Growing industry Billion dollar business with environmental protection

Status: 23.06.2021 10:45 a.m.

Environmental protection is increasingly becoming an economic factor, especially in manufacturing. According to the Federal Statistical Office, sales are increasing and hundreds of thousands of jobs have been created in Germany. Environmental and climate protection are increasingly proving to be a lucrative business for industry and service providers. As the Federal Statistical Office announced, the industry achieved sales of 73.6 billion euros in 2019, 3.1 percent more than in the previous year.

Three quarters of this was achieved in the manufacturing sector, first and foremost in mechanical engineering (22.1 billion euros), followed by electrical equipment (6.5 billion euros) and the manufacture of cars, trucks and buses – and parts for them (5.8 billion euros) Euro).

The construction and maintenance of apparatus for air pollution control has grown particularly strongly. Here sales climbed by more than a third to 10.5 billion euros. These were mainly products for exhaust gas and exhaust air treatment, such as catalytic converters. In the area of ​​electromobility (limited to cars, trucks and buses), sales of 2.5 billion euros were reported in 2019, 24 percent more than a year earlier.

Over 300,000 employees

Energy-saving drive and control technology, the construction of onshore wind turbines, the thermal insulation of buildings, and the renovation and construction of sewer systems also ensured business worth billions.

The growing importance of environmental protection for the German economy is also leading to the creation of new jobs, so-called “green jobs”. The number of employees who contributed goods or services to the industry was 305,000 in 2019. Compared to the previous year, the number rose by almost 16,000. More than two thirds of the employees in the sector were employed in manufacturing companies

A friend contacted me the day before yesterday and asked if there were anyone in my hometown who needed to find a job. Their company recruited a lot of people and lamented how difficult it is for companies to recruit workers.

When I saw that the company was producing mobile phone parts, it was in Changsha, and it recruited a lot of people, I guessed it was Lens Technology. I clicked on the recruitment enlightenment she sent, and it turned out to be.

This article is not a recruitment advertisement of Lens Technology, so I also concealed the QR code. I just wrote an article.

Lens Technology is a well-known high-tech enterprise in the country. It mainly develops and produces touch screens and other protective panels for mobile phones and other digital products. It has tens of thousands of employees.

Such high-tech companies are caught in the dilemma of “difficulty in recruiting”. In fact, from the perspective of the packaged treatment provided by the company, the overall treatment is quite good. The total monthly salary is 5,000-7,000 yuan, and the comprehensive annual salary is 60,000-80,000 yuan. Insurance and housing fund, free accommodation, subsidies for meals, and welfare are also pretty good. It can be said that the current manufacturing companies are also full of sincerity.

I searched the recruitment salary of Changsha company’s white-collar workers on several recruitment websites, and found that compared with blue-collar workers, the salary of white-collar workers has no advantages or even disadvantages:

Searching for “clerk” in 58 same city has the following results:

The most popular “e-commerce” in Zhaolian Recruitment Search nowadays has the following results:

The most popular “e-commerce” searched by 51job has the following results:

I found that these so-called “white-collar” positions are mostly paid in the range of three to four thousand, four to five thousand, which is not higher than the salary also offered by Lansi Technology in Changsha, but Lansi Technology provides free accommodation and provides Meal supplements are 13 yuan/day, and companies that recruit young white-collar workers generally do not provide accommodation and meal supplements. In this way, Lens Technology’s comprehensive salary is obviously more advantageous.

In terms of entry thresholds, the recruitment of young white-collar positions is basically a junior college start, and Lansi Technology’s recruitment requirements are: no gender limit, meet the legal employment age (meaning that it must be middle-aged or older), have no physical disabilities, and have flexible hands and feet. Have basic literacy skills, and be able to do simple arithmetic. For this requirement, it is also specified that “Remote and poor areas outside the province can be appropriately relaxed). The recruitment requirements of Lens Technology can be simply understood as as long as they are not disabled or stupid, have complete hands and feet, and are able to engage in manual labor. Absolutely. It is said that the zero threshold is for the jobs of the lowest-level workers.

However, the current situation is that manufacturing companies like Lens Technology cannot recruit people, and there is fierce competition for small white-collar jobs with a monthly salary of three or four thousand. As the online paragraph put it: “It is impossible to hire migrant workers with a monthly salary of 3,000. You can only recruit college students.” Although this sentence is a joke, it is also an apt description of the current social situation.

My family recently bought two air conditioners. The air conditioner was given by a middle-aged couple. I asked them if they could make a net profit of 300 yuan per person a day. The man said “almost” without even thinking about it. According to the humble character of the Chinese, I think I must say it low. Even if 300 yuan a day, 4 days off in a month, 26 days off, the monthly salary is 7800 yuan, not to mention that they are a couple. The main task of the wife should be to “cheer” the husband. The husband may be the only person who really puts out the energy. The combination of two people has an income of about 16,000 yuan a month. This income can kill most of the small white-collar workers in Changsha City. As for this income, it is calculated on a 26-day basis, which is also a regular basis. Now 996 has almost become the standard for Internet companies, and small white-collar workers can only take 4 days a month.

You don’t need to doubt my estimate. This figure can only be small, not high. On June 18th, Liu Qiangdong, the founder of JD.com, wrote a letter to shareholders entitled “Keep Your Heart in Awe and Eternal Feelings” all over the Internet. The highlights are:

“In 2020, JD Logistics Group will spend an average of nearly 110,000 yuan on each front-line employee. Their income is enough to support a family’s livelihood. Not only in large cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, but also in the northeast and northwestern provinces. Many couriers can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month.”

Because of this passage, when many media reported this incident, the headline of the news was “Liu Qiangdong sent a letter to shareholders: Many JD couriers can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month in the Northeast.”

In addition to the delivery, the air conditioner installation also earns a lot. Each air conditioner has an overhead fee of 150 yuan, Jingdong subsidies installation fee of 60 yuan, a bracket 80 yuan, a pipeline extension of 100 yuan/meter, and my air conditioner pipeline is extended by 1.5 meters. Receive 150 yuan. I paid more than 700 yuan for the installation of two air conditioners, plus JD’s 120 yuan installation subsidy, it’s 880 yuan. After deducting material costs and company commissions, the money that fell into the hands of these two installers should be a lot. . The key is that the installation takes only one or two hours, so they can do at least 4 orders a day for such installation, and the income is considerable. Of course, this matter is hard and dangerous. But only in terms of remuneration, social remuneration for manual workers is still acceptable.

I think of talking to the masters when we were decorating our home. The daily salary of the woodworkers and masons is quite high, at least 500 yuan a day. Even the master who laid wooden floors in our house said that he was 12,000 yuan a month, one for the previous company. Only 10,000 yuan a month, he quit. I have always doubted this master’s words, because I think that compared to tile laying, laying wooden floors does not seem to require too high technology. If the salary is so high, wouldn’t a large number of people enter the industry?

Judging from the phenomenon of “Little white-collar workers with a monthly salary of 3,000 or 4,000 yuan walking all over the street, and the anchors who rewarded three or five yuan on the Internet,” it seems that young people are really unwilling to engage in manual labor. Therefore, the key reason for the difficulty in employment in my country’s manufacturing industry may not be the low wages of manufacturing companies, but the contempt of manual labor by young people.

Some people say that the reason for the difficulty in recruiting workers in manufacturing companies is that the high incomes of express delivery, food delivery, and open Didi attract young people. There must be a reason for this, but the labor absorbed by these three types of jobs is limited, not to mention that these jobs are not easy to do. In April this year, there was a hot news on the whole network: the director of Beijing made 41 yuan for delivering food for 12 hours. In the documentary “I’m the Director of Practical Affairs for the Masses” broadcast by Beijing Satellite TV, the deputy director of the Labor Relations Department of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security experienced a day of life as a delivery worker. During the 12 hours of continuous work, Wang Lin, the director Send out 5 orders for takeaway, only made 41 yuan. Chief Wang, who was tired and slumped on the road, said with emotion: “It’s really not easy. I feel very wronged. I made so little money after running for so long today, which is so far from my goal of 100 yuan. Many.” It can be seen that these jobs are not easy to start.

Calculated on the basis of the actual number of births in the past years in my country, at least 15 million new laborers enter the labor market every year. A small number of highly educated people have entered the system and large companies. Those with average academic qualifications have entered the labor market. Express delivery, food delivery, real estate intermediary and other industries, but the above destinations must only account for a small part of the newly-increased employment population, so where do most people go? How much does it flow into the manufacturing industry?

I think the current social climate is to depreciate physical labor and get something for nothing, make young people very impetuous, and gradually disintegrate people’s belief in “working hard to get rich.” It is not so much that express delivery and food delivery have raised the income expectations of young people. It is better to say that Douyin and Kuaishou have abolished the belief that young people are hardworking and get rich. A large number of young people would rather idle away than enter the manufacturing industry. It is not because the manufacturing industry is too hard or the manufacturing industry does not make money, but because the whole society’s contempt for manufacturing and the impetuous atmosphere corrode young people.

A certain city in my hometown in Gansu is a place where quick internet celebrities can be found. In the past few years, when I went back to the village, I saw people using smartphones in the village watching live internet celebrities. In the past few years, there was an internet celebrity who didn’t have any talents, just take The boss dug cave dwellings in the mountains, and just that, he dug up millions of fans, digging for money, and became a local celebrity and monopoly. His success made everyone green with envy. Of course, this internet celebrity was later banned by the platform due to violations.

After this internet celebrity was banned, another internet celebrity in the same city got up. This internet celebrity didn’t have any talents. He just took a donkey and walked around the village every day. That’s it, he actually made nearly 15 million. Fans.

Every night, the villagers hold their mobile phones to watch these Internet celebrities connect PK, and calculate how much money each of them makes. In other words, these Internet celebrities can really make money, making money is the same as printing money, and the key is that they have no talent at all, and they are ordinary like everyone in the village. The cousin who opened the restaurant complained indignantly: “People don’t know how to make money for several years in one night. What’s the point of our exhausted life?”

The overnight richness created by the webcast stimulates every young person. Young people will think that the threshold for overnight richness is so low, why don’t I try? Look at the teams or individuals who are engaged in live broadcast on Douyin and Kuaishou. There are no talents who only rely on pretending to be foolish to ask for rewards. Ten years ago, these young people were all laborers in the manufacturing industry!

In fact, I am not opposed to grassroots live broadcasting to become rich. On the contrary, I think it is good for grassroots to get rich overnight. The key is that this ratio is too low. A small group of people at the top of the pyramid became rich overnight through live broadcasting. This demonstration effect has caused more and more young people to abandon their normal work and join the live broadcasting team. Most of the rewards earned by most people are estimated to be difficult even to eat. .

Therefore, the impetuous social atmosphere makes young people look down on work more and more. They want to make money easily by typing on the keyboard or facing the camera. However, at this stage, our social strength does not allow so many people to use this method. Survive!

A large number of young people do not work, which is not only the tragedy of the times, but also the tragedy of the young people themselves. The state must do a good job in labor education and related guidance.

With the development of society and the improvement of people’s income levels, children from the low-income class, especially those from rural families, have generally begun to receive education above junior high school. Some go to vocational high school and some go to higher vocational school. In higher vocational education, there is no good employment guidance and job connection. We just circle students in the school for three to five years. If the circle is enough to issue a graduation certificate, it will be over. The employment rate or something, just create some data. No one really cares about the employment of these young people.

The problem caused by this kind of extensive education is that the academic certificate has a high degree of education, but the technical skills and comprehensive ability are far behind. It is difficult to find a suitable position in the society and go to the factory. Go up the assembly line, and feel that the factory has a zero threshold for employment, and I have a college diploma in hand, and I have been succumbing to talent. Find a job for college students, it’s hard to find. Wandering around, forced by life, some even started some illegal or gray industries such as pyramid schemes and telecommunications fraud, causing many problems to the society.

Therefore, my country’s vocational education must be deeply reformed. The direction of the reform is what I proposed in (the article is divided into two parts, the second part is OK):

1. Cancel the policy of “1:1 for general job diversion” upon graduation from junior high school, and universalize general high school education in an all-round way. Let the children go to high school as much as possible, and use the high school diploma as the basic diploma for the young people in the future. Vocational high schools can keep a small part of it, so that children who don’t want to go to general high schools have the right to go to vocational high schools.

2. Implement 12 years of compulsory education, 6 years of elementary school + 3 years of junior high school + 3 years of high school, cancel the high school entrance examination, and implement nearby enrollment at all stages. Pay attention to the “nanny function” of education for minors, use school education to supervise each child to adulthood, and then use the college entrance examination for stratification when the child is 18 years old, and not stratify at a young age to reduce the pressure on children and parents. Let the children grow up calmly, and let the parents calmly give birth.

3. When graduating from high school, ordinary universities enroll about 50% of students for general undergraduate education; the other half of the students are free to participate in open vocational education. Let young people read while working, look for professional interests at work, and freely learn the vocational skills they need based on their professional interests. This will release tens of millions of laborers from vocational colleges, which will greatly ease the current recruitment difficulties.

4. Vocational education takes “open education + social schooling” as the basic top-level design, allowing technological enterprises to join in, and using market forces to promote the efficient development of vocational education. For example, high-tech companies such as Lens Technology can have the right to participate in vocational education. They can directly recruit students from junior and high school students, half-day work and half-day classes, exemption of tuition fees, and payment of wages. The state changes education funding to completion. Educational rewards per student. In this way, the company solved the labor problem, the bottom family solved the tuition problem, and the students had a place to practice. More importantly, the youths were educated through labor through real production, so that they could feel the gains through labor. The pleasure of remuneration, this sense of gain will make them less repulsive of manufacturing and manual labor.

I have a basis for saying this. My brother’s children went to public higher vocational colleges for three years. The so-called majors were of no use at all, and they didn’t do professional counterparts when they came out. Not to mention the poor teaching quality at school, there is no arranged internship unit, and basically there is no employment guidance. Children in the village are a little timid when they enter the big city. When they have low diplomas and stable jobs, they become even more timid. If this timidity cannot be eliminated, it will be difficult to follow the road in the future.

The situation of my little niece who went to a private vocational high school in the local area was a bit different. At first, I complained that my second elder brother didn’t find a public college, but in the first year, I was impressed. The school allocates the total internship time before graduation to each year. The internship time is three months each year. The internship is a formal large-scale manufacturing enterprise that the school has unified and unified. It will be in Suzhou at the end of 2019 and Shenzhen at the end of 2020. It is the Chinese New Year. Three months before and after. These children are brought to the factory by the school, including food and housing, and they can still earn about 4,000 yuan a month. Three months is a net income of 10,000 yuan. Basically, one year’s living expenses are earned.

Two days ago, I talked to my second brother on the phone. He said that his daughter didn’t have to pay for living this semester, and that she made enough money by herself. In my opinion, this is not a question of money, but a little girl from a northwest village. She stayed in Suzhou for three months and Shenzhen for three months. I don’t know which city I will go to this year. These few big cities Her work experience has allowed her to meet the world, which is very good for her own urbanization.

We have seen that some public vocational colleges are also undergoing reforms. However, under the current vocational education system that “takes vocational education as the reality of academic education”, it is difficult to reform and explore individual colleges and universities. What’s improving. The country has high hopes for the development of vocational education, but it is impossible to achieve results that meet expectations under the current system. It is hoped that relevant departments can make strides in reforms, and have some measures in line with the status quo to solve real problems in terms of cultivating youth labor skills and cultivating youth labor awareness.

Vocational education reform needs to combine reality and make a scientific layout. As long as you leaned down and surveyed companies and students, you would definitely be able to find a suitable method.

