Not long ago, Xiaomi’s official website suddenly appeared many positions related to autonomous driving. It was an obvious signal that Xiaomi would also build a car. This is already the countless number of players on the car building track.

In the past two years, in addition to some traditional car companies, cross-border car manufacturing has also become popular. Real estate car manufacturing, Internet car manufacturing, express car manufacturing… I have to say that the gold mine of new energy vehicles allows all players to It’s like a rush.

However, no matter what kind of car you want to build or how big a “gold mine” you want to dig, you cannot do without the merchants who “sell shovels” to the gold diggers. In the field of new energy vehicles, Ningde era is the “shovel” businessman that auto companies can’t do without.

On the last day of May this year, CATL’s market value exceeded RMB 100 billion, making it the first listed company with a market capitalization of over RMB 1 trillion on the ChiNext—and this figure is equivalent to the market value of three auto companies such as BYD, Great Wall Motors and SAIC Motor. with.

In the market value map of Chinese companies, this is the only hard-core technology company from manufacturing outside of finance, liquor, and the Internet.

Why is the Ningde era? Will such a wealth creation myth appear next? 01. Make a rich myth The success of the Ningde era is no accident. Currently, the three major businesses of CATL are power battery systems, energy storage systems and lithium battery materials. Among them, the power battery system is the main source of income in the Ningde era. As the most critical component of current new energy vehicles, power batteries are equivalent to the “heart” of the electric vehicle industry. It accounts for one-third of the cost of the entire vehicle. The cost, cruising range, safety and charging efficiency of a new energy vehicle are closely related to battery quality. Therefore, the Ningde era, which is above the tuyere of new energy vehicles, is undoubtedly on the best track, and it is foreseeable that in the short term, this dividend will continue for a long time. In addition, the rise of the CATL era cannot be separated from the boost of the BMW Group. Picture/Pexels In 2012, when BMW Brilliance was preparing for the first high-end pure electric vehicle “Zino 1E”, it finally decided to abandon BYD and chose to cooperate with the Ningde era, which was only one year old. Compared with BYD’s closed operation model of self-production and self-use, CATL adopts a completely different development approach, such as actively opening up supply, and taking into account both lithium iron phosphate and ternary lithium batteries. The open attitude has brought many opportunities for the Ningde era. CATL and BMW Group have jointly developed the “Zinoone 1E” power battery system, which is produced and manufactured by CATL. Since then, CATL has become the only battery supplier of the BMW Group in Greater China. With the help of the cooperation with BMW, CATL quickly opened the power battery market and became the first domestic power battery company to successfully enter the supplier system of international car companies. Currently, as the power battery supplier with the highest market share in the world, CATL has the broadest customer base in the industry. Not only are the core suppliers of world-renowned leading auto companies such as Tesla, Daimler, BMW, Volkswagen, Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai, but also in the domestic market, CATL is also a major supplier of SAIC, FAW, Geely, Yutong, BAIC, Wei Lai, Xiaopeng and other car companies support power battery products. The huge customer network has brought huge profits to the Ningde era. Data show that from 2018 to 2020, CATL’s operating income was 29.61 billion yuan, 45.79 billion yuan, and 50.32 billion yuan, and net profits reached 3.387 billion yuan, 4.560 billion yuan, and 5.583 billion yuan, showing an upward trend year by year. In the first quarter of this year, CATL achieved operating income of 19.17 billion yuan and net profit of 1.952 billion yuan, an increase of more than 100%. In addition, from the stock price point of view, since its listing in 2018, CATL’s stock price has risen all the way, especially in the last year due to the significant increase in market demand for new energy vehicles. Compared with the listing, the stock price has risen by more than 16 times. A veritable white horse stock. Picture/Network From the perspective of market share, the development momentum of the Ningde era is also very rapid. Data shows that in 2019, the installed capacity of power batteries in the Ningde era accounted for 51.8% of the total installed capacity of 32.31GWh, ranking first for three consecutive years; the