Is there only FSD left in Tesla?

First, Apple gave up electric cars, and then Tesla gave up Model 2. They have one thing in common, All in AI. Musk also announced a day that would make the China market feel special magic.On August 8th, we will officially release its Robotaxi.. Will this be the first time that a car without a steering wheel has appeared?

The market value of Tesla is equivalent to 1.5 Toyota or 6.5 BYD. It has always convinced the market that its high-end electric vehicles and brand premium, its innovative manufacturing technology can mass-produce family-oriented economical cars, and lead the electric vehicle industry to the end of Robotaxi. Musk has always believed that Tesla can lead in these three aspects and can lead at its own pace.

But,Its market value has dropped by one-third this year, which is the worst performance among the seven technology giants.It must be that some in the market no longer believe the story told by Musk.

From the time point of view, Apple gave up building a car, and Tesla decided to give up Model 2, both at the end of February. It was this month that BYD put forward the slogan of "electricity is lower than oil", and then launched a new model with a price below $10,000.

At the end of March, Tesla began to let its 1.7 million car owners in North America try FSD software for free for one month. This time, Musk said that FSD v12.3.3 is a driver supervision version.(Supervised)It is no longer a beta.(Beta). Tesla upgraded the driving experience in the urban street environment through an end-to-end, fully visual model.

However, both technically and in terms of supervision,FSD is far from its literal meaning of "fully automatic driving", that is, driving at L4 and above.Although Tesla has more GPUs, Google’s Waymo and China’s competitors have ways to catch up with it.

Musk has a plan to mass-produce cheap models with an annual output of 20 million by 2030. He proposed to produce Model 2 in a super factory in Texas or Berlin, and even decided to build a bigger super factory in Mexico.

However, with the rapid growth of electric vehicles in China, Musk has gradually realized that,You can’t win by competing with your competitors in China on the price of cars.Tesla has been surpassed by BYD in terms of shipments and product diversity of new energy vehicles. By 2025, when it launches a $25,000 car, it will have no advantage in cost performance compared with the $10,000 car in China. American politicians also realize that 100% tariff may be needed to prevent China electric vehicles from entering the American market. That’s not enough. The White House and the Ministry of Commerce even began to look for reasons from the perspective of "security".

Tesla’s innovation in automobile manufacturing technology, such as Musk’s "non-traditional" production method, that is, using Lego bricks instead of assembling in an assembly line, can reduce the cost by 50%. But it can really be put into use, probably by the end of next year at the earliest. Some experts believe that the cost reduction may be only one third, andThere is great uncertainty about the actual production capacity of the new production line.

Tesla is adjusting its strategy. The destination of electric vehicles is intelligent driving. Since China has taken the lead in the field of electric vehicles, Tesla decided to change the car-Competing on the smart driving track.According to the biography of Musk, it will produce FSD cars on the same small car production platform and enter the Robotaxi mode.

Probably this is what Musk said about Reuters. "(again)The reason for lying. This media, which was cursed by Musk and was "dying", exclusively exposed the news that Tesla was giving up the production of Model2.

Does this mean that Musk gave up the goal of mass manufacturing cheap cars? This is its long-term vision since 2006: start with high-end cars, enter the field of mass production of cheap family cars, and then realize automatic driving.

Until January of this year, Musk told investors that he would produce cheap models in a factory in Texas in the second half of 2025. At present, Tesla’s cheapest model Model 3 costs $39,000, and the cheap Volkswagen is priced at $25,000, which is called Model 2. But China is introducing electric cars with a price of $10,000 or less. Obviously, even with a 100% tariff, it is difficult to stop the export of China cars to the United States.

Another reason is thatThe demand for electric vehicles in European and American markets is weakening.The growth in China is also slowing down. Since the beginning of 2022, Tesla’s capacity utilization rate has been in a downward trend, currently about 74%.

Trend of Tesla’s capacity utilization

Musk said that if Robotaxi cannot be realized, the value of Tesla will be zero. From 2024, this is not an exaggeration. If we only build electric cars, whether we use humanoid robots or non-traditional ways to build cars, these are not the threshold for China enterprises who are good at fast learning and rapid scale.

Musk must take three steps and two steps to launch an economical electric car.(Musk can still be called Model 2)Combined with FSD, it is possible to create truly different products.

  Core reading

  Chairman of the Supreme Leader pointed out, "‘ Belt and Road ’ What we are pursuing is the great profits of a hundred flowers, not the small profits that stand out from the crowd. " Over the past three years, China and countries along the route have exchanged needed goods, complemented each other’s advantages, shared opportunities and met challenges together. The mutually beneficial cooperative ties have become tighter and tighter, and a win-win partnership network is being woven. Against the background of insufficient momentum of world economic growth, the progress of economic cooperation under the "Belt and Road Initiative" is undoubtedly a rare bright color.

  Through the long yellow sand and the rolling blue waves, the blueprint nodes are turning into prosperous business centers, criss-crossing the ancient Eurasia. In the construction of the "Belt and Road", trade cooperation has achieved fruitful results. In 2016, the total trade volume between China and countries along the route was 953.6 billion US dollars, accounting for 25.7% of China’s trade volume with the world.

  It is worth mentioning that the new format economy represented by Internet companies is also actively laying out and going to sea side by side. Cross-border e-commerce has ushered in explosive growth and has become a new kinetic energy that cannot be ignored in driving trade development.

  Moscow, Russia

  90% of foreign postal parcels come from China.

  Behind the "Communist Youth League Station" of Moscow subway and between the two major passenger stations, there is a conspicuous orange board house. This is the first physical exhibition hall of Alibaba AliExpress Russia.

  Entering the exhibition hall, there are many products made in China, such as "free soldier" outdoor products and Xiaomi mobile phones, in the small space. Alena, a shop assistant, told the reporter that there are endless customers every day. After the manufacturer has reached an agreement with AliExpress, the products can be displayed here, and customers can log in to the online shop of AliExpress by scanning the QR code next to it. "The arrival time of the order has been controlled within 15 days. If it is from a local warehouse ‘ Mall ’ Delivery, then it takes up to 5 days. "

  According to the survey report of Russian Electronic Commerce Association and Russian Post Office, in 2016, the sales of online stores in China accounted for 52% of the total cross-border online trade in Russia, and 90% of foreign postal parcels in Russia came from China. According to the data of Therns Market Research Company in January 2017, the AliExpress platform has 22.2 million users.

  In addition to the increase in figures, AliExpress’s business has also undergone qualitative changes in two years. Today’s AliExpress website is exquisite and atmospheric, and the product name of the machine that makes consumers laugh and cry is no longer seen. It has become history to wait 60 days after placing an order to receive the goods. The "shopping mall" model with guaranteed quality, delivery speed and after-sales service has also become more and more perfect.

  In the spring of 2015, when the reporter interviewed Mark Zavadski, the business development director of AliExpress Russia and CIS, he was still a "army of one". One person was responsible for conducting business in Russia, and other personnel responsible for maintaining AliExpress Russian website were all in Hangzhou. Two years later, AliExpress has a large-scale company and two physical exhibition halls in Moscow.

  This spring, AliExpress is even more active in Russia. Alipay is about to land in China, appearing in duty-free shops and other places where tourists from are crowded. The goods of domestic sellers in 20 Russian big cities will soon be delivered the next day. There are also articles on the internet that teach people to use Taobao to rebate. Zavadski said: "E-commerce has the opportunity to replicate the glory of China in Russia, and may even achieve more achievements."

  At Zavadski’s insistence, Russian local manufacturers and sellers have joined AliExpress. At present, the transaction volume of local merchants has accounted for 5%, and this year, they will jointly launch fans’ clothing with Spartak Football Club.

  AliExpress has set up the "AliExpress Silk Road" group on VK, Russia’s largest social networking site, with the slogan "Bring the best goods like thousands of years ago". The rapid development of AliExpress has impacted and changed the local postal, financial and e-commerce systems.

  According to statistics, in 2016, the scale of cross-border e-commerce transactions in China reached 6.3 trillion yuan. In addition to traditional hot countries, goods from countries along the "Belt and Road" are gradually becoming popular targets of Chinese consumers. Among the users of AliExpress, the proportion of users in countries along the "Belt and Road" exceeded 45%.

  Dubai, United Arab Emirates

  Build a bridge for SMEs’ exports

  In Dubai, the local office of Dalong. com is a bit crowded. More and more local retail store owners come to the door to buy Chinese-made mobile power supplies. "The shape is small and light, the capacitance is not small, and the price is not high. It is very good to sell." A local shopkeeper gave a favorable comment on these mobile power supplies.

  "China’s mobile power supply is delivered directly to our store, eliminating the middleman and reducing the price. Moreover, we can get the goods directly, not look at the picture and place an order. " Another shopkeeper said that China products directly enter the store, which makes people feel "safe".

  Small enterprises that make mobile power supplies can export and deliver them to your door. Why? To talk about this, we have to talk about Chongqing Dalong. com, which specializes in matchmaking for small and medium-sized enterprises and helps them go abroad. Now, many products of small and medium-sized enterprises have been exported to many countries, making local people fall in love with China goods.

  "Let China make a step across the border. This is our goal." Zhu Fuxing, vice president of Dalong.com, said that Dalong.com integrates the global resources of the Belt and Road Initiative. First, Dalong. com integrates overseas retail space to provide domestic enterprises with overseas trial sales opportunities; On the other hand, Dalong. com integrates and organizes the supply of domestic small and medium-sized enterprises to build a bridge for their exports.

  Because most small and medium-sized enterprises do not have the right to export, Dalong. com has built a "channel connection" to provide them with one-stop services such as payment recovery and export tax rebate. The financial person in charge of Dalong.com said: "Now the export orders of small and medium-sized enterprises have surged, and it is definitely impossible to use the traditional export tax rebate declaration method. Now we use the cross-border e-commerce online tax refund system of Chongqing State Taxation Bureau. We fill in the report online and automatically complete the comparison with the customs electronic port information. The whole process can be compressed to less than 7 days, and the cost is further reduced. "

  "In this way, we have solved the obstacles such as high cross-border procurement costs and excessive capital consumption of four types of overseas small and medium-sized offline retailers, online Internet providers, small and medium-sized wholesalers and professional buyers, and can realize the effective docking of China’s high-quality production capacity and overseas demand." Zhu Fuxing said.

  "Just give it a try for the first time, I didn’t expect the effect to be quite good. In the future, we will also serve the Dubai market in a targeted manner. " The relevant person in charge of Chongqing Yunzhong Technology Co., Ltd., which produces mobile power, introduced.

  At present, more than 30,000 small and medium-sized enterprises have begun to "go global" like Yunzhong Technology, among which more than 5,000 enterprises’ products have entered overseas markets. The LED lamps of an enterprise in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province have been sold in batches in Vietnam and other countries, and the sales volume has been rising. Inflators, wire brushes and adjustable wrenches produced in Qingdao, Shandong Province are well received in the UAE. Wedding products from Suzhou, Jiangsu, such as wedding gloves, embroidered skirts and flower baskets, are very popular in Canada, and some categories are sold out … …

  The "New Silk Road" was connected by the "net"

  Zhili Town, Wuxing District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, this "China International Children’s Wear Capital" has nearly 10,000 children’s wear enterprises, and children’s wear sales have accounted for nearly half of the country.

  On the morning of May 8, when the reporter came to a children’s wear enterprise named Buyi Caoren in the town, I saw that the workers were rushing to produce a batch of new children’s wear, and the target customer was Italy thousands of miles away.

  "Through cross-border electronic commerce, we put children’s clothes along ‘ Belt and Road ’ Sold to Europe and Southeast Asia. " Ma Weizhong, the person in charge of the company, told the reporter that the cross-border e-commerce sales of Buyi Caoren are currently 1,500 US dollars per day, and the products are exported to more than 10 countries and regions.

  In 2015, Ma Weizhong began to think about how to open up international sales channels through the "cloud market" of e-commerce. However, he can speak less than 10 sentences of English, and he wants to understand that the international market is not only "speechless" but also "road-blind". "Later, I found that I don’t have to worry. The city has built a series of cross-border e-commerce service platforms, which provide a lot of valuable information and carry out relevant training according to the needs of enterprises." In October 2015, Buyi Caoren was launched on Amazon, and 200 sets of children’s clothes were exported in less than a week.

