　　Appraisal object: BiBi Zhou’s LUNAR.

　　Issue date: July 11th.

　　Text/Hu Guangxin

　　Since the end of last year, the voices of Chinese female musicians have become clearer and clearer. UGLY BEAUTY by Jolin Tsai is naturally the best among them. Besides, Ai Yiliang’s Living Vertically, and Bai An’s 1990s, all of them jump out of the shackles of petty love and open up richer expressions about women themselves. The previous female singers still write about women from their own experiences, while BiBi Zhou’s "LUNAR" is much more ambitious — — She broke away from the concept of individual direct play and explored female consciousness with body elements such as ears, figure, wrinkles and shoulder blades.

　　It is worth mentioning that the lyrics of the whole disc are arranged by Zhou Yaohui. A few years ago, in Juno Mak’s concept album Evil is a point of view, he handed over five lyrics from a female perspective, and expressed the changes of the heroine in the song with themes such as First Opening, Groaning and Rufa. LUNAR may be a continuation of this idea. Compared with his gorgeous and complicated Cantonese lyrics, the wording and sentence-making of the seven Chinese songs in LUNAR are much simpler. However, there is a clever idea in this album. He runs through the whole album with the core image of "the moon". In the western tradition, the moon represents feminine, and it has crazy mysterious power, which is a metaphor for women. Therefore, he described the subconscious in The Rebellious Muse, described the female physiological period by the tide in The Woman Flow, and divided "Fat" into "Half Moon" to discuss the relationship between figure and beauty … … Although this approach is a bit flattering, it is also true in an album with such a strong concept.

　　This album continues BiBi Zhou’s music preference in recent years, wrapping R&B rhythm with electronic sound effects, which also fits the feminine and emotional music atmosphere of LUNAR. However, in this album, which is complete from concept to presentation, BiBi Zhou’s singing is a bit dramatic. Her timbre was originally low and hard, lacking a little soft color, but when she met the extremely feminine theme of LUNAR, her singing was even more puzzled.

　　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. "

　　Pepper originated in South America, and was brought back to Europe after Columbus discovery of america in the late 15th century, and was introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty.

　　Nowadays, peppers can be seen everywhere in our lives, also known as chili pepper, Spicy Horn, Sea Pepper, Pepper, Qin Pepper, etc. They can be eaten directly as vegetables, and can also be used as spices for seasoning various dishes. Sichuan, Hunan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Jiangxi and other provinces in China are all famous "no spicy, no happy" areas.

　　In addition to raw or fried food, Chili powder, Chili oil, Chili sauce, chopped pepper and pickled pepper made of Chili are also popular ways to eat. Different varieties of pepper can present different colors, with red being the most common. The common varieties in China are Xiaomi pepper, Erjingtiao, Horn pepper, Horn pepper, Morning pepper, Lantern pepper and so on.

　　How much do you know about "spicy" nutrition?

　　1. vitamin c

　　Speaking of the nutrition of pepper, the most commendable thing is its rich vitamin C, which is a leader in the vegetable industry.

　　Green pepper contains 62 mg of vitamin C in 100 g, while small red pepper contains 144 mg of vitamin C in 100 g, which is 7 times that of tomatoes and 4 times that of oranges.

　　Needless to say, the benefits of vitamin C have long been deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

　　2. Carotene

　　Carotene in pepper is also rich, which helps to maintain the health of eyes and skin.

　　3. Other nutrients

　　In addition, small peppers also contain B vitamins, vitamin E, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, selenium and other nutrients.

　　4. Capsaicin

　　Pepper is not only rich in nutrition, but also contains a unique class of active substances — — Capsaicin, that is, the spicy ingredient in pepper.

　　A large number of studies show that capsaicin has many physiological functions, including stimulating appetite and promoting digestion; Protect gastric mucosa, prevent and treat gastric ulcer; Promote fat metabolism, reduce fat and lose weight; Analgesia, diminishing inflammation and relieving itching; Dispel wind and dampness, and protect joint health; Lowering blood pressure and cholesterol and protecting cardiovascular system; Anti-cancer and so on.

　　With the function of capsaicin being gradually recognized, natural capsaicin and synthetic capsaicin extracted from pepper have become an important by-product of pepper and are widely used in food industry and medical field.

　　How to "Surrender" the King of Vitamin C

　　Pepper is a wonderful vegetable. People who love it are all hot and unhappy, and those who hate it avoid it. For those who can eat spicy food and love spicy food, pepper must be a frequent visitor at the table, but they may not eat spicy food.

