[PConline evaluation]As a niche old brand, "800 million time and space" seems more like a sentimental existence to some old users. Since the brand was founded in 1992, it has been committed to the PC market. In 2001, it was among the top ten famous brands in China. After the subsequent transformation, it engaged in the research and development and production of liquid crystal display materials, became the main domestic liquid crystal material provider, and gradually faded out of the consumer market.

　　Until this year, Huishijie Electronics Co., Ltd. was authorized by the brand in the field of 800 million time and space display, and the "800 million time and space" products returned to the PC market. BM320F is the masterpiece of big screen, with 32-inch IPS-ADS panel and 10.7mm slim steel frame, which strives to bring strong visual impact to consumers in both display effect and appearance.

● Monitor specification parameters

　● Introduction to the features of BM320F in 800 million time and space:

　　The above table lists the basic parameters and features of this new product. You can read it in detail to deepen your understanding of this product. Let’s start with PConline and make a detailed evaluation of it.

Appreciation of appearance and details of BM320F in 800 million time and space;

　　800 million time and space BM320F is a 32-inch large-screen display, which is made of IPS-ADS panel material, closely follows the fashion trend in appearance, and incorporates the minimalist design concept and extremely narrow bezel, making this display more eye-catching.

　　The clean back is made of matte texture, and the screw holes on the back indicate that this large-screen monitor supports wall hanging function.

　　BM320F will make the fuselage thickness 10.7mm in 800 million time and space, and the slim design will make the fuselage light and thin. Aluminum alloy middle frame is used around the screen to ensure the strength of the fuselage.

　　The border of the 800 million-hour BM320F is one of its appearance features. The super-large screen size is matched with the extremely narrow border of only 6.7mm, so that the line of sight is not limited by the border, thus having a better view.

　　BM320F in 800 million time and space puts the physical OSD button at the back of the display with the logo on the front, which is both beautiful and convenient to operate.

　　Electroplated aluminum alloy die-casting base, beautiful luster, showing gorgeous and elegant temperament.

　　In terms of interface, it is equipped with two common video input interfaces, DVI and VGA, which basically meet the needs of users for multi-platform access.

　　According to the nameplate information, the power of this 32-inch large-screen monitor is only 35W, and its energy-saving and environmental protection features make it suitable for bulk purchase in Internet cafes, offices and other places.

● Gray scale test

　　Gray scale refers to the hierarchical relationship between the darkest black and the brightest white of a display. In terms of contrast between light and dark and black and white color transition, the clearer the image, the more natural the transition, the better. On the gray scale, the performance of 32-level gray scale and 256-level gray scale is mainly used for testing.

　　In the 32-level gray-scale real shot, the color scale display of BM320F in 800 million time and space is relatively general, although there is no obvious color difference, and the gradient range is small. The boundary of some color blocks in the upper left corner is not clear, so it is difficult to distinguish.

　　However, it performed well in the 256-level gray scale test. It can be seen from the real shot that this gray scale gradient has a wide transition range, and the transition is more natural and distinct than the 32-bit gray scale, and most of the squares are completely displayed.

● Test

　　In terms of color saturation, the brighter and more transparent the picture displayed by the display, and the smoother the transition, the better the performance, and vice versa.

　　800 million time BM320F adopts IPS-ADS panel, which has good performance in color saturation, clear image quality and full color. Excessive is natural, and the color has high permeability.

● Test

　　In the real shot, there are slightly dark areas on the left and right edges of BM320F screen in 800 million time and space, but the overall dark part is not obvious, which is good enough for a 32-inch screen.

　　There is no light leakage at the edge of the screen when the monitor is in a real black picture. Excellent performance.

● Contrast test of image restoration effect

　　The following chart is a comparison between the real shot and the original picture, from which we can basically see how the color reproduction effect of a display is.

　　Note: Due to the shooting of the camera, there will be some loss in the real shot picture, and the style of the picture will be different due to the different cameras. Here is for basic reference only.

　　It can be seen from the comparison chart of the color reproduction effect of the picture that the BM320F display in 800 million time and space has a deep reproduction of the red in the three primary colors, and the other colors are still more accurate; In the natural scenery picture test, the color of the safflower picture is biased, and the color is more orange. The green plant map is slightly brighter; The ultra-high contrast of this monitor is excellent in LCD pictures, which can highlight the details of the picture. The character’s skin color is slightly brighter, and the overall restoration effect is more natural and delicate.

● Measured data of BM320F display in 800 million time and space.

　

　　The 800 million space-time BM320F adopts IPS-ADS high-definition panel, and the viewing angle can reach 178. From the real shot pictures, the multi-view images are uniform, the colors are consistent and the brightness distribution is uniform. It can easily meet the viewing needs of users from different angles.

● Display brightness | Contrast | Color gamut | Color temperature | Color level | Brightness uniformity test

　　The following data were tested by the professional monitor screen color correction instrument "Starscream Spyder4Elite 4". The test items include color gamut coverage, color reproduction accuracy, color temperature consistency, chromaticity uniformity, brightness uniformity, gamma curve and so on.

Color temperature of ambient light: 6500K K.

Ambient light illumination: 51Lux

Signal input: DVI

Comply with ISO3664 standard.

● Color gamut test:

Color gamut coverage: 97% sRGB 76% AdobeRGB

　　After measuring the color gamut of this monitor, it is found that its sRGB color gamut can reach 97% and Adobe RGB color gamut can reach 76%, and the color gamut coverage is relatively normal, which basically meets the needs of mass users for color diversification.

● Brightness uniformity test

　　According to the brightness uniformity test, the brightness value of 225.1cd/㎡ in the center of BM320F is the highest, while the brightness value in the lower left corner is the lowest, which is 198.3cd/㎡, and the brightness difference is 12%. Compared with the 32-inch screen, the overall uniformity is controlled in an acceptable range, and the overall screen display is even and soft.

● Color temperature consistency test:

　　The purpose of color temperature consistency test is to test the stability of white point color temperature of display under different brightness.We test the brightness of all-white picture and all-black picture as well as chromaticity coordinates when the brightness level is 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% respectively, and calculate the contrast and color temperature values. The color temperature value and contrast ratio should not change much under each brightness.

　　In 800 million time and space, the white point color temperature of BM320F is kept at 7300K under different brightness, and the performance is very stable. Compared with the standard 6500K color temperature, the overall display effect is slightly cooler.

● Color standard test

　　In terms of color accuracy, Δ E value is regarded by us as a key indicator to measure the quality of a product, Δ The closer e is to 1, the more accurate the color standard is. The average of this monitor Δ E is only 1.11, which is very close to the standard level, and the overall performance is excellent. And Δ The maximum value of e is only 3.81, which shows that this monitor has a high level of accuracy in color reproduction.

When △E≤ 1, the human eye can hardly distinguish the difference between the two colors;
When 1<△E<3, the human eye needs to be able to distinguish subtle color differences after comparison;
When △E<5, the human eye can distinguish the color difference and consider it as two similar colors.
When △E>5, most people can see the color difference and think it is a completely different color.

Special feature of 1905 film network It’s another Mid-Autumn Festival. With several new Chinese films joining the station circle, the market that has been depressed for many days is about to revive.

As the first film, directed by Qian Jiale and starring Ekin Cheng, Jordan chan, Xie Tianhua, Lin Xiaofeng and Qian Jiale, it is undoubtedly the most anticipated film by the audience at present.

