Bottom line: LeEco's scrapping of its Vizio purchase may be due to currency controls, but should be welcome by the company as a cash conserving move, and could presage a withdrawal of its investment in electric car maker Faraday Future.

LeEco scraps Vizio purchase

The first major pullback for cash-challenged LeEco (Shenzhen: 300104) is coming in the US, where the company is confirming the abandonment of its $2 billion agreement to buy no-name TV maker Vizio. At the same ...

没错，5月，中国年轻的围棋九段柯洁就要上场迎战谷歌的人工智能大咖阿尔法狗（Alpha Go），三局两胜定输赢，此前，柯洁在微博上豪言，若他上场，可将阿尔法狗力斩于马下，可是现实不饶人，阿尔法狗已经连续将诸多围棋界新老高手挑落马下，完成10亿多盘对战，柯洁这次真的难以独善其身。

因此，柯洁说：人工智能进步超乎想象，有信心击败阿尔法狗。小郝子只能说，你牛逼，你说什么都对，你洒脱，你开心就好。不过，从胜率上来说，更可能结果，就像曾与阿尔法狗连续对弈的世界冠军古力所说：柯洁的胜率低于10%，即阿尔法狗有近90%的赢...

波涛汹涌、暗潮涌动，这是近期创业孵化市场给笔者的最大感受，仿佛有一股浓烈的杀伐之气突然降临到了“春”的大地上。

两极分化，创业孵化市场“大考”已开始

没错，在创新驱动发展的大战略下，创业孵化市场的春天似乎又来临了——首个粉科技孵化器落户苏州、爱尔威孵化器即将在常州启动、京东创博会孵化器要做文创企业的“硅谷”、首家民营自治区级孵化器在南宁诞生、郑州到明年要发展40个创客空间和孵化器……这只是近一周时间内创业孵化市场的简单掠影。

笔者前段时间曾抛出过一个数据——目前全国约有4298家众创空间、3200余...

导读：清明长假读完了《腾讯传》，吴晓波的书总是给人一种强大的历史感和时代感。而看完这本书，突然发现其实我可能是这家1998年成立的互联网公司第一批用户，过去20年我的人生轨迹，生活方式也伴随着互联网浪潮，腾讯的变革在改变。今天更多的不仅仅是分享《腾讯传》的读书笔记，而是自己对于整个中国过去20年互联网时代潮起潮落的一些感悟。

1995到2000年，PC互联网的时代

我第一次拥有个人电脑是在1994年，那时候父母给我买了一台386电脑，帮助我学习。那个年代，我们初中已经有了电脑课，无非是一些简单的编程和打...

Bottom line: Ant Financial's open letter to MoneyGram could hint at a new raised offer coming soon for the company, though rival suitor Euronet is likely to bid equally aggressively and has a slightly better chance of winning the contest.

Ant makes case to MoneyGram workers, US politicians

Three weeks after being surprised by an unsolicited counterbid for US money transferring specialist MoneyGram, China's Ant Financial is finally speaking out on the matter beyond its ini...

Bottom line: China Telecom's aggressive bidding for a government contract highlights its more entrepreneurial style, while Unicom's latest announcement on its private ownership plans reflects it conservative, bureaucratic style.

Unicom mixed ownership program crawls ahead

Two of China's trio of wireless telcos are in the news today, reflecting an effort by Beijing to breathe some life into these laggard state-run behemoths that always seem unable to realize their potenti...

Smartphone maker Xiaomi appears to be a company with an identity crisis, with reports that charismatic CEO Lei Jun has dumped former role model Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) in favor a new model in US bulk-item supermarket operator Cosc...

“有时候不是因为你错了，只是因为你老了。”这是互联网世界的真理，“老”就意味着不再性感、不再撩人，不能占领青年的心智思维，不能执掌未来的胜负关键，因此，所有互联网公司都信奉“得青年者得天下”，马云自然也不例外。

3年前，阿里巴巴集团内成立了二手物品买卖社区“闲鱼”.最新的数据显示，2016年闲鱼的用户从1亿激增至2亿，“鱼塘”（闲鱼内不同的社群）从12万个激增到40万个，分享了1.68亿件物品，包括玩具、画、宠物等等，甚至开辟了“代叫起床”、“代练游戏”、“塔罗牌占卜”等奇葩的服务，更有“一支口红的诱惑”、...

Bottom line: A mass protest against Oppo in India over a Chinese manager's desecration of the national flag won't impact the company beyond a week or two, and reflects cultural sensitivity issues Chinese firms will face as they expand abroad.

Oppo under fire in India

Smartphone high-flyer Oppo is quickly learning the road to India isn't always so smooth, with word of a mass protest at the company's local operation due to a controversy involving desecration of the Indian ...

