Last week, Musk predicted that the SpaceX heavy-duty launch vehicle would be launched this week, and said that the probability of successful launch was 50%. I thought he was modest, but I didn’t expect to give us a shot.

Last night, the starship announced that it would postpone the launch 40 seconds before the test flight. The reason for the cancellation was that there was a problem with the pressurization system of the super-heavy booster, specifically, the pressure valve was frozen, so the launch plan was temporarily cancelled.

The next launch will have to wait at least 48 hours. This morning, SpaceX announced that it will conduct a flight test two days later, that is, on the morning of April 20, EST.

According to the original plan, three minutes after liftoff, the starship will separate from the booster rocket, fly about 150 kilometers above the surface, and finally splash down near Hawaii.

SpaceX is so cautious, because before the starship, SN8 crashed hard in the test, and the original intention of the starship design is to achieve multiple recycling, which will greatly reduce the cost of rocket launch, so before the starship is successfully launched, all caution is worthwhile.

According to the recruitment release of Shanghai Lingang, the Tesla Energy Storage Super Factory, which just signed a contract to settle in Shanghai Lingang recently, began to recruit. In 2019, when the Tesla Shanghai factory was completed for recruitment, there was a recruitment fever.

Tesla staff revealed that an ordinary front-line worker has a basic salary of 5K+ per month, and other incomes include bonuses, allowances, overtime pay, etc., with an average monthly income of nearly 10,000 yuan. In addition, there are 7% five insurances and one gold, 5% housing accumulation fund, free working meals, free shuttle bus, and free commercial insurance for the whole family.

But late last week, some people tweeted to the accounts of elon musk, his mother Meyer Musk and Tesla on Musk’s Twitter, saying, "Please note that the performance (bonus) of the front-line workers in Tesla’s Shanghai factory has been arbitrarily deducted. 」

Two workers mentioned that their supervisor informed them that their quarterly bonus was cut at the weekend. When asked about the reason, Tesla’s supervisor mentioned a "safety accident" that happened in February this year. It is said that the accident caused the death of a worker.

Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, expressed his concern about the rapid development of artificial intelligence and its potential threat to society in the CBS program "60 Minutes".

"I always think that AI (artificial intelligence) is the most profound technology that human beings are studying, which is deeper than fire, electricity or anything we have done in the past."

Pichai believes that society needs to adapt to new technologies, and all walks of life may be affected, and artificial intelligence may subvert the work of "knowledge workers." He emphasized the risks of generative artificial intelligence, such as deep forgery of videos, called for supervision, and pointed out that those who made these videos must bear the consequences.

New technology will affect every product of every company. Take radiologists as an example. In the next five to ten years, artificial intelligence may become their assistant to help with priority tasks.

He emphasized the necessity of supervision, saying that anyone who has worked with artificial intelligence will realize that it is so different and profound that we need social regulations to think about how to adapt.

He also mentioned that Google’s AI technology was used in a harmful way, which made him sleepless at night.

How is the property market in the second half of the year? "Housing without speculation" will remain the main line of policy.

  According to previous years’ practice, analyzing the current economic situation, Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party, which will deploy economic work in the second half of the year, is expected to be held in the near future, and what attitude it will make on the regulation of the property market, or set the tone for the market trend in the second half of the year.

  Some insiders believe that the differentiation characteristics of the domestic real estate market are increasingly obvious, and policy control tends to be strengthened in some areas. It is expected that the policy will adhere to one city and one policy in the third quarter, and some areas may continue to tighten, which will have an inhibitory effect on market transactions in some overpriced cities. Housing enterprises need to flexibly formulate strategies for destocking.

  Five of the seven meetings involved real estate.

  Since July 2017, Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party, with economy as the main topic, has been held seven times. Except for the two meetings on October 31, 2018 and December 13, 2018, the other five meetings made important statements on the real estate market.

  For example, on July 31, 2018, Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party made up his mind to solve the real estate market problem, adhere to the policy of the city, promote the balance between supply and demand, reasonably guide expectations, rectify the market order, and resolutely curb the rise in housing prices. Accelerate the establishment of a long-term mechanism to promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market.

  The latest one was April 19th, 2019, when Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party demanded that the house be used for living, not for speculation, and that a long-term regulation mechanism of "one city, one policy, one policy according to the city and the main responsibility of the city government" should be implemented.

  This is also the second half of 2018, after failing to mention the real estate content twice in a row, Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party revisited the slogan of "housing and not speculating". In the industry’s view, this move is also expected.

  In the first quarter of 2019, due to the expectation of policy relaxation, the actual easing of funds and the actual downward trend of credit interest rates, the real estate market showed a warming state, and the property market "Xiaoyangchun" started to increase, and the wave of land grabbing in hot cities resumed.

