Lei Jun, Chairman and CEO, announced that Xiaomi Automobile Technology Conference will be held on December 28th.

In today’s era when technology is changing with each passing day, the automobile industry is also undergoing unprecedented changes, and electric vehicles (EV) are becoming a new technology hotspot. Xiaomi Group, a technology giant that started with smart phones, has now officially entered this highly competitive field. In March 2021, Xiaomi announced that it would enter the automobile industry. Since then, the progress of Xiaomi Automobile has been receiving much attention. Now, with less than half a year to go before the mass production of Xiaomi’s first car, Lei Jun, founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi Group, announced that it will hold a Xiaomi car technology conference at 2 pm this Thursday, which will be the first official appearance of Xiaomi car.

The technical conference of Xiaomi Automobile is a milestone, which marks the official debut of Xiaomi in the automobile industry. Although the theme of the conference is technology rather than products, it still shows that Xiaomi has made remarkable progress in automotive technology and is ready to share these achievements with the public and the industry. Lei Jun’s circle of friends further emphasized the importance of this point, and his words revealed his confidence in Xiaomi’s automobile technology.

Before this conference, Xiaomi Auto’s official social media account has been launched, which indicates that Xiaomi Auto’s brand building and marketing activities have started, and Xiaomi is preparing to enter the vast auto market. In the latest Catalogue of New Energy Vehicles Exempted from Vehicle Purchase Tax issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the information of Xiaomi’s first model SU7 was officially disclosed, which further deepened the public’s expectation for Xiaomi.

The technical parameters of Xiaomi SU7 show Xiaomi’s ambition in electric vehicle technology. Two kinds of battery packs with different capacities and different cruising ranges, as well as technical support to BYD and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, two major battery manufacturers, all show Xiaomi’s in-depth research and cooperation in battery technology of electric vehicles. In particular, the options of different battery capacity and different vehicle kerb quality provide responses to different market demands.

Judging from Lei Jun’s promise, Xiaomi Automobile will show cutting-edge technology and high-level manufacturing capability when it is released. This commitment is not only a strong signal to consumers, but also shows the automobile industry that Xiaomi is a new competitor with foresight and strength. Xiaomi’s brand influence and successful experience in the field of intelligent hardware may bring new innovation and vitality to the automobile industry.

All in all, the upcoming technical conference of Xiaomi Automobile is a key moment in Xiaomi’s journey into the automobile industry. It will not only show Xiaomi’s latest achievements in automotive technology, but also lay the foundation for the market launch of Xiaomi’s first mass-produced car. With the official appearance of Xiaomi Automobile, we have reason to expect how Xiaomi will show its innovative spirit and technical strength in this new field full of challenges and opportunities.

The founding team of Super Simple Songs, a popular children’s song in the world, came to China to study enlightenment courses with Xiao Youqu.

On November 1st, the founding team of the popular children’s song Super Simple Songs (hereinafter referred to as "SSS children’s songs") visited China. The founder Devon, together with the "lead singer" Caitie, had a discussion with Xiaoxiao Youqu team and users, and listened to the feedback of China users on SSS children’s songs.
SSS children’s songs have had a good response in China market since Xiaoxiaoyouqu exclusively imported them, winning the favor of hundreds of thousands of middle-class parents in first-and second-tier cities. The trip to China by the founding team of Super Simple Songs also includes an important task, which is to jointly develop English enlightenment courses with the small and interesting teaching and research team, and strive to bring more original and loved English enlightenment teaching contents to China children.
Xiaoxiaoyouqu exclusively imported SSS, which gained the reputation of hundreds of thousands of users.
In recent years, there has been a whirlwind of Super Simple Songs all over the world. Xiaoyouqu, as the only children’s animation platform and complete works viewing channel with SSS imported from China, has played a vital role in the spread and promotion of Super Simple Songs in China.
Up to now, SSS nursery rhymes have been played 36.768 million times on Himalayan platform. In 10 months, the number of Tik Tok fans of Xiaoyouqu has soared from 0 to 740,000, and 227 promotional videos of SSS nursery rhymes have been played more than 65 million times. Xiaoxiaoyouqu also joined hands with Yuebaoyuan, a chain early education institution, to launch an English children’s song contest in more than 300 early education center stores nationwide, covering more than 80,000 families.
Over the past year, under the vigorous promotion of Xiao Youqu, SSS children’s songs have become the first choice of "English grinding ears" passed down by many parents. Zhao Ziyan, an English prodigy who has been reported by CCTV news and the youngest English teacher in Tik Tok, is also learning SSS nursery rhymes with Little Youqu APP. The mother of Yanzai said that the initial English enlightenment of children began with learning SSS nursery rhymes.
In the process of communicating with Little Youqu Team, founder Devon said excitedly after learning about the performance of Super Simple Songs in China, "I am very happy to see that Super Simple Songs can play an important role in the English enlightenment of children in China, so that children can feel that" learning English is no big deal "and have a strong interest in English, which is more important than how many words they can learn from a few nursery rhymes, which is also the original intention of SSS creation. “
SSS’s founding team worked closely with Xiaoyouyou to create an original enlightenment English course.
Little Youqu Team has received a lot of feedback from users. After children watch SSS children’s songs animation, there will be many learning effects that surprise their parents-children over one year old can clap their hands and turn around with the animation, and children over two years old can say words and sentences … The content is good, but if they can have matching picture books, intelligent hardware and systematic courses, I believe the learning effect will be better.
In order to better meet the needs of users, Xiaoxiaoyouqu has set up an English enlightenment course project team. This team will cooperate with SSS team in depth, and on the basis of retaining the unique advantages of SSS, combine the growth environment and learning rules of children in China to develop English enlightenment courses together. In the setting of teaching links, this course will deeply implement SSS’s concept of "English is no big deal", and integrate various forms such as watching cartoons, listening to children’s songs, singing lyrics, reading picture books, doing handicrafts, etc., fully mobilize children’s sense of participation and enthusiasm, make children’s learning process more relaxed and natural, and make their knowledge more solid, which truly conforms to the law of language acquisition by "learning by playing".
It is reported that the cooperation between Xiaoxiaoyouqu and SSS children’s songs is not limited to this. In addition to exclusively introducing SSS children’s songs and jointly developing English enlightenment courses, Xiaoxiaoyouqu also exclusively introduced a full range of 14 IPS of Super Simple, including Mr. Monkey the Repairman with the theme of STEAM and Carl’s Laundry with the theme of vehicle cognition, etc., so that children in China can keep pace with their English learning abroad.

