Speculators are eyeing Maotai Zodiac wine again? The price difference is as high as 40 thousand yuan

  Maotai launched the Zodiac wine in the Year of the Horse, the Year of the Sheep, the Year of the Monkey and the Year of the Rooster, among which the price of the Year of the Horse wine was 81,666 yuan/bottle on an e-commerce platform.

  For the same bottle of Zodiac Moutai, the price of Maotai official mall is 39,999 yuan, while the retail price of third-party e-commerce platform is 81,666 yuan, and the price gap is as high as 40,000 yuan. Li Baofang, general manager of Maotai Group, pointed out that the supervision of Zodiac wine should be strengthened to avoid excessive abuse, excessive speculation and inflated prices.

  It is understood that Maotai Zodiac Wine in the Year of the Dog is expected to be listed at the end of this month, with a starting price of 1699 yuan/bottle. Up to now, Maotai Zodiac Wine has launched four models: Jiawu Year of the Horse, B Year of the Sheep, Bingshen Year of the Monkey and Ding You Year of the Rooster. In recent years, the price of Maotai Zodiac wine has soared. Experts said that the price of Zodiac wine is artificially high, and investors must be alert to investment risks.

  Status quo: Maotai Zodiac wine is bullish all the way.

  It is understood that in January 2017, Maotai Zodiac Wine in the Year of the Rooster was announced to be listed, with a pre-sale price of 1219 yuan/bottle and an official sale price of 1299 yuan/bottle. On the first day, the sales of Maotai Zodiac wine in the Year of the Rooster exceeded 17 million yuan, and then some channels began to be out of stock or the supply was tight, which led to the rising price of Maotai Zodiac wine in the Year of the Rooster. At present, in Maotai Mall, the retail price of 53-degree 500ml Maotai Zodiac wine in the Year of the Rooster is 2399 yuan/bottle, but the inventory shows "0". In Maotai Mall, the most expensive Zodiac wine is 2.5L five-star 53-degree Year of the Horse Zodiac wine, the retail price is 39,999 yuan/bottle, and the inventory display is also "0".

  On the third-party e-commerce platform, the retail price of 53-degree 500ml Maotai Zodiac Wine in the Year of the Rooster is 3,499 yuan/bottle, which is 1,100 yuan higher than the price of Maotai official website, and it needs to be purchased by appointment. The price of 2.5L single bottle of Year of the Horse Zodiac wine is 81,666 yuan/bottle, which is 41,667 yuan more expensive than that of Maotai official website. The profit margin is quite large, and the intention of wine speculators is very obvious.

  What is the difference between the Zodiac Maotai and Feitian Maotai? A salesperson of a Maotai franchise store in Beijing told the Beijing Youth Daily that the two kinds of Maotai taste no different, that is, the packaging of the zodiac wine is more exquisite, very beautiful, and has commemorative and collectible value.

  Supervision: Zodiac wine is supplied in proportion.

  Regarding Maotai Zodiac Wine in the Year of the Dog, Li Baofang, general manager of Maotai Group, pointed out that according to the industry situation in 2017, Zodiac Wine needs rational development and strengthened supervision to avoid excessive abuse, excessive speculation and inflated prices. It is understood that in response to the market’s concern about the sales ratio of Maotai Zodiac wine in the Year of the Dog, Maotai Group recently issued the "Notice on the Implementation Ratio of Aged Moutai and Guizhou Moutai (Year of the Dog, 1898)", pointing out that the matching index of Maotai Zodiac wine in the Year of the Dog can be implemented monthly or quarterly, but it cannot be implemented cumulatively across quarters; If it is implemented quarterly, it can be implemented once in any month of the quarter, and the cumulative proportion index of Maotai Zodiac wine in the Year of the Dog in this quarter can be implemented at one time; The ratio index of Maotai Zodiac wine in the Year of the Dog that has not been implemented across quarters is invalid; Unaccepted stores don’t match Maotai Zodiac Wine in the Year of the Dog.

  According to relevant regulations, the sales volume of Maotai Zodiac Wine in the Year of the Dog in 2018 is planned to maintain the level of last year, mainly based on specialty stores and special distribution, supplemented by e-commerce and retail. Maotai will cancel the regional distribution system of Maotai Zodiac wine in the Year of the Dog, and all dealers will jointly distribute it. At the same time, Maotai will grade and match the number of Zodiac wines on a monthly basis according to the areas where specialty stores and special dealers are located. Among them, for specialty store channels, Maotai will distribute 20 pieces, 15 pieces and 10 pieces of Maotai Zodiac wine in the Year of the Dog to each store every month according to the region (province, prefecture and county); For special dealers, 15 pieces, 10 pieces and 5 pieces of Maotai Zodiac wine in the Year of the Dog are distributed to each household every month according to the region (province, prefecture and county); In addition, Dalian, Qingdao, Ningbo, Xiamen and Shenzhen are implemented according to the standards of provincial capitals.

