1. Samsung TSMC’s revenue gap is the key to expanding the AI chip market.

Samsung Electronics recently released a financial report showing that its semiconductor division’s revenue in the first quarter of this year was 25.1 trillion won (about 51.733 billion yuan), down 17% from the previous quarter. At the same time, TSMC’s revenue in the first quarter increased by 42% year-on-year to 839.35 billion Taiwan dollars (about 38.82 trillion won). As a result, the quarterly revenue gap between the two companies has exceeded 10 trillion won.

It is reported that the decline in revenue of Samsung Electronic Equipment Solutions (DS) department is mainly affected by factors such as semiconductor export control, resulting in a decline in sales of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for AI chips. As a latecomer to the HBM market, Samsung has not yet entered the supply chain of NVIDIA, which makes its HBM business unable to effectively boost its overall performance.

In contrast, TSMC’s outstanding performance is mainly due to the strong demand for AI and the accumulation of chip inventory due to tariff considerations. Wen Junhao, a researcher at Samsung Securities, pointed out that although TSMC’s smartphone business entered the off-season, the growth of high-performance computing (HPC) business successfully made up for this impact.

According to historical data, Samsung surpassed Intel to become the world’s top semiconductor revenue in 2021, but with the memory market weakening since the third quarter of 2022, TSMC began to overtake Samsung. Although Samsung briefly regained its leading position in the second quarter of last year, with the rapid growth of the AI semiconductor market, TSMC has taken the lead again since the third quarter, and the gap has been widening-from about 3 trillion won in the third quarter of last year to 8 trillion won in the fourth quarter, and then to more than 10 trillion won in the first quarter of this year.

The securities industry predicts that the revenue of Samsung’s DS division is expected to rebound to 28-30 trillion won in the second quarter of this year, mainly due to the bottom of the first quarter performance and the recovery of traditional chip demand before the implementation of the US tariff policy. However, TSMC has announced that its revenue forecast for the second quarter is US$ 28.4 billion to US$ 29.2 billion (a contract of 39 to 40 trillion won), which is still about 10 trillion won higher than Samsung’s expectation. Wei Zhejia, chairman of TSMC, said that this year’s annual revenue is expected to increase by 20% in US dollars, and AI-related demand will continue to be strong.

It is worth noting that although Samsung is a comprehensive semiconductor enterprise covering both memory and non-memory, TSMC only focuses on wafer foundry business, and there are differences in their business structure, they have a high degree of influence in the global semiconductor market and compete directly in the foundry field, so the status of "revenue first" is of great symbolic significance. Judging from the current trend, it is difficult to narrow the revenue gap between the two companies in the short term.

In the increasingly fierce competition in the global semiconductor market, the demand change in the AI chip market has become a key factor affecting the company’s revenue. In the future, the layout and performance of Samsung and TSMC in the AI field will further determine their position in the global semiconductor market.

2. President 2.Rapidus: The production speed of 2 nm will be three times that of TSMC, and cooperation has been discussed with 40-50 enterprises.

In an interview with the media recently, President Koike Chunyi of Japan Rapidus said that Rapidus is negotiating with many companies including GAFAM (a giant technology company) and artificial intelligence chip design start-ups in the United States to expand the foundry business. However, obtaining orders from manufacturers in China still faces difficulties.

Rapidus’s trial production line in Chitose City, Hokkaido, has been partially put into operation on April 1st, and it is expected that all processes will be started within this month. At present, the company has signed a memorandum of cooperation with two start-ups such as US AI chip design company Tenstorrent.

In the field of advanced semiconductor production, Rapidus obtained the manufacturing technology of 2 nm products from IBM in the United States, and strived to achieve mass production in 2027. Although this time is two years later than TSMC’s planned 2025, Koike Chunyi emphasized that the speed from ordering to chip production and assembly can be increased to more than 2 to 3 times that of TSMC, forming a differentiated advantage.

Koike Chunyi is full of confidence in the company’s technical prospects, saying that "technicians who know that Japan was the first in the world have mastered the 2-nanometer technology. This is a difficult challenge, but everything is going well at present. " He also pointed out that the improvement speed of the trial products is very fast, and the yield will gradually increase.

