Not long ago, Yao Anna showed up at the airport. Her low-key dress and her head-to-toe full-arms made her really unrecognizable. The whole body of casual wear and domestic products also made Yao Anna’s appearance this time. Finally was praised once.

Three-piece layered wear

In addition to being low-key, Anna Yao’s overall airport style has many things that everyone can learn from. We often emphasize that the most important thing about clothing is the expression of layering, and the layering is mainly through the number of clothes. The matching and colors to show.

Anna Yao chose a common three-piece suit this time, T-shirt and shorts on the inside plus a matching jacket on the outside , Is our most common three-piece collocation, but the common wear has a very fashionable and handsome feeling, mainly because of the obvious level of change in the style and color matching.

Style

First of all, in terms of style, Jacket+inner+trousers Basically, it is the basis of wearing a three-piece suit. If you want to wear a different feeling on the basis, you need to show the highlights in the details. The layering of the T-shirt and jacket in Yao Anna just reveals a little Cutting off the hem of the T-shirt visually makes the three-piece suit a richer change. colour The layering of colors is reflected by different colors, but although the colors are different, the inner relationship must be obvious enough so that the color of the whole body will not look particularly messy. Yao Anna’s look is a darker look in the overall color system. The navy blue of the jacket and the black of the pants. The similar color sense makes the overall color system obvious in the general direction. A sense of unity. At the same time, in accessories, whether it is the hat on her head, the shoes on her feet or the bag on her shoulders, they are all black like the pants, which makes the splicing of big colors obvious. The primary and secondary relationship. In terms of details, the creamy white on the inside of the T-shirt and the white printed pattern on the chest of the jacket have a consistent matching effect between the inside and the outside. Such local highlights play a finishing touch in the overall color matching. The importance of accessories Although Yao Anna’s outfits are full of details and a sense of uniformity, if there is no embellishment of accessories, the overall shape will not have a fashionable taste. We generally put Shoes, bags, hats, jewelry These are collectively referred to as accessories… The role of accessories is to amplify the overall style, so in Yao Anna’s casual wear, the fisherman’s hat and the black boots under her feet have the effect of increasing the fashion sense of the overall style, and the shoulders are back. The bag you are wearing makes the lazy feeling of the whole body more obvious and comfortable, and the consistency of the colors of these accessories has become the finishing touch of the whole body, giving the three accessories a sense of integration. , Matched with the three-piece suit on the body, it gives a lot of sense of harmony and unity.

Since the third quarter of 2020, the panel industry has ushered in the strongest price increase cycle in history. From the end of May 2020 to April 2021, the growth rates of 32/43/55/65-inch TV panels were 141%/91%/100%/56% respectively. At the same time, the problem of upstream chip shortages continues, and to a certain extent, the increase in panel growth has also intensified.

According to a recent study by Goldman Sachs, there are as many as 169 industries in the world that are affected to some extent by the shortage of chips, ranging from automobiles, steel products, concrete production to air-conditioning manufacturing, and even soap production.

How do you view the trend of the panel industry this year? How to solve the problem of chip shortage? How should companies travel through the cyclical fluctuations of the industry? Sohu think tank “To Know 100 People” talked with TCL founder and chairman Li Dongsheng.

Li Dongsheng said that this round of panel price increases was mainly caused by the strong growth in demand for display products since the epidemic and the cyclical fluctuations in the industry. The current shortage of supply and demand is mainly concentrated on large-size products, and the supply of small and medium-sized products is relatively sufficient. It is expected that a basic balance of supply and demand can be achieved within this year. Li Dongsheng pointed out that in the past ten years, the entire display industry has experienced two cyclical fluctuations, and now it is the third time. For enterprises, it is necessary to have the ability to operate and manage through industry cycle fluctuations. In the management through this cycle, one aspect of the company must have strategic control capabilities, and the other must rely on improving its own core capabilities, especially product technical capabilities. “The development of the semiconductor display industry is not just driven by market demand, but also driven by innovation. So for TCL, we are constantly expanding our production capacity, but every increase in production capacity is not simple. The expansion of scale must make progress in the iterative upgrade of products.” Li Dongsheng said. Talking about the shortage of chips, Li Dongsheng believes that there are two main reasons. One is the rapid growth of the demand side, especially the rapid development of the electric vehicle market, and the other is the insufficient new investment on the supply side. Although the investment has increased rapidly in the past two years , But it still takes time to form an effective production capacity. Li Dongsheng predicts that the current chip shortage will continue for 9 to 12 months. In Li Dongsheng’s view, the development of the chip industry is not just about having funds, but also related to technical capabilities. The lack of domestic high-end chip manufacturing capabilities and the lack of core equipment are currently the bottleneck restricting the development of the chip industry. Facing the technological blockade, China is increasing its investment in equipment, technology, and materials to accelerate the development of China’s chip integrated circuit manufacturing industry. “But everyone should not have too optimistic expectations about this process. I believe it will take at least 3 to 5 years.” Finally, Li Dongsheng pointed out, In the long run, the science and technology industry must have a global division of labor. It is not the most competitive method for a country to fully complete its industrial chain behind closed doors. In the future, we must be more open and win-win cooperation to better promote the healthy development of the industry. TCL founder and chairman Li Dongsheng The following is a compilation of interviews: Sohu Finance: You once said that globalization is a sustainable way for companies to cope with changes in the global economic landscape and the new challenges of trade protectionism. What is the current progress of TCL’s global layout? Can you share a few successful experiences of TCL in expanding the international market? Li Dongsheng: TCL has initially formed a complete global industrial layout. We have established eight industrial bases in major overseas countries and regions. In the near future, our ninth industrial base in India will also be built. We have established industrial supply chains around the world so that our industrial supply chains can penetrate into major countries and regional markets. One is that tariffs and trade protectionism can be avoided, and this new business model can also be recognized and recognized by the host country. stand by. We do not simply sell products to relevant countries and regions, but set up our industrial parks locally and establish corresponding supply chains. In this way, while developing our own global business, we can also contribute to the local social and economic development. So this kind of business model has been developing smoothly in all countries and regions so far. Sohu Finance: Starting from the third quarter of 2020, the panel industry has ushered in the strongest price increase cycle in history. How do you see the trend of the panel industry this year? Li Dongsheng: China is now the world’s leading producer of semiconductor display products. Taking the LCD industry as an example, we have accounted for more than half of the global production capacity. In other emerging display technology areas, we are also catching up quickly. This round of panel price increases is affected by the cyclical effects of the industry on the one hand, and during the epidemic, the demand for display products has grown very strongly. The current cycle of relatively tight supply may continue for a while, but in the end it will tend to balance supply and demand. The current supply and demand shortage of semiconductor display products is mainly concentrated in large-size products, and the supply of small and medium-sized products is still sufficient. China’s semiconductor display production capacity has been relatively large in investment in the past few years, so to alleviate this gap in supply and demand, it should be possible to achieve a basic balance between supply and demand within this year. Sohu Finance: How do you think companies should travel through the cyclical fluctuations of the industry? Li Dongsheng: For enterprises, we need to have a long-term business plan, and have the ability to operate and manage through industry cycle fluctuations. In the past ten years, the entire display industry has experienced two cyclical fluctuations, and now it is the third time. In the management through this cycle, one aspect of the company must have strategic control capabilities, and the other must rely on improving its own core capabilities, especially product technical capabilities. The development of the semiconductor display industry is not just driven by a force of market demand, another very important driving force comes from Driven by innovation . The development of some new display technologies and display products will create a new market demand. So for TCL, we are constantly expanding our production capacity, but Every increase in production capacity is not a simple scale expansion, it must be progress in the iterative upgrade of products. The two projects we started building in Guangzhou recently are a new attempt. We want to make a breakthrough in new display technology and open up a new market demand. Sohu Finance: How do you view the problem of chip shortage and how much impact will it have on TCL? Li Dongsheng: Chip supply has indeed been in short supply since last year, I think It is mainly caused by the rapid growth on the demand side and the insufficient growth on the supply side. On the demand side, especially with the development of electric vehicles, the demand for related chips is growing very fast. On the supply side, due to insufficient investment in the entire chip industry in the past few years, although domestic investment has increased relatively rapidly in the past two years, it will take some time to form effective production capacity. I think, The current chip shortage may continue for 9 to 12 months, but in the end it will be faster to balance. . The chip industry is actually divided into two parts, one is chip design, and the other is chip manufacturing. TCL will focus on chip design. At this stage, we will not consider investing in large-scale wafer manufacturing plants for the time being. As a terminal product manufacturer, we have an advantage in chip design. In fact, in the development of many smart technologies, it will integrate this technology into the chip, so if we have the capability of this chip, we will be even more powerful in the development of related smart product technologies. Sohu Finance: What do you think is the biggest dilemma in the development of the chip industry? Li Dongsheng: The bottleneck in the development of the chip industry, I think one is the accumulation of capabilities, and the other is the lack of core equipment. At present, the manufacturing process capability, technology and team capability of domestic chips are still far behind compared with Taiwan, South Korea, the United States, and Japan. Therefore, the construction of this project is not only about funds, but also related to technical capabilities. The second is limited by equipment. At present, some core equipment for chips cannot be produced in China. Everyone may have paid attention to many reports on the Internet. For example, SMIC’s current production process is 28 nanometers. If you go forward, the equipment will not be sold to us abroad, and the domestic development of this equipment, I believe It takes a relatively long time, so the manufacturing capacity of this higher-end chip is also a constraint. However, this round of technological blockade of China will promote China’s equipment, technology, or materials, we will increase investment in this area, and will accelerate the development of China’s chip integrated circuit manufacturing industry. But this process should not be too optimistic. I believe it will be a process of at least 3 to 5 years. Therefore, in the long run, the science and technology industry must have a global division of labor. It is not the most competitive method for a country to completely complete its industrial chain behind closed doors. Some of the current practices are also forced by the situation. Therefore, in the future development, we still need to have a more open mind and a win-win mentality to better promote the healthy development of the industry

Corona crisis Further help for business in sight

Status: 06/18/2021 5:51 p.m.

The states are urging to continue Corona aid for companies until the end of the year – Federal Minister of Economics Altmaier indicated readiness. Support for domestic exporters has already been extended. There are signs of an extension of the corona aid for companies that have been particularly hard hit by the pandemic. The economics ministers of the federal states demanded that the funds previously planned until the end of September be continued until the end of the year. The federal government pays the previous “Bridging Aid III”.

Extension after the summer break if necessary

Federal Minister of Economics Peter Altmaier (CDU) made it clear after a meeting with his country ministerial colleagues that he is not averse to an extension. One will look at the situation and, if necessary, extend the help after the summer break. The corona aid only applies to companies that can demonstrate a sharp drop in sales and can trace them back to the pandemic. As the economy is currently picking up again and more business is being done again, the number of companies eligible to apply is falling.

Altmaier: So far, 105 billion euros have been transferred

So far, a total of 105 billion euros have been transferred to companies as corona aid, said Altmaier. Roughly half of these are loans and half are grants that do not have to be repaid. In addition, there is money from the federal states. According to Altmaier, the state support has paid off: “Together we managed to prevent a loss of substance in the German economy.”

Against the background of the lower number of infections and the lifting of restrictions, Altmaier said the economy was “coming to a new start faster than many feared”. Growth is picking up – this year it will be 3.5 to 4 percent and in 2022 it will be more than 4 percent. The economy will have reached pre-crisis levels by spring 2022 at the latest. “That means, we are hopefully out of the worst,” said the CDU politician. When the bridging aid, which ran until the end of June, was extended by three months as “bridging aid III plus”, he was in any case in favor of continuing it until the end of the year.

Aid to exporters continues

Meanwhile, the corona aid for domestic exporters has already been extended until the end of the year. They were decided in July 2020 and should actually end this month. “Even if the economic situation has improved significantly in the past few months, the corona pandemic continues to pose challenges for the export industry,” the Ministry of Economics justified the decision. “Some companies are only now feeling the stresses with a delay.”

“Security signal” to the economy

North Rhine-Westphalia’s Minister of Economic Affairs, Andreas Pinkwart, spoke out in favor of continuing to support sectors such as the trade fair industry. After all, they would “presumably not yet be able to work in the fourth quarter in the way they normally would at normal times”. In addition, the FDP politician considers the extension of the bridging aid to be a good precaution for possible rising incidences in autumn. Then you would “not have to put on a new program from the hip”, but would have already been prepared. Saarland’s Minister of Economic Affairs, Anke Rehlinger, considers the prospect of the extension of the aid to be “a protective signal” to the economy. “We have to take care of the industries that are still suffering from the pandemic.” She stressed that the time should be used to prepare for all eventualities in autumn and winter. Should one be forced to make restrictions again because of the pandemic, there could be “other, smarter measures” that would take into account aspects such as a high vaccination rate.

Situation in trade fair industry “catastrophic”

The corona pandemic hit large parts of the German economy hard. In the meantime, things are looking a little better again, also because restrictions have been relaxed and restaurants and cafes are open again, for example. However, the situation in some sectors such as the trade fair industry is still very tense.

Jörn Holtmeier, managing director of the trade fair association AUMA, described the situation in his branch as “catastrophic”. The first industry get-togethers would take place again in September, but the number of trade fairs until the end of the year was clear. There have been many rejections. “If a stand builder finally gets another order for his first trade fair in November or December, but then does not receive any more money from the state in October, this can extremely worsen the already tense financial situation of his company.” Then company bankruptcies are possible. It is mainly about stand builders, caterers and private trade fair organizers. Exhibition companies that belong to municipalities and the state are not entitled to federal corona aid.

Around 231,000 employees

Holtmeier is also in favor of extending the aid until the end of the year. This was just a safety net, he said. “Some companies will get orders again beforehand and make sales, they will not have to use the help.”

