Research and development costs are low, and it is difficult to break the low-end positioning. How can domestic beauty cosmetics go far?

The Beijing News (Reporter Wang Shengnan) The cake of domestic beauty cosmetics is getting bigger and bigger, and the problems are also coming. Experts pointed out that the operation mode of low R&D and high marketing has never been able to break the positioning of the low-end domestic beauty brands. With the strong overweight of international brands after the recovery of the China market, it is not easy for domestic beauty brands to go more steadily and further.

"Recently, Hua Xizi’s advertisement was circulated in the elevator every day", "I saw the advertisement of Perfect Diary in the elevator, and actually found Zhou Xun to endorse it" … On the eve of the Double Eleven, Hua Xizi and Perfect Diary, domestic beauty brands that rely on online channels to grow day by day, chose Baping elevator to seize the consumer market through offline media. At the same time, it is still accelerating the layout of offline stores. By the end of September this year, Yixian E-commerce has opened more than 200 offline experience stores in more than 90 cities in China.

As for the reasons for developing offline channels, Hou Cong, a health beauty consultant and life aesthetician, pointed out that on the one hand, domestic beauty brands need to continue to explore potential customers offline, expand brand recognition, and conform to the traditional consciousness of "running away from monks but not temples" in China consumer market. For first-and second-tier cities, offline channels have the function of "brushing the sense of existence" and "shooting the face", while for consumers in sinking cities, what is real and within sight is still their important consideration.

On the other hand, relying on online channels is not a long-term solution. Although online marketing has brought high sales, the cost is also huge. For example, the annual report of Polaiya, which occupies a place in the recommendation list of beauty bloggers, shows that in 2019, the annual net profit of Polaiya was 393 million yuan, but the sales expenses reached 1.223 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 38.03%, of which the image promotion expenses were 839 million yuan. The high sales expenses contributed to the performance growth, but did not change the profitability. In 2019, the net interest rate of Polaiya decreased from 12.14% in 2018 to 11.73%, and the gross profit rate also decreased slightly from 64.03% to 63.96%. At the same time, the insiders also pointed out that the current way of marketing to create explosions is limited to the overall improvement of the brand, and users have not generated high loyalty to the brand. Continuing to create explosions means long-term high sales expenses.

In contrast to the high sales expenses, there are unmatched R&D expenses. In 2019, the sales expenses of Polaiya reached 1.223 billion yuan, and the research and development expenses were 74.6026 million yuan, and in 2018 it was 51.2918 million yuan. After large-scale marketing, the quality and reputation of domestic beauty cosmetics are not satisfactory. In the comments on Hua Xizi’s explosive powder, there are many comments such as "it’s not as good as shaking audio and video", "the packaging is really beautiful, but it’s really difficult to use" and "the advertising is too boastful".

Hou Cong pointed out that at present, the positioning of domestic beauty brands is still dominated by the low-end and middle-end, and the operating mode of low gross profit and high marketing has aggravated the financial burden of brands. At the same time, low-cost means can easily make brands reach the profit bottleneck ahead of time, which can only be used as one of the chips to enhance competitiveness, not a long-term solution. Nowadays, consumers’ loyalty to brands and commodities is not as good as before, so it is the key to seize consumers through product innovation and technical iteration, which is why many cosmetic products with indicators will be updated on the original basis every few years. The rapid development cycle and reaction speed of domestic beauty cosmetics meet the needs of consumers faster, but the quality system and related technologies are still not perfect, which can’t keep up with the development speed, and the quality and safety that follows will also become a problem.

Compared with international brands, Hou Cong said that in addition to the low-end positioning of domestic beauty products, some brands still have a "three-minute fever" operation mode, which is difficult to adhere to product research and development, technological innovation and consumer service, and the technology and high professionalism are still not as good as international brands. In addition, the enthusiasm of domestic beauty brands for independent research and development is also being hit by endless imitations. Insiders pointed out that after a domestic beauty product became popular, some brands that wanted to rub traffic would copy the original, launch their own products, and dilute the original traffic and sales. Over time, it weakened the enthusiasm of domestic beauty brands for independent research and development.

