The most popular movie this summer is the Four Kings of Di Renjie.


Special feature of 1905 film networkThe premieres of the first two films of "Di Renjie" series were both in Beijing.


This time, the premiere of "The Four Kings of Di Renjie" was transferred to Suzhou. Why?


Because this highlight is not only movies, but also Suzhou Huayi Brothers Movie World Reality Park, which cost 2 billion yuan and will officially open on July 23, the world premiere of "Four Kings" was held here.


Before entering the gate of the real paradise, you can see a huge bronze statue — — — The Tongtian pagoda in Suzhou, a building dubbed "Carina Lau" statue, has become a new landmark in Suzhou. (Xiao Dianjun: Actually, it’s nothing like Carina Lau.)


The premiere of "Four Kings" was held under this 75-meter-high pagoda. Before the event started, it brought us into the world of Datang in the "Di Renjie" series.

One of the park concept maps

This real-life paradise is divided into five theme areas: Avenue of Stars, You Are the One, Assembly Number, Taiji and Tongtian Empire, all of which are movies and IP produced by Huayi Brothers, and the premiere venue is located in Tongtian Empire theme area.


Under the Tongtian pagoda, it is the Palace of Vientiane Shrine where Wu Zetian ascended the throne, and it is also the hall where Tongtian pagoda fell and smashed in Tongtian Empire.

The second concept map of the park

The red carpet for the premiere was laid in the big square in front of the Vientiane Shrine, with the "Infinite View" and the "Hall of Immortals" on the left and right sides. One was the place where the Buddhist teacher practiced in "Tongtian Empire" and the other was the temple where Wu Zetian used to recuperate.


After the red carpet was over, the creators climbed the steps and entered the Vientiane Shrine. In the place where Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian were "two saints in the court", the behind-the-scenes creators and five leading actors of "Four Kings" shared before and after the stage in front of the gorgeous dragon chair. The whole process was really full of ritual!


On the day of the premiere, Typhoon Abe landed in Shanghai. The director Tsui Hark was worried about the weather, but fortunately, the weather was beautiful, or the four heavenly kings in this movie were effective in "guarding". During the day, there was only a little wind and rain on the scene.


When he walked down the red carpet smoothly, he saw Tongtian pagoda and sighed, "This is a great thing. Tongtian pagoda appeared in reality, and it was very shocking."


Producer Wang Zhonglei revealed that the picture that Tsui Hark gave him eight years ago was just a visual sketch of Tongtian pagoda lying on one side and still cracked in the air. It took them three years to restore Tongtian pagoda and the palace to a scale of 1: 1.


Back to the film "Four Kings", he praised, "This is the best Di Renjie series and Tsui Hark’s best work in the past ten years".


At the press conference, Mark Chao, William Feng, Kenny Lin, Ehan Juan and Sandra all mentioned several details and changes in the film.


First, compared with the previous work, Di Renjie in this film has more obvious weaknesses, that is, the heart disease haunted by demons, which was also a small suggestion given to Tsui Hark by Mark Chao in the early stage of script creation.


　Second, Di Renjie’s "good friend" Sha Tuozhong had his own emotional line, and played an ambiguous drama with Sandra’s Shui Yue, which may have buried a hidden stalk for Sha Tuozhong’s final blackening.


Third, Wei Chi Jin, played by William Feng, is even more tragic than before. He has to stare at the big eyes all the time in the film, while Ehan Juan’s scene of Master BOSS’s round repair is very easy. He teased, "What they think is very troublesome inside, I think it is just like drinking a water."


At the end of the conference, the starring actor also had a few "earth-flavored love stories" with the interactive audience. After laughing and having fun, we moved to the "Superstar Cinema" in the park. In this screening hall that can accommodate 1,000 people, Xiao Dianjun watched "The Four Kings of Di Renjie" for the first time.


So, is this movie really the best in the Di Renjie series and Tsui Hark’s best in ten years, as Wang Zhonglei said? Did Xu Laoguai’s explosive imagination and visual effects conquer Xiao Dianjun? I’ll give you an exclusive look at it right away!


(slightly spoiler, read carefully)


For a long time, the audience has always labeled "Xu Laoguai" as Oriental, Martial Arts and Fantasy.


But what director Tsui Hark does is not tear off these labels, but amaze you after every movie. I didn’t expect to play like this.


Whether the Di Renjie series is good or not depends on the story.


"Tongtian Empire" is a mystery film, a story line, which makes a fuss about the red scarab.


When it comes to "The Dragon King of Gods", it is a double case, with a small play.


As the third part of the series, the story of Four Heavenly Kings follows the story of The Dragon King of the Gods, and the opening is that Di Renjie, who settled the case of the Dragon King of the Gods, was given a dragon mace. Explain the origin of this artifact in the first movie "Tongtian Empire".


The story also revolves around this Kang Long mace. It is very simple to say that it is nothing more than someone who doesn’t want him to get this imperial gift.


It’s really complicated to say that it’s complicated. Behind Kang Long’s mace, there are many story clues in a down-to-earth way.


"Four Kings" can be said to be the one with the richest relationship among the three films at present.

　

For example, is it the age difference or greed that makes the court life of the Empress Dowager so discordant?


Is it feudal superstition or predestination of past lives that makes foreign groups want revenge on Datang?


Is the atmosphere open or just in the flower season, which makes boys and girls feel excited?


Although it is a joke, it is true that these are the story clues buried in the Four Kings.


In an interview, Tsui Hark once said: "The story of Di Renjie is about the lust for power, the weakness in one’s life, some fears, and the purpose of life you pursue." These are really what Four Kings wants to talk about.


And his films, naturally, are full of various imaginative visual wonders.


