It is the highlight before the New Year every year.

A variety of dishes

It contains people’s concern for happy reunion.

And the expectation of a better life.

There is still about a week before the Spring Festival in the Year of the Loong.

New Year’s Eve reservations are in full swing.

The reporter was informed by an interview

Major hotels and restaurants are in succession.

Open the dinner reservation.

"One table is hard to find" scene

Reservation for New Year’s Eve dinner is "hard to find a table"

"Can I still book the New Year’s Eve box?" Recently, Ms. Shen came to this seafood-themed restaurant in Gangxia District, Futian, Shenzhen to make a reservation. After the waiter inquired, he said that the dinner on New Year’s Eve, 112 storefronts and 30 independent private rooms were all fully booked.

Yang Xiao, general manager of a seafood theme restaurant in Shenzhen, told the reporter, "The New Year’s Eve, the first day of the first month and the second day of the first month are the peak days for eating. In addition to Shenzhen locals, there are also many tourists from Hong Kong and other provinces who booked this year, which is almost twice as many as last year."

In Nanshan, a traditional old Cantonese restaurant in Shenzhen, in order to meet the needs of more customers, the hotel set a three-round platform turning time slot on the night of the 30 th of the year. As of press time, only the third round of platform turning can be reserved.

In addition to having New Year’s Eve dinner, many citizens choose to have dinner at the wrong peak, and book a restaurant to have dinner with family and friends before New Year’s Eve. When the reporter tried to book a number of restaurants in Futian by phone, he learned that almost all restaurants and private rooms from weekends to Chinese New Year were fully booked, and many restaurants said, "You can only queue up at the scene." Not only is the New Year’s Eve dinner "a table is hard to find", but also the dinner is very hot near the Spring Festival.

In addition, compared with usual, the price of the New Year’s Eve dinner package will be relatively higher. A Cantonese restaurant in Shenzhen has launched a set meal for 10 people in various combinations this year, with prices ranging from 4,500 yuan to 5,400 yuan. Public comments show that the average consumption of the store is around 200-300 yuan.

In the naming of set meals and dishes, catering businesses have also put a lot of thought into highlighting the festive atmosphere of the New Year’s Eve, and incorporated "the Year of the Loong elements", such as "Fucai Xianglong", "Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang", "Longteng Xiangrui" and "Long Xing Universiade" to create a full-year flavor.

"Book the next year’s dinner after eating."

On social platforms, many netizens shared their process of booking New Year’s Eve dinner, "I ran several times before booking a box", and "some people queued up after 6 o’clock". Some netizens commented, "It’s still very good to book it now." "Most hotels are basically booked as long as they open the New Year’s Eve."

Netizens have said that it is necessary to book the New Year’s Eve dinner as early as possible. "We all book the New Year’s Eve dinner for the next year just after eating this year." "Some popular restaurants have to book after the National Day at the latest, and even the lobby is gone if it is later."

Online data also proves that the catering market is hot. Since January, public comment netizens have paid great attention to the "dinner reservation".

According to the take-away data of the US Mission, the search volume of "Shenzhen New Year’s Eve Reservation" increased by 8 times compared with the same period of last year. Among them, Baoan District, Longgang District, Nanshan District, Futian District and Longhua District are the top five regions in terms of consumption scale.

Some catering merchants have launched low-discount New Year’s Eve dinner, reunion dinner and other store packages through platforms such as Meituan and public comment, so as to lock in the dining needs of citizens and tourists during the Spring Festival in advance. According to reports, in the past week, the number of catering merchants in Shenzhen who launched the "New Year’s Eve" theme meal package in the US Mission increased by over 110% from the previous week.

Catering consumption may continue to pick up in 2024.

According to reports, the end of the year and the beginning of the year are important observation points for catering consumption. Experts pointed out that the popularity of New Year’s Eve reservations also reflects the increased consumer confidence and the overall recovery of the catering industry.

Yang Xiao, general manager of a seafood restaurant in Shenzhen, said, "Compared with weekdays, our stocking volume during the Spring Festival increased by 40%-50% to cope with the peak passenger flow. For example, the daily stocking of Rocky Shrimp is only about 200 kg, the daily stocking during the Spring Festival is 400-500 kg, the daily stocking of oysters is about 1,300, and 1,600-1,800 are prepared during the Spring Festival. "

Hou Lijie, secretary-general of Shenzhen Cuisine Association, said that with the change of consumer demand, the dining scene, acquisition method and dish form of New Year’s Eve dinner have become more and more yuan, and consumers have higher requirements for the quality of dishes, freshness of ingredients and cooking techniques, and pay more attention to cost performance.

"With the iteration of consumers and the richness of dining scenes, hotels and well-known restaurants can launch home delivery service for New Year’s Eve. In terms of on-site kitchen service, we have trained more relevant practitioners to bring higher-skilled and higher-standard kitchen substitutes to the market, and formulated the standards of’ annual dishes’ in various regions to meet the needs of consumers for better quality New Year’s Eve. " Hou Lijie said.

But it’s far from the end of the rope.

What is big today will be small tomorrow.

The biggest thing this year will be a story next year.

A 76-year-old grandmother went to the street to sell vegetables with a pole every day, rain or shine, for eight years.

That year, her son had an accident, and the family emptied their money and owed 100,000 yuan.

The creditor came to the door and found that the 76-year-old man picked 60 kilograms of vegetables to sell every day in order to pay off his son’s debts, in fact, he could sell 70 yuan.

A big bag of wild vegetables, I don’t know how long it took to dig, only sold for two dollars.

In order to save money, grandma couldn’t bear to eat good food at noon, so a bowl of boiled water and two hard buns were enough.

In the eyes of many people, grandma has a hard life, but she is quite satisfied. People who are not treated well by life know more about kindness.

She said that all the people she met were good people. Everyone would buy more food every time, let her go back early, and when she saw that she couldn’t bear to eat steamed buns, she would also buy her a leek cake.

The most touching thing about grandma is that when life slaps one after another, she doesn’t complain. Instead, she says, "Crying can’t solve the problem. I’ll eat well and live well."

Now her life is getting better little by little, her son is gradually recovering, and her debt is almost finished …

Life is bitter, but suffering is not life.

Because there are always people who can look up at the stars in the gutter and still love life after seeing the cruel truth of life.

A 69-year-old blind Filipino grandfather has no children or daughters, and his brothers and sisters are not around.

To survive, the old man has been peeling coconuts for a living.

I have to peel 1200-1300 pieces every day, not to mention the bad working environment. The most distressing thing is that I can just fill my stomach when I am so tired.

Despite the hard life, the old man never wanted to ask others for help, nor did he complain.

He was told, "You are really something." Grandpa smiled and said, "it’s nothing. You can’t survive without working."

A heavy snow stopped the bus.

Uncle Zhao, 60, walked back to his hometown 80 miles away, carrying quilts, mats and other daily necessities in order to save 200 yuan for taking a taxi.

It costs 200 yuan to take a taxi, which may be a meal for many people, but it is already a lot for Uncle Zhao. He said it was harder to earn money when he was older.

