Concluding remarks

The development of automobile intelligence is expected to bring trillions of market opportunities. From the current situation, L3 and above autopilot is accelerating penetration, and the demand for high-power autopilot chips is also increasing. In addition to the major enterprises mentioned above, many domestic enterprises such as CAMBRIAN, Zero Run, and Naineng have actively invested in the field of chips.

However, the research and development of autonomous driving chips is a process with huge initial investment and long payback period. Therefore, if there is no loading capacity of 1 million vehicles, it is impossible to make a profit by developing an autopilot chip with the power of a main engine factory and using it by itself.

On the whole, the smart driving chip market is still in a rapid iteration period, and China manufacturers are expected to break through, but they also have to face many uncertainties. Only by firmly grasping the certainty and market rhythm, accelerating the iteration of technology, products and tool chains, and taking the lead in forming a closed-loop business, can we further compete with the global automotive chip giants after squeezing into the table.

There are two identical NPUs in each FSD chip, which have strong computing power and are physically integrated adjacent to each other. In each calculation cycle, NPU will read 256 bytes of activation data from the built-in 32MB SRAM and combine them with another 128 bytes of weight data to enter the multiply-accumulate (MAC), and each NPU has a 96×96MAC array. After completing the MAC multiplication and accumulation operation, the data will be transferred to the Activations and Pooling parts, waiting to write the summary results in the buffer.

Tesla has also made great efforts to optimize the power consumption and cost of NNA (Neural Network Acceleration Unit) in order to make the data flow in the chip as much as possible without frequently reading and writing with memory or other modules. In the design of NNA, software is used to simplify the hardware to reduce the chip cost.

Tesla chips cover everything from autonomous driving, intelligent cockpit, domain control architecture, three electric systems, and even vehicle manufacturing and assembly. From the point of view of autonomous driving, Tesla is the only company that has realized the full-stack self-research of software and hardware at present, taking a technical route that is difficult to replicate. Tesla’s FSD chips are basically for personal use and are not for sale.

Qualcomm

Qualcomm is a mobile phone chip giant, and its entry point in the automotive field is communication and cockpit chips, with its 820A, 8155 and 8295 occupying a major share in the mid-to-high-end smart cockpit market. Previous Snapdragon Ride autopilot computing platforms, including the 5-nanometer Snapdragon 8540 and the 7-nanometer Snapdragon 9000, with a single-chip computing power of 360TOPS, have been put on the bus one after another.

At the beginning of 2023, Qualcomm introduced Snapdragon Ride Flex SoC supporting central computing architecture, which supports digital cockpit, ADAS and autopilot functions at the same time with a single SoC, providing more than 700TOPS of computing power. The first Ride Flex SoC has been sampled and is expected to be mass-produced in 2024.

At present, Qualcomm has reached cooperation with Great Wall, General Motors, BMW, Volkswagen and other manufacturers in the field of autonomous driving. In the future, the Snapdragon Ride platform will be applied to some models of the above-mentioned car factories.

NVIDIA

NVIDIA is a representative of the big computing chip, and has entered the field of smart cars with the evolution of GPU architecture. In NVIDIA’s NVIDIADrive series, DRIVECX faces the cockpit, and DRIVEPX faces autonomous driving; Since then, the automatic driving platforms of DRIVEPX, DRIVEPX2, DrivePXXavier, DRIVEPXPegasus and DRIVEAGX Orin have been introduced iteratively.

DRIVE Orin is a system on a chip released by NVIDIA, and it is the central computer of intelligent vehicles, which can provide 254TOPS per second, meeting the safety standards such as ISO 26262 ASIL-D. In March 2022, NVIDIA’s DRIVEAGX Orin platform began mass production and sales. The platform consists of two Orin SoC and two Ampere-based GPUs, with a maximum computing power of 2000TOPS and a power consumption of 800W W.

Orin SoC adopts 7 nm technology, which is composed of Ampere-based GPU, ARMHerculesCPU, second-generation deep learning accelerator DLA, second-generation vision accelerator PVA, video codec, and ISP with wide dynamic range. At the same time, it introduces the design of SafetyIsland. The hardware of the chip can be connected with 14 cameras, 1 laser radar, 5 millimeter-wave radars and 12 ultrasonic radars, and the sensor data is calculated 254 trillion times per second by Orin to realize high-level automatic driving function.