According to AUMA, Germany’s trade fair industry has around 231,000 employees. This not only includes organizers and stand builders, but also companies with a strong trade fair business – a hotel, for example, which does most of its business with trade fair visitors, is proportionately included in the number of employees. Since March 2020, according to the Ifo Institute, the crisis in the trade fair industry has led to economic damage of an estimated 40 billion euros: Dealers could no longer buy anything at the industry get-togethers, and there were no more visitors who would spend money on restaurant visits, hotel stays or taxi rides

In fact, new technology is becoming the key for mobile phone manufacturers to seize the market. Judging from the new models released by major mobile phone brand manufacturers recently, folding screen phones with novel appearances have become the main line of smart phone hardware innovation. For more than 10 years, the iPhone has defined the overall shape and style of smartphones, but it is clear that people have become a little tired of continuing the same shape for many years. For the folding mobile phone that most tests the technical strength of the mobile phone manufacturer, who can make the folding screen mobile phone from an expensive financial product to a product that can effectively improve the user’s efficiency will undoubtedly bring a halo effect to the mobile phone manufacturer. The new era of mobile phone form: folding screen A few days ago, China Mobile Terminal Laboratory’s “The Second Phase of 5G Terminal Consumption Trend Report in 2020” showed that the frequency of mobile phone users in China is further extending, reaching an average of 25.3 months. In the PC era, there is a law that software promotes the continuous development of hardware, and the early mobile phone market also followed this law. But with the general improvement in quality control and mediocre innovation, this law has begun to fail during the bottleneck period of the industry, and many people have no urge to change to a new mobile phone. The turning point occurred with the emergence of folding phones. Folding and stretching, craftsmanship is exquisite, who doesn’t want to have a folding phone? Many organizations believe that folding screens will become a major trend in the development of the smart phone market in the future. According to IHS Markit’s forecast, the global folding screen market shipments in 2020 will reach nearly 5.2 million units, and it is expected to exceed 50 million units in 2025, with a compound growth rate of about 57% from 2020 to 2025. With the rapid rise in the popularity of folding screen mobile phones, more and more mobile phone manufacturers have begun to enter the game. In February 2020, Samsung released the Z Flip, its second folding screen mobile phone. In terms of design, it uses a fold up and down method. When the screen is fully unfolded, it is a 6.7-inch screen; On February 22 this year, Huawei also iterated its new product folding screen mobile phone-Huawei Mate X2. Compared with the previous two generations, it has a major change in appearance design. It adopts an internal folding screen design scheme. The inner screen is a flexible screen with a golden ratio of 8:7.1, with a size of 8.01 inches. From the timeline, although Samsung and Huawei’s folding screen phones have been “debut” for 2 years, the million-level shipments still remain in the niche group early adopters, largely because of their high cost. price. IHS has compared Samsung’s folding mobile phone with the flagship phone released at the same time and found that the increased raw material cost is mainly reflected in the display, hinge, motherboard PCB, battery, chip and other components. “Taking the comparison between Samsung Galaxy Fold and Galaxy S10+ as an example, the total cost has increased by 30%. Among them, due to the increase of the display screen area, the BOM cost of the display screen of the Galaxy Fold has increased by 77% compared with the Galaxy S10+; while the battery and the hinge are zero. The cost of components has increased by 120%, and the cost of PCB has increased by 14%. Not only that, due to the dual-mainboard design of folding mobile phones, the consumption of chips, FPC, metal structural parts, electromagnetic shielding parts, etc. will also be greatly increased.” However, in April this year, Xiaomi came to change the folding screen industry. The first sale breaks 400 million in one minute; it has been folded for 180 hours and has been folded 400,000 times in a row…The Xiaomi MIX FOLD folding screen with a price of less than 10,000 yuan releases a strong signal to the outside world through a series of data: folding The machine may no longer be a toy for a few people. It is also worth mentioning that Apple, which is absent from the folding screen market, is also actively developing folding screen products. Earlier, there were media reports that Apple is studying a technology that enables two or more devices to work together when they are close. This technology can create a foldable iPhone that does not bend the screen. According to the document description, Apple’s folding technology uses two completely independent screens, which can be used as a display when unfolded. “We predict that if Apple can solve the key technology and mass production problems of folding mobile devices in 2021, Apple may launch a 7.5-8 inch foldable iPhone in 2023.” Tianfeng Securities, well-known Apple analyst Guo Ming Z, announced Wrote in the research report. With more and more mainstream mobile phone manufacturers launching new folding mobile phones, senior industry insiders believe that in the future, folding screen mobile phones are expected to accelerate from a “niche” to popularization. Folding screens are approaching the cost and reliability explosion cycle Even if it is becoming a trend, compared with ordinary mobile phones, folding screen mobile phones still face greater problems in terms of screen, cover, hinge, touch, cost, and software matching. Founder Securities once pointed out that “folding screen hinges use more than 100 components, which have the characteristics of high complexity, high folding life requirements, and high product reliability requirements.” And Everbright Securities stated that the hinges of folding mobile phones must ensure that the mobile phone is folded. Keep a certain R angle after opening, and keep it flat after opening, and it also needs to withstand more than 100,000 folding tests, which is very difficult for research and development. As early as February 2019, Samsung was the first to release the Galaxy Fold, a folding screen phone. However, due to black screen, splash screen, and screen bumps, Samsung delayed the global sales date of this $1,980 product. It was a big setback for Samsung. Although the Huawei Mate X did not reveal any quality problems when it went public, the lack of mass production has caused it to be in a state of “difficult to find a single machine” for a long time. A Mate X on the second-hand market was once fired up to RMB 8 to 90,000. After redesigning the Galaxy Fold and officially launching it on the market, Samsung officially announced that its own product can be folded 200,000 times. However, according to the screen folding test conducted by SquareTrade, which purchased the product, the hinge lost 98% after folding 119,380 times. The damping sense, half of the screen stops working. Huawei did not disclose the specific number of times its new folding mobile phone Mate X2 has been folded. Whether folding screens can be popularized, the core lies in two aspects: cost and reliability. From the current mobile phone manufacturers, Xiaomi is very likely to become a promoter of folding screen mobile phones. First of all, compared with other expensive folding phones, the price of Xiaomi MIX FOLD is obviously very cost-effective. Why can the price be lowered below 10,000 yuan? This is inseparable from the smart factory built by Xiaomi in Beijing Yizhuang. This smart factory called “Black Light Factory” covers an area of ​​18,600 square meters and is equipped with a “full-process automated production line from production management to machine processing, packaging and storage. It is capable of producing more than one million smartphones each year. The folding screen MIX FOLD is also produced in this factory. According to Lei Jun, the Xiaomi Industry Fund has invested in more than 70 semiconductor and smart manufacturing companies. What Xiaomi will do in the future is “manufacturing by manufacturing” to help more manufacturing companies realize smart manufacturing. Secondly, in terms of technical reliability, the U-shaped hinge design adopted by Xiaomi MIX FOLD is very precise and tough. It has not only passed 200,000 bending reliability tests, but also has a limit of 1 million folding times. In order to further verify the folding ability of Xiaomi MIX FOLD, Lei Jun also arranged a live broadcast last month, using mechanical devices to open and close a Xiaomi MIX FOLD continuously and violently for 24 hours, and all netizens can watch the progress at any time. After 7 days of challenge, Xiaomi MIX FOLD has completed 400,000 folding times, which is equivalent to a 10-year life span in normal use. Stand out from the competition. The high-end leap of Chinese mobile phones under the folding screen In recent years, domestic mobile phone manufacturers have led the world in technological innovation. Take Xiaomi as an example: the first under-screen camera, under-screen fingerprint recognition, 120W fast charge…Every time the “black technology” is released, it leads the technological trend of the mobile phone circle. . But from a long-term perspective, the core technology investment related to chips can help brands build long-term growth capabilities. After Huawei, it is generally believed that almost no domestic mobile phones can participate in the high-end competition between Apple and Samsung. Recently, affected by trade frictions and other factors, my country has frequently encountered serious problems of “stuck necks” in the semiconductor field. The independence and controllability has aroused great attention and reflection of the whole society, and domestic substitution has become a necessity. But as we all know, the chip industry pursues the three high laws: high risk, high input, and high output, and there is a huge demand for funds. Judging from the current situation, Xiaomi is second only to Huawei in the future-leading folding screen field and high-end market, and is currently the only domestic mobile phone manufacturer capable of independent research and development of chips. Earlier, a lot of noise from the outside world questioned that Xiaomi’s self-developed chips were in a difficult production, but Lei Jun publicly responded that Xiaomi’s road to core making has never stopped. 2021 is the seventh year of Xiaomi’s core dream. In this year, Xiaomi’s second commercial self-developed chip, the surging C1 (image signal processing chip ISP), is again used in its own products. If SoC is the brain of the mobile phone, then the ISP is the visual nerve center of the mobile phone, which plays a vital role in imaging quality. It is reported that the surging C1 was completed by Xiaomi in 2 years and invested hundreds of millions of R&D expenses. The 3A algorithm, low-light focusing ability and image quality have been improved, which can bring more accurate auto white balance, auto focus, auto exposure and Image quality. At the same time, the world’s first liquid lens adopted by Xiaomi MIX FOLD can achieve 3X optical zoom, up to 30X telephoto, and 3cm macro focus more easily. Although it is only a small chip, it is worth mentioning that the ISP technology content is not small. Xiaomi is the only two domestic mobile phone manufacturers that produce self-developed ISPs. Lei Jun said, “This surging C1 is a small step on the road of Xiaomi’s chip and a milestone in Xiaomi’s imaging technology. To provide users with a better experience, we continue to explore, and the surging waves never stop.” All of this is inseparable from Xiaomi’s investment in research and development. The financial report shows that in 2020, Xiaomi’s research and development has reached 9.3 billion yuan. The company said that it will continue to increase investment in various technologies in the future. At the same time, Lei Jun stated in the “Open Letter to Investors” that Xiaomi has established the “three iron laws” that will never change: technology-based, cost-effectiveness as the key link, and the coolest products. “In 2020, our R&D investment will be close to 10 billion. This year we expect to increase by more than 30%, which is expected to exceed 13 billion yuan. We will further expand the size of our R&D team. This year we will recruit more than 5,000 engineers.” Through Xiaomi’s series of layouts, it can be seen that Xiaomi is embarking on an original path to master more independent core technologies. When the fierce battle among manufacturers is going on, who can become the next leader in the high-end market remains to be discussed in the market, but Xiaomi is full of hope.

Shen Yiren said that mobile phone companies are aggressively increasing inventories because they worry about component shortages and increase inventories aggressively. Since the fourth quarter of last year, the global chip supply caused by automobile chips has been tight and has spread to the mobile phone chip industry. By the first quarter of this year, even the mobile phone chip giant Qualcomm said that it was facing a tight production capacity, and many domestic mobile phone companies have stocked up.

Another reason for domestic mobile phone companies to increase inventory is the decline of Huawei mobile phones. Since the fourth quarter of last year, Huawei mobile phones have mainly relied on stock chips to operate. Its shipments have gradually declined, and shipments in the domestic market have increased in the first quarter of this year. Compared with the same period last year, while the shipments of Xiaomi OV have increased significantly, mobile phone companies may think that they can occupy the market if they have production capacity.

Once again, mobile phone companies expect to enter the year of 5G popularization this year. 5G mobile phones will become the absolute mainstream of the smartphone market. Technology upgrades will help promote mobile phone sales. 4G has changed the pattern of the domestic mobile phone market. The opportunity to live in 4G has laid the current pattern, and for this reason they hope to seize the opportunity of 5G to consolidate their market position.

Just as the mobile phone companies are overly optimistic about the domestic mobile phone market, the market has hit them with a sap. According to data released by the Institute of Information and Communications Technology, the Chinese market shipped 22.968 million mobile phones in May, down 32% year-on-year. The Chinese mobile phone market is in a downturn and consumers lack the desire to buy mobile phones.

Among them, the performance of 5G mobile phones that mobile phone companies have high expectations is also unsatisfactory. 5G mobile phone shipments in May were 16.739 million units, an increase of 7% year-on-year, but compared to the peak of 27.498 million 5G mobile phone shipments in March this year, it fell by more than 10 million. Department or 39.1%. Another data shows that iPhone shipments in May soared more than 40% month-on-month to 3.8 million units, which means that the market share of domestic Android phones has been further squeezed.

The sluggish domestic mobile phone market is also related to the continuous price increase of domestic mobile phone brands. Today, domestic mobile phone brands are priced at nearly 1,000 yuan for low-end 5G phones, which is twice as expensive as 4G phones, as low as 500 yuan; high-end phones have broken through 3,000 yuan and 4,000 yuan. , Even more than 6,000 yuan, but as mentioned above, consumers prefer the iPhone when buying high-end mobile phones, driving the surge in iPhone sales while the overall sales of domestic mobile phones have fallen, and the price increase of domestic mobile phones has made the iPhone.

The domestic mobile phone market is in a downturn, especially the sales of 5G mobile phones have not continued to rise. This is undoubtedly a major blow to domestic mobile phone brands that are actively stocking. They all hope to clear their inventory during the 618 promotion period. However, domestic consumers are tired of promotional routines. Looking at 618 coldly, the dream of mobile phone companies hoping to rely on 618 to clear inventory is not satisfactory. Perhaps this is why Shen Yiren believes that the inventory of domestic mobile phone brands may have to be cleared until this year’s Double Eleven.

In the face of huge inventory pressure, domestic mobile phone brands have been promoting in other ways, such as student prices and other ways to greatly reduce prices. If inventory pressure cannot be released, they are likely to continue to reduce prices significantly in the future, so consumers who Shen Yiren said can wait. It makes sense to wait. The iPhone 13 will come in a few months. The domestic high-end mobile phones cannot compete with the iPhone 12. When the price of the iPhone 12 is further reduced, the domestic Android flagship will not be able to clear the inventory without jumping off the property.

Ho Chi Minh City continues to record many Covid-19 cases. Specifically, 2 cases of Covid-19 were isolated immediately after entering An Giang; 76 cases were recorded domestically in Ho Chi Minh City (46), Bac Giang (20), Bac Ninh (7), Nghe An (3); in which 71 cases were detected in isolation or blockade areas.

According to data from the Prospective Industry Research Institute, from the perspective of the proportion of sports brands at home and abroad, from 2010 to 2019, among the top 20 brands in terms of market share, the penetration rate of foreign brands is on the rise, while the penetration rate of domestic brands is on the decline. However, outstanding local brands represented by Li Ning, Anta, and Xtep are accelerating their rise.

SKECHERS China, South Korea and Southeast Asia CEO Chen Weili said in an interview with Sohu Business School “Achieving 100 People” that international brands have two advantages. The first is that the market is open to the whole world, and the supply chain is stronger. Second, product sales are more stable, with sales channels reaching more than 100 countries.

“but The advantage of domestic brands is to understand China, this advantage is very powerful . To this day, I don’t think I understand China. “Chen Weili said frankly.

In his opinion, the founders of Anta and Li Ning were both born in China, and he has only been in China for more than a decade. Although I am also working hard to understand China, the depth is still not enough. Therefore, multinational companies must use Chinese thinking to manage their companies.

Talking about the future, Chen Weili said, After the epidemic, all industries must be shuffled, Because consumer preferences have changed. But the reshuffle of the sports industry is not too obvious . However, some brands will have operational and inventory pressure, which is also an opportunity for brands, and they have the opportunity to occupy more market shares.

He said that under the epidemic, All brands are looking for new outlets and growth points, which are helpful to the improvement of the entire industry. Only by continuing to abide by laws and regulations operating in China, strengthening corporate governance, and being a brand that respects China and that Chinese consumers love, can there be more lasting development.

Zhong Xuegao is a Chinese ice cream brand that has emerged in recent years. It is known as the “Hermes of the ice cream industry”. At the same time, its high price of at least 16 yuan has also been questioned by netizens.

Recently, in the program “I Asked People”, Lin Sheng, the founder of Zhong Xuegao, said: “Zhong Xuegao’s gross profit is actually slightly higher than that of traditional cold drink companies. The most expensive one has sold for 66 yuan, and the cost of the product is It’s about 40 yuan. It’s at that price. Do you like it. Even if I sell it at cost, or even sell it at half the price, some people will say it’s too expensive. Making ice cream also requires machinery, water, electricity, coal, raw materials, and labor costs. The cost must continue to rise.”

It is worth noting that Zhong Xuegao was punished by the Market Supervision Bureau for repeated false propaganda.

In 2019, Zhong Xuegao was punished by an administrative penalty of RMB 33,000 for publishing false advertisements. A product he sold online promoted “pure bovine frankincense without adding a drop of water.” After verification, the ice cream product ingredient list clearly contained drinking Water composition.

In June 2020, Zhong Xuegaoqi advertised on the page of selling product “red ice cream” that “does not contain a grain of sucrose or sugar substitute. “Sweet not greasy” content. It was judged to constitute false propaganda by the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau of Huangpu District, Shanghai, and was fined 1,500 yuan.

Previously, only Haagen-Dazs, a foreign brand, had a high position. However, nowadays, my country’s ice cream brand seems to be stepping up to Haagen-Dazs. Foreign brands such as Haagen-Dazs and Luxue have been overtaken by domestic ice cream.

However, the emergence of the domestic Internet celebrity ice cream “Zhong Xuegao” directly overwhelmed Haagen-Dazs and topped the ice sales list. In 2020, Tmall sold 50,000 units 42 minutes before Double Eleven, with sales exceeding 4 million.

Many people can hardly imagine why a piece of 66 yuan ice cream is so popular?

In May 2018, Zhong Xuegao’s first product was launched. The classical tile-shaped appearance design and each ice cream stick have a word hidden. Only after eating an ice cream can you see the engraved on the ice cream stick. Even Zhong Yi, who is quite critical of the “expensive” ice cream, admits that “In the face of the same ice cream brands, Zhong Xuegao is really refreshing.”

According to Zhong Xuegao’s official website, Zhong Xuegao has only been online for half a year, and he invited many KOLs to try it. Eight months after it went online, there were more than 4,000 small red books about Zhong Xuegao, and now it has become more than 10,000. Articles. In addition, Zhong Xuegao also signed Zhou Yiwei, Tong Liya and other popular celebrities as spokespersons, using the fan economy to launch celebrity customized models, attracting consumers’ attention and interest. Zhong Xuegao also played live streaming and cross-border co-branding, and settled in the live broadcast rooms of Luo Yonghao and Li Jiaqi.