When talking about Tsui Hark’s imagination, what should we talk about? In a word, it is his innovation that makes the film look unorthodox.


For example, in the recent acclaimed war in Hong Haier, Sanwei was really cremated into a horde.


In the trailer of "Four Kings", we have seen the golden dragon on the pillars of the main hall activated and flew away by the wind.


Of course, there is also the glaring king who appeared on Dali Temple at the end of the trailer. How big is the king of heaven? One hand can hold an official of Dali Temple.


But the trailer didn’t tell you that Tsui Hark also made a huge white ape. A master of circle measurement can meditate on his head. This white ape can be serious in a feature film or cute in an egg.


You can also stand on the roof of Dali Temple like King Kong and fight against the demons. In a story of the Tang Dynasty, the appearance of this shot is not at all inconsistent.


Do you think this is the end? Not really. There is also a king who did not appear in the trailer, and this white ape will push the 15-minute war to a climax.


This is the most exciting 15 minutes in the summer of 2018!


When we asked Tsui Hark what other wonders of imagination he could present, the fear of being dominated by huge things began to spread on the screen when he made the glaring king with eyes rise from behind the tall building.


What is more noteworthy is that in this film, the audience will see pictures that have never been seen before in Chinese movies.


We can see these wonders except Tsui Hark’s imagination. One reason is that Wu Zetian, played by Carina Lau, loves magic.


She is also the key to this story.


In the story of "Four Heavenly Kings", Wu Zetian and Tang Gaozong have been renamed the Queen of Heaven and the Emperor, and said that the two saints are in charge of politics. Her desire for power has also become very obvious in this film.


After telling these three stories, the image of the role of Wu Zetian has also become fuller.


In addition to the constant Carina Lau, each Di Renjie series will have a heroine who is also an enemy and friend.


Li Bingbing, who is heroic and dashing, is in "Tongtian Empire".


Angelababy is like flying in Dunhuang in "The Dragon King of the Gods".


In The Four Heavenly Kings, Sandra is regarded as a punk style.


The hidden moon she played should be the most unique role in this movie. It’s not styling, but she takes on the only emotional clue between men and women in the movie.


What Tsui Hark arranged is a drama in which women are strong and men are weak.


Although it is a woman who "molests" a good man and a boy, Shui Yue is a person who seems to be cold and fierce but is simple and loyal at heart. Sha Tuozhong, played by Kenny Lin, seems to be simple and honest in appearance, but there are also many tricks.


When these two people get together, the comedy effect is very strong.


At the end of the film, Shui Yue seems to be joining this detective team in Di Renjie. I wonder if Di Renjie, Sha Tuozhong, Wei Chi Zhenjin and Shui Yue are the "Four Heavenly Kings" referred to in the film title.


So, this emotional line arranged by director Tsui Hark, could it be one of the reasons why Sha Tuozhong and Di Renjie turned against each other in "Tongtian Empire"?


Among the three eggs at the end of the film "Four Kings", the longest one is directly connected with "Tongtian Empire".


Although it is not clear whether there will be any new mystery, at least one film is needed to explain how Di Renjie and Sha Tuozhong in Four Kings grew up to be them in Tongtian Empire and where Wei Chi’s real gold went after 20 years.


The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology officially announced the Outline of National Integrated Circuit Industry Development Promotion.

　　With the consent of the State Council, the Outline for Promoting the Development of National Integrated Circuit Industry is hereby promulgated as follows:

The market performance is not as expected, blue electric E5 price reduction of 40,100 yuan, can improve the sales of Cyrus？

When it comes to Cyrus, I believe many netizens will think of asking the world. In fact, in addition to cooperating with Huawei, Cyrus also launched a new brand this year – Blue Electric. And the first model is Blue Electric E5, which starts at 139,900 yuan. So, how is the market performance of this new energy SUV?

The monthly sales are less than 1,000 units, and now the price reduction mode is open.

According to the data released by the Passenger Association, in October, the sales of blue electric E5 were 925 units. In September, August and July, the sales were 607 units, 390 units and 343 units respectively. From the market performance, the sales of this blue electric E5 under the Cyrus Group are relatively average.

Therefore, on November 16 not long ago, the blue power brand under Cyrus officially announced that the blue power E5 opened a limited-time discount. If you buy the blue power E5 enjoyment type, the cash will be reduced by 40,100, and the limited-time snap-up price will only be 99,800. So, after the significant price reduction, can you increase the sales of the blue power E5?

In this regard, I don’t feel optimistic. Because from a product perspective, the Blue Electric E5 doesn’t have many bright spots.

The first is the appearance. As a compact SUV, the Blue Electric E5 is not designed to give people the sense of class that similar models should have.

Especially on the front face, the large-size grille is used, and the interior is equipped with many dot matrix decorative elements. The design is rather complex and does not reflect the desired beauty.

Coming to the side, the design of the Blue Electric E5 is also relatively average. Although the body length reaches 4760mm, it does not give people a strong sense of advanced. In this regard, the editor would like to make a suggestion to Cyrus Automobile. In terms of new car design, it is still necessary to make more efforts and recruit some designers with international level to improve the aesthetics of the model.

Dynamic performance is moderate, equipped with plug-in system

As we all know, for new energy vehicles, power is a top priority for many consumers. The Blue Electric E5, as a plug-in hybrid SUV, is composed of a 1.5-liter engine and a motor in terms of power.

Among them, the engine part, the editor learned that the maximum power is 81 kilowatts. From the data, the performance is relatively average. And the electric motor part of the blue electric E5, the blue electric car said that the maximum power is 130 kilowatts. For other compact plug-in hybrid SUVs, the blue electric E5 power system does not show obvious advantages in terms of performance.

