The Celtics won the tiebreak! In the finals against the Warriors, Butler did his best with 35 points.

Butler has done his best.

King-to-king, will-to-general, give everything he has until he dies.

On May 30th, Beijing time, the Heat and the Celtics fought a tiebreak, and finally the Celtics defeated the Heat 100-96 and returned to the finals after 12 years.

Butler played 48 points and scored 35 points and 9 rebounds, still playing a lonely hero. Unfortunately, this victory failed to favor the Heat …Among other Heat players, Adebayor had 25 points and 11 rebounds. Lori had 15 points and 7 rebounds.

Tatum won the East Finals MVP.

On the Celtics side, Tatum scored 26 points and 10 rebounds to win the East Finals MVP "larry bird Cup"; Jaylen Brown scored 24 points and 6 assists; Smart scored 24 points and 9 rebounds.

It is worth mentioning that in the past 13 seasons, the Celtics won Tianwangshan four times, but in the end they were all reversed by their opponents. Now the Celtics have not let the victory slip away.

Lori clings to Tatum (right).

A narrow escape to a close match.

Before deciding the G6, the data organization FiveThirtyEight predicted that the Celtics’ promotion probability was as high as 89%. At that time, almost everyone thought that the Heat was at the end of the road.

However, when it came to Dong Jue G7, the data agency updated the probability of winning the championship again, and the probability of Celtic advancing to the finals was only 52%, while that of Heat was 48%, which was the closest between the two teams.

From a narrow escape to a close match, it is enough to prove the stalemate of this series.

When it comes to tiebreak, coach Spock of the Heat said, "There is nothing like tiebreak, and I am really happy that we can all experience this."

In the history of the Heat’s team, they played in the tiebreak for 10 times, with a record of 6 wins and 4 losses. Since entering the Spock era, the Heat have won 4-2 in the tiebreaker, including 4-0 at home.

Butler is the only one in the Heat who can be trusted.

On the Celtics’ side, they experienced seven away games, and the Celtics won the most three away games with a winning rate of nearly 80% at home.

Among them, in the NBA finals in 1974, the Green Army beat the Bucks away to win the championship. However, after that, the Celtics lost four away tiebreaks in a row.

But history doesn’t mean that the Celtics have no chance-so far this season, the Celtics have been able to beat their opponents by 7.49 points, ranking fourth in NBA history.

In addition, the Celtics have never lost in a row this season. Since the playoffs, the Green Army has won every game after every defeat, with a record of 6 wins and 0 losses.

Brown broke through in the game.

The ability to adjust after losing is the label of Celtic this season. So at the beginning of the tiebreaker, the Green Army showed their aggressiveness.

They obviously strengthened the speed of changing the attack. In this section, the Celtics’ fast break score was 13-4, far ahead of the Heat, and the Celtics’ fast break score in the first quarter was only 1 point less than G6′ s whole game.

It is worth mentioning that Uduka canceled today’s pre-match shooting training. "In this series, I want players to have energetic legs and make them full of energy and vitality."

Under the continuous switching attack, the Celtics led by 32 to 17 in the first quarter, and the 15-point lead was also the biggest difference in the first quarter in the history of NBA tiebreak, while the Celtics led by 15 points in the first quarter in the history of playoff team, and their record was 21 wins and 0 losses.

At the home of the Heat, the Celtics made a perfect start, and the famous mouth Skip even tweeted: "The Celtics should set their home in Miami when they play the finals."

Butler hit the basket again and again.

Open Fire

In the Celtics’ voice tiebreak, the Heat can only rely on Butler.

In this game, Hiro, who missed three games, returned to the game list. He originally needed to rest for 1-2 weeks with a groin strain, but in the moment of life and death, Hiro forced his comeback.

Hiro’s forced comeback is commendable in spirit, but it’s hard to ask Hiro to do more in the intensity of the tiebreak. As Adebayor said: "This is a sensitive injury and he must take it slowly."

Hero, who appeared in the second quarter, not only failed to score, but also became the weak link of the Celtics’ main attack. Not only Hiro, but also the Heat’s starting lineup is quite weak on the offensive end-Lori made 0 shots in the first 5, and Struce and Tucker all missed the first 4 shots.

So the lonely hero Butler went online again. Butler, who scored 47 points in the last game, was still brave in the tiebreaker. At the beginning of the game, the Heat missed the continuous sports battle, and Butler broke the deadlock with a fast-break dunk.

In the second quarter, when the team’s attack was weak, it was Butler who propped up the whole team’s attack and scored 18 points to tie the single-quarter scoring record of his career in the playoffs.

Butler also made adjustments in the game. At the beginning of the game, Butler tried several shots and found that he felt bad, so he immediately switched the mode to kill the inside. Butler made 11 shots in the first half, and only 3 were out of the three-second zone.

Butler acupuncture treatment of knee.

The most representative goal was in the middle of the second quarter. Butler successfully scored 2+1 against the encirclement of the Green Army in the transition.

Throughout the first half, Butler scored 24 points on 8-for-11 shooting, Adebayor scored 11 points on 5-for-10 shooting, while other Heat players scored only 14 points on 3-for-17 shooting.

Before this game, Butler, who finished shooting training, even needed acupuncture to treat his knee.

In the case of Butler’s continuous attack on the inside, the game has already become a hand-to-hand combat. The Green Army made 16 fouls in the first half, which set a new high for the Green Army in the first half of this season.

Butler, who didn’t rest for a second in the first half, led the Heat to chase the score to 49-55, and the biggest difference between the two teams was only 6 points from 14 points.