From skin care, make-up to medical beauty, China’s beauty market has great potential. According to the report released by data analysis agency GlobalData in June this year, the beauty market in China is expected to grow from 39 billion yuan in 2019 to 59.5 billion yuan in 2024, with a compound annual growth rate of 8.8%. After the outbreak of the epidemic, the China market is the first to recover. Although domestic beauty brands occupy the home advantage, international brands are also overweight, which is bound to carve up the existing market. How to go far and stabilize after the rise, there are still many problems that domestic beauty brands need to ponder.

Football entering the campus is not as simple as a "kick"

At the beginning of the new semester, the students of Beijing Primary School in Xicheng District got a big gift. They had a close contact with Zhang Lu, an old alumnus and a famous football commentator, and beijing guoan football club, the vice chairman of the school, and will enjoy a week of football lessons from this semester. At the beginning of this month, Zhang Lu and Yang Pu, director of Guoan Youth Department, were employed as experts in football curriculum guidance for primary schools in Beijing. ("Beijing News" March 17)

On November 26th, 2014, Liu Yandong, Vice Premier of members of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council, gave important instructions on vigorously developing campus football at the national video conference on campus football. In 2015, the Ministry of Education will take back the initiative of campus football, and at the same time, it will launch version 5.0 of the campus football plan to comprehensively promote the development of campus football. As a sign, up to now, local education departments have successively issued specific implementation plans, and football is in the ascendant on campus, which has become the biggest reform highlight of school physical education curriculum and sports activities. Not to mention the excitement of this move to the Chinese people’s "criticized feelings" about football, but in terms of the sports interest, exercise significance and sports value of football itself, football entering the campus is indeed a school physical education reform worth looking forward to.

However, in the eyes of many people, the introduction of football into the campus is just to increase the proportion of a ball game in the content of physical education teaching, which is nothing more than to increase the content of some football activities and teaching content. But in fact, it is far from it. The second national security club’s move to "enter" Beijing primary school is also a refreshing and exemplary attempt. On the one hand, it is a famous football professional club, and on the other hand, it is an interested primary school teacher and student. Their integration and closeness once again confirms and shows that football entering the campus is far from a simple football education truth and connotation.

If football enters the campus, from a sports point of view, it may be an item and content to increase the amount of "kicking". But in essence, behind it is the follow-up and improvement of complex and demanding related auxiliary measures. First of all, the content of physical education curriculum has increased in connotation science. Although football has turned into an increase in the content of simple sports activities and the form of courses outside the campus, there are many and complicated questions to be answered behind a small football. How to cultivate students’ interest in football? How to carry out targeted and scientific football training content on the basis of adapting to students’ age and physical and mental development characteristics? How to implement different football curriculum education according to gender? How to lay a scientific curriculum carrier and approach? Wait, these are all urgent questions to answer.

Secondly, for football to enter the campus, on the surface, it is the reform and deepening of football physical education, but in essence it also includes the ardent concern about the teaching reform and popularization of competitive sports, the cultivation and promotion of football literacy for the whole people, and the ways and attempts to cultivate competitive consciousness and physical literacy. Therefore, football entering the campus is far from being as simple as a "kick". The ardent expectation for the sports literacy of the whole people, the expectation and concern for the prosperity of football, etc. are hidden behind it. Therefore, this is by no means a matter for education departments and schools, but should become a hot spot of concern for the whole society.

At the same time, when football enters the campus, apart from the reform and improvement of the curriculum itself, where do professional teachers come from? Where can I find the sports ground? I’m afraid this is an urgent problem to be solved. Therefore, how to make full use of the existing resources, let professional teams and clubs and professionals lean down to talk about football fun among primary and secondary school students, how to get close to professional venues and professional objects to form a common football education channel, and how to make getting close to football, accepting football and happy football become the landscape of campus education reform in the most acceptable ways and methods for young people? I’m afraid all these things need our attention and intervention, participation and even shaking hands with each other to solve.