South Africa throws away 2 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine due to contamination incident. Photo: Reuters According to RT (Russia) news agency (Russia), the South African Health Products Administration (SAHPRA) has decided not to deploy vaccination for 2 million doses of Johnson & Johnson vaccine being stored at a facility in the city of Gqeberha. , as the raw materials for their production were affected by a contamination incident at the factory in Baltimore (USA). The decision comes after the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said that millions of doses of vaccine produced at Johnson & Johnson’s Emergent BioSolutions facility in the US city of Baltimore were not suitable for use in the United States. use. “Based on what has been announced by the FDA, batches of vaccines being stored in our Gqeberha have been affected. The batches of these vaccines correspond to about 2 million doses,” South Africa’s Acting Health Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane said on June 13. These doses of the vaccine have not and will not be used to immunize South Africans, she added. SAHPRA chief executive, Dr Boitumelo Semete, also confirmed the batch of vaccines “cannot be widely distributed.” Meanwhile, South Africa’s health watchdog said in a statement that a new batch of about 300,000 doses of Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine has been approved by the FDA and will be shipped to South Africa at a later date. some point. The agency did not disclose the exact date the shipments arrived. However, Mr. Semete acknowledged that the problem with Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine had a significant negative impact on South Africa’s vaccine deployment strategy. As of June 13, South Africa, the country hardest hit by the COVID-19 epidemic in Africa, has recorded about 1.7 million cases of COVID-19 and over 57,000 deaths. However, the country with a population of about 58.5 million people has only injected 183,000 doses of the vaccine to its people, as of June 9, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). South Africa is also one of the countries that is campaigning to give up patents for a COVID-19 vaccine to allow all countries to produce generic versions at low cost. “If we want to save lives and end the pandemic, we need to expand and diversify our production, put medical products into treatment, and fight and stop the pandemic for as many people as possible,” the president said. South Africa Cyril Ramaphosa speaks at a meeting with G7 countries in the UK on June 13.

Representatives of the Cambodian government and a Japanese company are considering the feasibility of establishing an investment partnership mechanism to develop a cannabis production and export project. Accordingly, cannabis will be grown in Cambodia for export to the US and Japan. Cambodia is studying the possibility of growing cannabis for export to the US and Japan. Photo: Khmer Times. Yamato Green said cannabis is considered a medicinal herb in the medical and pharmaceutical fields. The Japanese company affirmed that many businesses are very interested in the potential of investing in this field in Cambodia. Seedlings will be brought from the US to the Southeast Asian country for large-scale production if licensed by the Cambodian government. Yamato Green also added, currently Thailand and Korea have also licensed the production, processing and export of cannabis to the US and Japan on the basis of technical and technology contracts. “We believe that agriculture and food processing are essential to revitalizing Cambodia’s economy and creating hope for society,” the Japanese company said. Yamato Green claims to create an agricultural system “of the future”, to help develop Cambodia’s agriculture with higher productivity, and to promote its products to the world.

In April 2021, the Prime Minister issued a document assigning the Ministry of Science and Technology to assume the prime responsibility for, and coordinate with the Ministry of Industry and Trade in, soon finalizing and promulgating national technical regulations on gasoline, diesel fuel, and biofuel corresponding to emission standards at level 5. The Ministry of Industry and Trade is responsible for directing petrol and oil suppliers to have a plan to supply gasoline and diesel at level 5 to ensure that they meet demand for use and are in sync with the application roadmap. emission standards level 5. According to the Vietnam Register, with this regulation, the Euro 5 emission standard only applies to new cars when the vehicle type approval certificate is issued. The emission test method for new vehicles is carried out in a dedicated laboratory. Euro 5 emissions do not apply when periodically checking with cars in circulation. For cars in circulation, the emission standards are applied according to the rapid test method at the registration facilities according to the Prime Minister’s Decision No. 16 on the roadmap for applying emission standards of cars participating in traffic and automobiles. Imported used. This standard stipulates that cars with gasoline and diesel engines manufactured after 2008 will apply the level 2 emission standard from January 1, 2020. Thus, raising the automobile emission standard from level 4 (in 2017) to level 5 in January 2022, Vietnam becomes one of the top countries in ASEAN in terms of controlling emissions that have an impact on the environment. In addition, the improvement of automobile emission standards will reduce the cost of disaster recovery due to the greenhouse effect and the cost of medical examination and treatment for the community.

Automatic disinfection spray device was born to replace human power, invented by a research team at Sao Do University “In order to join hands with the whole country to quickly repel the Covid-19 epidemic effectively, the university’s research team came up with an idea and embarked on perfecting the product. In fact, it can be seen that the automatic disinfection system works very effectively, this is also the achievement of the university’s research team, we are still conducting further research and wish to replicate the model for localities. disease is taking place, reducing human strength” – Dr. Do Van Dinh shared. “This is one of the typical research projects of the university, contributing to quickly repelling the Covid-19 epidemic during this complicated period,” said Dr. Dinh. Immediately after completion, the school cooperated with Hai Duong Provincial Department of Health to install the above 3 systems at 3 provincial quarantine checkpoints (post A) including: In Hoang Tien ward (on Highway 18, adjacent to Dong Trieu town, Quang Ninh); at the beginning of Pha Lai bridge (on National Highway 18, adjacent to Que Vo district, Bac Ninh); and stop at the intersection of Hanoi – Hai Phong highway (the section through Gia Loc toll station). The total cost after completing the installation of the automatic disinfection system is nearly 200 million VND. The device is simple to install, works effectively with traffic through As noted by the reporter, the automatic disinfection sprayer system is designed with 2 devices located on both sides of the lane. On the two devices with sensors attached, the sprayer is suitable for the height of the cars. Each unit has a high-pressure pump motor used to pump disinfectant solution from the fuel tank to the injectors. When a motor vehicle passes by, sensors will recognize the vehicle height to control the pump and pressure valve. Along with that, the nozzles will spray a mist-like solution suitable for the height of the vehicle, including the tank truck; container truck… A representative of the Red Star University research team said that the advantage is that the automatic disinfection sprayer system can operate 24/24 hours, even in sunny or rainy weather conditions. The solution is evenly distributed over the surface of the motor vehicle to save manpower, the solution is faster and more efficient than the manual method as before. Moreover, when passing by, cars do not have to stop but still roll slowly at a speed of 5 km/h, without causing traffic jams. The device not only ensures disinfection spray to prevent epidemics but also ensures traffic and does not cause congestion The nozzles will spray a mist solution suitable for the height of the vehicles Before that, at the beginning of 2021, lecturers of the Faculty of Food and Chemistry of Red Star University researched and continued to produce over 6,000 liters of dry hand sanitizer (Nano silver) to promptly supply to staff, lecturers and suppliers. granted free of charge to agencies and units in the area of ​​Chi Linh city; The faculty of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering successfully manufactured a full-body disinfection chamber with a small, compact design that is convenient to move, operating under an automatic mechanism; research and manufacture 10 automatic hand sanitizer machines equipped in working houses, dormitories, lecture halls and experimental practice centers. In particular, before the complicated development of the Covid-19 epidemic in Chi Linh City and Hai Duong province, to prevent and reduce the risk of infection, to ensure the health of the medical team. With the spirit of initiative, creativity, and speed after 32 hours of work, the school’s staff and lecturers successfully built a robot to transport necessities, donated it to field hospitals, and isolated areas. concentrated in Hai Duong province, contributing to reducing the workload for medical staff and service people.

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

Postef’s fiber optic production project is an example of many high-tech projects supported by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. High return on investment August 2019, Postal Equipment Joint Stock Company (Postef) inaugurated an optical fiber factory with a capacity of 3.2 million km of optical fibers per year, marking a big step for domestic telecommunications technology enterprises to actively source raw materials, making Vietnam the first country in the world. Southeast Asia can produce this material. With a high degree of automation and precision, this is the first factory of Postef to apply smart production model Smart workshop. Data of fiber optic production stages is continuously updated to the server, and automatically transmits processing signals to equipment and machines. Perhaps, few people know that, since 2014, Mr. Tran Hai Van, director of Postef, has quietly cherished the idea of ​​​​building a factory. fiber optic production . At that time, Vietnam had dozens of units producing optical cables for optical communication networks, but all optical fibers for optical cable production had to be imported from abroad. Going into deep learning, Mr. Van became more confident knowing that the signal transmission system on optical fibers has been developing strongly in the world. In 2014, the world used 172 million km, it is forecasted that by 2020 it will continue to increase sharply to 234 million km. In Vietnam, fiber optic cables are formed at a galloping speed, especially international connection sea cables and transnational backbone routes. Problem after problem When “handing over” this idea to research and development associates, many problems arise. The economic problem is nothing to discuss, the investment efficiency is quite clear. But when it comes to technology, one problem follows another throughout the project construction process. First, it is necessary to clarify the technical characteristics, features – the main quality of the product is optical fiber according to the international standard G562, because in the Vietnamese market, optical fibers are mainly imported from manufacturers. famous as Sumitomo, Corning, Fujikawa, Furakawa. The second problem is the choice of spinning method. The horizontal pulling method has the advantage of being safe and convenient in the process of installing the workpiece, but the efficiency is not high due to the low pulling speed, up to 500 m/min. The vertical pulling method is more efficient, due to the 4-fold pulling speed, from 2,000 m/min, but requires a large tower height, 25 m or more. Final, Postef choosing vertical spinning technology due to its higher performance, better quality of spinning yarn and the world’s major yarn manufacturers such as Sumitomo, Fujikura… all use vertical spinning tower technology, therefore capable of receiving technology transfer from yarn manufacturers. In addition, there are dozens of problems on product selection and quality; product consumption plan; form and scale of investment; form of project management … in which, the problem of capital is the most difficult. Postef chooses vertical spinning technology due to its higher performance and better yarn quality. The problem is not that Postef can’t raise capital, but the regulation. The estimated capital of the project was more than 287.1 billion dong, excluding technology transfer costs, which was larger than the equity at that time (276 billion dong), so Postef had to come up with a plan to increase bond issuance. fixed capital is larger than project capital. During the implementation process, Postef also had to accept to transfer the entire investment project to build a multi-functional complex at 63 Nguyen Huy Tuong, Hanoi to another investor to focus on the fiber optic project. That said, in order for the fiber optic project to be successful, Postef had to struggle between many problems. Support two important stages khâu The most difficult thing in setting up a project is choosing equipment, technology and arranging capital with partners, which Postef overcame. Thoughts can easily “hug” the application to be listed on the list of high-tech prioritized for development investment under Decision 66 of the Prime Minister. But this is the first time creating a project of this type, so the file is not valid and has been returned. When “knocking” the Department of Science and Technology, Ministry of Industry and Trade, considered that the project really deserved preferential treatment under Decision 66, but it took the staff of the Department many months with Postef to complete it. standard set of documents as prescribed. Along with that, the Department also approved a budget of nearly 7 billion VND from the Ministry’s budget for science and technology activities for research to help Postef master the technological process of optical fiber manufacturing and the measurement technology process. Check and check product quality criteria. Especially, the factory was built to meet international clean standards level 6, designed and constructed by TAIKISHA Company (Japan) in the form of EPC turnkey. This is also the first factory of POSTEF to apply smart production model, smart factory and achieve the goal of smart factory by 2020. To date, the goals of a high-tech project on the economy and society of Postef have been achieved. But more importantly, the company’s fiber optic project added an extra hour, building confidence in its commitment to investing in smart manufacturing technology. High technology has 4 fields: Information and communication; new material; biotechnology; Smart production. These are very new fields in our country, while the Law on Bidding puts the standard of “capacity and experience” of enterprises participating in the bidding first, leading to a vicious circle of “chicken and egg”. Because it is the first production in Vietnam, “capacity” is not equal to foreign high-tech enterprises; Because they are not allowed to participate in the bidding, they do not have “experience” in bidding. With the risks when participating in the market as above, businesses are very hesitant in the process of setting up high-tech projects. On that pioneering path, there are many question marks when entering a new field, a new market that has not been clearly and clearly foreseen. Therefore, when there is the companionship of state agencies in project implementation, businesses feel warmer and more confident.

Illustration (Source: Chinadaily) South Korea’s Ministry of Science and Information Technology and Communications said on June 1 that many cloud data center operators have cooperated with companies specializing in chips used in Korean servers to meet the respond to the increase in demand for semiconductor products and respond to uncertainties in the global supply chain. The ministry said five data center companies, Naver Cloud, Douzone Bizon, Kakao Enterprise, NHN and KT, along with the Artificial Intelligence Industry Cluster Agency, signed a memorandum of understanding with Korean server chip companies SK Telecom, Rebellions, FuriosaAI, and Korea Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute to expand the use of products Semiconductor domestically produced artificial intelligence (AI) in data centers. Demand for AI semiconductor products from data center operators has been increasing in recent times. These companies need chips to process large volumes of data efficiently. Ministry of Science and Technology Information – Korean media predicts that the global server AI chip market will grow from $3.5 billion in 2020 to $34.7 billion in 2030. Under the aforementioned agreement, the companies will also cooperate on chip development, as well as pursue plans to establish a semiconductor test environment at an AI industry complex in Gwangju, 329 kilometers south of Seoul. The ministry said it would support the cooperation plan of the company and hope that this agreement will boost the semiconductor industry of Korea in the context of a recent global supply shortage.

Specifically, Germany will provide $9.72 billion (€8 billion) for 62 projects it has selected to reduce emissions in the transportation, steel and chemical sectors. According to Economy Minister Peter Altmaier, Germany wants to be a global leader in hydrogen technology, noting that the just announced investment is a step towards making the German economy neutral. with carbon. Mr. Altmaier said that, through the use of hydrogen, Germany could annually cut several million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the steel and chemical industries. Germany has ambitions to lead the world in green hydrogen production. Photo: DW. Transport Minister Andreas Scheuer added: “We are making Germany a hydrogen country. A total of 95% of road traffic still depends on fossil fuels, so Germany needs transport based on renewable energy… We have to push and want to accelerate the transition to mobility. climate-friendly transition”. The German Energy Ministry will oversee 50 of these 62 projects, including plans for more than 2 gigawatts (GW) of electrolytic capacity to produce green hydrogen. This is 40% of the 5 GW target in Germany’s national hydrogen strategy by 2030. The Ministry of Transport will finance the remaining 12 projects in the transport sector. These activities will include the development and production of fuel cell systems and vehicles, including cars, trucks and buses… Hydrogen has gained a lot of momentum in recent years. It is appearing in almost every major oil company strategy and can be seen in many government plans for industrial decarbonisation. Governments, international organizations and oil and gas companies say that blue hydrogen (hydrogen plus carbon is collected and stored) and blue hydrogen (hydrogen produced by electrolysis of water using electricity from energy) solar or wind) could be the key to helping industries decarbonize waste in the energy transition.

Damien Desrocher, 28 years old from the town of Wahagnies, Northern France has a very unique and successful startup method. It is the production of soap bars from snail mucus. Desrocher started using snail mucus to make soap and sell it at the market in the town of Wahagnies, Northern France from December 2020 and received unexpected success. In order to collect a lot of snail mucus, the 28-year-old man had to think of many and extremely ingenious ways not to harm or kill any snails. Damien Desrocher shared: “I only use my fingers to touch the snails, it’s very light and doesn’t hurt them. It looks very simple, all the process depends on your ingenuity.” “Once you observe and see the behavior of snails, you will find they are really adorable. Snails are one of my favorite animals,” says Desrocher. On the feet of snails there is a type of gland that can secrete a very sticky fluid to help them move. Therefore, every place they crawl through leaves a sticky residue. After this sticky fluid dried, a sparkling watery streak was formed. This snail fluid is used to remove wrinkles and acne scars, which is loved by many women because it is really effective. One snail will produce about 2 grams of slime, while to make 15 100-gram Damien Desrocher bars of soap requires about 80 grams of snail mucus. Thus, with only 40 snails, Damien Desrocher was able to produce 15 bars of soap weighing 100 grams. Although novel in the West, snail mucus is a familiar beauty ingredient in Korea because of its anti-aging and skin-restoring properties – including collagen and elastin molecules – in it. The snail itself also uses the slime it secretes to repair the shell when damaged. Currently, Mr. Desrocher has a total of 60,000 snails. When entering the breeding season, most snails will be moved to a larger location to live, in the yard of only about 4,000 snails. With excellent nourishing ingredients, snail mucus helps to stimulate collagen and elastin formation, protect skin from free radicals, soothe skin, repair damaged tissues and restore hydration. It is also added to treat dry skin, wrinkles and stretch marks, acne and rosacea, age spots, burns, scars, razor bumps and even flat warts. The application of snail mucus actually began in ancient Greece, where the father of medicine Hippocrates prescribed snail grinding and yogurt to cure inflammation.

