[Editor’s note]

　The Central Economic Work Conference proposed to actively and steadily resolve real estate risks and promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market. Improve the relevant basic systems and accelerate the construction of a new model of real estate development. How to build a new model of real estate development? What are the new outlets for China real estate in the new year?

It has been two years since the "new real estate model" was first mentioned at the Central Economic Work Conference in 2021. With the changes in the relationship between supply and demand in the real estate market, the necessity and urgency of exploring new models have further increased.

In November, 2023, Ni Hong, Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, explained the "New Model of Real Estate Development" for the first time in an interview with Xinhua News Agency, which mainly expounded the ideas and considerations of building a new development model from the aspects of concept, system and mechanism and implementation.

In an interview with The Paper, the insiders said that the "three major projects" such as planning and building affordable housing are the key breakthrough directions for building a new model of real estate development. So, what impact will the new model have on the property market?

Pattern change: the housing system presents a dual-track pattern.

Recently, with the centralized construction of over 10,000 sets of allotment-type affordable housing in Fuzhou and Shenzhen, a new round of affordable housing construction was officially launched. What impact does the new round of affordable housing construction have on the property market and whether it will have a further impact on the price of commercial housing has become a topic of concern to everyone.

In an interview with The Paper, Wang Yeqiang, a researcher at China Academy of Social Sciences and director of the Real Estate Committee of China Urban Economics Association, pointed out that the new round of affordable housing construction is the perfection and supplement of China’s characteristic housing system. In the current overall downturn of the property market, the construction and investment of affordable housing will help stimulate the recovery of housing investment, expand market demand and boost confidence in the property market. Especially for the situation of oversupply in some cities and individual areas, the central government has proposed that we can make full use of the approved and unbuilt land recovered according to law, the housing and land disposed by the judiciary to raise allotment-type affordable housing, which is conducive to alleviating the structural contradictions in the current housing market.

In an interview with The Paper, Li Xiao, director of the Real Estate Chamber of Commerce of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, pointed out that the new round of affordable housing construction is an important part and an important measure of the dual-track real estate model.Among them, it is marked by increasing the construction of affordable housing and the closed management of affordable housing, and it is a track to solve the housing needs of low-income groups with affordable housing; Liberalizing the land price limit as the guide, gradually liberalizing the administrative management and control as the representative, and solving the housing demand of the middle and high income groups in the market is another track of the dual-track system.

"The future housing system presents a dual-track pattern. In the future, the scale and pace of development of affordable housing will gradually be faster than that of commercial housing."In an interview with The Paper, Zhang Bo, president of 58 Anjuke Research Institute, said that in the future, under the dual-track system, the pace of construction and development of affordable housing will be further accelerated, especially in 35 pilot cities with an urban population of over 3 million. From the perspective of security objects, the focus will be on people with low income and no self-owned housing, and targeted support will be given to talents. This is an important way to solve the problem of "home ownership", but from the perspective of the construction and listing of affordable housing, the supply of affordable rental housing will occupy a high proportion in the future.

In Li Xiao’s view, "marketization, after decades of development, the market supply is very mature, and what is lacking at present is affordable housing, so the new round of affordable housing construction is accelerating to make up classes. Once the affordable housing keeps up with this track, it will have many effects on the property market. On the one hand, it is conducive to improving people’s livelihood, promoting the healthy development of the real estate market, and facilitating the stable and healthy development of investment and the real estate market. On the other hand, it can alleviate the housing difficulties of urban low-income families, solve the structural contradictions of housing, and promote the steady development of urbanization and real estate market. In addition, for areas with high pressure on stock housing, it will increase the difficulty of unsold projects. "

Concept change: commercial housing returns to "commodity" attribute

For the current commercial housing market, Zhang Bo believes that although the listing scale of commercial housing will tend to decrease in the future, the product strength will be more improved. Whether it is a private enterprise or a central state-owned enterprise, the construction of commercial housing must go beyond the original standardized products, and several sets of huxing and several community styles will play a national routine. Because commercial housing will return to the "commodity" attribute in the future, that is, the price will be determined by market supply and demand, and the per capita living area of many cities has reached a high level at present.If we can’t build better products that can meet the demand, it will be difficult to perform well in the market in the future.

