The history of game AI evolution, the only thing that can stop AlphaGo may be Werewolf

  "Stimulate the battlefield below the golden level, 80 AI in one game", this is a topic that cannot be avoided recently about mobile PUBG.

  Regardless of whether the chicken-eating mobile game is really ***ting cold, after all, it is not uncommon for such a hundred-person online mobile game to use robots to make up numbers to speed up the matching rhythm. But why, almost everyone who has played the exciting battlefield will invariably question – "These are all robots, right?" The answer is obvious, the robots used to make up numbers are really ******.

  Without collecting equipment, without looking for cover, with poor marksmanship, and slow response… In a game where everyone has a lot of tricks, these special players are like couriers delivering equipment, which is very abrupt. Even if it is to take care of the gaming experience of novice players, but in high-end games, they will also encounter such "silly and sweet", which makes people wonder: Can’t these AIs be smarter?

  Today, we will discuss the past, present, and future of AI players in the history of gaming.

  Evolution history of game AI

  Since the birth of video games, there has been a shadow of game AI, whether it is the earliest oscilloscope tennis or tic-tac-toe, especially in the past when multiplayer online games were still trapped in the difficulty of popularizing network technology. AI in stand-alone games has become the most reliable companion for players and the absolute overlord of the game world at that time.

  In a sense, the prototype of video game AI may have already appeared in the classic arcade game "Pac-Man". At that time, the AI in the game was beginning to rise around the world, and "Pac-Man" at that time made a great attempt in this regard. There are a total of 4 different colors of monsters in the game, and each monster has a different pursuit algorithm, and all monsters have a unified goal of encircling and chasing. Therefore, in the game at that time, those monsters did not line up to chase the player, but "chased and intercepted" the player from different paths and methods, and there may be different choices at each intersection. This mechanism has made Pac-Man a significant attempt for modern video game AI, and has also made Pac-Man a classic in the hearts of gamers.

  Since then, more classic games have begun to revolve around opposing AI characters, such as Super Mario Brothers, The Legend of Zelda, Prince of Persia, and Mega Man 2. In these popular games, AI has become the key to ensuring the game experience and controlling the difficulty of the game. At that time, the core of the game was actually the confrontation between the player and the AI, but in different ways.

  At that time, the ultimate purpose of AI was to let players defeat and then gain a sense of achievement. However, AI at that time was still in the "pseudo-intelligence" stage, and the actions of the relevant virtual characters in the game were based on a series of scripts set in advance based on the conditional judgment language.

  However, as game types and gameplay have evolved, the roles and functions of AI have also changed. A typical example of this is 1987’s Metal Gear, in which AI first appeared in the game as a player’s equivalent, was given the role of patrol, and for the first time added the hostile reaction mechanism to the player. This mechanism gradually formed the enemy alarm mode of the core NPC in the Metal Gear series. The appearance of this AI mode also further expanded the mission and role scope of AI in the game.

  With the rapid development of hardware, algorithms, and computing power in the video game industry over the past 30 years, the pace of evolution of AI in games has gradually widened compared to that of human players. Especially at that time, most game mechanics were testing the player’s reaction and operation. In these aspects, AI has quickly destroyed humans. First-person shooter games are a good example.

  Starting with Counter Strike in 1999 and then Road to Survival, Valve laid the foundation for AI in FPS games, but in the early years, robots in CS have always been one of the places where players complain. At that time, robots were responsible for filling vacancies in the game. They had no other role than being cannon fodder and meat shields, because they basically acted according to easy-to-master rules, and most non-novice players could easily kill them.

  However, it is not difficult for those familiar with FPS games to find that in recent years, the AI in many FPS games has become more and more "brutal", and the difficulty level has also increased. In many cases, the highest difficulty AI combat power has far exceeded that of most players. In a recent online elite game of "CS: GO", there was an amazing scene – a robot named BOT Connor single-handedly killed the members of the opposing team.

  Today, AI is beginning to surpass humans in all aspects of different games, and even the various chess games that humans are proud of have long been beaten by IBM, Google and other tech giants. Not long ago, Go was completely lost without accident.

  Humans are responsible for inventing games, while AI is responsible for conquering games and players, which seems to be an irreversible trend. But in fact, there is always a battlefield in the field of games, where AI cannot completely defeat humans.

  Real-time strategy, humanity’s last "high ground"?

  After AlphaGo’s 3-0 victory over Ke Jie in May last year, many people lamented that humanity had become a complete catch-up on the road of "Game". However, AlphaGo did not think so, because it has another goal – "StarCraft".

  As early as 2016, after AlphaGo defeated Lee Sedol, Deepmind announced that it would challenge StarCraft players with AI in the future. But a year later, when AlphaGo was already alone in the Go world, AI was still "crushed" by top human players in the game of StarCraft. Google’s DeepMind practiced for a year and couldn’t even beat simple NPCs. In a game at the end of 2017, CherryPi from Facebook AI Research Institute was also swept by South Korean former professional player Song Bingju 0:4.

  The momentum of AI’s destruction in other fields seemed to stop abruptly in the face of StarCraft, all because of the characteristic mechanism of games like StarCraft, the fog of war.

  "StarCraft" is a game like Go, but the addition of the "Fog of War" mechanism has become a gap that AI cannot cross.

  In the game of Go, both sides could see each other’s current situation at any time, which meant that the player had no hidden information, and all the information in the past was clear at a glance. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one’s enemy depended on the player’s thorough understanding and imagination of the rules of the game.