Image source: pear video

His salary is more than 2000 yuan a month, and he only paid off half of it in the New Year. Save a little, save this 200 yuan, and he thinks about buying a new dress for his wife.

Someone asked him if he was not cold. Grandpa smiled and said, "It gets warmer as you go."

There is no word "easy" in adult life, but if you make your family’s life better with your own efforts, everything is worth it.

On a rainy night at 4 o’clock in the morning in Hangzhou, a takeaway brother rode for more than 20 miles to deliver food. After arriving at the destination, he couldn’t contact the customer, so he had to put the meal at the door.

No one knows how long he had been running around in the heavy rain to earn more money, and even his hands were frostbitten.

Maybe he is really tired. He sent such a short message to the customer with his itchy hands: Thank you, let me say goodbye to this business completely. Enjoy it.

Then I pushed the electric car that had no electricity and walked home for dozens of miles.

Fortunately, the final ending was very warm. After the customer found the takeaway, he explained to the younger brother that he fell asleep because he was too tired from work and did not receive the call in time. The takeaway brother also continued to come back to work.

In this world, there is no job that is not hard. You have to swallow grievances, bitterness and unwillingness … The takeaway brother delivers food rain or shine, and the white-collar workers have seen Beishangguang at three in the morning.

Fortunately, there are always some unexpected warmth that touches the softest part of the heart and becomes the reason to persist.

A melon farmer went to town to send tuition fees to his children, but he was so anxious that he left 8000 yuan on the bus because of carelessness.

Fortunately, the lost money was discovered by the driver’s master and contacted the melon farmers in time.

Seeing the recovered money, the eldest brother cried like a child, and the sister next to him said, "Don’t make people laugh", but he was still sobbing.

We can’t imagine how helpless and anxious he was during the time when the money was lost. Maybe 8000 yuan, for some people, is just the money for a new mobile phone, but for this big brother, it is hard-earned money and the money for children to study.

It is said that men don’t flick when they have tears, but a penny can really beat the hero.

People always ask why so many people care about those few dollars. The truth is, you never know how important these few dollars are to them.

I have seen such a news, and I am deeply impressed so far.

A lost notebook was found on a bus in Zhengzhou. Open the notebook, which records the income and expenditure of one year, the cost of mother’s medical treatment, visiting relatives and daily expenses … After a hard year, there is really not much money left.

In a hurry for another year, after careful calculation, this year’s income is 92,000 yuan, and the expenses that can be remembered are 76,600 yuan, leaving 15,400 yuan.

In fact, my hands are empty, and after a hard year, the bill has come out, but I don’t know where all the money has gone. ? ?

Finally, the owner of the notebook wrote such a sentence, "It’s really hard to earn money". Just from the words, we can see that the life of the notebook owner is not easy.

Some people say that this is a true portrayal of a drifter, but isn’t this a portrayal of you and me?

Every day, I am surrounded by life, and I am defeated again and again. I want to give up countless times, but I think that there is no one behind me, so I can only grit my teeth and insist.

The feeling of being beaten by life is particularly bad, but life will continue anyway.

indeed

We are all forced by life at times.

But there are always some people and things.

Some touching details support us.

Live for the people you love and the things you love

So are you, and so am I.

Take a deep breath when you are unhappy.

It’s just a bad day

It’s not a bad life

Life is not easy for anyone.

But please believe.

Every time you carry a load.

Are accompanied by the gentleness and goodwill of the world.

As long as you don’t recognize cowardice

Life can’t stop you.

As long as you live, something good will happen.

There is no easy word in the adult world.

Praise for everyone who works hard.

The leader was furious.

This flower costs less than 333 yuan.

Capacity//CCA//Price Investigation of New Car Battery on the Market (5)

  [car home in-depth investigation] It has been a long time since the last battery investigation, and now we have picked up this topic again. The models surveyed in this issue are still several popular models listed recently, including compact cars, medium-sized cars and SUVs. Next, let’s take a look at the battery performance of these popular models!

Home of the car

Previous battery investigation articles Investigation on battery capacity of mainstream models on the market (1) See who is more practical! Investigation on batteries of mainstream models in the market (2) Investigation on batteries of mainstream cars in autonomous compact cars (3) Investigation on batteries of mainstream models of joint venture compact cars (Ⅳ)

Automobile batteries are divided into ordinary lead-acid (non-maintenance-free) batteries and maintenance-free batteries.

Home of the car

  Batteries in vehicles are divided into ordinary lead-acid (non-maintenance-free) batteries and maintenance-free batteries. Ordinary lead-acid batteries have low cost, so distilled water needs to be added regularly to supplement electrolyte for maintenance to ensure normal use. The other is a maintenance-free battery, which consumes very little electrolyte and basically does not need to be supplemented with distilled water during its service life, making it more convenient to use. The service life of general maintenance-free batteries is about 4-5 years, and the price is higher than that of ordinary lead-acid batteries. However, with the development of science and technology, some brands of lead-acid batteries have made great progress than before, and their service life is not lower than that of maintenance-free batteries, and there is no need to replenish electrolyte regularly under normal use.

How to distinguish between ordinary lead-acid and maintenance-free batteries

Nissan Dongfeng Nissan Tiida 2011 1.6L CVT Luxury Model

  Ordinary lead-acid batteries need to replenish electrolyte regularly, so there is a unscrewing liquid replenishment port at the top of the battery. On the contrary, the maintenance-free battery does not, so the surface is flat. In addition, the batteries of many vehicles in the market are placed in dust-proof boxes, and the batteries can only be seen after opening the dust-proof boxes.

Several important data of battery:

Rated voltage:In general, the voltage of household car batteries is 12V.

Capacity:It represents the amount of electricity discharged by the battery under certain conditions (discharge rate, temperature, termination voltage, etc.). Generally, the capacity unit of an automobile battery is Ah. For example, a battery with a capacity of 45Ah can continuously discharge for 45 hours if the continuous discharge current is 1A. The higher the capacity of the battery, the better, otherwise it will affect the use of automotive electrical equipment. Of course, the higher the capacity of the battery, the higher the price.

Low temperature starting current (CCA):In addition to the above two data, there is also a mark "CCA" on the battery, which indicates the starting current that the battery can provide to the engine at low temperature. That is, the value is the current discharged by the battery before the limit feed voltage when the battery is discharged at -17.8℃ for 30 seconds. For example, a 12V battery case is marked with CCA value of 450, which means that at -17.8℃, before the voltage drops to 7.2V, it can provide 450A current for 30 seconds.

At present, common standards for naming commonly used battery models:

First, based on the national GB standard, taking the battery of model 6-QAW-54a as an example, the explanation is as follows:

6: It is composed of six single-cell batteries, and the voltage of each single-cell battery is 2V, that is, the rated voltage is 12V;;
Q: indicates the purpose of the battery, Q is the battery for automobile starting, M is the battery for motorcycle, JC is the battery for ship, HK is the battery for aviation, D is the battery for electric vehicle, and F is the battery for valve control;
A and W: indicate the type of battery, A indicates dry-load battery, W indicates maintenance-free battery, and if it is not marked, it indicates ordinary battery;
54: indicates that the rated capacity of the battery is 54Ah;
Corner A means the first improvement of the original product, and corner B means the second improvement after the name, and so on. (Note: adding D after the model indicates good low-temperature starting performance, such as 6-QA-110D).

