According to Bloomberg on Wednesday ( 6 month twenty three Japan) The latest report that the Bank of Thailand announced that the country’s interest rates will remain at 0.5% Unchanged, and lowered the GDP Growth expectations, 2021 Year GDP Growth expected by 3% Down to 1.8% , 2022 Year GDP Growth expectations are determined by 4.7% Down to 3.9% . In addition, the Bank of Thailand is not optimistic about the prospects of the country’s tourism industry. 2021 The year’s forecast for visitors to Thailand is determined by 300 10,000 person-times dropped 70 Million person-times.

Why did the Bank of Thailand lower the country’s economic growth expectations? That’s because Thailand’s tourism industry has always been the country’s main economic pillar, but since the outbreak of the epidemic in 2020, Thailand’s tourism industry has been severely hit.

According to data from the Thailand Tourism Association, 2019 Thailand’s tourism industry created huge revenues for the country in 2.2 Trillion baht (equivalent to RMB approximately 4840 Billion), accounting for the country GDP Total value 20% , There are as many tourists visiting Thailand 3960 Wanzhi 3980 Million person-times.According to data from the Tourism Authority of Thailand, 2020 In 2015, the total number of tourists visiting Thailand was only 670 10,000 passengers, shrinking year-on-year 83.2% , The total revenue from tourism is 3320 100 million baht (equivalent to RMB approximately 730 100 million yuan), a sharp drop year-on-year 84.9% .

For Thailand’s tourism industry, the large number of Chinese tourists has always been the biggest business opportunity. Most of Thailand’s local scenic spot ticket consumption and duty-free shop consumption are from Chinese tourists. According to data from the Tourism Authority of Thailand, 2020 The number of foreign tourists in Thailand’s tourism industry in 2015 was Chinese tourists, with a total of nearly 125 10,000 passengers, but this number has dropped nearly 800 Million. In order to restore the decline of the tourism industry as soon as possible, Thailand has accelerated the promotion of vaccination, and the country’s tourism bureau also issued health and safety certification marks to 300 tourism companies in Phuket. On June 17 this year, Thai Prime Minister Prayut stated that the country will reopen in the next 120 days and allow tourists who have been vaccinated against the new crown to visit Thailand. He believes that this is the fastest way to bring the country’s tourism industry back to life. method. Text | Zhang Jianlin Questions | Zeng Yitu | Lu Wenxiangshen | Lu Shuoyi

After Brexit Great Britain and Australia sign trade pact

Status: 15.06.2021 12:07 p.m. Great Britain and Australia have agreed on a free trade agreement. The deal will ensure further growth, announced the government in London. But there are also skeptical voices. For the first time since Brexit, Great Britain has signed a completely renegotiated trade agreement. Prime Minister Boris Johnson reached a free trade agreement with his Australian colleague Scott Morrison. The heads of government have cleared the last stumbling blocks out of the way in the past few days, said both sides.

Boost for 3.5 million employees?

Accordingly, manufacturers of cars and whiskey would benefit from duty-free, the government announced in London. Young Britons under 35 should be given more freedom to live and work in Australia. Industries with around 3.5 million employees in the UK received a boost. The contract will ensure further growth. “Today marks a new dawn in the UK’s relationship with Australia, one that is fueled by our shared history and values,” said Johnson. Australian Trade Minister Dan Tehan described the deal as a “gain for jobs, businesses, free trade”.

“Good news for both countries”

In 2020, UK-Australian trade was worth £ 13.9 billion – around € 16.15 billion. The UK is Australia’s fifth largest trading partner. Before the British became part of the EU and with it the internal market in 1973, Australia was even the most important trading partner. Economist Gabriele Suder from RMIT University in Melbourne welcomed the British-Australian deal. This is good news for both countries. After all, it is the first agreement in the post-Brexit era. She expects the deal to bring the Australian economy 1.3 billion Australian dollars (around 830 million euros) annually. Other experts believe the pact will be more important to Britain. Australia has a strong trade focus on Asia.

British farmers fear imports

However, the pact with Australia is controversial in Great Britain. Farmers fear a flood of imports of lamb and beef as soon as customs duties cease to exist. This could affect British sheep and cattle farmers. The government in London stressed that the deal included ceilings on duty-free imports over the next 15 years, as well as quotas and other safeguards. Farmers’ associations called on parliament to closely monitor the contract. According to Australian data, the country’s farmers will benefit from the agreement.

Treaties with dozens of states

Great Britain is currently repositioning itself after Brexit. Since the UK left the EU, it has signed trade deals with dozens of countries. However, these were always copies of the pre-Brexit EU treaties with these states.

Decoding the Hong Kong stocks, the original trump card column of the Hong Kong Caihua News Agency, and financial experts gathered. After reading, remember to subscribe, comment, and like.

Shot again! This time, Ganfeng Lithium aimed at the lithium mines in the Republic of Mali. By throwing 130 million US dollars, it acquired 50% of the shares of Dutch SPV and obtained the underwriting rights of its spodumene mine project in the Republic of Mali.

The Dutch company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Australian listed company Firefinch. Firefinch’s main business is the development of gold and lithium mines in Mali. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary Goulamina Holdings, it holds 100% of Timbuktu Resources and LMSA 100. % Equity.

After the completion of this investment, Ganfeng Lithium will obtain the underwriting right of 50% of the first phase of the Goulamina project with an annual production capacity of about 455,000 tons of spodumene concentrate.

If the company directly provides financial assistance or assists LMSA to obtain debt funds provided by third-party banks or other financial institutions, it can obtain the underwriting right of the remaining 50% of the project’s first phase.

01 Everything is for lithium

The U.S. Geological Survey’s 2018 report shows that the global lithium resources exceed 53 million tons, of which Argentina has 9.8 million tons, Bolivia has 9 million tons, Chile has 8.4 million tons, China has 7 million tons, the United States has 6.8 million tons, and Australia Occupies 5 million tons.

At present, China’s proven lithium resources (metal equivalent) reserves are 5.4 million tons, of which salt lake resources account for about 70% of the country’s total reserves, and ore resources account for about 30%. Despite recent progress in the technology of extracting lithium from salt lakes, it still faces problems such as high cost, high purification difficulty, and low output.

Domestic salt lakes are prohibitive, and most lithium material manufacturers have turned their attention overseas, choosing to extract lithium from clay and extract lithium from ore.

This is not the first time that Ganfeng Lithium has “goed to sea for lithium”. Just in May 2021, Ganfeng Lithium completed the capital increase of Bacanora, an overseas company, with a transaction amount of not more than 190 million pounds. After the transaction is completed, Ganfeng’s 17.41% stake in Bacanora increased to 28.88%.

Bacanora was established in 2018 and is listed on the AIM section of the London Stock Exchange in the United Kingdom. Its main asset is the lithium clay Sonora project in Mexico. The Sonora project is a lithium extraction project from lithium clay located in Mexico. It is currently one of the largest lithium resource projects in the world. The total lithium resource of the project is approximately 8.8 million tons of lithium carbonate equivalent. It is estimated that the annualized lithium hydroxide production capacity after the first phase of the project is put into operation will be 20,000 tons.

Ganfeng Lithium’s road of seeking lithium goes far beyond that. The time goes back to November 20, 2012. Its subsidiary Ganfeng International and Canadian International Lithium Co., Ltd. signed the “Ireland Blackstair Lithium Mine Project Equity Agreement” to obtain Lithium International has no less than 51% equity in the Blackstair lithium mine project in Ireland.

The Irish Blackstair lithium mine project is located in the Irish Leinster lithium pegmatite ore belt 80 kilometers south of Dublin. This pegmatite belt extends more than 50 kilometers and currently has eight exploration licenses within 292 square kilometers. The project did small-scale exploration in the 1970s and found 19 lithium deposits, which are still under exploration.

In 2016, Ganfeng International began its journey to acquire RIM in Australia. In March 2019, Ganfeng International completed the acquisition and eventually held 50% of RIM. Li Liangbin served as a director of RIM.

The RIM owns 100% of the Mt Marion spodumene project. The data shows that the MtMarion lithium mine project contains 6.75 million tons of lithium oxide. The project was officially put into production in February 2017. Ganfeng International and MtMarion signed a long-term underwriting agreement. From 2016 to 2019, Ganfeng Lithium will refer to the market. Price, all spodumene concentrates produced by underwriting lithium ore projects with a lithium oxide content of more than 6%.

In March 2019, Ganfeng International invested 50 million Australian dollars to subscribe for 77.634 million Pilbara private placement shares. After the completion of the transaction, Ganfeng International held 8.37% of Pilbara’s equity, became Pilbara’s single largest shareholder, and obtained the right to underwrite the spodumene concentrate.

According to the agreement, Pilbara will provide Ganfeng with a maximum of 150,000 tons of the second-phase expanded lithium concentrate after the construction of the second-phase project is put into operation. If Ganfeng provides an advance payment of no less than US$20 million for the expansion of the Pilbara Phase III project, Pilbara will provide Ganfeng with a maximum of 50,000 tons of lithium equivalent after the construction of the Phase III project. Produce lithium concentrate.

In January 2017, Ganfeng International subscribed for 75 million new shares of Lithium Americas Corp. (“America Lithium”) with its own funds at a price of 0.85 Canadian dollars per share. The transaction amount was 49 million US dollars. This transaction After completion, Ganfeng International holds a 19.9% ​​stake in American Lithium and provides development loans not exceeding US$125 million in total.

The core assets of Lithium America are the Cauchari Salt Lake Project in Jujuy Province, Argentina and the Clay Lithium Extraction Project in Nevada, USA.

Looking back at history, it seems that Ganfeng’s global exaggeration has never stopped. Lithium resources are tight and I dare not slow down. Every acquisition costs a huge amount of money. Where does the money come from?

02 Part of the shareholder’s shares released from the pledge

In addition to a small portion of its own funds, the expansion of Ganfeng Lithium still relies on external funds. The founders have long obtained external funds through equity pledges, and the financial leverage is smooth.

On June 14, 2021, Ganfeng Lithium issued an announcement on the release of the pledge of shareholders’ shares. There were two shares that were released from the pledge, one of 2.25 million shares, and the pledge date was from 2018-11-9 to 2021-6- 10; The other is 1.74 million shares, and the pledge date is from 2019-1-14 to 2021-6-10. Both pledges are from the company’s founder Li Liangbin, and the pledge holder is Jiangxi State-owned Venture Capital Management Co., Ltd.

After the pledge was lifted, Li Liangbin and those acting in concert still had pledged shares outside. The accumulated pledged shares amounted to 61.56 million shares, accounting for 21.24% of his shares and 4.43% of the company’s total equity.

The release of the pledge of shares shows that Ganfeng Lithium is currently full of cash flow, and the debt problems in the past are gradually declining. It also indirectly shows that the original creditors recognized the value of the shares of Ganfeng Lithium, otherwise they would not risk taking over.

Stock pledge is a financing method often used by listed companies, especially in the case of poor capital links and poor business operations, some major shareholders will prefer this financing method. If the pledge is not enough, the pledged stocks will be Selling to a bank or trust means that shareholders indirectly reduce their holdings to realize cash.

However, for some listed companies that do not perform well, the pledge of stocks for financing is extremely dangerous, and it may cause fire. Generally, both parties of the stock pledge will agree that if the price of the stock drops and touches the pledge liquidation line, the pledge institution will force the sale of the pledge. The stock price further caused the stock price to collapse.

For some listed companies with stable operations, stock pledge to finance is a more efficient and low financing cost. At least one’s own stock can be pledged, which is also a symbol of strength.

In recent years, most of the money from Ganfeng Lithium’s stock pledge financing is still used in two aspects, one is the layout of production capacity, and the other is the layout of upstream lithium resources.

Because of the continuous staking and enclosure, Ganfeng Lithium can stand out from the competitors, and the reserves of lithium resources in domestic listed companies have won the crown, as shown in the following figure:

It is worth mentioning that although Ganfeng Lithium has an upstream and downstream relationship with the Ningde era, the reserves of lithium resources in the Ningde era are not as good as those of Ganfeng Lithium. The Ningde era has also been paving the way for “lithium” in recent years. Lithium is worried and avoids getting stuck by lithium resources in the future. Ningde also introduced sodium batteries.

Not only that, the two have not established a direct cooperative relationship in business, but Ganfeng Lithium has established a long-term cooperative relationship with another lithium battery giant LG Chem.

Whether Ganfeng Lithium did not enter the Ningde era’s supply chain camp, or whether the two have indirectly cooperated through cathode material manufacturers, which is unclear.

Economic recovery Is Germany’s upswing lagging behind?

Status: 11.06.2021 6:09 p.m.

