The owner’s story from Jianghuai iEV2 to Geometry A, listening to a car practitioner telling about 9 years of electric life.

Two weeks ago, we told a story about a man.The story of weilai car ownerHe bought his first electric car JAC iEV4 five years ago, and then he was no longer an "electric sprayer".

After the article was published, many old car owners added my WeChat and recalled the first tram they bought that year. Coincidentally, many of these people’s first tram experiences are related to Jianghuai.

What interests me most is one of the car owners named Mingzhou, because he said that he drove an electric car as early as 2011. I quickly checked the data of that year and found that more than 8,000 new energy passenger cars were sold in 2011. In the next two years, the market scale was only in the early 10 thousand, and it was not until 2014 that the real explosive growth was realized.

My intuition tells me that Mingzhou is definitely not an ordinary car owner.

Sure enough. After in-depth communication, he told me that his current occupation is the research and development of new energy vehicles. However, in 2011, he did the research and development of traditional fuel vehicles. At that time, his old club was Jianghuai Automobile.

After the start and development of new energy vehicles, as an industry practitioner, how does Mingzhou view the changes of trams? What expectations did he have for trams? Have they all come true now? Is his car selection experience different from that of ordinary car owners?

We talked intermittently for several days. Today, we can finally present his story to everyone and listen to his story together!

(The owner is in Mingzhou, and the picture is provided by the owner)

In 2001 and 2011, I bought a JAC iEV2 in Hefei.

In 2011, I just graduated and worked in Jianghuai, where I was riding a bike. Later, I talked about my girlfriend and bought a motorcycle. After a fall, my leg ached terribly, so I thought it was time to buy a car.

At that time, a colleague of mine bought JAC iEV1, and only a hundred cars were put into use in Hefei. I drove it several times and it felt good. Half a year later, iEV2, which was on the same platform as iEV1, came. I wanted to try it, so I started with a try.

(Jianghuai iEV2, picture from the network)

At that time, the domestic new energy vehicle market was still in its infancy, and there were few electric vehicles in the market. The state and Hefei municipal government provide great support. In addition to subsidies for car purchase, they can also enjoy free parking and free charging.

But frankly speaking, the technology at that time was still very imperfect and the battery capacity was very low. IEV2 can be regarded as a pioneer model of electric vehicles in China, but it can only run for 100 kilometers, and it has no fast charging function or energy recovery.

In terms of appearance and interior space, this iEV2 is exactly the same as that of Jianghuai Tongyue fuel vehicle at that time, that is to say, iEV2 is still an oil-to-electricity vehicle.

But for me at that time, the main consideration for buying a car was to be able to shelter from the wind and rain and have air conditioning, so it was enough to run to and from work in Hefei, so this iEV2 still met my use requirements.

In the end, the car was driven for less than two years and ran almost 20 thousand kilometers. There was only one problem during this period, and it was reported once in a winter, but it will be fine soon after restarting. It is also such a smooth car experience that I have always believed that Jianghuai has a good reliability.

To say that it is inconvenient, it is because of the limited cruising range and the lack of fast charging function that cross-city use cannot be realized. It was for this reason that I finally sold it, because I was going to work in Nanjing.

I still remember that I chatted with a Japanese expert more than once and said, "If only the electric car could run 300 kilometers."

In 2002 and 2016, I bought JAC iEV4 and BYD Qin in Nanjing.

After I arrived in Nanjing, I bought a fuel-efficient car, but I still feel that the electric car is easier to drive. I have been paying attention to the dynamics of Jianghuai Automobile and I am full of expectations for the electric car.

When you think about it, the requirements at that time were really not high, just hoping for fast charging and energy recovery. Later, I learned that iEV4 began to be sold, and these two functions I was looking forward to very much were available. I quickly returned to Hefei and bought one.

(Jianghuai iEV4, picture provided by the owner)

At that time, the endurance was increased to 150 kilometers, which was much better than iEV2 in acceleration, steering stability and chassis comfort.

The first challenge I faced after picking up the car was to drive the car back to Nanjing from Hefei and challenge the actual distance of 180 kilometers with a battery life of 150 kilometers. I was still a little worried at that time. However, after driving at a speed of 70-80km/h, I really arrived in Nanjing smoothly, and there was about 20% electricity left. At that time, I realized that the working condition was too important for electric vehicles.

In fact, there are many models to choose from in 2016. BYD and BAIC have already produced models with a battery life of 300 kilometers. The reason why we chose JAC iEV4 instead of a 300-kilometer model is mainly the cost performance. This car was the cheapest car I could look at at at that time. Coupled with my familiarity, affection and trust in its quality, it was easy to make such a choice.

After driving iEV4 back to my home in Nanjing, I encountered a new problem-charging. In fact, I can charge at my own door, but the property does not allow it, and I often get complaints. The charging station near my home is also difficult to use, and I often encounter the situation that oil trucks occupy space.

This iEV4 is now being driven by my father who lives in his hometown in Hebei. At that time, it was very hard for us to drive the car back to Hebei. My father and I drove slowly all the way, and we often encountered incompatible charging piles in high-speed service stations, so we had to choose slower charging piles with higher compatibility to charge, so it took us three days and three nights to drive this iEV4.

This is my personal experience. I already have a 300-kilometer electric car that can meet the needs of most people. What is the bottleneck of electric cars? Until now, I also think it is charging.

Fortunately, the quality of this iEV4 is not bad, and it has been very easy to use. Now it has run 30,000 kilometers. Father scoffed before, but now he really likes it. After all, it’s quiet and saves money.

At the end of 2016, I also bought a second-hand BYD Qin PHEV, which was purely to experience plug-in hybrid. I didn’t think that this car, which had only driven 20 thousand kilometers at that time, brought me a lot of trouble First, I bought it and changed a few power batteries soon, and then I changed the motor and gearbox assembly. Later, the state was still not good, and these were changed for the second time, which was very tossing. However, BYD is awesome, and all of them are replaced for free.