  "I referred to the supply and demand information of major platforms and analyzed ‘ Belt and Road ’ Designing products based on market conditions in different countries has achieved good results. " Ma Weizhong told reporters that the government departments also helped to take the lead in coordinating and solving the problem of cross-border settlement of enterprises. "Originally, the handling fee was higher through third-party enterprises, but now the channels of professional financial institutions have been opened, and the single settlement only charges 40 dollars regardless of the amount."

  In recent years, Wuxing District of Huzhou City has built the first county-level international e-commerce application platform in China — — Xing Wu international e-commerce application platform, and set up all the way import and export Co., Ltd., specializing in serving the export of small and medium-sized children’s wear enterprises. Jiao Chenkang, a staff member of the Wuxing District Bureau of Commerce, said that at present, there are more than 100 cross-border e-commerce enterprises cultivated through various platforms in the district, 80% of which are children’s wear enterprises, and the monthly export volume exceeds 10 million yuan.

  “‘ Belt and Road ’ Construction has opened up new ideas for enterprises in our traditional industries. " Ma Weizhong said that he hoped that in the future, the service platform could build a large database of cross-border e-commerce and launch more accurate support policies based on data analysis.

Gansu Mala Tang, initiated a request for continuous wheat

Original greedy YOU Chengdu

To say that the recent hot bite is delicious, Gansu Mala Tang is one.

On social platforms, many people share their experiences of going to Gansu to eat mala Tang. There are also people who deliberately go to Gansu to study and make mala Tang and prepare to open a Mala Tang shop in Chengdu. Just a short sentence of "returning from school and preparing for the store" has gained a lot of attention and expectation.

After a dish is cooked, it is filled with chili pepper red oil. Special local pepper, like free. Gansu mala Tang, which is strange to say, makes people wonder for no reason: what is this smell?

No, Xiao Du turned into a taster and found a shop in Chengdu to have a taste first.

● ● ●

Zhaolinji Northwest Mala Tang is located in Jiaochangba Middle Street.

For the first time, in order to avoid the crowd, I deliberately arrived at 1 pm, but I still underestimated the heat.

The shop was full of people inside and outside, and the boss told him to wait for more than an hour, so he abandoned it and turned to eat a stir-fry across the street.

The next afternoon, I went again after an hour’s waiting, and I had to have a taste.

The door of the store is the vegetable picking area, and the innermost is the kitchen. Only four or five small tables are placed in the store, and four or five tables are temporarily placed outside. According to the boss, there are only two chefs in the shop, so they are really busy. They have to wait for about 40 minutes at almost any time, especially at lunch, and it starts an hour.

Eating here is like playing a game of breaking the barrier. In the crowded corridor of "make way, pass", it is difficult to get food, queue and so on, and this first level is considered to have passed.

After paying, getting the number plate, leaving the phone number, and roughly calculating the waiting time, the boss said to the waiting diners that "you can go around nearby first" has become a fixed process.

I interrupted and went to this mala Tang restaurant twice. Although the waiting time is really too long, I can feel the temperament of the small shop run by the northwest people is still different. The whole is a chaotic and orderly atmosphere. In the face of customers urging inquiries, or waiters busy making mistakes, the boss has no impatience for a moment, and his tone is gentle at any time, very atmospheric and easy to communicate. It is very harmonious for everyone to cooperate with the operation. It is very calm to solve the problem when a problem comes.

Customers who bring puppies to eat mala Tang.

Just look around. It’s not boring compared to a dam. This "street restaurant for workers on Hongxing Road" has many Sichuan restaurants, noodle restaurants and snacks along the street. If you don’t want to wait in line, you can choose many alternatives.

We, who are determined to eat mala Tang, choose to sit in a nearby coffee shop and take out the computer to write the above contents first.

● ● ●

We left at 1:23, and the boss called at 15:00. We walked from the coffee shop and waited for more than ten minutes. Mala Tang finally served.

Mala Tang can choose sweet spicy, medium spicy and spicy. Sweet and spicy were sold out at noon that day, so we chose medium spicy.

Cooked vegetables are covered with black and red peppers and need to be stirred by themselves. According to the boss, this is the Gangu pepper in Tianshui, Gansu, and this is the soul of Gansu Mala Tang.

Gangu County, Gansu Province, is known as the "hometown of peppers". Gangu pepper is a specialty here, and it is also a symbol product of chinese national geography.

The boss reminded me: "Be sure to mix well, and you can add more peppers at any time when there is not enough." Mix the "soul" fully, and this dish will be colored instantly, and the eyes will be greedy first.

When you take a bite, the aroma of chili pepper overflows in your mouth, and the medium spicy is not spicy, but pure. With a variety of vegetarian dishes, it is not greasy to eat. It’s as simple and refreshing as mixing a delicious dip when cooking with water.

However, this oily child will be a little bitter in the end. Therefore, personally, mala Tang can be eaten as a whole, but the expected value is not too great.

A friend who asked not to be named has been to Gansu to eat mala Tang, and said that by contrast, she still thinks Sichuan mala Tang is delicious. "Guess it may be because of geographical reasons. There are many frozen goods in local Mala Tang in Gansu, unlike our small county liver, beef, all kinds of delicious internal organs in Sichuan, and there are not many fresh vegetables. But the lasagna and potato chips are really delicious. "

As for why Gansu Mala Tang is so hot, my friend said, "It was a gust of wind that blew to Chengdu."

In the cupboard of this shop, there are still more vegetables but less meat. However, as my friend said, his dry-mixed juice and wide powder really attracted me the most. The wide flour made of potato flour tastes very soft and glutinous, which is very special.

Look carefully at the broken section, and there is still a little crystal sense. Very well received, which is what I want to eat in the street noodle restaurant.

At three or four o’clock, there were fewer guests in the store. At last, the boss can take a short rest and start to sit by and stir mala Tang for the guests, and he wants to eat it himself. The girl at the next table added two spoonfuls of chili pepper, and she liked the taste very much.

I saw some local people comment: "Although it can’t be completely restored, it still has that taste." I took time to chat with my boss. He said that they came from Zhang Ye and opened in Chengdu a few months before Gansu Mala Tang became popular on the Internet. He didn’t expect it to be so hot himself. The present shop is too small, and a new one may be opened recently. So, if you are greedy, please be prepared to wait, and remember not to rush to the meal. The price/performance ratio of the store is good, so you can try it and eat it fresh.

Editors and photographers can do it.

High Power+High Torque Latest Domestic Gasoline Pickup Power Market

Although diesel power still accounts for more than 70% of the domestic pickup truck market, with the development of pickup truck ride and the change of users’ consumption concept, gasoline-powered pickup trucks are accepted by more and more consumers. With the development of technology, while retaining high horsepower, the torque level of gasoline pickup trucks has also increased rapidly. The worry-free use experience and excellent power feeling have spawned more consumer demand, and the choice of gasoline pickup trucks has gradually enriched.

Not long ago, China pickup network counted the engine models and parameters used in mainstream diesel pickup trucks. Today, let’s take a look at what new changes have been made in the power of gasoline pickup trucks.

High Power+High Torque Latest Domestic Gasoline Pickup Power Market

Like diesel power, domestic pickup trucks have obviously enriched the gasoline engines, and a number of excellent self-owned brand engines have emerged, such as the 3.0T V6 gasoline engine of Great Wall, the 2.0T Blue Whale engine of Chang ‘an, and the 20A4E engine of SAIC Chase, which have excellent performance in power and torque parameters. The rise of these independent brand engines has a positive impact on improving the overall level of domestic pickup trucks, promoting technological progress in the industry and enhancing international competitiveness.

As can be seen from the data, the gasoline engine of domestic pickup truck has been significantly improved in power performance, which not only pursues high power, but also pays attention to high torque output. This design makes pickup truck perform better in load and traction, and adapts to diversified use requirements. On the technical level, the domestic pickup gasoline engine has been continuously upgraded, with the emergence of double supercharging technology, Miller cycle and 48V light mixing system, which greatly improved the fuel efficiency and power performance.

High Power+High Torque Latest Domestic Gasoline Pickup Power Market

High Power+High Torque Latest Domestic Gasoline Pickup Power Market

Among them, the 3.0T V6 engine on the Great Wall has a maximum power of 264 kW and a peak torque of 500 Nm, which is one of the peaks of domestic gasoline engines at present and one of the few domestic self-developed V6 engines that we can buy. Jiangling Ford 2.3T is mounted on the Almighty, Light Chaser, Explorer, Flying Admiral and Ford pickup trucks on Jiangling Avenue. Its excellent power level and two different power adjustments make an engine adapt to more models. SAIC Chase’s diesel power once achieved 500 Nm ahead of domestic pickup trucks, and its gasoline engine also performed well. Among the current gasoline pickup trucks with a displacement of about 2.0T, SAIC Chase’s 20A4E power has the largest horsepower performance, with the maximum engine power reaching 192 kW and the peak torque of 410 Nm.

In addition, the Blue Whale 2.0T powered by Chang ‘an, Dongan 2.0T powered by Jianghuai and Mitsubishi 2.0T powered by Futian Mars are among the best in terms of power and torque parameters, and these engines have been verified for many years, and their quality and reliability are guaranteed.

High Power+High Torque Latest Domestic Gasoline Pickup Power Market

At present, in addition to the self-owned brand engines, the most widely used gasoline engine is still the 4K22 engine with a displacement of 2.4T produced by Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi, and this power is selected by Great Wall, SAIC Datong Interstellar L, /T6 and other products. Mitsubishi gasoline engine was opened for cooperation and matching in the fifth stage of the country, and it was already one of the gasoline power with the highest loading rate at that time. After upgrading to the sixth stage of the country, the power and torque of the engine were further improved. In addition, in recent years, Aerospace Mitsubishi 4K31 Power, Wuling Willow 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and Dongan 2.0T Power have been gradually applied to domestic pickup trucks.

In terms of displacement, domestic gasoline pickups are mainly 2.0L and 2.4L, and their power performance has been improved as a whole. The pickup truck with the largest displacement is the 3.0T Shanhai cannon, while the small displacement products are the Great Wall Fengjun 5 dry rice version with 1.5 displacement, ZTE with 1.6 displacement, Jiangling and Qingling Daka with 1.8 displacement, etc. Most of these products are oriented to the tool market, and the fuel consumption is low when driving in cities and at low speed, and the price of the whole vehicle is more close to the people because of the lower cost.

High Power+High Torque Latest Domestic Gasoline Pickup Power Market

It can be seen that with the improvement of technical level and emission standards, the domestic pickup gasoline engine has been continuously optimized, and pickup truck models have gradually changed from traditional commercial vehicles to passenger cars. In the future, with the continuous progress of technology and further market segmentation, it is believed that gasoline pickup trucks will continue to expand their market share with diversified power choices and continuously improved performance to meet the individual needs of more users.

Evaluation of five shared charging treasures: which one is the strongest?

No one expected that the wind of sharing came so quickly and so strongly, from renting a house, taking a taxi and renting a car, it suddenly swept into the field of charging treasures.

A few days ago, Lei Jun brought Xiaomi Technology, Zimi Technology and Shunwei Capital under his name to share the charging treasure.Just on the 10th of last month, Xiaodian Technology received 100 million RMB financing led by Tencent, plus incoming calls, Hi-power, ANKER Street Power, Didi Charging, Mobao Energy, etc., and there are dozens of shared charging brands.And almost all of them completed huge financing at the same time, and the war of attacking the city and plundering the land was imminent.

Time seems to be back in 2015. After five years of fighting with each other, Meituan and Dianping finally merged, and Didi and Uber also came together hand in hand.

Evaluation of five shared charging treasures: which one is the strongest?

Nowadays, the prospect of shared charging treasure is not clear, and the involvement of many capitals will inevitably accelerate the homogenization of shared charging treasure, and finally inevitably lead to the road of merger.Whoever can provide better service will have a greater chance to stay.

