  At 10:08 am on September 20, Huawei’s triple-folding mobile phone Mate XT Extraordinary Master officially launched its first sale, which is also the "world’s first mass-produced triple-folding mobile phone".

  After the panic buying began, Huawei Mall showed that all models of Mate XT Extraordinary Master were sold out in seconds. At present, on online platforms such as Huawei Mall, JD.com, and Tmall Flagship Store, the same user can only buy one. As of press time, all platforms have shown "temporarily out of stock" and will go on sale again at 10:08 am on September 21.

  On the morning of September 20, a reporter from Nandu Bay Finance Society saw in Huawei’s flagship store, Shenzhen Vientiane World, that the first sale site was crowded, and the first batch of users who successfully booked a reservation mentioned the new machine here for the first time.

  19999 yuan on sale! It was fried to nearly 70,000 "sky-high price" before release

  On the morning of September 20, Yu Chengdong, executive director of Huawei, chairperson of end point BG, and chairperson of smart car solutions BU, attended the first delivery ceremony of Huawei Mate XT extraordinary master at the flagship store on Nanjing East Road in Shanghai. Yu Chengdong said at the delivery ceremony that Huawei’s triple folding screen mobile phone is selling well beyond expectations, and the team is working overtime to expand production capacity.

  Yu Chengdong said that over the years, Huawei has continued to break through in various forms such as inner folding, outer folding and vertical folding, and brought excellent quality experience with cutting-edge technology. Huawei Mate XT Extraordinary Master has the world’s largest 10.2-inch screen and is also the world’s thinnest folding screen mobile phone, unfolding as thin as 3.6mm. "Huawei Trifold rewrites the history of the industry, breaks the boundary of intelligent end point form, and turns science fiction into reality."

  According to the introduction, Huawei Mate XT Extraordinary Master has single-screen, dual-screen and three-screen states, and can switch flexibly in various forms. Yu Chengdong called it "one machine and multiple functions, which can be called a new species of technology".

  Nanduwan Finance Society reporter noticed that as early as before the release of Huawei’s three-fold mobile phone, second-hand platforms such as Dewu and Salted Fish had already hyped the mobile phone to nearly 70,000 yuan. Previously, Huawei’s first folding screen mobile phone Mate X (priced at 16,999 yuan) released in 2019 was hyped to a sky-high price of about 100,000 yuan.

  As the world’s first commercial triple-fold mobile phone that is currently scarce in the market, Huawei’s triple-fold mobile phone is called "electronic Moutai" and "wealth management product".

  Guo Tianxiang, research manager of IDC China, said that at present, the entire folding screen mobile phone in the Chinese market has only 10 million shipments a year, and the market 280 million throughout the year. For a category that has been developed for 5 years, the penetration rate is still very low. The three-fold mobile phone is difficult to become a major growth point due to factors such as high technical requirements, low yield, high price, and few participants. In fact, many manufacturers are in a conservative attitude towards next year’s folding screen market.

  In Guo Tianxiang’s opinion, the screen and hinge processing technology requirements are high, the service life is a big challenge, and the assembly and processing yield of the whole machine is not high. "For the adaptation of software systems, Huawei has done the best among folding mobile phones. Battery life Due to the use of carbon-silicon negative electrode technology, battery life and volume have been greatly improved, but we still need to pay attention to the problem of power consumption and heat generation." Guo Tianxiang believes that the current situation of triple-folding mobile phones will not have a great impact on the tablet market, because its price and supply are a big limit.

  Huawei leads the folding screen track, and many mobile phone manufacturers have established a layout

  With the release of Huawei’s triple-folding mobile phone, Huawei’s category in the field of folding screen mobile phones has also been further improved. As an early domestic manufacturer to lay out the folding screen mobile phone market. In 2019, Huawei released the first 5G folding screen mobile phone, Huawei Mate X, and released more than 10 folding screen mobile phones in the past five years, covering various forms such as horizontal external folding, horizontal internal folding, and vertical small folding.

  For tri-folding, it is very difficult for a screen to bend inside and outside, and it is even more difficult to ensure anti-extrusion, anti-stretching, and durability. To this end, Huawei pioneered the Tiangong hinge system, subverting the traditional structure. Through comprehensive breakthroughs in core components such as hinges and screens, it has realized both lightness and toughness, ingenious precision hinges and super-shape tri-folding large screens, achieving internal and external bending for the first time, bringing new folding products.

  For this reason, Yu Chengdong said that "Huawei’s triple folding rewrites the history of the industry, breaks the boundary of intelligent end points and turns science fiction into reality".

