A bowl of snail powder is a big industry. The annual sales income of bagged snail powder in Liuzhou, Guangxi exceeds 18 billion yuan.

　　■ Heavy industry city and cultural tourism food, which had little connection, have repeatedly collided with the phenomenal online celebrity effect.

　　■ The Red Star Capital Bureau learned that during this year’s "May 1" holiday, Zibo Station has sent more than 240,000 passengers, an increase of 85,000 passengers over the same period in 2019; According to the 2023 May Day Blowout Data Report released by WeChat, during the May Day period, the tourism consumption in Zibo increased by 73% compared with April; Weibo’s data also shows that during the May Day period alone, Zibo made 70 hot searches on Weibo.

　　■ The recently released GDP of Zibo in the first quarter shows that the recovery of its consumer market is faster than that of the whole country and province. Shandong waist city, which once had a weak sense of existence, has become the top flow of the whole network. In addition to Zibo, Hegang and Liuzhou, both industrial cities, also performed well in the first quarter of this year.

　　■ Can online celebrity effect be a shortcut to help urban development? The interviewed experts told the Red Star Capital Bureau that the promotion of the city’s popularity will have various advantages for attracting investment and will also drive a certain inflow of talents. However, it remains to be seen whether the simple "online celebrity effect" can drive GDP.

　　it is not unique

　　Hegang, a city in online celebrity, also performed well before Zibo’s economic recovery.

　　After the barbecue, Zibo’s first-quarter report card attracted social attention — — The recovery of its consumer market is faster than that of the whole country and province.

　　According to official data of Zibo, the city’s GDP reached 105.77 billion yuan in the first quarter, up 4.7% year-on-year. In the first quarter of Zibo, the consumer market showed obvious improvement in economic development, and the recovery momentum was strong. In the first quarter, the city’s total retail sales of social consumer goods reached 31.36 billion yuan, up 8.3% year-on-year, 2.7 and 2.5 percentage points higher than that of Shandong province and the whole country respectively. Among them, the sales (turnover) of wholesale, retail, accommodation and catering above designated size increased by 9.5%, 15%, 16% and 25.2% respectively, which were 4.7, 14.9, 7.2 and 19.8 percentage points higher than those in January and February respectively.

　　Zibo’s GDP growth in the first quarter was not entirely due to the sudden popularity of barbecue in Zibo. Pan Helin, co-director and researcher of Digital Economy and Financial Innovation Research Center of International Joint Business School of Zhejiang University, told Red Star Capital Bureau that the barbecue explosion in Zibo started in March this year, mainly in April and May, and Zibo’s GDP will be even more brilliant in the second quarter. At the same time, Zibo’s local finance and local economy have blossomed, and the improvement of local business environment can drive Zibo to have a "flywheel effect".

　　Coincidentally. Hegang, another "online celebrity city", unexpectedly hitched a ride in the Internet era because of the price of cabbage for 20,000 or 30,000 suites, and gained a lot of traffic. In the first quarter of this year, Hegang’s data was also very bright. From January to March, the GDP of hegang, Heilongjiang Province was 7.46 billion yuan, with a growth rate of 8.5%, which was higher than the provincial average (5.1%) and ranked first among 13 prefecture-level cities in Heilongjiang Province.

　　A revelation

　　Can online celebrity Effect Drive the Development of Resource-exhausted Cities?

　　Zibo and Hegang, both important old industrial cities in China, played an important role in the early development of new China, and are now also listed as "resource-exhausted cities".

　　"The last time Zibo was so hot, it was the time of Qi." Netizens commented on Zibo’s long-standing "marginalization".

　　In fact, besides being the capital of Qi, Zibo is an old industrial base with a history and an important petrochemical base in China.

　　According to Xinhua News Agency, Zibo has a modern industrial history of more than 100 years. It is the only city in China that covers three types: resource-exhausted cities, independent industrial and mining areas and old industrial bases.

　　For today’s Zibo and Hegang, industry is still the main driving force for their development.

