Nikon produced cameras in 1948, leading the development of the industry together with Canon. Smart phones are equipped with multiple cameras to take high-quality photos, and people no longer need to carry cameras with them, which makes the camera market into a downturn. Nikon also plans to close two factories in Yamagata and Fukushima prefectures that are engaged in the processing of replacement lens parts for digital cameras. At present, the Sendai Nikon factory of Japan’s affiliated company only produces the top model D6 for professionals.
Previously, Nikon had three camera production bases located in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, Thailand, and China. However, with the popularity of smartphones, camera sales have been severely impacted. Nikon’s production base in Wuxi, Jiangsu has been closed in 2017. Now, after the shutdown of the camera production base in Sendai City, all Nikon camera production lines will be transferred to Thailand .

Nikon was founded in 1917. As a “century-year-old company”, Nikon has always been a representative company of “Made in Japan” and has been high hopes since its inception. Relying on its own technical experience in the optical field, from the beginning of imitating the German brand, it gradually moved towards completely self-developed and self-made, and even grew into a world-class camera giant through a series of innovations, and jointly monopolized the global high-end camera market with Canon and Zeiss. Nikon is one of the representative companies of precision and optical technology. Its business areas include four major business areas: healthcare, precision equipment, imaging products, and industrial metrology. In recent years, as the performance of smart phone cameras has improved, the digital camera market has shrunk significantly. According to the Japanese Camera and Imaging Machinery Industry Association, the output of cameras in 2020 is about 8.74 million units, which is about a quarter of that in 2015. According to the Nikkei News, Nikon accounts for nearly 30% of the Chinese camera market, but the entire camera market is shrinking. Under the influence of changes in the external market, the demand for small digital cameras in particular is declining. As mobile phone camera functions become more and more powerful, the demand for digital cameras continues to shrink, and its sales continue to decline after reaching its peak in 2010. CIPA data shows that in 2010, the sales volume of digital cameras exceeded 121 million units, and by 2020, the annual sales volume will only be 8.88 million units, which is not only a 41.6% decrease from the same period last year, but also a 92.7% decrease from 2010 sales, which is less than 1/10 of the peak. . In the update iteration of mobile phones, mobile phone cameras have become better than before. Nowadays, people can take 100 million pixel photos, their sharpness and image quality are very high. Not only that, the camera software can also automatically generate HDR images, and has portrait and night modes, which can mimic the effects of professional cameras. The camera industry is getting sluggish day by day, but many camera manufacturers choose to rise to the challenge and enter the mobile phone market directly. For example, Kodak produced its own camera phone in 2016. Leica, a German camera brand with a history of more than 120 years, chose to partner with Huawei as early as 2016. It is not difficult to see that the old brands in the camera industry are also changing their previous product models. In the future, the conventional size of smartphones may change to accommodate larger sensors, and they may even install different lenses. Today, with the rapid development of technology, mobile phone photography has become very convenient, and mobile phone pixels have been officially promoted from the “10 million” level to the “100 million” level, which is comparable to professional cameras. Today, the space left for digital cameras is getting smaller and smaller. It is often not your peers who defeat you, but the crossover!

The head anchor is also facing polarization.

Not long ago, the 31-year-old “Kaishou Brother” Simba made headlines in the media for reproducing amazing words in the live broadcast. He angrily denounced the unfairness of the platform, and revealed that a live broadcast had lost 20 million yuan, and he was squeezed to the point that he could not breathe. At this time, it has only been more than two months since his comeback-Simba had been banned for 60 days due to the fake bird’s nest incident.

On the other side, 36-year-old Wei Ya also encountered the embarrassment of “selling fakes.” Because the “Supreme brand co-branded products” sold in the live broadcast room were accused of copycats, Wei Ya and Qianxun Culture both apologized to consumers on Weibo. Immediately, Qianxun Culture, whose husband is the major shareholder of Wei Ya, was fined 530,000 yuan by the relevant authorities for advertising illegal activities.

But Wei Ya’s net worth is still growing. In May 2021, Wei Ya and her husband Dong Haifeng successfully entered the “2021 New Fortune 500 Rich List” with a wealth of 9 billion yuan. This 36-year-old “Taobao First Sister” has reached the height of wealth comparable to Tao Huabi, the founder of the 74-year-old Laoganma.

Even the former anchor brother and sister are inevitably plagued by the chaos of the live broadcast industry, as well as anxiety about traffic and popularity. They were fighting in the traffic dividends of live e-commerce, and they used to show off in their own prosperity, but when the public’s attention turned to more and more other Internet celebrities, with the continuous strengthening of supervision and the change of platform rules , Their “top stream” value is also being weakened.

