Financial crime Malta graylisted for Financial crimes

Status: 06/24/2021 9:40 a.m.

Corruption, money laundering and “golden passports”: the Mediterranean island of Malta has fallen into twilight. An international institution to combat money laundering now wants to monitor the country more closely. The attempts by the Maltese government to avert the decision of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) were unsuccessful: The international institution for combating money laundering, terrorist financing and the financing of weapons of mass destruction has put Malta on the gray list for financial crimes, according to the Times newspaper of Malta “reported. Inclusion on this list means that the country is under increased surveillance, that it is being monitored more and more. At the same time, the state undertakes to remedy the deficiencies identified in the context of financial crime. Who is the FATF?

The Financial Action Task Force, based in Paris, is an independent international institution that develops and promotes measures to combat money laundering, the financing of terrorism and the financing of weapons of mass destruction. It was founded in 1989 by the G7 countries and currently has 37 members. More than 200 states and jurisdictions have committed to complying with the FATF standards. The FATF is supported by a secretariat affiliated with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

Malta pledges cooperation

Prime Minister Robert Abela confirmed the decision and described it as “unjust”. Most of the concerns expressed by the reviewers have already been addressed. Malta wants to continue with its reform program, said Abela. “We will intensify our exchanges to better explain Malta’s achievements and to ensure that they are respected and understood by the international community.” Malta will never show itself to be uncooperative in the fight against financial crime or resist it, he assured the international partners.

Cayman Islands and Syria are also on the gray list

It is not the first time that Malta has fallen into twilight: the country has already been screened for financial crime more intensely because of its “golden passport” program. Like Cyprus, Malta had granted citizenships in return for financial commitments. The EU Commission then initiated infringement proceedings.

With the jump on the gray list of the FATF there is now a further loss of reputation for the country. As of February 2021, the FATF gray list includes countries such as Burkina Faso, the Cayman Islands, Ghana, Mauritius, Panama, Syria, Uganda, Yemen and Zimbabwe.

Germany holds the FATF presidency

Germany took over the presidency of the FATF in July 2020. The term of office of Marcus Pleyer from the Federal Ministry of Finance ends on June 30, 2022.

WHO has issued a warning and classified 3 types of meat including grilled meat, processed meat, and moldy red meat on the list of types of meat that are likely to cause cancer for users. So if you want to be healthy, it’s best to keep your mouth shut. The first is barbecue: Grilled meat is one of the favorite dishes of many people. It is attractive not only in its sweet, attractive aroma but also because the taste is really delicious, sweet, hard to refuse. However, grilled meat is indeed one of those delicious but toxic dishes. During the roasting process, the fat flows down to create charcoal smoke, which clings to the meat surface. Furthermore, the proteins, sugars and muscle particles of the meat react with extreme heat to form benzopyrene, a type 1 carcinogen. Most notably, the burnt, burnt part of the meat contains heterocyclic amines with the highest carcinogenic potential. WHO also warns that grilled and fried meats have the potential to cause bowel cancer, stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and prostate cancer. The second is processed meat: Including meats such as canned meat, bacon, beef jerky, sausage… In fact, everyone knows that there are many types of additives that can be processed and adjusted. taste and prolong shelf life. However, it is not uncommon for additives that can produce harmful chemicals during processing or cooking. These chemicals can cause cancer. The WHO even classifies processed meat as a food group with a high cancer risk similar to tobacco and industrial smoke. Moldy meat, bacon, and salted meat for too long: Because of being stored for too long in a hot and humid environment, these meats are prone to mold growth. The moldy meat contains aflatoxin – the leading substance in the list of liver carcinogens. There are many people who like to eat meat to mold, according to them, the more moldy, the better, but do not know this meat contains countless dangers. WHO also emphasizes that aflatoxin is a strong carcinogen and can affect all organs in the body, especially the liver and kidneys. Consuming foods containing aflatoxin concentrations of 1mg/kg or more is more likely to cause acute poisoning. Not only that, the risk of liver cancer, aflatoxin is also linked to other types of cancer that are extremely difficult to treat.

INSM allegations against Greens Inaccurate to wrong

Status: 14.06.2021 10:22 a.m. INSM lobbyists want to brand the Greens as a supposed “prohibition party” – and list everything that could be prohibited under their government. But the allegations are only half done, as a dpa fact check shows. With advertisements in daily newspapers and on German media websites, the lobby organization Initiative Neue Soziale Marktwirtschaft (INSM) is targeting the election program of the Greens and their candidate for Chancellor Annalena Baerbock. The company, which is financed by the employers’ associations in the metal and electrical industry, lists several topics on which the Greens allegedly wanted to tame the Germans with bans. “All bans can be substantiated by the green draft program,” tweeted the INSM. But is that really true? The German Press Agency has examined four allegations more closely.

No new registrations from 2030

ALLEGED DEMAND: “You are not allowed to drive an internal combustion engine.” EVALUATION: Wrong. FACTS: The Greens election program for the federal election in 2021 stipulates that from 2030 there will no longer be any new registrations for cars with internal combustion engines. However, the party does not call for a ban on existing vehicles of this type of drive. Such vehicles are likely to exist for much longer, because according to a study from 2020, cars on German roads are on average 9.6 years old. On the way to climate neutrality, which the current federal government (without participation of the Greens) has decided for 2045, Baerbock’s party is betting on a quota for “emission-free cars”. In addition, the motor vehicle tax should make vehicles with internal combustion engines more expensive. In its more detailed explanations of the campaign, the INSM classifies this accordingly on its website, but massively shortens the topic in its striking thesis. The Greens also encourage “car-free city centers and districts”. Driving there would actually be prohibited – regardless of the drive.

Ban on night flights

ALLEGED CLAIM: “You are not allowed to fly.” EVALUATION: Wrong. FACTS: The Greens aim to reduce air traffic. The party only becomes clear in the election manifesto with regard to short-haul and night flights. Short-haul flights should not be banned, but rather become “superfluous” by the expansion of rail traffic by 2030. In mid-May, Baerbock said: “There should be no more short-haul flights in perspective.” In fact, according to the election manifesto, the Greens want to ban night flights – for reasons of noise protection. The INSM shortens the statement here too. In the explanations on its website, the initiative only speaks of a “total moral ban”. By the way: CDU Chancellor candidate Armin Laschet has recently been open to renouncing domestic German flights – if there are appropriate alternatives.

Criticism of agreements

ALLEGED CLAIM: “You are not allowed to participate in free trade.” EVALUATION: Inaccurate. FACTS: An essential part of the idea of ​​free trade is the dismantling of trade barriers, which may well include social or environmental standards. The Greens really do not want open markets without any regulations. In the party’s election manifesto, however, it says: “We want (…) trade agreements that serve the prosperity of all people, demand environmental and climate protection and strengthen relationships with our partners in the fight for democracy and freedom.” For this reason, a planned free trade agreement between the EU and the Latin American trade association Mercosur is rejected, and the Ceta agreement between the EU and Canada is not supposed to be ratified “in its current form”. But even the INSM advocates restrictions, even though it obviously sets different priorities than the Greens: According to the lobby organization, “new legal standards, for example in the area of ​​investment protection”, should be developed for free trade agreements.

Top earners should pay more

ALLEGED CLAIM: “You are allowed to keep even less of your money, even though you are already paying high taxes.” EVALUATION: Partly wrong. FACTS: According to the Greens’ plans, there should actually be higher taxes for top earners, but in return the party wants to relieve those on low to middle incomes. Specifically: The election program provides for single persons with a taxable income of more than 100,000 euros per year to raise the tax rate to 45 (instead of the previous 42) percent. For incomes of more than 250,000 euros, it should increase to 48 percent. At the same time, the basic tax-free allowance – i.e. the tax-free part of income – is to be increased, which in turn is more likely to benefit people with lower wages. According to calculations by the employer-related Institute of the German Economy (IW) in Cologne, all singles with an income of up to 80,000 euros per year would pay less tax in the future if these plans were implemented. According to IW data, this means relief for the bottom 95 percent of incomes.

Sharp criticism of the campaign

The INSM campaign has been massively criticized for days. Chancellor candidate Baerbock is portrayed as Moses, above it is written “We do not need a state religion”. The Berlin anti-Semitism commissioner, Samuel Salzborn, said of the ad: “An election campaign is an election campaign, no question – but also and especially in times when there is heated political debate, chains of associations that accept anti-Semitic allusions are fatal.” The “Moses analogy, the reference to the strict religion of the law, the term ‘state religion’ – all of this arouses anti-Jewish stereotypes in the metaphor that are fatal in the political debate – regardless of any difference in content,” said Salzborn.

Online optician Mister Spex wants to go public

Status: 14.06.2021 11:16 a.m.