Hiro came back with an injury.

Give everything you have until you die.

It’s more about the details that determine the outcome of the game.

As coach Spock said before the game, "It really depends on what kind of team you are, and it is a test of team habits. How much trust do players have?" What can you do at these critical moments? Can you do more than your opponent? "

In the last two minutes of G6, Butler scored a crucial 7-pointer, while Tatum and Brown of Celtic scored only one sports game in the last 4 minutes and 43 seconds. Not only that, Tatum also made many mistakes, and Brown wasted the key two penalty opportunities.

However, at that time, the shooting choice of double exploration was related to the defensive strategy of the Heat. As Tatum said after the game, "I think all I have to do is go on the court and feel the game, attract the defense’s attention and find the dislocation."

The same is true in the second half of the tiebreak. When the heat pressure gave us a double exploration, the role players of the Green Army stabilized the situation-Smart scored 9 points in a single quarter, and the Celtics once played a 17-9 offensive climax, but then the heat approached the score, and the Celtics led by 7 points in the third quarter and entered the last quarter.

Horford (right) tries to block Butler.

By the fourth quarter of the game, both sides had already given everything they had. Even when Adebayor fell, he elbowed White’s head and caused bleeding. Both sides still focused on the ball.

However, the Heat missed 7 shots in the fourth quarter and the score was pulled to double digits. But in the last two minutes of the game, the Heat scored 11-0, but Butler and Struce missed 3 points, and the Celtics finally won the victory.

When the smoke of Dongjue gradually dispersed, the warriors in the west were on a two-day vacation. The warriors who broke into the finals in advance will not start the team’s formal training until tomorrow.

As Cole said, "I think it’s important to rest. Both sides are very tired in the regional finals, and I think both teams in the East have felt this."

The Celtics will face an experienced warrior who has reached the finals six times in eight years.

The annual reports of 65 home furnishing enterprises were released, 4 enterprises suffered losses, and the decoration enterprises were in a difficult situation.

According to the incomplete statistics of the Beijing News reporter, as of May 10, 65 home listed companies have released their 2019 annual reports.

 

In terms of revenue and net profit, enterprises in different fields are different, which can be described as mixed. The data shows that among 65 listed companies, 41 companies have achieved double growth in revenue and net profit, and 22 companies have negative growth in net profit. In addition, Yazhen Home, Yihua Life, Yongan Forestry and Dongyi Risheng suffered losses.

 

Among them, the competitive pressure in the home textile industry has increased; The transformation and upgrading of home stores has gradually opened up the road of new retail innovation; The growth rate of customized enterprises has slowed down, and comprehensive strength has become the key to PK; Decoration enterprises are in a difficult situation and are still exploring new online and digital modes. In addition, some wood furniture enterprises have suffered continuous losses and have implemented delisting risk warning.

 

Home textile industry: competitive pressure, some enterprises began to transform and upgrade.

 

In 2019, enterprises in the home textile industry faced greater market competition pressure, and some enterprises began to transform and upgrade. According to the statistics of the National Bureau of Statistics, from January to November 2019, the domestic output value of enterprises above designated size in China’s home textile industry reached 119.6 billion yuan, a slight increase of 0.44% year-on-year.

 

The Beijing News reporter learned that among the seven listed companies, Duoai, Luolai Life, Fuanna, Vosges, Mercury Home Textiles, Nanfang and Meng Jie, only Duoai has a total market value of over 10 billion, which is 10.54 billion yuan. Followed by Luolai Life and Fuanna, with a total market value of 7.617 billion yuan and 6.314 billion yuan respectively. Nanfang shares ranked last with 1.646 billion yuan.

 

The annual report shows that in 2019, the revenues and net profits of four companies, Duoai, Luolai Life, Mercury Home Textiles and Meng Jie, increased year-on-year, while the revenues and net profits of Fuanna, Vosges and Nanfang decreased year-on-year.

 

Among them, Duoai’s revenue in 2019 was 75.649 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.19%, and its net profit was 835 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.85%. Both revenue and net profit ranked first. For the change of performance, I like to give two reasons. First, in December 2019, I completed the transfer registration procedures of major assets replacement, stock exchange, absorption and merger of Zhejiang Construction Investment Group Co., Ltd. and related transactions, and fulfilled the delivery obligation of the assets. Zhejiang Construction Investment Group Co., Ltd. became a holding subsidiary of the company, and its operating results were included in the scope of company merger. Second, after the reorganization, the company’s business has maintained steady development. The Beijing News reporter observed that the favorite revenue in 2018 was 903 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 32.61%, and the net profit was 27.7848 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 20.09%. Compared with 2018, its revenue and net profit growth slowed down significantly.

 

At the same time, the revenue and net profit of Luolai Life, Mercury Home Textiles and Meng Jie also increased year-on-year, with revenue of 4.86 billion yuan, 3.002 billion yuan and 2.604 billion yuan, up by 0.98%, 10.41% and 12.8% respectively. The net profit was 546 million yuan, 316 million yuan and 85 million yuan respectively, up by 2.16%, 10.69% and 119% year-on-year.

 

However, the revenue and net profit of Fuanna, Vosges and Nanfang declined in different degrees. Among them, Fuanna’s revenue was 2.789 billion yuan, down 4.44% year on year, and its net profit was 507 million yuan, down 6.72% year on year. Vosges’ revenue was 4.987 billion yuan, down 3.56% year-on-year, and its net profit was 387 million yuan, down 10.95% year-on-year. Nanfang’s revenue was 905 million yuan, down 10.58% year-on-year, and its net profit was 109 million yuan, down 41.44% year-on-year.

