London football: Tottenham’s priority in the winter window is central defender, and midfield and striker may also be introduced.

Live broadcast on November 3, according to the analysis of London football, Tottenham’s winter window should reinforce three positions: central defender, midfielder and striker.

centre halfback

The priority of Tottenham Hotspur’s Winter Window is central defender. Romero and Van der Waen have performed well together, but they still need to introduce a new central defender. The team’s Summer Window has been rumored with Adala Biow of Fulham and Kelly of Bournemouth. Now it is necessary to consider whether Winter Window will sign in the Premier League or go to other leagues to find a target.

midfield region

At present, Tottenham Hotspur have enough midfielders, but due to the influence of the African Cup of Nations, they will lose Sal and Bisuma in January, and the return of Bentancur will bring great help. However, considering the situation of Sal and Bisuma, Tottenham may reinforce the midfield in the winter window.

vanguard

Signing a new striker in January may also be one of Tottenham’s priorities. Both Perisic and Solomon are plagued by injuries. Sun Xingyu also needs to participate in the Asian Cup. They need to add another striker. A striker who can play on the wing and in the middle will help Postecoglou.

Ping-Pong Interest: Ping-Pong Love of Overseas Chinese Ping-Pong Players

Enter the [Chinese world] > >

    For many people, sports is both an interest and a career. Among the American table tennis team members who participated in the Beijing Olympic Games, two Chinese players are like this. For them, playing table tennis is not only their own interest, but also their own career, which has achieved a perfect combination. First of all, the Chinese American table tennis player is Crystal Huang. This year, she fought in Beijing on behalf of the American table tennis team. Although she lost to a strong player and had a mediocre record, for her, her trip to Beijing has become an unforgettable experience. So, how did she get on the road of table tennis? What opportunities did table tennis bring to her life? Next, we approached Crystal Huang with a reporter from KTSF26 in San Francisco, USA.







Crystal Huang


    Crystal Huang, a native of Hunan Province, began to contact table tennis at the age of seven. At that time, the school teacher asked everyone who wanted to play table tennis, and all the students were interested. For gifted children, training activities include running and skipping rope. Her highest ping-pong achievement in China was just entering the school league.


    Crystal Huang never worked as a professional player, but worked as an accountant in the government department of Chang ‘an Town, Dongguan, Guangdong. In 1999, my family immigrated to America and took root in Los Angeles. At first, she worked in a computer company, and her ping-pong life began in America.


    Crystal Huang: At that time, when I went to work, I had very little money. I had nothing without a diploma. Later, a friend introduced table tennis, and they went to play, so did I. There were also many local competitions nearby, and they won many championships. Someone asked me to teach the ball, so I have been teaching it.


    Crystal Huang found that the racket in her hand made her regain her voice and her previous playing level. He once won the American doubles champion and mixed doubles champion, and came second in singles.


    Crystal Huang also hopes to do its part in raising the standards of the United States. At the end of last year, the California table tennis club was opened in El Monte, Los Angeles.


    Crystal Huang said that it is rare to find a professional table tennis court in the United States, so he decided to open this table tennis center to fill this vacancy, so that one player who loves table tennis can get together. A place to exchange skills.


    "The table here is a high-quality professional table tennis table imported from Germany, and the plastic floor is also specially imported from China."


    The club is full of table tennis. It has been open for half a year, with about 100 members and seven pool tables. It is usually full at weekends. Crystal Huang himself teaches the ball in the club and cultivates new blood, such as Huang Zihao, who started playing table tennis at the age of seven.







Huang zihao


    Huang Zihao, a table tennis player: "I learned from my sister Crystal Huang that her ball is a little more stable and very stable, so I will try my best to exercise my ball better."


    In addition to practicing and teaching, Crystal Huang spent the rest of her time taking care of club affairs, and her generous personality made her many friends on and off the court.







Chinese American table tennis player Wang Chen.


    For Crystal Huang, the field that table tennis has opened up for her is not only in the competition field, but also in the club and in the broad daily life. Next, I’d like to introduce another Chinese American table tennis player, Wang Chen, who also attended the Olympic Games in Beijing this time. Unlike Huang Yaoxi’s experience of practicing table tennis at a high level when he came to the United States, Wang Chen was already famous in the table tennis world when he was in China. She has won the World Young Women’s Championship and the World Women’s Team Championship. However, he retired and moved to the United States eight years ago. So what wonderful things did table tennis bring to her life in a foreign country? What kind of feeling and emotion did she get from table tennis?


    Table tennis talent was discovered at the age of 7 and entered the professional team at the age of 11. Wang Chen recalled the interesting experience of being selected by a PE teacher to play table tennis when he was seven years old in Beijing.


    Wang Chen, an American Olympic table tennis player: "Every class selects a few clever children, and the box is placed three or four steps away, and then you throw three balls. If you throw all of them, you are chosen, but few of them can throw all three balls, so I threw them."


    Under the coach’s cultivation, Wang Chen won a Beijing amateur children’s championship, winning a child two years older than her, and was later elected to a sports school, and joined a professional team at the age of 11, from which Wang Chen’s ping-pong career began.


    He entered the national youth team at the age of 13 and was elected to the national team at the age of 17, which was listed as the key training for young people. At the age of 20, she won the world young women’s championship in Tokyo and was regarded as the reserve force of China team. After waiting for the main athletes to retire, they will go to represent China in the World Series.


    The peak of Wang Chen’s playing in China was to win the team championship in the World Championship in 1997. Under the condition of rushing to retire, Wang Chen chose to retire one year later, at the age of 24.


    After retiring, Wang Chen, seeing her sister in New Jersey, USA, successfully established a new life and decided to emigrate.


    At first, Wang Chen worked in her sister’s fur clothing store and played some games in New Jersey. Some people also heard that a former China national team player came in the middle and asked her to teach the ball. At that time, Wang Chen was able to queue up for ten hours of classes one day and often came home after midnight.


    "I feel that I am prepared to eat this bitterness from the heart, that is, I am ready, I will no longer think that I am a world champion, and I can’t do anything, just waiting for others to praise me, that is, to start over. This is the feeling."


    When Wang Chen first came to new york in 2001, she had a soft spot for this city. What inspired her most was the spirit that if she worked hard, she could achieve success in this city.


    A year later, Wang Chen became attached to a Polish Jew who was captured by Nazi Germany in World War II. Under the guidance of Wang Chen, he played ping-pong five days a week and helped Wang Chen to open a ping-pong club named after Wang Chen himself here in Upper West Side.


    "When I came to new york, I felt that I grew up here, learned a lot, knew how to treat people, make money, know how to manage this club, and how to be a good wife. Everything happened in new york and new york."


    Yes, Wang Chen met her husband of the same age while playing ball, exercising and swimming at nearby Columbia University. The two are speculative in character and have a good marriage. They often discuss Wang Chen’s performance on the court, and Zhou Yue even helps to download the video of Wang Chen’s opponent for her reference.


