By extensively and proactively integrating innovative technologies into business scenarios, such as Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), the company has developed various types of technology applications to enhance their productivity and resource utilization with smarter production processes. Coupled with digitization, the company has optimized the supply chain management, reduced wastes of resources and improved the transparency of the entire value chain. An environmentally-friendly production mode has also been created by technological innovations, thereby decreasing wastewater discharge, effectively recycling energy and limiting carbon footprints. The two award-winning projects of CR Beer that highlight digital intelligence have not only demonstrated a win-win situation for economic and environmental benefits through digital transformation, but have also highlighted its role as an enabler of social and digital economic development, showcasing its corporate responsibility.“It is such an honor to receive these two valuable awards, and the recognition of our efforts in digital transformation. We are further convinced to uphold longtermism, and to accelerate all-round development in terms of globalization, premiumization, greening, cultural innovation and so on,” said Mr. Chen Xue Qiang, Deputy Director of Intelligence and Digitalization Department of CR Beer. “We would not have developed these two benchmark projects and outcompeted others without our critical partner, China Entercom, and its innovative ICT technologies and solutions. Our partnership dates back to 2019, and our teams have gained mutual trust in those five years so that we have achieved successful digitization regarding innovative technology and business innovation services. Far beyond being a provider of technologies, solutions and services, China Entercom is the trusted partner of CR Beer’s digital transformation journey.”Mr. Tao Zhi Bin, Deputy Director of Intelligence and Digitalization Department of CR Beer, said, “ At the IDC conference, CR Beer's green factory with digital intelligence was honored “Future of Digital Industry Navigator Case”. This acknowledgement not only affirms our achievements in constructing a green factory with digital intelligence, but also recognizes the potential for our company's future development. As a critical partner of CR Beer, China Entercom has provided strong support in intelligent cloud network security services, laying a solid digital foundation for us to realize our green vision of low-carbon operations. The collaboration between the two parties has achieved technical complementarity and integration, sparking deep synergies across business models, market strategies and different aspects.”Mr. Brook Wong, Chief Executive Officer of CITIC Telecom CPC and President of China Entercom, said, “It is a great pleasure and honor to work with CR Beer on digital transformation, which is both a leading, high-quality, all-rounded alcoholic beverage company and a very important corporate client. I believe that this award is undoubtedly a high recognition for the collaborative projects between the two parties, and it is also a strong affirmation of our motto “Innovation Never Stops” and dedication in the ICT industry for more than two decades. Our next step will be riding on the wave of the digital economy, while pursuing innovation in digital intelligence, boosting high-quality development in ‘AI+ Cloud, Network, Security’ solutions, and accelerating the advancement of the ICT industry. We are committed to making technology the ultimate business enabler, promoting high-quality development with innovation and intelligence.”From the Present to the Future: China Entercom Customizes a Future-Proof “All-in-One Cloud, Network, Security” Platform for CR Beer to Realize Digital IntelligenceHeadquartered in Beijing, CR Beer is one of the significant members of China Resources Group in terms of the consumer sector, and also a pioneer with a history spanning over 30 years in the domestic alcoholic beverage industry. In view of aggregate sales, CR Beer has been top-ranked in the Chinese beer market since 2006, however, the market competition has become fiercer with the change in market demands and consumption needs, notably the trends of premiumization and diversification among the leading enterprises in the past few years. CR Beer realized digitization and intelligentization are the keys to capture the market, so it implemented the “3+3+3” corporate development strategy for premiumization in 2017, moved towards technology productization in 2020, and recently launched a dual empowerment model of “Beer and Baijiu”.To achieve digital transformation, CR Beer needs to generate higher values from technologies and foster business growth by addressing the preexisting challenges. More importantly, it needs a reliable partner with technological expertise, tailor-made solutions, exceptional service capabilities and global resources to flexibly support its future businesses and advance the three critical objectives: (1) enhance network continuity and scalability, (2) improve network efficiency, and (3) reinforce the security protection of the entire digital infrastructure.