In an interview with The Paper, Li Xiao mentioned that the current general policy intention is to advance according to the positioning of "dual track system". Under this great judgment, it should be a reasonable judgment that the construction and supply of affordable housing will speed up Shuang Sheng. "I think that the overall scale of the follow-up distribution-type affordable housing will be greatly improved, but it will not occupy a major position in the affordable housing system. All the affordable housing systems represented by rent-type and distribution-type will eventually complement each other and keep pace with the commercial housing system."

Among them, a prominent feature of the new round of affordable housing construction is to expand the new way of placing affordable housing. Recently, Shenzhen, Fuzhou, Nanning and other places have landed to explore allotment-type affordable housing.

Taking Shenzhen as an example, the first batch of 13 affordable housing projects with a total land area of 177,000 square meters and a construction area of 757,000 square meters were started in Shenzhen, with a total investment of about 12.5 billion yuan and a total of more than 10,000 houses. The transportation, education and business facilities around the projects are relatively perfect.

Perfecting the security system is conducive to the further marketization of commercial housing

With the start of the first batch of allotment-type affordable housing, Wang Yeqiang pointed out that allotment-type affordable housing construction is a useful supplement to the housing security system. Strictly speaking, the existing shared property houses and talent houses are allotment-type affordable housing. The difference is that the allotment-type affordable housing proposed at present adopts a closed operation mode, which is more conducive to giving full play to the housing security function. The housing system in the future will adopt the model of "guarantee+market". For the commodity housing in the market system, its price is completely determined by the relationship between market supply and demand, with ups and downs. For affordable housing, the price is much lower than the market price by adopting the principle of capital preservation and low profit.

Zhang Bo also mentioned that the relationship between affordable housing and commercial housing is mutual combination, not competition.Because there are obvious differences between the two customer groups, they can’t circulate with each other. Therefore, the improvement of the affordable housing system is conducive to further opening up the policy space for market-oriented regulation in the field of commercial housing, which will promote the development of commercial housing in the direction of high quality and better meet the middle and high-end improvement needs.Promoting the new model of real estate development will be an important measure in the next real estate cycle. In the "three major projects", the renovation of affordable housing and urban villages is closely related to the dual-track system, and it is also an important measure for the new real estate model to land in an orderly manner.

Li Xiao mentioned, "From the market perspective, allotment housing may affect the relationship between supply and demand in the real estate market to a certain extent, but the specific impact on the price of commercial housing needs to be comprehensively analyzed in combination with local market conditions and policies."

"On the land supply side, the land for affordable housing will be allocated more, and at the same time, the long-term operability of the project will be taken into account. The saleable affordable housing will be placed according to the principle of guaranteed profit and low profit, and the price will be strictly controlled during the land allocation stage. Affordable rental housing will take the form of multi-channel co-construction, which may not be completely solved by new land supply. Land involved in improving living will still be auctioned, mainly for the commercial housing market. Since the coverage groups of commercial housing and affordable housing do not overlap, more will develop in the direction of mid-to-high-end improvement in the future. To pursue buyers with higher quality and larger area, they can only choose from commercial housing. " Zhang Bo said.

　　Where have you planted grass recently? With the internet deeply embedded in people’s daily lives, social networks have become the main position for the spread of cultural tourism projects. Zibo BBQ, Tianshui Mala Tang, Guizhou "Village Supermarket", Chaoshan singing and dancing … … Relying on the fission spread of social networks, a number of phenomenal IP’s of cultural tourism have sprung up and gained popularity, which has driven the explosive growth of cultural tourism industry and promoted the local brand and image. Many places are also eyeing the new opportunities brought by social network communication, starting the "rocking people" mode and striving to become the next destination in online celebrity.