  In real-time strategy games such as StarCraft, the fog of war makes it impossible for both sides to know all the information in the game. In this case, based on the limited information collected to make judgments and decisions about the dynamic situation, when to do what, many times need to rely on inference and guesswork. This is the "incomplete information game" that makes AI headaches, and games like Warcraft, Dota, etc. belong to this category.

  There is a common phenomenon between top AI and humans in such games – winning the battle and losing the war. If you analyze the gap between AI and humans, intuitively, it mainly lies in the "big picture" and "rhythm" aspects.

  As Geek Park mentioned in the previous article "Win Go first, then win the tower, and how can artificial intelligence catch up with humans in the game?", in this type of game, the change of strength is more dynamic, no one is absolutely strong and weak, the real winner may be at a certain point in time to seize the weakness of the other party, and the judgment of this point in time is a complex decision made through investigation and empirical judgment. Both sides of the game can change the direction of the battlefield by inducing and feigning attacks. Even if they are weak, they can achieve the transformation of the situation through some psychological games.

  When to attack, when to retreat, where to attack, divide and outflank, sneak attack and harassment, feint and lure… In the incomplete information, it is difficult for the AI to tease out absolutely valid logic to support the decision, so it is difficult to make key judgments at the right time.

  Therefore, in the past, many real-time strategy games could only improve their AI level by increasing their AI resource income, building speed, and fully opening the map. Under the same restrictions as human players, it was difficult to simply rely on operations to win the entire game.

  Where is the future of gaming AI?

  Perhaps AI will soon be able to defeat humans in the field of real-time strategy games, but that is not the future of gaming AI.

  With the investment and guidance of tech giants such as Google, Facebook, and IBM in this regard, it is not surprising that AI is likely to defeat humans in real-time strategy games in the future. For humans, it is more important to make better use of the development of AI to provide players with a better gaming experience. Just like when AlphaGo defeated Ke Jie, AlphaGo did not destroy the 3,000-year-old game, but opened the door to a new world of Go for humans through its own advantages.

  Regarding the exploration of the future of game AI, the famous game masterpiece "GTA5" is a perfect case. This open game with high realism and complexity has huge randomness, providing players with an unprecedented gaming experience. What’s more interesting is that this game has also become an experimental field for many autonomous driving AI. Intel Labs, Darmstadt University of Technology in Germany and Princeton University have all chosen to use the "GTA5" game to train artificial intelligence for autonomous driving.

  You know, smarter AI in the game can do far more than just defeat opponents, more importantly, according to the development of the plot and player characteristics, to provide a more perfect game experience, which can be dynamically increased difficulty, of course, can also be reduced, everything is to make the game more interesting to play.

  There is no need to worry too much about whether AI will eventually defeat humans, after all, we still have Werewolves. If one day AI can really read words, read expressions, and tone, and then deceive all humans to win, that will be the end of AI…

Jia Ling’s "Li Huanying" takes the fire to travel to Xiangyang to promote the development of cultural tourism

This Spring Festival, Hi, Mom has become a popular film in the Spring Festival schedule. While making a high box office, the film also brought fire to the location of Xiangyang, Hubei Province.

After the release of Hi, Mom, a large number of tourists poured into Hubei Weidong Holding Group Co., Ltd., the main location. The company, formerly known as the State-owned Weidong Machinery Factory, mainly engaged in the production and manufacture of chemical raw materials and chemical products, still retains some features of the State-owned factory in the last century. Staff canteens, barbershops, basketball courts, grocery stores, big signs and other places in the factory are crowded with tourists waiting to take pictures.

Dongfang Chemical Factory is the place where Jia Ling lived with her parents and sister, and the old house of Jia Ling’s family is still preserved. "In the movie, the gate of Shengli Chemical Plant, the ball game and other shots were all taken in our factory. The popularity of the film also made our factory a fire. " The relevant person in charge of the factory said. According to the data of Xiangyang Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism, from February 11 to 17, Xiangyang received a total of 837,600 tourists and realized a tourism income of 154.04 million yuan. According to the data of Tik Tok, the topic # Hello, Li Huanying Shooting Place, Xiangyang New Punch Point # has been played 48.18 million times. Under the charm of film and television dramas, the lit destination of cultural tourism is far more than one in Xiangyang, Hubei.

Those "online celebrity attractions" that have been ignited by film and television works.

Through combing, it is found that during holidays, the appearance rate of "online celebrity attractions" which became popular due to the explosion of film and television dramas is comparable to that of famous tourist attractions. Last summer, the suspense drama "The Hidden Corner" spread all over the network. Besides the actors in the play, Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province, which was shot and set, also became a new scenic spot in online celebrity. Within a week of the drama’s popularity, Zhanjiang’s tourism fever rose by 261% week-on-week.

The place where Zhu Chaoyang swims with his father in the play (called "Chikan Swimming Shed" by locals) has attracted more than 2,000 visitors every day. The Benlisto convenience store in front of Zhu Chaoyang’s house, the corner where Pupu recognized Zhang Dongsheng, the Xinhua Bookstore where three children often went, and the breakfast shop where the old police officer took Yan Liang to eat were all located in the famous Chikan Old Street in Zhanjiang, and netizens also marked them as "holy places".

The Longest Day In Chang’an is also worth mentioning. During the broadcast, "Xi ‘an fever" was promoted. From the delicious food in Xi ‘an, to the ancient buildings in Xi ‘an, and then to the local government’s initiative to promote the theme of "See Chang ‘an at twelve o’clock and visit the ancient capital of Xi ‘an", the ancient capital of Xi ‘an was very popular at that time. According to the data of a travel platform, the search volume of air tickets rose to 200% in just one week in Xi ‘an.

