[Editor’s note] Recently, the Autonavi map released a laughing version. In addition to the ability to routinely broadcast basic navigation actions such as "slowing down, turning, and reaching the destination", the biggest feature is that it can prompt real-time traffic information in Guo Degang’s unique teasing language according to the scene.

Many people are curious: why Guo Degang? Is "Turn right at the intersection ahead, you must not go wrong" a complete sentence that has been recorded long ago? The following article is based on the oral content of "Flower Underpants", one of Autonavi’s map product managers.

Driving navigation has now become an important channel for people to interact with mobile maps, and because of the uniqueness of driving scenarios, voice navigation has become an important function for mobile maps to play a guiding role. We signed Lin Zhiling as a spokesperson before and created the concept of "celebrity voice navigation". Lin Zhiling, as the "Muse" spokesperson of Autonavi maps, has a very unique voice navigation to help Autonavi maps enhance the reputation of many brands, but many female friends have expressed the need for a new voice other than Lin Zhiling.

Driving is actually a very boring and boring thing many times, especially in Beijing. If Lin Zhiling’s standard "baby voice" is not your cup of tea, then you may need a new navigation voice to "refresh".

Our cooperation with Guo Degang started in the second half of last year, and the selection of Guo Degang is actually a win-win situation: as a travel map application with more than 300 million users, Guo Degang’s endorsement is a strong addition to its own exposure; and for Autonavi, Guo Degang’s identity as a famous cross talk artist is in line with the product characteristics – professional and funny. Internet tool applications have developed to this day, and there is no much differentiation in basic capabilities. Humanization, entertainment, and personalization have become new ways to differentiate competition. Guo Degang is undoubtedly an excellent choice to generate chemical reactions with Autonavi maps.

I remember that in a navigation voice star selection poll held by Baidu Maps at the end of last year, Lin Zhiling Guo Degang won the first or second place. In fact, before Baidu Maps launched its research, we had already done relevant research. Combined with the product characteristics of navigation voice, we had already foreseen such results. The list of artists who are suitable for navigation and have appeal is actually not many, but it also proves that the two we signed do represent the needs and voices of users.

On December 18 last year, the happy navigation conference of Autonavi Maps was officially held. On that day, we witnessed the DAU of Autonavi Maps hit a record high. The whole city and major social media were talking about Guo Degang providing voice navigation for Autonavi Maps. We knew at that time that we signed Guo Degang correctly, and "Autonavi Gang" became another successful Internet product endorsement case. Since the two parties announced their cooperation on December 18, 2014, the product active level of Autonavi Maps has continued to rise – among them, the rate of new users has increased by 230%, the number of daily active users has increased by 36%, and the highest ranking of Autonavi Maps on the Apple App Store list has also rushed to the second place.

Many users are wondering why Guo Degang and Lin Zhiling can broadcast such complex place names, roads, and navigational movements for us. In fact, we use a TTS Text To Speech technology.

In the early stages of production, we would record some of the star’s fixed sentence pronunciation in the studio. There were about 2,000 such key sentences. Lin Zhiling spent three days recording in Taiwan at that time, and Teacher Guo also recorded it for nearly three days, which was very hard. Then, we will analyze their sentence and voice, extract their respective pronunciation rules, voiceprint details, tone and intonation and other characteristics, and use a series of complex algorithms to carry out Text To Speech, in order to fill in the lack of various "variable words" in the navigation voice, so as to form a complete and smooth star voice navigation voice.

In comparison to Lin Zhiling, Mr. Guo’s voice navigation version also added various funny jokes, such as "There are vehicles in front, don’t touch the cars that shouldn’t be touched!", "There are many accidents in front, and the tanks are all knocked over!" and so on, so Mr. Guo’s workload is also particularly large, and the content of all kinds of jokes is also brainstormed by various departments of our Autonavi map and the majority of netizens. Through the participation of Mr. Guo Degang, determine the jokes to be put into the navigation voice, and reduce them to an appropriate length to decide which navigation actions to appear in.

At the same time, we have also launched several popular dialect navigation voice packages, which are indeed personalized needs for some users. However, according to user feedback, the synthesis effect of Lin Zhiling, Guo Degang, and dialect navigation voice is still very good, especially the star voice, which has star characteristics and a high degree of synthesis reduction. Fans of Lin Zhiling and Guo Degang also like it, and they are very sure of our technical level.

At present, Autonavi is also the only Internet map manufacturer in China that can provide full voice navigation of celebrities. Friends are indeed lacking in this regard. They spend a lot of money to sign celebrities but only use 7 sentences from others, and switch voice guidance back and forth with standard female voices, which sounds very divisive.