The corona numbers are falling, economic life is normalizing and the economy is picking up again. Germany seems to be lagging behind its neighbors. Is it really like that? From Lothar Gries, tagesschau.de The British economy grew by 27.6 percent in April compared to the same month last year – a record as the National Statistics Office (ONS) announced. The strong growth figures reflect the economic recovery in the wake of the gradual opening of the economy, which crashed in spring 2020 after the start of the pandemic and the following protective measures. Projected over the year, the British central bank now expects an increase in gross domestic product (GDP) of 7.25 percent. That would be the highest growth rate since 1941. Other European countries such as France are also assuming a strong economic recovery of 5.5 to 5.7 percent for the current year. The Spanish government even expects an increase of 6.5 percent. In fact, in the opinion of most economists, the prospects for economic growth in the euro area have brightened significantly in view of the falling number of corona infections and the global economic recovery. According to the latest information, the European Central Bank (ECB) is therefore assuming an increase in GDP in the euro area of ​​4.6 percent this year.

Germany far behind in terms of growth

After a strong upward trend, things should go up in the USA, which is still the largest economy in the world. There, the Federal Reserve (Fed) is expecting an increase in economic output of 6.5 percent with a view to the advanced vaccination campaign and the prospect of an economic stimulus package. In China, Germany’s most important trading partner, the economy is likely to grow by as much as 8.5 percent this year. And Germany? Lies far behind in one of the farthest places. The Bundesbank currently expects GDP growth of 3.7 percent for 2021. Federal Minister of Economics Peter Altmaier is even more optimistic. “Thanks to extensive government aid of almost 300 billion euros, the German economy survived the worst of the coronavirus crisis. This year, growth of three and a half to four percent would be possible,” said the minister.

05/12/2021

So is the recovery of the domestic economy lagging behind that of its most important trading partners? The economists of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) give a differentiated answer. It is true that the economy in countries that quickly vaccinate their population against Covid-19 and that contain the infection rate through effective measures is recovering faster than elsewhere.

Already in the summer pre-crisis level

In South Korea and the United States, for example, per capita income is likely to have reached pre-pandemic levels by the end of this month. In large parts of Europe, however, this will only be the case after three years, in Mexico and South Africa it may take five years or more, the OECD fears. Seen in this way, Germany is in a much better position than when looking at the bare growth figures. The Bundesbank estimates that economic output could reach pre-crisis levels again this summer. The economists of the OECD expect that this will not be the case until the end of the year.

background 05/31/2021

Nevertheless, the recovery in Germany would still be faster than in Italy, France or Spain. In these countries, GDP per capita is unlikely to be above the level of the end of 2019 until the middle of next year, according to the forecast of the OECD. It looks particularly bleak for Spain, whose economy will not be above pre-crisis levels again until the summer of 2023. The experts predict that Great Britain will not return to pre-crisis levels until the middle of next year.

Fatal dependence on tourism

This shows the great dependence of these states on the service sector and especially on tourism. In Spain, for example, this industry slumped by 48.4 percent last year, in Italy by 35.1 percent, in Greece even by 55.4 percent, while in Germany it fell by almost 15 percent. Accordingly, GDP fell less sharply in Germany last year than in most of the neighboring countries. This is also due to the comparatively higher share of industry in the overall economy and its unchanged strong exports to China. “How strong the economic recovery will be in each country depends on the level of government support for businesses and vulnerable workers, the degree of dependence on certain industries such as tourism, and health and vaccination policies,” said a May report Study by the OECD. Despite the global economic recovery, global income is likely to be around three trillion dollars lower than before the pandemic by the end of 2022, the OECD estimates. This roughly corresponds to the performance of the French economy.

Sales increase The chemical industry is raging

As of: 06/09/2021 3:54 p.m.

The third largest German branch of industry has reached the pre-crisis level again. After growth in the first quarter, the chemical industry raised its forecast for the year. The pharmaceutical business in particular is doing better than expected. Despite the rise in raw material prices and delivery problems, the German chemical industry continued on its growth path in the first three months of the year. As announced by the German Chemical Industry Association (VCI), the sector increased its sales by 1.1 percent to 51.3 billion euros compared to the same period in the previous year. Production increased by 0.8 percent. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, sales growth was even 3.6 percent.

Again above pre-crisis levels

With the sustained upward trend, the third largest German industrial sector – after the car and machine builders – has already compensated for the corona dent. Production and sales are now back above pre-crisis levels. Above all, exports to EU countries increased. In addition, there was the increasing demand from Asia. The chemical industry was also able to grow in the German home market – thanks to higher prices.

“Hope for a good year in chemistry”

VCI President Christian Kullmann, who is also the head of the chemical company Evonik, was delighted with the development. “The first few months give hope for a good year in chemistry,” he said. “The demand for chemicals and pharmaceuticals is increasing.” The industry association is now even more optimistic about the year as a whole. For 2021, the VCI predicts sales growth of eight percent and an increase in production of 4.5 percent. So far, a plus of five percent in sales and an increase of three percent in production had been forecast.

Price increases and corona vaccines as drivers

Strong price increases for the chemical and pharmaceutical products manufactured should make a significant contribution to this. The association is anticipating 3.5 percent higher prices for the year as a whole. The chemical industry is also benefiting from the corona vaccine boom. There are numerous suppliers for the vaccines from BioNTech, Moderna & Co, including Evonik and Wacker Chemie. You act as a technology supplier or as a contract manufacturer.

Worry about delivery bottlenecks

Only supply bottlenecks for materials and intermediate products are dampening the good mood in the chemical industry. “They are now affecting the operational processes of every second company,” warned VCI President Kullmann. However, the situation should ease again in the course of the year. In March, the blockade of the Suez Canal interrupted the supply chain from Asia in the chemical industry. Around 16 percent of chemical imports and 18 percent of exports take this route.

Huge green electricity demand for climate neutrality

In addition, the more stringent climate protection targets are making the industry difficult. “The way there remains in the fog”, said recently Wolfgang Große Entrup, General Manager of the VCI. “For the new goal, our industry needs more electricity than Germany currently consumes overall – as green electricity.” If the industry does not get competitive prices for electricity from renewable energies, it will not manage the energy transition. In spring 2020, the association presented a study in which it considers climate neutrality by 2050 to be technically feasible. For this, however, enormous additional amounts of green electricity are required. By the mid-2030s, the chemical industry’s electricity needs will increase more than tenfold. In addition, the electricity price would have to drop to four cents per kilowatt hour, demanded the VCI. The industry currently pays between eight and ten cents per kilowatt hour.

BASF is pushing ahead

VCI President Kullmann considers the renewed tightening of climate protection targets and the more rapid increase in CO2 prices called for by the Greens in their election manifesto as “irresponsible”. At the annual chemistry conference of the “Handelsblatt”, he warned that those who shackle the industry put the ax to their transformation. Good politics are based on incentives and not on bans. BASF is one of the first chemical companies to commit to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to zero on a fixed date. The people of Ludwigshafen want to become climate neutral by 2050. Among other things, one should help huge wind farm in the North Sea that BASF is planning together with RWE . The plant with a capacity of two gigawatts is to supply the Ludwigshafen chemical site with green electricity from 2030.

The sugarcane beetle species mainly include the black scarab, the brown beetle and the large brown hairy beetle, which often arise and cause strong damage in sandy soil, riverbank soil, soil with light mechanical composition, or on specialized cultivation areas, growing sugarcane for many years, not rotating crops with other crops. NASU technicians check for insects entering the lamp trap. Photo: NASU. The life cycle of these beetles lasts from 365 to 720 days, going through 4 stages: egg, larva (worm), pupa and adult. Over the years, Nghe An Sugarcane Company Limited (NASU) has researched and applied integrated measures to effectively manage sugarcane beetles in the company’s raw sugarcane areas. This is the result that NASU has studied the management of sugarcane beetles in many countries such as China, Thailand, Indonesia… to apply on NASU’s sugarcane material area. Mr. Nguyen Hoang Son Phong, engineer of NASU said that sugarcane field was damaged by beetle larvae, yield decreased by 13-54%, sugar decreased from 11-57%. The original cane is more severely damaged by beetles than silk cane. Larvae (larvae) hatch from eggs, live in the soil for an average of 240 – 480 days (larvae of the brown hairy beetle are larger, longer than the beetle species) before transitioning to the pupa and adult stage. During the development cycle, larvae are active in the ground, age 1 and 2 in addition to eating cane roots, also eat organic matter, humus, decayed organic fertilizer or bagasse. Light traps are quite simple but effective in killing beetles applied in the cane material area of ​​NASU. Photo: NASU. From the end of the age of 2, the larvae only feed on the roots and underground stems of sugarcane. The 3-year-old larvae have a long sexual development time and cause the most damage to sugarcane, making sugarcane unable to grow, withering, drying and dying, leading to a decrease in sugarcane and sugar yield. The more damage the harvest stage, the more obvious. When the 3-year-old larvae are full, they begin to build cocoons out of soil and pupate to stay in the cocoon. If the weather conditions are favorable, after about 20 days, the pupae will turn into an adult, break the cocoon and crawl to the ground. Unfavorable weather conditions, especially low soil moisture and low temperature, will prolong the pupal development time. This extended period, called the hibernation period, can last up to 4 months. Effective management of beetles According to the research as well as the process applied effectively at NASU, control beetle larvae by plowing the soil thoroughly before planting sugarcane, collecting larvae and spreading the granular insecticide Patox 4GR, with the amount of 40 kg/ha in rows when planting sugarcane. Beetles trapped in nets. Photo: NASU. However, the method of spraying granular pesticides into the soil, in addition to killing larvae, will destroy beneficial microorganisms and insects in the soil, affecting the soil environment. The adults of these sugarcane beetles tend to be strong with light, fly out to mate from March to May, after showers with an amount of over 20mm. This is the best time to kill adults, limit egg laying, and reduce later harm caused by larvae. Mr. Hoang Quoc Tiem, a long-time sugarcane grower in Dua village, Nghia Yen commune (Nghia Dan, Nghe An) said that in the spring crop of 2021, in addition to killing larvae when growing sugarcane, NASU has implemented additional measures to destroy them. maturity such as using lamp traps, casting nets, and making traps in the field. The light trap is designed to be able to install light bulbs from the grid, battery lights or solar power systems. Traps are made by taking advantage of plastic containers, above are lights, below are placed water, add diesel oil to prevent the adults from moving out of the trap. In the middle of the light trap, install 2 corrugated iron sheets of size 40 cm x 60 cm, perpendicular to each other. As adults, beetles are attracted to light, flying into traps will collide with corrugated iron and fall into the water. After the rainy nights of early summer, each light trap catches 250-300 brown beetle adults, 40-50 black beetle adults, and 20-30 large brown-haired clipping adults and lots of adults of other sugarcane borers. The “product” obtained after a night of light traps includes many different species of beetles and borers… Photo: NASU. In addition, on the field, a fishing net is installed, the size of the net is 1cm x 1cm, and the adults move hundreds of fish of all kinds after every night it rains. In the sugarcane field, from 50 – 100m, dig pit traps, measuring 30 cm deep x 60 cm long x 60 cm wide, below the manure and by-products, which are the preferred food of adults, mixed with drugs. Low-odor insecticide is Goldra so that when adults eat it, it will be destroyed. According to the research results of scientists, the female beetle species can lay an average of 229-328 eggs, the lowest hatching rate from eggs to larvae is 70%. With the method of killing adults from light traps and netting in the field, it will limit a lot of harm caused by larvae to sugarcane … Mr. Phan Van Toan, Director of Agricultural Extension of Nghe An Sugar Co., Ltd. said that with the above management method, the rate of damage of beetles on both silk and sugarcane fields is reduced. This is the money for the company to expand the model on the raw material area in the coming years to stabilize the material area and improve production efficiency for farmers.