At present, TSMC occupies a leading position in the most advanced semiconductor production, and exclusively OEM AI chips and other products from NVIDIA, USA.
Koike Chunyi believes that with the tension between China and the United States, the demand of American customers for second suppliers is increasing, which provides market opportunities for Rapidus.

Looking forward to the future, Koike Chunyi said that Rapidus will also actively deploy 1.4 nm semiconductor technology after 2 nm. He stressed: "If you can’t devote yourself to the next generation of technology in about two and a half to three years, you can’t win in the world." Once the 2 nm OEM business is on the right track, Rapidus will continue to advance the preparation of the next generation of semiconductors.
At present, Japanese manufacturers can only produce 40 nm products at most, while 2 nm technology adopts a completely different semiconductor structure. As a latecomer, Rapidus hopes to return to the forefront of global semiconductor manufacturing by mastering this advanced technology.

3. India seeks to strengthen its chip manufacturing capability, but many projects have suffered major setbacks.

In order to promote the development of the industry from OSAT operation to mature manufacturing capacity, India is currently focusing on the independent manufacturing of intermediate products in the semiconductor value chain, especially chip manufacturing.

It is reported that in the past five years, the compound annual growth rate of investment in India’s semiconductor industry was 10.5%, and it will reach 37.1 million US dollars by 2024. It is expected that this upward trend will continue, and the investment will increase to 109.6 million dollars by 2030. The factors driving this growth include the domestic manufacturing growth of automotive electronics, telecommunications infrastructure, industrial automation and consumer electronics products, especially the expansion of 5G and artificial intelligence-based technologies.

The data shows that in 2024, driven by the electric vehicle revolution, India’s largest demand for semiconductors came from the automotive industry (33%). Driven by the deployment of 5G networks, India’s second largest demand for semiconductors comes from the telecommunications equipment industry (24%). Followed by data centers (14%) and industrial automation (14%), these areas have increased due to the continuous advancement of digital transformation of enterprise operations.

In addition, in 2024, India’s exports of semiconductor components reached US$ 4.21 billion, with a compound annual growth rate of 7.4% in the decade from 2015 to 2024. The main products include integrated circuit chips, capacitors, printed circuit boards and photovoltaic cells, and more than 200 countries/regions imported products from India. Among them, the rapid growth of photovoltaic panels and telecommunications equipment exports reflects India’s rising position in the global market.

In recent years, some initiatives/plans launched by the Indian government have prompted many terminal application fields to establish local OSAT facilities. The analysis points out that India has formulated relevant policy frameworks under the "Made in India" plan and the "Indian Semiconductor Mission" initiative to support its semiconductor ambitions. With the entry of global chip manufacturers, the expansion of domestic production capacity and the growth of R&D investment, India is on the verge of a semiconductor breakthrough.

However, India’s ambition in the global semiconductor manufacturing field has recently suffered a major setback, and two heavyweight companies have successively adjusted or abandoned their original semiconductor manufacturing plans.

In early May, Zoho, a software supplier, officially announced that it would abandon its semiconductor manufacturing plan. The company is famous for providing Zoho One, a business operating system with tools such as CRM, HR and marketing. Zoho announced in May last year that it planned to invest 700 million US dollars to set up a semiconductor wafer factory. Recently, Sridar Vembu, former CEO and current chief scientist of Zoho, said on social media X that the company’s board of directors thought it was not ready to invest in the field of chip manufacturing, so it decided to give up the plan.

At the same time, Adani, a large Indian industrial group, has also suspended discussions with Israeli chip maker Tower Semiconductor on the plan of a $10 billion wafer factory. The cooperation of this project was announced in September last year, and it is planned to build a wafer factory in Panvel, Maharashtra. It is expected to produce 80,000 wafers per month after full production, mainly focusing on the analog and hybrid chip markets. . According to reports, Adani decided that the project was not commercially feasible, so she chose to quit.

According to informed sources, Adani Group previously said that the project was still under evaluation, but after internal evaluation, it was found that there was uncertainty about how much demand the business could generate, especially in the Indian market, so the negotiations with Gaota Semiconductor have been put on hold. Another source said that Adani Group was dissatisfied with the financial resources that Gaota Semiconductor was willing to invest, but did not disclose specific details.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the $19.5 billion joint venture between Vedanta, an Indian enterprise group, and Foxconn, Taiwan, China, broke down in July 2023, because New Delhi was worried about the project cost and the delay in the approval of incentives. At present, the projects being developed in India include a chip manufacturing plant and another chip testing plant invested by Tata Group with an investment of US$ 11 billion, and a chip packaging department invested by Micron with an investment of US$ 2.7 billion.