  Plan: Maotai will increase the volume of the Spring Festival market.

  This month, it was reported at the 2018 working conference held by Maotai Group that no less than 7,000 tons of Maotai liquor and 6,000 tons of series liquor will be put in before the Spring Festival, reaching 25% and 20% of the annual plan respectively, so as to effectively meet the market demand for the Spring Festival. At the same time, it is proposed to resolutely control and manage the terminal prices of Moutai and Maotai-flavor series wines. We should take the word "stable" first, stabilize the market price, stabilize the market foundation and stabilize the market share. It is necessary to strictly manage the market price to prevent the price from rising too fast and the "high fever" from persisting.

  It is reported that the market price of Moutai is particularly sensitive near the Spring Festival. On January 8th, Kweichow Moutai Co., Ltd. issued a special announcement, requiring subsidiaries at all levels of the company and Maotai Group to sell Feitian 53-degree 500ml Moutai at the price of 1,499 yuan/bottle, without boosting the price, so as to keep the retail price stable. It is recommended that the seller refer to it as appropriate, and do not hoard goods for sale or tie in.

  On January 9th, nearly 100 Maotai dealers jointly issued an initiative in Xi ‘an, unanimously promising to consciously safeguard the interests of consumers and consciously abide by the market order. The price of 53-degree 500ml Feitian Maotai liquor does not exceed 1,499 yuan/bottle, and it will not hoard goods, withhold sales, reluctantly sell or tie in, maintain its strength, deepen the market, improve its service, and be a righteous business for the grand cause of Maotai, the national liquor.

  Maotai Group said that since last year, the market of Moutai has changed from a buyer’s market to a seller’s market, and series of wines have also become a tight resource. But this is also the most difficult time to grasp and the most prone to problems. Maotai Group proposes to be rational and sober, be good at using dialectical thinking and dynamic thinking to examine the market, study the market, do a good job in the market, and strive for initiative.

culture

Mr. Mao Zedong once said: "China’s long-term feudal society has created splendid ancient culture." This shows the importance of culture to a society and even a country. A long history of civilization requires us to pass it on; The touching spirit wants us to continue; Up and down five thousand years of history, want us to pass on. This is the youth in New China, and this is what Mr. Mao Zedong calls the sun at eight or nine o’clock in the morning.

Chinese culture is profound and has a long history. The history of 5,000 years has also made foreign friends admire and admire it. There is only history to have the present, and only the ruins know the rise and fall. Therefore, only by inheriting the traditional culture can we cultivate ourselves and govern the country. Dare to ask which 21st century teenager doesn’t have such a dream? In Jing Ke Stabbed the King of Qin, when Jing Ke went to Qin, the ministers were in tears, but Jing Ke couldn’t bear to look at it, leaving an eternal famous sentence: "The wind is rustling and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return when he is gone." Which of Yan Wang, Jing Ke and Qin Wang in this article does not want their country to be prosperous, their people to live and work in peace and contentment, and their history and culture to be passed down by themselves?

Dynasties are not immutable, and culture is not. If a nation and a country do not have their own unique culture, then I think this country is not far from extinction. Why did Qin Shihuang burn books to bury Confucianism? Code of hammurabi, the first written code in human history, Athens, the first democratic country in human history, many firsts in human history, the first detailed chronicle history book in China history, and many firsts in China history all confirm what Emerson once said: "Culture opens the perception of beauty." Beauty refers not only to the beauty of image, but also to the perfection of culture. "Beauty" runs through us, and culture is interspersed among us. "Cultural progress is the law of the world, and cultural progress is also the trend of China." China people’s ideological and cultural progress, quality of life progress, scientific research progress, medical services progress. China has been making progress, and so have the people of China! In just 70 years, culture has brought us not only cohesion, but also our fighting capacity!

ChatGPT’s Enlightenment to Future Battlefield Intelligence Perception and Decision-making

Author: Liu Xinyu

The combination of artificial intelligence technology and unmanned aerial vehicle will greatly change the existing theory and mode of military operations. The power of artificial intelligence plays a role at all levels of the national defense industry, and the rapid development of artificial intelligence will define the next generation of war. Recently, ChatGPT, a generative artificial intelligence technology developed by OpenAI, has been paid attention to and used all over the world. ChatGPT is a large-scale generative pre-training language model based on transformer. It can train in existing data sets and generate texts similar to human language. This unique ability makes it an ideal tool for military applications. The underlying natural language model and technology that provides power for ChatGPT may completely change the artificial intelligence on the battlefield and have a great impact on the situation awareness and independent decision-making methods in future wars.