“Having considered carefully and conducted rigorous technical tests, CR Beer decided to join hands with China Entercom. With its full-cycle support from customization, deployment and installation, implementation to operation and maintenance, we adopted its innovative suite of ‘All-in-One Cloud, Network, Security’ solutions (MPLS + SD-WAN + Security + SASE + Private Cloud). With this solution as a solid and secure foundation for digital transformation, CR Beer has experienced a seamless and highly efficient transformation journey, which is in line with the ultimate goals of our partnership,” said Mr. Chen Xue Qiang, Deputy Director of the Intelligence and Digitalization Department of CR Beer.IDC commented on “CR Beer’s One-Stop SD-WAN Hybrid Network” project, said: “This project has excelled and outcompeted others in network optimization, service delivery, technology innovation and low-carbon development. Additionally, the one-stop service provided by China Entercom not only streamlines the network management, but also ensures network stability and security with its round-the-clock monitoring function. With the integration of multiple innovative technologies, the customized ‘All-in-One Cloud, Network, Security’ solutions have addressed the digital transformation requirements of CR Beer. In particular, deploying the private cloud in the low-carbon data center is apparently a proactive approach to environmental protection and low-carbon operation, providing an excellent paradigm of both economic benefits and social responsibility commitments, setting a benchmark for the industry.”Rooted in China, Connecting Globally: China Entercom as the long-term partner of CR Beer’s Globalization StrategyCR Beer is committed to fulfilling its responsibility as a subsidiary of China Resources Group, actively promoting the “Belt and Road” Initiative and global development. To connect globally, the company first established a global strategic partnership with Heineken Group in 2019 under the “Going Global” policy, making China the second largest market for Heineken. By leveraging the global resources of China Entercom and its parent company CITIC Telecom CPC, the next step of CR Beer is to promote a comprehensive digital transformation with network improvement as the basis, realizing automated workflow and intelligent decision support. Meanwhile, the company is looking forward to boosting operational efficiency and responsiveness to drive rapid business growth and expand its market presence along the “Belt and Road”, in Southeast Asia, Europe and the global market.Mr. Henry Ko, General Manager of Enterprise Sales, China Entercom, said, “The cooperation between China Entercom and CR Beer started at the initial stage of its digital transformation journey. As an industry leader, CR Beer has more heightened requirements of digital transformation — cost reduction, higher efficiency, and most importantly, holistically solving current pain points and challenges for a better future. And this is where our strengths lie. Having worked with a variety of industries for more than 20 years, China Entercom is well aware that forward-looking technologies and services offered by solution providers are the keys to maximizing clients’ IT investment efficiency.”“There are some prerequisites for new technology applications to attain cost reduction and efficiency enhancement during digital transformation. The first is to select the right technologies and solutions, and the second is to carry out customized implementation and deployment for better business development. In other words, choosing the right partner matters. It is a great pleasure to be the right partner for CR Beer, and to be working together since the very beginning of its digital transformation, which it has eventually achieved higher efficiency with technologies,” continued Mr. Ko.Beer with ICT Innovations: CR Beer Adds a Hint of New Technology FlavorThe in-depth cooperation between CR Beer and China Entercom demonstrates the convergence of innovative ICT technologies with the traditional alcoholic beverage industry, resembling a brewer blending liquors delicately. The next stage of cooperation is reportedly in the direction of going globally, AI+ and SOC-as-a-Service (SOCaaS).“Under the leadership of Mr. Guo Hua, Chief Digital Officer of CR Beer, the information technology team is actively promoted ‘Five Transformations, Three Concentrations, One Core, and Four Platforms as the transformation framework to comprehensively promote the implementation of the digital strategy, committed to aligning with top international standards.  As we strongly support the digitalization of our business systems, we consistently enhance infrastructure development and information security. In parallel, we are proactively delving into the implementation of cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence, aiming to propel our digital transformation efforts.  Our goal is to establish a globally competitive IT brand and highlight the distinctive value of CR Beer and its IT division through recognition at the IDC awards.  We anticipate our continued collaboration with China Entercom, strategically mapping out our long-term partnership to achieve a more robust digital transformation and sustainable development,” concluded Mr. Chen Xue Qiang, Deputy Director of the Intelligence and Digitalization Department of CR Beer.References[1]Source: CR Beer[2]https://www.jnexpert.com/article/detail?id=4040About IDC Future Enterprise Awards ChinaIn its ninth year, the IDC Future Enterprise Awards recognize remarkable institutions, organizations and/or individuals that have showcased critical efforts and breakthroughs in digital transformation.