  In this context, Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party once again mentioned that housing is not speculation, which shows that he is paying close attention to the warming of hot cities’ markets, breaking the previous expectation that hot cities will relax restrictions on purchases and loans, and also to prevent risks such as rising prices in the real estate market.

  After Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party set the tone of property market regulation in April this year, the regulation policies of subsequent ministries and local governments followed.

  Zhang Dawei, chief analyst of Zhongyuan Real Estate, said that in the first half of 2019, the national real estate regulation and control policies reached 251 times, up 31% year-on-year compared with 192 times in the first half of 2018.

  "Real estate regulation and control policies have shown a significant tightening trend since mid-April. In the past two months, real estate has been regulated for nearly 100 times, and the density is at the highest stage in history. " Zhang Dawei said.

  On the day of Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party (April 19th), according to the requirements of monthly analysis, quarterly evaluation and annual assessment determined by the scheme of long-term real estate mechanism, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development gave early warning tips to six cities with large fluctuations in house prices and land prices in the first quarter of 2019.

  One month later, on May 18th, in order to further implement the main responsibility of the real estate market in regulating cities, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development gave early warning tips to Foshan, Suzhou, Dalian and Nanning, four cities where the price index of newly-built commercial housing and second-hand housing has increased greatly in recent three months.

  The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development requires all localities to resolutely implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, always adhere to the positioning that houses are used for living, not for speculation, further strengthen market monitoring and analysis, solve problems in market operation in time, and earnestly implement the requirements of stabilizing land prices, housing prices and expectations to ensure the stable and healthy development of the real estate market.

  Suzhou, which was warned by the "yellow card" of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, upgraded its real estate control measures twice in a row on May 11th and July 24th this year.

  Why should Suzhou continuously upgrade its regulation? The Supplementary Opinions on Further Promoting the Sustainable and Healthy Development of the City’s Real Estate Market issued by Suzhou Municipal People’s Government emphasizes that the regulation and upgrading of the property market is based on "persistence ’ A house is for living, not for speculation ’ Positioning, the implementation of stable land prices, stable housing prices, stable expectations, curb speculative real estate speculation, and reasonably guide market expectations.

  The one-day tour of Kaifeng property market policy sends a signal to the outside world that regulation will not be relaxed easily. On July 19th, Kaifeng Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau issued a document to adjust the property market sales restriction policy, which was considered as a loose regulation implemented by third-and fourth-tier cities due to the downturn of the property market. However, one day later, Kaifeng Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau itself announced the cancellation of the document.

  On July 20th, Kaifeng Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau said that due to its decision to "adjust the trading time limit of newly purchased commercial housing and cancel the filing restrictions", it did not conduct sufficient market research and demonstration, and lacked sufficient pre-judgment and evaluation of the possible market impact, so it revoked this decision and withdrew the relevant letter.

  Suzhou’s upgrading regulation and one-day tour of Kaifeng’s loosening policy have different measures, but the logic behind them tends to be the same: the current property market regulation is easy to tighten but difficult to loosen.

  Yan Yuejin, research director of the think tank center of Yiju Research Institute, said that Suzhou’s policy overweight is similar to Kaifeng’s policy of loosening restrictions on sales, that is, housing and not speculating is the policy logic in the second half of this year, and there is no possibility of relaxation. Relevant market participants must fully realize the importance of stabilizing the market at present. The introduction of similar policies has also formed good conditions for the subsequent control of investment speculative demand and stable expectations.

  In the second half of the year, housing enterprises will reduce prices and promote sales?

  The fluctuation of the real estate market in China is closely related to the policy adjustment, and it also provides a basis for the next policy adjustment.

  Guo Shiying, an analyst at Zhuge Housing Search Data Research Center, told CBN that if we want to predict the follow-up policy direction, we should first pay attention to the changes in the two major indicators of real estate prices and transaction volume. "Stabilizing land prices, stabilizing housing prices and stabilizing expectations" will still be the main tone of regulation.

  According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, from January to June, the sales area of commercial housing nationwide was 757.86 million square meters, down 1.8% year-on-year, and the decline rate was 0.2 percentage points higher than that in January to May. Among them, the residential sales area decreased by 1.0%. The sales volume of commercial housing was 7,069.8 billion yuan, up by 5.6%, and the growth rate dropped by 0.5 percentage point.

Source: National Bureau of Statistics

  In 2018, the national sales area of commercial housing exceeded 1.7 billion square meters, a record high. Even though the sales area in the first half of 2019 decreased by 1.8% year-on-year, the total volume was still at a high level in recent years.