We all know that there are many traditional ice cream brands and categories, and because of this, Zhong Xuegao can only stand out in a short time if he chooses another way. In this regard, its founder, Lin Sheng, has also said without shy: In this era, Internet celebrities are the only way to new consumer brands.

ILO report millions Domestic servants are exploited

Status: 15.06.2021 6:05 p.m.

Working conditions for domestic workers have continued to deteriorate during the corona pandemic, according to a report by the International Labor Organization. Women are most affected. Ten years after a UN Protection Convention was passed, millions of domestic workers are still suffering from exploitation and poor working conditions. The Corona crisis has made the precarious social situation of children, women and men even worse, said the International Labor Organization (ILO) in a report. Many would have lost their jobs during the global pandemic. While, according to the report, the situation for many employees visibly improved before the pandemic, the conditions are now often worse again. ILO Director General Guy Ryder therefore called for all domestic workers to receive fair contracts as well as job and social protection.

06/02/2021

More than a third without protection

More than a third of all 76 million domestic workers had no protection whatsoever, especially in Asia and in Arab countries, according to the ILO chief. According to the information, almost 58 million of the 76 million domestic workers worldwide are women. The ILO, which is part of the United Nations, passed the Convention for the Protection of Domestic Workers in mid-June 2011. It applies to employees who cook, clean, look after children and the elderly and do other work in other households.

UN convention is ignored

According to the convention, domestic workers should receive a minimum wage, paid rest periods and holidays. They also have a right to secure jobs that do not endanger their health. The agreement also prohibits any form of harassment, abuse and violence. The employees have the right to an employment contract – if the contract is breached, they should be able to sue in court. It is also stated that domestic workers under the age of 18 enjoy special protection. However, the regulations made in the UN Convention are often ignored. Domestic workers are often employed informally and so cannot exercise their rights.

Besides, cafes, refreshments, restaurants, eateries, water bars, lotteries; cultural services, sports, gym, fitness, yoga, billiards clubs are reopened (except karaoke, discotheques, massage, bar, pub, club, video games); Golf courses are open to welcome guests in the province. Quang Ninh Provincial People’s Committee requires service and tourism establishments to organize the above activities in a controlled manner, complying with epidemic prevention measures as prescribed. Quang Ninh reopens tourist attractions, relics and scenic spots, welcomes domestic guests from 12pm on June 8. (Photo: Quang Ninh Newspaper) In addition, the Department of Tourism shall assume the prime responsibility for, and coordinate with the Department of Health of Quang Ninh province in working with provinces and cities, based on the safety assessment of the National Steering Committee for COVID-19 prevention and control, proposing to Provincial leaders implemented a plan to expand tourists from safe localities. This plan aims to quickly and strongly restore service tourism activities in the summer of 2021 and the following time, to be completed before June 11, 2021. Quang Ninh Provincial People’s Committee pointed out, Quang Ninh Department of Tourism is in charge of working with People’s Committees of districts, towns and cities, Quang Ninh Tourism Association, management boards of tourist areas, travel and tourism companies. Hotels, restaurants, and related businesses develop tourism stimulus programs and unique, safe and effective tourism products. At the same time, the units are encouraged to maximize tours that provide all-inclusive services, including the SARS-CoV-2 pooled sample testing service. The Department of Tourism shall assume the prime responsibility for widely publicizing tours, routes and safe travel programs nationwide before June 11. The Department of Transport, the Department of Industry and Trade and related departments and branches work with the same agencies of safe provinces and cities to review the organization of transport activities to bring Quang Ninh people to and from localities. , the area has an epidemic but has “locked down” the pathogens and people from these localities to Quang Ninh. This activity is to ensure a safe area and safe journey, associated with the responsibility of transport units and travel agencies in strictly and fully implementing epidemic prevention and control measures as prescribed. As of June 7, 2021, it has been 30 days in Quang Ninh province with no F0 cases in the community since a case of COVID-19 related to K Hospital during the 4th outbreak was detected.

Domestic workers have been severely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. (Photo: ILO) In Vietnam, domestic workers are now subject to labor laws, but the challenge that Vietnam currently faces is compliance with the law. These are the comments of the International Labor Organization (ILO) in its latest report published on June 15. On the occasion of International Labor Day Domestic Workers (June 16), the ILO released the Report Making Decent Work a Reality for Domestic Workers: Progress and Prospects in Asia and the Pacific Duong. The report shows that, ten years after the adoption of the Domestic Workers Convention of 2011 (Convention No. 189), the majority of domestic workers in the Asia-Pacific region ( 61.5%) are still completely out of the scope of national labor laws while 84.3% of them still work in informal jobs. The absence of national labor laws and the high level of informality continue to severely affect the working conditions of domestic workers in the Asia-Thailand region. Binh Duong. More than 50% of domestic workers are concentrated in the Asia-Pacific region Chihoko Asada Miyakawa, Director of the ILO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, said that there is an urgent need to formalize domestic work in Asia and the Pacific, starting with employment. domestic help is regulated by labor law and social security to ensure this important worker enjoys the protection and respect they deserve. The Philippines is the only country in the Asia-Pacific region that has ratified the Domestic Labor Convention ten years after its ratification. According to statistics, the Asia-Pacific region has 38.3 million domestic workers aged 15 and over (of which 78.4% are female), equivalent to 50.6% of domestic workers. families around the world, and this is the largest employer of domestic workers worldwide. In which, China accounts for the majority of these workers (22 million). This is also the region that employs the most male domestic workers, accounting for 46.1% of the male labor rate. families around the world. The data shows that the majority of domestic workers in the region are not subject to any limits on working hours (71%) or enjoy weekly leave (64%) under the provisions of the Labor Code. current labor law. The report also shows that domestic workers are often the lowest paid in the labor market, especially when they work in the informal sector. It is estimated that the Covid-19 pandemic has had a major impact on domestic workers in the Asia-Pacific region due to the high level of informality and the lack of protections provided for in the law. leading to job loss. Their risk of losing their job is 2-3 times higher than that of other workers. Domestic workers in Vietnam need to be protected in practice Vietnam is one of the few countries in the region bringing domestic workers under the scope of labor law. The Labor Code 2019 and the accompanying Decree No. 145/2000/ND-CP stipulate that family workers must have a written contract that meets certain standards, including limits on working hours. and rest time. Among Southeast Asian countries, only in Vietnam are domestic workers entitled to a minimum wage at least equal to the minimum wage for other workers. According to ILO Vietnam Director, Dr. Chang-Hee Lee, although Vietnam has made significant progress, which includes bringing domestic workers under the protection of the labor law, But the challenge facing today is how to strengthen compliance with the law and close the gap between the protections provided in the law and the actual experience of domestic workers. According to a new ILO report, 19% of domestic workers in Vietnam work through service providers, and the number of domestic workers migrating abroad has continuously increased over the past decade. by. Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, domestic workers have become much more vulnerable to job loss than other types of workers. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2019, the rate of domestic workers decreased by 17% in the second quarter of 2020, while the unemployment rate of other hired workers in the same period was only 6.1%. . In parallel with some domestic workers losing their jobs, others have reduced working hours. Both of these situations lead to a significant reduction in total wages received. In the second quarter of 2020, the working hours of domestic workers in Vietnam decreased by 24.7% compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. Due to job loss and reduced working hours, the wages that laborers earn Domestic helpers in Vietnam received decreased by 26.2%. By 2026, Vietnam is expected to ratify the ILO Domestic Workers Convention (Convention No. 189). In the Asia-Pacific region, there are still 61.5% of domestic workers who are not subject to labor laws. – 84.3% of domestic workers in the informal sector work in informal work, while this figure for other workers is 52.8%. – 64% of domestic workers in the Asia-Pacific region are not entitled to weekly leave…

This leading European and American machine tool is the world’s first 3D printed CNC machine tool that integrates casting, forging and milling, developed by Huazhong University of Science and Technology. The head of the research and development team is Professor Zhang Haiou, who has obtained a number of international patent certificates. The United States and Japan, which have always left me in the field of machine tools, have also given a super high evaluation. International authoritative magazines have even declared that my country’s first arc volume combined with forging and milling synchronization technology is significantly different from the widely used distribution technology in the world. This technology can obtain engine parts that far exceed the performance of forgings. Having said so many technical terms, everyone may still be in the cloud to the subversive nature of this technology. Let’s break it down. In the traditional technical process, the three steps of casting, forging and milling are completed separately. Not only is the process complicated, but at the same time It requires multiple large machines to cooperate, and the deviation of any one side will affect the final result. The most important thing is that this technology will extend the entire cycle time. However, with the technology of Professor Zhang Haiou, casting, forging, milling and grinding can all be achieved. Completed in one machine, from metal materials to finished forgings, there is no longer a complicated process, resulting in a cycle time that can be shortened by about 50%. This technology is also known as metal 3D printing technology. However, it is not the first discovery in our country. It has been extensively studied before. However, there are many shortcomings in conventional technology. First, the unforged metal is seriously not up to the standard in terms of fatigue resistance, and secondly, the final product performance is poor and loose. Stomas and other phenomena are also common. Finally, the use of a large number of laser electron beams as a heat source greatly increases the cost. Therefore, this technology has always been in the model stage, and even considered by many manufacturing engineers to be just a fancy. The degree of embarrassment is self-evident. It was not until Professor Zhang Haiou made a breakthrough in research and development that this world problem was overcome. As for whether the technology is good or bad, it depends on the actual application. Not long after the technology came out, large-scale international companies involved in the application of the technology, such as General Motors and Airbus in Europe, came to China one after another. The purpose is very straightforward. To negotiate cooperation, Airbus executives even bluntly stated that as long as cooperation is obtained, it will be a subversive breakthrough for Airbus manufacturing, which can help it continue to maintain its absolute position in the aviation manufacturing field, but they are all rejected! In addition to foreign customers, there are also domestic industrial giants that are sought after by them, such as the well-known companies such as China Aviation Development and China Shipbuilding. In addition to a wide range of application scenarios, this technology can also help my country break through some foreign stuck neck areas, the most important being the aviation development level. Previously, the only way for some key components was to import. However, with the blessing of this technology, we ourselves It can be printed independently, such as the high-temperature alloy receivers on large aircraft engines, ship propellers, and aircraft landing gears with high-strength characteristics. The key is to achieve mass production. The many application scenarios involve various fields of people’s livelihood and military industry, so I won’t give you an example one by one here. However, at the beginning of the successful development, domestic and foreign countries were not optimistic about this. They believed that the technology could only be applied to small parts. As for large parts, it was difficult. But then my country used this technology to perfectly print 2 meters in length and 260 kg in weight. Metal forgings have successfully beaten a crowd of bad actors. Today, the maximum size that can be printed by this technology has risen to 4 meters, and there will be no limit in the future. As the leader of this technology, Professor Zhang Haiou and his wife were also hailed as Mrs. Curie by the students of Huazhong University of Science and Technology. During the decades of research and development, faced with a lot of ridicule and doubt, the two did not shrink from this, in order to devote themselves to it. At work, simply taking the school as your home is a manifestation of the indomitable spirit of the older generation of Chinese scientific researchers. For ordinary people, it is difficult to understand the degree of difficulty of this technology. It takes not only time but also the mental pressure after repeated failures. However, at present, very few people understand this technology or Professor Zhang Haiou behind the technology. Hope This video can resonate with everyone. What we need is not a public knowledge of the supremacy of individualism, nor a glamorous star in front of the camera, but a national hero like Zhang Haiou and his wife who will face up to difficulties regardless of personal gains and losses. If you think I’ve spoken well, remember to follow me!

It is precisely because of the lack of extreme ultraviolet lithography machines that no company in mainland China can produce chips with 7nm and 5nm processes. Although SMIC ordered one from ASML in the early days, ASML has not been able to deliver due to US restrictions. In addition, the chip ban on ZTE and Huawei has completely awakened the consciousness of independent research and development of Chinese technology companies. Domestic chip manufacturers have also pinned their hopes on Chinese companies.

In order to solve the problem of the lithography machine being stuck in the West, Huawei, which has tasted the pain of bone removal, announced the first time that it has fully rooted in semiconductors to solve the problem of chip manufacturing. In addition, the Chinese Academy of Sciences also announced the entry of the lithography machine, which will be the list of the United States. Become a scientific research list of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and integrate the strength of the whole academy to solve the problem of lithography machine.

Good news one by one

First, in order to accelerate the research and development process of domestic lithography machines, Hubble, a subsidiary of Huawei, invested in Beijing Keyi Hongyuan Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd., and successfully became the seventh largest shareholder of this company. It is reported that the company’s main business is light source systems, which is one of the core technologies for manufacturing lithography machines. This company is also the world’s third 193nm ArF preparation molecular laser company. This light source system can be used on DUV lithography machines. This is an important step taken by Huawei’s self-developed lithography machine.

Second, according to media reports, the domestic lithography machine giant Shanghai Microelectronics said that a new generation of lithography machines is expected to be mass-produced by the end of this year or early next year, and its light source system uses the same light source technology as the ASML DUV lithography machine. The wavelength of the light source has exceeded 193nm. The light source system is derived from Keyi Hongyuan. And the precision of the lithography machine is 28nm. This lithography machine can not only mass produce chips with 28nm and 14nm processes, but also realize mass production of 7nm process chips. Kirin 980 uses 7nm non-EUV process.

In other words, domestic foundry companies are very likely to achieve the foundry level of 7nm process by the end of the year or next year, and there is no need to purchase DUV lithography machines from ASML.

ASML, can you stand it?

Since the United States began to restrict the freedom of ASML shipments, ASML has repeatedly stated that it wants to sell lithography machines to Chinese manufacturers while providing good after-sales service for my country. In ASML, Peking University professors also issued a warning. If ASML does not sell the lithography machine to China, China will master this technology in 3 years. According to past experience, as long as China masters this technology, its production cost is more than any other. Countries are cheap, and ASML may have to withdraw from the lithography machine market at that time. Good news about domestic lithography machines one after another, ASML, as a giant lithography machine, don’t know if it can stand it?

Chinese chips usher in spring

Due to Moore’s Law, the number of transistors contained in the chip will double every certain period of time. In 2018, TSMC achieved mass production of the 7nm process, and in 2020 TSMC achieved mass production of the 5nm process, in accordance with the development of Chinese technology. Speed, if Shanghai Microelectronics’ new-generation lithography machine is launched by the end of 2021, my country will achieve mass production of 5nm process chips around 2023.

At the beginning of the chip ban, Zhang Zhaozhong, a famous military theorist in my country, publicly stated that “in another three years, American chips will be unused because Chinese chips will be everywhere”. Now it seems that Zhang Zhaozhong has said it. I believe it will not be long. , my country will certainly be able to make breakthroughs in the field of lithography machines and chips.

More importantly, the current is an important juncture in China’s development process. We should give these companies some patience and tolerance. At the same time, we should give these companies some encouragement, because this is of great significance to China’s long-term development!

While plate 1 IR 504 is stable at 7,900-8,000 VND/kg and gold bran is stable at 7,650 VND/kg. Traders said that today, the purchasing demand of warehouses has not prospered, in general, raw rice has returned to hybrid rai. ST rice types are sold well, prices are stable. Similarly, the types of rice sold at the market in An Giang also continued to be stable. Specifically, sticky intestines 14,000 VND/kg; fragrant rice diced 18,000 – 19,000 VND/kg; Jasmine 14,000 VND/kg; common white rice 14,000 VND/kg; Miss Hoa 16,200 VND/kg; Squirrel is usually 14,000 VND/kg, white rice is usually stable at 11,000 – 12,000 VND/kg, Japanese rice is 24,000 VND/kg; Nang Nhen rice 20,000 VND/kg; Thai squirrel 17,000 VND/kg… On the world market, the export price of rice today suddenly decreased slightly by 5 USD/ton for 5% broken rice.

