　　Zhongxin. com, Chengdu, June 29th (Reporter Anyuan) The reporter learned today from the China Giant Panda Conservation Research Center that the two giant pandas "Hua Yan" and "Meng Zhang" of the center have successfully completed two stages of wild training at Walnut Ping Wild Training Base in Wolong, and are expected to be officially released to Liziping Nature Reserve in Sichuan in early July 2016. It is reported that this will be the first time in the world that two giant pandas will be released at the same time in summer.

　　The giant panda "Hua Yan", female, was born on August 14th, 2013 at Walnut Ping Wild Training Base in Wolong. My mother, Ye Ye, was born in Wolong, Sichuan in 1999. Father "Wugang" was rescued in Baoxing, Sichuan in 1999. Meng Zhang, a female giant panda, was born in Ya ‘an on July 7th, 2014. Mother "Card" was rescued in Sichuan Baoxing in 2000. The two giant pandas have been living with their mothers in the wilderness training circle since childhood, and their health has always been very healthy.

　　During the training period of "Huayan" and "Meng Zhang" in the wild, the researchers of the Conservation Research Center used the way that the females brought their cubs to live in the wild training circle to make the cubs learn the skills of wild survival to adapt to the wild environment, so as to maximize the possibility of successful release. In about two years, "Hua Yan" and "Meng Zhang" have successively gone through the first and second stages of wild training. The training contents include: being able to eat wild food without relying on artificial food; Be able to find water independently; Can find a shelter in the wild, without relying on artificial facilities; High alertness, can identify natural enemies, companion animals and similar individuals, and can effectively avoid natural enemies or other dangerous animals.

　　On May 26th, 2016, the demonstration meeting of wild training giant pandas "Huayan" and "Meng Zhang" released to nature was held in Dujiangyan City, Sichuan Province, hosted by the Department of Wildlife Protection and Nature Reserve Management of the State Forestry Administration and hosted by China Giant Panda Protection Research Center. At the demonstration meeting, experts believed that the giant pandas "Meng Zhang" and "Huayan" had been trained in the wild, their growth and development were normal, and they had the ability to survive in the wild in the aspects of habitat selection, foraging, intra-species identification and avoiding natural enemies, which reached the expected training goal. It was suggested that the giant pandas "Meng Zhang" and "Huayan" should be released into the wild as soon as possible to rejuvenate the small panda population in the wild. In view of the fact that Liziping Nature Reserve has the previous experience in monitoring the release of giant pandas, which is convenient for the continuity of monitoring work, Liziping Nature Reserve in Sichuan is suitable for the release.

　　The release of two giant pandas at the same time and choosing to release them in summer is another new attempt of the wild training project of the Conservation Research Center, and this release will further expand the small panda population in the wild. (End)

　　Everyone seems to have guessed wrong about Sister Dong’s wishful thinking. "I don’t want to build a car. I want new energy technologies. If it is just to build a car and to build Gree’s next 100 billion, then the cooperation between Gree and Yinlong is blind." Facing the media’s doubts about Gree’s car-making, Dong Mingzhu’s "irrelevant answer" made the audience stunned. On August 23rd, Gree Electric (000651.SZ) held a media meeting on the plan of acquiring Yinlong New Energy and supporting fund-raising after 32 announcements brought multiple benefits. Gree Electric CEO Dong Mingzhu "Dong Dajie", with senior executives from both sides, answered questions about Gree’s car-making for the first time.

　　Dong Mingzhu is 62 years old this year and is the spiritual leader of Gree. On the day of the press conference, Dong Mingzhu wore a long skirt and kept a shallow smile, looking in a good mood. The day before, she was still in Chengdu to discuss the bus order between Yinlong and the local government, and she didn’t see a trace of fatigue. Holding a Gree mobile phone in her hand, she answered hit the floor when the reporter was speaking, accompanied by a signature passionate and powerful gesture. Before the interview, Dong Mingzhu specially asked for a "temporary" video about Gree’s automatic production.

