Some thoughts on using big data to alleviate the practical problems of homogeneity and comparability of price statistics

  ■ Wang Jiangming

  "Homogeneous comparability" is an important principle followed in the statistical investigation of PPI, CPI and HPI in China at present, and it is the basis for comparability between the price in the reporting period and the price in the base period. With the development of economy and society, the needs of the masses are more abundant and diverse, and the principle of "homogeneity and comparability" is also facing more challenges in practice. Under the background of the continuous updating of information technology and the continuous advancement of statistical modernization reform, how to make full use of big data, expand the sources of price statistics data, improve the system and methods of price statistics, keep pace with the times and improve the practical operability of the principle of homogeneity and comparability and the accuracy of price comparison is testing the wisdom of all parties.

  First, the homogeneity of price statistics is facing the "difficulty" of practice.

  At present, China’s more concerned price indexes mainly include industrial producer price index (PPI), consumer price index (CPI) and residential sales price index (HPI). All the above price indexes are "pure price indexes", that is, the price index only reflects the market price changes caused by the changes in market supply and demand and the purchasing power of money, and is a relative quantitative index reflecting the trend and degree of price level changes in different periods. This requires eliminating non-price factors such as quality, appearance, production and supply in the statistical process to achieve "homogeneity and comparability". According to the feedback from the front-line work of price statistical investigation, the practical operability of "homogeneous comparability" will become weaker and weaker if the traditional price statistical investigation method is simply adopted, and it will be difficult to match with the ever-changing social development. If it is not optimized, it will inevitably affect the credibility of statistical investigation.

  (A) the lack of some prices affects "homogeneity and comparability".

  1. The price of the previous period in HPI survey cannot be obtained. At present, the sales price surveys of newly-built houses in 70 large and medium-sized cities in China are all comprehensive surveys, and the basic data directly use the online signing and filing data of local real estate authorities, including the project name, project address, building number, total floor number, floor number, residential structure, total transaction price, construction area, signing time, administrative division, etc. The authenticity and reliability of the basic data are guaranteed. However, the previous period prices of newly-opened projects and intermittent sales projects in the online signing record data are naturally missing, so it is necessary to supplement the previous period prices when calculating the price index, which requires a higher method, and there are certain subjective factors and estimation errors when the big data information is not fully utilized.

  2. Some conditions in PPI survey have changed. According to the existing system, the price survey of industrial producers is carried out monthly, and the "representative enterprises" regularly submit the price of "representative products". The report submitted by the enterprise includes the unit price in the reporting period and the average unit price in the last month. The unit price in the product reporting period is the simple arithmetic average of the unit prices taken twice on the 5th and 20th of the reporting month. In the front-line work of PPI survey, all localities try their best to choose products with great influence on the national economy and people’s livelihood, stable production, development prospects and local characteristics, that is, "representative products", but there are many categories of PPI survey. Taking the ex-factory price survey of industrial producers as an example, industrial products of 41 industrial categories, 207 industrial categories and 666 industrial categories were investigated and divided into 1310 basic categories. In practice, it is difficult to ensure that the same product of the same enterprise has a completely homogeneous sales record in the reporting month and last month. Even if the same product of the same enterprise is oriented to different customers, the price is different. For example, when the customer’s credit is good, the cooperation time is long or the order quantity is large, the price is often lower. The above situation can be regarded as the lack of the price of a "representative product" at a certain price acquisition point, and the price needs to be filled after removing the non-price change factors. Under the current traditional way of not using big data, this work is mainly done manually by enterprise statisticians. However, due to the limitations of professional knowledge, work experience, market judgment and other conditions, enterprise statisticians have different understandings of "homogeneity and comparability", which may affect the accuracy of price surveys.

  (B) the special attributes of products affect "homogeneity and comparability".

  1. The heterogeneity of residential products is outstanding. In HPI survey, it is difficult to follow the principle of homogeneity and comparability in price statistics of both newly-built commercial houses and second-hand houses. As we all know, as a special commodity, it is difficult to achieve absolute consistency in specifications, models and sizes like other commodities. There are differences in geographical location, supporting facilities and residential environment between the two different houses. Comparatively speaking, the heterogeneity of second-hand houses is more prominent, even if they are located in the same residential area, there are great differences in building location, specific floors, unit orientation, building depreciation, interior decoration and other qualities.

  2. Some categories are frequently updated. Clothing products in CPI and electronic products in PPI survey all have the phenomenon of rapid update. At present, the CPI survey is mainly conducted by hand-held data collector, and the survey is conducted directly by means of fixed person, fixed point and timing. Clothing products pay more attention to fashion, and the clothing of the same brand has changeable characteristics in style design, fabric selection, color matching, etc. In addition, clothing products are seasonal and generally have a short life cycle, so it is often difficult to collect sustained and stable prices under the conditions of fixed person, fixed point and timing. PPI survey also stipulates that when selecting representative products, products with relatively stable production should be selected. "Once selected as representative products, it is necessary to continuously investigate for a period of time." When products are included in statistics, they are often in a relatively stable price stage, which easily leads to underestimation of the price index. This is also one of the important reasons why the ex-factory price index of clothing products in CPI and communication equipment, computers and other electronic equipment manufacturing industries in PPI has been "overcast" for many years, which has a certain gap with the actual feelings of the people.

  (3) The impact of big data indirectly affects "homogeneity and comparability".

  In the era of big data, a huge amount of information is generated, and people have more ways, wider channels and richer channels to obtain information, which also poses a great challenge to the traditional government statistical system. At present, there are many institutions or enterprises that publish various price indices in the society, with diverse data sources and different calculation methods. There is also a certain gap between the indices of each period and the data officially published by the National Bureau of Statistics. Most people don’t know or understand the principle of "homogeneity and comparability" in government price statistics. They simply judge by subjective feelings and question the government statistics. In this case, if we can’t do a good job of network public opinion monitoring and interpretation quickly, it will inevitably weaken the authority and credibility of government statistics. Take CPI as an example. A few years ago, some enterprises published the online shopping price index, and some researchers used it to evaluate the CPI released by the National Bureau of Statistics every month, believing that there was a calculation error in the CPI data. In fact, the company’s price index is only calculated by the transaction data of its e-commerce platform, which is far from the full sample requirements. Another example is the house price index. The National Bureau of Statistics officially released the sales price index of commercial housing in 70 large and medium-sized cities. At the same time, we can also see the relevant price indexes released by different institutions on the Internet platform. Except for the National Bureau of Statistics, the house price indexes of other institutions are mostly calculated based on the average prices of transaction samples in various cities, without distinguishing different apartment structures or fully considering "homogeneity and comparability", so there are bound to be differences with official statistics.

  Second, government statistics share the "machine" of big data development

  For government statistical work, big data is data, methods and their technical integration that are processed and mined at high speed with modern information technology and architecture, and have high application Value and decision support function. Generally speaking, it has the characteristics of "multi-V", that is, huge data Volume, Variety of data types, fast processing speed, great application value and authenticity. It is undeniable that big data provides unprecedented conditions and opportunities for the information reform of government statistical source data and macroeconomic measurement. Due to the wide range of sample collection and high statistical frequency, price statistics has become one of the most significant areas directly affected by big data. The exploration of using big data to improve price statistical surveys such as CPI, PPI and HPI is on the way, and the dilemma of "homogeneous comparability" in practice is expected to be continuously alleviated and even effectively solved.

  (1) The application of big data to price statistics is one of the important contents of promoting the reform of statistical modernization.