It is increasingly difficult for the top anchors to make money. But they still held the “bargaining chips” and embarked on a different business path.

Simba and Kuaishou drift away Simba, who is not worrying, is causing trouble again for Kuaishou.

At the beginning of June, Simba suddenly lost control during a live broadcast of a mid-year big promotion. He fought against Kuaishou platform. He said that Kuaishou was short of money and crazy. He spent more than 2 billion to buy 86 million fans, and he had to pay for a live broadcast. More than 20 million yuan, and the flow was restricted by Kuaishou… Simba even let all the anchors under his own stand behind him to challenge Kuaishou.

Simba who offended Kuaishou also offended Douyin by the way. He believes that Douyin was the first to sell bird’s nests. Douyin used capital to manipulate public opinion, resulting in more than 50 negative hot searches after the bird’s nest sale incident.

Provoking two platforms in public at the same time. It is estimated that only Simba can do this kind of thing. “Everyone shouts and beats” has become a norm for him: In April 2020, Simba will live with another fast player. Big V Sanda brothers were banned from each other for three months; in October, he was criticized negatively during an event to protect the fans by scolding security.

But what really got him into trouble was the outbreak of the fake bird’s nest incident. In November last year, some consumers questioned that the bird’s nest sold in Simba’s apprentice live studio was sugar water. Although Simba insisted at the beginning that it was not a fake, Simba issued an apology in front of the real test report, and was subsequently banned from Kuaishou for 60 days and fined 900,000 yuan by the relevant authorities.

The image of Simba’s personal IP plummeted. In particular, Xin Xuan, which he created, emphasized that he had mastered a “new supply chain” and said that he would choose “good products with high cost performance” for users. However, at the early stage of the incident, Simba firmly denied that it was selling ” Fake bird’s nest”.

“Kai Shou made Simba, but it also made him a big tail.” Li Hao, the founder of Mars Culture & Cass Academy, told AI Finance and Economics. “Simba quickly became a super influencer by Kuaishou, but he did not pursue and The platform’s win-win situation, on the contrary, puts too much luck and the platform to support various factors, and understands that for personal efforts, I deserve it.”

But Ni Shu, a self-media person, has a different view on this, “the two sides are a cooperative relationship.”

The data shows that the Simba family is the top stream of Kuaishou live streaming. In 2019, Kuaishou live broadcast GMV was 40 billion to 45 billion yuan, while the GMV announced by the Simba team reached 13.3 billion yuan, contributing nearly 30%. According to data from the 618’s top talent list in 2020, Simba, Chu Ruixue, and Dandan Xiaopenyou in the Simba family dominate the top three, and family members occupy 6 seats in the top 10.

Simba’s live broadcast debut also proved his strength. On the night of his return, his unprecedented sales of 2 billion yuan set a new record. In just 7 hours, Simba’s social platform fans also exceeded 84 million from 64 million, which is close to a quarter of Kuaishou monthly active users based on data alone (the average daily active life of Kuaishou is 379.2 million in the first quarter of 2021).

Simba was completely immersed in his own honors, which became his arrogant capital in the past. “Kaishou, I hope you keep your eyes brighter. I am interested in most of the categories. I can mobilize the resources of the whole country. Please make good use of my skills and resources…” Last year with Sanda brothers After scolding each other and retiring from the Internet, Simba said so.

Rumor has it that Kuaishou founder and CEO Su Hua threatened to block it permanently at an internal meeting. To some extent, Simba kidnapped Kuaishou. He is subtly affecting users’ perceptions of Kuaishou e-commerce. When Kuaishou wants to do brand upgrades, supply chain upgrades and other actions, he will find a lot of resistance. , Because the super influencers on the platform are going in another direction to cultivate the habits and cognition of users.

“If Simba was just an anchor, there would be no difficulty.” Uncle Ni said, but the public underestimated the power of Xin Youzhi’s rigorous selection. “Simba’s wife Chu Ruixue used to be one of the top ten domestic micro merchants, and she has a lot of private domain traffic and WeChat resources.”

“It’s inevitable to’de-Simba’. No platform wants to be kidnapped by its own anchor.” Li Hao believes that if Kuaishou really wants to do it, it must be in an absolute dominant position. “Kaishou is still Kuaishou when he leaves Simba. It’s not necessarily Simba if you leave Kuaishou.”

In order to solve this headache problem, Kuaishou moves constantly. In July last year, Kuaishou invited Jay Chou to “break the circle”, and the highest number of simultaneous online people in a live broadcast reached 6.1 million. This year’s Spring Festival, Feigua data shows that Kuaishou will lead the goods list for seven days in 2021. The top five in the list are Grand Master Yu, Li Xuanzhuo (Jiu Xian), Kwai Er Yan Xuan, Wah, and Li Haizhen, without Simba.

