In an interview with Le Parisien, French coach Deschamps said that it was Benzema’s own decision to quit FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. Benzema then responded to Deschamps’ "I really dare to say (panic)" in social media. On Saturday, Benzema was not selected for the Real Madrid game due to injury and stayed in the gym to recover alone. He wrote in social media: "We don’t have much choice." With a picture of pretending to cry, it seems to mean something. On another platform, Benzema hinted again that he would personally tell the story of his withdrawal from the World Cup. He wrote: "I will explain myself to people." Next, the French team’s melon is worth looking forward to.

This event is one of the few youth football events in Nanning since the epidemic. Yesterday morning, after a brief opening ceremony, five teams fought each other and competed in a single round robin system. It is worth mentioning that the competition is not divided by gender, and two women’s teams, Nanning Sports School and Nanning No.17 Middle School, also participated in it, competing with the other three men’s teams and putting on a drama. In the competition, the 11-a-side standard football field gave the athletes room to run. Sprint and grab, break through with the ball and go straight to Huanglong … There are wonderful confrontations on the field from time to time.

China is making use of the innovation potential of the Internet, big data and artificial intelligence, and will become a superpower in the field of innovation, and has made some outstanding achievements. China hopes to be a world leader in the field of artificial intelligence by 2030, and hopes to become a "major artificial intelligence innovation center in the world".

For example, according to the China Internet Development Report 2019, the independent innovation capability of network information technology in China has been continuously enhanced, and the prototype model of a new generation of billions of supercomputers has been developed. Before that, six supercomputers in China have been combined, and the world’s first national supercomputing Internet was born. In addition, using artificial intelligence, space supercomputers will be built in the future.

For another example, now, China people have mastered the world’s top super technologies, such as high-speed rail, large aircraft, aircraft carrier, exploitation of combustible ice, development technology of rare earth super heavy oil in oil, discovery of dry-hot rock mass, quantum remote communication and space technology.

China’s economy is moving from tradition to emerging.

For example, China’s "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan" has drawn a grand route to build a $150 billion artificial intelligence industry by 2030. Moreover, some giant companies in China are also guiding billions of dollars to invest in domestic basic scientific research or acquire innovative technologies from abroad, and China’s innovative ability in the field of supercomputing has also been widely concerned and praised by the international industry.

According to the latest issue of the list of the top 500 supercomputers in the world released by the 34th International Supercomputing Conference, as of June 2019, the number of supercomputers in China continued to rank first, reaching 219, while the United States and Japan ranked second (116) and third (29), followed by France (18), Germany (16) and the Netherlands (15). All other countries are expressed in single digits. As the most authoritative supercomputer list in the world, TOP500 is jointly compiled by computer experts from the United States and Germany and published every six months. The number of supercomputers in China has surpassed that in the United States since 2016, and it has been leading ever since.

Up to now, six national supercomputing centers have been built in China, including Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Wuxi, Tianjin, Jinan and Changsha. At present, six supercomputing brains in China have been combined, and the world’s first supercomputing artifact, the supercomputing Internet, has been illuminated to form a "super team" to enhance the core competitiveness of China’s supercomputing field.

Twenty years ago, there was not a single machine in China among the top 500 supercomputers in the world, which also means that supercomputing has become a national heavyweight and the focus of competition among countries, because supercomputing can meet the huge computing needs in scientific research, geological exploration, weather forecast, computational simulation, biopharmaceuticals, gene sequencing, aerospace, image processing and other fields.

For example, at present, the virus is ravaging some cities in China. At this time, scientific research experts need a lot of computing resources to screen drugs against novel coronavirus and predict the mutation of the virus. According to media reports, at present, some supercomputing centers in China are making efforts to help China CDC develop novel coronavirus vaccine, and researchers are using the supercomputing center in China to carry out research work such as target search, new drug screening, lead and test optimization, pharmacology and toxicology.

In fact, in the current global economic environment, manufacturing and mastering the most powerful supercomputers is considered as one of the important standards to measure a country’s scientific and technological strength, because countries and enterprises increasingly need to widely use supercomputers in many fields, such as machinery, new materials, biological environment and energy technology.