Football entering the campus is not as simple as "kicking". This is a key and key point directly related to the cultivation of young people’s sports literacy, the forging of competitive interest, the improvement of comprehensive quality and even the rise of national sports fitness. It should be the concern of the whole society, and sports, education, health, sports, professional teams, football clubs, professional venues, all walks of life and so on should pay attention to and participate in the intervention. The effectiveness of football entering the campus and the quality of the dream of campus football depend on it.

Five developments in one night: thick eyebrows renewed the Lakers’ contract by 186 million yuan, and CBA team quoted the old Rockets.

First, the thick eyebrows renewed the Lakers’ contract by 186 million, making history. According to US media reports, the Lakers insider will sign a three-year, $186 million early contract renewal with the team. Together with the previous contract, the total contract value of Thick Eyebrow now reaches 270 million US dollars, which will expire in 2028, when Thick Eyebrow will be 35 years old. According to statistics, the average annual salary of Thick Eyebrow’s renewal contract is 62 million US dollars, surpassing Jay Brown’s NBA history and becoming the highest average annual salary in history.

Second, the CBA team quoted the old Rockets. According to Luca D’Alessandro, a European journalist, former NBA player Sheved, who once played for the Rockets, will leave CSKA Moscow for the next leg of his journey. It is reported that Sheved has not only received an offer from the European League, but also from the CBA League team in China. I wonder who this team is?

Third, according to Matteo Andreani, a European journalist, Jabbari Parker, who was ranked second in 2014, was pursued by Barcelona, a Spanish league team. Parker hasn’t played for a year and a half since he was injured in January 2022. I wanted to play for the Bucks in the summer league, but I gave up because of family affairs. It is reported that Parker has passed the physical examination, why not consider coming to CBA league?

4. Larsa, the ex-wife of Pippen, a famous NBA Bulls team, said in an interview that she did not meet with Marcus’ father Jordan, but did meet with Marcus’ mother (Jordan’s ex-wife). And think that after Jordan’s documentary "The Last Dance" was broadcast, Pippen and Jordan became estranged. According to the tradition in China, since both parties intend to get married, they should meet their parents, but what should Jordan call Larsa, his sister-in-law or his daughter-in-law? What does Larsa call Jordan, uncle or big brother?

5. Although it is rumored that the No.8 show in 2017 has been pursued by European league teams, according to the news of Wo Shen, Nilikina will sign the Hornets with a one-year partially guaranteed contract. Nilikina averaged 2.9 points per game for the Lone Rangers last season. It is better to go back to the European League than stay on the bench in the NBA. What do you think?

Follow your dreams and watch the concert with James! Praise Lao Zhan for many times: no fear of fans’ criticism

On August 4th, Beijing time, Dreamcatcher and James appeared in Toronto to watch the concert of rapper Brent Faiyaz. The two also took photos with Faiyaz, and some fans showed videos of James and chasing dreams at the concert. It can be seen that the two are quite involved and shake their bodies with live music.

Chasing dreams and traveling with James again caused a heated discussion among fans. The two have been rivals for many years, but they are also friends and business partners in private. Dreamcatcher has always respected James very much, and praised James many times on the show.

For example, when Chasing Dreams was a guest show, he talked about his top five in history. His order was: James, Jordan, Kobe, Curry and O ‘Neill. In his mind, James is the first person in NBA history. When talking about the topic of James’s retirement, Chasing Dreams bluntly said, "I respect him very much and hope that one day he can run for president." For example, recently, chasing dreams praised James’ basketball IQ.

In February of this year, Dreamcatcher also said that Lao Zhan was the greatest front player in NBA history. "LeBron’s pitch contribution, stability and durability prove his lifestyle. I’ve been saying recently that he is the greatest facade player in NBA history. Think about the era we live in now, there are cameras and social media everywhere, but he has never had a scandal, he has never been arrested, and there have never been drunk photos. " Dream-chasing said this.