Later, I heard from friends in the circle that there were many problems with this first car, and BYD later solved and improved it. But anyway, the experience I had was really not very good.

In March, 2019, I was in Ningbo, and bought JAC iEV6E and Geometry A.

In 2019, I have already worked in Ningbo, but I still pay attention to Hefei Jianghuai and am very interested in the iEV series. Because the subsidy dropped sharply in that year, it was more appropriate to buy a car before the fall. So I started a JAC iEV6E, and later I drove it back to my hometown in Hebei to drive it for my sister.

(Jianghuai iEV6E, picture provided by the owner)

The tram in my home is Geometry A now. In April 2019, after Geometry A went on the market, my wife and I liked it very much and soon went to the store for a test drive.

My lover obviously likes it better than me. I understand that women are all impressionists and attracted by the beautiful temperament of Geometry A.. The interior is sci-fi, the appearance is beautiful, the seat is comfortable, and it is fully functional. It also has L2 assisted driving, and the power is much better than that of previous JAC cars. So at present, this car is driven by both of us. The gas truck is running at 15 or 6 gas, and I am really more and more reluctant to drive.

In fact, it’s not just me, many people around me are like this. As long as the first electric car is not too bad, people often continue to choose the tram for the second car. Even if you have a petrol car at home, you will still buy another tram as a supplement.

Now this Geometry A has been driving for less than a year, and it has run 13,000 kilometers. It is really easy to drive. As long as it is within 150 kilometers one way, we will choose Geometry A..

The reason for this is the distrust of public charging stations, because it is really difficult to judge whether the charging stations in the high-speed service area are good or not unless they have been there. I have encountered the situation that the charging station is not easy to use twice in a row, which is a headache.

In addition, if I say that the one-way distance is less than 150 kilometers, I will choose Geometry A, because the cruising range of my Geometry A is 410 kilometers. I tried it once at high speed, and I can run about 360 kilometers. Plus, I will leave some allowance for myself, and I can run at least 300 kilometers back and forth.

My hometown is in Hebei, which is far from Ningbo where I live. I can’t drive a few times a year, but the mileage will be longer once. In daily life, I drive electric cars the most, and the mileage is much more than that of oil cars every year.

In my opinion, if you only need to drive long distances once or twice a year, electric vehicles can completely replace fuel vehicles. Moreover, the feeling of driving an electric car is too different from that of driving a fuel car. There is no frustration, quietness and unpleasant smell, and the more you drive, the more you like it.

(Geometry A, the picture is provided by the owner)

04, 2020, recalling the past and looking forward to the future.

After more than ten years of strong support from the state and huge R&D investment from car companies, the key components such as batteries, motors and electronic controls in China have developed very well. In addition, the oil price is still subject to international crude oil resources, and the electrification of private cars will definitely be a national strategy and a future development trend.

At present, the pioneer Tesla has started the brand, and there are also new power brands that have done well in China. After the localization of Tesla, Huawei, Xiaomi and VIVO in the automotive industry may appear soon.

Although there are many good models with a battery life of 500 kilometers, I always think that electric vehicles are not simply pursuing high battery life. After a certain degree of attenuation, reaching 300 kilometers has actually met the needs of most people.

For the mileage anxiety and charging problems that the industry is generally concerned about, they are actually interrelated. If one problem can be solved, it will not be a problem. For example, considering the attenuation in winter, the battery life can still meet the use requirements; Or realize convenient charging and convenient fast charging.

The residual value of used cars is related to the stability of vehicle quality and market acceptance. In my opinion, in 2025, or a year earlier, electric vehicles will be in full bloom in the China market. At that time, the cost will come down, the sales volume will rise, the acceptance of consumers will rise, and the market will open at once.

Are you also a new energy owner? If you are interested in sharing your car experience, please add me to WeChat 421008676 for a private chat, become the owner of the first electric bull, and send out the voice of the real owner together. There are surprises ~

Looking at the industry layout next year from the central economic work conference and recent macro clues

The communique of the Central Economic Work Conference has been issued, which has important guidance for the choice of industry structure next year, and scientific and technological innovation has now become the most important support direction of the policy; The opportunities brought by stronger government expenditure are also worthy of attention. Judging from the recent macro-variable changes, the Federal Reserve will become loose next year, and the marginal improvement of external demand is a high probability event; Therefore, the layout of "technological innovation+export" and "technological innovation +To G" has become an important clue to the industry layout next year.

Core view

【 Guance on the Market 】Looking at the industry layout next year from the central economic work conference and macro clues.In 2024, the fiscal expenditure is expected to increase. From the perspective of the Central Economic Work Conference, new industrialization, digital economy and artificial intelligence: among them, the policy expression of artificial intelligence has changed, from safe development to "accelerated promotion". Strategic emerging industries focus on bio-manufacturing, commercial aerospace and low-altitude economy; Expand the scope of local government special bonds used as capital (increase support for "three major projects" and "new urbanization"); It is necessary to promote large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods. Stabilize and expand traditional consumption and boost large-scale consumption of new energy vehicles and electronic products. Generally speaking, TMT, durable consumer goods, machinery and equipment, and some start-up chains are expected to become the directions and fields supported by financial expenditure next year. Recently, a series of statements by the Federal Reserve and the fall of the global inflation center have made it possible for 2024 to become a year of loose global money and liquidity. When the US dollar index weakens and global liquidity tends to be loose, the import growth rate of major countries in the world tends to bottom out and turn positive. Recently, China’s export growth rate has turned positive against the background that the actual base is not low, which also reflects the improvement of China’s export demand. From the direction of global demand improvement next year, semiconductors and consumer electronics, industrial metals, household appliances, automobiles and parts are the areas where domestic and foreign demand has improved marginally in the near future and exports are expected to continue to improve next year.

[Re-examination and Vipassana]The factor affecting that global market this week are as follow:(1) The Central Economic Conference was held in Beijing; (2) The Fed releases dove signals; (3) US CPI in November met expectations; (4) The scale of social financing in China increased by 2.45 trillion yuan in November, 455.6 billion yuan more than the same period of last year; (5) The central bank’s net MLF investment in December reached a new high.