No matter the number of people who want to see it, the market arrangement or the first day box office, it is currently at the top of the films of the same period, which can be described as "threatening".

Although we have a large number of die-hard fans for 22 years, and although we are still friends in need, will we really get used to seeing the hot-blooded teenagers who used to fight from Causeway Bay to Tsim Sha Tsui with knives become middle-aged uncles who are now fighting overseas with guns?

Fortunately, after watching the whole film, all the worries and doubts are "superfluous": the background has moved to Inner Mongolia, Budapest, Hungary and Fukuoka and Montenegro, which has made the film break away from the traditional routine and become an international large-scale action movie.

In other words,In terms of scale and effect, The Golden Brothers has surpassed the traditional Jianghu movies.

In the plot, there was a hot scene from the beginning, and then there was no sloppiness all the way, and all kinds of blood were boiling, but they didn’t fight blindly, especially in Budapest, where everyone "outsmarted" first, then got involved in the plot, and then set off a gun battle, which made people scream and enjoy themselves in one go, and the reversal and conflict among them made people sweat.

But don’t think that this is all. Later, such as the villain plan, the Japanese flying car, and even the final battle of "siege" are quite enjoyable, and one wave after another makes people applaud.

At the same time, we did not forget to continue the brotherly feelings of the past films, especially a few literary dramas, which also earned a lot of tears from the audience. It can be seen that as a director, Qian Jiale can be described as "both civil and military", which has not only produced the usual lively rhythm of Hong Kong films, but also sublimated them to the international level of action, and even preserved the classic feelings. It is really not simple.

In a word, The Golden Brothers is a transnational action film with special feelings and characteristics.Regardless of the audience or fans of genre films, it is enough to say that they are satisfied!

In fact, the "Golden Brothers" group began in the film in 1998 and has been formally formed for exactly 20 years.

But for many viewers who like them, when did this feeling begin?

It is said that ten or twenty years ago, the mainland was still the era of video halls. From videos to VCDs, there were always a group of young fans watching various Hong Kong movies around a 20-inch TV.

Among them, the most clamoring for the boss to show it must be as many as dozens of this series of movies.

After seeing blood boiling or tears, "Causeway Bay" has become the most vivid landmark memory of that generation of young people for Hong Kong, and "I am a bearer in Causeway Bay" has also become one of their most common catchphrases. Even the organizational composition, location distribution and membership power of "Hong Xing" and "East Star" have been well analyzed by them, as if they were really "Jianghu people".

Film stills

Even the audience who have seen this series of movies, no matter from the north or the south, will basically hum two sentences: "Jiandong always basks in the sun, I play in the sun", "To forget the wrong and to miss the past" and "I will rush in at will and look forward to it".

Not to mention that at that time, young people all over the street were imitating Chen Haonan’s hairstyle or pheasant’s expression, and even putting a watermark "tattoo" on their bodies, as if people could become characters in movies if they saw a pattern. …

All the details are destined to evoke the classic feelings of the audience from all aspects after more than 20 years. For example, in 2015, the five brothers came to four:

"friendship days Concert" has traveled all over the country. Whenever the melody of "friendship days" rings, there is always a chorus:

In 2017, the online drama "Anti-Black" with a good reputation in the mainland, in addition to "Pheasant Brother" Jordan chan, there are also "Big Brother B" Wu Zhixiong and "East Star Camel" Wai-Man Chan, etc.

Of course, the variety show "Where is Dad Going 5" is indispensable. Only Jordan chan "loses his temper" with his son Jasper, and netizens will feel that "Pheasant Brother is possessed!" ：

The film directed by Wu Junru for the first time also has one of the indispensable elements:

Including those that haven’t been released, and with the participation of Ekin Cheng, Xie Tianhua and Lin Xiaofeng, it was called a reunion by the audience.

In short, even if time flies and youth is gone, the audience will always accept this "feeling card" that has lasted for more than 20 years. But many people may not know that the birth of this IP is also a secret history of Hong Kong movies.

It is said that before the filming of the first film, director Liu Weiqiang and screenwriter Wen Juan were still "enemies", which was related to Wen Juan’s various ridicules and curses on the film directed by Liu Weiqiang on the radio. Liu Weiqiang, who was furious, planned to beat him. He didn’t want Jing Wong to pull them together, but he proposed a three-person company to film, which was as dramatic as "becoming sworn brothers" in reality.

To this end, the three also set up a film company that was very representative of Hong Kong film industry in the late 1990s: BOB.

However, compared with today’s classic status, many people were not optimistic about bringing the prototype comics to the screen. Even Jing Wong, as a producer, thought that this piece was difficult to sell, but Wen Juan was full of confidence: "I don’t think this film is a Jianghu film, but when it is a youth growth film, I want to make those who don’t know Jianghu feel very good."

Stills of "People in Jianghu"

However, the performance of "People in the Jianghu" is still beyond everyone’s imagination: all the performances in Hong Kong were full, with a total of more than 900,000 in half an hour. By 1: 30 midnight, it had received 1.08 million, and finally the midnight box office alone reached more than 1.3 million!

In the end, relying on the "dead schedule" one week before Christmas, the cumulative box office grossed 21.12 million Hong Kong dollars, which officially opened the box office myth of this series of movies.

Stills of "People in Jianghu"

　

More miraculously, after Man in the Jianghu, the three masters actually finished two sequels in half a year: and.

The former started in mid-February, and it took only 14 days to shoot with the framing tape. On March 28, it went to the midnight show. On the premise that there was no time to prepare at all, even in Ekin Cheng, there was only a four-day schedule, and the scene was started by "flying paper boy" every day; The latter received a deposit in mid-April, flew to the Netherlands for filming at the end of the month, filmed the whole film in May and released it at the end of June, just to catch up with the summer file &hellip; &hellip;

Even so, the two sequels still earned HK$ 22.49 million and HK$ 19.5 million respectively. In other words, in the past six months, the cumulative revenue of the trilogy has reached 63 million Hong Kong dollars, which is one of the most representative Hong Kong IP films in the late 1990s.

　

According to statistics, as of 2000, the cumulative box office of the six-part series (People in Jianghu, Raptors Crossing the River, absolute monarch, Invincible, enter the dragon, Winner is King) has exceeded 99 million Hong Kong dollars, which can be described as earning a lot of money compared with the low-cost production of each episode.

Of course, this is not to mention all kinds of "foreign articles" such as Thirteen Sisters in Hongxing, The Story of Pheasant, Hong Xing Large Allen, etc. If all the statistics are true, then this IP has accumulated a box office of at least over HK$ 100 million at the low tide of Hong Kong movies in the middle and late 1990s, which, to some extent, is a "rescue" series!

In addition to the box office success, the trilogy has also spawned a large number of classic lines that still make the audience memorize.

Jing Kun’s cruelty:

Pheasant’s vagrancy;

Raven’s unruly madness:

There is also the same touching love, such as the trouble of Chen Haonan and Xiao stammer:

Pheasant’s confession to Ding Yao;

Even more indispensable is the brotherhood of "there is no afterlife in this life":

And prevent young people from going astray, and summarize and reflect on the rivers and lakes:

Looking back at the whole series, it is actually not to teach young people to enter the underworld, nor to show the secret history of various underworld, but to make people understand what "love and righteousness are worth a thousand dollars", to promote the sharing of troubles between brothers, and to reveal the values that all gangsters have no good end.