NVIDIA’s automobile business has formed a strong open ecology including Tier1, sensors and software manufacturers. At present, NVIDIA has dominated the high-end passenger car market of over 300,000. In the next six years, NVIDIA’s orders in hand will exceed $11 billion. According to incomplete statistics, more than 25 OEMs around the world have reached Orin cooperation with NVIDIA, including Weilai, Tucki, Ideality, Weimar, SAIC Zhiji, R Auto, Faraday Future, Lucid Group, Human Horizons Vinfast, Chinese Express and other new car-making forces; And BYD, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo, Hyundai, Audi, Lotus and other traditional OEMs. In addition, Desai Siwei, Baidu Apollo, General Cruise and Google Waymo will also develop ADAS solutions based on Orin.

Mobileye

Mobileye is the earliest self-driving overlord. The "visual algorithm+chip" solution occupies about 70% market share in the L0-L2 market and was acquired by Intel in 2017.

EyeQ series chips are the core of Mobileye. Three years after mass production of EyeQ4, Mobileye launched the 7 nm FinFET process EyeQ5 in 2021. It includes multi-threaded 8-core CPU and 18-core vision processor, and its computing power is increased to 24TOPS, and its power consumption is only 10W, which can meet the driving demand of L4.

In 2022, Mobileye laid out high-level autopilot, and issued three chips in succession, including EyeQUltra for L4 autopilot, and EyeQ6L and EyeQ6H for L2 autopilot.

Compared with the previous products, the performance of the three chips has been greatly improved under the premise of controlling energy consumption. In particular, EyeQUltra, which is specially designed for autonomous driving, has 64 core processors and 12 RISC-VCPU, each with 24 threads, which can achieve high-efficiency and accurate calculation with less than 100W power consumption. It does not need the computing power and cost of integrating multiple systems, and solves the major challenges faced by the industry. EyeQUltra is expected to be fully put into production in 2025. This chip is benchmarked against Xavier of NVIDIA, but its computing power seems to be slightly lower than that of NVIDIA.

In the early days, mainstream OEMs chose EyeQ3 and EyeQ4 series in succession, which enabled Mobileye to successfully occupy the pre-assembly market. However, its black box model has shown signs of acclimatization and the market growth rate has slowed down. Previously, Mobileye EyeQ6, EyeQ6L and EyeQ6H had reached in-depth cooperation with Volkswagen Group and Ford Motor Company, and also reached an agreement with Geely. EyeQUltra is expected to provide samples in 2023 and mass-produce cars in 2024.

　　In the information age, people are increasingly inseparable from computers, which are needed for work, life, entertainment and so on. Desktop computers are bulky and not easy to carry, and they may also be needed for business trips and travel, so it is very important to buy a notebook computer. Walking around the computer city, you can see nearly a thousand computers, each of which claims to have various advantages, which makes consumers very headache and doesn’t know which laptop to choose. Xiaobian made a notebook computer purchase guide, you can learn about it.

　　The most comprehensive laptop shopping strategy to share.

　　1. Multipurpose: If you buy a laptop to watch videos, play games, handle work, etc., and you don’t concentrate on it, it’s best to touch everything, then a low-end 15-inch computer or a 13-inch door-level model is the best choice, and the price is between 2,500 and 5,000 yuan.

　　2. Business: If you are a business person, you can buy a notebook computer to process documents and various forms, then you can buy a business computer. They are durable, feel good, light and easy to carry, and have a high screen pixel. The price is 4,000-7,000 yuan.

　　3. Games: If you are a young man and buy a laptop mainly to play high-end games, then the performance of the computer is required to be very good, regardless of the processor, graphics card and screen resolution. The price of this kind of products is relatively high, generally starting from 7000 yuan.

　　4. Media workers: People engaged in media work need creativity, and they often have to open various softwares to edit videos and photos. Therefore, computer processors are required to be relatively powerful, and independent graphics cards can support the operation of various large-scale image processing software. The price of such computers starts from 4,000 yuan.

　　5. Brand is very important. At present, many brands produce notebook computers, so choosing a well-known brand will definitely be better than an unknown brand, because the after-sales service of well-known brands is relatively perfect, and problems with notebook computers can be properly handled. For example, Sony, Acer, Apple, Hewlett-Packard, Samsung, Lenovo, Asus and other brands are relatively well-known brands in notebook computers at present.

　　6. Type. At present, there are many kinds of notebook computers on the market, including tablet/notebook in one, which can meet people’s daily needs. There are also multi-mode laptops, which can also bring different experiences to people.

　　After reading the notebook computer selection guide, do you know something about purchasing a notebook computer? In fact, it is not difficult to choose the right notebook for yourself. The key is to start from your own standpoint and take personal needs and economic strength as the main factors in purchasing. When buying a laptop, you should never follow the shopping guide and blindly sell it, so you can’t buy your own laptop.