【 meso-prosperity 】In November, the auto market continued to be hot, and the cumulative year-on-year decline in newly started housing area narrowed from January to November.In November, the revenue of most IC manufacturing, memory, silicon wafer, packaging, PCB and passive components in Taiwan stocks decreased year-on-year, while the revenue of IC design, lens, some panels and LED manufacturers achieved positive growth year-on-year. In November, the automobile market continued to be hot, and the production and sales of automobiles increased year-on-year. New energy vehicles and automobile exports led the industry to grow. From January to November, the cumulative year-on-year decline in newly started housing area narrowed, and the cumulative year-on-year increase in completed housing area narrowed; The cumulative year-on-year decline in commercial housing sales and commercial housing sales area has expanded.

[Capital, Oligopoly]Net inflow of financing funds and net subscription of ETF.The net outflow of northbound funds this week was 18.58 billion yuan; The total net inflow of financing funds in the first four trading days was 5.71 billion yuan; 2.21 billion shares of Public Offering of Fund were newly established, down 4.04 billion shares from the previous period; ETF net subscription, corresponding to a net inflow of 18.39 billion yuan. In terms of industry preference, public utilities, real estate, automobiles, etc. have a higher net purchase scale of funds in the north; Net purchase of financing funds for computers, food and beverage, non-bank finance, etc.; There are more medical ETF subscriptions, and more financial real estate (excluding brokers) ETFs are redeemed. The scale of major shareholders’ net reduction is reduced, and the scale of reduction is planned to increase.

【 Theme and Wind Direction 】With the release of "White Paper on AI PC Industry (China)", Intel launched a brand-new processor, and the AI PC industry accelerated its landing.On December 7th, at the first AI PC Industry Innovation Forum, Lenovo and IDC released the industry’s first White Paper on AI PC Industry (China), which provided a framework for the accelerated development of AI PC. On December 14th, Intel officially launched the AI PC processor at the "AI Everywhere" event held in new york, and the AI PC industry accelerated.

[Data Valuation]The valuation of all A shares this week is lower than last week., PE(TTM) was 13.2, down 0.1 from last week, which was in the 22.4% quantile of historical valuation level. The valuation of the sector is mixed, among which comprehensive, media and social services are among the top gainers, while food and beverage, medical biology and computers are among the top losers.

[Risk warning]Industrial support is less than expected, and the macro economy fluctuates.

Viewing policy and discussing the market-Looking at the industry layout next year from the central economic work conference and macro clues

In the strategic outlook for 2024, we believe that with the smooth domestic credit cycle, social financing weakens the profit drive, and different industries enter an era of great differentiation. In 2024, government spending will increase, combined with the improvement of external demand after the end of the global austerity cycle, the domestic economy is expected to recover moderately, global scientific and technological innovation will enter an upward cycle, A-share enterprises will have an upward profit, and the capital will turn to a moderate net inflow. Multi-factor resonance, A-shares are expected to maintain a structural bull trend of upward shock. Structurally, the growth style is relatively dominant, focusing on science and technology, medicine and some cyclical industries with clear industrial trends, large improvement slope of prosperity and good supply and demand pattern of production capacity. At the end of November 2023, we released the report "Turning Point Established, Jedi Counterattacked", arguing that A shares faced ten important positive marginal changes, and the turning point of A shares’ fundamentals, funds and policies was established. At the end of December, 2023, we released the report "Weight Rebound, Growth Across the New Year", arguing that with the convening of the Political Bureau meeting and the Central Economic Work Conference, the adjustment for next year is established, and the measures to stabilize growth are expected to be substantially implemented. The external demand and external liquidity began to improve continuously, and the domestic incremental capital mechanism is constantly emerging. The last N-shaped trend will eventually open after many setbacks.

?Looking at the industry choice next year from the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference

?Industrial Policy: Focus on Four Main Lines of Leading Modern Industrial System Construction with Scientific and Technological Innovation

It is suggested to pay attention to the four main lines of leading the construction of modern industrial system with scientific and technological innovation.This meeting focused on the "self-reliance through science and technology" proposed by the Politburo meeting and further deployed the industrial policy. On December 10th, we published "Under the current valuation level, how to interpret A after the Politburo meeting? It is suggested that the strategic significance of focusing on "self-reliance and self-improvement through science and technology" has been improved again. Judging from the expression of the draft, there are four main lines of industrial policy:

New industrialization, digital economy and artificial intelligence: among them, the policy expression of artificial intelligence has changed, from safe development to "accelerating promotion".In 2022, the Central Economic Work Conference mentioned "artificial intelligence" for the first time. At the Politburo meeting in April this year, high-level officials focused on artificial intelligence for the first time, mentioning "paying attention to the development of general artificial intelligence", but also mentioning "paying attention to preventing risks". In July, the Politburo meeting once again mentioned "artificial intelligence", continued the idea of safe development, and pointed out "promoting the safe development of artificial intelligence". However, the evolution of the expression of artificial intelligence in this Central Economic Work Conference is to "accelerate the promotion", and the high-level attention to artificial intelligence needs no elaboration.

Strategic emerging industries: bio-manufacturing, commercial aerospace and low-altitude economy.

Future industries: quantum and life sciences

Industrial transformation and upgrading: digital intelligence technology and green technology

picture

?Fiscal policy: the policy will make moderate efforts to support key areas such as scientific and technological innovation, and wait for the start of a new round of fiscal and taxation system reform.

Focus on supporting scientific and technological innovation and manufacturing development, and financial support for "three major projects" and "new urbanization" is expected to increase.After the expression of fiscal policy was expanded from "increasing strength and improving efficiency" to "moderately increasing strength, improving quality and increasing efficiency" at the Politburo meeting in December, this meeting further pointed out the specific direction of increasing strength and increasing efficiency. Specifically, the follow-up will 1) focus on increasing financial support for major national strategic tasks.(Provide more subsidies and increase tax cuts for technological innovation and manufacturing development); 2) Expand the scope of local government special bonds as capital.(Increase support for "three major projects" and "new urbanization").