Toyota and Honda from Japan, Volkswagen, BMW and other automakers from Germany are currently world-class automakers. Of course, the wealth-making ability of these car companies is quite good. It is now the second quarter of 2021. Naturally, the relevant performance report for 2020 has been successfully released. It can be seen that the future development trend is still new energy vehicles. The data is real, and in the 2021 global rich list, Musk’s worth has successfully reached the top of the world’s richest man, and also the richest man with the largest increase in global wealth last year. Of course, the biggest contribution is Tesla Motors. Of course, the comprehensive strength of some domestic new energy automobile manufacturers is also very good, such as Weilai Automobile and Xiaopeng Automobile. Moreover, in the global market value rankings of auto companies, China’s auto companies can be said to have won a big victory, occupying 9 seats in the top 20. In addition to the two automakers mentioned above, BYD, Great Auto, Geely, SAIC Group, GAC Group and Ideal Automobile are all on the list. There are new energy car manufacturers and some traditional car manufacturers. Of course, because the future development trend of the automobile market is new energy vehicles, the market value of Weilai, Xiaopeng, Ideal Auto, etc. are also rising all the way, of course, it is inseparable from capital support. Especially NIO, whose market value has reached more than 80 billion U.S. dollars, this result is quite outstanding. However, the current domestic new energy vehicle industry giant is BYD Auto. The current market value is as high as 484.7 billion yuan, ranking first in the industry. Of course, BYD has also received investment from Buffett, which shows that BYD Auto is very successful. In 2020, BYD Auto’s revenue reached 156.6 billion yuan, and its net profit increased by 4.23 billion yuan. This result is already excellent enough. After all, it experienced a relatively difficult period of time last year. However, the most profitable domestic car company is not BYD Auto. It is China FAW Group. In 2020, its revenue will reach 700 billion yuan, and its net profit will be as high as 46.7 billion yuan, which is equivalent to 10 times that of BYD Auto. In other words, FAW Group can earn 127 million yuan every day. Among them, the revenue of FAW Jiefang heavy trucks is relatively high, reaching 113.7 billion yuan, and the profit is as high as 3.5 billion yuan. It can be said that the performance is very important. Moreover, the sales volume of FAW Jiefang heavy trucks has ranked first in the country for five consecutive years. Of course, FAW Group’s profits are due to joint ventures, and FAW Audi has contributed the most. Of course, domestic companies still need to improve their competitiveness. At present, many domestic companies have shown strong competitiveness, and it is hoped that these car companies can create better results.

These teams will not suffer any penalties, and will still participate in the Champions League 2021/22 according to the position won in the domestic tournament. Previously, UEFA had filed a lawsuit with the Court in Switzerland, but the Ministry of Justice of this country stated that there was not enough basis to give a penalty to Real, Juve and Barca.

Photo: Reuters. This announcement will not apply to the 9 clubs that have withdrawn from the plan to organize the Super League. UEFA still fines Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man Utd, Man City, Tottenham, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid 5% of revenue in a season, respectively 15 million euros. In addition, these clubs will have to pay a fine of up to 100 million euros if they participate in an unauthorized tournament in the future. While the teams signed the pledge with UEFA, Real, Juve and Barca rejected all attempts to negotiate. President Florentino Perez affirmed that FIFA and UEFA do not have the right to issue any penalty. On the night of June 9 (Hanoi time), British media reported that Man United, Man City, Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool also had to pay a total of £22 million fine to the Premier League organizers for being in the Super founding group. League. This money is used to solve existing problems in the English Premier League, to support fans and the community, not to be divided among the remaining 14 clubs. If they continue to participate in another tournament that is not allowed by the Premier League organizers, the “Big Six” group must pay a fine of 25 million pounds and have 30 points deducted in the league. ‘Never forgive the guys behind the Super League’ After 6 English teams withdrew from the Super League, Sky Sports commentator Kaveh Solhekol continued to strongly criticize the owners behind the plan for this tournament.

In yesterday’s news, Dong Huahua said, “Before it rains, I went to my friend’s farm to pick some bayberry. Bayberry that has been soaked in the rain is not delicious. The tree is red and the ripe bayberry has dropped all over the place. Picking while eating, my teeth and stomach feel a little uncomfortable right now. It turns out that wearing white clothes is not suitable for picking bayberry.”

And in the picture. Dong Huahua gave a close-up of her shoes this time. Dong Huahua was wearing a pair of colorful sneakers this time. After picking bayberry, there was a lot of bayberry juice on the soles of her shoes, which made the shoes look a little dirty. Just by looking at the style of this shoe, you can know that this pair of shoes must be very valuable.

On the second day after picking the bayberry, the virtuous Dong Huahua made the remaining bayberry into a bayberry drink and frozen it in the refrigerator. The exquisite cups and red bayberry juice, coupled with Dong Huahua’s wonderful shooting angle, I just look at the pictures taken by Dong Huahua, I feel that this delicacy must be very delicious. have to say,

As a lady, Dong Huahua is really ingenious. It seems that this is the benefit of being a noblewoman. She usually eats, drinks, plays, and has fun, and can enrich her spiritual world while having a career. Compared with Dong Huahua, whose life is so exquisite, Zhang Dayi is much simpler.

You can see in some of the photos published by Zhang Dayi that now Zhang Dayi’s dressing style is really more and more simple and money-saving. A simple white T-shirt, plus long pink pants, even Zhang Dayi replaced his shoes with cheap and durable white canvas shoes. If you look closely, you will find that this pair of canvas shoes is the most common style in daily life. Its advantage is that it is versatile and cheap, and you can throw it away if you wear it out.

Compared with Dong Huahua’s thousands of shoes, Zhang Dayi’s current life philosophy is really becoming more and more in the direction of living at home as a daughter-in-law. Although Zhang Dayi has now put on cheap and durable domestic canvas shoes, but in some photos, Zhang Dayi still has an extraordinary temperament.

Buddhas rely on gold clothes and people want clothes. This is true, but sometimes, whether you wear clothes of thousands or hundreds of dollars, you still have to rely on your own temperament and charm to support it. I don’t know what you think of the comparison between Zhang Dayi and Dong Huahua today. Welcome to leave your own opinions in the comment area.

This test device has been licensed by the Health Sciences Authority of Singapore (HSA).

Australia is trying to prepare for a plan to produce an mRNA technology vaccine in this country. (Source: Reuters) In a recent meeting with the Senate, Mr. David Luchetti of the Australian Ministry of Industry and Science said that the Australian authorities have asked manufacturers to detail the potential for vaccine development in Australia. Australia. Currently, the Australian Ministry of Technology and Science has received applications from 15 companies, of which 5 are under consideration. The available information shows that if the production of mRNA technology vaccines on the basis of existing factories, it may take Australia 1-2 years to produce the first batches of vaccines. However, if a completely new factory is built, it may take 3-4 years for a new mRNA technology vaccine to be born in Australia. So at the moment it is difficult to predict when Australia will be able to produce an mRNA vaccine. Compared with traditional technology, mRNA promises to be more effective, faster, safer, with fewer side effects; can compare the difference like a motorbike and a jet. To make it easy to understand, the process of synthesizing each protein in the human body is like solving a complex math problem, mRNA becomes a manual of mathematical formulas. If humans can create a vaccine in the form of artificial mRNA, when injected into the body, the mRNA will disguise itself as a “thief” that sneaks in but does not wake up the “host”, it silently builds a defense system. are antibody proteins, so that when the virus attacks, it will be destroyed by that system. Regarding the possibility of Moderna company building a vaccine factory in Australia, Mr. David Luchetti said that Australia is currently in discussions with Moderna about this plan, but until now it is still uncertain about what. (according to VOV)

Regarding the possibility of Moderna company building a vaccine production plant in Australia, Mr. David Luchetti said that Australia is currently in discussions with Moderna about this plan, but until now it is still uncertain about what. / .

Dr. Le Hung Phong – Director of the Center for Research and Development of Hybrid Rice (Institute of Food and Food Plants) – with a new generation of hybrid rice. Photo: Duong Dinh Tuong. Advantages and disadvantages of domestic hybrid rice Dr. Le Hung Phong – Director of the Center for Research and Development of Hybrid Rice (Institute of Food Plants and Food Plants), who was black because of sunburn, just led me to visit the new generation hybrids mentioned. When he was a student at the University of Agriculture I, he himself chose to be a rice breeder, and his graduation thesis was also about hybrid rice, guided by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thi Tram. She advised: “If you like this job, then go to the Center for Research and Development of Hybrid Rice.” At that time, this unit was just established in 1994. Until now this is still the only research center in this field. According to Mr. Phong, if the southern part of the breed is mainly from the IRRI International Rice Research Institute, the northern part is mainly from China, both hybrid and pure. Research on hybrid rice in our country can be divided into several stages: From 1995 to 2000, we basically researched and perfected and mastered the technology of F1 seed production and production of parental lines imported from China. Country. From 2000 – 2010 mainly use the available Chinese mother line to cross with his father’s line. Therefore, the hybrid advantage in yield as well as quality of the domestic variety cannot exceed that of the imported Chinese variety. From there, we oriented, in addition to using imported materials from that source, to improve and introduce sterility genes, restore genes, and create new Vietnamese parent materials. In the period of 2011 – 2015, University of Agriculture I (now the Vietnam Academy of Agriculture) and the Center for Research and Development of Hybrid Rice under the Vietnam Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology (now part of the Food Crop Institute). food plants) has created parent lines with its own orientation such as E15S, T6S, AMS35S, D116S, AMS211A,14A… These are the mother lines of some quality Vietnamese hybrid rice varieties such as HQ19, Aromatic hybrid 6, HYT124… In the basic spring crop, we use Chinese hybrid rice varieties because they have more advantages in yield and shape, but the main crop uses two-line hybrid rice varieties produced in the country because of the short growing time, better resistance to pests and diseases, better quality. Currently, the quality of imported hybrid rice varieties is getting better and better, such as: Thai Xuyen 111; Ly2099; LP1601… Besides, we have also successfully chosen to create quality two-line hybrid rice varieties that can grow two crops in a year such as HQ19, Hybrid Aroma 6, HYT124, MCH2… Close-up of new hybrid rice. Photo: Duong Dinh Tuong. The general orientation of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is to select hybrid rice varieties that are resistant to pests and diseases, improve quality, and respond to climate change. Indeed, we also have success in breeding such as having parental lines for quality breeding, transferring genes for resistance to pests and diseases. So far, we have varieties that can be said to be of equal quality to the best imported hybrid rice today, Thai Xuyen 111 (sometimes selling up to 150,000 VND/kg), for example, two-line hybrid rice HQ19, HYT124, Hybrid aromatic 6, MCH2… with a selling price of 100,000 – 120,000 VND/kg, some promising three-line hybrid rice varieties, such as HYT325, HYT315, with rice seeds over 7mm long, clear rice, amylose content 16-18%, fragrant rice. However, one of the weaknesses of the domestic varieties is that the shape in the field is not as eye-catching as the Chinese hybrid rice varieties because they have technologies and genetic resources that not only create high yields, The quality and shape are still very nice… We have created our own parent lines from Chinese materials, unfortunately, we have not effectively exploited the male sterility genes from native rice and domestic wild rice. Select varieties in the direction of rice for export According to Mr. Phong, recently, the hybrid rice market has gone down because of the competition of high-quality pure rice, especially in the Red River Delta provinces. In addition, due to industrialization and urbanization, the area of ​​rice cultivation has decreased, the demand for food is not large, the price of imported seeds is high, and the source of seeds cannot be proactive while domestic goods can only meet 30-35 years. % need. The goal of developing hybrid rice in the coming time is not necessarily to increase the cultivated area, but to raise the proportion of domestic products from more than 30-35% to 40.50%…, conquering the market by high quality seeds. Dr. Le Hung Phong: “The results of our work up to now can be said to have not been as expected”. Photo: Duong Dinh Tuong. Dr. Le Hung Phong confided: “In the past, we used to joke: “Although hybrid rice is hybrid, the yield is still twice that of normal rice”, but in fact, research shows that “to create hybrid rice varieties, time Time and effort must be twice that of pure rice.” For example, the research time to select a pure rice variety can be 5 years, but it takes 10 years for hybrid rice. Moreover, the production of hybrid rice seeds by external pollination, depends a lot on weather conditions, on the characteristics of pollen recipients and pollens of the mother and father lines, whether parents combine to create an advantage or not… In short, the production of hybrid rice seeds requires a large investment but the risk is high, so well-known enterprises like ThaiBinhseed have not invested in the production of hybrid rice seeds, Vinaseed only focuses on the production of hybrid rice varieties. old system, easy to do like Nhi uu 838 and now it’s time to start with new varieties imported from China. Besides, there are also private enterprises, the provincial Seed Center has copyright like Cuong Tan Co., Ltd., Hai Phong High-Tech Agriculture Joint Stock Company, Lao Cai Seed Center, Thanh Hoa Institute of Agricultural Science, Vietseed … to invest in domestic hybrid rice production. Currently, the official hybrid rice research and breeding system only has the Crop Research and Development Institute of the Vietnam National Academy of Agriculture and the Hybrid Rice Research and Development Center of the Institute of Food Crops and Food Plants. . We are implementing a program to select and breed hybrid rice that is qualified for export. In addition, starting research on selecting hybrid rice varieties to cope with climate change. HYT 315 – new generation hybrid rice at the Center for Research and Development of Hybrid Rice. Photo: Duong Dinh Tuong. Making good seeds, but selling copyrights at this time is difficult because two or three successful harvests and one loss is zero production effort, so businesses are not eager. There is a new direction of combining with businesses to jointly invest, share profits as well as risks. The Center is now a partially autonomous (45-50%) non-business unit. The results of our work to date can be said to have not been as expected. For example, the phenotype of domestic hybrid rice compared with Chinese hybrid rice is still poor, and needs to be improved to be closer to imported varieties. What I regret most is that the opportunity to contribute to the development of domestic hybrid rice production is that at the time when HYT100 was recognized as a variety, there was no strong business to invest in it. The quality of the HYT100 is good, but there are difficulties in seed production, which are also common weaknesses of quality hybrid rice varieties. If this weakness can be improved, the opportunity for development will be better. I think there are still many things that can be exploited and believe that hybrid rice will grow well. I used to go to an expert in Africa where rice is only for invited guests, proving that the rice grain still plays a huge role in the world with densely populated countries or need to ensure food security. In order to develop hybrid rice and pure rice in particular and the seed industry in general, if the State and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development do not have policies to invest in-depth in domestic research, it will be difficult to compete with foreign products. Large enterprises, with a lot of money, only invest in research at the level of exploration and testing of varieties, not in-depth research. Therefore, appropriate attention and investment is still needed for non-business units doing research to ensure continuity and to produce good products.

With many years of experience in the field of tourism and tour organization, CEO Huyen Bui shared that in order for every cheap travel trip to be complete, customers need to choose a destination, learn about that destination and know how to go about it. Find accommodation that fits your budget.

Taking the time to research, customers will save a considerable amount of money, and at the same time anticipate the factors that adversely affect the trip. Phu Quoc is one of the ideal destinations for those who love to explore. Choose a place to stay The choice of accommodation will depend on the ability to pay as well as the utility requirements of each individual. CEO Huyen Bui shared that cheap places to stay will not provide too many amenities like in luxury resorts. These locations will only include some basic utilities such as self-contained bedrooms, air conditioners, and electric fans, with an average price of 300,000-600,000 VND/single room. If chosen at the right time, customers can find convenient, airy and reasonably priced places to stay. If there is no high demand for accommodation, customers can refer to local homestays. Although not too prominent in terms of utilities, this will be an opportunity for each person to have closer contact with the local culture, better understand the land and local people. Choose where to eat Regarding places to eat, the female CEO encourages each person to consult the restaurants in the destination in advance to have an overview, to avoid being passive when they arrive.

