　　In 2001, the American Asian Business Association selected him as the "Business Leader of the Year" in 2001;

　　In May 2002, he became the cover of Nikkei, Japan’s largest financial magazine. Nikkei magazine spoke highly of Alibaba’s contribution to Sino-Japanese trade.

　　On October 31, 2008, Alibaba Co., Ltd. and Hangzhou Normal University jointly established Alibaba Business School of Hangzhou Normal University, and served as a director.

　　China’s "Father of the Internet"

　　In a sense, the entrepreneurial history of entrepreneur Jack Ma is also the development history of China Internet.

　　In April, 1995, Ma Yun, who had just turned 30, devoted himself enthusiastically to the rising Internet wave and founded the first real commercial website in China-China Yellow Pages. At that time, Yahoo, which was praised by the Internet industry as the "originator of mountains", was just founded less than a year ago; At that time, China mainland had not yet opened a dedicated internet access; At that time, Zhang Shuxin, who was famous in the industry because he founded the once-famous but short-lived "Yinghaiwei" company in the future, was rushing around the "yamen" in Beijing for government approval.

　　A few years later, when people re-studied the history of Internet development in China, Ma Yun, an entrepreneur who had experienced many vicissitudes, won the laurel that should have belonged to him-China, the "father of the Internet". Strangely enough, it is quite different from the attitude of Chinese people. In the west, most people call Jack ma (the English name of Jack Ma) China’s "Mr.Internet" ("the father of the Internet").

　　However, for Ma Yun, who has always been indifferent to fame and fortune and "doesn’t care about what others think of him, but only cares about how he sees the world", he doesn’t need to be happy or sad about whether he can "clear his name", because history has given him enough opportunities to prove it.

　　At the end of 1997, Jack Ma, forced to part ways with China Yellow Pages, formally joined the China International Electronic Commerce Center (EDI) under the invitation of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. During this period, enthusiastic Ma Yun led his team to develop a series of sites, such as "Online China Commodity Exchange Market", "Online China Technology Export Fair", "China Merchants", "Online Canton Fair" and "China Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation", which were visited by leaders of Li Lanqing, Wu Yi and other countries. Among them, "China Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation" was the first real government site among the major ministries and commissions in China, and "Online China Commodity Exchange Market" was even praised as "the never-ending Canton Fair" by Comrade Shi Guangsheng, then Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.

　　In 1999, in the tide of the times when the whole world was crazy about ".COM fever", under the mainstream internet pattern of Yahoo, eBay and Amazon, the "alternative" Ma Yun shouted the slogan of "only catching crayfish", held high the banner of "being the redeemer of small and medium-sized enterprises" and opened up a new field-B2B of small and medium-sized enterprises. Since then, after Yahoo, eBay and Amazon, a brand-new "fourth mode"-Alibaba mode has appeared on the world Internet map. Before entrepreneur Ma Yun, China enterprises and entrepreneurs who were accustomed to the total westernization and large-scale import of European and American economic models had never been so proud on the big stage of the new world economy as they are today.

　　Ma Yun was the first entrepreneur to develop e-commerce applications in China and stick to the Internet field. He and his team created many firsts in Internet commerce in China, determined to make the best site in the world for China people. He is the first entrepreneur in Chinese mainland to appear on the cover of Forbes, an authoritative international financial magazine. The famous World Economic Forum selected him as one of the top 100 "future leaders" in the world in 2001.

　　Alibaba, founded by Ma Yun, is praised by domestic and foreign media, Silicon Valley and foreign venture capitalists as one of the five representatives of Internet business schools on a par with Yahoo, Amazon, eBay and AOL. Its establishment promoted the establishment of commercial credit in China, and created unlimited opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises in the fierce international competition, "so that there is no hard business in the world".

　　Harvard University twice included his and Alibaba’s management practices as MBA cases. In the second MBA management case of Alibaba released in January 2002, Harvard quoted Ma Yun’s explanation of Alibaba’s core values. "Ma Yun believes that the value of Alibaba lies not in the number of views per day, but in whether it can bring value to customers." In order to show the recognition of Alibaba’s rapid development.

　　Alibaba was twice selected as one of the best B2B websites in the world by Forbes, an authoritative financial magazine in the United States, and was repeatedly rated as the most popular B2B website in the world, an excellent business website in China, a hundred excellent websites in China and the best trading network in China by relevant institutions. Since the establishment of Alibaba, more than 400 famous news media in more than a dozen languages around the world have never stopped reporting on Alibaba, which has been praised as a "real world-class brand" by the media.