Plan a new round of fiscal and taxation system reform.After a lapse of three years, the Central Economic Work Conference once again mentioned "the reform of fiscal and taxation system", and the last time it mentioned "the reform of fiscal and taxation system" was at the Central Economic Work Conference in 2019. In the future, the further thinking and deployment of the fiscal and taxation system reform are expected to be further elaborated at the important meeting to be held next year. The focus of the reform may continue to "establish a central and local financial relationship with clear rights and responsibilities, coordinated financial resources and regional balance" mentioned in the 14 th Five-Year Plan.Mainly focus on the financial relationship between the central and local governments.

picture

?The policy of expanding domestic demand: renewal becomes the starting point of investment, paying attention to the trade-in of consumer goods.

Update as the main starting point of investment.The meeting continued the tone of the Politburo meeting, affirmed that insufficient demand is still the main contradiction restricting China’s economic development, and further expounded how to form a "virtuous circle of mutual promotion of consumption and investment."

In terms of consumption, in addition to increasing consumer supply,Cultivate new consumption(digital consumption, green consumption, healthy consumption, actively cultivating smart homes, recreational tourism, sports events, domestic products "trendy products", etc.),Stabilize traditional consumption(Boosting the mass consumption of new energy vehicles and electronic products), the meeting further affirmed the need to "increase the income of urban and rural residents and expand the scale of middle-income groups", andTrade-in of consumer goods.

On the investment side, the meeting made it clear that updating should be the key breakthrough point.It is proposed to "promote large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods". China once mentioned equipment renewal in the central economic work conferences in 2015, 2018, 2019 and 2020, but only in the conferences in 2018 and 2020, equipment renewal was regarded as the starting point of investment.Among them, although the meeting in 2018 will give priority to supporting technological transformation and equipment renewal in the manufacturing industry, it will focus on the new infrastructure, and the new infrastructure has developed rapidly since then. This meeting focused on the equipment renewal in detail, and put forward the idea of "improving technology, energy consumption, emission and other standards as the traction" and used the word "large-scale", which showed a strong policy appeal to promote equipment renewal.In the future, or referring to the policy context of new infrastructure, there will be more policy documents to further define the standards and measures for equipment renewal.From the perspective of specific policy expectations, the special refinancing of equipment renovation and other structural support tools that were introduced in 2022 are expected to be introduced.

?Real estate policy: continuing the previous policy context

This meeting continues the previous policy context.: 1) Continue to "actively and steadily resolve real estate risks"; 2) Continue to "protect the main body" and "meet the reasonable financing needs of real estate enterprises with different ownership equally"; 3) Continue to "accelerate the construction of affordable housing, the construction of public infrastructure for both ordinary and emergency use, and the renovation of villages in cities".However, it is worth noting that under the background that the Politburo meeting in December and this Central Economic Work Conference all mentioned "first set up and then break", the intensity of various real estate policies is expected to increase.

picture

Based on the policy adjustment and various economic work arrangements of the Central Economic Work Conference in 2023, we believe that the investment guidelines of the Central Economic Work Conference for A shares next year mainly include the following aspects:

(1) From a macro perspective, the strength of policy support for various economic work is expected to exceed market expectations.Specifically, the fiscal policy orientation is positive, and deficit ratio will arrange or keep it above 3%, but it will not be flooded.; Monetary policy is flexible, moderate, accurate and effective. It is mentioned for the first time that "money supply" matches "expected target of price level", and there may be room for further interest rate reduction in the first quarter of next year.Liquidity is expected to be further relaxed, bringing room for valuation improvement for A shares;

(2) From the perspective of industry, focus on the industrial policy force brought by the new wave of scientific and technological revolution, and grasp the four main lines of science and technology and the new quality productivity.In Report to the 20th CPC National Congress, "self-reliance through science and technology" was emphasized. This meeting put "leading the construction of modern industrial system with scientific and technological innovation" at the top of all key work arrangements in the coming year, and the importance of self-reliance and self-reliance in science and technology is beyond doubt. This meeting highlightedFour main lines: 1) new industrialization, digital economy and artificial intelligence; 2) Strategic emerging industries: bio-manufacturing, commercial aerospace and low-altitude economy; 3) Future industries: quantum and life sciences; 4) Industrial transformation and upgrading: digital intelligence technology and green technology, and re-emphasized the "new quality productivity" first mentioned by the Supreme Leader General Secretary in September this year.

(3) From the perspective of industry, focus on the investment with equipment renewal as the main starting point, and the consumption policy of trade-in of consumer goods/new consumption/bulk consumption.This meeting not only continued the tone of the previous Politburo meeting on the mutual promotion of consumption and investment, but also proposed to focus on equipment renewal in investment.And for the first time, it focuses on the main direction of equipment renewal, and even uses "large-scale" to imply a strong policy appeal of taking equipment renewal as the investment grasper.Subsequent supporting policies, such as special refinancing for equipment renewal, are expected to be further introduced.The growth rate of manufacturing investment is expected to remain high next year, and a new round of equipment renewal cycle is expected to come under the impetus of policies.In addition, on the consumer side, the policy mainly focuses on cultivation.New consumption (smart home, entertainment consumption, domestic products) and stable traditional consumption (new energy vehicles, consumer electronics) are recommended to continue to pay attention. In addition, the trade-in of consumer goods and the silver-haired economy are also expected to become the main scenes of consumption.

(4) From the perspective of industry, it is suggested to pay attention to the silver-haired economy, new urbanization/urban renewal, which has the potential to evolve into an important main line in the future.Combing all previous central economic work conferences since 2013,This meeting put forward the concept of "silver hair economy" for the first time.However, the specific policy deployment needs to be further launched, and it is expected to become the main line of market interpretation in the future. In addition, this meeting once again mentionedNew urbanization and urban renewalAlthough they are not placed in the paragraph of expanding domestic demand and promoting investment in length, it does not rule out that they will become the main focus of investment, and it is recommended to pay attention to the follow-up policy direction.