The list of companies that want to go public on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange this year is getting longer and longer. Now the online optician Mister Spex is also planning to go out onto the floor to finance its expansion course. The Berlin online optician Mister Spex needs fresh money to finance its expansion plans abroad and wants to go public on the Frankfurt stock exchange by the end of September. The company would like to sell new shares from a capital increase as well as papers from existing shareholders and raise at least 225 million euros. It is Mister Spex’s second attempt to go public. There were already plans in 2018 to finance growth with the help of an IPO. Ultimately, however, the company managed to raise the necessary money through new financing rounds from private investors, so that the IPO was canceled. The shareholders include investors such as Goldman Sachs, DN Capital, Intershop founder Stephan Schambach and StudiVZ founder Ehssan Dariani. Global Growth Capital, a subsidiary of the Internet holding company Rocket Internet, also provided a loan.

Strong increase in sales

Founder and CEO Dirk Graber is quoted as saying: “The IPO is the next logical step for us to strengthen our position as a leading, fundamentally digitally oriented European omnichannel optical brand and to support our long-term growth strategy.” In fact, since its founding at the end of 2007, Mister Spex has succeeded in taking market share from the dominant optician chains in Germany, Fielmann and Apollo, and showing that buying glasses on the Internet can work just as well as in brick-and-mortar stores. Last year, the company increased its sales disproportionately to 164 million euros (plus 18 percent), while Fielmann’s revenues fell by six percent to 1.4 billion euros.

More than 40 own branches

At the European level, revenue in the eyewear market has even fallen by 13 percent. In the first quarter of 2021, Mister Spex is also reporting “sustained momentum” with sales growth of 27 percent compared to the first quarter of 2021. In addition, Mister Spex achieved a positive operating result of seven million euros last year. Despite the strong growth on the Internet, Mister Spex has opened more and more stationary branches in recent years. The company now operates 42 branches of its own in Germany, Austria and Sweden. The managing director Mirko Caspar told the “Handelsblatt” that in the long term half of the sales should be generated in the branches. The figures showed that the combination of online shop, own stores and 400 partner opticians enabled rapid and extensive growth.

Photo: TASS In this regard, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova expressed: “If I understand their message correctly, does that mean that NATO has in fact expressed a desire to be friends? “It’s time for them to decide: either they stop coming up with spy stories, which they use as an excuse to impose sanctions, or it’s no surprise that they find themselves on the list.

Friends come and go. It is a fact of life. There are friends who were once very close and did not hesitate to express all their sincere thoughts and feelings in front of each other, but now they are no longer in contact. Some people have naturally disappeared from each other’s lives and some have left for personal reasons, individual changes in the process of growing up. When they leave, they take a part of us with them. Most of us often mistake “friends” for friends and set our expectations too high in that relationship. On the contrary, we also meet new people and see them as soulmates, ready to open up to them about everything in life. However, if that’s really the case, that’s great, but most of us often mistake “friends” for friends and set too high expectations in that relationship, but forget to observe their desire to be friends really, or just socializing. Identify who you want to build true friendships with Friends may be different in personality and opinion, but there must be similarity in thinking and ability. Not everyone is suitable for building a genuine, high-quality friendship. Different people will vibrate at different levels of consciousness and that will help you filter out who you can connect with. For example: A person with low self-esteem would not be suitable to be friends with an overconfident or ostentatious person; A courageous, experimental person would not be suitable to play too closely with someone who only speaks loudly but dares not to act. Because this will cause a situation where one person restrains/depends on the other, or one person is influenced/disadvantaged by the other. It’s almost a parasite-host, not a true friendship. Friends can be different in personality and opinion, but there must be similarity in thinking and ability (maybe in 2 different aspects, but cannot be too big of a difference). More importantly, the two words match. What true friendships have in common Sticky bonded friendships often have things in common. Analyzing the admirably attached types of friendship, we can see the common points: – They are always there for each other in difficult times or down times in life and help lift spirits. – They have never evaluated and criticized each other for the mistakes of the opponent, They are also not negative with the mistakes, the moves that go into the ground of their friends. – More successful people always support and encourage their friends in all aspects of life. The less successful people, instead of envious and secretly pulling each other down, they admire and appreciate the support of their best friend. – Their friendship usually evolves from a common environment, such as school, workplace, business project, etc.. There they started with win-win and mutual support, so When friendship sprouts it will grow into a very sturdy old tree. Be a best friend before looking for best friends Before I expect to find a good friend, I have to become a good friend myself! Before I expect to find a good friend, I have to become a good friend myself. We must learn to listen and share, build trust with friends by supporting and helping them when they need it. Support your friend’s positive decisions as well as encourage them to practice good habits, experience interesting, interesting things… We also need to learn to put the needs of others before our own. myself. And care about what others are going through in their lives. Things that make a friendship stronger and stronger Without the following, the friendship will break at any time. The starting point for true, true friendships is unconditional kindness, non-judgment, support, and mutual respect. In particular, it must be coming from 2 sides. Without these things, the friendship will “break” at any time.

The top four destinations, Spain, France, Italy and the United States, were eliminated, angering airlines and travel agencies as they continue to struggle to survive. Travelers returning from these four countries are still required to self-isolate upon their return to the UK. Turkey – a major destination is also off the list, tourists have to spend 10 days in quarantine and pay for themselves at the hotel.

Meanwhile, after Portugal entered the UK government’s “green list”, bookings increased by 250% in just a few days, according to statistics from Thomas Cook and Club Med. TUI also said it has added more flights to Portugal. Airlines, airports and travel businesses think the UK Government is being overly cautious; and such limited opening will continue to hinder the tourism industry, which already has many effective solutions to ensure safety. Representatives from Heathrow Airport and British Airways both called on the government to add more countries to the “green list” and allow fully vaccinated people to travel without restrictions. An opinion piece from the British Airline Pilots Association said: “This excessive caution by the government is extremely disappointing to all who work in the travel sector.”

(Photo: THX/VNA) On May 12, the US Department of Defense removed Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi from a “black list” that Washington had accused of being involved in the military operations . The decision comes after an announcement by a US court on May 12, which said Xiaomi and the US government had agreed to settle a legal dispute, which has been one of the causes of increasing tensions. Sino-US relations have not been smooth sailing for many years. Attorneys for the US government said they would not appeal the ruling. In early January 2021, the last days of his presidency, the administration of former US President Donald Trump listed Xiaomi and eight other Chinese companies on the above list, and asked all US investors to withdraw. capital from these companies before 11/11/2021. Soon after, Xiaomi filed a lawsuit against the US Department of Defense and the US Department of Finance, arguing that this decision was illegal. Along with this case, in March 2021, a federal judge in Washington criticized the inclusion of Xiaomi on the above list, and expressed skepticism about the government’s arguments to protect national security. America. Huawei – Xiaomi’s rival company was also included” black list ” in 2019 and is prohibited from accessing critical US-origin technologies. Professor Doug Fuller, who tracks China’s semiconductor sector at the University of Hong Kong, said the incident Xiaomi being removed from the “black list” by the US could be a factor for President Joe Biden’s administration to adjust its policy towards China, which was seen as tough under the previous administration. Xiaomi was founded in 2010 and specializes in the production of smartphones, tablets and smart products for home use. Shares of Xiaomi rose 11.3% on the US stock market and gained more than 6% on the Hong Kong (China) stock exchange after being removed from the “black list.” The company’s share price has fallen about 20% since January 2021.

On April 23, the list of valid candidates for the 2021 academician co-election of the Chinese Academy of Engineering was announced. Wang Li, the chief engineer of Maotai, was not on the list.

Public information shows that after the presidium of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, 577 effective candidates for academician co-election in 2021 have been determined.

Sohu Finance and Economics found that there were 48 people in the Department of Environment and Textile Engineering, and 8 candidates related to food. Including Shan Yang of Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Gao Haiyan of Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Jiang Zhengqiang of China Agricultural University, Li Jianrong of Bohai University, Sheng Jun of Yunnan Agricultural University, Wang Shouwei of China Meat Research Center, Xie Mingyong of Nanchang University, Zhang of Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences Name position.

In February of this year, the Guizhou Association for Science and Technology recommended the list of co-opted academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and announced that Wang Li, chief engineer and chief quality officer of Moutai Group, was shortlisted for academician candidates.

China Broadcasting Corporation commented that it is difficult to recommend the selection of academicians by researchers dedicated to the research of “winemaking” technology, and it is difficult to represent the strategic direction of “rejuvenating the country through science and technology,” and it will also cause people to question the direction of social scientific research and academician recommendation and selection criteria. All kinds of questions need to be faced directly, and all parties concerned should be cautious!

Some netizens also questioned the standards of academician candidates, ridiculing the names of “mao-flavor talents” and “baijiu academicians”, and asked whether Laoganma and Shisanxiang had a chance to be shortlisted.

The Guizhou Association for Science and Technology subsequently responded to the question and stated that the Association strictly followed the relevant regulations to carry out the recommendation work, and there was no interference from other factors. At the same time, it is emphasized that candidates who are publicized do not necessarily mean that they will be co-opted as academicians.

Under the ridicule of netizens “Maoxiang Technology”, how to improve the innovation ability of the liquor industry has become one of the focuses of discussion.