Characteristics of the tree group that produces fruit at the tip of the branch Lychee belongs to the group of year-round green leafy trees, multi-use trees, both for fruit, shade and landscape. The trees in this group often have the phenomenon of fruiting every year, which means the year of fruiting, the year of no fruit, the year of little fruit, the year of many fruits. Longan and litchi are all fruit-bearing trees, …. That is, the branch from the fall of the previous year is the mother branch bearing fruit next year. If the branch is healthy and the cake is dull next spring, flowers will bloom on the top of the branch. If winter has budded spring leaves do not flower. Therefore, in order for the tree to produce many flowers next spring, it is necessary to prepare many branches from the previous autumn, the branches are old and strong. That depends first of all on the post-harvest care. Longan and litchi trees grow fruit after a year, after harvesting, the branches and leaves fall off, which is the period when the tree is most physically exhausted. From the research results of agricultural experts, after harvesting, the roots are the part that loses the most force, followed by leaves and branches. In order to produce normal fruit next year, folk care experience along with cutting branches, pruning the canopy must be “compensated” or “compensated” in the post-harvest period. The selection of fertilizers and fertilization techniques are very important in order to restore the health of the tree, ensure the recovery, growth and development after 5-6 months of fruiting to continue to produce fruit next season. After harvest, longan and litchi trees need to be cared for and “compensated” so that the next crop can still be productive. Photo: TL. Van Dien fertilizer – The perfect choice for longan and lychee Among the current fertilizers, in addition to organic fertilizers, only Van Dien fused phosphate fertilizer and Van Dien NPK multi-element fertilizer products can meet the above demand for longan and litchi. Easily digestible nutrients in Van Dien fused phosphate fertilizers include: P2O5 15-19%, MgO 15-18%, SiO2 24-32%, CaO 28-34%, and many other micronutrients such as Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Bo, Mo…. Multi-factor fertilizer NPK Van Dien 5.10.3 has the content of nutrients such as: N=5%; P2O5=10%; K2O=3%; S=2%; MgO=9%; CaO=15%; SiO2=14%. In addition, there are trace elements such as B, Mn, Zn, Cu, Co… that other fertilizers do not have. Recently, the multi-factor fertilizer products NPK Van Dien 6:12:3 or multi-factor fertilizers NPK Van Dien 10:7:3 are very good fertilizers for fruit trees, especially in the post-harvest stage. . Using Van Dien fused phosphorus products and Van Dien NPK multi-factor fertilizers helps to provide a balanced, complete, multi-, medium-, and micro-nutrients for longan, litchi to restore roots and branches and leaves. Photo: Vandienfmp.vn. Instructions for fertilizing longan and litchi in the post-harvest period This year’s lychee fruit season is very good, so it is necessary to increase efforts to take care of litchi early, while the longan trees bear fruit unevenly, even many trees do not bear fruit, so the care of this year’s longan must be specific to each tree. Non-flowering longan and litchi trees: The longan and litchi trees this year do not flower if this year is not well taken care of, next year will certainly be poor in harvest. To prepare for the fruiting season in 2022, with the trees that do not bear fruit this year, around June and July, corresponding to the annual fruit collection time, still cutting, pruning and weeding as every year. At the same time, apply deep fertilizer with 3-4 kg of composted organic fertilizer and 3-5kg of Van Dien fused phosphate fertilizer, in order to provide phosphorus and secondary and micronutrients, part to prepare and accumulate nutrients. for the next crop, the nutritional compensation for the recent overgrowth of leaves is too strong. The litchi trees, longan trees are bearing fruit: Immediately after collecting the fruit, it is necessary to immediately start weeding for the trees: Prune toothpicks, pests, overhanging branches, branches under the canopy … at the same time, fertilize the trees, hoe around the canopy and then fertilize. The amount of fertilizer for each root is about 5-10kg of composted organic fertilizer, 5-7kg of Van Dien fused phosphate fertilizer and 3-5kg of Van Dien NPK multi-element fertilizer (5:10:3, 10:7:3. ..). Mix well with the soil, spread it in the canal and fill 2/3 of the trenches, grass cabinets, and garbage to keep the stumps warm. If the soil is too dry, it needs to be watered to keep the roots moist. Based on the time of harvest and the health of the tree, it is necessary to affect the summer or autumn buds. The early fruit trees in June, July, after weeding and fertilizing will give summer buds. Fertilizing for the autumn fortune: Locusts are formed on the leaf axils of summer buds (for early-harvesting plants) or grow from the leaf axils of fruit branches with late-autumn plants. This is the fruit branch of the next year’s longan and litchi crop, so it is necessary to pay special attention to adjusting fertilizer so that the harvest ends before November every year. Apply fertilizer to promote autumn buds in September and October after the summer buds have matured (into the leaves), apply 2-3kg of multi-element fertilizer NPK Van Dien 10:7:3 in combination with felling, pruning and removing branches. pass) in the canopy. Apply fertilizer to promote the collection of 2-3kg of multi-element fertilizer NPK Van Dien 10:7:3 in combination with felling and pruning. Photo: Vadfco. Note, only fertilize the autumn buds for trees under 15 years old, showing signs of lack of fertilizer, poor growth (showing yellow-green leaves) or late fruit trees in August, September. The growth pattern of the tree and the yield of the harvested fruit with more or less fertilizer application. If the weather is dry, it must be combined with watering to help the plants recover quickly and develop early autumn buds. When the buds are collected evenly, it is necessary to spray insecticides to ensure that the buds come out evenly and abundantly, the young buds grow well and are strong enough to make fruiting branches next year. Usually on an old fruit branch, there are many new shoots. When the young branches have enough leaves, it is advisable to trim away the weak, weak branches, leaving only the strong, fat huts to keep as the mother branch for the next crop. In the winter months, do not water, fertilize, create all conditions for the tree to “barren”, inhibit the formation and development of winter buds. By applying Van Dien fused phosphate fertilizer and Van Dien NPK multi-factor fertilizer right after fruit collection to create many vigorous autumn branches, combined with inhibiting winter buds, spring when the weather is warm and humid, longan trees , the fabric begins to spring up. Only apply fertilizer to catch flowers for longan and litchi when flower sprouts appear in the axillary leaves of the branches, the amount of application is about 3-5kg of multi-factor fertilizer NPK Van Dien 10:7:3 or 10:10:3, buried. Seal the manure, then water it to stimulate the buds and flowers. Fused phosphate fertilizers and specialized multi-factor NPK fertilizer products for Van Dien at the same time provide a full and balanced supply of essential nutrients for longan and litchi trees, helping them to grow strong and resistant to external conditions. Under unfavorable circumstances, especially during the winter break, litchi trees balance growth with development, creating bountiful fruit seasons.

Over the years, farmers northern provinces selected multi-element fertilizer (DYT) NPK Van Dien specialized in fertilizing rice crops with outstanding efficiency, the product lines of DYT NPK Van Dien fertilizer have 13 nutritional components, the ratio of nutrients depends on Depending on the type of fertilizer used for priming or for top dressing. According to local custom and also due to market demand, rice variety structure In the northern mountainous provinces, it is quite abundant: in addition to cold rice varieties such as hybrid rice, short-term pure rice KD18. Vnr20… group of semi-photosensitive rice varieties such as U17, U19, or tall sticky rice varieties; In many places, special photosensitive rice varieties are planted such as Bao Thai, yellow flower sticky rice… (Dinh Hoa – Thai Nguyen area). These are high quality rice varieties, but the percentage of flat seeds is high and it is easy to fall if lack of phosphorus and other medium and micro nutrients. From the agronomic characteristics of rice transplanting, as well as nutritional requirements, specialized NPK fertilizer Van Dien provide nutrients for rice plants, from transplanting to the time of flower differentiation (Nutritional growth stage). The fertilizer product lines DYT NPK Van Dien have all 13 nutritional ingredients Research on physiology and nutrition of rice shows that: The life of rice plants can be divided into 2 growth stages: vegetative and vegetative. The vegetative growth stage was counted from the sowing rice to the female standing rice. Crop season, this period usually lasts about 30-35 days with short-term cold varieties; (In particular, the photosensitive rice varieties must wait for a “short day”, which is close to the Bach Lo period, before the rice changes to the vegetative stage). At this stage, the roots develop in the shallow soil layer (about 3-5cm) and in the direction of spreading according to the cover of the rice leaves, when the set of rice leaves covers the row, the rice roots are also woven into the field. this period rice focus on tillering, spreading leaves, spreading sheath to make false stems, so the most nutritional needs are protein, potassium and less phosphorus and other medium and micronutrients. DYT NPK fertilizer specializing in fertilizing rice has many different formulations such as: multi-factor fertilizer NPK ( 16 :5 :17) has a content of N 16%, P2O5 5%. K2O 17% Mg 5%, SiO2 7%, CaO 8%, S 2%, etc. Currently, many places people use NPK . formula 13:3:10 +TE. These are fertilizers with high nutritional content of nitrogen, helping rice plants to lay strong, grow leaves, and grow stems. The nutrient content of potassium is quite high in the fertilizer to promote moderate tillering. In addition to the balance of NPK substances according to the needs of rice plants at tillering stage, there are also enough medium and micronutrients to help rice plants grow healthy, hard rhizomes, good resistance to pests and unfavorable environment. The stage of vegetative growth was calculated from the time of differentiation of the stem to the maturity of the rice. The long-term rice varieties have the time to stand female, while the short-term rice varieties usually do not show the time when the rice is female, but the rice plants may still have tillering but have differentiated. The time of transition to the vegetative stage is counted from when the rice leaf set is more upright, the leaves are “equal to the head” or when the rice begins to harden and round the base. From here, a second layer of roots develops into the soil layers below; When the rice plant blooms, it is the time when the trunk reaches its greatest height, the roots also go down to the plow layer and reach the greatest “depth”. Providing enough nutrients at this stage helps the process of making poles, favorable flowering, good and durable leaves and large flowers, many seeds. In addition to the micronutrients, rice plants need a lot of phosphorus and NK balance to differentiate flower sprouts, especially high silicon content to help harden the root, stem, and stand the leaves to increase resistance to pests and sugar accumulation. flour. NPK fertilizer specialized in fertilizing rice has many different formulas such as: NPK NPK 6:12:3 or NPK 5:12:3 , 10:10:5, 10:7:3 or multi factor rice fertilizer 1 specializing in fertilizing rice with sufficient and balanced nutrients NPK and micronutrients necessary for rice plants in the growing and flowering stage. Multi-element fertilizer (DYT) NPK Van Dien specializes in fertilizing rice crops to help achieve outstanding efficiency Cultivating seasonal rice in the northern provinces with fertilizer DYT NPK Van Dien: Manuring : Depending on the foot of the field, rice variety and the amount of organic fertilizer, balance the amount of fertilizer in the crop; average about 15-20 kg / sao. High-legged fields, less rice transplanted, less fertilizer, low-lying fields, more acidic, more rice transplanted, more fertilized, especially Bao Thai rice fields, tall sticky rice trees.. need to give priority to lining fertilizer, can fertilize 20-25kg/pole. In order for the fertilizer to be mixed evenly and sent to the soil layers below, meeting the nutritional needs of the rice growing and flowering stage; manure should be spread evenly on the field before harrowing for transplanting or before the last harrowing turn; If you are worried about dehydration or loss of manure, you can spread manure right after the harrowing is completed, when the water is still cloudy and the mud is still loose. Do not apply fertilizer after the water is clear, the mud has settled. Because when the sludge is settled, the nutrients have been attached to the soil grain and sink, in the water at this time only the substances that cause acid and alum remain, which are toxic to the rice roots. Therefore, to settle the sludge, in the water for 1-2 days, remove the clear water and then sow. Dressing: .Based on the bottom of the field, the amount of NPK multi-factor fertilizer applied as a primer and the growth situation of each rice variety that fertilizes seasonal rice as follows: – Thickly transplanted rice fields, large transplanted fields, low-lying fields… Fertilize about 8-12 kg / pole. – The fields are fertile, high, or dehydrated. High yielding rice varieties need to be fertilized about 12-15kg/sao. -The swampy fields, Bao Thai rice fields, tall sticky rice, or other easy-to-fall rice varieties… reduce the amount of fertilizer, (you can even remove fertilizer) and should only fertilize when transplanting. 7-10 days. – Particularly, the foot of the field is high and rapid, the rice variety is hard-bodied, the fertilizer is applied twice: 60-70% of the fertilizer is applied when the rice is ready to burn, and the rest of the fertilizer is applied. To reduce fertilizer loss due to evaporation, leaching or leaching, etc., fertilizer should not be applied when it is hot and when the field is full of water. Fertilizer should be applied when it is cool and the field is dry.

High quality 2-line hybrid rice variety LP1603. The late Professor Vien Long Binh is the founder of Vien Long Binh High-Tech Agriculture Joint Stock Company (Yuan LongPing High Tech). In the North Central region last winter-spring crop, both rice varieties were highly appreciated by farmers for their outstanding yield (9 tons/ha on a large scale), good quality of rice. Especially, the anti-falling ability of LP1601 has helped farmers to preserve their productivity against continuous storms right before the time of harvest. Also with the advantage of high yield, delicious rice, and resistance to blast, farmers in the northern mountainous provinces brought bags of LP1601 seeds planted in the previous crop to the store to buy seeds for this year’s crop. Agronomic characteristics of two new hybrid rice varieties: Two-line hybrid rice variety LP1601 LP1601 has good quality rice, amylose content 12.21%. Delicious, soft, flavorful rice.