Second, based on Japanese JIS standard.For example, the meaning of battery parameters with model "38B20L" is analyzed as follows:

38: Indicates the performance parameters of the battery. The larger the number, the more power the battery can store. (Note: the numerical value has nothing to do with the capacity)
B: code indicating the width and height of the battery. The combination of the width and height of the battery is represented by one of eight letters (A to H). The closer the letter is to H, the greater the width and height of the battery.
20: indicates that the length of the battery is about 20cm.
L: indicates the position of the positive terminal. Seen from the battery pole, the positive terminal is marked R at the right end and L at the left end.

Third, based on the German DIN standardFor example, the meaning of each parameter of the battery with model "CCA 660" is analyzed as follows:

CCA: indicates low-temperature starting current.
660: indicates that the low-temperature starting current value is 660 amps.


2013 Buick Excelle

Buick GM Buick Excelle 2013 1.5L automatic exclusive type

Buick GM Buick Excelle 2013 1.5L Manual Classic

  Excelle is a veteran of the compact car market. In 2013, the manufacturer made a small change to it. Although the appearance changed little, it replaced a brand-new power system, which greatly improved its fuel economy. However, the manufacturer did not replace the battery of Excelle because of changing the power system, but still purchased the maintenance-free battery of the well-known brand ACDelco, with a capacity of 55Ah and a low-temperature starting current of 610A, which is enough for a 1.5-liter model. However, the price of this battery in Buick 4S store is not cheap, and 650 yuan is still much more expensive than the market price. In addition, the working hours in 50 yuan mean that if you choose to replace the battery for Excelle in 4S store, it will cost 700 yuan in total.

2013 Buick Angola ENCORE

Buick GM Buick Angola ENCORE2013 1.4T manual two-wheel drive enterprising

  Angola ENCORE is a small SUV launched by Buick in October 2012. Its appearance broke the market structure and further lowered the threshold of SUV, so that consumers with a budget of only 100,000 yuan can also buy a stylish, well-equipped, powerful and joint-venture SUV with a four-wheel drive system.

Buick GM Buick Angola ENCORE2013 1.4T automatic four-wheel drive flagship model

  Buick Angola ENCORE uses a power combination of 1.4T+6AT, which has good acceleration performance and smoothness. The battery it uses is also from ACDelco (the specific model is unknown), but the capacity and low-temperature starting current are different from those of Excelle. It has a capacity of 60Ah, a low-temperature starting current of 438A, a 4S shop price of 605 yuan, and a working hour fee of 665 yuan in 60 yuan, which is cheaper than Excelle.

2013 Shanghai Volkswagen New Santana

Volkswagen Shanghai Volkswagen New Santana 2013 1.6L Automatic Deluxe Edition

  Santana is a famous name for Chinese people. However, the new Santana launched in 2012 has nothing to do with the "previous generation" models in essence. It is a product from PQ25 platform, and should belong to the same level as POLO. However, due to its long body size and wheelbase, we will classify it as a compact car for the time being. It has been proved that its interior space is not less than that of most compact cars.

Volkswagen Shanghai Volkswagen New Santana 2013 1.6L Automatic Deluxe Edition

  The new Santana has two power options: 1.4-liter and 1.6-liter, and the 6AT gearbox is one of its highlights. The new Santana adopts valta 5KD 915 105C battery, which is consistent with models such as POLO and Skoda Jingrui. The capacity of this battery is 51Ah, the low-temperature starting current is 480A, the price of 4S is 622 yuan, the working time is 70 yuan, and the total cost of replacing the battery is 692 yuan. In addition, because there is a circuit board on the battery surface of Volkswagen series models, it is a little troublesome to disassemble and replace it.

2012 Speed Sharp 1.5T Model

BYD BYD Surui 2012 1.5TID automatic luxury model

  BYD is the first manufacturer in its own brand to adopt turbocharged engine and dual-clutch gearbox technology, and its brand influence has been greatly improved. Speed sharp has won the attention of the media and the public with its unprecedented remote control technology. Although there is still a lot of room for improvement in the ride comfort of the fast-sharp dual-clutch gearbox, the power of the 1.5T turbocharged engine is excellent. Coupled with its rich configuration performance, BYD Speed Sharp’s comprehensive strength is quite strong.

BYD BYD Surui 2012 1.5TID automatic luxury model

  Because of its high configuration, remote control technology and remote engine starting technology, it has higher requirements for batteries. The original factory of Surui is equipped with valta 80D26L battery, with a capacity of 70Ah and a low-temperature starting current of 600A. These parameters are completely comparable to those of medium-sized cars. However, its battery price is relatively expensive. The price quoted by the 4S shop is 654 yuan, and the total cost of replacing 30 yuan is 684 yuan.

2013 Dongfeng Citroen C4L

Citroen Dongfeng Citroen C4L2013 1.8L automatic gallop version

  Although C4L has not been listed for a long time, it has left a deep impression on people with its powerful power of 1.6T and spacious and comfortable ride. C4L is a rising star in the compact car market. Its biggest highlight is the 1.6T engine jointly developed by PSA and BMW. This engine was also awarded the title of "Top Ten International Engines in 2013" some time ago.

Citroen Dongfeng Citroen C4L2013 1.6THP Auto Smart Edition

  The battery of C4L is almost covered by a whole circuit board, so it is difficult to see the brand and parameters of the battery from the outside. Through our contact with the 4S store, we know that the battery used in C4L is no different from the previous Sega, both of which are Bosch L2-400 maintenance-free batteries, with a capacity of 60Ah and a low-temperature starting current of 640A. The price of accessories is 490 yuan and the working hours are 96 yuan, and the total price is a little more expensive than Sega.

2013 Dongfeng peugeot 3008

Peugeot Dongfeng Peugeot Peugeot Peugeot 30082013 1.6THP roland garros Edition

  3008 is the first SUV launched by Dongfeng Peugeot. From the current attention and sales volume, it should be regarded as a successful model. I think its success is first attributed to the correct positioning of the 3008 by the manufacturer. Although it is derived from the compact car platform, the space and workmanship are not worse than those of mainstream SUVs such as CR-V and Tiguan, and the price is lower than them, so it is not surprising that the 3008 sells well.

Peugeot Dongfeng Peugeot Peugeot Peugeot 30082013 1.6THP automatic version

  3008 and C4L use the same power system, so their batteries are basically the same, which has been verified in the previous Sega and 308. Under normal circumstances, Citroen or Peugeot will have two battery suppliers, Bosch and Camel. The C4L introduced above uses Bosch’s battery, and the 3008 we investigated this time just uses the camel battery of the same L2-400 model, with the same capacity and low-temperature starting current as C4L, which are 60Ah and 640A respectively. However, the price of batteries in Peugeot 4S shop is relatively cheaper, with the price of accessories in 480 yuan and the working hours in 100 yuan, totaling 580 yuan.