On the occasion of the broadcast of the court drama Story of Yanxi Palace, the presentation of "Yanxi Palace" in the drama directly ignited the "unpopular tourist route of the Forbidden City" in that year. According to the media reports at that time, "many foreign tourists who travel to the Forbidden City will also specifically tell the tour guide’ Be sure to go to Yanxi Palace’."

After the broadcast of The Untamed, it led to the "Eleventh Guizhou Punch Card Fever" of that year. A barren hill in Duyun, Guizhou Province, attracted a large number of fans to punch in because the characters Lan Zhan and Wei Ying walked by. The barren hill, which had no one to come, abruptly made a way out.

The film’s ability to carry goods should not be underestimated. Since Han Han’s movie "See You Later" was broadcast in the summer of 2014, Dongji Island, located in Dongji Town, Putuo District, Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province, has caught fire, and the number of tourists visiting here on holidays has increased by nearly 10 times. For this reason, the shenjiamen Banshengdong Wharf, which is the only way to Dongji Island, has increased the ferry service, and even a ticket is hard to find. According to official data, in 2015, the number of visitors to the East Pole exceeded 200,000, an increase of over 50% compared with 2013.

The film "The Richest Man in Xihong City" quickly set off a tourism boom in Xiamen and Penglai. Many people will be curious about Shen Teng’s "Bao Xia" Castle Hotel in the film. In fact, its real name is Wencheng Castle, which is located in Penglai, Shandong Province. It was built by Li Wencheng, a master architect, and his team after 10 years and spent 600 million yuan, covering an area of more than 5,000 square meters. Since the release of The Richest Man in Xihong City, the search popularity of keyword products such as Xiamen, Penglai and Penglai Wencheng Castle on a tourism platform has increased by 31%, 162% and 210% respectively. In terms of the predetermined number of people, Xiamen attracts more young couples (couples), of which the post-80 s and post-90 s accounted for 37% and 41% respectively; Penglai Wencheng Castle attracts mainly parent-child families, and its "Deluxe Sea View Triple Room" is the best selling, and "Castle Tour" has become the most popular parent-child travel mode that summer vacation. Some tourism platforms have also taken the opportunity to launch a family-friendly tour package. Visitors can not only stay in and visit the splendid castle, but also visit a large-scale organic grape plantation in the castle and get two bottles of local red wine. It is worth mentioning that the hotel room price is not as luxurious as in the movie, and it only takes a few hundred yuan to completely reproduce the "hundreds of millions of scenery" in the movie.

Film and television works bring huge traffic.

According to the Global Tourism Destination Analysis Report, 24.5% of China tourists said that they would be tempted by a certain destination after watching the film and television works, so that they would like to experience the scenery in the camera and experience the same route of the stars. Film and television IP has brought huge traffic to tourist attractions, making previously unknown scenic spots "red" and driving the local tourism economy. Take Wuzhen as an example. A local film "Time Like Water" made Wuzhen famous, but Wuzhen was not satisfied with the temporary scenery-from a sightseeing town to a holiday town to a cultural town. On the road of differentiation, Wuzhen launched cultural IP such as Wuzhen Drama Festival and Muxin Art Museum with culture as its personality, giving birth to more diverse and colorful forms.

Also with the help of the promotion of film and television, the Zhujiayu Scenic Area in Jinan, which is known as the "famous village of Chinese history and culture", can tap its own cultural value. Many people learned about Zhujiayu through the hit drama "Going to the East". Since the Ming Dynasty, Zhujiayu has gone through more than 600 years of ups and downs, and still completely preserved the original architectural pattern. With an area of 7,000 mu, there are nearly 200 ancient buildings, 99 stone bridges, 66 Jing Quan and more than 100 natural landscapes … With its own cultural value and film and television popularity, Zhujiayu Scenic Area has built a new era spirit education base and a new era spirit exhibition hall. Five scenic spots in Zhujiayu Old Street were restored, eight traditional workshops were restored, and 21 damaged houses in Zhujiayu Old Street were restored. In the next step, Zhujiayu will become an ancient village in Qilu’s original ecological mountain area with important influence in China, which integrates four functions: nostalgic experience, film and television shooting, painting and calligraphy sketching, and cultural research. Today, Zhujiayu Village is known as "the first ancient village in Qilu, the first specimen in Jiangbei" and a 4A-level scenic spot.

In 2010, a movie "If You Are the One 2" caught fire in Yalong Bay in Sanya. Until today, tourists’ evaluation of Yalong Bay has been high. Among them, Bohou Village in Sanya, located in the southwest of Yalong Bay National Tourist Area, is particularly worth mentioning. Before Bohou village, the land had been immersed in seawater all the year round, and it had been salinized. In 2017, Sanya municipal government repositioned the village and began to build beautiful countryside. At present, Bohou Village has developed 25 travel rentals and inns, which can provide nearly 500 rooms, 2 farmhouses and 1 supermarket. Since beautiful countryside was built in 2017, the annual per capita income of villagers has reached 19,000 yuan, of which the annual per capita income of villagers has reached 30,000 yuan after the renovation of Xinpo District in beautiful countryside.

Avoid the explosion effect "short-lived glory"

The radiation effect of film and television travel should not be underestimated, but many scenic spots are prone to "booing" and "IP". The industry believes that cultural IP hot topics alone are not enough, and the supporting facilities and services of tourist destinations need to be continuously improved in order to create high-quality IP attractions.