　　"The fragrance of wine is also afraid of the depth of the alley", and the ingenious fancy propaganda has generated different traffic passwords, which has enabled many natural landscapes and cultural heritages of "bred in an inner chamber, with no one knowing her" to spread in a "broken circle". However, in some places, in the process of online marketing, there have also been practices that are divorced from reality, so that tourists come on impulse and return disappointed. For example, some scenic spots rely on "violent retouching" and AI synthetic videos to publish propaganda content that is inconsistent with the actual landscape; Some literary travel performances are over-exaggerated, full of vulgar, kitsch and vulgar pictures; Even the heads of cultural tourism departments in some places followed suit, ignoring the actual development of local cultural tourism, and the performance became self-entertainment. If everything goes too far, promoting "excessive force" will not only make the audience feel tired and resistant, but also raise the expectations of tourists too much and create the impression that "the goods are not right". Internet comment is a "double-edged sword". If it is divorced from reality and over-hyped, the higher it is blown, the worse it will fall.

　　Tourists in Jingxi, Guangxi are sightseeing in the scenic spot.

　　Rich tourism resources and profound cultural heritage are the basis and foundation for local development of cultural tourism. It is inseparable from sincere attitude and solid service to catch the "sky-splashing traffic". The development of cultural tourism is a comprehensive experience. Although some places are endowed with natural resources, due to insufficient investment in the early stage, weak infrastructure and reception capacity, they cannot meet the diversified needs of tourists, and they lack the ability to deal with emergencies and respond to risks after the influx of huge traffic. While actively operating social network accounts, relevant places need to "keep fit" and cultivate "internal strength", improve the cultural tourism industry chain, and make overall plans to improve the hardware level and software quality.

　　Creating a high-quality cultural travel IP lies in the accumulation of word of mouth. The cultural tourism industry is an important starting point for promoting consumption and expanding domestic demand. It needs to be clear that some scenic spots not only win traffic but also leave word of mouth because they persistently strengthen service quality supervision and create a tourist-friendly tourism environment. All in all, the propaganda of cultural tourism is innovative and grounded, so as to truly retain tourists and win a good reputation. (Zhong Wang, special commentator of Yangguang. com)

　　CCTV News:After the outbreak of pneumonia in novel coronavirus, Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine set up a fever clinic and isolation ward, and set up an expert group to deal with the epidemic. On New Year’s Eve, the expert group formulated eight protocols, covering prevention, influenza, pneumonia and recovery treatment, based on state administration of traditional chinese medicine’s "Notice on Printing and Distributing the Diagnosis and Treatment Plan for Pneumonia Infected by novel coronavirus (Trial Third Edition)" and "Chinese Medicine Prevention and Treatment Plan for Pneumonia Infected by novel coronavirus, Hubei Province (Trial Implementation)".

　　On New Year’s Eve, the Agreement on Prevention and Treatment of Pneumonia Infected by novel coronavirus in Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (First Edition) was released. The agreement was formulated with reference to state administration of traditional chinese medicine’s Notice on Printing and Distributing the Diagnosis and Treatment Plan for Pneumonia Infected by novel coronavirus (Trial Third Edition) and the Prevention and Treatment Plan for Pneumonia Infected by novel coronavirus in Hubei Province (Trial), combined with the previous practical work.

　　Chinese medicine experts believe that novel coronavirus’s pneumonia belongs to the category of "epidemic disease" in traditional Chinese medicine. The disease is located in the lungs because of the feeling of epidemic qi, and its basic pathogenesis features are "wind, heat, dampness, poison and blood stasis". According to the evolution process of patients’ condition, the prevention and treatment agreement scheme (first edition) was formulated for clinical reference.

　　Experts stressed that the formulation of the agreement on prevention and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is not without western medicine, but with the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine, so as to achieve better curative effect. At present, Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine announced the agreement for medical institutions’ reference.Please don’t blindly use it yourself, please follow the doctor’s advice.(Hu Meng Xu Jing)

　　　　[XCAR test original]

　　　　A few days ago, my colleague Duan Bin spoke highly of the brand-new Focus 1.5T after test driving in Beijing. After reading the article, I was a little dissatisfied. After all, it seems that this is only an official big change. How can there be such a completely new driving performance? Although the Focus car has always been called as a compact sports car, and it has been sought after by many modification enthusiasts, I have also driven the sports version before the modification. The matching of the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and the dual-clutch gearbox can only be said that different people have different opinions.

　　　　Design dialogue: Duan Bin"What nonsense! Do you dare to try?