Orders for the F-16 fighter version Block 70/72 will be completed at the factory in Greenville. Nearly 400 jobs will be created to support this production line, almost double the workforce employed at Lockheed Martin’s plant in Greenville. This will be the only surviving F-16 production line in the world. It was set up three years after Lockheed Martin discontinued the line in Fort Worth, Texas. Recently, representing five partner countries, the US Air Force signed a contract with Lockheed Martin worth $14 billion to build 128 F-16s by 2026. The first F-16s of this line will ship in 2022 and production will increase steadily in the following years. These aircraft will be delivered to Bahrain, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Taiwan territories. The F-16 Block 70/72 will be integrated with active electronically scanned array radar (AESA), advanced medium-range air-to-air missile (AMRAAM) with longer strike capability, and a suitable expanded fuel tank. with the fuselage. Even after 2026, the US is expected to receive more orders for the F-16 due to its reasonable price and versatility.

This is a system that can forecast rainfall and rain time, alarm over-threshold rainfall, extreme temperatures such as hot, cold, cold, harmful cold, hoarfrost… with a service range of 5-20km. “Since the application of a weather forecast system combined with an automatic irrigation system, irrigation work is more active, the quality of seedlings is high, bringing more economic efficiency. Revenue from garden economic production in the past 5 years has averaged 1.2 – 1.5 billion VND/year. And this is also the model garden that won a special prize in the contest of model residential areas and provincial gardens in 2017 “- Mr. Dinh Phuc Tien said. Many gardeners and orange farms in Ha Tinh province have made traceability by electronic stamps. Many agricultural products from gardeners and farms such as: Phuc Trach pomelo; oranges: Khe May, Thuong Loc, Son Mai; Huong Son deer velvet and OCOP products in Ha Tinh province have been stamped with QR codes for traceability. From there, goods are easily connected to e-commerce trading floors and are available at many supermarkets. The application of scientific and technical progress to production is one of the five criteria for model gardens under criterion 20 (model residential area, model garden). This is a breakthrough, creative way of Ha Tinh, creating attraction and spread of technology application in production development and construction of new rural areas. By the end of 2020, Ha Tinh has over 600 standard model residential areas and over 6,000 standard gardens. The software “Ha Tinh New Rural Digital Data” stores information about new rural areas in digital form, people can easily monitor and supervise the construction of new rural areas. Along with the application to production, Ha Tinh is also a leading locality in the application of digital technology in the management and administration of the construction of new rural areas. In 2019, the Provincial Rural Rural Development Coordinating Office put into application the software “Ha Tinh New Rural Digital Data”, with the goal of storing information about rural rural activities in a digital form, people can easily follow them. Monitor and supervise construction activities. Mr. Tran Huy Oanh – Chief of the Provincial Rural Rural Development Coordination Office said that the software “Ha Tinh New Rural Digital Data” has updated the results of the implementation of rural areas at all levels from the province to the district and commune; geographical coordinates marking, rural infrastructure such as: People’s Committee headquarters, village cultural house, relic area, model garden… Through which can share experiences, good practices to the community extensively. In addition, Ha Tinh NTM Coordination Office has also digitized the reporting system, including QR codes to reduce the cost of printing paper reports. “Take shortcuts, get ahead” of digital transformation in NTM construction Provincial NTM Coordination Office is coordinating with KYC Solution Joint Stock Company to build a plan for digital transformation of NTMs in Ha Tinh. With the goal of building new rural areas increasingly in-depth, effective, practical and meeting the requirements of the Government’s national digital transformation, recently, Ha Tinh New Rural Coordination Office coordinated with a number of units on technology solutions to deploy digital transformation software, build smart residential areas and smart rural communities. Mr. Nguyen Khanh Toan, CEO of KYC Solution Joint Stock Company, said that the utility of digital transformation in smart NTMs will be piloted in Ha Tinh province, affecting many areas such as direct management. state public service level 3, level 4; strengthening the empowerment and participation of citizens in public management; impact on production technology (environmental sensors, automatic monitoring, high-tech agriculture, automatic irrigation control); impact on services (telemedicine services, online education and training, e-commerce)… According to the plan, in June 2021, Ha Tinh will pilot building 10 models of smart rural residential areas; initiate and build 2 smart new rural commune models; building 3 models of intelligent monitoring in a number of villages and communes in the province.

TSMC will increase semiconductor chips for cars by 60% this year To do this, TSMC has to reallocate semiconductor chip production capacity to other industries that are also experiencing “stressfully high demand due to the acceleration of digital transformation”. The Taiwanese semiconductor chip maker said: “With fixed short-term capacity, TSMC has been trying to increase production in 2021 for microcontrollers (MCUs), one of the key components in the products sold in China. leading cars by 60% compared to the level in 2020”. This represents a 30% increase from pre-pandemic levels in 2019. TSMC will also continue to work with the automotive supply chain to address the current shortage. Modernizing supply chain management and increasing demand forecasting will be the way to avoid such shortages in the future, TSMC added. The global semiconductor chip shortage, which began last year, has forced some auto production lines to close and is also affecting consumer electronics. TSMC has repeatedly said it is doing its best to address shortages and ramp up production. US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said on May 20 that she had held meetings with 30 senior industry leaders about the semiconductor chip shortage and said the US could help. increase transparency in the market. This meeting was attended by major automakers such as General Motors, Ford Motor, Stellantis NV, semiconductor chip suppliers and other semiconductor companies. Phan Van Hoa (according to Reuters)

“I’m really surprised! VinSmart has entered the top 3 brands in Vietnam, and the top 20 in Asia by the end of 2020. They still have many opportunities in the near future when 5G networks are more popular in Asian countries. Asia, Africa, with cheaper usage,” said Neil Mawston, global head of telecommunications at research firm Strategy Analytics. Zing . VinSmart’s smartphone production may be hampered by a global chip shortage. When asked if a reason for the decision could be found, Mr. Mawston suggested that the global chip crisis could be a factor. Not just a single name, this crisis is making many smartphone manufacturers difficult. Many firms face difficulties in the global crisis hoảng “In terms of sales volume, VinSmart is still a small smartphone company in terms of scale. I think small firms are suffering the most because of the chip shortage crisis,” said Anshel Sag, an analyst at the company. Moor Insights & Strategy shared with Zing. The crisis of the semiconductor industry began with the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic. At that time, manufacturers thought that user demand would also decrease. However, the truth is the opposite. Due to long-term stay at home, people buy more technology. They buy more powerful computers, bigger screens to work from home. Children can buy new laptops to study at home. TVs, game consoles, and home appliances all increased sales. Chip companies like TSMC are working at more than 100% capacity to reduce the impact of the chip industry crisis. Photo: Reuters. The pandemic has turned into a month-long shopping festival. Therefore, the demand for chips also increased sharply. In the world, there are only a few outsourcing companies possessing modern technology to provide chips for smartphones. When every industry wants to increase production, the supply cannot meet. “Small firms are at a disadvantage because their scale is not large enough, leading to very thin profit margins. In the smartphone industry, scale is very important. It takes a lot of smartphones to be able to negotiate flexible prices. good conditions,” said Mr. Sag when asked about the difficulties of small smartphone manufacturers. In the first quarter financial report published at the end of April, Apple CEO Tim Cook also warned about chip shortages. The head of Apple said that it was not the demand that fell, but the lack of chip supply was the company’s biggest concern in the second quarter. Apple CEO also acknowledged that the company may face difficulties in the near future because of chip shortages. Photo: Cnet. “We think there will be a problem with supply. The chip shortage will mainly affect iPads and Macs. We also control our demand fairly well, but cannot comment on demand from vendors. different,” the Apple CEO told investors. Haven’t found a solution yet Currently, the smartphone market is only a game of a few big companies. One-time names like Sony accepted to downsize, selling only 400,000 units in the first quarter as they tried to keep the Xperia brand for a while. The chip crisis will make it even more difficult for small-scale smartphone companies in the near future. VinSmart has entered the top 3 brands in Vietnam, and the top 20 in Asia by the end of 2020. They also have many opportunities in the near future when 5G networks are more popular in Asian and African countries, with fees. cheaper to use. – Neil Mawston, Global Head of Telecommunications at research firm Strategy Analytics “When producing on a small scale, these companies will be the first affected by the lack of supply, increasing prices. It should also be remembered that suppliers still prioritize serving large, most important customers. theirs,” commented Mr. Anshel Sag. According to Neil Mawston, in addition to the main processor, another component, the screen, also increased in price by about 15%. This is also a consequence of the chip crisis, because every screen on a smartphone must have a control chip. “The pandemic, social distancing, and competition for supplies with other products such as tablets, laptops and electric vehicles have put the smartphone component supply chain in the most stressful state in years.” Mr. Neil Mawston shared. In a recent interview, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon said that the chip shortage could last until the end of 2021. Therefore, difficulties are still ahead for many companies producing technology products. Cars are the manufacturing sector hardest hit by chip shortages. Technology manufacturers may also be affected in the near future. Photo: Automotive News. When asked more about VinSmart, Mr. Neil Mawston said that he was surprised because Vsmart smartphones have a certain market share in the domestic market. This analyst believes that this is one of the big advantages to be able to expand into the regional market. “Every major smartphone maker uses the domestic market as a platform to go regional or global. Apple’s iPhone was successful in the US and then expanded to other countries. The story is similar to Huawei in China. Korea, and Samsung in Korea. VinSmart is also open to growth in Southeast Asia. Therefore, we find it difficult to understand when they decide to stop producing smartphones, especially when the opportunity for 5G is very close, “Mr. Mawston said.

Yangtze Memory Technologies Co (YMTC) factory in Wuhan, China. (Source: Nikkei Asian) Rise of the chip manufacturing business Once a month, senior executives from Yangtze Memory Technologies Co (YMTC) fly to Beijing for a series of meetings with China’s top economic regulators. They focused on the company’s efforts in developing some of the world’s most advanced computer memory chips. Headquartered in downtown Wuhan, YMTC is considered a pioneer in efforts to create the domestic semiconductor industry. YMTC has mass-produced state-of-the-art 64-layer and 128-layer NAND flash memory chips, which are used in almost every electronic device from smartphones to servers to cars. These things help YMTC compete with big players in the industry such as Micron Technology of the US or Samsung Electronics of Korea. Equipment used to make high-end computer chips is mostly imported in the US. Some chip design and manufacturing processes such as etching, ion implantation, electrochemical deposition, design software… are all in the hands of American companies. To manufacture without using American technology is a big challenge for a new company that has been operating since 2016 like YMTC and also represents China’s great ambition in the field of semiconductor industry development. especially after the economic sanctions that the US imposed on China. However, the dizzying rise of YMTC has shown China’s strength in the chip industry. The business started in 2016 and within four years has mass-produced some of the most advanced 3D NAND flash memory chips in the world. The Beijing government also recognizes the importance of developing the semiconductor industry and makes efforts to support these companies. “Competition for chips is increasing as all major economies, not just China, have realized the importance of chips,” said Roger Sheng, a chip analyst at consulting firm Gartner. Semiconductors”. Currently, YMTC, is still in the “target” of the US government. But under the guidance of the Beijing government, they have conducted a review of the supply chain, looking for local component suppliers, or non-US suppliers, to gradually eliminate the country’s dependence on technology. Based in the city of Wuhan, YMTC’s efforts did not stop even when the SARS-CoV-2 virus causing the Covid-19 pandemic wreaked havoc last spring. According to sources familiar with the matter, after Wuhan reopened in April 2021, YMTC mobilized hundreds of engineers stationed inside the production campus, working three shifts a day with the aim of overhauling all production processes and replace as many foreign imported components as possible. Efforts to localize production The effort to localize chip production is an opportunity for a new generation of Chinese chipmakers like YMTC. Chinese President Xi Jinping said in remarks published in January 2021: “We must strengthen self-innovation and make breakthroughs in some core technologies as soon as possible.” According to the Nikkei Asian , plans to end dependence on the US have long been carried out by China and massively invested by the state, but progress is still very slow. For example, the plan to self-produce semiconductors has a target of 70% by 2025. But of the total revenue in 2020, China’s semiconductor manufacturing enterprises account for only 5.9% of sales. domestic products, while foreign companies with headquarters in China account for the rest of sales in the country. According to the Magazine China Stocks , while the threat of sanctions from the US has always lingered, the source of state aid, with subsidies and investments from local governments and the private sector has amounted to at least 170 billion USD since Since 2014 has helped chip manufacturing enterprises to localize production efforts. In addition, orders from domestic technology giants such as Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo and Lenovo are also the reason their production is guaranteed. The US sanctions are a wake-up call for China’s semiconductor industry. (Source: Nikkei Asian) In fact, the trade war with the US and its sanctions against technology giant Huawei have given the Chinese government an opportunity to decouple from the world’s largest economy. – something they’ve always wanted. The US sanctions seem to have removed the main obstacle for domestic consumers, who always prefer to use chips from foreign suppliers. The manager of a chip maker in China told the site Nikkei Asian : “In the past, domestic chipmakers used only the manufacturing equipment that all the world’s leading chipmakers such as Samsung and Intel use in their production lines. Who wants to use and try new products without being sure of the quality of the production?” However, when sanctions from the US appeared, Chinese manufacturers considered alternatives, and domestically produced chip products were a reasonable choice. The manager emphasized: “It also means that domestic enterprises have really had the opportunity to test and upgrade their products – the goal that the whole country is aiming for.” Roger Sheng, a semiconductor analyst at Research Gartner, found that the US-China tensions confirmed the view that it was necessary to localize production. Now, the whole country agrees that building a semiconductor industry is possible and increasing self-reliance is a top priority. Unbreakable bond? Despite China’s considerable efforts, not many experts believe that the country’s chip sector will be completely separate from the US. The world’s two largest economies are still linked, dependent on each other and also two large semiconductor markets. According to a January report by the Brookings Institution, Chinese businesses account for at least 25% of the sales of most US chip businesses, and not everyone wants to break out of the market altogether. Chad Bown, an expert at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, said the US President Joe Biden’s approach to China was still unclear. On the one hand, the US expects China to buy more chips as promised in recent trade talks but also continues to restrict China’s use of US technologies. Since 2018 to date, a total of 162 Chinese entities have been sanctioned by the Trump Administration. In April 2021, the US Department of Commerce also added seven Chinese “supercomputer” entities to the economic blacklist, to restrict these businesses from using US technology. In reality, it is still difficult to completely decouple the supply of semiconductors, which involve thousands of suppliers from around the world and have been closely intertwined for decades. China may try to reduce its dependence on the United States, but without American sources of technology, it is unlikely to accelerate its technological progress. But Miin Wu, founder and president of Macronix International, a leading memory chip maker in Taiwan (China) that serves Apple, Sony and Nintendo, stressed: “In the short term, due to geopolitical uncertainties China’s technological development may be slowed down. However, in the long run, China will certainly hope to build a competitive semiconductor industry.” (according to Nikkei Asia)

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

Production of iPhone 12 at Foxconn’s factory in India fell by more than 50%. (Source: Reuters) Foxconn’s facility in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu specializes in manufacturing iPhones for India, the world’s second-largest smartphone market. Tamil Nadu is one of the hardest hit states in the second wave of Covid-19 that is sweeping across India. Authorities have imposed a complete blockade in the state since May 10, suspending public transport and closing shopping centers to prevent the number of infections from increasing. Reuters Citing two sources, more than 100 Foxconn employees in the state have tested positive for Covid-19 and the company has issued a ban on entering the Chennai factory until the end of May. A source stated that employees were only allowed to leave the factory but not enter since yesterday and only a small part of production is being maintained. Currently, the company has cut more than 50% of the factory’s capacity. However, the sources did not specify the capacity of the plant and did not say how many employees work at the facility. India has benefited from Apple moving some manufacturing from China to other markets. The company announced in March that it had begun assembling iPhone 12 in India. Although Apple’s market share is quite small in the mainly low-cost Indian market, Chief Executive Tim Cook said in January that its business in India doubled in the fourth quarter. 2020 year-over-year, thanks to the launch of an online store. According to market research firm Canalys, Apple’s growth momentum in India continued in the first quarter of 2021, with the business shipping more than one million iPhones. Demand for iPhone 12 is driven by domestic assembly and attractive financial incentives. Foxconn is not the only manufacturer in India affected by the raging Covid-19 epidemic. Nokia and Chinese smartphone maker Oppo last year also suspended production at their factories in the South Asian country after employees tested positive for Covid-19. Meanwhile, technology research firm TrendForce based in Taipei, Taiwan (China) on May 10 lowered its forecast for global smartphone output growth this year from 9.4% to 9.4%. 8.5%, citing that the outbreak in India is affecting major suppliers such as Samsung and Apple.