  In 2020, the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee made a major deployment to promote the reform of statistical modernization. In 2021, the National Bureau of Statistics formulated the Reform Plan of Statistical Modernization in the Tenth Five-Year Plan period in order to build a modern statistical investigation system suited to the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, pointing out that "a new round of scientific and technological revolution has developed in depth, which has provided a strong impetus for improving statistical productivity, changing statistical production methods and reshaping statistical production relations", and at the same time, it has also seen that the digital transformation of statistical work is lagging behind, and put forward "improving and perfecting price statistics" and "promoting the application of departmental statistical data" In the same year, the "Work Plan for Big Data Application of National Bureau of Statistics (2021)" was issued, which clearly stated that it was necessary to "play the role of big data in expanding data sources, improving the efficiency of statistical investigation, improving the quality of statistical data, and achieving new breakthroughs in the statistical application of big data." It can be seen that the government level has fully understood the historical opportunities and important challenges brought by big data to government statistics.

  (2) The application of big data to price statistics has been cutting-edge research.

  Foreign scholars have studied the application of big data in the field of price statistics earlier. In 1993, Diewr proposed that scanning data could be used in the compilation of price index, thus reducing the substitution deviation and new product deviation in the compilation of price index. In recent years, some domestic experts, scholars and statisticians have also put forward pertinent opinions from various angles. He Qiang (2015) said that the future application of big data in China government statistics should be based on the wide application of big data, especially cloud computing, and establish a data quality evaluation mechanism of big data to create a more scientific and informative "second track" of government statistics data sources. Xie Zuozheng and Wang Kelin (2016) suggested using e-commerce data, scanning data and other data sources to realize the overall grasp of industrial product structure and ex-factory price. Dong Qian (2017) combined the characteristics of the characteristic price method and the repeated transaction method, compiled the second-hand housing price index through the repeated characteristic "R-H" transaction method, and selected different matching spaces to achieve maximum homogeneity and comparability under the existing data conditions. Yu Fangdong (2018) believes that the compilation of CPI based on online data is different from the traditional sampling statistical theory and method in terms of product matching, comparability and index compilation method, and new theories and methods need to be created.

  (3) The application of big data to price statistics has been explored in practice.

  Abroad, Australian Bureau of Statistics, American Bureau of Labor Statistics, Statistics New Zealand, etc. have formally used scanning data to compile their own CPI. In recent years, China’s statistical departments have taken the lead in the development and utilization of big data in government agencies, and steadily promoted the research and application of big data in government statistics in accordance with the core application ideas of "overall design, leading research, easy before difficult, and professional breakthrough". As early as 2014, the National Bureau of Statistics signed a big data strategic cooperation framework agreement with six companies including Tencent, and carried out substantive cooperation in the fields of public opinion monitoring and house price statistics. In recent years, the system and methods of price statistics have been constantly improved and updated. In terms of CPI survey, in December 2020, in order to meet the requirements of big data and informatization for price survey, the Urban Department of the National Bureau of Statistics formulated and issued the Measures for the Application and Management of Scanning Data, which set clear requirements for the national CPI survey professional norms to apply scanning data to price collection, and encouraged all provinces and cities to actively carry out pilot work in cities and counties with mature conditions. Taking Fujian Province as an example, the Fujian Investigation Corps of the National Bureau of Statistics has carried out pilot work in 17 investigation outlets in 8 cities and counties in the province, and the form of "coexistence of old and new" has been taken as an important supplement to the traditional pricing method.

  Third, using big data to improve the "road" of price statistics homogeneity and comparability

  As mentioned above, there have been many researches and practical explorations on the application of big data in price statistics at home and abroad, but there are not many achievements in the specific research on the homogeneity and comparability of price statistics. The author tries to combine some research achievements at home and abroad and the first-line practical experience of price statistics, and puts forward some path ideas for solving the practical problems of homogeneity and comparability of price statistics by using big data for reference.

  (1) Follow the principle.

  1. The principle of bold exploration and long-term gradual progress. "Homogeneous comparability" has always been a key and difficult issue in the practice of price statistics. It is obviously impossible to find the optimal solution by relying solely on traditional survey methods, and big data has opened up a new data source for price statistics with its advantages of high frequency, fine granularity and diversification. Under the wave of the new era, only by boldly exploring and promoting in-depth cooperation between statistical departments and social institutions and big data enterprises in accordance with the path of "complementary advantages, mutual benefit and win-win, data orientation and gradual progress" can big data become an important supplementary source of price statistics. At the same time, however, at this stage, China’s use of big data to alleviate the dilemma of "homogeneity and comparability" of price statistics in practice has difficulties in data acquisition and quality assurance, as well as bottlenecks in technology and methods, which can not completely replace the traditional survey methods for the time being, and can only be used as a useful supplement to the existing methods. Using big data to optimize the homogeneity and comparability of price statistics should be a long-term and gradual process, which requires repeated experiments and research. It is necessary to prevent "big data arrogance" and avoid damaging the science and rigor of government price statistics due to rashness.

  2. The principle of security, confidentiality and continuous stability. The Statistics Law of the People’s Republic of China clearly stipulates that the objects of statistical investigation must "provide true, accurate, complete and timely information needed for statistical investigation", and also requires "statistical institutions and statisticians to keep confidential the state secrets, business secrets and personal information they know in their statistical work." The use of big data is beneficial to alleviate the problem of "homogeneity and comparability" in price statistics. However, big data has a wide range of sources, and it often needs the help of private enterprises and institutions outside government departments to implement applications. Enterprises pay attention to commercial interests, which is different from the purpose of government departments to serve the public. Therefore, in the process of data cooperation, how to prevent potential leakage risks and security risks becomes the key, and a complete legal system needs to be established to regulate them. In addition, the characteristics of CPI, PPI, HPI and other price statistics require the samples to be as stable as possible for a certain period of time. If Internet companies and data asset companies engaged in data cooperation fail to survive for a long time, it will inevitably affect the continuity of price statistics. Therefore, it is an indispensable and important principle to ensure the continuous stability of data acquisition channels.

  (2) Expand data collection methods.

  1. Make full use of electronic scanning data. Electronic scanning data is to scan the EAN code of goods in sales outlets through scanning equipment to obtain product feature information such as product name, product number and product model. When trading, the electronic processing system of retailers can also record relevant retail outlets and types, prices, trading quantity, trading time and other information.

  The advantages of this acquisition method are as follows: first, the discrete price data of "fixed person, fixed point and timing" are replaced by high-frequency continuous scanning data to eliminate the deviation of discrete data; The second is to replace manual data with information data to avoid the measurement error of manual price collection and the burden of answering questions at price collection outlets; Third, product update information is more accurate, and it is more timely to include statistics. More comprehensive scanning data can provide more support for CPI survey to achieve "homogeneous comparability" accurately.

  The shortcomings of this collection method are as follows: first, the application field is relatively limited, mainly used in CPI survey, and can not be used more in PPI, HPI and other price surveys; Second, the requirements for outlets are high, and the survey outlets need to have a complete database system. Large shopping malls, supermarkets, hospitals, etc. can facilitate the collection of scanning data, but the grounded farmers’ markets and small shops are difficult to obtain due to equipment restrictions; Third, it is difficult to maintain data. Compared with other countries that have adopted electronic scanning data in the world, China has a vast territory, strong regional color, obvious differences in regional development and price level, and many chain enterprises in the consumer market. Statistics departments need more enterprises to effectively cooperate in scanning data collection, which greatly increases the difficulty of data collection and data security.

  At present, this method has been piloted in some conditional areas in China, but only in the form of "coexistence of old and new" is used as a reference for compiling price index. When the conditions are ripe in the later stage, we can consider gradually weighting the electronic scanning data and the traditional "three-fixed-straight" price acquisition data to calculate CPI.

  2. Appropriate use of the network to capture data. Network crawling data refers to a collection of data that is partially targeted, professional and accurate by using Internet search engine technology and classified according to certain rules and screening criteria, also known as network crawling data.