Kweichow Moutai’s 2020 financial report showed that the company achieved operating income of 94.915 billion yuan, an increase of 11.10% year-on-year, and the net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 46.697 billion yuan, an increase of 13.33% year-on-year.

Among them, research and development expenses were 50.398 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3.51%, which was less than one-thousandth of revenue.

Up to now, Kweichow Moutai has authorized a total of 160 patents, of which 62 are design patents, and 33 and 32 are invention and utility model patents respectively.

Moutai’s design patents account for about 40% of the total number of patents, mainly for wine bottles, wine boxes, etc. Up to now, there are 150 design patents, of which 80 are suspended and no longer used. It can be seen that the design patents are very good. Timeliness.

According to rough statistics, among the 33 invention patents, Wang Li has participated in more than 20 projects, including research on brewing microorganisms, methods for identifying the quality of pit mud, and methods for determining 100 pesticide residues in liquor.

In addition, Kweichow Moutai has 32 utility model patents, including a koji powder charging system, carbon fiber spade sticks and wine-making tools, and a liquor plant structure, most of which are related to liquor production.

According to the official website of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, after the presidium of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, a total of 577 effective candidates for the academician co-election in 2021 have been determined.

Nandu previously reported that according to an article on Maotai’s official website, Wang Li, 49, has been working since 1994 and has successively won the second prize of National Technical Invention Award, State Council Special Allowance Expert, National Liquor Judge, National Brewing Senior Judge and other honorary titles. He presided over and organized more than ten projects such as “Research on Moutai Flavor Substances”, “Development of Analysis Methods for Food Safety Indexes in Raw Materials and Appliances”, and “Application of Near Infrared Spectroscopy Technology in Liquor Industry”.

The Southern Metropolis reporter noticed that in an interview in July 2016, the journal “Wine Brewing” sponsored by the Heilongjiang Provincial Light Industry Federation and sponsored by the China Association for Standardization disclosed Wang Li’s early experience. The interview article titled “Chinese Liquor Youth Expert” mentioned that in July 1994, because of love, Wang Li, who had just graduated from university, moved to Guizhou from the northwest to join Moutai in July 1994.

According to the school’s official website, in March 2018, Wang Li and his wife returned to school to donate. At that time, the school’s official website published an article stating, “Wang Li, a 90-level food professional alumnus, chief engineer of China Kweichow Moutai Distillery (Group) Co., Ltd., and meter 92 alumni, director of China Kweichow Moutai Distillery (Group) Logistics Co., Ltd. Chang Zhang Bencai returned to his alma mater and donated to the museum the 90th anniversary of the Panama Gold Medal, which he has collected for many years, to commemorate Moutai.

According to an article in the journal “Wine Making”, after graduating from Shaanxi University of Science and Technology with a major in food, Wang Li entered Moutai as a researcher, and then went through a path from researcher, technician, technical executive to company executive.

An interview with the “Wine Making” magazine disclosed that, “In the first few years of work, Wang Li did not know how to taste wine, or even drink. It was not until 2000 that the national judge selection examination, which had been suspended for more than ten years, began again. Sensual keenness Wang Li was promoted to the Maotai evaluation training class, and passed the national judges with a good ranking within half a year.” The article commented on this incident “opened a new chapter in her career.”

At that time, Kweichow Moutai released the news that Wang Li was shortlisted as a co-opted academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the news quickly aroused heated discussions among netizens. On the morning of February 18, the Guizhou Association for Science and Technology responded to this matter and stated that the relevant selection complied with the statutory process, and stated that the party concerned, Wang Li, “completely has this condition.”

On the afternoon of February 18, the Chinese Academy of Engineering responded that Wang Li was still in the stage of recommendation and publicity by the Local Association for Science and Technology, and was not an effective candidate for the 2021 academician co-election of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. The Chinese Academy of Engineering will continue to pay attention to the relevant situation.

On the afternoon of the 18th, the relevant person in charge of the China Association for Science and Technology responded to the Southern Metropolis reporter and said that he was learning about the relevant recommenders from the Guizhou Association for Science and Technology. It emphasized that the list of online disputes is still in the process of local publicity.

Schematic diagram of the scenic spot. Probably the tour route is to take a sightseeing bus to Camp No. 3. The surrounding attractions of Camp No. 3 are the Chengmendong Glacier, and you can go down to Dongga Temple and Caohaizi. Go up to Ganheba and continue to take the cable car to Camp No. 4 to see the scale. Glacier and Gongga Snow Mountain. If you want to take the cable car to Camp 4, you have to spend another 135 yuan for the cable car ticket. The night before we entered the ditch, local friends tried their best to persuade us that this season, even if we go in, there is a high probability that we will not see anything… However, I was very stubborn and bought a ticket. Look, it turned out that the weather was not good. We got off the bus when we arrived at Camp No. 3. We played the city gate first, and then decided whether to go to Camp No. 4 depending on the situation. The fog in the forest gradually thickened. I don’t think it’s so good… Camp No. 3 is about two kilometers from Chengmen Cave. If you don’t want to walk, you can also buy a battery ticket for 30 people back and forth. At the end of the battery car is a small green lake with a nice name: Crescent Lake. Although the weather is bad, the lake is still clear and transparent. According to the introduction, when it is sunny, this is the best place to watch the Golden Mountain in sunshine. The melted snow from the glacier rolled down the river beach swiftly. Upward along the plank road is the Chengmendong Glacier. These red stones are scattered on the river beach. In fact, it is not that the stone is red, but that a kind of red moss grows on the surface of the stone. But it is amazing that this kind of moss only grows here. If someone takes it home, it won’t be long before the moss dies, and the bright red stone will become an ordinary stone again. So remember, just enjoy them here. Judging from the map of the scenic spot, there is a larger redstone beach near Camp 4, but looking at the weather today, I think we must not be able to go up. Ahead, the gate hole! Seeing the two small black spots in the air? That’s the cable car to Camp 4. The red rock beach at the foot. View the city gate cave from a distance. At the end of this plank road, you can no longer go forward, and the glacier can only be seen from afar. However, there will still be many people who turn down the plank road and walk from the rocky beach to the glacier. Look at tourists in twos and threes. Even though the mountains are covered with limestone and rocks, in fact, what is covered underneath is not the mountain, but the faint blue Wannian glacier. When the lens is stretched to the longest one, it counts. Anyway, if you walk in front of you, it is impossible to climb into the ice cave to see, and you are pulling the cordon! It is known as the lowest glacier in the world, only 2850 meters above sea level. The biggest highlight of Hailuogou is the glacier at low altitude. Even the highest camp No. 4 has several glaciers and an altitude of 3,600 meters, which is a height that most healthy people can easily reach. However, when we returned by the battery car, the driver’s brother said: This day, there is no need to go to Camp No. 4, it is all foggy, and you can’t see anything. It’s a waste of money. Listen to people’s advice to eat a full meal Give up immediately. I ate something at the service station of Camp 3 to replenish my energy. Decided to take the walking trail in the forest to Dongga Temple, and after seeing the distance, it was only 1.8 kilometers. It should be easy. In the forest, the big trees are covered with usnea. Usnea has very high requirements for air, which at least shows that the ecological environment of Hailuogou is very good. The trail is not lonely, and from time to time, twos and threes of tourists also pass by. On a dead tree, with small mushrooms, squatted down and patted it. Tiny spider webs. Flowers from moss. A small glacial rain pond. This is a unique wetland landscape formed by the combination of abundant groundwater deposited by melting glaciers and sufficient precipitation. Such a dense virgin forest, if you walk alone, you will be a little scared! In this place, the broken tree lay horizontally on the ground. It had obviously been a long time since the tree body began to rot and was covered with moss. Reminds me of Ta Prohm Temple in Angkor. An abandoned house, the roof is already full of moss and vines. This is the world of plants… This big tree, called “Avalokitesvara of Thousand Hands”, really looks like it! The melted snow water from the glacier descends mightily from here, and the roar can be heard from far away. Adjust the parameters and take a slow shot. The plank road slowly climbed up, it was a bit difficult to walk, and while walking, he said: This is at least 3 kilometers, why hasn’t it been there yet? When I finally saw the sign of Dongga Temple, the fog became thicker and thicker. Touching the hair, it seems a little wet. There is no rain on the mountain road, and Kongcui’s clothes are wet! To Dongga Temple, you can take a scenic bus to go out, or you can continue to the next destination, Caohaizi. Because I was tired, and it was too early, I gave up Caohaizi and prepared to go straight down the mountain. There are a lot of big brothers here. If there are plastic bags on the outside of your backpack, they will unceremoniously grab them, flip through the contents, and throw them away if they don’t have what they want. Very fierce… When I went down the mountain, I ran into a few tourists who took the cable car to Camp 4. They said with a bitter expression that they had spent the cable car money, and they went up to a vast expanse of whiteness and saw nothing. Look at the picture below. When we got here, the clouds and mist were halfway up the mountain, which would have already filled the ground. In the scenic area, the visibility is estimated to be less than 50 meters… TIPS: Hailuogou is actually a good place. You can soak in hot springs, watch the sunshine Jinshan, get close to the glaciers, and hike in the virgin forest to breathe fresh air… But the season should be chosen. Generally speaking, the sunny weather is the most in winter. A friend in Chengdu said that locals go to Hailuogou only in winter when they go to hot springs. In other seasons, the probability of encountering cloudy and rainy days is higher. Although it is barely a plateau, I always feel that the mountains have a microclimate, which is not the same as the plains. Of course, if you are lucky, it might be sunny in summer. For accommodation, outside the gate of Hailuogou is Moxi Ancient Town. There are many inns, hotels, and restaurants. The old stone road streets in the ancient town and the Catholic Church, the former site of the Moxi Conference, can be visited and feel very good. Traffic, self-driving direct according to navigation. You can take public transportation to Luding County first, and then take the village bun to the ancient town of Moxi, which takes about an hour and a half.