There is another episode: this upgrade of Guo Degang’s navigation voice laughter version not only enhances the quantity and quality of Guo Degang’s sections, but also adds a random section function to various important navigation scenarios. For example, in the sharp turn prompt scenario, a total of 5 prompt sections in the voice library are randomly selected and played, which can increase the fun and make users feel happy. But it is such a seemingly simple change that places great pressure on research and development: the addition of random voice functions requires major changes or even rewrites to the traditional architecture and logic of the SDK, and as a PM, it has been under great pressure, but in the end, the R & D team completed the launch of this function under the impetus of cans of X cattle (and PM) – so a good voice navigation also requires a motivated and willing team.

Recently, Lin Chiling was ridiculed as "Navigation Muse" when she participated in the Dragon TV show "Sister Pattern", which surprised us who did not put this show at all. Therefore, celebrity endorsement should be like this: to achieve a win-win situation for the brand power of both stars and products, that is, to establish a strong connection between the public, and become each other’s attribution and label.

But at the same time, I also think that a good voice navigation is not just Lin Zhiling and Guo Degang. When AutoNavi released Guo Degang’s version of the voice navigation laughter version on March 13, Dong Zhenning, vice president of Autonavi, said: "If we want to do a professional voice navigation, we need to pay attention to four points. The first point is precision; the second point is intelligence; the third is humanization; and the fourth is entertainment."

We believe that the "four modernizations" should be a progressive relationship: precision refers to the fact that the underlying data supporting the navigation module must be complete and accurate, which is the foundation of the product. Autonavi has nearly 13 years of professional experience in this field; and on the basis of accurate data, it can use big data technology implementation "intelligence" to provide pain point functions such as avoiding congestion and route selection planning; humanization is the pursuit of the ultimate experience, such as the timing of voice prompts is just right, and the threshold for user understanding is low. And the final entertainment is to introduce various elements such as celebrity fun voice, so that users can enjoy professional services while also feeling happy from the heart.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, July 29 (reporters Ding Yawen, Li Ting, Hu Jiefei) Recently, there have been many controversies about the quality and safety of the food sold by community groups buying supply channels. Many consumers report that they buy products of unknown origin on community e-commerce platforms; some consumers report that they see community group buying staff sorting and repackaging expired products.

　　According to the "official" statement of some community e-commerce companies, their "high quality and low price" is achieved by "direct procurement from the place of origin" and reducing intermediate costs. However, the reporter’s investigation found that this statement seems untenable. What are the "hidden corners" of community group buying? Can food safety be guaranteed? The reporter visited on the spot and interviewed all relevant parties in the industrial chain to restore the true ecology of community group buying.

　　"Direct mining from origin" is mostly the slogan "wholesale distribution" is the mainstream

　　According to the description of some community e-commerce companies, most of the agricultural products they sell are supplied by "direct procurement from the place of origin". The company has a "supply chain system of origin", which can ensure "quality from the source".

　　When the reporter visited wholesale markets such as Xinfadi in Beijing and Hongqi Farmers’ Trade in Tianjin, he found multiple community group buying and distribution trucks. Some suppliers and drivers told reporters that some merchants in the market supply to multiple platforms at the same time. Community group buying trucks usually pull goods at night, complete sorting work in the warehouse at night, and deliver to the "head" the next day.

　　"We are a first-class supplier, and the fruit we sell is directly pulled from the local cooperative. The big community group buying platforms all buy from us. If you plan to do group buying, just come to us to buy, even if it is directly from the place of origin," said one supplier.

　　Yang Tiantian, deputy secretary-general of the Commerce and Logistics Branch of the China Chamber of Commerce, introduced that the supply of goods for community group buying mainly comes from two channels: one is direct procurement from the place of origin, and the other is wholesale purchase. Direct procurement from the place of origin is very difficult. Enterprises need to have the control ability of the entire supply chain. They need "three major warehouses" of origin warehouses, transit warehouses and front warehouses, and the investment cost is very high. Among the current community e-commerce enterprises, most of them only have front warehouses, which cannot realize direct procurement from the place of origin at all.

　　Zhuang Shuai, founder of Bailian Consulting, believes that "wholesale-distribution" is the mainstream business model of community group buying enterprises. Compared with traditional e-commerce and "home" models, community group buying has a short inventory cycle, distribution does not require "single delivery", and warehousing management and logistics costs are relatively low, which is also the biggest advantage of community group buying. It is estimated that the warehousing and logistics costs of community group buying are at least half lower than those of traditional e-commerce.

　　Ben Ning, general manager of the operation center of the original life network, said that the meaning of direct procurement from the origin is that retailers break the traditional multi-layer circulation system and directly purchase products from the origin. If you choose direct procurement from the origin, then retailers need to bear all the risks of the circulation and sales of agricultural products, including the risk of inversion of the sales price and the purchase price. Therefore, few retailers actually carry out direct procurement from the origin.

　　The picture shows the pickup point of a community group buying platform in a supermarket in Beijing

　　Under the price advantage, can the bottom line of food safety be maintained?