　　Of course, there is also a paragraph about Gree mobile phones as always. "Take photos with me with Gree mobile phone." Say that finish, Dong Mingzhu couldn’t help myself. Of course, Dong Mingzhu doesn’t think she is a "layman making cars". She said: "Gree making cars is not a cross-border, and electric vehicles are a collection of electrical products." Dong Mingzhu even bluntly said, "Automobile chassis technology is not a problem at all, and there is no threshold." This feeling is similar to the "shooting" when Li Shufu, chairman of Geely Group, said that the car was "four wheels+sofa".

　　But how does Gree build a car? The outside world is not very clear about this. On August 23rd, after half a year of suspension, Gree purchased 100% equity of Yinlong New Energy at a price of 13 billion yuan. Following the smart phone, Gree diversified and crossed the border to the next city. Ten years ago, there were cases in which home appliance companies such as Midea failed to build cars. Therefore, this time Gree got involved in the field of car-building, and the outside world was mixed, but Sister Dong still said that she had already "got it in mind". "Lithium titanate battery and Yinlong (new energy) are gold buried in the sand, and we are going to be the people who dig the gold out of the sand." Dong Mingzhu said.

　　Although Sister Dong said that she was not in a hurry to build a car, she was very anxious in an exclusive interview with the reporter of Economic Observer. "Of course I want to build a passenger car, I want to do it now, but now the national policy problem (not solved)." The reporter of the Economic Observer also learned exclusively that Yinlong New Energy will be renamed as "Gree New Energy" after its successful acquisition, and will continue to exert its strength in the field of passenger cars. At the same time, Yinlong New Energy has contacted Tesla and BAIC respectively, or will introduce third-party car-making partners.

　　Gree’s new opportunity is that the country will give nearly ten new new energy vehicles passenger car manufacturing qualifications. At present, only BAIC New Energy and Changjiang Automobile have obtained the qualification. Among the remaining eight qualifications, Gree may have a chance to get a ticket to Zhang Zhengui.

　　"Electricity" of Series Gree

　　What is the motivation for Gree to build a car? At present, the consensus view is that Gree needs new growth points. Gree Electric achieved revenue of 49.182 billion yuan in the first half of this year, down 1.85% from the same period of last year. However, the net profit attributable to the parent company was 6.402 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 11.92%; After deducting non-recurring gains and losses, the net profit attributable to the parent company increased by 35.32% year-on-year; Earnings per share is 1.06 yuan. In 2015, Gree experienced the first major turning point in which both revenue and net profit declined in recent nine years. In that year, Gree Electric achieved a year-on-year decline of 28.17% in revenue and 11.46% in net profit.

　　Although Dong Mingzhu dismissed this view a little, he sharply responded that "the change of company revenue is related to the active adjustment of company strategy", but the growth space of air-conditioning industry is really approaching the ceiling, and Gree is also facing the confusion of development. For this reason, Dong Mingzhu and Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi, made a public bet of about 1 billion yuan in the field of mobile phones, and strived to win tickets in new industries and create enough popularity. Under the big goal of "building a Gree again in three years", finding the link point of Gree’s diversified business makes Dong Mingzhu begin to look to the car-making industry.

　　But even building a car — — This seemingly unrelated industry, Dong Mingzhu also has a thread in his heart, connecting them in series. Dong Mingzhu’s idea is simple and direct — — All of Gree’s diversified choices are synergistic and inseparable from electricity, which has become the key to series connection. "Air conditioners, mobile phones and electric cars all need electricity. In the future, mobile phones may become intelligent control terminals, and cars are a collection of all electrical appliances."

　　The broad prospects and huge market space of new energy vehicles give Dong Mingzhu more room for imagination. At present, China has become the largest new energy vehicle market in the world. In the first half of this year, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in China reached 177,000 and 170,000 respectively, up by 125% and 126.9% respectively. Such a high growth trend and space have also made outsiders such as LeTV and Ali enter the field of new energy vehicles in different forms.

　　In order to gain a share in the new energy vehicle market with many participants, Gree has to "find another way". Dong Mingzhu once considered taking the route of BYD and conquering battery technology by himself. The reporter of Economic Observer learned that as early as a few years ago, Gree had quietly set up a new energy research institute, but after two years of research and judgment, Dong Mingzhu found that Gree’s own funds and technology alone could not achieve a breakthrough, and seeking cooperation with foreign countries became the last option. After contacting with many upstream and downstream enterprises in the automobile industry and looking around several times, Dong Mingzhu set his sights on Yinlong New Energy.

