Chairman Mao’s special porcelain bowl

Chairman Mao’s special porcelain bowl

　　"The modern ceramics we often mention now generally refer to the ceramics produced since the founding of New China 60 years ago. Some modern porcelains have a certain historical accumulation, especially those that can reflect the porcelain-making technology and level of New China, and also have high collection and investment value. " Mr. He Zhenggu, Secretary-General of the Ceramic Professional Committee of Jiangsu Collectors Association, was a guest in the live video studio of "Yangtze Jianbao" yesterday. He said in the lecture on modern porcelain appreciation and collection that in recent years, many investors in Nanjing have begun to target modern porcelain that was not paid attention to before but has great appreciation potential.

　　Early modern porcelain was made by famous artists.

　　He Zhenggu said that modern ceramics can be divided into three categories.

　　First of all, in the 1950s and 1960s, the ceramic industry in China was still in a state of great waste. Due to the attention and call of the state, and in order to meet the needs of domestic and foreign markets, large-scale production enterprises such as Jingdezhen, the Millennium porcelain capital, appeared one after another, and a large number of old ceramists gathered in this era. These factories and enterprises occupied strong technical talents, such as Cai Jingbiao, He Shuigen and other famous sculptors in the late Republic of China, which made the ceramic works of this period reach the founding of New China.

　　The stock of "Red Official Kiln Porcelain" in the Cultural Revolution was small.

　　Secondly, in modern ceramics, the ceramics during the Cultural Revolution are divided into one category, that is, the ceramics during the Cultural Revolution, which is now the new favorite of collectors. This historical period is very special. Most of the porcelains produced are porcelain statues and badges. In addition, there are a large number of daily necessities, such as porcelain plates, bowls, cups, pots, vases, pen holders, etc. The patterns are mostly quotations from Mao Zedong, poems, patterns of workers, peasants and soldiers, and heroic figures. Among them, the special porcelain for Chairman Mao, which was developed and produced in the late Cultural Revolution, is more valuable for collection. It is also known as "Red Official Kiln Porcelain" because of its extremely high level of craftsmanship and rare survival. This batch of porcelain is highly respected in the domestic and foreign markets.

　　He Zhenggu pointed to the "Lotus-to-Flower Bowl" in his hand and said that the technological feature of the Cultural Revolution porcelain is that the patterns are neat, and every two flowers are very symmetrical together, without any deviation, which has high requirements for painters, which is beyond the reach of the general artistic level. In addition, the porcelain tire is translucent, which is equivalent to the quality of jade. This kind of porcelain is a kind of ornamental device called "Chairman Porcelain", which is the representative of the highest level of ceramics since the founding of New China. In addition, the image of ancient girls, big collar, high bun and flower arrangement on her head also showed the obvious characteristics of porcelain during the Cultural Revolution.

　　Famous artists combine oil painting style into porcelain.

　　The third kind of modern porcelain is called contemporary artists’ porcelain. He Zhenggu said that contemporary masters pay more attention to the quality and artistic level of tires, glazes, patterns and shapes of their works, and at the same time pay more attention to the development of individuality. For example, Li Jusheng, a professor at Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute and a master of arts and crafts in China, made repeated experiments on high-temperature colored glaze for many years when developing his personal works, and used his own understanding of China’s history and culture to organically combine ancient poetry, ancient painting style and oil painting style.

　　The collection value of modern porcelain has reached hundreds of thousands.

　　"The collection value of modern porcelain has reached tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands." He Zhenggu said that in the 1950s and 1960s, the ceramic works of state-owned factories generally did not leave personal names, and only the authors or their families could be identified according to the painting style of porcelain. Therefore, porcelain-like works have a certain historical value since they were fifty or sixty years ago, and their economic value is related to their specifications, shapes, authors, artistic attainments and other factors. At present, the market of the works of old ceramists in the late Republic of China and the early liberation period is excellent, especially the works of Wang Xiliang, Zhang Songmao and other old ceramists, with the market price ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

　　There are four ways to identify "porcelain"

　　Regarding the identification method, He Zhenggu said, first of all, the three categories of modern porcelain are different in many ways. At the beginning, the porcelain works in state-owned factories did not leave personal names. Only by finding the author or identifying his family according to the style of porcelain painting, its economic value was related to its size, shape, author, artistic attainments and other factors.

　　In addition, the value of "Mao porcelain" is the highest among the cultural revolution porcelain. For example, in 1997, a small bowl of Chairman Mao’s special porcelain was photographed to 1.7 million in China, setting the highest market for single-piece "Mao porcelain". He Zhenggu especially reminded that if Tibetan friends want to collect "Mao porcelain" now, they should identify it from four aspects: shape, glaze, ornamentation and embryo quality, and master the characteristics and specifications of various objects. The genuine glaze in this period is white and transparent, and the division of labor is fine. Moreover, this batch of porcelain is all made of Linchuan kaolin in Fuzhou, all made by hand, fired at high temperature, with thin embryo, translucent and striking.