Therefore, from Hong Kong in those days to the mainland today, it always resonates with the younger generation.

　

It is worth mentioning that the play emphasizes punishing evil and promoting good, and crouching tiger, hidden dragon is the same outside the play.

In this series, several big brothers and sisters are film emperors, and their acting strength is overwhelming.

Among them, Wu Junru is the first actor who won the best actress with this series of films:

Wu Junru won the Golden Award for "Thirteen Sisters of Hongxing".

In contrast, the "younger generation" has made great achievements in acting. For example, Jordan chan, the pheasant, won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, and Karen Mok, who plays the priest’s daughter, also won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. No wonder there is a tacit understanding in the film:

Even the behind-the-scenes creation, together with the Infernal Affairs series, has become two labels of Liu Weiqiang’s directorial career:

Qian Jiale, who plays "Big Head", not only won the Golden Bauhinia Award for Best Supporting Actor, but also won the Golden Horse Award for Best Action Design several years ago.

Today, he is not only a well-known director and action director, but also the president of the Hong Kong Action Acrobatics Association, which can be described as fame and fortune:

Interestingly, in addition to showing the scenery of rivers and lakes, it has also brought joy to Hong Kong people (even viewers watching TVB in South China) for ten years.

Since 1995, the variety show "Super Invincible Winner", starring Ceng Zhiwei, has been ranked first in Hong Kong’s ratings for a long time. Various game links have made the audience smile. As "awards for the elderly", Lin Xiaofeng, Jordan chan and Qian Jiale have also contributed, which is enough to prove that these "teenagers" have many talents:

Now "Golden Brothers" is produced by Ceng Zhiwei, which can be said to reproduce these two classic signs at the same time, thus bringing more classic feelings.

So, with these unique cards, will you go to the cinema to support the "sentimental" work "Golden Brothers"?

　　[Global Network Reporter Wang Boyaqi] Before he was elected president of Russia, Putin had a KGB agent experience, which was quite mysterious. The Russian newspaper Izvestia reported on October 30 that the Central National Archives of Historical and Political Literature in St. Petersburg recently exposed a document, revealing the KGB’s evaluation of the former member’s work: strict discipline, strong execution, and well-deserved authority among colleagues.

Putin figure from the network

　　"Izvestia" said that these documents were exhibited in an exhibition commemorating the 90th anniversary of the establishment of the archives, and related contents can be learned through the Russian "Channel 78" program. Some of these documents show that Putin has been working for the KGB since 1975, taking charge of organization and sports. During his work, he was "strict in discipline and strong in execution" and was still "constantly improving his ability".

Screenshots of the documents on display are from Izvestia.　

　　Not only that, but in this document with an evaluation of Putin’s work, this former KGB agent is also described as a "young man with high morality and well-deserved authority among his colleagues."

　　Spain’s El Mundo once described Putin’s "health secret" in an article, "He is the most athletic president in the Kremlin, who loves hockey, swimming and hiking, and has won the judo competition." This is also mentioned in the above-mentioned exposed documents.

The picture is from the Russian news network "zing.vn"

　　According to the report, the document shows that Putin often participated in sports competitions, became the Soviet Judo and Sambo Sports Master at the age of 23, and won the Leningrad Judo Championship in 1976.

　　Putin’s KGB career has long been an open secret, and he has always been proud that he was an intelligence officer. In 1975, Putin graduated from the Department of International Law of Leningrad University, completed KGB training in the second year, and entered the confidential department of Leningrad (now known as St. Petersburg) two years later. Putin worked in the department until 1983, and then went to the KGB school in Moscow for a year. From 1985 to 1990, Putin was sent by the KGB to work in Dresden, East Germany. After reunification, he was recalled to Leningrad. In 1991, Putin resigned from his job in the KGB while the KGB was plotting to overthrow Soviet President Gorbachev.

Do you remember killing Matt? Who the hell are they? Where are they now? In 2008, killing Matt became a cultural phenomenon, but within a few years, this group was suppressed and gradually disappeared from people’s vision. In fact, they are not so-called "brain-dead, vulgar", and most of them are "left-behind children+assembly line migrant workers". Faced with a city full of strange dangers and a flowing factory life that stifles humanity, they have no education, no background and no money, so they can only choose to kill Matt to protect themselves, express their personality and find a sense of belonging in the city. Now everyone who kills Matt cuts off his long hair and goes back to his hometown to continue his hard life. Today, we are all calling for aesthetic freedom. Maybe we should also give them a late aesthetic freedom.

Past lives who killed Matt.

　

What exactly does the name kill Matt mean? Perhaps many people don’t know, in fact, it comes from the English word smart, which was transliterated as killing Matt by people who just started using it. It is easy to read and has personality, and it sounds cool and annoying. Just as what they value when choosing this word is that it means "smart and fashionable". In visual modeling, it actually imitates the Japanese visual rock. Japanese visual rock band rose in 1980s, represented by X JAPAN, and they were actually born under the influence of glam rock in Europe and America.Express rebellious personality and heavy metal music style with gorgeous and exaggerated hairstyles and costumes.. Because of the high quality of their music, visual rock is no longer completely non-mainstream music in Japan, and is respected to some extent.

But China’s killing Matt, which started in about 2007, has nothing to do with rock music. There are many versions circulating on the Internet about how the killing of Matt started, and there is no way to know who is the founder. It is widely said that the founder of killing Matt was a native of Meizhou, Guangdong Province, who was born in 1995 and named Luo Fuxing. According to his account, he went out to work as a teenager, and his working life was hard and boring. He happened to see this Japanese visual style on the Internet and thought it was particularly cool. He went to the hair salon to do a similar hairstyle and sent it to QQ space, which was seen and imitated by many people. With more and more people imitating and adding his friends, he set up a QQ group and chose the word "Kill Matt" as his family name.

　

At the same time as killing Matt, there are various non-mainstream families such as bury love, Canxue and Kuangshao. In terms of visual modeling, these families all like long hair, explosive heads, bangs that cover their eyes or even half their faces, and all kinds of fancy and colorful clothes. The biggest difference between the killing Matt family and these families is that their hair must stand up against gravity.Because the shape of killing Matt is the most exaggerated, the killing Matt family is more widely known, and now it has become synonymous with all non-mainstream families.

On-line, the killing Matt family has established countless QQ groups, large and small, which need to undergo strict examination. For example, it must be seen that the applicant’s hairstyle meets the anti-gravity standard of killing Matt. In QQ group and QQ space, people who kill Matt all over the world communicate with each other.The latest hairstyle informationShow your new look, discuss your life, or find a partner, find a job, or even find a place to stay if you have no money. ……

Offline,The most concentrated place to kill Matt is Guangdong., especially the shipai in Dongguan. Because in fact, most of the people who killed Matt were a new generation of migrant workers after 1990s and 1990s, and their work destination was the assembly line factory. In Dongguan, Shantou, Zhongshan and other cities in Guangdong, there are countless such factories. In 2008 and 2009, on the stone rafts, factory rest days, in the streets, parks and skating rinks, boys wearing low-waisted tights with fan heads and girls wearing ultra-short jeans and fishnet stockings and smoky makeup with loving heads can be seen everywhere. Their entertainment is very simple, such as visiting the park, chatting, skating, taking selfies, and bragging about their new styles in groups on the street.