　　In 2022, the tertiary industrial structure of Zibo was 4.3: 49.8: 45.9; In 2021, the ratio was 4.3: 49: 46.6; Comparatively speaking, the proportion of the secondary industry has increased compared with 2021, the proportion of the tertiary industry has declined, and the primary industry has not changed. The proportion of secondary industry in Zibo ranks second among 16 cities in Shandong, second only to Dongying (57.8%); According to the data of the first quarter, although the proportion of the secondary industry declined slightly (48%), it still occupies half of the country, so it can be seen that "industrial city" is still the biggest background color of Zibo.

　　Compared with Harbin, an old industrial base in Northeast China, Hegang’s industrial genes are still strong. In 2022, the proportion of three industries in Harbin was 12.2: 23.4: 64.4, and it has been transformed into a service-oriented city with a low proportion of industries. In 2022, the proportion of the three industries in Hegang was 25.5: 38: 36.5. In addition, the industrial added value of hegang will increase by 9% in 2022, which is 8.2 percentage points higher than the provincial average, ranking first in the province.

　　It remains to be seen how much the online celebrity label can bring to industrial cities. Liang Ma, a researcher at the National Development and Strategy Institute of Renmin University of China and a professor at the School of Public Administration, told the Red Star Capital Bureau that there will be short-term effects, which will improve the development of the service industry, including retail and catering, but whether these can be sustained remains to be seen.

　　Where is the road?

　　How to stimulate long-term vitality?

　　Liuzhou path is difficult to copy.

　　Zibo’s barbecue is on fire. How to stimulate the city’s longer-term economic vitality is a real proposition outside the barbecue label.

　　Zibo is not the first industrial city to put on the "Red Label of Food Network". Liuzhou, the hometown of snail powder, is the largest industrial city in Guangxi, and its data in the first quarter of 2023 also shows the strength of the tertiary industry in Liuzhou. The added value of the primary industry was 2.444 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.4%; The added value of the secondary industry was 29.207 billion yuan, an increase of 3.1%; The added value of tertiary industry was 41.603 billion yuan, up by 4.1%. The added value of tertiary industry accounts for 3.3: 39.9: 56.8, and the tertiary industry accounts for nearly 60%.

　　Although it is an industrial city like Zibo, Liang Ma believes that Liuzhou has stronger "vitality". "Snail powder is sold through e-commerce, and its related industries, such as planting, production, sales, marketing, etc., have now started on a scale and formed a brand, and its continuous influence will be further amplified." Snail powder is an industry that can radiate without coming to Liuzhou. "Liuzhou has found a sustainable path, and now it doesn’t need the online celebrity label, because everyone has formed a brand recognition, and a group of consumers have the consumption habit of buying snail powder." But barbecue in Zibo is not yet. Liang Ma explained that Zibo’s supporting facilities are barbecue-centered, and you need to go to the local place to punch in to create output value.

　　Ren Zeping, an economist, said that in recent years, people from all walks of life in Shandong have obviously improved their sense of crisis and enterprising spirit for development. Zibo is a typical case. Ren Zeping believes that innovation drives high-quality development and Shandong lacks new economy, new industries, new technologies and new ideas. I hope Shandong can seize the new opportunity of the new round of industrial technology revolution and realize lane change and overtaking.

　　Fortunately, despite the label of online celebrity, Zibo and Hegang, as industrial cities, are also actively seeking the road of transformation.

　　Last July, China Graphite Group (02237.HK) was listed in Hongkong, becoming the first listed company in Hegang. Zibo regards the "four strong" industries of new materials, intelligent equipment, new medicine and electronic information as the main direction of the transformation of old and new kinetic energy in industry — — It is proposed that by 2025, the added value of the "four strong" industries will account for 55% and 42% of the regional GDP respectively, and the modern service industry will account for 60% of the added value of the service industry.

　　At the same time, with the help of online celebrity label, both Zibo and Hegang have made full efforts in attracting investment this year.