According to the analysis of Jeremy Rifkin, the author of the Third Industrial Revolution, the new global economic wave is a new consumption economy driven by new technologies, and it is necessary to achieve a breakthrough in economic growth through economic changes driven by new energy, new technologies, new communications and new transportation and logistics technologies. Rifkin believes that in this wave, China has taken the lead in the field of innovative science and technology economy. (End)

Wang Xing, the founder of Meituan, plans to vote for another brother.

On March 8, Wang Xing released a circle of friends and revealed that individuals will participate in the A-round investment of Wang Huiwen’s startup company "light years away" and serve as directors.

Wang Huiwen and Wang Xing were bunk school classmates when they were studying in Tsinghua University. Together, they founded the intranet and Meituan, and Wang Huiwen officially retired from Meituan at the end of 2020. Since then, the venture capital circle and the technology circle have been paying attention to when Wang Huiwen will come back to start a business. Until ChatGPT detonated AI, Wang Huiwen finally found a new direction.

In February this year, Wang Huiwen announced the establishment of Beijing Lightyear Beyond Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Lightyear Beyond"), and said on the social platform that "China OpenAI should be built". Regarding the old classmate’s decision, Wang Xing bluntly said, "Lao Wang and I have been on the road to entrepreneurship for nearly 20 years. Since he is determined to embrace this big wave, I must support it."

According to the radar finance, Internet tycoons are used to the road of "innovating and investing", and Wang Xing is no exception. Investment has long been a trump card for him.

From 2014, Meituan began to invest abroad. After Meituan’s comment industry fund was renamed as Dragon Ball Investment in 2017, a "troika" of Meituan’s war investment, Dragon Ball Capital and Wang Xing’s personal investment was formed, and the investment style of Meituan also showed a trend of moving closer from the early consumer category to "hard technology".

"two kings" join hands to start a new business

The entrepreneurial story about the "two kings" of the US Mission is widely circulated in the Internet circle.

As early as 1997, Wang Xing was sent to Tsinghua University from Longyan No.1 Middle School in Fujian, and Wang Huiwen slept in Wang Xing’s lower berth in the dormitory. During his classmates, he forged a deep friendship, and Shine Wong Wen became what Wang Xing called "Lao Wang".

They majored in electronic engineering, that is, hardware, but in their second year of college, they bought a computer together and started playing games. Wang Huiwen once told Wang Xing that the current game is not good enough. It is better to learn programming to play games, and the seeds of entrepreneurship are planted.

After graduating from Tsinghua University, Wang Huiwen was sent to the Chinese Academy of Sciences for postgraduate study, but the idea of starting a business remained. The SARS in 2003 changed the fate of many people. It was also at this time that Wang Xing made a choice, decided to suspend his studies in the United States and return to China to start a business, and joined Wang Huiwen and Lai Binqiang, a middle school classmate.

After the first two entrepreneurial projects died, inspired by Facebook, their intranet (later "Renren") was officially launched at the end of 2005, and it gained millions of users in the following year.

With the rapid growth of the campus network, the team needed money to increase the server and bandwidth. At that time, Sequoia Capital wanted to invest, but because Wang Xing had not figured out how to make a profit on the campus network, Sequoia turned to invest in Zhanzuo.

Later, in 2006, the intranet was acquired by Thousand Oaks Interactive in Chen Yizhou for 2 million dollars, and it was renamed Renren in 2009 and successfully listed in 2011.

After selling the company and successfully cashing out, the "two kings" separated briefly. Wang Huiwen traveled around the world for a year, while Wang Xing set up a Twitter-like Fanfan website in May 2007.

In the first half of 2009, Fanfan.com had millions of registered users. However, due to an accident, all servers were forced to shut down. When I returned more than 500 days later, the same type of Weibo rose in China, but the rice declined.

After several entrepreneurial failures, Wang Xing saw the opportunity to buy a track, and Meituan.com was born in March 2010. At that time, the development of Wang Huiwen’s Taofang.com was not satisfactory. In October of that year, at the invitation of Wang Xing, Wang Huiwen officially joined the US delegation, and the "two kings" once again joined hands to start a business.

Wang Huiwen was considered to have played a vital role in the later "Thousand Regiments War" of Meituan, as well as in the important development nodes such as cutting into the take-away business, entering local life and rushing to the beach to get a car, and was dubbed by the media as the "second person" of Meituan after CEO Wang Xing.