Today, chips are in everything from PlayStation 5s and toothbrushes to washing machines and alarm clocks, and chip shortages have led some to call the current crisis “chipageddon” — chip shortages computers globally. Glenn O’Donnell, vice president of research at consulting firm Forrester, believes chip shortages could last until 2023. “As demand will remain high and supply will remain constrained, we anticipate this shortfall to last through 2022 and into 2023,” he wrote on a blog. O’Donnell expects PC demand to “slightly drop” next year, but “not much.” “Combine that with the desire to digitize everything with the continued growth in cloud computing and crypto mining, and we see nothing but a short burst of chip demand,” O. ‘ said Donnell. Meanwhile, Patrick Armstrong, CEO of Plurimi Investment Managers, said last week that the chip shortage will last 18 months. “It’s not just cars. That’s the phone. It is the internet of things (IoT). There are more chip-based gadgets now than ever before. All of them are internet enabled.” The car industry has been affected by the global chip shortage more than any other sector. The world’s largest chipmaker, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) said earlier this month that it thinks its production will be able to catch up with auto demand by June. , Armstrong believed it was an ambitious plan. “Ford, BMW, Volkswagen all emphasized that there were capacity bottlenecks and they couldn’t get the chips needed to make the new cars,” O’Donell said. In a separate development, global research and consulting firm Gartner said last week that chip shortages will persist through 2021 and that the shortage affects all chip types and chip prices. growing. Gartner analyst Alan Priestley said the situation could improve for some sectors over the next six months, but there could be a “side effect” in 2022. In March, Intel announced plans to spend $20 billion on two new chip factories in Arizona. Intel also said it could build a factory in Europe if funding is arranged. “Those plans will take two or three years before we start to see that. But that’s really looking forward to meeting future demand,” said analyst Priestley. Wenzhe Zhao, director of global economics and strategy at Credit Suisse said in a note last week that recent chip shortages have encouraged inventory hoarding along the chip production chain, widening the gap. between expanding demand and stagnant supply. Mr. Zhao said that new semiconductor production capacity will not take place until 2022 or later, and the problem of solving the current shortage besides adjusting the order book, production schedule and price is very difficult.

Newspaper Vietnamese culture Introduce two types of combined sugarcane harvesters: large capacity combined sugarcane harvesters and mini sugarcane harvesters. Mini cane harvesters With a compact size, light weight makes the machine flexible. The knife can be stored deep into the soil layer 20-30mm, so it greatly limits the rate of damage to sugarcane. It can neatly collect sugarcane in a variety of natural states including spilled cane. The machine is equipped with an advanced hydraulic control system adapted to different terrains. Especially with mini machines, the low oil consumption can be below 0.15 liters per hour of operation. The machine is compact, portable, suitable for small and medium-sized sugarcane farms. Sugarcane harvesting machine THM 2.0 by engineer Le Quyet Tien. Interestingly, in 2013, engineer Le Quyet Tien from Nam Dinh and his colleagues invented the THM-2.0 mini-complex cane harvester which was put to trial and application under production conditions in Hiep Hoa. (Long An) and achieved the same productivity and quality standards as the imported machines before: The machine works in complex areas of sugar cane, and can harvest spilled sugarcane. Pure yield is high, can reach 0.21 ha / hour Standard cutting rate ≥ 80%, can cut close to the base without missing and do not crush the sugarcane, spread the trees evenly to the direction of the machine. The hydraulic devices of the machine work smoothly, stably, and operate easily and gently. Up to now, this type of machine is still preferred in small and medium sized sugarcane farms. Large capacity sugarcane harvesting machine The combined sugarcane harvesting machine is a machine with modern technology, fully equipped with hydraulic control system. They have the role of harvesting sugarcane on a large area of ​​land. The hydraulic system works continuously and completely automatically during the sugar cane harvest. Large capacity sugarcane harvesting machine. True to their name, the combined sugarcane harvester, many functions are integrated in the machine. From sugar cane cutting, transmission, peeling, topping, and cleaning are all included in this combined sugarcane harvesting machine. They are very suitable for use in areas with large sugarcane growing areas, where the topography of sugarcane is relatively flat. One more point, the machine can help you harvest any sugarcane you grow. This machine usually has a large capacity, massive design, and is suitable for medium and large scale sugarcane farms. The outstanding features of the combined sugarcane harvester Fast harvest, high yield Before, when there were no modern machines, people still had to use their own labor force. Labor productivity is not high. Moreover, with limited human strength, it is extremely difficult and difficult to harvest the large sugarcane fields. The sugarcane harvester helps the harvest productivity increase significantly. The capacity of the large capacity machine can reach 40 tons / h. This is 300 times more than a healthy worker. Economical and efficient A combined sugar cane harvesting machine works with 70 workers. Instead of hiring a lot of workers, the combined sugarcane harvester saves labor and increases labor efficiency. In addition, the combined sugarcane harvester can cut to the base of the sugarcane, the yield is estimated to increase by 2 tons / ha compared to manual labor. When the sugarcane is harvested by the combined machine, all the tops and leaves of the cane are chopped, crushed and left in the field. This is a huge amount of fertilizer for the next crop. Thanks to that, productivity is also much improved. Currently, in Vietnam, large-scale sugarcane growing farms use many modern and advanced combined sugarcane harvesters in the world. In particular, Brazil and India are the two countries with the most modern sugarcane harvesters available in Vietnam. Sugarcane harvester CASE A8000 Sugarcane harvester CASE A8000 – Brazil Made in Brazil Engine power: 358 horsepower. Design: Distance between rows:> 1.4m Fuel consumption: 1.6 – 2 liters / ton Harvesting capacity: 30-40 tons / hour The sugar cane harvester Shaktiman 3737 Shakatiman 3737-India Made in India Engine power: 173 horsepower. Fuel tank capacity: 208 liters Cylinder volume: 5.9 liters.

Previously, Japan’s top brands have, in turn, eliminated or reduced the scale of TV production, an area that is considered the spearhead of the electronics industry in this country. Now it is Panasonic’s turn to follow in the footsteps of its “seniors”. Accordingly, the company will continue to produce high-end TVs, but mainly to serve the Japanese market. In addition, the company will also consider consolidating or shrinking TV production locations at home and abroad. Previously, Panasonic used to be one of the major TV manufacturers with 10% of the global TV market share, but since low-cost competitors from China appeared, the company gradually lost its appeal. It is known that the TV business and production accounts for less than 10% of Panasonic’s total revenue. Besides TVs, Panasonic also sold its semiconductor business to Taiwan’s Nuvoton Technology as well as withdrew from manufacturing liquid crystal displays and solar cells. Currently, Panasonic owns 8 companies in Vietnam, including Panasonic System Networks Vietnam located in Thang Long Industrial Park, Dong Anh, Hanoi; factories producing refrigerators, washing machines, R&D centers, sales departments are all over the country, from Hanoi, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City, Can Tho … synthetic

‘Made in China’ world vision is based on international standards. (Source: Global Times) Sheet Global Times Recently published an article admitting weaknesses in China’s “Made in China” strategy to the world through analysis by author Dinh Cuong, Researcher at the Chongqing Financial Research Institute of Nhan Dan University. Chinese people. Weakness in standards According to the article, the Xinjiang Cotton event reveals a weakness of the “Made in China” strategy in looking to the world, which is the standard. The main reason for the Swiss-based Better Cotton Development Association (BCI) to be able to issue a “refusal to use Xinjiang cotton” with no evidence “, is that the standard is in hand. their. Standards are the fundamental rules of commerce, and standards and eligibility affect 80% of global trade. We live in an age when standards are dominant. According to statistics, there are more than 800,000 different standards worldwide, but only about 2% of which become the world standard. Due to historical factors, most of these international standards were established by developed countries such as the US and Europe. Holding standards equates to holding the right to lead the market and the right to formulate rules over the product otherwise, only behind others. There is a principle in the world that “third-tier firms sell products, second-tier firms sell technology and top-tier firms sell standards”. Chinese enterprises have suffered a lot of the suffering of “third-class enterprises”. Take cell phones as an example, as Chinese enterprises develop technical standards for 3G mobile phones autonomously, The Journal Washington Post (USA) has predicted that when China successfully develops its own 3G technical standards, it will no longer have to pay huge royalties to foreign companies. According to a report published by the German patent information analysis agency IPLytics, as of February 2021, the top 5 enterprises that claimed essential patents for global 5G standards were Huawei, Qualcomm, and ZTE. , Samsung Electronics and Nokia. Standards have become a beacon for Huawei to achieve a high position in the industry and expand its market and revenue share. It should be noted that China cannot overthrow or dismantle the existing system of standards to build another system of standards. In the future, what China needs to do is strengthen leadership and leadership in this system through the setting of new standards, and at the same time push the system to make adjustments and take advantage of the right to participate. decision and the right to speak. China still needs cooperation, this is also an issue that needs to be considered when conducting the “game” with the West in this regard. “Made in China” world vision is based on international standards. Since the implementation of reform and opening up, international standards have played a leading role in promoting and enhancing the development of “Made in China”. In the future, “Made in China” will continue to develop in this path, comprehensive upgrading, towards high quality. Among China’s current standards, some have taken the lead, which is the result of China’s relentless acceleration and expansion of industrialization. This is not only an expansion or upgrade of inherent international standards, but also implies the innovation of China itself. Many obstacles At the 39th General Assembly of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) held in Beijing in May 2016, China at that time had 189 proposals to become ISO international standards, especially in In the fields of high-speed rail, nuclear power, information and automobiles, China has made a leap from its lagging position to the leading position. The major problem is that although Chinese firms have rebuilt new standards in some key areas or advantageous areas, the application of these new standards still requires a lot of friction. more, longer to the international market. According to the survey on infrastructure construction projects contracted by Chinese enterprises overseas, it can be seen that it is very difficult for Chinese enterprises to create a breakthrough in the field of standards. Most of the infrastructure projects are the construction of bridges, reservoirs, power stations, roads and railways. During domestic development, Chinese enterprises have had many technological innovations, many of which have surpassed international standards. However, Chinese firms still encounter varying degrees of difficulty in applying Chinese standards to these overseas projects. China’s manufacturing industry needs to make more efforts to meet international standards. (Source: Caixin) In such troubles, the technical staff of Chinese enterprises can often only convince the supervisory department and the contracting party, and use the actual results to prove the feasibility of the company. Chinese technology and Chinese standards. In many cases, businesses are forced to revert to using the inherent international standards. The current international standard system has been in existence for a long time, China needs to have enough patience and a long-term world vision in the long term to rise in standards. Chinese standards face many tiers of obstacles. From the Xinjiang Cotton event, it can be seen that even if Chinese products are of good quality and up to standard, as long as the brand is still controlled by others, it will be beneficial to Western political forces. use. Judging from the 5G situation, the more China rises, the more difficult it becomes. During the XIII Five-Year Plan, China issued 285 national standards for smart manufacturing, leading the construction of 47 international standards, covering all production processes of enterprises. This sector has now become the focus of the game between China and the West. China’s manufacturing industry needs to work harder to meet the standards, but the question is whether Western countries can, or to some extent, adopt and follow the new standards set by China. National construction or not? In the US, recently there have been many voices calling for the manufacturing industry to return to the country, but the return of the entire production chain is not possible. This does not mean that the US will give up on the value chain it dominates. How to bring into full play the design and regulation capabilities of the state, make the correct choice between competition and cooperation, between openness and management, between protecting interests and transferring claims ask for an accurate long-term vision and calculation (According to Global Times)

The semiconductor shortage is due to the growing demand for technology products as consumers globally continue to work from home. This makes the need to own a computer essential for home work applications as well as the need for the latest game consoles (such as Sony’s PlayStation 5) and hardware. The semiconductor shortage not only disrupted production but even affected vehicle design and production, Peugeot announced it would stop installing the digital instrument cluster on the 308 instead. use analog clock. The decommissioning will affect both Land Rover and Jaguar models as the XE, XF and F-Type are all produced at the Castle Bromwich plant. Along with that, both the Land Rover Discovery Sport and the Range Rover Evoque currently produced at the Halewood factory will be discontinued. Land Rover’s Solihull plant will continue to produce normally, while its other factories in Slovakia, Brazil and China will continue unaffected. “Like the other manufacturers, we are currently experiencing some supply chain disruption of Covid-19. This includes the globally available supply, which is currently in effect,” said JLR spokesperson. our production schedule and our ability to meet global demand for some models We are working closely with the affected suppliers to solve problems and minimize effects on customer orders if possible “./.

Roadmap well prepared According to the registry centers in Ho Chi Minh City, the number of cars produced from 1999 to 2008 failed to register much. One of the reasons is due to the pre-existing registration roadmap, so people are aware of car maintenance and care during use. In addition, cars currently operating on the streets in Vietnam are not large and instead of using 10-20 years as before, car owners only use about 5-10 years to have the need to change new cars. . Mr. Tran Van Chu, branch director of the 5003V Registry Center, said that people had prepared and cared for cars in advance, so the fact that the car produced from 1999 to 2008 applies level 2 emission standards. it was too sudden for them to panic or worry. On a professional perspective, the director of another center shared that nowadays people also ride a lot of new cars, so the new emission standards are being met. According to this position, the good is not 100% of the cars are qualified, but with the current threshold, most cars do. In particular, the care and maintenance is one of the issues that greatly affects the emission standards. This director analyzed further, it is possible to compare emissions like using the stove for cooking, if you want to smoke out well, you must have a good source of ingredients. If wet firewood is used, the haze of the sky, likewise, poorly maintained engine and exhaust, not changing filters, or not cleaning the exhaust pipes will affect the exhaust gas. “As for a diesel engine, it doesn’t matter how to burn it, but being sprayed with black smoke is not good. Sometimes the exhaust or exhaust is clean, but the engine’s source (gasoline, oil) is not up to quality, ”- emphasized this taste. According to the Vietnam Registry Department, gasoline-powered vehicles from 1999 to 2008 accounted for 5.5% of the total number of sleds registered. Photo: THY NHUNG Tighten the emission test to protect the environment According to data provided by the Vietnam Registry Department, the number of vehicles produced from 1999 to 2008 failed to register too much. Specifically, from the beginning of 2021 to the end of April 19, for gasoline-powered vehicles, there were 13,121 sleds out of a total of 541,390 vehicles registered. Particularly, this type of vehicle has a production life from 1999 to 2008, accounting for 5.5% of the total number of registered sleds. As for diesel-powered vehicles, there are 36,278 sleds out of a total of 460,878 registered vehicles. Likewise, the number of cars produced between 1999 and 2008 also accounts for 12.7% of the total number of sleds registered. According to the Registry Department, the inspection of emissions in the automobile inspection started in 1999 in Vietnam. Currently, regulations on emission standards and emission measurement procedures for automobiles are regulated in Decision No. 16/2019 of the Prime Minister and National Standard TCVN 6438: 2018. . Accordingly, any vehicle may not meet the regulations on emissions in the technical safety inspection and environmental protection of motor vehicles in traffic if the vehicle is not inspected and maintained. regularly according to the manufacturer’s instructions and regulations. “The application of the new emission standard is part of the roadmap to raise the emission standards and tighten the inspection process for motor vehicles in Vietnam. Accordingly, this will contribute to reducing environmental pollution caused by transportation, contributing to creating a better living environment, protecting the environment, and protecting people’s health ”- Mr. Dang Tran Khanh , Deputy Head of Motor Vehicle Inspection Department, Vietnam Registry Department, said. According to Mr. Khanh, people should check and maintain their cars regularly, in accordance with the regulations and instructions of the manufacturer and before going to the inspection. In addition, it is also important to use a vehicle that conforms to its design specifications, without overloading the design load. From 2022, cars must meet 5 emissions standards Circular 06/2021 of the Ministry of Transport promulgating national technical regulations on level 5 emissions for new manufactured, assembled and imported cars takes effect from January 1, 2022. This Technical Specification specifies emission limits, tests and test methods, requirements for the management and organization of level 5 emissions checks in quality control, technical safety and protection. production and assembly automobile environment and new imported cars. Accordingly, the types of cars applied in this regulation include cars with at least four wheels, classified as low-standard-volume cars and high-standard-volume cars (explained in the circular. ). Tricycles with a self weight greater than 400 kg (considered cars according to TCVN 6211: 2003) are tested for exhaust gas according to QCVN 04: 2009 and QCVN 77: 2014. This Regulation does not apply to the following types of cars: Cars designed and manufactured to run on all types of terrain and roads that do not belong to the road traffic system; electric cars (cars that use electricity only as the driving force).

