It can be said that Alphabet (Google’s parent company), Meta and Microsoft, the three giants of American AI, have handed over their own stage test scores, but unlike the impression formed by the outside world in the previous paragraph, Google, which has been constantly sung, has seen its share price soar after the financial report, while Meta, which won a heart by Llama 3, has evaporated by 1.6 trillion overnight.

Only Microsoft continued to exceed expectations, watching the other two unreliable rivals smile and get back the top spot in the world market value.

Google, the big brother who is often upstaged by his peers on various occasions, is finally proud this time.

Not only did Q1′ s revenue, advertising and cloud business all increase at a faster speed, but it also crushed all the indicators, with an increase of over 15% after the close, and announced the dividend distribution and $70 billion stock repurchase plan for the first time.After the financial report was published, Google’s market value soared by 300 billion US dollars, making it the fourth largest listed company in the world after Microsoft, Apple and NVIDIA.

In this quarter, the total revenue of Google’s parent company Alphabet was 80.54 billion US dollars, much higher than the market expectation of 79.04 billion US dollars, up 15% year-on-year, the fastest growth rate in two years. Net profit jumped 57% year-on-year to $23.7 billion, and diluted earnings per share was $1.89, up 61.5% from $1.17 in the same period last year.

Despite betting on the big language model Gemini training and infrastructure investment, the AI capital expenditure of $12 billion this season exceeded expectations by $1.7 billion. Closely related to AI, the growth of cloud business, which is regarded as Google’s next growth engine, is still accelerating rapidly. Revenue in the first quarter increased by 28.4% year-on-year to $9.6 billion, which was higher than the analyst’s expectation of $9.37 billion, and doubled the overall revenue growth rate for several consecutive quarters. Although it ranks third in the market share of cloud computing, it is still trying to catch up with Amazon and Microsoft, but it is finally on the right track of turning losses into wins.

"In the past eight months, we have released more than 1,000 new products and functions in the field of cloud computing. At the Google Cloud Next conference, more than 300 customers and partners talked about their success in artificial intelligence on Google Cloud, including global brands such as Bayer, Mercedes-Benz and Wal-Mart. " Google CEO Sandel Pichai said at the earnings conference.

And the credit still has to be given to AI. Like Microsoft, more and more enterprises seek to deploy AI load on public cloud, and Google Cloud also provides customers with various generative artificial intelligence services through the Gemini model. Recently, a new CPU「Axion "based on Arm architecture was launched, aiming at improving the efficiency of cloud computing and reducing operating costs, and further strengthening Google’s competitiveness in the cloud market. Polat, CFO, stressed that "artificial intelligence is making an increasing contribution" to the sales of Google’s cloud division.

Pichai also believes that the transformation of artificial intelligence is a "golden opportunity", and the company is racing against time to integrate this technology into the whole business.At the Google Cloud Conference earlier this month, everything revolved around generative AI, further opened and optimized Gemini 1.5 Pro, and officially launched its own most powerful and expandable AI accelerator TPU v5p P.

In addition, the core advertising industry has also achieved steady improvement this quarter. Total revenue was $61.6 billion, a year-on-year increase of 13%. Among them, Google search and other advertising revenue was 46.2 billion US dollars, and YouTube advertising revenue was 8.1 billion US dollars, both of which achieved double-digit growth.

However, for Google, which is still positioned as a "search giant" in the market, the boost of generative AI may be a double-edged sword: on the one hand, Google is exploring new income channels such as advertising placement, independent subscription service and enterprise authorization through AI tools such as Gemini to adapt to market changes and needs. On the other hand, improving the generative search experience may affect the original advertising profitability. At the same time, the rookie of AI search engine represented by Perplexity also faces potential challenges.

In fact, compared with Microsoft and Meta, Google has not had an easy time these months. First, Gemini’s image generation function was forced to withdraw from the market because of racial discrimination, which once triggered a controversy about whether Pichai was qualified as CEO of Google. After paying a large amount of severance pay for layoffs, this week, 50 employees protesting against the company’s signing of a cloud computing contract with Israel were fired, causing internal riots.

In the midst of disputes and challenges, this beautiful financial report comes at the right time. Not only has it greatly boosted market confidence, but it also shows that Google has found the right direction in the AI ? ? era. With the recent reorganization of the artificial intelligence department and more attention to product speed, Google’s performance in the second half of the year is still expected.

After experiencing the "efficiency year" of business focus adjustment, department reorganization, artificial intelligence and layoffs and cost reduction, Meta made a beautiful turnaround with a revenue of 40.1 billion US dollars in the last quarter. The share price has soared by 140% in the past 12 months, far exceeding Google’s 50% and Microsoft’s 35%.

In this 2024 Q1, the social media giant, which just released a new generation of open source model Llama3, continued to reap the most brilliant first-quarter performance in history, with revenue and profit higher than Wall Street’s expectations.

The data shows that Meta’s total revenue in the quarter was US$ 36.46 billion, a year-on-year increase of 27%, the fastest growth rate in three years. Net profit increased by 117% year-on-year to US$ 12.37 billion, and diluted earnings per share was US$ 4.71, more than double that of US$ 2.2 in the same period last year.

Among them, advertising business is still the core income source of Meta, and the results are gratifying. It increased by 27% year-on-year to $35.64 billion, accounting for nearly 98% of the total revenue. The daily users of FoA increased by 7% year-on-year to 3.24 billion, and the advertising exposure also increased by 20%.

This is mainly due to the application of artificial intelligence technology, which significantly improves the accuracy of targeted advertising. According to Meta, at present, more than half of their advertising recommendations are driven by AI.

After falling to the bottom in 2022, Meta tried to regain the market share of digital advertising. Zuckerberg then launched an initiative to reorganize the advertising business, with the focus on using AI. Susan Li, CFO, once said that the company has been investing in AI models that can accurately predict user-related advertisements and tools that automate the advertising creation process.