second-tier enterprise leader Even if BYD has the advantage of internal supply, its market share is only 1/3 of that of the Ningde era. In all respects, the CATL does match a trillion market capitalization, and the birth of such a company is also inseparable from factors such as timeliness (consumption upgrade), geographical advantages (good track), people and (own strength). It is worth noting that the Ningde era is still expanding this advantage. Public information shows that CATL has entered the field of travel in all aspects. In addition to power batteries, its investment areas include new energy vehicles, autonomous driving, charging piles and other industries. Picture/Network It can be seen that the ambition of the Ningde era is far from simple as a battery supplier. 02, the pattern is undecided Although no one can surpass the achievements of the CATL in the short term, it is not without opportunities for other car companies. Right now, the market for new energy vehicles is undergoing rapid changes, and the competition for new energy vehicles has entered the second half. In this upgrade competition, new energy vehicles are no longer just used as a means of transportation, but smart connected devices with different functions such as energy storage. This also means that companies will not only focus on the vertical supply chain of new energy vehicles, but also build an ecosystem with new energy vehicles as the core. The development of infrastructure, 5G networks, on-board operating systems and related applications for the interaction of new energy vehicles with grid energy will accelerate in the next 15 years. The upgrade and development of new energy vehicles will inevitably touch all aspects of the field, but in the entire industry chain, the most promising power battery companies are naturally. After all, no matter how the new energy vehicle changes and develops, as an energy storage device, the power battery is the most important component of an electric vehicle. With the advancement of technology, the requirements for the battery will continue to increase. In the second half of the new energy vehicle, how to solve the problem of the mileage and battery safety of the fuel truck has become the key. Whoever can take the lead in completing the reform will be able to seize the wind in the second half of the new energy vehicle. Of course, such a test must also be faced in the Ningde era. At present, the most widely used ternary lithium battery in new energy vehicles is generally made of positive electrode, separator, negative electrode, and then filled with electrolyte. The energy density of such a battery should be up to about 300Wh/kg, plus or minus. Not more than 20Wh/kg. If you want to increase the energy density to 350Wh/kg, you also need to place hopes on a new generation of lithium-ion batteries or solid-state batteries. Picture/Pexels In addition, the widely used lithium battery is also potentially dangerous. Once an internal or external short circuit occurs, the battery can release a large amount of heat in a very short period of time. The flammable liquid electrolyte will Is ignited, eventually causing the battery to catch fire or explode. The existing main methods to avoid spontaneous combustion are nothing more than adding flame retardants to the electrolyte, optimizing the BMS thermal management system, using ceramic coating and high temperature resistant diaphragms, and so on. However, these methods have not completely eradicated the safety hazards of the battery system. Therefore, the industry generally puts the future of battery development on solid-state batteries, but the current domestic solid-state battery development is still a long time away from mass production. CATL also stated that this time will be at least 2030. Therefore, from the current point of view, companies that have failed to grasp the initiative in this round of power batteries have set their sights on the track of the next generation of power batteries early. In the next ten years, whoever grabs solid-state batteries will Seize the opportunity to develop in the new energy automobile industry. In addition, the shortage of funds is also a thorny issue that major battery companies must face. As we all know, new energy vehicles are a very money-consuming field. At present, China’s subsidy policy for new energy has shifted from the most aggressive stage to a more moderate stage that is gradually being led by the market. Therefore, those car companies and manufacturers that rely on government subsidies to develop will have to choose to tighten their belts in the future. Data shows that when my country’s new energy subsidy policy was reduced in 2017, and in 2018, it fully retreated and launched the “dual points policy”, my country’s rapid growth of power batteries has also temporarily come to an end. At the same time, the growth rate of CATL has also dropped from a high of 90% to 38.8% in 2019, and then to 9.22% in 2020. It can be seen that for the Ningde era, the best era may have passed. Entering the second half of new energy vehicles with intensified industry changes and reduced government subsidies, the Ningde era will usher in new crises and challenges. 