Brand of "domestic substitution" in beauty industry chain: R&D upgrading, cultural self-confidence, high-end diversion

From 2012 to 2021, the share of local skin care increased first and then decreased, and the share of local makeup increased by nearly 14pcts; in ten years; At present, the channel and media dividends have faded, local high-quality leading brands have increased investment in research and development, product strength has increased, and high-end has quietly advanced; At the same time, local brands have a deeper understanding of domestic channels and marketing, and local brands have diverted to international high-end brands, and their overall share has entered the bottom area, and their future promotion is expected.

▍ China skin care market: the share of local brands rises first and then falls; At present, the local leading brands are diverging from international high-end brands, and their share is at the bottom.

2012-2021: The share of local skin care increased from 24.8% in 2012 to 34.3% in 2018, and then fell back to 27.7% in 2021; The share of French brands has increased from stable (14% ~ 15% in 2012-2018) to 22.1% in 2021, which is closely related to the strong product strength of French brands and their advantages in sensitive repair and anti-aging. Korean brand share rose first and then stabilized, from 1.2% to 4.5% in 2012-2016, then the mass line weakened but the high-end line increased, and the overall share was stable. Since 2022, many factors such as marketing, channels and local epidemic have caused many changes in the trend. Among them, the local leading companies are becoming increasingly high-end, and the diversion of overseas high-end brands is expected to drive the local share to the bottom.

▍ China makeup market: the share of local brands has been promoted to the leading position, and the high-end has been quietly promoted.

2012-2021: The share of local cosmetics increased from 15.0% to 28.8%, and increased by nearly 14pcts; in 10 years; The share of American makeup decreased from 33.8% to 16.2%, a decrease of 17.6pcts;; After 2016, the share of French make-up increased to 30%+,which is closely related to its advantages in brand heritage, fashion leading and product strength. The share of Korean makeup increased from 7.0% in 2012 to 11.7% in 2016, and then decreased to 8.3% in 2021. Local make-up brands have changed significantly since 2021H2: 1) From fashionable color products (lipstick, eye shadow, etc.) to technical foundation (liquid foundation, etc.), from flow play to brand building; 2) Increase R&D investment, rely on cultural confidence, and strive to catch up with international brands in some sub-categories and product series.

▍ The channel and media dividends faded, and local brands increased investment in R&D, returned to product strength and accumulated brand strength.

Channel change: from 2001 to 2010, CS stores, supermarkets and other brands gave birth to beauty channels; In 2011-2015, the offline was good, the online rose, and the brand enjoyed a double-line bonus; In 2016-2021H, international brands increased rapidly, and new brands emerged; Since 2021H, channel and media dividends have subsided.

Marketing change: from celebrity endorsement to multidimensional grass planting, from big-screen advertising to content marketing and value recognition.

Advanced R&D: In recent years, the brand of skin care of pharmaceutical origin has performed outstandingly, from "medicine" to "makeup", with better quality control and efficacy; Local brands such as Polaiya/Betani/Huaxi /PMPM gather head R&D talents at home and abroad; Synthetic biotechnology promotes the innovation iteration of beauty raw materials, local raw material enterprises flourish, and the curtain of domestic substitution of raw materials opens.

▍ Risk factors:

Discount promotion of international brands suppresses local brands; The relationship between beauty brands and e-commerce platforms is unbalanced; It takes time to accumulate significant results in R&D investment; Scattered epidemic situation repeatedly affects the demand and sales of beauty; Policy supervision strictly affects the growth rate of the industry; The speed and range of domestic substitution of raw materials may not meet expectations.