In terms of software, Meta recently presented the "GPT-4 level" open source AI model king Llama 3, defeated Gemini 1.5 and Claude 3 in a number of benchmark tests, and upgraded the potential training parameters to 400B b. Widely used in different platforms and scenarios, and vowed to wash off LLM companies and API suppliers with free commercial blood. At the same time, Meta AI is integrated into family applications such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Ray-Ban smart glasses to provide users with more flexible and diverse assistant functions.

In terms of hardware, like every colleague who doesn’t want to be stuck, Meta not only stepped up the storage of NVIDIA chips, but also released the latest version of Training and Inference Accelerator (MTIA). Using TSMC’s 5nm process, focusing on strengthening AI reasoning, it is specially designed for the ranking and recommendation system of its social software, and its performance is three times higher than that of the previous generation. They also developed a large rack-mounted system that can accommodate up to 72 accelerators to support self-developed chips. Now they have been deployed in the data center of Meta to complement the commercial GPU.

With the cooperation of AI software and hardware, overseas retailers from China, such as Temu and Shein, also added a fire to Meta’s performance with huge investment in Facebook and Instagram advertisements. And with the approaching of the US presidential election in 2024, political advertising has surged. According to the latest forecast of AdImpact, this year will be the most expensive election cycle in American history, and the advertising expenditure is expected to reach 10.2 billion dollars.

At the same time, due to the annual efficiency adjustment plan, Meta laid off nearly 10% of its employees, and the total number of employees was 69,329 as of March 31, 2024.

In stark contrast to streamlined operations, Xiaozha’s more drastic artificial intelligence layout. In the face of the growing AI war in Silicon Valley, Meta raised its capital expenditure from the expected $30 billion to $37 billion to $35 billion to $40 billion in 2024 to "accelerate infrastructure construction to support the company’s AI roadmap" and continue to compete for top AI talents with high salaries to join the company’s technology research and development.

In addition, he seems to have a "obsession" with the meta-universe, saying that he will continue to invest in long-term goals and "build a virtual world full of incarnations." It should be noted that although the revenue of Reality Labs, which is responsible for VR/AR/MR and Metauniverse development, increased year-on-year, it still lost $3.8 billion, and the total loss has exceeded $45 billion since the end of 2020.

Various unstable factors, together with expanding AI expenditure and a lower-than-expected revenue outlook for the second quarter, have caused the market to worry about Meta’s future sustainable profitability. Despite handing over a super-bright performance answer sheet, Meta’s share price still fell.

And this does not seem to shake Zuckerberg’s determination to push AI. Just as the stock price is diving, the financial report phone will be opened as scheduled.

He firmly told investors that he would spare no expense to build Meta into "the world’s leading artificial intelligence company". It also revealed that Meta is actively exploring a variety of AI revenue-generating strategies, including providing enterprise-level services, introducing advertisements into AI interactions, and allowing people to pay for larger AI models and more access to computing resources. AI has also helped Meta to increase application participation, thus allowing more advertisements to be seen and directly improving advertisements to bring more value.

However, Xiaozha also bluntly said, "Building a leading AI will be a more arduous task than optimizing the application experience, and it may take several years."The implication is that although the long-term value of taking AI is full, don’t expect it to make big money immediately. The words directly scared the market to collapse. Meta’s share price plummeted by 18% after hours, and its market value shrank by nearly $200 billion.

This unexpected trend just reflects the current general attitude of Wall Street towards artificial intelligence: compared with a lot of AI investment, the market wants to see the balance between expenditure and growth, and looks forward to a clearer monetization signal.

However, for Meta, fully embracing AI technology and then applying it to social networks, advertising, metauniverse, wearable devices and other fields, even if it takes several years to turn into considerable profits, it is also determined to pay and wait. Zuckerberg blocked his future this time, and he won’t go back when he opens his bow.

Unlike Meta, which was plunged by the Nasdaq market, Microsoft gained momentum after its financial report was released. It rose by 5% after hours, and overtook Apple for the nth time to become the highest value company in the world.

As the first commercial track leader to bet on generative artificial intelligence, Microsoft’s performance is still firm, and all business indicators have exceeded expectations:

The total revenue was $61.86 billion, up 17% year-on-year, exceeding the previous official guideline of 14.5%. The net profit was $21.94 billion, up 20% from $18.3 billion in the same period last year. The adjusted earnings per share was $2.94, higher than the market expectation of $2.82.

Driven by the strong demand of AI, Intelligent Cloud, including Azure public cloud, Windows server, voice recognition software Nuance and GitHub, continued to live up to expectations, with revenue increasing by 21% year-on-year to $26.7 billion, higher than the market expectation of $26.25 billion. The growth rate was the highest in five fiscal quarters, and it also surpassed rivals Amazon AWS and Alphabet Google Cloud.

Among them, Azure and other cloud services increased by 31% year-on-year, and 7 percentage points came from AI contribution.

In this regard, CEO Nadella pointed out in a conference call that "Azure has become the center of AI projects, involving not only AI models, but also databases and other services. Many customers are using Microsoft platforms and tools to build their own AI solutions:

More than 65% of Fortune 500 companies are using Azure OpenAI service, and GitHub Copilot for developers has 1.8 million paid subscribers. 30,000 customers use Copilot Studio low-code tools to customize their own Copilot. "

In addition to intelligent cloud, since this is the first full quarter since Microsoft launched 365 Copilot generative artificial intelligence assistant to commercial customers last November, the market is also very concerned about the sales performance of Office suite.

Nadella said that Copilot has embedded the latest technology of OpenAI into Microsoft’s entire product line to provide customers with various value-added services. The data shows that the revenue of productivity and business process departments increased by 12% year-on-year to $19.6 billion in this quarter, of which the revenue of Office 365 increased by 15%, and the number of paid subscribers has reached 80.8 million. It is expected that it will continue to achieve steady growth in the next fiscal quarter-which shows that Microsoft has a solid foundation and remarkable achievements in the commercialization of AI software.