According to the official website of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, after the presidium of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, 577 effective candidates for academician co-election are determined in 2021.

As soon as the news came out that Wang Li was recommended by the Guizhou Association for Science and Technology to be included in the list of co-opted academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, people linked the matter to the “Tobacco Academician” controversy many years ago, and even ridiculed him as a “Liquor Academician”. .

As early as February of this year, the China Broadcasting Corporation published the title “Moutai Female Chief Worker Shortlisted for Academician Candidates? Be cautious! “Commentary article. The article mentioned that it is difficult to recommend the selection of academicians by researchers dedicated to the research of “wine-making” technology, which can hardly represent the strategic direction of “rejuvenating the country through science and technology”, and it will also cause people to question the direction of social scientific research and academician recommendation and selection criteria. At the same time, the article pointed out that Moutai Group is a well-known brewing company with a high market position and has ranked first in tax payment in Guizhou for three consecutive years. In this context, the chief engineer of Moutai Group was recommended by the Guizhou Association for Science and Technology to be shortlisted as a co-opted academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Has it been affected by market factors other than scientific research results? If elected, will the biggest beneficiary be the brewing company he works for? “All these kinds of questions need to be faced directly, and all parties concerned should be cautious!”

The person in charge of the relevant department of the Chinese Academy of Engineering said in response in February this year that Wang Li is still in the stage of recommendation and publicity by the local Association for Science and Technology, and is not an effective candidate for the academician co-election of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 2021. “We will continue to pay attention to the relevant situation.”

According to official information from Moutai Group, Wang Li is 49 years old. She graduated from Northwestern Institute of Light Industry (now Shaanxi University of Science and Technology) in 1994, majoring in food, and then joined Moutai Distillery. She is currently the chief engineer of China Kweichow Moutai Distillery (Group) Co., Ltd. Chief Quality Officer, has presided over and participated in the compilation of a number of enterprise technical standards, and has successively won the second prize of National Technology Invention Award, State Council Special Allowance Expert, National Light Industry “Great Power Craftsman”, National Brewing Senior Appraiser and other honorary titles.

According to the official website of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, after the presidium of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, a total of 577 effective candidates for the academician co-election in 2021 have been determined. Earlier, Kweichow Moutai’s “baijiu academician” aroused concern. On February 17, the Kweichow Moutai public account announced that Wang Li, the chief engineer and chief quality officer of Moutai Group, was shortlisted as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

Nandu previously reported that according to an article on Maotai’s official website, Wang Li, 49, has been working since 1994 and has won the second prize of National Technical Invention Award, State Council Special Allowance Expert, National Liquor Judge, National Brewing Senior Judge and other honorary titles. He presided over and organized more than ten projects such as “Research on Moutai Flavor Substances”, “Development of Analysis Methods for Food Safety Indexes in Raw Materials and Appliances”, and “Application of Near Infrared Spectroscopy Technology in Liquor Industry”.

The Southern Metropolis reporter noticed that in an interview in July 2016, the journal “Wine Brewing” sponsored by the Heilongjiang Provincial Light Industry Federation and sponsored by the China Association for Standardization disclosed Wang Li’s early experience. The interview article titled “Chinese Liquor Youth Expert” mentioned that in July 1994, because of love, Wang Li, who had just graduated from university, moved to Guizhou from the northwest to join Moutai in July 1994.

A reporter from Nandu retrieved public information and noticed that Wang Li graduated from Shaanxi University of Science and Technology majoring in food and was an alumnus with her husband. According to the school’s official website, in March 2018, Wang Li and his wife returned to school to donate. At that time, the school’s official website published an article stating, “Wang Li, a 90-level food professional alumnus, chief engineer of China Kweichow Moutai Distillery (Group) Co., Ltd., and meter 92 alumni, director of China Kweichow Moutai Distillery (Group) Logistics Co., Ltd. Chang Zhang Bencai returned to his alma mater and donated to the museum the 90th anniversary of the Panama Gold Medal, which he has collected for many years, to commemorate the Moutai. For many years, the couple have always cared about the development of the alma mater and the school.”

According to an article in the journal “Wine Making”, after graduating from Shaanxi University of Science and Technology with a major in food, Wang Li entered Moutai as a researcher, and then went through a path from researcher, technician, technical executive to company executive.

An interview with the “Wine Making” magazine disclosed that, “In the first few years of work, Wang Li did not know how to taste wine, or even drink. It was not until 2000 that the national judge selection examination, which had been suspended for more than ten years, began again. Sensual keenness Wang Li was promoted to the Maotai evaluation training class, and passed the national judges with a good ranking within half a year.” The article commented on this incident “opened a new chapter in her career.”

At that time, Kweichow Moutai announced that Wang Li was shortlisted as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. The news quickly aroused heated discussions among netizens. On the morning of February 18, the Guizhou Association for Science and Technology responded to this matter and stated that the relevant selection complied with the statutory process, and stated that the party concerned, Wang Li, “fully has this condition.”

On the afternoon of February 18, the Chinese Academy of Engineering responded that Wang Li was still in the stage of recommendation and publicity by the Local Association for Science and Technology, and was not an effective candidate for the 2021 academician co-election of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. The Chinese Academy of Engineering will continue to pay attention to the relevant situation.

On the afternoon of the 18th, the relevant person in charge of the China Association for Science and Technology responded to the Southern Metropolis reporter and said that he was learning about the relevant recommenders from the Guizhou Association for Science and Technology. It emphasized that the list of online disputes is still in the process of local publicity.

CG novices, your gospel is here~

In order to allow beginners to better learn the basics of computer graphics, a Harvard brother created graphics-workshop , Has been available on GitHub in about a week 1K star.

It contains 5 sub-projects: quilt block pattern, procedural texture generation, rasterization and coloring, stylized rendering, and ray tracing.

Users need to use npm To install, install dependencies and start the development server by running the following code.

3packages arelooking forfunding run npm fundfordetails

found0vulnerabilities

$ npm run dev

vite v2 .1.5dev serverrunning at:

Local: http://localhost: 3000/ > Network: http:// 10.250.14.217: 3000/

ready in555ms.

How to use it? Let’s see it together.

Quilt block pattern

First, you can make a quilt block pattern as Starter project , It shows the 2D grid The process of rendering in the middle.

The author gave the corresponding code in “shaders/quilt.frag.glsl”. The fragment shader traverses each pixel and passes the pixel number into gl_FragCoord.xy to draw a 2D grid.

Novices can pass Uncomment , To change the graphics, including drawing, flipping the shape and changing the color.

For example, modify the if statement, you can change the geometric shape of the pattern;

If you want to generate richer RGB colors, you can modify the variable c to achieve:

Finally, use gl_FragColor to output the color of the pixel.

Procedural texture generation

In addition to making quilt block patterns, you can also create scenes similar to those in “Minecraft”:

To generate a natural look, the developers used a common graphics primitive called simplex noise. The function float snoise(vec2) is used to receive the vector and output a smooth scalar noise value at that position.

Since the noise values ​​at different positions are roughly independent, changing the seed at the top right of the screen will enable you to see the new shape output after rendering.

Uncomment the first code block in turn, learn to combine noises of different pitches to change the texture; uncomment the second code block, learn to use thresholds (especially mix and smoothstep functions) to adjust colors.

In addition, you can also add parameters, such as: using temperature, independent sampling from the noise map to change the shadow, etc.

Rasterization and shading

Same algorithm as most video games, using rasterization method to render 3D triangle mesh , Presenting a more realistic effect:

Decompose the 3D surface into triangles, and then draw each triangle independently on the screen and insert variables between them.

The image is stored as a triangle mesh, and the fragment shader will evaluate each fragment of the triangle once, not for each pixel.

Users can click and drag to view different angles of the graph, view shapes other than the teapot through mesh, and use kd to change the color of the object.

With the illuminate function, the position of the light source and the effect of the light source on the color of the current pixel can be expressed.