In terms of pure electric battery life, the blue electric E5 offers two battery capacity versions. Among them, the low-end model is equipped with a 17.52 kWh battery, and under the NEDC condition, the maximum pure electric battery life reaches 100 kilometers. While the high-end model is equipped with a 19.4 kWh battery, under the NEDC condition, the maximum pure electric battery life is 110 kilometers.

Judging from the pure electric battery life data, the performance of the blue electric E5 is not particularly outstanding. You know, the same level of zero-run C11 has a larger battery capacity, and the pure electric battery life can already reach more than 200 kilometers.

Cyrus has accumulated losses of nearly 10 billion yuan in the past 4 years

Thanks to the blessing of Huawei’s concept stocks, the editor learned that recently, the share price of Sailis Group has risen significantly, reaching a maximum of 99.97 yuan.

It is worth mentioning that not long ago, Cyrus released its October production and sales report. Data show that Cyrus Group’s October sales of new energy vehicles reached 17,600, a remarkable performance.

However, it should be noted that since cooperating with Huawei in 2019, the editor has learned that Cyrus has been losing money. According to public data, from 2020 to the first three quarters of this year, Cyrus’s cumulative net loss reached 9.679 billion yuan. From the perspective of loss, it is still quite amazing.

Write at the end: From the sales data, today’s Cyrus, compared to the first half of the year, has indeed improved significantly. However, it is worth noting that Huawei recently launched the second brand under the smart car model – Zhijie, the first model is Zhijie S7, the pre-sale price is 258,000 yuan. In the future, SUV models will also be launched. It is foreseeable that some of the sales of Wenjie brands will be diverted. And Cyrus’s own blue electric brand is currently difficult to take on the heavy responsibility of sales. The editor believes that the current Cyrus needs to improve its comprehensive competitiveness by increasing research and development and strengthening management.

The latest release of Heilongjiang CDC

near future

Influenza has attracted much attention.

How to prevent the flu

Heilongjiang province disease control center

Publish popular science

Influenza is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by influenza virus, which seriously harms people’s health. The antigenicity of influenza virus is changeable and spreads rapidly, which can cause seasonal epidemic every year, and outbreaks can occur in schools, kindergartens and nursing homes. High-risk groups such as pregnant women, infants, the elderly and patients with chronic basic diseases have a higher risk of serious illness and death after suffering from influenza. Vaccination with influenza vaccine is an effective means to prevent influenza virus infection and its serious complications.

What is the pathogen that causes influenza?

The chief culprit of influenza is influenza virus, which belongs to orthomyxoviridae and is divided into four types: A, B, C and D (or A, B, C and D). At present, the viruses that cause seasonal influenza epidemic are H1N1 and H3N2 subtypes of influenza A virus and Victoria and Yamagata strains of influenza B virus. Among them, influenza A virus antigen is frequently mutated and highly contagious, which is the main culprit causing influenza epidemic.

How did we get the flu?

It is mainly transmitted by droplets produced when infected people talk, cough and sneeze, and may also be indirectly transmitted through contact with contaminated diet, tableware and towels. It may also spread through aerosols in crowded and poorly ventilated environments, which is highly contagious.

Influenza and the common cold

What’s the difference

The common cold is mainly sneezing, stuffy nose, runny nose and cough, while the flu has serious systemic symptoms. When the body has the following characteristics, it is suspected that it is the flu rather than the common cold: the high fever is obvious (38.9~40℃), and the body temperature rises rapidly in a short time; Pain is obvious (headache, sore throat, muscle ache); Fatigue is obvious; Severe cough is obvious.

Some people think that the flu is also a "big cold", which is no big deal. The common cold rarely has complications, while the flu is prone to complications such as pneumonia, myocarditis and encephalitis. For children, we should be especially alert to acute necrotizing encephalopathy. Once this serious complication occurs, the mortality rate is high. Generally speaking, children under 5 years old and patients with chronic basic diseases have a higher risk of serious illness.

Who is prone to the flu?

Most people are self-limited after influenza, but some people are at higher risk of serious complications after infection, including the elderly over 60 years old, children under 5 years old, pregnant women and patients with basic diseases.

Why do children

More susceptible to influenza

The reasons may be as follows:

(1) Schools and kindergartens are collective places, where children gather and have close contact. Once there are flu cases, it will easily lead to the spread of the disease and more cases;

(2) Children are naturally infected with influenza virus or have little vaccination, and their pre-existing immunity is weak, so their cross-protection effect on influenza virus is weak;

(3) Children’s own respiratory tract may be less developed than that of adults, and their own immune system is in a developing state, so they are vulnerable to respiratory viruses such as influenza and have symptoms.

What is the age of influenza vaccination?

How many shots do you need?

Children and adults over 3 years old are vaccinated with 1 injection; Children from 6 months to 3 years old were vaccinated with 2 injections. Please read the informed consent form of vaccination carefully before vaccination.

I was vaccinated against influenza last year.

Do you want to fight again this year?

Vaccination against influenza is the most economical and effective means to prevent influenza. The antibody level brought by influenza vaccine gradually decreased after 6 to 8 months, and the influenza virus was mutating every year. Every year, WHO will recommend the composition of influenza vaccine for the next season according to the epidemic situation, so that the composition of influenza vaccine may be different from that of the previous year. So, don’t be afraid of trouble. I got the flu vaccine last year, and I still have to get it this year.

Tuan Tuan reminds everyone

Recently, influenza has occurred frequently.

Wear a mask and take precautions.

The latest progress in AIDS treatment is expected to rewrite the future treatment pattern.

Original Lingjun medical field

The study once again suggests that monoclonal antibody combined therapy is one of the most promising methods to completely cure AIDS.