    Zhou Yue (Mr. Wang Chen): "It’s worse to watch the ball than to play it. In fact, I think I’d rather not watch it, but sometimes, sitting at home, you may not be able to help it, knowing that she is playing at this time, and climbing online to see the scores."


    "I cheered for me during the World Series, and my voice was hoarse. This is involuntary."


    At the Beijing Olympic Games, Wang Chen didn’t reach the final and won the medal, but for her, being able to appear in the Beijing Olympic Games has already fulfilled her dream. Moreover, in Wang Chen’s present life, playing table tennis is just an interest and hobby, and running your own table tennis club is the key. I also wish Crystal Huang and Wang Chen, as well as other athletes, to find fun in their favorite sports and achieve their careers at the same time. Ok, we will broadcast Chinese stories for you later. Welcome to stay tuned.

History should not be forgotten!

1. The Book of Time: A Precious Record of History

History, like a heavy book, its pages are engraved with bits and pieces of human civilization. This history book not only records our glorious moments, but also witnesses our setbacks and failures. Every page is our foundation and a beacon for mankind to move forward. By studying history deeply, we can understand past decisions, choices and actions, thus better shaping our present and providing guidance for future decisions. History is a bridge to the future, and we should maintain respect and awe for it.

2. The danger of forgetting: the lessons of historical loss

However, the passage of time sometimes makes some historical events drift away and even be forgotten. This kind of forgetting is not harmless. The loss of history means the loss of valuable lessons and experiences. We draw wisdom from history and learn lessons from failure. Only by remembering history can we better avoid falling into the same mistake. Every country and every nation has a unique history. Only by inheriting and learning can we better understand our cultural identity and lay a solid foundation for future development.

3. Guardian of History: Authenticity and Responsibility

In the process of cherishing history, we must become the guardians of history. History should be true, not deliberately forgotten or tampered with. This requires everyone’s joint efforts, and it is our responsibility to maintain the authenticity of history. Only true history can be the source of our wisdom and guide us forward. We should try our best to protect the integrity of history, so that every historical event leaves a trace and cannot be forgotten. Through joint efforts, we can ensure that history will not be forgotten and become the driving force and guide for us to keep moving forward.

Smart cars compete for "upgrading", how to start?

Image source: Extreme Vietnam official

Near the end of the year, although the "Golden September and Silver 10" has ended, the competition among major car companies has not been resolved, but there are signs of a new round of price war.

At present, the industry has entered the year-end impulse stage, and in November, many brand car companies announced price reduction concessions. Extreme Yue 01 announced the price adjustment of the whole department, with a minimum starting price of 219,900 yuan, a further reduction of 5,000 yuan for new replacement users and a cash compensation of 30,000 yuan for users who have already picked up the car. And some of the best-selling models of BYD Dynasty Network and Ocean Network have also reduced their prices by 3000-18000 yuan. In addition, in November, brands such as Euler, Krypton, Ideality, Ai ‘an, and Lectra all launched cash discounts and various promotional items ranging from 5,000 to 40,000 yuan.

From the end of 2023, this only one month is a critical period for car companies, which is directly related to the achievement of their respective annual sales targets. At this point, the "price war" of car companies that almost ran through the whole year also came to the closing moment.

Along with the intensive push of new products by major car companies and the multi-party competition of price wars this year, there may be some deeper thinking for the whole industry besides feelings.

In the last year or two, apart from the price war, what should major car companies roll up? Or what is the core element of the enterprise’s survival and even its advantage in the increasingly fierce market competition?

At present, the competition of new energy vehicles is becoming more and more fierce, and intelligence has become a new position for major brands to compete for. In addition to traditional car manufacturers, Wei Xiaoli and other new forces to build cars, automobile brands backed by Internet giants such as Jiyue and Wenjie have also joined the battle.

In the past, under the traditional logic, the automobile industry often focused on volume design, volume configuration and volume cost performance. In this competitive environment, in order to compete for market share, automobile manufacturers often sell their cars at low prices. In the eyes of the industry, price war is not a sustainable competitive strategy, and enterprises need to consider more important competitive factors such as quality, technology and service to achieve long-term development goals.

Then, when the domestic auto market enters the intelligent "second half" competition, what should the auto companies roll up?

A price war that swept through the whole year has made major car companies play a "real fire" and have come up with housekeeping skills in order to seize more market share. However, to the surprise of most people, Huawei, which was relatively quiet in the first half of the year, began a concentrated outbreak in the second half of the year. No one expected that the new car-making force, originally represented by "Wei Xiaoli", will now be replaced by new car-making brands blessed by technology companies and become the focus of market attention.

From Huawei’s announcement of the independence of BU business, to the listing of Zhijie S7, to Yu Chengdong’s public invitation to Cyrus, Chery, Jianghuai, BAIC and FAW to join the new joint venture company. Although Huawei does not build cars, its every move will attract the attention of the entire automobile industry.

From the perspective of the industry, the leading intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit technology, coupled with excellent car definition and design, user experience building, and marketing and sales capabilities, will become the "strength puzzle" that major car companies will compete to complete.

Coincidentally, in the current car-making industry, there is also a company that has also assembled this "explosive configuration" early, that is, the extreme leap created by Geely and Baidu.

The two companies have leading strengths in the technology industry and the automobile industry respectively, and the more they can get sufficient resources from the two companies. Thanks to the blessing of these two companies, Baidu’s powerful AI capability has become a sharp weapon to break the circle of Extreme Yue 01, and it has also become the world’s first smart car with a large model "getting on the bus". "ERNIE Bot" has made SIMO’s IQ reach a new height.

According to Xia Yiping, CEO of Jidu and Extreme Yue, Extreme Yue 01 is the first "real" smart car in China, and the core of its intelligence is that it is the first car equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip in China. The 8295 chip brings the intelligent cabin voice interaction ability beyond the same level and the smoothness of the car comparable to that of the mobile phone, which is regarded as a "revolutionary change" by Xia Yiping, and the car finally has the confidence to fight head-on with the mobile phone.

Another selling point of Extreme Yue 01 is the intelligent driving system. Extreme Yue is the first automobile brand in China, and it is also the only smart car brand that adopts the "pure vision" intelligent driving scheme at present. As a "developer" of pure visual mode, Tesla’s domestic version of Model Y only provides high-speed intelligent assisted driving, while urban scenes and automatic parking are missing. The beta version of FSD has just entered the owner’s manual.

PPA, the core function of the high-order intelligent driving system carried by Extreme Yue 01, has run through the urban roads in Shanghai and achieved "zero takeover" in the whole process. The system has Baidu Apollo’s full set of advanced autopilot capabilities and security system empowerment. Baidu Apollo has always been regarded as one of the leading companies in autonomous driving technology in the industry.

Now, the results are finally reflected in the body of Extreme Yue 01. Empowered by Baidu Apollo, the intelligent driving system of Extreme Yue 01 applies the "pure vision" scheme of BEV (God’s perspective) +Transformer (a neural network model for processing sequence data). Based on dual NVIDIA DRIVE Orin chips, the AI computing power reaches 508 TOPS. Some insiders said that at present, in the competition of the first echelon in the field of smart driving, the main competitor of Baidu Apollo is Huawei.