4. Morgan Stanley: In 2050, the global output value of humanoid robots will reach 5 trillion US dollars, and the cost reduction to 15,000 US dollars is a key turning point.

Recently, Morgan Stanley (referred to as "Morgan Stanley") released the latest research report, saying that it is estimated that the global output value of humanoid robots will exceed 5 trillion US dollars in 2050, and the deployment scale will be 1 billion units.

According to this report, the humanoid robot market will grow in a step-by-step way, starting from 2036 and entering the commercialization stage, breaking through 127 million units in 2040 and reaching the deployment scale of 935 million units in 2050. Morgan Stanley pointed out that the cost reduction to $15,000 is a key turning point, and it will be first applied to standardized fields such as industry and logistics, while home applications are limited by security and AI technology bottlenecks, and the penetration rate is below 8% for a long time.

In addition, the report also said that China has advantages in the field of humanoid robot hardware, while the United States occupies a high position in software, ecology and algorithms. The dispute between geopolitical risks and technical standards will probably lead to industrial division, and China and the United States will each become a camp.

However, Morgan Stanley also admitted that most of the current industries are in the "proof-of-concept stage", and only 4% of enterprises have real soft and hard integration capabilities, and even warned that the industry is suspected of "pulling out the seedlings to encourage".

　　　　　　 CCTV News:On the 20th local time, EU member states held a high-level video conference to discuss some confidential issues such as security threats facing the EU. However, during the meeting, a Dutch reporter suddenly went online, joined the video conference and waved to the participants. After being warned that his behavior was suspected of committing a crime, the reporter apologized for "going offline". The meeting also ended early because of this episode.

　　　　　　 Fairlamb, a Dutch journalist, explained to the media after the incident that he successfully "broke into" the meeting according to the address and password published by the Dutch Ministry of Defence on his social media account, and he did not expect to enter a confidential meeting that the EU claimed to have taken multiple security measures so easily. At present, it is not clear what kind of legal consequences Fairlamb will face, but he said that if he is prosecuted, it means that the EU "would rather attack journalists than solve its own security loopholes".

Highlights:

● Establish and improve the power operation restriction and supervision mechanism, earnestly fulfill the main responsibility of building a clean and honest party style, grasp the "four forms" of supervision and discipline, and sign the "Responsibility Letter for Building a Clean and Honest Party Style" at different levels.

● Summarize and refine the "five-dimensional" evaluation criteria, that is, whether to dismantle a piece of green, whether to dismantle a number of industries with high energy consumption, high pollution and high emission, whether to dismantle a number of security risks, whether to dismantle the space needed to make up for the shortcomings of urban functions and innovation and development, and whether to dismantle the people’s sense of gain.

● Vividly present the highlights of work in a variety of expressions and excellent cultural works, establish a good public image, and form a good situation in which social evaluation continues to improve.

The root of urban management lies in law, and the soul of urban management lies in culture. Urban management culture is the spiritual bond and pillar of urban management law enforcement team, the strong support for urban management law enforcement to achieve new promotion, new breakthroughs and new results, and the source of power for the continuous development of urban management law enforcement. All along, Beijing Haidian District Urban Management Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau (hereinafter referred to as "Haidian Urban Management") has thoroughly implemented the special action requirements and deployment of "strengthening the foundation, changing the style and building the image", paying attention to giving play to the cultural role, strengthening team building, coordinating law enforcement business and shaping a good image.

Moisten the heart with literature: spring breeze melts the rain and cultivates the initial heart

Team building is the primary premise and fundamental guarantee for doing a good job. Haidian Urban Management adheres to the construction of "legal urban management, service urban management, scientific and technological urban management, cultural urban management, public urban management and clean urban management", and uses the power of culture to continue to do a good job in ideological and political education, constantly consolidating the foundation of team development, enhancing team cohesion, centripetal force and combat effectiveness, and enhancing professional honor, team belonging and social identity.