Looking back on the past five years, the Central Economic Work Conference has great guidance for the performance of the A-share industry in the coming year. Consumption in 2019 (food and beverage, household appliances, etc.); Electric innovation in 2020 and 2021 (electric equipment and automobiles), infrastructure (transportation and construction) in 2022, and artificial intelligence (communication, media, computer and electronics) this year.To sum up, after summarizing the central economic work, we suggest focusing on: 1) main lines of science and technology (four main lines and new quality productivity), 2) equipment renewal, 3) trade-in of consumer goods/new consumption/bulk consumption, 4) silver-haired economy, and 5) new urbanization/urban renewal.

?Two clues of recent macro-changes

?Clue 1: fiscal expenditure is expected to increase in 2024, and the direction of government expenditure is worthy of attention.

Judging from the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference, the expression of fiscal policy has been expanded from "enhancing efficiency through efforts" to "moderately enhancing efforts, improving quality and increasing efficiency". In 2024, with the local government debt problem beginning to resolve and economic growth facing new pressure, government expenditure has started to accelerate obviously in the near future. It is expected that the expenditure intensity will be maintained in 2024, and finding the direction of government expenditure is an important idea for industry selection in 2024.

1) Focus on increasing financial support for major national strategic tasks (providing more subsidies and increasing tax reduction for scientific and technological innovation and manufacturing development); 2) Expand the scope of local government special bonds as capital (increase support for "three major projects" and "new urbanization"); 3) We should take the improvement of technology, energy consumption, emission and other standards as the traction to promote large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods. 4) Stabilize and expand traditional consumption, and boost mass consumption of new energy vehicles and electronic products.

The industries involved in the above policies include household appliances, household appliances, new energy vehicles, electronic products and other durable goods; The construction chain includes building materials and industrial metals; TMT in the field of science and technology.

picture

?Clue 2: The global monetary policy environment is becoming loose, the global import growth rate is expected to bottom out and China’s external demand will improve.

In 2023, under the global monetary and liquidity tightening environment, the global import growth rate showed a significant decline. China’s exports are also under certain pressure, with a negative growth rate in many months throughout the year. Recently, a series of statements by the Federal Reserve and the fall of the global inflation center have made it possible for 2024 to become a year of loose global money and liquidity. Recently, the US dollar index has also weakened significantly, reflecting the market expectation. In the past historical samples, when the US dollar index weakened and global liquidity became loose, the import growth rate of major countries in the world often bottomed out and turned positive.

picture

Judging from the recent import amount and growth rate of representative countries in the world, the import amount of representative countries in the world improved slightly in November, and the growth rate rebounded slightly.

picture

China’s exports turned positive in November. In fact, the base in November last year was not low, indicating that China’s exports began to improve; At the same time, the export growth rate of export-oriented countries represented by India, Thailand, Vietnam and South Korea has also turned positive since October.

picture

On the whole, finding the direction of improving global demand and marginal improvement of China’s export growth rate has become an important idea for choosing industries in the first half of 2024.

Semiconductors and consumer electronics

Semiconductors and consumer electronics are typical global demand industries. Judging from the growth rate of global semiconductor sales in October, global semiconductor sales are close to turning positive. Due to the low base this year, the current innovation trend represented by artificial intelligence is in the ascendant. It is a high probability that the global semiconductor growth rate will turn into double-digit positive growth in 2024.

picture

Consumer electronics, represented by mobile phones, has also begun to pick up in the near future, and global smartphone shipments have nearly turned positive year-on-year in the third quarter. With the progress of artificial intelligence technology and the marginal improvement of external demand, it is expected that the global shipments of smartphones and other consumer electronics will turn positive in 2024.

picture

As China is the largest mobile phone manufacturer, in the context of marginal improvement in demand for smart phones in China and the world. At present, the growth rate of mobile phone production in China has returned to a higher level.

picture

Due to the obvious increase in the demand for computing power in the current artificial intelligence model, the hardware innovation trend based on the artificial intelligence model is expected to come next year. For example, AI mobile phone AI PC and other innovative hardware based on artificial intelligence are expected to launch and superimpose XR equipment represented by MR next year. It is also expected to start to increase shipments, and the semiconductor and consumer electronics fields are very in line with the comprehensive logic of domestic policy support, technological innovation trend and external demand improvement.

Industrial metal

Recently, with the slight improvement of global demand, the US dollar index has weakened, global commodity prices have steadily rebounded, and domestic commodity prices have also begun to stabilize and rebound. Domestic prices of copper and aluminum are positive in the fourth quarter compared with the same period of last year, and the performance is expected to continue to improve.

picture

Due to the supply pressure, the stocks of industrial metals such as zinc and aluminum are low at present. If the global demand starts to improve marginally, the upward elasticity of prices may be greater.

picture

?Automobile and parts

At present, the global automobile shows the general trend of electrification and intelligence. No matter whether it is electrification or intelligence, the advantages of China automobile enterprises in the world are gradually expanding. China’s share of new energy vehicles in the world continues to increase, driving China’s automobile export growth to maintain a high level.

On the domestic side, as the penetration rate of intelligent driving above L3 is promoted by Huawei cars, it is expected that next year will be the first year when the penetration rate of intelligent driving above L3 will exceed 5%. Driven by the general trend of intelligence, cars are also expected to maintain a high growth rate in domestic sales next year, and if global demand is superimposed to improve the prosperity of car sales and production next year, it is expected to remain at a high level.

?Summary: Look at the industry layout next year from the Central Economic Work Conference and recent macro clues.

The communique of the Central Economic Work Conference has been issued, which has important guidance for the choice of industry structure next year, and scientific and technological innovation has now become the most important support direction of the policy; The opportunities brought by stronger government expenditure are also worthy of attention. Judging from the recent macro-variable changes, the Federal Reserve will become loose next year, and the marginal improvement of external demand is a high probability event; Therefore, the layout of "technological innovation+export" and "technological innovation +To G" has become an important clue to the industry layout next year.