All high-level intelligent capabilities are leading "out of the box". With the blessing of benchmarking intelligent capabilities, Extreme Yue 01 has also become a popular exhibition area at the Guangzhou Auto Show.

With the advent of the era of new energy vehicles, more and more family consumers began to focus on 200,000-300,000 high-end pure electric SUVs, which made the competition in this market segment more and more fierce. In the past, the main products in this price range were often immersed in the competition of comfortable configuration. Even if there are occasional models with "black technology" as the selling point, it is often the "lamp factory" like Audi that produces fancy lamps, or the engine technology of German and Japanese car companies has been improved.

Nowadays, independent brands have begun to focus on building high-end intelligent pure electric vehicles and launched an impact on the high-end market. Without exception, these models are full of scientific and technological content: high-computing chips, lidar, intelligent cockpit, etc. have almost become the standard of "high-end". The slogan "entry-level is high" has also been heard many times.

"Volume" is the key word of China automobile market in 2023. From competing product functions, to competing technology and iterative ability, the competition in the auto market has become fierce. Under such a market background, it is not easy for latecomers to break the game. The combination of car companies and technology companies will become a new trend to drive the development of the entire smart electric vehicle industry.

Just as the sale of domestic Tesla a few years ago led to the explosion of the new energy vehicle market. Nowadays, the smart car ecology blessed by Baidu, Huawei and other technology companies will play the role of Tesla’s "catfish" and drive the smart electric vehicle industry into a new game stage, which is undoubtedly at the forefront.

At the end of 2022, because the new energy car purchase subsidy will end in 2023, a considerable number of potential users chose to buy cars in advance before the year, in order to catch the last bus of subsidies.

However, what no one expected was that after entering 2023, Tesla’s price reduction directly plunged the price of new energy vehicles, and it was normal for new energy vehicles to offer a discount of 30,000 to 50,000. Now, car companies have started the mode of rushing sales at the end of the year. After last year’s "lesson", some consumers are cautious about the concessions given by car companies. It can be seen that a simple price war has been difficult to effectively stimulate users’ desire to buy a car.

In this context, how to grasp users’ core car purchase demands and give them sufficient "car purchase confidence" has gradually become the focus of a new round of game, and major car companies have begun to focus on car purchase rights.

In the past, when we bought a car, we paid more attention to the official selling price and the floor price given by dealers. With the rise of the direct sales model, it seems that only the officially announced model price is left for consumers who buy new energy vehicles. Under the background of the "rights war" of car companies, some cognitive "misunderstandings" have also emerged from the traditional perspective.

Take the Extreme Yue 01 listed last month as an example. The earliest official price of this car was 249,900. After seeing this price, many people seem to label the Extreme Yue 01 as not cost-effective. In fact, this single-dimensional algorithm not only ignores the software and hardware advantages of Extreme Yue 01 in terms of intelligent cabin and intelligent driving, but also ignores the small order rights of Extreme Yue 01 and the car purchase rights of 70,000 yuan. In fact, if all kinds of rights and interests are added up, the "intelligence-price ratio" of Jiyue 01 will remain highly competitive among competing products.

But Ji Yue is not satisfied with this. On November 30th, Extreme Yue announced the launch of a new pricing policy and rights: from now on, all models of Extreme Yue 01 (Extreme Yue 01 Max or Extreme Yue 01 Max Performance) will be purchased according to the latest price standard. In addition, the optional package of 100kWh ternary lithium battery offers a discount of 10,000 yuan (limited time), and the 720km battery life version of Extreme Yue 01 Max (that is, the optional 100kWh battery package) offers a maximum discount of 40,000 yuan.

Based on the new price policy and rights and interests, the price of the entry-level version of Extreme Yue 01 has been increased to 219,900 yuan. Compared with other models in the industry, such as Tucki G9, Aouita 11 (panoramic car viewing), Wenjie M7 and Tesla Model Y, the discount is at least 30,000 yuan.

For the old users who have picked up the car, Extreme Vietnam will give cash compensation of 30,000 yuan difference according to the latest model price. Immediately, the next step is to add 12 months of "pure vision" high-level intelligent driving ROBO Drive Max free subscription, lifetime vehicle/three-electricity warranty, lifetime free road rescue and many other rights and interests. Not only that, users who lock orders in 2023 can upgrade the U-shaped steering wheel for free, and receive UWB keys for free when picking up the car during the year.

Judging from the trend of the new energy vehicle market this year, the discount given by car companies for the year-end sales volume is indeed great, but to say how the specific effect is, it will eventually fall above the user’s demand.

At this point, although the brand of Extreme Yue was born soon, its response speed to the market is still very fast in controlling users’ thinking.

After the previous launch conference of Extreme Yue 01, the official received a lot of feedback from users, thinking that the optional package of Extreme Yue 01 was complicated and difficult to understand, and everyone did not approve of bundling the optional 21-inch wheels with the comfortable suit. Extremely aware of the important value of user feedback to new products and new rights and interests, Extreme Yue set up a special group overnight and completed the rights and interests adjustment plan the next day.

In fact, for the brand of new car-making power, it is difficult to "start" under the background of price war, and every penny should be spent on the cutting edge. For brands such as Jiyue, Wenjie and Zhijie, which have the empowerment of technology companies and occupy a certain opportunity in intelligent games, it is more necessary to grasp the needs of users while competing for technology.

Therefore, Xia Yiping constantly stressed on various occasions that technological development needs a process. As a product to be listed soon, it is impossible for Extreme Yue 01 to lead to a decline in the whole product experience because of too advanced technical iteration. Extreme Yue 01 will provide users with the best solution in intelligence, but it will not blindly pursue the application of cutting-edge technology and lose some product experience.

Since this year, the "price war" in the domestic auto market has gradually escalated. Tucki G6, Wenjie New M7, New Lantu FREE, 2024 Tucki X9, Lingke 08EM-P, Zhiji LS6 and Feifan R7, and so on, all have embarked on the road of low price when they go public.

Under the double pressure of price war and rights war, the test is not only the research and development and reserve of intelligent technology of car companies, but also the competition of "bearing capacity" of the whole enterprise.

For Ji Yue, "birth" does give Ji Yue a "pressure resistance" that is different from other new brands of car making. Geely Holding Group and Baidu Group, as strategic partners of the automotive robot project, are extremely powerful capital backing.

Based on the vast architecture of the world-leading SEA, Geely Holding Group gives full play to its competitive advantages in the fields of R&D, manufacturing and supply chain management, deeply integrates automotive intelligence and networking technology, and is responsible for manufacturing intelligent leading automotive robots. Baidu is the world’s leading AI model company, and also a leading enterprise in autonomous driving technology. It fully opens up the latest and most advanced AI technology capabilities such as intelligent cockpit, intelligent driving and ERNIE Bot, and empowers automobile robots.