  The advantages of this collection method are as follows: first, the data source is rich, which can greatly increase the sample size of the basket of goods and services. Combined with the specific index compilation method, it can effectively solve the problem that the price of the reported month or last month is missing and cannot be "homogeneous and comparable" in price statistics such as HPI and PPI; Second, the acquisition frequency is high, and the compilation frequency of price index can be increased from monthly to semi-monthly, weekly or even daily, so as to improve the timeliness of price data release and better serve the public and decision-making; The third is to reduce the labor cost of the survey, use Internet technology to capture the price data, cross the geographical and time constraints, and greatly reduce the price collection burden of statisticians, survey enterprises and auxiliary investigators in grass-roots units.

  The shortcomings of this collection method are as follows: first, it has great technical influence. For example, due to website changes and interception technical factors, the data captured by the network may be interrupted, repeated and incomplete, so it is necessary to continuously improve the capture technology to improve its stability; Second, the samples are not stable enough, and the products captured by the network are updated faster than those in the traditional collection mode. If the current index calculation method is still used, it is difficult to match effectively; Third, it is difficult to identify the transaction price. No matter whether it is online shopping platform or house price trading platform, most of the online data are sellers’ quotations or listing prices, and there is still a gap with the actual transaction price. If it cannot be effectively identified, it may affect the true accuracy of the data.

  At present, Norway, Britain, the Netherlands and other countries have partially used the network to capture data in the process of CPI compilation and made breakthrough progress. In China, the application of online capture data in price statistics is still in the exploratory stage, and it is suggested that it can be piloted in some areas with mature information technology, such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other developed areas of online shopping, giving online capture data a certain weight to compile CPI;; You can also try to compile HPI by using the housing brokerage platform to capture data and POI data derived from geographic information system, combined with repeated transaction method and characteristic price method in developed areas such as Shanghai and Shenzhen.

  (3) Improve the index compilation method.

  1. Try to compare the prices of fixed groups. In the new era, with the expansion of data collection methods, we should appropriately break through the constraints of traditional statistical theories and methods in the face of the larger and faster total data in price statistics. Drawing lessons from Belgium, Britain and other countries, this paper compares the prices of relatively homogeneous and comparable products of fixed groups according to the data captured by the network and electronic scanning data, and observes and reflects the price changes of consumers buying homogeneous and similar products. During the comparison period, the product groups are fixed, but the specific products are variable. Under this method, we will calculate the price ratio of the same product group in different periods under the basic classification, rather than the price ratio of specific products. The premise of adopting this method is to cluster a huge number of products with price, to maximize the high homogeneity and similarity of products within the group, to ensure that there is no significant difference between products within the group and to reduce the deviation of price index. At the same time, because of breaking through the traditional framework and changing from "one-to-one" comparison to "group-to-group" comparison, it is necessary to study and explore the index method more suitable for new data sources.

  2. Promote the practical application of the characteristic price method. Eigenvalue method, also known as Hedonic model method, is a method to homogenize samples by using Eigenvalue model. At present, France, Germany, the Netherlands and other European countries generally use the characteristic price method to calculate the house price index. This method is also applicable to the calculation of price indexes with many categories such as CPI and PPI. The characteristic price method holds that the price is determined by the utility brought to people, and each utility corresponds to a certain characteristic price value. After regression analysis with a large number of actual transaction data, the influence of characteristic change is eliminated item by item from the total price change, that is, the pure price change caused by the relationship between supply and demand and the purchasing power of money is obtained, that is, the "homogeneous and comparable" price change. Hedonic functions are mainly in linear form, semi-logarithmic form, exponential form and double logarithmic form, which can be selected according to specific needs. At present, there are many mature theoretical studies on this method at home and abroad, but the premise of using this method is to have a lot of product price and characteristic information, and the calculation tends to be complicated, which requires high background data processing ability and operator quality, and the specific practice in China is still shallow. Electronic scanning data and network crawling data make it possible to obtain large-scale commodity information, which will inevitably provide more favorable conditions for the implementation of the characteristic price method, making it an important method to optimize the homogeneity and comparability of price statistics at present. It is suggested to try it out in some areas and gradually promote it.

Should your car have its oil changed? Please accept this guide →

In the last issue, Xiao Jia introduced it to everyone.

Reasonable selection of engine oil (click to review)

So how to judge your car?

Do you need to change the oil?

When do you need to add oil?

Park the vehicle on a flat ground. When the vehicle is cold, first pull out the oil dipstick and clean it, then re-insert it into the hole of the oil dipstick and wait for a while. Then pull it out again to check the oil quantity accurately. If it is a hot car, you should wait for a few minutes after the engine is turned off and wait for the oil to fully return to the oil pan before measuring.

The normal oil quantity should be above the scale mark B area, but not higher than the scale mark C area. If the oil quantity is lower than that in area B, it should be added in time; if the oil quantity is lower than that in area A, it should be added immediately.

Harm of too much or too little oil

Too little oil.

When the fuel quantity is lower than the scale A area, the continuous running of the vehicle will aggravate the wear of engine parts, shorten the service life of the engine, and even cause the engine bearing bush to be burned and scrapped. Therefore, when the amount of engine oil is too small, it should be added immediately to ensure the normal working state of the engine.

Too much oil

When the fuel quantity is higher than the scale C area, the running resistance of the engine will increase, and the engine will feel sluggish when starting, resulting in insufficient driving power. Be alert to the leakage of engine oil, which will cause carbon deposition when the engine burns engine oil, which will make the engine working condition worse and reduce its working ability. Therefore, if it is found that there is too much engine oil, it is necessary to release the excess oil in time to ensure the normal operation of the engine.

How to check the quality of oil products?

Use the oil dipstick to drop the oil on the inspection paper to observe its melted color. If it is light yellow, it means that the oil is clean. If the oil is medium yellow, it can continue to be used without oil change and maintenance; When the oil color turns black, it means that the oil filter needs to be changed to maintain the engine.

Seals are good animals. They have good eating habits and people like them!

Welcome friends to vomit. Xiaobian is really honored. Xiaobian will try to share better articles with you. Your support is the driving force for me to move forward. Give me some advice. Xiaobian will accept good improvement with an open mind.

Seals may be seen in some aquariums, but how do these seals react when they see food? In the aquarium, the netizen saw the keeper teasing the seal man with a small fish, and the behavior and barking sound of the seal made the Lord feel funny.

A seal can’t talk like a human, but it knows how to express itself with actions and some sounds, so when it sees something to eat, it keeps barking there, hoping to achieve its goal, and doesn’t even want to twist its head when it sees food.

The seal kept barking there, but it was because of it that people became more and more fond of playing with it. It looked particularly interesting and lovely. If there was no food to tempt it, it wouldn’t bark, which made the audience lose interest.

Seals don’t go into the water on the shore, and another seal in the water is also watching. They all hope that this keeper will give it eat small fish. Both guys are tempted by small fish and can’t leave. It’s unbearable not to eat some small fish.

If you want these seals to be motivated, you have to use these methods. No matter what kind of animals they are, they are all foodies. As long as they see what they eat, they are particularly active. Therefore, when there are many audiences, they have to use food to perform.

The seal on the shore has been barking there for a long time, but it hasn’t waited until the food is eaten, but it just doesn’t give up, and it continues to cry there unless it eats the food. Netizens, have you ever seen a seal?

Note: The picture comes from the Internet.

Original Chen Tongshan, "abused" his son Ashton Chen, and people have too many misunderstandings about this father.

Text/July 7

PS: The proofreader has gone to give birth to a child. Welcome to help us pick the wrong words together. Thank you! ! ! !

In September 2023, child star Ashton Chen was 35 years old.

In the past, the little monk with a bottle and a cute milk has grown into a big boy. For Ashton Chen, filming in the past two years has become a joke, and few works have come out.

Now Ashton Chen spends more time enjoying life.

Recently, some netizens exposed a group of photos of Ashton Chen having a party with friends. Ashton Chen was wearing a black coat, a cap and smoking a cigar. It was very pleasant.

This kind of life is enviable.

However, when Ashton Chen was a child, he suffered far more than other children of the same age, which made him rich today, not only for himself, but also for his family.