03. Who can win? As the saying goes, it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to keep the country. In addition to facing the pressure from the second half of the new energy vehicles, competitors are eyeing the market share, and the Ningde era is also not to be underestimated. According to the data, in 2019, domestic power battery companies are ranked as follows: Ningde Times, BYD, Guoxuan High-Tech, Lishen Battery, Yiwei Lithium, AVIC Lithium, Times SAIC, Funeng Technology, BAK Battery, and Xinwanda. Judging from the current industry rankings, battery manufacturers are divided into several echelons. The first echelon is the Ningde era and BYD. From 2016 to the present, they have basically stabilized in the top two positions and already possess a relatively monopolistic position. The rest is the second echelon. As of April 2021, among the top 5 domestic power battery companies in terms of installed capacity, in addition to CATL and BYD, they also include AVIC Lithium, LG Chem, and Guoxuan Hi-Tech, all of which are considered second echelon players. Its market share is also increasing. In fact, before 2016, BYD had been the sales champion in China’s power battery market. The turning point began in 2017, when CATL relied on its ternary battery to overtake, and BYD has become the “second in the millennium”. But in March last year, BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu launched a high-profile blade battery that passed the acupuncture test at an online press conference. This battery focuses on safety and low cost. The battery will also be fully matched to the latest flagship model BYD Han. The trend of counterattack. Picture/Pexels And Guoxuan Hi-Tech is still a little bit behind the two. In addition, AVIC Lithium has not yet landed in the capital market, but data shows that in 2020, AVIC Lithium’s power battery installed capacity will rise to 3.55GWh, with a market share of 5.6%, and its ranking will rise from 6th to 4th. Its own development is also relatively rapid. From the perspective of solid-state battery research, among domestic power battery companies, Qingtao Energy, Ningde Times, Ganfeng Lithium, Huineng, Beijing Weilan, and Kanai New Energy are all at the forefront of solid-state battery research and development. It is understood that Qingtao Energy has developed an all-solid-state battery with a single energy density of 430Wh/kg and a mass production stage of more than 300Wh/g; CATL is focusing on polymer solid-state lithium metal batteries and sulfide-based solid-state batteries. All research; Ganfeng Lithium’s first-generation solid-state lithium battery R&D pilot production line with an annual output of 100 million watt-hours has been completed and trial production; Weilan New Energy held a solid-state battery project in Jiangsu in 2019, and it is planned to be completed in 2020. Produce 0.1GWh solid-state battery production line; Huineng Technology said that it will start trial production of all-solid-state batteries in 2023, and mass-produce all-solid-state batteries in 2024. On the one hand, car companies are also struggling to enter the battery competition field. On July 29 last year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced on Weibo that the upcoming power battery business will not only be provided for his own use, but will also be sold like BYD. In addition, Volkswagen, BMW, Geely, Changan, Great Wall, SAIC and other traditional automakers as well as new car manufacturers have their own power battery investment layout or production line planning, through the establishment of joint ventures, self-built batteries Plants and other methods have launched a deep layout in the field of power batteries, and even have a timetable for mass production of solid-state batteries. It is not surprising that OEMs vigorously deploy power batteries. Although judging from the current situation, the Ningde era is still far ahead. But temporary technological leadership does not mean leading forever. With the continuous emergence of new technologies, the disappearance of policy subsidies, and the catching up of competitors, the battery industry will eventually usher in a major reshuffle. The big waves wash away the sand, and the sinker is gold; the wind rags and the victor is king. Under the fierce competition, we will wait and see whether the “Ningde Times” version of the miracle of wealth creation can continue.