  On July 15th, Mao Shengyong, director and spokesperson of the National Statistics Department of the National Bureau of Statistics, said at the press conference of the State Council Office that the current real estate market is generally stable in terms of housing price, real estate investment, real estate sales, construction area and land transaction. From the next stage, on the one hand, urbanization is still advancing, and there is still a need for improvement, which is a support. On the other hand, the concept of "housing without speculation" is more and more deeply rooted in people’s hearts, emphasizing "policy based on the city" and emphasizing the main responsibility of the city government. These two factors are combined, and it is possible to stabilize land prices, house prices and expectations in the real estate market in the next stage.

  Yan Yuejin said that the first half of this year is an important stage to actively implement the policy of "stabilizing housing prices and stabilizing expectations", and the phenomenon of high housing prices in some cities has also been well curbed. Of course, in the actual process, some supporting houses such as well-occupied school districts still have speculation, and some sales that seem to have reduced prices also have illegal charges. Similar situations require continued strengthening of house price control, especially in the third quarter of this year. The policy is further tightened. For related housing enterprises, they may take the initiative to reduce prices and promote sales in the third quarter.

  He believes that the policy in the third quarter is mainly tight, which may also have an inhibitory effect on market transactions. Judging from this, the possibility of rising residential inventory will increase, and some housing enterprises also need to flexibly formulate strategies for destocking.

  Although the overall sales decline has narrowed, which is close to the same period last year, the regional differences in the domestic real estate market have gradually increased. From the sales area of commercial housing, the local property market is uneven, with some doubling (Beijing) and some falling by more than 50% (Hainan).

  According to the data provided by Zhuge’s housing search, from the perspective of the new housing market, cities at all levels have different performances, with the first line rebounding, the second line stabilizing and the third and fourth lines cooling down. In the first half of 2019, the total transaction volume of commercial housing in three first-tier cities in Beishang and Shenzhen was about 12.54 million square meters, a year-on-year increase of 43.89%. The transaction area of second-tier representative cities was about 114.1 million square meters, up 0.71% year-on-year, and the overall transaction scale remained stable. The transaction area of the third-tier representative cities in the first half of the year was about 55.77 million square meters, down 16.07% year-on-year, and the year-on-year decline was the most significant among all cities.

  In addition to the decline in transactions, the current decline in the real estate market in third-and fourth-tier cities is also reflected in the reduction of land transfer. For some third-and fourth-tier cities that rely heavily on land transfer, the pressure to develop the economy is increasing, and the impulse to adjust the property market regulation policy may become stronger.

  Guo Shiying said that although the central government has always emphasized "one city, one policy, one policy for each city", the local dominance and the regulation direction of local cities have always been guided by the central goal. Under the guidance of the central goal, cities can fine-tune the current urban policies in order to stabilize the development of the real estate market. As for the types and degrees of policy adjustments, they need to be determined according to the development characteristics of current cities.

Morrison, who has been criticized by international critics, has turned Australia into a sad joke.

  "Unarmed civilians and prisoners were shot or their throats were cut by some Australian soldiers, who often attacked ‘ A large number of illegal killings ’ Feel ‘ Schadenfreude ’ 。” Recently, the Australian Ministry of Defence released an investigation report detailing the anti-human acts of Australian soldiers who killed innocent people in Afghanistan. Cruel details such as cutting the throats of two 14-year-old boys and throwing them into the river are gruesome and strongly condemned by the international community.

  However, in the face of the serious crimes committed by Australian soldiers, Australian Prime Minister Morrison did not apologize. Instead, she expressed dissatisfaction with China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson for forwarding a cartoon condemning the atrocities of the Australian army on social media, and shamelessly asked China to "apologize", which really refreshed the outside world’s understanding of his moral standards. It was only when the public sentiment was fierce and the murderers were denounced one after another that Morrison said that the matter was "so far" and so on.

  Anyone with a basic conscience can see that the pictures released by China officials are cartoons based on the contents of the Australian report. Although it is not a live photo, the content is true and correct. As the Australian Prime Minister, Morrison should have deeply reflected and brought the murderer to justice, giving an account to the Afghan people and the international community. But the fact is: he ignored the blood of innocent civilians contaminated by his own soldiers, and instead became angry with the voice of justice of others, which was extremely contemptible.

  Is Morrison doing this just because of a cartoon that states the facts? Of course not. As martin jacques, a British scholar, pointed out, "What really annoys him is not the photos, but that China people have no right to comment on the murder of Australian special forces in Afghanistan".

  Indeed, for a long time, western politicians, represented by some Australian politicians, have been used to playing the role of "teachers of human rights", only allowing themselves to point their fingers with arrogance, and even fabricating one human rights lie after another to slander other countries, but not allowing other countries to blame their own human rights. Morrison’s performance in the "cartoon incident" can be said to fully expose the hegemony, hypocrisy and double standards of the "human rights teacher", as well as the dark psychology of trying to divert attention and the guilty conscience of facing the truth.