　　Online celebrity effect is favorable for attracting investment, which is the most important aspect that Liang Ma thinks. "The popularity has increased, so that those who may not have paid attention to the industrial structure of this city in the past are willing to invest in attracting investment. It may also promote the development of its own traditional industry or manufacturing industry, and it will also bring about this increase in output value. "

　　In addition, the advantage lies in talent attraction. "The popularity of the city has increased, and everyone may also be concerned about investment or employment opportunities. These two aspects are more critical." Liang Ma pointed out that barbecue brings more soft power to Zibo, making barbecue an opportunity to ride the wind, continuously strengthening city publicity and brand promotion, and keeping its popularity at a high level, which is very likely for Zibo to become a new second-tier city.

　　In just over a year, Cao Huan, a 24-year-old Miao youth in Guizhou, completed a counterattack: from a Guangzhou shopping mall security guard with a monthly salary of 3,100 yuan to a rural short video online celebrity with an annual income of 500,000 yuan. At present, Cao Huan’s self-media platform has 570,000 fans, and the video has been read more than 7 million times. In October this year, as a representative of "successful entrepreneurship" in the short video industry, he was invited to give a speech in Beijing, which was his first time to fly and his first time to Beijing.

　　Cao Huan bluntly filmed the video to make a living and earn more money. Cao Huan was born in an ordinary Miao family in Guizhou, and went out to work after graduating from junior high school. When he went home to shoot a rural video, his parents, relatives and fellow villagers strongly opposed it and thought it was doing nothing. After seeing the money, everyone gradually changed their views. On October 27th, Cao Huan told The Paper that short videos in rural areas are following the trend seriously, and he is carrying out the "Thousands of Families" shooting plan, that is, shooting 1,000 villages and 10,000 families in China in five years.

　　Rural online celebrity

　　Last year, Cao Huan earned 500,000 yuan a year by making short videos in rural areas. Before becoming a "online celebrity", he worked as a mall security guard in Guangzhou, earning 3,100 yuan a month.

　　Cao Huan, 24, was born in Zhanghan Village, Nanshao Township, Jianhe County, Qiandongnan Prefecture, Guizhou Province. Like most young people in the village, Cao Huan went out to work after graduating from junior high school at the age of 15. In Guangzhou, he worked as a vegetable porter, an apprentice in a furniture factory, a worker in an electronics factory, etc., but his physical strength could not keep up and he was often injured. Cao Huan recalled that at that time, working for more than ten hours a day, the salary was only one or two thousand yuan.

　　In 2015, Cao Huan worked as a security guard in a square in Baiyun District, Guangzhou. He found that the security guard’s work was relatively easy, "I have time to play with my mobile phone".

　　In his spare time, Cao Huan and his colleagues took some funny videos. Zeng Chunqi is a friend of Cao Huan, and later turned to be a self-media person. He has the title of "Zeng Ge" in the field of short video. Zeng Chunqi told The Paper that after seeing Cao Huan’s video in his circle of friends, he encouraged him to quit his job and concentrate on making short videos.

　　"The time is ripe, since the media era has arrived." In Zeng Chunqi’s impression, Cao Huan Sunshine was a little silly and sometimes funny, so he suggested that he start from the funny field.

　　However, Cao Huan hesitated. Can he make money by doing this? Colleagues are also pessimistic. Yang Pengju used to be a security colleague of Cao Huan, and now he is still working as a mall security guard. He said that when Cao Huan mentioned making videos, everyone thought it was fun. "If we say that we can make money, we all think it is a rumor."

　　In April 2016, Cao Huan resigned with the idea of challenging himself. Cao Huan bluntly said, "Brother Zeng said that he could earn millions from doing a good job in the media. I believed that money was very attractive to me."

　　Cao Huan and Zeng Chunqi learned self-media knowledge, taught themselves shooting and editing techniques, and then took an old iPhone 5 phone to shoot funny short videos and posted them to their own self-media platform. In the first month, he earned 1729 yuan. Cao Huan was a little happy and a little sad. "More than 1000 yuan can’t support himself."

　　Cao Huan said that the initial shooting was vulgar and meaningless, and it was far from "earning millions". Cao Huan thought about how to transform, so he chose to go back to his hometown to shoot short videos in the countryside.