Users are increasingly preferring digital banking and payment applications… Based on data from 2,000 top apps and datasets from Fintech, Game and E-Commerce applications, Adjust, a global app marketing analytics platform, has just released its annual report on app trends. mobile apps in 2021. In the context of complicated epidemic developments worldwide, the rate of users downloading and opening applications increased sharply compared to previous years and was higher than expected. The report highlights that mobile apps will continue to grow strongly in 2021. Installs are up 50% across all industries in 2020 and up 31% in the first quarter of 2021. Meanwhile, number Visits increased by 30% in 2020 and now have increased by 4.5%. USERS FAVOR TO FINTECH APP Analytics reports from trends in installs and sessions to time spent on apps and app re-installs… The numbers recorded in the past year show that fintech continues to “encroach” into the mobile segment. Many traditional banks have cooperated with fintechs and neobanks (new-style digital banks, no transaction offices, no branches, all operations take place in cyberspace) are increasingly widely accepted. cobble. The banking app recorded $3.6 billion in revenue. By mid-2020, digital banking accounted for 25% of all banking apps downloaded, up from just 1% in 2017. The data shows that each user on average installs about 2.5 financial apps. The level of global payments last year reached 1.390 billion USD and is expected to increase to 1.680 billion USD this year. The adoption rate of mobile payments has increased sharply globally, with the highest rate in China with more than 81%, followed by India (37.6%), Japan (25.3%) and Italy (21.1%)… From the fintech growth numbers, users are increasingly preferring payment applications and digital banking. Taken as a whole, fintech has the strongest increase in installs of all industries, growing 51% in 2020 compared to the previous year. In the first months of 2021 alone, the number of installs increased by 12% compared to the average of 2020. The number of sessions of fintech applications also skyrocketed in 2020, with 85% year-over-year. The number of sessions increased steadily throughout 2020, with the strongest increase in early October (22% higher than average) and late November (24% higher than average). The data also recorded a peak in mid-July, when 15% higher than the annual average. In 2021, up to the present time, the number of fintech application sessions is increasing by 35%. These growth numbers show that users are increasingly preferring payment applications and digital banking. SPEND A LOT OF TIME GAME AND UP ONLINE SHOPPING Along with fintech, the complicated development of the Covid-19 epidemic has partly reflected in the growth figures of the e-commerce and gaming industries. Games hit new milestones in 2020, especially in the hypercasual (lightweight, instant play and unlimited replay) segment, with installs up 43% versus 26% for games. other games (non-hypercasual games). The number of sessions for hypercasual games increased by 36%, while the number of sessions for non-hypercasual games increased by 27% in 2020. The mobile game market is valued at $165 billion by 2020. Asia remains a large market, accounting for $41 billion of the total market value. The number of mobile game players increased by 46% during the year, from 1.2 billion to 1.75 billion. Statistics show that mobile games are the main source of 51% of revenue and hypercasual games are predicted to reach $ 2.5 billion by 2021. The overall market is forecasted to reach nearly $220 billion by 2023, of which revenue from Google Play accounts for 19.6%, continuing to be higher than the App Store (13.2%). Although the number of installs of e-commerce applications increased slightly, only 6%, the number of sessions increased by 44%. This clearly reflects the fact that users interact and shop high with e-commerce applications. Last year was also considered a successful year for e-commerce with the number of transactions on the application increasing by 58%, in which the strongest increase was at the beginning of the year when the epidemic broke out. The survey showed that the number of goods purchased online has increased by 24%, while the quantity in stores has decreased by 7%. Research predicts that by the end of 2021, 17% of global transactions will be done online. The number of installs and sessions in early 2021 is also positive, up 11% and 14% respectively compared to the average of 2020. The number of visits increased the most in late February and early. March 2021, an increase of 23% over the same period last year and 76% compared to 2019. With the above information and analysis data from gaming, e-commerce and fintech applications, experts say that developers and marketers can better understand the audience and the reality of the economy. based on the app (app economy) to have a suitable investment, development and market domination strategy. Based on information about users’ in-app behavior, when and why they return to the app, marketers can create a comprehensive strategy that incorporates a personalized campaign and communication activities, thereby building brand trust… Users are increasingly preferring apps and this is the time to attract new users, experts emphasized. Mr. Paul H. Müller, co-founder and CEO at Adjust, said that for marketers, the potential to reach new users is unprecedentedly high, but competitive pressure is also “hottest” than ever, so it is necessary Boost your marketing strategy through automation and understand user in-app behavior.

In 2020, smartphone vendors sold about 1.38 billion smartphones worldwide. And the number will continue to increase in 2021 with a predicted number of over 1.53 million units. 10 countries with the most smartphone users (Source: Statista) Survey data by market research firm Statista shows that, as of May 2021, China is still the leading country in terms of smartphone users with nearly 912 million people. Although the number is less than half, but India also ranks second after China with over 439 million units. These two countries will continue to top the rankings by large populations and are considered as markets with strong growth potential given the relatively low smartphone adoption rates, Statista commented. Among Southeast Asian countries, Indonesia and Vietnam are the two markets with the highest number of users. The data shows that Indonesia has up to 160.2 million smartphone users and ranks 4th in the rankings. Vietnam has 61.3 million users, in the top 10 countries with the largest number of smartphone users in the world. The Philippines and Thailand have lower user rates, with 41.3 and 37.8 million users, respectively. The smartphone penetration rate can be used as an indicator to measure how advanced a country’s economy is. The number of smartphone users and smartphone penetration rate are also considered as one of the bases for the development of the digital economy. In 2020, the smartphone penetration rate in Vietnam ranked 9th with an index of 63.1%, higher than Indonesia with a penetration rate of 58.6% and the Philippines at 37.7%. Vietnam is also considered as a potential and high-growth digital economy market in Southeast Asia. According to a report by Google, Temasek and Bain & Company, in 2020 Southeast Asia’s digital economy will see the growth of e-commerce, food delivery and online media amid the pandemic. Accordingly, digital payments will reach 620 billion USD in 2020 and are expected to reach 1.2 trillion USD in 2025. Online media also posted 22% growth, reaching $17 billion in 2020. This was driven by the explosive growth of video streaming service providers (video streaming), the growth rate 12 times in Vietnam and 18 times in Thailand. According to the assessment, Vietnam and Indonesia are two countries that have recorded double-digit growth for the digital economy. In which, Vietnam’s digital economy has a total value of about 14 billion USD and is expected to reach 52 billion by 2025, with an average growth rate of 29% from now until then. In the context of the pandemic, the Internet economy in Vietnam recorded growth in transportation, food, e-commerce and fintech.

Hidden in the dark, the terror of the dark, is a herd of thousands of mice. Wander around the wheat cellar at the Fragar family farm, a seven-hour drive from Sydney. The drought is over, and the Fragar family’s first good harvest in years is being ravaged by rats. But the Fragars weren’t the only victims. Countless farms along Australia’s eastern grain belt are facing a rat epidemic described as the worst in public memory, according to New York Times . Rats in the grain warehouse at the Fragar family farm. Photo: New York Times. The rat epidemic came after years of bountiful crops màng On average, every 10 years, Australia faces a rat epidemic. This year, the rats appeared after a year of favorable rain and wind in 2020. The crops were bountiful, the farmers’ food stores were full, becoming an ideal food source for the rats to multiply. This year’s rat epidemic is also partly caused by the change in people’s farming methods. In the past, farmers used to burn the stubble after each crop, before sowing began. But over the past 15 years, Australian farmers have started sowing seeds directly on the trunks of old food crops, to protect the environment. It was this change that created an additional food supply as well as an ideal nesting place for the rats. Both natural and man-made factors, combined with the rapid reproductive cycle – a single mother can give birth to 6-10 pups in 3 weeks, have caused the rat population to explode into the tens of thousands. million children. Meanwhile, the Australian government has been criticized for its slow response. Recently, after a long period of rat epidemic raging, the New South Wales state government lifted the ban on the use of bromadiolone poison, which is considered a “napal bomb” for rats. Rats on a grain tarpaulin at a farm in Tottenham. Photo: AP. Tottenham is a small town in the midwest region of the state of New South Wales. Residents here said they have never seen a rat epidemic as long as it is now in the past. Winter is now slowly coming to the southern hemisphere, including Australia. Cold weather slows down the growth of mice. Robert Brodin, the owner of a shop in Tottenham, said the number of rats he catches each morning is now 15-20, down by nearly half compared to the previous time. However, Mr. Brodin expressed skepticism about the possibility that the rat epidemic would end just through winter. “They used to say, once they (rats) start eating each other, the rat epidemic will pass. But they have been eating each other since December 2020 and nothing has changed,” Mr. Brodin said. Steve Henry, an expert on rat diseases in Australia, admits it is difficult to predict when the current rat epidemic will pass. Mr. Henry said the rat epidemic can only end when it has peaked. “The epidemic will end when there are too many rats in the ecosystem, all of them interacting with each other, causing the disease to spread quickly. At the same time, the rats run out of food, they will be both sick and hungry, that is when they will attack each other and eat the young,” expert Henry predicted. If the rat population survives the winter in large numbers, the size of the rat population will explode again in the spring, then the situation could be worse. Until the rat epidemic is over, it will continue to be a psychological burden for people living in the areas directly affected. Life turned upside down “I feel like I’m watching the rats gnaw away at the family’s future,” said Kathy Fragar. During the first half of 2021, the rat epidemic has spread across southern Queesland, New South Wales and northern Victoria, the three wealthiest eastern states in Australia. “The rat epidemic is the flip side of a rare lucky year out of the worst drought in a century.” New York Times comment. Not only attacking crops, rats even attack people in the house. They get into the air conditioning system, destroy household appliances, eat poultry. Communication systems in some areas of Australia were disrupted when rats bitten telecommunications cables. Rats biting power lines also short-circuited and set a house on fire in New South Wales. Mr. Terry Klante emptied the rat out of the trap. Photo: New York Times. The rat epidemic makes people do things every day that no one is interested in. At the stores, employees set traps every night, and in the morning drown the rats they catch. In residential areas, “cremation yards” sprang up, where people bring the bodies of rats they find or kill for incineration. Hospitals also struggle with hygiene requirements against the invasion of rats. Jeff Fragar, the family’s ranch owner, said the loss of wheat storage was noticeable due to rat infestation. Mr. Fragar hopes to be able to sell 500 tonnes of the 700 tonnes of wheat already harvested on the farm. Even with such an optimistic figure, the family still lost $30,000. Many farmers find themselves in a situation where their goods are returned because rats are found in their lots. Mr. Fragar said the family’s biggest concern right now is the risk of not being able to continue growing the next crop. The Fragar family farm is in its infancy. The swarm of rats will eat whatever seed man sows in the ground. But if we continue to wait, the ideal time for sowing will pass, the farm is at risk of crop failure, or even no crop to harvest. The NSW Farmers lobby group warned New South Wales could lose billions of dollars as the rat epidemic affects the upcoming wheat, barley and canola crops. “We haven’t been able to plant anything for three years now because of the drought. We’ve only had half a year of good weather, and then the rats have ruined everything. If the weather doesn’t continue to be favorable, I can saying that our luck has run out. The bank will no longer help us,” said Mr. Fragar. Can only wait Jo Randall lives more than 100 kilometers south of the Fragars’ farm. The woman said she cried when she discovered that the rats had entered the house and destroyed the furniture. The Randalls consider themselves lucky because they were able to protect the farm from rats, by actively trapping and burning the farmland. But the Randalls live in an old house, with many cracks, easily infested by rats. Even when it was cold in the morning, Mrs. Randall often had to open the window to release the stench from the rats. A domestic dog chases mice under a grain-covered canvas on the farm of George Greig’s family. Photo: New York Times. In the house, there were traces of rats everywhere. Mrs. Randall’s phone case was crushed at the edge. The sound system of the family is damaged by biting the wire. Rats leave teeth marks on many other household objects. For Mrs. Randall, the ultimate limit was the rats getting into the bed. This finally happened, when the woman found rat droppings on the bed sheet. “Ultimately we have to accept the fact that we’re not going to win this war, we’re not going to get rid of the rats. The best we can do is wait for the rat epidemic to pass,” Ms. Randall said. .

5G smartphones expected to grow by 130% this year năm The pandemic has changed everything, and the needs of users in the smartphone market have also changed. The strong growth of 5G in countries around the globe also leads to a slowdown in demand for 4G devices, and 5G devices will record strong growth and gain a lot of user interest. The smartphone market has returned to growth from last year and continued to grow in the first half of this year, said Ryan Reith, IDC’s vice president of global mobile device tracking. In addition, the price of 5G devices continues to decrease as 5G Android devices will drop 12% year-on-year in 2021, which is a great pressure for Apple devices as its prices are still higher than other devices. others. IDC also expects growth through 2025, with a 5-year compound growth rate of 3.7%. The smartphone market will not be affected by the lack of semiconductors such as automobiles, computers and consumer technology categories. In addition to 5G Smartphones, IDC also reports on the PC market this year. Desktop, laptop and workstation shipments are expected to increase this year despite ongoing semiconductor shortages. IDC’s new forecast in the Worldwide Quarterly Personal Computing Device Tracker says PC shipments are expected to grow 18.1% to 357 million units this year.