The author deeply visited the shared charging treasures in Shenzhen and experienced the differences in the use of shared charging treasures by various brands. Next, we will make a simple comparison from the aspects of on-site rental experience and use experience.

I. Lending and repayment process and charges

Evaluation of five shared charging treasures: which one is the strongest?

In terms of service convenience, all shared charging treasure operators provide map location services, which are generally distributed in shopping malls, restaurants, cafes, bars and other places with high traffic. Users can accurately find the nearest rental point according to the positioning.

Each rental terminal has different forms. In contrast, the cloud rental terminal is very low in appearance and function. But it is also the only platform that can use charging treasure without paying a deposit.

As far as the use fee is concerned, cloud rental electricity is the most grounded, providing free rental service within 3 hours and providing free charging lines;

The charging standards of other families are basically the same. ANKER Street Power, Incoming Call and Cloud Charging Bar support two platforms: WeChat and Alipay.

Call, cloud charge, sesame credit over 600 points can be exempted from deposit.

Second, the appearance

First of all, it may be to consider the problem of achieving operating costs. These five charging treasures are all made of plastic shells, and they all look relatively cheap.

Among them, ANKER Street Electric is the smallest, easy to hold, and has its own charging short line; The cloud charging bar is the largest in size, and its surface is brushed with stripes, and it also comes with a charging short line;

The design of cloud rental electricity is feminine, and the digital panel is matched with a slim body, giving people a feeling of fragility;

The design style of AUO, which adopts two-stage shell and the edges are not chamfered, is full of masculinity;

In contrast, Caller Technology does not seem to have its own unique appearance characteristics.

Five shared charging treasures are highly contrasted. From left to right, it is ANKER Street Power, Friends Power, Cloud Rent Power, Incoming Call and Cloud Charge Bar.

Evaluation of five shared charging treasures: which one is the strongest?

Thickness comparison of five shared charging treasures. From left to right, it is cloud charging bar, incoming call, cloud rental electricity, friend electricity and ANKER street electricity.

Evaluation of five shared charging treasures: which one is the strongest?

Width comparison of five shared charging treasures. From left to right, it is ANKER Street Power, Friends Power, Cloud Rent Power, Incoming Call and Cloud Charge Bar.

At first glance, these five shared charging treasures are similar to the common charging treasures on the market, but on closer inspection, you will find that there will be metal contact designs at the bottom of the shared charging treasure, ranging from 3 to 5.

This is also their input interface when charging, which is used with the metal contacts on their respective rental machines, avoiding the process of plugging and unplugging the traditional interface and being more convenient to use. Among them, the cloud charging bar and the cloud renting electricity have contacts at both ends, so the advantage of this design is that there is no need to consider the direction when returning the charging treasure.

Third, the parameters and hardware configuration

When you need to rent a charging treasure when your mobile phone is out of power and you don’t have your own power supply, I believe more people are interested in the performance rather than the appearance of the charging treasure. Most people don’t like things that are "shiny on the surface of donkey eggs". After all, emergency use pays attention to practicality and reliability. Only when it meets the requirements of consumers can it really be regarded as a conscience product.

Evaluation of five shared charging treasures: which one is the strongest?

Generally speaking, when we buy a charging treasure, the parameters we usually consider are capacity and input and output power. Of course, for some people, appearance is also indispensable. But for the shared power supply treasure, the most important thing is the capacity and output power, and the capacity is related to whether the receiving equipment can be filled; The output power determines the charging time.

Only when both meet the requirements can users get a better experience. The author made a simple statistics on the nominal parameters of these five shared charging treasures. By comparison, it is found that the capacity of each charging treasure is not large, and the smallest one is only 4000mAh. However, it is not a big problem to supply short-term power to ordinary mobile phones, tablets and other devices when fully charged.

What makes people vomit is their output power. The highest cloud charging bar is 5V2.4A, and the rest is 5V2.1A.. In such a hot background of fast charging industry, as a shared resource, fast charging is not supported, which is contrary to the development trend.Of course, from the operator’s point of view, perhaps it is hoped that the slower the user charges, the better, so that more billing time can be won. After all, the service is provided free of charge within one hour.

Evaluation of five shared charging treasures: which one is the strongest?

In terms of hardware configuration, we only consider the input and output ports and data lines here. In contrast, the cloud charging bar has the best hardware configuration, and this one can supply power to two devices at the same time, but it needs to bring its own charging cable.

butThe spit point here is the friend call and the incoming call, which can be summed up in one sentence: "If you borrow my charging treasure, you must buy my line." In an emergency, most consumers can only be wronged and perfect for this kind of marketing method with strong buying and selling colors.

Moreover, the quality of 10RMB//charging line is unknown, which makes people think that "I rent a charging treasure, but I earn money from the charging line!"

IV. Measured Output Performance

After talking about the nominal parameters and configuration, let’s test the actual data in the above table. Here, the professional test instrument POWER-Z is used.

Eating in Iran: a tongue-tip adventure through time and silk road

Luna

I always think that the Iranian diet is hard to describe with the word "beauty". The cooking method is single, the ingredients are limited, and the taste is not rich … It is too easy to "spit" the Iranian diet. However, the history of more than 3,000 years, the location at the turn of Asia and Europe, and the arid environment have all brought unique personality to the Iranian diet. It’s more like an adventure on the tip of the tongue. The sense of taste has shuttled through the Silk Road in Wan Li for thousands of years. In the end, I can’t simply evaluate it with delicious or unpalatable food, but I can say that diet has become an important way to understand Iran.

Ramadan survival

Because I arrived in Ramadan, my foraging experience in Iran was really not good. Most restaurants are closed, and there is almost no food for a whole day. But from the few small restaurants that are still open, I can get a glimpse of the most common and common diet in Iran.

crusty

I stood on the street with a high temperature of more than 40 degrees and gathered my headscarf. The scorching sun made me a little dizzy. There are almost no pedestrians on the streets of Isfahan, and all the shops are closed during Ramadan, except one: the shopkeeper hiding in the shadow is guarding a bag of neatly stacked cakes.

Ravensh All the pictures in this article were taken by Luna.

Lavash is an unfermented pancake, which is made of water and flour. The production method is described as "like a printed newspaper" in the documentary "Flavor Man". In fact, I think it tastes like chewing old newspapers, dry, tough and tasteless. But it is one of the daily staple foods in the Middle East, including Iran, and the surrounding Caucasus and Central Asia. Ravensh can be guaranteed for up to 6 months. Imagine the merchants in ancient Persia crossing the snow-capped mountains, Gobi desert and desert in Eurasia with camel teams. This kind of portable and full-bodied cake is really an excellent choice.

There are many kinds of Iranian cakes, and the word "Naan" comes from Persian. With the spread of Silk Road trade, fermented flour cakes have formed different forms in various places. For example, sangak in Iran is quite similar to Shizi steamed bread in Shaanxi.

Kebab

At dusk, the announcement sounded, announcing the end of the day when eating was forbidden and the time for dinner came. But even at night, there are not many restaurants open in Tabrizi, and there are even fewer choices on the menu, mainly kebab. This kind of meat dishes mostly use barbecue as a cooking method, which is one of the most popular main dishes in the Middle East, and it is eaten with rice or naan.

My Kebab

However, the food served startled me: a yellow stick was placed in the middle of the plate, with half a black baked tomato beside it, dotted with two green peppers. That yellow stick is my roast chicken, which is dry, hard and hard. As for tomatoes, I can’t bear to eat them. This dinner seems to laugh at me, who was baked in the hot Ramadan sun all day.

Mutton brain soup

Perhaps there are too few restaurants open in Ramadan. During my month in Iran, I have never eaten the rumored fresh and juicy Persian barbecue. The most important food for survival in Ramadan is the sheep brain soup that looks ferocious.

The hot night wind in Tehran blew a fragrance in front of me, and I found this small shop in a quiet side street along the fragrance. The sheep’s head is being stewed in a soup pot, with empty eyes looking straight at the diners, but the milky soup is bubbling, which makes me irresistible because of hunger and kebab.

 Mutton Soup

The mutton soup is rich, with a little spice and sweetness, which just neutralizes the fishy smell of mutton. I quickly drank a bowl and then ate the mutton satisfactorily. Later, I discovered that this way of eating was wrong. On the second visit, the boss demonstrated the correct way of local dining: first, add salt, lemon juice and cinnamon powder to taste, and then break the naan into pieces and throw it into the soup-a bit like mutton buns in Xi ‘an, which is obviously the result of thousands of years of exchanges between the East and the West.

Bosi renjia

It was not until I stayed in a traditional hotel and ate local home cooking that my adventure with the tip of my tongue entered a slightly pleasant period. Iran’s diet depends largely on local products, and local home cooking can better reflect different tastes in different regions, and the enthusiasm of Persians will also add a lot of color to food.

Dizi

Many traditional mansions in Kashan, Shiraz and Yazd have been converted into hotels, continuing the ancient hospitality. These mansions usually have a history of more than 100 years. Ancient and beautiful houses surround the courtyard. Pomegranate trees are planted in front of the porch, and there is a pool of clear water in the middle of the courtyard, which occasionally brings coolness when the wind blows.

The temperature in Shiraz in the valley is lower than that in other cities on the edge of the desert. We guests lie on couches laid in the shade of the courtyard and enjoy black tea, dates, salty yogurt and dizi.

Dizi

Dizi is a kind of stew, named after the earthenware pot where the stew is held, which is very common in Iran. Stew chickpeas, potatoes, tomatoes and mutton together until they are soft and rotten. Before eating, mash all these ingredients with a pestle, and then scoop out the broken mud with a spoon or naan cake to eat. Ignoring the slightly disgusting process of mashing, I eat it as stewed mutton with potatoes. The meat is delicious and melts in the mouth, making it the best main course in Iran.

Hummus

Near Persepolis, the ruins of the ancient Persian capital, I first walked into a local family. Surrounded by deserts, the whole village is almost made of local materials and built of loess. The host greeted us at the door and walked into his small courtyard. A bright and soft carpet had been laid in the cool and pleasant room, and the hostess set lunch in the middle of the carpet with a smile.

Hummus and hummus soup

Of course, the staple food is Ravensh, and the main course is hummus and hummus soup. Chickpea originated in the Middle East, and was introduced to China from Persia in the Yuan Dynasty, and often appeared in the prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine. Middle Eastern countries, including Iran, have always used chickpeas as ingredients. The mashed beans are paired with olive oil and mint leaves, and the taste is fresh and dense. Pepper, onion and sour cream are added to bean soup, which is a good way to supplement nutrition in the barren desert.

After dinner, the host family sent black tea. In the warm water vapor, the host sang a song on the tambourine. Although the lyrics were incomprehensible, the music was cheerful and melodious. At that moment, I seemed to have joined the caravan more than 1000 years ago. After a long journey, travelers from far away finally came to the dream Persian capital.

camel meat

Iranians, or "Persians" as they prefer to say, have been outstanding businessmen on the Eurasian continent since ancient times. Their camel team crosses the desert Gobi and communicates with things, so camel meat is also a very popular food in Yazd, on the edge of the desert.

In this ancient city built with loess bricks, there is a traditional hotel named "Silk Road" that provides camel meat with two cooking methods: roasting and stewing. The meat quality of camel is a little rough, even the stewed meat can’t reach the soft rotten degree of mutton, but the meat is purer and more rustic, and there is no fishy smell, which can satisfy meat lovers.

A little sweet and sour

In the last few days of my Iranian trip, the end of Ramadan has restored amazing vitality to all cities. The streets that were originally empty have become bustling, shops in Bazzarri have opened one after another, and fragrant spices and sweet dried fruits are full, and I have also ushered in the most delicious period of food.

Bazzarri’s dried fruits

Saffron and Berberis

Under the bright sun in Tehran, a long line outside Bazaar attracted my attention. People stood in the high temperature and talked eagerly. The procession extended from the street to the second floor of a small building. I leaned over and looked around. On the second floor, there was a lively restaurant, full of cheerful diners and full of sweet food. Like Iranians, I was hungry for almost a whole month, and I immediately joined the queue-I didn’t even know what to eat at that time.