▍ Investment suggestion:

As a typical optional consumer product, beauty cosmetics have both efficacy and spiritual attributes, with efficacy depending on technology and spirit relying on culture. Local brands increase investment in R&D, and product strength is quietly improved; At the same time, we have a deeper understanding of local channels and marketing. It is expected that the share of high-end and ultra-high-end will increase in the future, which will drive the overall share to rebound. At the present stage of fading dividends and full competition, strong marketing, channels, operational capabilities and sustained high R&D investment are indispensable.

Running away from Baidu, he became a scientist and entrepreneur! Zeng said that scientists should start their business from the future.

From scientist to entrepreneur, Yu Kai is not the first person to "run away" in the field of artificial intelligence.

Despite the previous achievements in scientific research, joining in entrepreneurship means facing the reality of bone feeling.

In March 2015, Yu Kai said in an interview: "If a business can get the resources it deserves to do what it wants, then choose to start a business; If you join a big platform and have more resources to do one thing, then join a big platform. " Sure enough, three months after that, he left Baidu and founded Horizon.

Yu Kai

From the initial "no one pays the bill" to October this year, Horizon successfully won the investment of 2.4 billion euros from Volkswagen, setting the largest single investment record for Volkswagen in the past 40 years, and establishing a joint venture company with audi ag’s software company. The transformation of Yu Kai’s identity can be described as unsuccessful.

Before becoming the founder of Horizon, Yu Kai’s label was the top international scholar in the field of machine learning and the main promoter of deep learning technology in China. His published papers were cited more than 20,000 times, and he won the silver award for the best paper in ICML-2013 International Machine Learning Conference. He himself also served as the domain chairman of ICML and NIPS, two major conferences of machine learning.

Yu Kai’s achievements in the academic field go far beyond this.

NEC Research Institute of the United States was once one of the major centers of international machine learning research. During his tenure, Yu Kai established a highly prestigious technology research and development team in Silicon Valley. This team is one of the earliest and most active teams in the field of deep learning in the world. A series of technologies led and developed by him have pushed image object recognition to a new level worldwide, and won many international famous awards.

After joining Baidu in 2012, the voice technology team, deep learning technology team and image technology team led by Yu Kai won the "Baidu’s highest award" three times in succession, creating records of various technical and business teams within Baidu.

In the eyes of outsiders, Yu Kai at that time, both academically and professionally, was smooth sailing.

But at this time, he chose to start a business.

Yu Kai’s reason is straightforward: "In the past three years, what I have done at Baidu is to promote artificial intelligence in the cloud. But I think there will be a bigger trend in the next few years that I have to do: from artificial intelligence in the cloud to artificial intelligence around everyone. "

Therefore, Yu Kai, who has always believed in "doing things is the most important thing", founded Beijing Horizon Information Technology Co., Ltd. in July 2015, focusing on edge computing in the field of artificial intelligence.

From the moment the company was founded, in his own words: First of all, I will forget that I am a scientist more and more.

To be a scientist, you can put the mainexperienceDo research and write papers, but as an entrepreneur, you should focus more on business and customer needs.

Yu Kai has always wanted to grasp some "truth" things in this process, for example, things that can really create long-term value. With this idea in mind, at the beginning of Horizon’s establishment, he played the slogan of "making brains for machines", and avoided the edge of the field giants, took the edge computing route, and insisted on making AI chips.

It was really hard at first.

When recalling the initial stage of starting a business and determining the development direction, Yu Kai mentioned: At that time, we were predicting a far future, a future that might take 20 years as its dimension. From computers to smart phones, and beyond, what is a bigger computing platform than these? At that time, they were sure,beRobot computing platform. AI chip is the indispensable key to realize this calculation.

Now that we hear about AI chips, it’s needless to say its importance. But when Horizon was founded, not every investor could understand the "blueprint" in Yu Kai’s eyes. As a direct result, the horizon was once unsustainable. Until smart cars become "robots"calculate"The first and biggest landing scene at present, everyone began to understand that Yu Kai had bet on it.

In 2020, smart cars ushered in an outbreak period. As a result, there is a global "lack of core" in the automotive industry.question.

A chip with excellent computing power, like a smart brain, can accurately control the behavior of the vehicle. A series of functions, such as environmental awareness, route planning, driving assistance and so on, advertised by smart cars all need to rely on chips to be realized.

This is also consistent with what Yu Kai has always wanted to do. He has always believed that the real significance of artificial intelligence is not to survive and develop as the opposite of human life, but to support people’s decision-making and enhance their ability. Once the smart car scene is broken down, this ability will definitely spill over to others.floatApplication scenario of robot.

In August 2019, Horizon announced the mass production of China’s first car-class AI chip "Journey 2";

In September 2020, Horizon officially launched the AI chip "Journey 3";

In July, 2021, Horizon released "Journey 5", a high-performance and large-computing, full-scene intelligent central computing chip for the whole vehicle.

……

Yu Kai once said, "The course of a scientist’s entrepreneurship is not based on business opportunities,FromStart in the future. "

This cooperation between Horizon and Volkswagen may be the next future in Yu Kai’s plan.

AGV handling robot-a new star of unmanned warehousing logistics in the future-wood ant robot