　　　　Here, I don’t want to argue with my colleagues. As the saying goes, it’s mules or horses that come out for a walk! So I swung the "little whip" and used professional instruments to spur this brand-new Focus 1.5T model, which is being gradually pushed to the main force by Ford.

　 　 Analysis on the power of 1.5T;

　 　 First of all, the cylinder head and middle cylinder of this engine are mainly made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy material is beneficial to reduce the weight of the finished product, and the metal property with fast heat conduction speed is also beneficial to control the working temperature of the engine, especially for the turbo-engine with high working temperature, the temperature control is particularly important.

　 　 The turbocharging system of Ford’s 1.5T engine is provided by Borg Warner, and its main model is B01, which is a product tailored for small displacement engines. However, in order to improve the response speed of turbocharging system, Ford also applies integrated exhaust system and underwater cooling system in supporting technologies. Then the question is coming! What is an integrated exhaust system? What is the water cooling system?

　 　 On the integrated exhaust and water cooling system;

　　　　In fact, it is not difficult to understand these two technologies. As we know, the working principle of turbocharging is to use the engine exhaust gas to blow the connecting shaft in the turbine housing to make the compressor end work. In the traditional design, it takes a long distance for the exhaust gas to enter the turbine shell from the exhaust end, and the long exhaust gas stroke will inevitably affect the reaction speed of the turbine and cause delay. However, the integrated exhaust system firstly concentrates the engine exhaust gas in the cylinder and sends it into the compressor shell, which greatly shortens the intake stroke, improves the exhaust gas passing efficiency and effectively reduces the occurrence of turbine delay.

　 　 In addition to the improvement of exhaust manifold technology, the Borgwarner B01 turbine equipped in the original car is also specially built for small displacement engines. The electronic transmission device with noise suppression function controls the compressor and impeller, and optimizes the design of bearings and impellers, which has stronger reaction ability.

　 　 Water cooling system:

　　　　So what is the underwater cold design? In fact, this design is very common at present. According to the principle knowledge we have received, the oxygen content density in the air passing through the turbo-charged body will also decrease due to the increase in temperature. If this air is inhaled into the combustion chamber, it will easily knock, which is not conducive to the efficient use of fuel. Therefore, the necessary cooling must be carried out before this part of hot air enters the combustion chamber. At this time, the intercooler we often mention will play a role. The traditional intercooler, which was widely used a few years ago, used the windward side to cool the intercooler after the hot air directly entered the intercooler. However, the intercooler itself occupied quite a lot of engine room space, and put forward higher requirements for the layout of the intake pipe, so the layout of the intake pipe would generally be extended for a long time, which led to the delay increase due to the long intake stroke. However, the underwater cooling design is to arrange water channels in the intake manifold and exchange intake heat by liquid flow, so as to reduce the intake temperature. This design greatly saves the space in the engine compartment, and at the same time gets rid of the problem of long pipeline layout caused by traditional air-cooled cooling, thus shortening the delay.

　 　Test data:

　　　　In the end, this 1.5T engine, code-named CAF479WQ2, can explode up to 240Nm, with a maximum output of 133kW. The data even exceeds that of many 2.0L naturally aspirated engines, and it is slightly improved compared with the 1.6T engine used by Ford before.

　

　 　 Accelerated testing:

　　　　We use the catapult start mode to carry out the acceleration test. During the initial acceleration, the power unit gives people obvious momentum, but the fly in the ointment is that the original comfortable tire has a relatively average grip performance, which leads to obvious slippage and wastes time. However, it is worth mentioning that, although the axle shaft with equal length design is not adopted, the effect of restraining torsion steering of Focus 1.5T is still excellent. In the end, the acceleration time of the new Focus 1.5T is locked at 9.24 seconds.

　 　 Brake test:

　　　　During the braking test, the front suspension of the new Focus suppresses the body posture well, but there is still a slight nodding phenomenon. However, when the brake pedal is slammed, the feedback of the braking system is particularly linear, and neither the driver nor the passenger will feel too violent braking discomfort. In the end, the braking distance of the new Focus 1.5T is 39.55 meters, which is quite excellent compared with the compact model of the same class.