　　In June 2016, Cao Huan returned to his hometown, a Miao village, and his family criticized him for going home to shoot a video. Cao Huan’s father, Cao Feng, recalled to The Paper, "I didn’t know that making videos could make money, just watching him play mobile phones at home every day. My relatives and friends outside say that my son is idle and I have no face. "

　　Relatives and villagers don’t understand either. Cao Huan’s cousin Yang Zhengli said that the first time I heard it, I felt a little unreliable. "I think he is just fooling around and running out to play all day, and other people in the village have quite misunderstood him."

　　Cao Huan soon discovered that there were obvious advantages in going home to shoot videos, and the production cost was almost zero. He asked his younger brother to help him shoot, or invited passers-by to appear in the camera, saving labor costs; In rural areas, there is no need to prepare props and scenery, and the Miao customs are the background.

　　Rural people, city dwellers who yearn for rural life, and migrant workers who miss their hometown, Cao Huan knows where his audience is, and the first rural video he shot is on fire, with 2.8 million plays and more than 10,000 messages.

　　"The video makes people who work hard outside feel the taste of home. What I do is valuable." Cao Huan’s hottest video is about Miao girls wearing skirts for an hour and then dancing for young guys. This video has been played 7 million times and forwarded 30,000 times. A netizen rewarded 4000 yuan and left a message saying, "I miss my mother."

　　"thousands of households"

　　Cao Huan’s video was on fire, and short videos in rural areas began to blow out. Zeng Chunqi said that there are many followers, and even Cao Huan’s fans have become followers.

　　The threshold is low, the homogenization is serious, and the fans are becoming more and more critical. Cao Huan’s rural short video has entered the content bottleneck period. Cao Huan said that when he shoots a place every day, he also has the exhaustion of inspiration. "It’s like suffering from depression and thinking about what to shoot the next day every day."

　　Zeng Chunqi invited Cao Huan to shoot in Hunan and shoot something different in another place. Cao Huan was greatly inspired by this shooting experience, so he came up with the "Thousands of Families" shooting plan: shooting 1,000 villages and 10,000 families in China in five years.

　　For this plan, Cao Huan is very proud, claiming to be "perfect", which is difficult for other followers to imitate. "As for the numbers (referring to shooting 1000 villages and 10000 families), it is a kind of pressure on yourself."

　　Cao Huan said that fans gave him a lot of help, and the filming plan of "Thousands of Villages and Families" was launched with the cooperation of fans: fans provided clues and even invited them to shoot at home. Fans have also appeared in Cao Huan’s video.

　　But sometimes, fans will "stand up". We communicated well in advance. Cao Huan took the train for a day or two and will arrive soon, but the fans can’t contact him, or use some reasons to prevaricate. Cao Huan’s father was worried about insecurity and opposed his "best laid plans" because he was going to shoot in other places. Cao Bee explicitly opposed his son’s going out to shoot. "What happens when you go out? Adults are not around, and I don’t know how to get it. It’s not good to spend money outside and earn some money at home? "

　　Cao Huan believes that he is still young and can still try. In addition to the "Thousands of Villages and Households" shooting plan, he is considering the transformation. "Just relying on traffic to survive, even a few photographers and screenwriters can’t live. Still have to make money first, slowly expand the team, and then do some e-commerce or advertising. "

　　While innovating the shooting content, Cao Huan is also updating his shooting equipment, and has bought cameras, SLR, drones and underwater cameras. He wants to shoot the kind of beautiful shots in the movie.

　　Since April 2016, Cao Huan has updated more than 400 short videos on his self-media platform, each lasting 3-5 minutes. In March of this year, the filming plan of "Thousands of Villages and Families" was launched, and Cao Huan went to Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Yunnan, Sichuan, Guangdong and other provinces. This winter, he is going to shoot in the northeast.

　　Last August, my younger brothers Zheng Yang and Cao Huan started making videos. Zheng Yang and Xiang The Paper said that they spent a lot of time in front of the computer every day, and sometimes he went to work in the mountains, feeling very tired.