The 18th and 19th China Film China Watch Awards Ceremony was held in Beijing. Half the entertainment circle gathered at this ceremony, and male and female stars competed on the red carpet, trying to show their best.

Zhang Ziyi, the first-line flower, Chen Kaige, the top director, and a number of traffic stars from the bottom came to the event. It is reported that there are more than 600 people from all walks of life in the entertainment circle. It’s not the weight of the China Watch Award that brings so many people together, but it can be regarded as the biggest event of China movies since the epidemic was unsealed.

Red carpet stars came one after another. Unexpectedly, Chen Kun and Zhou Xun didn’t walk on the red carpet, but quietly waited for the award ceremony in the infield. A group of photos of two people in the cinema released by the official studio are full of stories.

Soon, these photos went viral on the Internet. Isn’t this better than a star competing with concave shapes outside the red carpet? The two of them just sat there quietly, as if telling a story. This is the movie star, and this is the world of light and shadow.

Subsequently, the two men jointly awarded the Best Actor Award, a black suit and a white evening dress, and they walked leisurely to the center of the stage, with the film texture that mature actors naturally have, and the fireworks that seemed to be visible and captured; They also have a sense of relaxation in the vanity fair in the entertainment circle, and they feel so relaxed that Chen Kun and Zhou Xun are really pleasing to everyone. Moreover, there is no utilitarian taste of bundling CP with each other, and there is no humility between men and women, for fear that bundling together will affect the generosity and nature of each other’s fans, which explains the best appearance of friendship in the entertainment circle.

I have known each other for 20 years and cooperated for more than a dozen times.

From "Fog Like Rain Like Wind" to the latest film "Serve the Gods", from TV series to movies, both of them have left each other the most beautiful years.

Zhou Xun and Chen Kun met for the first time, and it was also the first time for everyone to see the appearance of two people in the same box. One was a charming little girl with a pair of ponytails, and the other was a young girl whose eyes were full of tender cream. After so many years, they seem to have changed, but they seem to have not changed. As beautiful as those two pairs of eyes, there are more stories in the eyes and more each other.

In the past 20 years, they have never stopped cooperating with each other. If they want to play a couple, they will play a couple. If they want to make a guest appearance in each other’s movies, they will make a guest appearance in each other’s movies. Compared with later, many people like to say which pair of immortals CP has lived for a long time. In fact, how good the private relationship is, but for those who have no chance to cooperate, they have always been able to cooperate, and they have never deliberately promoted two people in the same box. It is really a good relationship.

Start a company together to find new actors.

In addition to their own cooperation, both of them have become bosses. There are many actors in the entertainment circle who have jumped from star to capital. They all want to make money and squeeze a new generation of actors after becoming capital.

However, they are not the same. After Chen Kun and Zhou Xun started an entertainment company together, they also set up an acting training school called Yamashita School, hoping to explore the possibility of more new actors and explore the limits of actors.

Chen Kun rented a five-story villa to start this school at the foot of the mountain. The overall decoration style is as simple and natural as the name of this school, and everything is simple. Their powerful artists, such as Dahong Ni, naturally became the teachers of this acting school. To give a more successful example, during this period, everyone said that Chen Douling, whose acting skills took off on the spot, studied in the school here. It seems that it was fruitful, and his facial features did not fly around, and his eyes also changed.

Obviously, this school is really different from some stars who go back to their hometown to open a local art test training institution, just to get money from their own star brands, with their mouths full of ideas and their hearts full of business. Chen Kun and Zhou Xun just want to start over and dig up more good new actors.

Not a real couple, but they can grow old.

From their private lives to interviews, both of them have decided that they will grow old together.

A casual search of Chen Kun and Zhou Xun’s private lives shows that they have lived upstairs and downstairs for many years. As long as you move, I will move and wear my own slippers to go across the hall.

When interviewed, it is even more straightforward to say that the other party is their own friendship. Chen Kun is complex and sensitive, with a little emotional change and reaction. Only Zhou Xun can detect it for the first time, and Zhou Xun can give him the most comfortable comfort, which seems to be their innate tacit understanding and trust.

The relationship between Chen Kun and Zhou Xun, I’m afraid, is not just a model state of the entertainment circle. For ordinary people, I also hope to have such good friends.

According to the Chinese government website, a few days ago, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Action Plan for Firmly Promoting High-level Opening-up and Attracting and Utilizing Foreign Capital", which proposed to facilitate the exchange of international business people.

Read the original text

　　Recently, the TV series "Fox Hunt" was broadcasted, which mainly told the story of transnational arrest of economic suspects at large.

　　This TV series was created in the background of "Fox Hunting Action" of the Ministry of Public Security.