However, just because the public thinks that their modeling is "shocking", earthy and does not conform to the mainstream aesthetics, from the beginning of 10 years, killing Matt, who has never caused substantial harm to society, began to be attacked from online to offline. Hackers captured or dissolved their QQ group and post bar; Fake killing Matt is wearing a wig to harass the public or do some self-blackening, and taking video photos and posting them online to stigmatize killing Matt (in fact, self-blackening is not killing Matt); The factory didn’t restrict their hairstyles at first, but later began to require them to cut off their long hair and dye it back into black hair, for fear that they would scare older people. In the same year, the state put forward "resolutely resist vulgarity, vulgarity and kitsch", and the society set off a new "moral movement", and killing Matt was also included in the rectification target. Whether because of the spontaneous rejection of the people or the resistance of the state and mainstream media, killing Matt began to decrease gradually.Around 2013, killing Matt almost disappeared from people’s sight.

In 2016 and 2017, on the platform like Aauto Quicker, a number of accounts mainly shooting rural non-mainstream dances and laughing at themselves. With long hair and colorful tights, they created a large number of "earthy" video works with the rural environment as the background, which triggered the so-called "non-mainstream Renaissance". Some of the creators behind these accounts used to kill Matt. They returned to the countryside from the city and didn’t have a skill, but found that many people on the Internet were willing to watch them for fun, so they made videos and broadcast live to earn living expenses. Some are more professional short video production teams, imitating and even spoofing Matt.

Aauto Quicker is a big stage of grass-roots culture, in which there is no lack of vulgar behavior and bad behavior to win the attention of the content, and many accounts with the theme of killing Matt are full of such content, causing users’ disgust. In 2017, Aauto Quicker banned a number of accounts involving pornography, violence, political inaccuracy and vulgarity, which was called Aauto Quicker Net Action, including many illegal killing Matt accounts. However, after this clean net, even the "original" killing Matt who did not violate the rules was gradually unable to rely on video and live broadcast to make a living.

　

Nowadays, whether in the offline world or the online world, we rarely see the real killing of Matt.

Why kill Matt?

　

Thirteen years later, when we look back at this social and cultural phenomenon that happened in 2008 and caused a heated discussion in the whole country, what can we find except that our youth is gone and we once again lament that their shapes are weird and not mainstream? If we say that in 17 years, the people who really killed Matt in the online world made live broadcasts and made videos to make a living and allowed the public to make fun of them like watching monkeys, then why did they choose to kill Matt in 2008? How do they see themselves?

　

In fact, as mentioned above, in 2008, all the people who chose to kill Matt were the new generation of migrant workers after the 1990s and 1990s. Most of them come from remote and backward rural areas in southwest and central provinces. Before they became migrant workers, they had another identity: left-behind children. At the end of Kill Matt I Love You,Many people who killed Matt mentioned that they had been separated from their parents since childhood, and they longed for affection and a complete family.The family is poor, parents leave home to work, and rural education resources are poor. With many elders and peers around them leaving the countryside for cities, the rural environment is more monotonous, and big cities have become their imaginary exports.

Many of them followed the older people in the village to the coastal cities when they were thirteen or fourteen. Under the age of 18, primary school or junior high school education, basically can only work in assembly line factories. However, cities do not have as many opportunities and fun as they think. Cheated deposit, repetitive work of at least 12 hours a day, extremely low salary that is deducted if you are not careful, no friends, no entertainment, no money to spend in the city center, two or three days’ holiday a month ….. Before the "factory people" of the Internet giant cried 996, these assembly line workers had already entered 996 ten years earlier.

　

After the senior high school entrance examination, the author was asked by his parents to work in the factory in the name of earning pocket money. The intensity of 12 hours a day, completely mechanical labor and night shift rotation is completely beyond the reach of a 14-year-old adolescent. The author only persisted for half a month, and in fact, few assembly line workers can persist in this work for a long time. Because no matter in terms of economic returns, physical health or spiritual satisfaction, this working mode is a great torture and loss to people. China’s economic take-off since the Millennium, the myth of "Made in China" and the rapid urbanization process are based on this to some extent.

　

This depressed work and living space, combined with the environment in the first decade of the Millennium and the self-reports of killing Matt in the documentary, the author believes that the reasons why the new generation of migrant workers chose to kill Matt in those years are complicated, including internal psychological needs, their own conditions or external environmental reasons, and the two are intertwined.

　

From the perspective of internal psychological needs,First of all, it is the need for self-protection.

　

Cities are more complicated than they think. Compared with the countryside, there are indeed more opportunities in the city, but there are also more dangers and deception lurking. When preparing the documentary, Director Li Yifan hopes to contact more Killing Matt for interviews, and wants to buy the assembly line factory videos they recorded before from them. Luo Fuxing, the "godfather of killing Matt", suggested telling them that interviews or selling videos are "no deposit", because many people who killed Matt were cheated by factory owners or seemingly kind strangers when they first arrived in Guangdong. Therefore, it is necessary to have these four words to eliminate many concerns about killing Matt. Therefore, in fact, they really need to look cool and annoying, and make themselves more "shocking". Without any other capital and power, they can only use their own bodies.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for them to take a fancy to the Japanese visual style. This style blows the hair as big and long as possible, and the short person can be at least 5 cm taller because of the hair; Liu Haichang can only see half an eye, which increases the mystery; Red trousers, smoky makeup, rivets, tattoos, fishnet stockings and platform shoes enhance personality, aura and strength. They need and can only show the city people that they are fashionable and have their own ideas, and they are not timid and can be bullied casually. It can even be said that although they know that the style of killing Matt is not the mainstream of the city, they are no longer completely rural people, at least half of them are already urban people. City people should not be so fond of bullying city people, they imagine.

　

Secondly, it is the demand for individuality, ego and freedom.

　

Maybe some people will feel angry and puzzled. They all work in assembly line factories. Why don’t those who have been suppressed for a long time after 70 s and 80 s play killing Matt? Why do they like to be maverick after 90 s?

　

In the first decade of the Millennium, great changes have taken place in all aspects of China society, and the facilitation of network media communication has also started from here.Children born in the early 1990s are in their teens when mobile phones and computers become popular.As mentioned earlier, some rural children drop out of school at this age and follow their fellow villagers to the city. Young people are eager to be wonderful, and the internet and the city provide them with many fresh stimuli and information. Compared with the previous generation who also worked in factories, the new generation of migrant workers’ desire for individuality naturally germinated.

　

The assembly line does not need individuality, and even tries to stifle humanity and freedom. The more repressed they are, the more eager they are for individuality, freedom and self-expression, the more they try to "deviate". To become a Matt killer is to try to find some unique selves and the possibility of not being the same screw by transforming one’s appearance and expressing one’s personality outside the assembly line, even if it is only during the only three-day rest day in a month.

　

People who don’t like to kill Matt’s style can think that this aesthetic is outdated and unsightly, but as long as the behavior of killing Matt’s group is within the legal scope, everyone should probably respect their freedom. As Li Yifan said, aesthetic freedom is the most basic freedom. When there is no other freedom, aesthetic freedom should be the simplest and most accessible freedom, and it should also be the freedom not to be kidnapped and tried by others.

Third, the need for recognition and belonging.