The code currently only supports diffuse reflection, users can also update the code and add Phong reflection of mirror Components.

Stylized rendering

The code for this project is very similar to the above project.

But after the lighting calculation, the color will not be output immediately, but According to the brightness intensity threshold , Discretization and processing of different styles.

Ray tracing

Ray tracing is the gold standard in photorealistic rendering.

By shooting a ray for each pixel, the fragment shader is used for geometric calculation, and the trace function is used to return the color corresponding to the given ray for modeling.

Use the intersect function to calculate the first intersection of any ray in space; illuminate is used to add the effects of two point light sources to calculate the illumination of a given point.

Before performing lighting calculations, add conditional statements to check whether the rays from the point to the light source are blocked. If it is occluded, it should immediately return to vec3(0.0) to simulate shadows.

By modifying the code, you can also select the intensity and add a third point light source at a different position.

On April 23, the list of valid candidates for the 2021 academician co-election of the Chinese Academy of Engineering was announced. Wang Li, the chief engineer of Maotai, was not on the list.

Public information shows that after the presidium of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, 577 effective candidates for academician co-election in 2021 have been determined.

Sohu Finance and Economics found that there were 48 people in the Department of Environment and Textile Engineering, and 8 food-related candidates. Including Shan Yang of Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Gao Haiyan of Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Jiang Zhengqiang of China Agricultural University, Li Jianrong of Bohai University, Sheng Jun of Yunnan Agricultural University, Wang Shouwei of China Meat Research Center, Xie Mingyong of Nanchang University, Zhang of Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences Name position.

In February of this year, the Guizhou Association for Science and Technology recommended the list of co-opted academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and announced that Wang Li, chief engineer and chief quality officer of Moutai Group, was shortlisted for academician candidates.

China Broadcasting Corporation commented that it is difficult to recommend the selection of academicians by researchers dedicated to the research of “brewing” technology, and it is difficult to represent the strategic direction of “rejuvenating the country through science and technology,” and it will also cause people to question the direction of social scientific research and academician recommendation and selection criteria. All kinds of questions need to be faced directly, and all parties concerned should be cautious!

Some netizens also questioned the standards of academician candidates, ridiculing the names of “mao-flavor talents” and “baijiu academicians”, and asked whether Laoganma and Shisanxiang also had a chance to be shortlisted.

The Guizhou Association for Science and Technology subsequently responded to the question and stated that the Association strictly followed the relevant regulations to carry out the recommendation work, and there was no interference from other factors. At the same time, it is emphasized that candidates who are publicized do not necessarily mean that they will be co-opted as academicians.

Under the ridicule of netizens “Maoxiang Technology”, how to improve the innovation ability of the liquor industry has become one of the focuses of discussion.

Kweichow Moutai’s 2020 financial report showed that the company achieved operating income of 94.915 billion yuan, an increase of 11.10% year-on-year, and the net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 46.697 billion yuan, an increase of 13.33% year-on-year.

Among them, research and development expenses were 50.398 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3.51%, which was less than one-thousandth of revenue.

Up to now, Kweichow Moutai has authorized a total of 160 patents, of which 62 are design patents, and 33 and 32 are invention and utility model patents respectively.

Moutai’s design patents account for about 40% of the total number of patents, mainly for wine bottles, wine boxes, etc. Up to now, there are 150 design patents, 80 of which have been suspended and no longer used. It can be seen that the design patents are very good. Timeliness.

According to rough statistics, among the 33 invention patents, Wang Li has participated in more than 20 projects, including research on brewing microorganisms, methods for identifying the quality of pit mud, and methods for determining 100 pesticide residues in liquor.

In addition, Kweichow Moutai has 32 utility model patents, including a koji powder charging system, carbon fiber spade sticks and wine-making tools, and a liquor plant structure, most of which are related to liquor production.

After the 3rd Consultation, out of 52 candidates for National Assembly deputies, Ho Chi Minh City has 37 qualified people in the official list of candidates for the 15th National Assembly. In addition, 13 delegates were nominated by the Central Government to stand for candidacy in the city. State President Nguyen Xuan Phuc ran for the 15th National Assembly member in Ho Chi Minh City.

“Ping An’s technology strategy continues to deepen, and its technology business maintains rapid development.” The relevant person in charge said. It is reported that as of the end of March 2021, the company’s number of scientific and technological patent applications has increased by 1,100 from the beginning of the year, reaching a total of 32,500, ranking it among the top international financial institutions.

“Ping An of China was the first to implement digitalization in China’s insurance industry, and the investment was the largest, and the results were the best. In the past, the effect of technology investment was obvious, so the income of the technology sector has gradually increased substantially.” China Insurance and Insurance and Insurance Group of Wudaokou School of Finance, Tsinghua University Zhu Junsheng, research director of the Pension Research Center, spoke highly of Ping An’s technology sector and believed that this was a positive result of the company’s firm implementation of its digital transformation strategy over the past years.

At the same time, according to the first quarterly report, Ping An achieved operating profit of 39.120 billion yuan attributable to shareholders of the parent company, an increase of 8.9% year-on-year; annualized operating ROE (return on equity) reached 20.0%.

In terms of customer operating performance, the first quarterly report showed that as of the end of March this year, the number of Ping An’s personal customers exceeded 220 million, an increase of 1.0% from the beginning of the year; among them, the number of individual customers holding contracts with multiple subsidiaries was 84.57 million, accounting for 38.3. %. In the first quarter of 2021, the scale of group business comprehensive financial financing increased by 84.9% year-on-year.

Business value increased by 15.4% year-on-year to 18.980 billion yuan; operating profit increased steadily by 4.2% year-on-year to 25.580 billion yuan. At the same time, according to a quarterly report, Ping An’s life insurance reform project has entered the stage of comprehensive promotion and implementation. In this regard, Zhu Junsheng commented that it will take time for Ping An’s personal insurance reform strategy to pass down, and the reform effect is gradually showing.

In terms of property and casualty insurance business, in the first quarter of 2021, Ping An Property and Casualty’s comprehensive cost ratio was 95.2%, a year-on-year decrease of 1.3 percentage points; operating profit was 5.119 billion yuan, an increase of 15.2%; the “Ping An Good Car Owner” APP is the largest car in China Service APP, as of the end of March this year, the number of registered users exceeded 133 million, an increase of 5.1% from the beginning of the year.

Regarding the decline in the comprehensive cost rate of Ping An Property & Casualty Insurance, Zhu Junsheng analyzed that the company’s strong risk control management and good customer segmentation led to a decline in the comprehensive cost rate. Therefore, it still achieved better operating performance under the background of the comprehensive reform of auto insurance.

In terms of asset allocation of insurance fund investment portfolios, the first quarterly report shows that as of March 31, 2021, the scale of Ping An Insurance’s investment portfolio reached 3.78 trillion yuan, an increase of 1.1% from the beginning of the year. At the same time, the annualized net investment rate of return on the company’s insurance fund investment portfolio in the first quarter was 3.5%, and the annualized total investment rate of return was 3.1%.

Edit: Dimensions Microsoft Swin Transformer, which slaughtered major CV tasks, recently open sourced the code and pre-training models. Since Google proposed Transformer in June 2017, it has gradually become the mainstream model in the field of natural language processing. In the recent period, Transformer has even started its own cross-border journey and began to show its talents in the field of computer vision. A number of new Transformer-based models have emerged, such as Google’s ViT for image classification and Fudan, Oxford, Tencent SETR and other institutions. As a result, “Is Transformer a omnipotent?” has once become a hot topic in the machine learning community. Not long ago, researchers from Microsoft Asia Research proposed a hierarchical visual Transformer calculated through shifted windows, which they called Swin Transformer. Compared with the previous ViT model, Swin Transformer has made the following two improvements: First, it introduces the hierarchical construction method commonly used in CNN to build a hierarchical Transformer; second, it introduces the idea of ​​locality, which is for windows that do not overlap. Perform self-attention calculations within the area. Link to the paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2103.14030.pdf First look at the overall workflow of Swin Transformer. Figure 3a shows the overall architecture of Swin Transformer, and Figure 3b shows two consecutive Swin Transformer blocks. The highlight of this research is the use of moving windows to calculate the representation of hierarchical Transformers. By limiting the self-attention calculation to non-overlapping partial serial ports, it also allows cross-window connections. This hierarchical structure can be flexibly modeled on different scales and has the linear computational complexity of the image size. Figure 2 below shows the workflow of calculating self-attention using moving windows in the Swin Transformer architecture: The characteristics of the model itself enable it to achieve a very competitive performance in a series of visual tasks. Among them, an image classification accuracy rate of 86.4% was achieved on the ImageNet-1K data set, and 58.7% of the target detection box AP and 51.1% of the mask AP were achieved on the COCO test-dev data set. At present, on the COCO minival and COCO test-dev data sets, Swin-L (a variant of Swin Transformer) has achieved SOTA in both target detection and instance segmentation tasks. In addition, on the ADE20K val and ADE20K datasets, Swin-L also implements SOTA in the semantic segmentation task. Open source code and pre-trained model Not long after the Swin Transformer paper was published, Microsoft officially released the code and pre-training model on GitHub recently, covering image classification, target detection, and semantic segmentation tasks. Only two days after the launch, the project has received 1,900 stars. Project address: https://github.com/microsoft/Swin-Transformer First, the image classification task, the accuracy results of Swin-T, Swin-S, Swin-B and Swin-L variant models on ImageNet-1K and ImageNet-22K data sets are as follows: Secondly, the target detection task: The results of the variant models of Swin-T, Swin-S, Swin-B and Swin-L on the COCO target detection (2017 val) dataset are as follows: The final semantic segmentation task: The results of Swin-T, Swin-S, Swin-B and Swin-L variant models on the ADE20K semantic segmentation (val) dataset are as follows. Currently, Swin-L has achieved 53.50% of the SOTA verified mIoU score.

