Cosmetics sold 207.1 billion yuan in the first half of the year, and the beauty track ushered in a big outbreak.

In the first half of the year, cosmetics sold 207.1 billion yuan.

Since the beginning of this year, the cosmetics market has shown great vitality and potential.

On July 17th, the National Bureau of Statistics released data showing that in the first half of 2023, the total retail sales of social consumer goods was 22,758.8 billion yuan, up 8.2% year-on-year, of which the retail sales of cosmetics products was 207.1 billion yuan, up 8.6% year-on-year.

Among them, domestic cosmetics are not only popular in China, but also popular in overseas markets. According to the customs export data, the export of cosmetics rose steadily in the first five months of this year, the export volume and amount of beauty cosmetics and toiletries maintained a certain increase, and the demand of foreign consumers for domestic cosmetics has been greatly improved.

In addition to the growth of the overall market, the performance released by some beauty listed companies has also increased, turning losses into profits.

Recently, the beauty leader Polaiya Cosmetics Co., Ltd. released the semi-annual performance forecast for 2023. It is estimated that the net profit of returning home in the first half of this year will be 460 million yuan to 490 million yuan, which will increase by 163 million yuan to 193 million yuan compared with the same period of last year, increasing by 55% to 65% year-on-year. It is worth mentioning that in the first quarter of this year, the growth rate of revenue and net profit of Polaiya was close to 30% year-on-year.

Shanghai jahwa United Co., Ltd. predicts a net profit of 285 million yuan to 315 million yuan in the first half of the year, an increase of 81% to 100%. According to the company, in the first half of 2023, through the recovery growth of domestic business, the company digested the pressure of overseas business and achieved good business results.

Market participants said that according to the current growth trend, the cosmetics market will once again break through the 400 billion mark at the end of the year. All kinds of situations show that the beauty industry is recovering strongly, and China’s cosmetics market has shown strong market resilience and growth space.

2. Say goodbye to the cold winter and the beauty market will pick up.

Last year, it was considered by many people in the industry to be the coldest year in the cosmetics industry. According to the retail data of social consumer goods in 2022 released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the total retail sales of cosmetics in 2022 was 393.6 billion yuan, down 4.5% year-on-year. This is the first time that the total retail sales of cosmetics has experienced negative growth in the past decade.

Compared with last year’s overall negative growth, this year’s cosmetics retail data can still maintain a growth trend for six consecutive months, indicating that the beauty industry’s prosperity is constantly picking up and the market is continuing to pick up. So what is the reason for the strong recovery of the beauty market?

The macro environment, macroeconomic stability and improvement are quite key factors. With the social and economic recovery, the desire for beauty consumption is rising, which drives the growth of retail sales. Similarly, the company’s performance increase is inseparable from the recovery of offline channels and the continuous empowerment of online channels. The market is picking up, and the promotion of e-commerce activities has contributed. In the first half of this year, the March 8th Women’s Day was promoted and the 618 event was held, and major brands seized consumer demand, which obviously led to the outbreak of the beauty market. The data shows that from 33 billion yuan of cosmetics sales in May to 45.1 billion yuan in June, an increase of over 36.6% month-on-month, which is a huge increase. It is not difficult to see the positive promotion of 618.

With the development of the industry, the competition of beauty track is becoming more and more fierce, and the rising of domestic beauty brands is the obvious trend of current market development.

At present, China has become the second largest cosmetic consumption market in the world. With the huge consumption prospect in China, the beauty market in China has attracted many overseas beauty brands. In the past, compared with overseas brands, China’s cosmetics industry had a thin foundation, a late start and a low reputation. In the same stage competition, domestic beauty brands performed slightly worse. Now the situation has changed.

According to industry insiders, at present, national cosmetics brands are rising strongly to seize market share. This year’s Tmall Fast-moving 618 full-cycle turnover brand list shows that Polaiya has squeezed out OLAY, a brand owned by Procter & Gamble, to become the fourth.

Domestic beauty brands have also gone abroad, attracting a large number of overseas consumers. With the upsurge of traditional culture in China sweeping the world, Chinese makeup has brought fire to domestic beauty products. With culture and oriental aesthetics as the carrier, domestic beauty products such as porch-window box, concentric lock lipstick and snuff bottle liquid foundation have gone global and been sought after by overseas consumers. The packaging of products like Hua Xizi has been integrated into the traditional culture of China, creating a unique brand positioning and successfully gaining the attention of overseas consumers.

3. The beauty track ushered in the second half

The growing beauty market has attracted a lot of players, and the industry competition is intensifying. Under the trend of more mature consumers, weaker traffic dividends and improved industry supervision, the pattern of beauty industry will be reshuffled. In the fierce competition situation, market opportunities and challenges coexist. How should beauty brands be laid out?

The beauty industry accelerates the survival of the fittest. When the tide gradually recedes, deep R&D strength is indispensable for enterprises. Increasing product research and development and patent investment, enhancing product competitiveness with science and technology, and strengthening the cultivation of "internal strength" can help enterprises go further and longer in the industry. Empowering by science and technology can ensure the stability of product safety and efficacy, and brands with strong R&D strength are expected to occupy a larger market share.

Under the background of declining online traffic dividend and continuous price involution, the overall environment of the beauty industry has recovered, and offline channels have gradually stabilized. It is a way for the company to turn its attention to offline channels to increase revenue and profit. Beauty brands will build offline channels, continuously deliver products, and realize better realization by undertaking the traffic overflow after online investment.

E-commerce needs to find offline growth points, and it is the general trend to create a diversified channel layout under the beauty line. Some brands that once focused on online began to vigorously lay out offline channels. Polaiya, whose online channel accounted for over 90% of its main business income last year, said recently that this year will be the first year of its offline restart, and it will focus on the daily chemical channel and the department store channel. Freda Bio, which owns many effective skin care brands, such as Dr. Yael and Yilian, recently announced that it will fully launch offline this year, and proposed to build an offline market scale with a total return of 350 million yuan in the first year, covering the goal of 200 million offline consumers.