　　Taobao, a personal auction website founded by Ma Yun, has successfully embarked on a unique road of localization in China, and has become the largest personal auction website in Asia since the first quarter of 2005.

　　When people talk about the development of Internet in China for more than ten years, they have to mention the entrepreneur Jack Ma, and it is impossible to avoid the existence of this "ghost". He is an unshirkable pioneer and "godfather", but also a subversive and "rebel" full of the spirit of change.

Overall market:In August, the overall sales volume of the VAN Department exceeded 25,000 vehicles, of which the mid-plane accounted for nearly 60% of the sales volume, with the largest growth rate. In the first eight months, the overall sales volume of VAN has completed 93% of last year’s sales volume, exceeding 160,000 vehicles.

Market structure:In August, the sales of SAIC-GM-Wuling, Long-range New Energy Commercial Vehicle and Changan Kaicheng VAN series vehicles were in the top three; From January to August, the sales volume of SAIC-GM-Wuling exceeded 29,000, and the sales volume of long-range new energy commercial vehicle VAN series exceeded 27,000.

Vehicle pattern:In August, the sales volume of, series was in the top two, accounting for 27.58% and 14.55% respectively. From January to August, Wuling Yangguang and Remote Star Enjoy V series both exceeded 23,000 vehicles, Ruichi EC75 exceeded 14,000 vehicles, and Kairui series exceeded 10,000 vehicles.

Market highlightsSince the beginning of this year, the sales of bright window models have been bright, and the market share has increased from 14% in January to 43% in August, which is crazy in the market!

Regional distribution:In August, the sales volume of VAN cars in Shenzhen was 2,443, and that in Guangzhou was 1,391. From January to August, the number of VAN vehicles in Shenzhen exceeded 19,000, that in Guangzhou exceeded 10,000, and that in Dongguan and Foshan exceeded 5,000.

VAN department’s overall market showed positive growth, with a year-on-year growth for six consecutive months.

Looking back this year, except for the year-on-year decline in February due to the influence of the Spring Festival holiday, the sales volume of VAN Department increased in different degrees year-on-year, and the year-on-year growth rate in August reached 34.48%, which was much higher than that of the card department in the same period.

However, it is worth noting that the year-on-year growth rate of the VAN Department has gradually narrowed since May. Tram resources believe that the reason is mainly related to the growth bottleneck encountered by VAN market segments.The penetration rate of new energy in the middle market, which occupies the largest share of the VAN market, has almost reached the ceiling.In recent months, the average permeability is 95%, and the market tends to be saturated, and the growth rate is weak, while the growth rate of micro and large areas is not strong, so it is difficult to offset this gap, which leads to such a situation.

Open-window models account for 43% in August, which may cause great changes in the pattern in the future.

Judging from this year’s data, the Ming-window models are really selling like crazy, and their sales volume has been rising continuously from May to August, even more so than the blind-window models, and the market share has increased from 14% in January to 43% in August. Ming-window models have sprung up in the market by virtue of their insurance advantages and the ability to stand on the shelf, which also makes the models with Ming-window versions more dominant, and relatively speaking, the sales increase is more obvious!

Judging from the specific models, in the VAN market in August, only five models, namely Wuling Yangguang, Remote Star V Series, Ruichi EC75, Kairui finless porpoise series and Chang ‘an, sold more than 1,000 vehicles. From the data point of view, the models with bright windows played a great role in their sales.

Among them:

In the sales volume of Wuling Yangguang, the bright window model accounts for 73.51%. It is worth mentioning that Wuling Yangguang has won the first place in the monthly sales volume of VAN series cars for five consecutive months this year.

In the sales volume of remote Star V series, the bright window model accounts for 45.39%;

In the sales volume of Chang ‘an Ruixing EM80, the bright window model accounts for 75.54%.

However, Ruichi EC75 and Kairui finless porpoise series are relatively disadvantaged in the competition because there is no open window version. However, according to the tram resources,Kairui finless porpoise series will be released soon.In the latest 387 new car announcements, Changan Kaicheng declared.Chang’ an ruixing EM60II’s open-window passenger version. In addition, according to industry sources,Liuzhou wuling New Energy will also release the bright window model soon..

Tram Resources predicts that the VAN market structure will change greatly next year: from January to August this year, the sales volume of SAIC-GM-Wuling exceeded 29,000 units, of which bright windows accounted for 46.58%, and the sales volume of long-range new energy commercial vehicles exceeded 27,000 units, with bright windows accounting for 20%. With the release of open-window models of other enterprises, the competition pattern of models should change greatly.

At present, the pattern of vehicle models is stable, but there may be great changes in the future.