According to the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper, the project to build Russia’s own domestic space station was approved by President Vladimir Putin during a closed-door meeting on the development of the space industry. Work on creating a national orbital station is scheduled to launch in the near future. Experts are faced with the task of building the space object as soon as possible, in order to prevent the long-term absence of Russian cosmonauts in orbit. The publication Moskovsky Komsomolets reminds that the estimated service life of the Russian segment on the International Space Station will end in 2025. After that, the module will be destroyed. The proposal to abandon the ISS was previously announced by the Russian National Space Corporation – Roscosmos. The experts of the above enterprise believe that serious system problems of the orbiting station in operation may begin soon, as its useful life is about to end. According to preliminary estimates, maintaining the Russian segment on the ISS in the coming years will cost 10-15 billion rubles, which is very expensive compared to building a completely new one. The International Space Station has been in use since 1998, its life will end in 2024. Currently, the countries participating in the project are considering options to prolong the existence of the multi-space space research complex. capacity until 2030. In the meantime, it is known that some components for the International Space Station ISS will be utilized by Russia. The first basic module for the future Russian national orbital station could be a component previously designed for the ISS. Experts from RSC Energia are currently working on the Science and Energy module (NEM) and it will be ready for launch in 2025. The head of the Roscosmos Group – Mr. Dmitry Rogozin wrote about this on the Telegram channel of the company. myself. Mr. Rogozin also reiterated that Russia intends to withdraw from the ISS after 2025. By that time, Moscow plans to build its own orbiting station for scientific research purposes. Earlier, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov said that the situation related to the “aging” of the ISS structure could lead to dire consequences. So Moscow should create an alternative as soon as possible and not put the astronauts at risk. In addition, Borisov also revealed that the future national orbiting station could become “high-orbit” (located above the ISS), which would not only be used for scientific research, but also serve as a “transshipment base” in the mission to conquer the Moon. As for the NEM module, work on its creation began in 2012. According to the plan, by 2015 the device should have ensured energy independence for the Russian subdivision on the ISS. However, at that time only the preliminary design was completed. NEM’s ground tests only really started in 2018. While its launch date has been repeatedly postponed. In the coming time, Russian scientists will certainly have to be more active, because progress is increasingly urgent. In addition to the NEM that will become the main module, according to Dmitry Rogozin, two permanent working modules named Nauca and Prichal may also become part of the Russian space station in the future, both modules will be sent to the ISS in the future. this year.

More and more Chinese tourists are visiting the farms and enjoying the fresh produce. Tourists pick persimmons at an orchard in Shufeng village, eastern China. Photo: CNN According to CNN, China is one of the largest domestic tourism markets in the world. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism estimates that over 4 billion trips will be made across China by 2021, with a market value exceeding $500 billion. Given that an outbound tourism model is not viable due to pandemic restrictions, the need for an alternative domestic option is not surprising – especially since China is the home. of 55 World Heritage Sites recognized by UNESCO. However, not only looking to the historical and natural wonders in the country, people now look to a different atmosphere when returning to the peaceful countryside. In posts posted on the social network Weibo, an account named Ancailie said that after a day of picking strawberries, planting rice and eating food raised by her own hands, she felt “much happier”. Another user, laozhenyiwen, described how his family caught fish and ate seafood during the last Labor Day holiday as an enjoyable experience and “avoiding the crowds”. China-owned Trip.com, one of the world’s largest online travel agencies, said that in March 2021, rural trips in China increased by more than 300% compared to same period last year. People in China’s big cities are tired of urban life and are looking for something healthier. Tourists are painting nature at Xiaolingnan, Anhui province. Photo: CNN This trend has become so popular that Trip.com is planning a “five-year action” to promote rural tourism, including linking up with 10,000 professional travel agents to focus on developing the field. and invested 1 billion yuan (US$150 million). Zhou Mingqi, founder and general manager of Shanghai Tour Guide Enterprise Management Consulting, said Chinese people are getting tired of not having many entertainment spaces and unique experiences in the country’s big cities. “They need a different life experience, a peaceful weekend away,” he explains. Wang Shang works for a Beijing-based company that helps coordinate tours and activities in the countryside. She says that on one of the tours she runs, visitors can experience fruit growing, participate in an agricultural development model, and learn about the traditional crafts and customs of the region. . “Most of the tourists who join these tours are kindergarten or primary school students with their parents,” Wang said. Some rural retreats can be reasonably minimalist, with activities as simple as strawberry picking, visiting a folk museum or attending local musicals. In Wang’s opinion, there are two main reasons why people are enthusiastic about vacationing in the countryside. It is a quiet space to be alone and experience a healthy lifestyle. One of the resorts Wang affiliated with in Shandong province opened in May 2020 – right after the peak of the COVID-19 epidemic passed in China – quickly being booked by tourists. “The population density in rural areas is very low. The control and prevention measures are also very good,” explained Wang. People like to experience life with nature. Photo: CNN Besides, living in a country that is full of scandals related to food contamination, tourists feel safer and healthier when they grow clean foods themselves. The trend of “going home to rest” is also strongly promoted by influential figures on the Internet, such as Ly Tu That. Videos of this girl living in the countryside, cooking dishes from home-grown ingredients by herself on the peaceful background of music have attracted tens of millions of views. Wang said she believes rural tourism is just getting started and that in the future, tours will focus more on China’s myriad local cultures. “Looking at agricultural and rural development policies in recent years, I think that rural areas have a lot of potential. I think in the future there will be more tourism products with content based on local culture, that is, tours with cultural depth,” Wang said.

Japan plans to produce the vaccine domestically. Illustration: CNN Shionogi is currently in discussions with the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare about a framework that would allow the efficacy and safety of vaccines to be assessed even with small-scale trials. This manufacturer hopes to contribute to the early prevention of the Covid-19 pandemic by focusing on investment and management of resources. In addition, the company has also completed a production line capable of supplying 10 million people a year with vaccines and plans to increase capacity further. Regarding Moderna’s vaccine approval process, on May 10, the pharmaceutical company Takeda said that clinical trials have confirmed that Moderna’s vaccine has helped increase antibodies in vaccinated people. The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare will evaluate and make a decision on whether to give the vaccine a “green light” as early as May 20.

Again, Russia intends to withdraw from the ISS project after 2025. By then, Moscow plans to build its own orbital station for the purposes of scientific research. Previously, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation – Mr. Yuri Borisov said that the situation related to the “aging” of the ISS structure could lead to dire consequences. So Russia should create an alternative to the current project as soon as possible and not leave the astronauts at risk. In addition, Borisov added that the national orbital station in the future could become “high orbit” (located above the ISS), not only used for scientific research but also acting as a “transit base” in the mission to conquer the Moon. Russia will use the ISS international space station’s energy supply module for its future space facility As for the Science and Energy module, work on creating it started in 2012. As planned, by 2015 the device is expected to ensure energy independence for the Russian subdivision on the ISS. . However at that time only the draft design of the device was ready. NEM’s ground tests only really begin in 2018. While its launch is being delayed, Russian scientists will have to be more active in the near future as time is on. increasingly hurry. It should be noted that in addition to the NEM that will become the main module, according to Dmitry Rogozin, two permanent working modules named “Nauca” and “Prichal” could become part of the space station in the future, both modules will sent to the ISS this year.

The China Consumers Association issued a response stating that the primary prerequisite for business operations is to respect consumers, and enterprises should implement product quality responsibilities in accordance with the law, and take effective measures to protect consumers’ safety rights. Tesla also spoke again, urging to appoint a third-party testing and appraisal agency to conduct appraisal and restore the truth.

According to the latest news, Tesla has provided relevant data.

At the same time, the China Market Supervision News, which is in charge of the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration, disclosed the data one minute before the vehicle accident and made a text explanation.

The full text of this text description is as follows:

When the driver stepped on the brake pedal for the last time, the data showed that the speed of the vehicle was 118.5 kilometers per hour. Within 2.7 seconds after the driver stepped on the brake pedal, the maximum brake master cylinder pressure was only 45.9 bar. After that, the driver increased the stepping on the brake pedal, and the brake master cylinder pressure reached 92.7 bar. The front collision warning and automatic emergency braking function were activated (the maximum brake master cylinder pressure reached 140.7bar) and played a role, reducing the amplitude of the collision. 1.8 seconds after the ABS was applied, the system recorded the occurrence of the collision. After the driver stepped on the brake pedal, the vehicle speed continued to decrease, and before the collision, the vehicle speed was reduced to 48.5 kilometers per hour.

In summary, the vehicle is running at a higher speed, and the driver starts to depress the brake pedal with a lighter force. After that, the automatic emergency braking function is activated and has a function, which improves the braking force and reduces the impact of the collision. The driving system is normally involved in the work and reduces the speed of the car.

In addition, with regard to the condition of the vehicle 30 minutes before the accident, Tesla stated this: In the 30 minutes before the accident, the driver drove the vehicle normally and had more than 40 records of depressing the brake pedal. At the same time, the vehicle has repeatedly stopped at more than 100 kilometers per hour and multiple times.

In fact, Tesla, which is caught in the turmoil of rights defense, is also facing pressure to acquire land and expand. Recently, an industrial land mark located in the Lingang Heavy Equipment Industrial Zone of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, which is adjacent to the Tesla Super Factory in Shanghai, has been interpreted by the market as a new site for Tesla’s expansion.

A reporter from Securities Times·e Company recently visited Tesla’s Shanghai Super Factory. The security in the factory area has been upgraded, and trucks loaded with domestic Tesla have driven out of the factory without interruption. Construction has begun on the suspected landmark plot near the super factory.

“Recent rights protection incidents at the Tesla Auto Show objectively have an impact on the corporate investment image. Even the subsequent expansion and expansion of production, it is necessary to pay attention to the impact of public opinion.” A Shanghai auto industry person told reporters that if It is Tesla who has taken the landmark, indicating that corporate funds and strategies may be under pressure to achieve such goals, or that it has no intention of expanding in the short term. However, it is expected that there will be various land acquisition actions in the future. The rights protection turmoil has not ceased for the time being, and the prospects of the stale land are still unclear. Whether Tesla can continue to stabilize the Chinese market deserves attention.

There are multiple security personnel at the entrance of the factory

A large area of ​​white exterior walls and red arched doors are located in front of the Tesla Super Factory in the Lingang New Area of ​​Shanghai Free Trade Zone. Private cars and employees have entered the factory one after another. The road at the entrance of the factory is empty, and the construction scene of the previous roar of forklifts is no longer visible.

On the afternoon of April 21, a reporter from the Securities Times·e Company saw at the exit of the super factory that many transport vehicles were fully loaded with domestic Tesla and were leaving the factory without interruption. In the open space outside the factory, there are hundreds of new cars that have just left the production line. “The first and second phases of the factory are basically completed, and the production capacity is expanding rapidly. We are now in a three-shift all-weather mode, and people are required 24 hours a day, and we are still hiring people.” A Tesi who came out of the factory Pull employees told reporters. Regarding the current rights protection incident at the Tesla Motor Show, the employee said: “It will definitely affect us, but we don’t have much to say about it.”

The degree of Tesla’s attention is positively correlated with the strict degree of security at the Shanghai Gigafactory. The reporter noticed that two security posts were arranged at the entrances of the first and second phases of the factory. At least 3 staff members wearing red hats and fluorescent green vests are on duty at each entrance. On both sides of the road far away from the door, there are staff from time to time patrolling. Whenever a visitor approaches the factory door, the staff will take the initiative to ask or intercept. “Security will only be stricter during this time.” A security officer said, and told reporters that photographing is prohibited at the entrance of the factory.

In addition, the reporter noticed that there are still cranes under construction near the second phase of the Tesla Gigafactory, and the steel structure on the roof of the plant has been basically completed. “This may be the third phase, or the 2.5 phase, and some workshops will be built to meet production needs.” A worker told reporters.

According to Tesla’s previous EIA information report, the company currently has 4 projects in Shanghai, namely the Tesla Gigafactory Plant Project, the Gigafactory (Phase 1) Phase 1 Project, and the Phase 1-Parts Production Process Improvement Project. , The new model launches the project in advance. Among them, the first phase of the Super Factory (Phase I) project is constructed in phases, divided into two phases, A and B. At present, Phase A has been built and Phase B is under construction.

As the production capacity of Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory continues to increase, the delivery of Tesla’s electric vehicles has also increased. According to Tesla’s 2020 financial report, a total of 499,500 vehicles were delivered throughout the year, which is only one step away from the 500,000 vehicles goal set by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. In the financial report, Tesla revealed that the annual production capacity of the Shanghai Super Factory Model 3 is capable of maintaining more than 250,000 vehicles. Model Y production has started at the end of 2020. It is currently in full production and is expected to have an annual production capacity of 200,000 vehicles.

Road construction has begun on suspected land

When the Shanghai Super Factory was operating at full capacity, Tesla reported the news of expanding the factory. In early March of this year, the official website of Shanghai Land Market issued an announcement on the transfer of state-owned construction land use rights, stating that it would sell a piece of industrial land in Lingang Heavy Equipment Industrial Zone with a total area of ​​about 461,000 square meters. The permitted industry type of the plot is the manufacture of new energy vehicles, and it is adjacent to the second phase of Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory. It is speculated that it is a new site for Tesla’s expansion.

However, the reporter found that the current transaction status of the plot is “flow mark”. On March 30, the official website of the Shanghai Land Market showed that the industrial land located in the Lingang Heavy Equipment Industrial Zone was not won by the sole bidder. The official website of the Shanghai Land Market did not disclose which car company the bidding applicant was. A reporter from the Securities Times·e Company asked the relevant person in charge of Tesla for verification on this matter, and no response was received as of the time of publication.

On the afternoon of April 21, the reporter went to this industrial land in Nicheng Town, Pudong New District. According to the data, the industrial land extends to the N01-04 plot in the east, Canghai Road in the south, N01-03B plot in the west, and Wanshui Road in the north. The land that is not visible at a glance is still in a barren state, and several bulldozers, road rollers and cranes are working in turn, and the dust is flying. “Here is to build a road. We are already piling here.” A construction worker told reporters. “We had a meeting with people from Tesla, saying that the road was first repaired, and we don’t know what the other land is going to do.” A staff member who came to inspect the construction site told reporters .

“Industrial land itself is not expensive, and the premium rate for general transactions is within 5%, so there are relatively few cases of lost bids or lost auctions.” Yan Yuejin, research director of the Think Tank Center of E-House Research Institute, said in an interview with a reporter from the Securities Times·e Company If there is a failure to bid, it may indicate that the low price is too high, or the company initially intends to acquire land, but because of the low expectations of subsequent input and output, it chooses to give up. “Follow-up may have to make adjustments in land prices and other aspects, especially the need to actively inquire about the willingness of relevant companies to acquire land.” Yan Yuejin said.

Why did the land with a starting price of over 500 million yuan fail the bid?

The reporter consulted the transfer information of the plot, and the seller was the Management Committee of the Lingang New Area of ​​China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone. The total area of ​​the plot is 461142.4 square meters and the period is 50 years. The starting price is 518.79 million yuan, and the price is increased. The margin is 5 million yuan.

“Similar plots are close to Tesla’s existing plant. Logically speaking, Tesla will usually get the land. If other new energy vehicles get land in the surrounding area, it doesn’t seem to make sense.” A person in the auto industry told reporters. It can be understood that Tesla has re-adjusted the mode of strategic expansion in the current special period, in other words, eased the acquisition of land.

From the perspective of industrial land, Yan Yuejin believes that the land needs to meet the requirements of local governments for investment promotion and industrial planning. If similar requirements are not met, land transactions may also face pressure.

One detail that can be paid attention to is that the land project requires a total fixed asset investment of no less than 6.88 billion yuan, an investment intensity of no less than 14,925 yuan per square meter, and a full-scale sales income of no less than 5 years after the land is handed over. 75 billion yuan per year, and the total tax revenue for reaching production is no less than 2 billion yuan per year. With reference to Tesla’s revenue in China in 2020 reaching US$6.662 billion (approximately RMB 43 billion), there is still a gap between its annual sales revenue of 75 billion yuan.