The fans have a heated discussion about the remarks about chasing dreams. Someone said bluntly: "When can he not mention LeBron?"

There are also fans who believe that since Dreamcatcher and Curry are warriors’ teammates, they should not be so close to James of the Lakers. Chasing dreams has responded to such topics before. He said at the time: "Because of the way I interacted with James, I was criticized a lot. I did celebrate for James and I was happy for him, but it didn’t make Curry’s light dim. For those who criticize me on this matter, I always tell them that there is something wrong with your mentality. I compare the mentality of these people to servility. They just want to pick things up and want us to confront each other. "

In the pursuit of dreams, every star is an independent individual and has the right to choose who to associate with. Curry and Thompson, for example, have been training with Poole recently, even though Poole has left the Warriors and has a bad relationship with dream chasing.

Some fans also wrote: "Clay and Stephen are training with Poole, at the same time, chasing dreams and playing with LeBron (three crying expressions)."

A Weibo 50,000 Shandong Men’s Basketball Association published inappropriate information and was reduced by 50,000 yuan.

After the ticket was issued, Weibo, the official of Shandong Men’s Basketball Team, released a dynamic statement, saying that the club decided to impose internal penalties on Gao Shiyan and Jia Cheng, and one person was fined 100,000 yuan; After that, this Weibo dynamic was deleted.

Romano: The head coach confirmed that brentford wanted to buy out Shad at a transaction cost of 24 million euros.

On May 20th, reporter Romano reported that brentford coach Thomas Frank confirmed that they really wanted to sign German winger Kevin Shad permanently in the summer window.

The 21-year-old German winger was loaned to brentford from Frejborg in January this year, and there was a buyout clause in his lease contract. It is reported that the fee was 24 million euros.

After coming to brentford, Shad played 16 Premier League games for the team and contributed one assist. His current value is 20 million euros. This player was selected for the German national team for the first time in March this year.

At 7: 00 a.m. on April 22nd, in front of the Tianan Qianshu, a landmark building on the Suzhou River in Putuo District, the 2023 Shanghai Suzhou River Half Marathon started, and the road runners shared a sports feast in the early morning sunshine.

On the same day, Mari took the lead in crossing the finish line and won the championship in 1 hour, 03 minutes and 46 seconds. Liu Min won the first place in the women’s team in 1 hour, 13 minutes and 19 seconds. After waiting for 3 hours and 15 minutes, the first Shanghai Suzhou River Half Marathon ushered in the "closing time", and the race completion rate reached 98.78%.

The wind blows thousands of trees and waters in a chain, half of the Masuhe River and 18 bays. In recent years, Putuo District has achieved a comprehensive connection of the coastline of the Putuo section of Suzhou River for 21 kilometers, and made every effort to build a "semi-Masuhe" world-class waterfront. The Suzhou Creek in Putuo District witnessed the rapid changes of Shanghai’s history and culture. The 2023 Shanghai Suzhou Creek Half Marathon was held here, which made people feel the fireworks on the banks of the Suzhou Creek.

2023 Shanghai Suzhou River Half Marathon

The theme of this year’s competition is "Shanghai-style fireworks land, new vitality of Suzhou River", which connects industrial civilization and modern creative buildings spanning over a hundred years in series.

The event was hosted by Shanghai Sports Federation, Putuo District People’s Government and Donghao Lansheng (Group) Co., Ltd.

Olympic knowledge: Are there any football events in the Olympic Games?

There are football events in the Olympic Games.

Olympic Games refers to the Olympic Games, which is sponsored by the International Olympic Committee, the largest comprehensive sports meeting in the world and the most influential sports event in the world.

The history of the Olympic Games can be traced back to ancient Greece more than two thousand years ago, but the modern Olympic Games began in 1896. At the end of 19th century, Frenchman Coubertin put forward the initiative of hosting the modern Olympic Games, which was also held under his efforts, so Coubertin was also called "the father of modern Olympics".