Author | Ling Jun

Source | "Medical" WeChat official account

On June 1, 2022, the top magazine Nature published a heavy research on AIDS treatment.

In the experiment, as an alternative therapy to conventional antiretroviral therapy (ART), the HIV level in the infected person was controlled for up to 43 weeks after the combination of two broad-spectrum neutralizing monoclonal antibodies.

Researchers believe that in the future, HIV-infected people may not need ART treatment every day, but only need low-frequency (such as biennial) medication, and perhaps combined with long-acting antiretroviral drugs, they can return to normal life.

Based on this research, Professor Lu Hongzhou, Dean of the Third People’s Hospital of Shenzhen, told the "medical field" that monoclonal antibody combination therapy is one of the most promising methods to completely cure AIDS. "At present, many studies have shown that low-frequency use of monoclonal antibody combination therapy can effectively maintain virus inhibition, but the virus will rebound after stopping drug use. It is expected to change this situation by further screening and developing long-acting monoclonal antibodies."

High level of HIV inhibition

Up to 43 weeks

Today, 40 years later, AIDS is no longer a "terminal disease".

With the advent of "highly effective antiretroviral therapy" (HAART), that is, cocktail therapy, the virus level in HIV-infected people has been effectively controlled, even reaching "non-infectious" in clinical indicators, and the life expectancy is close to that of ordinary people.

But the defects are also obvious. HIV-infected people need to take medicine every day and for life, and their compliance varies from person to person. Once the drug is stopped, the virus level in the body will rebound quickly. In addition, lifelong use of drugs may have long-term side effects and create the possibility for the emergence of drug-resistant viruses.

This time, the researchers conducted a small phase I clinical trial, and tested the combination therapy of two monoclonal antibodies, 3BNC117 and 10-1074, which are aimed at different targets, and are expected to bring a breakthrough in "long-term treatment".

The trial is divided into two parts. The first is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 14 infected people. They first received antiretroviral therapy (ART), then stopped taking drugs and received up to eight times of "monoclonal antibody combination therapy" or placebo-twice in the first month and once a month thereafter.

The results showed that, except one infected person who secretly recovered ART for fear of illness, the HIV levels of the other six placebo subjects all rebounded 28 weeks ago, and ART treatment must be restarted immediately, with a median time of 9.4 weeks.

All 7 people in the monoclonal antibody combined treatment group did not need to restart ART. Five of them showed a very high level of HIV viremia inhibition, and the effect lasted for up to 43 weeks, that is, 19 weeks after stopping the "monoclonal antibody combination therapy".

However, it is worth noting that in the second part of the experiment, the researchers recruited another five HIV-infected people who had not received ART. After the start of "monoclonal antibody combined therapy", only two people achieved complete inhibition of HIV, and the average duration was 41.7 weeks.

Further research found that the other three infected people whose virus levels were not controlled were resistant to two kinds of monoclonal antibodies.

The same findings also appeared in the first trial. Although there was no need to restart ART treatment in the treatment group, two people had a partial rebound in virus level in the first 8 weeks, which was also due to the existence of drug-resistant viruses in the body.

The researchers pointed out, "This suggests that the premise of treatment is that there can be no virus resistant to the corresponding monoclonal antibody in the infected person before administration.

Can we finally realize the "clinical cure" of AIDS?

This is not the first time to study the treatment of AIDS with 3BNC117 and 10-1074.

As early as 2018, the team of Professor Nussenzweig from Rockefeller University published a paper in Nature: After stopping ART, using this monoclonal antibody combination can effectively inhibit HIV for 15-30 weeks (median 21 weeks).

"They can inhibit HIV in infected people for several months, and may produce new methods to prevent and treat AIDS." In 2020, Rockefeller University published a document in official website, and the antibody combination has been acquired by a large multinational pharmaceutical company in the United States.

On April 13th, 2022, Professor Nussenzweig and his team updated the research progress again. All the infected people who received the combination therapy of the monoclonal antibody for 7 times still maintained virus inhibition within 21 to 48 weeks after stopping the injection.

Professor Lu Hongzhou told the medical community that monoclonal antibody therapy has been widely studied and applied in the field of HIV prevention and treatment in recent years, and it has been proved that it can inhibit HIV-1 infection in animal models for several years.

"The breakthrough significance of the latest research is that it is further confirmed that the combination therapy of broad-spectrum neutralizing monoclonal antibody can inhibit the virus level in human body for a long time, and it shows good safety and tolerance, which is expected to become an alternative to daily ART." Professor Lu Hongzhou said.

However, combined with the latest research, Professor Lu Hongzhou said that there are still some problems to be solved urgently.

First of all, the combination therapy of monoclonal antibodies needs to screen HIV drug resistance in the infected person in advance, and the sensitivity test for monoclonal antibodies requires high test technology itself, which may limit the popularization and application of this therapy.

"HIV virus has a high frequency of mutation and a variety of immune escape strategies, and the problem of drug resistance can not be ignored. Therefore, it is also the key to develop effective extended-spectrum neutralizing antibodies and jointly identify monoclonal antibodies against different targets of the virus in the future." Professor Lu Hongzhou said.

Secondly, the study mentioned that although it is expected to greatly reduce the frequency of drug use (only twice a year), in the current course of 8 doses, once the drug is completely stopped, the virus level will eventually rebound.

"Whether the infection process can be completely changed, that is, whether the virus can be suppressed for a long time after stopping the drug, needs to be finally solved and evaluated by increasing the previous course of treatment and extending the follow-up time." The researchers said.

Professor Lu Hongzhou believes that whether "long-acting monoclonal antibody combination" can help HIV-infected people to suppress the virus in their bodies for a long time (such as several years) and achieve the final "clinical cure" by clearing the HIV virus repository still needs longer-term clinical data to support.