In addition, when building the Shanghai Super Factory, Tesla also disclosed that the company signed a 50-year land lease agreement with the Shanghai local government. If the payment is not made on time, the land must be returned to the Shanghai government. Tesla needs to complete an investment of 14.08 billion yuan (approximately US$2 billion) in the Shanghai factory in the next five years. At the same time, starting from the end of 2023, Tesla’s Shanghai plant must pay 2.23 billion yuan (approximately US$323 million) in taxes each year.

“The flow standard can be seen from two aspects. One is whether the Shanghai government’s policy on Tesla has changed. Two years ago, the conditions given for the introduction of Tesla were very favorable. Tesla’s sales and profit margins in China They are all very good, so if the second land project is given to Tesla, the conditions may not be as favorable as before.” Zhang Xiang, an auto industry analyst, told reporters that, on the other hand, other car companies are not excluded. Want to bid. Due to Tesla’s entry into Lingang, related suppliers have also been attracted to form a new energy automobile industry chain. The industry environment is relatively mature, and other companies participate in bidding, and the price of bids has also risen.

Tesla’s “attack” under the rush of production capacity

Behind the rights protection incidents and the land flow mark, Tesla, which has been advancing all the way, seems to have gradually faded. In July 2018, the official announcement announced that the Tesla Gigafactory, which plans to produce 500,000 pure electric vehicles per year, will be located in the Lingang area of ​​Shanghai.

In January 2019, Tesla’s first overseas factory officially started construction in Shanghai, with a planned production capacity of 250,000 vehicles in the first phase, with a total production capacity of up to 500,000 vehicles, and a total project investment of 50 billion yuan.

With the completion of the Tesla Super Factory in Shanghai, the domestically produced Model 3 and Model Y ushered in a rapid increase in production capacity, and repeated price cuts have also catalyzed the peak sales of Tesla’s domestically produced electric vehicles. In addition, this year, Tesla’s Shanghai Super Charging Pile Factory has been completed and put into production, with an initial planned annual production capacity of 10,000 V3 Super Charging Pile. Tesla’s layout in the Chinese market continues to deepen.

“We produce cars. In the long run, China will become our largest market and the place where we produce the most vehicles and have the most customers.” Musk said frankly in a recent interview with the media. In 2020, Tesla’s revenue in China was US$6.662 billion, a year-on-year increase of 123.6%, accounting for 21% of total revenue. In 2018 and 2019, Tesla’s revenue in China was US$1.757 billion and US$2.979 billion, accounting for 8.19% and 12.12%, respectively.

In terms of sales volume, Tesla delivered 185,000 vehicles worldwide in the first quarter, of which, Tesla sold 69,280 vehicles in China in the first quarter. Judging from the existing sales data, Tesla still occupies the top position of the Chinese market share. In terms of stock price, Tesla went from 80 US dollars in early 2020 to 800 US dollars in early 2021. Its share price has doubled tenfold in one year, and its market value has led global auto companies.

However, the ensuing problem is that Tesla has frequent safety accidents. The “brake failure” rights protection incident at the Shanghai Auto Show is not an isolated case. According to media statistics, since 2020, different media have exposed more than dozens of brake failures and spontaneous charging problems of related car companies’ products, which occurred in Beijing, China. Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanchang and many other places. In addition, similar accidents have occurred in Europe and the United States. Musk himself does not shy away from talking about Tesla’s quality problems. He once said that Tesla’s quality will be worse than the stable period during production acceleration, and it will be difficult to achieve perfection if the output is to rise linearly.

“The Tesla auto show rights protection incident reflects Tesla’s quality control problems in a larger sense. The brake failure is directly related to its autopilot system, which involves the car’s hardware and software. There is a trial for new things. The process of error, for Tesla, is that it did not try out all the errors of the autopilot system and hurried mass production and commercialization. The mistakes made in the development of a technological product may be tolerated, but the mistakes made in the development of automotive products This kind of error can lead to traffic accidents and even loss of life.” An auto industry analyst told reporters.

The domestic new energy vehicle market is expected to flourish

When Tesla is plagued by negative public opinion, it is also facing heavy grips from new car manufacturers, luxury car brands and even intelligent solution suppliers.

Take this year’s Shanghai Auto Show as an example, players from all walks of life will firmly occupy the outlets of new energy vehicles. BYD released the new e-platform 3.0, a pure electric car codenamed EA1 and the X Dream concept car; Geely Automobile exhibited the luxury safari pure electric coupe Krypton001; SAIC Motor launched high-end intelligent pure electric vehicles Zhiji L7, LS, etc. Among the newly unveiled electric models, the battery life of more than 400km has become standard, and some high-end electric vehicles can reach a range of more than 600km, and the electric performance such as fast charging and acceleration has also continued to evolve.

New car manufacturers such as Xiaopeng and Weilai brought new models to their debut. Overseas brands also released SUV models taking into account the preference and demand of the Chinese market. In addition to the release of new vehicles by automakers, intelligent solution providers such as Huawei and Baidu have brought related software and hardware products such as autonomous driving and intelligent electric vehicles. The arena of the new energy vehicle market is more diverse.

The sales data in March this year showed that the new forces in domestic car-making have picked up. Huabao Securities analysis pointed out that Weilai Automobile delivered 7,257 new cars in March, and its sales performance was relatively stable when orders continued to be fully produced, with a month-on-month increase of 30.1%; Xiaopeng and Ideal both returned to growth in March. The month-on-month growth both exceeded 100%. Although this year’s electric layout of traditional car companies and Tesla’s price cut competition, new car manufacturers still remain sufficiently competitive. In addition, the giants of traditional car companies have also accelerated their deployment in the field of new energy. The market is expected to form a diversified development trend of new car manufacturers and traditional car companies.

“There are more and more new models built by the same industry, and Tesla may be threatened.” Zhang Xiang, an automotive analyst, told reporters for example. Many years ago, Tesla could run 400 kilometers on a single charge, while other domestic cars could only run. 100 kilometers, but now, some new car-building forces can run more than 700 kilometers on a single charge, which has exceeded Tesla’s cruising range. “When competing with peers, Tesla has shown fewer and fewer advantages. This is a challenge to Tesla.”

[Reporter’s Observation]Will Tesla’s development strategy in China change?

The haze of the rights protection storm has not dissipated, and Tesla has other problems that need to be answered. In Tesla’s in-depth deployment of the Chinese market, and when lowering prices and increasing volume, other electric vehicle brands have different development strategies, and the momentum cannot be underestimated.

The CITIC Securities Research Report pointed out that the “individualized” design and positioning trend of self-owned brand new cars is clear. It is expected that the core competitiveness of auto companies will shift from “cost control” to precise positioning and precise marketing in the future. New car-making forces are expected to seize the opportunity and gain a higher share in the wave of “intelligence” of electric vehicles, relying on faster response and more accurate market understanding. The electrification transformation of joint ventures/overseas brands will further provide new supply for the domestic new energy vehicle market and open up the industry space.

In addition, on the one hand, intelligent solution providers can help automakers optimize the driving experience of their products through technologies such as autonomous driving and smart cockpits; on the other hand, they can penetrate into electric components such as electric drives, thermal management, and BMS, and improve through digitalization. Efficiency and cost reduction will help automakers build “good cars.”

“At that time, the introduction of Tesla played an important role in driving all aspects of the domestic new energy automobile industry chain. In the long run, we support the development of advanced technologies and enterprises with demonstration effects in the country. In the short term, the enterprises have inappropriate Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the National Travel Association, said in an interview with a reporter from Securities Times and e Company.

More than two years ago, Shanghai introduced Tesla, and the Tesla Shanghai Super Factory was built, completed and mass-produced domestic Tesla cars at an unprecedented speed. Two years later, the new energy vehicle market is already unique, but Tesla “stalls” due to multiple quality and safety accidents. Will Tesla, which is eager to occupy the Chinese market, change its development strategy in China?

“As the world’s largest automobile market and one of the countries with the fastest penetration of new energy in the world, China should be a strategic market for Tesla. Tesla needs to continue to increase its efforts in the Chinese market. Tesla’s challenge lies in China’s domestic market. The rise of new power brands and the dimensionality reduction attacks of potential competitors, such as the addition of smart players such as Apple and Xiaomi, will pose a greater threat to Tesla.” Liu Kun, China partner of Reese Strategic Positioning Consulting, told reporters that Musk’s The strategic intent is to subvert fuel vehicles, so Tesla will continue to expand the mass price market. This also brings another problem. Downward extension will dilute and obscure Tesla’s high-end perception, and Tesla may no longer represent high-end For electric vehicles, the high-end market also has a strategic opportunity to establish another purer high-end electric vehicle brand.

Time is changing, the conflict of rights protection has not ceased for the time being, and the prospect of stale land is unknown. Can Tesla continue to stabilize the Chinese market? Will Tesla’s expansion in China be delayed, and whose land will be sold to the market? Securities Times·e company reporters will continue to pay attention.

Speaking of peony, people always think of Luoyang first. Just like the poet Shao Yong of the Northern Song Dynasty said: “Luoyang people are used to seeing wonderful flowers, peach and plum blossoms are not blooming. The must be peony blossoms, and the city is full of happiness.” Luoyang is known as the “thousand-year imperial capital, the city of peony”, Luoyang peony began in the Sui Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and became the best in the Song Dynasty. “Poetry hero” Liu Yuxi said, “Only peony is true national color, and when the flower blooms, the capital will move the capital”, it is even more important that the peony is the “king of flowers”, known as the “national color and heavenly fragrance”. Recently, the editor was shocked by the Luoyang peony “Yizhao”, which has been popular in the circle of friends. In the major peony gardens in Luoyang, there are more than 100 varieties of more than 600 varieties such as “Sea Yellow”, “Luoyang Red”, and “Neon Huancai”. Thousands of peonies are in full bloom one after another, rich and fragrant, and colorful, attracting countless tourists to come here, just for a glimpse of the grace and beauty of the national flower. Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the “Space Peony” that once carried the Shenzhou-8, which was carefully cultivated for 10 years and appeared at the Peony Festival, bringing endless surprises to tourists. Everyone knows that “Luoyang Peony is the best in the world”, but few people know that the city enjoying the reputation of “China’s Peony Capital” is not Luoyang, but Heze, Shandong. Maybe when you first heard about it, you would be as surprised as the editor, but when you walk into Heze, you will understand the meaning. Heze was called Caozhou in ancient times. It is well-known both at home and abroad for planting peony. It has a long history and scale of planting that is not inferior to Luoyang peony. The planting area of ​​Heze peony has exceeded 16,000 hectares, which is the largest in the world. Peony can be seen everywhere in Heze, whether it is in the fields or in the streets of the park. The peonies here are not only for viewing, but also the “golden key” to revitalize the local economy. Entering the Caozhou Peony Garden, there are more than 1,000 varieties of peony, with a total of nearly one million. Looking around, you can see that all kinds of peony flowers are blooming, and there is an unprecedented lively scene of blooming and prosperous times. The breeze is passing and dark. The fragrance floats, so many tourists are obsessed with it. Now that you have watched the “Flower King” peony, the peony, which is expensive as the “flower”, should not be missed, because there are many similarities between peony and peony. The two are quite similar in flower color and shape, and according to relevant historical records, peony was popular in the world long before the peony became famous, and even the original name of the peony was named after the peony. There is the sentence “April Yu Rongsai Peony”. To talk about the species of peony, Yangzhou was promoted in ancient times, because “Luoyang peony, Guangling peony” has been famous since ancient times. The cultivation of peony in Yangzhou has a long history, beginning in the Sui and Tang dynasties. It was once prosperous in the Song Dynasty, and has the reputation of “Yangzhou peony in the world”. It has a wide variety of varieties, elegant shapes, and full of fragrance. In the poems describing Yangzhou style by scribes of the past dynasties, the scene of chanting peony is common. The annual blooming season is in Yangzhou Slender West Lake’s exquisite flower world, Yizheng Peony Garden and other places. It is a common practice for tourists to appreciate peony. We know that peony is the famous flower of love and the representative flower of the Qixi Festival. It has a charming flower shape and gorgeous color. It is highly ornamental, but at the same time it is a good medicine for blindly curing diseases and saving people. In Bozhou City, Anhui Province, the world-famous “Hometown of Hua Tuo” and “Capital of Chinese Medicines”, this is the distribution center of white peony, one of the four famous medicines in Anhui. In fact, it was already famous as early as the Wei and Jin Dynasties. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the planting of white peony root in Bozhou was even more prosperous. Today, as one of the important cash crops in Bozhou, the white peony plant not only ranks first in the country, but also accounts for more than 70% of the country’s total output. Every spring, the peony flowers all over the place compete to bloom, and the clouds and clouds attract countless tourists to watch, and it has become one of the most beautiful scenery in the local area.

According to Mr. Le Tan Thanh Tung, Deputy General Director of Vietnam Tourism Joint Stock Company (Vitours), the company is focusing mainly on the domestic market and has prepared most carefully to welcome visitors this summer. As long as domestic epidemic control is good, domestic tourism will thrive, Tung said. It is predicted that in the second half of May to the end of August, domestic tourists will boom strongly. If visitors who previously went abroad, people waited until 2020 until 2021, they will still not be able to travel abroad, this year will definitely go in the country as long as we are under control of the epidemic. “In my opinion, this object will help recover 70-80% from the time when tourism thrives in 2019. We have now fully prepared for transportation, accommodation and especially human resources. service forces, guides, to be ready to welcome visitors “, said Mr. Tung. Da Nang beach was crowded again on weekends, including many tourists. Ms. Tran My Quyen, Deputy Director of Hanh Huong Viet One Member Limited Company, said that in the summer, tourists want to tour in the direction of family, group of friends and want to go to places of entertainment, swimming and relaxation. check in the beautiful landscape. Therefore, the company has given many options to meet all requirements of all components and groups of customers. For example, cooperating with other travel companies to sell vacation tours connecting Da Nang with other lands and localities (Hue, Hoi An, Da Lat, Phu Quoc, Ha Long, Con Dao. ..). “We continue to explore resort services at homestays, villas, 4-star hotels or more with swimming pools and buffet and eco-tourism areas, vegetable gardens … At the same time, price promotions. Best for travelers who choose tours with experience activities on the sea such as rowing, fishing, swimming, … combining rustic tours, camping, fire, overnight cultural exchanges, pick me up … like a tour “ Thong Son Cha “That we have introduced to visitors”, Ms. Quyen shared. Tourists are excited to experience yachts watching the Han River at night. Identifying the tourism trend this year has a big change, with the first priority of visitors is ensuring health safety, Ms. Le Thi Bich Huong, Marketing and Communication Director of Mineral Park Tourist Area hot Nui Than Tai (Da Nang), said the unit focused more on the quality of the destination, interested in medical tourism and health care, towards ecology. “In preparation for the tourist recovery this summer, Nui Than Tai Hot Spring Park renovated and put into operation new service items to increase the experience for visitors such as renovating and expanding the mineral lake. Hot Huyet Long Ho with new lake clusters, planting more orchid species to create a fresh landscape; both taking care of your health but meeting the need of taking check-in photos for visitors, creating for visitors to like To be in harmony with nature At the same time, we add the Himalayan salt rock sauna, with free Japanese style Onsen bath service to help visitors have more new experiences … to meet the needs tourism demand for health care “, Ms. Huong shared. Mr. Nguyen Son Thuy, Director of Dong Duong Duy Nhat Tourism Co., Ltd said, in the past year, tourism businesses not only of Da Nang but also neighboring localities have very close links to create. products to stimulate demand according to customer needs. The new trend of domestic tourists is going in small groups, choosing safe spots, so tourism businesses also choose to increase service values, increase new experiences for tourists at their tourist destinations. Da Nang in particular, Central in general. “Enterprises are proactively diversifying products, building products close to nature, targeting the practical needs of domestic tourists to attract tourists in this tourist season,” said Thuy. know. All destinations measure body temperature, are equipped with masks, disinfectant water … for customers to ensure safety. According to the General Director of Tourism Nguyen Trung Khanh, in 2021, the tourism industry determined that domestic tourism is still the main direction of exploitation. To do that, localities need to support businesses, especially mechanisms and policies to attract visitors back; building new tourism products suitable to the context and needs of tourists. For Da Nang, the city has been very creative in developing tourism stimulus programs that are attractive in both price and quality. This shows the determination of the city tourism industry, as well as the local tourism businesses. “Da Nang needs to identify specific solutions to both recovering and doing business in tourism; concentrating on domestic tourists as the main source, but also preparing plans to welcome international visitors when eligible and available. appropriate policies to attract returning visitors Special attention should be paid to the structure and reconstruction of unique and attractive tourism products suitable for new types of tourism such as sea resorts, mountain resorts, health care, short-term travel … At the same time, ensuring quality human resources for the tourism industry when activities are gradually returning “, said Mr. Nguyen Trung Khanh. More than anyone, each tour company must commit to ensuring the 5K criterion when welcoming tourists on their tour. It is necessary to keep the safety on the tour so that we can hope and expect the exciting return of the tourism industry in the coming time.