The shortage of chips is the biggest challenge that this business is facing, Griffiths said. Volkswagen logo at a dealership of this company in Hamm, Germany. (Photo: AFP / VNA) Seat’s Martorell factory, located on the outskirts of Barcelona, ​​only makes models that receive chips from suppliers, Griffiths said. Volkswagen expects chip supplies to remain tight in the coming months. Last month, Volkswagen Chief Executive Officer Herbert Diess said it was unable to produce 100,000 cars due to a shortage of chips and it would be difficult to make up for the shortage in 2021. According to Volkswagen, the shortage of chips is exacerbated by a snowstorm in Texas (USA), and major chip manufacturers based in the region have to stop production or reduce production. Therefore, this company cannot rule out the possibility of further adjustments to production activities.

In Ninh Thuan province, the Cyclic Energy Solution Company (CAS Company) is applying the model of goat farming and experimental planting of trees under panels at 3ha large solar farm. However, Mr. Tran Anh Dong, Director of CAS Company, said: “The company’s main revenue is from solar power, while the revenue from agricultural production is still low. Currently, the company is still struggling in finding high-yield crops suitable for the conditions to be planted under solar panels ”. According to Nguyen Quoc Khanh, the model of solar power combined with agriculture has great potential, both increasing the efficiency of land use and creating more income for farmers. However, at present, this model still has many limitations such as: Not meeting farm economic criteria, no support mechanism for solar power, lack of information on suitable crops, no technical guidance, lack of practical model … In order for this model to really promote its effectiveness, the State needs more mechanisms and policies to help businesses overcome the above problems.

Instead of riding his 1967 Corvette Sting Ray, US President Joe Biden took the time to take an online tour of the electric bus factory and the electric vehicle battery factory on April 20. . This is considered an important activity in his plan to boost production of electric vehicles in the future. Mr. Biden visited the electric bus factory online. (Photo: Hot Cars) From working in the White House, Mr. Biden had a live view of the production of electric buses at the Proterra factory in Greenville, South Carolina. President Biden is particularly interested in how the buses are assembled and tested and is impressed with the progress here. “Right now, we (the United States) are behind China and there is much more work to be done. But we will become the most important supplier of electric buses and electric cars in the world with different things,” General said the US governor Joe Biden. Mr. Biden’s factory visit is done online, but experts consider it a very serious move and is part of the Government’s plan to promote the production of public transport powered by green energy. America. According to Hot Cars page, the US President’s declaration of “join the game” means that America must surpass China, which currently dominates the electric bus market. According to Biden’s roadmap, all US-made buses will be “completely green” by 2030. Proterra also estimates that half of the buses will be electrified by 2025. Students in the US mainly use the bus to get to school. (Photo: Hot Cars) Spend $ 20 billion to exchange electric buses for schools The aforementioned American bus electrification roadmap is not without foundation. Earlier, in early April, Mr. Biden announced the Huge Infrastructure Bill with a financial plan worth more than $ 2 trillion. This budget proposal includes items with many different packages. Worth noting is the $ 174 billion electric vehicle development package. In which the Government allocated 20 billion dollars to convert at least 20% of school buses in the United States to electric power. The rest of the buses will have to be changed by the schools through tightened policies. At least $ 20 billion will be spent by the US on converting to electric buses by 2030. (Image: Hot Cars) Additionally, an additional $ 25 billion will be spent converting public transport from internal combustion engines to electric. At the same time the US will spend up to 100 billion dollars on the policy to reduce prices to pull customers to buy more electric cars. With strong determination from the electrification of public transport, Mr. Biden has demonstrated a commitment to cutting greenhouse gas emissions. This also brings health benefits for people, especially students who regularly use buses to go to school. And most of all, Mr. Biden wants to reaffirm America’s position in the production of electric cars, including electric buses. Outstanding and behind China is difficult to accept.

Acting Premier of Victoria, James Merlino. (Source: abc.net.au) On the morning of April 21, Mr. James Merlino, acting Premier of Victoria ( Australia ) announced that it would provide AUD 50 million (approximately US $ 38.6 million) to launch a project to develop vaccine production technology for mRNA at state vaccine research facilities. Under the project, it will take at least 12 months for Australia to be able to produce any vaccine under it mRNA technology . The move will pave the way for vaccines using mRNA technology such as Pfizer and Moderna to be produced in Australia, according to the Vietnam News Agency correspondent in Sydney. The Peter Doherty Institute of Infectious and Immunology will join Monash University, the University of Melbourne and a number of other research centers as the recipients of the funding to develop the above plan. Scientists at the Peter Doherty Institute say they are working on a “preventive” vaccine with mRNA technology that can be modified to fight variations. Mr. Merlino said that this plan is an important event, not only for Victoria but for the whole of Australia. Besides, he affirmed that the support budget will be increased when the project is developed in the future. Australia is currently only capable vaccine production of AstraZeneca with the initial plan that the CSL facility in the city of Melbourne will produce more than 50 million doses. Vaccination work COVID-19 Australia is facing many challenges due to the lack of vaccine supplies, as well as the safety of this vaccine related to the side effects of thrombosis.

Some companies did not participate in the Shanghai Auto Show this year, and some companies participated for the first time. Evergrande Motor, which participated in the Shanghai Auto Show for the first time, has attracted great attention with its 3,000 square meters of booth area, well-designed and cool booth, and the nine models on display.

As an emerging force in cross-border car manufacturing, Evergrande Motor unveiled nine models in Shanghai, demonstrating to the outside world top technologies such as intelligent networking and intelligent cockpits. On the afternoon of the auto show media day, hundreds of media went straight to the Evergrande Automobile Shanghai base in Songjiang to visit. Since the day Evergrande announced the building of the car, doubts have been heard. The large-scale and high-profile participation of Evergrande at the Shanghai Auto Show and the organization of the media to visit the Shanghai factory fully demonstrated Evergrande’s confidence and confidence in car manufacturing.

Evergrande Motors is not afraid to compete head-on with international brands

This year’s Shanghai Auto Show attracted more than 1,000 exhibitors, with a total exhibition area of ​​360,000 square meters, and opened 12 indoor exhibition halls in the National Convention and Exhibition Center, including 9 halls for passenger cars. In Hall 7.1 where Evergrande Motor is located, in addition to traditional luxury brands such as BMW and MINI, there are also new car-making forces such as Weilai, Xiaopeng, and Jihu, as well as traditional new energy car company BYD, and aspiring to empower cars. Huawei exhibition area. In the same exhibition hall and competing with many big brands on the same stage, Evergrande Auto is full of confidence.

Before LeTV built cars became a joke, after that, there were a lot of new car building forces vanished. Many people were not optimistic about Evergrande building cars. Xu Jiayin once stated that by 2025, annual production and sales of more than 1 million vehicles will be achieved, and by 2035, annual production and sales of more than 5 million vehicles will be achieved.

Tesla, with a history of more than ten years, is the world leader in electric vehicles. Tesla will only deliver 499,500 vehicles worldwide in 2020. Many people are also skeptical of Evergrande’s ambitious goals. However, seeing the 9 Hengchi brand electric vehicle models of Hengda Automobile at the Shanghai Auto Show, covering SUVs, cars and MPVs, the attitude of some skeptics began to change.

As many multinational automobile companies are optimistic about China’s new energy vehicle market, multinational automobile companies such as Audi, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volkswagen, Ford, General Motors, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, etc. have launched imported or domestically produced electric vehicle models in the Chinese market. The sales of domestic Tesla has surged, and the high-end of its own brand electric vehicles is also accelerating. The competition in China’s new energy vehicle market is fierce, and it is changing from a blue ocean to a red ocean.

Facing the fiercely competitive new energy vehicle market in China, Evergrande Motor has accelerated the pace of product launches. Liu Yongzhuo, President of Evergrande Automobile, said at the Hengchi press conference that in the fourth quarter of this year, Hengchi Automobile will fully start trial production and deliver on a large scale next year. It is a world leader in high specific energy, high safety, long life, and ultra-fast charging. The power battery products will also be mass-produced in the second half of this year.

It is understood that through the initial investment of more than 47 billion yuan, Evergrande has completely constructed all the closed loops of the new energy automobile industry chain. Liu Yongzhuo said at the press conference that Evergrande Motors has world-leading core technologies in the fields of chassis architecture, powertrain, batteries, engineering technology, intelligent networking, and autonomous driving. Evergrande Automobile also has a team of car-making experts composed of more than 3,200 scientific researchers from all over the world, including many of the core technical figures in the industry.

Seeking truth from facts, Evergrande’s strategy of using capital to help “change lanes and overtake” has indeed achieved certain results, laying the foundation for Hengchi to carry nine models of “hard steel” internationally renowned brands at the Shanghai Auto Show.

Parameter disclosure of nine major models, test drive shows Hengchi’s product strength

Mr. Dai Lei, who has just joined Evergrande as the executive vice president, made his official appearance at the auto show press conference and disclosed the parameters of nine Hengchi models. Dai Lei revealed that the maximum comprehensive endurance of all Hengchi models reaches 700km, and some models exceed 800km. Among them, the Hengchi flagship model Hengchi 1 is the world’s first pure electric D-class flagship sedan, with a length of 5320mm, a wheelbase of 3170mm, and a battery life of 760km, which is enough to rival the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Bentley and other ultra-luxury brands. The pure electric ultra-luxury B-class SUV Hengchi 9 has a length of 4810mm, a wheelbase of 2910mm, and a battery life of up to 810km.

After the auto show press conference, the staff of Evergrande Auto directly transferred the media to the Evergrande Auto Shanghai base in Songjiang, Shanghai for a media test drive and factory tour. The test drive was the Hengchi 5 model displayed at the press conference.

Hengchi 5 is the representative of Hengchi pure electric A-class SUV. According to Dai Lei, Hengchi 5 was built by the team of Shiro Nakamura, an international styling designer, with a total length of 4718mm, a wheelbase of 2780mm, and a comprehensive cruising range of up to 700km. In addition, Hengchi 5 is also equipped with AR Driving augmented reality driving assistance and a dual ecosystem of Tencent and Baidu.

Viewed from the outside, the Hengchi 5 cockpit uses a panoramic sunroof, and the original H-shaped headlights on the front face are very sharp. The neat body lines and 21-inch super-large wheels make the vehicle full of power.

From the interior point of view, Hengchi 5 uses suede-like interior luxury and exquisiteness. The control position adopts the world’s first super-large 3D curved surface surround type triple screen, which can realize the industry’s first six-mode human-computer interaction.

During the test drive, the dynamic response of Hengchi 5 is remarkable, the acceleration performance is very linear, and the experience is very good.

Dai Lei said at the press conference: Two months ago, Hengchi was still conducting the winter standard test, and now Hengchi 5 has a high degree of completion. He emphasized that these models on display have entered the stage of mass production and development and will be put into production at Hengchi’s plant soon.

Evergrande Smart Factory interprets the intelligent manufacturing aesthetics of car-making

Automobile manufacturing is a complex technology-intensive industry, and the reliability and advancement of technology are directly related to the success or failure of automobile manufacturing.

At present, Evergrande Motor has two production bases in Shanghai and Guangdong, both of which are constructed in accordance with Industry 4.0 standards. According to the requirements of digitization, intelligence, ecology and efficiency, it has assembled 2,545 intelligent robots and adopts the world’s most advanced equipment and technology to achieve The world’s most advanced intelligent manufacturing can achieve “1 vehicle per minute” after full production.

The stamping workshop adopts the German Stermann automatic high-speed stamping line, and the automatic boxing system is composed of Japanese FANUC robots to achieve full automation of production, boxing and transportation; the body workshop adopts German KUKA equipment and technology, with an automation rate of 100 %, to create the world’s most advanced high-end intelligent “black light factory”; the coating workshop adopts the German Dürr production line, pre-treatment electrophoresis flip-type conveying, dry paint mist separation, gluing and spraying 100% automation, and the whole process is intelligent and environmentally friendly. The assembly workshop uses the German Dürr assembly line, the world’s first virtual matching system, and is the world’s most automated automobile assembly line. It can be said that from rapid die change, stamping, to precise electric welding, riveting, gluing, to automatic spraying without dead ends, most of the processes in the whole process are independently completed by robots.

The Hengchi brand car will start trial production in the fourth quarter of this year and deliver in large quantities next year. To this end, the Shanghai base is making all-out efforts. Currently, NEVS93 components are temporarily used for training before trial production. In the future, the production of Hengchi series models will be carried out.

“Exchange capital for technology and technology for time”, Evergrande’s road to advancement in car manufacturing can be described as step by step and high-pitched. From the “six cars issued in one” in August last year, to the announcement of the car label and naming system, to the base trial production, to now “nine cars in the same frame”, with media test drives and factory tours, Evergrande Motors is gradually showing its performance. Confidence and confidence in building a car.

Huawei is a brand that produces smartphones worldwide famous. However, it seems that Huawei not only wants to stop at smartphone production, but also encroach on the automotive segment. Participating in the 2021 Shanghai Motor Show, the first Huawe electric car was officially unveiled. Called by its full name Seres Huawei Smart Selection SF5 2021, this car carries a crossover style. This is a model created by Huawei, along with partner Seres based in California, USA. In terms of size, Huawei SF5 has a length of 4,700 mm, width of 1,930 mm, a height of 1,625 mm and a wheelbase of 2,875 mm. With this size, the Huawei SF5 is listed in the midsize crossover segment, similar to the Hyundai SantaFe and the Kia Sorento. Outside, the SF5 has a design that is almost unchanged from the concept car of the same name that the Seres brand introduced in 2019. The car is equipped with slim headlights, clawed back. Meanwhile, the L-shaped daytime positioning LED strip embraces the headlight cluster. Right below is the front fog lamp with a boomerang-shaped design and embraces the 2 air slots on the front bumper. In the center position of the front of the car is the grille with a mesh of canopy. Similar to many new models today, the electric Huawei SF5 also comes with a door handle that sinks into the body and can be turned on when needed. Meanwhile, the car’s window glass is designed as soft wings. Next is the slope to the back and the alloy rim with a 5-spoke design, 2 color combinations. Behind, the first Huawei car comes with LED taillights connected by a strip of lights in the middle, the roof spoiler with integrated overhead brake lights and a fake wind diffuser under the rear bumper. Inside the Huawei SF5 is the interior space designed in a minimalist style, clearly shown through the dashboard. Here, we will see the air-conditioning vents stretching across the width of the dashboard, interrupted by the large touchscreen display as well as the digital instrument panel. This central screen connects to a HiCar system based on Huawei’s Harmony OS. With this system, users can connect their smartphones to the vehicle, synchronize and control smart devices through the touch screen. Below the infotainment screen there is no center console cluster, but a storage compartment with a cover. Meanwhile, the car’s gear knob is located right in front of the center armrest. Adding to that is the 11-speaker Huawei Sound sound system, which promises to bring a theater-like experience to the occupants of the car. This system works to prevent unwanted outside sounds from entering the car and combines with the double-layer soundproof glass as well as a damping system to provide a quiet interior for the Huawei SF5. The power supply for the Huawei SF5 is 1 electric motor or 2 electric motors, depending on the version.