It is precisely because of this that Ashton Chen’s father was once appraised as taking his son as a cash cow.

In order to make this cash cow grow more luxuriantly, he even adopted the way of "abuse" to make his son grow up, but is this really the truth?

One,

Ashton Chen’s father is called Chen Tongshan.

A native of Shutanggou Village, Dajindian Town, Dengfeng City, Henan Province, has a high degree of education. Many of his classmates graduated from the Air Force Political College of the People’s Liberation Army in China and embarked on the road of politics.

But Chen Tongshan took a very different road.

This is related to the origin of Chen Tongshan, who was born in a martial arts family. His father’s name is Chen Chengwen and he has been practicing martial arts in Shaolin for more than 60 years.

When he was about 8 years old, Chen Tongshan practiced martial arts with his father.

Later, he also entered Shaolin Temple and became one of the "Eight donkey kong" of Shaolin. While enjoying this reputation, Chen Tongshan also has the responsibility to promote Shaolin Wushu.

Chen Tongshan does have this strength and has won many awards for Shaolin Temple.

In the early 1980s, Chen Tongshan took part in many martial arts competitions, won many honors with his good skills, and entered the county-run sports school as a martial arts coach through the selection of Dengfeng County Sports Committee.

In 1985, he transferred to Shaolin Temple Wushu School and taught many disciples with extraordinary skills.

In the year when Ashton Chen was born, Chen Tongshan was officially hired as the principal of Shaolin Martial Arts School, and he established the school-running philosophy of "starting from a boy, making a hero a teenager".

It was this idea that made Ashton Chen suffer enough in his childhood.

As soon as Ashton Chen was born, Chen Tongshan made a plan for his son’s future. He must train his son to be a success, so Ashton Chen just learned to walk.

Chen Tongshan took Ashton Chen to Shaolin Temple and became a Shaolin disciple, learning from Shi Yongxin.

In order to record his son’s growth, Chen Tongshan also filmed a documentary, in which we can see Ashton Chen’s childhood.

Chen Tongshan’s training of Ashton Chen was so harsh that it could even be described as "abuse".

Before dawn, Chen Tongshan was in bed, tugging at Ashton Chen’s little hand, carrying him out of bed, washing his face with cold water, and then began to practise.

The process of exercising was even more painful. Later, when Chen Tongshan recalled himself, he felt that he had gone too far and was too cruel.

In order to bend Ashton Chen down and let him split, Chen Tongshan ignored his son’s cry of pain, pressed it hard and pressed it directly, and the painful Ashton Chen only shed tears.

Ashton Chen’s crying didn’t make Chen Tongshan soft-hearted, and he still stuck to his plan.

It is Chen Tongshan who is so strict. Ashton Chen, who is just five years old, has a solid basic skill and can even perform some boxing in a decent way.

It also makes Chen Tongshan feel very gratified.

At the same time, it also won Ashton Chen a chance to make a film.

Second,

In order to promote Chinese Wushu, in 1993, Chen Tongshan established the Shaolin Wushu Performance Troupe and began to perform all over the world. He went to more than 30 countries and regions.

He has made great contributions to the promotion of China traditional culture.

When Ashton Chen was five years old, he went to Taiwan Province with the troupe. He also performed a program with an old master and played a set of boxing on the stage.

MengMeng’s appearance is loved by many people.

At that time, there was a man sitting in the audience. After he saw Ashton Chen’s performance, he shone at the moment. After the performance, he found Chen Tongshan:

"Your son’s boxing is good, his basic skills are solid, and he is so lovable. Making a movie will definitely be popular."

This man is none other than Zhu Yanping, a great director who enjoys a certain reputation in Taiwan Province. The Slam Dunk shot by Jay Chou is his work.

For such a person, Chen Tongshan certainly attaches importance to it.

Moreover, letting Ashton Chen make a film has many advantages, besides making his son a star, it can also indirectly promote martial arts culture.

In this way, the two hit it off, and there was the movie shaolin popey.

In fact, at the beginning of filming this film, Zhu Yanping was not confident, and specially invited a "traffic star" for the box office.

That is, in a few months at that time, Jimmy Lin, which was popular in Southeast Asia, was known as the "Asian whirlwind".

Although Ashton Chen has been trained by Chen Tongshan to be very sensible, there is still a problem when shooting. He is afraid of heights.

In shaolin popey, there are many scenes that need to be played by Weiya.

After being hanged, Ashton Chen cried with fear, but Chen Tongshan, a martial arts instructor, didn’t show any respect at all because he was his own son.

Yell directly below: "Xiaolong, don’t cry, you are a man."

Zhu Yanping beside him shook his head and stopped: "He is still a 5-year-old child, not a man. Please put him down quickly."

Chen Tongshan is asking the staff to let his son go.

This shows how strict Chen Tongshan is with his son. Under such a strict father, Ashton Chen is destined to have a different childhood from other children.

Third,

From 1994 to 2006, Ashton Chen had a very hard time in these 12 years.

I lived like a robot, practicing, filming and reading, with almost no entertainment time. At that time, a reporter ran to interview Ashton Chen and asked, "What is your greatest wish?"

Ashton Chen smiled shyly: "I hope I can keep my hair long."

Because of filming, Ashton Chen often needs to shave his head. In summer, the sun is strong, and the children’s skin is tender. Ashton Chen is often sunburned and peeled off from his head to his neck ……

How many children in ordinary families have suffered from this?

For ordinary children, they are eager to have a holiday when they go to school, but for Ashton Chen, going to school is a rare time to relax.

Because when filming, you don’t just have to film. When you are free, besides reciting lines, you also follow several culture teachers to teach him to study. Besides eating and sleeping, he has almost no free time.

Ashton Chen used his childhood to gain fame and a lot of wealth.

Chen Tongshan was in charge of all this wealth, and changed the name of the martial arts school to "Linsi Ashton Chen Martial Arts School". With the fame of Ashton Chen, the martial arts school recruited many students.

It is precisely because of this that many people who don’t know Chen Tongshan think that he regards his son as a cash cow.

In order to make his son famous, Ashton Chen was treated so harshly, but in fact it was not. How could the world use his son as a tool father?

Compared with the father of ordinary people, Chen Tongshan’s requirements for his son are just a little stricter.

In the eyes of ordinary people, those harsh trainings were actually experienced by Chen Tongshan when he was a child. In his view, boys should suffer hardships.

This burly man is just loving his son in his own way.

In 2006, Chen Tongshan chose a good school for Ashton Chen in China, and the environment was very private, so fans wouldn’t bother him, but Ashton Chen didn’t go.

By this time, Ashton Chen had his own ideas, and he didn’t want to live a step-by-step life of filming, attending classes.

He wants to go abroad to study film and television production, and he has chosen a school in Manhattan. This is the first time that Ashton Chen has made a decision for himself and opposed Chen Tongshan’s consciousness.

If Chen Tongshan really regards his son as a cash cow, he will definitely object.

Because at that time, it happened that Ashton Chen was in full swing.

After hearing Ashton Chen’s opinion, Chen Tongshan finally obeyed Ashton Chen’s choice and let him study abroad, although he didn’t want to.

It was then that Ashton Chen disappeared from public view.

It was not until 2008 that it returned to the public’s sight again, but at this time, the entertainment industry was already a different world, although Ashton Chen appeared in many works later.

But it didn’t catch fire.

However, Ashton Chen’s life is still very chic, because he has a very good father.

Many parents of foreign child stars use their children’s money to squander, while Chen Tongshan uses the money to invest, start a company, buy real estate and so on.

It is said that there is a commercial street in Dengfeng, Henan, which is owned by Ashton Chen.

Although Ashton Chen rarely filmed in recent years, he became a film and television production company, acting as a director and producer himself, and invested in Oscar Studios, the largest cinema in Henan. ……

Ashton Chen himself has already achieved wealth freedom, lived in a villa and drove millions of luxury cars, and has become a winner in life.