Nowadays, the beauty market is constantly subdivided, and market participants say that enriching the product matrix and making efforts in the mid-to high-end market may become the way for enterprises to break the ice. In China cosmetics market, the middle and high-end market is mainly occupied by foreign brands. In recent years, with the improvement of China’s cosmetics brand building ability and R&D strength, consumers have a strong desire to support domestic products, and some brands have begun to enter the high-end market, including Mao Geping and Polaiya, from which we can see the potential and possibility of local enterprises to develop high-end beauty cosmetics.

Generally speaking, the current domestic beauty consumption fever continues to rise, and the growth of retail sales has boosted industry confidence. In the next stage, with the economic recovery and consumption recovery, the cosmetics market is still promising. However, in the process of gradually restoring confidence in the cosmetics consumer market, enterprises with technology and strength can truly remain invincible in the market.

Game Weekly: ByteDance officially announced the divestiture of game business; Collapse: Star Dome Railway is Google Play’s best game of the year.

21st century business herald reporter Cai Shuyue reports from Shanghai.

In the last month of 2023, dramatic events in the game industry continued this week.

The most concerned dynamic is ByteDance’s announcement of a big retreat from the game industry. On November 27th, ByteDance officially announced that its game business will shrink in a large scale, and all the projects that have not been launched will be shut down except a few innovative projects and related technical projects.

This week, the news that Blizzard may return to the national service also attracted the attention of the industry. On the afternoon of November 30th, Tencent’s Rubik’s Cube Studio was suspected to broadcast live the related content of Activision Blizzard’s World of Warcraft in bilibili. A person familiar with the matter told the media that Blizzard was currently negotiating with many game makers including Netease and Tencent about the return of the national costume, but Tencent officials later denied the rumor.

In terms of industry, this week, SensorTower announced the top 10 downloads of global popular mobile games in October. The top 10 downloads of global popular mobile games in that month were Real Car Driving: Race City 3D, Roblox, Garena Free Fire, Subway Surfers and so on. In addition, the best list of Google Play 2023 was officially announced this week. Miha Tour "Collapse: Star Railway" won the best game in 2023 and the best story award of the year.

SensorTower announced the TOP10 downloads of global popular mobile games in October.

According to the latest data released by Sensor Tower, in October 2023, the top 10 most popular mobile games in the world were Real Car Driving: Race City 3D, Roblox, Garena Free Fire, Subway Surfers and so on. Among them, Real Car Driving: Race City 3D topped the list with more than 19 million downloads, of which India contributed 26.4%. In addition, Roblox ranked second with nearly 18 million downloads, of which Brazil contributed 12.8%.

Google Play announced the best list in 2023, and the best game of the year was Collapse: Star Dome Railway.

In addition, Google also highlighted the best applications, games and books in various categories. At the same time, in order to reflect the mainstream trend, this list also introduced new award categories, including the best AI application of the year.

ByteDance officially announced the divestiture of game business

On November 27th, ByteDance officially announced that its game business will shrink in a large scale. For games that have been launched and performed well, they will seek divestiture under the condition of ensuring operation; For projects that have not yet been launched, except for a few innovative projects and related technical projects, they will all be shut down.

On November 26th, someone familiar with the matter broke the news on the Internet platform, saying that there would be a round of layoffs in ByteDance’s game business, and "the person in charge of each project under study was notified on Sunday that the project was dissolved, and a formal notice was issued on Monday". In addition, among the online game projects, even Crystal Nucleus and Planet: Restart, which have good data, only give the project team three months to talk about suitable buyers.

In this regard, the relevant person in charge told the 21st century business herald reporter that there will indeed be business direction and organizational adjustment, and more attention will be paid to the exploration of some innovative games and related technologies. But at the same time, it will also do a good job in the continuous operation of the products that have been launched, and fully protect the rights and interests of players.

Nancai comments:As one of the Internet giants, in addition to direct capital investment, Byte’s development of game business is more critical based on its own traffic investment in short video and other fields. Although the outside world can’t accurately estimate the actual value of this investment, the decision to divest the game business also shows that it is not cost-effective after internal accounting. Even if we talk about content ecology and empowerment, the distance between the Internet and games is actually no closer than that to new energy vehicles.

Yuan Jing, CEO of Mu Tong, responded to the rumors of sale: the company continues to operate independently and the national service is advancing normally.

On the evening of November 27th, in response to the recent news that Byte Group adjusted its game business and Mu Tong was sold, Yuan Jing, CEO of Mu Tong, publicly responded internally, saying that Mu Tong would continue to operate independently and would deeply cultivate the game industry for a long time. After the release of the internal response, he also said in a circle of friends, "I shouldn’t have said anything at this time, but I sincerely want to say that after such a long time, I like to be strict and like my friends."

Blizzard is negotiating with Tencent and Netease about the return of national clothes? Tencent’s response: The rumor is inaccurate.

On the afternoon of November 30th, Tencent’s Rubik’s Cube Studio was suspected to broadcast live the related content of Activision Blizzard’s World of Warcraft in bilibili. This move triggered a discussion in the market. A person familiar with the matter told the media that Blizzard has been negotiating the return of the national service with many game manufacturers including Netease and Tencent, but the specific partners and return time have not yet been determined. In this regard, tencent games responded to the 21st century business herald reporter, clarifying that the live broadcast was only a test, and it has now ended. Another person close to Tencent said that Rubik’s Cube is a self-developed studio under Tencent and will not represent external products. The rumors are inaccurate.

Nancai comments:After Microsoft officially acquired Activision Blizzard, some people think that although Blizzard has never found a home in China, after the acquisition is completed, Microsoft will ask Activision Blizzard to return to the China game market, and it is not impossible to resume cooperation with Netease or seek other partners.

On December 15th, the first phase of "Yuan Meng Xing" was planned to invest 1.4 billion yuan for the game ecological construction.

How did China’s beauty make-up rise by punching "Korean Wave" and kicking "Japanese"?

Girls who love beauty have no time to miss the passing trend of Korean makeup, and begin to rush to a new era of domestic beauty cosmetics with joy.

The "Edie House", which was once the enlightenment of thousands of girls’ beauty, closed all offline stores in China this month.