At the same time, Kuaishou released a signal to support mid-waist anchors to the outside world. Zhang Yipeng, the person in charge of its e-commerce marketing center, once clearly stated to the media, “I may not be able to sell Simba, Li Jiaqi and Wei Ya with a mid-waist anchor. I will come with 10 anchors. With, the amount will definitely be larger than in the past.”

Even if he was not banned, Simba could no longer keep up with the evolution of the live broadcast. While the platform supports more vertical anchors and brand self-broadcasts, no one will want the next “Simba”.

The latest “Live E-commerce List” in May showed that a large number of fast-handed anchors represented by He Dongdong, Grand Young Master Yu, and Mr. Chen became the backbone of the May list. As for the Simba team, even Dandan earned 701 million yuan. His results won the first place in the fast hand, but compared to the previous pomp of the Simba team’s collective dominance of the list, the results are still slightly “dismal”.

The image of Simba is falling all the way, and Kuaishou is gradually completing the cut with Simba.

Wei Ya signs the anchor to be the boss When Simba was in constant trouble, another super anchor, Wei Ya, also fluctuated in the trust of users. But unlike Simba, Xin Xuan emphasizes the creation of a supply chain, highlighting Simba’s personal IP and strong personality, but the Wei Ya team has created more for her the role of a “professional woman” rather than a “female internet celebrity” .

“I never felt how popular I was.” This is the case with this strong woman who appeared in “Creation Camp 2020”, “Crossover Singer”, “CCTV Year of the Ox Spring Festival Gala”, “Tucao Conference” and other variety shows, as well as CCTV and local satellite TV. Say.

Compared with another head anchor Li Jiaqi, Wei Ya is better at using resources. This year’s “618” is a good example. A warm-up for the “Viya Carnival” invited Stefanie Sun, Junjie Lin, Huimei Zhang, etc. The top singer, Wei Ya only introduced the spike products and the “618” pre-sale list between the performances. That night, the Weibo topic #521薇娅欢乐节# had a reading volume of 1.22 billion and a discussion of 1.345 million.

Wei Ya also established a company, Qianxun (Hangzhou) Holding Co., Ltd., and her husband Dong Haifeng serves as the chairman of the board. In addition to the “top brand” Wei Ya under Qianxun Culture, there are also celebrity anchors Baibaitu, Teng Yujia, and celebrity anchors Lin Yilun, Li Jing, Haiqing, etc., covering all categories of beauty, life, clothing, etc., and the number of Taobao fans Ten million.

Dong Haifeng once revealed that in addition to more than 60 own anchors, Qianxun Culture also incubates anchors and brands, and builds its own supply chain system. At present, Qianxun Culture has quietly established Hangzhou anchor incubation base, Beijing star live broadcast base, Hangzhou super supply chain base, and Guangzhou supply chain base.

“At present, several major MCNs on the market want to do academy training. Qianxun is the first to recruit and train a bunch of anchors, sign them, and then sign the brand after finishing, let his anchor go to store broadcasting.” A Qianxun has no worries. The media staff told the AI ​​Finance and Economics Agency. In Dong Haifeng’s words, “Qianxun crossed the river by touching the stone Weiya.”

After the freedom of wealth, the news that Wei Ya and his wife entered the venture capital circle was also reported. Tianyancha APP shows that on January 28 this year, Qingdao Qianmiao Private Equity Fund Management Co., Ltd. was established with a registered capital of 10 million yuan. Its business scope includes private equity investment fund management and venture capital fund management services.

Wei Ya and his wife are committed to creating a “capital map”. But the process of capital expansion will not be smooth sailing. At the end of last year, Guangzhou Vimics Apparel Co., Ltd., where Wei Ya was a shareholder, was included in the list of business abnormalities, which once caused external discussion; Wei Yafang had to respond that this was due to the company’s relocation and failed to handle the address in time. Caused by the change procedures.

When Qianxun “crossed the river by touching Wei Ya”, Wei Ya herself must also face various questions about quality control audits and false propaganda. When there was a question about the “Supreme co-branded product”, Wei Ya first gave the e-commerce platform Xiaoer, and although she apologized to the public, she still did not explain the reason for the choice.

Unlike Wei Ya’s series of operations, Li Jiaqi does not have such big ambitions in business. He focuses more on the mining of personal IP. Even if he becomes a partner of his institution, it is not intentional. “Because Li Jiaqi can’t copy, our company can’t make another Li Jiaqi, so I became one of the company’s bosses.” Li Jiaqi once revealed in a live broadcast.