 

From the data point of view, the market competition pressure of home textile enterprises is greater. Compared with the data in 2018, the growth rate of revenue and net profit also dropped significantly. It is worth noting that in 2019, some home textile enterprises began to transform and upgrade, such as the transformation of Luolai Life into a one-stop brand retailer of home life, and the layout of new retail of Meng Jie shares.

 

Customized home: the overall growth rate slowed down, and one net profit showed negative growth for the first time.

 

In 2019, among the nine listed customized home furnishing enterprises, three have a total market value of over 10 billion, namely Oupai Home Furnishing, Sophia and Shangpin home delivery, with a total market value of 46.34 billion yuan, 17.94 billion yuan and 13.72 billion yuan respectively. The total market value of Dinggu Jichuang, which has been listed for more than one year, is 2.089 billion yuan, ranking ninth.

 

The annual report shows that in 2019, nine custom-made home furnishing enterprises still maintained an upward trend, but the growth rate has obviously slowed down. According to the data, Oupai Home Furnishing, Sophia and Shangpin home delivery occupy the first place, with revenues of 13.533 billion yuan, 7.686 billion yuan and 7.261 billion yuan respectively. Oupai Home Furnishing is the only enterprise with revenues of over 10 billion yuan. The net profits of the three companies were 1.839 billion yuan, 1.077 billion yuan and 528 million yuan respectively, and the growth of revenue and net profit did not exceed 18%.

 

The revenue growth rates of Piano, Golden Kitchen Cabinet, Wole Home and Zhibang Home are all above 20%, with year-on-year growth figures of 32.53%, 24.90%, 23.10% and 21.75% respectively. Its net profit increased by 23.33%, 15.37%, 51.24% and 20.72% respectively.

 

It is worth noting that Haolaike is the only one of the nine listed companies with negative net profit growth. In 2019, its revenue was 2.225 billion yuan, up 4.34% year-on-year, and its net profit was 365 million yuan, down 4.63% year-on-year. The Beijing News reporter learned that since its listing in 2015, Haolaike’s net profit has experienced negative growth for the first time. The 2019 annual report shows that the cost investment of Haolaike has increased, and both research and development expenses and financial expenses have increased year-on-year. Haolaike said that the R&D expenses increased by 63.16% compared with the same period of last year, mainly due to the increase in company categories and increased investment in product R&D and design. The financial expenses increased by 193.94% compared with the same period of last year, mainly due to the interest expense of convertible bonds accrued during the reporting period.

 

From the trend of various enterprises, customized enterprises continue to develop integrated business, pursue personalization, and explore new modes of Internet and digitalization. For example, Sophia officially upgraded the brand strategy to "cabinet customization expert", and Shangpin home delivery launched the development strategy of "new model+large-scale scientific and technological infrastructure".

 

In 2019, the customization boom is still unabated, but the growth rate of customized home furnishing enterprises is slowly slowing down. Some industry analysts pointed out that the customized home furnishing industry has entered the second half of competition, and enterprises have made efforts in brands, channels, products and services, and the future PK is comprehensive strength.

 

Wood furniture: Three enterprises suffered losses and were warned of delisting risk.

 

In 2019, wood furniture enterprises were also happy and sad.

 

According to the incomplete statistics of the Beijing News reporter, in 2019, among the 20 listed wood furniture enterprises such as Gujia Home, Daya Icon and Qumei Home, 17 enterprises were profitable. However, three companies suffered losses and were all warned of delisting risks, namely Yazhen Home, Yihua Life and Yongan Forestry, with net profit losses of 125 million yuan, 185 million yuan and 236 million yuan respectively.

 

Among them, Yazhen Home has suffered a net loss for two consecutive years. From April 29, 2019, Yazhen Home implemented a delisting risk warning, and the stock abbreviation was changed to "*ST Yazhen", and it was suspended for one day on April 28, 2019. For the reason of the loss, Yazhen Home explained that due to the domestic economic environment, industry competition and household consumption classification, the revenue did not meet expectations and the overall gross profit margin declined; As well as high costs such as rent and decoration amortization, store sales are still greatly affected by the market environment, the losses of direct subsidiaries have increased, and the impairment losses of some assets have further expanded on the basis of last year.

 

It is worth noting that on January 5, 2020, Yazhen Home also released a plan to issue shares and pay cash to purchase assets and raise matching funds and related transactions. The plan shows that Yazhen Home will reorganize its assets and intends to purchase 100% equity of Jinmei Intelligent held by Bai Xiangfeng and Liu Youhe in total by issuing shares and paying cash. The transaction price does not exceed 1 billion yuan.

 

Contrary to loss-making enterprises, the net profit of Gujia Home, Daya Shengxiang and Zhejiang Yongqiang ranked in the top three, with 1.161 billion yuan, 720 million yuan and 500 million yuan respectively. Among them, Gujia Home is the only enterprise with a total market value of over 10 billion yuan, with a total market value of 24.88 billion yuan. In addition, Gujia’s home furnishing revenue was 11.094 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 20.95%, and its operating income exceeded 10 billion for the first time. According to the annual report, in 2019, Gujia Home continued to increase the number of channels, continued to enter new properties, expanded new channels such as department stores, B&Q, Suning and Shangchao, and entered more than 100 blank cities. At the same time, the "1+N+X" layout was initially realized, and the store status was fully upgraded to realize digitalization of channel management.

Home Store: "Transformation" Becomes a synonym

 

In 2019, "transformation" became synonymous with traditional home stores, and "big consumption" transformation, digital transformation and immersive experience emerged one after another.