  In the tri-fold market, many mobile phone manufacturers have already made arrangements. Honor CEO Zhao Ming said that Honor has plans in tri-fold, scroll and other technologies. Although the technology is ready, the specific release time depends on the market reaction. In terms of supply chain, it is also reported that Xiaomi is developing a tri-fold mobile phone, which is expected to appear in the form of a physical model or prototype at the Mobile World Congress in February 2025. Transsion Holdings, known as the "king of mobile phones in Africa", has preempted Huawei to release the tri-fold screen mobile phone PHANTOM ULTIMATE 2, but this model has not yet been mass-produced.

  Samsung, the former "first brother" of the folding screen mobile phone, is said to be developing a rollable mobile phone. According to the Korean media Business Post, Samsung has recently applied for a patent for a rollable display for smart devices.

  Huawei has been a leader in the folding screen track. In the domestic market, Huawei’s folding screen mobile phone market share ranks first. According to the China folding screen mobile phone market share report released by IDC in the second quarter of 2024, the top five manufacturers in the domestic folding screen mobile phone market are Huawei, vivo, Honor, OPPO and Samsung. Among them, Huawei is firmly in the top spot with a market share of 41.7%, vivo, Honor and OPPO are 23.1%, 20.9% and 8.4% respectively.

  In the global folding screen market, Huawei’s folding screen mobile phone is also in a leading position. According to data released by Techinsights, Huawei’s folding screen mobile phone sales rose by 257% in the first quarter of this year, surpassing Samsung for the first time. In the second quarter of this year, Huawei continued to lead the global folding screen smartphone market, followed by Samsung and vivo.

  IDC said that with the release of new generation folding screen mobile phone products from more manufacturers, it is expected that China’s folding screen mobile phone market will continue to maintain a rapid growth trend in the second half of the year. The competition in the folding screen mobile phone market will enter a golden age, and major brands will engage in more intense competition. With the continuous advancement of technology and the gradual maturity of the market, folding screen mobile phones are expected to become a major trend in the future smartphone market.

Geely’s "Xunzi" was listed on the backdoor, and the first share of China Automotive Intelligence was born in the United States.

(Text/Pan Yuchen Editor/Zhou Yuanfang) Geely Group has its fourth listed company, and this time it is the first share of China automobile intelligent enterprises in the United States-Yikatong.

On December 21st, Yikatong Technology, a travel technology company, and COVA Acquisition Corp, a public special purpose acquisition company, jointly announced that the previously announced merger transaction had been successfully completed on December 20th. The merged company will retain the company name of "Yikatong Technology", and its shares and warrants will be traded on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange on December 21st, with the stock codes of "ECX" and "ECXWW" respectively, making it the first China automotive intelligence start-up to land in the US stock market.

Through this transaction, Yikatong Technology is expected to raise 368 million US dollars (about 2.57 billion yuan), including COVA’s cash trust of 300 million US dollars. The funds raised will be used to accelerate technology development and launch new products, support strategic acquisitions and investments, and build a global business growth path and achieve the goal of becoming profitable in 2024.

Earlier in May this year, Yikatong Technology had reached a merger agreement with COVA. The transaction was approved at the extraordinary general meeting of COVA shareholders held on December 14th.

According to the prospectus disclosed by Yikatong Technology, the company’s revenue in the first three quarters of this year was 2.03 billion yuan and its gross profit was 563 million yuan. However, after deducting R&D expenses, administrative expenses and interest expenses, the net loss amounted to 801 million yuan. External financing has become a key factor for the company’s sustainable operation.

According to the data of enterprise investigation, before the merger and listing of Yikatong Technology, it had gone through seven rounds of financing. In addition to Geely Holding Group, the investors also included Changjiang Industrial Fund, Baidu, Funeng Technology and Suzhou Xiangcheng Venture Capital. Among them, the announced A-round financing amounted to RMB 1.3 billion, and the A+ round and B-round financing amounted to US$ 200 million and US$ 50 million respectively.

Yikatong Technology is not the first Geely Group investment company that intends to land in US stocks. Just in early December, Geely Automobile’s high-end electric brand Krypton submitted a draft registration statement for possible initial public offering to the SEC. According to Reuters and other media reports, the IPO is expected to raise more than $1 billion.

At present, there are four listed companies under the Geely Group. In addition to Geely Automobile, which landed in Hong Kong stocks earlier, Polar Star and Volvo have also landed in the US and Sweden markets this year.

The "first son" of Geely family

As a company specializing in automotive intelligence, Yikatong Technology, established in 2017, is a pioneer among its peers, and has been imbued with a strong "auspicious color" since its birth.