Just as people are no longer keen on Korean dramas such as You from the Stars and Successors, and instead indulge in China’s temperament heroine in Siteng, Korean makeup has long since lost its beauty. Nowadays, people will only find it complicated to see the iconic word eyebrow and pink lips of Korean makeup. "White skin with curved eyebrows and big red lips" is the most beautiful makeup popular on major social media platforms.

"I can’t look straight at the makeup that I imitated the Korean drama heroine in high school now. Xiao He is an intern in a domestic beauty brand. She has to put on makeup every day before going to work, and now she is more inclined to choose a less pink and more elegant Chinese makeup.

Behind the closure of Yidi House, the aesthetic taste of young girls has also undergone tremendous changes | Weibo

This change seems to be natural. When the Korean wave recedes and domestic beauty cosmetics gradually encroach on the market of Korean makeup, the aesthetic taste of girls has also changed. Almost no one feels sorry or regrets about the loneliness of Korean makeup. Girls who love beauty have no time to miss the passing trend of Korean makeup, and they have begun to rush to a new era of domestic beauty cosmetics with joy.

After the golden age, Korean cosmetics quietly faded out of people’s sight.

As early as ten years ago, Korean makeup brands such as Yidi House, Yueshi Fengyin, Dream Makeup, etc. all occupied a place in the dressing table of girls.

With the help of the Korean Wave, Korean makeup brands were once popular in China. People called Gianna Jun’s scarlet in You from the Stars "Star Your Color", and the Korean makeup lipstick used by the hostess at that time was quickly out of stock. Korean dramas such as "It turns out to be a beautiful man" and "Heirs" have also brought fire to many Korean cosmetics brands. 3CE, Lan Zhi and Dream Cosmetics have all opened up the China market under the east wind of Korean dramas. Even the domestic brands at that time always promoted their products by rubbing Korean makeup style, such as "Han Shu", "Han Hou" and "Han Xizhen" all chose brand names with Korean colors.

Korean dramas such as "You from the Stars" have brought a lot of Korean makeup brands | Douban movies

Almost every girl has bought popular products of Korean makeup. Yidi House has become the first choice for many girls to get in touch with beauty for the first time because of its cheap price and easy-to-use cost performance advantages, and has even been praised as "the first makeup brand of K-Beauty".

During the summer vacation after the senior high school entrance examination, Xiao He bought the first lipstick in her life in the Yidi House store in the shopping mall. Although she can’t remember the specific product and color number, she still remembers looking at her pink lips in the mirror. "There is a wonderful feeling, as if she will meet Prince Charming like the heroine of Korean drama the next second. 」

However, the use of Korean makeup does not guarantee that girls will meet Prince Charming, and the glory of the past does not guarantee that Korean makeup will last forever.

In fact, as early as last year, Edie House gradually withdrew from the China market, and the development of its parent company, Amore Pacific Construction Group, in recent years was not satisfactory. According to Amore Pacific’s 2020 financial report, Amore Pacific’s operating income fell by 21.5% to 4.9 trillion won (about 28.2 billion yuan), and its operating profit fell by 69.8% to 150.7 billion won (about 870 million yuan).

Besides Yidi House, other well-known Korean cosmetics brands, such as Yueshi Fengyin, Espoir, Estelan Aestura, Amos Professional, also experienced a decline in their business income.

With the entry of European, American and Japanese cosmetics brands into China, and the strong development of domestic cosmetics in recent years, the competition in the cosmetics market in China is becoming increasingly fierce. For Korean make-up, fast fashion and high cost performance are two sharp tools for its development, but now domestic beauty products such as Perfect Diary and Hua Xizi also have the same characteristics, and Korean make-up has long lost its advantages. Coupled with the proliferation of counterfeit goods and lack of long-term operation in Korean makeup itself, the golden age of Korean makeup has ended.

In 2011, when Korean makeup was in full swing, the market share of local beauty brands in China was only 4.4%, but now domestic beauty brands have taken over the baton from Korean makeup audiences, opening another era.

According to the Insight Report on Domestic Beauty released by Tencent, in 2019, domestic beauty brands accounted for 56% of the market share, and 42% of consumers were more willing to choose domestic beauty brands, and 90% of consumers said they would buy domestic beauty brands again in the future. From 2014 to 2018, the growth rates of local brands in content marketing, brand influence and advertising exposure were 88%, 59% and 46% respectively.

Every generation has its own brand. As the Z generation, which has been exposed to the Internet since childhood, is becoming the main consumer, the time for domestic brands to grow is ripe. These young consumers, who have witnessed the rapid economic development and gradually enhanced national strength, have cultural self-confidence and cultural identity far ahead of their predecessors, so they are increasingly favored by domestic brands with traditional aesthetic and cultural implications in China.

In this context, domestic beauty products such as Perfect Diary and Hua Xizi began to stand out and become a new force of domestic products. Taking the "Chinese style" route and "bonus flow" has become an important reason for the popularity of domestic beauty cosmetics.

Perfect Diary’s Tmall flagship store and JD.COM flagship store both use the color of "Give Li Hong" with China characteristics, and Hua Xizi, who takes the high-end Chinese style route, carries out China characteristics in products to the end. Hua Xizi’s concentric lock lipstick focuses on the concept of "oriental love ceremony", and the embossed makeup plate applies the traditional paintings of "a hundred years of phoenix" to makeup. A series of products such as "Miao impression", "flowers bloom on strangers" and "Luo Shenfu" are widely praised by young consumers with the main colors such as indigo and pink.

In addition to focusing on products with local characteristics in China, from Little Red Book to e-commerce live broadcast, domestic beauty cosmetics are seizing the market with the help of social media’s "traffic bonus".

Due to the lack of strong financial support, it is difficult for most domestic beauty brands to have their own counters or offline stores, but this does not prevent major domestic beauty brands from being sought after by consumers on many social media platforms.

As early as 2017, Perfect Diary began to try the marketing route of fan economy. At first, the perfect diary featured "Stars with the Same Style". By inviting Jelly Lin, Nana Ou-yang and other stars to promote it, consumers were attracted to buy it with "Stars with the Same Style" as a selling point. Later, various kols were used to build fans’ trust and improve traffic conversion rate. After investing far more than 2.5 million yuan in marketing expenses, Perfect Diary realized the marketing transformation with high ROI.