Build a strong value concept. The foothold of urban management culture is to form the core value of urban management. Adhering to the value concept of "loyalty, dedication, pragmatism and honesty", Haidian Urban Management has formed the urban management spirit of "being especially hard-working, fighting, patient, dedicated and United", deepened the mechanism of "reporting at the whistle" and "handling complaints immediately", and practiced "77".

Improve the rules and regulations. Haidian Urban Management focuses on system construction, and strives to establish a rule-based, standardized and efficient rules and regulations system based on the principle of "strict stipulation, strict restriction and serious implementation". Revise and improve various systems, implement the record system of the whole process of law enforcement, implement the "double publicity" system and establish the "double random" spot check system, and strive to form a good pattern of "managing people with the system and doing things according to the system", which has laid a solid foundation for the development of all work.

Strengthen the education of clean government. Urban management law enforcement has a wide contact with the society and a close relationship with the interests of the masses, and it faces many risks of power and integrity. Haidian Urban Management is based on the requirements of strictly administering the Party in an all-round way, always putting discipline and rules ahead, establishing and improving the supervision mechanism for restricting the operation of power, earnestly fulfilling the main responsibility of building a clean and honest party style, grasping the "four forms" of supervision and discipline, and signing the "Responsibility Letter for Building a Clean and Honest Party Style" at different levels. Organize a warning education conference and carry out targeted analysis of accountability cases, hire party style and political style supervisors to carry out external supervision, organize a visit to the exhibition of "Anti-corruption is always on the road", strengthen the construction of team discipline and style, persevere in the fight against corruption and the special struggle to eliminate evils, focus on preventing and punishing unhealthy practices within the team, and strive to build an urban management law enforcement team with "firm politics, excellent style, strict discipline, honesty and pragmatism".

Promoting governance by writing: keeping integrity, innovating and fulfilling the mission

Based on the functional orientation of "comprehensive coordination, comprehensive law enforcement, comprehensive supervision and comprehensive service", Haidian Urban Management has transformed the achievements of cultural construction into the quality of environmental order, especially in the practice of resolving non-capital functions, formed a systematic and clear working idea, created many effective working mechanisms and standards, gnawed many "hard bones" and solved a number of hot and difficult problems that the masses strongly reflected.

Establish a "five-dimensional" evaluation standard. In the treatment of illegal construction, Haidian Urban Management firmly grasps the strategic positioning of the capital city, strictly implements the requirements of Beijing’s overall urban planning, follows the idea of "finding out the number, controlling the increment, reducing the stock and improving the quality", and follows the "two-for-one" policy of "reducing the burden on the city and empowering the development", and summarizes and refines the "five-dimensional" evaluation criteria. That is, whether to demolish a piece of green, whether to demolish a number of industries with high energy consumption, high pollution and high emission, whether to demolish a number of potential safety hazards, whether to demolish the space needed to make up for the shortcomings of urban functions and innovation and development, and whether to demolish the people’s sense of gain, marks that Haidian’s illegal construction management work has entered the quality era from the quantitative era, fills the gap in the quality evaluation basis of illegal construction management, and has become an important reference for Beijing’s illegal construction management work.

Construct a "four-line layout" system. According to the characteristics of multi-point, wide-ranging and easy-to-rebound environmental order management, Haidian Urban Management has built a working system of "four-line layout, multi-point promotion, classified policy, and long-term success" to co-ordinate all kinds of special law enforcement work. First, the source controls the "underground line", deepens the connection of law enforcement between departments, strengthens the supervision of the source, strengthens the off-site law enforcement methods, and focuses on the illegal activities such as slotting and digging, dust pollution on the construction site, illegal night construction, and leakage of muck transport vehicles. Remediation. The second is to comprehensively purify the "ground line", focus on rectifying the illegal activities of occupying roads that are highly concerned by the society and strongly reflected by the masses, and ensure the realization of the goal of "dynamic clearing". The third is to effectively beautify the "air line", strictly control illegal outdoor plaques and illegal small advertisements, and improve the quality of the visual environment. The fourth is to comprehensively control the "invisible line", implement the responsibility for safety production, and strive to eliminate potential safety hazards.