In addition, thanks to the acquisition of Activision Blizzard in October last year, Microsoft’s personal computing revenue, including game business, also achieved double-digit growth to $15.6 billion, and Xbox performance increased by 62% year-on-year.

Nadella confidently said: "Microsoft is leading a new era of AI transformation, bringing better business results to various roles and industries."

Since the beginning of this year, Microsoft has been making great moves in the field of AI. On the eve of the financial report, an exciting news was announced: on the basis of the 2020 cooperation agreement with Coca-Cola Company, we will continue to sign a five-year strategic contract worth $1.1 billion. Help it achieve further digital transformation through Microsoft Azure Cloud, Microsoft 365 Copilot tools and leading generative artificial intelligence technology.

Last week, Microsoft’s artificial intelligence empire expanded to the Middle East for the first time: it invested $1.5 billion in G42, an AI company in the United Arab Emirates, and obtained its minority stake and board seats. Meanwhile, G42 will run its AI applications and services on the Azure cloud computing platform.

In the layout of the big model, after spending $13 billion on OpenAI, Microsoft also decided not to spoil ChatGPT alone, but to open up more possibilities. In February, it was announced that it had reached an in-depth cooperation with Mistral AI, a French star AI startup, investing 150,000 euros and providing computing infrastructure to assist in large-scale model training and reasoning. Mistral has also become the second commercial closed-source model supplier of Microsoft besides OpenAI.

In March, after leading the latest round of financing for the artificial intelligence unicorn Infection AI, Microsoft directly poached its two co-founders and most of its technical staff. Mustafa Suleyman, the former CEO of Influence, was appointed as the CEO of Microsoft AI, a newly established artificial intelligence department, responsible for integrating consumer toC products, including Copilot, Bing and Edge, and reporting directly to Nadella. Another co-founder Karen Simonyan joined as the chief scientist. One operation not only obtained the authorization of Influence technology, but also completed the talent acquisition of "hollowing out" level, which once shocked the industry.

In terms of hardware, in addition to introducing two new Surface as the next generation AIPC, Microsoft is also developing a new network card similar to NVIDIA ConnectX-7 to support the self-developed Maia 100. It also plans to hoard 1.8 million AI chips by the end of this year and triple the number of GPUs. Significant progress has also been made in building a data center worth up to $100 billion with OpenAI and building a supercomputer called "Stargate".

Bet on a number of mainstream large model development teams, make great strides in data processing capabilities, coupled with the stronger technical advantages after the launch of GPT-5, Microsoft has a stable position in the Jianghu.

Looking at the new round of financial performance of Meta, Alphabet and Microsoft, it is not difficult to see that generative artificial intelligence has penetrated into all aspects of the business pipeline and become the core engine driving enterprise growth.

Microsoft’s success is particularly typical, with a number of AI software and hardware forward-looking layout firmly in the top spot, and various businesses take off at high speed.

Although Meta’s huge AI investment makes investors jumpy, it is still unknown whether it can realize commercial profit as soon as possible, but the advertising revenue boosted by AI has achieved initial results. With Llama’s big model and computing power blessing, Zuckerberg’s determination and ambition to build a global AI leader should not be underestimated.

As for big brother Google, it finally found its own rhythm in the AI ? ? war. Weapons such as Gemini and TPU have sharpened their swords and are ready to accelerate the search for new growth points in the AI wave.

The judgment of the three giants on the development direction of artificial intelligence is surprisingly consistent, and they all offered a gamble of real money to invest in this future technological change. Standing on the cusp of the times, how high and how far AI can finally take them, the eyes of the global technology industry will look here.

Sun Xi

1905 movie network news A few days ago, Sun Xi, a Beijing people’s art actress who was loved by the audience for her role as "Aunt Xi" in Empresses in the Palace, published a long article in Weibo on the question "Why even the best actors have uncontrollable roles", and put forward her own profound and unique opinions. Taking her personal experience as a case, she objectively analyzed the reasons why it is difficult for actors to overlap with each role 100%, which attracted praises from netizens.

I don’t know when the trend of using "one person with thousands of faces" to describe idol acting suddenly rose in the pink circle, and various fans have developed different titles. For a time, no matter whether it is small fresh meat or old bones, everyone plays like what, and each one is "one person with thousands of faces".

Searching for "one person with thousands of faces" in Baidu has many results.

The problem is that although "one person has thousands of faces, it is the greatest praise for an actor and the dream that many actors have been pursuing". The difference between an ideal and a dream is that what you can achieve through hard work is an ideal, and what you can’t achieve through hard work is basically a dream. This time, professional actors finally stood up and told us with objective and rational brushstrokes: "Even the best actors do have roles that they can’t control."

Sun Xi published a long article in Weibo.

In the long article, Sun Xi deeply analyzed the objective factors that it is difficult for even a particularly excellent actor to be 100% coincident with every role.

I will also share my personal experience in college as a case, which shows that the lack of subjective conditions will also affect the actor’s interpretation of the role.

With clear logic and well-founded reply, Sun Xi has been praised by many people in the industry and also praised by netizens: "I have known you since Feng Yuan, and your favorite performance in the world is Feng Yuan. From Feng Yuan to Park Sunseeker, it feels like your growth as a good actor, and you should play a role that suits you at the right age." "Goddess, you should go further and further on the road to being a good actor."

Therefore, in fact, fans really don’t need to boast that idols are "one person with thousands of faces". As actors, every stage of life has a mentality at each stage, and there will be roles suitable for each stage. Grasping the present, shooting every play well, taking every role seriously, looking back on your career one day and putting all the roles together are naturally irrefutable "one person has thousands of faces."

　　BEIJING, Beijing, June 22 (Qiu Yu) In the rapidly developing health care industry, the elderly have become the main force of consumption. According to the data of china health care association, the annual sales of health care products in China is about 200 billion yuan, of which the consumption of the elderly accounts for more than 50%.