Domestic beauty brands that started with social media are by no means perfect diaries. WIS won its first batch of traffic from Weibo. HomeFacialPro initially entered the consumer’s field of vision through the push of major WeChat WeChat official account, and half an acre of flower fields started from Tik Tok … More and more domestic brands are seizing the opportunity to flood into the beauty market.

Social media not only provided traffic blessing for domestic beauty cosmetics, but also expanded the influence of domestic beauty cosmetics, which set off a new round of aesthetic trend.

Culture and aesthetics have an extremely important influence on women’s consumption and daily behavior.

Once upon a time, female consumers were attracted by the exquisite and perfect makeup of the heroine in Korean dramas, and they were eager to use Korean makeup products to satisfy their pursuit of exquisite beauty. However, with the change of aesthetics, the pink lip makeup in Korean makeup has become the "dead Barbie powder" that many people can’t stand, and the once fashionable makeup techniques may become the "ineffective makeup" in people’s eyes.

Gradually, the pursuit of perfection and exquisiteness of K-Beauty is too much for Korean girls themselves. In the "Take off the Corset" campaign in 2018, many women tried to get rid of the shackles of makeup by smashing cosmetics and declared war on the ubiquitous male gaze.

Nowadays, with the growing influence of domestic beauty cosmetics, Chinese makeup featuring neatness, maturity and handsomeness just caters to the needs and aesthetics of female personality liberation.

Korean makeup is mainly orange and pink, and with the label of "cutting men" such as "teaching you to capture men’s hearts", it reveals the meaning of pleasing men. Chinese makeup is very tense, so you can boldly create beauty, choose makeup foundation, bright eye shadow and bright lipstick to give the whole face an atmosphere and stretch beauty.

Chinese makeup is coming out of the circle.

According to a Japanese online questionnaire survey, 28% of female high school students have heard of "China Makeup". They think that "China makeup" is a new trend, which has not only been dismantled and introduced in Japanese beauty magazines, but also set off a craze to imitate China women’s makeup on YouTube.

The first Japanese beauty blogger to imitate China’s makeup was Lu Shijian. After watching the movie Fanghua, she became very interested in Chinese makeup. With China makeup as the theme, she released a beauty video on YouTube, and then the video got a super hit rate.

"The makeup is white, the beauty is clear, and the lip makeup is mostly red." This is a typical Chinese aesthetic. Regardless of ancient times or contemporary times, China people have a consistent aesthetic preference for black hair, snow-white skin and reddish lips. But can people’s pursuit of domestic beauty be consistent?

"Many times, I will care about the value orientation conveyed behind a brand, but the flaws in the product will still disappoint me. Friends around me often say this.

Indeed, when the cost performance of products is similar, consumers usually choose brands that are consistent with their own values. More and more young consumers will also have the emotional consideration of "supporting domestic beauty" when choosing domestic products, but this is not a long-term solution.

Domestic beauty brands that are not stingy in marketing expenses are not satisfactory in product research and development. In 2019, the R&D expenses of the domestic brand Polaiya were 74.6026 million yuan, while the corresponding sales expenses were as high as 1.23 billion yuan.

What followed was that some consumers questioned the quality of domestic beauty products.

After large-scale marketing, the quality and reputation of domestic beauty cosmetics are not satisfactory. In the comment area of a certain explosive powder in Hua Xizi, there are many negative comments such as "not as good as in the video" and "the packaging is beautiful, but the product is difficult to use". The animal eye shadow tray of Perfect Diary is very popular on platforms such as Xiaohongshu and Tik Tok, but in the comment area, you can still see questions about the product, such as "The powder quality has been declining since the koi fish tray" and "Some colors of this eye shadow are not easy to smudge".

While the animal eye shadow of the perfect diary is very popular, there are also many doubts | vision china

Although the explosion of Chinese makeup has attracted more attention from domestic beauty cosmetics, if we carefully recall the rise of Korean beauty cosmetics, it is not difficult to find that today’s domestic beauty cosmetics, like the original Korean makeup, are quickly ignited by exquisite packaging and the delivery of idols. Today, when domestic beauty cosmetics are just right, we will inevitably reflect: "Will domestic beauty cosmetics one day become a thing of the past like Korean makeup?" ","China’s beauty cosmetics, which became popular briefly in East Asia, can compete with western brands in the future? 」

At present, the gap between domestic beauty cosmetics and western big brands is concentrated in research and development capabilities and brand influence. International brands will focus on the basic raw materials of products and the basic structure of human skin, and this focus will make the product experience better, and its reputation and evaluation will naturally last forever.

For domestic brands to lead the "beauty of China", it is definitely not enough to rely solely on exquisite packaging and marketing on social platforms. Perhaps only by fundamentally improving the quality of products and shaping and expressing China’s aesthetics from the core of products can we not repeat the mistakes of Korean makeup and avoid the fate of "a flash in the pan".

Please don’t be shy when you need us.

It’s the same in life, not that others don’t want to help you,

You’re the one who kept them from knowing their plight.

Badminton rules are many and must be observed.

There are rules for sending and receiving, but the service court and sideline of singles and doubles are different.

Wear badminton shoes when entering the arena …

Respect the rules, at least not make mistakes,

Only we can adapt to the rules, and it is impossible to adapt the rules to you.

When you serve illegally and are pointed out by your golfer, be sure to thank him.

In the arena, players who don’t follow the rules are not welcome.

No, pot calling the kettle black.

Amateurs. Don’t pretend to be a professional bitch.

When an opponent makes an improper mistake,

Even if you don’t want to give him an encouraging look,

Please don’t smile scornfully,

In the arena, that expression hurt the golfers very much.

If you lose, you lose, so don’t make excuses!

Don’t take any objective reasons to find reasons for your loss. It’s very low.

The wind will tilt your ball and your opponent’s ball.

The lights are dazzling, and the opponent is not wearing sunglasses.

The venue is not suitable and the opponent is not at home.