  In order to cover up the scandal, the Australian side has done whatever it takes. According to reports, David McBride, who first exposed the atrocities of the Australian army, was accused and tried by the Australian judicial department for allegedly committing five crimes. A soldier who dared to expose the truth and served in Afghanistan twice was retaliated by this! Is this the "human rights" advertised by Australia? No wonder the Russian Foreign Ministry commented that "Australia’s reputation on the international stage has been completely shattered".

  It is noteworthy that after the cartoon incident, some Australian allies indiscriminately accused China for no reason. This makes people wonder: have they lost their international justice and moral conscience and openly supported war criminals? Why can’t countries that talk about freedom of speech all day tolerate a cartoon that reflects the real situation? It seems that justice and conscience are worthless in their eyes under the double standard of "only asking positions, not asking right and wrong".

  In fact, what the western world should reflect on is: why has the local security situation not improved after nearly 20 years of military missions in Afghanistan? This is largely due to the atrocities committed by some western troops in Afghanistan. The connivance of war crimes and contempt for justice are making some western troops under the banner of peace become accomplices of terrorists and tramplers of peace and justice.

  "Australia is rapidly becoming a sad joke" — — This is a warning from Tony Kevin, the former Australian ambassador to Poland and Cambodia. Indeed, if the Australian authorities do not concentrate on cleaning up the army, bringing criminals to justice and apologizing to the Afghan people, they will continue to importune, then not only Australia’s national reputation, but also the "values" that the western world is proud of will be shattered. Morrison, don’t be so self-righteous!

  (International Critical Commentator)

What changes will the real estate market usher in if the strategy of expanding domestic demand is dismantled to promote the healthy development of residential consumption?

  On December 14th, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the Outline of the Strategic Plan for Expanding Domestic Demand (2022-2035) (hereinafter referred to as "Outline"), firmly implementing the strategy of expanding domestic demand and cultivating a complete domestic demand system, which is an inevitable choice to accelerate the construction of a new development pattern with the domestic big cycle as the main body and the domestic and international double cycles promoting each other, and a strategic decision to promote China’s long-term development and long-term stability.

  In terms of continuously upgrading traditional consumption, the Outline proposes to promote the healthy development of residential consumption. Adhere to the positioning of "houses are used for living, not for speculation", strengthen the guidance of real estate market expectations, explore new development models, accelerate the establishment of a housing system with multi-subject supply, multi-channel guarantee and simultaneous rent and purchase, and steadily implement a long-term mechanism for the stable and healthy development of the real estate market, support residents’ reasonable demand for self-occupation, curb speculative demand for investment, and stabilize land prices, prices and expectations. We will improve the basic system of housing security and support policies, focus on big cities with net population inflow, and expand the supply of affordable rental housing. Develop shared property housing according to local conditions. Improve the long-term rental policy, and gradually make the rental housing have the same rights in enjoying public services. Improve the housing provident fund system. Promote the construction of barrier-free facilities, promote the consumption of home decoration, increase the consumption of smart home appliances, and promote the development of digital homes.

  Yan Yuejin, research director of the think tank center of Yiju Research Institute, pointed out that the outline of expanding domestic demand issued by the central government fully reflects the great attention paid to domestic demand or consumption in the post-epidemic era. At the same time, expanding domestic demand also requires the active participation of real estate.

  Ma Hong, a senior researcher at Zhixin Investment Research Institute, pointed out that the definition of real estate in the Outline is consistent with Report to the 20th CPC National Congress’s formulation. In the long run, we should adhere to the definition that houses are used for living, not for speculation, and accelerate the establishment and improvement of a housing system with multi-agent supply, multi-channel guarantee and simultaneous rent and purchase. Although the short-term operation of the real estate market has encountered many difficulties, with the development of new urbanization, there is still great room for development of the domestic real estate market in the future.

  "The promotion of domestic demand in real estate should be based on ‘ One orientation and one system ’ Under the big framework, that is, to live in the house without speculation, rent and purchase simultaneously under the system to promote. Only in this way can the support for housing or residential consumption be sustainable and prevent the deviation of direction. " Yan Yuejin added.

  "Living in a house without speculation" is the long-standing industry orientation of real estate.

  The "Outline" proposes to adhere to the positioning that "houses are used for living, not for speculation", strengthen the expected guidance of the real estate market, and explore new development models.

  Chen Wenjing, director of market research in the Index Division of the Central Finger Research Institute, pointed out that "housing without speculation" is a long-term industry orientation of real estate, and only by adhering to "housing without speculation" can we truly promote the healthy development of the housing consumer market.