　　According to the report released by China Consumers Association, about 70% of consumers are not satisfied with the domestic health food market. According to a survey conducted by a reporter from Zhongxin. com (WeChat WeChat official account: cns2012), many health care products companies play the family card and use false and exaggerated marketing methods to fool the elderly into buying products. When the elderly find problems, they fall into the dilemma of safeguarding their rights.

　　[event]

　　University retired teachers and couples spend 500,000 yuan on health care products.

　　Ms. Liu’s mother is 78 years old. She and her wife are both retired university teachers. They receive a total pension of 15,000 yuan per month, but they have bought all their savings for health care products. "In eight years, the two old people spent at least 500,000 yuan on health care products, and even secretly borrowed money from old colleagues to buy them."

　　"Parents buy health care products to save money, and they only eat one meal when eating out. But now you must drink 100 ml of oral liquid after meals, just like soup, "Ms. Liu said." However, my father is getting thinner and thinner, and the doctor has repeatedly mentioned that he is malnourished. "

　　"Mother’s leg joint is not good, and she insists on not going to the hospital. However, she spent at least 100,000 yuan in a health care product company, saying that she could support the elderly and eat health care products for free. "She questioned that the health care product company did not even issue a contract, let alone mention how to provide for the elderly. Ms. Liu is somewhat helpless about this.

　　As for the reason why her mother is addicted to buying health care products, Ms. Liu said that the health care product salesman went door-to-door every day and "washed her brain".

　　[Secret]

　　Salesmen play the "family card" and kneel down to market.

　　Why are the elderly easily fooled by health care product salesmen? Wang Dahong, secretary-general of china health care association Health Products Market Working Committee, told reporters that the elderly are eager to be cared for and afraid of loneliness, but many elderly people’s children are not around and don’t have enough time to take care of them. Some illegal marketers take advantage of the psychological vacancy of the elderly and induce them to buy products through spiritual comfort and other means.

　　According to recent media reports, an old man in Guangdong spent 200,000 yuan on health care products in four years, saying that "because of loneliness and money, I hope someone will spend more time with me".

　　A health care product salesman revealed that core information can be obtained from the elderly through home visits, including their economic conditions, physical condition and who is in charge at home.

　　Ms. Liu said that the old couple is usually the mother. More than a dozen salesmen from different health care products marketing companies frequently visit their homes and sometimes send some cheap flour and fruit. Mother’s knees were not good, and a female salesman even knelt on the ground to apply essential oil and massage to the elderly, which made her very moved.

　　The reporter learned that "family offensive" is a common means for some health care product salesmen. Many salesmen even call "mom and dad, grandparents" as soon as they come to the door, and also help the elderly to do housework and chat.

　　Brainwash the elderly by organizing meetings and traveling.

　　After playing the "family card", health care products companies will further brainwash the elderly by sending product benefits, organizing meetings, and free medical treatment.

　　The reporter found that some health care products companies sent a variety of "benefits", including "old cadres’ special medicine and food homologous products ‘ Fengling Capsule ’ " "Life Soft Rubber Magnetic Energy Watch" and "Human Meridian Acupoint Physical Therapy Pen".

　　Ms. Liu’s mother has a special health notebook with the time and place of various health care products marketing activities written on it, as well as celebrity lectures with titles such as "academician, tutor, professor and doctor". Ms. Liu said that in an activity, a famous doctor who claimed to have seen the doctor for the leader knelt on the stage and kowtowed to the old people and shouted "Mom and Dad". As a result, her mother spent 10,000 yuan to buy "egg albumin that can save lives".

　　The reporter contacted a health care product salesman. From the video sent by his WeChat circle of friends, a middle-aged man introduced the product impassioned on the stage, and dozens of old people raised their hands enthusiastically.

　　However, many health care products marketing places prohibit young people from entering, on the grounds that "services are only provided to the elderly". The reporter tried to contact several salesmen in the name of buying products, but they were very vigilant and asked for the name of the "introducer" and refused to disclose the venue of the event.

　　[investigation]

　　Some health foods purchased by the elderly are fakes.

　　The photos provided by Ms. Liu show that all kinds of health care products are piled up on the floor of her parents’ home, including 50,000 yuan magnetic therapy mattress and bedspread, 8,000 yuan box of ant Polygonatum, thousands of yuan of sea bird’s nest, formula goat milk powder and anti-radiation oral liquid, bone collagen capsules, etc.

　　The reporter found that some of the "health food" purchased by the elderly did not have the "blue hat sign" approved by china food and drug administration. For example, a salesman’s so-called "blood bird’s nest" bought by the elderly costs 5,000 yuan for two boxes, which not only lacks the logo, but is actually a bird’s nest under the sea, that is, coral grass, which is not a bird’s nest at all.

　　The old man also bought a 15,000 yuan "optical quantum chip" underwear. According to the specification, this chip is made according to Einstein’s quantum physics and imported from Japan. Previously, the media had exposed the so-called "optical quantum chip" scam, saying that it was impossible to find the medical device registration number marked in the manual in china food and drug administration.

　　"Anti-tumor, Longevity" Some advertisements for health products exaggerate their efficacy.

　　China food and drug administration issued circulars in November last year and April this year, saying that several health food advertisements were monitored and all contained unscientific efficacy assertions. And using the patient’s name or image to prove the efficacy, which deceives and misleads consumers and seriously endangers the public’s food and drug safety.

　　The reporter found that some health care products companies printed words such as "anti-tumor", "longevity" and "energy" on their leaflets. However, regarding the "healing" effect of health food, the Food Safety Law clearly stipulates that "the labels and instructions of health food shall not involve the functions of disease prevention and treatment."

　　The China Consumers Association recently released a report saying that for the elderly and patients, the role of false propaganda and health care treatment is exaggerated by conference marketing, and many of them are not health foods, such as edible fungi products promoting tumor suppression and endocrine regulation, and "clearing food" fruit and vegetable juice claiming detoxification, beauty care and weight loss.

　　[Expert statement]

　　Which health care products marketing methods are suspected of being illegal?