Taking Xi ‘an as an example, after the upsurge of Xi ‘an tourism in The Longest Day In Chang’an, Xi ‘an Culture and Tourism Bureau took the IP of film and television works as an opportunity to hold city tourism promotion activities and launch related cultural and tourism products. In recent years, because some scenes in the Japanese animated film Spirited Away written and directed by Miyazaki Hayao are similar to Hongyadong, a popular scenic spot in Chongqing, many people once thought that Hongyadong was one of the "locations" of the animated film, making Hongyadong, which is a popular tourist destination, more sought after.

It’s also very important to make new ideas in publicity and promotion. In the film My People My Homeland unit story "A UFO falls from the sky", the location of "Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST)", "Bridge of the sky", astronomical town, alien home inn, etc., let the audience remember the beautiful scenery of traditional villages in Gelai and many other places. With the flow of film and television works, the local media center has launched a series of reports on "My hometown and my hometown, the story of Guizhou", aiming to project the film into reality and attract more tourists.

For cultural travel destinations, the favor of film and television is only a lucky "lottery ticket" after all. Whether you can cash huge bonuses from it, besides luck, it is more important to have more sincere operation and layout.

Xiaomi Auto is released soon! The latest full-body exposure, within 300,000 plus laser radar, will sell 100,000 vehicles next year.

Since Xiaomi announced the construction of the car, this unreleased "first electric car for young people" has been successfully circled.

However, many rice noodles were somewhat disappointed with Lei Jun’s annual speech last week. It was less than half a year before "the production car will be launched in 2024". Lei Jun only mentioned "Xiaomi car" twice at the press conference, and the progress and details of building a car were not announced.

It seems that Lei Jun is not in a hurry. What about the last venture that he promised to put his life honor and family property on?

Fortunately, the latest news has given everyone a reassurance. Recently, a blogger claimed to have photographed four test cars of Xiaomi cars on the Urumqi-Changji Expressway in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and said that "the posture is really good". At the same time, he also added some details of Xiaomi car: equipped with yellow calipers and sharp interior center console edge.

As for how to see that it is Xiaomi Automobile, the blogger said, "Taillights, headlights, wheels and camouflage are all consistent with what Beijing broke at that time."

Coincidentally, at the same time, Lei Jun, chairman of Xiaomi Group, also posted a message in Weibo: "Test Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 Leica Optics, Four-shot and Five-focal Section" and took a group photo. At this time, his IP attribution showed that he was located in Xinjiang. And after the banner held in the group photo is enlarged, it is "fighting for Xiaomi car".

On the other hand, Lu Weibing, the partner and president of Xiaomi Group, also sent a Weibo: "Two shadows are formed", with a picture of two shadows.

Combining multiple sources seems to imply that Lei Jun and other senior executives came to the scene to "supervise" Xiaomi’s test results.

What’s more exaggerated is that the energy consumption performance of Xiaomi Automobile has been concealed. The former Geely Automobile Research Institute Hu Zhengnan published a document in Weibo to disclose the power consumption of Xiaomi Automobile, which can actually achieve good results of "8.8 kWh per 100 kilometers". …

This is quite amazing. The new car may break through everyone’s imagination again like the Xiaomi mobile phone of that year.

Judging from the content released by Hu Zhengnan, due to being spoofed by the engineer, a tram with a remaining battery life of 152 kilometers was thrown at 8 pm, and he was asked to take three strong men back to the destination 85 kilometers away, with an ambient temperature of 37 degrees.

However, he successfully drove the tram to his destination, and the remaining mileage showed that there were still 90 kilometers, and the energy consumption per 100 kilometers was only 8.8 kWh.

Hu Zhengnan revealed in the comments that the whole road is a mixed road condition of high-speed national highways and rural roads. In this process, Xiaomi Automobile has experienced several downhill energy recovery, but in the end, the energy consumption of the vehicle can still be regarded as an upper-class level.

Regarding Hu Zhengnan’s identity, he was the president of Geely Research Institute. In September 2021, he announced on social media that he had joined Leijun’s Shunwei Capital, focusing on the ecological field of smart car technology. Previously, this personnel change was regarded by the outside world as Xiaomi’s car. Welcome to the first car circle.

Combined with its geographical location-Xinjiang, Hu Zhengnan’s news about Xiaomi Automobile is very credible.

The exposure of this data has also triggered a heated discussion among netizens. A medium and large-sized car, such as Tucki P7 and Tesla Model S, has an excellent energy consumption of less than 15kWh per 100km with a single motor version, so the performance of this millet car at 8.8kWh can definitely be regarded as excellent.

In this regard, there is also a digital blogger @ Alex on Earth who analyzed the data, indicating that the four people can still maintain the score of 8.8 kWh per 100 kilometers in a 50-kilometer journey under a 37-degree environment, plus the graph shows that most of the time they are in an acceleration/rapid acceleration state, and some kinetic energy is recovered in the last 10 kilometers, which means that the power consumption performance of Xiaomi Automobile is "a little scary".

In addition to the energy consumption, we have a clearer understanding of the design of Xiaomi car.

Although the new car is still in a state of high camouflage, it is certain that it will be a coupe with a sliding back design, and the front of the new car is long, which is obviously different from our impression of pure electric vehicles. It is expected that the new car will adopt a closed front face design to further optimize the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle.

Not only that, the new car will adopt a borderless door and a hidden door handle design, which looks a bit like Porsche Taycan, so some netizens teased: Whether you can drive a Porsche in this life depends on Xiaomi.

In addition, judging from the outline of the vehicle, the new car may be equipped with a spoiler.

In the body posture, the new car also looks very low. The inclination of the A-pillar is too large, the B-pillar is slender, and the waistline is high. It really looks like a coupe. In detail, the charging port is arranged on the left rear fender, and it will support sucking the charging gun.