If Chen Tongshan hadn’t been so strict with Ashton Chen, he wouldn’t be here today.

However, Chen Tongshan’s way of educating children is not worth recommending. In our country, many parents believe in the educational concept of "a dutiful son is born with a stick".

Under high pressure, there is no benefit to children’s physical and psychological growth.

Children, in particular, are fragile and sensitive. They will always remember the painful and happy scene when they were young. As parents, they should give their children more happy memories.

Whether poor or rich, happiness is the most precious thing in this world.

National Health Commission introduced the difference between hospital online platform and Internet hospital.

one

  Cctv newsOn September 14th, the National Health and Wellness Committee held a special press conference to introduce the relevant information and answer questions from reporters about the recently issued documents such as Management Measures for Internet Diagnosis and Treatment (Trial), Management Measures for Internet Hospitals (Trial), Management Standards for Telemedicine Services (Trial) and Management Measures for Clinical Application of Medical Technology.

  Reporter: The definition of Internet hospitals has two forms. One is the Internet hospital of physical medical institutions, and the other is relying on physical Internet institutions. What is the difference between the two Internet hospitals, and then what is the difference in this supervision? How will the online behavior of Internet medical care be connected with medical insurance in the future?

  Jiao Yahui, Deputy Director of Medical Administration and Hospital Authority of National Health and Wellness Committee:Answer the first question first, that is, what is the difference between the two forms of Internet hospitals. One form is the physical medical institutions, such as Run Run Run Shaw Hospital and Huaxi Hospital, which feel that there are not enough talents at present. In addition to using doctors from our hospital to provide services through the Internet, we also want to use doctors from Shanghai and Beijing to provide services. Then we can build a platform for Internet hospitals ourselves or cooperate with Internet companies to build a platform. Doctors from Beijing and Shanghai can provide services for patients in Run Run Run Run Run Run Shaw Hospital and Huaxi Hospital through this platform.

  In this case, the entity hospitals should apply for the Internet Hospital as the second name, such as Run Run Run Shaw Internet Hospital or Huaxi Internet Hospital. Doctors in these hospitals in Beijing and Shanghai can directly practice in this Internet hospital, and there is no need to go through the procedures of multi-point practice or practice change again, so as to stimulate the vitality of medical staff, liberate productivity and maximize the role of high-quality medical resources. This is the first type of Internet hospital.

  The second type of Internet hospital is a third party that applies for hosting an Internet hospital. It must establish close cooperation with a physical medical institution. It cannot be a pure virtual Internet hospital online or in the cloud, so there is no way to supervise it, and there is no way to accept and deal with medical disputes. The entity hospital signs an agreement with the third party that holds the Internet hospital. When the agreement comes into effect, the Internet hospital can take effect. If the agreement is changed and abolished, it is necessary to re-apply for the Internet hospital. For example, Run Run Shaw Hospital or Huaxi Hospital does not cooperate with third parties, and the Internet hospital has no physical medical institutions to rely on when setting up, so this Internet hospital will be cancelled.

  The third party and the entity medical institution that run the Internet hospital are independent subjects who bear legal responsibilities. When a medical dispute occurs, they should apply to the health administrative department registered in the entity hospital for medical dispute.

  The basic standards and supervision of these two types are the same, and they must meet the basic standards of Internet hospitals, and they must be supervised by the provincial Internet medical service supervision platform and incorporated into the local quality control system. At the same time, a community of responsibility is formed between the Internet hospital applied by the third party and the relying entity medical institutions. The entity hospital and the third party should bear the corresponding supervision responsibility first, which is conducive to our online and offline integrated supervision of the Internet hospital. The behavior of Internet hospital diagnosis and treatment should also be included in the performance appraisal and hospital grade evaluation of the entity medical institutions.

  Regarding the second question, the document of the General Office of the State Council pointed out that for some Internet medical treatment behaviors that meet the requirements, corresponding medical insurance and price policies should be formulated, whether they belong to the category of basic medical care or market pricing. First, there must be charging items. If they belong to the category of basic medical services, medical insurance should be reimbursed, which is not the category of basic medical services, so they should be borne by patients. Because not all Internet medical treatment behaviors belong to the category of basic medical care, they do not necessarily have to be included in the scope of medical insurance reimbursement. The policies on price and medical insurance reimbursement have now been placed under the management of the National Medical Insurance Bureau, and we will actively cooperate with them.

Late at night Musk, big announcement!

Tonight, Musk has become the focus of global attention.

At around 21: 25 on March 14th, Beijing time, Musk’s SpaceX heavy-duty launch vehicle was ignited and launched. At present, the results of the third test flight have far exceeded the previous two.

SpaceX announced that the propellant transfer demonstration (T+24 minutes) and the payload door closing process (T+28 minutes) of the starship spacecraft were successfully completed. Musk, the founder of SpaceX, announced on the social platform that the "Starship" has reached the surrounding speed! Congratulations to the SpaceX team! !

This is the third test flight of Starship, and the first two tests exploded. On the first test flight last April, the rocket exploded a few minutes after liftoff; On the second test flight in November, Starship separated the first booster from the upper spacecraft. In Musk’s vision, the "starship" is a vehicle to send humans to Mars, which is also the core goal of his creation of SpaceX.

Thanks to the rapid development momentum, SpaceX’s valuation is rising wildly. According to a report by Bloomberg in December last year, SpaceX’s latest valuation reached US$ 180 billion (about RMB 1,294 billion), second only to ByteDance among unicorn enterprises in the world.

Starship launched into space.

On the evening of March 14th, Beijing time, SpaceX, founded by Musk, launched the third test flight of the Starship heavy launch vehicle.

According to the latest news, the rocket with the largest volume and the strongest thrust in the history of the earth, with the vision of establishing a permanent base on the moon and landing on Mars, has been ignited and launched at around 21: 25 Beijing time.

After launching T+3 minutes, the first and second stages of the Starship heavy launch vehicle were successfully separated.

Eight minutes after the launch of T+,the six raptor engines of Starship successfully turned off, and the spacecraft entered the taxiing phase. It is expected that the engines will be restarted at T+40 minutes. At present, the results of the third test flight have far exceeded the previous two.

SpaceX announced that the propellant transfer demonstration (T+24 minutes) and the payload door closing process (T+28 minutes) of Starship spacecraft were successfully completed. According to the process, the next step is to restart the engine (T+40 minutes) and re-enter the atmosphere (T+49 minutes).

SpaceX said that the T+40-minute engine re-ignition process may have been skipped. In any case, the starship will now embark on the road to the Indian Ocean.

T+1 hour and 3 minutes later, SpaceX said that it has lost the signal with the starship spacecraft and confirmed that it has lost contact with the spacecraft. Today’s test flight can no longer carry out the last step of landing in the Indian Ocean.

After the rocket was launched, later on the 14th, SpaceX founder Musk announced on the social platform that the "Starship" had reached the circling speed! Congratulations to the SpaceX team! !

According to SpaceX official website, on the basis of the second test flight, the third test flight will try more targets, including opening/closing the payload door of the starship aircraft and re-igniting the Raptor engine in space for the first time.

According to the overall process, after taking off, the starship assembly needs to separate the "overweight" propeller from the starship spacecraft, and then the propeller will try to land (on the water), and the spacecraft will continue to carry out a series of tests, and finally fall into the Indian Ocean under controlled conditions.

According to the official timetable, assuming all goes well, the whole process will take about 64 minutes.

On the afternoon of March 13th, local time, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) gave the final "green light" for the test flight. The agency said in a statement that it has confirmed that the mission meets all safety, environmental and policy requirements.

In the live online audio broadcast at the end of February this year, elon musk, the founder of SpaceX, once said that the third test flight of Starship can reach the Earth orbit with a probability of 70%-80%. Today’s rockets are much better than during the first and second test flights.