　 　 Pile winding test:

　 　 The adjustment orientation of the suspension system of the new Focus is quite sporty. The front of the car has a strong directivity, and the suspension limit in the process of winding the pile is very high. As long as it is not the wrong big foot to replenish oil, the front of the car will not be pushed out. As the speed increases, the rear of the car will swing, but the feedback given by the whole suspension can make me confident to control its attitude. However, during the whole test process, the body still showed obvious tilting phenomenon, but this will not affect its accurate control feedback.

FAW, the starting point of New China’s automobile industry. Seventy years ago, on July 15, 1953, the groundbreaking ceremony of the First Automobile Factory was held in the southwest suburbs of Changchun City, where the first car, the first Dongfeng brand car, and the first Hongqi brand high-end car were developed and manufactured in New China… FAW ushered in a new era of new China’s automobile industry from scratch.

On July 15, 2023, China’s automobile industry celebrated its 70th birthday, and China FAW, the "eldest son of the Republic," also celebrated its 70th birthday. In Changchun, China FAW held a celebration to commemorate this occasion.

With the support of the whole country, FAW was completed and put into production, realizing the leap from scratch in our country’s automobile industry. Since the reform and opening up, in the face of the reality that domestic automobile products were "less heavy and less light" and insufficient production capacity at that time, FAW accelerated the construction of modern production bases, vigorously developed light vehicles and cars, established joint ventures, and rapidly improved manufacturing capabilities. In recent years, FAW has focused on promoting reform and innovation, developing the Hongqi brand with the strength of the whole group, improving the independent research and development system, and promoting the reform of the system and mechanism to break the "iron rice bowl", and the enterprise has been reborn.

With the original intention and mission of "auto power", FAW and many brother enterprises and units together, fully promote the new China automobile industry from scratch, from weak to strong, strive to master key core technologies, make the national automobile brand bigger and stronger, and inject strong impetus into the Chinese path to modernization.

It’s not a good idea.Starting from scratch, laying the foundation for China’s automotive industry

Walking on Dongfeng Street in Changchun City, the white marble cornerstone of the "First Automobile Manufacturing Factory" stands tall, together with the solemn and atmospheric FAW early buildings.

Recently, the "China 500 Most Valuable Brands in 2023" released by the World Brand Lab shows that the brand value of FAW in 2023 is 429.157 billion yuan, ranking first in the automotive industry. Hongqi’s brand value in 2023 is 115.529 billion yuan, ranking first in the passenger car brand industry. The brand value of Jiefang 2023 is 118.776 billion yuan, ranking first in the commercial vehicle brand industry. These first places become the latest annotations of FAW’s 70-year continuous struggle to achieve brilliant results.

Looking back to the early days of the founding of New China, "when will the Chinese people be able to drive their own cars" is not only a dream of many people, but also a question of the times. Under the guidance of the "Instructions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Striving to Build Changchun Automobile Factory in Three Years", New China concentrated its efforts to do great things. Thousands of cadres and people gathered in Changchun to cultivate and build FAW.

Drawing on the strength of the whole country, it will be completed and put into operation in three years; starting from scratch, it will open up the beginning of the new Chinese automobile industry.

"In order to welcome the tenth anniversary of the founding of New China, we took on the task of manufacturing a high-end car," recalled Dou Shuxiang, a retired employee. At that time, time was tight, and the drawings were too late to draw. Everyone made a bold decision – to hit it directly with a hammer! Summoned the country’s top sheet metal masters, hung up more than 2,000 spare parts drawings, adopted the method of "catching the temple fair" to recruit talents, and skilled craftsmen rushed to trial-produce the pictures… On August 1, 1958, the first Hongqi high-end car was successfully trial-produced, which took only more than a month.

Hard work, innovation and development are rooted in FAW’s bloodline. In the process of reform and opening up, FAW has kept up with the pace of the times. Since the 1980s, it has joined hands with Volkswagen, Toyota and other world auto giants. Domestic Audi, Jetta, Bora and other models are deeply loved by the masses, absorbed a lot of technology and advanced management experience, and laid the industrial chain, technology and talent foundation for our country’s auto industry to catch up with the world’s advanced pace. It also "blocked" the loss of foreign exchange caused by imported cars.