This is also a kind of recognition of your own mind.

Growth is to make yourself better, and maturity is to accept those shortcomings.

The highest state in the face of misunderstanding is not to defend, but not to explain.

In the game, was misjudged? Forget it quickly and look at the next round.

Just kidding, we don’t have an eagle eye,

Tell him that the ball from the other side is out of bounds!

It is better to ask others to be practical and meaningful than to ask yourself to come.

Being a good partner in the eyes of a golfer is more important than finding a good partner.

This also applies to all couples, lovers and singles in the world.

Behave the rules and make clear the size of Fiona Fang is the premise.

It is more square to know clearly where the sideline of the court is.

Don’t be silly to catch the ball out of bounds or the ball that hasn’t been served out of bounds.

I remember when I first played ball, I didn’t have this concept.

I feel that the stadium is so big and the pace is not in place.

Buy some buckets of good balls, open your own new ball, and play with the ball.

In the same way, you can’t always lick others when eating, and you have to pay for it several times!

How many local tyrants are willing to keep you playing with the ball!

Strength determines everything. Don’t take luck for granted.

Luck is very important, and a lucky ball may be the key point.

But I can’t help you win the whole game,

Don’t be complacent because of the lucky ball, and you will be dissatisfied in every way after losing in the end.

Brother, winning or losing is really determined by strength, and all the players can see it.

Let’s get off the court after playing the ball. No one can dominate the court forever.

Never be a bully, no matter how much red bull you drink.

And don’t communicate with your golfers on the court. The golfers off the court are embarrassed to remind you …

It’s hard to squeeze time, and the venue is so tight. Put yourself in another’s shoes!

There are so many people in China that we have to do everything like this.

Focusing on playing ball is a completely different experience.

From the beginning of sending and receiving, concentrate, talk less and laugh less,

If you don’t play casually, you will play better.

Find out the priority of things, sometimes playing ball is not the most important thing!

No matter how much you love it, playing ball is just an entertainment project.

Fight or not, whoever loses wins, tomorrow will be the same.

Sometimes it may be more important to spend time with your daughter and your wife.

Because badminton is addictive, our golfers should arrange their time reasonably.

Of course, it is best to take your lover and children with you to the goal hall.

Jankovic angrily left! Jia Desong wronged? The truth is revealed! Super League celebrity 1 words Taishan heartbreak.

Shandong Taishan has just changed coaches, and Tianjin Jinmen Tiger has also maintained a good competitive state. It was originally a high-profile Super League focus battle, but the referee’s blowing penalty completely changed the taste of the whole game, especially the control of the referee in stoppage time, which directly changed the taste of the game.

Jia Desong, the main central defender of Shandong Taishan, and Fabio, the assistant coach, were both sent off with red cards! Beric was also beaten with a broken nose and was taken directly to the hospital.

In the last round of stoppage time, Shandong Taishan got a corner kick. In order to grasp the last chance, almost all the players in Shandong Taishan concentrated in the restricted area, and Tianjin Jinmen Tiger also made a strong defensive posture, especially for several high points of Taishan team, and strictly guard against sticking to the ground!

Beric single-handedly defended Jia Desong, who tried to push Beric away in order to have space to compete for the landing place. But at this time, Beric grabbed Jia Desong’s jersey and stuck himself on Jia Desong’s body, so that he could not take off easily. Just when Jia Desong wanted to get rid of Beric abruptly, Beric directly kicked Jia Desong in the upper leg and ignited Jia Desong’s anger!

After the corner kick came out, the two men scrambled for the landing spot at the same time. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Jia Desong raised his hand and directly hit Beric’s face. While Beric fell to the ground in pain, the referee Liu Wei also blew the whistle of the whole game. Under the dissuasion of Fernando, Jia Desong quickly went to the lounge.

At this time, the var referee reminded Liu Wei, the referee, that Jia Desong’s action could directly give a red card. Although Liu Wei went to the player channel, let Jia Desong come back quickly. Players, coaches and Tianjin Jinmen Tiger in Taishan, Shandong, all surrounded the referee and expressed their inner anger. Assistant coach Fabio stood in front of Liu Wei, and even tried to fight for the red card in Liu Wei’s hand, which was directly shown by Liu Wei. Jia Desong, who then returned to the court, did not escape the fate of the red card. Liang Xu, who is a famous Chinese Super League, said frankly:Jia Desong’s action will be punished at least three to five times, or even more than five times!

This assertion is very difficult for the fans of Hot Mount Tai to accept. First of all, the reason why Jia Desong made such a radical move was entirely because the other side ignored the rules too much and the action was beyond the scope of football. Secondly, as the core of the defense line, Jia Desong is irreplaceable. Jia Desong’s personal ability is still the strongest in the Taishan team’s defense. He keeps an eye on the arrows on the opponent’s front line, which is often reassuring. But once banned for many games, who can shoulder this burden in the future?

The last scene was a farce. You know, this game attracted a lot of media attention, especially the national football coach jankovic. And after witnessing all this, I don’t know how jankovic will feel.

Throughout the game, the two teams played very well, but the referee’s control of the scene was very unsatisfactory. In addition, many blowing penalties are also ambiguous. Both the home team Tianjin Jinmen Tiger and the visiting team Shandong Taishan have suffered a lot of grievances, which explains why the anger between the two sides has been so great.

Jankovic, who had been in the stands, was in a good mood, but the more he got to the back of the game, the more serious his expression became, until after the farce, jankovic shook his head and got up and left directly. Obviously, jankovic is very dissatisfied with the present scene! Everything behind the scenes is obviously caused by the referee.

About the referee of the Super League, his professional level and ability have been controversial. There have been many controversial penalties in this round of leagues alone. For example, in the match between Shenzhen team and Nantong Zhiyun, at the last moment of the game, Shenzhen launched a quick counterattack, and Archimpen was directly knocked down by Nantong Zhiyun’s goalkeeper Shi Xiaodong. Instead of punishing Shi Xiaodong for a foul, the referee thought that Archimpen had collided with the goalkeeper. Guan Zhen, the coach of Shenzhen goalkeeper, was directly sent off by the referee for protesting the referee’s blowing penalty. After the game, head coach Chen Tao was still indignant!