欧盟国家总统赞扬新的“铁幕”

(SeaPRwire) -   波兰计划在其东部边界花费26亿美元用于军事基础设施建设 波兰总统安杰伊·杜达上周末对英国《泰晤士报》表示,华沙正在其东部边界修建一条新的“铁幕”,并拒绝了这一冷战时期词汇的负面含义。 华沙已经在其与白俄罗斯的边界上竖起了一道长长的钢制围栏,以防止潜在的移民非法越境。它打算在其5月份宣布的“东部盾牌”计划下,花费约26亿美元用于军事防御工事、反无人机系统、弹药库和观察哨的建设。 “西方的一些政治家对此感到恐惧。他们最不想看到的是铁幕重建,”杜达在周六发表的一篇采访中告诉该报。 “我要说的是:如果我的同胞的安全需要再次竖起铁幕来保障,那么好吧,只要我们站在自由的一边,就会有铁幕,”他宣称。 在1946年著名的密苏里州富尔顿演讲中,英国首相温斯顿·丘吉尔普及了这一术语,指的是欧洲在苏联和西方势力范围之间的分裂——这被广泛认为是冷战的起点。 波兰将近5%的GDP用于军费开支,并自称为北约在东部的堡垒。从这个意义上说,“华沙正在承担西德在冷战最热烈的岁月里所扮演的角色,”《泰晤士报》周日思考道。该国也是基辅战争努力最坚定和最主要的资助者之一。 杜达是执政的法律与公正党组成的上一届保守派政府的盟友,该党的任期将在5月份结束。上一届内阁在去年议会选举中失利后下台,但这一变化并未对波兰在乌克兰冲突中对俄罗斯的立场产生重大影响。 波兰官员将“东部盾牌”描述为自1945年以来对北约东翼最大规模的加强。国防部长瓦迪斯瓦夫·科西尼亚克-卡米什上周表示,建设工程将在几天内启动。预计工程将在2028年完工。 据莫斯科称,北约自苏联解体以来在欧洲的扩张是乌克兰冲突的主要原因之一。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