Zereshk Polo Morg

An hour later, I ate the only food served in the restaurant: Zereshk Polo Morgh. It looks very good. The diced orange-red rice is crispy outside and tender inside, with ruby-colored Berberis and bright green happy nuts scattered on it, and a big chicken leg.

I took a bite. The rice was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The entrance was very sour, but the aftertaste was faintly sweet. It was very appetizing on a hot summer day. No wonder so many people lined up. The orange-red color of rice comes from Iran’s specialty saffron, and Berberis is added. Its sour taste and salty chicken legs make the whole dish interesting.

This is the most delicious meal I have ever eaten in Iran, but my traveling companion was bitten by acid.

cherry

The vehicle took us out of Gatzwin and headed for the colorful Elbers Mountains. As the altitude increased, the temperature gradually dropped, and green Woods began to appear in the originally barren valley. Iranians on the roadside are guarding boxes of bright red cherries, waiting for the buyers in the city to arrive.

cherry

When it comes to fruits in the Middle East, sweet dates and figs are often mentioned. They are made into dried fruits and exported in large quantities, which are world-famous. But don’t forget that Iran is also one of the origins of cherries. Cherry trees are everywhere in the valley from Tabrizi to Gatzwin, and ripe red cherries are hung on thick green branches, which is the most pleasant scenery in hot summer.

Because of its origin, Iranian cherries are extremely cheap. The best quality cherries are about the same size as the diameter of a dollar coin, and the fruit is full and round. When you take a bite, it immediately overflows with sweet and sour juice, and the price is only 6 yuan a catty. Think about the high price of cherries in China, and the sudden arrival of "freedom of cherries" makes me and my traveling companions very happy, and I can’t wait to finish my lifetime quota of cherries here.

ice cream

Before the trip, I was looking forward to eating ice cream every day in Iran. As the origin of saffron and pistachio, both flavors of ice cream are quite popular in Iran. So immediately after Ramadan, I rushed into the first ice drink shop I saw in Gatzwin.

The shopkeeper was in business with his young son, and when he saw me, he burst into a Persian warm smile. Language barrier, the owner simply opened the freezer for me to choose. A cold air rushed out and sprayed my face, and my mind was clear for a few minutes. I picked out the yellow and white ice cream that other guests were eating. The teenager carefully took out the humble little box and put it on the table, and handed me the plastic spoon. The white part is milky, the yellow part is pistachio, and the side is also stained with fine pistachio pieces.

Pistachio nuts ice cream

This small green dried fruit originated in Iran and Iran, which was the first country to cultivate pistachios artificially and now the largest producer in the world. The taste of ice cream is not rich, but it tastes a little tough. The dense milk flavor is sweet with pistachios. When I swallow it, it is like finding a clear spring in the hot sun at noon in the desert-my Iranian food adventure is finally complete.

Don’t drive a quarrelsome car! The off-road vehicle forcibly overtook the big truck driver "angry" and was detained.

       CCTV News:On July 29, 2018, on the Shengli overpass in Liuzhou, Guangxi, a large truck and an off-road vehicle quarreled with each other and left, causing the two vehicles to collide and hit a normal car. Then the large truck pushed the off-road vehicle to the left and moved forward for more than 20 meters, and the off-road vehicle was stuck between the large truck and the bridge border guardrail.

one

       The police retrieved the driving tracks of the two cars before, and found that at about 1: 30 in the afternoon, when the big truck driven by Huang was driving to Hedong Bridge, the off-road vehicle driven by Zeng came from the ramp, and the sudden entry of the off-road vehicle did not pay attention to avoidance, which was the fuse of this contradiction.

       Zhou Guanghai, Liuzhou traffic police: "The cause of this incident is that the jeep forcibly overtook him, and then the big truck honked to warn him, and then the jeep braked and slowed down to stop the big truck from moving forward. The big truck (driver) has produced some emotional changes, that is, carrying gas and jeep to do something else. "

       The traffic police roughly calculated that from Hedong Bridge to Shengli Overpass, large trucks and off-road vehicles were separated from each other as many as seven times in the traffic flow, and many normal vehicles were affected and avoided. After the two cars collided, the big truck continued to drive and pushed the off-road vehicle to the edge of the overpass. The off-road vehicle was caught "four feet off the ground", and there was a scratch of more than 10 meters on the side of the guardrail, and black brake marks were left on the ground.

       The traffic police controlled the drivers of both sides and took them to the hospital for blood test. Zeng, the driver of off-road vehicle, had a blood alcohol content of 42 mg per 100 ml, which belonged to drunk driving, but Zeng said that he did not drink alcohol on the day of the incident, but drank it the night before. The traffic police department will further investigate and deal with it according to law. Although Huang, a driver of a big truck, didn’t drink and drive, he ignored the life safety of others, made acts of deliberately leaving another car and colliding with other vehicles, and was criminally detained on suspicion of endangering public safety in a dangerous way.

one

       Huang, the driver of the big truck: "At that time, I may have been driven by him all the way, a little angry and impulsive, and then I didn’t expect the consequences. I didn’t brake either, so I added a little throttle and drove all the way. I don’t know how I pushed him to the viaduct. I will definitely regret it now. Now I think it was too impulsive at that time. I should have braked at that time. "

       Driving in hot summer is easy to make people upset, but since driving on the road, drivers and friends should not let bad emotions dominate their driving behavior, otherwise traffic accidents are inevitable.

III. Business Review and Prospect

  I. Discussion and analysis of business conditions

  The year 2021 is the year when China has built a well-off society in an all-round way, and it is also the first year of the 14 th Five-Year Plan. Standing at the historical intersection of the goal of "two hundred years", facing the global COVID-19 epidemic and the national joint "purchasing with quantity" environment, under the strong leadership of the board of directors, all employees of the company actively responded to the risks and challenges in operation, forged ahead, continued to reform, accelerated the research and development progress of new materials, new processes and new products, and actively expanded new pipelines to adapt to the new normal of epidemic and centralized procurement.

  

  II. Description of the company’s main business, business model, industry and R&D during the reporting period.

  (a) the main business, main products or services.

  The company is a leading orthopedic medical device manufacturer in China, and its main business is the research and development, production and sales of implantable orthopedic medical devices. The main products are joint prosthesis products and spinal implant products. The company is one of the enterprises with relatively complete medical device registration certificates in the field of joint prosthesis in China, covering four major human joint prosthesis products, namely shoulder, elbow, hip and knee, and spinal implant products are a full range of product combinations of spinal internal fixation systems.

  (II) Main business models

  Based on the regulatory laws and regulations of the medical device industry, the national industrial policy, the industry competition pattern, the upstream and downstream development level of the industry, the market operation environment and other factors, and combined with the company’s own development strategic planning, resource factors and technical strength, the company’s business model is determined together.

  1. Purchasing mode

  The main procurement contents of the company include three categories: the first category is raw materials, mainly including ceramic blanks, cobalt blanks, titanium blanks, polyethylene and so on; The second category is energy power; The third category serves external processing, mainly including spraying, basic machining and sterilization. The company set up a purchasing department to take charge of the procurement of raw materials and outsourcing services, and formulated a perfect workflow to ensure the efficient operation of the business.

  (1) Procurement process

  The purchasing department of the company shall be responsible for making purchasing plans, preparing purchasing orders, transmitting purchasing information, signing purchasing contracts, checking raw and auxiliary materials and establishing purchasing records according to the purchasing needs of various departments.

  In terms of finished products and raw materials, the company’s procurement process is mainly carried out by bidding. First, the purchasing department conducts pre-qualification and selects three or more qualified units or suppliers to invite bids. Then, the purchasing department and the person in charge of purchasing control the bidding process and select one or more successful bidders for cooperation. The procurement contract drawn up during cooperation should include the necessary clauses such as quality constraint, time constraint and liability for breach of contract. After the contract is approved by the company, sign a purchase contract and quality agreement with the supplier, and ask the supplier to issue relevant certification materials. After the goods arrive, the quality department will control the quality. For outsourcing manufacturers, the company strictly controls the quality of outsourcing products and services by establishing and strictly implementing the selection criteria of outsourcing manufacturers and regularly evaluating outsourcing manufacturers.

  (2) Development and management of suppliers

  ① supplier access and evaluation mechanism

  The selection mechanism of suppliers shall be implemented in accordance with the company’s bidding system. Suppliers must have business licenses, legal production and operation certificates, quality management system-related documents, performance and safety evaluation materials of purchased goods, self-inspection reports of enterprises or effective inspection reports issued by qualified inspection institutions. Subsequently, the purchasing department took the lead in organizing the production department, R&D department and quality department to jointly invite tenders, and the suppliers who passed the evaluation were included in the List of Qualified Suppliers, which took effect after being approved by the management of the company.

  ② Quality control measures for suppliers’ supply.

  The company agreed on matters related to quality compensation in the contract and signed a Quality Agreement with the supplier, binding the quality responsibilities of both parties. If the product is unqualified due to the supplier’s reasons, the supplier shall compensate the buyer for the losses according to the agreement. The company conducts normalized quality communication with suppliers to find out the reasons for unqualified raw materials and ask suppliers to make improvements. After the supplier improvement is completed, the company will check the effectiveness of the improvement, and the company will terminate the cooperation relationship with the supplier who fails to improve as required. The company conducts regular on-site inspections or temporary spot checks on major suppliers, inspects the supplier’s production process, ex-factory inspection process, personnel and equipment and corresponding process records, and judges whether the supplier has quality management capabilities, thus ensuring the quality of supply.

  ③ Settlement mode and settlement cycle

  The company checks with suppliers every month, and after checking with the system, sorts out different types of business payment documents, which are approved by department managers and company leaders and then transferred to financial personnel for review and remittance.

  The company settles accounts according to the payment time agreed in the contract, and suppliers with long-term cooperation and a certain purchase amount have a certain credit line.

  2. Production mode

  The company mainly produces based on strategic planning, market demand and annual sales target. With the cooperation of relevant departments, the production department carries out the established production and processing tasks according to the production plan, ensuring the company’s annual supply capacity and ensuring a certain safety inventory.

  The production department tracks the orders received by the sales department in real time, and makes a production plan according to the sales volume in previous years in combination with the company’s safety inventory standards. After the production plan is determined, the production department issues the production task list according to the planned progress, and then enters the specific production process. After picking materials, the production personnel gradually carry out machining, polishing, lettering, cleaning, aseptic treatment and other links, and finally complete the warehousing. The production department of the company strictly implements the system related to production safety. In addition, the company sends safety personnel to supervise and inspect its work, strictly implements rectification for violations of rules and disciplines, and strengthens on-site management and hidden danger investigation to ensure the elimination of hidden dangers and reduce safety accidents.

  The company’s main production modes are as follows:

  For products with many varieties and small and medium batches, the company adopts the unit production management mode. This model has the advantage of high efficiency of assembly line production, and can also adapt to the changes of product variety and quantity quickly. The unitized production management mode is mainly composed of two parts: production unit and management unit, in which the production unit takes products as the center, centralizes the layout of equipment with different functions according to the process flow, and creates hardware conditions for realizing continuous production flow; The management unit carries out a series of management optimization around the planning management, personnel management, material management, equipment management and quality management of the production unit, so as to shorten the product delivery cycle and improve the production efficiency on the premise of ensuring the product quality. Under the unitized production management mode, the equipment, personnel and materials are reasonably allocated, and the production mode of "one person and multiple processes" with the goal of "one flow" in the unit is conducive to shortening the processing time and production change time of products with many varieties and small and medium batches.

  For products with few varieties and large output, the company adopts multi-product batch production mode. In this mode, most products are designed in standardized modules, and the parts are universal and standardized. Employees have a high degree of division of labor and high proficiency in single process operation; Metal die casting, precision casting, die forging, precision forging and other methods are widely used in the production of blanks, with high precision, small machining allowance and high material utilization rate; The production line mostly adopts special and efficient equipment and process equipment, and repeatedly produces one or several similar products. The production process is mechanized and the production cycle is short.