Under the joint efforts of the two, compared with other new forces, it has got rid of the complicated links such as the construction of heavy-asset production plants, chassis development, and research and development of autonomous driving technology. It can bring users a smarter and more intimate product experience to the greatest extent under the innate advantages of mature vehicle architecture, top-notch car production line, high-quality supply chain system and Baidu AI technology.

Although, at present, the alliance between technology companies and automobile companies has not yet formed a certain road to success. But what is certain is that this powerful alliance composed of head car companies and technology companies will become the "darling" in the market competition for a long time to come, and will even have an impact on the development of the entire intelligent electric vehicle industry.

"Collect" the most complete schedule of badminton matches in 2023.

Time has entered 2023, and badminton has entered a new year. With the normal development of sports events in 2022, domestic and international badminton events will flourish in 2023! After three years, badminton fans can feast their eyes again!

What are the badminton events that should not be missed in the new year? Let’s talk about domestic badminton events first. On January 1, 2023, China Badminton Association made careful arrangements for badminton competitions and activities in 2023, both professional and amateur. There are competitions and activities for the old, middle-aged, young and young people, and there is an upsurge of "national fitness" in China!

I. Arrangement of domestic badminton events and badminton activities

In 2023, the national events drawn up by China Badminton Association include: National Badminton Individual Championship, National Badminton Team Championship, National Badminton Individual Championship and National Badminton Team Championship; China Badminton Club League A and China Badminton Club League B; National Youth Badminton Championship, National U Series Badminton Finals, National Fitness Badminton Competition, etc. The time starts in February, and the specific arrangements are as follows:

Second, international badminton events

Looking at the World Badminton Federation tournament table, in 2023, there will be 4 events of Super 1000, 6 events of Super 750, 9 events of Super 500, 11 events of 300, and 10 other important events. It is stipulated by the World Badminton Federation that the top 10 players must participate in more than 750 events (unless injured). Therefore, badminton events in 2023 are intensive and quite exciting!

January

January 10th-15th, Malaysian Open, Super 1000.

January 17th-January 22nd, Indian Open, Super 750.

January 24th-29th, Indonesian Masters, Super 500.

January 31st-February 5th, Thai Princess Masters, Super 300.

At the beginning of the new season, Guoyu is fully fired and goes all out to fight in the international arena. Guoyu men’s singles Shi Yuqi, Lu Guangzu, Li Shizhen, Weng Hongyang; Han Yue and Zhang Yiman of women’s singles; He Jiting/Zhou Haodong, Tan Qiangren/Yu Xiang in men’s doubles, Li Wenmei/Liu Xuanxuan, Zhang Shuxian and Du Yue in women’s doubles; Wang Yilu and Huang Dongping of mixed doubles all signed up for the competition.

The high-level competition with four back-to-back stops is a great test for athletes. Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong and Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan only participated in the first two high-level races, while Chen Yufei, He Bingjiao, Wang Zhiyi, Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi and Liang Weikeng/Wang Chang participated in the first three races.

The first two stops (Malaysia Open and India Open) of the Yellow Duck Team were combined, but they were dismantled in the third stop (Indonesia Competition) and the fourth stop (Princess Thailand Competition), namely Du Yue, Wang Yilu’s partner, Feng Yanzhe, Huang Dongping’s partner, Yu Xian, the women’s doubles team, Zheng Yu and Du Yue’s partner, Zhang Shuxian and Liu Sheng, one of the women’s doubles champions in the 2022 World Youth Championship.

There are also some new talents born after 00, such as Chen Boyang/Liu Yi in men’s doubles, Li Yijing/Luo Min Xu in women’s doubles, Jiang Zhenbang/Wei Yaxin in mixed doubles, and Cheng Xing/Chen Fanghui will also appear in Indonesian Masters and Thai Princess Masters. We expect Guoyu’s main force and rookie to bring wonderful games to the fans at the beginning of the new year!

February

Mainly intercontinental team events, mixed team events in Asia, Europe, Africa, America and Oceania, these are the qualifiers of this year’s Su Cup. As China is the defending champion and the host, China can directly enter the Su Cup lineup. Starting from the tacit understanding degree of training novices and cultivating new combinations, China team probably won’t send the main players to participate in the competition. In this way, the main force of Guoyu who participated in the January competition will have a period of time to adjust their state and prepare for the important competition in March.

March

March 7 -12, German Open, Super 300

March 14th-19th, All England Open, Super 1000.

March 14th-19th, China Ruichang Masters, Super 100.

March 28th-April 2nd, Spanish Masters, Super 300.

This month, there are four consecutive European competitions, among which the Super 1000 All England Open is the most concerned event. In addition, the China Jiangxi Ruichang Masters, which is held at the same time as the All England Competition, is a new event, which will be a stage for young players, and young players of Guoyu will naturally not miss this excellent exercise opportunity.

april

There are not many high-level competitions in April. Except for the Super 300 Masters in Orleans, France, which was held from April 4 to 9, all other events were intercontinental individual championships. The more important event was the Asian Badminton Individual Championships held in Dubai from April 25 to 30, which is equivalent to the Super 1000 event, and the main force of the national badminton should participate. There are also the Pan-American Championship from April 27th to 30th, and the European Championship from April 25th to 30th.

May

From May 14th to 21st, Sudirman Cup was held in Suzhou, China.

May 23 -28, Malaysia Masters, Super 500

May 30th-June 4th, Thailand Open, Super 500

There is no doubt that Asia is the place with the highest level of badminton. It started from Asian competitions in January and returned to Asia again in May. May is the beginning of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games points competition. This month, the focus is on the Sudirman Cup mixed team competition, with Guoyu playing at home, with the goal of defending successfully. Of course, the strength of Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Denmark and other teams should not be underestimated! In Suzhou, fans can watch the Su Cup once again, which is also the third time that domestic fans can watch the ball again. Now tickets for Su Cup have been sold.

June

June 6 -11, Singapore Open, Super 750

June 13th-18th, Indonesia Open, Super 1000.

June 20th-25th, China Taipei Open, Super 300.

The Indonesian Open has always been a highly regarded event, and it has the title of "Devil’s Home". Even Lin Dan failed to win the Indonesian Open. Since he first fought in the Indonesian Open in 2002, Lin Dan has participated in the Indonesian Open eight times in 2002, 03, 04, 09, 11, 15, 16 and 17, but his best result is only the semi-finals, and he has not reached the final once.

July

July 11th-16th, US Open, Super 300.

August

August 1 -6, Australian Open, Super 500

August 8 -13, New Zealand Open, Super 300

August 21 -27, World Championships

The World Championships is also an annual badminton feast, and it is also the most concerned event for every player. How many players have become famous here in World War I, such as Marin of Spain, Indanon of Thailand, and Xie Dingfeng/Su Wei of Malaysia, all of which have sprung up in the World Championships. For every player, the World Championships are an indispensable puzzle for his career.

September

September 5 -10, China Open, Super 1000,

September 12th-17th, China Hong Kong Open, Super 500.