 

According to the annual report, in 2019, the revenues and net profits of three home stores, namely Easyhome, Red Star Macalline and Fu Sen Mei, all achieved double growth. Among them, Red Star Macalline’s revenue was 16.469 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.66%, and its net profit was 4.480 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 0.05%. Easyhome’s revenue was 9.085 billion yuan, up 7.94% year-on-year, and its net profit was 3.126 billion yuan, up 60.08% year-on-year. Fu Sen US revenue was 1.619 billion yuan, up 13.96% year-on-year, and net profit was 801 million yuan, up 8.97% year-on-year.

 

It is worth noting that Easyhome landed in A shares on December 26, 2019, and its total market value has reached 48.10 billion yuan, temporarily ranking first. The Beijing News reporter learned that since the start of strategic cooperation with Alibaba in February 2018, Real Home has started a new retail exploration journey, and continued to transform into "big consumption" in 2019, with outstanding data performance. Take double 11 as an example. In 2018, the sales of Easyhome exceeded 12 billion yuan, and in 2019, the sales of Easyhome nationwide reached 20.881 billion yuan.

 

Red Star Macalline is also launching new retail. Since May 2019, it has cooperated with Alibaba in many aspects. At the business level, at present, Red Star Macalline’s "Dragon Wing System" has been connected with Alibaba’s "Meow Zero POS System", further making the overall digitalization of people, goods and fields in the home furnishing industry a reality.

 

Household practitioners say that offline chain stores and online operations do online business in order to improve offline customer acquisition ability, and the goal of digital transformation is to make offline ecology prosper.



Decoration: Decoration enterprises explore new online and digital modes.

 

In 2019, it was not smooth for decoration enterprises, and "hardship" became a multi-frequency vocabulary for some home improvement entrepreneurs. According to the data of the annual report, the revenue and net profit of some enterprises also declined to varying degrees, among which one home improvement enterprise suffered losses.

 

According to the incomplete statistics of the Beijing News reporter, among the 13 decoration enterprises, the total market value of Jintang and Yaxia shares exceeds 10 billion yuan, which are 21.85 billion yuan and 13.36 billion yuan respectively. At the same time, the revenue and net profit of Jintang and Yasha also ranked first and second, with revenue of 30.835 billion yuan and 10.786 billion yuan respectively, and net profit of 2.349 billion yuan and 426 million yuan respectively.

 

It is worth noting that Dongyi Risheng’s revenue was 3.799 billion yuan, ranking sixth among 13 decoration enterprises. However, the revenue decreased by 9.62% year-on-year. In addition, the net profit loss was 249 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 198.7%. Dongyi Risheng explained that the decline in revenue was mainly caused by the decline in home improvement business, while the net profit loss was mainly due to the decline in revenue and impairment of goodwill.

 

In addition, the revenue and net profit of some enterprises have also declined. Among them, Baoying’s revenue decreased by 2.61% and its net profit decreased by 26.73%. The revenue of Mingjiahui decreased by 4.18% and the net profit decreased by 53.16% year-on-year.

 

The Beijing News reporter learned that decoration companies are also exploring a new model of online and digital home improvement in 2019. In 2019, Dongyi Risheng insisted on the road of home improvement through science and technology, and used digital means to improve delivery efficiency. At the same time, Qijia. com, the main operator of Qiyi Technology, which is the representative of Internet home improvement, is also promoting the digital transformation of installation enterprises. In 2019, Qijia. com released the 2020 "Torch Upgrade Plan", which screened and supported 1,000 high-quality home improvement enterprises nationwide, and the first batch of 100 star-rated enterprises formed Qijia. com’s "Torch Library" to provide all-round support for selected enterprises, give priority to development and upgrading, and promote the home improvement industry to the Internet and digital form.

 

Cement building materials: the advantages of head enterprises are obvious, and the total market value of five enterprises exceeds 10 billion.

 

In the field of cement building materials, the Beijing News reporter learned that among the seven enterprises including Jinyu Group, Dongfang Yuhong, Sanshu and Jiayu, five enterprises have a total market value of over 10 billion yuan, namely Dongfang Yuhong 61.02 billion yuan, Beixin Building Materials 40.87 billion yuan, Jinyu Group 35.24 billion yuan, Sanshu 21.23 billion yuan and Weixing New Materials 19.81 billion yuan. Among them, Jinyu Group, Oriental Yuhong and Weixing New Materials ranked in the top three, with net profit of 3.694 billion yuan, 2.066 billion yuan and 983 million yuan respectively.

 

In addition, the revenue of Beixin Building Materials increased by 6.03% year-on-year, but the net profit decreased by 82.11% year-on-year. The Beijing News reporter noted that in 2019, the annual report of Beixin Building Materials mentioned that the company’s non-operating expenditure in 2019 was 2.091 billion yuan, compared with 268 million yuan in 2018, a year-on-year increase of 681.33%. In this regard, Beixin Building Materials explained that the main reason for the increase was the increase in attorney’s fees and settlement fees for plasterboard matters in the United States caused by Taishan Gypsum, a company and its secondary subsidiary. It is understood that since 2009, many homeowners and housing construction companies in the United States have filed many lawsuits against at least dozens of gypsum board manufacturers, including Beixin Building Materials and Taishan Gypsum Co., Ltd., on the grounds of gypsum board quality problems.