　　"Fox Hunting Action" is a special action launched by the Ministry of Public Security in 2014 to arrest economic suspects who are at large abroad.

　　The protagonist in the play has gone through many difficulties and dangers to launch a transnational pursuit, but the economic investigation case in reality is actually more exciting than this.

　　The play spent eight years chasing fugitives.

　　In reality, someone has been absconding for 18 years.

　　On January 20, 2015, a seemingly ordinary middle-aged man entered the border checkpoint of Shanghai Pudong International Airport.

　　Passport information shows that he is an Australian Chinese and his name is "Zhang Jianping".

　　The man calmly handed his passport to the border inspector, and there seemed nothing unusual.

　　However, this entry information has attracted the attention of Shanghai border inspection.

　　In the process of immigration investigation, the Shanghai border inspection found that the facial features and whereabouts of this man were consistent with those of Xie Renliang, a wanted man in the sensational financial fraud case in Shanghai in 1997, and provided the information to the Economic Investigation Corps of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau.

　　After checking and comparing with the information in the pursuit database, the Economic Investigation Corps of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau found that the entry man was very similar to Xie Renliang.

　　18 years ago, Xie Renliang came to into thin air with money from fraud.

　　At that time, how on earth did he cheat away more than 90 million yuan?

　　Xie Renliang was the chairman of a company in Ningbo at that time. Since April 1996, he has been engaged in margin financing and securities lending business with a securities company in Shanghai.

　　After defrauding the trust of the manager of the securities company, Xie Renliang privately carved the official seal of a securities business department in Ningbo, and repeatedly issued certificates of custody of Chinese bonds with yin and yang denominations.

　　He defrauded 46 million yuan of funds and 45.5 million yuan of treasury bonds from securities companies in Shanghai by signing contracts such as bond trading agreement and treasury bond integration agreement.

Bond transaction agreement and treasury bond integration agreement

　　Xie Renliang used all the money he cheated to invest in futures and stocks, but these investments suffered serious losses. He lost more than 30 million yuan only by investing in futures.

　　On March 2, 1997, Xie Renliang left a letter to the manager of a securities company in Shanghai and fled with the balance.

Xie Renliang wrote in his letter, "I am sorry for you in this life."

　　If you leave like this, it will be 18 years.

　　In the past 18 years, the police in charge of handling cases have changed several times, but they have never given up their pursuit of him.

　　It was not until Zhang Jianping, who returned from Australia in January 2015, that the police saw the hope of solving the case.

　　To solve the case, the first thing is to determine whether this "Zhang Jianping" is Xie Renliang.

　　During the investigation, the police found that "Zhang Jianping" had a domestic household registration in susong county, Anhui Province before obtaining Australian citizenship.

　　The Shanghai police went to Susong, Anhui Province to investigate and found that there were indeed doubts.

　　The local police station told the Shanghai police that Zhang Jianping was from susong county, Anhui Province, but he had been lost for some time before returning to registered permanent residence in Susong.

　　In addition, the police also found that the trajectory of "Zhang Jianping" and Xie Renliang’s ex-wife living in Australia also overlapped.

　　Xie Renliang’s ex-wife divorced Xie Renliang around 1996, married an Australian Chinese and obtained Australian citizenship.

　　After the police tracked down the Chinese, they learned that Xie Renliang’s ex-wife had divorced him.

　　According to him, Xie Renliang should live in Australia.

　　After discovering all kinds of doubts about "Zhang Jianping", the police locked him in a hotel in Hangzhou.

　　The police found that "Zhang Jianping" has been living in this hotel in Hangzhou since he entered Shanghai Pudong Airport on January 20, 2015.

　　Even during the Lunar New Year, he didn’t return to his so-called original domicile — — Susong county, Anhui.

　　This undoubtedly aggravated the police’s suspicion.

　　After many comparisons, verifications and external investigations, the police are more and more convinced that "Zhang Jianping" is Xie Renliang who has fled for 18 years.

　　On March 3, 2015, after careful deployment, the police handling the case decided to arrest "Zhang Jianping" who was in the Hangzhou hotel.

　　According to the police investigating the case, when they found "Zhang Jianping", they suddenly asked him.

　　"Are you Xie Renliang?"

　　"Zhang Jianping" immediately stood there, his eyes were very scared, and he sat motionless on the couch.

　　The police found that "Zhang Jianping" carried three mobile phones with him. Through some news on these three mobile phones, the police realized that "Zhang Jianping" mainly wanted to see his mother for the last time through related people.

　　In this way, the police handling the case further clarified that he is Xie Renliang.

　　But at this time, in the face of the inquiry of the police handling the case, "Zhang Jianping" was either silent or lied that he could not remember the past.