In Chrome browser 89 or earlier, if you enter a URL in the address bar of Chrome, the browser will first ping the HTTP (non-secure) version of the website, and then redirect the user to the HTTPS (secure) version. After installing the latest update of Google Chrome, Chrome 90 will ping the HTTPS version of the website instead of the non-secure protocol.

IT Home is informed that Google Chrome has blocked the downloading of files transmitted via HTTP protocol on HTTPS pages. At present, only the Google Chrome browser automatically loads the URL through HTTPS. It is not clear whether this feature will also land on other Chromium browsers such as Edge.

The following is an introduction to the new features in Chrome 90

AV1 codec

AV1 is an open source codec designed to achieve higher quality video streaming with different form factors and platforms. Firefox already supports AV1, and Google Chrome has also received this feature in the latest update.

In addition to better video quality, AV1 can also reduce data usage, especially on mobile devices (Android and iOS) or when you have a slow Internet connection.

AV1 is not just to improve the quality of streaming media. In theory, this feature can provide better compression efficiency and screen sharing on services such as Discord and Microsoft Teams (Web).

However, the AV1 support in the Chrome browser is not enough to improve the visual quality.The content on the website also needs to use AV1 encoding instead of H.264 or other formats.

Window rename

Google Chrome will get a new window management feature to make it easier to identify multiple browser windows. To access this feature, you need to open the Chrome menu (…), click on “More Tools”, and then select “Rename Window”.

Or you can right-click on the browser window to access this function.

Chrome 90 will remember the name you configured for the window, and they will be restored the next time you open the browser or the browser suddenly crashes.

IT Home is informed that this feature will also come to the 90 version of Microsoft Edge browser.

Other improvements in Chrome 90

• WebXR in-depth API. The Chrome browser will obtain a new API based on the existing WebXR device API to improve the browser experience in AR. Using this API and depth buffer information, Chrome-based applications will better understand the user’s environment.
• The URL protocol setter is being activated to improve standards compliance.
• Performance stacking. For developers, the Chrome browser is getting an optional new coverage, which will use Core Web Vitals and other metrics promoted by Google to highlight the performance of the site.
• safety. The Chrome browser will now block connections to HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP servers on port 554 to mitigate NAT Slipstream 2.0 attacks.

Google said that Chrome browser 90 is being launched and it is likely to be available for download in the next few days.

“Huawei’s cooperative car has a much better experience than Tesla”

“6G should be introduced to the market around 2030”

……

From April 12th to 14th, the Huawei Analyst Conference was held in Shenzhen. Under heavy pressure, how will the future go? Rotating Chairman Xu Zhijun elaborated on the five key strategic measures in the future and responded to hot topics such as “sanctions”, “cloud business structure adjustment”, “car building”, and “6G”.

After being suppressed by three rounds of US bans, Huawei still survived. The 2020 financial report shows that Huawei has achieved both revenue and net profit growth. Xu Zhijun believes that “performance is in line with expectations.” However, the crisis has quietly emerged. Huawei’s 2020 revenue growth rate is the lowest in the past 10 years. Before this, Huawei has maintained a double-digit growth rate for 6 consecutive years.

Under the ban, Huawei’s mobile phone business was most affected. Its shipments fell out of the top five in Q4 last year. The continuity of 5G base station chip supply was also questioned, and the ballast business inevitably fell into a “deceleration” state.

Reducing chip dependence and increasing the proportion of software revenue has become the key to Huawei’s “survival”. It can be found that the current Hongmeng, cloud business, and automotive businesses that Huawei focuses on are all focused on the software layer, and ecological construction has become an important breakthrough point.

“The goal for this year is to survive, but we still have to strive to live a little bit better.” Xu Zhijun said frankly that he has no illusions about Huawei being removed from the entity list and will work and live on the entity list for a long time.

Increase software revenue and solve continuous supply chain problems

Facing the worries of the outside world, Xu Zhijun gave a “centring agent” at the analyst conference and proposed five key strategic measures for the future.

1. It is necessary to optimize the industry mix and enhance the resilience of the industry, especially to enhance software capabilities, strengthen investment in advanced technology and weakly related industries and smart auto parts industry investment; 2. To promote the full play of 5G value, define 5.5G, and lead the continuous evolution of 5G; 3 .User-centered to create a seamless smart experience in all scenarios; 4. Reduce energy consumption through technological innovation and realize a low-carbon society; 5. Work hard to solve the problem of continuous supply.

Regarding optimizing industry mix and enhancing software capabilities. Xu Zhijun pointed out that he hopes to further use the improvement of software capabilities to reduce the demand for and dependence on chips, and at the same time enhance the competitiveness of products. At the end of November 2018, Huawei’s board of directors passed a decision to invest US$2 billion to improve the company’s software engineering capabilities. Now Huawei will continue to invest unswervingly to improve the entire Huawei’s software engineering capabilities within a five-year cycle. One step.

He said that the recent adjustments to the organization and cadres of the cloud and computing BG are because we believe that the core of the cloud is software, and we hope to strengthen the organization of the software and decouple it from the hardware. At the same time, increase investment and better face the future to achieve the growth of the software industry.

Xu Zhijun believes that it is necessary to continue to increase investment in the smart car parts industry, especially in autonomous driving software. “The goal is to realize driverless cars. Once realized, it will subvert almost all industries related to cars. This is also the most disruptive industrial change that can be seen in 10 years.”

In terms of 5G business, Xu Zhijun said that the most important thing is to increase the development of 5G To C, speed up the improvement of 5G To B solutions, and strengthen the large-scale commercialization of 5G To B. In terms of 5G To B, as of 2020, Huawei has participated in the practice of more than 3,000 innovative projects around the world, and signed more than 1,000 5G To B project contracts in more than 20 industries with operators and partners.

In terms of seamless experience in all scenarios, Xu Zhijun pointed out that based on HarmonyOS and HMS, Huawei will continue to enrich the two ecosystems of hardware and services together with developers and ecological partners. “It is expected that in 2021, 40+ mainstream brands and 100 million devices will become the new entrance to the HarmonyOS experience.”

More than $1 billion has been invested in the research and development of smart car parts

“Xiaomi has built cars, why doesn’t Huawei build cars?” Xu Zhijun said, this question has been asked many times, and some think that Huawei has the brand and technical capabilities and should build cars.

In fact, Huawei’s decision to “not build a car” was made carefully after years of discussion. Xu Zhijun said that Huawei began to conduct car-related research in 2012, when a car networking laboratory was established under the 2012 laboratory.

“But as research continues to move forward, the automotive industry is constantly changing, from a simple electric car to a self-driving car.” Xu Zhijun said that he communicated with many high-level auto companies and found that the industry The industry needs Huawei’s ICT capabilities more than Huawei’s brand.

In 2018, Huawei’s management team met in Sanya and made a decision: it is clear that Huawei will not build cars and help car companies build good cars. “This decision has not changed so far.”

At present, Huawei chooses to use the “Huawei inside” approach to support car companies to build their sub-brands. “We have selected three car companies and launched three sub-brand cars, such as BAIC ARC FOX. A series of cars will be launched in the fourth quarter. We have also cooperated with Chongqing Changan and Guangzhou Automobile.”

“Investment in research and development of smart car parts this year exceeded 1 billion US dollars.” Xu Zhijun pointed out that smart car BU is an industry that Huawei has invested heavily in. It has its own sales, delivery, and other organizational capabilities. It is a function of the company in addition to consumer BG. The most complete BU.

Xu Zhijun believes that China now needs 30 million cars a year, and there will be more in the future. Even if it is only in the Chinese market, it is enough to get an average of 10,000 yuan in income from each car every year.

“At the Shanghai Auto Show in April, the “Huawei inside” cooperation mode car will provide everyone with an autonomous driving experience in a densely populated urban area. Our team told me: they are the best and can It is much better than Tesla to achieve autonomous driving without intervention for 1,000 kilometers in the urban area.”

Let Cloud BU focus on developing cloud services

Recently, Huawei has intensively adjusted its cloud business, which has aroused heated discussions in the outside world. 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.