　　The cooperation between Gree Electric and Yinlong is not accidental. The reporter of Economic Observer learned that Dong Mingzhu and Wei Yincang, the chairman of Yinlong New Energy, met very early. They have had many exchanges as deputies to the Jinwan District People’s Congress in Zhuhai, and the real time to put the acquisition on the agenda was in the second half of 2015. "At the end of last year, I contacted and reached the acquisition intention soon, which was in February and March, and then announced the suspension of trading." A senior executive of Yinlong New Energy told the Economic Observer. However, the key role behind the two sides’ ability to put the acquisition on the agenda is Zhuhai SASAC.

　　Build a passenger car with its back against a big tree

　　Before being acquired by Gree, Yinlong New Energy, which was in the marginal area, was rarely paid attention to. Yinlong, which started to manufacture batteries in 2009, set its sights on lithium titanate battery technology which is not optimistic in the market. In 2010, Yinlong New Energy spent 49 million US dollars (about 325 million RMB) to acquire 53.6% equity of Altair Nano, an American listed company, and mastered the latest technology of lithium titanate materials. From 2012 to 2013, Yinlong New Energy successively acquired automobile manufacturing enterprises such as Zhuhai Guangtong Automobile and Shijiazhuang Zhongbo Automobile, thus having the qualification of domestic vehicle manufacturing.

　　So far, Yinlong New Energy has become one of only two enterprises that can have lithium titanate materials and achieve power and industrial application, and the other is Toshiba Corporation of Japan. In this regard, Zhang Bin, assistant to the chairman of Yinlong New Energy and general manager of the marketing department, also told reporters that Yinlong’s technology in lithium titanate batteries is Yinlong’s core strategic advantage. However, frequent acquisitions consume capital, and lithium titanate materials are still in the early stage, which makes Yinlong New Energy once short of funds, and even reached the critical moment of "life and death".

　　"In the past, CNOOC and Shenhua Group all had cooperation intentions and even negotiations with Yinlong, but they all gave up in the end." People close to the acquisition and the core told this reporter. At the critical moment, the policy trend began to change, and lithium titanate battery technology entered the subsidy policy catalogue. Sensitive capital has always come to the door. Before discussing cooperation with Gree, Zhuhai Yinlong conducted two rounds of financing in June 2015 and February 2016, and many investors such as CITIC Securities, Huarong Assets and Oriental Assets jointly injected billions of RMB.

　　But why did Yinlong New Energy, which can temporarily breathe a sigh of relief in terms of funds, still embark on the route of being acquired? The answer is still survival. "Yinlong (New Energy) is currently engaged in passenger cars, but the ceiling of the bus industry is there, and the largest scale of Yinlong is 20 billion. Therefore, we must set foot in passenger cars. Although we have products and technical reserves, the demand for production qualifications, capital and brand power for passenger cars is the threshold. Cooperation with Gree is the result of repeated thinking. " The above-mentioned Yinlong New Energy executives told the Economic Observer reporter. "Lithium titanate (battery) has the advantages of safety, long service life and fast charging, but it was not favored by the automobile industry because it did not enter the catalogue of state subsidies and the short cruising range." A technical person in charge of a new energy automobile company told the Economic Observer that "now lithium titanate can enjoy the same subsidy, and the problem of short cruising range can be solved slowly through technological upgrading." Perhaps, this answer is enough to be the answer that Dong Mingzhu is willing to gamble on new energy vehicles.

　　Gambling or raising money?

　　The interesting details of Gree’s acquisition of Zhuhai Yinlong are that, in order to show confidence and respond to shareholders’ queries, in addition to the original plan, Gree also issued an additional RMB 10 billion for supporting financing, and at the same time, Dong Mingzhu participated in the additional issuance through its own funds of nearly RMB 1 billion. The fund comes entirely from Sister Dong’s own "private pocket". This seems to show the outside world their confidence in this acquisition and entering the automobile industry in the future.