2013 GAC Toyota Camry

Toyota GAC Toyota Camry 2012 2.5V Extreme Navigation Edition

  The seventh generation Camry used tougher lines, which made it look younger and more athletic. However, its appearance doesn’t seem to get much recognition, so that its sales volume is not as good as before. In fact, if you carefully observe this generation of Camry, you will find that it has made great progress in appearance and interior texture. More importantly, the 6-speed automatic manual transmission has finally become the standard configuration of the 2.5-liter model (except the hybrid version). On the whole, its overall strength has been significantly improved compared with the previous generation.

Toyota GAC Toyota Camry 2012 Junrui 2.5S Atom Edition

  Japanese cars have always used local brand parts, and almost all batteries are maintenance-free. For example, Camry uses Hitachi brand non-maintenance-free batteries, with a capacity of 65Ah and a low-temperature starting current of 630A A. From the parameter point of view, this battery is not bad. In fact, 4S stores call this battery "maintenance-free and refillable", and its service life is about 4-5 years, which is equivalent to maintenance-free batteries. According to the 4S shop, this battery does not need to be added with electrolyte during its service life under normal use. However, if it is not used properly, such as when the vehicle is parked for a long time, or listening to music when the engine is turned off, this battery may lose power and need to be supplemented with electrolyte when necessary. The quotation of this battery 4S shop is 695 yuan, and the replacement time is 80 yuan, with a total cost of 775 yuan.

  As another best-selling Japanese car in the medium-sized car market, Teana has also undergone a generation change in the previous period. In addition to the new design of the exterior and interior, the biggest change of the new generation Teana is to replace the previous 2.5-liter V6 engine with a 2.5-liter L4 engine. Although two cylinders were reduced, the new L4 engine did not lose to the previous V6 engine in terms of parameters, and the fuel economy was improved.

  The new Teana adopts the non-maintenance-free battery of GS (Uni-President) brand, its capacity is 62Ah, and the low-temperature starting current is 582A. Compared with the Camry just introduced, Teana is slightly worse in battery parameters, but it will not affect the daily car. In addition, the price of battery replacement in Nissan 4S shop is slightly lower than that of Camry, in which the price of accessories is 590 yuan and the working hours are only 48 yuan.

  Although Chevrolet Mai Rui Bao has a history of many years in the United States, it is still a young model that just debuted in China. However, in the highly competitive medium-sized car market, Mai Rui Bao has gradually gained a foothold with its balanced strength and high cost performance. It is indeed a model worthy of recommendation, because its price is comparable to that of compact cars such as sagitar, but it is an out-and-out medium-sized car.

  At present, most family cars on the market use maintenance-free batteries, while only some Japanese manufacturers insist on using non-maintenance-free batteries. However, even today’s non-maintenance-free batteries, in fact, under normal use, there is no need for users to regularly replenish electrolyte, which is as convenient to use as maintenance-free batteries, and their service lives are similar. Judging from the models we investigated in this issue, the batteries they use can reassure consumers in terms of brand and parameters. Only with the increase of purchasing cost, the quotation of 4S stores for batteries is generally high, which is about 200 yuan on average. Therefore, we suggest that if your vehicle has exceeded the warranty period, it is more cost-effective to replace the battery in some regular auto repair shops, provided, of course, that the replaced battery must match the vehicle.

Lei Jun’s Capital Dilemma: How much imagination does Xiaomi’s ecological chain have?

Shanghai securities news, a well-known domestic securities media, once described Xiaomi eco-chain enterprises in "Xiaomi Department": Real Bottleneck and Fantasy Valuation ":

1) Eco-chain enterprises are more like the OEM departments of Xiaomi’s product lines than independent operations;

2) Although the relevant founder is the largest shareholder, the actual control right behind the complicated shareholding structure still belongs to Lei Jun;

3) The high related party transactions make Xiaomi Eco-chain Company and Xiaomi more like a "family".

Since it is a "family", it is common to leverage each other for common development; But once the dependence is formed, it greatly increases the difficulty of capitalization.

As the largest ecological chain group in China, Lei Jun and many enterprises in its Xiaomi ecological chain once dreamed of going to the distant capital market. Now, they have to face the cold reality because the regulators are not stupid.

More than 20 days ago, the proposal of all-magic acoustic backdoor under Xiaomi Ecological Chain was rejected by CSRC, and the right and wrong of Xiaomi Ecological Chain and the ultimate trend of Xiaomi Empire were once again put before the public.

There are two main audit opinions of the M&A Committee of CSRC:

1) The company’s disclosure that the actual controller of Wanmo Acoustics has not changed in recent three years is not sufficient;

2) The sales and profit sources of Wanmo Acoustics are highly dependent on related parties.

If you don’t quite understand the meaning of these two sentences, then compare them with the three descriptions of shanghai securities news above.

In fact, this seemingly dull veto has dealt a fatal blow to Lei Jun and Xiaomi’s eco-chain, and also intuitively demonstrated many business dilemmas of eco-chain enterprises pointed out by the Shanghai Stock Exchange in its report:

Single product structure, serious related party transactions, lack of independent pricing power, excessive dependence of brands and channels on Xiaomi, and doubts about the stability of ownership structure …

The Shanghai Stock Exchange pointed out that "from the business, it is increasingly difficult for eco-chain enterprises and Xiaomi to be independent of each other; From the perspective of capital market rules, eco-chain enterprises may not be listed separately. " If Xiaomi is listed on the A-share market, it will face the problem of related party transactions, and the listing of eco-chain enterprises will face the question of independence.

Serious financial contact interviewed relevant people of Xiaomi Group, and no reply was received as of press time.

01

The backdoor is denied, whose magic acoustics?

The first reason why the CSRC vetoed the backdoor of Wanmo Acoustics is:The company’s disclosure that the actual controller of Wanmo Acoustics has not changed in the past three years is not sufficient.

Translate this sentence as follows:Tell me honestly, who is the boss of Wanmo Acoustics?

In fact, the matter itself is not complicated.

According to the equity change report disclosed by electroacoustic, Wanmo Acoustics was established in October 2013. In December 2016, Xiaomi began to invest in Wanmo Acoustics, mainly producing Xiaomi piston headphones for Xiaomi OEM.

Up to now, Gary Hsieh holds 20.9408% equity of Wanmo Acoustics by adding Hong Kong, HKmore, Wanmo Guanxing, Wanmo Yingren, Wanmo Renju, Wanmo Shuntian and Wanmo Hengqing, and is the actual controller of Wanmo Acoustics on paper.

According to the inquiry announcement, in the historical shareholding change of Wanmo Acoustics, People Better Limited once became the largest shareholder of the company, with a shareholding ratio of 33.32% and a majority of the board seats. The CSRC asked it to supplement whether the actual controller of the company has changed.

In this regard, Wanmo Acoustics replied that the change in shareholding ratio is only the adjustment of the red-chip structure, and the financial investors do not participate in the actual operation, and the actual controller has always been Gary Hsieh. However, supervision is still in doubt.

Why do regulators cling to this issue?