The king of fruits in online celebrity, it’s expensive to smell.

The "durian blind box" with a brush screen has taught many people the secret of picking durian, but people hesitate for a long time in the rising and falling prices, for fear that they will be copied halfway up the mountain like buying stocks and funds in the past.

Title map | Figure worm creativity

Durian in Thailand, durian in Vietnam, durian in Hainan … In June, various varieties of "durian blind box" began to be listed on a large scale.

However, after a catty of durian is shelled, the edible durian meat will be 342 at most. If you want to eat a catty of golden pillow durian meat, you will have to spend at least hundreds of dollars.

Therefore, in order to choose the "rewarding durian" with thin skin and much meat, many durian lovers follow the online raiders and practice hard. Those who haven’t learned it have also found the "cheating artifact" and borrowed the subway security equipment to count how many rooms durian has.

In order to find "repay the durian", netizens have gone crazy. (Photo/Little Red Book @ Yang Yang or Yang Yang)

Everything is ready, just waiting for the price of durian to come down. At this critical moment, the topic of "durian is expensive" has frequently rushed to hot search.

Looking back at the end of April, durian came into the market in summer, and it was still a clever look. At that time, the hot search was that "the wholesale price of durian dropped to 20 yuan by 1 kg". By the end of May, the national average price of durian exceeded 45 yuan/kg, and a Thai golden pillow durian cost more than 200 pieces. In June, the price of "King of Fruits" dropped slightly, but it still failed to meet the expectations of netizens.

In mid-June, the first batch of Hainan durians will be listed soon. Is it expected to bring down the price? With the arrival of summer, durian matures in large quantities. Do we have a chance to realize "durian freedom"?

"I haven’t found the durian,

I was first retaliated by the price of durian. "

From May to August every year, a large number of durians will be mature and listed. According to the law of previous years, the price of durian will fall after the May Day holiday, but this year it is "abnormal".

According to official website of Guangzhou Jiangnan Fruit and Vegetable Wholesale Market, the wholesale price of imported durian hovered at 23 yuan/kg at the beginning of May this year, and then the price rose instead of falling. On May 17th, it broke through the average price of 25 yuan per catty, and continued to approach 30 yuan on May 29th, reaching 29.7 yuan/catty, with a monthly increase of about 30%.

In June, the wholesale price of imported durian dropped from a high level to the level of about 25 yuan per catty, but it has not yet fallen to the price of a month ago. According to China News Network, the wholesale price of durian imported from China in 2014 and 2015 can be as low as 9.9 yuan per catty.

Why is the price of durian so abnormal this year? Some people say that after Simba sold durian live, the price of durian rose from more than 20 pieces to more than 30 pieces, pointing out that the price of durian was "Simba hit it by himself". Later, the Guangzhou General Administration of Market Supervision came out to refute the rumor, saying that there was no evidence that Simba monopolized the market.

According to the statistics of China Customs, in 2022, the total import volume of durian in China was 825,000 tons, of which 780,000 tons came from Thailand. Simba’s live durian sales volume is about 4,800 tons, which is only equivalent to 0.61% of Thailand’s durian imports in the whole year.

What really drives the price of durian is not a few online celebrity, but the invisible hand of the market.

The price of durian fluctuates obviously with the season. Thailand’s golden pillow producing areas are distributed in eastern and southern Thailand. At the beginning of this year, the durian season in eastern Thailand started one month earlier than before, and ended earlier accordingly. By mid-May, it had reached the end of the durian season. The production season in southern Thailand will not start until the middle and early June. The time difference between the two real estate seasons also led to a small supply of gold pillows in Thailand in May and a high purchase price.

There is no supply of origin there, but the demand here is rising all the way. As early as before Simba’s live broadcast, durian had already become a traffic password, camped in the hearts of foodies, and its value rose.

Many new durian controllers said that the happiest thing is not to eat durian, but to open durian. "The family who understand, open to repay durian! There are actually 6 rooms of pulp! " After gambling on stones and opening pearl mussels, "opening durian blind box" has also become a short video content of explosion.

According to the observation of DT Finance, the number of Tik Tok topics # Surprise of peeling durian by hand # reached 540 million, and # It’s the season of opening durian blind box # reached 430 million. Xiaohongshu’s notes related to "durian blind box" reached 11,700 in the past month.

Whether it is a big "reward durian" or a small "revenge durian" comparable to durian sugar, it is presented in an instant when the box is opened. (Photo/@ Little Red Book)

Netizen @ A durian tree can accurately predict the growth of pulp before opening durian every time. She also invented cute and cute words such as "cream sharp", "abdominal muscle grain" and "pyramid dull" to refine the formula for picking durian.

Netizens have come up with the strength to prepare for the college entrance examination, and handed in their homework to the "durian tree teacher" from a distance. Every time durian is opened, those "schoolmasters" will also calculate the fruit rate and the gains and losses of durian selection.

After listening to the "cream tip", I found that every thorn of durian is full of personality. (Figure/@ A durian tree)

There are advertisements implanted in short videos, and durians are sold in live broadcasts. In recent years, there are also special offline durian family time and durian theme snack bars. The more familiar you are, the more you will like it, which is called "seeing more" in psychology. With the ubiquity of durian marketing, the domestic durian consumer market is growing rapidly.

According to the statistics of China Customs, from January to March 2023, the import of fresh durian in China was 91,400 tons, up about 154% year-on-year. In the first quarter of this year, 22.2 million durians entered the China market. Durian has a good chance to crush cherries again and win the top spot in China’s imported fruits.

Why is durian always so expensive?

After learning to pick durian, the only thing that prevents netizens from eating this delicious one is the high price.