  The "Outline" clearly supports residents’ reasonable demand for self-occupation, curbs speculative demand for investment, and stabilizes land prices, housing prices and expectations.

  Chen Wenjing pointed out that in order to support reasonable self-occupation demand and curb investment speculation demand, in the process of optimizing the property market policy in the future, the support policy for the just-needed and improved housing demand is expected to be further improved, while the restrictive policy for investment speculation demand may be more refined. At the same time, emphasizing "strengthening the expected guidance of the real estate market", the current real estate market expectation is still unstable, and the market confidence at both ends of supply and demand is insufficient. Strengthening the expected guidance may be more conducive to the restoration of market sentiment.

  Ma Hong believes that the "reasonable and independent needs of residents" mentioned in the Outline are rigid and improved needs, and these two parts of housing demand will be the main service targets of housing policy in the future. On the one hand, the floating population and the natural growth of the new population in the city will become the main sources just needed; On the other hand, the demand for improved housing has gradually become the demand of the people for a better life.

  "Bring up ‘ Sanwen ’ The target means that the trend of the real estate market stabilizing and rebounding in the next six months is more clear, but the situation of rising house prices will still not appear. It is expected that cities of different levels will stabilize and rebound. " Zhang Bo, dean of the branch of 58 Anjuke Real Estate Research Institute, said.

  The direction of the housing system of rent and purchase remains unchanged.

  The "Outline" proposes to speed up the establishment of a housing system with multi-agent supply, multi-channel guarantee and simultaneous rent and purchase, and steadily implement a long-term mechanism for the stable and healthy development of the real estate market. At the same time, in accordance with the "Planning Outline", we will improve the basic system of housing security and support policies, and focus on large cities with net population inflows to expand the supply of affordable rental housing. Improve the long-term rental policy, and gradually make the rental housing have the same rights in enjoying public services.

  The "Outline" once again clarifies "accelerating the establishment of a housing system with multi-agent supply, multi-channel guarantee and simultaneous rent and purchase", which is consistent with the relevant formulation in Report to the 20th CPC National Congress.

  Chen Wenjing pointed out that in recent years, the supporting policies for the rental market have been followed up in all directions, and it is expected to be further improved in the future. In particular, the supporting policies and resources for affordable rental housing are expected to be better implemented, and the related policies for renting, purchasing and purchasing long-term rental houses are also expected to be substantially implemented.

  Zhang Bo believes that affordable housing is an important measure to solve the housing problem of new citizens, and clearly proposes to focus on big cities with net population inflow and expand the supply of affordable rental housing. From the perspective of security means, shared property rights and guaranteed rental housing are two powerful starting points. In recent years, the supply of guaranteed rental housing has increased significantly. In addition, the way of multi-channel co-construction since this year, including the conversion of pilot commercial housing in some cities to guaranteed rental housing, has greatly increased the number of guaranteed rental housing, effectively guaranteed the housing needs of new citizens, and is the basis for promoting the equalization of public services.

  Ma Hong pointed out that at the end of 2015, the Central Economic Work Conference first proposed the development of the housing rental market; At the end of 2020, the Central Economic Work Conference clearly stated that it was necessary to "solve the outstanding housing problems in big cities"; The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development once said that during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, 40 key cities across the country plan to raise 6.5 million sets (rooms) of affordable rental housing, which is expected to solve the housing difficulties of nearly 20 million new citizens and young people. Undoubtedly, affordable rental housing has become an important starting point to protect residents’ housing needs, and the corresponding housing financial supporting services are also following up.

  The central bank made it clear that affordable housing rental loans were not included in the evaluation index of loan concentration of commercial banks. In 2022, the first batch of three affordable housing REITs were also listed on the exchange, which indicated that the "investment, financing and retirement" involved in affordable housing projects formed a closed loop, providing effective financial tool support for affordable housing rental. In the past few years, land projects in some cities have also increased the proportion of affordable housing construction. In the future, new urbanization will promote regional housing demand, housing supply will also provide more diversified choices, and the proportion of rental housing will be expected to rise to better match and meet the housing needs of residents.

  Improve the housing provident fund system, give play to the functions of housing security and improving people’s livelihood.

  The Outline proposes to improve the housing provident fund system.

  Chen Wenjing pointed out that the housing provident fund system is an important part of China’s policy housing financial system. In the past, the housing provident fund system played an important role in the rapid development of the real estate industry. However, with the continuous development of the industry, there are also many problems to be solved urgently in the operation of the provident fund, such as the low efficiency of the use of provident fund in some areas, the failure to fully play the functions of mutual assistance and inclusiveness of provident fund funds, the imperfect supervision system of housing provident fund and the limited sources of funds. A sound provident fund system in the future will be more conducive to giving play to its housing security and improving people’s livelihood.