 

At the same time, the Beijing News reporter noted that the total market value of Jiayu shares was only 2.1 billion yuan, and at the same time, its revenue and net profit showed a double decline. In 2019, Jiayu’s revenue was 3.437 billion yuan, down 19.21% year-on-year, and its net profit was 26 million yuan, down 56.54% year-on-year.

 

The data shows that there is a big difference in revenue and net profit between cement building materials enterprises, and the head enterprise has obvious advantages, while the tail enterprise has disadvantages in competition, so it is necessary to find a breakthrough in innovation.

 

Bathroom industry: the competition is still fierce, and the two companies have negative growth.

 

In 2019, the competition in the bathroom industry is still fierce. At the same time, the whole industry still shows a trend of declining demand at the retail end and intensifying competition at the engineering end. The Beijing News reporter learned that among the six companies involved in Dior Home, Huida Sanitary Ware, Aopu Home, Songlin Technology, Ruierte and Seagull, the difference in their net profits is not great. Among them, the net profit of Dior Home ranked first with 566 million yuan, followed by Huida Sanitary Ware and Aopu Home, with net profits of 329 million yuan and 268 million yuan respectively. Seagull residents are temporarily ranked sixth with 131 million yuan.

 

However, in 2019, among the six enterprises, only the total market value of Dior Home exceeded 10 billion yuan, reaching 11.60 billion yuan, its revenue was 5.57 billion yuan, up 29.29% year-on-year, and its net profit was 566 million yuan, up 48.70% year-on-year. Both revenue and net profit ranked first. For the growth of performance, Dio Home explained that the synergy effect generated by its high integration with Oushennuo is remarkable, and the comprehensive competitive advantage accumulated by Oushennuo’s self-operated projects over the years has been continuously exerted. At the same time, the retail model innovation and channel sinking layout have been continuously carried out, and the overall operation of Dio Home in 2019 has achieved contrarian growth.

 

According to the annual report, sanitary ware and building ceramics are the two main business sectors of Dior Home. Among them, the bathroom sector is the traditional main business of the company and owns the "Emperor" bathroom brand. However, in terms of sectors, its growth is largely driven by the tile sector, and the performance of the bathroom business has shrunk.

 

In addition, Aopu Home and Songlin Technology experienced negative growth in revenue and net profit. Among them, Aopu Home was listed on the A-share market on January 15, 2020, with its revenue down by 2.05% and net profit down by 11.41%. The revenue of Songlin Technology decreased by 1.14% year-on-year, and the net profit decreased by 0.85% year-on-year.

 

It is worth noting that although the net profit of seagull residents was at the bottom of 131 million yuan, its growth rate ranked first, with a year-on-year increase of 212.03%. It explained that in 2019, we will vigorously develop the domestic sales business of our own brands, such as customized bathroom, cabinets and smart homes, and the business results of the integrated bathroom in the previous strategic layout are outstanding. From the trend of various bathroom enterprises, most enterprises are expanding the whole bathroom business.

 

The industry believes that with the upgrading of consumption, consumers’ requirements for quality have gradually increased, which is a good opportunity for brands with high quality. In addition, the concentration of bathroom industry is not high, even the leading brands at home and abroad still have a lot of room for development.

Tesla FSD landed, how far is China players?

write an article /Tu Yanping
edit /Huangda Road
design /Zhao Yongshun

In May 2023, Musk revealed that Tesla FSD V12 would adopt an end-to-end solution. In March 2024, Tesla began to push V12 on a large scale.

According to the statistics of the third-party website FSD Tracker, after the update of Tesla FSD V12, compared with the previous version, the proportion of trips that users completely took over increased from 47% to 72%, and the average take-over mileage (MPI) increased from 116 miles to 333 miles.

On the Tesla FSD V12, the end-to-end autopilot technology has shown great strength.

With the development of AI and big model technology entering a new stage, end-to-end technology has become the focus of the autonomous driving industry. So, what is end to end? To what extent has its technology evolved?

In June 2024, Chentao Capital, Nanjing University Shanghai Alumni Association Autopilot Branch and Jiuzhang Zhijia jointly released the 2024 End-to-end Autopilot Industry Research Report (hereinafter referred to as the Report), which made an all-round analysis from the basic concepts, participants, development drivers, landing challenges and future prospects of end-to-end autopilot.

The Report systematically sorts out the concept of end-to-end autonomous driving technology, puts forward a set of terminology system for reference, and defines the basic concepts of end-to-end.

The Report pointed out that in the early days, the core definition of end-to-end was "a single neural network model from sensor input to control output". In recent years, the concept of end-to-end has been extended to a wider extent. According to the Report, the end-to-end core definition standard should be: lossless transmission of perceived information and global optimization of autonomous driving system.

Based on this definition, combined with the application degree of AI in the autopilot system, the Report divides the autopilot technology architecture into four stages:

The first stage:Perceive "end to end". The sensing module realizes the "end-to-end" at the module level through BEV (Bird Eye View) technology based on multi-transmitter fusion.

The second stage:Modeling of decision planning. Functional modules from prediction to decision-making to planning have been integrated into the same neural network.

The third stage:Modular end to end. Perception module no longer outputs the results based on human understanding definition, but gives more feature vectors. The comprehensive model of predictive decision planning module outputs the results of motion planning based on feature vectors. The two modules cannot be trained independently, and they must be trained simultaneously by gradient conduction.

The fourth stage:One Model end to end. There is no clear division of functions such as perception and decision planning, and the same deep learning model is directly used from the input of the original signal to the output of the final planning trajectory.

Among them, the last two stages meet the above-mentioned end-to-end definition standards.