The good news is that in June, the first batch of Hainan durians will be mature and listed, and durians in southern Thailand and Vietnam will also enter the peak season simultaneously, and the fresh fruit durians in the three places will be positive. With the increase of supply, the average price of durian in the first week of June has dropped from the end of May.

The not-so-good news is that the price of durian can’t fall to the level of 9 yuan and 9 yuan.

About 96% of durian eaten in China is imported from Thailand. Since durian depends on imports, transportation costs will naturally be added to the planting cost. Durian from Thailand will be picked when it is 78% mature, and it will gradually mature on the way to China.

Thai durian has to be picked before it is ripe. (Figure/Figure Worm Creativity)

If the transportation time is long or the picking time is not properly handled, durian will open its mouth in advance when it arrives in the hands of consumers in China, and the bad fruit rate is not a small cost.

Since everyone loves durian, why don’t we plant some durian ourselves? It’s not that I don’t want to, but that it’s more difficult.

Half a century ago, Hainan introduced the seedlings of durian with golden pillow, and planned to cultivate them locally. Unfortunately, the domestic durian with stable mass production and good flavor has not been harvested.

Durian is very picky about the planting environment. Durian trees love hot and humid weather, and can grow trees and blossom in Dongguan, Guangdong, but the temperature is very strict in the fruiting season, and it is difficult to stabilize the fruit in Wanning, Hainan.

Even in Southeast Asia, the yield of durian is related to the weather in the first phase. It rains when flowering, which affects pollination; As a result, it was difficult to pick when it was flooded. Unstable output will also cause price fluctuations.

Durian needs careful care from flowering to fruiting. (Photo/Wikipedia)

Now that durian is born in Hainan, can you beat down the price?

First of all, if you want to beat the price of durian, the young Hainan durian is not strong enough. Domestic durians in Hainan have been listed from the end of June to August, but ordinary consumers may not be able to buy domestic durians.

At present, durian trees in Hainan are still young trees, and the results are not too many. Our country consumes 700,000 tons of durian a year. This year, the output of durian in Hainan is expected to be less than 1,000 tons, which is not enough for the national "durian control".

In an interview with the media, durian growers in Hainan revealed that their varieties include golden pillow, black thorn, Maoshanwang, etc., and the initial price is 50 yuan a catty.

In addition, these new fruits also shoulder the heavy responsibility of opening up the market. Some of them will go to potential wholesale agents, while others will stay in orchards to entertain tourists.

Secondly, because it is imported fruit, the domestic pricing power of durian price is mainly in the hands of large wholesalers. The bargaining power of some Internet fresh-keeping platforms is ok, and they can get lower purchase prices, but after the brand premium, it is not necessarily cheap in the hands of consumers.

Small wholesalers have no bargaining power, and neither do small and medium-sized fruit shops. Ordinary people buying durian is like opening a blind box; Small fruit merchants sell durian, just like betting on size. Considering the high wholesale price and the deterioration of durian mouth, many small fruit shops are afraid to purchase.

Looking back on 2021, durian fruit merchants earned money by luck in the first half of the year, and lost it in the second half of the year, and sold it for a lonely year. Of course, many other expensive fruit transactions are also played by heartbeat.

The most important thing is the rising willingness to consume. From 2017 to 2022, the number of durian imported from Thailand in China increased fourfold.

The total import of durian in China is increasing year by year. (Photo/Ruiku Research Center)

Since 2016, the market demand of durian in China has been increasing rapidly. According to industry estimates, at that time, the sales of the whole fruit industry in China increased at an annual rate of 9%, while durian increased at a rate of 20% to 30%.

The purchasing price of durian in Thailand has soared together with the market demand in China. In 2013, the purchase price of a catty of durian in Thailand was about RMB 5 yuan. In 2017, the price of durian in Thailand soared to 30 yuan.

This rise, the price has never come down, has been maintained at 13-15 yuan per catty. This is only the purchase price of durian in Thailand, and it will double when it enters China’s retail market. In 2021, the purchasing price of durian in Thailand is in 17 yuan per catty, and the retail price can reach more than 50 yuan per catty.

If you really want to find out the behind-the-scenes pusher of durian’s rise, I am afraid it can only be all domestic foodies who have been fascinated by durian.

Durian freedom,

How can it be achieved?

In fact, behind every durian, there are a group of people who struggle for "durian freedom".

They build and operate transnational railways to make every durian fresher. According to CCTV, since the opening of China-Laos Railway in April this year, the time for transporting durian from Thailand to China has been greatly shortened, reaching Kunming in three days, which is about half of that by sea or truck.

The "Durian Train" from Madapu Station in Thailand to Guangzhou in China broke the fastest record of transporting fruit from Thailand to China, and the loss of fresh fruit caused by long-term transportation was also greatly reduced. Although the price of durian has been repeated in May, the decline in the cost of durian in Thailand is an irreversible trend.

In addition to speeding up land transportation, sea durian is also smoother. Guangzhou Nansha Port has 15 direct flights to Thailand durian every week, and it takes only 4 days for fresh durian to be transported from Linchaban Port in Thailand to Nansha Port.

According to the report of Guangzhou Daily, the price of durian will be more than 20% cheaper than that of Shangchao market because the intermediate logistics and distribution links are omitted and the goods are picked up directly next to the cargo ship in Nansha Port.

They talk about trade cooperation with Southeast Asian countries so that Chinese people can eat durian all year round. In addition to the familiar Thai gold pillows, Ganyao imported from Vietnam was also available in the domestic market in May.

From July, 2022, China allowed Vietnamese fresh durian to be imported. This is the result of four years of negotiations between China and Vietnam, during which hundreds of local plantations were organized to study durian in order to meet the food standards of China.