According to the understanding and application of Article 12 of the Measures for the Administration of Initial Public Offering and Listing of Stocks —— Opinions on the Application of Securities and Futures Law No.1 (Zheng Jian Zi [2007] No.15, hereinafter referred to as Opinions on the Application of Securities and Futures Law No.1), the CSRC defines the company’s control right as:

(Source: Official Document of CSRC)

Generally speaking, the identification of the actual controller is based on the principle of "substance is more important than form" and combined with the specific analysis of individual cases.

There are two unavoidable problems:

1) Is the big boss of the company Xiaomi or Gary Hsieh? This is related to the change of ownership structure.

2) Who has the final say in the actual operation of Wanmo? Is it the millet that hatched it, or Gary Hsieh?

According to the description of the absorbed party in the electro-acoustic absorption scheme, People Better Limited was once the largest shareholder of Wanmo Acoustics and held a majority of seats. According to public information,People Better Limited is a subsidiary of Xiaomi Technology Co., Ltd., and the actual controller of Xiaomi Technology is Lei Jun.

(Source: A total of electroacoustic history announcements)

Shunwei, another shareholder of Wanmo Acoustics, Xu Dalai is the actual controller and the former non-executive director of Xiaomi Technology, but as we all know, Lei Jun is the big boss of Shunwei Capital.

(Source: Historical Announcement)

Back to July 31st, 2017, Xiaomi’s People Better Limited and Shunwei TMT(HongKong) Limited invested 16,611,600 yuan and 10,509,300 yuan respectively, holding 33.22% and 21.02% of the shares, with a total holding of 54.24%, and the proper largest shareholder plus the actual controller.

(Source: A total of electroacoustic history announcements)

After several rounds of capital increase and equity transfer,Up to now, the shareholding ratios of People Better Limited and Shunwei TMT(HongKong) Limited are 11.15% and 7.19% respectively, making a total of 18.34%, second only to Gary Hsieh’s 20.9408%.

What is the inner feeling behind the arrangement and change of this ownership structure? Is there a proxy? As a result, Gary Hsieh is only the nominal actual controller? After the evaluation benchmark date announced in the draft merger plan, People Better Limited and Shunwei TMT(HongKong) Limited continued to reduce their shareholding ratio. What is the purpose?

The answers to these questions are the core of the regulatory authorities’ continuous questioning of the actual controller of Wanmo Acoustics.

02

Business dependence and related party transactions rely on Xiaomi to make money?

Regarding the second question that the CSRC is concerned about:The sales and profit sources of Wanmo Acoustics are highly dependent on related parties.This problem is also unavoidable for any party.

Backed by Xiaomi’s powerful channels and traffic, the compound growth rate of Wanmo Acoustics revenue in the past three years is as high as 47%.

However, this performance growth has also caused Wanmo Acoustics to rely on Xiaomi’s performance.

During the reporting period, the sales proportion of the top five customers of Wanmo Acoustics in 2016 -2018 was 86.01%, 83.17% and 83.54% respectively. Among them, Xiaomi Group is a related party and the company’s largest customer, with sales accounting for 59.45%, 64.24% and 60.12% respectively.

You can understand that if there is no Xiaomi, the performance of Wanmo Acoustics will collapse by at least half.

Moreover, such high correlation and dependence also lead to the lack of autonomy in sales channels and product pricing of Wanmo Acoustics:

  • Wanmo Acoustics sells Xiaomi ODM products to Xiaomi Communication according to the cost price, but the cost audit is checked by Xiaomi Communication;

  • Wanmo Acoustics does not have the independent right to set the retail price of Xiaomi ODM products. The products are sold by Xiaomi according to the fair market price, and the profit is divided into 50%.

It is this dependence and lack of relative autonomy in the main business that determines profits that makes Wanmo’s profitability lower than that of similar companies.

According to the report of Securities Market Weekly, the historical data of Wanmo Acoustics shows that,The gross profit margin of ODM headphones is 23.89% to 27.56%, while that of OBM (private brand) headphones is 33.59% to 38.14%.

In the case that ODM accounts for more than half of the revenue (57.65% in the first half of 2019), most of the surplus value of Wanmo acoustic products is "deprived" by downstream customers, namely Xiaomi.

Business dependence, related party transactions, combined with the CSRC’s questioning of the actual controller of Wanmo Acoustics, it is not difficult for us to understand the real intention of the regulatory authorities to be so cautious.

Behind this is actually a cliche:Why do regulators attach so much importance to related party transactions?

Due to the sales and purchases with related parties, there may be accommodation or even fraud in terms of price, payment method and account period. A large proportion of related party transactions will distort the company’s financial data, which is not conducive to investors’ accurate judgment. At the same time, there are risks such as interest transfer, which is likely to damage the interests of listed companies and thus the interests of investors.

In order to protect the interests of investors, especially small and medium-sized investors, the regulatory authorities are particularly strict in the disclosure management of related party transactions.

However, as an independent enterprise, Wanmo Acoustics is not convincing enough in its sustainable management ability and independence.

03

Capitalization is difficult. Is the label "Xiaomi" an assist or an obstacle?

The problem of magic acoustics is also common in Xiaomi ecological chain enterprises:

1) The adjustment of ownership structure has experienced the changes in equity process from Xiaomi Holdings to Xiaomi’s shareholding;

2) In terms of business structure, Xiaomi is both a related party and the largest customer.

According to the report of Shanghai Stock Exchange, Huami Technology also has the same subtle equity arrangement as Wanmo Acoustics. According to its prospectus, the company’s largest single shareholder is Huami CEO Huang Wang, holding 39.4% of the shares; Shunwei Capital holds 20.4%, and Xiaomi’s fund People Better limited holds 19.3%. Shunwei Capital and Xiaomi are controlled by Lei Jun.. Therefore, although Huang Wang is the largest natural person shareholder, Lei Jun’s consolidated shareholding ratio is 39.7%, which has surpassed Huang Wang.

In addition, judging from the disclosed prospectus, the performance of Huami also reflects that Xiaomi is highly dependent on the eco-chain company: in the first three quarters of 2015, 2016 and 2017, the revenue contributed by mi band to Huami Technology was 870 million yuan, 1.434 billion yuan and 1.068 billion yuan respectively, accounting for 97.1%, 92.1% and 82.4% of Huami Technology’s revenue in the same period.

Coincidentally, Roborock, another typical enterprise of Xiaomi Eco-chain, also experienced repeated inquiries and verification by the regulatory authorities before listing in science and technology innovation board.

According to the prospectus, Roborock’s gross profit margin in recent three years was 19.21%, 21.64% and 28.79% respectively, while Cobos’s gross profit margin remained at around 36%. In terms of splitting, the gross profit margin of its own brand products is 42.06% higher than that of Cobos, but the gross profit margin of "Mijia Robot" produced for Xiaomi is 14.99%, which lowers the average gross profit of the company.

In addition, there are ten business risks related to Xiaomi’s cooperation mode in the prospectus, involving a large number of related transactions, ODM business dependence, foundry selection and so on.

It can be seen that the two fatal problems of the rejection of Wanmo Acoustics also exist in Roborock and Huami Science and Technology.

Looking back on the development of Xiaomi’s ecological chain, Xiaomi and the ecological chain company have achieved mutual success.