President Ceferin of UEFA. Photo: Getty. On the evening of April 20 (Hanoi time), The Times bringing one of the clubs MU, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool may consider withdrawing from the Super League. Initially, the British “Bix Six” team was excited about the Super League project and agreed to participate as a co-founder. However, English teams, especially Liverpool and MU, faced fierce opposition from fans. Liverpool fans even burned shirts and raised banners to protest in front of Anfield. Fans of MU, Arsenal, and Tottenham also made drastic moves. Mundo Deportivo it is predicted that the first England team to withdraw from the Super League could be Man City or Chelsea. Super League is facing a stiff response from UEFA. On the afternoon of April 20, the World Football Federation (FIFA) spoke up to support UEFA. President Gianni Infantino stressed that the Super League wants to be separated from the football system. The head of FIFA declared that the teams have two options: to stay present, or to shake everything to go to the Super League. “There is no such thing as clubs on both sides,” Infantino said. Previously, UEFA threatened to remove the names of clubs from the domestic league and the playing fields under the organization’s management. The Premier League, La Liga and Serie A support UEFA’s plan. President Ceferin also warned players who played in the Super League are banned from EURO. In the opposite direction, only President Florentino Perez spoke up. The Super League head dismissed all criticism, and threatened the tournament. Perez said players should be assured because there will be no basis to ban them from attending the EURO or the World Cup.

The Super League was the slap on UEFA’s Champions League restructuring project on 36 teams. The most powerful football agency in Europe affirmed it would do everything to prevent this “rude project”. Old continental football heads are also believed to be furious at the advent of the Super League. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is also part of the opposition, saying the Super League will “harm football” and is asking sports leaders to step in. The European Clubs Association (ECA) requested an emergency meeting over the weekend for the project, but none of the Super League founding groups attended. The participants were in fact only Ajax CEO Edwin van der Sar and representatives of Bayern and PSG. Not stopping there, representatives of the Premier League, Serie A and La Liga all oppose this plan. England participated in the Super League the most when the Big 6 including MU, Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham were all said to have agreed. Knowing this information, Gary Neville indignantly: “Everything is bullshit. I have been a MU fan for 40 years but I feel disgusting. I am most disgusted with MU and Liverpool. Gary Neville Liverpool, they are always proud of the slogan “You will never have to go alone”, which is the national team, the fan club. MU is a team with a history of 100 years from workers, but are they planning to give everything to an unbeatable tournament where they are not relegated? It’s a shame and we have to take back our power from the top clubs in this country, including mine. This is purely greed, they (the bosses) are club imposters. They have nothing to do with the football of this country. The fan community here is 100 years old, who live, love football and the club wholeheartedly. They need protection. I make a lot of money from football, I make a lot of money from football, I invest money in a football club. I am not against economic employment from football. But there need to be fair rules for a tournament, the right for a team like Leicester to win the league and go to the Champions League. MU is not even attending the Champions League. So are Arsenal and Tottenham. But do they want the privilege of taking part in top tournaments? A pathetic satire. Enough is enough, this greed needs to end. My responses are not based solely on feelings. I am very honest. Subtract 6 clubs from tomorrow, push them to the bottom of the chart and cut all their money. It takes strong action “. Agreeing with the old game, Sir Alex Ferguson responded: “Super League pulls back the 70-year history of European club football. As a player of Dunfermline provincial football in the 1960s and fourths. The way the Aberdeen manager won the European Cup Winners’ Cup, I understood that a team in Scotland attending the European Cup was like climbing Everest. Everton spent £ 500 million to build a new stadium with ambitions to attend the Champions League. Fans around the world love this tournament. When I was at MU, we reached the finals four times and those were always special nights. I am not sure if MU will participate in the Super League, but I am not part of the decision making.

Talking with enterprises participating in the course, Mr. Nguyen Viet Long said that digital transformation in enterprises is the integration and application of digital technology to improve business efficiency, management efficiency of enterprises and create new values. Digital transformation activities can range from digitizing business management data, applying digital technology to automating, optimizing business processes, management processes, and manufacturing. business, reporting processes, coordinating work within the business to transforming the entire business model, creating new value for the business.

According to Mr. Long, the breakthrough development in digital technology has allowed to provide a variety of solutions for businesses in digital transformation. As an evidence, Mr. Long said, an artificial intelligence-based chatbot in e-commerce can serve 3.5 million people / day, replacing the unmanned device that can collect and analyze resolution images. prize for oil and gas exploration in just 5 days, while before it took 8 weeks in the traditional way …

The fundamental course in digital transformation has attracted the attention of many businesses

It is forecast that about 800 million jobs will be lost due to automation by 2030, but only about 10,000 employees worldwide have enough skills for research in artificial intelligence. According to analysis from the BBC, 35% of jobs will face the risk of being replaced by robots in the next 20 years.

Therefore, Mr. Long said that digital transformation should be considered as the top priority of businesses. Enterprises also need to build a digital transformation strategy associated with the business strategy, ensuring it is consistent with the actual situation and the transformation capacity of the business.

Suggesting about building a digital transformation roadmap for businesses, Mr. Long said that, in the preparation phase, it is necessary to define strategic goals and digital transformation visions, develop a digital transformation strategy integrated into the strategy. An overview of the business is based on an assessment of the enterprise’s readiness and goals, and at the same time defining the overall architecture of the business.

Phase 1 is transforming the number of business models, in which the focus is on the application of digital technology to expand the distribution, marketing, sales channel system and improve the efficiency of customer care. In addition, it is also necessary to step by step deploy digital technology for the supply chain, apply digital technology to accounting, finance …, develop security policies.

Phase 2 is to complete and transform the number of management models, focusing on optimizing and improving management capacity, focusing on ERP, HRM systems, planning systems, job management, report…

Stage 3 is to connect business and administration, innovate and create new products and services.

Evaluating solutions, technology solution providers that help businesses transform digitally, Deputy General Director Ernst & Young Vietnam said that enterprises can prioritize to learn and use first domestic solutions, Especially, the auxiliary solutions, small and medium, solutions with the management regulations of the state.

Meanwhile, with solutions from foreign suppliers, Mr. Long said that these solutions have optimal design, good performance, scalability, but sometimes the features are not close to the market. , high costs associated with support services will be slower than domestic solutions.

Therefore, it is advisable to choose solutions that have been deployed by partners in Vietnam for better support, and at the same time take advantage of open source solutions to reduce costs.

Digital Transformation Fundamentals is an activity in the Digital Transformation Business Program for the period 2021-2025 of the Ministry of Planning and Investment in cooperation with development partners, to help businesses apply the public digital technology to improve the efficiency of production and business activities, enhance capacities and competitive advantages, and create new values ​​for businesses. The program aims that 100% of businesses will have access to information, 100,000 businesses will receive support from the Program …

“Core Tips”

Domestic mobile phone manufacturers have seized the high-end market and successively launched high-end series of mobile phones, with prices soaring. The high-end route is still taking pictures, endorsements and making chips, all of which are the paths that Huawei has taken. It is an insurance approach, but it also lacks new ideas. Huawei’s high-end route is already 5 years ago, and the Chinese mobile phone market needs new tricks.

Author｜ Ma Hui

Edit｜ Zhang Yang

The high-end war of domestic mobile phones has entered a white-hot state.

On March 11, OPPO released FindX3, which attracted the endorsement of Wenqing master Jiang Wen, which enriched OPPO’s temperament. Ten days later, OnePlus released the 9 series in a high profile, and the hot search on Weibo couldn’t stop. After another 5 days, Xiaomi held its first spring conference, and brought Mi11UItra and a folding machine to screen the circle of friends.

Everyone is doing the same thing: hitting the high end.

The domestic high-end mobile phone market has been dominated by Samsung and IPhone for a long time. Domestic mobile phone manufacturers can only fight in the quagmire of low prices. After Huawei rushed out for a short time, it was suddenly hit by technical sanctions and was forced to withdraw from the competition in the high-end market. This leaves a window of space for the high-end market.

This time, domestic mobile phone manufacturers seized the opportunity for upward assault. At the end of 2020, OPPO announced that it would take the All For One product route and break the game with FindX3. OnePlus announced that Shigekura’s offline channels are “no longer small but beautiful.” Lei Jun accelerated the launch of Mi 11, and domestic mobile phone manufacturers are all betting on high-end.

High-end products have become more expensive, more cameras, and higher pixels. The practice of raising the brand’s grade is nothing more than cooperating with well-known camera manufacturers, looking for big names to endorse, and making chips.

It seems that domestic mobile phone manufacturers are just copying Huawei’s old way of hitting high-end, and they have not made new moves.

1. Propaganda by the boss, endorsement by big coffee

The impact of Huawei’s core shortage will be apparent at the end of 2020. In the fourth quarter, shipments fell sharply by 42%. In the first half of the year, Huawei also occupied 44.1% of the high-end mobile phone market in China, surpassing Apple’s ranking first.

Huawei’s contraction leaves behind a large high-end market, while the space for China’s high-end market continues to grow. According to IDC data, the market share of China’s high-end smartphone market in the second quarter of 2020 is close to 40%.

With the growth of the high-end market, Huawei has withdrawn from the competition, leaving domestic mobile phone manufacturers with the best opportunity for high-end. At the end of 2020, Xiaomi, Huawei, OPPO and VIVO respectively launched 4 new models, all priced at three or four thousand yuan.

In the New Year’s speeches, mobile phone manufacturers have raised high-end to unprecedented heights.

OPPO Chen Mingyong announced that he will be among the first echelon of high-end flagship phones and break the game through FindX3. Chen Mingyong clearly recognizes that 2021 is the battlefield for high-end flagship aircraft, because the voice of opponents is not low.

At the end of the year, OnePlus, which had always kept silent in the country, increased its propaganda efforts at the end of the year. In his internal letter, Liu Zuohu asked employees to be ambitious and determined. After the release of OnePlus 9 in March, Liu Zuohu frequently appeared in public places, intensively mentioning that he would be a market upgrader and hit the top of high-end mobile phones.

The founders shouted and invited big-name celebrities to the platform to enhance the brand’s tone. OPPO took the lead in launching FindX3 with Jiang Wen. On Weibo start-up pages, subways, and bus stations, you can see Jiang Wen’s gentle face wearing tortoiseshell glasses with a smile on the corners of his mouth. Inviting Master Wenqing to bless, OPPO’s attempt to tear off the label of “factory sister machine” is very obvious.

OnePlus invited Hu Ge and Zhou Xun to endorsements. Netizens said, “It feels like OnePlus’ mobile phone is suddenly’up to the next level'”.

Domestic mobile phones abandoned their fascination with traffic stars. OPPO once signed more than 10 big-name celebrities such as Yang Mi, Di Lieba, Li Yifeng, TFboys, and Yang Yang. VIVO’s celebrity endorsements are among Lu Han, Peng Yuyan, Cai Xukun, and Lisa, and they have changed soup without changing medicine for many years.

Abandoning the merchandising logic of who is hot and who is the endorsement, domestic mobile phones take advantage of the strength of the big coffee, hoping to build a high-end brand awareness.

Xiaomi invited the original Kenza to design a new logo, changing Xiaomi’s impression of “cost-effectiveness” from the outside to the inside, creating a sense of technology and a sense of the future, and doing a thorough brand upgrade. At the Xiaomi press conference, Xiaomi took the opportunity to sell Xiaomi 11Ultra starting at 5,999 yuan, and also announced Xiaomi’s decision to build a car.

It can be said that battles in the high-end mobile phone market are one after another.

In addition to publicity, each company has also made corresponding adjustments in its products. VIVO confirmed the three thousand yuan and four thousand yuan files for X and flagship NEX. OPPO reorganized the product line, upgraded the R series to Reno and Find to FindX, and determined the parallel route of the two products.

After going through the chaotic Note and Max era, Xiaomi saved the digital series in the mid-to-high-end cost-effective way, and Mix explored upwards.

From the inside out, to the transformation of the product side, domestic mobile phones are all working towards the high-end.

1. Taking photos is easy to learn, cultural output is lame

It is a consensus in the industry that heap hardware cannot be high-end, but high-end configuration is essential.

If you look at the vivoX60, OPPOFindX3, OnePlus 9, Xiaomi 11Ultra recently released by mobile phone manufacturers, three of them are flagship phones with standard Snapdragon 888, and the performance and selling points are similar. The most important imaging system has 100 million pixels and 50 million wide-angle. , X times digital zoom, even microscope mode, professional periscope telephoto, the camera changes from one to four, and easily 1 billion colors, 60w or more fast charge, pan-tilt anti-shake has become standard.

The rest is design, feel, and even labeling. For example, who can be the first to put the title of “Android Machine King” on himself. Similar labels include “Video Machine King” and “Android Light”.

When the technical parameters had already been internalized and could not be self-certified, mobile phone manufacturers began a cross-border alliance, VIVO teamed up with Zeiss, OnePlus and Hasselblad.

This kind of high-end advanced route that seems to add points is actually not a new practice.

In 2016, Huawei succeeded in getting Mate7 out of the circle through a cross-border joint method. On the camera, Huawei invited Leica to work with Leica to polish the “Leica lens” and install it on a Huawei mobile phone. This is the first time that a mobile phone has the camera’s aperture and blur function, and it has taken advantage of the trend of “Young People’s Number One”. “Taiwan Leica” marketing slogan.

This successful endorsement enabled Huawei to take advantage of its camera technology, coupled with the precise high-end positioning of the Mate and P series, the gradual maturity of Kirin chips, and the output of soft marketing, Huawei has established itself in the high-end market in 5 years.

Put Huawei’s high-end road aside and compare it with the current high-end practices of domestic mobile phone manufacturers. Whether it is from cross-border friendship, playing camera cards, or changing endorsements, the once successful Huawei has become a target of “plagiarism.”

However, it is not special to pull old-brand cameras to do endorsement. No matter which domestic mobile phone manufacturer is, it is difficult to break through just by pulling the endorsement of the camera manufacturer and refreshing the parameters like the original Huawei.

And what really dominates the user’s mind is the soft output. In contrast to Apple, this mobile phone company, which never takes parameters as a selling point, dominates the minds of users with high standards of quality and geek spirit. In 2015, Huawei began to create the “Huawei Dream”, created a short piano girl “Dream It Possible” overseas, laid out “ballet feet” advertisements, and invited the ball king Messi to endorse, telling the cultural foundation of Huawei’s struggle and battle. It laid a solid foundation for Huawei’s high-end development.

The same is soft output. Huawei has created the “Jazz Life”, “The Gentleman Rulan”, and “The Years Are Like Water” series of business propaganda films, which accurately encloses the elite group for Huawei. This is precisely the fact that the manufacturers who have been fighting for many years in the low-priced market have not made up for it. Qi’s shortcomings.

The road to high-end domestic mobile phones requires more exploration than taking pictures.

1. It’s not so easy to make chips

The hardware configuration is getting mature day by day, but in terms of core technology, each company is still struggling.