However, in order to keep the true taste of Vietnamese pho, Filet Pho has experienced many difficulties in learning pho recipes and finding ingredients to match the traditional pho style. Entrepreneur Ninh Nguyen, owner of the Filet pho brand, shared: “ Before embarking on implementation, it is necessary to prepare all the ingredients, calculate so that the taste of the finished product has the highest harmony, satisfying the taste, smell and sight of customers. “. “ As a business, you need to put your mind first to maintain the reputation and support of customers. However, in the traditional pho business, the mind must be bigger because this is not only an ordinary dish but also the quintessential Vietnamese dish. “, businessman Ninh Nguyen confided. Before Filet Pho was officially launched in the US market, businessman Ninh Nguyen said that she also had a lot of difficulties in how to harmonize the taste of her dishes to match the local people. However, she still chooses to keep the traditional flavors of this dish, so that Vietnamese communities, even though far from home, can still enjoy the specialties of their hometown, helping them to relieve some of their nostalgia. hometown. In the US, many restaurants open every day. However, there are places that have been in business for a few months and have closed. According to businessman Ninh Nguyen, in addition to the quality of the food, the service attitude and after-sales service are also extremely important in creating the success of a restaurant. Therefore, Pho Filet regularly corrects the staff’s service attitude, so that “please come, please go”. In addition, when a complaint or problem arises, the store will also quickly receive, handle and give customers the most satisfactory answer. With positive feedback from diners with Filet pho, in the near future, the Filet noodle brand of businessman Ninh Nguyen will surely expand more and more, becoming a favorite place of the overseas Vietnamese community in the US. , thereby further spreading the spirit of Vietnamese cuisine to friends and the international community.

I have known about Spanish food for a long time, but first time in Singapore. At that time, I had the opportunity to go to Lion Island quite often. Singapore consists of a large island and more than sixty small islands clustered in the middle of the ocean, possessing no natural resources, but rich in the will and intellect to turn the stopover of British traders in the early 19th century into one of the most prosperous developed countries in Asia today. Singapore is also known as a culinary paradise, with the presence of countless unique dishes from around the world. The me of those years was young and fresh, looking at everything was sparkling with hope, every day joyfully welcomed a beginning leading to many new things, all joys and sorrows could become poetic and unexpected. Singapore is one of the places where my adventurous, amazing, and beautiful life is kept. On special occasions, we often have dinner at Clarke Quay or Boat Quay, where there are many attractive restaurants located on both sides of the bustling Singapore River. Before dinner that night, he suggested playing lots to decide where to eat. When I was busy getting ready, it was the turn of the dress, he wrote on the back of five small business cards, folded in half. He said: “There are five surprises! You choose!”. After hesitating for a while, picking it up and putting it down, I opened the lot and shouted: “Ahhh! Spanish food!!!”. I had never tasted Spanish food before, so I was very excited. He chuckles: “That’s great! I know you like it!”. We took the MRT from Orchard Road straight to Boat Quay, then walked along the river. I wear a soft silk dress, a deep peach color. He wore a smoky shirt, gray tie with tiny silver stars, and black trousers, quite formal. After a hot, dry day, the cool evening breezes bring moisture to my skin, crept over my lashes, in my hair, into me through the delicate silk. He joked, saying: “Look at you, like a small sail! Be careful, the wind blows it away!”