Establish a "outreach and internal cooperation" mechanism. Efforts have been made to eliminate the blind spots in law enforcement of environmental order issues in the border areas under the jurisdiction. With the goal of "beautiful border areas", the concept of "co-creation" and the method of "regional governance", Haidian Urban Management has innovatively established a linkage law enforcement mechanism of "outreach and internal cooperation", broken through administrative barriers, integrated power resources, strengthened law enforcement interaction, and implemented the working mode of "one whistle blowing and neighbors reporting", effectively mobilizing all responsible subjects and law enforcement subjects. In terms of "outreach", based on the principle of "equality, mutual trust, pragmatism and cooperation", we promoted joint cooperation with the surrounding six districts (Xicheng, Chaoyang, Fengtai, Shijingshan, Changping and Mentougou), jointly issued the Millennium Monument Declaration of "Beauty and Beauty, Creating Together", set up a collaborative management team for the boundary of the capital area (around Haidian), and signed cooperation agreements and agreements. In terms of "internal cooperation", we will promote exchanges and cooperation between the streets and towns in the region, build a community of environmental order responsibility, improve the efficiency of law enforcement coordination, enhance the joint efforts of urban management, and achieve win-win sharing through unified command and dispatch, unified management and control standards, unified law enforcement norms, unified law enforcement processes, and unified law enforcement efforts.

Shaping by writing: setting up a banner and showing off your style

Image is the life of the urban management law enforcement team. All along, Haidian Urban Management has focused on the overall situation, stood in front of the station, actively voiced and planned, carried out its work vividly, paid attention to presenting the highlights of its work in a three-dimensional and vivid way with various expressions and excellent cultural works, established a good public image, and formed a good trend of continuous improvement in team social evaluation.

Choose advanced typical figures from trees. Haidian City Management pays attention to going deep into the grass-roots front line, digging example stories and setting up models around. For example, Li Zhiqiang, an urban management hero who devoted himself to his mission, He Xiao, who volunteered to take care of the widowed elderly, Zhang Huailiang, who donated blood for as many as 180 times, Su Jinda, the captain of the demolition team who was good at pulling out the nail house, and Liu Xue, who actively participated in epidemic prevention and control. By selecting advanced typical figures around the tree, Haidian Urban Management has concretized, visualized and personalized the intangible urban management culture, which not only creates a good atmosphere of learning advanced, catching up with advanced and being advanced, but also plays an important role in singing the main theme, promoting truth, goodness and beauty, spreading positive energy and establishing new fashions.

Create excellent literary and artistic works. Relying on vivid and rich law enforcement practice, Haidian Urban Management has created a large number of literary and artistic works that are close to life, inspiring morale, warming people’s hearts and being loved by the masses in accordance with the cultural construction idea of "forging the soul of urban management, purifying the heart of urban management, standardizing the trip of urban management, cultivating the feelings of urban management and creating the articles of urban management".

Create a brand of urban management culture. Haidian Urban Management borrows the colloquial phrase "Urban Management is coming" that mobile vendors often shout to avoid punishment, giving it a new connotation of the times: now that urban management is coming, there is no need to avoid it. Urban management comes for everyone, for the beauty and order of the city, and for making the city warmer and better. Set up "Urban Management Literature Studio", and gradually form Haidian urban management cultural brand named after "Urban Management Comes", spread positive energy and establish a new image.

Strengthen the propaganda of news media. Haidian Urban Management attaches great importance to the positive reporting role of the news media, and has won more support, understanding and help from all walks of life by holding work achievement exhibitions and press conferences and launching "Urban Management Open Day" and other activities to eliminate cognitive prejudice and create a favorable atmosphere.

　　On October 8th, the second season finals of China’s new songs were held in the Bird’s Nest, and Tibetan singer Zahi Bing Zo won the championship in one fell swoop. The season ended, but the news around "new songs" did not end. On October 11th, Na Ying, the "iron-clad" in the mentor group, announced that she would no longer participate in the recording of the subsequent "New Songs" and would no longer serve as a mentor. On the same day, after the video of Eason Chan’s participation in a Hong Kong program was exposed on the Internet, it was interpreted by netizens as "the shady selection of new songs".

　　However, the coming and going of tutors and the later pattern editing have already become the normal state of today’s reality show, and it is certainly not these that really make the "new songs" a headache.

　　Na Ying quit?