　　Recently, there have been many discussions about the safety of community group buying food. Some netizens reported that they bought counterfeit and shoddy products from the community group buying platform, and the products they bought were expired, moldy, and the products were "short of weight".

　　Some netizens reported that they saw community group buying staff sorting out the expired products in the warehouse and repackaging them for sale. Some netizens searched according to the address of the manufacturer on the outer packaging of the food, but found that there was no manufacturer at all.

　　Industry insiders told reporters that in order to reduce the end point price of products, community e-commerce is competing to lower costs, coupled with relatively weak supervision and spot checks, which is the main reason for the frequent occurrence of food safety problems.

　　In interviews, some fruit and vegetable suppliers said that due to the serious price reduction of the platform, most high-end fruit and vegetable suppliers cannot cooperate with community e-commerce. Some suppliers may choose smaller, less glossy and lower-grade fruits and vegetables to supply to the platform.

　　A supplier of cold chain products told reporters that the quotation given to them by community e-commerce was lower than the cost price, and they could not cooperate at all. "At first, we didn’t understand why they could sell the price so low, but later found that some platforms bought temporary products, replaced them with their own packaging and resold them. Changing the packaging can be’flexible ‘for many things, and the origin and production date can be’blurred’."

　　"Our manufacturer does not allow the platform to change the outer packaging. But I know that many suppliers in the industry allow changes. When changing the packaging, the supplier will sign a contract with the platform, and if there is a problem with the product in the future, the platform will take full responsibility." A fresh products supplier said.

　　How can emerging business models innovate supervision? Guide the healthy development of the industry

　　Industry insiders said that community group buying, as an emerging business, has been much sought after by various capitals in recent years. Due to the lack of necessary supervision, the development of the industry has fallen into the dilemma of brutal growth and chaos. It is recommended to innovate the regulatory system and build a governance system involving the government, platforms and consumers to promote the healthy development of community group buying.

　　Pan Helin, executive dean of the Digital Economy Research Institute of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, believes that the "low price" and "excessive subsidy" of community group buying can be classified as unfair competition, and whether it is suspected of dumping can be judged by referring to the average price of market transactions. In terms of laws and regulations, our country has revised and improved the Anti-Unfair Competition Law in 2019. At present, it is necessary to speed up the improvement of market competition rules, promote the revision of the Antimonopoly Act, and speed up the introduction of anti-monopoly guidelines in the field of platform economy and online transaction supervision and management measures.

　　"In terms of food safety, it is appropriate to make it clear that the responsibility for food safety belongs to the platform side. As long as the responsible party is clear, the distribution area can supervise the quality of the goods, but in practice, it is also necessary to establish a convenient consumer feedback mechanism, such as handling food quality issues through consumer associations, because the trigger point for food safety is often not surprise inspections, but consumer complaints," Pan Helin said.

　　Li Yanchuan, chairperson of the joint stock company in Beijing, suggested that local regulators could increase sampling of food sold by community ecommerce. "Regulators will conduct sampling inspections of products sold in supermarkets every month. It is recommended to conduct sampling inspections of products sold by community ecommerce at the same frequency to implement the main responsibility of the platform."

　　Ma Liang, a researcher at the National Institute of Development and Strategy of Renmin University of China, believes that the supervision of community group buying needs to strengthen cross-departmental coordination and linkage to avoid fragmentation and fragmentation resulting in inefficient supervision.

　　For users and rice fans who are used to Xiaomi’s business model, Xiaomi will probably not be surprised to launch any products. Recently, Xiaomi released another Xiaomi portable flashlight with a very simple design. In addition to being used as a flashlight, it can also be used as a mobile power supply.

　　First, appearance

　　The white lower part is the lanyard hole, USB-A output port, MicroUSB charging port and power button. The USB output port allows Xiaomi portable flashlight to function as a power bank.

　　The Xiaomi portable flashlight adopts an upper and lower two-stage design, which is simple and simple. It is worth mentioning that the material of this portable flashlight is aluminum alloy.

　　Model: PB01ZM

　　Input/Output: 5V/1A

　　Test

Charging with the original Mi 6 charger, the ChargerLAB POWER-Z KT001 shows a 5V/1A input, and it is estimated that it will take about 3 hours to fully charge.

　　In terms of input, for the output capacity of 5V/1A, almost all mobile phone charging concepts on the market are compatible with this product. Here are the standard chargers of several brands of mobile phones tested, and the charging power can reach more than 5W.

　　Charge the iPhone8 Plus, the same 5V/1A output. It should be noted that this product defaults to giving priority to the flashlight function. For example, if the flashlight is turned on when charging the phone with the USB port, the USB port output will be stopped.

　　In terms of output, Xiaomi flashlights can also support many devices. In the ranks of portable flashlights, the function of having a USB port output port is a good selling point. Although the power of mobile phone charging is small, it is enough to solve the problem of emergency charging.