. But that “small sail” just touched the river, overflowing, eagerly ready to sail to the great sea, not having anticipated all the storms and storms, even though they had known storms. We went to Tapas Tree, a Spanish restaurant near the foot of Elgin Bridge, on Clarke Quay, chose a table on a floating raft close to the river embankment to see the city at night. A Spanish singer with wavy brown hair, dreamily holding a guitar sings melodious Espanol love songs, while diners sip a dinner prepared by a Spanish chef. The restaurant’s menu is full of attractive Tapas dishes. Tapas is originally an appetizer, made from vegetables, meat or seafood, with a lot of hot and spicy spices such as turmeric, pepper, garlic, dried chili, paprika and olive oil. In my opinion, if the main flavor of Thai cuisine is lemongrass and coconut milk, French cuisine is cheese, Chinese cuisine is soy sauce…, then Spanish cuisine is garlic and olive oil. It makes most of the dishes, like the fish sauce of Vietnamese cuisine. A meal of Tapas, of course, cannot be without Sangria, a cool cocktail, made from red wine with a little brandy, sugar or honey and fresh fruits such as oranges, lemons, chopped apples. The first sip of Sangria was wonderful, fresh and joyful rushing into my senses, brimming with vibrant Mediterranean colors, pangolin on the tip of my tongue. It stimulates, stimulates the taste buds, makes us crave for all the Tapas dishes that have just been served, a little of each, delicately presented in rustic red-brown terracotta plates. First, we started with Gazpacho, a cold tomato soup that is very popular during summer days. Tomato peeled, seeded, ground with bread cores soaked in cold water, added garlic, vinegar, sugar, bell peppers and olive oil, into a smooth paste, chilled before enjoying. Then comes Patatas bravas, a potato dish that is sliced ​​square in the style of chess pieces, deep fried in oil, then drenched in tomato sauce, sweet peppers, red peppers, olive oil and some other condiments, served while still hot. The potato pieces are still crispy but covered with tomato sauce, sweet and sour, and even greasy with olive oil. And Champinones al ajillo, sautéed mushrooms with olive oil, garlic, and hot peppers. I used to love shrimp, so I can’t miss Gambas al ajillo, garlic shrimp with olive oil sauce, served with crispy bread. We talked endlessly, laughed together, welcomed the river breeze, leisurely sipped Tapas with Sangria wine, sipping every precious moment. I want to anchor the night at this riverbank forever, afraid that time will take it away. The brown-haired singer plays the piano, the melody of “Lo Mucho Que Te Quiero”, a passionate Spanish love song: “Trust me when I say how much I love you. Believe me when I say how much I care about you. Forgive me, give me peace of mind. All I need is time, to prove my love for you…” . He sang, as he walked towards us, and then stood right next to him, as if he were singing for us alone. He holds my hand, looks deep into my eyes, so tender. The waiter suddenly brought a tray, in a small gift wrapping tray wrapped in ash pink paper, tied with a silver ribbon, very beautiful. He thanked him, took the gift, gave it to me. He smiled, said softly like the breeze: “This gift belongs to the lady, senora! Wish you all the best, little sail!”. I was swept from surprise to surprise, just sitting there, speechless. The river wind blew fiercely, as if to lift me up. The city lights cast shadows on the river at night with seven sparkling rainbow colors. The invisible anchor I dropped somewhere in the stream of light… The gift I received that night was a thick, beautifully printed book, “A Little Taste of Spain” – “A Little Taste of Spain”. A detailed guide on how to cook Tapas dishes with vivid illustrations. The first page had the line he dedicated, the handwriting circling like tiny crabs crawling across the paper: “To remember the Spanish dinners by the river, and many more in a lifetime” . I’ve tasted Spanish from restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City, in Manila, in Kuala Lumpur, in Penang, in Jakarta, in Bangkok, in Hong Kong, in London, in Paris, in Berlin, in Copenhagen, even right between Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but never having the same taste of dinner on the banks of the Singapore River again. Sometimes I still make Spanish at home. I like Gambas al ajillo best, because it’s quite simple, but delicious. All you need is really fresh peeled shrimp, some big garlic, a few dried chili peppers, some parsley, scallions, a little pepper, a little salt, butter and of course quite a bit of olive oil, and you’re done. One part minced garlic, the rest thinly sliced; chopped dried chili or leave it whole, depending on who likes it more or less spicy; finely chopped parsley and scallions. Marinate the shrimp with minced garlic, pepper, and salt, let it infuse. Put the pan on a low heat, add olive oil, butter, garlic, chili, shrimp shells, and stir until fragrant, then turn off the heat, filter the oil and discard the residue. Thus, the olive sauce will be dense with shrimp flavor and rich. Return the oil to the