【摘要】顺势应时，浙江未来的二、三十年，将会出现两种主体经济形态。一是在平原和城市，将会大力发展以网络数据智慧应用为核心的服务经济，二是在山区和农村，将会蓬勃发展以生态农业、生态旅游和生态人居业为表征的生态经济。当然，这两种经济形态也将是互相融合、相辅相成的。

很高兴来参加这个论坛，并荣幸地做一个发言。2016年7月间，我曾因谋划老知青“抱团养老”的事，经友人竭力推荐，到联众余学兵老总的府上拜访了一下，余总所从事的创造性工作很令我叹服。8月1日我们加了微信，我对他说：“对您投身的乡村改造事业很感兴...

Bottom line: LeEco's debt-for-equity deal with Compal and the looming collapse of its Vizio purchase are welcome developments that show it could quietly jettison some of its newer businesses and eventually emerge from its current cash crunch.

Picture dims on LeEco's Vizio purchase

The unwinding of former online video superstar LeEco (Shenzhen: 300104) continues to unfold, with two major developments that could help to slow the company's rapid decline. The first of those h...

Bottom line: New signals from Qihoo and Wuxi AppTech show they may be getting preferential treatment for A-share listings, as the regulator shifts its policies to favor high-quality private firms for IPOs.

Wuxi AppTech eyes A-share listing

New signals coming from China's stock regulator hint that it's softening its stance towards letting companies formerly listed in the US jump the queue for re-listings at home. That appears to be the message, following a string of new r...

Bottom line: Baidu's opening of a new artificial intelligence lab in Silicon Valley is the latest move in its AI obsession, which is likely to end in failure and a quiet pullback in around two years due to mediocre execution.

Baidu in new Silicon Valley R&D lab

I'm officially dubbing Baidu (Nasdaq: BIDU) chief executive Robin Li the "two-year attention span man", with word that the company is setting up a new Silicon Valley office in the rush to build up its artificial i...

        今天来给大家介绍一些萌萌哒非传统型的风力发电设施。不过在看萌物之前，还是要强行科普一下风力发电的原理（已经知道了的同学请自行跳过啦）。

        风能究竟是如何发电的呢?

        风能就是因空气流动而产生的动能——我们通过风车可以把动能转化成可利用的机械能（古代就有利用风车来磨谷物和抽水的）；而用风力发动机则可以把此机械能转化为电能：简单来说就是透过传动轴，将扇叶的旋转动力传送至发电机来发电。

        虽然我们常常把风电叫做“新能源”，但人类...

Bottom line: Tencent's online literature unit is likely to make a Hong Kong IPO later this year, and should get a relatively strong reception due to strong backing and its market leading position for a product with stable long-term demand.

Tencent literature unit eyes HK IPO

If you don't succeed the first, second and third times, then try again. That could well be the mantra for the digital literature unit of former online entertainment giant Shanda, which has gone throu...

Bottom line: China Telecom, Unicom and China Broadcasting Network could share the costs of a 5G network to lower costs, while China Mobile is likely to construct a network on its own.

【摘要】在一个信息化浪潮奔涌的国家，经济基础都已然“互联网+”了，难道上层建筑还不赶快也“互联网+”？由衷期望“制售假入罪”和打假维权网络平台良性互动、双管齐下，还我一个天下无假、风清气正的“新”中国来！

每年的3月15日，是国际消费者权益日。国内事先不太了然，但自从1991年国家工商总局和央视联合举办大型晚会，并同时公布假冒伪劣商品的反面典型以后，吸引了亿万百姓的眼球，一时名声大振、家喻户晓。

和十几亿人大市场的商品购销活动相比，每年公布的十数个、百十来个的黑心厂商和无良商家，实在只是沧海...

Bottom line: Qudian's IPO will get a moderately warm reception in New York, drawing interest due to its status as a major private fintech firm but also wariness owing to many uncertainties in the young sector.

Qudian moves closer to IPO

Anything involving movement of money has always been slightly problematic in China. Be it paying for things online, paying to play computer games, or even borrowing small sums to buy something like a smartphone, nothing has ever been easy...

Bottom line: Foundering prospects of cross-border tie-ups involving DreamWorks and Paramount shows the love affair between Hollywood and China may be entering a new phase of lowered, more realistic expectations.

DreamWorks Animation eyes sale of China JV stake

The old saying says that what goes up must come down, and that certainly appears to be the case with new reports of the unraveling of two more China-Hollywood tie-ups. The latest reports say that US giant DreamWork...

碳债券的出现，作为一种直接融资工具，吸引了各界的目光。然而实际上，发行碳债券对企业盘活碳资产并实现有效的碳资产管理到底有多大帮助呢？

然而，碳债券能在多大程度上帮助企业盘活碳...