In 2024, the fiscal expenditure is expected to increase. From the perspective of the Central Economic Work Conference, new industrialization, digital economy and artificial intelligence: among them, the policy expression of artificial intelligence has changed, from safe development to "accelerated promotion". Strategic emerging industries focus on bio-manufacturing, commercial aerospace and low-altitude economy.; Expand the scope of local government special bonds used as capital (increase support for "three major projects" and "new urbanization"); It is necessary to take the improvement of technology, energy consumption and emission standards as the traction to promote large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods. Stabilize and expand traditional consumption and boost large-scale consumption of new energy vehicles and electronic products. Generally speaking,TMT, durable consumer goods, machinery and equipment, and some start-up chains.It is expected to become the direction and field supported by financial expenditure next year.

Recently, a series of statements by the Federal Reserve and the fall of the global inflation center have made it possible for 2024 to become a year of loose global money and liquidity. Recently, the US dollar index has also weakened significantly, reflecting the market expectation. In the past historical samples, when the US dollar index weakened and global liquidity became loose, the import growth rate of major countries in the world often bottomed out and turned positive. Recently, China’s export growth rate has turned positive against the background that the actual base is not low, which also reflects the improvement of China’s export demand. Judging from the improvement of global demand next year,Semiconductor and consumer electronics, industrial metals, household appliances, automobiles and parts.It is an area where marginal improvement is needed at home and abroad in the near future and exports are expected to continue to improve next year.

With the rapid development of large-scale models, it is an inevitable trend to integrate personal large-scale models with terminals.Since 2022, the generative AI technology based on large models has made a major breakthrough and developed rapidly, the performance of large models has been continuously improved, and multi-modal evolution has been continuously promoted. GPT-4 and Gemini have been formed abroad, and major domestic technology companies have also released their own large model products, with a significant trend of self-control. On the application side, it is difficult for the public big model to meet the personalized needs of thousands of people, and the computing load of the big model will inevitably sink from the cloud to the terminal, forming a personal big model that can better meet the personalized needs and deeply integrate with the mobile terminal, which is the inevitable trend of the development of the big model.

Compared with other devices, PC-side carrying personal big model has unique advantages.First of all, PC has full-mode human-computer interaction conditions. In addition to direct touch, voice and gesture interaction, traditional keyboard-mouse interaction and digital pen interaction provide users with more accurate and professional operation means, which enables large models to handle highly complex user tasks better and more accurately. Secondly, PC is a personal general-purpose device that carries the most scenes. Compared with other terminals such as mobile phones, PC has the most extensive application scenarios, and can undertake many tasks such as teleconferencing, graphic design, programming and multimedia production. It also has more functions and advanced options in professional tools, which can provide a richer working environment for large models. Thirdly, PC is by far the strongest personal computing platform, which has a balance between strong computing power and portability, and can realize the collaborative operation of heterogeneous computing power of CPU+NPU+GPU, and can deploy more complex and powerful AI models. Finally, PC is the most trusted and secure terminal with the largest storage capacity. In the process of interacting with AI, a large amount of personal data will be generated, which requires higher capacity and security. The PC has a large-capacity local secure storage, which puts forward a solution to this problem.

picture

As a personal AI assistant, AI PC has broad application prospects.After deep integration with the personal model, each AI PC is a tailor-made personal AI assistant with broad application prospects. AI PC can provide personalized creative services, private secretarial services and equipment housekeeping services for work, study and life, and improve work and study efficiency and quality of life. At the same time, due to the large model ability of AI PC application localization, it has the advantages of more timely response, lower cost, safer and more reliable, and can better play the role of personal AI assistant. In terms of product form, desktop computers, notebook computers and tablet computers can all be realized and can be flexibly combined to meet the different needs of users.

"online celebrity" quinoa under food security: It has the potential to become a new staple food.

  In recent years, quinoa has been labeled as "slimming" and "healthy" and has become a popular food in online celebrity. In fact, not only the nutritional value, but also the economic and ecological benefits of quinoa are of extraordinary strategic significance in the long run.

  Quinoa, which originated in the Andes of South America, has been settled in China for 35 years. Because of its excellent characteristics, many professionals think it has the "potential" to become a new staple food in the future.

  Kambuzhaxi, a professor at Tibet Agriculture and Animal Husbandry College, has been engaged in plateau quinoa research for more than 30 years. He told the First Financial Reporter that quinoa is a "golden grain" specially recommended by FAO, and the only single plant can meet all the basic nutritional needs of the human body. It will play an important role in eliminating hunger, malnutrition and poverty. In addition, it has natural stress tolerance (saline-alkali resistance, drought resistance, low temperature resistance and barren resistance), and can be planted on a large number of marginal lands to alleviate the pressure of ecological damage caused by grain production increase. These advantages are enough to make policy makers look at it differently.

  From introduction experiment to industrial planting

  In 1985, Bolivia, located in South America, gave quinoa to China as a national gift. Therefore, China became one of the first countries in the world to introduce and grow quinoa from South America, and the first area in China was Xizang Autonomous Region.

  Gombuzhaxi said that quinoa originated from Lake Titicaca in the Andes of South America, which is located on the Keao Plateau, with an altitude of more than 3,800 meters, close to that of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The two places belong to the plateau climate, and the geographical environment is almost the same, with little rain and cool, which is suitable for the introduction of quinoa. "There are many barren soils in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and quinoa is an ideal crop that can be widely promoted."

  In 1987, Kampot Tashi came into contact with quinoa seeds and began to try to introduce quinoa. Subsequently, a small-scale trial planting in Tibet was successful.

  Before the industrial planting of quinoa, it was a silence for more than 10 years. Gombuzhaxi explained: "After the successful trial planting in Tibet, limited transportation conditions, low consumption level and insufficient understanding of quinoa are not enough to support the industrialization of quinoa."

