It is said that GAC Toyota will withdraw from the price war. Insiders: The official has never said that


According to China Business News, there have been recent reports that GAC Toyota will follow the strategy of luxury fuel brands such as BMW to withdraw from the price war.

Yicai.com asked a person related to GAC Toyota for confirmation on this matter, and the person replied, "The official has never said that it will withdraw from the price war. It was accidentally involved in the BMW incident. GAC Toyota models will still have preferential prices, but the preferential prices are tending to be stable."

In addition, the person also said that many employees were confused when they saw the information circulating online that the company had withdrawn from the price war.

The report pointed out that many GAC Toyota dealers in South China have stepped up their promotion efforts. Many GAC Toyota dealers told reporters that every late month, dealer stores will have "promotional sales" activities. From January to July this year, GAC Toyota has had large-scale promotion activities for many models.

According to the June production and sales report of GAC Group, GAC Toyota's cumulative sales from January to June this year reached 336,000 vehicles, a year-on-year decrease of 25.80%. According to the annual sales target of 900,000 vehicles, GAC Toyota achieved 37.3% of the annual sales target in the first half of this year, and the possibility of achieving the annual target is low.

Last month, Nezha Auto opened its first flagship store in Africa in Nabiro, the capital of Kenya. This is not only Nezha Auto's first store in Africa, but also the first store of a new car manufacturer in the right-hand drive market in Africa.

It is said that WPS uses user documents for AI training, but the official denies it


Recently, some netizens posted on social platforms, saying that WPS revised their articles and fed them to AI. Some netizens also said that the content of their unpublished novels was fed to Douyin Doubao AI by WPS.

On July 21, WPS officially responded to the incident, saying, "We conducted a strict investigation and communicated with users as soon as possible, and the relevant issues were completely untrue."

WPS stated that WPS AI is positioned as an application party for large language model technology services, and all user documents will not be used for any AI training purposes, nor will they be used in any scenarios without the user's consent.

At the same time, WPS promised in the statement that all user documents will not be used by any third party for AI training. Regarding the specific issues reported by users, WPS AI and Doubao have not yet carried out any form of cooperation at the AI ​​level, and there is no situation where documents are used for AI training.

BMW 4S stores in many places refused to deliver cars and temporarily asked consumers to increase the price


According to Blue Whale News, after BMW withdrew from the price war, 4S stores in many parts of the country began to refuse to deliver cars on a large scale.

A consumer revealed to the Blue Whale reporter that the BMW car he had previously ordered was refused delivery by the 4S store, and the salesperson temporarily demanded a price increase in order to pick up the car.

Based on the information disclosed by consumers, BMW 4S stores in many places across the country have refused to deliver cars on a large scale. The car models are mainly concentrated in the i3, ix3 and 3 Series. Most consumers ordered the car in late May and June, and most of them were asked to temporarily increase the price by 30,000 yuan when they picked up the car in July.

The reasons why 4S stores refuse to deliver vary. For some consumers who have signed contracts and paid deposits, the stores responded that the car has been discontinued or production has been reduced. For those consumers who have only paid deposits but not signed contracts, the stores responded with reasons such as "the headquarters did not approve it".

The national passenger car market inventory at the end of June increased by 150,000 units compared with the previous month


According to a post on the personal WeChat public account of Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the China Passenger Car Association, under the influence of combined factors such as the wait-and-see sentiment brought about by the expected stimulus policy and the promotion war that further fueled the wait-and-see sentiment, manufacturers this year have significantly reduced production to cope with the sluggish market. The new energy trend in June was good, but at the end of June 2024, the national passenger car inventory was 3.44 million units, an increase of 150,000 units from the previous month, and the manufacturer inventory accounted for 25.5%.

He also said that due to the relatively slow market recovery after the price cuts during the Spring Festival this year, the competition pressure in the fuel vehicle market is relatively high. At the end of June, the total manufacturer inventory of 3.44 million units supported future sales for 56 days, compared with 54 days in June last year, and the structural pressure is not small.

China's five-game winning streak at IMO ended, and the team ranked second


Yesterday, the results of the 65th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) were announced. After 609 contestants from 108 countries competed for two days, about 4.5 hours a day, a total of 54 gold medals, 121 silver medals, 145 bronze medals and 170 honorary nominations were produced.

In this competition, 6 Chinese athletes won 5 gold medals and 1 silver medal, with a total score of 190 points, and ranked second in the team, behind the US team. In previous IMO competitions, the Chinese team has won 24 first places, and in the past five consecutive years, the Chinese team has won the team championship.

However, in this competition, the fourth Chinese player to achieve full marks in both IMOs appeared, following Luo Wei, Fu Yunhao and Wei Dongyi. He was from Zhejiang Province and won the gold medal with the highest individual score. He was also the only player to achieve full marks in the competition.

Zhou Hongyi talks about why Microsoft blue screen failures are rare in China: Most domestic companies use 360 ​​antivirus software


Last Friday, a large number of Windows devices around the world experienced a "blue screen" crash when starting up. According to reports, this affected a large number of banks, airlines, TV broadcasters, supermarkets and other companies around the world. Domestic companies were also affected, and topics related to "Microsoft blue screen" topped the Weibo hot search.

Subsequently, cybersecurity software company CrowdStrike issued a statement saying that the company had received reports of a large number of Windows blue screens and had determined that the problem was related to a faulty update. The company has now resumed the update.

On July 20, 360 founder Zhou Hongyi expressed his views on the matter. The CrowdStrike software error and conflict with Microsoft caused the blue screen and caused problems for many infrastructures around the world. Why did it basically not happen in China?

He believes that this is because 90% of Chinese computers use 360 ​​Antivirus and 360 Security Guard as their antivirus software, which gives us a big advantage. He claims that the Microsoft global blue screen incident has also sounded the alarm for us. We must take control of our country's computer network security, and the computer antivirus software must be a domestic brand.

In addition, according to Jiemian News, Jen Easterly, director of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), commented on the global large-scale IT failure on July 20, local time, saying that this was a major incident that seriously affected the operation of global critical infrastructure. Although it was not malicious, it was a serious mistake.

She said any company designing, testing and delivering any type of software should prioritize drastically reducing the number of defects — which could be exploited intentionally by bad actors or accidentally bring down critical global services.