　　All kinds of evidence show that "Zhang Jianping" is Xie Renliang who has been pursued by the police for 18 years, but the case handlers have encountered new problems.

　　The man insisted that he was "Zhang Jianping", and he denied all the evidence that he was Xie Renliang, trying to get away with it.

　　What is even more ironic is that "Zhang Jianping" has repeatedly claimed that he has lost his memory.

　　In the face of his lies, on the one hand, the police found Xie Renliang’s relatives and the parties to the case to identify him.

　　On the other hand, in order to make the whole chain of evidence more closed and solid, the police used DNA comparison technology to extract the DNA of Xie Renliang’s son and mother and compare it with him.

Biometrics cannot be changed.

　　The test results show that "Zhang Jianping" is Xie Renliang who has fled overseas for 18 years.

　　At this point, Xie Renliang, the suspect involved in the case of 90 million yuan, was completely restored by the Shanghai police.

　　On May 13, 2016, the Shanghai Higher People’s Court made a final judgment. Xie Renliang was convicted of fraud, sentenced to life imprisonment and confiscated all his personal property.

　　In the play, Wang Kai Angel pretends to be a couple.

　　There are actually prototypes in reality.

　　In the preview of the TV series Fox Hunt, Wang Kai and Angel have the same style, and some netizens think that this is "pretending to be lovers" to catch fugitives.

　　In fact, there are archetypal figures in the "Fox Hunt".

　　In 2013, Zhou fled to the Philippines after defrauding five cable companies in Yixing City, Jiangsu Province of 9.6 million yuan of cable products.

　　Through technical investigation, the police found that although Zhou had a wife and son in Yixing, he married a local young woman after he arrived in the Philippines.

　　The police judged that it is very unlikely that Zhou will voluntarily return to China and surrender himself. If he does not arrest, he is likely to go unpunished.

　　According to the police investigating the case, due to the differences of judicial systems in different countries, the China police have no law enforcement power when they arrive in the Philippines, and all actions can only be carried out by relying on the local national police and the National Immigration Bureau.

　　According to police investigation, Zhou lives in a high-end residential area in the Philippines, which is full of single-family villas. The community covers a large area, with a total of six entrances and exits. Each entrance and exit has three or four security guards, and the security guards are armed with live ammunition. Generally, it is difficult for outsiders to enter without the permission of the owner.

　　However, if you want to determine Zhou’s daily life, you must enter the community where he lives for investigation.

　　To this end, the task force arranged for Cassie Wang, a policeman fluent in spoken English, and Qian Gan, another policeman, to dress up as husband and wife. Since the Philippines needed to rent a house for business, it contacted an owner and made an appointment to go into the community to look at the house.

After entering the community, the police took the opportunity to observe Zhou’s house.

　　In this way, after secret investigation, the police further grasped Zhou’s daily life trajectory.

　　However, considering the inconvenient entry and exit of the community and too many exports, the police decided not to arrest Zhou in the community for fear of alarming him.

　　Later, through technical investigation, the police found that Zhou posted a house rental information on the Internet.

　　The police believe that this is an excellent opportunity to lure the snake out of the hole.

　　The police continued to arrange for the previous two policemen to pretend to be husband and wife to ask Zhou out.

　　In the coffee shop, the police and the staff of the Philippine Immigration Bureau disguised as customers and ambushed around.

　　However, at the appointed time, Zhou did not show up. The police are very anxious.

　　After waiting for more than an hour, Zhou finally appeared at the door of the coffee shop.

　　The first sentence after Zhou came in was to say politely, "I’m sorry I’m late."

　　The policeman posing as her husband replied: "It’s not too late, just come."

　　In fact, this is also the voice of the entire working group.

"It’s not too late, just come."

　　In this way, Zhou was arrested on the spot and taken to the Philippine Immigration Bureau, and was later arrested and returned to China by Wuxi police.

　　The French open is long and sparse, but it does not leak.

　　According to the Legal Daily, as of the first half of 2019, Fox Hunting has captured more than 4,900 fugitives from more than 120 countries and regions, and pursued more than 17 billion yuan.

　　Is life on the run really so good? Not necessarily.

　　In 2014, Chen Mou, who opened an underground bank privately and bought $300 million in foreign exchange for tax fraud, was successfully persuaded to return after fleeing Dubai.

　　This is how he describes his life on the run.

　　In 2015, Du Mou, who fled to Sri Lanka after illegally raising more than 20 million yuan, and then sneaked back to China and was arrested, said this about his escape life.

　　In the past cases, some people turned themselves in because they were displaced abroad, some people were persuaded to return home, and some people turned themselves in because their relatives returned home. ……

　　Mills of God grind slowly but sure.