　　Is it legal to conduct marketing in the form of lectures and conferences? Yan Bing, a lawyer of Beijing Times Jiuhe Law Firm, pointed out in an interview that this marketing method itself is not illegal, but it does have the phenomenon of "using legal forms to cover up illegal purposes", such as giving lectures by people without medical qualifications, fabricating or exaggerating the diseases of the elderly during free clinics, and publicizing the curative effect of health care products. These are all illegal acts, and even criminal offences in serious cases.

　　According to "Regulations on the Implementation of People’s Republic of China (PRC) Food Safety Law (Revised Draft for Comment)", those who make false, exaggerated or deceptive propaganda and sales of health foods, formula foods for special medical purposes and other foods and food additives by telephone, lectures, meetings, organizing tours, etc., shall be confiscated by the food and drug supervision and administration department of the people’s government at or above the county level, and the organizer shall be fined between 50,000 yuan and 200,000 yuan; If a crime is constituted, criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law.

　　Wang Dahong also told reporters that the essence of marketing such as lectures and conferences is a business model, and this model itself is not right or wrong. He emphasized that "lectures, conferences and other marketing are like a kitchen knife. If it is used to cut vegetables, it is a good deed; If it is used to kill people, it is evil. "

　　Consumer rights protection faces difficulties in obtaining evidence.

　　The Law on the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and Interests stipulates that consumers may demand compensation from operators if their legitimate rights and interests are damaged because they use false advertisements or other false propaganda methods to provide goods or services. But in reality, consumers are facing difficulties in defending their rights, and the difficulty in obtaining evidence is one of the problems.

　　Regarding the damage to consumers’ rights and interests caused by false propaganda, the reporter called the "12315" consumer complaint reporting hotline set up by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce for consultation. The staff said that if only the salesman verbally exaggerated the efficacy of health care products, and there was no problem with the product manual, it would not be accepted. She said that even if consumers have recorded evidence, it will not work, because the industrial and commercial departments "only look at written documents."

　　The reporter then called the "12331" food and drug complaint hotline. The staff said that if there is a complaint, the specific location and name of the merchant should be provided, otherwise it will not be accepted. She suggested that consumers go to regular pharmacies to buy health care products, because many salesmen have no fixed places.

　　Yan Bing said that if the health care products themselves have no quality problems and consumers have no written evidence, there is indeed a problem of safeguarding rights. If consumers think that they have bought health care products with "inflated prices", although legally speaking, they can terminate the contract with the seller, but the seller has the right to set prices independently, so it is difficult to defend their rights in reality. If you bring a lawsuit to the court, you have to bear higher costs.

　　According to the report released by China Consumers Association, as many as 76.03% of consumers are most looking forward to "strengthening government supervision and law enforcement and cracking down on false propaganda". At the same time, they hope that the competent authorities will improve laws and regulations and increase scientific consumption propaganda, and actively respond to the doubts and concerns of consumers.

In the declining trend of the traditional business model of Internet cafes, there are always people who are unwilling to lag behind, and Internet cafe owners have been trying and exploring the hope of business upgrading. The reporter learned from the insiders that the retail scene in Internet cafes is not only reflected in the behavior mode of "selling goods and selling goods", but more importantly, the top-down thinking changes, transforming the single revenue structure of internet fees into a diversified revenue structure of retail+internet fees+value-added services.

Entering Internet cafes is youth, opening Internet cafes is entrepreneurship, and being a businessman is feelings.

After an exclusive interview with Pi Mo (Hua Ming), the product director of Fanshang Cloud Shopping Headquarters, the reporter learned that Fanshang was founded in 2014 and has been focusing on the research and development of the operating system of commercial non-staple food in Internet cafes for years. The company’s senior executives are all industry veterans who have been "soaked" in the Internet cafe industry for at least ten years. From "soaking" Internet cafes in their youth, to joining the industry to open Internet cafes, and then to setting up Fanshang, they just want to serve the industry, transform the industry, and drive the industry progress and enhance the industry level with products.

At present, the company’s technical team has more than 40 people, many of whom are technical backbones from first-tier Internet manufacturers such as JD.COM and Ali. Pi Mo said: "Some colleagues think that the R&D cost we invested is too high and too large, which is not a wise choice. However, we believe that a good product should not only have a stable and reliable system technical architecture, but also have a convenient and easy-to-use product design. At the same time, we should go deep into practical use to explore user scenarios to improve products. This is not something that can be done by building a running team. "

At the same time, Ma Mo believes: "Although we have invested a lot in the early stage, there is never a shortage of good products. From the market share curve of all merchants, our early investment is completely worthwhile. Good products not only help us win the reputation and market, but also the whole product is the core wealth of all businessmen.

Our founder once opened dozens of Internet cafes in three cities, with losses and gains, and bitterness and sweetness. He often said that it is very meaningful to create a product like Fanshang Yunbu in the industry and help Qian Qian to be the same as his original Internet cafe owners. "

All merchants purchase the Internet cafe industry intensively, leading the retail upgrade.

The reporter learned from the visit of the managers of Internet cafes that the well-known Internet cafes in the industry now generally use the comprehensive SaaS solution purchased by Fanshang Cloud. Fanshang Yunbu has optimized SaaS services for the operating pain points of the Internet cafe industry, making the software system solve problems more accurately.

In the design of SaaS service, Fanshang Cloud Purchase broke the traditional mode of online or stand-alone software, and realized the distributed architecture of localized storage and server data collection through technological innovation, which not only solved the requirements of data security and query analysis, but also ensured the high stability and maintainability of SaaS system.

In terms of functional design, Fanshang Yunbu has developed four front desks based on inventory, activities and accounts, namely, the customer ordering terminal, the bar cashier terminal, the employee ordering terminal and the backstage auditing terminal. Through the classic technical mode of "large, medium and small front desk", Internet cafes can solve all the functions of commodity management in one SaaS stop, from the owner of the Internet cafe to the store manager, cashier and network manager, using a set of products in a unified way, and issuing indicators from the owner of the Internet cafe.