The two co-founders of Yikatong Technology are Li Shufu, Chairman of Geely Holding Group, and Shen Ziyu, former Vice President of Geely Research Institute. When a merger agreement was reached with COVA in May this year, Li Ni, the daughter of Li Shufu, also appeared in the list of new directors of the company.

Like his elder brother Li Xingxing, Li Ni has been expanding his participation in the cause of Geely in recent years. As early as 2016, Li Ni bought and sold shares of listed companies many times during the listing and transfer of *ST Qianjiang’s equity. Later, Geely Holding Group spent 1 billion yuan to purchase *ST Qianjiang’s equity in June of that year.

Just in August this year, Xingshengzhou Technology purchased 171 million shares of Chengxing Industrial Group, the controlling shareholder of ST Chengxing. According to ST Chengxing’s announcement, Xingshengzhou Technology is a limited partnership jointly established by Yaoning Technology and Oriental Assets. Li Xingxing and Li Ni hold 95% and 5% shares of Ningbo Chunhua Qiushi Technology, the largest shareholder of Yaoning Technology, respectively.

The insiders believe that the reason why Li Shufu’s family is willing to hold a company with operational difficulties is the phosphorus chemical industry that ST Chengxing is engaged in: the phosphate produced by the latter is the core raw material for automobile power batteries.

Similarly, Yikatong Technology, as a company born in line with the trend of automobile intelligence, can be called Geely’s "pro-son".

Since its establishment, Yikatong Technology has mainly provided intelligent and networked services for Geely, Lectra, Proton and other "Geely" automobile brands, including digital cockpit, active safety electronic products, unmanned sensors and controllers, and the operation services of the vehicle networking cloud platform and big data platform. For example, the GKUI car-machine interconnection system widely used in Geely models comes from Yikatong Technology.

Prior to this, emerging business modules such as intelligent cockpit and vehicle-machine interaction have been regarded as shortcomings by many Geely users.

Even as a high-end electric brand, its car system has been criticized by many car owners since the delivery of the first batch of models. Although on the hardware level, Geely temporarily calmed the storm by investing more than 300 million yuan to replace the car chip with higher performance; However, in the software, a common shortcoming of traditional automobile manufacturers, Geely seems to have a lot to check and fill.

And this task is also naturally delivered to the hands of Yikatong Technology.

Swimming beginners can learn quick skills in five minutes!

Swimming is not only a summer vacation but also a very good exercise to lose weight. It can also exercise our cardiopulmonary function and make our bodies stronger. For those who have never been exposed to swimming, it must be difficult to swim. But as long as we understand the following points, at least we will learn to swim much faster than others, and naturally learning to swim will become much easier.

float

People who have never swam before should start swimming by floating. First, they should make their bodies float in the water, so we should not rush to swim in the middle of the water at the beginning. We should start from shallow water, where the water level is almost half of our body. Relax your whole body, choose a casual posture, squat down or slowly try to climb on the level to see if your body will float. In short, put your whole body into the water except your head and feel the buoyancy of the water. Because in shallow water, there will be no danger, we should feel the feeling of the body in the water naturally and boldly, and gradually overcome the fear in the water.

suspend

We move freely in the water and gradually adapt to the water. After overcoming our fears, we can try to take a deep breath, submerge our whole body, even our head, feel the underwater world and feel our heartbeat. Slowly open your eyes and look at the whole underwater world. After you basically overcome your fear, you can hold your hands on the ground, beat the water with your feet alternately and practice floating yourself with your feet. At the end of this step, you can occasionally hold the ground without your hands. At this time, you will be surprised to find that your body has a sense of floating and swims forward.

tread water

When we gradually master the suspension, we don’t have to worry about the body sinking to the bottom of the water. At this time, we can go to the middle of the water, leave our feet off the ground, spread our hands, and then keep treading water to keep an upright position, so that our hands and feet can cooperate to control our body posture. When this step is practiced in the later stage, we can slowly change the direction of treading water and try to swim with the movements of our hands.

hands and feet

Practice the movements of hands and feet. Beginners suggest that it is best to learn breaststroke first. Breaststroke is the simplest swimming skill. You can practice the basic skills on the shore as in the video. When you get into the water, you can complete this set of natural and coherent movements, practice it repeatedly, and master the breaststroke skills completely.

Swimming style is actually not required for beginners. Beginners may learn to swim in a dog crawl or frog style, or even dive in a plunge. No matter which posture, once a beginner learns to swim, other strokes are no longer difficult.