Musk’s "ambition"

This is the third test flight of Starship, and the first two tests exploded.

On April 20th, 2023, the integrated system of the "Starship" rocket and spacecraft made its first test flight. Some of the 33 main engines of the "overweight" booster failed to turn off, which caused the "Starship" to roll in the air only three minutes after launch and triggered the self-destruction program. In addition, the rocket’s super thrust also caused heavy damage to the launch site.

On November 18th of the same year, SpaceX launched the Starship rocket for the second time. After the rocket was launched for less than 3 minutes, the first and second stages were successfully separated. However, the mission control center lost contact with the Starship spacecraft and was forced to start the self-destruction system. CNN reported that the second test flight of Starship went further than when it was tried in April 2023.

According to SpaceX’s explanation, every step of these launches is to achieve future moon landing and longer-term goals.

According to official website of SpaceX, the new generation of heavy-duty launch vehicle "Starship" is by far the largest and most powerful launch vehicle in the world, with a total height of about 120m and a diameter of about 9m. The rocket consists of two parts, the bottom is a "super heavy" booster, about 69 meters high, equipped with multiple "Raptor" engines; At the top is a spaceship, which is about 50 meters high and can be reused.

In Musk’s vision, the "starship" is a vehicle to send humans to Mars, which is also the core goal of his creation of SpaceX.

Up to now, NASA has invested nearly $4 billion in this project. NASA chose "Starship" to carry out the Artemis project in the future and carry astronauts to the moon. According to the current arrangement, Artemis’ manned moon landing plan may be implemented in September 2026.

1.3 trillion super unicorn

In recent years, outside the earth’s atmosphere, Musk’s SpaceX company has developed very rapidly.

According to statistics, in 2023, the world launched a total of 223 launch vehicles and 98 SpaceX launches, accounting for 45% of the global total, slightly less than the sum of other countries; A total of 2,945 satellites were launched in the world, and 2,514 satellites were launched by SpaceX, accounting for 87% of the global total and 6.7 times that of other countries.

In 2023, the United States launched 116 rockets, of which SpaceX accounted for 98 times. The former quasi-national team-ULA (United Launch Alliance, founded by Boeing and Lockheed Martin) only launched three times.

According to Musk’s plan, in 2024, when only falcons (including heavy falcons) are available, SpaceX will launch 144 times, accounting for 90% of the global total, 10 times that of other countries.

Once the starship matures, SpaceX’s orbital quality will account for 99% of the world’s total, which is 100 times that of other countries.

In terms of revenue, estimates show that SpaceX’s revenue has doubled continuously in the past three years, from $2.3 billion in 2021 to $8.7 billion. In 2023, it even achieved quarterly profit for the first time, which became an important milestone of this business model.

Source: payloadspace

According to the forecast, in 2024, SpaceX’s annual revenue will reach about 13.3 billion US dollars (about 95.6 billion yuan). Among them, the rocket launch revenue will increase by more than 55% year-on-year, and the revenue will reach 5.47 billion US dollars, while the growth rate of the star chain will exceed 63%, and the revenue is expected to exceed 6.9 billion US dollars.

Thanks to the rapid development momentum, SpaceX’s valuation has climbed again in the cold winter of technology. According to a report by Bloomberg last December, SpaceX’s latest valuation reached US$ 180 billion (about RMB 1,294 billion), second only to ByteDance among unicorns in the world.

At present, SpaceX is building a closed-loop ecology composed of new space scenes such as rocket manufacturing and launch, satellite Internet, space travel and deep space exploration.

Faced with this huge commercial blue ocean, institutions such as Blue Origin founded by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, ULA jointly supported by Boeing and Lockheed Martin, Arianespace, a joint venture of the European Space Agency, and the Russian Space Agency are all competing with SpaceX.

Interview with CEO Yu Hao: Anxiety and self-confidence behind 3.6 billion financing

For any enterprise, the most difficult thing is not how to live the present, but how to grasp the future.

Author | Xiao Man

Editor | Li Shuaifei

For any enterprise, the most difficult thing is not how to live the present, but how to grasp the future.

In October this year, Xunyi obtained 3.6 billion yuan in Series C financing-Yu Xunyi, which is 36 times more than the previous round; For the whole intelligent cleaning and even intelligent hardware industry, 3.6 billion is an eye-catching figure.

As soon as the financing news came out, it caused a lot of attention from the outside world.

Judging from the reaction of the outside world, the "focus" mainly focuses on two aspects. First, why is it chasing? Second, after the huge financing, how to pursue the future?

In the eyes of most people in the outside world, from the campus team to entrepreneurship, joining the Xiaomi ecological chain, and getting 3.6 billion financing in the C round of financing, the development of the pursuit seems to have maintained a smooth trend.

However, in the view of founder Yu Hao, the smooth sailing is just a representation. In an interview with Leifeng. com, Yu Hao described the entrepreneurial feeling with "pain" and "anxiety". In the "ideal palace" he built, any node breakthrough does not mean the end, but just the beginning. Beyond Dyson, so is getting high financing.

In the conversation, Yu Hao frequently mentioned "innovation" and "breakthrough". In his view, technological progress is an indispensable reserve for enterprise growth, and it is also an important dimension for him to consider enterprise development based on engineer thinking.

2021 happens to be the tenth anniversary of Yu Hao’s entrepreneurship. For entrepreneurs in every new era, the environment of the times has already branded the enterprise with a theme, and every startup company is bound to be a part of the times, riding the wind and waves in the tide of the times; The same is true for chasing.

The following is the conversation between Leifeng. com and Yu Hao:

3.6 billion Series C Financing: Release of Brand Potential Energy

Q: What does the C-round financing of 3.6 billion yuan mean for Xunyi?

A: This is the choice of enterprise strategy.

In the past, from Pre-A to B round of financing, it was less than 100 million yuan. In fact, all of them were old stock transactions, and there was no need to finance new shares. As a startup company, we have been responsible for our own profits and losses since the beginning of sales, and we haven’t spent much money, so the turn from Pre-A to B basically doesn’t involve money. In the last round, IDG mainly came in.

At present, Xunmo has its own profit model. Although the R&D investment is three times that of its peers, it can still support itself.

The recent C round of financing is because there is a good opportunity, that is, the brand.

To be a brand in the future, we need to reserve more ammunition.-Of course, in this round, Country Garden is actually industrial financing, and Xingyun can help chase and expand the Japanese market.

Now the outside world will indeed recognize us more and more, so this round of financing is indeed relatively fast. It only took more than a month for the C round of financing to start and complete, which is equivalent to completing a PE financing at the speed of VC.

I think this should be a reflection of the full release of potential energy.

"Entrepreneurship": Pain and anxiety coexist

Q: What kind of entrepreneurial process did you go through from Tsinghua University Sky Workshop to now?

A: Actually, the whole process is quite painful.

When I was in Tsinghua, I would do a lot of things, such as making unmanned aerial vehicles and three-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles. At that time, I felt very powerful.

But soon, I found that I didn’t know the market before, and I didn’t know what consumers really wanted. Everything I did was for awards. However, in the next few years, I began to gradually perceive environmental changes, and felt that the most important thing was to do something grounded and marketable-this was the most important change.

Therefore, when starting a business later, two aspects were basically clarified: one is to find the real user needs and prevent the self-satisfied needs; The second is to suit yourself.

Q: Did you set up the pursuit after you came out of school?

A: no. From 2011 to 2013, I worked as a collaborative software company, but I started a little early and didn’t make any money. Later, I began to look at other markets.

I thought about being an electric car in 2013; Because when I was in Tsinghua before, probably in 2010, I led a team to do the auto-driving design. At that time, when I came out to see the direction, I chose the electric car first.

At that time, we went to car factories all over the world to find the feeling, including Tesla, and found that there were too many resources needed to build a car. At that time, the car was different from now. Today, it is not necessary to prove whether the new car can be built, but at that time, it is necessary to prove whether the track can be built.