　　"Last year, I only slept for six or seven hours every day, and I was working at other times." Cao Huan’s work is also not easy. He thought about the theme the day before. After getting up in the morning, he took the equipment to shoot. A video may take five or six hours. It takes three or four hours to edit it in the afternoon and upload it to the Internet at night.

　　At present, Cao Huan’s self-media has 570,000 fans, and the video has been read more than 7 million times. Cao Huan revealed that he can earn 30,000-40,000 yuan a month, and his annual income exceeded 500,000 yuan last year. The income comes from traffic sharing, advertising fees and fan rewards, of which traffic sharing accounts for 50% to 60%.

　　As a representative of "entrepreneurial success" from the media, Cao Huan was invited to give a speech in Beijing. In the video updated on October 21, Cao Huan said with a smile, "This plane is so big, several times larger than the bus in the village."

　　This is the first time for Cao Huan to fly, and it is also the first time for him to go to Beijing.

　　In order to make a living

　　Regarding Cao Huan’s rural short video, Zeng Chunqi commented that in terms of quality, the shooting and editing techniques and the excavation of highlights need to be strengthened. Zeng Chunqi said that to some extent, Cao Huan promoted the development of rural short videos, and he hoped that Cao Huan would stick to it.

　　Cao Huan, with a low education level, said that he didn’t think too much. At present, he just wants to make a good video and retain fans. He will carefully read fans’ private letters and messages, and reply to them. He will even send hometown specialties to loyal fans and allow individual fans to be guests at home.

　　Cao Huan doesn’t know how long he can persist, saying that there are two main motivations for persistence. "The first is the pressure from fans, and the second is that he has already left this line and wants to survive in society." Cao Huan said that he made short videos to make a living and earn more money.

　　Cao Huan made money by making videos, which also changed people’s views on him. Cousin Yang Zhengli said that Cao Huan has brought changes to the family. "The economic conditions are better than before." Cao Feng, the father who initially opposed it, also said, "I support him now. He made money in the countryside, so I won’t force him. Let him do it well by himself. Don’t squander the money and save it."

　　The villagers who thought that Cao Huan was "idle" have gradually changed their views. Jiang Ming, a youth from the same village, told The Paper that some tourists would come to visit the village now, and even the village head supported Cao Huan, letting him spread the customs of the Miao village through video.

　　After becoming a video online celebrity, Cao Huan saved a sum of money. He wanted to buy a house in the city and take his parents to live there, but his parents refused. The conditions at home have improved, and Cao Huan wants to bring his relatives and friends to get rich. Cousin Yang Zhengli said that she also went home now, and Cao Huan was teaching her how to shoot videos. Encouraged by "making a short video for 500,000 yuan a year", Yang Pengju, a security colleague of Cao Huanyuan in Guangzhou, is also eager to try. Together with several security colleagues, he opened a self-media and used his spare time to make funny videos.

　　In Zeng Chunqi’s eyes, Cao Huan missed the life in the countryside. What he ate and played as a child made him miss it. This emotion made him return to the countryside to shoot videos. Cao Huan said that if his career grows bigger, he may find an office space in the city for the convenience of work, but he will still choose to live in the countryside, which makes him feel natural and comfortable.

Is folding screen a false proposition? Since Samsung launched its first folding screen mobile phone, the controversy surrounding this issue has not stopped. On the one hand, the new experience gained after expanding a larger screen is valuable, and on the other hand, it is the sacrifice in weight, price and reliability for folding the screen.

Today, the folding screen mobile phone has not yet ushered in a decisive breakthrough in these two aspects, but we can’t ignore the progress at the product level. Whether it is a lighter and thinner body, more and more mature technology and technology, or even continuous optimization of the system, the daily use experience of the folding screen mobile phone tends to be perfect.As the price of folding screen products continues to drop, the user threshold is also decreasing.

OPPO Find N2, produced by Lei Technology

In fact, different from the long-term debate between users, if we look at the actions of mobile phone manufacturers for a long time, we will see that mainstream smartphone manufacturers are pouring into this track in the past two years. Each company has launched its own folding screen products, and even more brands are preparing to enter, including Meizu and Yijia.It can be said that there are more folding screen mobile phones available for consumers to choose from in the market, and the range and speed of product update are also improving.