In August, the VAN market was still dominated by the middle market, followed by the big and micro markets. According to the data of the previous August, the sales volume of medium-sized noodles has exceeded 97,000, that of large-sized noodles has exceeded 44,000, and that of micro-sized noodles has exceeded 23,000.

Specific to August:

In AugustZhongmian marketAmong them, SAIC-GM-Wuling, Remote New Energy Commercial Vehicle and Changan Kaicheng ranked in the top three, followed by Wuling Yangguang, Remote Star Enjoy V6E and Changan Ruixing EM80, with sales of 6,943, 3,091 and 1,304 respectively.

In AugustDamian marketAmong them, Ruichi Automobile, Long-range New Energy Commercial Vehicle and SAIC Chase ranked in the top three, followed by Ruichi EC75 and SAIC Chase, with sales of 1,717, 754 and 647 respectively.

In AugustMicroface marketAmong them, Changan Kaicheng, Xinyuan Automobile and Kairui New Energy ranked in the top three, followed by Changan, Xinyuan X30L EV and Kairui, with sales of 566, 557 and 339 respectively.

On the whole, the competition pattern of VAN market is relatively stable, which is mainly based on the middle surface, supplemented by the large surface and micro surface. However, in the VAN market, the middle surface has the highest permeability, followed by the large surface and then the micro surface, which shows that the pattern of the VAN market should change greatly in the future.

Does the big face have great potential in Shenzhen?

According to the data in August, the year-on-year growth rate of the large area is the largest, but it is still dominated by the middle area in the cities with sales volume of TOP5.Among them, only Shenzhen market occupies a dominant position. In August of this year, VAN models were mainly sold to Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Dongguan, Wuhan and Suzhou, among which the model with bright windows only accounted for 5.85% in Shenzhen market, while other cities had a high share. For example, the share of bright windows in Guangzhou is as high as 57.8%, the share of bright windows in Wuhan is also 55.95%, and the share of bright windows in Suzhou is close to 70%.

Tram resources believe that this is mainly due to the small proportion of open-window models in Shenzhen, while other areas mainly focus on open windows, and open windows are mainly in the middle. In view of this situation, Tram resources believe that this is actually beneficial to the Shenzhen market. Because the best-selling of Ming-window models is more of a "shortcut", the risks behind it can be imagined. If the time line is lengthened, the development of the open window model will inevitably have a further impact on insurance, and this model is likely to be rejected by insurance companies first.

Conclusion:Easy access to insurance and low premium are the key driving factors for the outbreak of Ming-window models. However, tram resources also remind all vehicle operators to strengthen the training of drivers’ awareness of safe driving, do a good job in monitoring the safe operation of vehicles, and prevent and control the occurrence of high accident rate from the root.

US President Biden began his campaign for the 2024 general election.

On January 5, local time, US President Biden began the first stop of his 2024 general election in Pennsylvania. Agence France-Presse said that Biden violently attacked former President Trump in the first campaign and compared it with the Nazis, saying that it posed a threat to American democracy.

Biden gave a speech in Pennsylvania on the 5th.

According to the report, the 81-year-old Democrat’s support rate at this stage of his term is the worst among modern presidents, and he either lags behind Trump or keeps pace with him in the polls. For months, Democrats have been calling on Biden’s campaign team to take action as people are increasingly worried about the US economy and Biden’s age.

Related reports:

The US media is worried that this year’s election will "repeat the same mistakes."

"One riot, two narratives." The Associated Press said on the 5th that as the United States entered the 2024 election year, both current President Biden and former President Trump used the riots on Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021 to issue political battle slogans to voters-according to the existing polls, they are most likely to become presidential candidates of both parties, and the confrontation in 2020 may be staged again. Today, three years ago, the scene of violence and chaos staged by the so-called "beacon of democracy" shocked the world. Now the country still seems to be deeply divided and hostile: threats against public officials are unprecedented; More than a dozen state capitol buildings have just experienced a "bomb threat", although it was a false alarm. The American Vox website says that the threat of violence has become a part of the American political system. Against this background, the American Institute of Foreign Affairs listed domestic terrorism and political violence as the biggest concern of the United States this year for the first time in its annual risk assessment report.

American think tanks list domestic terrorism and political violence as the primary risks.