　　Producer’s response: it does not affect the continuation of "new songs"

　　Na Ying is the only tutor who has never been absent for six years, with four seasons of Good Voice of China (the predecessor of China’s new songs) and two seasons of New Songs of China. But just when everyone acquiesced that she would stick to it, on October 11th, Na Ying Studio issued a statement through Weibo, saying, "It’s time to say goodbye to everyone seriously." Na Ying said in the statement that she was very reluctant to the program, the students and the instructors who fought side by side, and she was very grateful. Every time she made a choice, she felt tormented and powerless. However, she resolutely made a decision: "With the end of the new song competition in the second season, all the students in Class 2, Grade 6 have officially graduated, and it’s time for me, as a tutor, to have a rest", and "This time it’s true … …” After six years on duty, Na Ying brought out three-season champions Liang Bo, Diamond and Zhang Lei, whose teaching ability was particularly obvious in Liang Bo. Among the students in that season, there were MoMo Wu who was different from others, and Summer who had international style, but Liang Bo won the championship by virtue of the last big explosion, among which Na Ying’s song selection played a great help.

　　In the finals just past, in order to help his student Guo Qin prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Na Ying gave up the opportunity to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with his family, took Guo Qin and the band to Chongli, rode a road bike to the top of the mountain to enjoy the moon, played and sang together, and missed his hometown. In the meantime, he was caught in a traffic jam for five and a half hours. Why did Na Ying, who is so dedicated, suddenly quit? In an interview, Simon Lu, the propaganda director of the producer of China New Songs 2, did not disclose the time and reason for Na Ying’s decision to leave, but still said: "Since the new songs program was held, every year we will send invitations to all the instructors who have the greatest influence and appeal in the music world. In the end, no matter which four tutors join us, we have a long-term cooperative relationship with all these teachers. Not only in the program, but also outside the program. " Regarding whether the next new song will be affected, Simon Lu’s answer is: "The audition for the third" New Song of China "has already started."

　　Eason Chan "broke the news"?

　　Producer’s response: Someone took it out of context.

　　Just after seeing Na Ying off, the topic of tutor Eason Chan’s shady new songs was hotly searched. The cause of the incident is that Eason Chan recently appeared on a Hong Kong talk show, and a group of hosts sharply questioned his feelings of participating in the mainland draft variety show for the first time. Among them, Eason Chan mentioned, "Individual contestants returned to the scene and accepted blind selection again. Not only that, but the live director also asked me to take a button with Na Ying in the headset to choose her … …” In this regard, "New Songs" issued a statement yesterday saying that some of Eason Chan’s remarks about "New Songs" were misinterpreted and misread. "New Songs of China" has always had a resurrection competition system in the blind selection stage, and a very small number of "pearl-left" students who were not selected by their tutors in the blind selection stage but left their tutors with regrets can get a second resurrection opportunity. Even if they get a precious chance of resurrection, students still need to get the approval of their instructors by singing in order to stay on the stage successfully. Moreover, in that program, when the host asked the program group if there was anything unfair, Eason Chan also clearly stated that "I believe what I saw was not true". However, this paragraph was cut off.

　　How to solve the puzzle of "aesthetic fatigue"

　　It has long been normal for the mentor to stay or stay, and the shady truth is true and false. What really worries the "new songs" is actually how to spend the audience’s aesthetic fatigue period. Not to mention the good days of the "Good Voice" era, just comparing the data of the first season of "New Songs", we can also see the decline of this program. According to CSM52 data, the audience rating of "New Songs" in the first quarter finals was 3.956%, and the market share was 16.05%. This year, "New Songs 2" was launched, with a premiere audience of 52.48 million, a decrease of nearly 13.952 million compared with the previous quarter, and the audience rating in the finals was only 2.201%.

　　In terms of popular players, "new songs" are also not dominant. As a talent show, the number of Weibo fans of Victor Ma, the runner-up of the online variety "Tomorrow’s Son", increased from 197 before the game to 1.16 million, and the champion Mao was not easy to increase from 101 to 2.61 million. In contrast, Jiang Dunhao, the champion of the first season of "New Songs", currently has 280,000 fans; In the second season, the number of fans of Guo Qin, the runner-up of the new course, was 70,000, while that of champion Zahi Bing Zo was only 20,000. No wonder some people sigh, "After watching the whole season program, I only remembered the gags of Na Ying, Liu Huan, Eason Chan and Jay Chou, but I didn’t remember any students".