“Digital Manufacturing Intelligent Transformation”

On April 22, the organizer held the IOTE·2021 Shanghai International Industrial Internet of Things Application Summit Forum with the theme of “Digital Manufacturing Intelligent Transformation”, and invited industry representatives including Sixiang Technology to participate in the discussion and share the industrial Internet of Things. Hot technologies and application cases in the field, while discussing the difficulties and countermeasures in the process of industrial IoT application deployment from multiple dimensions.

According to various data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in 2020, my country is an industrial country with the most complete industrial chain in the world, and the Industrial Internet of Things therefore has a huge market audience. However, in the face of the immense industrial Internet of Things wave, most companies still have doubts. On the one hand, they were inspired by the industry’s leading benchmark cases and planned to enter the game. On the other hand, they ran aground their plans due to factors such as insufficient willingness, weak foundation, insufficient funds, and unclear paths. Therefore, this summit aims to “combine the real pain points of industrial enterprises at this stage and vigorously promote the application of industrial Internet of Things in the industry”.

As the proponent and advocate of the concept of “Location Internet of Things”, Sixiang Technology was invited to participate in this summit. Vice President Wu Qian delivered a keynote speech on “Industrial Location Internet of Things, Helping’Smart Manufacturing’ to Reduce Costs and Increase Efficiency”, and A series of four-phase application cases in the field of intelligent manufacturing were shown to the guests.

Below, is the wonderful content sharing of this speech.

1. Overview of Location Internet of Things

   

   The so-called “location of Internet of Things” simply means “in the existing Internet of Things ecosystem, the acquisition and use of location information has been added.” Taking life scenarios as an example, “using the location information of people and cars to achieve scientific scheduling and management of online car-hailing” is the application of location-based Internet of Things technology.

   

   At this stage, the technology of location Internet of Things application mainly includes indoor positioning and outdoor positioning. Among them, after 20 to 30 years of development, outdoor positioning technology can achieve meter-level accuracy at this stage, while indoor positioning technology uses various wireless communication technologies to achieve decimeter-level positioning accuracy.

2. Application of Location Internet of Things

   

   At present, most manufacturing enterprises in my country are labor-intensive and suffer from low efficiency and high cost. An important entry point for enterprises to realize the transformation of intelligent manufacturing is to solve the problem of inefficient human, material and goods circulation. The use of positioning technology to obtain the real-time location of operators, tools, and goods, and to directly associate location data with business processes, to solve multiple problems faced by manufacturing companies from a technical perspective is that the location of Internet of Things helps manufacturing companies achieve intelligence. An important way to upgrade manufacturing and reduce costs and increase efficiency.

   

   Wu Qian said, “The Internet of Everything is an unstoppable development trend. The Internet of Things is a comprehensive technical product integrating new technologies such as big data, cloud computing, Internet of Things, 5G, and artificial intelligence. The biggest difficulty is not business logic and The discovery and invention of technology lies in the landing scene and application space of the technology. In the complex industrial production environment, the traditional low-precision positioning technology is not competent. The centimeter-level ultra-high-precision positioning technology owned by Sixiang Technology can reach an accuracy of 10cm. Not only can it easily adapt to more than 99% of the industrial production environment, but also has strong anti-interference ability.”

   

   Facing manufacturing customers with transformation needs, Sixiang uses a self-developed 3D editor to standardize 70% of commonly used models in industrial scenes, reduce modeling costs by more than 50%, and successfully realize the visualization of production scenes in the virtual digital space. At the same time, the algorithm engine abstracts the basic functions that solve the pain points of the manufacturing industry, forming standard algorithm modules such as automatic order dispatch, situation research and judgment, event warning, and personnel tool efficiency analysis, which successfully increased the efficiency of custom development by 90%. Combine these algorithm modules with the business process of the factory to realize the automation of scheduling, analysis, and decision-making, and create a customized location IoT platform for different industries.

   Using this program, Sixiang has successfully created a series of benchmark cases in the automobile manufacturing, textile printing and dyeing industry, electronic manufacturing industry and other industries, and has won unanimous praise from customers.

   

   Centimeter-level high-precision positioning helps multi-industry intelligent upgrade

   Of course, four-phase technology location IoT solutions are not limited to applications in the manufacturing sector. Relying on the self-developed UWB and Bluetooth multi-mode fusion high-precision positioning system, Four-Phase has expanded its application to three major sectors: industrial security, public security, judicial, and smart cities, helping different industries achieve digital and intelligent upgrades.

   At the same time, through the customer service strategy of “multi-location, multiple centers radiating to the periphery”, Sixiang successfully landed in the four major industrial clusters in the country from Chengdu to Chongqing to the Yangtze River Delta, and then to the Guangdong-Hong Kong Bay and West Coast Economic Zones.

   Up to now, Sixiang has developed more than 30 ecological partners, cooperated with more than 1,000 customers, and delivered and completed 1500+ typical cases of industry applications.

   Industrial Security: Use the location to improve the security system in high-risk scenarios

   Taking smart power as an example, Four-phase is designed with positioning technology as the core, and uses network systems and three-dimensional systems to comprehensively implement visual management, personnel positioning, vehicle positioning, hidden danger investigation, inspection management, and danger monitoring in industrial production. Integration and integration, to achieve cross-system data communication and linkage response, to achieve convenient management, intuitive data, system security, etc., and help heavy and high-risk industrial enterprises to improve the production control system.

   Department of Public Security, Public Prosecution and Law: Use location to boost the development of intelligent politics and law

   

   Application case of a case handling center of smart law enforcement

   Taking the case handling center as an example, Four Phases adopts industry-leading indoor positioning technology, audio and video processing technology, and efficient and reliable application system architecture to achieve unified management of the entire process of law enforcement case handling areas, unified video scheduling, and integrated business management applications (in-area registration, Personal safety inspections, temporary storage of belongings, information collection, inquiry management, and registration of items involved), comprehensively improve the standard management level of the case-handling area, fully realize efficient, standardized and standardized smart law enforcement, and increase the credibility of law enforcement.

   Smart City: Use location to empower advanced forms of urban informatization

   Taking smart elderly care as an example, Sixiang assists nursing homes to obtain real-time location information of the elderly based on high-precision positioning technology. In the case of limited medical staff, wearable smart positioning terminals are used to achieve all-round, all-weather safety and health management for the elderly, effectively reducing the pressure on medical care, helping the social pension system to be more complete, and alleviating the pressure on the elderly caused by the intensified aging of the population.

   In the future, in the face of the next innovation of the Internet of Things, Sixiang Technology will focus on the industry in the application scenarios for deep cultivation, so that location information can be further integrated with the business and bring value while solving user pain points. Faced with the ever-increasing waves of industry changes, Sixiang will also take a more proactive attitude to dig deeper into the pain points of the industry, continuously improve the existing technical solutions according to the needs of industry transformation, and use location information to empower industry upgrades!

With the upsurge of cross-border “car building” by major industry giants, the past of Wuliangye cross-border car building seems to have been forgotten by the industry. Three years ago, Wuliangye invested nearly 2.5 billion yuan to take a 51% stake in Kaiyi Automobile, and announced a 3.7 billion yuan investment in a smart car factory. However, from the perspective of market performance, the projects that have been heavily invested have not been recognized by consumers.

“We are selling Geely, not Kaiyi. These are two car companies and two brands.”

“Kaiyi hasn’t been bought for a long time. If you consider Xuanjie, you can take a look at the Tiggo 5X. The two cars are basically the same.”

On the 15th, AI Finance and Economics found two dealers in the Yangtze River Delta and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on the official website of Kaiyi Automobile, and asked whether they could buy the Kaiyi X3, and the other party responded as above.

Kaiyi Auto and Baoneng Auto have the same door, and both come from Chery Automobile, the former boss of independent brand auto companies. Under the drag of its diversified brand strategy, Chery has gradually fallen into the pit of losses for years. In 2017, Chery sold the Qoros car with a huge loss of 8 billion at a price of 6.5 billion. The following year, Yibin Capital, backed by Wuliangye, took over 51% of the equity of Kaiyi Auto with 2.494 billion yuan. When the trend of cross-border car building was getting stronger, it opened a prelude to the story of “drinking” and “driving”. However, the reality is not. It’s not as good as expected.

Planning for more than ten years, monthly sales of 600 units

Unlike Dong Mingzhu and Lei Jun, Wuliangye has been trying to build a car for a long time. In 2003, “Push”, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wuliangye that produced supporting molds, began to produce automobile molds for Changan Automobile and a Japanese car company. Two years later, Push invested another 300 million yuan in Chongqing to produce automobile machinery molds and engines. Parts.

As an important piece of Wuliangye Group’s entry into the automotive market, Push Group is not content to act as a mold supplier. First, it invested in automotive engines in 2006 and purchased a 46.5% stake in Xinhua Internal Combustion Engine Group, a subsidiary of Brilliance. In 2009, it established Brilliance Mianyang as a joint venture with Brilliance and obtained the qualification for vehicle production.

The good times didn’t last long. In 2011, after the new chairman Tang Qiao took over Wang Guochun, he listed and transferred Xinhua Internal Combustion, which had been losing money for many years. Since then, Wuliangye bid farewell to automobile engines and the car manufacturing business has temporarily come to an end. But the new people and new policies. After Li Shuguang took over as the chairman of Wuliangye Group in 2017, Wuliangye announced that it would spend 2.494 billion yuan to buy 51% of Chery’s Kaiyi Automobile, and spend 3.7 billion yuan to build the Kaiyi Yibin Smart Factory.

Kaiyi, which was acquired by Wuliangye, has not been able to open the market since its birth. In the early days of its establishment in 2014, Chery packaged Kaiyi as a “crowd-sourcing car building” under the thinking of the Internet, which once attracted great attention. However, the actual sales volume in 2015 was only 24,000, 37,000 in 2016, and 41,000 in 2017, which is far from expectations.

With the blessing of leading liquor companies, Kaiyi’s annual sales volume declined instead of rising, falling to 24,000 units in 2018 and 27,000 units in 2019. In mid-2020, Kaiyi released Wuliangye’s first new car to show off the world, which is very similar to Chery Tiggo 5X. Some evaluations directly pointed out that the body proportions, waistline, and front and rear suspension lengths of Xuanjie and Tiggo 5X are almost identical, and the power system and interior configuration are also very similar.

The new model of Kaiyi will have a total sales of 33,000 units in 2020, an increase of 5,000 units year-on-year. Among them, the sales volume of Xuanjie was 21,779, and several other models all declined. Entering 2021, the monthly sales volume of Xuanjie has dropped to 1,060 units in January, and again to 634 units in February.

Although the monthly sales volume of the first car has fallen to 100 units, Kaiyi is still planning new products. Not long ago, the Kaiyi Xuandu declaration drawing was exposed. According to the data, Xuandu will be equipped with a 1498ml engine with a maximum power of 115kW. An industry insider pointed out to AI Finance and Economics that considering the current models of Kaiyi Automobile Configuration and parameter performance, this engine is expected to be the 1.5T of the Kaiyi X3.

“If the situation is true, it may be difficult for new products to achieve breakthroughs in product strength,” the person pointed out, “Except for the low-end price advantage of Kaiyi, there is not much improvement in branding, design, R&D, and marketing.”

“Drunkard” does not mean wine

As an A-share wine company that sits in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets with Maotai, Wuliangye was once the top wine maker. In 2001, its revenue reached 4.742 billion yuan, almost three times that of Moutai during the same period (Moutai: 1.618 billion yuan). At that time, although the two heroes of baijiu were the best in terms of fame, Wuliangye was obviously better in terms of performance.

During the years when the champion jersey was added, Wuliangye gradually “expanded”, extending its capital tentacles to almost every inch of sight. In addition to the cars mentioned above, Wuliangye has also invested in CNC machine tools, real estate, hotels, plastics, medicine, import and export, environmental protection, daily chemicals, paper making, chips… But things are counterproductive, dozens of wholly-owned or controlling subsidiaries Very few companies generate revenue.

In addition to the diversified business that ended awkwardly, OEM liquor also consumed Wuliangye’s brand value. In 2006, according to statistics from an organization, Wuliangye owns more than 100 wine brands, whose prices are mainly between 30-80 yuan, and that 80% of the brand’s turnover accounts for only one-tenth of the total turnover of Wuliangye Winery.

Wuliangye, distracted from its main business, was finally overtaken by Moutai in 2008 in terms of revenue. In the following four years, although Wuliangye has turned the tide and returned to the throne of “revenue first”, the return on net assets has fallen sharply. Data show that in 2010, Wuliangye’s return on net assets was 16.996%, and Maotai was 39.677%. In 2012, Kweichow Moutai’s revenue was only a few hundred million yuan behind Wuliangye, but its net profit exceeded the latter by more than 3 billion yuan.

In 2013, the liquor industry ushered in an inflection point. Many high-end liquor companies, including Wuliangye and Shuijingfang, suffered heavy losses, but Moutai bucked the trend. From 2012 to 2014, Wuliangye’s revenue was 27.201 billion yuan, 24.719 billion yuan, and 21.011 billion yuan. Net profit attributable to its mother was 9.935 billion yuan, 7.973 billion yuan, and 5.835 billion yuan; Shuijingfang’s operating income was 1.636 billion yuan, respectively. 486 million yuan, 365 million yuan, net profit attributable to the parent of 338 million yuan, -154 million yuan, -418 million yuan. The operating income of Kweichow Moutai was RMB 26.455 billion, RMB 30.922 billion, and RMB 31.574 billion, and net profits attributable to the parent were RMB 13.308 billion, RMB 15.137 billion, and RMB 15.350 billion.

An industry insider who loves liquor told AI Finance and Economics that the reshuffle brought about by industry adjustments is the cause. The internal cause of Moutai’s growth against the trend is the scarcity of products and the financial attributes based on scarcity value. “Under the high-end positioning, The price difference between the market price and the ex-factory price protects Moutai’s profitability.”

Wuliangye, who was defeated, began to imitate Moutai’s high-end pace. The eighth generation of Wuliangye will be launched in 2019, and the strategic product “Super High-end 501” will be launched. In addition to the limited sale of 501 bottles each year, Wuliangye also claims to be the “Pearl in the Crown” in the advertisement. However, this has not reversed Wuliangye’s overall performance. The financial report shows that in 2019, Wuliangye’s annual revenue was 50.118 billion yuan, fulfilling the 50 billion yuan revenue target, but its sales volume was 165,100 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 13.67%, and its inventory was 15,800 tons, a year-on-year decrease. An increase of 22.06%. This means that Wuliangye, who wants to replicate Moutai’s high-end road, has fallen into a difficult situation.

In 2020, the liquor industry collectively broke out in the capital market. Kweichow Moutai once exceeded 3 trillion yuan, and currently ranks first with a market value of about 2.5 trillion yuan. Although Wuliangye is the second runner-up, its market value is only 1.1 trillion yuan, which is not as good as Maotai. half. The ambitions of the former leader come again, but the arena is no longer.