Another example is the match between the three towns in Wuhan and Chengdu Rongcheng. Stanciu broke into the restricted area and was tripped by the defending palacios. Because the referee was close to the incident, he did not give a penalty at the first time. Then, after being reminded by var and replayed for a long time, palacios was considered to have fouled and gave a penalty to three towns in Wuhan. But judging from the slow motion, there must be contact between the two people, but palacios’s action will not directly put Stanciu down. It can only be said that Stanciu’s experience at this time is still very rich. However, after the game, most fans did not recognize this penalty and once attacked the referee.

Finally, in the Beijing-Shanghai War, Shanghai Shenhua faced Beijing Guoan at home. The Football Association attached great importance to this game and sent Ma Ning, the best referee at present. However, Ma Ning’s several controversial blows directly annoyed Wu Jingui. After the game, Ma Ning actually left the stadium under the escort of many security personnel. This scene looks very sad.

When we talked about football in China, our first impression was that it was no good and the skills were very poor. Yes, the backwardness of football in China is related to the players’ own skills, their ability to understand the game, and the bad football environment in China. But have you ever thought that in our top leagues, referees are also a part of China football? If our referee level is poor, how can we ensure the team to play in a fair environment, and how can we make the players’ hard work pay off?

Therefore, the relevant departments should not always stare at the players and teams to rectify, but also check these referees carefully, and the relevant departments of the Football Association should also conduct strict assessment on these referees from time to time. If the professional ability is not good, it is necessary to formulate stricter punishment measures!

CBA News 3: Shanghai signed the teaching assistant of the national team, Cummings was rejected, and Si Nan averaged five hats per game.

Patriotic basket, love CBA, I am Sister Luo, and friends remember to like it after reading it!

In this offseason, the Shanghai team must take the lead in solving the problem of team coaches. After Li Chunjiang was banned, the Shanghai team was in a state of being leaderless. During the two seasons when Li Chunjiang led the team to play, he actually found the development direction and ideas for the Shanghai team. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is not suitable for the Shanghai team to find a head coach who doesn’t know the team at all, which is equivalent to establishing a new system from scratch. Next season, the performance of the Shanghai team may drop sharply, which is definitely meaningless. As far as the current situation is concerned, the head coach that the Shanghai team needs is a coach who knows the team and knows Li Chunjiang’s guiding intention, and the team now has such a person.

It is reported that the Shanghai team has planned to sign their former assistant coach Liu Peng, who is an assistant coach of the national team. Liu Peng’s coaching ability is really good. In recent seasons, he has been able to coach in the national team every time, and Du Feng has trusted him. The most important point is that Liu Peng has been studying with Li Chunjiang. He is very clear about the players that the Shanghai team is focusing on training now, and Liu Peng has a resume of overseas study. He is very worthy of being reused by the Shanghai team, but at present, Liu Peng is only the temporary acting head coach in the Shanghai team, and the team depends on his later performance. The Shanghai team has invested a lot of money in recent seasons, and they will almost start to pursue achievements next season.

Sister Luo thinks that Liu Peng is a coach who is more suitable for the Shanghai team. He has always served as an assistant coach in the team, and Liu Peng is a coach who is very willing to think. However, when he was the head coach of the Shanghai team, the team’s performance was not ideal, so Liu Peng was forced to leave class. Now he is not the same as he was then. Liu Peng has also made progress and promotion. The Shanghai team can fully trust his ability. In a word, Liu Peng’s coaching ability is not bad, otherwise he would not be able to enter the national team. Now there are many coaches that China men’s basketball team can choose, and he can be elected as the assistant coach of the national team, which at least proves that Liu Peng’s coaching ability has been recognized.

Liu Peng, Acting Head Coach of Shanghai Team, gave guidance.

The second news is about Cummings, a small foreign aid of Guangsha team. Recently, a well-known basketball reporter broke the news that Cummings has followed Guangsha team to Dongguan to prepare for the life-and-death battle with Guangdong team. However, fans are not too happy to hear this news. Many people think that Guangsha team should give up Cummings because his physical confrontation ability is really poor. In the face of Guangdong team’s tough defense, Cummings’ role is completely inferior to Wells’.

It’s hard to imagine that a foreign aid will be rejected by the fans, and the fans of Guangsha team really don’t want to see Cummings play. In the case of reusing Wells in the second game, Guangsha team won the final victory. Maybe it’s a good idea to abandon Cummings, but director Wang Bo still trusts him. This season, he prefers to use Cummings as a foreign aid, and Wells didn’t have so many chances to play before.

Sister Luo thinks that the fans of Guangsha team don’t have to worry. Even if Cummings follows the team to Dongguan, he may not be able to play. Now the list of 12 people in Guangsha team is redundant. Cummings can enter the big list first to see the situation. If Wells’ effect is not very good, then Cummings can play and give it a try. Comparatively speaking, Cummings’ three-point shooting percentage will be higher than Wells’, and his speed will be faster than Wells’s.

Guangsha team’s small foreign aid Will Cummings

The third news is about China insider who is playing in the United States. He is one of the most promising young insider players in China at present. He is only 16 years old this year, and his height has reached 2.12 meters. His wingspan data is 2.30 meters, which is definitely a top insider talent. When playing in American high schools this season, he can send out five blocked shots per game, which is quite scary.

In fact, from the perspective of static talent, there is a certain gap between Chisinan and Zhou Qi. qi zhou’s wingspan data has reached 2.36 meters, but Chisinan’s advantage is that he went to the United States to play earlier. Recently, Chisinan won the offer from the University of Alabama, a well-known NCAA team. The University of Alabama defeated the China men’s basketball team once in the European warm-up match. From this point, it can be seen that,

Sister Luo thinks that as long as they are truly talented players in China, they should sign up for the Cai Chongxin Foundation for Studying Abroad. Qi Sinan went to play in the United States through the sponsorship of Mr. Cai Chongxin. He not only had the opportunity to attack the NBA, but more importantly, Qi Sinan could only participate in the CBA draft after returning to China in the future. He could not directly sign contracts with other CBA teams. This is a very critical issue. In the future, more outstanding players will become the top draft players in the CBA draft.