In December 2020, Wang Huiwen, who was only 42 years old, wrote a farewell message, "Ten years, I need a rest, and the next decade will be entrusted to my brothers, thank you."

After retirement, from the content published by his personal social platform, Wang Huiwen is concerned about Crypto (cryptocurrency) and web3-related content. The reappearance in the public eye is related to ChatGPT.

On February 10 this year, Wang Huiwen released the "Declaration on Artificial Intelligence" in the circle of friends, saying that "50 million US dollars, with capital to join the group, regardless of post, salary and tittle, seeking a team."

Two days later, he added the details of his AI venture, and set up Beijing Lightyear Technology Co., Ltd., with a capital contribution of 50 million US dollars and a valuation of 200 million US dollars. 75% of the shares were all used to invite top R&D talents, and said that the top VC had subscribed for 230 million US dollars in the next round of financing.

Sky-Eye Survey shows that Beijing Lightyear Beyond Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2018 with a registered capital of 1 million yuan, and Wang Huiwen holds 100% of the shares.

Although there is no lack of voices to pour cold water on, and that $50 million is not enough for several large-scale model trainings, Wang Xing chose to stand on the side of good brothers.

"Lao Wang and I have been on the road to entrepreneurship for nearly 20 years. Since he is determined to embrace this big wave, I must support it. I personally will participate in the A-round investment of Pharaoh’s startup company’ light years away’ and serve as a director. " On the afternoon of March 8, Wang Xing released a circle of friends.

Wang Xing also said that the AI ? ? big model made him both excited about the huge productivity to be created and worried about its future impact on the whole world.

It is understood that apart from Wang Huiwen, there are also Yan Li, a former AI core figure in Aauto Quicker, Zhou Bowen, a former technical director in JD.COM, and Wang Xiaochuan, a former Sogou CEO, who are interested in building China OpenAI.

Wang Xing’s Secret Investment Empire

As an Internet veteran, supporting Wang Huiwen’s entrepreneurship is just the latest example of Wang Xing’s many investment cases.

However, just like investing in light years, most of the projects that Wang Xing personally participated in were innovative when they were founded, and the entrepreneurs themselves were also friends of Wang Xing. Therefore, Wang Xing’s personal investment is often evaluated by the outside world as containing more human feelings.

In July 2014, Wang Xing suddenly invested in the Angel Wheel of Internet brokerage Tiger Securities. At that time, the domestic internet brokers were still in their infancy, and the prospects were not clear. The financial business of Meituan itself had not been fully rolled out, and Wang Xing’s investment once puzzled the outside world.

But in fact, Wu Tianhua, the founder of Tiger Securities, is Wang Xing’s younger brother in Tsinghua. After two people talked on the phone for about an hour, Wang Xing decided to invest in Tiger Securities.

Since then, Wang Xing has invested in projects such as Water Drop Mutual Assistance and mobike. In 2016, Shen Peng, the "No.10 employee" of Meituan, left his job and founded "Water Drop Chip". Before the launch, Water Drop Mutual Assistance received 50 million yuan in financing, among which Meituan Review was an important investor.

In October 2016, mobike completed the C+ round of financing of nearly US$ 100 million. In addition to institutions such as Gaoyou and Sequoia, the investor Wang Xing participated in the investment in his own name. Two years later, Meituan collected mobike for $2.7 billion, then fully accessed Meituan and renamed Meituan Bicycle.

In September 2017, Wang Xing and Wang Huiwen invested in the convenience of unmanned shelves in their own names. Their founder Si Jianghua served as the general manager of the culture and entertainment division of Meituan Store. Later, the former public comment COO and the president of Meituan’s comprehensive business group Lu Guangyu also joined the company.

In the same year, Lai Binqiang, who worked hard with Wang Xing, also left to start a business. When the name of an "online learning" project he did was not announced, he got the seed investment of Wang Xing and Wang Huiwen.

Wang Xing’s biggest bet is the investment in LI. It is reported that when LI was at a loss for financing in 2019, the ideal founder Li wanted to go to Wang Xing.