Older UAV models such as the Qods Mohajer-6 developed in 2017, the Yasirr and HESA Karar reconnaissance UAVs, often used in firing drills, were also on display during this year’s parade. In addition to the domestically produced UAV collection, guided missile systems such as the Damavand long-range missile and the Zolfaqar short and low-range missile systems also appeared at the parade. Iran’s goal of becoming a UAV powerhouse in the region of Iran is significantly limited due to international sanctions. Iran relies heavily on copying foreign UAVs, collecting debris from neighboring countries or from UAVs shot down in Iran. UAVs are not the only sector where the defense industry has made progress in recent decades. Iran currently produces small weapons, aircraft warships, missiles … Among these, the ballistic missile program is a concern for Israel and the US. The US believes that Iran’s ballistic missile program should be limited like its nuclear program. However, Tehran asserted that its ballistic missile program poses no threat to the United States, due to its limited range.

The controversy for the top of the chip industry is not only an industry breakthrough, but also an assault initiated by China to a manufacturing powerhouse.

There is no shortcut to the development of the chip industry. It can only rely on continuous iteration. Investment in the chip industry cannot be expected to “eat a fat man with one bite.”

Industrial funds represented by the National Fund have played an important role in promoting the development of my country’s integrated circuit industry. However, international leading companies continue to invest huge amounts of innovation to consolidate their leading positions in the industry. my country’s industrial companies cannot rely on their own accumulation to complete the task of catching up and need a lot of External capital investment support

Modern industry caused a “grain shortage”.

Recently, many auto giants have suspended production due to a lack of cores. The chip shortage starting in the fourth quarter of 2020 has intensified, and mobile phones, games and other fields are also facing a chip inventory crisis. Data company IHSMarkit said that in the first quarter of 2021, global production will be reduced by nearly 1 million light vehicles due to chip shortages.

The economic department of Taiwan has received requests from the United States, Germany, Japan, and the European Union to increase the supply of chips. The American Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) and large chip companies such as Intel and Qualcomm have jointly sent a letter to the President, hoping that the government will support the improvement of advanced process manufacturing capabilities.

The shortage of chips has ignited an investment war in the semiconductor industry. TSMC, the world’s largest chip foundry company, launched an equipment investment plan of up to 28 billion US dollars this year. The former giant Intel announced that it will return to the chip manufacturing market, and the global chip production capacity layout is facing a reshuffle.

Since the ZTE and Huawei incidents in 2018, the pain of China’s chip “stuck neck” has been in the throat. With strong demand, can China’s chip industry usher in overtaking opportunities while making up for its shortcomings? When will the high-end manufacturing puzzle of chip freedom be completed?

Contest at the tip of the pyramid

From mobile phone touch screen chips to water and electricity metering chips, from camera image chips to various communication interface chips, from home appliance control chips to Bluetooth chips… Thousands of chips, ranging from a few cents to hundreds of thousands The US dollar has propped up the super-trillion-scale semiconductor industry.

The World Semiconductor Trade Statistics Organization report pointed out that the total global semiconductor market sales in 2020 will reach 440 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 6.8% over 2019. The total scale is expected to reach 488 billion U.S. dollars this year, an increase of 10.9%.

Take the mobile phone industry as an example. The global smartphone shipments have reached the level of 1 billion, which has greatly stimulated the development of the chip industry from quantity to performance. Judging from the recent new energy automobile industry favored by the market, the “new four modernizations” of electrification, intelligence, networking, and sharing have created a large-scale high-end chip market.

Looking back to China, according to China’s semiconductor industry calculations, my country’s integrated circuit sales revenue in 2020 will be 884.8 billion yuan, an increase of about 20%, three times the growth rate of the global industry. From the perspective of market entities, data from the professional version of Tianyancha shows that in the past five years, the number of registrations of Chinese chip-related companies has increased year by year, with an annual growth rate of more than 30%. There are currently about 265,000 chip-related companies in my country.

China, which has the most complete and largest market scale in the global manufacturing category and has become the world’s electronic information product manufacturing center, still suffers from the pain of chip “stuck neck”.

The chip industry or the integrated circuit industry has many categories. The wide and long industry chain includes raw materials, design IP cores, chip manufacturing, equipment materials, packaging and testing, system design and other links, forming a pyramid system. Nearly 300,000 chip companies in China are catching up, mostly concentrated in the low-end market; at the head or even the spire, there are a few US and European countries such as general-purpose CPU/GPU, memory, advanced digital circuit process, high-power devices, etc. Leading Japanese and Korean companies lead and control the industrial chain. Under the current Sino-US economic and trade frictions and the intentions of countries to quickly get rid of the downturn in the economy, competition in integrated circuits is becoming increasingly “hot.”

In 2020, China’s total imports of integrated circuit products reached 350 billion U.S. dollars, reaching the highest level in history; exports amounted to 116.6 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 14.8% year-on-year, which was slower than the 20% growth in the same period in 2019. As the world’s largest chip importer, and the trade deficit of integrated circuit products continues to expand, it is increasingly urgent to strengthen the cornerstone of the integrated circuit industry.

From the perspective of economic and social development, new applications and scenarios such as cloud computing, big data, 5G, AI, and industrial Internet are constantly emerging, and the multiplication effect of integrated circuits is significant. The data shows that the output value of 1 yuan integrated circuit will drive the output value of electronic products about 10 yuan and the national economic growth of about 100 yuan. In recent years, the supply-side structural reforms have been deepened. The demand for emerging applications has gradually replaced the demand for traditional applications. Integrated circuit products have become an important driving force for the conversion of old and new kinetic energy. Occupying the top of the tower, having the right to speak and control the industry, has become the peak that China’s integrated circuit industry must climb.

The battle for the top of the chip industry is not only an industry breakthrough, but also a passport for China to become a manufacturing power.

Turn on touch high jump

Recently, Glory CEO Zhao Ming announced that the new Glory company has completed the integration. Back in 2020, Huawei was sanctioned by the United States, and its mobile phone business subject to chip manufacturing was the first to bear the brunt. More than 30 companies in the Honor-related industry chain launched an unprecedented self-rescue operation.

From a broader perspective, the strategic sprint of China’s chip industry has been extensively advanced.

Reshape the supply chain.

The reporter learned from interviews that many chip manufacturing companies have increased the proportion of localized procurement of materials and equipment. “As of 2020, the localization of materials has exceeded 60%.” said Cai Huijia, general manager of Jinghe Integration. In 2020, Jinghe Integration has achieved its goal of leading the market share in the field of mobile phone panel driver chip foundry.

BGI, which is deeply engaged in chip design software EDA tools, is innovating the value chain in the global supply chain. The company’s deputy general manager Guo Jiwang said that the company’s business and technical capabilities are showing rapid growth. At present, it has achieved more than 20 commercialized products, accounting for more than half of the mainstream EDA tools, serving nearly 400 customers worldwide, and forming a close relationship with leading companies in the industry. Strategic partnership.

Consolidate the foundation and fill the gaps.

SMIC, which represents the most advanced level of independent research and development of integrated circuit manufacturing in mainland China, was forced to suspend the research and development and capacity construction of advanced processes of 10 nanometers and below due to the embargo. For the next step of development, Zhao Haijun, the co-CEO of SMIC, introduced that one is to actively expand the production capacity of mature process nodes of 28 nanometers and above; the other is to actively promote supply licensing to ensure that the chemical materials, gases, and accessories required for production will not be interrupted in the short term. ; The third is to respond to the diversified demand for chips in the post-smart phone era and explore a more suitable sustainable development path.

Teng Ran, head of CCID Consulting’s IC Research Center, said that mature processes represented by 28-nanometer processes will continue to be the basis for many manufacturers to maintain profits and participate in the research and development of advanced semiconductor processes in the future; SMIC is currently actively expanding 28 Nano mature process, by continuously improving product yield, enhancing product stability, consolidating the foundation, and then conquering the advanced process of 7nm and 5nm, it is a relatively benign development.

In the field of advanced processes, SMIC announced that it will strengthen the development and deployment of the first and second generation FinFET multi-platforms, and expand the reliability and competitiveness of the platforms.

On April 1, the domestic company that produces lithography machines, Xinqi Microelectronics, landed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board, and was called “the first stock of lithography machines in China”, although the lithography machine products it produced and marketed were not in integrated circuit manufacturing. Widely used mainstream category, but fills the gap in my country’s high-end chip industry chain, and the determination to become a world brand of lithography machines reflects the aspirations of Chinese chip companies.

Take another path and explore characteristic craftsmanship.

In the post-Moore era, the annual performance improvement of chips tends to be saturated, and a single advanced R&D process will become more and more difficult. The protagonist of technology that maintains “Moore’s Law” is fundamentally changing. The generational replacement of technology may shake the advantage of the leader and bring opportunities for Chinese chip companies to catch up.

A number of companies representing new forces in the global chip industry said that under the oligopoly of various chip industries, the needs of many small and medium-sized customers have not been met. Innovative, lightweight, and characteristic solutions can create new value for the market.

Start the high jump, seek and run in subdivision areas.

The domestic emphasis on the chip industry is increasing day by day. Thanks to the continuous increase in policy support, it not only maintains a leading edge in the field of communication chips, but also achieves varying degrees of development in multiple subdivisions including memory chips, decoding chips, and security chips. progress. In particular, many AI chip start-ups have entered the emerging segment to catch up with international giants. For example, Shangtang Technology and Pingtou have ignited the passion and dreams of more Chinese chip travelers.

In a few areas, domestic manufacturers have begun to enter the global mid-to-high-end application market. Such as Huawei HiSilicon’s Kirin mobile phone chip and Howe Technology’s image sensor chip.

In the manufacturing and material equipment fields that are still far behind the international advanced level, such as the semiconductor equipment of China Micro Semiconductors and North China Huachuang have realized a certain proportion of domestic substitution; 8-inch and 12-inch wafers, domestically produced proportions Is constantly improving.

Cluster breakthrough.

Recently, Shanghai Lingang New Area released a special plan for the integrated circuit industry (2021-2025). It is expected that by 2025, the scale of the integrated circuit industry will exceed 100 billion yuan, and breakthroughs will be made in the industrialization of key “card neck” technologies such as EDA tools, photoresist, and large silicon wafers, and more than 5 leading domestic and foreign chip manufacturing companies will be introduced and cultivated. 5 equipment and materials companies with annual revenue of more than 2 billion yuan, and cultivate more than 10 listed companies.

On March 24, the Northern Integrated Circuit Technology Innovation Center project in Beijing Economic Development Zone officially started construction, which will accelerate the construction of an integrated circuit industry ecosystem centered on Beijing. Beijing Economic Development Zone is one of the regions with the highest concentration of integrated circuit industry and the most advanced technology in the country. Currently, the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone has a monthly production capacity of 120,000 to 140,000 12-inch wafers. With the construction of multiple new projects, the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone will have a monthly production capacity of 500,000 12-inch wafers. The production capacity of the country has become the largest area of ​​12-inch wafer production capacity in the country. Data show that in 2020, the new generation of information technology industry in Beijing Economic Development Zone represented by the integrated circuit industry will achieve a total output value of 83.5 billion yuan.

In catching up, China’s chip industry has significantly improved its manufacturing process, packaging technology, and key equipment materials. A number of leading companies that can create new value for the global supply chain have emerged in the industrial chain of design, manufacturing, packaging and testing.

Haipu Nano Technology Co., Ltd. has realized the chip miniaturization of hyperspectral imaging, and has achieved breakthroughs in MEMS (micro electromechanical) chips and new image sensors

Construct high-end manufacturing collaborative thinking

In the next step, how do you view the development path of China’s chip industry and the development space for domestic substitution? A number of interviewees pointed out that one is capital and talents, the other is time, and the third is the coordination of the industrial chain.

With the continuous increase of national policy support, especially after the launch of the science and technology innovation board, the capital and talent situation of the chip industry has been significantly improved. At present, the domestic chip industry has attracted a large influx of funds, and the wealth effect has attracted the return of overseas talents.

However, there is no shortcut to the development of the chip industry. It can only rely on continuous iteration. It is very likely that the development cycle of a chip will not keep up with the rate of return of capital. In Teng Ran’s view, investment in the chip industry cannot be expected to “eat a fat man in one bite.”

Many industry insiders pointed out that the lack of cores once again demonstrated the importance of supply chain autonomy, but the chip manufacturing process is complex and highly dependent on the global supply chain. While building an independent industrial chain, China Chip still has to strengthen its awareness of jointly building a chip industrial chain on a global scale.

If China wants to gain control in this high-end manufacturing field, it needs to further break the barriers to the input of resource elements, mainly to increase funding and talent support for the integrated circuit industry.

One is to maintain long-term and high-intensity investment of funds. According to official U.S. listed company data, the R&D investment and capital expenditure of U.S. chip companies in 2019 totaled 71.7 billion U.S. dollars. From 1999 to 2019, the total capital investment of U.S. chip companies was nearly 900 billion U.S. dollars. However, the first and second phases of the China National Big Fund add up to about 300 billion yuan, which is an order of magnitude difference.

The industrial financial support represented by the National Large Fund (Phase I and Phase II) has played an important role in promoting the development of my country’s integrated circuit industry, but the leveraging effect of the national large fund industry is difficult to show in the short term. In the long run, larger-scale, higher-intensity, and more sustainable capital investment is still needed. At the same time, international leading companies continue to invest huge amounts of innovation to consolidate their leading positions in the industry. my country’s industrial companies cannot rely on their own accumulation to complete the task of catching up and still need a large amount of external capital investment support.

The second is to strengthen the construction of the talent training system. At present, there are about 500,000 employees in my country’s local integrated circuit industry. Compared with the total demand for talents of 745,000, the gap is relatively large. In particular, the shortage of high-end talents in the industry and the shortage of leading personnel cannot be effectively solved in the short term, and the talent training system has not yet been able to effectively meet the development needs of the “stuck neck” field.

Looking further, since the introduction of the National Integrated Circuit Industry Development Promotion Program in 2014 and the establishment of the National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund (“National Fund”), my country’s integrated circuit industry has made great progress, but the industrial development system and mechanism still Many shortcomings.

One is the blurring of the power and responsibility boundaries between government, industry and academia. Some local governments ignore the laws of industrial development and scientific decision-making judgments and are racing to launch semiconductor manufacturing projects. Many domestic “100 billion” and “tens of billions” projects have been suspended and debt disputes have occurred; industrial enterprises have blindly expanded across regions in order to obtain more subsidies. The repeated development of low-level industrial production and low-level industries; research on administrative and commercial value orientation has led some scholars to “enter” innovation and entrepreneurship, and weaken the overall research power of the industry.

The second is the lack of collaborative innovation. Industry and academia have their own R&D investment, lack of overall coordination, one-sided pursuit of a single technological breakthrough, and neglect of industrial ecological construction.

Third, the development of long-term mechanisms is fragile. The evaluation system is imperfect, and the purpose and methods of technological innovation are inverted, making it difficult to form a sustainable development trend.

Improve the nationwide system and mechanism for scientific and technological research

Many industry insiders suggested that relying on my country’s huge market advantages, firmly grasp the development windows of new infrastructure, new national system, etc., take the domestic cycle as the main body, and use product applications as the traction to promote the breakthrough development of the integrated circuit industry and ensure industrial supply The chain is safe.

Speed ​​up the repair of short plates and forging long plates to improve the technical level.

One is to improve the level of integrated circuit manufacturing as the core development direction. The level of integrated circuit manufacturing is an important indicator to measure the country’s innovation capabilities. We should continue to maintain investment perseverance, determination and enthusiasm in the industry, especially in the manufacturing process; through policy support such as fiscal and tax incentives, credit incentives, etc., guide social capital into the integrated circuit manufacturing process , To ease the pressure on government investment.

The second is to strengthen the industry’s long-term advantages. In-depth review of the long-term field of my country’s integrated circuit industry, facing product fields with comparative advantages such as CMOS image sensors, optoelectronics, NORFlash memory, and AI chips, promote the realization of both technological level and market scale upgrades, and create industrial asymmetric checks and balances.