  For products with individual special requirements, the company adopts customized production mode. Customized production is based on modular design and standardization of parts. According to the special needs of customers, combined with the application of new materials and flexible manufacturing, it carries out secondary development and reorganizes the product structure and manufacturing process. This model not only meets the demand of customization, but also helps to reduce development costs, improve production efficiency and shorten delivery cycle.

  In addition, the company introduced automatic production equipment in some production links to further improve production efficiency. For example, the company introduced intelligent grinding and polishing automation equipment to grind and polish the femoral stem, ensuring the accuracy of repeated positioning, while the built-in service information system can monitor the feeding of the moving machinery, and the motion control technology can also optimize the performance of the machine.

  In addition to the above-mentioned self-production mode, based on the existing production capacity and cost control, the company entrusts some production processes to outsourcing manufacturers with corresponding qualifications or conditions for production, mainly involving product spraying, sterilization, surgical tool processing and so on.

  3. Sales model

  During the reporting period, the promotion of the "two-vote system" policy has brought certain changes to the sales model of the company and enterprises in the same industry. Before the implementation of the "two-vote system" policy, most enterprises in the industry mainly used the distribution mode to realize the professional division of R&D, production and terminal sales, that is, the manufacturers of orthopedic medical devices focused on the R&D, production, filing, registration and marketing of various orthopedic implants and instruments and tools, and the professional dealers focused on cooperating with the manufacturers to complete the marketing, terminal channel construction, sales and distribution, follow-up service for end customers, and operation follow-up. After the implementation of the "two-vote system" policy, the traditional distribution model was challenged, and sales service providers began to assume the responsibilities of some traditional distributors. Medical device manufacturers, distributors/distributors and sales service providers participated in the product sales and supporting services.

  The sales modes of the company’s main products include traditional distribution mode, two-vote distribution mode, distributor mode and direct sales mode. During the reporting period, the company’s sales model was mainly based on the traditional distribution model. With the implementation of the "two-vote system", in recent years, the income of the company’s two-vote distribution model and distributor model has increased year by year.

  (1) the traditional distribution model

  During the reporting period, the traditional distribution mode was the main sales mode of the company. The main criteria for the company to select a distributor are that the distributor has the qualification for operating orthopedic products stipulated by the state, and the past financial performance and legal compliance of the distributor need to be investigated by the company’s background and field investigation. Due to the different amount of hospital operations, the company has no uniform minimum absolute sales requirements for dealers, but for dealers in some areas, the company will implement a rebate policy when their sales reach a certain target. The company makes full use of the distributor’s sales network and geographical advantages, constantly tapping potential customers, enhancing the product marketing ability and expanding the market share of products. The dealer agreement period is usually one year and is renewed every year.

  Under the traditional distribution mode, products are sold to terminal hospitals through traditional distributors. Distributors undertake the responsibilities of channel development and customer maintenance, and provide follow-up service and other technical services including preoperative consultation, cargo transportation and equipment disinfection to end customers. At the same time, the marketing team of the company assists distributors to jointly complete channel development and customer maintenance by providing some technical and professional support. The business process of the company’s traditional distribution model is as follows:

  Under the traditional distribution mode, the company’s payment system is assessed according to two standards: credit period and credit limit, and the payment is required according to the standard that is given priority. At present, most dealers expire the credit line first. After the credit line expires, the company stops the delivery, and the company will deliver the goods after the dealer makes the payment.

  During the reporting period, the traditional distribution mode of the company was buyout sales.

  (2) Two-vote distribution mode

  Under the two-vote distribution mode, products are sold to terminal hospitals through two-vote distributors. Among them, the two-vote distributor only undertakes the functions of channel development and customer maintenance with the assistance of the company, while the follow-up service and other technical services are undertaken by the sales service provider. The business process of the company’s two-vote distribution model is as follows:

  (3) Distributor mode

  Under the distributor mode, the company’s products are sold to terminal hospitals through distributors. In this mode, the distributor does not undertake the promotion service function, while the sales service provider undertakes the follow-up service and other technical services under the two-vote distribution mode, and also carries out channel development and customer maintenance with the assistance of the company. In the process of selecting a sales service provider, the company mainly considers the local end-user resources, past service experience, historical cooperation, service personnel’s ability and other factors. The business process of company distributor mode is as follows:

  (4) Direct selling mode

  During the reporting period, the company’s main direct selling customer terminals were major hospitals, and the company had long-term and stable cooperative relations with major direct selling terminal hospitals. In recent years, the company’s high-end products have been listed one after another, and the company has also carried out several direct sales of customization/assembly and standard joints in Beijing and other regions. Under the direct selling mode, the channel development, customer maintenance, follow-up service and other technical services of the company’s products are mainly completed by the company’s self-built marketing team. The price of the company’s products is confirmed according to the winning bid price or the internal filing price of the hospital. The business process of the company’s direct selling mode is as follows:

  For overseas markets, the company may adopt distribution mode, ODM or OEM mode for sales according to the specific situation.

  In addition, in order to further introduce magnesium alloy-related orthopedic implant products and expand the market of trauma implant products, the company entered into a cooperation and distribution agreement with SynteixAsiaPTE.LTD in August 2019 to obtain the marketing, promotion and sales rights of related products in China, and agreed to purchase certain minimum purchase quantities of contract products within five years. The contract is valid until December 31, 2024, but up to now, SynteixAsiaPTE.LTD has not obtained the medical device registration certificate of related products in China, so the contract has not been formally implemented.

  4. R&D mode

  The company’s R&D work is managed in strict accordance with the review principles of quality standards such as ISO13485 and ISO9001/GB/T19001. The specific process is as follows:

  (3) the industry situation

  1. The development stage, basic characteristics and main technical threshold of the industry.

  A. Industry development stage

  Orthopedic implant medical devices is one of the important subdivisions of medical devices. Orthopedic implanted medical devices refer to the devices and materials that can be implanted into the human body through surgery to replace and support human bones or repair bones, joints, cartilage and other tissues, mainly including bone joint implants and joint implants, such as bone plates, bone screws, intramedullary nails, spinal fixation implants, artificial joints, etc., which belong to high-value medical consumables. Because they are implanted into the human body for a long time, they have a great impact on human life and health, and their value is usually high. According to the report on punctuation information, it is estimated that the market size of orthopedic implantable medical devices in China will be about 60.7 billion yuan in 2024, and the compound annual growth rate from 2019 to 2024 will be about 14.51%.

  According to the different parts of use, orthopedic implanted medical devices can be divided into four categories: trauma, spine, joint and others. In China’s orthopedic implantable medical device market in 2019, the market segments of trauma, spine and joint accounted for 85.80% of the market; Among them, trauma is the largest market segment, accounting for 29.80%; Spine ranks second, accounting for 28.23%; Joints ranked third, accounting for 27.77%.

  (1) Joint implanted medical devices

  According to different parts, artificial joints can be divided into artificial hips, knees, shoulders, elbow joints and so on. Benefiting from the growing medical demand, the joint market has maintained a rapid growth. According to the punctuation information related reports, the market size of joint implanted devices in China in 2018 and 2019 is 7 billion yuan and 8.6 billion yuan respectively. It is estimated that the market size of joint implanted medical devices in China will be about 18.7 billion yuan in 2024, with an average annual compound growth rate of about 6.87% from 2019 to 2024. Due to the relatively high technical difficulty, complex production process and long service life of joint implants, the market for joint implants is mainly imported products, while domestic products account for a relatively low proportion.

  (2) Spinal implants.

  Benefiting from the increasing medical demand and the development of minimally invasive spine technology, the market scale of spinal implant medical devices in China is also growing gradually. According to the report on punctuation information, the market size of spine medical devices in China is 7.3 billion yuan and 8.7 billion yuan in 2018 and 2019 respectively. It is estimated that the market size of spine medical devices in China will be about 17.1 billion yuan in 2024, and the compound annual growth rate from 2019 to 2024 will be about 14.42%.

  (3) Implanted medical devices for trauma.

  The production technology of trauma products is mature and the market development is sufficient, which has maintained rapid growth in recent years. According to the report on punctuation information, the market size of trauma implanted devices in China was 7.7 billion yuan and 9.2 billion yuan in 2018 and 2019 respectively. It is estimated that the market size of trauma implanted medical devices in China will be about 17 billion yuan in 2024, and the compound annual growth rate from 2019 to 2024 will be about 13.15%.

  (1) International medical device giants have more advantages in the market.

  Although the overall gap between domestic medical device companies and international medical device giants is narrowing year by year, the problem of low overall level of medical device companies in China still needs to be solved. In the domestic and international markets, international medical giants still occupy the dominant position by virtue of strong technical strength, R&D ability, capital supply ability, brand influence and higher trust.

  With the acceleration of import substitution, the market share of domestic enterprises has gradually increased. However, from the perspective of the market segmentation of orthopedic implants, the degree of localization of the joint market is still low, and at present, imported enterprises still occupy a dominant position.

  (2) The industrial concentration of Class 2)III medical device enterprises has gradually increased.

  Under the leadership of international medical device giants, domestic medical device companies, on the one hand, step up their technological catch-up and constantly narrow the gap with international giants, on the other hand, accept increasingly strict government supervision, while the fierce competition among companies continues to increase, and high-quality enterprises rise, making it difficult for some small and medium-sized enterprises to continue to operate and be eliminated. Generally speaking, the industry concentration of Class III medical device enterprises with high technology content is gradually increasing, and the trend of survival of the fittest, mergers and acquisitions is obvious. According to the Statistical Annual Report on Drug Supervision in National Medical Products Administration, by the end of November 2018, there were only 1,997 enterprises that could produce three types of products, which was 25.37% lower than the 2,676 enterprises at the end of 2013. With the backward small and medium-sized enterprises being gradually eliminated or merged, the concentration of China’s medical device industry will continue to rise, and the scale of enterprises will gradually expand. While broadening the product line, they will continue to consolidate and expand their own advantages.

  (3) Domestic medical device companies are accelerating the process of import substitution.

  Due to the lack of strict and unified standards for equipment industry and the influence of municipal/hospital bidding mode, the medical equipment industry has been in a state of low concentration. Therefore, for a long time, many medical device companies developed in specific areas by relying on their special geographical location and marketing network. However, with the improvement of domestic innovation ability and technical level, the scale of domestic medical device companies continues to expand, R&D investment continues to increase, and the quality and approval number of domestic devices have improved, which provides the possibility for domestic products to occupy more market share.

  In addition, hospitals at all levels have certain pressure to control medical insurance fees, especially the basic medical insurance system for urban residents, whose fees are mostly divided by age, and the overall amount is small; In terms of reimbursement amount, the reimbursement amount for urban residents is limited. Therefore, the long-term pressure of medical insurance fee control is great, and the increase in the use of domestic devices is an inevitable trend, which also provides an opportunity for domestic companies to accelerate import substitution.

  (4) The development history is short and there are few large-scale enterprises.

  The development history of domestic medical high-value consumables industry is only more than 20 years. In the field of orthopedics, the domestic manufacturers of orthopedic medical devices have a certain production capacity, and their products can basically cover various types of orthopedic diseases, and they have made certain progress in the fields of joint reconstruction devices, trauma and fixation orthopedic medical devices, orthopedic surgical instruments and spinal fixation devices. However, most domestic manufacturers of orthopedic implant consumables are small in scale, and their core products and market dominance are limited.

  At present, there are few manufacturers of orthopedic implant consumables in China. From the perspective of enterprise scale, China’s orthopedic industry is still in a relatively primary stage. At the same time, because there is still a gap with imported products in prosthesis materials, prosthesis shape design, accuracy of surgical positioning instruments, joint surface smoothness, and treatment of contact surface with bone, the products of domestic manufacturers mainly focus on trauma and spine products, and the share of state-owned manufacturers in the joint market is relatively low.

  (5) The competition pattern is scattered, and the trend of industry integration is obvious.