　　The focus of this season’s "new songs" has been tilted towards the mentor. This year’s mentor’s opening show was extended from 19 minutes last year to more than 30 minutes. Four mentors sang a total of nine songs, compared with only five last year. In future programs, the interaction between tutors is far richer than the content of students, so that some people commented that "new songs" changed from a large-scale music commentary program to a large-scale emotional talk show. However, this transformation has not led to an increase in the popularity of the program.

　　In addition, the "new songs" have to resist the strong rise of online comprehensive "Hip Hop in China", "Son of Tomorrow" and "Happy Boys". Compared with "new songs", the latter has more accurate audience positioning, more distinct musical attitude, more flexible production methods and stronger marketing and communication capabilities … …

　　Next year, the "new songs" will soon usher in the "seven-year itch". Can this program still maintain its position as the first music variety on TV?

Intern: Don’t be an annoying "goose with a dull head"

There are always new faces in the office, so don’t ask, either interns or new employees on probation.

After a flash of two months, some of the new faces got what they wanted and became familiar faces in the square opposite; Some of them are a passer-by in the office who is forgotten in a blink of an eye; The worst thing is those who have been away for a long time and are still impressive: "It’s so wise of the boss not to let that person stay!"

In most cases, it’s not because everyone is narrow-minded, nor because that person’s ability is poor, mainly because he or she really doesn’t know how to deal with people. "Being a colleague with this kind of person is a disaster!"

A "goose with a dull head" that won’t roll over.

Audit by Daniel accounting firm

That time, there was a master of economics who was still on probation and went on a business trip with us to do projects in other places. At lunch time, as usual, we have to wait for the customer to have dinner together, but the customer is in a meeting, so we are not in a hurry, while continuing our work, we will wait slowly.

Everyone kept their heads down, but the master stood out from the crowd, looking around with his head held high and fidgeting. Finally, he couldn’t help saying to me, "When shall we finish?" Before he could answer, he changed his excited tone and raised his voice and said to everyone, "Well, I’ll sell it to everyone!" What do you want? " Hey! He didn’t want to think about it either. The client’s company is in the suburbs, and there is no shop within a few kilometers. Besides, we didn’t call ourselves hungry. We came to practice, so we were absent-minded!

That night, I worked overtime in the hotel. I stared at the computer, and he didn’t have much work at hand. He watched TV and glanced at me. Finally, he couldn’t help but ask, "What can I do for you?"

"have you done everything Senior arranged for you?" "Ready! Done! " "Then look at the working papers and learn more." After a silence, he suddenly said, "I’ll go to Senior and see what else she can do for me!" " Dizzy! It’s almost midnight! Sure enough, within two minutes, he turned back despondently. It turned out that Senior was taking a bath when he knocked at the door, so he had to open the door with a bath towel. He didn’t show any signs. At thirteen o’clock, he asked nervously, "What can I do?" Without saying anything, Senior slammed the door tightly …

"capable" "gifted scholar"

Staff of Henry IT company

Half a year ago, our department recruited two new people at the same time, one was a master of computer science in Tsinghua, and the other was an undergraduate in a third-rate university. Now, undergraduate students have turned positive, while master Tsinghua has long since disappeared.

The master’s degree is excellent. On the first day of work, a colleague asked him to use Excel to calculate a batch of data. He took a look and said, "This is too simple. I won’t do it. Do it yourself!" The undergraduate is a little girl with a sweet smile. If she doesn’t understand anything, she will ask her colleagues cleverly. When they answer, she will copy it in a small notebook and take it out for digestion during lunch break.

In the first half month, I didn’t see what the master was doing, except sending some funny emails to everyone with the company’s mailbox and always burying my head in typing. Half a month later, before the end of a regular departmental meeting, the manager fought back a smile and said, "A new employee in our department wrote a copy of" Ten Problems in Marketing Management "and gave it to the boss, who asked me to convey it at the meeting." He greeted the master who sat straight and looked proud. "Remember to send your own writing to everyone after the meeting …"

MM, an undergraduate, sat by and listened with a smile all the time. The meeting was held late that day, and there were only a few plates of leftovers when I went downstairs to eat. She suggested that everyone go to a small restaurant to have a rare tooth, and everyone responded. On the way, she went to the bathroom, and when we asked AA to pay the bill, she smiled and said, "I did. Everyone has a meal sticker, and it’s the same for you next time. "

At the end of the three-month probation period, the manager talked to the master about salary. His old man was rude: "Although I have a high degree, I don’t have high salary requirements, as long as the monthly salary is 7,000." After tax! " The manager’s face changed: "Our company does not talk about academic qualifications, but only about contributions. Even aunts who sweep the floor will get a reasonable salary as long as they do well. I’m sorry, I don’t think you are worth the price … "

"Are you almost finished?"