From the general outline, it can also be found that the top of Xiaomi car is equipped with lidar equipment.

Earlier, there were car bloggers who came across the road test camouflage car of Xiaomi MS11. The blogger said that the body size of the new car would be at the B+ level.

However, it was revealed that the dimensions, length, width and height of the new car were 4860/1980/1666 mm respectively, which was similar to that of Tucki P7 currently on sale.

In the interior part, the new car may adopt a more conventional design, and there is a large central control screen in the middle of the center console.

Because the screen on the test car has a wide border, it is speculated that the production version may be equipped with a simpler and more sci-fi screen. In addition, the test car is equipped with a relatively small LCD instrument, and the steering wheel seems to adopt a flat-bottomed design, which highlights a certain sporty atmosphere.

In the core configuration, it is revealed that the battery of Xiaomi Automobile is 101kWh, with a rated voltage of 726.7V and a weight of 642kg. These parameters also show that the power battery carried by Xiaomi Automobile is expected to support 800V high-voltage fast charging, which is the same as the previous news.

800V should be the most advanced pure electric fast charging scheme in the field of new energy at present. As a reference, Tucki G6 equipped with 800V fast charging technology can charge for up to 10 minutes and have a battery life of 300km.

At the same time, Xiaomi’s first car will be equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip, which adopts 5nm process, and the GPU 3D rendering performance is three times higher than that of 8155. At present, there is no production car equipped with this chip in the market, even if Xiaomi car was released in 2024, it is still at the hardware level of the first echelon.

In addition, it will be a high probability that Xiaomi car will be equipped with MIUI car version. After all, MIUI system has always been the core of Xiaomi mobile phone, and it is expected to be equipped with intelligent voice of Xiaoai classmates and get through with Xiaomi smart home system. In addition, Xiaomi car will also support functions such as non-inductive unlocking of mobile phones.

It is worth mentioning that Xiaomi recently announced the test results of autonomous driving. According to the official statement, the test vehicle can realize unprotected automatic U-turn, bypass the accident vehicle and automatic parking in place.

You can even find the charging port automatically through the mechanical arm to complete automatic charging and homing.

As early as June 2021, Xiaomi invested in laser radar provider Hesai Technology, and Hesai Technology released a pure solid-state close-range blind-compensating laser radar named FT120 in November last year, which is expected to be mass-produced and delivered in the second half of this year.

Therefore, Xiaomi Automobile will be dominated by a hybrid solid-state radar located above the windshield, supplemented by several all-solid-state radars. This configuration is absolutely luxurious today.

Less than a year before Xiaomi’s first car went on the market, the core question of Lei Jun’s "soul torture" may be changed from "to do or not to do" to: expensive or not, which is a problem.

When Xiaomi just called to build a car, Lei Jun made a vote on "How much do you want Xiaomi’s first car to cost?" The result showed that the user group with less than 100,000 yuan was the largest.

However, judging from the current situation, the price of Xiaomi car seems to be not so low. According to many sources, the new car will be divided into two versions, one with a price range of 260,000-300,000 yuan and the other with a price of more than 350,000 yuan.

Then Xiaomi’s mass-produced electric vehicles are expected to become competitors of high-end electric vehicle brands such as Weilai, Tucki and Geely Extreme Chlorine.

However, Lei Jun seems quite confident about this new car. According to media reports, in the past two years, Lei Jun has recruited troops for Xiaomi Automobile. According to insiders of Xiaomi, the existing number of people in Xiaomi Automobile Department has reached 2,500, of which the algorithm team for automatic driving has exceeded 500.

According to the financial report, in 2022, the investment in innovative business such as Xiaomi smart electric vehicle was 3.1 billion yuan, and the size of the automobile business team was about 2,300 people. Half a year has passed, and the team members of Xiaomi Automobile are also growing steadily, and the new car will be unveiled at the end of the year at the earliest.

According to reports, Lei Jun has set a big goal in Xiaomi Automobile, and will achieve sales of 100,000 units in the first year of listing in 2024. In contrast, in the first year of mass production of Weilai Automobile in 2018, the set annual delivery target was only 10,000 vehicles. Until 2022, Weilai delivered a total of 122,500 vehicles, and in the same year, Xpeng Motors delivered 120,700 vehicles. Therefore, the pressure on Xiaomi car is really not small.

Then the question is coming. Do you think Xiaomi’s first battle next year will be successful this time?

Xpeng Motors IPO with a market value of $15 billion, its share price rose 41% on the first day.

Do you think the market value of Xpeng Motors will be super ideal?

Sharla Cheung, editor of Titanium Media

Following Weilai and Ideality, Xpeng Motors, a new car-making enterprise in China, also successfully listed in the US stock market.

On the evening of August 27th, Beijing time, Xpeng Motors was officially listed on the NYSE, with the stock code "XPEV". The opening price was $23.1 /ADS, up 56% from the issue price. At the close, Xpeng Motors’s share price closed at $21.22, up 41.47% from the issue price, with a total market value of $15.59 billion.

The issue price is superb and ideal.

The IPO price of Xpeng Motors was $15 /ADS, and a total of 99.73 million American Depositary Shares (ADSs) were issued, with a pre-market value of $11.021 billion.

It is worth noting that Xpeng Motors originally planned to issue 85 million shares of ADS, and the corresponding financing scale was US$ 1.28 billion. However, due to the higher-than-expected market demand, the issuance scale was increased to about 99.73 million shares, which means that the total amount of funds raised by Xpeng Motors this time is about US$ 1.5 billion.