　　Just like the ending song of Fox Hunt, which netizens jokingly called "turning yourself in" on the screen, "go home.

　　The three major stock indexes of A-shares fluctuated slightly in the morning, and the decline was slightly enlarged in the afternoon. At the close, the Shanghai Composite Index reported 3,043 points, down 0.40%, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange Index reported 9,604 points, down 0.27%, and the Growth Enterprise Market Index reported 1,895 points, down 0.579%. The turnover of the two cities broke through another trillion yuan.

　　In terms of sectors: Internet, media and entertainment, software services, automobiles, Sora concepts are relatively better, while non-ferrous metals, electricity, components, petroleum and other sectors closed up;

　　On the decline list, insurance, real estate, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, brokerage and building materials were among the top losers.

　　Capital flow: As of the closing of A-shares, statistics show that northbound capital has bought a total of 1.567 billion yuan, of which Shanghai Stock Connect bought 649 million yuan and Shenzhen Stock Connect bought 918 million yuan. The turnover of northbound funds was 135.776 billion yuan, accounting for 12.87% of the total turnover of A shares, and the trading activity decreased by 13.03%, of which Shanghai Stock Connect bought 31.544 billion yuan and sold 30.895 billion yuan, while Shenzhen Stock Connect bought 37.128 billion yuan and sold 36.210 billion yuan. Northbound funds kept net purchases for four consecutive days, with net purchases of 6.001 billion yuan, 10.260 billion yuan, 4.244 billion yuan and 1.567 billion yuan respectively, with a total net purchase of 22.072 billion yuan.

　　Regarding the trend of A-shares, Guosheng Securities believes that as the "combination boxing" of stabilizing the capital market continues to land, economic data will be released in March or will exceed expectations, which will significantly boost risk appetite and investor confidence and drive the market risk appetite to rebound. The rebound is not over yet. If there is a shock adjustment in the short term or a benign adjustment on the way up. In the medium term, with the intensive introduction of steady growth policies, the process of economic recovery is expected to accelerate, and incremental funds may return to the rebound stage, and the amount of attention can be simultaneously enlarged. At the same time, after the registration system is fully implemented, its survival of the fittest mechanism will help the market style tend to be "blue-chip", and the intermediate market of the Shanghai Composite Index will not be absent but will only deepen. At present, it is suggested to maintain a balanced allocation with value slightly greater than growth.

　　Huajin Securities pointed out that blue-chip stocks are dominant and balanced. (1) Style: In the second quarter, it shifted from micro-stocks to super-large stocks and small and medium-sized stocks; The simultaneous strengthening of dividends and technology may continue in the short term, and the short-term growth and value are balanced; In the medium term, it may be biased towards technology and growth. (2) Based on the macro-environment orientation, profit and prosperity expectation orientation, PB-ROE orientation and PEG orientation, it is suggested to pay attention in the second quarter: First, TMT, Electric Power, Machinery, Automobile, etc. with upward profit and prosperity and high valuation cost performance; Second, buildings, banks, transportation and consumption that benefit from policy and economic restoration.

The price of new mineral water products continues to drop, and the bottled water market may usher in a new pattern.

Ipoh has recently made new moves in the field of mineral water. Ipoh official Weibo shows that Ipoh recently launched a brand-new mineral water brand "Benyou", which includes two specifications of 350 ml and 555 ml. At present, it has been officially listed and priced in the most mainstream 2 yuan range of bottled water.

According to reports, the positioning of "Benyou" is a simple and fashionable drinking natural mineral water that satisfies consumers’ daily thirst quenching and has a sense of closeness. On the consumer side, not all consumers can know the difference between mineral water and pure water. However, Ipoh dropped the price of mineral water to 2 yuan market after Master Kong, which means that the price boundary between mineral water, natural water and purified water is blurring.

As early as 2018, the retail price of Master Kong’s packaged drinking water terminal increased from 1 yuan to 2 yuan. At this point, the water age of bottled water in 1 yuan has completely ended, and the mainstream price of domestic bottled water has entered the 2 yuan range, but within this range, mineral water products are rare. For natural aquatic products, enterprises are required to lay out water sources in advance, and natural mineral water is required to obtain mineral water mining licenses at the same time, and mineral water categories have higher requirements for water sources and mineral water mining licenses.

However, in March this year, in March this year, Master Kong introduced a new bottled water product called "Drinking Mineral Springs", which was priced at a bottle of 2 yuan. It can be seen that the mineral water brand "Benyou" recently launched by Ipoh is also breaking through the 2 yuan water track. This means that mineral water products, which were originally priced higher than pure water, are exploring the market price boundary.