Chisnan was invited by the University of Alabama.

At present, the value of the top pick in the draft of CBA league is far from enough. Like last year’s draft, there should have been many other young players. Fans all think that Wang Quanze will definitely be the top pick. However, no one expected that Wang Quanze had already signed a contract with the Guangzhou team.

However, if Chisnan can’t play in the NBA league in the future, he will definitely be an explosive top pick when he returns home. Which fishing team can get Chisnan, they have a good chance to rise. At least from the current situation, Chisnan has a strong dominance on the defensive end, and he is likely to be an inside player of qi zhou level in the future.

Fan Zhendong case repeats itself! Stalking fan suspected of bribing the staff of the Macau Tournament and harassing Sun Yingsha’s privacy.

Recently, Sun Yingsha and Fan Zhendong’s main players are taking part in the championship in Macau. This time, they both advanced to the semi-finals, especially the women’s singles won the championship and runner-up in advance, and the China team achieved good results. It was during this competition that Sun Yingsha, the main player of Guoping, was harassed again, and this time the harassment was even more excessive than the previous flash, which was suspected of repeating the original tragedy of Fan Zhendong.

According to media reports, during the recent match between Sun Yingsha and chopper Han Ying, the director of a live program actually pointed a camera at Sun Yingsha’s backpack, and also rummaged Sun Yingsha’s things inside, and showed the picture to Sun Yingsha’s stalking fan through the camera. Under such circumstances, the director’s behavior undoubtedly caused a lot of questions. Afterwards, stalking fan posted on the social platform that they paid the director of the Macau Games to make him a mole. When the game was broadcast live, he touched Sun Yingsha’s backpack to see what privacy was in the backpack to satisfy the fantasies of these fans.

This behavior has caused serious harassment for Sun Yingsha. I still remember that some time ago, Fan Zhendong called the police because the fans broke into his room. At present, Sun Yingsha is definitely not lighter than Fan Zhendong. No matter for Sun Yingsha or ordinary people, their personal belongings are not allowed to be moved by anyone. The key is that it is even more excessive for the pilot to broadcast live through live cameras.

Next, for the coaching staff, in order to avoid the recurrence of Fan Zhendong’s tragedy, we should deal with this staff member in time. On the other hand, the most important thing is to improve the security of the whole Macau Championship and consider how to protect the rights and interests of these players. In this way, these main players can compete with more peace of mind and win glory for their country. Otherwise, like before Fan Zhendong, he was frequently harassed by these extreme fans. How can he wholeheartedly play the game and help the national team win the championship and honor? This should be a good job for the coaching staff, including logistics personnel.

Next, for Fan Zhendong and Sun Yingsha, I hope they will not be affected by these storms. On the other hand, I hope Malone and Wang Chu Qin will cheer them up, eliminate Zhang Benzhi and these opponents, and win the championship earlier.

The two founders of Meituan joined hands again.

ChatGPT’s wind blew, and the US group Wang Xing was tempted.

Yesterday afternoon, Wang Xing, the founder of Meituan, announced in a high-profile circle of friends that the AI ? ? model made him "both excited and worried". In the future, he will personally participate in the A round investment of Wang Huiwen’s startup company "light years away" and serve as a director.

The original text of this circle of friends is: "The AI ? ? big model makes me both excited about the huge productivity that will be created soon and worried about its future impact on the whole world. Lao Wang and I have been on the road to entrepreneurship for nearly 20 years.Since he is determined to embrace this big wave, I must support it. "

Just last month, Wang Huiwen, another core founder of Meituan, published articles on social platforms continuously, announcing that he would start a business in AI, with the goal of creating "China version of OpenAI". Recently, ChatGPT, which is very popular in the technology circle, is the product launched by OpenAI.

His concrete measure is to contribute 50 million dollars., valued at $200 million, set up Beijing Lightyear Technology Co., Ltd.. However, its own funds only account for 25% of the shares. In his AI Heroes List, he wrote that another 75% of the shares are used to invite top R&D talents.

If these shares have not been issued by the time the company goes public, a non-profit fund will be set up to "invest in projects with unclear development path, slim realization hope and unclear commercial value".

As soon as this move came out, the four sides moved.

Some researchers questioned its capital and technology, and some people yearned for it, but never expected that the first big fish caught in this project was actually an old partner Wang Xing.

At this point, we look back,Recently, the investment and entrepreneurship of AI, Big Model, ChatGPT and other related tracks have entered the stage of racing against time.

Not only Wang Xing and Wang Huiwen’s "Double Kings" combination, but also Ali, JD.COM, Baidu and Tik Tok are actively participating in the competition.

After Wang Huiwen took out $50 million in real money, Wang Xiaochuan, a former Sogou CEO, also posted on social media that he was about to enter the "China’s OpenAI" battlefield.

On February 26th,Zhou Bowen, the former head of JD.COM technology, announced the recruitment of partners to build a China version of ChatGPT.

In the last two days, Yan Li, the core figure of AI technology research and development in Aauto Quicker, has also started a big AI model business as a new company founded after leaving Aauto Quicker.

Mu Li, a great technical god, and Alex Smola, his former mentor, started their business together, and the track they chose was also a big model-related project.

Coupled with this high-profile announcement by Wang Xing,At present, the domestic AI model entrepreneurial track has been crowded with big names, including many serial entrepreneurs and technical gods.

As the "best co-production venture combination" recognized in the Internet industry, the re-joining of Wang Xing and Wang Huiwen has brought a beautiful imagination to the industry.

On December 18, 2020, Meituan issued an internal letter, and Wang Huiwen, the co-founder and senior vice president of Meituan, officially retired as planned.

On the occasion of Wang Huiwen’s retirement, Wang Xing wrote a letter for him, briefly summarizing his ten-year entrepreneurial achievements.