There has been no competition in China for nearly three years. For domestic fans, it is undoubtedly the gospel of many fans to reopen the competition in 2023. The atmosphere of watching the ball on the spot is completely different, and I look forward to the re-launch of domestic competitions this year.

In October, the competition returned to Europe, and the Danish Open and the French Open were at a higher level. At the same time, the Danish Open is also one of the events that everyone pays more attention to. However, for fans, it takes jet lag to watch the live broadcast of European events, and the events are very dense, but the excitement of these stops is really good.

November

November 7 -12, Korea Masters, Super 300

There are also four races in November, but it is close to the end of the year. At the same time, back-to-back races are held, and the fatigue of many players is rising. It is easy for players to retire in these races.

The competition in December mainly focuses on the year-end finals, which will be held on December 13-18 at a location to be determined. The year-end finals, which is the last event of the year, will compete for the championship of the year-end finals with the top eight singles players or eight groups of doubles players, and each game will be splendid and not to be missed.

If you want to play badminton well, look at these 16 methods.

First, for amateur badminton lovers, if they want to improve their skills in a short time, some practical methods can be adopted. Here we recommend a 16-rule rule to you.

  1, strive to hit the ball in front of the upper body, don’t let the ball fall to the height below the neck, otherwise the return ball will have no attack.

  2. Hold your hands and clap your hands as relaxed as possible so as to maximize the strength of your wrist.

  3. In singles, you should return to the center position immediately after each stroke. When defending doubles, you should return to the position parallel to your partner, while when attacking doubles, you should keep the position before and after your partner. When serving doubles, you should immediately block the net forward after serving a short ball to prevent your opponent from hitting a short ball back.

  4, in singles, unless spiking, never hit the ball in the opponent’s midfield, try to play two corners.

  5. When making a powerful forehand or backhand stroke, the body should turn to the hitting side in order to stand firm.

  6. The singles serve should be as high and far as possible, the doubles serve should be short, the flight route of the ball should be close to the upper edge of the net, and the serve should be changeable.

  7. Try to confuse each other with fake actions as much as possible within the scope permitted by the rules, but don’t reveal your intentions in advance.

  8. When playing a high ball, it is necessary to accurately judge the flying direction of the ball, and the ball should be played as high as possible and close to the opponent’s bottom line.

  9. When hanging the ball in front of the net, the route of the ball should be short and as close as possible to the net.

  10. Spike should be as far away from the opponent as possible or directly hit the opponent’s grip or shoulder.

  11. When you are at a loss or need a short respite, you can hit a high ball and then return to the center of the field.

  12. For beginners, the backhand end line is usually its weak area, and attention should be paid to hitting its weakness.

  13. When hitting the high ball back in the frontcourt, you should try to use spike, which is an important scoring method, but don’t hit the high and short ball at the baseline, which usually gives the opponent a chance to kill the ball.

  14. Many athletes have their own unique style of play, so they should be good at judging the landing point of the ball and get into the appropriate position in time, but don’t expose their movements too early.

  15. When you receive the service in doubles, you should lift the racket to force the opponent to serve low. If the opponent’s service is too high, you should immediately go forward and kill.

  16. If you are scoring, don’t change your style of play. If you are losing, you should immediately adjust your manners. If your continuous attack doesn’t work, you can hit a high ball and then find a fighter to attack again.

Second, the six key decisions to win in singles

1. Forcing backhand

  As far as all athletes are concerned, the backhand stroke in the backcourt is always more or less weaker than the forehand stroke, which is relatively less offensive and the ball path is relatively simple (due to the limitation of physiological anatomy). Some athletes can’t hit the ball to the opponent’s end line with backhand in the backcourt, so they should attack the opponent’s backhand without relaxation.

(1) adjust the position of the other party

  Make the opponent’s backhand area open, and then hit the ball to the backhand area, forcing the opponent to use the backhand to hit the ball.

(2) For opponents with poor backhand.

  People with poor backhand in the backcourt often use overhead hitting, sideways hitting and sideways bowing to make up for the lack of backhand. Because the backhand area is hit overhead and sideways, the body center of gravity and body position should be biased to the sideline of the left field, so you can repeatedly attack the opponent’s backhand area to keep his body away from the center. In this way, there is a large gap in the forehand area, which is originally the advantage of the other side, and it has become the target of attack. When the opponent hits a half-court lob, the choice of the smash point should be: if the opponent moves slowly, the smash point should be until he just left. Because it is very difficult to stop immediately and then turn around to catch the ball in the fast movement. When forcing the opponent to hit the ball with a backhand in the backcourt, he should take the initiative to move forward and seal the front of the net. When the opponent hangs the ball in front of the net with a backhand in the backcourt, he can quickly come forward to kill or rub and hook, creating an active opportunity for the next shot.

2. Flat high ball presses the bottom line

  Hit the two corners of the opponent’s backcourt with a fast and accurate flat ball, try to reduce the flying arc of the ball as much as possible on the premise that the opponent can’t intercept it, and press the opponent to the bottom line. When the opponent returns the half-court high ball, he can smash the attack. When using the flat high ball to press the baseline, the tactical effect of the flat high ball can be increased if it is combined with chopping and killing. Under normal circumstances, the more the landing point of the flat ball and the landing point of the kill and hoist are pulled apart, the better the effect will be.

3, pull, hanging combination to kill the ball

  This tactic is to hit the ball to the four corners of the opponent’s court accurately, so that the opponent will run back and forth on the court every time he hits the ball. When using this tactic, different methods of pulling and hanging should be adopted for opponents with different characteristics. For those who have slow backward footwork, they can play more front and back fields; For those who run blindly and fly all over the field, you can use the double ball and fake action; For those with poor flexibility, you should make more diagonal lines and try to make the other side turn around as much as possible; Those with poor backhand in the backcourt still attack backhand by pulling away; Those who are not good at physical strength can use more slapping and hanging to consume their physical strength, and then overcome it. If you can skillfully use the techniques of flat ball, split hanging and rubbing, pushing and hooking in front of the net, you can quickly pull away the opponent and wait for an opportunity to smash, then this tactic can get better results.

4. Hanging and killing the Internet  

  First, in the backcourt, the ball should be pressed down with light kill, point kill and split kill combined with hanging ball, and the landing point should be chosen on both sides of the field to make the opponent passively return the ball. When the opponent returns the ball in front of the net, he quickly goes online to create a half-court smash opportunity by rubbing the ball against the net, or crossing the diagonal, or pushing it quickly; If the opponent picks a high ball in front of the net, he can kill the ball directly on him in the process of retreating.

5. Transition ball

  First of all, it should be clear that the transition ball is to get rid of passivity and actively create conditions for the counterattack of the next shot. How to change passivity into initiative is an important part of the competition. When you are passive, do it: first, buy time to adjust yourself and control the center of gravity of your body. It is a common means to hit a high ball from the baseline in front of the net or in the backcourt. When you are in the state of running and chasing the ball, or when your body’s center of gravity is out of control, you can play a high-distance ball to gain time, restore your body’s center of gravity and adjust your situation. Secondly, use the change of the ball path to disrupt the opponent’s offensive steps. When catching a kill ball or a lob, you should return the ball to a place far away from the opponent, so as to destroy the continuous rapid attack of the opponent’s lob and lob. If the opponent hangs and kills the ball and blindly goes online, but his own goal is better, he can return the ball to the opponent’s bottom line.