Regarding the changes in HUAWEI CLOUD, Xu Zhijun pointed out that the business model of HUAWEI CLOUD is an online business and a subscription business model. Therefore, Huawei Cloud has always been an independent BU operating end-to-end and relatively closed-loop.

Xu Zhijun said that when the cloud and computing BG was first established, he hoped that servers and storage could work together with Huawei Cloud. However, some problems were discovered during the coordination operation, which actually consumed the energy of the cloud team. “So now we return the server and storage, let the cloud BU concentrate on developing cloud services.”

“Strengthening the positioning of HUAWEI CLOUD BU is actually a measure of the company to strengthen its software investment.” Xu Zhijun emphasized, “Huawei CLOUD invests more in software and has its own industry rules. We hope that it will be more independent and develop more freely. To increase the proportion of software and services in Huawei’s total revenue.”

6G should be introduced to the market around 2030

Xu Zhijun proposed that 6G should be introduced to the market around 2030. “But what 6G is now, we don’t know yet.”

“The industry hopes that around 2030, like 4G and 5G, there is something to contribute to consumers and enterprises.” Xu Zhijun said that now we are mainly doing two aspects of work: First, work with the industry to work hard to define what 6G is. What? A 6G white paper may be released soon; second, do some basic research and research on cutting-edge technologies around the definition of 6G.

Xu Zhijun believes that if 6G application scenarios cannot be found, then 6G may not be needed. If 5G or 5.5G can help realize the scenarios and applications that can be imagined, then 6G is not needed.

Generally speaking, Xu Zhijun believes, “We are looking forward to 6G, but we don’t necessarily have 6G. But we still have to prepare, do research, and invest in the possible arrival of 6G.”

Recently, netizens were “confused and scratched” when entertainment director Kim Yong Ho said that Lee Jong Suk was dating the beauty “Itaewon Class” Kwon Nara. Even the male actor also gave his girlfriend a Ferrari super car as a gift. Entertainment director Kim Yong Ho is a reporter specializing in sharing news about celebrities on Youtube channel, and both management companies denied this source while the person did not speak directly. As a model, a Korean actor is 2 years younger than Lee Min Ho, but in terms of popularity, Lee Jong Suk is not inferior, especially in the Japanese and Chinese markets. Although he dropped his position in the top of the highest-paid actors in Korea last year due to his military service in March 2019, in previous years, Lee Jong Suk was always an actor with sand. -Series not only acting but also top commercials. Currently “Duck guy” Lee Jong Suk is considering re-appearing in a movie Decibel Take the subject of terrorism, follow a squad that handles sound-activated bombs. Not only that, the “sexless beauty” male god will almost certainly be present The Witch 2.

The next positions in ‘Top 8 actors with the highest number of followers on Instagram in Korea’ are:

Park Seo Joon is in 4th place with 17.7 million followers

5th place is Ji Chang Wook with 15.9 million followers.

Lee Dong Wook with 9.9 million followers ranked 8th in the Korean actor Instagram rankings.

This also means that Zhang Yiming can actually enter the 2021 Forbes list of the top 20 richest people in the world, with Tencent’s Ma Huateng, Nongfu Spring’s Zhong Suisuan and the Walton family of Wal-Mart in the United States.

In the 2021 Forbes Global Rich List, US$60 billion is undoubtedly the ticket to enter the TOP20

ByteDance, known for its short video application Douyin and Toutiao, a news aggregation platform, has continued to expand from its core advertising business to e-commerce, online travel, online education and other fields in recent years.

According to people familiar with the matter, this expansion strategy has allowed ByteDance to more than double its revenue in 2020 year-on-year to about 35 billion U.S. dollars, and its operating profit has increased to 7 billion U.S. dollars.

At the same time, because TikTok, the overseas version of TikTok, is facing censorship in the United States and India, Zhang Yiming put more energy on Bytedance’s just-started and fast-growing Chinese business, including games, education, and e-commerce.

There are also many media reports that with the growth of the business scale, the Bytedance Flag is bound to face greater competitive pressure. In this context, Bytedance has begun to consider pushing some of its businesses into the securities exchange market for public offerings. (ipo ).

In March of this year, ByteDance hired former Xiaomi executive Zhou Shouzi as its chief financial officer. In the eyes of the outside world, this “heritor” who helped Xiaomi’s listing will also play a vital role in the final listing of Bytedance.

In February 2021, ByteDance’s direct competitor Kuaishou landed on the Hong Kong stock market and raised US$5.4 billion, becoming the largest listed Internet company after Uber Technology. The competitor’s outstanding achievements have also allowed the capital market to constantly focus on the possible future IPOs of Bytedance.

On the other hand, Ma Rui, a partner of Synaptic Ventures, a venture capital firm, said that Zhang Yiming hopes to establish a long-term and lasting global enterprise, and short-term setbacks in the company’s business will not shake his determination.

According to data from the American research organization CB Insights, in addition to the current market rumored 250 billion US dollars, Bytedance was valued at 180 billion US dollars in the latest round of financing in December last year, compared with only 200 billion US dollars three years ago. Billion US dollars, which reflects the high growth of Bytedance’s valuation.

According to media reports, the valuation of Bytedance is still growing, which for Zhang Yiming undoubtedly represents a greater scale of wealth.

In terms of hard disks, the new version of Master Lu has improved the algorithm to adapt to SSD hard disks, especially high-performance hard disks in the PCIe era. There will be no point overflow at random.

Hard disk performance list: PCIe 4.0 butcher list

In terms of performance, PCIe 4.0 hard drives increased in Q1, and the read and write speeds of hard drives reached a terrifying value.In native support for Gen4 technology, Western Digital WD_Black SN850 won the first place in the hard disk performance list with its arrogant attitude of sequential read speed of 7000MB/s and sequential write speed of 5300MB/s.

The top 3 of the entire hard disk performance list are all hard disks that support PCIe 4.0.

However, it is worth mentioning that the fourth-ranked Samsung PM981 is not much lower in running points than the third-ranked GALAXY HOF Pro, and the gap between the two sides is less than 10,000 points.

In addition, Samsung also occupies half of the hard disk performance list, and the storage manufacturer is indeed well-deserved.

Ranking of hard drives as a proportion: top manufacturers share over 40% of the market

Compared to Samsung’s performance surpassing its rivals, the market performance is going to be a little bit down.Western Digital, Samsung, and Kingston, which accounted for the top 3 hard drive brands, stood firm.

Compared with mid-2020, Western Digital, Kingston, etc. have seen different levels of market share increase, and Samsung is the only brand among the top 3 manufacturers with a reduced market share.

The top 3 manufacturers accounted for 44.2% of the market share, and the living space of other manufacturers was further compressed.

The overall proportion of solid-state drives and mechanical hard drives has not changed much in the 2020 year-end report. Solid-state drives still account for more than 75% of the share, and the proportion of mechanical hard drives has been compressed to 24.15% again. With the price reduction of SATA solid-state drives, mechanical hard drives are eliminated The progress is accelerating again, but depending on the excellent storage capacity of mechanical hard drives, mechanical hard drives still have a place in the future in the short term.

“Huawei’s cooperative car has a much better experience than Tesla”

“6G should be introduced to the market around 2030”

……

From April 12th to 14th, the Huawei Analyst Conference was held in Shenzhen. Under heavy pressure, how will the future go? Rotating Chairman Xu Zhijun elaborated on the five key strategic measures in the future and responded to hot topics such as “sanctions”, “cloud business structure adjustment”, “car building”, and “6G”.

After being suppressed by three rounds of US bans, Huawei still survived. The 2020 financial report shows that Huawei has achieved both revenue and net profit growth. Xu Zhijun believes that “performance is in line with expectations.” However, the crisis has quietly emerged. Huawei’s 2020 revenue growth rate is the lowest in the past 10 years. Before this, Huawei has maintained a double-digit growth rate for 6 consecutive years.

Under the ban, Huawei’s mobile phone business has been most affected. Its shipments have fallen out of the top five in Q4 last year. The continuity of 5G base station chip supply has also been questioned. The ballast business will inevitably fall into a “deceleration” state.

Reducing chip dependence and increasing the proportion of software revenue has become the key to Huawei’s “survival”. It can be found that the current Hongmeng, cloud business, and automotive businesses that Huawei focuses on are all focused on the software layer, and ecological construction has become an important breakthrough point.

“The goal for this year is to survive, but we still have to strive to live a little bit better.” Xu Zhijun said frankly that he has no illusions about Huawei being removed from the entity list and will work and live on the entity list for a long time.

Increase software revenue and solve continuous supply chain problems

Facing the worries of the outside world, Xu Zhijun gave a “centring agent” at the analyst conference and proposed five key strategic measures for the future.