  In addition, the Outline also proposes to promote the construction of barrier-free facilities, promote the consumption of home decoration, increase the consumption of smart home appliances, and promote the development of digital homes.

  "In combination with the increasing aging trend in China and the needs of young people, the outline also actively promotes the construction of barrier-free facilities to ensure the living safety of more elderly people. At the same time, combined with the digital construction and the continuous upgrading of intelligence, the consumption of smart home appliances and the development of digital home are also one of the key points. This direction is expected to continue to advance in the future, and at the same time, combined with the development of science and technology and changes in the needs of the population, it will continue to improve and refine. " Zhang Bo said.

  Li Yujia, chief researcher of the Housing Policy Research Center of Guangdong Provincial Urban Planning Institute, said that this strategy once again emphasized the potential demand, creating a housing security system with low cost and low threshold for renting and buying, and lowering the threshold and cost of consumption, so as to release the potential of consumption and turn it into capacity. In addition, it also emphasizes the consumption of stock houses, such as accessibility, decoration and intelligence, which adapts to the aging era, the upgrading of residents’ stock houses and the new needs of young people who have entered the property market. Generally speaking, as for the content of housing consumption, the basic role of consumption has been implemented, the supply-side reform has been emphasized, and the implementation of the strategy of expanding domestic demand has been organically combined with deepening the supply-side structural reform.

"Green Leaves" Turn into "Golden Leaves" Small Tea Leaves in Yingwu Town, Sinan, incite "Big Industry" to strengthen the village and enrich the people.

There are green mountains everywhere, and the breeze blows the green buds. Although it has entered January, the contiguous tea mountain is still refreshing in the 5G smart tea garden in Zhajiaba Village, Yingwu Town, Sinan County.
In recent years, Sinan County has always adhered to the development orientation of "one main and two auxiliary", and the tea industry, as one of the agricultural industries with "one main and two auxiliary" layout in Sinan County, has reached a certain industrial scale. As one of the "six major districts", Yingwu Town is one of the core areas of Sinan County Tea Park with outstanding regional advantages. Yingwu Town is located in the core area of Sinan County Tea Park, with a total area of 16,459.52 mu of ecological tea planting over the years and an existing preservation area of 14,555.32 mu, involving 23 enterprises and cooperatives and 11 rural collective economic organizations. In November 2017, Sinan County took advantage of the opportunity of poverty alleviation cooperation between the east and the west (Changshu, Based on its advantages, the town continued to exert its strength, and made great efforts to promote the high-quality development of eco-tea industry, strengthen the brand building of tea products, continue to enlarge and strengthen deep processing, broaden the sales channels of tea products, and take various measures to improve the comprehensive benefits of tea industry.

Spang No.7 jersey officially retired! European Kobe Bryant was in tears and worked with Yao Ming in the Rockets.

On September 18th, Beijing time, the Greek basketball club Olympiakos held a special ceremony to retire the No.7 jersey for legendary defender Spanoulis. Spanoulis, 41, known as "Kobe in Europe", announced his retirement two years ago. Spanoulis also played briefly in the NBA, and was a teammate with China star Yao Ming.

At the retirement ceremony of the jersey, Spang wore a suit, and when the No.7 jersey appeared over the arena, the veteran burst into tears. "Playing in Olympiacos has always been my dream … We have experienced difficulties, but I hope everyone can feel my love for you." Spanoulis told the fans at the scene. He also got a beautiful gift from the team.

Spanoulis started his career in the Greek League. In the 2004 NBA draft, he was selected by the lone ranger in the 50th round. In 2006, Spanoulis joined the Rockets and became a teammate with Yao Ming. He was not happy with the Rockets. He only played 31 games in the whole season, averaging 8.8 minutes, getting 2.7 points, shooting 31.9% from the field and shooting 17.2% from three points. In July 2007, the Rockets traded Spanoulis and a second round to the Spurs in exchange for Scola and Jackie Butler. The Spurs laid off Spanoulis in August of the same year, and Spanoulis returned to Europe to play.

Although he didn’t make a name for himself in the NBA, he was a real god in Europe. He won the European championship three times in his career and was selected as the best team in the Champions League seven times. He was also elected as the European Player of the Year for two consecutive years. In the Greek League, Spang won the championship seven times, won the cup championship four times and won the MVP of the Greek League three times.

Spang in the international arena has also made impressive achievements. In the 2006 World Cup, he led Greece to beat the American men’s basketball team, which had stars such as James, Wade and Anthony. Spang scored 22 points in that game.

During the retirement ceremony of the jersey, Spang also paid tribute to his late father. "When I was only 15 years old, my father left me because of cancer. I decided to dedicate my career to him at that time. I hope he will be proud of me."