Starting from Xiaomi itself, the products of these eco-chain enterprises support the high efficiency of Xiaomi’s offline channels and greatly share the operating costs of offline stores; As for the "world’s largest intelligent hardware IOT platform" planned by Lei Jun for Xiaomi, the mobile phone is only one of the terminals, and the "data" and "control" of products of a number of eco-chain enterprises are also the core of the platform.

To this end, Xiaomi’s approach is:Investing in eco-chain companies, splitting the product departments that should exist into eco-chain companies, and finally making Xiaomi’s shareholding equal to that of the founders of eco-chain companies through ingenious equity design, thus achieving the status quo of controlling these eco-chain companies and seemingly "independent".

According to this capital path, "eco-chain enterprises" will be listed independently, and Xiaomi will convert the business income of its multi-product lines into investment income. At the same time, there will be a number of listed companies in the whole system of Xiaomi, which will open up new space for the capital operation of Xiaomi.

This is the capital imagination of Xiaomi and its ecological chain.

But in the process of capitalization, the disadvantages of ecological chain are gradually emerging:

  • Eco-chain enterprises are more like the OEM departments of Xiaomi’s product lines. They have no independent pricing power and product autonomy. Their own brand channels and capital are weaker than the OEM model, and their independent operation is doubtful.
  • In terms of shareholding structure, although the relevant founder is the largest shareholder. However, tracing back to the actual control right behind the complex ownership structure, there are Lei Jun or Xiaomi, and problems such as A-shares and related party transactions cannot be avoided.

From this perspective, the independent development of eco-chain enterprises may be a good wish from the beginning.

Ford CEO: We will also launch a low-priced pickup truck, which will be listed in three years to compete with BYD!

According to media reports, Ford C.EO Jim Farley (Jim Farley)The new electric pickup truck will compete with China’s competitors, especially in terms of production cost. However, it is expected that the model will not be available until three years later.


 

Ford lost billions of dollars in the field of electric vehicles in the first half of 2024, and further efforts are needed to improve profitability.

Jim Farley"It will be compared with China products made in Mexico in the future," he said. He added: "60% of the material cost has been calculated." He stressed that he clearly knew the production cost of the new model.

It is expected that the new medium-sized electric truck will directly compete with BYD "Shark" and other electric pickup trucks. In the scheme of reducing costs, the flexible platform of internal battery assembly and sharing on multiple models is proposed.


 

Jim FarleyRecently, it praised the platform that Ford is developing, and said that it will be used in many electric vehicle models in the future, and commented that together with related platforms, Michigan will start producing LFP batteries in 2026, and the prospect is positive.

However, it has also been pointed out that the time to market is a problem. Ford has changed the electric vehicle plan many times and made different responses to the electric vehicle market, including canceling the three-row electric SUV and diversifying the hybrid vehicles.


 

The medium-sized electric pickup truck named "T3 Project" will be launched at the end of 2027, but no other more information is provided.

Ford plans to produce vehicles in Tennessee, while BYD is considering establishing production facilities in Mexico, with an estimated annual production capacity of 150,000 vehicles.

On May 14th, 2024, SHARK, BYD’s first new energy pickup truck, was officially released in Mexico. This car will be equipped with the same DM-O hybrid system of Equation Leopard, which will be officially released in 2024. DMO is an off-road platform mainly driven by electricity, and both the engine and EHS hybrid system of DMO platform adopt vertical layout.


 

BYD plans SHARK.The pickup truck will be listed in the global market early next year, and the estimated vehicle price is about $55,000. This is the current competitive price with Ford Ranger and Toyota Highlux, and Ford needs to build a more competitive electric pickup truck. If the vehicle launch time is delayed for more than 3 years, it is still a question how competitive the relevant models can be in the market. ???

"One Car, Four Servants" is scheduled for November 16th, laughing and "carpooling" to celebrate the New Year in advance!

  Recently, the urban comedy "One Car and Four Servants" starring Wang Zijian, Hu Xinger, Yuan Chengjie and Fuxiang Zhong officially released a poster and a preview, which will land in the national cinema on November 16th to celebrate the New Year in advance.

  In the finalized poster, Wang Zijian, dressed in a suit, looks like a successful person, while Hu Xinger holds a baseball bat and is full of women’s breath; Yuan Chengjie incarnates as a small white-collar worker in the city, and Fuxiang Zhong is full of stories. Four people with different identities, standing or sitting, standing or lying down, gather in a car, and it seems that a happy drama will be staged. The title of "One Car with Four Servants" shows that a complicated and interesting New Year comedy will be staged between the four people.

  In the era when Pinduoduo is rampant, you have to organize a group to buy an apple. In order to save some poor wages, white-collar workers with tight funds poured into the "group army". In "One Car and Four Servants", Wang Zijian, Hu Xinger and other four people started a bolder attempt &mdash; &mdash; Fight for a car.

  In the preview, Wang Zijian, a small boss in the wine business, Hu Xinger, a fashion designer who runs a personal studio, Fuxiang Zhong, a diaosi actor who wants to be a big star, and Yuan Chengjie, a car enthusiast, all need a luxury car as a facade for various reasons. However, the four people who are short of money can’t afford a luxury car, so by chance, four people who met by accident suddenly had a whim to buy a car in partnership, and a strange "car owner" was formed. The luxury car brought surprises to the ordinary life of the four people, but it caused a series of troubles, and the original beautiful life became unpredictable embarrassment and embarrassment.

  The ideal has always been beautiful, but the reality is often very bad. On the road of carpooling, the four protagonists not only have to face frequent financial crises and internal frictions, but also the "pit car group" composed of more than a dozen gold comedians is the strength to steal the mirror. All kinds of unexpected surprises make several protagonists feel at a loss and full of jokes. On November 16th, "One Car and Four Servants" celebrated the New Year in advance, and brought you a wild smile!

How is the construction progress of the pilot area of vehicle networking?

  Since the beginning of this year, the society’s attention to the Internet of Vehicles has been continuously improved, and the construction of national-level car networking pilot areas has continued to accelerate. At present, seven places have been approved to create a national-level car networking pilot area. What is the construction situation of the pilot area? What other aspects should be exerted by combining local advantages with development planning?

  Give full play to the advantages of geographic information

  Recently, the 2023 National Intelligent Driving Test Competition (Yangtze River Delta Division) started in Zhejiang Deqing Intelligent Networked Automobile Test Site. As an important supporting activity of the 2023 World Intelligent Networked Automobile Congress, this event includes a number of special events, including autonomous driving, production cars, car networking safety, etc., with a total of 16 test items, which attracted many brand car companies to compete in the same field.

  Why did this national event land in the small town of Deqing? As the first national-level vehicle networking pilot zone in China, Deqing relies on the advantages of geographic information industry agglomeration to constantly break through industrial boundaries and promote the cross-border integration and development of geographic information and vehicle networking industries. It is reported that Deqing Intelligent Networked Vehicle Test Site, covering an area of 172 mu, is the only public test site in Zhejiang Province that meets both bicycle intelligence and intelligent network testing. Since the completion of the test site, 28 autopilot test licenses have been issued to 20 enterprises. In addition, Deqing also completed the intelligent transformation of 181.6 kilometers of multi-road scenes, and the 949.3 kilometers of roads in the whole region were open for testing.