The reporter here is also willing to believe that with the deep cooperation and active innovation in various fields in the industry, the Internet cafe industry will eventually usher in a new world, bring more novel consumption scenes and experiences to consumers, and promote the healthy and effective development of the industry.

1905 movie network news On June 23rd, a statement of the company’s October culture was filmed, which made the sci-fi IP that China movies wanted to climb come into people’s eyes again.

This animation company will become the latest film industry, trying to bring Liu Cixin’s novels to the big screen.

　

It has been 10 years since the film and television rights of the series of novels of Three-body were sold.

　

01

"There will be a month," three-body "movie will be released. By this time, even a trailer was not released, and the movie was definitely problematic. " At the Shanghai International Film Festival in 2016, a film reporter commented like this.

It was an extraordinary year for filmmakers. In the past 2015, the box office of movies in China mainland reached an unprecedented 44 billion. Moviegoers were extremely excited, hot money poured in, and the discussion on IP reached the maximum.

　

Shanghai International Film Festival is also very lively. In two weeks, 100 film companies were announced; Five private companies have released films; There are dozens of press conferences waiting for media reports every day. Even Ang Lee, who rarely appeared in the mainland, came to Shanghai to sit with celebrities such as Yu Dong and Xú Zhēng to discuss the future of China’s film industry.

On June 15th, the film festival entered the fifth day, and the media’s interest slowly shifted from the film festival to the "Three-body" which will be released one month later. News began to come out that the post-production of "Three-body" has not yet been completed, and it will be considered to withdraw from the summer.

　

Rumors are getting worse. At that time, it was reported that the quality of "Three-body" was so poor that the materials could not be used at all, and Kong Ergou, CEO of Youzu Film Industry, had left his job and the project stopped. Two days later, on June 17th, director Panpan Zhang and producer Kong Ergou spoke on social media one after another, denying the rumors and saying that they would increase the budget for the later period of the film.

　

The rumors subsided for the time being, but the movie "Three-body" was completely lost. It was not until April 2020 that the annual financial report of Light Media revealed that the new "Three-body" film had entered the early development stage.

　

This wait is another four years.

　

02

Unlike most people who sold their film and television adaptation rights when the market was hot, Liu Cixin sold the adaptation rights of several novels early, including Three-body, which was bought by China Film and Panpan Zhang. It was sold around 2010, and it is said that it only sold less than 100,000 yuan.

　

In 2013, Panpan Zhang used his own company, Beijing Baixingshe Culture Development Co., Ltd., to submit an application for film production and filing, and the screenwriter was Song Chunyu who worked with him.

　

During this period of time, Panpan Zhang has been looking for investors to join. It is said that one of his requirements is to be a director himself, but Panpan Zhang has only been granted the right of adaptation for five years. This also means that if you want to be the director of "Three-body", the project must land in 2015.

　

Finally, it was Kong Ergou’s Youzu film industry that decided to invest. At that time, the Youzu film industry was still a newcomer in the circle. Panpan Zhang wanted to be the director of "Three-body", and Youzu hoped to make the company a leader in the domestic industry through movies. Both sides have their own worries, but they hit it off.

　

In March 2015, the film was officially started, and it was finished in August of the same year. In November, 2015, Youzu Film held a rough-cut film viewing meeting.

　

03

But this has not been a smooth year. After the filming of "Three-body" started, in May 2015, Xiao Fei, the vice president, left his job, only half a year before he joined the Youzu. Then Xiao Fei founded Upward Film. In November, another vice president, Yang Lu, left and founded Yuanli Film.

　

Before Kong Ergou, Han Wei, who founded Xiyi Film, also briefly served as CEO of Youzu Film. An insider once said that one of the reasons why Han Wei left Youzu was that she could not handle the mess left by Three-body Film.

　

During that time, four executives left their jobs within half a year, and two CEOs changed. There were more than 30 people left in the Youzu film industry, which once had more than 120 employees, and the official account was not managed because of the departure of the Xuanfa team.

　

Even though the personnel changes of tourists are so ups and downs, Kong Ergou and Panpan Zhang still insist on making Three-body, after all, it is a big project with an investment of 200 million yuan.

　

Someone once recalled to the media the scene of the film festival in 2015: there were two versions at the film festival, one was edited by Panpan Zhang himself, and the other was edited by Gao Qunshu, because he was also the chief content officer of the tourist film industry at that time.

Panpan Zhang’s version was supported at the film conference organized by Enlight Pictures. Gao Jun, who was deeply involved in the production of "Three-body", once told the media that after watching the film, the director’s dominant position was re-established. At the same time, he also revealed that this version of "Three-body", the participation ratio of Light Film Industry is 15%-20%.

　

04

Before leaving his post, Yang Lu used to be the general planner of the film "Three-body". He once said that many people were not satisfied with the rough cut version, but after all, it was the most original version with no special effects and no good narrative.

　

Director Lu Chuan also appeared at the film conference. When confronted with the media’s verification, he just said, "I just helped my friends make suggestions and participated in several conferences. After all, I have made some visual effects films, and I still have some gain and loss experience in this respect. I will give some basic suggestions from the perspective of creation to avoid detours." Did not disclose who voted for it.

Being supported does not mean that the progress of "Three-body" will continue smoothly. Many subsequent controversies revolved around the later special effects. Yang Lu once revealed that VHQ had been involved as a cooperative special effects company when the film started shooting, and made some digital previews and process control for the film.

　

However, in June 2016, a person familiar with the matter suddenly revealed that VHQ had withdrawn and the special effects company was replaced by four other companies. Panpan Zhang is also considered inexperienced, and his understanding of special effects is still in the basic stage.

But Kong Ergou obviously hopes that the film can appear in front of the audience as soon as possible. In November 2016, he announced that the film would be released within one year. By July 2017, "Three-body" was still in the late stage of special effects in his mouth. But since then, people seem to forget the existence of this film.