Intelligent situational awareness in the whole information domain

In the future military field, there will be a battlefield environment with complex information, high confrontation and changeable tasks. The highly uncertain combat environment puts forward extremely high requirements for the independent perception and cognitive ability of combat equipment. Military equipment needs to have the ability of automatic target detection and identification and multi-sensor data fusion. It can detect and fuse enemy target information and its own support information through autonomous and receiving information acquisition methods, and perceive the battlefield situation and extract important information for subsequent decision-making on the basis of obtaining full information domain.

Based on the demand for intelligent situational awareness, the generative artificial intelligence technology ChatGPT can be integrated into military vehicles, aircraft and other combat systems. With the application of artificial intelligence language robots trained by a large number of models, the required real-time information can be effectively coordinated in a multi-domain environment, and the input data from various sensors can be analyzed to generate a complete, comprehensive and real-time updated operational environment map.

Intelligent technology can play a key role in future military operations. Generative artificial intelligence technology can rely on its strong creativity, understanding and response speed to obtain cross-domain intelligence and battlefield situation data, improve the ability of insight into intelligence, form a highly simulated situation scene, realize dialogue between people and battlefield environment, provide real-time information and situation prediction, enhance the real-time and decision-making of battlefield situation perception, and better support real-time decision-making in military operations.

Real-time and efficient intelligent independent decision-making ability

At present, the autonomous decision-making ability of aircraft has been initially characterized by intelligence and independence. The US Air Force uses artificial intelligence "decision-making assistant tools" in distributed common ground system (DCGS) to help sort out and integrate a large amount of data. This artificial intelligence system connects most airborne intelligence and monitoring and reconnaissance platforms of the US Air Force, and integrates artificial intelligence technology into training to expand into other fields.

If the generative artificial intelligence technology ChatGPT is introduced into the decision-making method of aircraft, it can provide real-time information about enemy positions, movements and capabilities, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of friendly forces in tactical situations based on the prior information database and real-time signal, data and image databases, and at the same time based on the real-time interaction between aircraft and environment, so as to analyze, reason and make decisions, and realize rapid response to battlefield decision-making.

The generative artificial intelligence robot can generate multiple sets of operational plans in a short time when the aircraft is faced with complex and uncertain operational conditions, and preview the battlefield process and results for each set of plans, so as to generate real-time optimal decisions in the face of complex requirements in terms of information acquisition, reaction time, calculation speed, tactical evolution and comprehensive evaluation, and support decision makers with diversified decision plans and deduction results.

Real-time and efficient intelligent autonomous decision-making method can cover the complex situation in real combat environment, play a similar role to human brain in high uncertainty environment, dynamically adjust attack and protection strategies according to real-time situation awareness and operational effectiveness evaluation, and realize efficient confrontation through closed loop of process.

Enlightenment and prospect of intelligent military

Generative artificial intelligence technology breaks the logic of time series calculation, and makes artificial intelligence in multiple sub-fields begin to merge technically. As a new technology in the field of artificial intelligence, deploying ChatGPT in military operations may enhance cross-domain combat capability and realize situational awareness and real-time independent decision-making in all information domains. In the future battlefield, if we can deploy the top-level layout and bottom-level algorithm of generative artificial intelligence with the guidance of military operations and equipment development, with its ability of understanding, responding and interacting with people, we can greatly improve the cognitive and decision-making methods in the battlefield, promote the technical upgrading in key areas, and realize the optimization iteration of combat capability.

From the point of view of data and subsequent development, generative artificial intelligence technology is a more advanced neural network deep learning algorithm, which has high requirements for training data, depends on the authenticity of training data and is easily disturbed by external information. Because of the long training time and billions of parameters, automatic machine learning is needed for multiple lines to generate better calculation results. Therefore, when transforming the technological achievements of generative artificial intelligence, it is necessary to take into account the parameterization requirements of scientific research technology development and the automation requirements of equipment application development, so as to achieve the balance between scientific research liquidity and industrial productization.

Generative artificial intelligence has brought a new paradigm to military applications and set a new route for the next generation of military operations. It is the main problem to apply generative artificial intelligence technology to the military field to actively explore the representation form of situation awareness and decision-making tasks for different military problems and consider how to use effective information for large-scale pre-training. The combination of artificial intelligence technology and military operations and technological innovation will reserve new ways for situation awareness and independent decision-making in future operations, and realize intelligent support for the development of new military equipment.