香港股票分析师协会主席邓声兴专访侨雄国际主席李立中

香港, 2024年10月28日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 随着科技的高速发展,数字技术正以新理念、新业态、新模式全面融入人类经济、政治、文化、社会、生态文明建设各领域和全过程,给人类生产生活带来广泛而深刻的影响,中国正在加速进入数字时代。在这个过程当中,以信息技术、区块链、人工智能为代表的新兴科技的发展和应用,将成为推动企业数字化转型的关键因素。作为一家多元化业务的投资控股公司,侨雄国际(00381.HK)成立三十余年来扎实运营实业,同时不断整合公司资源,开拓具有盈利潜力的投资机会。10月4日,侨雄国际发布公告,委任李立中为执行董事兼联席主席,随后在10月10日公司再次发布公告宣布拟更名为权识国际集团股份有限公司。一系列动作显示公司正在加快数字媒体经销行业布局,进一步丰富业务的多元化结构,推动公司更加稳步向前。日前,侨雄国际执行董事兼联席主席李立中接受香港股票分析师协会主席邓声兴博士连线专访,首次对外界透露其对侨雄国际集团未来的展望以及各个业务板块发展战略的思考。资料显示,李立中长期从事人工智能、元宇宙、智联网络、区块链科学研究,这些领域的研究成果不仅推动了科技进步,而且为人类的生活带来了巨大的改变。其工作成果向世界展示了中国科学家的智慧和实力,也为中国在科技领域的发展做出了重要贡献。李立中表示,随着智能时代的到来,人工智能提升生产力可能导致供给端和消费能力不匹配,出现产销双滞的情况。利用区块链技术和web3.0这种数字经济的新形态、新业态、新物种来重构生产关系,可以将个体从单纯的打工人转变为生产资料提供者,使更多人能够参与到生产和价值创造过程中,从而更有效地配置人力、物力等资源,提高资源的利用效率,缓解经济循环不畅的问题。在专访中,李立中提出了共产经济权识生态的概念,旨在通过区块链技术实现生产资料的共享和共建。在这个生态中,每个参与者都可以成为生产资料的提供者、使用者和受益者。通过生产资料映射,可以确保每个参与者的权益得到保障,实现公平、公正、透明的分配机制,这种重构的分配机制将提升民众的收入水平和消费能力,从而解决产能过剩的问题。李立中进一步解释称,该生态模式有助于实现第一次财富分配的相对平衡。通过让更多人成为产业生态的共产者、共建者,参与剩余价值分配体系,能够增加民众的收入来源,缩小贫富差距,为实现共同富裕提供一种新的途径和思路。与此同时,权识的高溢价、高增值可以大幅增强民众的消费能力,这对于企业来说,能够加快产品的销售和库存的消化,降低企业的运营成本和风险,促进企业的健康发展,进而推动整个产业经济的正循环。李立中指出,通过区块链技术重构生产关系,可以推动经济模式的创新和发展。传统的经济模式往往依赖于中心化的机构或平台,而区块链技术可以实现去中心化的经济模式,降低交易成本,提高交易效率。李立中表示,共产经济权识生态的实现需要依托区块链等新兴技术,这将推动相关技术的不断发展和创新。同时,这种新的经济模式也为技术创新提供了更广阔的应用场景和市场需求,加速技术与经济的融合,促进新质生产力的发展。"该模式打破了传统的经济模式和生产关系,鼓励人们以新的方式参与经济活动,为经济发展带来新的思路和方法。这将激发社会的创新活力,推动产业的升级和转型,促进经济的可持续发展。" 李立中说。对于生产数据动态确权的问题,李立中透露,其早在2018年就申请了区块链AOM权识专利技术(专利号:201810475808.3)和区块链行为数据挖矿的专利授权(专利号:201810018810.8),侨雄国际可以利用这些核心专利技术,致力于为产业数据动态确权,真正的让web3.0与实体经济实现交叉融合,从而推动企业数字经济转型。李立中表示,区块链技术为生产数据的动态确权提供了一种创新且有效的解决方案。通过数字身份、智能合约、数据加密和区块链存证等技术手段,可以确保数据的真实性、完整性和可追溯性,为数据的确权提供可靠的技术支持。谈到侨雄国际的数字化转型升级,李立中指出,随着国家"十四五"规划的提出,数字化转型已成为各行各业的发展趋势。侨雄国际作为一家多元化的企业,面临着市场竞争和业务增长的双重压力,因此迫切需要进行数字化转型升级。侨雄国际希望通过数字技术,提供更加个性化、智能化的产品和服务,满足消费者的多样化需求,拓展新的市场渠道,为公司带来了新的业务增长点和发展机遇。"侨雄国际未来会通过相关专利技术对公司各板块业务做全方位的数位经济转型,通过生产资料的标识化,为公司的各个板块注入新的价值与活力。更名为权识国际并推动数字化转型升级,是公司应对市场竞争、实现业务增长的重要举措。" 李立中称。除此以外,李立中还提出,基于"十四五"规划所带来的数字化新浪潮,各行各业将获得更多发展机遇,面对中国社会经济发展新阶段、新特征,侨雄国际未来将利用数字化转型技术赋能于香港的所有的上市公司和实体产业,向数字媒体经销等方向稳定发展,进一步丰富公司业务的多元化结构。李立中认为,实体经济和数字经济相辅相成。数字经济有着更丰富的外延,能够催生新业态、新物种、新模式,实体经济升级后能转变成对应的数字经济,成为数字经济的一部分,这可能是未来的一种生活方式,所以加快发展数字经济是大势所趋,需要行业先锋主动出击,迎接挑战,切实把技术和产业融合起来,推动好技术、好概念真正落地。国家层面也会加大政策扶持力度,完善政策保障体系,提升企业数字化转型积极性,助力实现共同富裕。 Copyright 2024 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