6, defensive counterattack

  This tactic is to deal with opponents who attack blindly and have poor physical strength. At the beginning of the game, first lure the opponent to attack with a high ball, and when the opponent only cares about attacking and neglects his own defense, he can attack suddenly. Or attack when the opponent’s physical strength drops and the speed slows down. This tactic of starting to stick to it, taking advantage of it, waiting for it, and making a preemptive strike sometimes works well.

Third, the midfield batting technique-practice

Midcourt batting techniques can be roughly divided into: blocking the net before the ball, picking the high ball, drawing the ball and hitting the ball quickly.

1, blocking the net before the ball technology

  1) Forehand block straight net ball technology

This technique is mostly used to catch the ball from the other side. Before catching the ball, use the footwork of catching and killing the ball to move to the sideline of the right field, with the body leaning to the right, the arm extending to the right, the forearm rotating outwards and the wrist abduction. When hitting the ball, the forearm rotates slightly and turns the wrist to drive the racket to push the ball from the bottom right to the front, and block the ball to the front of the straight net. When hitting the ball, the forearm can be rotated from the outside to the inside to drive the racket to cut and block the straight net from the right to the front. After hitting the ball, turn left to face the net, then step forward with your right foot, and the racket turns left with your body and closes in front of you.

  2) The forehand block is the same as the technical preparation posture of the diagonal net.

When hitting the ball with a swing, the forearm is slightly rotated inward while the elbow joint is flexed, and the wrist is extended from the back to the right side of the adduction flashing bat holder. Before hitting the ball on the right side, the wrist and fingers control the angle of the racket face to make the ball fall in front of the diagonal net.

  3) backhand blocking the ball in front of the straight net

The forehand is also used to catch and kill the ball. First, use the footwork of catching and killing the ball to move to the sideline of the left field, turn left and lean forward, with the right shoulder facing the net, bend the right elbow, abduct the wrist, and lead the racket to the front of the left shoulder. When hitting the ball, with the impulse of the opponent’s incoming ball, the front arm drives the racket from the upper left to the left, and the top force of the thumb is used to swing the ball lightly to stop the ball back to the front of the straight net. After hitting the ball, the body turns right to face the net, and the racket moves in front of the body.

  4) The backhand hook is used to kick the ball in front of the diagonal net

The backhand hook is used to catch the kill ball diagonally. When hitting the ball, the wrist flicks the lower left side of the ball holder from abduction to backward extension, making the ball fall in front of the diagonal net.

2, the lob technique

  1) The forehand catches and picks the straight backcourt golf ball

  When the opponent kills the right line ball, his right foot takes a big step to the right. Move the racket sideways with footwork, swing the right arm slightly to the right and then slightly outward, with the wrist extended to the maximum, so that the racket swings back quickly, followed by a slight outward swing when the right forearm swings forward rapidly, and the wrist extends from the back to the straight wrist. At this time, the elbow plays the role of "fulcrum", and the racket face accurately hits the ball at the middle and lower parts of the bat tray, making the ball fly in a straight and high direction. After hitting the ball, the forearm is rotated inward, the racket is waved to the front of the body, and the racket is recovered to the front.

  2) Backcourt lob with backhand catch.

Before hitting the ball, the forearm is pronated, the wrist is abduction, and the racquet is brought to the left. When hitting the ball, the upper arm is supported, the forearm swings rapidly to the right front, the wrist flashes from abduction to backward extension, the racket is gripped tightly, and with the jacking force of the thumb, the ball is swung at full speed to make it fly in a straight line. If you swing diagonally, the ball flies diagonally.

3. Ball-drawing technique

  1) Forehand flat draw

Stand with your feet equal and slightly wider than your shoulders, and take a small step to the right with your right foot. At the same time, your upper body leans slightly to the right, and your right arm swings up to the right. With the racket lifted up, your elbow joint keeps a certain angle. Before hitting the ball, your elbow joint swings forward, your forearm is slightly rotated back, and your wrist is slightly abduction and extension, leading to the back of your body.

When hitting the ball, the forearm rotates inward, the wrist is straight and flashing, the fingers grasp the handle, and the racket sweeps the ball from right back to right front at high speed. After hitting the ball, the racket will swing to the left, and the left foot will follow further to the left, ready to meet the second ball.

  2) backhand flat draw

The right foot crosses in front of the left side, the center of gravity is on the left foot, and the backhand grip of the right hand is in front of the left side. Before hitting the ball, the elbow is slightly raised, the forearm is pronated, the wrist is abduction, and the racquet is taken to the left. When hitting the ball, driven by the right turn of the hip, the forearm rotates outward, the wrist flashes from abduction to straightness, and the bottom of the ball holder is swung. After hitting the ball, the racket is retracted to the right side with the back movement of the body.

4, quick play technology

  1) Fast forehand play

Feet apart, right foot slightly in front, left foot in back, knees in a semi-squat position, hold the racket in front, lift the racket, lift it over the top of your head, and lead it to the lower right side behind your head, so the grip is loose. When it is judged that the incoming ball is above the head, the body moves forward slightly, and at the same time, the left foot takes a small step forward, and the right foot is slightly straightened into a left lunge, and the hitting point is selected in front of the right shoulder. Lift the upper arm forward and upward, bend the elbow, swing the forearm with external rotation later, and pat it behind the head. When hitting the ball, the forearm is forward, and the wrist is extended from backward to forward, and the back of the bat tray is flashed, so that the ball flies straight and quickly to the vicinity of the opponent’s midfield area. After hitting the ball, the racket moves forward to the left with the front cover and the right foot, and stands slightly behind the center line. The racket is raised from the lower left back to the upper front, ready to meet the next incoming ball.

  2) backhand fast play

Stand in the left field with your feet parallel, with your center of gravity on your right foot, and lift your racket in front of the right side. When it is judged that the ball is in the left field, the right forearm swings to the left, the body turns to the right shoulder to the net slightly to the left, and the left foot also takes a small step to the left. The forearm is rotated internally, and the wrist abduction is taken behind the left side. When hitting the ball, the forearm is rotated outward, the wrist is straight and flashing, and the fingers suddenly grasp the handle, and the front cover holds the back of the ball, so that the ball flies straight forward. After hitting the ball, the racket is raised from the lower right to the upper front to prepare for the next shot.

Fourth, the response of singles attack tactics

1, serve and attack tactics of strain.