  Deqing is the highland of global geographic information industry gathering and the source of innovation, with the support of spatio-temporal information and the exploration of vehicle-Lu Yun integration technology at the forefront. "The technology of intelligent networked vehicles is constantly developing, and it is highly dependent on safe and reliable basic geographic information data. Deqing has taken precautions and laid a solid foundation for the development of intelligent networked vehicles industry." Zhu Xichan, a professor at Tongji University Automotive College, believes.

  Since the beginning of this year, Deqing has introduced 26 geographic information industry chain extension projects, 6 intelligent networked auto parts projects with a price of over 300 million yuan, and 7 completed projects. 32 leading enterprises, such as Founder Electric and Mache Technology, have settled in Deqing, and the upstream and downstream industries, such as geographic information, testing and verification, and unmanned low-speed vehicle production, have been gradually improved.

  Chihiro Location Company, which settled in Deqing, is the construction and operator of the national Beidou foundation reinforcement system. In April this year, Chihiro released the "Full Link Map of Beidou Spatio-temporal Intelligence Basic Capability", which marked that all the key links of Beidou Spatio-temporal Intelligence application were opened. At present, 23 mass-produced cars, such as SAIC, Tucki and Ideality, are equipped with Chihiro’s location and time-space intelligent service, with a cumulative service time of over 200 million hours.

  "The centimeter-level high-precision positioning technology was originally only used in the niche and professional surveying and mapping fields. Entering the field of car networking is not a simple transplant and copying, but a revolutionary transformation." Nian Jinfei, general manager of Chihiro Location Intelligent Driving Division, believes that the bottleneck of intelligent driving comes from collaborative infrastructure construction. In the next step, the enterprise will strengthen cooperation with Deqing and accelerate the implementation of the collaborative development of Beidou Road.

  Geographic information and global opening are the two major advantages of Deqing’s car networking industry development. "It is necessary to give full play to the first-Mover advantage of the geographic information industry, and continue to explore from the aspects of intelligent infrastructure optimization and upgrading, cloud control platform construction, and application scenario deepening, and form more experiences and practices that can be replicated and promoted." Tang Xianguo, director of the Dixin Development Center of Moganshan High-tech Zone in Huzhou, said. (Reporter Liu Wen)

  Expand more application scenarios

  Recently, a new energy commercial heavy truck model of Shiqiao Intelligent Technology (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. is being tested in the closed test field of Tianjin (Xiqing) national vehicle networking pilot area, and at the same time, there are more than 10 brands of new energy vehicles waiting for testing.

  "This year, facilities such as straight roads that meet European standards will be built at the testing site to meet the export testing needs of independent automobile brands in China. At present, some new energy vehicles have passed more than 200 test items such as automatic emergency braking and lane departure, and are eligible for listing. This year, a new power station was added to meet the charging and replacing test requirements of new models. " Han Bing, senior manager of the cockpit networking department of Shiqiao Intelligent Technology (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. said.

  Tianjin (Xiqing) National Vehicle Networking Pilot Zone was established at the end of 2019, and a three-level test service system of 14.5 million km virtual test site, 1,475 mu closed test site and 24.5 km open test road was built, forming a complete closed loop of intelligent networked vehicle R&D and testing. "Tianjin (Xiqing) National Vehicle Networking Pilot Area has completed the intelligent upgrade of 408 intersections in Xiqing, realizing holographic perception of road traffic information, real-time data processing and multi-point service." Jiang Hongyi, a staff member of Tianjin (Xiqing) National Vehicle Networking Pilot Zone, said. As one of the national-level vehicle networking pilot areas in northern China, Tianjin (Xiqing) vehicle networking pilot area has accumulated experience in infrastructure renovation, digital platform construction and application scenarios, and further helped the rapid evolution of vehicle-road coordination to vehicle-city coordination.

  Zhang Yanan, chief expert of China Automotive Technology and Research Center Co., Ltd., believes that the Internet of Vehicles is a complete closed loop formed by vehicles, roads, infrastructure and software algorithms. The integration of intelligent transportation into life will bring about industrial changes in more fields such as automobiles.

  Xie Hui, director of the Unmanned Intersection Research Center of Tianjin University, said that not long ago, 48 enterprises including the Unmanned Intersection Research Center of Tianjin University, Zhongqi Zhilian Technology Co., Ltd. and Tianjin Huancheng City Infrastructure Investment Co., Ltd. displayed 24 intelligent networking facilities in Xiqing District, such as unmanned patrol guide cars, unmanned delivery cars and solar photovoltaic panels to charge unmanned vehicles, and planned to use more abundant vehicle networking application scenarios in time walk for one year.

  In Tianjin (Xiqing), there are still many test and application scenarios of intelligent driving to create a national-level car networking pilot zone. JD.COM unmanned logistics delivery vehicle in Zhangjiawo Town, Xiqing District has been in normal operation for 2 years. Gu Yunbiao, deputy director of Tianjin Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, said that by the end of 2023, the key roads in Xiqing District will strive to realize the open road of vehicle networking. By the end of 2024, Tianjin will strive to achieve 1000 kilometers of open roads, and take Xiqing District as the leader and the construction of the pilot area as the traction to accelerate the development of car networking.

Is there no chance for the rise of artificial intelligence and mobile Internet?

  On November 15th, at the 3rd world internet conference Internet Light Expo in Jiaxing, Zhejiang, more than 300 Chinese and foreign Internet companies showed their strengths. Photo courtesy of vision china

  At the just-concluded Third world internet conference, Wang Xiaochuan, CEO of sogou Company, showed a black technology at the Mobile Internet Forum &mdash; &mdash; During the speech, Chinese-English translation was synchronized through machine speech recognition, and Chinese and English subtitles kept scrolling on the big screen behind him. After that, there are endless discussions about whether artificial intelligence machines can replace simultaneous interpretation.

  Wang Xue, a simultaneous interpreter, has been asked this question by several people. This time, even she felt that her career was threatened: "Well, I’m going to lose my job."

  "I didn’t believe in big data before, but now I believe it more and more." She believes that except for creative translation of literature, most other translation work can be replaced by artificial intelligence as long as it is based on a database of sufficient magnitude. "For example, Google’s machine translation has basically replaced humans in some fields."

  From simultaneous interpreters who have just worked for two years to technology giants Li Yanhong, Yang Yuanqing and Ma Huateng, whether artificial intelligence will replace human work and the development of mobile Internet has become a real change behind the binary code from a joke under the white wall of Wuzhen.

  "The next scene is artificial intelligence."

  At this year’s Wuzhen world internet conference, the attention of the outside world on the topic of artificial intelligence was triggered by Baidu CEO Li Yanhong. He believes that in the past, the development path obtained by the growth of Internet users was "unreliable", and it is no longer possible to have unicorn-level startups by the enthusiasm of the mobile Internet, and the real rise of the Internet of Things is not far off, and each of us will change because of the arrival of artificial intelligence.