　　The identification of the third kind of contemporary artists’ ceramics requires Tibetans to do their homework first, understand the market conditions, consult the auction price, ask the masters more, and also understand the master’s popularity and reputation in society.

　　"The collection of modern ceramics is expensive in’ slow fire and slow work’, which requires both peace of mind and perseverance. If you persist for many years, you will get something, and the return on investment is only a matter of time. " Mr. He Zhenggu said. Wang Fang Yao Yuxin Kong Xiaoping/Wen

Apple has always been known for its fluency, but after continuous upgrading, Apple’s old machines will also be stuck, forcing you to replace a new generation of products (in fact, they are all routines).

Although the system of 4S can only be pushed to iOS 9.3.5 at the highest, the hardware performance of 4S still can’t run iOS 9 smoothly. So, is there any simple way to make Apple’s old devices return to previous generations of systems, and what should be the fluency?

Next, I will use my idle iPhone 4S to change it from stuck to smooth in a few simple steps.

First of all, you need to prepare a computer, and a new one, of course, you need another one, and then you can make a smooth journey.

Note: This process needs to be refreshed. To prevent data loss, please back up the data in your mobile phone in advance.

After connecting the mobile phone to the computer, open the function interface of AISI Assistant-> Jailbreak by Brush->, and then select the iOS system you want to brush to download. At present, the minimum system version that can be brushed for iPhone 4S is iOS 6.1.3.

Download the lower version of the system and brush it.

After downloading the system, you can "brush the machine immediately". You can choose to keep the user information when you brush the phone, but it is not recommended to check it to avoid the failure of the brush and the loss of information. It is most reliable to back up the important information of the mobile phone in advance.

In order to ensure the normal brushing, the ID lock of the mobile phone must be removed before brushing, and the data connection between the mobile phone and the computer must be stable during the process. It is best to use the official data cable to connect.

After a while, the mobile phone became the system of iOS 6.1.3, and returned to the quasi-physical style design and smooth experience.

Smooth iOS 6 system

Before Caton’s iOS 9 system,

After refreshing the iOS 6.1.3 system, the iPhone 4S can be used as a standby smoothly. However, due to the limitation of the current APP, many softwares cannot be installed in the system below iOS 8, so this 4S standby can only be used for common functions such as making phone calls and sending text messages.

If you want iPhone 4S to install software normally, you can only sacrifice a little fluency. You can upgrade the system to iOS 8.4.1, so that you can install commonly used software. Although it reduces fluency, it is also much smoother than iOS 9.

It’s a little nostalgic to use the fluent iOS 6 system now. I wonder if you like the imitation style of iOS 6 system? Or do you prefer the flat design of iOS now?

　　On May 20, it was reported in the market that the dark side of the big model company was carrying out the latest round of financing with a valuation of $3 billion. The new investors included Tencent and Gaorong Venture Capital. This means that after investing in MiniMax, Zhipu AI and Baichuan Intelligent, Tencent once again pulled a large model unicorn company into its own camp.

　　Ali’s annotation to the big model is even more active and fierce. Since August last year, Ali has successively invested in Zhipu AI, 10,000 objects and Baichuan Intelligent. This year, he has invested heavily in the new round of financing of the Dark Side of the Moon and MiniMax, bringing together all the five big model unicorns in China.

　　For this latest round of financing, 21st century business herald reporter asked the dark side of the moon for verification, and the other party said it would not comment.

　　It is understood that before this, the dark side of the moon received early investments from institutions such as Sequoia China, Today Capital, Zhenge Fund and Lisi Capital in 2023.

　　In February of this year, the dark side of the moon received $1 billion in new financing, setting a new record for the largest single financing in the domestic AI field. After this round of financing, the valuation of the dark side of the moon has reached about $2.5 billion. Among them, $800 million comes from new shareholders and $200 million comes from old shareholders. New shareholders participating in financing include Internet companies such as Ali and Xiaohongshu, while old shareholders such as Sequoia China and Lisi Capital continue to follow suit.

　　It is also worth noting that in addition to continuous recognition at the capital level, Kimi, a product of the dark side of the moon, has also won high growth at the market level. According to the latest data of AI product list (aicpb.com), in April 2024, the number of visitors to the web version of Kimi Smart Assistant, a product of Dark Side of Moon, reached 20.04 million, surpassing ERNIE Bot and ranking first among similar products in China.

　　Kimi products have surpassed ERNIE Bot in April.

　　The Dark Side of the Moon was founded in 2023. In October of that year, the company launched Kimi AI, the world’s first intelligent assistant product supporting the input of 200,000 Chinese characters. The real explosion of this product was in March this year, and it also led the Dark Side of the Moon into the public’s field of vision.