Ipoh and Master Kong have successively launched 2 yuan mineral water. In the price belt market in 2 yuan, the competition for drinking water will be more intense.

With the debut of pure water, Ipoh’s bottled water business has always been mainly based on pure water. Since last year, Ipoh has launched the high-end mineral water "Ipoh Dew" for the first time at a price of one bottle in 15 yuan, which can be said to be a luxury in drinking water. The mineral water brand "Benyou" launched this time is priced in 2 yuan and has the characteristics of "being close to the people".

Specifically, this time, "Benyou" launched different specifications of PET plastic bottles, including 555 ml and 350 ml, which were priced in 2 yuan and 1.5 yuan respectively. Among them, the 350 ml mini bottle is mainly portable when going out to meet the female group with a small amount of disposable drinking.

In the direction of supply chain, Ipoh has also increased its efforts. It is understood that in February this year, the commissioning ceremony of China Resources Ipoh East China Production Base was held in Yixing, Jiangsu Province. After all the production, it will become the first all-product factory of China Resources Ipoh, covering 8 mainstream drinks such as packaged water, near-water drinks, sports drinks, milk tea, coffee, fruit juice, tea drinks and lactic acid bacteria drinks, with an annual production capacity of nearly 200 million cases.

From pure water to mineral water, Ipoh launched "Benyou" in 2 yuan, which continued to open the price war in the mineral water market.

In fact, mineral water prices in 2 yuan are rare.

First of all, the 2 yuan price band is the main product price range of Ipoh Pure Water. However, in bottled water, the price range of brand products represented by ice dew, Wahaha and Master Kong pure water is usually within 1.5 yuan, and natural water is in 1.5 yuan, while the price of natural mineral water is usually higher than that of 2 yuan.

At present, among the domestic mineral water brands, Jinmailang’s Jinmao, Yuanqi Forest’s Mined, Changbaixue, Tongyi Aikua and Baisui Mountain are all above 3 yuan and 3 yuan, while 2 yuan’s mineral water brands are few.

At the same time, the market size of mineral water market is larger than that of pure water. Packaging drinking water is divided into natural water, natural mineral water, drinking pure water and other drinking water according to the different water sources. Because there is no restriction on the source of drinking pure water, according to Jost Sullivan’s report, drinking pure water is the largest market at present, which is 119.1 billion yuan in 2019, accounting for 60.4%.

According to Jost Sullivan’s data, from 2014 to 2019, the compound annual growth rates of natural water and natural mineral water were 24.8% and 18.4% respectively, and the CAGR of retail sales was 29.1% and 19.0% respectively. It is estimated that the compound annual growth rates of natural water and natural mineral water will be 15.4% and 14.2% respectively from 2019 to 2024.

The sales growth rate of natural water and mineral water is expected to be faster than that of pure water. According to the Annual Report on Mineral Water Consumption Trends in 2022, the sales growth rates of mineral water, drinking natural water and purified water were 43%, 35% and 31% respectively, and the growth rate of purified water was the lowest.

Judging from the domestic bottled water market share, the head brand has a high market share and market concentration. The market share is the highest, followed by China Resources Ipoh. The bottled water market share of the top six enterprises has exceeded 80% of all domestic markets.

Since the beginning of this year, in the bottled water market, most brands have not made large-scale new moves for mineral water tracks, but the new products and brand upgrades for this are very lively.

Zong Qinghou once said that the beverage industry is out of date and will always be a sunrise industry. Bottled water companies also want to use mineral water to make a "turnaround" of water.

From the price point of view, the average price of natural mineral water is above 4.5 yuan /500ml because it is rich in natural substances, while the average price of drinking pure water is around 1.5 yuan /500ml, and the prices of mineral water products promoted by major brands this year are mostly above 3 yuan.

It was Master Kong who started the price war and launched "Drinking Mineral Springs" in March 2023. The Tmall platform shows that Master Kong’s "drinking mineral spring" that has been sold at present includes four kinds of packages, the specification is 550ml, and the price is 23.9 yuan /12 bottles, about 2 yuan/bottle;

In April, Yuehuo, a high-end drinking water brand owned by COFCO, announced the launch of "Yuehuo Changbai Mountain" natural mineral water, which is another mineral water that takes water from local water sources after "Yuehuo Emei Mountain" natural mineral water, and will focus on home life scenes. The packaging is 500ml specifications, and the terminal will implement the price of 3-4 yuan in different regions;

In mid-May, Evian also launched a brand-new aerated natural mineral water with 330ml and 750ml specifications. At present, the reference price is 300 yuan /12 bottles *750ml, which is about 25 yuan/bottle;

In early June, Yuanqi Forest also launched a new evaluation activity. However, unlike the mineral water with the price of 3 yuan, this evaluation object is the newly-launched pure water of Yuanqi Forest, with the specification of 520ml. At present, the test link has been launched in Yuanqi Forest Member Center, and 0 yuan has experienced 9.9 yuan /3 bottles.