Father and son Tran Minh Tung together take care of the vineyard. Photo:N.Son It is said that in Tan Hanh Ward there is a Ha Den vineyard planted in a safe way, many curious Bien Hoa people have come to Mr. Tung’s vineyard both to satisfy their curiosity and to save money. images with clusters of grapes laden with fruit. * Work and learn at the same time Introduced by friends, Ha Den grape is a grape variety with outstanding advantages compared to other grape varieties being grown in Vietnam such as: healthy growth, fast to harvest, sweet fruit, mild aroma and especially no taste. There were seeds, so Mr. Tran Minh Tung began to learn about the characteristics and techniques of growing this grape variety. In 2019, seeing that his son had a passion for farming, the family had land available, so Mr. Tung boldly invested in a drip irrigation system, materials for making trellis, tarpaulins, heat sinks and ordered 200 plants. Ha Den grape variety from Bac Giang University of Agriculture and Forestry for trial planting. Mr. Tran Minh Tung shared that in the coming time, he will continue to expand the area of ​​​​Ha Den grapes. In addition to selling grapes, he will develop the vineyard into a tourist attraction and experience. Mr. Tung said that when he brought the grapes to plant, everyone around him told him to take risks because grapes are often grown in the South Central coastal provinces, in Bien Hoa City, only a few families have grown as ornamentals. Planting for shade, few people grow grapes on a large scale (about 700-800m2) like him. When buying materials and equipment to build a truss, receiving grape varieties for planting, he realized that he had taken a risk when he spent 120 million VND to do something without knowing success or failure. Encouraged by his family, especially his son, and expressed his determination to successfully grow the Ha Den grape variety with his father, Mr. Tung felt empowered. However, passion and determination is one thing, the reality of growing and taking care of grapes is another. In addition to instructions from Bac Giang University of Agriculture and Forestry, in order to take care of the vineyard, he had to find books to read, go online to find articles about Ha Den grapes for reference, and even fly from South to North, find gardeners to learn from experience. The vineyard is located next to the house, so the first time he planted it, he was in the vineyard almost every day to monitor the growth of the grapes, as long as the grapes showed signs of abnormality, he would contact a number of gardeners to ask and handle. right. Thanks to that, after only 2 years of growing grapes, Mr. Tung has mastered all techniques of growing and taking care of grapes, handling problems related to Ha Den vine. Knowing the vineyard, many people in Bien Hoa City came to visit and take pictures at the vineyard. Photo: Facebook Nguyen Thuy MC According to Mr. Tung’s share, in addition to buying healthy seedlings, a prerequisite for growing Ha Den grapes is a roof. The roof is made of transparent nylon that has the effect of covering heavy rain to prevent leaf breakage, fruit loss, and pest control. The fertilizing and watering is not the same as for ordinary plants, but must use a drip irrigation system and an automatic fertilizing system on the grapevine, absolutely do not water the leaves. In the period of flowering and fruiting, the care is the most difficult because it is necessary to prune flowers, prune fruit, and cover fruit. The technique of pruning grapes needs to be very skillful so as not to scratch the fruit and cause it to crack when it grows. In the near-harvest stage, watering must be stopped to increase the sweetness of the grapes. * Add a “check-in” place for Bien Hoa people Ha Den Vineyard has only been nearly 2 years old so far, starting to generate income. Mr. Tung said that from the 2nd year onwards until the 8th year is the time when the grapes are at their strongest, so the yield will be higher, about 5kg/plant/crop (2 crops per year). Because this is the first harvest, the family wants to create conditions for customers to try Ha Den grapes, so the family only sells it for 120,000 VND/kg (while in the market, the price ranges from 150 to 170 thousand VND/kg). . Ha Den Vineyard not only brings income to Mr. Tung’s family but also becomes a destination to visit and take pictures of Bien Hoa people. Ms. Trieu Hoa Ngoc Lan, Secretary of Doan P. Tan Hanh said, Bien Hoa city has no fruit garden that can serve the needs of visiting, taking pictures and experiencing, so the grape growing model is quite new. She contributed to introduce the vineyard to friends, colleagues, and youth union members. Therefore, the first grape crop last year, although there were not many fruits, attracted many visitors to visit and take pictures. Having a hobby of traveling experiences, Ms. Nguyen Ngoc Thao An (living in Quang Vinh Ward, Bien Hoa City) has traveled to experience many gardeners inside and outside the province. According to Ms. Thao An, in Da Lat she had been to the garden of cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, strawberries…; Coming to Ninh Thuan, she visited the vineyard and dragon fruit. In the province, she visited Tan Trieu pomelo garden, rambutan garden in Long Khanh… Most recently, when friends introduced about Ha Den vineyard in Bien Hoa city, Thao An also came and “checked in” here. Ms. Thao An shared, Ha Den vineyard is the same size as other gardeners she has been to, but has the advantage of being located in the campus of Bien Hoa city. This is a favorable condition for those living in Bien Hoa city who are passionate about garden tourism like her to take advantage of visiting and taking pictures without spending much time traveling. A special feature, besides visiting Ha Den vineyard, visitors can manually cut their favorite bunch of grapes with scissors, taste grapes right at the garden, but only pay the amount equivalent to the purchase amount. grapes.

Daedong Ganoderma products have luxurious packaging. It is known that Daedong is a premium red ginseng brand sponsored by the Korean government, with extensive experience in the production of ginseng products, cordyceps and reishi mushrooms. Daedong’s products are popular in the domestic market and exported to dozens of countries, including Vietnam. Meanwhile, Imsil district in Jeollabuk-do province is a famous Korean reishi mushroom growing place. This place has special climatic and soil conditions suitable for this precious mushroom species, besides the people’s experience in mushroom cultivation is handed down as a long-standing tradition in the locality. In Imsil, the highland terrain is still relatively unspoiled due to the lack of industrial parks, cool climate, and natural clean water. With the participation of Daedong Corporation, many modern technologies are applied to support mushroom cultivation on the basis of preserving the maximum purity of nature. To shape products in the high-end segment, Daedong Group chooses oak tree trunks as the initial growth medium for Ganoderma lucidum. The trunks are carefully selected, are healthy, disease-free, uniform oak trees. The trees were disinfected for 48 hours with heat, then “rested” for about a week before being used as a place to inoculate reishi mushroom spores. From January to March, when the climate is most suitable, experienced Imsil farmers manually inoculate the oak tree with fungal spores. Then all are placed in a temperature and humidity controlled environment. The fungal sporulation phase takes place for 70 days, the oak stems are brought to the ground, the mushroom seedlings begin the development process. From seedlings to adults that are slightly larger than a hand, Daedong Ganoderma lucidum is located in a closed farm to ensure control of environmental indicators such as temperature and humidity. Daedong Ganoderma lucidum is grown on oak tree trunks placed under the ground in the famous Imsil mushroom growing area in Korea. When the fungal spores have developed into seedlings, the oak stems are buried in the ground. Experts of Daedong Group together with Imsil mushroom farmers continue to strictly control the growth environment of mushrooms until the mushrooms are mature and ready to be harvested. The whole process of mushroom development, many modern agricultural technologies are applied but always ensure environmental friendly factors, absolutely do not use pesticides or additional artificial nutrients. When Ganoderma matures, the size of the mushroom is slightly larger than the hand, uniform in shape due to being cared for according to the traditional secret of Imsil farmers. After being harvested in the field, Ganoderma lucidum will be dried and disinfected with Daedong’s own technology for long-term preservation, before being packaged into finished products without using any preservatives. Rest assured of origin, quality The new Daedong Ganoderma lucidum product is imported and distributed in Vietnam by the importer VHP – a reputable company for more than 10 years in the field of importing and distributing Korean health products and an exclusive partner. Daedong’s rights in the Vietnamese market. Ganoderma lucidum has long been famous as a benign herb for daily use, with the effect of enhancing resistance thanks to its high content of polysaccharides. Therefore, in recent years, Korean Ganoderma lucidum is interested by Vietnamese consumers to buy a lot for use and as gifts. However, the fact that Ganoderma lucidum on the market is mostly unorthodox products, leading to the situation of counterfeit goods and poor quality products being mixed. With the goal of serving long-term consumers with high quality products, Daedong Ganoderma lucidum is officially imported, certified and quality inspected by the National Institute of Food Safety and Hygiene. Before coming to Vietnam, Daedong Ganoderma lucidum was also certified for origin and quality standards by the Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA). “As a prestigious corporation that manufactures and trades in human health-related products in Korea, Daedong wishes to bring to Vietnamese consumers an authentic and fully tested reishi mushroom product. enough by Vietnamese and Korean authorities, helping consumers to choose with peace of mind.” , said Mr. Choi Sung Keun, Chairman of Daedong Group.

AMD recorded 8.9% growth in the first quarter of 2021, the highest in 15 years In 2020 and into the first quarter of 2021, AMD has focused on high-end desktop CPUs and EPYC chips for servers. The first quarter of the year recorded a record increase of 41% over the same period last year, which is the highest number for the CPU market in 25 years.

Then, Intel overtook AMD to let Intel regain its leadership in technology and hold it for 10 years. AMD has launched EPYC Milan and it is used for data centers and supercomputers. Consistent growth in the first quarter will propel AMD further in its goal of becoming a leader in the server CPU segment. The choice of EPYC chip has proven that AMD’s direction is appropriate in recent times. One question is what the growth of ARM architecture means for ARM and Intel in the near future, while Nvidia, Microsoft and others are gradually moving to produce ARM-based CPUs. As for Intel, most recently launched Rocket Lake processors and they compete directly with AMD Ryzen 5000. However, Intel’s chips are more commonly found in retail stores at very affordable prices. competition while AMD’s chips are still rare on store shelves. AMD still has a strong portfolio of next-gen EPYC CPUs such as the 4th Gen EPYC Genoa chips that are expected to be announced next year and will feature the all-new Zen 4 core architecture and a host of other features to addresses Intel Sapphire Rapids & Granite Rapids Xeon CPUs.

Despite increased lockdown and persistently high incidence rates, the federal government expects higher economic growth this year than before. In his spring projection presented in the morning, Federal Minister of Economics Peter Altmaier is now assuming an increase in gross domestic product (GDP) of 3.5 percent. In January he had estimated a mere 3.0 percent. An increase of 3.6 percent is expected for 2022. “We will have regained our old strengths by 2022 at the latest,” said Altmaier. “Our economy is strong, robust and ready for a new start.” Last year it fell by 4.9 percent because of the Corona crisis.

Export is the mainstay

Nevertheless, Germany lags behind the USA and most of its European neighbors. The US economy is likely to grow by 6.5 percent this year, while France, Italy and Spain each expect an increase of between five and six percent. The recovery in Germany is said to be supported primarily by exports. These are expected to grow by 9.2 percent in view of the rapid recovery in important sales markets such as the USA and China. As a result, the ministry expects higher investments. “Catch-up effects also play a role, as investments have been postponed because of the crisis,” it said. The construction boom is also likely to continue, “due to the low interest rate environment and high demand for housing”.

Export expectations at a ten-year high

The hopes for the export industry in particular are justified. German exporters are currently as optimistic as they were last in January 2011. The barometer for industry’s export expectations climbed by 0.8 to 24.6 points in April, according to a recent survey by the Munich Ifo Institute. “In many countries, industry is hardly affected by the pandemic,” said Ifo President Clemens Fuest. “The demand for German export goods will benefit significantly from this.” The upswing in the USA and China, the most important export customers, is providing a boost. According to the ifo data, the outlook has improved across almost all branches of industry. In the electrical industry, expectations are very optimistic. In mechanical engineering, too, the indicator rose to its highest value in more than a decade; the chemical industry is also on the upswing. “The only problem children are manufacturers of clothing and other vehicle construction,” it said. “You are expecting a decline in foreign sales.”

The domestic economy is only slowly gaining momentum

The gradual easing of the corona restrictions should also gradually give the domestic economy and private consumer spending a boost. After the difficult start to the year, the labor market is expected to gradually pick up. Nevertheless, there is likely to be a decrease in the number of people in employment by 60,000 in 2021. An increase in employment of 290,000 is to follow in 2022. Altmaier’s optimism about the economy is shared by Finance Minister Olaf Scholz. “The third corona wave is currently requiring all of us to make another great effort,” said the SPD candidate for chancellor. “Nevertheless, it is clear: things are slowly improving and the aid policy is working.” The council of experts for assessing macroeconomic developments, colloquially known as the “economic methods”, is significantly more pessimistic than the government. The committee had only revised its forecast downwards two weeks ago and is only expecting an increase in gross domestic product of 3.1 percent for 2021. In the autumn, the economic wise men had assumed 3.7 percent.

Colors have different meanings and effects, and there may be other energies you choose to invite into your home. Some people may benefit more from a color other than red. Color depends on individual status and temperament of the people living in the house. Do not put plants and flowers in the bedroom Different schools have contradictory views on this topic.