  However, during this period, Wu Xiangyun, whose WeChat name is "King of Quinoa" and who is called "Uncle Chenopodium", chose to try planting quinoa many times, and finally succeeded in breeding in Hengshan Mountain in Shanxi Province in 2010. Subsequently, he tried to plant quinoa in the village of Shupo Township, Jingle County, Shanxi Province, and achieved good results. Wu Xiangyun has thus become "the first person to plant quinoa industrially in China".

  Wu Xiangyun said that his major and industry are all related to agriculture. In November 1993, he began to pay attention to quinoa under the influence of an article on the all-round research of quinoa by NASA. Later, he discovered that the world’s top 500 food companies, such as Nestle and General Mills, were all involved in the research and production of quinoa products. After many international visits and interviews with many quinoa experts, Wu Xiangyun strengthened his confidence in promoting the market-oriented cultivation of quinoa in China and established Shanxi Jiaqi Agricultural Science and Technology Co., Ltd.

  Wu Xiangyun told the First Financial Reporter that the most crucial step in the industrialization of quinoa is to cultivate suitable varieties. From 2008 to 2011, their work was mainly carried out around selection, breeding and exploring planting techniques. After the successful trial planting, we began to try large-scale planting.

  Due to the pioneering of quinoa industrial planting and the strong support and promotion of Jingle county government, in 2013, the total planting scale of quinoa in Jingle county was expanded to 10,000 mu. In the ranking of non-native planting area in the world, Jingle county ranked second only to the United States and became the third largest quinoa planting base in the world. In August of the same year, Jingle County was awarded the title of "Hometown of Quinoa in China" by the Flower and Food Professional Committee of China Food Industry Association.

  More and more attention is paid to quinoa internationally, and it is regarded as "super food". In December 2011, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution to designate 2013 as the "International Year of Quinoa", aiming to draw the world’s attention to the role that the biodiversity and nutritional value of quinoa can play in providing food and nutritional security and eradicating poverty.

  The development momentum of quinoa industry is getting stronger and stronger.

  After the "International Year of Quinoa", quinoa has also attracted the attention of mainstream international scientists, and the basic biological research on quinoa has really begun. In China, the fans of quinoa have gradually increased, and the industrial development momentum has become more and more fierce. More than 20 provinces in China have carried out quinoa experiments and planting.

  According to the statistics of Quinoa Professional Committee of China Crop Society, since 2013, the planting area of quinoa in China has increased at an average annual rate of more than 30%. At present, the total planting area of quinoa in China is about 200 thousand mu.

  During the trial planting in these years, quinoa has also successfully moved from high altitude to plain. Due to the great improvement of growth conditions, some quinoa varieties with active growth can realize double cropping and continuous cropping in one year.

  From March to November, 2019, Shanghai Plant Stress Biology Research Center of China Academy of Sciences carried out the introduction, demonstration planting and variety selection of quinoa in Kashgar, Xinjiang, which successfully realized the planting of quinoa in the arid Gobi desert at low altitude for the first time, and also realized it twice a year in China for the first time. Through spring sowing and summer sowing, the yield per mu was nearly 1,000 kg.

  At the same time, the market demand of quinoa is strong, which also greatly promotes the production and processing of quinoa. In July 2015, the former State Grain Bureau issued the first quality standard of quinoa rice in China, LS/T 3245-2015, which can provide quality control basis for the production of quinoa rice and help to promote the orderly development of processed ingredients of quinoa rice.

  In addition, the application prospect of quinoa in China is not only edible, but also used for industrial development, such as lipstick, shampoo, body lotion and other cosmetic raw materials. The saponins in quinoa have a wide range of pharmacological and biological activities, which can be used as natural sweeteners, flavor enhancers and antioxidants, and will also play an important role in agriculture, medicine and other fields.

  In order to meet the domestic market demand, China has also liberalized the import of quinoa from the country of origin. On July 16, 2019, the General Administration of Customs issued Announcement No.120 of 2019 — — Announcement on Inspection and Quarantine Requirements for Imported Quinoa from Peru. Since the date of the announcement, it is allowed to import quinoa grains (including peeled quinoa seeds, quinoa powder and quinoa cereal) grown and processed in Peru.

  Significance of quinoa in the context of food security

  In recent years, quinoa has been highly praised for its "health" and "weight loss". Under the impact of new media propaganda, Ren Changyan, general manager of Shanghai Minlong Industrial Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Minlong Industry") also came into contact with quinoa.

  Although it is only in the last two or three years, Ren Changyan found that this industry has developed rapidly. Based on her keen intuition in the food processing industry for many years, she believes that there should be great room for future development of quinoa. As Minlong Industry actively responded to the call for aid to Xinjiang in 2010 and participated in Shanghai’s counterpart aid to Xinjiang, it was the first batch of Shanghai enterprises to help Xinjiang settle in Kashgar. When the quinoa project was demonstrated and planted in Kashgar in 2019, Ren Changyan became interested.

  She said that as a Shanghai enterprise that has invested in Kashgar for 10 years, Minlong Industry has the ability and is willing to do a good job in deep processing of quinoa. At present, enterprises are developing new quinoa products such as light meal powder and energy bar.

  The motivation for food enterprises to actively participate in the field of deep processing stems from the characteristics of quinoa itself and the market value of quinoa products. Quinoa seed can meet the basic nutritional needs of adults, and has a long-term and significant effect on improving the nutritional and health status of the population in poor areas. It is also a good food source for the elderly, diabetics, fitness and gluten-sensitive people. However, because the global output of quinoa is far from meeting the demand, the price of raw grain of quinoa is more than 10 times that of wheat in the current international market.

  The selection of the above-mentioned quinoa project for trial planting in Kashgar is of great strategic significance for ensuring national food security and ecological security.