  Because most of the manufacturers of high-value medical consumables and orthopedic implants in China are small in scale, the industry competition pattern is relatively scattered. In recent years, major market participants have integrated through mergers and acquisitions. For example, in 2012, Johnson & Johnson acquired Synthes, a Swiss medical plastic equipment manufacturer, and later joined DePuy subsidiary to become Johnson & Johnson DepuySynthes;; Stryker acquired China Enterprise Chuangsheng Medical in 2013; Medtronic acquired Kang Hui Medical in 2012; Xerox has successively acquired American sports medicine product manufacturer ArthroCareCorp, orthopedic robot company BueBet, and the BST-CarGe cartilage repair business of Indian pharmaceutical company PiramaHeathcare. The trend of industry integration is obvious, which provides development opportunities for enterprises with considerable scale in the industry. According to the report on punctuation information, in 2019, the top five companies in China’s orthopedic implantable medical devices market were Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, Jiemai, Stryker and Weigao Orthopedics, with market shares of 17.24%, 9.70%, 5.97%, 5.19% and 4.61% respectively, totaling 42.71%, and the industry concentration increased.

  (6) The demand for high-end products is still expanding.

  With the increase of national disposable income, the increase of the proportion of the elderly population, the change of medical concept and the expansion of medical insurance coverage, the demand for high-end orthopedic medical devices in China will maintain a high growth rate.

  After years of market cultivation, patients’ acceptance of orthopedic implants has been continuously improved. In the future, investment and mergers and acquisitions in the field of high-end orthopedic medical devices will increase, and good market prospects and huge growth space will bring greater impetus to the development of enterprises.

  C. Main technical thresholds

  Medical devices are knowledge-intensive and technology-intensive industries with multidisciplinary integration, and because orthopedic medical devices are directly applied to the human body, the safety, effectiveness, accuracy and reliability of medical device products must be guaranteed, which means that medical device manufacturers must continuously improve their technical level through continuous research and statistical analysis of large-scale clinical data before they can develop products that guarantee quality and meet customer needs. New entrants to the industry often do not have this technical level, and the difficulty of entering the market is further increased.

  2. Analysis of the industry position of the company and its changes.

  Based on China’s huge population base and the trend of accelerating aging, China’s orthopedic market is huge and has considerable growth potential. International orthopedic giants have successively entered the China market through local mergers and acquisitions or investment in factories. The period of investment and factory building is longer than that of mergers and acquisitions. Most international orthopedic giants choose mergers and acquisitions to open the China market.

  In recent years, with the support of national policies and the opportunity of domestic market expansion, domestic orthopedic medical science and technology companies have gradually developed and expanded. The main domestic listed companies in the same industry mainly include Aikang Medical, (), Weigao Orthopaedics, () and Sanyou Medical.

  The company’s main products are joint implant consumables. Because the artificial joint prosthesis needs to form a permanent combination with human bone tissue and replace the original function of human body, the raw materials of artificial joint must have better compatibility with bone and advanced bone interface fixation technology, which has higher manufacturing threshold and technical difficulty. Therefore, artificial joint is an orthopedic subdivision field with high technology content, high added value and high entry threshold. Due to the limitation of domestic raw materials and technology, imported enterprises still occupy the absolute dominant position in the whole market segment.

  According to the report on punctuation information, in 2017, 2018 and 2019, the market share of foreign-funded enterprises in the joint implant device market in China was 67.88%, 66.71% and 65.06% respectively. The market share of local enterprises is 32.12%, 33.29% and 34.94% respectively, and the proportion is increasing year by year. Among them, Chunli Medical occupied 8.96% of the market share of joint implanted medical devices in China in 2019, ranking second among all local enterprises and fourth among all joint prosthesis enterprises (including foreign enterprises) in China.

  3. The development of new technologies, (), new formats and new models during the reporting period and the future development trend.

  3D printing technology: The company has introduced a variety of 3D printing equipment with different process types, and the "research and development project of customized and personalized prosthesis series products" is also in progress.

  The company’s 3D printing equipment mainly includes EBM (Electron Beam Melting) equipment, MJF (Multi-jet Melting) equipment, and powder metal 3D printing equipment. Among them, electron beam molten metal 3D printer can melt titanium alloy powder layer by layer by using electron beam in vacuum to generate dense parts, which can realize printing of porous materials. Chunli Medical has mastered the technology of using electron beam technology to produce bone trabecula and other products. Multi-jet melting 3D printer ensures the fineness of the edge of the printed object by spraying solvent and fine agent to the laid powder, and then carries out thermal radiation heating again, so that the powder is bonded according to the model interface and stacked layer by layer.

  Chunli Medical has mastered the technology of using multi-jet melting 3D printer to produce guide plate, prosthesis die test and other instrument parts. In addition, Chunli Medical can use the powder-feeding metal 3D printer to coat the surface of the medical implant produced by the traditional technology with the metal powder of medical institutions. The metal powder is uniformly melted by laser irradiation, and then cooled into a solid to be combined with the metal surface, so as to realize the porous structure on the surface of the implant and promote bone growth. In recent years,

  Chunli Medical is developing a product called Advanced Customization and Individualized Joint Prosthesis based on advanced technologies such as China National Bone Database and 3D Reconstruction. Compared with the existing customized joint prosthesis products, Chunli Medical can more effectively analyze and meet the specific needs of patients. In addition, in August, 2020, Chunli Medical was hired as the drafting unit of the Group Standardization Technical Committee of the 3D Printing Medical Device Professional Committee of China Medical Device Industry Association, and participated in the formulation of the group standards of 3D Printing Tantalum Metal Hip Prosthesis, 3D Printing Tantalum Metal Knee Prosthesis, 3D Printing Tantalum Metal Personalized Bone Defect Filler and 3D Printing Tantalum Metal Spinal Prosthesis, and was rated as the "Advanced Drafting Unit of the Group Standard of 3D Printing Medical Devices" by the professional committee.

  New material technology: the company has carried out research and development on porous tantalum materials and magnesium materials. Compared with other prosthetic materials, porous tantalum has a unique bone-like structure, high porosity is conducive to bone growth, highly interconnected honeycomb structure provides extensive bone growth, high friction coefficient provides good initial stability of the implant, and its physical and mechanical properties are close to that of bone, so it is an ideal bone substitute material. The project "Development and Clinical Application of Porous Tantalum Bone Repair Materials and Implantable Products" declared by the company was approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology as the key project of the National Key R&D Plan "Research and Development of Biomedical Materials and Repair and Replacement of Tissues and Organs" in 2020. In the "Tantalum Technology Series Product R&D Project", the company plans to prepare porous tantalum by CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) and produce customized porous tantalum personalized bone defect filler. At present, it has obtained the acceptance notice of medical device registration application issued by National Medical Products Administration; In the "research and development project of dental series products", the company plans to design customized and individualized dental implant products with porous tantalum and complete the production conversion, which is currently in the design and inspection stage.

  Biomedical magnesium alloy, as a representative of a new generation of biodegradable biomedical materials, has received extensive attention in recent years. At present, the listed products are mainly concentrated in foreign countries, and the indications are narrow. Compared with other medical metal materials, magnesium alloy has obvious advantages, such as good biodegradability, biological safety and biomechanical compatibility. The mechanical properties are similar to those of bone tissue, which can be degraded after being implanted in the body, avoiding the second operation to take out instruments, which is beneficial to revision surgery and reducing the economic burden and mental stress of patients. At present, the company’s "research and development of new biomedical materials series products" project is in the design stage.

  To sum up, the company has made great efforts to research and develop related emerging technologies as innovative application directions, and the research and development work is progressing in an orderly manner.

  (IV) Core technologies and R&D progress

  1. Core technologies and their advanced features and changes during the reporting period.

  The company has been focusing on the research and development, production and sales of implantable orthopedic medical devices. After years of research and development, the company has mastered a number of core technologies, including general upgrade technology and unique technology. Among them, universal upgrade technology is a technology based on universal technology or necessary technology, combined with Chinese bone characteristics, clinical needs and feedback, to optimize and upgrade product performance or technology; Unique technology is the core technology realized by the company based on R&D experience and future R&D planning through continuous research and development by relevant personnel. The core technologies mastered by the company include hip joint core technology, knee joint core technology, shoulder and elbow joint core technology, joint bone defect technology and spine core technology.

  The details of the company’s main core technologies are as follows:

  (1) Core technology of hip joint

  The core technologies of hip joint mainly include low-friction joint interface technology, personalized biological femur technology, press-fit biological acetabulum technology and hip joint revision prosthesis filling technology.

  Advanced technology of low-friction joint interface: ① Low-friction joint interface technology refers to the technology of improving the reliability and stability of ceramic parts and reducing the risk of broken ceramic parts by optimizing the processing technology of mortar cups and lining used with ceramics, thus prolonging the service life of artificial joints. ② During hip replacement, the straightness and roundness of products used with ceramic components should be strictly controlled, so as to avoid the uneven installation stress of ceramic components during clinical use and assembly, which will lead to the fragmentation of ceramic components. ③ At present, the machining tolerance of acetabular cup and polyethylene liner of most manufacturers in the market is difficult to meet the precision requirements of ceramic assembly. The machining accuracy of the straightness and roundness of the locking structure of ceramic liner and acetabular cup of our company is controlled at 0.007mm, and the machining error in the product processing process is controlled through special tooling and fixtures to ensure stability and consistency, prevent the ceramic components from being broken due to installation deformation during use, and at the same time, the more reliable locking mechanism enhances the anti-dropping ability of the prosthesis. ④ As far as ceramic materials are concerned, foreign giants and major domestic enterprises all adopt CeramTecGmbH bioceramic materials; As far as processing technology is concerned, the company is reliable in straightness and roundness, and there is no obvious gap between the company and the highest level in the industry.

  Advance of personalized bio-femoral technology: ① Personalized bio-femoral technology refers to the technology of optimizing the neck length, eccentricity, proximal and distal dimensions of femoral prosthesis based on the basic data of Chinese physiology and anatomy, and cooperating with the tools corresponding to the press-fit relationship to obtain better medullary cavity matching, stability and anti-rotation performance. ② Based on the basic data of the bones around the hip joint in China collected in the "Chinese Bone Mapping Project", combined with this technology, a personalized biological femoral prosthesis suitable for the physiological anatomical structure of Chinese people is designed, which includes two neck shaft angles of 127 and 133, and each neck shaft angle is divided into two eccentric distances, with an interval of 0.5mm as a specification; There are 4 models and 100 specifications, and the size interval between adjacent specifications is small, which is highly matched with the patient’s medullary cavity. At the same time, the prosthesis has medial and lateral grooves designed based on the different load properties between the proximal bone and the prosthesis, which effectively improves the initial stability and anti-rotation performance of the prosthesis. The optimized lateral shoulder design of this kind of prosthesis can also be applied to minimally invasive surgery.

The outer surface of the acetabular cup is composed of a spherical cap, a hollow spherical table in the middle and a hollow spherical table at the bottom in turn, and its total height is lower than the bottom radius of the hollow spherical table at the bottom. When the prosthesis is installed, this design makes the "equator" position of the cup bear force, optimizes the transmission mode of force, and increases the initial and long-term stability of the prosthesis. The connection mode between the inner liner and the outer cup is taper press-fitting and slot locking, and the plum blossom anti-rotation design increases the connection reliability between the parts and enhances the stability between the two parts. And the service life and wear resistance of the prosthesis are improved. This technology can realize the universal matching between mortar cup and ceramic or polyethylene lining, which is convenient for clinical use.

  Advanced filling technology of hip revision prosthesis: ① The filling technology of hip revision prosthesis refers to the technology of optimizing the filling design of acetabulum defect, making the shape and internal structure of the filler more suitable for the growth of cancellous bone and improving the compatibility between the filler and acetabulum. ② The prosthetic fillers for hip joint revision designed by this technology include crescent, L, round and other forms. The overall mesh structure design of the prosthesis forms a honeycomb structure with internal interconnection, and the pore size of its porous structure can reach 500 200 μ m; The diameter of porous structure of trabecular bone can reach 500 200 μ m; The porosity of trabecular bone porous structure is 50~80%, which can make cancellous bone grow into prosthesis quickly and firmly, and the elastic modulus of prosthesis is close to the physiological bone level of human body. After the implant of prosthesis filler using this technology, it conforms to the physiological stress distribution, reduces stress shielding to a greater extent and promotes bone growth; Moreover, the filler can be compatible with the total hip socket and used in combination, which is suitable for cases with acetabular defects of different degrees and meets the clinical needs of patients. (3) Influenced by technological conditions, the related parameters of acetabular reinforcement, such as aperture, wire diameter and porosity, affect the bone ingrowth effect. Compared with similar products in the current market, the company’s hip joint revision prosthesis filler meets the requirements of relevant national and industry standards, and its porous characteristics can better meet the conditions of bone growth, and its specifications and models are richer, which is conducive to meeting the needs of patients with different degrees of illness.