Serving and attacking is an important scoring method in the game, and serving can be based on the opponent’s position. In order to gain the initiative of the first few shots, we should use different service methods according to the habit of hitting the ball back, counterattack ability, playing characteristics, spirit and psychological state. Through the use of this tactic, the whole strategic deployment of the other side is disrupted, causing the other side to be caught off guard. Especially at the critical moment, different effects can be achieved by using the tactics of serving and attacking; We can use it to open the deadlock and strive for initiative when we are deadlocked. When leading, you can use it to pursue victory and beat your opponent at one go; When you are behind, you can use it to make the final struggle, turn the tide and turn defeat into victory.

  (1) Pre-attack tactics

Serve the ball in the frontcourt, serve the ball in the No.1 area, serve the ball in the area between No.1 and No.2 area, and serve the chasing ball.

The main purpose of serving the ball in the frontcourt is to restrict the opponent from attacking immediately, and the other purpose is to pass the accuracy. Consciously judge the opponent’s return ball path, so as to organize and launch a quick and powerful attack, achieve direct score or get a second attack opportunity. Under normal circumstances, the ball in the forecourt area should be served mainly between the No.1 and No.2 areas and the chasing ball, which is safer and will not cause mistakes.

 (2) Serve the high ball and take the attack tactics.

There are three kinds of flat lobs: No.3 zone, No.4 zone and between No.3 and No.4 zones.

The difference between the tactics of serving a high ball and the tactics of attacking in the front court is that the attacking in the front court can directly seize the fighter plane to attack, while the attacking in the front court can only get the opportunity to attack by defending the middle.

  The purpose of leveling the high ball: first, to cooperate with the ball attack in the forecourt; The second is to let the opponent attack blindly or within the scope of our judgment, so that the server can quickly turn from defense to attack; The third is to cause the other party to make a direct mistake because of losing control.

  (3) The flat shot is mainly the flat shot in Zone 3.

The purpose of flat shooting tactics is: first, to sneak attack, if the opponent’s reaction is slow, or the position is off the sideline, and the gap in Zone 3 is large, the success rate of sneaking into Zone 3 may be high; The second is to force the other side to play flat and fast; The third is to force the opponent to the backcourt and cause the gap in the front area of the net.

 2. The response of the tactics of receiving serve and attacking.

  Receiving and attacking tactics is the easiest to score in receiving and serving tactics. One of the most threatening tactics. However, the premise is that the quality of the opponent’s service is not good. If the landing point is not in place when serving the high ball; Too high when the ball crosses the net in the forecourt; The speed of flat shot is not fast and the angle is not good; Poor rhythm, landing point and radian when serving a flat high ball will create opportunities for receiving and attacking.

  Without this prerequisite, blindly rushing to attack will have a poor effect and a low success rate. In addition, there must be positive. Bold sense of rushing to attack. In order to get the success (score) of the attack tactics, we must also combine our own technical characteristics and physical conditions with each other’s technical characteristics. Physical condition and psychological quality. For example, when the opponent serves a flat high ball from the right court and the landing point is not good, which has caused us an excellent opportunity to launch a rush attack, we should use our best skills, seize the opponent’s weakness, and make a decisive and bold rush attack.

  The completion of the attack tactics mostly depends on the organization of two or three beats to attack the ball path. Therefore, once the attack is launched, it is necessary to speed up, expand the control surface, seize each other’s weaknesses or customary routes and attack to the end, and complete the attack tactics in one go.

Manchester United want to sign a Premier League player to succeed Degea! Tenghage worried about the goalkeeper passing the ball and pointed out the reasons for the mistake.

Because the Premier League lost seven goals against Liverpool and Betis made many mistakes in the Europa League, Manchester United goalkeeper Degea won the best save award in the Premier League for the first time, but he stood at the forefront. According to British media, Manchester United are still considering bringing in David Laya of brentford or diogo Costa of Porto as the new No.1 candidate. Once the performance is not good, Degea will face the cleaning of British media, which has been the customary operation in the past two or three years.

Manchester United are currently negotiating a new contract with Degea, who has entered the last six months of his contract. However, his recent performance has led the British Daily Telegraph to say that the club may introduce a new goalkeeper this summer. Brentford’s Raya has been selected for the Spanish team twice, and his contract is about to enter the final year. Manchester United may sign at a lower price. The German transfer market network is valued at 22 million euros, but as Chelsea and Tottenham are also interested in the 27-year-old goalkeeper, the actual price may not be so low.

Compared with Laya, 23-year-old Costa is expensive, and the valuation of Portugal is 45 million euros. If you really want to get him, I’m afraid you need to double the price, and the breach of contract is 75 million euros. Not only that, the new goalkeeper will also ask for a very high salary, I am afraid it will not be much lower than the salary after the salary reduction and renewal of the contract.

The British media confirmed that Tenghage’s primary signing goal is the center and frontcourt, so he will only consider changing the goalkeeper if the budget allows. But Tenghage made it clear that Degea must improve his passing skills. "I can’t ignore (Degea’s passing mistake) today, but I think we have also seen many games in which he really performed well. "Tenghage said," We are working hard, and David (Degea) is also working hard. 」

As for the reasons for Degea’s mistakes, Tenghage thinks that there are objective factors besides personal skills. For example, in the Premier League, the match ball was provided by Nike, while the Europa League chose Japanese Morten’s football. "The result of the team’s analysis is that there is a lot of snow during the game, and the use of different football in the Europa League may cause him to encounter some problems. But I know that we can handle it, and he will do better on Sunday. "Teng Hager said.

Manchester United will face the relegation team Southampton at home this Sunday. The Red Devils beat their opponents 9-0 at Old Trafford, but Tenghage reminded his disciples not to underestimate their enemies: "We have seen that Southampton beat Chelsea away two weeks ago, so we must play well on Sunday to beat them. The points at the bottom of the list are very close, so they will be very active and hope to get points in the Dream Theater. Therefore, we must put in 100% and give our best performance. 」

In addition to Degea, the future of injured Manchester United center Marchal this summer is also uncertain. It is rumored by British media that Tenghage may sell him and bring in a new center. The 27-year-old French demon king can only play 14 times in 43 games this season and suffered five different injuries. In the past three seasons, he only scored 14 goals.

Tenghage hinted that Marchal would be given one last chance: "I believe a striker like him will improve our team. At different times in the game, and between different games, you always need a player who can bring different effects to the team. See what you need and what the game needs. Marchal can create something through his movement, his handling of the ball, his ball dealer and his shot. 」

Five self-driving companies fell in half a year, and the American technology circle ushered in a "change"?

Globally, the United States has been in the leading position in artificial intelligence technology and application for a long time, and the development of driverless driving originated in Europe and America earlier. However, judging from the development of self-driving enterprises in the United States in recent years, layoffs and resignations have occurred frequently, and even more self-driving enterprises have gone bankrupt.

According to the new strategic low-speed driverless industry research institute, in the past six months, many companies in the American driverless industry have announced a large number of layoffs and filed for bankruptcy, including Ibeo, the originator of lidar, and Embark Trucks, a self-driving truck company.