One of the steps to graft the branches to renovate citrus varieties. Photo: H.Tien. Steps taken before transplanting – On the garden of sour grapefruit varieties or low quality indigenous grapefruit varieties (real grapefruit): Choose plants that are 3-7 years old, grow well, be free of pests and diseases, especially have no stem borers, no germs. leaf rot yellow leaf disease, greening leaf yellowing (Greening) and Tristera’s disease. Then, cut down the entire canopy to the stem or branch with a diameter of ≥ 2cm, leaving only the ends for eye grafting in the position of the stem with the color of the cake, the same size as the top of the chopsticks. The number of branches left for grafting should be arranged evenly 0.5 m on the tree canopy as a mesh. Grafting season can be carried out all year round. It is best to graft in 2-3 months and 9-10 months. Note, stop watering and fertilizing on real plants 15-17 days before grafting; do not extract and graft trees into the rain. – On the mother Ruby grapefruit tree, choose a tree that grows balanced and free from pests and diseases as above. It is advisable to choose mother plants grown in a net house to prevent insects, to avoid completely dangerous diseases such as Greening and Tristera. Then, select branches under 1 year old, have rounded stems and are tilted from horizontal canopy upwards, then remove all leaves, leaf stalks attached and remove the tip at the position of the stem color of the cake. Continue to cut the branches to divide the seedling into branches containing 4-5 leaf axils, 7-10 cm long and have a flat color. Technique of grafting the branches (also called grafting, grafting wedge) – At the base of the seedling segment, use a specialized knife to cut 2 opposite beveled slices, 2-2.5 cm long to remove 2 stem parts at the base of the seedling and open a wedge-shaped composite end. At the predetermined graft head on the phylogenetic tree, split a line 2.5 cm deep at 1/3 of the tip diameter to open a grafting mouth, insert the wedge-shaped graft head into the grafted mouth that just opened above. Ruby grapefruit has been successfully grown in our country. Photo: TL. Then, stretching and twisting the nylon strip, twisting the rope, then wrap 5-6 rounds tightly around the graft. Finally, pull the grafted plastic strip flat, completely covering the seedlings and grafting spots, so that rain cannot penetrate the grafting marks and keep the seedlings from dehydrating. After about 10-15 days (depending on the season), the grafted eye will sprout. Must eradicate in time the sour grapefruit sprouts growing outside the grafted eye. Note choosing self-destructing polypropylene tape. – In addition to improving the seed by grafting wedge into the branches mentioned above, it is also possible to graft wedge into the cross section of the branches of much larger size, or graft windows, small wooden eyes along the trunks. tree, trunk. However, these grafting methods have certain limitations, compared to the method we introduced in the previous section, such as, small eye grafting with wood, only taking the seed eyes open, the tree will grow long. , time for exploiting business results is slower … Take care of real plants after grafting Spraying to draw amulets when the eyes are like sprouting is 0.5-1.0 cm long. Except for red spiders, soft aphids, leaf hoppers and plant diseases, during the period when eyes are like spreading branches and canopy. Fertilizer for 1 root: 0.2-0.3 kg NPK 13-13-13 + TE, fertilize periodically once a month. Foliar fertilizer sprayed evenly 7 days / times. Decomposed chicken manure 20-30 kg + 2-3 kg of microbiological organic fertilizer, fertilizing when the grafted eye has reached about 15 cm long branches. After 1-2 years grafting and improving, Ruby grapefruit trees have been exploited for business. From this stage on, the steps to take care and control pests and diseases are similar to other current pomelo seedlings. Ruby grapefruit is one of the elite citrus varieties of Thailand, which has been imported into our country. The variety has the advantages of strong growth and development, beautiful fruit shape, good resistance to pests and diseases, red fruit, thick and thick pods, fragrant sweetness, no seeds … Grapefruit is equivalent to or slightly better than that of our country’s green skin grapefruit. , depending on farming techniques and ecological conditions.

On April 9, Huawei announced the appointment of Rotating Chairman Xu Zhijun as Chairman of Huawei Cloud, and Huawei Consumer BG CEO Yu Chengdong was appointed as Huawei Cloud CEO.

A week ago, on April 2, Huawei announced the abolition of Cloud&AI (cloud and computing) BG. On March 30, Huawei just appointed 11 members including Zhang Pingan (formerly President of Consumer Business Cloud Services) as Cloud&AI BG managers; Zhang Pingan was appointed as Cloud BU President.

At this point, the structural adjustment of the cloud business has come to an end in the turmoil. The latest Xu Zhijun + Yu Chengdong, the luxurious lineup of two generations of Huawei’s Titans, also made the speculation that “Huawei Cloud will develop independently or be sold” spread like wildfire. Some insiders bluntly said that “this is the management configuration of a listed company.”

At the Huawei Analyst Conference on April 12, Xu Zhijun gave a formal response to related hot topics. He pointed out that the abolition of cloud and computing BG is to focus on developing cloud business, increase the proportion of software service revenue, and reduce dependence on hardware.

As we all know, Huawei started by making communication equipment, and hardware revenue has always been the main driver. In recent years, the revenue of consumer business, which is dominated by mobile phones, has supported about 50% of its revenue. However, the blow of the ban made Huawei have to think about how to go on leaving the chip?

The cloud business is regarded by Huawei as a key “chess piece” for increasing software revenue. Guowei, the chief product official of Huawei Cloud, told Sohu Technology that this year’s cloud business will definitely continue to grow in three digits. On the one hand, Huawei attaches great importance to the cloud business, and customer demand is also great. According to official disclosures, Huawei Cloud will grow by 168% in 2020.

It should be noted that even if the cloud and computing BG has been withdrawn, the current cloud and computing entire sales and channel system remains consistent. Shi Jilin, President of Huawei Cloud and Computing Global Marketing and Sales Service Department, told media including Sohu Technology, “The future sales and channel system will be optimized and adjusted accordingly as business development needs.”

“The shortcoming that needs to be made up most is the user experience”

Compared with mainstream cloud vendors, Huawei Cloud is almost 10 years behind. Amazon AWS cloud computing service was commercialized in 2006, Alibaba Cloud was formally established in 2009, Tencent Cloud was commercialized in 13 years, and Huawei only established Cloud BU in 17 years and officially entered the public cloud.

“It is necessary to make up for shortcomings but also to find ways to surpass other manufacturers.” Fang Guowei told Sohu Technology that the biggest challenge for Huawei’s cloud business is that the business started relatively late. .

He pointed out that it took Huawei almost four years to go through the product development process of other manufacturers for about ten years. “We started to do public cloud in 17 years and developed more than 200 products in almost four years. The number of products is about the same as that of other vendors.”

The speed of HUAWEI CLOUD’s development should not be underestimated. According to Canalys’s Q4 China Cloud Service Market Report last year, Alibaba Cloud occupies an absolute leading position with a 40% share, Huawei Cloud ranks second with a 17% market share, and Tencent ranks third with a 15% share.

Dai Mingzhe, an analyst at Head Leopard Research Institute, told Sohu Technology that because of its first-mover advantage, Alibaba Cloud has always maintained the first place in market share. However, HUAWEI CLOUD is catching up with its accumulation in the ICT field and the precipitation of the government and enterprise markets, and is constantly shortening the gap with the leading manufacturers in the market.

Of course, in the pursuit of rapid development, Huawei Cloud also needs to make up for its shortcomings. “We are a traditional hardware-advanced company. There are no examples in the world of transforming into a software-advanced company. Our difficulties are imaginable.” Ren Zhengfei realized that changing from selling products to selling cloud services requires building cloud services. The ability and support to provide customers with the operation, operation and maintenance capabilities of cloud services.

A business manager of a domestic leading cloud vendor told Sohu Technology that Huawei Cloud’s long-tail customers have relatively weak operating capabilities. “Customers who consume hundreds of thousands a month in the order of magnitude, either look at the brand or buy the cheap ones. Huawei Cloud is a bit embarrassed in the middle. And the stability and performance of its products still need to be polished.”

Fang Guowei also bluntly told Sohu Technology that the shortcoming that needs to be made up most is the user experience to make the product more usable. Previously, it was more to quickly complement the functions, but there is still a lack of user experience. This year, it will be promoted as a focus.

“For example, in terms of product design, interaction design will strive to be more user-friendly; in terms of documentation, I hope that customers will understand how to operate immediately after reading the documentation, because a very important point in the cloud is self service.”

Relieve the pain of lack of core

Undoubtedly, sending two generals, Xu Zhijun and Yu Chengdong, can see how much Huawei attaches importance to the cloud business. Of course, frequent architectural shocks can also reveal Huawei’s entanglement in exploring cloud services.

At the beginning of 2020, Cloud&AI (cloud and computing) rose to Huawei’s fourth largest BG, Hou Jinlong served as the president of Cloud and Computing BG, and Peng Zhongyang as the president of Enterprise BG.

In January of this year, Huawei internally issued a document stating that consumer business CEO Yu Chengdong will concurrently serve as the president of Cloud and Computing BG, and Hou Jinlong, former president of Cloud and Computing BG, intends to appoint the chairman of Digital Energy. At that time, a Huawei insider revealed to Sohu Technology that “the development progress of the cloud business is average, and the slogans are more powerful. I hope Mr. Yu’s leadership can change the current state.”

On April 2, Huawei adjusted its cloud business again, appointing Zhang Pingan as the president of Cloud BU, and at the same time withdrew the cloud and computing BG, and the original server and storage were classified as “network products and solutions.”

About a week later, Huawei Cloud ushered in new personnel appointments again. Rotating Chairman Xu Zhijun was appointed as Huawei Cloud Chairman, Yu Chengdong was appointed as Huawei Cloud CEO, and Cloud BU added two deputy directors, Peng Zhongyang and Tao Jingwen in charge of corporate business. And process IT.

From the establishment of Cloud and Computing BG to the dismantling of Cloud and Computing BG, Cloud BU has once again returned to an independent state. Xu Zhijun said to the relevant changes that Huawei Cloud has always been an end-to-end independent BU. At the beginning of the establishment of HUAWEI CLOUD, it was hoped to coordinate the operation of servers and storage with HUAWEI CLOUD, but the collaborative operation was found to consume the energy of the cloud team.

He pointed out that the adjustments made now are to hope that the cloud business will be more independent and focus on developing cloud. At the same time, in the long run, we hope to increase the proportion of software service revenue.

Under the influence of the US ban, Huawei is also actively thinking about future business development issues. How does the future go? Xu Zhijun put forward five key strategic measures in the future, and the first one is to optimize the industrial mix and enhance the resilience of the industry, especially the enhancement of software capabilities, the strengthening of investment in advanced technology and weak-related industries and the investment in the smart auto parts industry.

Dai Mingzhe told Sohu Technology that under the ban, the chip industry chain will have a certain impact. However, Huawei’s cloud business will focus on software development in the future, and it is expected that this impact will be mitigated to a certain extent.

Can the cloud business become the next “cash cow”?

The cloud market still has development potential. Gartner data shows that as of 2019, the global cloud computing market reached US$188.3 billion, and it is expected that the market size will reach US$350 billion in 2023. According to the “2020 Cloud Computing Development White Paper” issued by the Institute of Information and Communications Technology, China’s cloud computing market is expected to continue to grow rapidly in the next four years.

At the same time, the cloud business has brought huge returns to the top manufacturers. According to the 2020 earnings report, AWS cloud services contributed 11.7% of revenue and 59% of profits for Amazon. According to Microsoft’s financial report, since the Q3 quarter of fiscal year 2020, revenue from the smart cloud business has become Microsoft’s largest source of revenue for three consecutive quarters.

Of course, before the cloud business brought huge returns, it was also a terrible “golden beast”. Only after a huge investment can manufacturers “lie down and make money.” From the official commercial use of Amazon AWS in 2006 to 2015, it took nearly 10 years to turn around. year. Alibaba Cloud was founded in 2009, but it achieved breakeven for the first time in the fourth quarter of 2020, and it took about 11 years from a huge loss to a balance.

Gu Fan, general manager of cloud service product management for AWS Greater China, once said that it took nearly 10 years for AWS to achieve its first $10 billion in revenue from scratch, and it took 23 months for the second $10 billion increase. The third $10 billion increase took 13 months.

Huawei hopes to avoid excessive capital investment and emphasizes the construction of application ecology. Ren Zhengfei pointed out in his internal letter at the end of last year, “We can’t simply take the same path as Ali and Amazon. We don’t have that much money. They have endless amounts of money in the US stock market. How do we develop, we must find a way out. , Rather than simply imitating.”

In China, BAT Internet vendors, three major operators, Huawei Cloud, Kingsoft Cloud and other vendors gathered in the cloud computing track. A cloud computing-related practitioner told Sohu Technology that compared with other vendors, Huawei’s advantages lie in sales capabilities, key customer relationships, hardware coordination capabilities, and a top-to-bottom ecosystem.

Through the growth process of Amazon and Alibaba, we can see that cloud is not a “quick money” business. From its exposure to cloud computing in 2011, to its formal entry into the public cloud in 2017, and to the further improvement of its strategic position today, Huawei has not disclosed the revenue of its cloud business to the public.

It is foreseeable that Huawei Cloud still has a long way to go in the process of increasing software revenue and optimizing the industry mix.

Benefiting from multiple mergers and acquisitions business expansion and scale improvement, Country Garden’s performance continued to rise, but the company’s revenue growth rate fell for the first time in three years, and the growth rate of net profit attributable to the parent company declined for two consecutive years. In addition, subject to the integration of mergers and acquisitions, the company’s urban service business gross profit margin has also declined.

Since the company went public in 2018, Country Garden Services’ stock price has risen more than 8 times. As of April 22, the company’s total market value reached 231.38 billion Hong Kong dollars, surpassing the parent company Country Garden. As a “first listed property company”, behind the frequent acquisitions of Country Garden Services, it is not difficult to see that scale is still the core demand for the development of property companies at this stage, and the property management industry may enter the peak of mergers and acquisitions in the future.

Although mergers and acquisitions are an effective way to accelerate expansion, this kind of performance growth brought about by acquisitions cannot be replicated. Under the sustained rapid growth in recent years, for Country Garden’s services, which have formed a relatively high base in various indicators, how to maintain “quality” while pursuing “quantity” is a bigger problem.