CR deep disc table pad is designed with 0 back inclination angle and raised back lip of pad, which is suitable for patients with functional problems of posterior cruciate ligament and bilateral collateral ligaments.

  (3) Core technology of shoulder and elbow joint

  The core technology of shoulder and elbow joint mainly includes proximal humeral prosthesis design technology and distal humeral prosthesis design technology.

  Advanced design technology of proximal humeral prosthesis: ① Anatomical humeral stem technology refers to the technology of improving the anti-rotation performance of prosthesis and prolonging the life of prosthesis by optimizing the shape of humeral stem of shoulder joint, the structural design and combination of osteotomy surface. ② During shoulder joint replacement, the fretting and rotation of the humeral stem can easily lead to osteolysis and the sinking of the humeral stem, which will affect the service life of the prosthesis. Combined with this technology, the design of the proximal ellipse of the shoulder joint prosthesis can effectively prevent the fretting caused by prosthesis implantation and avoid osteolysis. The disc design at the top of the prosthesis will cover the osteotomy surface after the prosthesis is implanted to prevent the prosthesis from sinking in the later stage; To some extent, it can prolong the service life of artificial joint, reduce the revision rate and relieve the pain of patients.

  Advanced design technology of distal humerus prosthesis: ① Anatomical distal humerus technology refers to the technology of optimizing the shape and width of the lower humerus, reducing unnecessary bone cutting and ensuring postoperative bone integrity. ② In elbow replacement, when the humerus side is treated, the two sides of the treated humerus lower end are easy to break, which affects the stability of the prosthesis. The elbow humerus handle designed by combining this technology can effectively ensure the stability of the prosthesis after installation, and at the same time, reducing the width can adapt to more patients and improve the application range of the prosthesis.

  Advance of anterior cervical fixation technology: ① Anterior cervical fixation technology refers to the technology of reducing the notch of anterior cervical bone plate by optimizing the structure of bone plate and locking ring, and reducing the swallowing difficulty of patients due to too high notch. ② The products designed with this technology mainly include bone plates and screws. Screw holes are formed in the bone plates, and screws can be implanted into the screw holes in the bone plates to connect the bone plates with vertebral bodies. Locking rings are embedded in the screw holes in the bone plates. After the screws are implanted into the screw holes in the bone plates, the locking rings contact with the nut positions of the screws and expand to lock the screws in the screw holes in the bone plates. The original locking nail is changed into the current screw self-locking structure, which reduces the risk of screw falling off, and adds positioning holes on the bone plate to prevent the bone plate from shifting when implanted.

  During the reporting period, none of the above core technologies has changed.

  3. R&D investment table

  Reasons for significant changes in total R&D investment compared with the previous year

  Mainly because the company attaches importance to the research and development of new products, new technologies and new processes, and continues to increase the demonstration of R&D projects, the investment in R&D personnel salaries and other related expenses has increased; Based on the national joint collection situation, the company has increased the research and development of new pipelines such as joint surgery robot, sports medicine, PRP and oral cavity.

  4. Research projects

  5. R&D personnel

  6. Other explanations

  

  Iii. Analysis of core competitiveness during the reporting period

  (A) analysis of core competitiveness

  During the reporting period, the company’s core competitiveness has not changed significantly.

  1. Technical barriers to product design

  ① Implants with appropriate size, shape and design can significantly increase the success rate of orthopedic surgery, among which the main performance of joint products is to require its wear resistance and stability of bone interface, so as to prolong the service life of products. Among them, the improvement of wear performance is realized by the selection of friction materials and the design of joint construction, and the stability of bone interface is realized by surface treatment technology and the design of handle, cup and other parts. ② As one of the earliest enterprises in China to develop and produce advanced joint prosthesis products, based on clinical needs and doctors’ suggestions, the company has continuously improved its technical level through continuous research and statistical analysis of large-scale clinical data, and mastered mature experience in product design and development, from product market research, project establishment, drawing design and parametric programming, to product finite element analysis, mechanical test, biological or zoological verification, clinical trial, product functional test, and then to registration application and trial production.

  2. Technical barriers to product processing

  ① The production and processing of orthopedic implanted medical devices involves many processes, such as blank forming, machining, surface treatment, laser marking, cleaning, sterilization and so on, which requires high quality and safety of products. ② The company has a relatively mature and perfect processing flow, with traditional materials-reducing processing equipment such as turning, milling, planing, grinding and drilling, and materials-increasing processing equipment such as metal printers and resin printers, so as to ensure that the processed products are qualified in all aspects and accurately control every link in the production process. ③ The company has mastered some new processing technologies. The mesh structure of 3D printing products can realize rapid and firm bone growth. The company has advanced 3D printing equipment and mastered more mature printing technology, which can print biological prostheses with excellent performance. In addition, the company has initially mastered the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, which can realize the production of some porous tantalum metal products.

  3. Technical barriers to research and development of new materials

  ① Biomedical degradable magnesium and magnesium alloy products: Biomedical magnesium alloy, as a representative of a new generation of biodegradable biomedical materials, has received extensive attention in recent years. At present, the company’s research based on magnesium alloy is being carried out in an orderly manner. ② Porous tantalum: Compared with other prosthetic materials, porous tantalum metal products have a unique structure similar to bone, high porosity contributes to bone growth, highly interconnected honeycomb structure provides extensive bone growth, high friction coefficient provides good initial stability of implants, and its physical and mechanical properties are close to those of bones, so it is an ideal bone substitute material; At present, the company’s research based on porous tantalum is being carried out in an orderly manner. The project "Development and Clinical Application of Porous Tantalum Bone Repair Materials and Implantable Products" led by the company was approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology as the key project of the national key R&D plan "Biomedical Materials R&D and Tissue Organ Repair and Replacement" in 2020.

  (II) Events that have seriously affected the core competitiveness of the company during the reporting period, impact analysis and countermeasures.

  

  Fourth, risk factors

  (A) Not yet profitable risk

  (2) Risk of sharp decline in performance or loss

  (C) core competitiveness risks

  Orthopedic implanted medical devices stay in the human body for a long time, which requires high safety and needs to conform to the human bone structure. On the one hand, the ideal orthopedic implant material needs to have good biological properties such as biocompatibility, bioactivity and corrosion resistance, on the other hand, it needs to have good mechanical properties such as fatigue strength, mechanical stability, friction and wear performance. In recent years, new materials such as PEEK, degradable magnesium alloy and bioceramics have also appeared in clinical applications. The company has made corresponding layout for the research and development of new materials such as porous tantalum, magnesium alloy and PEEK, but there is still a certain gap compared with foreign giants. In the process of R&D, on the one hand, the company may face risks such as deviation in its own R&D direction, lagging R&D progress, and unsatisfactory R&D results, which may lead to an increase in R&D costs and time investment or even the suspension or failure of R&D projects; On the other hand, if the company’s R&D fails to achieve the expected material results and turn them into products, or the new materials cannot be effectively industrialized due to factors such as production technology and production cost, or the new materials cannot be successfully recognized by customers and markets, the company’s early R&D investment may not bring the company income or enhance its competitive advantage as expected, thus adversely affecting the company’s ability to continue to operate.

  (4) Operational risks

  (A) the risk of changes in sales model

  The sales modes of the company’s main products include traditional distribution mode, two-vote distribution mode, distributor mode and direct sales mode. During the reporting period, the company’s sales model was mainly traditional distribution model. With the continuous expansion of the promotion scope of policies such as "two-vote system" and "purchasing with quantity", the revenue proportion of the company’s traditional distribution model will decrease year by year in the future. If the company can’t adapt to the changes of sales model in time and enhance the transformation ability of sales model, it will face the risk of blocked sales channels and customer loss.

  (B) Market competition intensifies risks

  The company’s main products are implantable orthopedic medical devices, and its end customers are medical institutions. For a long time, most of the domestic market share has been occupied by international brands such as Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic and Stryker. In recent years, with the technical progress and policy support, the trend of localization substitution is obvious.

  However, the market share of domestic brands is still small, and domestic brands are facing fierce competition. The company must improve its product innovation and R&D strength according to market changes and industry development trends, so as to maintain its competitive advantage and develop steadily in the rapidly changing market environment. If the company fails to accurately grasp the development trend of the industry or correctly respond to the sudden changes in market competition in the future, it will face the risk of declining market share and product prices brought about by intensified market competition.

  (C) the risk of declining market demand for implantable orthopedic medical devices

  In recent years, with the acceleration of social aging in China, the number of patients with orthopedic diseases has accelerated, and the market scale of implantable orthopedic medical devices has also increased. In this context, during the reporting period, the company’s sales model increased year by year and maintained a high growth rate. If the disease spectrum or treatment methods change in the future, the clinical demand for implantable orthopedic devices will decrease or the medical insurance budget will decrease, which will lead to the decline of the market model of the company’s main products, which may adversely affect the company’s operation.

  (D) Risk of income growth decline or fluctuation

  From 2018 to 2021, the company’s operating income increased rapidly year by year, maintaining a good upward trend. Affected by the epidemic in 2020-2021, the growth rate of the company’s operating income declined. In the future, the company may fail to effectively expand sales channels, increase market share or promote R&D projects due to changes in macroeconomic environment, repeated epidemics, intensified product market competition and poor internal management of the company. The above situation may lead to a decline in the growth rate of the company’s operating income or a certain degree of fluctuation.

  In September, 2021, the state organized the Joint Procurement Office of High-value Medical Consumables to publicize the results of this national procurement with quantity, and the terminal prices of the products to be selected by Chunli Medical and other selected manufacturers all dropped significantly. It is expected that the price reduction pressure will be further transmitted to the distribution price after the implementation of the procurement with quantity in the future. If the increase in the company’s sales volume cannot make up for the decline in the distribution price, the company may experience a decline in revenue and profits.

  (E) Risk of supplier dependence

  From 2018 to 2021, the company’s largest supplier accounted for a relatively high proportion of the total procurement in the current period. The specific products purchased by the company from CeramTecGmbH are ceramic ball heads, ceramic linings, etc. During the reporting period, the company increased the promotion of high-end products such as ceramic joint prostheses. In view of the high stability requirements of ceramic joint prostheses, the company chose CeramTecGmbH as the qualified supplier of ceramic parts of the company, and did not purchase similar products from other suppliers, so there was some supplier dependence. If we can’t reach an agreement with CeramTecGmbH on commercial terms in the future, or because of natural disasters, international trade disputes and other force majeure factors, CeramTecGmbH can no longer provide ceramic ball heads and ceramic linings to the company, which will adversely affect the company’s production and operation.

  (VI) Lease risks of production and business premises

  During the reporting period, part of the real estate used by the company for production and operation was acquired through leasing. If the lease cannot be renewed normally upon expiration, the rent is greatly increased during the lease renewal, or the lessor breaches the contract during the lease process, it may have a certain adverse impact on the normal production or operating costs of the company.

  (seven) the risk of core materials relying on a single overseas supplier.

  During the reporting period, the ceramic ball heads and ceramic linings used in the company’s ceramic joint prosthesis products were purchased from CeramTecGmbH. CeramTecGmbH is an advanced supplier of ceramic materials headquartered in Germany. Mainstream joint manufacturers at home and abroad, including Johnson & Johnson, Xerox, Stryker, Jiemai Bangmei, Aikang Medical, Chunli Medical and Weigao Orthopaedics, all purchase ceramic materials from the company. Due to international political and other force majeure factors, the supply of imported raw materials may be delayed, limited or the price may be raised. If the company can’t get enough raw material supply in time, the normal production and operation of the company may be adversely affected. At the same time, affected by international trade disputes, there is a risk that the purchase price will increase due to the increase of tariffs.