拜登对哈里斯“不利” – Axios

(SeaPRwire) -   据报道,民主党候选人的团队正在疏远总统为她助选的尝试。 据美国政治新闻网站 Axios 周一报道,多位知情人士透露,美国副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯的竞选团队据称一直在无视总统乔·拜登在 11 月大选前的最后几天对她进行支持的尝试。   据该媒体报道,总统曾保留几天时间与民主党候选人哈里斯一起竞选,但她的团队并未安排任何联合活动。    消息人士向 Axios 透露,哈里斯的竞选团队对拜登支持她的尝试回应道“我们会回复您”。    据该媒体报道,这种态势源于哈里斯认为,这位 81 岁的总统在竞选的关键时刻是一个“政治包袱”。然而,她的团队不愿直言不讳地说出这一点,也不愿公开拒绝拜登的助选尝试。   一位消息人士告诉该媒体,拜登和哈里斯之间的关系堪比“慢动作分手”。    “哈里斯的团队和盟友尊重拜登的贡献,但他们担心在竞选活动中将哈里斯进一步与这位不受欢迎的总统捆绑在一起,”Axios 报道称。“他让人想起过去的四年,而不是新的前进道路,”一位消息人士告诉该媒体。   拜登在今年夏天早些时候,在 6 月与共和党对手唐纳德·特朗普进行了一场广受批评的辩论后,退出了总统竞选。此后,总统的认可率跌至 39%,根据盖洛普在 10 月初进行的一项民意调查。  上周,拜登在新罕布什尔州的一个竞选办公室呼吁将特朗普“关起来”,引发了强烈反弹。“我知道这听起来很奇怪。如果我在五年前说了这句话,你们会把我关起来,但我们必须把他关起来,”拜登说,指责这位前总统试图利用他的豁免权和权力来“在身体上消灭他认为对他不利的人”。   拜登后来澄清说,他希望“在政治上关押”特朗普,但他的言论仍然招致了前总统和其他共和党人的谴责,共和党人长期以来一直指责拜登政府利用司法部针对其对手。今年早些时候,曼哈顿陪审团在与色情明星斯托米·丹尼尔斯有关的 34 项指控中认定特朗普有罪,这些指控涉及对丹尼尔斯的封口费,以及 2021 年 1 月 6 日的国会骚乱。   据 Axios 报道,拜登的言论也“让”一些哈里斯助手感到“沮丧”。   尽管如此,该媒体报道称,拜登团队中的许多人认为,这位老迈的总统仍然可以帮助哈里斯赢得胜利,而且他在某些选民中的影响力被低估了。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

我不希望与俄罗斯开战——万斯

(SeaPRwire) -   华盛顿需要在外交上与其对手接触,特朗普的竞选搭档表示 共和党副总统候选人 J.D. 凡斯表示,美国并没有与俄罗斯交战,也不应该寻求战争,当被问及他是否会将俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京定性为美国的“敌人”时,他做出了这样的表态。 这位来自俄亥俄州的参议员在周日参加 NBC 的“与媒体见面”节目时被问及,他是否认为俄罗斯领导人“是盟友还是敌人”。 凡斯回答说,普京“显然是一个对手,是一个竞争对手,”但华盛顿需要“在外交方面也保持聪明”。 “仅仅因为我们不喜欢某个人,并不意味着我们不能偶尔与他们进行对话,”他建议道。 主持人克里斯滕·韦尔克进一步追问他,是否会直接将普京称为敌人。 “我们没有与他交战。我不想与弗拉基米尔·普京的俄罗斯交战,”这位参议员说。“我认为我们应该努力寻求和平的途径。” 凡斯说,同样的逻辑也适用于中国,并补充说,他认为中国对美国利益的威胁比俄罗斯更大。这位参议员指出,美国可能不喜欢与对手谈判,但在乌克兰冲突的情况下,将需要谈判。 当被问及前总统唐纳德·特朗普是否会让美国退出北约时,凡斯保证他不会。如果他的竞选搭档重返总统职位,美国将履行对该组织的承诺,但该组织“不仅仅是一个福利客户,它应该是一个真正的联盟,”他说。凡斯指的是特朗普对北约欧洲成员国国防开支不足的批评。 莫斯科将北约在欧洲的扩张视为对其国家安全的威胁,也是导致与西方关系恶化的主要原因。俄罗斯官员表示,该组织自 2014 年基辅武装政变以来日益加深对乌克兰的干预,以及承诺将乌克兰纳入北约的承诺,在很大程度上引发了目前的敌对行动。 现任民主党政府承诺“只要需要”就会支持基辅击败俄罗斯,并敦促其他国家也这样做。尽管在乌克兰援助方面花费了数千亿美元,但基辅军队目前在许多战线上都在撤退。特朗普在竞选时声称,如果当选,他将在 24 小时内结束敌对行动。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

With this positive decision, Atlas Lithium has all the needed authorizations to assemble and run its processing plant and develop open-pit mining operations at one of its lithium deposits. This marks a crucial milestone in the Company's goal of becoming a lithium producer.On October 25, 2024, a voting board comprised of twelve representatives from the local civil society and government unanimously approved Atlas Lithium's license application for its Neves Project, resulting in the formal issuance of the permit.