01. The folding screen becomes lighter and the market scale becomes heavier.

On March 23rd, Huawei held this year’s spring conference in Shanghai. At the conference, a package of new products was released, among which Huawei P60 series and Mate X3 folding screen mobile phones occupied the core position. Like most mobile phone manufacturers with folding screens, Huawei Mate X3 also takes thinness as the focus of its products. The plain leather version weighs 239g, and the non-plain leather version we actually measured is 246g.

At the press conference of Huawei’s 2022 annual report, Xu Zhijun, Huawei’s rotating chairman, said at that time: "Huawei’s latest folding screen mobile phone Mate X3 series has achieved the same weight as the ordinary straight board machine. 」

Huawei Mate X3, filmed by Lei Technology

Not only Huawei, but OPPO Find N2 released at the end of last year directly reduced the weight of the fuselage to 233g (non-leather version of 239g) with a relatively small screen size, which is even lighter than the 240g iPhone 14 Pro Max. Manufacturers such as Xiaomi and Glory are also exploring how to make folding screen phones lighter and thinner; Even vivo and Samsung, which have different routes, are trying to make folding screen products thinner and lighter on the basis of giving priority to ensuring top-level configuration.

On the other hand, in addition to horizontally folding mobile phones, after Samsung Galaxy Flip and Huawei Pocket, OPPO also launched N2 Flip vertically folding mobile phones, and vivo X Flip will be officially released soon. They are all lighter and cheaper, so they account for a large part of the current sales of folding screen mobile phones.In last year’s article, we actually pointed out that the focus of folding screen mobile phone manufacturers at this stage will be inclined to the vertical folding direction.

Unlike the "lighter" folding screen mobile phones, the whole folding screen mobile phone market continues to "get heavier". According to the data provided by market research organization IDC, in 2022, China’s smartphone shipments fell by 13% year-on-year, reaching 286 million units, and returned to below 300 million units after ten years. At the same time, in 2022, the annual shipment of folding screen mobile phones in China increased by 118% year-on-year, approaching 3.3 million units, of which more than 1.1 million units were shipped in the fourth quarter.

Figure /IDC

In terms of market structure, Huawei firmly occupies the first position in the domestic folding screen market, with a market share of 47.4%; Samsung ranked second, accounting for 16.5% of the market; With the stable performance of Find N series throughout the year, OPPO gained 13.8% market share, ranking third.

However, according to the data of CINNO Research in January this year, the sales volume of OPPO folding screen mobile phones increased by 483% year-on-year, while Huawei folding screen mobile phones decreased by 33% year-on-year. Therefore, OPPO achieved the overtaking of Huawei in the domestic market with a 30% share.The overall pattern has also changed from "Huawei riding the dust" to "three pillars" of Huawei, OPPO and Samsung.

Figure /CINNO Research

Of course, this is largely because Find N2/N2 Flip was just released last December. However, it is still worth noting that compared with the sales volume and market share after the release of Find N last year, the performance of N2 series has been significantly improved.

02. "Folding" has been used recently, but "unfolding" still needs to be improved.

The development history of consumer electronics proves one thing-most people like big screens, otherwise Samsung Galaxy Note will not be an instant hit, iPhone 6 Plus will not become the best-selling iPhone in history, and TV screens will not enter the 100-inch field. The large screen of smart phones, after the full screen, touched the "ceiling" of human palms.

However, the demand of mobile phone users for larger screens has never changed. We want to browse the news while chatting. Want to play games while watching the raiders; I want to drag the text/picture/document directly to WeChat, and even write Word and PPT. More complex consumer demand and more scenes are forcing software and hardware to create better design and space. Small window function is the effort of pure software, and folding screen can bring more essential changes.

Xiaomi MIX Fold 2, filmed by Lei Technology

However, as a mobile device that can be used at any time, the characteristics of the mobile phone determine that the folding screen mobile phone is basically folded in the mobile scene, which requires the folding screen mobile phone to ensure the use experience under the external screen. As early as the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 evaluation, we talked about it.The further thinning of the fuselage, the alignment of the external screen with the conventional ratio, and the basic optimization at the system level all make the folding screen mobile phone more suitable for daily use.