2024 NBA Lotto? Spanish 2.21 meter center Adaj Mara announced that he has signed a contract to join UCLA.

After a long and painful wait, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) welcomed the next great big man.

Aday Mara

On August 4th, Beijing time, the UCLA men’s basketball team officially announced that Aday Mara, a 7-3 (2m 21) center from Spain, had signed a contract with the Brown Bears, and he was widely predicted to be the lottery candidate in the 2024 NBA draft.

The day before the announcement, Mara posted a message on Instagram that he would leave the Spanish professional team Zaragoza to play in an American university, and said it was a difficult decision because he was leaving his hometown.

Aday Mara

Mara’s decision has greatly improved the prospects of UCLA in the 2023-24 season. Earlier this summer, Mara turned 18 and he is still developing his skills. He is regarded as an excellent passer, who can jump shot from a middle distance or play with his back to the basket. In U18 European Championship this summer, he averaged 14 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.7 blocks per game, and shot 61.3%. Finally, Spain won the runner-up and lost to host Serbia.

Aday Mara

The arrival of Mara will bring two top big men to UCLA. Adem Bona will stay in school for the second season, after his first season ended prematurely due to a shoulder injury. Bona’s recovery is expected to last for several months. He is not expected to take part in the Bruins’ summer trip to Spain later this month, and Mara is unlikely to take part in his motherland trip unless he signs up before the start of the autumn game.

Aday Mara

Mick Cronin, coach of UCLA, said in the statement that in the process of getting along with Mara, he and his family insisted on one thing. They hoped that Adai would get a good education and watch him grow up in UCLA. He was tall, skilled and had a deep understanding of basketball. He was also a humble young man with great parents, excellent talent and excellent professional ethics.

Another giant followed suit, and one shot was five "Wang Huiwen"

Recently, SaaS giant Salesforce announced the launch of a $250 million fund, which is by far the largest AIGC venture capital fund.

In this regard, CEO Clara Shih said that the fund will focus on "cultivating the next generation of artificial intelligence startups".

Some analysts also said that although the generative AI like ChatGPT itself amazed the public. However, their greatest role in the enterprise lies in their combination with the company’s business, which is obviously the goal of Salesforce.

However, judging from today’s stock price performance, the heavy AI did not make this old SaaS manufacturer dead.

250 million US dollars, which has exceeded the net profit of last year.

Different from VC’s pursuit of high returns, as a typical CVC, Salesforce chose to set up the fund at this time more likely because of industry competition and stock price considerations.

We saw that the foundation of the fund was announced at its annual conference TrailblazerDX. At that time, the company announced three major initiatives in generating artificial intelligence:

First, Salesforce is integrating generative artificial intelligence into customer relationship management products under Einstein GPT. These new features are designed to combine the data in Salesforce with a series of generative AI engines (including engines from OpenAI and Cohere), so that customers can seize the initiative in making marketing emails, writing supporting articles and even making computer code.

Second, Salesforce announced its cooperation with OpenAI, which makes ChatGPT available directly from Slack. This function is currently in the testing stage and will be launched on a large scale later this year.

Third, Salesforce Ventures is launching a $250 million investment fund to support generative AI startups.

There are several backgrounds that have to be mentioned behind these three measures.

First of all, on the eve of releasing its new AI product, Salesforce released a survey result, which showed that although some IT leaders expressed concern about AI, most people thought it could help them better support customers and improve data insight. Even 67% of the respondents said that they would give priority to this technology in the next 18 months, and one-third of the respondents thought it would be their top priority.

At the same time, Salesforce believes that it has identified several areas where artificial intelligence is reshaping the sales pattern: artificial intelligence insight of sales, natural language chat robots for service requests, targeted marketing content and personalized e-commerce experience.

Secondly, at the end of last year, after OpenAI’s ChatGPT broadened the imagination of the technology industry, many large companies rushed to announce the function of using artificial intelligence to generate content. Last month alone, Microsoft integrated OpenAI technology into Bing, Google announced the launch of ChatGPT competitor Bard, Meta released one of its large language models under the open source license, and Snapchat launched a social generation tool.

In addition, Microsoft recently launched Dynamic 365 Copilot, a functional assistant tool for customer relationship management (CRM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) based on artificial intelligence, which directly extended its hand to the territory of traditional enterprise software platforms such as Zoho, Salesforce and IBM.

A consensus in the field of science and technology is that it is often fatal to miss the first advantage of technology, so we have seen Salesforce’s heavy investment in AI.

More importantly, the deployment of AI and the launch of Slack’s new ChatGPT application are at a critical moment when the board members of Salesforce are replaced, and investors have been pushing for new changes. Even at the beginning of this year, the company cut 10% of its employees.