Wang Xing, who has already done his homework, is optimistic about the potential of electric vehicles and agrees with Li Xiang. "I think many people also underestimate the founder Li Xiang, and he will become a top entrepreneur in China in the future."

To this end, Wang Xing chose to mortgage his shares in Meituan to Goldman Sachs, and borrowed 285 million US dollars, plus 15 million US dollars from Longzhu Capital, a subsidiary of Meituan, and invested a total of 300 million US dollars in the ideal.

After additional investment in the later period, in just one year, Wang Xing and related parties of Meituan have invested more than $1.1 billion in Li Xiang. According to the financial report of Meituan in the third quarter of 2020, the return on investment brought by Meituan’s investment in LI is as high as 5.8 billion yuan.

According to media statistics, in addition to the above cases, Wang Xing’s personal investment projects include e-generation, Qingping Technology, Maibu Technology and flight steward.

The data shows that there are currently 121 affiliated enterprises and 39 foreign-invested enterprises under Wang Xing’s name, of which 34 are still in existence; Through direct or indirect shareholding, Wang Xing has actual control over 90 enterprises.

Meituan investment turns to "hard technology"

Under the internet tradition of "creating the best and investing", Meituan has become a force that cannot be ignored in the venture capital circle.

Statistics show that since 2014, Meituan has made frequent efforts in the investment field, with a total investment of about 100 projects. Only in the early stage, Meituan Zhantou closely followed the local life format and made strategic supplement through investment.

The merger of public comments in 2015 became an important starting point for the expansion of the US Mission. According to the statistics of billion euros, before the merger, Meituan Zhantou only completed six investments, involving five fields, including local life, corporate services and e-commerce.

After the merger, Meituan has invested 38 times in five years, the largest proportion is still local life (catering, beauty industry, wedding), followed by e-commerce, corporate services and tourism.

At present, as an investment institution, Meituan is mainly composed of Dragon Ball Capital, Meituan War Investment and Wang Xing’s personal investment.

Among them, Longzhu Capital was established in February 2017, formerly known as Meituan Review Industry Fund, with Chen Shaohui, senior vice president of Meituan, as CEO, and the funders including Meituan Review, Tencent Investment and New Hope Group.

As an independent investment institution, Longzhu Capital focuses on the field of large consumption, and is known as the "online celebrity Harvester in Investment Circle". The famous projects it has invested in include Xicha, Guming Milk Tea, Mannner Coffee and Happiness Cake.

It is worth noting that in recent years, the investment style of Meituan has quietly changed, expanding from the field of life service to the fields of automobile transportation, intelligent manufacturing and artificial intelligence. Starting from investing in LI, Meituan began to make frequent bets on the smart car industry chain.

In February, 2021, Meituan participated in the Pre-A round of investment of Haomo Zhixing, an autonomous driving company hatched by Great Wall Motor. Subsequently, Meituan also invested in laser radar manufacturer Wo Sai Technology, light boat Zhihang focusing on L4 unmanned minibuses, and self-driving truck enterprise Win Che Technology.

In 2022, Meituan and its related parties laid out projects in the fields of science and technology, such as future robots, Xinwangda EVB, AI vision chip research and development platform Aixin Yuanzhi, and Ling Mingguang, a single-photon sensor chip developer.

Some people in the investment community pointed out that the reversal of Meituan’s investment logic, on the one hand, shows that the growth dividend of Internet users is over, and it is difficult to have exponential growth again; On the other hand, it is also related to the core strategic transformation of Meituan to some extent.

In September 2021, Meituan upgraded its strategy from "Food+ Platform" to "retail+technology", hoping to use advanced technology to open a new breakthrough and seek new development.

This concept is reflected in the investment style. The left hand harvests online celebrity consumer brands, and the right hand grasps the underlying technology in the field of science and technology, which has become the underlying logic of Meituan’s investment in recent years.

Wang Xing once revealed his unique understanding of investment, saying that Sequoia’s investment principle is "betting on the track, not betting on the racers", but he prefers Sun Tzu’s statement that "seeking the situation and not blaming others". Combined with this homeopathic thinking, we may be able to better understand the investment behavior of "Meituan Department".