At the end of last month, the issue price of LI, which landed on Nasdaq, was $11.5 per share, and the total amount of funds raised was $1.1 billion. On the day of listing, the pre-market value was $9.724 billion. Weilai listed in the US in 2018 at an issue price of US$ 6.26 per share, raising a total of US$ 1 billion, and its pre-market value on the day of listing was US$ 6.4 billion.

Comparatively speaking, Xpeng Motors’s listing price, pre-market value and fund-raising scale all exceed Weilaihe’s ideal of listing in the United States. This means that the head enterprises, a new force in car manufacturing, are still valued by the capital market, and the pure electric mid-to high-end market has been cultivated and matured by Tesla model3 and Weilai ES6. Compared with Weilai’s listing in that year, Tucki and Ideality are just in time to go public.

According to the prospectus, Xpeng Motors has completed 10 rounds of financing since its establishment. The latest financing was the C+ and C++ rounds in July and August this year, which raised 900 million US dollars. The investors included Alibaba, Aspex, Coatue, Gaoyou Capital and Sequoia China, and the post-investment valuation was 8 billion US dollars. In November last year, Xpeng Motors raised $400 million in Series C and introduced the strategic investment Xiaomi Group. By the end of the second quarter of 2020, Xpeng Motors had cash assets of 2.12 billion RMB, and its cash reserves were better than those of Weilai Automobile and LI before IPO.

At present, there are Internet giants behind the three new car-making companies, which have formed a pattern of "Weilai+Tencent, Ideality+Meituan, Tucki+Ali".

By August 28th, Weilai’s market value had reached US$ 23.5 billion, and its ideal market value was US$ 16.2 billion. From the market value, Xpeng Motors was closer to the ideal, and even exceeded the ideal on the first day of listing, but there was still a certain gap between them.

The strength of the three companies should not be underestimated, but from the product point of view alone, Xpeng Motors currently has two models G3 and P7 on sale, and plans to launch the third pure electric car before the end of next year; Weilai has three products, ideally only ONE Li ONE, and no new models will be launched within three years.

In addition, Tucki and Weilai take the route of pure electric technology, and the ideal is extended-range hybrid, and pure electric products will be launched later, but compared with Xiaopeng and Weilai, the ideal is a big step behind in pure electric.

The net loss in the first half of the year was 775 million.

Like Weilai and Ideality, Tucki has been in a state of loss.

According to the prospectus, in 2018, Xpeng Motors’s revenue was 9.7 million yuan and its net loss was 1.399 billion yuan; In 2019, it achieved a revenue of 2.321 billion yuan and a net loss of 3.692 billion yuan; In the first half of this year, Xpeng Motors’s revenue was 1.003 billion yuan, down 18.52% year-on-year (1.231 billion yuan in the first half of 2019), with a gross profit of-36.116 million yuan and a net loss of 796 million yuan. The gross profit margin narrowed sharply to-3.6% year-on-year (-38.23% in the same period of 2019).

In this regard, Xpeng Motors explained in the prospectus that the reason why the company experienced a year-on-year decline in revenue in the first half of the year was mainly due to the fact that most of the orders delivered in the first quarter of 2019 were accumulated in 2018, resulting in high revenue in the quarter; At the same time, due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic in the first quarter of this year, the speed of vehicle delivery decreased, which affected the income in the first half of this year.

It is worth noting that as of July 31st, Tucki G3 has delivered 18,741 vehicles, and Tucki P7, which started delivery in May this year, has delivered 1,966 vehicles, with a cumulative delivery volume of 20,707 vehicles.

From January to July this year, Xpeng Motors delivered 7,950 vehicles, Weilai delivered 17,702 vehicles and LI delivered 12,182 vehicles. Tesla Model 3 delivered 11,014 vehicles in July alone, ranking first in the sales of new energy vehicles in China.

As a car company whose main source of income is car sales, the decline in sales directly affects its income. With the current sales performance in Xpeng Motors, after IPO, it will face greater sales pressure.

Xpeng Motors predicted that the cost of batteries would drop significantly in the next 2-3 years. At the same time, by expanding vehicle types and production scale, sharing multi-platform effect, supplier collaboration, etc., we can also reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Although it continues to lose money, Xpeng Motors continues to invest in R&D. In 2018, 2019 and the first half of 2020, Xpeng Motors’s R&D expenditure reached 1.051 billion yuan, 2.07 billion yuan and 630 million yuan respectively, accounting for 89.2% and 62.9% of the total revenue in 2019 and the first half of 2020. Up to now, the accumulated R&D investment is 3.752 billion yuan, cumulatively.

Emphasize self-research ability

Xpeng Motors said that the proceeds from this IPO will be used for R&D and expansion of sales channels, and the remaining funds will be used for general corporate purposes.

In the prospectus, Xpeng Motors said that it has designed and developed its own software, core hardware and data technology, and it is the first new force car enterprise in China to independently develop and commercialize autopilot software (hardware is based on Xavier of NVIDIA, which supports L3 autopilot).

Xpeng Motors repeatedly emphasized self-research in the prospectus, including autonomous driving, intelligent operating system, internal powertrain and electronic and electrical architecture, and disclosed his own proprietary algorithms, including localization and high-precision map fusion; Camera-based perception and multi-sensor fusion; Behavior planning, motion planning and control.

In order to further prove its self-research ability, Xpeng Motors also disclosed a lot of key information, such as the use of ADAS: the adaptive cruise control function has accumulated 25.1 million kilometers of driving, and the lane centering control function has accumulated 11.1 million kilometers of driving.