　

In addition to protecting themselves and expressing their individuality, adolescent rural children who are almost helpless in the city are also eager for companions and a sense of belonging, whether it is friendship, affection or love. In the documentary, a girl killed Matt and said, "As long as you play with Matt, you are a family." Even when the killing of Matt gradually disappeared and only appeared on the online live broadcast platform, many former killing Matt did not hesitate to brush gifts for the killing Matt who made the live broadcast. Some even brushed 5,000 yuan a month because they knew that they were not easy and felt like family whenever and wherever.

　

The killing Matt family is really like a big family. Members have given each other a high sense of identity and belonging, and they are relatives and friends. By sharing the identity of killing Matt, they confirm each other, and by confirming each other, they realize or strengthen their self-identity. In addition to affection and friendship, it is also an important reason to gain the recognition of the opposite sex by playing cool and handsome. People who play killing Matt will only become lovers with the opposite sex who also play killing Matt. Even if the other party suddenly stops playing killing Matt, the ending is to break up immediately. It can be said that hairstyle means a cultural identity, which means who shares a set of aesthetics, values and worldview with himself.

　

△ "Because you want to be concerned" and "I need others", documentary "Kill Matt and I Love You"

　

The above are some of the more important internal demand reasons, and in terms of their own conditions and external environment, they choose to be Matt-killing, which is also influenced by the following factors.

　

First of all, their economic level is very limited.

　

Many of us will laugh at their cheap and low-grade clothes, but it is indeed affordable consumption for their extremely low economic level. "Deviant" also needs capital. When there is nothing, the body is the biggest capital, and the economic cost of transforming the body is relatively low, although many people who kill Matt become poorer because they play with their hair. In addition, although cities are diverse and rich, in fact, regions are clearly marked according to the level of consumers. Killing Matt knows that many high-end places can’t afford them at all, so many people almost always stay near the factory, that is, suburbs or villages in the city. It’s not so easy to broaden one’s horizons in the city. Luo Fuxing said that he didn’t dare to look up at those tall buildings for a long time and felt very inferior. With limited economic conditions and limited horizons, killing Matt is the aesthetic consumption that can best reflect their personality within their power.

　

Secondly, the existence of information cocoon room.

　

Although the network has brought a lot of distant information, everyone will gradually form a network information cocoon, in which they almost only see the people and opinions they recognize. In 2008, although there was no mechanism to push according to personal data at that time, the people put into their QQ were mainly people who were close to themselves. For those who kill Matt, because many peers around them are playing with their hair, taking selfies and using Martian, gradually, they really think this is a trend, and they really think these shapes are beautiful and cool.

　

Besides, fashion is also time-varying.

　

Although fashion is always in reincarnation, what elements and styles can become a temporary trend depends largely on the economic, social and cultural status of the people who choose these elements and styles. Therefore, fashion is always a kind of imitation behavior, and regions with lower economic and cultural level tend to imitate regions with higher level. The phenomenon of killing Matt not only reflects that China is keen to imitate Europe, America, Japan and South Korea in fashion, but also clearly reflects the fashion time difference between urban and rural areas in China.

　

In the first few years of the Millennium, the mainstream fashion in the city was bright-colored hair and tight-fitting colored pants. Killing Matt can be said to be an exaggerated variant of urban fashion that was a few years late in the suburbs. They tried to enter the city by imitating the shape, but they were told that the tickets they used had already expired for many years.

△ "Super Girl" in 2005

　

To sum up, we can see that the formation of the group of killing Matt and this cultural phenomenon is not only due to the desire of a group of people who are in aesthetic decline to gain eyeballs, but a group of adolescent new generation migrant workers who have no power, trying to fight against the assembly line life through aesthetic freedom, to fight against the danger of the city or to integrate into the city. Reflected in them,In fact, it is the spiritual dilemma of this generation of migrant workers, the antagonistic pattern and gap between urban and rural areas, and the fact that cities rely on this group to achieve economic take-off but ignore the living conditions of this group.

　Where is killing Matt now?

　

What are you doing now after killing Matt?

　

Except for some Sha Matt, who still has long colored hair, who make a living through live broadcast and video shooting, most Sha Matt who has cut off his long hair has returned to his hometown or hometown city. Some of them grow bananas in the countryside, some move bricks on the construction site, and they are eloquent in sales. Those who master a craft work in a hair salon or beauty salon, and those who are better off have their own hair salon or fast food restaurant. Others continue to work in factories in coastal cities in Guangdong.

　

Luo Fuxing, who claimed to be the godfather of killing Matt, tried to revive the killing of Matt. He still lives in Shipai, Dongguan, and has become a barber. At the same time, he has opened personal accounts on various social software to share classic or newly designed hair styles. He also opened a three-day Matt-killing experience hall in Beishangguang, and some netizens will come here to experience a Matt-killing hairstyle. In his comments on many social platforms, many netizens have no choice but to feel "sorry for my family, I am bald" and "envy the leader’s hair", while others still express their incomprehension and even disgust at killing Matt.No matter what the attitude of the public is, it is difficult to reproduce the once-popular phenomenon of killing Matt by one person’s cry.

△ Netizen’s message on Luo Fuxing’s Douban account

　

However, the "spirit of killing Matt" has never disappeared, and even today it is becoming more and more common, so that in fact, today’s young people all "kill Matt".What is the "spirit of killing Matt"? The author believes that it is actually a desire for individuality and freedom in a highly instrumental and utilitarian modern world.As sociologist Max Weber said, the modern world is an "iron cage" established by instrumental rationality, and everything is best "impersonal". People should strive to be a tool without personality and irrational emotions to promote the development of the country, society and cities.

　

Also after 1995, although they didn’t become "killing Matt", those children who were born in cities or came to cities for study and employment through the college entrance examination are now faced with: a high-pressure and risky living space, a working mode of working with their eyes open and sleeping with their eyes closed, and perhaps they can’t achieve the involution of class rise with all their efforts, and the cruel mechanism of being quickly eliminated if they lie flat, and strive to earn money in order to be a stable house slave.

　

And these young people, don’t they all try to express their individuality and declare their uniqueness through aesthetic freedom, clothing, make-up, hairstyle, jewelry and other appearance shaping, even if they just dress up beautifully to drink coffee and watch exhibitions and take photos on weekends, to breathe the fresh air outside the iron cage?

　

Even, in terms of exaggerated costumes and imitating other countries’ fashions (such as French, Japanese and women’s group style), today we are doing something almost the same as killing Matt.

　

△ Many French wear and share in bilibili.

　

We should be as tolerant of killing Matt as we are of ourselves. In an era when everyone is trapped in an iron cage, aesthetic freedom is indeed the most basic, accessible and even the only freedom. If as individuals, we can’t change the cage for the time being, then at least we can respect the aesthetic freedom of others.

tag

　

After a lapse of thirteen years, when we re-recognize the cultural phenomenon of killing Matt, we can see not only the survival and spiritual dilemma of the group that killed Matt, but also what China city has neglected in the process of modernization, and we should also see the predicament that people are facing today, so as to prevent a group from being suppressed and aphasia from happening again.

　　Moderator Shui Junyi:

　　Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Global Sight, which is being broadcast live on the news channel. I’m Shui Junyi. Russian President Vladimir Putin published an article in The New York Times, which mercilessly attacked the US government, which caused an uproar among American media and politicians. The heavyweight Senator Menendez publicly said that he almost wanted to vomit after reading Putin’s article. The White House also made a fierce counterattack. What did Putin write to make Americans so angry? In addition, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad recently said in an interview with RIA Novosti that Obama must promise not to arm the opposition, otherwise he will not hand over chemical weapons. What does such a tough stance mean? Will it be the reason for the United States to attack it again? Today, our studio invited special commentators, Mr. Yin Zhuo and Mr. Song Xiaojun, to participate in our discussion. First of all, let’s take a short film to learn the details.