In the evaluation of Huawei Mate X3, the positive effect of this strategy on daily use is also pointed out. But at the same time, it is also mentioned that "although users of folding screen mobile phones spend much more time using the external screen than the internal screen, only the internal screen can represent the brand-new experience that the folding screen mobile phone wants to bring." Only by expanding it can we enjoy the pleasure of information acquisition and interaction efficiency improvement. 」

Finally, it is decided whether the folding screen mobile phone is a flash in the pan, or whether it will become the "key" for mobile phone manufacturers to cut into the high-end market, or whether the users of the folding screen mobile phone will buy it. The deeper question behind it is whether the "folded" mobile phone can bring new value to users.

Did iPhone users regret it after Lei Technology spent 7999 yuan to buy a folding screen phone? Interview with a user who switched from iPhone to folding screen phone, she mentioned:

"The big screen of the folding screen mobile phone brings a more comfortable experience. For example, it can be operated on multiple screens, and an application can be presented on two screens, one for WeChat chat and the other for watching WeChat official account. You can also run different Applications in different screens on the big screen, such as WeChat and video app. Ordinary smart phones also have split screen function, but limited by the display area, it is very cramped to use. 」

Judging from our experience in using various folding screen mobile phones, the latest generation of folding screen mobile phones will not have much obstacles in daily use, and the price of thinness and continuous exploration will also provide more space for the popularization of folding screen mobile phones.

The biggest problem is the application ecology, especially the long-term absence of Android on the tablet. A large number of apps have not been adapted to large screens. Parallel horizon is a clever way. However, as we said in the evaluation of Mate X3, "Huawei Mate X3 has more like" two screens "than a complete internal screen. 」

The two are still different after all. However, it is still worth looking forward to. As hardware sales continue to rise, software developers may be more aware of the value of folding screens and the potential for big screens to change the ecology of mobile applications.

03. Folding screen is the best opportunity to break the pattern of smart phones.

The more the market goes down, the more you can see the value of high-end products.According to the report released by industry research institute Counterpoint Research, under the background of the decline of smart phones last year, the sales of high-end mobile phones above $600 increased by 1% against the trend, and the proportion of total revenue in the entire smart phone market exceeded half for the first time, reaching 55%.

Among them, Apple monopolizes 75% of the high-end mobile phone market, and considering the price of iPhone, the proportion of revenue will only be higher.It can be said that Apple almost dominates the market of high-end mobile phones and gets most of the profits of the whole industry. Coupled with the long-term occupation of users’ minds in the high-end market, these have brought great challenges to the high-end of domestic mobile phones.

Of course, the more fundamental problem is that the peak of smart phones has passed, and the next market competition will be more of a zero-sum game. Under the premise that the scale of users will not break through again, the importance of high-end mobile phones will become more and more obvious. However, the software and hardware of conventional smart phones are so mature that it is difficult to form a differentiated competitive advantage, let alone break the existing high-end market structure.

From the history of consumer electronics, the best opportunity for all industries to change is with the emergence of new technologies or product nodes. "Bigger screen" was once one of the most distinctive keys at the beginning of the iPhone, and it was also the core driving force for the miracle of iPhone 6 and Galaxy Note, and it was also the battle of heroes in the era of full screen. It can be predicted that a larger screen will still be the key to the transformation of the mobile phone industry in the next stage.

As far as the eye can see, the folding screen that is mature enough is the best opportunity for smartphone manufacturers.

　　[Concern] 56 people were tried for gambling and protecting gambling with guns!

　　From May 6 to 10, the case of 56 people, including the defendant Shi Mobing, involved in organized crimes of a triad nature was publicly tried in the Haizhu District Court of Guangzhou. The case was listed as a case supervised by the Ministry of Public Security.

　　The procuratorate accused: Since 2009, the defendant Shi Mobing has absorbed idlers with criminal records and made money by opening underground casinos and usury.