In addition, the report also distinguishes and analyzes the differences and connections between end-to-end and big model, world model, pure visual sensor scheme and other confusing concepts.

In April, 2016, NVIDIA team published a paper named End to End Learning for Self-driving Cars, which showed the end-to-end autopilot system DAVE-2 based on Convolutional Neural Network, CNN).

The system processes the camera image in front of the vehicle through CNN, and directly outputs the steering angle. During the training process, the model learns by simulating driving data. The Report calls it a pioneering work in the field of end-to-end autonomous driving in recent years.

At present, there are many players with end-to-end autonomous driving in the market. The Report divides them into several categories:

First, the OEM. Such as Tesla, Xpeng Motors, HarmonyOS Zhixing, Weilai and Zero One.

On May 20, 2024, Xpeng Motors held an AI Day conference to announce that the end-to-end large model was on the bus.

On April 24th, 2024, Huawei launched a new version of intelligent driving system-Gankun ADS 3.0, which realized the modeling of decision-making planning and laid the foundation for the continuous evolution of end-to-end architecture.

In addition, Weilai plans to go online in the first half of 2024 based on the end-to-end active safety function, and Zero One Automobile, a new energy heavy truck technology company, plans to realize the deployment of end-to-end autonomous driving by the end of 2024.

Second, autonomous driving algorithm and system company. Such as Yuanrong Qixing, Zhizhi Robot, Shang Tang Jueying and Xiaoma Zhixing.

Horizon proposed the end-to-end algorithm Sparse4D; for automatic driving perception in 2022; In 2023, UniAD, the first publicly published end-to-end autopilot model in the industry, was published by Horizon Scholar I, and won the best paper of CVPR 2023.

In August, 2023, Xiaoma Zhixing opened three traditional modules of perception, prediction and regulation, and unified them into an end-to-end autopilot model. At present, they have been simultaneously installed in L4 self-driving taxis and L2 auxiliary driving passenger cars.

On the eve of the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, NVIDIA revealed the development plan of the autonomous driving business, and mentioned that the second step of the plan was to "achieve a new breakthrough in L2++ system, and get on the LLM (large language model) and VLM (visual language model) models to realize end-to-end autonomous driving".

At the Beijing Auto Show in April, 2024, Yuanrong Qixing demonstrated the high-level intelligent driving platform DeepRoute IO and the end-to-end solution based on DeepRoute IO. Shang Tang Jueying introduced the end-to-end autopilot solution "UniAD" for mass production and the next generation autopilot technology, DriveAGI. The former belongs to the "modular end-to-end" type, and the latter is "One Model end-to-end".

During the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, Du Dalong, co-founder and CTO of Jianzhi Robot, revealed that GraphAD, the original self-driving end-to-end model of Jianzhi Robot, has been mass-produced and deployed, and is being jointly developed with head car companies.

Third, self-driving generative AI companies, such as Nimbus Intelligence and Nimbus Intelligence.

Founded in early 2023, Optical Wheel Intelligence has developed a self-developed full-link solution for end-to-end data and simulation. In September, 2023, Nimbus Intelligent launched DriveDreamer, a world model of autonomous driving, which can realize full-link closed-loop simulation of end-to-end autonomous driving, and can be extended to directly output end-to-end action instructions.

Fourthly, academic research institutions, such as Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and Tsinghua University MARS Lab.

Since 2023, driven by Tesla’s benchmarking role, the AGI technology paradigm represented by the big model, and the anthropomorphization and safety requirements of autonomous driving, the attention of the autonomous driving industry to end-to-end has been heating up, and end-to-end has gradually become the consensus of the autonomous driving industry.

According to a survey of more than 30 front-line experts in the autonomous driving industry in the Report, 90% of the respondents indicated that the company they work for has invested in the research and development of end-to-end technology.

The Report analyzes the challenges faced by the end-to-end solution, including technical route, data and computing power requirements, testing and verification, and organizational resources investment.

First, differences in technical routes.

For example, "modular end-to-end" adopts the training paradigm of supervised learning, and "One Model end-to-end" may pay more attention to autoregressive and generative training paradigms, and both routes have company bets. According to the Report, in the next 1-2 years, as more companies and research institutions increase investment in the end-to-end field and launch products, the technical route will gradually converge.

Second, the demand for training data is unprecedented.

Under the end-to-end technology architecture, the importance of training data has been enhanced as never before. Among them, issues related to data quantity, data labeling, data quality and data distribution may all become challenges that limit end-to-end application. The Report suggests that synthesizing data and establishing a data sharing platform may be the solution.

Third, the demand for training computing power is getting higher and higher.

Most companies say that 100 large computing GPUs can support an end-to-end model training. And end-to-end into the mass production stage, the demand for training computing power has increased dramatically.

At the 2024Q1 earnings conference call, Tesla said that there are already 35,000 H100 GPUs, and plans to increase to more than 85,000 H 100 GPUs in 2024. Previously, it also deployed a larger A100 GPU training cluster.

In August, 2023, Tucki announced the establishment of the "Fuxuan" Intelligent Computing Center for Autopilot, with a computing power of 600PFLOPS (calculated from the FP32 computing power of NVIDIA A100 GPU, it is equivalent to about 30,000 A100 GPUs).

In addition, Shang Tang Big Device has laid out a nationwide integrated intelligent computing network, with 45,000 GPUs, with an overall computing power of 12000PFLOPS, which will reach 18000PFLOPS by the end of 2024.

According to the "Report", "Most companies that develop end-to-end autonomous driving are currently at the kilocalorie level. As the end-to-end gradually moves towards a large model, the training computing power will be stretched."