Especially under the predicament of global core shortage, even if Xiaomi announced the first release of the Snapdragon 888 chip, the price-performance ratio of Xiaomi 11 outperformed the late OnePlus 9, but it still has to face the problem of core shortage.

According to an industry insider, in the global shortage of cores, mobile phone manufacturers not only need to place an order first, but also need to grab the goods if they want to get the components. The amount of goods distributed by each company is variable and limited.

Huawei is the chip to achieve a breakthrough. For domestic mobile phone manufacturers, the chip is a must for high-end.

However, there is a price to pay for making chips. In 2014, Huawei’s first chip, K3V2, was applied to a variety of models, but it would freeze within two months. Huawei also left the impression of “Giga” at that time.

K3V2 also accumulated experience for later Kirin chips. In 2015, Huawei P9 equipped with Kirin 955, becoming Huawei’s first flagship machine with sales exceeding 10 million. Kirin chips slowly developed, reaching the top Kirin 9000 in 960, 970, and becoming the core competitiveness of Huawei’s high-end flagship Mate and P series.

Behind this is huge R&D investment. Huawei started to make mobile phone processors in 2009. According to Huawei’s 2020 Intellectual Property White Paper, in the 10 years from 2010 to 2019, Huawei has invested a total of US$90 billion in research and development expenses. According to the ranking of enterprise R&D investment released by the China Business Industry Research Institute, Huawei ranked first with 131.7 billion yuan in 2019, surpassing Alibaba, China Mobile, Baidu and JD.com.

Huawei has launched a HiSilicon in 10 years. It is a bottomless investment to make chips. Mobile phone manufacturers have to work hard on chips when they are hitting the high-end.

OPPO has established a semiconductor company and hired grassroots engineers from Spreadtrum and Huawei. In the spring and autumn recruitment of fresh graduates in 2020, OPPO spends a lot of money to recruit people, and the salary is 2 times higher than the average salary. This makes semiconductor insiders nervous and expecting, “It’s better to be willing to spend money than not to spend it.”

However, the industry is holding a wait-and-see attitude on whether OPPO can successfully make cores. Because the engineers recruited came from different companies, OPPO was reported to be incompatible with the team. On a professional website in the semiconductor industry, suspected internal engineers caused controversy on the internal posts of OPPO core manufacturing, mainly due to the division of labor.

Xiaomi started to make chips in 2014 and only produced a small chip in 2021. The hardship is self-evident.

What’s more cruel is that when Huawei originally developed chips, Apple and Samsung were still using third-party chips. Now Apple uses self-developed chips. Samsung will restart its self-developed chip project plan in 2020. Domestic mobile phone manufacturers want to improve performance, Surpassing them in experience is more difficult than Huawei.

High-endization can not be easily achieved by combining a big name or asking a big coffee to endorse it. The R&D and value output behind it are all a long-term process. Domestic mobile phone manufacturers seem a little anxious, and they have not yet made the path of Huawei’s high-endization. rely.

“Technological innovation” has become a hot topic in the Internet industry. What kind of innovation is the innovation that a technology company should have? Through “China Innovation Company 100”, we try to answer these questions.

Recently, Sohu Technology held the first phase of the “China Innovation Company 100” chip series salon event. Liu Leibo, long-term professor of Tsinghua University and distinguished professor of Changjiang Scholars, Wu Youwen, vice president of Wingtech Technology, and Zhao Zhanxiang, partner and chief technology officer of Yunxiu Capital, discussed the new opportunities for domestic substitution under the global core shortage. This article is a wonderful view shared by Zhao Zhanxiang at the salon.

Under the global core shortage, the domestic semiconductor primary market is still hot. Recently, at the first phase of the “China Innovative Company 100” chip series salon held by Sohu Technology, Zhao Zhanxiang, partner and chief technology officer of Yunxiu Capital, mentioned that in the past two years, investment institutions have begun to look at semiconductors, and many are rushing to pre- -IPO projects, but some institutions are not pure investment, but are highly speculative.

This wave of intensified core shortages does not seem to affect the market’s pursuit of semiconductors, but the impact on enterprises is real. Zhao Zhanxiang said that compared with the shortage of memory chips in 2016 and 2017, this time there is a shortage of cores in the entire industry, which is relatively rare, and has a different impact on each link in the industry chain.

For terminal manufacturers, relying too much on a certain supplier may be affected to a certain extent; design companies and Foundry (chip foundries) with production capacity or stocks on hand can adjust their product structure and prioritize production of high profitable ones. Products, earn more money; some start-up companies are expected to get the opportunity to enter the supply chain of major customers; the most influential companies are those that have no capacity before and want to take capacity temporarily.

For investment institutions, in addition to listing, mergers and acquisitions are also an important exit path, but the current domestic semiconductor mergers and acquisitions are not active. Zhao Zhanxiang believes that in a few years, the number of mergers and acquisitions by Chinese semiconductor companies will be very large, and the scale will gradually increase. Now there are three or four thousand domestic chip companies, and it is expected that in 10 years, there will be more than 50 companies with a market value of more than tens of billions. US dollars, in which many mergers and acquisitions will occur.

Different types of companies have different merger strategies. He said that mergers and acquisitions of digital chip companies are often for the deployment of new products or next-generation technologies-taking time to do it yourself, it is easy to miss the time window, and it is better to acquire start-up companies that have done better. M&As of analog chip companies are more to expand product lines. The more products and the more complete they are, the easier it is to be favored by customers, but a company often cannot do it all by itself.

In the salon exchange, Zhao Zhanxiang also shared his views on the core manufacturing of major Internet companies from the perspective of investment. He believes that domestic Internet companies must first solve the business model problem of making cores. Either turn the chip into a product that helps the company make money, or invest in an independent chip company outside and have a certain control over it. These companies can also use their own The platform is growing rapidly, and the latter is a better way.

Regarding the investment opportunities under the domestic substitution, Zhao Zhanxiang said that now semiconductor investment has entered the deep water zone, all the good fruits have been picked, and the rest are difficult to pick. He mentioned that since the beginning of this year, investment institutions are also focusing on areas with deep moats, low localization rates, and large capital needs, such as large chips such as CPUs and GPUs, and EDA.

In addition, IDM-based domestic memory chip manufacturers and third-generation compound semiconductor manufacturers have also raised large amounts of financing this year; automotive sensors, radars, and high-end chips in the industrial field are also very hot, with high thresholds. , Has the ability to expand horizontally in the future.

He also called on the state to have more policy support for chip companies that are willing to sit on the “cold bench”, difficult and long-cycle chip companies, and investment institutions should be more patient and pay attention to more early stage and greater value for China’s innovation. the company.

The following is Zhao Zhanxiang’s sharing record (deleted and sorted out)

Sohu Technology: You have been in contact with many startups. What impact does the current lack of cores have on them?

Zhao Zhanxiang:The impact of the lack of cores on each link of the industry chain, such as terminal manufacturers, intermediary agents, chip design companies, and Foundry (chip foundry), is different. For terminal manufacturers, relying too much on a certain supplier will be affected. For example, a certain chip of a mobile phone manufacturer has always come from one supplier. Suddenly the capacity of this supplier is tight. At this time, it is difficult to transfer to another supplier. Without a long-term cooperative relationship, the other party will not temporarily give you the capacity. .

When I made memory chips myself, it was normal to be out of stock, especially memory chips have a very strong periodicity. For example, in 2016, NAND FLASH (flash memory) was in short supply globally; in 2017, DRAM (memory) chips were in short supply globally, and the price increased seven times. If the agent has gone through this cycle, it can predict the situation of tight production capacity and stock up in advance.

For design companies and Foundry, if it is a company that has production capacity or stocks on hand, it actually hopes that it lacks cores and raises prices, so that its profits will be higher. If there is a relatively stable supply of production capacity, the response to the shortage of cores will be adequate. Although the production capacity cannot be further increased, the proportion of some high-margin products can be expanded. In this way, although the overall sales revenue volume does not grow so fast, the gross profit increases, and the final profit margin will increase.

In addition, under the current situation, large customers are also willing to introduce new suppliers, which is just an opportunity for some start-up companies. But it does have an impact on small, low-capacity companies, and these companies still have to reserve cash for the winter at this point in time. The biggest impact of the lack of core is that companies that did not have production capacity before, and want to temporarily take production capacity, now it is difficult to squeeze production capacity.

Sohu Technology: There were also global core shortages in 2016 and 2017. What is the difference between this time and the previous ones?

Zhao Zhanxiang:The semiconductor industry has been cyclical since its inception, and it is difficult to fundamentally solve the lack of core tide. The core reason is that it takes more than a year for semiconductor production capacity expansion, but demand is increasing rapidly. In 2016, NAND FLASH shifted from 2D technology to 3D technology. 2D production capacity was partially withdrawn and turned to 3D. However, the yield rate of 3D did not increase, resulting in a decrease in market supply, and increased demand for mobile phones and data centers. PC SSD (solid state) Hard drives) have increased in capacity and demand soared. This is the same as the memory shortage in 2017, which is an imbalance between supply and demand.

This time there is a shortage of cores in the entire industry, which has a lot to do with the epidemic and the rapid spread of 5G mobile phones. Market demand has increased and supply cannot keep up. This kind of large-scale core shortage is relatively rare, and companies need to prepare in advance to stock up in advance when there is a sign of core shortage. In addition, the financial strength must be large, and a long-term cooperative relationship with the fab is also required.

Sohu Technology: How do you view the opportunities for domestic substitution from the current shortage of cores? How to treat the current level of localization?

Zhao Zhanxiang:What domestically produced substitutes have to solve is the stuck neck problem. Now the good fruits of the semiconductor industry have been picked, and the rest are more difficult to pick, such as CPU, GPU, DSP, FPGA, and memory chips NAND FLASH, DRAM and other fields with a low localization rate. These localization rates in the next ten years need to exceed 50% or even higher, which is a very difficult task.

Semiconductor manufacturing equipment and materials currently have the greatest impact on the neck. China can now build lithography machines, but it is relatively low-end and can only do 90nm. Once the key materials, key EDA tools used for designing chips, and IP are blocked, it will have an impact on the industry. It is also very large, and it is urgent to realize domestic substitution.

On the other hand, my country’s innovation fields need to be synchronized with the world, such as quantum chips, photonic computing, and new sensors in mobile phones. Now we are faster in the iterative speed of new technologies than abroad, the pace of work is faster, capital investment, human investment are stronger, there are reasons to be more confident in our level of innovation.

Sohu Technology: Semiconductor investment has been very hot since last year. Under the tide of domestic substitution, what are the relatively large investment opportunities?

Zhao Zhanxiang:Yunxiu Capital has been paying attention to the semiconductor industry very early. According to our observations, there were not many investment institutions that looked at semiconductors before 2017. After the ZTE Huawei incident, many institutions began to look at this field. Semiconductors are not only a policy-oriented market, but there is really strong market demand. Large domestic customers used to have only the top three suppliers in the world, but now they also want to supply the domestic supply chain. This is a big market opportunity.

After the establishment of the Sci-tech Innovation Board, semiconductor companies performed very well on the Sci-tech Innovation Board. Although the number of the SCI-Tech Innovation Board accounted for only 15%, the total market value exceeded 30%. Last year, the market value increased by an average of 40%. Due to the popularity of the science and technology innovation board, the amount of investment in the primary market of semiconductors last year exceeded 140 billion yuan, a nearly five-fold increase compared to 2019. Last year’s primary market equity investment enthusiasm was mainly concentrated in Pre-IPO projects, but their valuations are very high, and the return on exit may not be that large. Everyone is going to grab the Pre IPO quota. It is no longer pure investment, but very speculative.

This year, many investment institutions are focusing on areas with deep moats, low localization rates and relatively large capital needs, such as large chips such as GPUs and CPUs, and companies in areas such as EDA software. IDM’s financing this year is also very large. Many domestic memory chip manufacturers and third-generation compound semiconductor manufacturers are all in the IDM model. Subdivision areas have also attracted much attention, such as automotive sensors, radars, and high-end chips in the industrial field. The threshold is very high, and the future has the ability to expand horizontally.

Sohu Technology: For investment institutions, mergers and acquisitions are also an important exit path. What do you think of the M&A trends in China’s semiconductor industry?

Zhao Zhanxiang:Last year, global semiconductor mergers and acquisitions were very hot, and the overall capital estimate exceeded 100 billion U.S. dollars. M&As of overseas giants often lie in their strategic layout. There are not so many domestic mergers and acquisitions, but now there are three or four thousand domestic chip companies. In 10 years, there will be more than 50 companies that will become tens of billions of dollars. There will be many mergers and acquisitions. Integration occurs mainly due to three factors:

First, the market value of leading companies in the industry is relatively high, and they need to install new assets to support their stock prices; second, digital chip companies need to lay out the upstream and downstream industrial chain, and analog chip companies need to increase product lines in order to continue to expand; third , The future liquidity of small market capitalization companies on the Science and Technology Innovation Board may not be so good, and capital withdrawal after listing may not be ideal. It is better to sell to large companies for cash in advance. Therefore, the number of mergers and acquisitions of Chinese semiconductor companies in the future will be very large, and the scale will gradually increase.

Sohu Technology: If domestic chip companies become bigger and stronger, are mergers and acquisitions necessary? What are the differences in M&A strategies for different types of companies?

Zhao Zhanxiang:The threshold of the semiconductor industry is very high. If you do not acquire, you need to do it yourself from scratch, and the time and cost to spend is very high. So now many companies are willing to go overseas mergers and acquisitions, because overseas companies have already accumulated a lot. However, the ultimate goal of the acquisition is either for technology or for the team, but if it cannot be digested, the value of the acquisition will not be that great.

From the perspective of the development of technology companies, it is common for large companies to acquire small companies, but the acquisition strategies of digital chip companies and analog chip companies are different. Digital chip company acquisitions are often for the layout of the next product or next-generation technology. There are many new directions, and it is impossible to invest heavily in research and development for each. Instead of spending four or five years trial and error, it is better to acquire a ready-made company so as not to miss the time window.

Many times analog chip companies merge to expand their product lines. China’s largest analog chip company now has thousands of product lines, and giant companies such as TI and ADI have tens of thousands of product specifications, which is convenient for customer supply chain management and has a great advantage in winning customers. Therefore, for domestic analog chip companies, the future will definitely increase product lines through mergers and acquisitions.

Sohu Technology: From an investment point of view, how do you think about the Internet to make cores? What problems will you face?

Zhao Zhanxiang:Internet companies must first solve the business model problem for core manufacturing. Internet companies may only need hundreds of thousands or millions of chips a year, while the chip industry has technological iterations every year, and the annual investment in new products is high or even doubled. How can Internet manufacturers bear the cost? Strength to feed the chip team? This is difficult commercially.

Foreign Google and Amazon are very successful in making chips. They are not made to digest the chips by themselves and reduce costs, but are strategic layouts. Through self-developed chips, the number of virtual machines supported by a single machine increases, and then the services are sold to cloud computing customers. , To recover the cost of the chip through service.

How do domestic Internet companies recover the cost of making chips through services? Either through business model innovation to turn the chip into a product that helps the company make money, or invest in an external independent chip company to have a certain degree of control over it, and let them grow quickly with their own platform. This is a better way.

Sohu Technology: Do you have any suggestions for promoting the development of China’s chip industry and domestic substitution?

Zhao Zhanxiang:The Sci-tech Innovation Board needs to continue to encourage high-quality loss-making companies to be listed. The development cycle of chips is very long, and it is difficult to generate tens of millions or hundreds of millions of profits in the short term. If these companies are required to make profits before they can go public, everyone is not willing to make difficult chips, but will be short and fast, attracting speculative people. , This is bad for the industry.

The country needs to have some policy inclination for companies that are willing to sit on the “cold bench”, with long cycles and high difficulties. Many institutions now tend to invest in Pre IPO projects for short-term IPOs and exits. This is not very helpful for many innovative companies or companies that really need money. Therefore, I also hope that the exit cycle of investment institutions can be longer and be patient to invest in earlier and earlier, Companies with greater innovation value to China.