"Fast and stable" to solve the battery anxiety of mobile phone users

– Exploring the quality code of Xiaomi’s ultimate innovation system for charging technology

Our reporter, Yue Qian

How to charge quickly is a must-have option in modern life, not only to be able to charge, but also as fast as possible. Xiaomi’s super fast charging technology has brought unexpected surprises to consumers: it only takes 8 minutes to fill a 4000mAh battery, enough to use normally for a whole day.

Xiaomi’s innovation has relieved people of the need to worry about running out of battery power on their mobile phones.

Imagine what you can do in the 8 minutes after getting up in the morning? Have a cup of coffee to refresh yourself? Simply stretch? Or take a shower? For Xiaomi’s phone, these 8 minutes are enough to power it up for the new day.

From the world’s first 120W wired fast charging technology to the world’s first 200W charging technology, Xiaomi has brought mobile phone charging into the "8-minute era", truly achieving a "qualitative change" in the charging experience, and allowing more and more users to completely bid farewell to power anxiety.

Behind this technological change is the ultimate innovation system of mobile phone charging technology launched by Xiaomi since September 2018. In just over two years, Xiaomi has completed the change from "chaser" to "transcendent" to "leader" in the field of mobile phone charging with the spirit of self-evolution, and once again verified the strong driving force of Xiaomi’s "user-centered" quality improvement concept.

The reporter conducted in-depth interviews with the ultimate innovation system of mobile phone charging technology to explore the quality code of Xiaomi’s charging technology evolution iteration.

Quality password one:

Driving technological innovation with user feedback

What is the driving force of technological innovation and quality improvement? At Xiaomi, this answer has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people – user-centered, with the ultimate goal of pursuing the ultimate user experience. For the research and development of charging technology, it is not only to make mobile phone charging faster and more stable, but also to make the charging experience better and cooler.

In the process of technological improvement, Xiaomi innovatively built the UIOCT system of charging technology. The system is based on improving the user’s charging experience, taking user feedback and pain points as the starting point and driving force for continuous technological innovation, and ending with the landing of new products requested by users. "For charging technology research and development, the user is the starting point and the end point" – this is the consensus of the charging technology team.

In order to truly understand the needs of users, the charging technology team collects user feedback and suggestions through various channels such as Xiaomi community, service system, customer service phone, etc., analyzes user pain points and makes improvements one by one. Many problems do not have ready-made solutions to learn from, and the team can only explore in the "no man’s land", through continuous trial and error to find the most satisfactory solution for users.

Can charging be faster? This is the common expectation of mobile phone users. Under the condition of existing lithium batteries, Xiaomi has created a multi-level progressive current regulation technology in the industry, which can refine the charging current step by step, effectively increasing the charging speed by more than 10%.

When charging, it generates heat, which is caused by the characteristics of the lithium battery of the mobile phone, and it is also a problem in the industry. Is it a detour or a face-to-face difficulty? Xiaomi’s engineers chose the latter and innovatively developed a dual-mode switching control technology, allowing users to adaptively switch the charging mode according to the usage scenario, effectively dispersing hotspots and bringing a better temperature rise experience.

Nowadays, in order to improve the battery power of mobile phones, mainstream manufacturers almost all adopt the "dual-cell" solution, but with it, the battery loss increases and the battery life is reduced. This is also the reason why users complain that "charging fast and falling fast". In this regard, Xiaomi once again broke out of the new track and innovatively developed the single-cell charging chip Surging P1, which makes the battery cell density higher and the battery life longer, achieving "both fish and bear’s paw".

In order to make charging more convenient, Xiaomi customized a fast charging cable. Considering that users may use other brands of charging plugs, engineers have carried out a large number of self-developed designs while also taking into account the charging compatibility of the cable. For all mainstream brands of chargers and mobile phones on the market, they have done technical tests. "This job is completely to make it more convenient for users to use." In order to solve the problem of incompatible charging plugs of a certain brand, engineers worked overtime until late at night for several days, and finally solved the problem, so as to ensure that users can enjoy a fast and stable charging experience no matter which charging plug they use.

It is worth mentioning that while solving users’ charging pain points, Xiaomi has also created a charging experience that exceeds expectations for users through technological innovation, and even changed consumers’ charging habits. Taking 200W second charging technology as an example, you can fully charge your phone in the morning, and you no longer have to worry about forgetting to charge. "Once you have this experience, you (users) can’t go back," the team leader said proudly.

Establishment of an Interdisciplinary Expert Review Committee (TMG)

For a long time, the field of mobile phone charging technology has faced the "28 dilemma", that is, high-current charging time only accounts for 20% of the total charging time, but can charge 80% of the power; constant-voltage charging time accounts for 80% of the total charging time, and can only charge 20% of the power.