Fourth, the test and verification methods are not mature.

The existing test and verification methods are not suitable for end-to-end autonomous driving, and the industry urgently needs new test and verification methodology and tool chain.

Fifth, the challenge of organizational resource input.

End-to-end needs to reshape the organizational structure and tilt resources to the data side, which challenges the existing model.

In addition, some people think that the lack of computing power and interpretability are the limiting factors for end-to-end landing, and the Report puts forward the opposite conclusion.

The "Report" predicts that the mass production time of the modular end-to-end scheme of domestic autonomous driving companies may be in 2025, and the end-to-end landing time of One Model will be 1-2 years later than the modular end-to-end, from 2026 to 2027. Start mass production.

This will drive the upstream technological progress and the evolution of the market and industrial structure.

Technically, end-to-end landing will accelerate the progress of upstream tool chains and chips on which it depends; On the market side, the improvement of end-to-end autonomous driving experience will bring about an increase in the penetration rate of high-order assisted driving, and may also drive the application of autonomous driving across geographical regions, countries and scenes; In terms of industrial structure, end-to-end further enhances the importance of data and AI talents, which may lead to new industrial division of labor and business models.

In the early stage of development, autonomous driving draws lessons from the accumulation of many robot industries in perception algorithms, planning algorithms, middleware and sensors. In recent years, autonomous driving technology and industrial maturity have improved, among which the AGI technology paradigm provided by end-to-end autonomous driving has a feedback effect on the universal humanoid robot industry.

The "Report" believes that with the continuous progress of AI technology, the mutual integration and mutual reference of autonomous driving and robotics will be deeper, jointly promoting AGI (General Artificial Intelligence) to the physical world and creating greater social value.

Ten thousand years old four want to turn over, Netease cloud music wants more "song list"

Text | Zhang Shule (columnist of People’s Daily Online and People’s Post and Telecommunications, observer of Internet and game industry)

The song list of Netease cloud music is gray, and it has been cured.

On September 14th, Netease Cloud Music announced that it has reached a strategic cooperation with Bertelsmann Music Group (hereinafter referred to as BMG). The two parties will cooperate in music copyright, deep development of music IP, music performance and online karaoke.

BMG owns the recording rights of singers such as Avril Lavigne and Rolling Stones, as well as the lyrics and songs of a large number of outstanding music creators.

Since 2020, in order to reverse the unfavorable copyright situation, Netease Cloud Music has gradually entered the former copyright hinterland of Tencent Music, and has successively reached cooperation with copyright parties such as Universal Music, Ghibli, Shaocheng Times, Rolling Stone Records, Indie Works, BPMT(BPM Tokyo) and CUBE Entertainment.

On the afternoon of May 15th, Netease Cloud Music recently announced that it had reached a copyright cooperation with Shaocheng Times, and its artists included Liang Bo, Diamond and other famous Chinese singers.

Four days ago, Netease Cloud Music just reached a strategic cooperation with the world-renowned Warner Copyright. The two sides will carry out all-round cooperation in the upstream and downstream fields of the music industry such as music library content, online karaoke and music IP development.

It is reported that after the cooperation is reached, Netease Cloud Music will get the copyright of 1.3 million music songs by Warner. These include internationally renowned superstars such as Katy Perry and Madonna, and the copyright of lyrics and songs of many Chinese musicians such as Jonathan Lee and Jolin Tsai.

In domestic online music, can Netease Cloud Music, with its own efforts, "pry three" and MAU ranking fourth, save itself?

I have to say that although Netease Cloud Music has been at a disadvantage, on the whole, its community stickiness is extremely high.

Online music has changed from a multi-headed war to a double-headed hegemony between Tencent Music and Netease Cloud Music.

However, it must be said that this competition for hegemony has started from the field of copyright to more meta-competition.

After all, the music platform itself doesn’t produce much music, and the competition for copyright eventually became cheaper for the record companies that started from the ground.

For Netease Cloud Music, Chen Ting, a reporter from Time Weekly, had an exchange with Shule. Being original thought:

Netease Cloud Music’s song list is small and vertical, and its main purpose is to leave the core users who are really obsessed with music and have certain tasting ability, and prepare for the subsequent promotion of originality.

Song sheet is the killer of cloud music, and it is still the cornerstone of cloud music community and its own original content.

Without a song list, online music with more copyrights is just a player.

Netease Cloud Music has the power of World War I in the future track competition by focusing on the community and differentiated competition through the song list.

According to the report of Aurora Big Data, in June 2019, Netease Cloud Music added 758,000 users every day, with a 7-day user retention rate of 73.5% and a 30-day user retention rate of over 60%. Lachin and retention performed well, indicating that users are willing to stay in the music community.

But how to further cultivate is a problem.

Before, its song list did have a community tendency, but even in the period when copyright issues were not fermented, it was still a niche vertical and it was difficult to expand.

Netease is small and beautiful, the main purpose is to keep the core users who are really obsessed with music and have certain tasting ability, and prepare for the subsequent promotion of originality.

It has a good grasp of this rhythm, but it also needs money and time to be original, and it still has a long way to go. In addition, under the impact of the network divine comedy, this road to quality has become very subtle.

According to the data released by Netease Cloud Music in April, its original musicians have settled in more than 160,000. It looks like a lot, but it is still thin in the face of a huge music library.

In addition, the copyright war should not return to fever pitch.

Otherwise, it’s just a player with copyright to make money for copyright owners.

In this regard, Ding Lei has another expression, that is, he said in February: "We hope to return to a reasonable and rational price in the future."