Simba has also continued to expand his business territory. He established “Xinxuan Investment” with a 95% shareholding ratio. But because of the collapse of his personal image, the companies associated with him are often implicated. For example, the starting shares of a listed company invested by Xin Xuan, because of the Simba “road closure” incident, the company’s stock price fell to the limit for two consecutive trading days, and the market value evaporated by nearly 1 billion yuan.

Take the goods and the anchor also eat youth rice Li Jiaqi once laughed at himself in an event: “Even if he speaks again, there will be a day when his voice is muted, and even if he is on fire now, there will be a day when he disappears.” He has a clear understanding of his industry. An iron platform, streamlined internet celebrities, and anchors are also a career that eats youthful meals.

In fact, the role played by the Internet celebrity economy in the live broadcast industry is also experiencing more contradictions. For example, anchors want to channel traffic to their own personal IP traffic pools through the platform, but for brands, they are increasingly not sure whether consumers place orders for people or for goods? The concessions offered by the brand owners to the real money and silver of the products have also become the credit for the anchor to win for the fans.

According to the data of the Wei Hotspot Big Data Research Institute, in the first quarter of 2021, in the total GMV list of live e-commerce anchors, Wei Ya personally contributed 7.15 billion yuan, Li Jiaqi contributed 4.5 billion yuan, Simba contributed 2.15 billion yuan, and the total GMV of three people Up to 13.8 billion yuan.

The head effect is significant, but data fraud and chaos emerge endlessly. Some media have reported that it only costs about 899 yuan to make a video with a million views in Kuaishou. In other words, the millions of popular anchors you see may have been bought.

Since the National Day last year, the supervision of live delivery of goods began to become stricter. In May of this year, the “strictest in industry history” laws and regulations were implemented, and all types of entities “before and behind the stage” and “online and offline” elements of live webcast marketing were all included in the scope of supervision.

At the same time, the cargo anchors are also facing the reality of reshaping the pattern and increasing competition in the industry. From 2017 to 2019, the market size of live broadcast e-commerce in my country increased by more than 20 times from 19 billion yuan to 433.8 billion yuan, and the penetration rate of live broadcast e-commerce increased from 0.3% to 4.1%. However, after the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, consumers watched live broadcasts to buy things. Enthusiasm began to fade.

“Being a live broadcast celebrity is not a long-term solution. Transformation is a matter of time. People only see the successful Via, but they don’t see the tens of thousands of Vias who have not rushed out and fell. There are so many amateur internet celebrities. The cycle is only one week or even several days.” An MCN operator told AI Finance and Economics.

From 2017 to 2019, the market size of live broadcast e-commerce in my country increased more than 20 times from 19 billion yuan to 433.8 billion yuan, and the penetration rate of live broadcast e-commerce increased from 0.3% to 4.1%. However, after the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, consumers watched live broadcasts to buy things. Enthusiasm began to fade.

“Being a live broadcast celebrity is not a long-term solution. Transformation is a matter of time. People only see the successful Via, but they don’t see the tens of thousands of Vias who have not rushed out and fell. There are so many amateur internet celebrities. The cycle is only one week or even several days.” An MCN operator told AI Finance and Economics.

As the brand spokesperson, Liu Yifei also brought surprises. She successfully challenged Qi Liuhai and the princess to cut the shape. In the short trailer, she has an indescribable sense of luxury and a sense of rebellion, accompanied by a gentle but sonorous voice. , The temperament mixed with sassy and sweet makes people want to stop.

The black and white painting style best suits the temperament of a princess, especially when Liu Yifei shows off her delicate hands wearing gold and silver. The ring and the green jade fingers complement each other, and the bracelet on the wrist points out the partner of the Tianxian’s trip.

Compared to black and white photos, photos with natural colors are more suitable for her fairy temperament. There should be no one who doesn’t like beauties with rich colors in various senses, right?

After a big show of the styling, Liu Yifei turned around and left the camera. The appearance of striding away with a bag in his hand was quite a light walk home from get off work, and the smile on his face couldn’t stop at all.

Breakthrough is commonplace. Liu Yifei used her strength to prove that beautiful women are competent in all styles. There is no need to repeat the costumes. Whether it is the original “Sculpture” or the current “Meng Hualu”, her style is impeccable.

During this period, Liu Yifei also appeared on the covers of many magazines. Among them, there was a keel braid with a “satisfaction”, and the appearance of raising his clothes was more handsome than most male stars in the circle.