After the Red Devils Manchester United’s Double Red Club defeated Liverpool by seven goals, they basically announced that they had withdrawn from the league title race, and the defending champion Manchester City became the only team that could threaten the leader Arsenal. This week, the 27th round of the Premier League started in an all-round way, and the Blue Moon Corps went to the away game to challenge the Crystal Palace. Although the latter was only in the middle and lower reaches of the standings, its strength should not be underestimated. Last season, it achieved an unbeaten record of 1 win and 1 draw against Manchester City at home and away. In order to continue to put pressure on Arsenal, Guardiola and his disciples.After the game started, the Blue Moon Army, which fought away from home, completely took over the game, and the offensive end created many chances to score, while the defensive end completely locked the Crystal Palace. However, the striker’s ability to seize the opportunity was not strong, which made Paris unable to break the deadlock until the last moment of the second half, when Harland scored the only goal in the whole game, helping Manchester City win the Crystal Palace 1-0!

After Guardiola became the head coach of Manchester City, he gradually built them into Barcelona in the Premier League. The super-high ball control rate and high-position grabbing became the most distinctive signs on their field. In the face of the Crystal Palace, the players of the Blue Moon Corps relied on continuous conduction balls, which made the players of the Crystal Palace unable to touch the ball for a long time, and the defensive end ran wildly without the ball, which also greatly consumed the physical strength of the crystal palace players. This is also the reason why the home team became more and more passive on the field with the deepening of the game.

In the whole game, Manchester City has the advantage of crushing opponents at both ends of attack and defense. With the ball possession rate reaching 68%, it created 14 chances to shoot, but the striker’s state was not very good and he wasted many excellent chances to score goals. However, there were still 4 shots that hit the target, and although Crystal Palace had 4 shots throughout the game, none of them hit the target.Before facing Villa and Crystal Palace, Crystal Palace didn’t shoot at the target, which made them the first team in the Premier League to shoot zero in three consecutive games since the statistics were available.

Guardiola still let Harland be the single arrow in this game, but the Norwegian Magic Man didn’t enter the state of "cannibalism". Although in the 76th minute, he used the penalty opportunity made by Gundogan to break the goal of Crystal Palace in one fell swoop, but he also wasted two opportunities to score goals. In the 28th minute, Ake swept in front of the door in the restricted area, and Harland, who was flanked by the middle, grabbed the shot and directly fired the anti-aircraft gun. At the last moment of the game, Grali left 45.

In addition to Harland, Alvarez, who came off the bench, also wasted an excellent opportunity to score goals on the court. In the 60th minute, Grali instigated the attack. After receiving the pass from his teammates, Alvarez turned around and entered the penalty area. Unfortunately, the final shot was not suppressed, and the goal passed by, and the state and performance of the World Cup declined significantly.

After winning this game, Manchester City narrowed the gap with the leader Arsenal to 2 points in the case of one more game. The gunners’ opponent this round is Fulham. Whether the latter can get points from Arsenal and help the Blue Moon Corps, let us wait and see.

Match of the Day will be broadcast without presenters, pundits or its usual commentators this weekend, after the main host, Gary Lineker, was suspended from the BBC for breaching impartiality guidelines after criticising the government’s asylum policies.

In a dramatic and unexpected escalation of a crisis that has been brewing all week, the corporation took the decision to remove its highest-paid presenter from its flagship football show after he was criticised by Tory MPs and the rightwing media.

His suspension immediately led to displays of solidarity from Lineker’s co-hosts Ian Wright and Alan Shearer, who publicly announced that they would not be turning up to present Saturday’s show.

Faced with an effective strike by its on-screen staff and unable to find willing replacements, the BBC took the unprecedented decision to announce that the Premier League highlights programme would go ahead without any hosts or studio presentation. It will feature only match footage.

A BBC spokesperson said: “Some of our pundits have said that they don’t wish to appear on the programme while we seek to resolve the situation with Gary.

“We understand their position and we have decided that the programme will focus on match action without studio presentation or punditry.”

Late on Friday, commentator Steve Wilson tweeted that the show’s commentary team had decided to pull out of the programme. “As commentators on MOTD, we have decided to step down from tomorrow night’s broadcast,” he said. “We are comforted that football fans who want to watch their teams should still be able to do so, as management can use World Feed commentary if they wish.”

The BBC has the option to use the Premier League’s world feed service.