In order to solve the "28 dilemma", it involves charging solutions, charging chips, charging equipment and other departments and fields, each with its own technical difficulties and bottlenecks. In the face of new technical solutions, different departments will have different views. On the one hand is the solution to the problem that has been hard to come up with, and on the other hand is the latent risk that may arise. Should we continue or give up?

At the "crossroads" of technology, the cross-disciplinary expert review committee (TMG) built on Xiaomi’s organizational structure plays a key role.

Engineer Jiang Helin introduced that in order to break through the "28 dilemma", the Xiaomi charging technology team finally discussed and came up with the MI-FC solution idea of "increasing the voltage value of the battery and prolonging the charging time of high current" through dozens of brainstorms. However, increasing the voltage will cause risks such as excessive oxidation, resulting in shorter battery life.

Experts in different fields in TMG jointly review the technical solution from objectives, risks to feasibility, leadership and other dimensions. In the technical pre-research stage, TMG can accurately and quickly determine the solution; in terms of solving technical differences, TMG can upgrade the device pre-research to the whole machine charging pre-research, realizing from a single partial design to overall performance debugging, thereby improving the user experience.

Specific to the MI-FC technical solution, TMG experts anticipate that the solution is feasible and recommend that aging tests be carried out as soon as possible to verify whether there is a risk of excessive oxidation. After a series of work such as proofing and testing, the team spent more than 5 months to finally formulate a feasible plan. Due to sufficient pre-research, the plan was successfully transplanted to the device-level project, which greatly reduced the time required to develop the device and fully guaranteed the research and development efficiency.

Not only the MI-FC technical solution, but also the more than 800 patents applied by the project team are inseparable from the technical assistance of TMG. TMG comprehensively considers and evaluates various technical solutions to ensure the accuracy of the research and development direction and escort the overall innovation of mobile phone charging technology.

Quality password three:

The research and development of excellence

In the process of reaching the peak of technology, the Xiaomi charging technology team also encountered many difficulties, but every time they relied on uncompromising research and development determination to successfully break through.

Li Min, an engineer at the baseband technology department of the hardware R & D department, said that in order to achieve 120W second charging, Xiaomi specially developed a custom charging chip. But less than four months before mass production, the chip temperature was too high. "There was too much pressure at that time, but we had to find out the reason." Li Min said that Xiaomi has never been vague about the quality requirements of the product.

The team and suppliers sorted out all possible reasons from hardware to software, and the technicians directly entered the factory to conduct nearly a month of non-stop testing, troubleshooting problems one by one, and conducting 500 to 700 stress tests on each batch of new samples (under normal circumstances, only one stress testing is required). Finally, the yield of customized chips was reduced from the highest 1000ppm to less than 50ppm, fundamentally solving the quality risk of chips, and bringing the most advanced charging experience to the long-awaited users as scheduled.

In the eyes of the engineers of Xiaomi’s charging technology team, records are meant to be broken. After achieving the 120W second charging technology, Xiaomi continued to explore the "no man’s land" in the field of second charging technology and began the research and development of the 200W second charging technology.

In order to avoid the short circuit problem that may be caused by high-power charging, the team needs to minimize the thickness of the battery pole pieces and minimize the transmission path, which brings great challenges to the processing process of the battery pole pieces. To this end, the engineers started from various aspects such as equipment improvement and process improvement. After many tuning on more than 6,000 batteries, they solved many problems such as pole piece fracture and curling. Finally, they successfully developed a 10C pole piece with a thickness of only half of the traditional pole piece, which is about the thickness of a piece of A4 paper. "At present, only Xiaomi can do it in the industry." Jiang Helin said proudly.

Those who win are powerful, and those who win are strong. In the eyes of reporters, Xiaomi’s charging technology is already leading the industry. But Xiaomi is putting pressure on itself to compete with itself in the "no man’s land" and constantly surpass itself, which is very commendable. For industrial development, this "leader" is leading the industrial chain, supply chain and quality chain to achieve a comprehensive leap, promoting the high-quality development of the smartphone industry, and accumulating more positive energy for China’s manufacturing "quality revolution".

"China Quality News"

On the evening of June 2, CCTV Financial Channel exposed the industry behind the second-hand air conditioner renovation fraud.

In this news program, CCTV gave a rare thumbs up to Xiaomi Air Conditioning. The content of the news was about Beijing issuing subsidies for the trade-in of smart consumer goods. The report said that Xiaomi became the object of everyone’s praise. The report also mentioned that the service of Xiaomi Air Conditioning is very good. When you buy Xiaomi Air Conditioning, when the new machine is delivered, the installer will remove the original old machine and directly install the new machine to complete the trade-in in one stop.

After the CCTV coverage, Lei Jun first reprinted the news to his Weibo. After the CCTV report, Xiaomi air conditioner caused a heated discussion on the Internet.