　　Commentary:

　　The dramatic situation in Syria has made progress again after Obama announced his request to Congress to postpone the vote on the military strike against Syria. On the 12th, the Syrian government submitted relevant documents to the United Nations on its accession to the Chemical Weapons Convention. The United Nations said that this means that Syria has officially started the process of accession to the Chemical Weapons Convention. On the same day, the Permanent Representative of Syria to the United Nations, Jaafari, said that in a legal sense, Syria has become a member of the Convention.

　　On the same day, the Russian media broadcast an interview with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

　　President Bashar al-Assad of Syria:

　　I want to reiterate that without Russia’s proposal, we would not discuss the transfer of chemical weapons with any country, saying that Syria was threatened to give up chemical weapons, which is a propaganda means of the United States, because Kerry and Obama always want to show the United States as a winner who achieved their goals through threats.

　　Commentary:

　　At the same time, in the interview, Assad once again denied that the Syrian government used chemical weapons. He said that the chemical weapons attack on the outskirts of Damascus on the 21 ST of last month was caused by terrorists to provoke the United States to use force against Syria. They have chemical weapons provided by foreign countries, and Syrian government forces have never used chemical weapons. In recent days, Obama’s plan to attack Syria militarily is under siege, and Russia’s plan of exchanging chemical weapons for peace has received more and more international support. Since Obama announced the postponement of the plan, the chemical weapons crisis in Syria seems to have begun to develop in a good direction. However, the game between the United States and Russia on the situation in Syria is still going on.

　　On the 12th, a long letter to the American people and political leaders was published in the The New York Times that day, and the author was Russian President Vladimir Putin. In the article, Putin warned the United States that "military strikes against Syria will only bring chaos and casualties." And pointed out that "many countries no longer regard the United States as a model of democracy, but only know how to play rough." For this article, the British "Guardian" said that while Putin extended a hand of friendship and cooperation to Obama, he repeatedly stabbed Obama’s wound with a knife. Just a few hours after Putin’s article was published, US Secretary of State Kerry flew to Geneva, Switzerland, and held talks with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov on the Syrian chemical weapons for peace plan. The New York Times commented on the dramatic changes in the Syrian situation. Just as Obama hesitated, Putin stood in the center of the stage. However, some commentators believe that even if the proposal of exchanging chemical weapons for peace becomes a reality, it will still face many political and operational difficulties in real implementation. However, there are still variables whether the United States, Russia and Syria can reach a preliminary plan for the solution of chemical weapons. At that time, will the United States still put a military strike plan on the table, and how will the situation in Syria develop? Still worthy of attention.

　　Moderator:

　　There was a sentence in the second half of the short film just now, which I think left a deep impression on me, saying that Putin stood in the center of the stage just as Obama hesitated. Before the next conversation today, there is a very popular video from Russia today. Please watch it together. As we all know, the most popular column in the world, including China, is called "The Voice of China". Not long ago, it was said that Putin also made a good voice in Russia, and not only did he make a good voice in Russia, but he also won the turn of three tutors. This was the scene at that time, and the picture quality was average.

　　Let’s look at this picture and ask for advice. This is Putin’s side. In addition, of course, we have seen that Putin has many other sides, but it really surprised many people, including many Americans. Putin still has such a skill, that is, he wrote a commentary in the The New York Times, a best-selling newspaper in the United States and the western world, which suddenly caused such an uproar. What do you think of Mr. Yin?

　　Yin Zhuo Special Commentator:

　　I think Putin wants to light another fire, give Obama another push and push him down when public opinion, especially domestic public opinion, is unfavorable to Obama.

　　Moderator:

　　What do you mean?

　　Expert opinion: Putin "lights a fire" on Obama’s unfavorable public opinion.

　　Yin Zhuo:

　　Because we know that Obama decided to go to war this time, he had already crossed the red line, and now Bashar al-Assad’s regime has crossed the red line and decided to use force, and he has made a lot of hard words, whether your parliament agrees or not, I will use force, I have the right to use force, and so on. Now the domestic public opinion and the public opinion of the whole parliament are unfavorable to him. He feels that the number of votes is unfavorable to him and the possibility of passing it in the parliament is very small. Moreover, public opinion is widespread, and more than 60% of Americans oppose the use of force against Syria.

　　Moderator:

　　It is basically impossible to get such support in parliament.

　　Yin Zhuo:

　　In mainstream public opinion, in opinion polls, there is no such support. And Putin now, it turns out that he wants to stand on the moral high ground against Russia, that is, you used weapons of mass destruction as an excuse to use force against Syria. Of course, he is standing on the moral high ground, because big countries kill weapons, which is prohibited by international law.

　　Moderator:

　　The whole world opposes it.

　　Commenting: Putin severely criticized the abuse of power by the United States

　　Yin Zhuo:

　　But also killed many women, especially children, and children suffered a lot of casualties, so he stood on the moral high ground. On the other hand, now he has stood morally low, Putin has stood high, and Putin has clicked on this article again. You won the Nobel Prize, but you had better fight. You are a militant. At this time, Putin has become the commanding height of morality, but he is a militant. Put aside the use of chemical weapons, because Putin took it out because of the drastic measures. Bashar handed over the whole chemical weapons. Is it possible for you to use force? Now Putin stands on the moral high ground and asks him to promise not to use force. The United States will never promise. It is precisely because of such a contrast that he lost his moral points.

　　Moderator:

　　Let’s take a look at what Putin wrote on the The New York Times. In one passage, he said, "I doubt that many people all over the world now feel more and more that the United States is not a model of democracy, but only resorts to brutal force and forms gangs under the slogan of being either friends or enemies." In addition, he said that no matter how clear the target is and how sophisticated the weapons are, it is impossible to avoid civilian casualties, including the elderly and children, those who wanted to protect through action. "

　　In fact, he also said a passage, which we didn’t extract. He said that the United States should not always feel unique or different from the rest of society. You are actually a member of the international family. Therefore, in addition to some politicians in the United States, including the White House, who will immediately fight back later, many commentators say that Putin is very reliable. You see, he helped me in a difficult situation; Some people say that this year’s Nobel Peace Prize belongs to Putin. What does Mr. Song think? The so-called Putin gave Obama a hand at a critical moment, and now he is standing on such a commanding height to teach a lesson. Americans say not to think that Americans are unique in the world?

　　Expert opinion: Putin not only gave "steps" but also "helped them down"

　　Song Xiaojun Special Commentator:

　　Putin not only helped Obama, but also gave him a step and helped him. Therefore, in this case, it was Obama who was riding a tiger. The United States conducted a Gallup survey in the same period. The wars fought in the past 22 years, the Gulf War and the Iraq War, including Kosovo, were many times, including opinion polls. This time it was the lowest, 36%, like 82% when it was fought in Afghanistan, that is, in 2001, after the "September 11" incident, when it was fought in Iraq. But this time it’s 36%, and it’s still falling. How do you think Putin can get down this step? People give you a step to help you, what should they get? What I got was the good voice we talked about just now, and why he showed such an image this time, and even wrote this article in The New York Times, which shows that Putin is now facing internal problems in Russia, because local elections are about to be held in Russia. Moreover, Russia’s economic situation is not good now.