It is worth noting that the major shareholder of Country Garden Services JPMorgan Chase & Co. and the company’s president Li Changjiang have successively reduced their holdings of Country Garden Services stocks since 2021, and the two have reduced their holdings by more than 10 million shares in total.

Scale expansion, performance growth, revenue and profit growth slowdown

During the reporting period, in addition to the “three supply and one industry” business, Country Garden’s service property contract management area reached 821 million square meters, an increase of 136 million square meters from the end of 2019; the property charge management area reached 377 million square meters, which was newer than the end of 2019 An increase of 101 million square meters. As of December 31, 2020, the company managed a total of 3277 properties, a year-on-year increase of 36.26%.

Benefited from the expansion of the scale of property management, the company’s performance continued to rise, but the growth rate has slowed down. The annual report shows that the company’s operating income in 2020 was 15.6 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 61.75%; the net profit attributable to the parent was 2.686 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 60.78%. Among them, the company’s revenue growth rate fell for the first time in three years, and the revenue growth rate fell by about 40% year-on-year; the net profit growth rate attributable to the parent fell by about 20% year-on-year, which has been declining for two consecutive years.

The proportion of revenue from basic property management services declines and focuses on businesses outside the concept of traditional real estate

From the perspective of changes in the revenue structure in the past three years, property management services are the main source of income for Country Garden services. In the past three years, the proportion of revenue from this business has exceeded 50%, but the proportion has been declining year by year, from 73.7% in 2018 to 55.17% in 2020.

Among them, income from properties developed by Country Garden Group accounted for approximately 72% of total property management service income, and income from properties developed by independent third-party developers accounted for 28% of total property management service income, an increase of 3.7% from the same period last year and compared with 2018 An increase of 16.6%. In the company’s total new contract area, brand expansion accounted for 53.3%, while the area from the Country Garden system accounted for 35.1%. The company’s dependence on the parent company’s residential incremental market has decreased.

In addition, Country Garden Services has developed many businesses beyond the traditional concept of real estate, including commercial asset operations, urban services, community group purchases, community media, house leasing, insurance brokerage, etc.

The annual report shows that the company’s urban service business has increased significantly. The company’s urban service business revenue increased from 68 million yuan in 2019 to 884 million yuan in 2020, with a revenue share of 5.67% (approximately 0.71% in the same period in 2019), an increase of 1192.5%, mainly due to business growth brought about by acquisitions To.

In 2020, the company’s community value-added service revenue will be 1.731 billion yuan, and the total revenue will account for 11.1%. The amount of revenue will increase by 100.10% year-on-year, becoming the company’s second largest revenue growth point. Among them, the company’s value-added service innovation business revenue increased by 268.6% year-on-year, and community media service revenue increased by 273.6% year-on-year.

It is worth noting that the company’s revenue from non-owner value-added services has declined. Revenue from this business dropped from 1.422 billion yuan in 2019 to 1.370 billion yuan in 2020, a year-on-year decline of about 3.7%. The company stated that it was mainly due to the change in the consulting service business model in this service.

Mergers and acquisitions “double-edged sword”: urban service gross margin declines due to accelerated expansion, adding more than 3 billion goodwill

In response to high-performance plans and high-growth demands, Country Garden Services has made multiple mergers and acquisitions in the past year, with the intention of increasing scale and expanding its business.

According to data, in September 2020, the company acquired 65% of the equity of City Zongheng (Shanghai) Culture Media Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “City Zongheng”) to increase its community media service business. In October of the same year, the company acquired 70% of the equity of Country Garden Manguo Environmental Technology Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Manguo”) and 60% of Fujian Dongfei Environmental Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Dongfei”), a leading company in the sanitation industry. Equity. In addition, the company also acquired Wenjin International Insurance Brokers Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Wenjin Insurance Brokers”) and several other property management companies.

Since 2021, Country Garden’s service has continued to increase its size on the material enterprise track. On April 13, Country Garden Services announced the acquisition of four commercial management subsidiaries of Country Garden Holdings for 20 million yuan. On April 19, the company spent over 4 billion yuan to complete the acquisition of 71.17% shares of Blu-ray Garbo Services.

It is worth noting that although mergers and acquisitions are an effective way to accelerate expansion, this kind of performance growth brought about by acquisitions cannot be replicated. In addition, subject to third-party acquisitions and acquisitions of the target asset quality, the future profitability of property companies will also be affected. Data shows that with the company’s overall gross profit margin growth, the company’s gross margins in community value-added services, “three supplies and one industry” business, and urban service segments all declined. Among them, due to the low gross profit margin of the Manchuria and Dongfei businesses acquired during the year, the gross profit margin of the company’s urban service segment decreased from 38.7% in 2019 to 32.5%.

In addition, due to multiple acquisitions of Country Garden Services in 2020, the company’s new intangible assets will reach 4.672 billion yuan, including 3.145 billion yuan in new goodwill. If the performance of the acquired target in the later period is not as good as expected, Country Garden Services will have a certain risk of goodwill impairment.

Increase in income tax rate affects profits, important shareholders successively reduce their holdings

In 2020, the income tax rate of Country Garden’s main subsidiary of Country Garden Services will be changed from the preferential tax rate of 15% in the same period of the previous year to 25%. Corporate income tax expenses rose from 358 million yuan in 2019 to 933 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of approximately 160.84%. If the 25% income tax rate continues in the future, the profitability index of Country Garden Services will also be under pressure as the scale grows.

In addition, WIND data shows that since the beginning of this year, all shareholders have reduced their holdings of 11.508 million shares of the company. Among them, President Li Changjiang reduced his holdings of 240,000 shares on April 1, with an average price of about 80 Hong Kong dollars per share; the third largest shareholder JPMorgan Chase & Co. successively reduced their holdings of 11.2608 million shares. In the past year, Li Changjiang has reduced his holdings of 2.12 million shares, and has cashed out approximately HK$87,277,400.

The actions of leading companies are the vane of industry development. From the annual report of Country Garden Services, it can be seen that the current mergers, acquisitions, outsourcing and multi-format simultaneous development are still the new trends of the current property management industry, and the industry may enter the era of great integration in the future.

Third, the rapid growth of new kinetic energy. In the first quarter, the high-tech manufacturing industry above designated size increased by 31.2% year-on-year, and the two-year average growth rate was 12.3%. The added value of the equipment manufacturing industry increased by 39.9% year-on-year, and the two-year average growth rate was 9.7%.

The online retail sales of physical goods in the first quarter increased by 25.8% year-on-year, and the two-year average increased by 15.4%, accounting for 21.9% of the total retail sales of consumer goods.

Energy consumption per unit of GDP continued to decline. According to preliminary calculations, energy consumption per unit of GDP in the first quarter fell by 3.1% year-on-year.

Fifth, market expectations are stable and improving.

Liu Aihua said that the economic recovery in the first quarter of this year continued, and positive factors were accumulating. At the same time, we must also see that the international epidemic is still spreading, the international environment is still complex and severe, the foundation for domestic economic recovery is not yet solid, and some service industries and small and micro enterprises are still facing more difficulties in their production and operation. “We still have to continue to follow the deployment of the Central Economic Work Conference and the government work report to further increase the relief of enterprises, maintain the continuity, stability and sustainability of macroeconomic policies, and promote economic stability and recovery.”

Second child + medical beauty concept blessing

This company has ten daily limit!

On the 16th, the blonde rabbi set its daily limit again. In just a dozen days, it was already the tenth daily limit, with a skyrocketing over 1160%.

Why is it so fierce? On the evening of April 14, the Central Bank issued a working paper “Awareness and Countermeasures for my country’s Demographic Transition”, which pointed out that my country is about to transition from stage III to stage IV of population transformation, and the main contradiction facing China has changed from population expansion to The demographic dividend is about to disappear and the aging and declining birth rate crisis is approaching. The countermeasures are: comprehensively liberalize and vigorously encourage childbirth, and effectively solve the difficulties women encounter in pregnancy, childbirth, nursery school, and school; attach importance to savings and investment; promote pension reform; promote education and technological progress, and establish basic social insurance System, control housing prices, attach importance to mothers and children’s education, attach importance to basic education, and attach importance to science and engineering education.

Gold Rabbi is engaged in the design, research and development, production and sales of mid-to-high-end maternal and child consumer products, which is tinged with the dual concept of “second child + medical beauty”.

On the evening of April 14, Gold Rabbi released the 2020 annual results bulletin. The total operating income was about 313 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 28.69%; the net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was about 32.29 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 30.71%; basic per share The revenue was RMB 0.09, a year-on-year decrease of 30.77%.

Xie Zhiheng holds a bachelor’s degree in physics, a master’s degree in biomedical engineering, and a doctorate in biophysics from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He has conducted artificial intelligence and medical applications for many years. He founded Miaozhi Technology in Hong Kong Cyberport, focusing on the research and development of intelligent surgical software and robots. With the development of business, Miaozhi Technology has also developed in Shenzhen and Dongguan Songshan Lake, and currently has teams in the three places.

Xie Zhiheng

“The Hong Kong team conducts algorithm research and cooperates with Hong Kong universities for industry-university research. The Shenzhen team focuses on software development. Dongguan Songshan Lake is mainly engaged in production and cooperation with suppliers.” Xie Zhiheng introduced.

At present, some products of Miaozhi Technology have been deployed in more than 60 hospitals, including Beijing 304 Hospital, Guangzhou Nanfang Hospital, etc., and have processed thousands of cases through the AI ​​system to provide doctors with quantified surgical parameters and guidance systems. The surgical robot under development has the leading force feedback and automatic puncture system at home and abroad, which can automatically complete the soft tissue puncture intervention with sub-millimeter precision.

Xie Zhiheng believes that the rapid development of the company has benefited from the relatively complete upstream and downstream industrial chain in the Greater Bay Area, and the rapid connection speed has provided important soil for the company’s development. For example, during the 2020 epidemic, Miaozhi Technology cooperated with Dongguan South China Innovation Research Institute to jointly develop the anti-epidemic guardian temperature measurement system software and hardware in only two weeks, which was put into use in Songshan Lake Middle School and several automobile factories in the United States. In addition, Miaozhi Technology is establishing a surgical robot production base in Songshan Lake, in which hardware parts are provided by major suppliers in Dongguan, which shortens the entire surgical robot development cycle through regional cooperation.

“From the industry where I work, I can feel that the regional synergy effect is real.” Xie Zhiheng took the research and development and production of medical devices as an example. “Hong Kong has a good technical theoretical foundation. Shenzhen is mainly responsible for software research and development. The manufacturing industry is relatively developed. It is difficult for a city to meet all the needs, but a region can.”

Xie Zhiheng said that it is inevitable to encounter various problems in the process of starting a business, but whether it is Shenzhen or Dongguan, the strong support of the local government in financial docking and other aspects made him decide to stick to it. “The local government has given many opportunities and I am very grateful.”

In recent years, Miaozhi Technology’s Songshan Lake has entered the “fast lane” of development, providing fertile soil for the development of innovation and entrepreneurship. In July 2020, Songshan Lake Science City and Guangming Science City jointly became the main body of the pioneering area of ​​the comprehensive national science center in the Greater Bay Area, becoming an important force representing the country to participate in global scientific and technological competition and cooperation, and the elements of innovation and entrepreneurship continue to accelerate. At present, there are more than 10,000 innovative and entrepreneurial enterprises in the park, attracting more than 3,600 overseas talents.

According to Ye Zhenhui, Director of the Songshan Lake Branch of the Dongguan Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, the Songshan Lake Hong Kong and Macau Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Base was officially inaugurated in May 2019. Create an international service platform for the transfer and transformation of achievements and effectively promote the transformation of new and old kinetic energy of local industries. “Hopefully, the platform carrier of the base can become the’bridgehead’ for Songshan Lake to connect with international resources.” He said.

By Ruth Kirchner, ARD studio Beijing China’s gross domestic product soared more than it has done in 30 years. As the national statistics office in Beijing announced, the economy grew by 18.3 percent in the first quarter compared to the same period last year. “We see a sustained and stable recovery in the first quarter,” said spokeswoman Liu Aihua. But she also warned of uncertainties in view of the global corona pandemic. The situation is not stable.

Economic stimulus programs are having an effect

The unusually strong growth in the first three months can be explained by the starting position a year ago. At the beginning of 2020, China came to an almost complete standstill due to the corona pandemic, and the economy collapsed. This is why the recovery is now being reflected all the more clearly in the growth figures. The government’s economic stimulus programs are also having an effect. China’s economic growth looks more modest when you compare the first quarter with the last quarter of 2020 – then the growth is 0.6 percent – and thus fell short of the expectations of many analysts. They used this number as evidence that China’s economic recovery is slowing down.

Products for the home office in demand

The spokeswoman for the statistics office also warned against expectations that are too high: the foundations for a recovery in the domestic market are not yet very solid, said Liu Aihua, and some service sectors and smaller companies are continuing to grow only very slowly. China’s export economy, on the other hand, is benefiting from the strong demand for products that are currently needed in the pandemic – including medical equipment or laptops and monitors for the home office.