Viet Nam is adjacent to the border with China, and the transportation distance is shorter. From the durian producing area in Vietnam to Kunming in China, it can be delivered in one and a half days at the earliest, which greatly reduces the transportation cost and loss. Therefore, the price of durian in Vietnam is cheaper than that of durian in Thailand, which can better satisfy friends who love durian but have little budget.

According to the statistics of Vietnam’s agricultural department, the total export of durian in Vietnam in 2022 was close to US$ 400 million, of which US$ 300 million came from the wallets of China consumers.

Since last year, Vietnamese durian has also come to China. (Figure/Figure Worm Creativity)

Following Viet Nam, Philippine durian also knocked on the door of China market. At the beginning of April this year, the first batch of Philippine durians arrived in Shanghai by plane, officially starting the trip of Philippine fresh durians to China. It is reported that the import of frozen durian from Cambodia is also being actively tested.

With the increase of durian import sources, it will not only fill the gap of durian peak season in different places, but also ensure that consumers in China can "durian return" all year round, and introduce more competitors, which is expected to lower the price of durian in the near future.

Although the yield of durian made in Hainan is not high at present, the prospect is bright. Hainan durian is expected to become a kind of "ripe durian on the tree", which saves the complexity of transnational transportation and is fresher than durian imported from Southeast Asia.

According to experts’ estimation of fruit planting in Hainan, durian in Hainan will grow to 100,000 mu in three to five years, and the price is expected to stabilize at more than 10 yuan per catty when it reaches "350,000 mu".

The era of cheap durian may be in the near future.

The high-end layout has achieved results, and Xiaomi 2023 has made a new starting point.

Winter is getting farther and farther away, people are good with spring, and everything can be expected. After experiencing many uncertain challenges, Xiaomi Group ran out of profit in 2022, and it is likely to usher in another wave of upside in 2023.

On March 24th, Xiaomi Group released its annual financial report for 2022. The financial report shows that in 2022, Xiaomi achieved a total revenue of RMB 280 billion and an adjusted net profit of RMB 8.5 billion. Innovative business expenses such as smart electric vehicles are RMB 3.1 billion, and R&D expenditure in 2022 increased by 23% year-on-year.

The macroeconomic downturn, global inflation, the impact of the epidemic, consumer demand has been seriously challenged. IDC, an international data company, reported that in 2022, China’s smartphone market shipped about 286 million units, down 13.2% year-on-year, the biggest drop ever. After a lapse of 10 years, the shipments of smart phones in China once again fell to the market below 300 million yuan.

In the face of extremely difficult market environment, Xiaomi has enhanced its brand competitiveness with high-end strategy in the past three years, and the promotion of high-end strategy has achieved initial results. According to the financial report, Xiaomi’s global smartphone shipments remained the third, reaching 150 million units, and smartphone ASP achieved three consecutive years of growth. The monthly active users of Xiaomi’s global smartphones also ushered in a record high. As of December 2022, the number of monthly active users of MIUI worldwide increased by 14.4% year-on-year to 582 million, and the sustained growth momentum presented and promoted the company’s resilient development.

At the beginning of this year, Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi, recently issued an internal letter saying that 2023 is a year for Xiaomi to start a new development cycle, and it is also the time for a series of profound changes to enter the deep water area. The group is at the starting line of a new stage.

According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, many economic indicators showed positive changes, and the economic recovery started. Guosheng Securities believes that consumer electronics will experience a weak demand side in 2022 and is expected to usher in a replacement cycle repair in the next two years. This year, Xiaomi Group launched a new business strategy of "paying equal attention to scale and profit", and built up a strengthened system capability, laying a solid foundation for the long-term development in the next 5-10 years, and fully preparing for a new round of outbreaks in the next 2-3 years.

High-end strategy has achieved initial results

With the low-end market share, China brand has occupied more than half of the global mobile phone market, which on the one hand makes the market scale, on the other hand makes the brand face the dilemma of positioning and profit, and seriously limits its innovation ability. Standing at an important turning point of high-quality economic development, high-end layout has become the general trend of the transformation and upgrading of China brands and China manufacturing.

In 2022, the average selling price (ASP) of Xiaomi’s global smartphones reached a record high, reaching RMB 1111. At the same time, in the fourth quarter of 2022, the smartphone ASP in Xiaomi mainland increased by over 14% year-on-year, and the shipment of high-end smartphones (RMB3,000 and above) accounted for 6.8 percentage points year-on-year. According to third-party data, in the fourth quarter of 2022, the sales volume of Xiaomi smartphones in Chinese mainland market ranked first in the price range of RMB 3,000-4,000, and second in the price range of RMB 4,000-5,000.

In view of the trend of younger and more entertaining consumption and the increase of female users, in July 2022, Xiaomi launched the first Xiaomi 12S Ultra equipped with two self-developed chips, namely, 澎湃 G1 and 澎湃 P1, to realize the combination of one-inch outsole and Leica image aesthetics, and to provide a brand-new mobile image experience for image lovers. In August 2022, Xiaomi launched a new generation of folding screen flagship Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 to help Xiaomi open the ultra-high-end market of folding screen. The "high-end stable price" strategy maintained by these two high-end models during their life cycle has effectively promoted the rise of Xiaomi ASP, and is also conducive to Xiaomi’s further promotion of high-end strategy.

At the end of 2022, Xiaomi teamed up with Leica to build the Xiaomi 13 series with self-developed chips, and with the new MIUI14 system, the smooth experience was improved by 60%. Under the blessing of aesthetics and algorithms, the image experience was even better. It is reported that the Xiaomi 13 series has been ranked first in the price range of RMB 4,000-6,000 in the Android camp in Chinese mainland market for 7 consecutive weeks. As of January 12th, 2023, the favorable rate of this series in JD.COM was over 99%, which attracted loyal powder and iron powder, and will also witness and promote Xiaomi to grow into a high-end brand.