　　I saw the BRICS in the previous G20. In our BRICS countries, no one can do it except China, and the Russian people’s support rate for the United Russia Party is now declining. At this time, Putin has to use his personal charm to unite the Russian Party on the international stage, or win back the votes of his team in local elections, so he wants this.

　　Moderator:

　　But in any case, Obama is good, and his team seems to feel that Putin’s popularity is a bit overwhelming. Don’t forget Obama’s team. Some people say that they have always wanted to build Obama according to a star. Now there is a response to Putin’s high praise. Let’s listen to what he said.

　　Carney White House spokesman:

　　Unlike Russia, the United States represents the value of democracy and human rights in our own country and around the world. We believe that when children will not be killed by a dictator with poison gas, the global security level will also be improved.

　　Now 34 countries have claimed that the Assad regime was responsible for the use of chemical weapons that night.

　　I think it is also necessary to point out that it is a great irony to publish such a column, because it reflects the truly outstanding tradition of freedom of speech in this country, which is not shared by Russia. In the past few years, freedom of speech has greatly declined in Russia.

　　Commenting: The White House retorted and the war of words escalated.

　　Moderator:

　　Regardless of everything else, Carney typed it right away. There is no freedom of public opinion in Russia. Look, your president has to publish a commentary in my newspaper. But a very simple question may also be a hypothetical one, Mr. Yin, because we know that many things in Nobel are manipulated by Americans, and Americans will let Putin, if someone really nominates Putin for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, is it possible? Is there a play?

　　Yin Zhuo:

　　Impossible, absolutely impossible.

　　Moderator:

　　Why?

　　Expert opinion: the United States will not give Putin the title of "peacemaker"

　　Yin Zhuo:

　　Because the Nobel Peace Prize has a very strong political ideology, its political ideology is on the side of the United States. Since it awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to Obama, it shows that people like Putin can never win the prize here, otherwise Putin will stand up against his own country’s system, so he wants to win the Nobel Prize. From here, we can see that from the White House spokesman, the leader of his parliament said that he was disgusting, and so on, we can see that Americans will never give Putin the title of peacemaker and let him win the Nobel Peace Prize. There is no possibility, and he will take various measures. Because now the initiative is not in Putin’s hands, the initiative is in Obama’s hands, and it is Obama, not Putin, who has the final say. Putin can only beat around the bush and say that you don’t want to fight. He can only persuade Obama not to fight, or exert pressure to really decide whether to fight or not. Who will win the Nobel Peace Prize in the end? Who will guide the outcome of the Syrian war? It is the Americans who have the final say, not the Russians, which can be judged.

　　Commenting: The fate of the Syrian government is decided in the ongoing negotiations on chemical weapons.

　　Moderator:

　　Another topic, let’s pay attention to Mr. Song. Today, the foreign ministers of the United States and Russia held a meeting in Geneva, which will be held in the next two days. It is said that the information leaked is not bad and promising. At the same time, however, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad had a saying that he accepted RIA Novosti and said very strongly that if you armed the opposition, I’m sorry, but I may not do anything about the transfer of chemical weapons. What does this sentence mean?

　　Song Xiaojun:

　　I think he is warning the United States and Israel not to push their luck. Putin handed you the steps, helped you down the steps, and I swept the ground under the steps. As a result, you have to give offensive weapons to the opposition, that is, the Syrian Free Army. Now it is the worst army to be beaten. It is not kind to do so, so it should be said. But in fact, Kerry and Lavrov must be laughing secretly, because everyone knows that this matter is very long. For example, in 2004, Gaddafi handed over chemical weapons, and Gaddafi’s chemical weapons were much less than those in Syria.

　　Expert opinion: Kerry and Lavrov "stole the fun" before the talks.

　　By 2011, when he was killed and shot down, his chemical weapon mustard gas was treated by 40%, and the chemical weapon raw materials were treated by 50%. This is a very long matter, and basically this matter is gone. In this case, the United States also knows that this matter is a face matter, which is Putin’s face and Obama’s face. As for whether this 1,000-ton chemical weapon can be disposed of quickly, everyone will forget it in the future. As soon as the heat of the two news cycles is over, everyone will ignore it. Other things, elections and other things. But it is a bit unkind to give weapons to the opposition at this time.

　　Moderator:

　　Of course, from Assad’s point of view, he must protect his own regime, but as you said, I am afraid that all parties, whether the United States and Russia or the US Congress, are a little snickered, which finally gives everyone a sigh of relief. Ok, our Global Sight will continue later.

Jellyfish Network, August 7th (YMG All Media Reporter, Liu Jie, Correspondent, Ma Shuangjun, Zhu Benxi, Zhao Qingyin) Yesterday at 9 am, accompanied by three sonorous and powerful drums, the first batch of transportation teams loaded with Buick Envision S and Envision S Ivia departed from SAIC-GM Dongyue Base and went to Buick dealerships across the country. This highly anticipated fashion sports medium-sized SUV will be delivered to the market one after another.

This is another shining moment for the brand after the Buick Envision S and Envision S Ivia rolled off the production line in batches a few days ago. "In recent years, SAIC-GM Dongyue Base has followed the trend of automobile consumption upgrading and industrial upgrading. Guided by’electrification, networking, intelligence and sharing ‘, and based on excellent manufacturing, it has continuously improved its manufacturing level. It has become the first factory in the world to pass BIQ L4 and the’Most Valuable Factory’, and has been awarded the honorary title of J.D. Power 2020 Platinum Factory." Pan Jiebo, general manager of SAIC-GM Dongyue Base, said that the newly launched Envision S and Envision S Aivia have inherited Envision’s excellent quality genes and will bring consumers a better driving experience with their excellent product strength, injecting new vitality into the high-quality development of SAIC-GM and Dongyue Base, and will also bring new opportunities for the upgrading of the automotive industry in Yantai Development Zone and the conversion of old and new kinetic energy.

Nongfu Spring, which has repeatedly said that there is no need to list, finally decided to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The company that mainly produces "a little sweet" mineral water has a financing scale of no more than 1 billion US dollars, but it is a high probability event that it will enter the 100 billion market value club after listing.

We carefully read the prospectus submitted by Nongfu Spring to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and found that the company had mixed feelings.

Nongfu Spring "not bad money"

Nongfu Spring was established in 1996, and its founder Zhong Liangyi holds 87.4% of the shares. The company’s main business contributes about 95% of the total operating income. The main products include drinking water, tea beverages, functional beverages and fruit juice beverages, accounting for 60%, 13%, 16% and 10% of the revenue respectively. Among them, drinking water and fruit juice beverages have grown rapidly.

According to the prospectus, Nongfu Spring has maintained steady growth in the past three years. From 2017 to 2019, the income was 17.491 billion yuan, 20.475 billion yuan and 24.021 billion yuan respectively, with a compound annual growth rate of 17.2%. Nongfu Spring achieved net profit of 3.385 billion yuan, 3.612 billion yuan and 4.954 billion yuan in the past three years, with a compound annual growth rate of 21.0%.

In 2019, the comprehensive gross profit margin of Nongfu Spring was as high as 55.4%. Mainly due to the gross profit margin of 60.2% of the largest drinking water product. The gross profit margins of other categories such as tea beverages, functional beverages and fruit juice beverages were 59.7%, 50.9% and 34.7% respectively.