A good sign for Germany

For the year as a whole, the Chinese leadership is targeting growth of more than six percent, the International Monetary Fund is even predicting more than eight percent. Germany’s export-oriented economy also benefits from this. German carmakers were recently able to post substantial profits in China.

The Hanoi People’s Committee has just decided to replace hundreds of red maple trees on the median strip of Nguyen Chi Thanh – Tran Duy Hung route. These red-leaf maple trees were tested by Hanoi from January 2018. Nguyen Chi Thanh Street has 119 trees and Tran Duy Hung has 143 trees. As noted by the reporter of To Quoc Electronic Newspaper, on the morning of April 6, many maple trees have withered and lost their life. The red-leaf maple trees have “turned” into dry firewood Only a few green leaves remain Reporter tried to peel the bark of a maple branch and found that the inside was still quite fresh, but the maple tree still refused to “grow leaves”. Originally expected to bring European colors to Hanoi, but, after 3 years, the maple trees were always in a state of withering and bare. Before that, on the evening of June 26, 2020, some maple trees were cut down because of the phenomenon of withering. According to statistics from the Hanoi Department of Construction, 45 trees have died, the remaining 217 trees grow poorly. The Hanoi Department of Construction said that the withered and undeveloped goods affected the street’s landscape. The trees that are still alive have poor growth and development. After a while, leaves wilted, branches and branches were dry and susceptible to pests and diseases, although Hanoi Greenery Park Co., Ltd. has repeatedly sprayed pesticides. To ensure the landscape, synchronize the system of green trees, to meet the aesthetic and urban beauty on the route, the Department of Construction proposes to the People’s Committee of Hanoi City 2 options. Option 1 is to plant to replace the maple tree with all small leaf almond trees, with a trunk diameter of 10-15cm and the height of 6-8m. Option 2 is to plant between a small leaf almond tree with a trunk diameter of 10-15cm, a height of 6-8m and an oil palm tree with a diameter of 40-60cm, a trunk height of about 2m. The planting of replacement trees will be carried out in April 2021 and completed before the holidays April 30 and May 1.

The book Living as a Tree brings together 60 lessons drawn from trees in the hope of giving the reader wisdom and inspiration for the endless source of happiness in life. The book is written by author Liz Marvin and illustrated by Annie Davidson. Photo: Wings Books. Have you ever been vicious in small worries? The ancestors of the American chestnut tree used to be like that. This plant began to grow in the tropics, where there are tiny spoilers named epiphytes that are always trying to stick to fissures in the trunk. After that, the American chestnut has created a smooth, lovely shell by itself, smashing every chance of the epiphytes taking advantage. Focus on developing a calm appearance, soon your individual epiphytes will fall off. Knowing that you are strong enough to cope with the events of your life is an important foundation for building confidence in everyone. The New Zealand kauri understands this well. They can live for a thousand years, whether alone or as part of a forest population. The kauri is independent of anyone. Luckily, too, for it took seven adults to fully embrace the great kauri pine tree trunk. Step out of your comfort zone and you will be amazed at what you have achieved. London acacia is not an indigenous variety – but a hybrid between Eastern and American acacia – but they have embraced a new environment and are perfectly adapted to urban life. The bark is easy to peel, making it easy for them to remove dust and other pollutants. The London legend also learns how to properly spread the roots, not destroy the infrastructure of the urban place. If we do not care about the surroundings, it is very difficult to thrive. Willows are not tolerant of living with an indiscriminate riverbank or filthy river water – they hold the soil up to the bank with their own roots and turn the pollutants in the water into a source of nitrate for the plants. Looking after yourself can start with simple things like new sheets, special lunches … Trees have shown us that we can exist anywhere if our roots are strong and strong. Juniper trees grow in arid lands like Utah (USA) and look as if they were growing from a rock. The juniper has a main root anchored to the rock and plunges 12 meters underground to seek water. Their roots are strong enough to penetrate rock crevices. The juniper also has shallow secondary roots around the base that can quickly absorb rainwater before they evaporate. We tend to focus on the negatives of aging and neglect the little perks of maturity. Plants are not like that. In fact, they are always trying to get old and enjoy it. Poplar is the fastest growing plant in North America; The sapling is very ambitious and competitive, reaching almost 183 cm in height in just one year. The speed slows down as they get older, but that doesn’t mean they stop. Poplar trees focus on growth, like middle-aged bodybuilders, making them the masters of carbon metabolism in the air. Trees are also bashed, bruised, or knocked over – and even if they can’t move, they know how to move forward. Instead of consuming energy to heal injured parts, or fight disease, plants isolate the area so that it doesn’t affect the rest of the health. European cranes are masters of the past – they don’t grieve the lost branches. In fact, the redistribution of the growth hormone auxin also makes the plant healthier and denser. And because of that, European cranes are the perfect fencing plant. Or create bonsai, if you like this art. Pride is a humorous thing – it makes you feel strong, but it can also make you feel pain. Sometimes we just need to be humble enough to weather a storm. Be like a mountain palm tree in Puerto Rico. In the tropics, storms are part of life, but are extremely dangerous with tall trees. So, like most palms, the Puerto Rican mountain palm does not hesitate to remove the leaves during strong winds. The leaves are certainly important, and they look good, but the Puerto Rican mountain palm needs to be as tight as possible to survive the storm. After a storm passes, they can always grow new leaves. Country music queen Dolly Parton once said: “Thunderstorms make trees take root more,” and it is true that trees can adapt to grow even in high winds. Difficulty is inevitable, but how you react depends on us. The trees all want to stretch, but tough species like hawthorn trees understand that it’s not always what we want when we live in open spaces. The prevailing wind blows strongly and breaks the stubble, so only the side that does not receive the wind can develop, causing the tree to lose balance. In order not to fall, the hawthorn tree has extended its stems and roots to the opposite side, creating a balance and not easily fell in thunderstorms. “The tree falls on its side,” says writer Dr. Dude. Seuss says so, so make sure you lean toward the right thing and the right person. Often trees like to grow straight; Plant cells contain saccharine structures that create a tendency to erect. But the tall and thin cypress trees are a little more creative: They like to grow on their sides. Wherever they grow, the male canopy grows tilted toward the equator, with a tilt depending on the distance of the tree to the equator. Scientists believe this inclination is to maximize the amount of sunlight that plants can absorb at different latitudes. So, like a male cypress, try to lean towards what is good for you. Anyone who has a chance to see the cherry blossoms will be overwhelmed by their beauty. In Japan, families and groups of friends often have picnics under the canopy of sakura trees, blooming in beautiful white blossoms for two short weeks they bloom. For Buddhists, this is a spiritual experience, reminding us that beautiful things, like life, will pass, so be grateful when they are happening and enjoy each moment.

The Hanoi People’s Committee has just decided to replace hundreds of red maple trees on the median strip of Nguyen Chi Thanh – Tran Duy Hung route. These plants were tested from January 2018. In which, there are 119 trees on Nguyen Chi Thanh Street and Tran Duy Hung Street with 143 trees. It is expected to bring the color of Europe in the heart of Hanoi, but after 3 years, the maple tree is always in a withered state. As noted by Zing on April 5, many trees showed signs of dry death. The plants that do better will produce half green, half yellow leaves, lacking vitality. According to statistics, 45 trees have died, the remaining 217 trees have poor growth. Many branches are withered, just a slight impact can also break. Talking with Zing, Mr. Le Huy Cuong, an expert of the Vietnam Association of Forestry Science and Technology, evaluated the characteristics of red-leaf maple trees that are not suitable for the tropical climate of Vietnam and especially in the metropolitan area. market like Hanoi. In temperate countries, in autumn, maple leaves turn red or orange and then fall off when winter comes. However, according to the report of the reporter in the last 3 seasons, this line is always in a state of not turning red and withered. According to Ms. Le Thi Tam, a resident at 91 Nguyen Chi Thanh Street, every few months, the workers remove some dead trees. “These trees only show a few green leaves and just disappear, so they lose their aesthetics and bring no shade,” she said. Previously, at a workshop on trees and lakes in early 2018, the Chairman of the Hanoi People’s Committee at that time Mr. Nguyen Duc Chung said that about a year after planting, the city could completely “tropicalize”. like maple trees and they still bear the same color as when grown in European climates. As an alternative, the Hanoi Department of Construction proposes to plant small-leaf almond trees, 10-15 cm in diameter, 6-8 m in height, or intercrop between small leaf balm and oil palm 40- 60 cm, about 2 m high. The Hanoi Department of Construction plans to plant new trees in April and complete before the holidays April 30 and May 1.

Indoor plants bring a lot of benefits, both providing oxygen, absorbing carbonic for cool fresh air, and bringing the element of water room that brings luck and health to the family. However, many people still wonder what tree to choose in the house to suit the house area. Below, architect Bui The Long CTA | Creative Architects will share the secrets of choosing indoor plants in the most complete and detailed way. Big crops Larger trees are large-sized perennials with shade and landscape effects. For these types of plants, it is necessary to note that the planting position such as the planting spot must have enough area, light for the growth of the pot to not affect the foundation, house structure. Therefore, the open-floor space, the courtyard or front and back yard must be large enough. The minimum area for planting pots is about 2 mx 2 m to ensure good growth and natural light to plant these big trees. Large trees need to be planted in a well-lit area and have an area to grow plants without affecting the foundation. Usually, architects design to incorporate large plants under the indoor floor space. Currently, the popular varieties are star fruit, Taiwanese eagle, peach blossom or sesame buds … These plants are relatively easy to grow indoors, easy to live, grow well, do not require much fertilization or lighting time. large and easy to find on the market. However, when planting, it is still necessary to professional green tree construction teams to properly treat the substrate, drain water as well as the roots to ensure the survival rate of the tree as well as not affect the longevity and structure of the building. . Shrubs Shrubs are herbaceous plants, about 1.2 to 1.5 m in height. Plants can be planted in pots, on walls in large patches or in pots. For shrubs, the species is very diverse and also creates a good landscape for the house such as lan Y, honeysuckle, wealth, fortune, prince, five packaging … The planting place requires enough light for the tree to grow, it can be arranged under a large tree or planted in a tree tub next to a window, a sky well … limit planting in places that are too humid, dark like under a bridge. ladder. Places where natural light is difficult will be difficult to periodically expose the tree to the sun. The place to plant shrubs also requires enough light and can be located under a large tree or planted in a tree tub next to a window or sky well. The planting method should be planted in high strata, tall plants planted inside, in the middle, lower trees outside around to fill the gaps under tall shrubs. Choose shrubs with different leaf sizes to overlap, limit leaves with too many colors and plant sporadic to disturb the plant structure. Treating the soil for shrubs is simpler than for trees, the owner can do by himself. However, for green tree walls, a professional green tree construction team is required. Convolve The liana shape is a green tree that is commonly grown indoors, especially the houses that have limited planting area but still bring green color and good shade. The most popular trees on the market today are betel nut, ten thousand young people, Indian chrysanthemum, lizards … Vines are planted in the pines of the floor. Vines provide shade and landscape in front of the porch. The liana plant does not require an area, large volume of soil for the roots, but the liana still needs enough light for photosynthesis. Especially plants such as confetti, military history … With a long drop shape, the vine is suitable for the position of an elevated tank or pot such as a pine area, a balcony, a staircase, a porch, a fence …

Illustration. Although this impressive growth rate is partly due to the already bleak first-quarter sales of 2020, there is no denying the positive signal of the technology market in recent months. With 82.7 million units delivered to consumers, this is the highest sales volume in the first quarter of the year since 2012. The main driver of growth in the personal computer market has been on the back of small businesses rebounding after a tough pandemic year, with the emphasis on laptops. According to records, sales of this model reached 67.8 million units in the first quarter of 2021, up to 79% over the same period last year. For its part, the desktop computer business also prospered after a bleak year, but has yet to come out of the decline. A total of 14.8 million desktops were sold in the first three months of 2021, down 5% from the same period in 2020. The strong market recovery in the first quarter of 2021 indirectly helped five manufacturers Export leader (accounting for 78% of total market volume) achieved double-digit growth. Specifically, Lenovo – the market leader with 25% market share – sold 20.4 million units in the last quarter, up 61% over the same period in 2020. For its part, HP – thanks to a boom in sales. Chromebook line (cheap computers using Google operating system) – “came in second” in the first quarter of the year with 19.2 million units sold (up 64% over the same period in 2020). In third place is Dell, with modest growth compared to the two competitors, only 23% (equivalent to 12.9 million units sold). This contributes to the US computer company’s market share continued to decline, currently only 15.7% – much lower than the 19.6% recorded after the first quarter of 2020. The other two names in the top five selling PC makers were Apple and Acer, with 6.6 million and 5.7 million units sold, respectively. However, these are the brands with the best growth in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period last year, respectively 105.2% and 82.1%. Forecasts about the market outlook for the whole year 2021, the analysts are optimistic in the context that businesses and organizations start to regain investment in technology infrastructure. However, the supply shortage will still slow the growth of the computer market, leaving many opportunities wasted. In that context, experts urged governments to soon increase investment to support the production of semiconductor components, in order to soon remove these bottlenecks.