Miss Wang, media personnel

The most annoying intern I have ever seen in my life is in a public relations company.

That time I went to an activity, I arrived early, and my boss was busy around. She asked a new face standing by to greet me. The little boy introduced that he had just come to this company as an intern. If you need anything, just tell him. Just after a few commonplaces, he pulled into our newspaper: "Oh! Are you from XX? Are you almost finished? "

I froze for a while, making sure I heard it right. "Why do you …?"

"Ah, I used to practice in another newspaper, and they were very prosperous at that time, but it didn’t take long for me to practice, and it went downhill! I think your newspaper is so famous … "

I rolled my eyes and was not interested in talking to him. Later, in a chat, I casually mentioned it to his boss. She gasped and said, "I fired this child the next day. Do you know about verbal abuse? He told a reporter from another magazine that he didn’t have your good temper, so he found me on the spot with a pale face … "

Interns use me as a gun.

Amanda, marketing clerk

That little girl Stella, who has been an intern in our company for three days, "forced" everyone to walk around her-there are too many words!

Some colleagues privately said that she was "a rabbit" and her ears stood high all day. No matter what people were discussing, she would suddenly appear and insert a few words with confidence. Talking about advertising arrangements, she said she could go to the railway station to advertise, because there is a large flow of people there-please! Will the piles of migrant workers there buy our cosmetics? Complaining about the supplier, she interjected and said, "Forget it, do you want me to contact you?"-the activity is halfway through, so what a ghost! The most exaggerated thing is that she will ask "Is there any activity that I can cooperate with you recently"-an intern, how can there be "cooperation"?

At the dinner table, she made an open-minded inquiry, asked about the activities we were doing from the most basic definition of marketing, and then added "just right": "I read a book before, and it said …, is that what you mean?" -all know, why ask!

Later, it was getting too much! That time, she went to Frank, who was in charge of the promotion activities, to make a statement, but he bounced back because her suggestion was completely impossible to implement. "I’m bored to death by suggesting that I don’t’ pick up the scorpion’." Frank complained. Unexpectedly, she turned to me and asked me, "I have a suggestion. Can you help me transfer it to Frank?" "Why don’t you just tell him?" She blurted out, "He doesn’t seem very interested. Maybe it would be better if you helped me?" My heart is on fire-Frank bought my face, and on the surface, he naturally promised. However, as an intern, you dare to use me as a gun?

Be successful in my official career during the probation period.

The first 90 days of entering a new company are the most important. If you follow these principles, you can be invincible in the workplace!

■ Absorb knowledge like a sponge.

You need to do your homework, which includes studying the company’s website, reading the annual report, and understanding competitors, products and services.

■ Remember the names of everyone you meet.

Write down the names of everyone you have seen in the past few months, and remember their characteristics and work-if you can accurately name everyone, you will be liked by the other party, and being liked by everyone is the key to ensuring career development.

■ Study interpersonal relationships like "Eight Bitches"

Make good use of your eyes and ears to get to know the influential people without titles in the company. But in any case, don’t get involved in right and wrong.

■ Learn like idolize.

The boss wears the same clothes as the people at the next higher level, but he can’t dress more ostentatiously than he does. Your job is just to make your immediate superior feel that you look like someone from their company.

■ Work as hard as an ox

As a newcomer, you must make an impression of hard work. You need to arrive early and leave late.

In addition, there are some things that colleagues can do, but if you do, people will think that you are too idle. For example, forwarding humorous emails or making personal calls.

■ Activities that surround the company like flies.

This will show your enthusiasm for the company. But these activities had better be related to your work. If you are an intern in the marketing department, don’t be too interested in the media list of the public relations department, which will make people feel that you are looking forward to it.