Dare to invest in the long run

Since 2007, smart phones in China have developed for nearly 16 years. Being a brand lies in the morning and evening, and so does being a high-end brand. Long-term activists should lay out the present based on the future.

High-end products depend on high-end technology. It can also be seen from the financial report that even under the pressure of internal and external pressure in 2022, Xiaomi still attaches importance to research and development and dares to invest. In 2022, Xiaomi Group’s R&D expenditure was RMB 16 billion, up by 23% year-on-year, with a five-year compound growth rate of 38.4%. Xiaomi estimates that the total R&D investment in five years (2022 -2026) will exceed RMB 100 billion. By December 2022, the proportion of Xiaomi R&D personnel in the total staff has increased to nearly 50%, accumulating human resources for continuous development and innovation.

The technological innovation in the intelligent era is a multi-dimensional integration of cross-industry, cross-scene and cross-region. Xiaomi actively deploys smart phones, smart cars, robots and other fields. It is estimated that the total R&D investment will exceed RMB 100 billion in five years (2022 -2026), and a perfect talent incentive mechanism will be established. By the end of 2022, Xiaomi’s R&D personnel accounted for nearly half, and held a million-dollar technology award for four consecutive years.

China brand has enjoyed the dividend of digital development, but the appearance of high-end final results still needs to go through many tests. Firmly believe and persist in investment, there will be accumulation and opportunities.

Going to overseas differentiation strategic market

"The macro environment will gradually improve, and it will still take some time for a full recovery." Lu Weibing, president of Xiaomi Group, attended the telephone call for the first time, and said that 2022 will be a year in which Xiaomi’s ability will be reborn. Looking forward to 2023, Xiaomi will still have to "cross the cycle". Crossing the cycle is not an easy task. The high-end strategy promotes Xiaomi products and brands to leap upwards, go overseas and seek a bigger world in a wider and higher place.

According to Xiaomi Group’s financial report, 75% of the global shipments of smartphones in 2022 came from overseas markets. "Focus on steady operation and differentiate our strategic market", Lu Weibing stressed at the telephone conference that Xiaomi will promote high-end brand in key markets around the world. At present, China mobile phone manufacturers still rely on low-end models to achieve "scale" overseas. It is reported that the international version of Xiaomi 13 series has been released in March this year. Whether the high-end flagship of Xiaomi it represents can really "profit" overseas, I believe the market will give an answer soon.

In addition to mobile phone products, Xiaomi’s overseas Internet business grew strongly in 2022, and its total annual revenue increased by 35.2% year-on-year to RMB 6.8 billion. In the fourth quarter of 2022, Xiaomi’s overseas Internet service revenue increased by 19.4% year-on-year, reaching RMB 1.9 billion, a record high, and its proportion in the overall Internet service revenue increased to 26.1%. As an important advantage of Xiaomi, the scale effect of intelligent hardware and digital ecological operation give Xiaomi the growth through different cycles.

Intelligent ecology strengthens core values

Based on the huge hardware installation base, Xiaomi has put high-quality, cost-effective and other rich product combinations into different life scenes through artificial intelligence technology and the Internet of Things, linking thousands of active users, stimulating the stickiness of high-frequency consumption, and building a smart ecosystem of Xiaomi, which has always been the core value of Xiaomi.

The product-side force leads to the user experience. In the financial report, it is directly reflected in the corresponding data growth. In 2022, the global shipment of Xiaomi Smart TV reached 12.4 million units, and the annual revenue of smart home appliances increased by over 40% year-on-year. In the fields of office and family entertainment, the annual shipments of Xiaomi tablet increased by over 160% year-on-year, and the shipments in Chinese mainland in the fourth quarter reached a single-season high. According to Canalys data, in 2022, the market share of Xiaomi tablet in Chinese mainland increased to the third place, and its leading edge continued to be released.

The synergy between channel layout and product structure has been further deepened. In 2022, the GMV of channel AIoT products under Xiaomi line increased by over 27% year-on-year, maintaining a good growth trend.

The financial report shows that in 2022, Xiaomi’s revenue from IoT and consumer products reached RMB 79.8 billion, of which the revenue in the fourth quarter was RMB 21.4 billion, achieving a 12.5% month-on-month increase. As of December 31, 2022, the number of connected devices (excluding smartphones, tablets and laptops) on Xiaomi AIoT platform increased by 35.8% year-on-year to 589 million; In December 2022, the number of monthly users of Xiaoai and Mijia APP increased by 7.1% and 18.6% respectively, reaching 115 million and 75.8 million.

Large-scale ecological creation tests the R&D and manufacturing capabilities behind the products, but ultimately depends on the improvement of efficiency and benefits brought by digitalization. This year, Xiaomi put forward the business idea of "paying equal attention to scale and profit" for the first time. At the same time, the Group Management Committee and the Group Human Resources Committee were established to coordinate and optimize the strategic structure, operation management and resource allocation, focus on improving quality and efficiency, and promote the construction of professional long-term management system.

It is foreseeable that the headwind factors brought by the macro-environment are gradually easing, and consumer demand and the vitality of scientific and technological innovation continue to be released. However, Lu Weibing stressed that Xiaomi should be cautiously optimistic about the market in 2023, "strengthen risk management and pay attention to steady operation." He hopes that by improving the internal efficiency of Xiaomi, the profit target will be finely managed at the executive level.

With caution and optimism, it remains to be seen how Xiaomi will perform in the new year as the company promotes innovative business, continues to tackle key scientific and technological problems and improve its management model.