According to the data, millet air conditioner has quietly become a market giant, 2024Q1 overall shipments reached 690,000 units, an increase of 63%. The industry forecasts that the shipment of millet air conditioner will reach 7 million units in 2024.

Xiaomi air conditioner has led Gree

In the hot season, the air-conditioning market also ushered in the annual sales feast. When the bell of 618 rang, a contest between air-conditioning and technology began quietly, and the result of this battle shocked the entire industry – 618 air-conditioning sales ranking: Xiaomi No. 1, Gree No. 5, a new era seems to be coming quietly.

The Xiaomi brand was originally closely linked to smartphones, but in just six years, it has run a remarkable trajectory as a new horse in the air-conditioning industry. In the summer of 2018, Xiaomi ventured into the air-conditioning field for the first time. For this challenging market, Xiaomi is like a passionate explorer, with a unique understanding of intelligent life, stepping into this territory that seems to have been divided by giants.

Its star product, Xiaomi’s giant power-saving air conditioner, is the secret weapon in this counterattack war. With its ultra-high energy efficiency ratio and intelligent experience, Xiaomi air conditioner quickly captured the hearts of young consumers. On the hot-selling list of JD.com 618, this air conditioner is based on the trust of more than 1 million users. It sold 20,000 units only three days before the event, topped the chart continuously, and wrote a legend from nobody to king.

Xiaomi’s success is not just the accumulation of numbers, but also the result of profound insight into market demand. Behind every air conditioner sold is a family’s desire to improve the quality of smart life and trust in Xiaomi’s brand concept. Through the characteristics of intelligent interconnection, energy conservation and environmental protection, Xiaomi air conditioners have attracted modern families’ yearning for green and healthy life, and have successfully found their place at the intersection of traditional and emerging consumer concepts.

On the other hand, Gree, once known as the air conditioner kingdom, is a little powerless in the face of a rising star like Xiaomi. Although Gree Yunjia series air conditioners attack with a new level of energy efficiency and affordable prices, and even reduce the price to 2699 yuan over the years, in the fierce competition of 618, only more than 10,000 units are sold. The halo of the former hegemon, under the impact of new forces, appears to be a little dim.

Recalling the "clash" between Dong Mingzhu and Lei Jun in public many years ago, Dong Mingzhu bluntly said that Xiaomi was an "OEM" and questioned Lei Jun’s business model. However, today, the market has given a different answer. Xiaomi has not only established a foothold in the field of smartphones, but also broke through in the air-conditioning market. Sales surpassed Gree and approached the throne of traditional giants, which is undoubtedly a powerful response to the remarks of that year.

The rise of Xiaomi air conditioners is not only a victory of technology and innovation, but also a manifestation of consumer choice. The ebb and flow of Xiaomi and Gree may be a microcosm of the overture of the old and new in the home appliance industry, indicating that the future air conditioner market will pay more attention to the integration of innovation, energy conservation and intelligence, and all of this will be determined by the remote control in the hands of consumers.

Building air conditioners with the idea of making mobile phones

The beginning of the story of Xiaomi’s air conditioner can be traced back to 2018, an era when the concept of smart home was surging. Xiaomi, the company known as the "king of cost performance", has built a huge smart ecological empire through smartphones, TVs, bracelets and other products. However, Lei Jun and his team did not stop there. They were keenly aware that in the field of smart home, there is still a blue ocean waiting to be conquered – the home air conditioner market.

At that time, the traditional air-conditioning industry was already a red sea, with fierce competition and serious homogeneity. But Xiaomi saw the difference, and they believed that with their deep accumulation of smart hardware and Internet of Things technology, they could bring disruptive changes to this traditional industry. So a bold idea quietly sprouted within Xiaomi: to create a true smart air conditioner, so that the cool wind of technology can blow into thousands of households.

In July 2018, the first product of Xiaomi Air Conditioning – "Mijia Internet Air Conditioning" was officially launched. This is not only an air conditioner, but also an important part of Xiaomi’s smart home ecosystem. It is equipped with Xiaomi’s own intelligence system, and users can realize remote control, intelligent adjustment, voice control and other functions only through the mobile APP, completely breaking the operating barriers of traditional air conditioners.

But behind this is the countless technical research and market surveys of the Xiaomi team. From the optimization of cooling and heating efficiency, to the innovation of appearance design, to the seamless connection of intelligent Internet technology, every step is full of challenges. Especially in ensuring product performance, how to maintain Xiaomi’s consistent high cost performance has become a major problem for the team. In the end, through the deep integration of the supply chain and the fine management of cost control, Xiaomi air conditioners made a stunning appearance at a very competitive price and quickly attracted the attention of the market.