We also considered making scooters, because four-wheelers need too many resources, and we thought about making two-wheelers a good vehicle.

Finally, we chose to land on the robot, because the robot technology is more complicated, but it is also more in line with our relative advantages.

Q: At first, I decided to start from the direction of sweeping robot. Why was the first product introduced a vacuum cleaner?

A: At the initial stage of research and development, the sweeper and the vacuum cleaner went hand in hand. Twenty people studied the sweeper and twenty people studied the vacuum cleaner, but the vacuum cleaner was commercialized earlier, and the high-speed motor took the lead in finding the differentiated advantage.

Q: Was the product landing smooth at first?

A: it’s very difficult.

Because we chose VSLAM, this technology was originally difficult to develop. Although we do think that VSLAM vision is a long-term direction, it is really not easy to develop.

The other is the supply chain, sales, channels, etc. outside of technology development, which was only slightly better after joining the Xiaomi ecological chain at the end of 2017.

"Growth Opportunity": From Xiaomi Ecological Chain to Independent Brand

Q: What is the opportunity to join the Xiaomi ecological chain?

A: After we get the high-speed motor out. At that time, there was an acceleration camp in Barn College. Twelve teams were selected from hundreds of teams across the country to join, and then they were divided into classes to defend. We were the first, and then Xiaomi decided to invest in us.

In fact, when Xiaomi joined, he had already invested in another sweeping robot company, but he finally voted for us.

Q: What is the development process after joining the Xiaomi ecological chain?

A: It was difficult in the early days. At first, Xiaomi used more products from another company. However, when the other party’s inhalation power to Xiaomi is 110W, we will achieve 120 W; The battery life of the other product is half an hour, so we can do it for one hour, and then control the cost lower-the other party reported more than 800, and we reported more than 600.

As a result, in the Xiaomi ecological chain, for the first time, a company sold better than the Mijia brand’s own things. After the sales volume rose, Xiaomi slowly signed a contract with us. First the vacuum cleaner, then we saw that VSLAM did a good job and gave us the sweeper.

In the future, we may cut into other categories, some of which are still in the project stage and may be introduced to the market next year.

Q: What do you think of the impact of Xiaomi on its eco-chain enterprises?

A: Xiaomi has helped the growth of many enterprises in China, and it has also had a great impact on the manufacturing industry. First, it broke the original business pattern and was willing to help start-ups; The other is that George W. Milla raised the quality standards and design standards of the manufacturing industry.

From these two aspects, Xiaomi has played a catfish effect on the whole manufacturing industry, which in turn promoted the changes of traditional enterprises.

Q: What’s your thinking on building the brand "Zhui Mi"?

A: In the past, the market paid more attention to the parameters and performance of products. Although we made our own brands, many of them were actually "millet-like people".

Now we are going to a broader group, we will interact with users on Tik Tok, the products should be rich and interesting, and there should be scene demonstrations. We are doing this well.

Q: How does Xunyi formulate corresponding channel strategies according to market changes?

A: Channels will change every three to five years. Often, when channels change, it is an opportunity for new brands. What we encounter today is the opportunity for new categories to superimpose new channels.

There are three main strategies to pursue: one is to "fight the old with the new", make momentum in new channels, and then go to the old platform (cultivation); The second is to "hit the low with the high", which means that we must stand at the commanding heights of technology or price advantage; The last one is to "fight fast and slow down" and speed up the work of new things.

Q: Every company has different development routes, such as the "millet route", so what is the pursuit route?

A: We hope to follow the "Tesla route", that is, to open up, innovate and break through.

The initial breakthrough may be relatively simple, it is a breakthrough in parameters, and then it is a breakthrough in category definition. I hope to pursue companies like Tesla and Apple in the future.

four

"Transcendence" is only the beginning of the goal.

Q: From the external impression, Chasing set the Flag of "challenging Dyson" from the early stage of the venture. From the initial 100,000 rpm to the current 200,000 rpm, what kind of iterative process is in the middle? Why do you have to work so hard on the motor speed?

A: Let’s start with why we should make a motor. Simply put, the faster the motor speed, the greater the suction of the vacuum cleaner. For example, when we increase the motor speed from 20,000 rpm to 100,000 rpm, the suction force will increase by 25 times.

However, the basic principle of high-speed motor is different from that of traditional motor. It is a new thing of mechatronics, not an update iteration based on traditional motor.

When we first started doing it, only Dyson achieved 100,000 rpm, and the domestic one was basically 10,000 rpm to 20,000 rpm. We found that Dyson’s battery design, control and aerodynamics are all brand-new; To surpass them, we need to break through these things.

So we started with R&D and did motor research and development for two years, but later we found that there were still manufacturing process problems, so we spent another year looking for OEM manufacturing.

It was not until 2017 that we finished this process to achieve production. At that time, Xiaomi also voted for us, which was our first stage.

Q: How did you achieve transcendence afterwards?

A: The motor has been made, and the products have been sold on the line. In the second stage, we felt that we should set a higher goal and make a "moon landing plan", and we must work hard in the place where others are best at it. Later, we achieved 150,000 revolutions from 100,000 revolutions and then achieved 200,000 revolutions.

By 2020, we are thinking about entering the third stage, which is different from others. At this stage, we have made the heart and brain of the machine. The heart is a high-speed motor, and the brain is responsible for recognition and processing, thus expanding to all directions.

Q: What’s the next step in the search?

A: Not long ago, we started an exploratory project like robot dog, and we plan to make it into a service robot in the next decade. "Service robot" doesn’t mean to look like a person, but is based on sensor processing and has an execution structure.

In addition, we are still looking for directions in various household and commercial products, such as range hoods.

Searching for the future plan includes several stages-achieving 10 billion in three years; 40 billion in five years; 200 billion in 10 years.We will continue to work towards this goal.

"10 billion in three years" means that we must continue to charge, and we must have evolutionary genes like Amazon and Apple, which is also the problem we will solve in the next 2-3 years.

"40 billion in five years" is an important process from the China market to the global market. This process is not to distribute goods to the sea, but to brand the sea, because China enterprises have mastered five capabilities at the same time: positive research and development, core technology, supply chain, sales and brand capabilities.

"200 billion in 10 years" is an enterprise that hopes to pursue the future and become an era. We have now positioned ourselves as a technology enterprise that keeps trying, so we have invested a lot of money in research and development.

Going out to sea and offline: from point to surface,

The process of breaking and connecting

Q: As mentioned earlier, the plan of "40 billion yuan in five years" is actually a process of a brand going out to sea and going global. The performance of going out to sea in recent years is very bright. In 2020, the sales increased by 390% year-on-year. How did this happen?

A: We went to sea mainly through three stages. In the first stage, we cooperated with distributors and they helped us out. The second stage is to cooperate with foreign local partners, and we began to make our own market; In the third stage, we mainly play tricks in some benchmark markets, such as Germany and France.

Q: Why start with European countries?

A: Because we still have the process of going out and learning, the feedback from Europe and South Korea is relatively direct, while that from the United States is relatively strict. Some brands started from Amazon, but this model is different from the pursuit. We need to extend the online and offline sales network, so we chose to start from Europe and then go to the United States.

Q: What about the Japanese and Korean markets?

A: We have entered the Korean market before, and we have a high acceptance of China technology.

The Japanese market is relatively difficult to enter, and doing offline in Japan requires a lot of trust endorsement, so we choose to cooperate with Xingyun Group. In the process of development, Xingyun Group used to help Japanese enterprises to enter China, but now it is the other way around, helping China enterprises to enter Japan-and we have thus established an investment relationship.

Q: In September this year, Xunmi opened its first offline store in Hangzhou. How do you plan to pursue offline channels?

A: I think,When offline in China, a closed loop of "small channels" is needed. Today is the era of channel fragmentation. It is necessary to break down the small channels one by one and then connect them. This is a process of breaking reconnection.