　　Dong Mingzhu, who is generous, bluntly said that Gree Electric has fully laid out its electronic control, intelligent manufacturing, motors and precision molds, and among the three major electric appliances (batteries, motors and electronic controls) needed for the production of electric vehicles, all the parts except batteries can be quickly matched and supplied with Yinlong and have a synergistic effect with Yinlong. Wang Jingdong, vice president and director of Gree Electric, further said in the interview: "Gree is famous for its management ability and cost control ability. The acquisition of Yinlong can not only achieve the synergy of core technologies, R&D resources and supply chain, but also greatly reduce management costs, enhance corporate profitability and quickly occupy the market."

　　At present, Yinlong New Energy’s business is mainly in the passenger car market, but it has not been launched in the passenger car field due to qualification problems. Therefore, Dong Mingzhu and his team started to discuss the layout and production qualification of passenger cars with the management of Yinlong New Energy as soon as they initiated the acquisition of Yinlong New Energy. "Building cars in the field of passenger cars will make progress next year." The reporter of the Economic Observer learned exclusively from insiders that "both the acquisition of (passenger car production) licenses and their own application are going." Dong Mingzhu even told reporters that she was not worried about the qualification of building a car.

　　The reporter learned that the product layout of Yinlong New Energy in passenger cars has taken shape, which is divided into four categories, including antique models, coupes, SUVs and MPVs. In the process of negotiation with Gree team, both sides tend to be economical in positioning and pricing of passenger cars, and will not take the high-end route. "In the future, we will not rule out the introduction of cooperation between car companies. People from Tesla and BAIC have visited before. Where is the short board for building cars in the future, we will introduce relevant professional teams." The above-mentioned insiders revealed. In addition, it is not ruled out that Gree will enter the management of Yinlong in the future, and Yinlong New Energy is also full of imagination with the layout of nine existing industrial bases of Gree.

　　However, it is not uncommon for a layman to make a car. Multifluoride (002407), which started as a raw material for lithium iron phosphate batteries, spent 160 million yuan to control Red Star Automobile in order to develop new energy vehicles and obtain automobile production qualifications. However, the latest news is that its car-making process has been temporarily suspended because it is much more difficult than expected. And even Wang Chuanfu, the founder of BYD, who has mastered the technology, has revealed that it is far more difficult to enter the automobile industry than he thought.

　　But Gree’s cleverness is precisely not to put all your eggs in one basket. This time, Gree Electric acquired Yinlong New Energy, on the one hand, to build a car, on the other hand, to enter the energy storage market as mentioned above — — Yinlong’s lithium titanate battery, supporting charging facilities and energy storage system business are all Gree’s gains. In particular, the business of energy storage system will be a key move for Dong Mingzhu in Gree’s chess game before retirement.

　　"If it is just to build a car and build Gree’s next 100 billion yuan, then the cooperation between Gree and Yinlong is blind, and the core technology of lithium titanate battery is the most important reason for the acquisition." Dong Mingzhu believes that the advantages of lithium titanate battery in making energy storage equipment are very obvious. "The combination of photovoltaic and energy storage equipment will be a trillion-dollar market."

　　"I won’t retire for at least four years." Dong Mingzhu looked away, hale and hearty. I just don’t know if Dong Mingzhu’s new energy vehicle and energy storage business can give her a perfect answer after four years. But at present, Gree’s acquisition is being questioned by Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and it is not known whether there are any variables in this acquisition.

Biden rarely gets angry!

A few days ago, Hull, the special prosecutor in charge of investigating US President Biden’s "document door", issued a report saying that Biden would not face charges for improper handling of classified documents due to insufficient evidence and other factors. However, the report said that the 81-year-old president had a "poor memory" and could not remember many things. The above remarks about memory loss may bring a major blow to Biden’s hope of re-election. Some Republicans claim that this shows that Biden is "unfit" to serve as president.

A few hours after the publication of the above-mentioned report, an angry Biden made a rare evening speech. Biden angered: "The report even mentioned that I can’t remember the time of my son’s death. How dare he (Hull) say so?" Biden insisted that he had a "good memory".