Ministers put the BBC under pressure after Lineker posted tweets this week criticising Rishi Sunak’s new asylum policy. He likened the language used by ministers about asylum seekers to “that used by Germany in the 30s”, a comparison labelled “offensive” by the home secretary, Suella Braverman.

A BBC spokesperson said Lineker would be off air until an agreement was reached on his future use of social media. If Lineker, who has two years left on his contract to present Match of the Day, refuses to back down, then it opens up the possibility of him leaving the corporation.

Lineker was taken off air on Friday afternoon despite making it clear that he wanted to host this weekend’s edition of the programme.

A BBC spokesperson said: “The BBC has been in extensive discussions with Gary and his team in recent days. We have said that we consider his recent social media activity to be a breach of our guidelines. The BBC has decided that he will step back from presenting Match of the Day until we’ve got an agreed and clear position on his use of social media.

“When it comes to leading our football and sports coverage, Gary is second to none. We have never said that Gary should be an opinion-free zone, or that he can’t have a view on issues that matter to him, but we have said that he should keep well away from taking sides on party political issues or political controversies.”

The Channel 5 News presenter Dan Walker was live on air while exchanging text messages with Lineker. According to Walker, Lineker emphasised that it was the BBC’s decision to take him off screen, saying: “They’ve told me I’ve had to step back.”

Wright, the former England footballer and a regular co-presenter, swiftly said he would not be working on this Saturday’s Match of the Day as a result of Lineker’s suspension. “Everybody knows what Match of the Day means to me, but I’ve told the BBC I won’t be doing it tomorrow. Solidarity,” he tweeted.

Shearer, who had also been booked to appear on Saturday’s show, confirmed that he would not turn up to work – leaving the BBC without any mainstream presenters for one of its best-known programmes.

Regular pundit and former Manchester City defender Micah Richards backed the decision of Wright and Shearer, tweeting: “I was not due to be working on MOTD tomorrow, but if I was, I would find myself taking the same decision that @IanWright0 & @alanshearer have.”

BBC presenter Jermaine Jenas also said he was standing “with his fellow pundits and Gary Lineker”. He tweeted: “Been on air with The One Show. I wasn’t down to be doing Match of the Day tomorrow, but if I was, I would of said no and stood with my fellow pundits and @GaryLineker.”

The presenter and former Arsenal and England player Alex Scott also appeared to rule herself out of presenting Saturday’s edition of Match of the Day amid speculation that she might take over. Scott tweeted a picture of US politician Bernie Sanders saying, “Nah! Not me” alongside the caption: “FYI …”

Mark Chapman also reportedly ruled himself out.

While suspending Lineker for breaching impartiality guidelines, the BBC chair, Richard Sharp, has faced calls to quit in recent weeks. It was recently revealed that Sharp, a previous Tory donor, had made the introductions between Boris Johnson and one of the former prime minister’s distant cousins, who became a guarantor for a substantial loan. Sharp later claimed that he had acted “in good faith” as a “go-between”. Labour said his position was “increasingly untenable”.

The journalist Jon Sopel, who has held several senior positions at the BBC, said: “Lucky there are no producer guidelines on whether you need to declare facilitating an £800k loan to a prime minister while applying for a job as chairman of a broadcasting organisation.”

The former Manchester United and England defender Gary Neville, a commentator for Sky Sports, said the decision was what happened when “you take on the Tories and the system”.

Philippa Childs, head of the entertainment trade union Bectu which represents thousands of BBC workers, said the broadcaster’s decision was “deeply concerning”. “It will give the appearance that they have bowed to political pressure from ministers to take someone off air for disagreeing with the policies of the current government,” she said.

“Taken with the ongoing controversy over the appointment of the BBC chairman, who has a much more important role in upholding the reputation of the BBC, and who has not stepped back while under investigation, it also risks giving the impression of double standards on these issues.”

Lineker’s comments dominated coverage of the government’s new asylum policy and were publicly criticised by a number of cabinet ministers. BBC sources suggested his decision to double down on the comments in further tweets, fanning the story, exasperated senior BBC management.

One issue for the BBC is whether Lineker would be happy to walk away from presenting Match of the Day, given that he has extensive business interests outside the corporation and has shown no indication that he will retract his comments.