As we all know, affected by the macro-environment, the market value of American SaaS companies suffered a decline in different degrees in 2022, and Salesforce was not spared. Salesforce is also under pressure from investors. Using the white-hot trend of generating artificial intelligence can help companies resist concerns about their growth prospects.

It is worth mentioning that at the beginning of this month, Salesforce released the latest financial report data. According to the financial report, the revenue of Salesforce in fiscal year 2023 was $31.4 billion, an increase of 18% year-on-year. However, the income growth rate has slowed down this fiscal year. Its revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $8.4 billion, a year-on-year increase of 14%, which was lower than the annual growth rate.

In terms of profit, salesforce’s operating profit in fiscal year 2023 was $1 billion, compared with $500 million in the previous fiscal year, which was significantly improved this fiscal year. This fiscal year, the company’s net profit was $200 million, compared with $1.4 billion in the same period of the previous fiscal year, and the net profit in the latest fiscal year decreased by 86%.

It can be seen that the scale of the AIGC fund has exceeded the net profit of Salesforce last year, which can be seen from the investment.

According to public data, Wall Street analysts agreed that earnings per share (EPS) in the fourth quarter was $1.36. However, the company reported earnings per share of $1.68, far exceeding expectations. In addition, the average income of analysts is estimated to be about $8 billion, while the company’s revenue in the fourth quarter was $8.4 billion.

But despite the amazing revenue growth of Salesforce in recent years, it is expected to achieve the goal of reaching $50 billion in sales in fiscal year 2026. But its share price trend has been developing in the opposite direction. Since December 2020, the company’s share price has plummeted by nearly 30%.

It is not difficult to see that Salesforce is eager for the growth prospects of its performance.

The first four companies to be selected.

Back to Salesforce, the new fund itself. Although the fund is the largest fund of Salesforce Ventures, it is not the first dedicated AI fund. As early as 2017, it raised $50 million for the artificial intelligence innovation fund to support its Einstein artificial intelligence toolset.

According to PitchBook, Salesforce Ventures has participated in 140 venture capital transactions of artificial intelligence and machine learning startups, accounting for about 19% of its total investment so far.

John Somorjai, executive vice president of Salesforce enterprise development and Salesforce Ventures, said: "for more than ten years, Salesforce Ventures has been investing in high-potential enterprise technology business, and these initial investments of the fund to generate artificial intelligence companies are fully in line with this strategy."

In fact, in the past decade, Salesforce Ventures has raised more than a dozen funds, ranging in size from $50 million to $125 million, and has also launched a series of vertically specific investment funds, including funds targeting specific regions such as Japan or Canada.

But before, Salesforce Ventures usually invested in enterprise cloud startups. After all, such investments may become more important for this software company because of the restrictions on large-scale acquisitions. For example, it has invested in star companies such as Zoom and DocuSign, and invested heavily in Snowflake IPO.

It is precisely because of its huge transaction scale and strategic value that Salesforce Ventures has always been regarded as the king of SaaS unicorns. At the same time, some people think that it may continue this myth in the AI field.

It is reported that the fund has invested in four start-up companies: You.com, a upstart search engine, just launched the generation of artificial intelligence a few months ago; Anthropic, an AI startup founded by former employees of OpenAI and highly sought after by VC, developed ChatGPT;; Cohere, a natural language processing (NLP) startup that recently cooperated with Google; And a secret startup called Hearth.AI

Specifically, Richard Socher, the founder of You.com, is the former chief scientist of Salesforce. The company was founded in 2020, and launched the AI chat function YouChat in search engines before Google and Microsoft at the end of last year. In terms of financing, at the end of 2021, You.com completed a $20 million seed round of financing led by Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, and then completed a $25 million series of financing in the middle of last year.

Anthropic was founded in January, 2021. The latest report shows that shortly after accepting hundreds of millions of dollars from Google, it recently completed a new round of financing of 300 million dollars. After this financing, the value of Anthropic reached 4.1 billion dollars. Earlier, Anthropic raised $704 million through Series A and Series B financing in 2022.

Similarly, Cohere was founded in 2019, mainly providing access to large-scale language models and natural language processing (NLP) tools through APIs. Cohere has raised $170 million so far, including $125 million in Series B financing last year and $40 million in Series A financing in 2021. Earlier this year, it was reported in Reuters that Cohere was in talks to raise hundreds of millions of dollars in a round of financing, and the valuation of this startup may exceed 6 billion dollars after the completion of financing.

As for Hearth.AI, it should have been established in May, 2022. Except that it is the next generation management system (CRM) shown on its official website, we have not found any more public information. (Text/Zhang Xue, source/investment network)