However, Biden made another slip of the tongue when he was questioned by media reporters after his speech at the White House, calling Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah Seyce "President of Mexico" …

The report says Biden’s memory is failing.

On February 8, local time, Robert Hull, the special prosecutor in charge of investigating President joseph robinette’s "document door", released a report, saying that Biden would not face charges for improper handling of classified documents due to insufficient evidence and other factors.

Although he was able to "get out" at the legal level, Biden was caught in another embarrassing situation because of the report. The report specifically mentions that the 81-year-old president has a "poor memory" and can’t remember many things. Some Republicans claim that this shows that Biden is "unfit" to serve as president.

According to Xinhua News Agency, in the 388-page report, Hull detailed how Biden mishandled classified documents. He wrote that FBI agents found those materials in "Biden’s garage, office and basement study at his home in Wilmington, Delaware", including classified documents related to Afghan military and foreign policy, some of which were marked with the highest level of top secret or sensitive information.

However, Hull said that after 15 months of investigation, he chose not to file criminal charges against Biden because Biden was "cooperative and difficult to convict". In addition to listing factors such as insufficient evidence, Hull also mentioned that "poor memory" may be the reason why Biden cannot be convicted.

Hull said in the report that Biden’s memory was "severely limited" when he was questioned, and he forgot the beginning and end of his term as vice president in the administration of former President Barack Obama, and even forgot the year when his eldest son, former Delaware Attorney General bo Biden, died of illness.

The report pointed out, "We have also considered that Biden may appear before the jury as an old man with compassion, goodwill and poor memory, as we did when we asked him." This may convince some jurors that Biden did not intentionally keep the documents, but may have forgotten their existence.

On January 9, last year, the American media disclosed that Biden’s private lawyer found a batch of confidential documents on November 2, 2022 when he cleaned up Biden’s office in the Washington think tank "Biden Diplomacy and Global Contact Center". The White House and Biden confirmed the report the next day. Biden used this office after stepping down as vice president in 2017 and before running for president in 2019. Biden also admitted that his residence also contained classified documents.

Biden is angry! Make a rare speech

Biden, the oldest incumbent president in American history, is currently running for re-election, and may once again confront former president and Republican Donald Trump when voting in the presidential election in November this year. Trump supporters used the above report to highlight concerns about Biden’s age.

According to Agence France-Presse reported on February 8, the angry and emotional US President Joe Biden made a rare evening speech that day, responding to the sharp remarks in a special prosecutor’s report released a few hours ago about his improper handling of confidential documents.

According to the report, when Biden delivered a live televised speech at the White House, he was very angry with the report that he could not even remember the date of his son bo Biden’s death in 2015 and other key moments in his life. Biden fumed: "(The report) even mentioned that I can’t remember the time of my son’s death. How dare he (Hull) say that?" He replied that he didn’t need anyone to remind him when his son died. "What do they care?"

Obviously, Biden tried to control his emotions. Biden insisted that he had a "good memory" and that the accusation that he deliberately kept confidential materials was "completely wrong".

After making a formal speech, Biden answered a question from a White House reporter and said, "I am kind, I am an old man, and of course I know what I am doing." He said: "I am the president, and I have revived the country. Look at the achievements I have made since I became president. "

In addition, Biden’s personal lawyer Bob Bauer said: "Obviously, there was no reason to file criminal charges from the beginning." Bauer and White House legal adviser Richard Sober also said in a letter to Hull that the report mentioned Biden’s memory as "completely redundant".

However, Biden made a slip of the tongue when he was asked by a media reporter after his speech at the White House, calling Egyptian President Abdel-Fatah Seyce "the President of Mexico".

According to the report, Biden and his assistant were investigated by the Ministry of Justice last year for their handling of confidential documents. According to the latest report of special prosecutor Robert Hull, Biden will not be criminally charged for keeping confidential documents; However, the report’s remarks about Biden’s loss of memory may be a major blow to his hope of re-election.

Biden on Trump: "The Threat of Life and Death"

According to CNN’s February 7 news, US President Biden said in a series of fund-raising activities in new york that his predecessor Trump was a "threat of life and death" and Trump had completely held the Republican Party in his hand.