In the cooperation with ELLE, Liu Yifei challenged the girl’s pink hair color. She was obviously a pirate tomboy, but she gave a playful and cute feeling. The band-aid on the bridge of her nose was the most expressive.

In “VOGUE”, Liu Yifei returns to the simplicity and uses the most common makeup to deduce different fashions. The real beauty is natural carving, and it is pleasing to the eye as long as it is placed there.

In addition to cooperating with the brand, Liu Yifei took the opportunity of attending many events and left a lot of beautiful looks. Among them, the most dazzling is her wearing a “spring purple cherry cake dress”.

Whether it is the refined pictures produced by the studio or the photos taken with fans in offline activities, there is something remarkable. Liu Yifei, who switches naturally in the cold and cordial temperament, has a special charm.

In her free time, Liu Yifei has a passion for listening to songs, teasing cats, and tasting wine, which enriches the flesh and blood of the “Tianxian Frame”. The most prominent is the word “effort”, because this was taken by Liu Yifei when she finished working at three o’clock in the morning.

Don’t be afraid of being talented, but working hard even if you are talented Liu Yifei, who gave food to the gods, worked harder than ordinary people. His level of excellence is self-evident. It is reasonable for many people to like it and look forward to a better god.

First of all, the fairy’s forehead contour is quite beautiful, the facial features are exquisite, and the advantages are unique. But a princess cut her hair, covering her forehead and facial contours. Although the princess’s tailoring style is indifferent and elegant, it makes the fairy’s delicate facial features feel wasted, and the natural beauty completely loses its advantage.

In addition, Liu Yifei is born with a face value online, which is highly recognized and absolutely unique. However, the hair cut by the possessed princess was superfluous and made her lose her unique style. If you don’t look carefully, it is really possible to recognize her as Yang Mi at a glance. She was pretty in the first place, so her face value was sealed. Some netizens even think that Liu Yifei’s face value of 100 points is now only 80 points.

In addition to today’s princess cut style, Liu Yifei has also challenged many other styles, from the second-level pink hair, to the ancient purple jade, to the future female warrior, it is really a breakthrough from the previous fairy style. Liu Yifei’s challenging spirit is commendable, but from an aesthetic point of view, it is a pity that the fairy sister’s beauty has been lost. The beauty of this flourishing age is hidden outside the true beauty, only Xiao Xiao’s feeling.

Look at the TV series “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” by Liu Yifei. The little dragon girl in the show has beautiful hair, white hair, big eyes and aura, fresh and white cheeks, and a long skirt. Show Liu Yifei’s exquisite beauty to the extreme.

The trailer of “Menghualu” recently released has not yet been broadcast, and it has attracted numerous attentions. Inside, Liu Yifei’s bun was curled up high, her nose was raised high, and her smile was raised, showing a fairy spirit, which truly restored Liu Yifei’s true beauty.

It seems that Liu Yifei with exquisite features is more beautiful, smarter and more refined. Her fairy temperament may not really suit the cool style.

I don’t know what Liu Yifei’s next look will be.

A girl posted on the social networking group “praying for help” to netizens: “My husband challenged me to go to the market with 40K and cook 3 dishes of dinner.

The combination of the two is beautiful and sassy. The gauze skirt is still a tube top style. If you look closely, you can see the looming career line. The leather cuffs add long strap elements, which is full of personality. There is also a black wide felt hat, worn diagonally, elegant and casual, and there are many silver rings on the hand, similar to the style of the nose stud.

Leather boots are also a queen-like single product. With split skirts, they are sexy and cool. The front splits just reveal the entire high boots. They are longer than normal styles and are worn to the thighs. The little black dress is a tight-fitting split design, and a black feather top is added.

The Chinese spokesperson stated that Japan must reach a consensus of all concerned before proceeding with the discharge.

Mr. Zhao also warned: “China has the right to make follow-up reactions.”

The amount of radioactive water is increasing by about 140 tons per day, is currently stored in more than 1,000 tanks and is expected to run out of storage space by next fall.

Japanese Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide said the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and other third parties will be involved in the plan, ensuring the discharge of treated wastewater in Fukushima into the sea is carried out. transparent way.

In a recent statement, the IAEA confirmed to support this decision, because radioactive elements, except tritium, will be removed from the water or reduced to a safe level before being discharged. The IAEA has also shown that nuclear plants around the world use a similar process to treat wastewater.

However, Japan’s discharge has met with opposition from fishing communities in this country as well as concerns from neighboring countries such as China and South Korea.

South Korea expressed “serious concern” that the Japanese decision would have a direct and indirect impact on the safety of its people and the surrounding marine environment.

South Korea urged Japan to provide more information on its wastewater discharge and said it would measure and monitor the radiation itself.