　　Why do you say that? As mentioned earlier, pepper is the king of vitamin C, but vitamin C is very unstable. If the cooking method is unreasonable, it will be easily destroyed. Therefore, it is not enough to say that the content is high, and it is the last word to eat it in the stomach.

　　In order to destroy vitamin C in pepper as little as possible, raw food is a good choice. If you want to stir-fry, it is best to stir-fry quickly.

　　Many people like to eat Chili products such as Chili sauce and Chili oil. This way of eating spicy food not only greatly reduces vitamins, but also easily ingests excessive salt, which is not healthy and should not be eaten more.

　　After all, not everyone can enjoy the spicy pepper. What about people who can’t eat spicy pepper?

　　In fact, when making cold salad, you can completely replace some peppers with sweet peppers. The content of capsaicin in sweet pepper is less, but the content of vitamin C and carotene is no less than that of pepper, and the colorful pepper can make people happy, especially for children, which is helpful to encourage them to eat more vegetables.

Profile picture: Russian President Vladimir Putin

　　　　The British media recently revealed that some powerful people in the Russian government hope that Putin can re-serve as Russian president one year after the end of his presidency in March next year. The analysis believes that Putin’s political achievements during his presidency give him reason to become president again.

　　　　Is expected to serve as president until 2023.

　　　　Russian political "power tycoons" composed of former KGB officials expressed their hope that Putin will serve as president for at least another eight years, and even continue until 2023 if possible. Members of this power group include Igor Xie Xin, deputy director of the President’s Office, and Victor Ivanov, Putin’s senior adviser. These officials believe that once Putin leaves office, they are likely to be "kicked out" of the Kremlin.

　　　　Last week, Putin expressed the possibility of becoming Russian prime minister in the future, which surprised his aides. However, according to the plan of the "power tycoons", Putin will return to the presidency after a short term as prime minister. Because there is a short interval between the second and third terms, this practice is not unconstitutional. Once in the Kremlin again, Putin will be able to continue to legally complete the other two presidential terms.

　　　　A source close to Putin’s office said: "For more than two years, the outside world has always believed that Putin will withdraw from Russian politics after his term ends. But now earth-shaking changes have taken place. " "There is no doubt that Putin now wants to stay in politics, either as prime minister or return to the presidency. Such a move has also been supported by Russian political circles and most people. "

　　　 On October 1, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke at the Eighth Congress of the United Russia Party held in Moscow. On the same day, Putin said that he would lead the United Russia Party campaign group to participate in the new State Duma (lower house of parliament) election on December 2, but he refused to become a member of the party. Xinhua News Agency/AFP

　　　　Putin may amend the constitution after becoming prime minister

　　　　Russia’s "power tycoon" had hoped to keep Putin as president by amending the constitution, but Putin himself did not agree with this practice. Putin said that he hopes to extend the term of a single president to five or seven years, but he will not amend the constitution during his presidency.

　　　　It is speculated that Putin’s statement implies that he will amend the constitution after becoming prime minister. Theoretically, Putin can serve as president for another 14 years after the constitutional amendment. If this plan is finally realized, Putin will serve as Russian president for 22 years.

　　　　Experts say that even as prime minister, Putin can remain in power, and all he needs to do is to transfer part of the president’s power to the prime minister through parliamentary voting. Zubcov, the new Russian Prime Minister, was previously regarded as a popular candidate for the next president. However, due to the lack of power base, Zubcov is likely to be just a "caretaker" of the government.

　　　　The "Putin era" has just begun

　　　　Nikonov, head of the Russian government think tank, said: "At present, it is only the beginning of the Putin era." The famous Russian political critic Pozner said: "Most Russians hope that Putin will continue to serve as president. They believe that Putin has brought them pride again. "

　　　　During his presidency, Putin has brought great changes to Russia, avoiding the turmoil that occurred in Latin American countries in Russia. For example, in saratov, a small town near Moscow, commerce has gradually begun to be established, and manufacturing industries, including furniture factories, can also meet the daily consumption needs of local residents. These developments have solved the problems that have existed since the Soviet era. In addition, local universities are equipped with the best computers, and agriculture has also improved.

　　　　One of Putin’s most important achievements is that the shadow brought by the Chechen issue has gradually dissipated under the guidance of a series of policies. Some media who "don’t like" Putin also admit that Grozny, the capital of Chechnya, has finally begun the process of reconstruction after 20 years of turmoil. The local tourism in Chechnya is also developing vigorously at present, and the tension caused by Chechen terrorists has become a thing of the past.

　　　　The commentary believes that if the Russian people affirm Putin’s political achievements and Russia is indeed in the process of re-emergence, then Putin, as a successful president, has every reason to extend his term again. (Zhong Long)