Tucki also revealed some functions that the latest XPilot 3.0 will realize, and plans to launch the "navigation guided pilot" which can be used on expressways early next year, namely NGP, which can realize the functions of automatically changing lanes, overtaking other vehicles, recognizing traffic signs and adjusting speed.

In addition to software, Xpeng Motors has also achieved autonomy at the core hardware level. In the most critical three-electric system of electric vehicles, except for battery core procurement, battery management system (BMS) and battery pack are all independently developed by Xpeng Motors. And has completed the dual product line layout of SUV and car, becoming the only smart car company in China that has mastered the whole industry from design, research and development to manufacturing.

Risks after IPO

Although in terms of software, the new domestic car-making forces have certain competitive advantages. But compared with Tesla, there is still a certain gap. As to whether Xpeng Motors’s share price is inflated, an insider told the titanium media, "Let the bullets fly for a while. As a bulk product, automobiles ultimately depend on product strength. If the sales volume can continue to grow, the capital market will continue to be optimistic. If it is a bubble, it will burst sooner or later. "

Listing is a double-edged sword, with advantages and disadvantages. Building a car is a process of heavy assets and long-term investment, and it is difficult to make a profit in the short term. For the new forces of building a car, listing is not only a manifestation of fulfilling their promises to investors, but also a way to attract other capital. At the same time, talents will also flow to the head enterprises in large numbers, thus ensuring that there is enough "ammunition" to go forward and fight.

At the current time node, the market prospect of new energy vehicles has been clearly visible. Behind the new forces competing to go public, they are more looking for opportunities to survive. Xpeng Motors’s choice of IPO is also a key step.

However, listing will also bring risks, and some of its own problems will be exposed in the capital market without any cover. For Xpeng Motors, a large amount of R&D investment will follow, and if the sales volume cannot be greatly increased, the loss will be enlarged.

Coupled with the limited number of models on the market and the charging services such as software ordering, there is also great uncertainty whether it can meet the expectations of users.

In addition, some core technologies, such as batteries and semiconductors, are dependent on suppliers, and the charging service is mainly dependent on third-party cooperation, with risks such as cooperation renewal and quality control, and the new Zhaoqing factory has operational risks, which will bring many uncertainties to the subsequent development of Xpeng Motors.

For Xpeng Motors, listing in the United States is just the beginning, and there will be many challenges in the future. How to continuously improve the product strength and become a real breaker in the new energy vehicle market is the key.

    Movie network news(Photo/Hong Kong International Film Festival Reporting Group) A spy war movie directed by Siu Fai Mak and Zhuang Wenqiang and starring Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Zhou Xun, Mavis Fan and Wang Xuebing was released in Hong Kong on the 20th, with the latest trailer, the blind man of Tony Leung Chiu Wai and the secret agent of Zhou Xun dressed up. It is reported that this film, which is called a combination with Lust, Caution, will be released in the mainland on August 10th.
 


"Listen to the Wind" was created by many masters.


Siu Fai Mak and Zhuang Wenqiang.

 

Tony Leung Chiu Wai denied that the film was a copy of Lust, Caution when he played the old corner of Wang Baoqiang.

    Listening to the Wind is adapted from Mai Jia’s classic spy novel, which tells the story that agent Zhou Xun finds Tony Leung Chiu Wai, a street blind gangster, and with the help of Tony Leung Chiu Wai’s superior hearing, finds the enemy radio station that has disappeared for many years and obtains military information to defend the country. Zhuang Wenqiang said, "There are many spy wars in The Listener, but some adaptations will be made to the original."

    In fact, Mai Jia’s work has long been made into a TV series "Assassination", which was a smash hit, and the role played by Tony Leung Chiu Wai was played by Wang Baoqiang in that year. Referring to the difference in temperament between them, Zhuang Wenqiang said with a smile, "In fact, when I first read this book, I thought that this role should be played by Xiaogang Feng, but it is impossible. Of course, it is impossible for Tony Leung Chiu Wai to play Xiaogang Feng or Wang Baoqiang."

    On the same day, The Listener also exposed the trailer for the first time. Many scenes and characters in it will make people think of The Wind and Lust, Caution, but Siu Fai Mak doesn’t think so. "Some people say it is like it. In fact, you will know that it is not like it after watching the whole film, and it is different from our previous shooting style."

Next page:Zhou Xun turned into an emotional liar. Tony Leung Chiu Wai gave up the electric eye and played the blind PK Andy Lau.

[Continue to write more stories about spring and enter the national new zone of special economic zones] Hainan Free Trade Port policy has achieved results and explored the "treasure" at the southernmo

Cctv news(Reporter Xu Yeqing): On June 1, 2020, the Overall Plan for the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port (hereinafter referred to as the "Overall Plan") was officially released and implemented. According to preliminary statistics, more than 110 policy documents have been issued. This series of support policies are like precious seeds, which are spread in every corner of Hainan and promote the smooth construction of Hainan Free Trade Port.

Cultural tourism consumption is "fruitful"

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the tax exemption policy for outlying islands, and the accumulated sales amount is about to exceed the 100 billion mark. In the tempering of time, tax exemption for outlying islands has gradually developed into a "golden signboard" in Hainan. In July last year, the new policy of duty-free shopping in Hainan Island was implemented, and the shopping quota was increased from 30,000 yuan per person to 100,000 yuan per year, and the number of times was no longer limited; The variety of duty-free goods on outlying islands is extended to electronic products such as mobile phones.