1. It is necessary to optimize the industrial mix and enhance the resilience of the industry, especially the enhancement of software capabilities, and strengthen the investment in the weakly related industries of advanced technology and the investment in the smart auto parts industry; 2. To promote the full play of the value of 5G, define 5.5G, and lead the continuous evolution of 5G; 3 .User-centered to create a seamless intelligent experience across the scene; 4. Reduce energy consumption through technological innovation and realize a low-carbon society; 5. Work hard to solve the problem of continuous supply.

Regarding optimizing industry mix and enhancing software capabilities. Xu Zhijun pointed out that he hopes to further use the improvement of software capabilities to reduce the demand for and dependence on chips, and at the same time enhance the competitiveness of products. At the end of November 2018, Huawei’s board of directors passed a decision to invest US$2 billion to improve the company’s software engineering capabilities. Now Huawei will continue to invest unswervingly to improve the entire Huawei’s software engineering capabilities within a five-year cycle. One step.

He said that the recent adjustments to the organization and cadres of the cloud and computing BG are because we believe that the core of the cloud is software, and we hope to strengthen the organization of the software and decouple it from the hardware. At the same time, increase investment and better face the future to achieve the growth of the software industry.

Xu Zhijun believes that it is necessary to continue to increase investment in the smart car parts industry, especially in autonomous driving software. “The goal is to realize driverless cars. Once realized, it will subvert almost all industries related to cars. This is also the most disruptive industrial change that can be seen in 10 years.”

In terms of 5G business, Xu Zhijun said that the most important thing is to increase the development of 5G To C, speed up the improvement of 5G To B solutions, and strengthen the large-scale commercialization of 5G To B. In terms of 5G To B, as of 2020, Huawei has participated in the practice of more than 3,000 innovative projects around the world, and signed more than 1,000 5G To B project contracts in more than 20 industries with operators and partners.

In terms of seamless experience in all scenarios, Xu Zhijun pointed out that based on HarmonyOS and HMS, Huawei will continue to enrich the two ecosystems of hardware and services together with developers and ecological partners. “It is expected that in 2021, 40+ mainstream brands and 100 million devices will become the new entrance to the HarmonyOS experience.”

More than $1 billion has been invested in the research and development of smart car parts

“Xiaomi has built cars, why doesn’t Huawei build cars?” Xu Zhijun said, this question has been asked many times, and some think that Huawei has the brand and technical capabilities and should build cars.

In fact, Huawei’s decision to “not build a car” was made carefully after years of discussion. Xu Zhijun said that Huawei began to conduct car-related research in 2012, when a car networking laboratory was established under the 2012 laboratory.

“But as research continues to move forward, the automotive industry is constantly changing, from a simple electric car to an autonomous car.” Xu Zhijun said that he had communicated with many high-level auto companies and found that the industry The industry needs Huawei’s ICT capabilities more than Huawei’s brand.

In 2018, Huawei’s management team met in Sanya and made a decision: it is clear that Huawei will not build cars and help car companies build good cars. “This decision has not changed so far.”

At present, Huawei chooses to use the “Huawei inside” approach to support car companies to build their sub-brands. “We have selected three car companies and launched three sub-brand cars, such as BAIC ARC FOX. A series of cars will be launched in the fourth quarter. We have also cooperated with Chongqing Changan and Guangzhou Automobile.”

“Investment in research and development of smart car parts this year exceeded 1 billion US dollars.” Xu Zhijun pointed out that smart car BU is an industry that Huawei has invested heavily in. It has its own sales, delivery, and other organizational capabilities. It is a function of the company in addition to consumer BG. The most complete BU.

Xu Zhijun believes that China now needs 30 million cars a year, and there will be more in the future. Even if it is only in the Chinese market, it is enough to get an average of 10,000 yuan in income from each car every year.

“At the Shanghai Auto Show in April, the “Huawei inside” cooperation mode car will provide everyone with an autonomous driving experience in a densely populated urban area. Our team told me: they are the best and can It is much better than Tesla to achieve autonomous driving without intervention for 1,000 kilometers in the urban area.”

Let Cloud BU focus on developing cloud services

Recently, Huawei has intensively adjusted its cloud business, which has aroused heated discussions in the outside world. 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.

Regarding the changes in HUAWEI CLOUD, Xu Zhijun pointed out that the business model of HUAWEI CLOUD is an online business and a subscription business model. Therefore, Huawei Cloud has always been an independent BU operating end-to-end and relatively closed-loop.

Xu Zhijun said that when the cloud and computing BG was first established, he hoped that servers and storage could work together with Huawei Cloud. However, some problems were discovered during the coordination operation, which actually consumed the energy of the cloud team. “So now we return the server and storage, let the cloud BU concentrate on developing cloud services.”

“Strengthening the positioning of HUAWEI CLOUD BU is actually a measure of the company to strengthen software investment.” Xu Zhijun emphasized, “Huawei CLOUD invests more in software and has its own industry rules. We hope that it will be more independent and develop with more freedom. To increase the proportion of software and services in Huawei’s total revenue.”

6G should be introduced to the market around 2030

Xu Zhijun proposed that 6G should be introduced to the market around 2030. “But what 6G is now, we don’t know yet.”

“The industry hopes that around 2030, like 4G and 5G, there is something to contribute to consumers and enterprises.” Xu Zhijun said that now we are mainly doing two aspects of work: First, work together with the industry to define what 6G is. What? A 6G white paper may be released soon; second, do some basic research and research on cutting-edge technologies around the definition of 6G.

Xu Zhijun believes that if 6G application scenarios cannot be found, then 6G may not be needed. If 5G or 5.5G can help realize the scenarios and applications that can be imagined, then 6G is not needed.

Generally speaking, Xu Zhijun believes, “We are looking forward to 6G, but we don’t necessarily have 6G. But we still have to prepare, do research, and invest in the possible arrival of 6G.”

Clip: Mr. Nguyen Tuan Anh shared about a special case of participating in the election for the National Assembly deputies:

As a rule, full-time National Assembly deputies must meet many conditions and standards; including age. Eligibility for re-election must be at least 1/2 of the term of office (30 months) or more as of May 2021. To better understand this issue, we had an interview with Mr. Nguyen Tuan Anh, Deputy Representative of the Standing Committee of the 14th National Assembly Standing Committee.

Sir, in the next election for deputies to the 15th National Assembly, do experts consider some cases where experts will be re-elected?

Some special cases, when considered to be included in the electoral roll, there are 2 reasons. One is special in terms of age, the other is special on-demand, specialist standards. But even if you are an expert, you must follow the regulations set forth by the Politburo.

So far, how many special cases are we still unable to assemble, but can be understood as: These special cases are by the Ethnic Council and the Committees of the Standing Committee. The National Assembly recommends, recommends for consideration and will also be forwarded to the National Election Commission.

Mr. Nguyen Tuan Anh, Deputy Representative of the Standing Committee of the 14th National Assembly.

Are these cases being put on the list for voting, sir?

If possible, it will be put on the list, but with the condition that the comrades have submitted their application, they will face many difficulties if they have not yet submitted the application. The law requires that the application be submitted to the National Election Commission if it is a central delegate and to the Election Commission if it is a local delegate before March 14.

So any special cases must be introduced by the units, must follow the process, can not do wrong.

Sir, the thing that voters are most concerned about is the quality of the deputies. The quality of full-time delegates will greatly determine the quality of National Assembly deputies. The question is, is it because of the lack of full-time delegates, lowering the bar?

I immediately asserted: Not because of the structure, but to lower the standards and this was also affirmed by the Secretary of the Party Union, the Chairman of the National Assembly that it is not because of the lack of people but lowering the standards of delegates.

All full-time delegates must go through a carefully selected process, but it cannot be due to the lack of and disregard for the quality of the delegates.

For the introduction of deputies to the National Assembly, standards must be based on. For full-time National Assembly deputies, apart from the general standards, they must meet the requirements of National Assembly deputies, which have already been guided in writing by the Politburo and the Central Organizing Committee.

We have also concretized the writing of the National Election Commission already. The Standing Committee of the National Assembly also sent documents to localities, ministries, departments and agencies to guide the implementation.

So how much is the shortage of delegates at present, sir?

The actual quantity is now also synthesizing from the locality, from ministries, departments, and agencies and collecting dossiers. In terms of quantity, some agencies are still lacking. But the lack here is the lack of procedures.

For example, up to this point, the application must be submitted in full, but the application process still has to be supplemented. As for the number up to this moment, records have received enough.

Of the 40% full-time deputies including 138 representatives from central agencies and 67 members of the National Assembly dedicated to the local level. A total of 205 people.

Sir, there are some cases where is Deputy Director, position of Deputy Director, what is the standard?

As for the position of Deputy Director, if it is not full, the National Election Commission will certainly not approve and from now until the election day is still very long.

We also negotiated a third time and proceeded to collect voters’ opinions at the place of residence. If these candidates do not, then surely the voter residence will have an opinion.

After collecting opinions of the voters at their place of residence, those opinions will be sent to the provincial Fatherland Front, the province is gathered and brought to the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front.

After the 3rd consultation is completed, the official list will be released.

Thank you very much!