On the 4th local time, the Institute of Foreign Affairs of the United States released the "Prevention Priority Survey in 2024", which assessed 30 ongoing conflicts and potential conflicts, and divided them into three levels according to the probability of occurrence and the degree of impact on American interests. Since the publication of this report 16 years ago, the American Institute of Foreign Affairs found for the first time that foreign policy experts are most worried about domestic terrorism and political violence caused by political polarization, "especially before and after the 2024 general election". This "conflict" is included in the first-level risk and marked as "high probability of occurrence and great impact". It is worth noting that the cover photo of this report features a group of extreme right-wingers, wearing face towels and holding the American flag, marching in Washington, D.C..

"Violent activities are quietly changing American politics and affecting the 2024 election." The Vox website in the United States recently published an article saying that the threat against public officials has risen to an "unprecedented" number throughout the United States, and as many as 83% of the respondents are worried about the risk of political violence in the United States. According to CNN, from 2021 to 2023, there were 9,600 cases, 7,500 cases and 7,300 cases of threats or "worrying remarks" directed against members of Congress (as of last November). Under Trump and Biden, 82 cases of threatening Republican officials and 80 cases of threatening Democrats faced federal charges. However, Republican members seem to be more vulnerable to attacks from both sides, and Trump supporters accuse some people of being "just nominal Republicans".

CNN said that the U.S. federal government has begun to consider what kind of situation it will face this year. Congressional Police Commissioner Manger said, "There are too many hatred and unkind remarks on social media and against elected officials." Several unexpected events in 2023 may be a harbinger, for example, the offices of two Republican congressmen received death threats in November. In the same month, the staff of several state election offices received suspicious letters.

According to Washington post, on January 3rd, the staff of parliament buildings in more than a dozen federal states received bomb threats, which led to the evacuation of some parliament buildings and disrupted government affairs. However, no explosives were found in the end, and the FBI quickly called these threats "pranks". Recently, a number of public officials have also received "false alarm" calls. A Georgia official believes that the purpose of this farce is to split Americans. "The perpetrators hope that the left will accuse the right wing and the right wing will accuse the left wing, further aggravating differences and normalizing potential violence."

Biden’s advertisement focuses on opposing "extremism"

Today marks the third anniversary of the riots on Capitol Hill. According to Agence France-Presse reported on the 5th, Biden’s first presidential campaign TV advertisement focused on opposing "extremism". "Everyone is asking, how can we maintain our democracy?" The 81-year-old democratic president said in the advertisement that something dangerous is happening in the United States, and "there has been an extremist movement that does not agree with our basic democratic beliefs." In the one-minute advertisement, Biden did not mention Trump’s name, but the picture repeatedly played the picture of the mob holding the slogan supporting Trump on January 6, 2021 and they erected the gallows in the Capitol. "The advertisement is a very real reminder that this election may determine the fate of American democracy." Biden campaign manager Rodriguez said in a statement.

According to the Associated Press, on the occasion of the 3rd anniversary of the riots on Capitol Hill, Trump will hold two campaign rallies in Iowa on the 6th, and Biden plans to visit nearby Fort Ji Gu, Pennsylvania the day before. Trump called January 6, 2021 "a beautiful day" and described those who were imprisoned for participating in the riots as "great patriots." Trump believes that the federal charges against him and the disqualification of the primary election in the presidential election party by Colorado and Maine show that Democrats are trying to weaken American values. Members of the Trump campaign team said that Biden and his allies posed a "real threat" to democracy.

Biden has repeatedly made a fuss about this topic. The Associated Press said that on January 6, 2022, he made a speech in the National Statue Hall of the Capitol, suggesting that Trump and his supporters "inserted a knife in the throat of the United States." On this day in 2023, Biden awarded 14 presidential medals in recognition of their work in protecting the Capitol during the riots.

"The ghost of January 6th haunted in 2024"

The Associated Press said that this debate about who is more harmful to the United States may reflect a deeper problem. "No matter what the reality is, when both sides say that the other is a threat to democracy, it is a sign that democracy is being weakened." Professor Daniel Ziblatt of Harvard University said.

"The ghost of January 6 haunted in 2024." The US "New Yorker" published an article on the 4th, saying that one of Biden’s challenges is to reawaken voters’ heartfelt anger over this riot. But there is a risk that Americans will realize that the general election in 2024 may be a repeat of the general election four years ago. The scene of Biden and Trump’s confrontation again emphasizes to people that the United States is still mired in division and hostility in that unpleasant year. Who really likes to see this situation? No country wants to enter a cycle of bad luck.

According to USA Today reported on the 5th, the poll data sent a warning signal for the situation after the 2024 general election. Trump’s supporters generally accept the former president’s allegations of fraud in the 2020 general election, and they are prepared to believe such allegations again in 2024, which laid the foundation for potential protests. If Trump loses the election, the situation may be even worse, and the country may repeat the same mistakes.