　

In 2019, when The Wandering Earth was released, fans suddenly remembered "Three-body" and left messages under Kong Ergou’s social account. After two years, he wrote this passage:

　

"Wandering earth is so wonderful that I don’t know how to describe it in words. After watching it yesterday, I cried and sat in the cinema until the last line of subtitles came out. I deeply feel guilty and ashamed for the recklessness and ignorance of starting the "three-body" project five years ago. Come on, China science fiction! Sooner or later, stand on the top of the world! ! … I am a seventy-two martyr in Huanghuagang. "

The implication is that it seems that this film "Three-body" directed by Panpan Zhang has been abandoned and will not meet the audience again.

　

05

Compared with 2016, today’s China film industry is already a different look. Among them, many films that rushed to establish projects and wanted to earn box office through IP and traffic have been smashed. Chinese blockbusters began to appear, and realistic themes regained the attention of the audience.

　

On the one hand, there is a growing demand for good movies in the market. On the other hand, the industry began to have a stronger ability to promote the film industry to become more and more perfect.

　

When pathfinders explore the ceiling of genre films upwards, they also leave experience and direction for future travelers.

As a result, a new version of the "Three-body" movie will appear. Tian Xiaopeng, the director who filmed The Return of the Great Sage on the Journey to the West, took over this difficult baton.

　

It has a similar corporate background to the old version of "Three-body" movies, and the cooperative companies behind the new version of "Three-body" are still tourists and light. A person familiar with the matter told us that the new version of "Three-body" will be re-established, giving up the old materials and starting from a new starting point.

　

The story of the film "Three-body" is just a way for China’s films to squeeze out water and eliminate bubbles. With the weight of "Three-body" in the hearts of sci-fi fans and the sensation caused by sci-fi genre among fans, this new finished product will still attract much attention in the end.

　

For the narrative of the development of China’s film industry, The Wandering Earth is responsible for what the audience wants to see from scratch. Now, the plot of farmland may fall on "Three-body".

This road may not be easy to walk, but as long as the filmmakers are on this road, the audience will walk with them on this road.

The shoes stolen by Qiu. Photo courtesy of Jianggan police

　　Zhongxin. com, Hangzhou, June 21st (Reporter Zhang Bin correspondent Xu Leiyang and Xu Ting) A man in Hangzhou, Qiu Mou, was envious but shy because he often watched "online celebrity" show new shoes on the online platform. It happened that a male neighbor in the same community often wore new limited joint sports shoes and put them in the shoe cabinet outside the door, so Qiu had an illegal idea … …

The suspect identified the scene. Photo courtesy of Jianggan police

　　On the 21st, the reporter learned from Pengbu Police Station of Jianggan Branch of Hangzhou Public Security Bureau that the police had arrested Qiu Mou, a suspect who stole other people’s brand-name shoes.

　　According to the police, Tian, the victim, is an independent entrepreneur. He usually likes to collect shoes. The shoe cabinet at the door of his house is filled with forty or fifty pairs of limited joint sports shoes, and the price of each pair of shoes is more than 1,000 yuan. But recently, Tian found that the shoes in the shoe cabinet were inexplicably less.

　　Tian said that once he was ready to wear a new pair of shoes, he found that the shoes had traces of being worn. Only after checking did he know that there were 8 pairs of shoes missing from his collection, worth 10,000 yuan, and some of them even became "out of print".

　　Late at night on June 16th, when the suspect went to steal shoes again, he was caught on the spot by Tian and called the police. The police then took the suspect back to the police station for further investigation.

　　According to the suspect Qiu Mou, he usually likes to browse a sports trend online community, and he was very moved when he saw Tian’s feet often wearing joint sports shoes in the community. Just as Tian put his shoes in the shoe cabinet outside the door, he "visited" the shoes every three to five nights to steal them.

　　"The first time I took three pairs, I saw that he didn’t find them, and then I stole three pairs, and then I stole two pairs … …” Zou said that he had sent several photos in the community wearing stolen shoes, and his account had increased by dozens of fans. Seeing the praise and envy of netizens, he felt very satisfied.

　　According to the police, Zou was afraid that stealing too much would reveal the stuffing, and he "returned" a pair of shoes when he started for the third time. On the evening of June 16th, when Qiu came to steal shoes for the fourth time, he planned to "return" a pair of shoes that he was tired of wearing and "exchange" several pairs. At this moment, the door of Tian’s house suddenly opened … …

　　The police found all the stolen sports shoes in Qiu’s residence, and several pairs of limited shoes were washed by him and put in transparent shoe boxes for "permanent collection".

　　At present, Zou has been criminally compulsory by the police for alleged theft. (End)

　　Zhongxin. com launched a series of planning "Ten Scenes of the Spring Festival", trying to outline the great changes in China’s social landscape through the little changes you and I have made in the Spring Festival.

　　Chinanews. com client Beijing, February 14th Title: [Ten Scenes of the Spring Festival] People don’t arrive at the ceremony first: Chinese people go home "lightly"

　　Reporter Qiu Yu

　　When I was in Spring Festival travel rush in the early years, it was a "sweet burden" for many people to catch the train and squeeze the bus with big bags. Nowadays, the popularity of online shopping for new year’s goods allows people to return home "lightly".

　　At the same time, online shopping has also enriched the Chinese people’s new year’s basket. In addition to buying local products from all over the world, high-tech products and cosmetics have also become the new favorites of new year’s goods.

　　Zhongxin. com Qiu Yu

　　Online shopping for new year’s goods, "light" home

　　Online shopping is known as one of the "four new inventions" in China, and many people choose this convenient way when buying new year’s goods.

　　Chen Cheng, who works in Beijing, told Zhongxin.com that most of the new year’s goods he prepared were bought through e-commerce platforms, including tea, mobile phones, scarves and other gifts for his parents, which were delivered directly to his hometown in Fujian.