Haikong Global Boutique (Haikou) Duty Free City (hereinafter referred to as "Duty Free City") is a duty-free store in Haikou, Hainan Island. Chairman Zheng Xiangjun recalled that at the beginning of the preparation of the duty-free city, the international market was affected by the epidemic, and the production capacity of major international brands dropped sharply, the supply was tight, and it was extremely difficult to attract investment and purchase. "Despite this, we are still facing difficulties, and we are fully promoting the work of raising the tax-free sector in the spirit of nailing, which will continue to help Hainan’s tax-free projects in the outlying islands." The first phase of the final project was successfully opened on January 31, 2021 as scheduled.

"The activity is still quite strong!" Ms. Wang and Ms. Liu, who came to the duty-free city for shopping, both said that they had a good shopping experience here. It is understood that as of April 22, the cumulative sales revenue of the first phase of the duty-free city has reached 313 million yuan, and the cumulative number of shoppers has reached 270,840.

Haikong Global Boutique (Haikou) Duty Free City mainly sells perfume and cosmetics.

In recent years, rural tourism has also become one of the first choices for people to travel for vacation. In Yanfeng Town, Haikou City, there is also such a village with a new look.

Beautiful countryside, Yaocheng, has built a new model of "supporting government infrastructure, industrial investment by state-owned enterprises, sharing rural resources and guaranteeing farmers’ dividends" to build a beautiful village, which is ecologically orderly, harmonious with fields and hospitals, and dependent on enterprises and people. According to the relevant person in charge, the current "online celebrity" village is built on the basis of the original village, which combines modern design with the original ecological environment to create an "idyllic living room" in Jiangdong New District, which integrates homestay, pastoral health, business office, high-standard farmland planting and agricultural experience.

It is understood that in 2020, the number of tourists received in Hainan will increase quarter by quarter, making it one of the regions with the best tourism recovery in the country.

Major functional platforms "take root and sprout"

In order to promote the development of China’s health industry and the reform of China’s medical and health undertakings, in 2020, Lecheng Administration launched the "Global Special Drug Insurance" with system integration and innovation in cooperation with medical supervision, insurance supervision, customs, medical insurance and enterprises.

At the same time, relying on licensed medical treatment, licensed research, licensed operation and licensed international exchange, Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pioneer Zone launched an innovative experiment in an underdeveloped medical province. At present, Boao Lecheng Smart Medical Industry Complex can use more than 130 kinds of domestic unlisted medical instruments.

Promote the construction of Sanya Yazhouwan Science and Technology City at a high level. Focusing on the requirements of the Master Plan, Sanya Yazhouwan Science and Technology City will focus on building "one port, three cities and one base", namely Nanfan Science and Technology City, Deep Sea Science and Technology City, Science and Education City, Nanshan Port and global animal and plant germplasm resources introduction transit base. It is understood that Yazhouwan Science and Technology City has added 2,290 registered enterprises in the past two years, and 254 projects have been signed and settled.

"The grass is growing, and the spring mountain is expected." With the effective implementation of the policy system of Hainan Free Trade Port, the continuous improvement of the development environment and the increase of market participants, Hainan is bound to have more "treasures" worth exploring and excavating.

Folklore experts elaborate on the origin of "Yuanxiao"


  On February 9, the Lantern Festival in Dongguan Street, Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province was crowded with tourists. On that day, it was the Lunar Lantern Festival, and thousands of lanterns were hung in the market of Dongguan Street in Yangzhou, allowing citizens and tourists to enjoy the festive atmosphere of the Lantern Festival. China News Agency issued Zhang Bingtao photo


  "Selling glutinous rice balls, selling glutinous rice balls, second brother’s glutinous rice balls are round and round …" The 9th is the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month, and it’s time to eat Yuanxiao again. On the fifteenth day of the first month, why do you want to eat Yuanxiao?


  Zhao Zhi Heng, an expert in Tianjin folklore, said that Yuanxiao is a holiday food, just like the rice cakes in the Spring Festival and the zongzi in the Dragon Boat Festival. Eating Yuanxiao symbolizes family reunion like a full moon, and places people’s good wishes for future life. Yuanxiao is made of glutinous rice, either solid or stuffed.


  Folklore experts said that regardless of the north and the south, the 15th day of the first month is the day for family reunion to eat Yuanxiao. The food name "Yuanxiao" is said to have appeared in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty because people used to eat it on the night of the Lantern Festival. Shangyuan Night is the first full moon night in the New Year. "A full moon begins with a circle", and a full moon shines in the sky. People gather to eat Yuanxiao, which is shaped like a full moon, and has a very subtle correspondence with natural phenomena. "The moon and the stars are burning in the sky, and there are two yuanxiao on earth", which expresses the happy mood of people’s family reunion.


  The moon on the Lantern Festival this year is unpredictable. Wang Sichao, a researcher at Purple Mountain Observatory of Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that while the public is enjoying the full moon, a penumbral eclipse is also happening.


  Wang Sichao introduced that the penumbral eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon that the moon enters the penumbra (a relatively bright part of the shadow) of the earth. At this time, the earth blocks part of the light from the sun to the moon, and the moon looks darker than usual. If you use a telescope to observe the moon, the feeling of darkening will be more obvious. Although the penumbral eclipse is not so spectacular and shocking, it is the best time to enjoy the full moon.


  This penumbral eclipse started at 20: 37 Beijing time on the 9th and ended at 0: 40 on the 10th, and the whole process can be enjoyed throughout China. Among them, the eclipse, that is, the maximum penumbra eclipse, is around 22: 38, when it is the most appropriate time to observe the slightly dim moon. (Author: Zhou Runjian, Cai Yugao)