The success of Xiaomi Air Conditioning has not stopped Xiaomi. Lei Jun’s ambitions are greater than imagined, and the excellence of a single product cannot represent the whole. The real competitiveness lies in building a complete smart home ecosystem. Therefore, Xiaomi Air Conditioning has begun to deeply link with other Xiaomi ecological chain products, such as cooperating with the Xiaomi Mi Band to automatically adjust the temperature according to the user’s sleep state; combining with Xiao Ai’s smart speaker to achieve voice control throughout the house, making smart life within reach.

This series of layout makes Xiaomi air conditioner no longer just a cold home appliance, but a warm and convenient intelligent life assistant in every family. Sales of Xiaomi air conditioners have also been rising. According to public data, since its launch in 2018, Xiaomi air conditioner business has maintained an average annual growth of more than 30%. By the end of 2021, the cumulative sales volume has exceeded the 5 million unit mark, successfully occupying a place in the highly competitive air conditioner market.

In the future, with the further integration of 5G, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and other technologies, Xiaomi’s air conditioning business may go further.

What did Gree Xiaomi do right?

In just a few years, Xiaomi Air Conditioning has risen from the edge of the industry to the bright focus of the mainstream stage. So, what is Xiaomi Air Conditioning doing right by surpassing Gree?

When you sit in the office and whisper to your phone: "Xiao Ai, turn the air conditioner at home to 25 degrees." The Xiaomi air conditioner at home seems to have a heart-to-heart connection and starts slowly. When you return home, you will be greeted by a cool room. This is the first type of Xiaomi air conditioner to take the lead in the rivers and lakes – the intelligent design concept.

The Xiaomi air conditioner is not just a heating and cooling regulator, it is the guardian of the smart home of the Xiaomi ecological chain, seamlessly integrated into the Mijia ecosystem, making remote control and voice commands a reality. Imagine, whether it is a hot afternoon in the sun or a cold winter night, you only need to touch your fingertips or voice call to make the temperature of your home just right. This sense of control at will is the unique charm that Xiaomi air conditioner gives users.

What’s more impressive is its intelligent scene mode, which is like a caring life assistant, learning your living habits and automatically adjusting to the most comfortable temperature, which is both energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

If intelligence is the wing of Xiaomi Air Conditioning, then the price of being close to the people is its solid feet, which allows it to firmly establish itself in the market. Xiaomi Air Conditioning is well versed in cost performance and interprets the brand philosophy of "good but not expensive" with practical actions. In the air conditioning industry, high-end models that cost thousands of yuan at every turn are everywhere, but Xiaomi is like a clear stream. With its highly competitive price and excellent functions and quality, it quickly won the favor of consumers.

Lei Jun’s game of chess was far-reaching and accurate. He may have foreseen that in today’s consumption upgrade, consumers are not only pursuing the basic functions of products, but also seeking the satisfaction of "value for money". The appearance of Xiaomi air conditioners is like a timely rain in summer, allowing consumers to enjoy the comfort and convenience brought by cutting-edge technology at a lower cost, thus standing out among many brands and building a sky of their own.

In the face of the rise of Xiaomi air conditioners, Dong Mingzhu, the head of Gree, may have been confused. In her opinion, the core of home appliances lies in quality, and excellent quality is the passport of the market. However, times are changing, and consumer demand is also quietly changing. Under the wave of intelligent technology, simple "hard core" is no longer enough to sum up the whole market. People yearn for a smarter and more convenient lifestyle.

The success of Xiaomi Air Conditioning is the best interpretation of this trend. It tells us that the future competition is not only the competition of the product itself, but also the accurate grasp of consumer psychology and future trends. In the blue ocean of smart home, only by constantly innovating and embracing change can we ride the wind and waves.

Therefore, whether it is for Xiaomi air conditioners or the entire home appliance industry, continuous exploration of the boundaries of intelligence, continuous optimization of user experience, while maintaining the price of the people’s line, will be the key to future development. On this road, Xiaomi air conditioners have gone out of their own pace, proving that in the era of smart home, intelligence and cost-effectiveness are the king of winning the market.

The story is not over, and the chapter of smart home is slowly unfolding. The contest between Xiaomi air conditioner and Gree is just a scene in this game of change. On the stage of the future, who can say who will lead the trend next? But what is certain is that it will be the brand that understands users best and is closest to the pulse of the times.

　　Motorcycle travel around South East Asia is the way many riders dream of traveling! Today, it is no longer difficult to conquer the land of adventurers on two-wheeled electric donkeys to Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, the Philippines, and even Singapore. Google Maps’ recently launched multi-country motorcycle navigation mode is designed for this purpose.

　　Many of you may have noticed that Google Maps’ "two-wheeled mode" arrived in India, the world’s most prosperous two-wheeled transportation market, at the end of 2017. At the end of April 2018, the "two-wheeled mode" was unlocked in Indonesia, and at the end of June, the "two-wheeled mode" version was unlocked in Malaysia. In the past week, this new tool menu has added more countries and regions in South East Asia to the "bike-friendly" list, including Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, and Taiwan.