In mid-June, Wahaha launched a brand-new upgraded drinking natural mineral water, highlighting the water source of Wulongquan in Changbai Mountain, and the price is 3 yuan/bottle. Zong Qinghou, the founder of Wahaha, mentioned at the 2023 national distributor conference that the status of water market should be "restored" in 2023, especially focusing on 3 yuan water market. Last year, Wahaha began to develop natural mineral water.

In July, the Arctic Ocean also launched a new product "natural mineral water with gas" with a specification of 330mL, which is aimed at middle and high-end consumers. JD.COM shows that the price of 330ml*12 FCL is 139 yuan, about 11.5 yuan/bottle. According to reports, the gas-bearing natural mineral water in the Arctic Ocean is obtained from natural water sources, which is rich in natural gas of carbon dioxide and various minerals such as metasilicic acid and strontium, which are beneficial to human health.

In fact, when Evergrande Ice Spring first came out, it once priced mineral water at five yuan. In the following years, its price dropped to 2 yuan /500ml. A year and a half ago, Jiaduobao’s high-end mineral water "Kunlun Mountain" took the initiative to lower its profile. The retail price of Jiaduobao Kunlun Mountain mineral water products has dropped from the previous range of 5~6 yuan to 4 yuan, and Evian has also lowered its products to the price belt of 5 yuan.

It can be seen that in recent years, the underwater exploration price of natural mineral springs has become the general trend, but whether the price reduction to the level of 2 yuan can be sustained or not is worth further observation.

In addition, it is understood that in 2021, Ipoh signed contracts with four major drinking water production bases, namely Changbai Mountain in the northeast, Wuxi in east China, Wuyishan and Heyuan in south China. Jin Mailang’s "drinking mineral spring" has two water sources: Qinglongquan in Changbai Mountain and Bishanquan in Huangshan Mountain.

Comparatively speaking, there are about 12 water sources mainly engaged in natural water and mineral water, and Baisui Mountain, which also focuses on mineral water, has 7 water sources.

For enterprises that want to play low-priced mineral water, such as Ipoh, whether they can get more water sources will also be the key to their future development.

Will the mineral water market start a comprehensive price reduction war in the future? On the one hand, lowering prices means that enterprises have to deal with the risk of product profits being compressed. On the other hand, whether consumers can form a more stable consumption mentality is also the key to whether the mineral water market can break through. This bottled water war has just begun.

　　　　　　 CCTV News:The press center celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of People’s Republic of China (PRC) held the first special group interview in the press room on the second floor of the Media Center. Major General Cai Zhijun, deputy director of the Military Parade Leading Group Office and deputy director of the Operations Bureau of the Joint Staff of the Central Military Commission, Major General Tan Min, executive deputy director of the Military Parade Joint Command Office and deputy chief of staff of the Central Theater of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, and Senior Colonel Wu Qian, director of the Information Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense, were invited to introduce the arrangements for the military parade and answer questions from reporters.

　　　　　　 Central TV reporter:As mentioned just now, the number of senior commanders who have been read in this military parade arrangement exceeds that in previous military parades. My question is, what is the consideration for this arrangement and design? Thank you.

　　　　　　 Cai Zhijun:Thank you for your question. No matter in wartime or peacetime, senior commanders of the army are always the key to rallying troops, directing troops’ actions and leading troops’ construction, and are always the backbone that our party attaches great importance to training experience and entrusts with heavy responsibilities. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, especially after the Gutian Army Political Work Conference, the people’s army has regrouped and started again, and its overall appearance has taken on a new look. The ability, quality and style image of senior commanders have been greatly improved, which has played a very important role in implementing the goal of strengthening the army and promoting preparations for war.

　　　　　　 The senior commanders who arranged more military parades were read, and they focused on establishing a clear orientation of leading troops to fight and striving for victory, showing a good image of taking the lead and being above the rate, and declaring a high degree of consciousness of absolutely listening to the party’s command and courageously taking responsibility. As Major General Tan Min said just now, senior generals in their 60s are trained and read together with young officers and men. It is worth mentioning that the female soldier team arranged for two female generals to be the team leaders and appeared in the parade ground in a cool and heroic manner. This is also the first time that all previous military parades have arranged for female generals to be read in the trekking team. Thank you.