pan, heat it to medium heat, add the sliced ​​garlic and chili, fry until fragrant, then the shrimp. Quickly flip up and down to cook shrimp evenly on both sides. Placing shrimp on a Spanish-style deep red-brown ceramic plate is not only beautiful, but the ceramic will help keep the dish hot. Squeeze a few drops of lemon juice on top, then drizzle with oil sauce, sprinkle some pepper, scallions, parsley on top, serve hot with crusty bread. Hai passionately. Freshly cooked shrimp, pink red; firm and sweet shrimp meat; Garlic olive sauce is ecstatic, hot spicy. And Sangria, how can there not be a glass of Sangria on the table with Tapas when summer comes! The book “A Little Taste of Spain” I still keep, even though it has long been no need to open it when cooking Tapas. Years after my first Tapas, for Christmas, I received a package from across the ocean, with no name from the sender. In it was a cookbook: “Spain – Mediterranian Cuisine” (“Spanish – Mediterranean Cuisine”). I saw the familiar little crabs crawling cautiously across the front page: “Merry Chrismast! Enjoy your New Harbor!” – (“Merry Christmas! Let’s have fun in the New Harbor!”) . Which new pier? I was suddenly bewildered. Where did my anchor go in the riverbed that sparkled with color that night? Time has pushed the windy little sail out to sea, encountering many unpredictable storms. New and old wharf. To my surprise, I found five faded business cards, with a faint crease in the middle, smoothed out, sandwiched between the pages of a book. The backs of all five cards are written the same, just two words: “Spanish food” . I laughed, but my eyes were suddenly wet. The old river wind blows back.

The fish market usually starts at more than 4 am and lasts until about 8 am. When coming to the beach at 5 o’clock, the market was bustling and full of people to buy, sell and work. The beauty of healthy labor every morning The market is located right next to the sea, about 500m long. On the beach are small traders and households who are displaying baskets and baskets of fresh fish. Just 5 minutes from the beach, fishing boats are full of seafood waiting for people to come and pick them up. The connection between traders on the white sand and fishermen on fishing boats is a fleet of small basket boats actively working. The men and boys, strong and tanned, swinging and hugging the basket boat with their feet in the sand, pushing the small boat through the strong white waves rushing into the sea. After about 3-4 waves hit by waves, the basket boat was gently floating and reaching far to the East thanks to human strength. The men will take a basket boat out to catch the fresh sea fish, then return to the shore. There were a whole school of fish still swimming in the basket, trying to find a way out. When landing and burying the bottom of the boat in the damp sand, the sisters and aunts excitedly competed with each other for square fish baskets that were iridescent in the sun. The most interesting thing that tourists can experience and explore here is watching the sea creatures still alive in the merchant’s fish basket. The bodies of the squids are a vivid picture of a kaleidoscope, the spots of black and purple flowers are constantly changing, iridescent under the yellow sun – something that cannot be observed when the ink has been stored for a long time or through preservation. The fish baskets are flashing like the “treasure” of the fishermen here. Nhan Trach Market is long, intense, bustling and full of charm. The beauty of labor on the smiling faces of the sisters and aunts and in the solid body tanned with the salty sea scent of men is the most sparkling thing every morning in the sea. Fairytale village Hiding behind the tall and dense casuarina trees, following the asphalt road covered with red soil deep inside, the new village of Nhan Trach appeared. It is known orally as Seoul village in Quang Binh by the solid and modern urban areas on the romantic golden sand dunes. Along with that, a part of the people here export labor to Korea and other countries, the inflow of money creates a dizzying change in the appearance of this place.

No one knows what the tunnel was for, but it certainly took a lot of hours of labor and the effort of a lot of people.We have a map of the area in 1863 but this house was not there at the time. There are also no other houses on the property. ” A lover of history, Machens said he wants to keep the mysteries of the past and present. The Machens hope to preserve the tunnel, and if the city or someone else helps with logistics and costs, the couple will open tours for visitors.