Whether it is Tencent Music or Netease Cloud Music, in the future, the two sides will no longer continue to fight for copyright, but will each find a new way. The copyright advantage is only the initial point of contention.

In April, Tencent Music Entertainment officially released the long audio strategy, and launched a new product, Cool I Listen, which provides long audio including 19 content categories such as audio novels, cross talk storytelling and emotions.

The reason is that Shule’s consistent judgment is that at this stage, the realization of online music platform can not rely solely on content payment, but needs to be integrated into more fields of pan-entertainment, such as short video soundtrack, game music production and authorization.

Let content creators in more fields, including music creators, unlock more possibilities in content by authorizing music.

Nowadays, on the basis of retaining users, it will become a general trend to develop more scenes and find more profit points, such as music peripheral products and music licensing of short videos.

Tank 300: From technological innovation to market recognition, take a strong off-road level.

On October 22nd, at the "What’s Off-road"-tank autumn technical conference held by Great Wall Motor, the grading standard of enterprise off-road was publicly announced for the first time. In this landmark grading evaluation, Tank 300 was successfully classified as a strong off-road grade by virtue of its hard-core strength, after testing in four dimensions, 20 performances and 70 indicators. Coincidentally, in the past September, Tank 300 stood out with 96.5 points in the off-road test list released by the professional media, and successfully ranked among the top six, keeping pace with many high-end and well-known hard-core off-road models from overseas. The outstanding performance of Tank 300 fully proves that the brand of off-road vehicles in China has been among the top in the world, which shows the strong strength of off-road vehicles in China.

Tank 300: Strong off-road, hard power

The reason why Tank 300 can occupy a place in strong off-road is mainly due to its excellent off-road technology and careful design in terms of safety, reliability and durability. Among them, the vertical non-decoupling architecture and the "three locks" are undoubtedly the two core technical highlights, which laid a solid off-road foundation for them.

First of all, the tank 300, with its vertical non-decoupling architecture, realizes direct and efficient power transmission and efficient control of four-wheel power distribution. At the same time, the tank 300 built on the vertical platform is equipped with a 2.0T engine and an 8AT/9AT gearbox, with uniform counterweight, smooth driving and stronger power output when off-road, ensuring excellent stability and passability in various complex terrains and easily coping with various challenges.

Secondly, the tank 300 is equipped with a "three-lock" part-time 4wd system, which is a sharp weapon for its off-road extrication. By controlling the power distribution, it is ensured that when one wheel is in trouble, the differential lock can lock the wheel, ensure the other wheel to obtain torque, and realize the stable output power of a single wheel, thus helping the vehicle to extricate itself from difficulties and easily coping with various challenges.

In terms of safety, reliability and durability, the tank 300 also performed well. A large number of 1500Mpa ultra-high strength steel was used in the body structure to ensure less deformation when it was hit. At the same time, with double pre-tensioned seat belts, OPW front and rear integrated side air curtains and active safety configuration, it not only ensured the safety and comfort of drivers and passengers, but also further improved the off-road performance and reliability of the tank 300. Not only did it get 3G1A results in the collision test of China Insurance Research Institute, but it also got five-star safety certification in ANCAP, Australia, which was superior to Jeep herdsman and Land Rover Range Rover in the same period.

To sum up, the tank 300 can not only easily cope with the terrain with complex and changeable adhesion, but also be comfortable in desert, mountain, snow and other complex environments, meeting the diverse needs of deep off-road enthusiasts and becoming a truly strong off-road vehicle in their hearts.

The common choice of cross-country enthusiasts around the world

Since its listing, the market share of Tank 300 has far exceeded that of well-known luxury off-road brands at home and abroad, and its global sales have quickly exceeded the 370,000 mark. In the past September, Tank 300 still maintained a steady sales momentum, with 7,804 vehicles sold in a single month, ranking first in China off-road SUV for 45 consecutive months, and becoming a benchmark in the domestic off-road market. While occupying a place in the domestic market, Tank 300 has successfully entered the international market and made a big splash on a global scale.

At present, the footprint of Tank 300 has spread all over Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Australia, South Africa and other countries, as well as North Africa, Central and South America and other places. Winning wide acclaim and trust from users around the world not only provides excellent product experience, but also highlights the technical strength and influence of China brand in the global automobile market.

Behind the Off-road of the Top 300 Tanks: the crystallization of the deep accumulation and innovation breakthrough of Great Wall Motor

It is based on this background and strength that the tank 300 is well-deserved to be classified as a strong off-road grade in off-road classification, which is not only an affirmation of the tank 300 itself, but also a direct embodiment of Great Wall Motor’s deep accumulation and innovation breakthrough in off-road field. Great Wall Motor has been deeply involved in off-road field for 34 years, and has accumulated rich off-road experience and technical strength from early pickup trucks to later SUV models. As the representative of the third generation of off-road vehicles in the Great Wall, Tank 300 perfectly combines powerful off-road performance with intelligent and comfortable experience, breaking the inherent impression of users that traditional hard-core off-road vehicles are not luxurious, uncomfortable, intelligent, exquisite, fashionable and high fuel consumption, and leading the off-road vehicle market into a new era.

In the future, with the continuous exploration and deep cultivation of Great Wall Motor in the off-road field, Tank 300 will continue to optimize its product performance and constantly refresh the benchmark model of off-road products in China. In addition, Tank 300 will continue to explore overseas markets such as North China and ASEAN with the strong cross-country attitude of, and provide excellent products for global customers, so that the world can see China off-road and China can see tanks off-road.