The third is to accelerate breakthroughs in key core technology shortcomings. Aiming at the “stuck neck” link of high-end chips, key equipment, production materials, design tools, etc., with leading enterprises, scientific research institutions and other innovative core entities, increase resource introduction and policy support, organize key core technology research in the industry, and strive to shorten and internationally advanced Level gap.

Improve the nationwide system and mechanism for scientific and technological research.

Strengthen the supervision and guidance of industrial development. Adhere to the principle of “main body concentration and regional agglomeration”, maintain investment in key core areas such as memory and advanced technology, promote the high-end development of mature technology, special technology, compound semiconductor and other manufacturing industries, and cultivate a manufacturing industry with certain technical strength and capacity scale Cluster. At the same time, with “window guidance” as the starting point, strengthen supervision and accountability of local governments, standardize the development order of the integrated circuit industry, and prevent and resolve major project construction and investment risks.

Establish an independent and open ecosystem. Focusing on industry, supplemented by academia, promoting the transformation from horizontal integration of industrial resources to vertical integration, establishing a system led by complete machine and system manufacturers, software and hardware enterprises, scientific research and innovation institutions, etc., to participate in independent products through product verification, upgrade and iteration, etc. The domestically-made ecosystem with rapidly increasing maturity realizes innovation and synergy.

Innovate the long-term cooperation model of industry, university and research. Through policy guidance, actively play the role of national key R&D plans and major national science and technology projects, explore the establishment of joint R&D projects involving leading integrated circuit companies, give technology commercial value in technology research and development, promote the commercial application of integrated circuits, and realize industrial science ,sustainable development.

Increase the tilt investment of industrial resources.

Give full play to the power of capital to promote industrial enterprises to become bigger and stronger. Start the third phase of the National Big Fund as soon as possible, learn from the successful experience of the first and second phases, adjust the industry investment leading method, target the memory, advanced process, compound semiconductor and other fields, and continue to increase the investment in key enterprises such as SMIC, Yangtze River Storage, Quanzhou San’an, etc. Capital investment to maintain the continuity of corporate support policies; for the integrated circuit industry, use central and provincial funds as guiding funds to promote the injection of funds, banks, venture capital institutions, and private capital into the industry, improve the multi-level capital market, and promote the development of the industry ; Build a unified informatization and credit investigation platform, continue to optimize the industrial financing environment, lower the threshold of industrial investment and financing, and reduce the pressure on government investment.

Build a fertile ground for active talents and ensure the efficient development of the industry. Facing integrated circuit equipment, materials, design, manufacturing, packaging and testing and other links, actively recruit international leading talent teams; make full use of the opportunity to implement the first-level discipline construction of integrated circuits, and face the “stuck neck” fields such as equipment, materials and manufacturing, comprehensively consider and Integrate the national strategic needs and the development needs of industrial enterprises, form a scientific discipline talent training goal, encourage universities to optimize the discipline layout, and strive to cultivate compound talents in basic research, engineering management and other fields to provide talent guarantee for industrial development.

With the effective control of the domestic epidemic and the rapid recovery of the domestic manufacturing market, smart manufacturing has become one of the most watched tracks. Some smart manufacturing companies have been investigated by a large number of investment institutions and have gained the favor of capital.

For example, a research report released by Hillhouse Capital last year stated that Hillhouse will continue to expand its investment footprint in subdivided fields such as information automation, industrial Internet, and intelligent robots, and at the same time use the power of capital to connect the new economy and traditional industries to realize society Sustainable economic development.

Harbin Industrial Intelligence (000584), as a leading domestic enterprise engaged in intelligent manufacturing business, has a full industrial chain layout around industrial robots, has core technology and production capacity, or will benefit from the benefits of policies that encourage the development of intelligent manufacturing.

The future development potential of the intelligent manufacturing industry is huge

Insiders pointed out that the industrial Internet, as a software element of factory digitization, its long-term economic empowerment lies in promoting “cost reduction and efficiency enhancement” in the production and sales management link. The Industrial Internet is the core path for the transformation of the domestic manufacturing industry. Examples of applications in textile, electronics, auto parts and other fields have already appeared. Traditional domestic manufacturers are still facing the situation of low industrial added value and low capacity utilization rate, and the marginal output value of the industrial Internet has enabled the performance of the existing trend in recent years.

Ping An Securities Research Report previously stated that the “14th Five-Year Plan” provides guidance for the future development of the intelligent manufacturing industry.

Mr. Andrew Barnes, the Australian Deputy Embassy in Hanoi and the delegation inspected the sea cucumber farming area in Van Ninh district (Khanh Hoa).

Attending the seminar were Mr. Andrew Barnes, Deputy Embassy of Australia in Vietnam; representatives of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Vietnam and the agriculture sectors of Khanh Hoa and Quang Ngai provinces.

In Vietnam, the project selected white-breasted sea cucumber (Holothuria fuscogilva) for research, hatchery production and nursery testing. After one year of implementation in Khanh Hoa and Quang Ninh, the results were positive. Evaluation shows that sea cucumber is suitable for natural conditions in Khanh Hoa. Specifically, from the seed with a weight of about 0.3g and then a weight of 60g, the survival rate reached 92%.

Mr. Nguyen Duc Thoai, in Dam Mon village, Van Thanh commune, Van Ninh district (Khanh Hoa) is one of the three households implementing experimental farming, said sea cucumber grows and develops well, high survival rate. Therefore, he wants the project to continue to multiply on a large scale to serve farmers in need.

Dr. Nguyen Dinh Quang Duy, Deputy Director of Central National Center for Seafood Breeding, Research Institute for Aquaculture 3, said that the culture of hormones instead of traditional methods stimulated the reproduction of sea cucumbers. white success. Accordingly, the research team has produced nearly 20,000 breeders for commercial experiments and experimental farming.

“The results of the project initially bring about very positive results when successfully producing sea cucumber, the type of economic value 5 times higher than that of sand sea cucumber; At the same time, opening up opportunities to create livelihoods for farmers in the coming time as well as reducing the pressure on exploiting natural sea cucumbers that are endangered, contributing to environmental protection ”, Dr. Nguyen Dinh Duy product.

Facing the results from the project, Mr. Andrew Barnes, Deputy Embassy of Australia in Vietnam highly appreciated the cooperation between USC University and Research Institute for Aquaculture 3 to successfully produce white-breasted sea cucumber. with new methods, opening up valuable opportunities for the production of sea cucumbers for this industry. When he looked at the sea cucumbers farmed at sea in Van Ninh, he realized that the project goal was very clear, initially creating a new career for farmers, reducing the pressure of sea cucumber exploitation in the wild, contributing to protecting environmental protection and aquatic resource diversity.

Sea cucumbers raised in Dam Mon village, Van Thanh commune, Van Ninh district, Khanh Hoa province grew and developed well.

Representatives of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Quang Ngai expressed interest in the successful application of white breasted sea cucumber varieties. Currently, Quang Ngai does not have any model to raise sea cucumber. Sand sea cucumber has been cultured in the area for about 3 years now with remarkable results. Therefore, the province is oriented to develop sand sea cucumbers on a large scale, have seed stocked in Ly Son marine reserve in 2021 and soon approach research technology to produce white sea cucumber seed.

Regarding the stocking of sea cucumbers at the Ly Son marine reserve, Dr. Truong Ha Phuong, Deputy Director in charge of Research Institute of Aquaculture 3, said that it is expected that in the coming time, it will coordinate to stocking in the area. this field by artificial seed sources.

At the seminar, delegates also focused on discussing the possibility of commercialization and development direction of sea cucumber in Vietnam; in which the issue is of concern is the output of the product.

According to Mr. Le Thanh Nhan, Chairman and General Director of Vietnam Sea cucumber Joint Stock Company, which has a sea cucumber processing factory according to high standards of Japan, the US, is not only dry processing for export. sold crude. Although there are about 90% dry products on the world market, the company will produce products for consumers to use.

Nhan also said that in recent years, the company has boosted the purchase of sandy sea cucumber in Phu Yen and Khanh Hoa. At the same time, confirmed to consume the output of sea cucumbers to ensure farmers because the company only consumes farmed sea cucumbers, not natural sea cucumbers. In the company’s strategy is to spend 90% of products for export and 10% for domestic service because the domestic market is not used to sea cucumber. The company’s products have also been exported and market expansion continues.

Sea cucumbers were cultured for trials in Khanh Hoa.

Prof. Dr. Ngo Xuan Binh, Deputy Director of Department of Science and Technology (Ministry of Science and Technology), said that technology to stimulate reproduction by hormone, Vietnam currently has not applied much. Therefore, with the successful production of white-breasted sea cucumber with this technology, it creates a breakthrough, opens up opportunities as well as creates a livelihood for farmers. However, for this technology to produce sea cucumber more successful, commercialization is needed.

According to Assoc.Prof. Dr. Nguyen Huu Ninh, Deputy Director of Department of Science, Technology and Environment (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development), Australia has supported Vietnam a lot in the agricultural sector recently; including seafood. Through cooperation, we grasp new technologies as well as enhance research capacity.

For sea cucumbers, in the past, Vietnam produced sandy sea cucumber by traditional methods such as heat stimulation, so it was not as active as hormone-based fertility stimulation. Mr. Ninh believes that with this technology, other rare and precious sea cucumbers will be successfully produced in the near future. On the other hand, it can reduce illegal exploitation at sea, contribute to overcoming IUU yellow card as well as serving strategic direction of fisheries development.

Exploiting the potentials and advantages available in the locality, the youth-owned cooperatives have really brought efficiency, created jobs and stable income, contributing to building a new countryside.

Graduating from the Intermediate School of Agriculture, Ms. Lo Thi Dung, of Thai ethnicity, from Tham Phe village, Muong Kim commune, Than Uyen district, Lai Chau province participated in the local delegation activities. Realizing that the water surface of the hydropower reservoir in the area is a great advantage, Ms. Dung has mobilized the young people in the village to contribute capital and borrow additional funds from the Central Youth Union to develop the model of cage culture.

Hua Na guava brand is an Ocop product and has a reputation inside and outside Lai Chau province, owned by union members and young people.

As the head of Tham Phé Cooperative, Ms. Lo Thi Dung shared that the biggest difficulty was initially capital to invest in production, then many young people in the village did not trust to take advantage of the lake’s water surface adopt fish. After 1 year of farming, the first fish cage was effective, so it was easier to mobilize young people. Up to now, the cooperative has mobilized more than 20 members to participate, with 12 cages of mausoleum, carp, etc.

“Our cooperative is supported with a capital source of 120 from the Central Youth Union and has repaired and remodeled houses and cages to serve the cooperative’s aquaculture activities. The cooperative looks forward to those years. Here, the Party and State are interested in and create conditions for the cooperative to access more preferential loans, so that the cooperative can expand further. , together with more developed cooperatives “- Ms. Lo Thi Dung said.

Youth union members and youth of Than Uyen district take the lead in the model of raising fish in cage on the hydroelectric lake bed.

Hua Na commune, Than Uyen district, Lai Chau province, the locality has advantages in land and soil suitable for many types of crops and livestock. From the initial model of guava, up to now, the young people in the commune have established more than 20 models of economic development such as fish farming, guava, strawberries, medicinal plants, and breeding cattle. Hua Na Cooperative is also a typical model of the collective economy of Lai Chau province, with the typical OCOP product “Hua Na guava”.

Mr. Do Van Tuan, Secretary of Hoi Na Youth Union, Than Uyen District, said: “The cooperative is managing 6 hectares of guava, about 5,000 square meters of strawberries and 5,000 square meters of medicinal plants. The past has created jobs for 20 to 25 local workers, especially for young people In the coming time, the commune union will also have many orientations for young people, such as progressing to travel abroad. ecological calendar, combining fruit tree areas in order to create output, create product branding “.

Fully exploiting the potentials and advantages of each locality, the commune authorities in Than Uyen district, Lai Chau province have oriented young people to start their business development, associated with building a new countryside. When young people start their business, they are all supported by the government in terms of land conditions and loans. From the area of ​​barren hills, bare land and immense hydroelectric lake-bed waters, the creativity of youth has created hundreds of effective economic models.

Mr. Do Manh Huan, Deputy Secretary of Than Uyen District Youth Union, said young people who set up a career have little experience, but their enthusiasm is redundant. They learn hard and are ready to stand up when they fail to achieve success. Up to now, Than Uyen Youth Union has established 7 cooperatives, providing jobs and stable income from 5 to 10 million VND per month for hundreds of workers who are ethnic minorities in the locality.

The youth-owned cooperatives in Than Uyen district have created jobs and stable incomes for hundreds of local workers.

Also according to Mr. Huan: “In the training activities related to start-ups and start-ups from the central government to the province, we all choose union members and young people to participate in training courses to improve their capacity in entrepreneurship. Every year, the district Youth Union organizes dialogues related to start-ups and business establishment and mobilizes the members and youths of the communes to participate.

Development models mainly focused on agriculture such as guava, fish cage, passion fruit. In the coming time, the District Youth Union will continue to accompany young people in starting a business, setting up a career, towards registering Ocop products “.

Economic development models in the form of linking cooperative members who are young people in Than Uyen have brought about practical results, with OCOP products branded “Youth Cooperatives”. The manufactured products are of high quality and safe for users and appear more and more in the market inside and outside the province. However, in order for economic models owned by young people to reach out, it is also necessary to have more incentives in terms of capital and chain of links in production and consumption of products./.

When Chanel introduced Vamp 18 nail polish in 1994, it instantly became something every lady wants to own. Vamp paint color is a little bit of a cool grunge style but still maintains the signature elegance of French fashion. Then the Vamp stopped producing, it made millions of women’s hearts want to stop beating.

Chanel’s famous Vamp 18 nail polish bottle.

World of discontinued beauty products (discontinued beauty products)

The aforementioned $ 15 bottle of Chanel nail polish has become a cultural standard when it is loved by top stars. With its low cost, it is extremely successful in the mass consumer market. Throughout the history of Chanel, there has never been a miracle comparable to Vamp nail polish bottles. It is also the product beauty Best-selling Chanel of all time.

Vamp is the best selling Chanel beauty product of all time.

Most cosmetic products are discontinued as they are gone forever, driving you crazy with searching. The association loves the discontinued cosmetic lines (discontinued beauty products) always crowded and powerful. The announcement to stop producing certain products also makes the market for buying and selling these products thrive.

Just Google you will find a lot of websites buying and selling discontinued cosmetic lines. Hundreds of products can be found in stages, from big brands like Clinque, Aveda … to obscure brands like Orofluido, Dicesare …

The discontinued purchasing industry also brings huge profits for some entrepreneurs. They invest in buying quality but fledgling brands (acquired by big corporations and rebranding sooner or later), or buy limited edition lines and sell them. when they are out of stock on the market.

Even products that have been used like tried lipsticks or perfumes that have been used several times are still selling well. One example is Candy Yum Yum-colored Mac lipstick.

When a large conglomerate like P&G makes an acquisition, they typically produce multiple products of the acquired brands in a very short period of time, before stopping selling and developing new formulas. It is time for speculators to buy in bulk and then wait until female customers realize their favorite product is no longer available anywhere.

The prices of discontinued products range from 10-30 dollars, but there are also some extremely rare items that sell for hundreds of dollars. Rare records like Redken’s Extreme PPT damaged hair recovery product were acquired by a Japanese customer for $ 500.

Redken’s Extreme PPT hair care product sets a resale price record.

Even used products (like tried-and-tested lipsticks or perfumes that last several times) are selling well as usual. People don’t care what they are second hand, as long as it is a product that they have loved and are familiar with, then pick it up.

The secret behind the guise

The tag “Stop production line” has caused the brand to be transmitted by word of mouth and engraved on consumers’ mind more.

So, what makes a product worth pursuing so many people want to resell? What makes girls accept to pay double or 3 times the original price to buy a cosmetic product?