  (VIII) external processing Risk

  During the reporting period, the company’s spraying, basic machining, sterilization, surface treatment and other processes were mainly produced by outsourcing. If the company fails to effectively implement the outsourcing management measures, it may bring certain risks to product quality and delivery time; At the same time, if the outsourcing manufacturers fail to provide products with good quality and quantity according to the agreement, or violate the agreement, the company’s technical and commercial secrets will be leaked, which will have an adverse impact on the company’s production and operation.

  (9) Risks not included in the procurement catalogue with quantity

  In May 2019, the eighth meeting of the Central Committee for Deep Reform deliberated and adopted the Reform Plan for Managing High-value Medical Consumables. In July of the same year, the General Office of the State Council issued the Reform Plan for Managing High-value Medical Consumables, proposing: "For high-value medical consumables with large clinical consumption, high purchase amount, mature clinical use and produced by many enterprises, we should explore centralized procurement according to categories, encourage medical institutions to jointly carry out quantity negotiation procurement, and actively explore cross-provincial alliance procurement. Many provinces across the country have successively carried out pilot procurement of high-value consumables. On November 20th, 2020, the National Medical Insurance Bureau’s Medical Price and Bidding Guidance Center issued the Notice on Developing the Fast Data Collection and Price Monitoring of the Second Batch of Centralized Procurement of High-value Medical Consumables. The products involved in the second batch of centralized procurement include the following categories: artificial hip joint, artificial knee joint, defibrillator, occluder, orthopedic materials and stapler.

  On April 1st, 2021, the Office of Joint Procurement of High-value Medical Consumables organized by the State issued the Notice on Information Collection of Some Orthopedic High-value Medical Consumables. On the basis of collecting the purchasing data of medical institutions in the early stage, in order to further understand the market situation of orthopedic high-value medical consumables, it is planned to carry out the information collection of orthopedic high-value medical consumables in batches. The first batch of high-value medical consumables such as artificial hip joint and artificial knee joint were collected.

  On June 21st, 2021, the Office of Joint Procurement of High-value Consumables organized by the State issued the Announcement of National Centralized Procurement of Artificial Joints (No.1), and on August 23rd, 2021, it officially issued the Procurement Document of National Centralized Procurement of Artificial Joints, giving a comprehensive explanation on the product categories, procurement rules and bidding rules of this centralized procurement. The company won the bid for group A of ceramic-ceramic hip joint product system, group B of ceramic-polyethylene hip joint product system and alloy-polyethylene hip joint product system, but failed to win the bid for initial total knee replacement. The company’s inventory is relatively high, and it failed to replace the artificial total knee joint product system for the first time in the national procurement bidding with quantity. If the company can’t take corresponding remedial measures, the market demand will drop rapidly, and the company’s related products will face the risk of unsalable sales that are not included in the procurement catalogue with quantity.

  (ten) the spine business scale is small, and the risk of losing the bid in the procurement with quantity.

  At present, many provinces in China have implemented the purchasing policy of joint products, and Anhui Province has also introduced the purchasing of spine products. In the future, more provinces may introduce the purchasing of spine products. The overall scale of the company’s spine business is small, which has a certain impact on the company’s spine products to participate in the procurement with quantity, and there are certain disadvantages in the bidding competition, so investors should pay attention to the related risks.

  (eleven) the uncertainty risk in the process of import substitution.

  Although the overall gap between domestic orthopedic implantable medical device companies and international orthopedic implantable medical device giants is narrowing year by year, in the domestic and international markets, international giants still occupy the dominant position with strong technical strength, research and development capabilities, capital supply capabilities, brand influence and higher trust. With the gradual advancement of import substitution trend, both sides are also in a state of coexistence of competition and cooperation. In the process of import substitution, there is a certain gap between the company and international giants in terms of business scale, product technology, production capacity and brand building, and they will face certain challenges. In the future, the company will have certain uncertain risks in the process of import substitution.

  (V) Financial risks

  (A) the risk of a large balance of accounts receivable

  From 2018 to 2021, the company’s accounts receivable balance continued to grow. If major adverse changes occur in the operating conditions of major customers and industry settlement methods, it may lead to overdue accounts receivable, bad debts or further extension of the accounts receivable recovery cycle, thus adversely affecting the company’s sustainable profitability.

  (VI) Industry risks

  The company is mainly engaged in the research and development, production and sales of implantable orthopedic medical devices, and its medical device industry must be fully supervised and managed by the National Development and Reform Commission, National Health Commission, National Medical Products Administration and other competent departments. Domestic enterprises engaged in research and development, manufacturing, management and use of medical devices should follow the regulations of medical device product classification management system, medical device product registration system, medical device production enterprise filing or licensing system, medical device management enterprise filing or licensing system, medical device management quality management standard, etc. The export sales of medical device products are also affected by the relevant policies of importing countries.

  In recent years, policy changes at home and abroad have also caused multiple policy risks to the company, including:

  (A) "quantity procurement" brought about by the risk of product terminal price decline

  In July 2019, the General Office of the State Council issued the Notice on Printing and Distributing the Reform Plan for the Management of High-value Medical Consumables, exploring "procurement with quantity" in the field of high-value medical consumables. Up to now, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fujian, Shandong and other provinces have issued and implemented the policy plan of "procurement with quantity" and implemented the bidding procedures involving joint products. Except for the company’s failure to win the bid for the "quantity procurement" of hip joints in Jiangsu Province in 2019, the "quantity procurement" of other provinces and related joint products won the bid. According to the current situation of winning the bid, the winning bid price of related products has mostly decreased to a certain extent compared with the price before "purchasing with quantity", which further led to a certain degree of decline in the ex-factory price of the company in some provinces.

  In June, 2021, the National Joint Procurement Office of High-value Consumables issued the Announcement of National Centralized Procurement of Artificial Joints, Announcement of National Centralized Procurement of Artificial Joints (No.1), and in August, 2021, it officially issued the Procurement Document of National Centralized Procurement of Artificial Joints, and carried out the bidding work of national procurement of initial total hip replacement and initial total knee replacement. September 2021

  In June, the state organized the Joint Procurement Office of High-value Medical Consumables to publicize the results of this national procurement with quantity. According to the public information, the average price of the hip joint terminal to be selected dropped by 80%, and the average price of the knee joint terminal dropped by 84%. The company successfully won the bid for "Ceramic-Ceramic Hip Joint Product System", "Ceramic-Polyethylene Hip Joint Product System" and "Alloy-Polyethylene Hip Joint Product System" at a relatively high price, but the price was significantly lower than that before the "quantity purchase". The company’s "knee joint product system" failed to win the bid because of its high quotation. The decline in the price of hip joint terminal and the failure to win the bid for knee joint will be transmitted to dealers and companies, and the subsequent distribution price of the company will also be reduced. If the increase in sales volume cannot make up for the decline in distribution price, the company may experience a decline in revenue and profit. In addition, if the company’s distribution price is too high, squeezing the dealer’s profit will affect the dealer’s willingness to cooperate, or returning the goods due to the termination of the dealer’s business with the company and negotiation, it may have a certain impact on the company’s profitability.

  (B) The risk of knee joint products failing to win the bid for national procurement with quantity.

  On September 14th, 2021, the State organized the Joint Procurement Office of High-value Medical Consumables to publicize the selected results of the national procurement of artificial joints, and the company failed to win the bid in the "knee joint product system". In 2021, Beijing Bestar Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Bestar") obtained the "Record Certificate for Entrusted Production of Medical Devices" issued by Beijing Drug Administration, allowing our company to produce Bestar’s knee prosthesis as the trustee. Bethesda’s knee joint prosthesis won the bid in this collective procurement, and our company obtained the power of attorney from Bethesda (No.:BSD21-09- China -01-265), which authorized our company to sell its knee joint products in People’s Republic of China (PRC). Through the cooperation with Bestar, our company reduced the decline in profitability caused by the failure of our knee joint products to win the bid.

  (C) Risk of changes in domestic and foreign industrial policies

  The company is a medical device manufacturer, and its domestic sales revenue is the main source of its main business income. The domestic business development is strictly supervised by National Medical Products Administration and other competent departments. In 2018, the National Health and Family Planning Commission and other six ministries and commissions jointly issued the Notice on Consolidating and Breaking the Achievements of Supplementing Medicine with Medicine and Deepening the Comprehensive Reform of Public Hospitals, further clarifying the implementation of the "two-vote system" for the purchase and sale of high-value medical consumables. With the change of the sales model brought about by the two-vote system, the company is faced with changes in operating conditions such as longer receivable payment cycle and increased sales expenses corresponding to unit sales revenue. If the company fails to formulate effective countermeasures in time according to the changes in the "two-vote system" policy, it may have an impact on the sales and operation of its products.

  In addition, policies such as medical insurance reimbursement and centralized procurement have been introduced in China, and policies such as DRGs and "one-vote system" have been actively explored. In 2021, eight ministries and commissions, including the National Medical Insurance Bureau and the National Health and Wellness Commission, jointly formulated the "Pilot Program for Deepening the Reform of Medical Service Price", with the goal of exploring and forming replicable and scalable medical service price reform experience through three to five years of pilot. In addition, the company is also actively exploring foreign markets, and the development of overseas business is strictly supervised by the competent authorities of relevant countries and regions. For example, the new version of the medical device regulation MDR passed by the European Union in March 2017, at this stage, some matters in the new MDR regulations have not yet been clearly defined, and there are certain risks of policy uncertainty.

  In the future, the importance attached to the medical device industry at home and abroad will be further enhanced, and relevant regulations and policies will be issued in the aspects of industry standards, bidding, centralized procurement and circulation system. If the company can’t keep up with the development of industrial policies, study the requirements of new policies in advance, do a good job in coping with the New Deal, and continue to carry out technological innovation and product upgrading, the company may face the risk of falling product market prices, which in turn will lead to a decline in gross profit margin, which will adversely affect the company’s future profitability. The company will pay close attention to the trend of centralized purchasing policy, continuously strengthen production and management, enhance the company’s product innovation ability and comprehensive strength, strengthen market promotion, consolidate existing markets, develop new markets, and strive to increase market share.

  (VII) Macro-environmental risks

  In the future, the company may fail to effectively expand sales channels, increase market share or promote R&D projects due to changes in macroeconomic environment, repeated epidemics and intensified competition in the product market. The above situation may lead to a decline in the growth rate of the company’s operating income or a certain degree of fluctuation.

  (8) Risks related to depositary receipts

  (9) Other major risks.

  

  V. Main operations during the reporting period

  The year 2021 is the year when China has built a well-off society in an all-round way, and it is also the first year of the 14 th Five-Year Plan. Standing at the historical intersection of the goal of "two hundred years", facing the global COVID-19 epidemic and the national joint "purchasing with quantity" environment, under the strong leadership of the board of directors, all employees of the company actively responded to the risks and challenges in operation, forged ahead, continued to reform, accelerated the research and development progress of new materials, new processes and new products, and actively expanded new pipelines to adapt to the new normal of epidemic and centralized procurement.

  By December 31, 2021, the company achieved an operating income of 1,108,139,500 yuan in 2021, an increase of 18.18% year-on-year; The net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies and the net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies after deducting non-recurring gains and losses were 322,360,700 yuan and 307,693,000 yuan respectively, with year-on-year increases of 13.76% and 11.22% respectively.

  The company’s main operating conditions are normal and its operating performance is stable. There have been no major changes in the company’s business model, the purchase scale and price of major raw materials, the production and sales scale and price of major products, the composition of major customers and suppliers, tax policies, etc., and there have been no other major events that may affect investors’ judgment.

  VI. The Company’s Discussion and Analysis on the Company’s Future Development

  (A) the company’s development strategy

  Relying on the national industrial policy of encouraging domestic (or) instrument products, and relying on years of accumulated industry experience and technical advantages, the company is committed to developing and producing joint prostheses, spinal implants and other products with excellent performance, and strives to become a world-class comprehensive medical orthopedic instrument manufacturer as soon as possible.

  (3) Business plan