Embark Trucks: from valuation of 5 billion to near bankruptcy only16 months

Embark was founded in 2016 and headquartered in San Francisco. It was co-founded by Alex Rodrigues and Brandon Moak. It is understood that Embark’s initial plan is to build a self-driving shuttle bus for university campuses. Soon after, the team began to turn to self-driving trucks applied to highways.

The market for self-driving trucks has broad prospects, and Embark has quickly gained the favor of venture capitalists. During the period from 2016 to 2019, Embark raised funds including: 2 million USD seed round financing led by Maven Ventures, 15 million USD Series A financing led by DCVC, 30 million USD Series B financing led by Sequoia Capital and 70 million USD Series C financing led by Tiger Global.

In 2021, Embark began to seek listing. In the transaction report, Embark said that they plan to realize the operation of self-driving trucks in the southern industrial zone of the United States from 2024. In November 2021, Embark successfully went public with a market value of about 5 billion US dollars and raised about 614 million US dollars.

However, this 7-year-old enterprise has never really started its business, let alone generate revenue or make profits. According to foreign media reports, Embark has announced the end of its operations and laid off most of its employees.

Locomation: nearly 70% of employees have been laid off, and the product has not been put into commercial operation so far.

Locomation originated from the National Robotics Engineering Center of Carnegie Mellon University and was founded by five co-founders in 2018. Locomation is developing the formation driving technology of heavy trucks-ARC Autonomous Relay Convoy. This technology allows a pilot truck with a safe driver to lead a second truck, in which the driver can rest or do other work.

In February this year, Locomation failed to raise additional investment capital, which led to layoffs. It was once rumored by the outside world as bankruptcy. In this regard, Locomation denied the media reports about the closure, but admitted that it did fire most non-engineering personnel. It is not clear how many of the 122 employees estimated by Locomation are facing dismissal. It is reported that there are 80 employees, most of whom left on February 24th.

?etin Meri?li, co-founder and CEO of Locomation, said that the company will not close down, but it has indeed reduced most non-engineering personnel in the face of economic headwinds.

For the development of the company, Finch Fulton, vice president of policy and strategy of Locomation, said that the company had recruited many smart employees, practiced strategic solutions and had some customers, but now the result was that it could not raise funds and the products could not be put into commercial operation, so it was necessary to make this decision.

Quanergy: Apply for bankruptcy liquidation and seek maximum value.

Founded in 2012, Quanergy is one of the first companies to develop LiDAR devices for automotive applications. Quanergy’s mission is to create intelligent LIDAR solutions with powerful functions and reasonable prices for Internet of Things applications to improve people’s experience and safety.

In December, 2022, Quanergy announced that the company started the orderly sale procedure of its business. In order to promote the sale and maximize the value, the Company applied for protection to the United States Delaware District Bankruptcy Court ("Bankruptcy Court") in accordance with Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Law ("Bankruptcy Law"), and intended to sell its business in accordance with Article 363 of the Bankruptcy Law.

Before submitting the bankruptcy protection case, the board of directors and management evaluated a series of strategic options to maximize the value of all stakeholders. The company also reduced operating expenses and settled a major patent lawsuit with Velodyne. Now with the protection provided by Bankruptcy Law, the company intends to expand its marketing efforts of potential buyers interested in specific business sectors or assets, and continue to seek continuous sales of business.

The company is expected to continue to operate in the process of bankruptcy protection and seek to complete the rapid sales process with the approval of the bankruptcy court. In order to help fund and protect its operation, Quanergy intends to use the available cash on hand and normal operating cash flow to fund the operation and normal costs after the application.

Argo AI: layoffs are closed, and investors "start a new stove" to receive.

In October 2022, Ford officially issued a statement: Argo AI, an autonomous driving company jointly invested by Ford and Volkswagen, will be closed and dissolved, and employees and some parts will be accepted by Ford Motor Company and Volkswagen Company respectively.

Argo AI, an autonomous driving technology company from Google’s unmanned vehicle team, was founded in 2016. A year later, it was acquired by Ford for $1 billion and introduced Volkswagen investment in 2019. Argo AI, backed by two mountains, can be said to be a star unicorn in the field of autonomous driving.

The valuation was as high as $7 billion, and the accumulated gold was $2.6 billion. The team size was as high as 2,000. However, it is such a potential L4 autonomous driving technology company that layoffs and bankruptcies are reported, and after the dissolution, Argo AI’s employees and technology may be taken over by Ford and Volkswagen.

So far, Ford has indeed done this. Just last week, Ford Motor announced that it would set up Latitude AI, a wholly-owned subsidiary, and recruited hundreds of employees for the new company from Argo AI, which it had previously invested in.

According to Ford’s statement, Latitude, located in Pittsburgh, the former home of Argo, will focus on developing an autonomous driving system for millions of cars with hands-free, eyes-off-the-road. Ford said that Latitude will focus on the automatic technology to assist human drivers in the short term, and will not completely replace human drivers with autonomous driving technology.

Velodyne: completely quit after merging with Ouster.

In 2016, Velodyne Lidar Division was separated from Velodyne Acoustics Company and became an independent company. In order to get the goods first, Ford and Baidu jointly invested $150 million in Velodyne Lidar Company. Since then, Velodyne has successively signed contracts with companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai Mobius and Boston Dynamics.

In the laser radar industry, Velodyne has always been in the leading position as the first laser radar in the world, and considers itself as "the only laser radar enterprise that can mass-produce wire harnesses." As more and more enterprises poured into the laser radar track, the products became more and more involved, and Velodyne began to decline.

Especially in terms of price. Velodyne mainly sells 64-line, 32-line and 16-line lidar, and the official prices are $80,000, $40,000 and $8,000 respectively. Because Velodyne chose the agency mode in the sales mode, the buyer also needs to pay taxes and agents’ service fees. As a result, the final price of a Velodyne64 line lidar was nearly 700,000 yuan. Other companies can provide more cost-effective products.

In February this year, Velodyne said that it had successfully completed the "merger of equals" with the lidar manufacturer OUSTer, which took effect on February 10th. The company will keep the name of Ouster and continue to trade under the company’s stock code "Oust". This also means that Velodyne has launched the historical stage.

Although autonomous driving start-ups have fallen in the past six months, the exploration of autonomous driving in the United States is still overweight. According to foreign media reports, the American Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association released a policy framework on March 1, outlining the key priorities of federal autonomous vehicle legislation and supervision.

The framework proposed by the association includes several suggestions to the US Congress and the Department of Transportation to guide the federal government to take corresponding actions and promote the deployment and commercialization of self-driving cars in the United States.

Jeff Farrah, executive director of the association, said: "Self-driving cars are being tested and operated in various States in the United States, taking passengers and goods where they need to go. The United States is currently the leader in autonomous driving technology, but other countries are also making rapid progress. " Members of the association include Aurora, Cruise, Ford, Volkswagen, Waymo and Zoox.

With the continuous promotion of China’s position in the global political arena, China’s scientific research achievements in the field of autonomous driving have attracted worldwide attention. In 2023, China and the United States will have a new round of science and technology competition, and the industry will wait and see.
