreading blatant lies and false information."

  Russia’s Kommersant newspaper said on the 24th that Biden’s trip to Europe will be the most challenging foreign policy task during his stay in the White House, and he will try to maintain his ability to be a leader in the western world. During the three summits, Biden faced an arduous task: convincing his allies that the US strategy towards Ukraine and Russia is "correct", but in fact, American allies have increasingly begun to doubt the route they chose in the Ukrainian conflict. Baczuk, an expert on American issues at the Russian Academy of Sciences, said that while facing increasing risks, the West has yet to find "a way to make Russia change its actions".

  US Democratic Senator Murphy told the Financial Times on the 24th: "This is not the time for Biden to act hastily." He also said that managing a military conflict is a tricky thing. Hong Kong’s "South China Morning Post" said on the 24th that there was a good feeling in Washington, and they believed that they "could benefit from Putin’s wrong actions". Of course, capital flight to the United States is a common windfall. But what will happen if both Russia and China expose "American bluffing"? In the United States, income inequality, racial tension and political polarization are increasing. Washington has been trying to "postpone the domestic collapse" by showing an aggressive posture in the international arena. Now, the new governments of France and Germany are promoting the "strategic autonomy" of the European continent. Beijing is not prepared to give up Moscow, but Washington has decided to deal with two powerful rivals of China and Russia at the same time. This is an "ominous sign full of danger".