For the pursuit, we will find two or three cities to carry out offline layout, and then gradually spread it after finding the online and offline linkage mode-at present, we choose Hangzhou because it is a typical one in the new first-tier cities and will gradually spread it after the experiment.

Q: How big is the market space for sweeping robots in the future?

A:I think the penetration rate of sweeping robots is only 10%, and this market is still very large. Sweeping robots can mark the size of the washing machine market, and there is still 10 times space to be tapped.

six

In anxiety and growth, construct "two flywheels"

Q: What is the current situation of the company’s volume and R&D investment?

A: At present, there are more than 1,800 people in our company, 70% of whom are technicians, and the annual R&D investment accounts for 12%.

Q: From the initial 40-odd people to today’s 1,800-odd people, how did you and your team grow up with the pursuit?

A: On the one hand, I have a lot of self-reflection. I think self-reflection is very important. On the other hand, to benchmark the best people in the industry, to benchmark some start-ups and even cross-disciplinary people, these benchmarks have also brought great progress.

These can bring me some new ideas and thoughts. After thinking, I should interact with the team in time, and they will do practical exercises, and then there will be a feedback.

soWe have two flywheels, one is to study and think on my own; The other is that the team should interact with me, understand, implement and give feedback. It is not easy to understand. After understanding, disassemble, then implement and give feedback-only in this way can the two flywheels run and progress be made.

Q: What is your personal status today?

A: To be honest, until today, I am very anxious, but I have different anxiety points at different time points, but there are actually similarities.

I always hope that I can do something that has great changes to mankind like Ford and Edison. If I see this distance is far away, I will really be very anxious.

When we started our business a few years ago, we were thinking, "What is the first product? How to make the first product successful? " Today, we are thinking more about how to make the most advanced and unique products in the world, products that can affect more people and have a wider range of influence. This is the anxiety now.

Q: In your opinion, the growth of the pursuit is beyond its own strength and efforts. Is there a factor of the times?

A: The relationship between society and enterprises is not addition, but multiplication effect.

If there is no progress in social management, it is useless for enterprises to work 1000 times; Conversely, the social environment is fair to all participants, and it is useless for enterprises to have no strength and efforts.

So,Under the multiplication effect, the key is the matching of time and energy, as well as predicting what may happen in the future and making reserves in advance.

Q: What do you think of the relationship between enterprises and the times?

A: The birth of every enterprise is a brand of the times. Ten years ago, it solved the problem of universality of science and technology, but ten years later, it focused on the progress of science and technology in the industry and explored the future, so each enterprise has different factors of the times.

Honda is in trouble again! Here comes the latest car purchase manual.

Ride comfort is also a key concern when people buy a car, and the difference between different models is actually quite big. What we said today. So whether this car is a mule or a horse, let’s take a look at its actual performance.

Let’s take a look at the appearance of Ailishen first. The front of Ailishen’s car is domineering and stylish, and the air intake grille is shield-shaped, which looks more spiritual. Coupled with the fashionable and dynamic headlights, it has improved a certain level. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, front fog lights, automatic opening and closing, adaptive far and near light, delayed closing and so on. Coming to the side of the car body, the size of the car body is 4951 mm * 1842 mm * 1711 mm. The car uses clean lines, and the side circumference looks very individual. With large-sized thick-walled tires, it looks full of sports. In the design of the rear end, the overall shape of the rear end echoes the front face, and the taillights look very domineering. The layout of the exhaust pipe uses a bilateral double-out shape, which is neat and vivid.

In terms of interior decoration, the overall visual effect of Ailishen’s interior decoration is very distinctive and looks very exquisite. The steering wheel of the car is very domineering and made of genuine leather, which gives a good grip experience. Let’s take a look at the central control. The car is decorated with a dynamic and lively touch-control LCD central control panel, which makes the interior design quite layered and gives people a sense of movement. Let Xiaobian introduce the dashboard and seats. The dashboard design is remarkable and looks very young. The car uses leather seats, equipped with functions such as electric adjustment with memory and seat proportion tilting, which has good support and comfort.

The car is equipped with car networking, driving mode selection, remote control key, Bluetooth key, rear wiper, interior atmosphere light and other configurations, which greatly improves the convenience of using the car.

I wonder if you are excited about this car introduced today? If you have plans to buy a car, Xiao Bian thinks it can be included in the alternative list.

Half-price "Tank 300", 2 meters and 8 wheelbase for 99,000, and the hybrid version only needs 5 oils.

In the off-road market, regardless of sales or popularity, Tank 300 is still firmly in the position of a brother. For this phenomenon, many people think that although it is not as fuel-efficient as hybrid off-road vehicles, and it is not as affordable as various light off-road vehicles, its pure fuel+differential lock+girder setting is the real off-road vehicle, and it can go over mountains and mountains without scruple … But in fact, even the tank officials admit that many of their own owners have never crossed the wild once.

Even if there is no official self-certification of tanks, now everyone can feel that the cross-country craze is hot for the burly shape and the more compelling hardware, rather than how many people really play with mud every day. In fact, from the point of view of just need, the contractor and the site owner either change careers or retire. After the slowdown of real estate and large infrastructure, there is no such thing as off-road just need; From the point of personal travel, go on road trip may be hot, but the real outdoor camping is still a small circle.

In this environment, the cross-country craze can still be pursued, but really buy a pure fuel with a girder, unless its price is very attractive, otherwise high fuel consumption and high car price may easily lead to regret after a month or two; Moreover, it is not only the cost. Although today’s off-road vehicles are trying to improve road driving, the overall feeling of wobbling or hard chassis, combined with large size and big blind spots, is hard to drive …

In this environment, all kinds of light cross-country are becoming more and more popular. Because it seems to be a kind of fox and tiger, it actually meets the real needs: it looks like a bluff, but its fuel consumption is similar to that of a city SUV, and it will not be so uncomfortable and difficult to park. For example, BJ30 from Beijing Cross-country had little popularity before the replacement, but its sales volume rose immediately after the replacement.

The first thing to say about this car is that its name is very confusing. Regardless of its own positioning or the impression it left on the previous generation, many people unconsciously think that BJ30 is a very compact A-class SUV, which is smaller than Haval H6. But in fact, after its replacement, it has caught up with BJ40, with a length of more than 4.7 meters, a wheelbase of 2.82 meters, and a proper quasi-B-class car. At this time, combined with its pricing of 99,900 yuan, how can it be considered as a high cost performance?

But it is not only the large size, but also the cross-country and pan-shaped shape of BJ30, which also explains what value is the primary productivity. From the perspective of cost performance, people around you will definitely say that it is worth the fare if they buy such a large and square SUV at the level of 100,000. For myself, it also meets the two needs of big space and off-road feelings. However, in terms of configuration, the 99,900 entry-level version, although fragrant in price, is slightly unreasonable in configuration.

Fortunately, compared with the entry-level version, what BJ30 really deserves to choose is the top match. Because the top version is first equipped with a hybrid system, and although the SUV with a load-bearing body is much more fuel-efficient than the hard-core off-road, it is the size of a medium-sized car after all, so the fuel consumption can be further improved after mixing; At the same time, the performance will be further strengthened after the top is equipped with dual motors, so it has a four-wheel drive system. The passability may not be as good as those of pure hard-core models, but it can also make BJ30, which has a bluffing face value, occasionally go bad. As for the price, the price of 130,000 class can have lower fuel consumption and better performance, but it is a better option.

Generally speaking, since the ordinary urban SUV has become a popular choice, manufacturers have begun to look for new profitable cows. Cross-country and MPV have gradually assumed the role of making money. However, in this era of involution and clear demand, more brands still choose to demand quantity first. Then, compared with the 200,000-odd tank 300, which can really go off-road without scruple, will you be more inclined to the BJ30, which only costs half price, but is more fuel-efficient and comfortable?