Qiu Xindong, general manager and deputy party secretary of FAW, said that FAW ended the history that New China could not build cars, and established two national brands, "Liberation" and "Red Flag", which produced technology, talents and experience, and made significant contributions to the country’s economic development and national defense construction.

The development of FAW has witnessed the development of China’s automobile industry along the way, cultivating a large number of industrial talents who understand technology and management, and promoting the growth and expansion of the industrial chain.

Over the past 70 years, China’s automobile industry has developed from a manufacturing plant to a large number of automobile enterprise groups, and from a national automobile brand to a large number of well-known national automobile brands, forming a complete modern industrial system. Today, our country has long since grown from a country with a lack of industry to the world’s largest automobile producer and consumer. It has become the world’s largest automobile production and sales country for 14 consecutive years, and the scale of new energy automobile production and sales has ranked first in the world for 8 consecutive years. In the first quarter of this year, our country’s automobile exports took the first place in the world.

It’s not a good idea.Continuous research to make core technologies autonomous and controllable

"Control key core technologies" "Establish a national car brand" "Build a world-class enterprise"… No. 1 Xinhongqi Street in Changchun City is the headquarters of FAW Group, and these slogans can be seen everywhere. In FAW’s office building, people flow during the day and lights are brilliant at night. As an "old state-owned enterprise", FAW is like a start-up company with new vitality.

Enterprises are dynamic and innovative.

Maximum power of 560 kilowatts, performance indicators to achieve international leadership – early this year, by FAW self-developed self-produced V-type 12-cylinder direct injection engine trial production.

The engine is the "heart" of the car. The V12 engine, which has a complex structure and is difficult to develop, represents the highest level of passenger car engines. Foreign established car manufacturers have accumulated deep experience, and as a latecomer, China has been in the blank field for a long time.

The achievement of the V-type 12-cylinder direct injection supercharged engine has condensed the dream of several generations of FAW people. After continuous scientific and technological research, this engine broke the technical barriers of international suppliers for decades and took the initiative in power manufacturing.

In the field of new energy vehicles, FAW is also constantly innovating and forging ahead. On the eve of this year’s Shanghai Auto Show, following the launch of the electric and intelligent platform, the third largest platform of Hongqi’s "flag" high-end electric intelligent super architecture FMEs – the hybrid platform was officially unveiled. The platform created two hybrid engines, 20TD and 15TD, with thermal efficiency of 44.3% and 45.2% respectively, solving the industry problem of balancing "cleaner" and "stronger".

In the era of "architected car building" and "software-defined car", FAW has released "one major architecture and three major platforms" in half a year, fully promoting "All in" new energy, which is rare in the industry.

The first Jiefang brand car, V12 engine, hydrogen engine, DCT400 transmission, high safety and low temperature battery system… From the engine, gearbox, to the motor, electronic control and other key core technologies, FAW continues to learn humbly, insist on innovation, and scale the peak of technology.

Many FAW technical experts interviewed said that the automotive industry is a highly competitive industry, and if you don’t advance, you will retreat. In recent years, FAW has learned to benchmark against world-class standards and continuously promoted technological research and development innovation. In the past three years, FAW has broken through 494 key core technologies such as high-efficiency high-speed electric drive, intelligent wire-controlled chassis, and L3-level intelligent driving, and the "family background" of key core technologies has become increasingly solid.

The automobile industry is one of the most globalized industries, with strong driving ability upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. As a central enterprise and industrial leader, FAW has driven the development of a large number of excellent parts enterprises such as Fuyao Glass and Wanxiang Group.

Faced with the new situation, FAW has also taken on the responsibility of "chain length" of the national new energy vehicle industry chain, integrating innovative forces from all parties to break through the "stuck neck" problems such as chips and operating systems. By taking the lead in establishing industry standards, interfaces, etc., "chain" innovation has driven upstream and downstream enterprises, and joined with domestic backbone enterprises to tackle core technologies. It has done a lot of verification for applications such as domestic chips, cryptographic algorithm systems, and vehicle operating systems, and has made substantial progress.