  Zhu Jiankang, director of Shanghai Plant Stress Biology Research Center of China Academy of Sciences and academician of American Academy of Sciences, said in an exclusive interview with CBN reporter that quinoa contains high protein and balanced nutrition, which is comparable to meat, eggs and milk in terms of protein content and quality. If people can ingest more protein from quinoa crops, the demand for meat, eggs and milk will be reduced accordingly, thus slowing down the import of foreign soybeans and soybean meal, and the path of transforming protein through aquaculture is obviously inefficient. From the point of view of providing protein, although quinoa is only a special minority crop at present, the domestic planting area is less than 200,000 mu, but from the perspective of its development momentum, it still has great potential.

  He said: "I believe quinoa will become a new staple food variety in the future, but at present, there is still a long way to go." Moreover, for the two kinds of rations, wheat and rice, the people have formed corresponding eating habits for many years and have certain dependence. Quinoa will not completely replace a staple food, but only partially. "

  Zhang Hui, a part-time researcher at the Shanghai Plant Stress Biology Research Center of China Academy of Sciences, told the First Financial Reporter that quinoa has remarkable stress tolerance, so it can cultivate suitable varieties in saline-alkali land and arid and semi-arid areas, and then use a lot of marginal land for planting, which is equivalent to increasing the available arable land in disguise. At the same time, planting Chenopodium album saves a lot of fresh water resources, which is very rare for arid areas in northwest China. From the point of view of developing animal husbandry, the whole plant of quinoa has high protein content and good quality. As dry feed or silage, the effect of promoting milk production of cattle and sheep is not lower than other high-quality forage. If quinoa can be successfully introduced, its significance to food security will be limitless.

  At present, there are still bottlenecks in the industrialization of quinoa in China. For example, due to low output, prices remain high; In the process of planting, there is no herbicide available, so manual weeding is needed, which greatly increases the planting cost, and there is also a seasonal shortage of manpower. The supporting machinery needed for planting has not been well solved.

  But Wu Xiangyun also said that breeding is actually the fundamental way to solve these problems, especially resistance, yield and herbicide tolerance, which can be solved through breeding.

The United States intends to strengthen legislation and law enforcement to standardize AI development

 ChatGPT, a chat robot developed by OpenAI, has risen rapidly, attracting a large number of fans, and at the same time attracting many competitors including Budd chat robot of Google. The picture shows the seminar on ChatGPT organized by the media service of public education school (data photo).

  ◎ reporter Liu Xia

  In a recent report, the US Capitol Hill website pointed out that the explosive growth of generative artificial intelligence (AI) such as ChatGPT, and the resulting confusion such as the proliferation of false information, prejudice, and changing the labor structure, triggered the concerns of the US federal government. Lawmakers and regulators hope to take concrete actions to eliminate these concerns.

  Cause two key problems

  The Capitol Hill website reported that the development of AI may cause two key problems.

  On the one hand, the recent rise of generative AI tools has brought problems related to the spread of false information. On the other hand, AI that powers automation systems may lead to discrimination.

  The British magazine New Scientist also pointed out that ChatGPT and other chat bots often make factual mistakes, quote completely fictional events or articles, fabricate sexual harassment scandals and falsely accuse real people in cases. The use of ChatGPT has also led to data privacy scandals, involving the disclosure of confidential company data. In addition, images, audio and even videos generated by AI may also lead to large-scale "deep fraud" information, which is proved by the arrest of former US President Trump and the false AI composite photos of Pope Francis wearing fashionable white down jackets.

  The call for strengthening law enforcement is rising.

  The US Federal Trade Commission, the Civil Rights Department of the Ministry of Justice, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recently issued a joint statement saying that in view of the increasing use of AI in a series of services, from housing to medical care, they promised to strengthen the enforcement of existing laws, including aiming at solving the possible discrimination of AI and formulating new regulations on development rules.

  Charlotte burrows, president of EEOC, said that the use of advanced technologies, including AI, must comply with federal laws.

  Of course, the joint statement of these institutions mainly focuses on automated systems that use AI, rather than generative AI like ChatGPT.

  Even so, the website of Capitol Hill pointed out in the report, with the soaring popularity of ChatGPT and other chat bots, Google and other companies are constantly launching new products that compete with them. In addition, a group of entrepreneurs including Tesla and Twitter CEO elon musk are also rushing into the industry, which may lead to noise and turmoil, which also highlights the urgent need for policy makers to take relevant measures.

  To cope with the risks brought by AI, the US Congress will weigh the formulation of new laws and regulations, and institutions should also increase the enforcement of existing laws. Because even where existing laws are applicable, it may be difficult to enforce these laws because of the way the AI system works. For example, algorithmic recruitment tools may lead to discrimination, but it is difficult for employees to know whether they have been systematically discriminated against. Therefore, the problems that institutions need to solve are not only how to apply the law, but also how to deal with the challenges brought by the law enforcement process, and how these AI systems will affect the real world.

  Christine Clark, Assistant Minister of Justice in charge of civil rights affairs, also stressed that AI poses a great threat to all kinds of discrimination problems in today’s society, which need more in-depth research and review by policy makers and others.

  Safety management is imperative.

  Earlier this month, US senators announced a proposal to establish a framework for AI regulation, aiming at improving transparency and accountability. In addition, legislators are also prepared to take action to put pressure on the industry on the risks related to the rise of AI technology.

  The Senate Intelligence Committee recently wrote to the CEOs of ChatGPT developers OpenAI, Metauniverse Platform Company, Google, Anthropic and Microsoft, asking them how to deal with security risks when developing large-scale AI models.

  The letter wrote that with the increasing use of AI in most fields and the possibility of the steady integration of large-scale language models into a series of existing systems from medical care to financial sector, it is urgent to emphasize the security issues in the use of AI.

  In response to questions raised by some senators about how to use AI, a spokesman for the American Consumer Technology Association said that the association has been "contributing to the formulation of AI policies, standards and frameworks" with its members.

  Craig Albright, vice president of the American Software Alliance in charge of US government relations, said that Congress can require companies to formulate risk management plans, conduct risk assessments on high-risk use of AI, and define what high-risk cases are, while companies need to conduct impact assessments and design assessments to ensure that they do the right thing.