In terms of net profit, the net profit rate of Nongfu Spring rose to 22.8% in 2019, of which sales expenses accounted for the largest proportion of the three fees. Specifically, sales expenses accounted for 24.2% of operating income, and the most important ones were transportation expenses and advertising expenses, which were 2.53 billion and 1.22 billion yuan respectively, accounting for 10.5% and 5.1% of operating income, respectively.

In terms of cash, Nongfu Spring adopts the first payment and then the goods transaction method, and the book receivables are very small. From 2017 to 2019, the company’s net operating cash inflow was greater than the net profit of the year, especially in 2019, the net operating cash inflow was as high as 8.73 billion yuan. From 2017 to 2019, the book structured deposits were 2.04 billion, 3.60 billion and 200 million yuan respectively. The average interest rate earned was between 4.0% and 4.9%.

The sharp decrease in cash in 2019 was due to the concentrated dividend of Nongfu Spring up to 9.50 billion yuan before listing. Among them, the major shareholders received 8.20 billion yuan. Previously, although Nongfu Spring also had annual dividends, the amount was 2-300 million yuan. And the total financing of Nongfu Spring is only 1 billion US dollars.It is certain that Nongfu Spring did not choose to go public because of a lack of funds.

What is the valuation after going public?

Master Kong Holdings, the equivalent producer of mineral water in Nongfu Spring, has been listed on the Hong Kong stock market. In 2019, Master Kong Holdings’ beverage business contributed HK $39.70 billion to operating income, which was greater than Nongfu Spring’s operating income. But net profit was only HK $3.72 billion, far less than Nongfu Spring’s 4.95 billion yuan.

At present, the market value of Tingyi Holdings is 77.20 billion Hong Kong dollars, corresponding to the price-to-earnings ratio of about 20.8 times in 2019. It is estimated that the total market value of Nongfu Spring after listing is at least about 130 billion Hong Kong dollars. In fact, Nongfu Spring is better than Tingyi Holdings in terms of profitability and growth, and the market may give a higher valuation.

According to the prospectus, the drinking water market is still in a stage of rapid development. According to Nielsen’s forecast, it is still expected to maintain a growth rate of about 10% in the next five years. Compared with the beer and condiment market, the drinking water market has more room. Based on the high concentration of the drinking water market, it is also possible to produce a leader with a larger market value than Budweiser Asia Pacific (1876.HK) and Haitian Flavor (603288.SH) in the long run. The average price-to-earnings ratio valuation of beer in the Hong Kong stock market is 30-40 times. The average valuation of soy sauce and vinegar in the class A share market is more than 40 times. Based on this, we have predicted the market value of Nongfu Spring.

The troubles of Nongfu Spring

Although the situation is good, Nongfu Spring is not a smooth road.

First of all, the drinking water business depends on the source of water, and the bottleneck facing the long-term growth of Nongfu Spring is the limited source of water. According to relevant laws and regulations, units and individuals who directly extract water from natural resources (such as rivers, lakes and groundwater) need to obtain a water extraction license and pay a water resource fee. Enterprises need to extract water according to the approved annual water extraction plan. Moreover, mineral water has the dual attributes of water resources and mineral resources. The production of mineral water should also apply for a mining license according to law. In other words, the scarcity of water sources on the one hand helps enterprises to establish high industry barriers, and on the other hand restricts enterprises to expand production capacity. It is conceivable that with the development of the industry, there are fewer and fewer untapped water sources.

The situation of Nongfu Spring’s newly obtained water sources in recent years is not optimistic. At present, Nongfu Spring has a total of 10 water sources. The main production bases are still Qiandao Lake in Zhejiang, Changbai Mountain in Jilin, Danjiangkou in Hubei and Wanlv Lake in Guangdong, which were obtained before 2005. With the increase in environmental awareness, the water withdrawal from water sources obtained by Nongfu Spring in recent years has become smaller and smaller. In 2019, the newly obtained water withdrawal from water sources was only 504 thousand cubic meters per year. Although the approved water withdrawal from water sources currently owned by Nongfu Spring is much larger than the actual production capacity of the company, the company does not have the problem of insufficient water withdrawal in the short term. However, products concentrated in water sources in Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jilin and Hubei are also limited by the transportation radius.

Nongfu Spring has less water sources that can produce mineral water, which is not conducive to product upgrades in the future. In addition, the average ton price of Nongfu Spring drinking water has declined for two consecutive years, the company explained, because of the increase in sales of large-packaged drinking water with lower unit prices. In the short term, Nongfu Spring may face the risk of lower gross margins.

Due to the scarcity of domestic water sources, Nongfu Spring has begun to go overseas. Nongfu Spring has acquired Otakiri Springs, a New Zealand bottled water company. The prospectus revealed that Nongfu Spring will look for suitable acquisition targets in the future. However, the overseas market is more mature than the Chinese market, and the growth space is limited. The risk of "going out" is really not small.

Secondly, Nongfu Spring also faces the problem of "succession". The company has five executive directors. Among them, the founder Zhong Shuzi currently serves as the chairperson and general manager of the company, with a shareholding of 87%. Appropriately reducing the founder’s shareholding ratio through listing can achieve the effect of optimizing the shareholding structure and reducing decision-making risks. At present, Zhong Shuzi is 66 years old and has been deeply involved in the operation of Nongfu Spring. Another executive director, Guo Zhen, deputy general manager in charge of the overall operation and production of Nongfu Spring, is also 62 years old. Zhong Shuzi, the son of Zhong Shuzi, is currently a non-executive director of the company and does not participate in daily operations. Zhong Shuzi joined the group in 2014 and is currently the general manager of Yangshengtang (Nongfu Spring Holding Company) Brand Center.

It is worth mentioning that at the same time as the listing of Nongfu Spring, another company controlled by founder Zhong Shanyuan, 603392.SH, landed on the class A share main board on April 29. The current market value is 6 billion yuan, and the daily limit has not been opened. In the Hurun wealth list in 2020, Zhong Shanyuan was listed with 14.10 billion yuan. With the listing of the above two companies, his worth is expected to rank among the top five on the rich list.

At the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, the new Tiggo 8 was officially unveiled. The new car adopted a brand-new design language, and the whole car was more refined. This new car will also be sold to overseas markets in the future.

　　The appearance of the new Tiggo 8 is quite different from Chery’s current products. The front of the car adopts a two-color design, and the interior of the large-size mesh adopts a diamond grille, which looks good in quality. The headlights on both sides are split, and the lower lights blend with the black area, which has a strong sense of layering.

　　The design of the side is similar to that of the existing model as a whole. It is reported that the wheelbase has been lengthened, and the car has been replaced with a hidden door handle and equipped with multi-spoke wheels. At the rear of the car, it will adopt a penetrating taillight design, in which the brand LOGO is embedded. The design of the tailgate is also relatively simple, and the license plate area is placed in the rear enclosure.

　　The design inside the car is closer to the style of new energy vehicles, and with the beige interior, it looks very simple. It is equipped with LCD instrument and independent central control large screen, and we can also see wireless charging panel with air outlet and mode conversion knob.

　　Judging from the tail mark of 390T, it is expected that it will still be equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 187kW and a maximum torque of 390 Nm, or a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. In the future, the car will also launch a new energy version.