It’s not a good idea.Dedicated to reform, allowing R & D personnel to achieve "three has"

Hongqi prosperous factory, the workshop is spacious and bright, unmanned cars shuttle between them, flexible obstacle avoidance, automatic robotic arms "dancing and dancing", nervous and busy, workers operate attentively and methodically. In cyberspace, a digital twin factory is completely mapped with the real workshop, just tap the screen and you can see the running status. One by one, Hongqi new energy models with more advanced technology, updated design and full of international style are assembled and formed, and they come out one after another, rushing from Changchun to all directions.

The smart factory is the silhouette of FAW’s innovation and development. Behind the improvement of market recognition is a series of measures taken by the company to continuously promote the reform of the system and institutions to "strengthen the body".

In September 2017, FAW launched a "four-energy" reform – "cadres can go up and down, employees can come in and out, salaries can be high and low, and institutions can increase and reduce capacity". The whole group competed for recruitment, and senior managers competed for positions.

At that time, FAW and Dongfeng had a cadre training class at Tsinghua University. As soon as FAW’s cadres reported for duty, they received a notice to "all stand up". The next day, only Dongfeng’s people were left in the training class, and all FAW’s people immediately bought tickets to go back to Changchun to participate in the reform.

The reform has touched everyone a lot. Many senior managers have lost their positions due to the reform, and their salaries have also widened the gap, which has thoroughly stimulated everyone’s enthusiasm for entrepreneurship.

FAW broke the tradition of eating "big pot rice", and its R & D investment has increased by an average of 8.6% annually in the past three years. It has implemented methods such as "revealing the list and being in command" and "task contracting", so that R & D personnel have status, platforms, and treatment. A large number of young R & D backbones and craftsmen from big countries have emerged.

At the just-concluded Changchun Auto Expo, the FAW Hongqi brand exhibited 12 products including Hongqi H6, the new Hongqi H5, Xinhongqi HS3, Xinhongqi HS5, Hongqi E-HS9, and Hongqi LS7. At present, the market share of Hongqi brand models has exceeded 1 million, and the annual sales volume exceeds 300,000 vehicles. It is moving towards the scale of 500,000 vehicles sold annually.

Looking back, the road to marketization of Hongqi was not smooth sailing. In order to make this national brand bigger and stronger, in 2017, FAW decided that the headquarters would be directly responsible for the Hongqi brand, and the FAW Group headquarters would directly operate the Hongqi brand. The chairperson, general manager and other executives became the "spokespersons" of the Hongqi brand. The compensation packages of various departments of the headquarters were deeply "bound" to the operation of Hongqi, and changed from strategic control to direct service to users and the market. FAW poured the core talents and resources of the whole group into the Hongqi brand, and strived to create a new road to develop its own brand.

In response to the pain points of few sales and service outlets, FAW built a nationwide Hongqi Experience Center in a short period of time, and launched services such as lifetime free warranty. In addition, Hongqi Marketing also carried out market-oriented reform exploration, inviting a group of young representatives in the fields of culture, art, sports and other fields to serve as Hongqi brand perception ambassadors.

The market is the final examiner. FAW has established an integrated operation mechanism for R & D, supply and marketing, and deployed R & D forces in new businesses such as new energy, intelligent networking, and styling design. It has established a profit connection mechanism with manufacturing and marketing. If the products sell well, the whole chain will benefit. FAW Group leaders only need to open the mobile app to view the R & D progress, consumer feedback problem handling, exhibition drainage, etc. in real time, eliminating the complicated reporting process and forcing everyone to respond to market concerns as quickly as possible.

FAW is also trying to accelerate its overseas market layout. Recently, FAW and Israeli partners held the launch ceremony of Hongqi’s flagship model E-HS9 in Tel Aviv, marking the official launch of Hongqi Automobile in the Israeli market. At present, FAW’s overseas business has covered more than 50 countries and regions along the "Belt and Road Initiative". It has also set up research and development centers in Munich and other places.

At present, the global automobile industry is accelerating a new round of reform, and the wave of electrification and intelligent transformation is surging. China’s automobile industry is accelerating its approach to the center of the world stage and striving to seize the commanding heights of the new round of global automobile industry development. FAW will make good use of both domestic and international markets and resources, accelerate the expansion of overseas high-end automobile markets, continue to improve the layout of the global automobile industry chain, and strive to polish the Chinese business card of the world automobile stage.