"Joined the US Mission in 2010 to help the company stand out from the Thousand Regiments War; Three years later, we will build a US group take-out from 0 to 1, and then go deep into the upstream and downstream of the catering industry chain to build local service business scenarios such as store, home and travel; One year before leaving office, Lao Wang was still promoting the building of platform capabilities such as user platform, basic research and development, big data and Al. "

Wang Huiwen

It can be seen that Wang Huiwen plays a cornerstone role in today’s Meituan Empire. However, before the establishment of the US Mission, Wang Xing and Wang Huiwen had already cooperated many times.

In 1997, 18-year-old Wang Xing walked to Tsinghua University from Longyan No.1 Middle School in Fujian. At that time, the first classmate he knew was his roommate Wang Huiwen.

Since 2003, they decided to start a joint venture. It is said that Wang Xing interrupted his doctoral studies in the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering of the University of Delaware, and Wang Huiwen also dropped out of the Institute of Acoustics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In a year, Wang Xing tried 10 entrepreneurial projects until.In 2005, the real-name registration system social networking platform "Intranet", which was jointly founded by them, went online, and finally made a name in the industry.

This social platform, similar to Facebook, quickly took off in China. However, due to the broken capital chain and lack of entrepreneurial experience, Wang Xing’s team sold the campus network to Thousand Oaks Group for $2 million in less than one year.

Three years later, in 2009, Thousand Oaks Group renamed its famous campus network Renren. By 2011, when Renren was listed in the United States, its market value reached 7.482 billion US dollars, surpassing Sohu, Youku, Netease, Ctrip and Sina, becoming the third company with internet market value in China.

In this story, although the "two kings" group left early, their keen judgment and industry judgment on the Internet still surprised everyone.

After the campus network project, Wang Xing and Wang Huiwen went to toss up the projects such as Fanbu, hainei and Taofang, but none of them improved much.

In 2010, the two men got together again and jointly founded Meituan., and then completed the expansion of thousands of regiments, takeaway wars, big retail and big travel.

In a short sentence, how many wars are raging? After several wars and standing out from the crowd, Wang Xing and Wang Huiwen combined to gain a firm foothold, and more people began to call them "industry bosses". As we all know, the super entrepreneurial strength displayed by the two of them together is an important factor that makes everyone look askance.

Thousand regiments war

It is worth noting that after Wang Huiwen retired, he never stopped to invest in the technology industry.

Specifically, in April last year, Wang Huiwen’s signature on Instant was still "All in Crypto". After half a year, his interest shifted from Crypto and web3 to artificial intelligence, and he wanted to build the China version of OpenAI.

By the way, he also invested in LI and met Wang Xing in the investment field. In the last round of financing before the ideal IPO, Wang Huiwen’s name appeared on the ideal investment list together with Wang Xing.

Not only does Wang Huiwen continue to explore in the science and technology circle, but Wang Xing has gradually become an investment tycoon in the field of hard technology.

According to incomplete statistics, in addition to his ideals, Wang Xing’s personal investment projects also include mutual assistance, convenience, e-driving, Qingping Technology, Maibu Technology, flight steward, Tiger Securities and so on.

Wind data shows that there are 121 affiliated enterprises of Wang Xing and 39 foreign-invested enterprises, of which 34 are surviving. The enterprises they invest in are mainly engaged in scientific research and technical services, information transmission, software and information technology services, and leasing and business services.

It can be seen that the exploration of the two people joining hands to enter the AI industry is not as simple as a "supporting friends". In fact, there are both sides’ continued emphasis on the technology industry and their recognition of entrepreneurial ideas.

In the open letter of Wang Huiwen’s retirement, Wang Xing wrote that "Lao Wang and I are classmates and roommates with common interests, partners who work together to start a business, comrades who fight side by side, and lifelong friends who can collide with each other and talk with each other".

Different from the rhetoric in Wang Huiwen’s hero list, when the two really entered the AI industry, of course, all the spectators were most concerned about:What are you going to do and what kind of business model are you going to establish?

From the current mainstream point of view, the AI ? ? big model and ChatGPT entrepreneurship actually require high R&D investment. In fact, the only team in China that is most suitable for competition and has a greater possibility of success is BAT, an Internet giant with a cloud computing platform and a large number of users and related data.

Some insiders have calculated the relevant costs. "ChatGPT hardware needs 30,000 top-level GPUs, plus CPU, memory, hard disk, network and data center power supply and buildings, which is close to 10 billion yuan.Training takes several months at a time, and besides the huge cost of materials and electricity, there is also the cost of software development. "

In the past few years, both Ali and Tencent have invested no less than $50-10 billion in OpenAI. However, from the landing effect, the results are not obvious.

The same is true for Wang Xing and Wang Huiwen.They face as many difficulties as Ali.

At present, the advantages of the two men in the process of starting a business are rich entrepreneurial experience, keen market insight, talking about ideals, talking about feelings and grabbing talents. Wang Xing and Wang Huiwen are very powerful.

Earlier news showed that recently, Liu Jiang, vice president of Beijing Zhiyuan Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, wrote in a circle of friends that he had decided to join Wang Huiwen’s "light years away", and he also called other "AI heroes" to join the team.

It shows the appeal of the two of them, but in addition to the above competitive factors, the specific landing scenarios, related business models and profit models of the AI ? ? big model are still being explored.

Is it ToB, facing the business side, using ChatGPT and big model as an interface to improve the efficiency of production and service, or ToC, putting the AI big model technology to the ground and making a more reliable and intelligent chat robot?

Just like several keywords mentioned by Wang Huiwen in the continuation of the hero list, "unclear, vague and unclear" indirectly summarizes the mentality of both surprise and anxiety about related technologies in the industry.

Wang Xing and Wang Huiwen took a group photo.

What we can make clear is that in the process of AI entrepreneurship, in addition to technical belief, it is necessary to have sufficient capital and the support of related industries, and it is actually very difficult to simply explore technology without landing scenes.

Wang Xing and Wang Huiwen stood up and supported the industrial development with actual funds. They played more of the role of "investors". This move deserves more people’s follow. After all, no matter how difficult the technical research is, someone must promote it.

Betting on AI entrepreneurship is a new journey for these two Internet giants, and the whole Internet industry is waiting for the day when the truth comes out.