Biden told Democratic donors: "There is a life-and-death threat, and that is Donald Trump." Biden said: "This (election) is not about me, but about Trump."

According to the report, Biden has been trying to promote his political achievements last year, but his support rate has hardly improved. Now, Biden is increasingly pointing his finger at Trump, the front-runner of the Republican presidential candidate. He describes Trump as a threat to democracy and personal freedom. Recently, he also portrayed Trump as a "Svengali-style" Republican leader who controls other people’s minds.

The report mentioned that Biden got a new opportunity this week, because with Trump’s intervention, Republicans in Congress failed to pass a bipartisan immigration bill. Biden said the move exposed the harmful election-year politics and the Republican Party’s loyalty to its actual leaders.

Biden said that Trump "would rather weaponize this issue than really solve it", referring to the failed compromise bill on the border. He said that the failure to pass the border bill this week shows how far the Republican Party has fallen.

According to the report, Biden’s speech indicates that he plans to use the failed border bill to gain political advantages for himself in the next few months.

Ren Xianqi

　　　 The travel program "One Earth" will broadcast a new episode of "One Earth – Silk Road Game" on December 11. And invited the heavyweight guest Ren Xianqi to be the host. This journey lasted more than 20 days. Xiao Qi, together with more than a dozen film crew staff, formed a convoy, starting from Xi’an on off-road motorcycles, passing through Lanzhou, Wuwei, Zhangye, along the Hexi Corridor to Dunhuang, Turpan, and ending in Xinqiang Urumqi, the whole journey reached more than 2,000 kilometers. The process is stylish, FUN, bitter, and sweaty… An all-male team, together to complete the man’s Silk Road dream.

　　　 This time, "One Earth" Xiao Qi teamed up with the film team to shoot Hong Kong’s first off-road motorcycle tour of the Silk Road. For thousands of years, the Silk Road has been a cultural exchange route between China and the West, and it is also the cradle of many ethnic minorities in China. In ancient times, caravans crossing the Silk Road could be described as dangerous. Xiao Qi also had to be well prepared to cross the Silk Road with off-road motorcycles. It took a year from conception to filming, and finally took place in August 2010. Xiao Qi first joined the filming team in Lanzhou, Gansu Province, and communicated with a group of local off-road motorcyclists to understand the different risks that may be encountered on the Silk Road before driving a motorcycle through the Silk Road. After arriving in Lanzhou, Xiao Qi was very excited. He said: "Here, the bucket can create the effect of rolling sand and dust. It feels very good. It is a paradise for off-road motorcycle enthusiasts." Because Lanzhou is located on the Loess Plateau, surrounded by a layer of sand that is more than 300 meters thick and weathered, Xiao Qi can enjoy the addiction of fire chariots here. It turns out that in Lanzhou, there are many shops specializing in off-road motorcycle business, and they also organized an association. When they have time, they will get together to fight. After Xiao Qi found out, he wanted to fight with them.　

Ren Xianqi

　　　 In addition to the motorcycle, Xiao Qi also visited different ethnic minorities, as if learning to make traditional sheepskin rafts with Hui people, experiencing the life of Tibetans in Gansu grazing and shearing white yak hair, and traveling to Minqin County, which is often affected by sandstorms, and the Hexi Corridor, which is baptized by war, to learn about the various ways that ethnic minorities survive on the Silk Road. After nearly a month of filming, Xiao Qi not only learned about the local culture, but also learned a lot of "skills", including making traditional sheepskin rafts and Lanzhou ramen. In ancient times, the only way to cross the Yellow River was to take a sheepskin raft made by Hui people. The process of the sheepskin raft is complicated, and the hardest part is to blow up the sheepskin bag so that the raft can float on the river. Xiao Qi turned into a sheepskin raft master and tried to inflate the entire sheepskin raft, but unfortunately the challenge failed, even if a strong man wanted to inflate a sheepskin bag. Although the task was not very successful, the determined and unyielding Xiao Qi kept up his efforts and challenged another "simple task", which was to concoct Lanzhou ramen. Making ramen noodles has always been very difficult. Master Xiao Qi also understands the truth that everything is hard. Although the final product is a little different, the entrance is also refreshing. (Photo and text/Tungstar)