　　On March 18th, the Dark Side of the Moon announced in WeChat official account that Kimi Intelligent Assistant had made another breakthrough in the technology of long context window, and the lossless context length was increased from 200,000 words to 2 million words. Since 9:30 am on March 20, Kimi’s system traffic has continued to increase abnormally, far exceeding the company’s previous expected plan.

　　Someone close to the dark side of the moon told 21st century business herald that Kimi’s users have really grown rapidly. Basically, the team just celebrated that the number of users of the product reached an order of magnitude, and soon the number of users reached another order of magnitude.

　　In terms of user data, the data of AI product list (aicpb.com) shows that the number of visitors to KimiChat reached 3.05 million in February, up by 107.6% from last month, ranking third in the domestic AI product visit list, second only to Baidu ERNIE Bot and ali tong Yiqianwen.

　　At present, the latest data of AI product list (aicpb.com) shows that in April 2024, the number of visitors to the web version of Kimi intelligent assistant reached 20.04 million, up 60.2% from last month, and the number of visitors has surpassed that of ERNIE Bot, ranking first among similar products in China. In addition, according to QuestMobile’s data, in March 2024, the monthly active users of Kimi Smart Assistant APP were 5.897 million, and the monthly active users of Kimi Smart Assistant WeChat applet had exceeded 911,000.

　　"Kimi’s explosion has attracted many users to start using products, which has brought about a rapid increase in visits, which may also be one of the reasons for attracting new investors. But what is the user retention after the freshness? This is the focus of everyone’s attention at this stage, and it also tests the product technical strength of the dark side of the moon. " An investor said to 21st century business herald.

　　In addition to the dark side of the moon, MiniMax, Baichuan Intelligent and Zhipu AI also reported new financing progress this year. In April, there was market news that the current valuation of MiniMax had exceeded $2.5 billion.

　　In addition, some media reported that Baichuan Intelligent will carry out a new round of financing with hundreds of millions of dollars, which will become one of the largest financing in the AI field in China in 2024. Investors from the participating companies confirmed that Baichuan Intelligent has been valued at over US$ 1.8 billion (about RMB 13 billion) this year. In response, Baichuan Intelligent responded that the latest financing information has not been officially disclosed, and the amount involved in the report is not accurate.

　　Zhipu AI has always been the darling of the capital market. In 2023, it completed 2.5 billion yuan of financing, and the participating investment institutions included the social security fund Zhongguancun Independent Innovation Fund, Meituan, Ant, Ali, Tencent, Xiaomi, Sequoia and Gaoyou.

　　At the beginning of this year, Zhipu AI received investment from Beijing Artificial Intelligence Industry Investment Fund. Wang Shaolan, president of Zhipu AI, said in an exclusive interview with 21st century business herald at the end of April that financing is a continuous process for large model companies. The company must have a new financing plan this year, but the details are not convenient to disclose for the time being.

　　Technology giants compete for big model unicorns.

　　In the era of mobile Internet, once a startup company accepts an investment from both Tencent and Ali, it will be regarded as a "queue". Looking at the investment maps of hundreds of companies in Ali and Tencent, there are only a handful of startups that can invest in both.

　　In the last wave, the two giants, Tencent and Ali, made simultaneous bets on UGC. They jointly invested in Xiaohongshu, bilibili, Zhihu, bilibili and Zhihu, and the valuation of Xiaohongshu was as high as $20 billion in the last round of financing in 2021.

　　Nowadays, in the AI ? ? big model track, the actions of the two giants are more similar. On the one hand, the big model burns money crazily and I don’t know when it will be profitable. On the other hand, it has already launched its own big model. Why did Tencent and Ali struggle to pull the big model unicorn into their own camp?

　　One of the main driving forces is the rapid development of AI big model, which makes the computing demand of cloud providers surge, and also brings huge new business growth space for computing manufacturers. According to the latest data of Synergy Research Group, in Q4 2023, Amazon, Microsoft and Google, the three major cloud computing service providers, accounted for 66% of the global market share. According to the data released by market research organization Canalys, in the fourth quarter of 2023, Alibaba Cloud, Huawei Cloud and Tencent Cloud continued to dominate the cloud service market in China.

　　It can be seen that the most active giants in big model investment are the top cloud computing providers in domestic and foreign markets. A16Z, a well-known venture capitalist in Silicon Valley, estimates that about 20%-40% of the revenue of large model application layer vendors will be used for reasoning and model fine-tuning, which is usually paid directly to cloud vendors or third-party model providers. Third-party model providers also spend about half of their revenue on cloud infrastructure, so 10%-20% of the total revenue of generative AI eventually flows to cloud providers.

　　An investor analyzed to the reporter, "For the technology giants, by investing in a large-scale model enterprise to their own cloud, they can bring real growth to the business at the moment. At this stage, instead of going to the big model where you can’t see when you can make a profit, it is better to become the infrastructure of the big model first. "