  One of the reasons for Li Yanhong’s judgment is that the mobile Internet market has entered a relatively stable stage of development. According to the data of China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), as of June 2016, there were 710 million netizens in China, and the Internet penetration rate was 51.7%, up 1.3 percentage points from the end of 2015.

  "The dividend period of the mobile Internet has basically ended, and the next scene is artificial intelligence." This is not the first time that Li Yanhong has expressed optimism and expectation for the future of artificial intelligence. At the 2016 Yabuli China Entrepreneur Forum Summer Summit held in August this year and the Baidu World Congress held in September, Li Yanhong clearly expressed his emphasis on artificial intelligence.

  Li Yanhong’s prediction is even a bit bold: "In the future, all manufacturing industries will belong to the artificial intelligence industry, or the Internet of Things industry. All goods must be able to be networked, and they must be able to send data back to the cloud. These technologies must be analyzed through artificial intelligence technology, so that it can bring tangible value to our consumers and our users. "

  Yang Yuanqing, chairman and CEO of Lenovo Group, and Li Yanhong have the same idea. In his speech entitled "Embracing the New Era of Smart Internet", Yang Yuanqing pointed out that the Internet is entering a new stage of development from PC Internet and mobile Internet, that is, the era of smart Internet.

  Yang Yuanqing’s idea is more specific: "Smart devices have become ubiquitous from limited types such as computers and mobile phones, and a steady stream of data has gathered from terminals to the cloud, while artificial intelligence with self-learning ability has become more and more intelligent by constantly reading and analyzing these data."

  Based on these judgments, Yang Yuanqing also described a smarter life in the future: home appliances, office equipment, and traveling cars are no longer machines that passively follow instructions to perform calculations, but will be considerate of you and actively serve you. Even the houses and cities where people live will become smarter and more active. For example, windows will adjust themselves according to the outdoor climate, the temperature in the city, lighting, etc. The traffic management system of the city may be connected with the navigation and driving system of the car, thus greatly reducing congestion.

  Big bosses verbally affirmed artificial intelligence, and the Internet giants behind them were busy trying more intelligent new technologies.

  Lenovo launched MotoZ, which turned the mobile phone into an open platform for hardware. Through unified standards, the mobile phone can be connected to more hardware devices, and then connected to more cloud services. Now it can be connected with JBL speakers and Hasselblad modules; During the period of world internet conference, Baidu unmanned vehicle first carried out open urban road operation in the smart car and smart transportation demonstration zone of Ziye Road, Tongxiang City.

  Artificial intelligence is still in the stage of mental retardation.

  Although the "black technology" of synchronous bilingual subtitle conversion shocked the scene, Wang Xiaochuan also mentioned a concern in the industry: Will artificial intelligence have a third ebb tide?

  According to Zhiyuan Xin’s Report on the Development of Artificial Intelligence Industry in China, since the concept of artificial intelligence was put forward at Dartmouth Conference in 1956, artificial intelligence has developed for 60 years. During the 60 years of development, artificial intelligence has gone through "three ups and three downs": from 1950s to early 1980s, it was still in its birth and basic stage, neuron model was put forward and perceptron was invented; From the 1980s to the early 21st century, artificial intelligence was successfully commercialized but failed to develop by leaps and bounds. Nowadays, with the improvement of computing power brought by Moore’s Law and cloud computing, and the accumulation of massive data brought by the wide application of the Internet and big data, artificial intelligence is expected to achieve large-scale application and will go deep into various fields such as finance, transportation, medical care and industry.

  "Before artificial intelligence ebbed twice, we asked a teacher, do you study artificial intelligence? This is to scold him. " Wang Xiaochuan said that compared with the previous two waves of artificial intelligence, the topic of artificial intelligence was once again hotly debated. Artificial intelligence was really used in many industries for the first time, and a lot of money was invested in it. A large number of researchers also engaged in artificial intelligence work after graduation.

  However, the current development of artificial intelligence still encounters many obstacles that are difficult to solve. Taking Wang Xiaochuan’s proud speech intelligence as an example, the first problem we face is speech recognition and semantic understanding. Wang Xiaochuan found that many technologies can achieve 95% or even 97% recognition in quiet environment, but the recognition rate drops when there is noise. When two people talk at the same time, human beings can easily distinguish the differences, but it is extremely difficult for machines.

  Wang Xiaochuan mentioned that during the testing of a voice intelligent product, they found that the performance of the machine was very poor: the machine asked if it needed a parking space, and the human replied: I don’t have a car. The machine can’t understand this answer.

  Hu Yu, president of Flywheel Value of HKUST and president of iFLYTEK Research Institute, also believes that the current artificial intelligence technology is still in the stage of "mental retardation", and most of them can only reach the level of voice assistants. In order to obtain wisdom similar to or equivalent to the human brain and have the ability to learn independently and draw inferences, artificial intelligence also needs to combine deep learning, big data and other technologies to achieve the "ripple effect" &mdash; &mdash; Through the increase of users, artificial intelligence products can learn and update themselves through real data and experience.

  What is the imagination space for the combination of artificial intelligence and mobile Internet?

  Ma Huateng, CEO of Tencent, is quite cautious about artificial intelligence that has caused heated discussion. He said that artificial intelligence still needs time, and it is still far from the application of all walks of life.

  Ma Huateng said that artificial intelligence is a cloud change and the mobile Internet is a terminal change. Although the growth slope of mobile Internet has slowed down in recent years, its volume is still very large, and there are still many places to innovate. Instead, he feels that there are new opportunities now.

  "The current mobile Internet industry is not like three or four years ago. At that time, it was basically a barrier. If it didn’t pass, it would be finished. At present, the growth gradient may slow down, but there are still new opportunities, such as mobike Bicycle &lsquo; Internet plus Bicycle &rsquo; The mobile terminal suddenly appeared. " Ma Huateng said.

  Ma Huateng believes that although the pace of innovation has slowed down since the development of the mobile Internet era, there are still many opportunities for innovation. Artificial intelligence technology is indeed a new outlet, but compared with the terminal innovation in the mobile Internet era, the innovation of artificial intelligence is reflected in the cloud, and there are still many basic technologies to be accumulated. Internet companies still need to combine their own advantages and do more exploration in the field of artificial intelligence.

  Yang Yuanqing described the future of artificial intelligence in his eyes in two sentences: intelligent terminals will become smarter and smarter, and the combination of intelligent terminals and cloud will be the future development direction.

  In his vision, smart terminals and sensors will be everywhere. Based on the self-learning ability of big data, smart terminals will be extended from today’s very limited types to all devices around people. "Whether it is air conditioners, humidifiers, air purifiers, cameras, cars, machine tools, etc., it will have the ability to calculate storage and network, and it will be modular."

  In addition, Yang Yuanqing also believes that the data of these smart terminals will be gathered in the cloud, and a new understanding will be formed through the evolution of algorithms, so as to remember, learn and analyze these data in a more effective way. Through deep learning, various intelligent terminals will become smarter and more judgmental.

  "If smart terminals are human senses, then the cloud is the brain. The perfect combination of smart terminals and cloud brains is the future direction of artificial intelligence." Yang Yuanqing said.