　　"It’s too far to go home, and I have to transfer to a car after getting off the train. It will be very inconvenient to bring a lot of things, and I am worried that things will be broken on the road, so I simply buy them online and send them home directly." He said.

　　The reporter noted that in order to seize the new year market, JD.COM, Amazon China, Suning.cn and other e-commerce platforms launched the "New Year Festival Special Session" to attract consumers by issuing coupons, spikes, discounts and other activities.

　　Blair comes from a small town in the west of Shandong Province. She has been selling meat products at home for more than 30 years. In the past three years, she began to promote it through WeChat. According to her introduction, the most popular items are donkey meat in gift boxes, most of which are given away by visiting relatives and friends.

　　"Some customers buy meat products and mail them to relatives in Zhejiang, Inner Mongolia, Anhui and other places. Many times, people have not arrived home yet, and gifts arrive first, which saves time quickly." Blair said.

　　In recent years, more and more people buy new year’s goods online. According to the Research Report on Online Shopping for New Year’s Goods by Consumers in East China after 80s and 90s jointly released by iResearch and JD.COM, 64.8% people think that the Internet is also an important channel to buy new year’s goods. Judging from the budget of online shopping for new year’s goods, more than 40% of the people’s budgets are higher than last year, more than half of them are basically the same as last year, and only 0.8% of them have a large budget reduction.

　　Tiannan Haibei local specialty Suiyixuan

　　Online shopping for new year’s goods gives people more choices, and local products are a major variety of new year’s goods.

　　Recently, JD.COM released a set of interesting data, showing "the situation of purchasing special products and new year’s goods in various places".

　　The data shows that Shanghainese love to buy Shanxi mutton offal vermicelli soup, Beijingers like Sichuan Pujiang Huangxin kiwi fruit, Shenzhen people prefer Shaanxi Xianyang crisp pear, Guangzhou people like Nanhu salted duck eggs best, Tianjin people like Dangshan canned yellow peach, Chongqing people like Tianzhen yellow millet, and Hangzhou people like Guilin flower cake.

　　Wuhan people prefer Honghu lotus root, Nanjing people like to buy Wuyi sweet orange pomelo, Suzhou people like Meishan ugly orange, Xi ‘an people like Xinyang hollow noodles, Shenyang people like Yibin smoked bacon, Qingdao people prefer Lipu taro, Zhengzhou people like Sichuan ugly orange, Dalian people like to drink 52-degree LU ZHOU LAO JIAO CO.,LTD, and Ningbo people like to buy Xichuan kumquat.

　　This also reflects to some extent that compared with local supermarkets, there are more kinds of food sold online, and you can buy specialties from all over the world.

　　High-tech products and cosmetics become "new favorites"

　　Online shopping for new year’s goods is not limited to traditional goods such as food, clothing, tobacco and alcohol, but has new tricks.

　　Zhang Yanbin works in Beijing. Not long ago, he bought a smart toilet lid, several ceiling lamps and table lamps through an e-commerce platform and installed them in his parents’ homes in Kunming, Yunnan.

　　"Parents don’t lack anything to eat and drink now. Instead, they are smart toilet seats, water purifiers, dishwashers and other things that improve the quality of life. I will buy them." He said.

　　High-tech products frequently rank among the hot-selling lists of Tmall New Year Festival. According to Tmall data, on the first day of the Chinese New Year Festival, nearly 10,000 sweeping robots were sold in Cobos in one hour, the turnover of dishwashers increased by more than five times year-on-year, and nearly 30,000 AI (artificial intelligence) speakers were sold.

　　JD.COM data also shows that from January 20th to 28th, the sales of smart toilet seats in JD.COM New Year Festival increased by 185% month-on-month, and the sales of AR/VR devices (virtual reality/augmented reality devices) and drones increased by 215% and 119% month-on-month, respectively.

　　In addition, by comparing the data of the New Year Festival in JD.COM in the past three years, it is found that beauty personal care is one of the more prominent growth categories, especially this year, the sales of beauty personal care increased by more than 900% year-on-year.

　　"The buying habits of the New Year Festival have changed from the demand for eating and drinking to the demand for lifestyle. Consumers need to buy some daily necessities and beauty products during the New Year to upgrade their family environment and personal image to welcome the New Year." JD.COM analysis said.

　　Express new year’s goods, Spring Festival "no fighting"

　　Some people buy new year’s goods online late, worrying that the express delivery will be stopped and the goods will not be received before the year. The reporter learned that, unlike previous years when only SF Express and China Post adhered to the Spring Festival, this year’s major brand express delivery enterprises all joined the ranks of "no closing time for the Spring Festival", but "no closing time" does not mean "full delivery".

　　Wu Lin is doing overseas cosmetics purchasing business in Qingdao, Shandong Province. According to her introduction, before the Spring Festival, Zhongtong and Yuantong outlets near the community stopped collecting pieces, and they could only choose direct express delivery companies such as SF Express, which had higher postage.

　　According to a "ZTO Express: Notice of Shutdown" provided by Wu Lin, all provinces in China shut down one after another before February 10th, and the western provinces such as Xinjiang and Tibet shut down earlier, while Beijing and Shanghai were later.

　　"It is quite common for franchise express delivery companies to stop soliciting packages during the Spring Festival. However, the express delivery service is a basic public service, and it is not particularly reasonable to stop during the Spring Festival. " Shao Zhonglin, former deputy secretary-general of China Express Association, pointed out in an interview that the State Post Bureau called for "all-year-round" and the express delivery company also made a commitment. This is the direction and obligation.

　　SF previously announced in official website that during the Spring Festival, additional service fees will be charged for the mails that flow to major cities and some key cities, and 10 yuan will be charged for each parcel under 50 kg, 50 yuan will be charged for those over 50 kg, and other cities will not be charged.

　　In this regard, Shao Zhonglin said that express delivery is a service-oriented industry and is priced by the market. It is in line with market rules for express delivery companies to make appropriate adjustments to service fees during the Spring Festival.