　　Google Maps’ "two-wheeled mode" was introduced to provide motorcycle and bicycle riders with more recognizable directions. Compared with the car navigation mode, its advantages are more user-friendly and more down-to-earth. In the updated Android version (via Google Play), we can see that the map will be impassable to many cars, but the narrow alleys, dirt roads, unnamed roads, and bicycle lanes that motorcycles and bicycles can enter are clearly marked. Customized routes will be created according to the user’s needs, accurate travel time will be estimated, and up-to-date street views will be provided. In addition, the usual prompts in the car navigation mode, such as "Go straight on Victoria Street and turn left after 500 meters", are also replaced by more clear and easy-to-understand expressions, such as "Turn left at the National Design Centre in Singapore".

　　The best thing about the "two-wheeled model" is that it chooses to serve countries and regions, without exception, densely populated places with high rates of motorcycle and bicycle penetration. Travelers to these destinations also tend to travel by bicycle. On the one hand, South East Asia generally has fewer restrictions on two-wheeled transportation, and on the other hand, it is because of the constant narrow road travel, which is a new and interesting way to travel, and saves time and effort.

　　Regrettably, Google Maps’ motorcycle icon is only available on Android Google Maps 9.67.1 above. iOS when the version will be released, and which countries will be unlocked next, it is not known.

　　Recently, there was a hot topic on Instagram – "Did you know there was a cat in the Hagia Sophia Cathedral in Istanbul?" Not to mention that many travelers who visited the Hagia Sophia Cathedral had seen the European shorthair cat named Gli, and even took a photo with it and held its claws.

　　Gli has lived within the cathedral’s thousand-year-old walls for more than a decade, and in a sense, it is the true owner of Hagia Sophia. Here, it lives like a queen, not only has a special person to serve it, but also has its own social account. Gli has many fans around the world because of its noble appearance, good pose and willingness to interact with strangers. According to people familiar with the matter, Obama also met with it briefly during his visit to Turkey.

　　Umut Bahceci, a tour guide in Istanbul who is also publicly known as the manager of the account Hagia Sophia Cat, is considered the closest human being to, and the most knowledgeable about, the Queen’s every move. Recently, to celebrate Gli’s 14th birthday, and also to give some practical advice to the flocking cat lovers, Bahceci revealed the daily habits of the cat owner. He mentioned that whenever Gli wants to make contact with people, he will come to the hut under the minaret, and when he is tired and does not want to be hugged, he will sit on the’divine stone ‘below the dome. In addition, different times and seasons, Gli’s favorite places of activity are also different. In winter, it will follow the beams of light from the heights and stop in front of the warm altar, but in summer mornings, most of them will stay in front of the cathedral window. When the soft sun shines on his face, Gli will show a cute expression of slightly squinting eyes. Travelers who want to kiss Fangze might as well try to touch their heads at this time, or press the shutter to record their signature smile.

The "God’s Stone" under the church dome is one of Gli’s favorite places.

　　The news that Yosemite National Park in central California has been closed since July 25 under the threat of wildfires is disappointing, but on the upside, outdoor enthusiasts may want to take the opportunity to try other worthy destinations, such as Chiribiquete National Park, which has recently been listed as a World Heritage Site.

　　Earlier this month, the expansion of Zilibiquete National Park, which is located at the border between the provinces of Guaville and Caqueta in southern Colombia, was announced, adding about 1.50 million hectares to the 2.70 million hectares of protected area designated in 1989. With this move, Zilibiquete has also become the largest rainforest national park in the world.

　　Located at the crossroads of the four ancient ecosystems of the Amazon, Orinokia, the Andes, and the Guyana Shield, Tsiribekt National Park is rich in natural resources that no other national park can match. It is also home to the oldest, largest, and densest surviving petroglyph archaeological site in the Americas. In total, the park contains more than 70,000 ancient paintings depicting animals, hunting, fighting, and dancing. The oldest murals date back more than 20,000 years.

　　Australia is planning to build a 76-kilometer trail for hikers and mountain bikers on the northern coast of Cairns. The route, called the Wangetti Trail, will be located on the coastline across the sea from the Great Barrier Reef. The two ends of the route will connect to the scenic Palm Bay and Port Douglas, passing through Kuranda National Park, and will be accompanied by multiple natural wonders such as wilderness, jungle, beaches and islands.

　　It is reported that it takes about 6 days and 5 nights to cross the Wangiti Trail on foot. If you choose to ride, you can complete the entire journey in as little as one day and one night. According to the local tourism board, the Queensland government has invested 950,000 Australian dollars in the construction of the trailhead’s infrastructure, and plans to develop more luxury campgrounds and eco-tourism facilities along the route.