On June 23, 1894, when Coubertin and 79 representatives from 12 countries decided to establish the International Olympic Committee and create the Olympic Movement, this feat was once the object of irony, but now the Olympic Games has become a festival celebrated by all, and the Olympic Movement has attracted the enthusiasm of 202 countries and regions.

The Olympic Committee decided to hold the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, and the venue was Athens, Greece.

Subsequently, the Olympic Games kept its frequency every four years, but there were four special events:

1. The Olympic Games in 1916, 1940 and 1944 were suspended due to world wars;

2. The 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games was postponed to 2021 due to the epidemic.

In the continuous development, the number of Olympic events is also increasing. In 2021, the Tokyo Olympic Games set up 33 major events and 339 minor events, and finally produced 339 gold medals.

Football competition is one of the earliest events in the Olympic Games. By the Atlanta Olympic Games in 1996, women’s events were added to the football competition. So far, the Olympic football competition was divided into men’s football competition and women’s football competition.

However, the Olympic football events are limited by the entry conditions. In 1992, the International Olympic Committee compromised with FIFA, and the Olympic football game became a game for players under 23. In 1993, the International Olympic Committee and FIFA reached an agreement: FIFA respected the age limit of 23, and FIFA allowed each team to have three over-age players.

It is worth mentioning that in the women’s football competition of the 1996 Olympic Games, the China women’s football team lost to the American women’s football team in the final and won the silver medal. The China women’s football team who participated in the Olympic Games for the first time set a good record. In contrast, from the first Olympic Games to the 32nd Tokyo Olympic Games, China men’s soccer team participated in the Olympic Games twice, once in 1988, and was shortlisted by virtue of its strength; Once in 2008, I was shortlisted as the host.

At the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, Brazil won the gold medal, while Spain, Mexico and Japan won 2-4 respectively. The Canadian women’s football team won the gold medal, while Sweden, the United States and Australia won 2-4 respectively.

The above is an introduction about Olympic football.

Technical password of generated image AI

In the past few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has made great progress, and AI’s new products include AI image generator. This is a tool that can convert input statements into images. There are many AI tools for text-to-image conversion, but the most prominent ones are DALL-E 2, Stable Diffusion and Midjourney.

DALL-E 2 is developed by OpenAI and the project of chatgpt is complementary. It generates images through a paragraph of text description. Its GPT-3 converter model trained with more than 10 billion parameters can interpret natural language input and generate corresponding images.

DALL-E 2 mainly consists of two parts-converting user input into a representation of an image (called Prior), and then converting this representation into an actual photo (called Decoder).

The text and images used in it are embedded in another network called CLIP (Contrast Language-Image Pre-training), which is also developed by OpenAI. CLIP is a neural network that returns the best title for the input image. What it does is the opposite of what DALL-E 2 does-it converts images into text, while DALL-E 2 converts text into images. The purpose of introducing CLIP is to learn the connection between visual and text representation of objects.

DALL-E 2′ s job is to train two models. The first one is Prior, which accepts text labels and creates CLIP image embedding. The second is Decoder, which accepts CLIP image embedding and generates images. After the model training is completed, the reasoning process is as follows:

  • The input text is converted into CLIP text embedding using neural network.

  • Use Principal Component Analysis to reduce the dimension of text embedding.

  • Create an image embedding using text embedding.

  • After entering the Decoder step, the diffusion model is used to embed the image into an image.

  • The image is enlarged from 64×64 to 256×256, and finally enlarged to 1024×1024 by using convolutional neural network.

Stable Diffusion is a text-to-image model, which uses CLIP ViT-L/14 text encoder and can adjust the model through text prompts. It separates the imaging process into a "diffusion" process at runtime-starting from the noisy situation, gradually improving the image until there is no noise at all, and gradually approaching the provided text description.

Stable Diffusion is based on Latent Diffusion Model(LDM), which is a top-notch text-to-image synthesis technology. Before understanding the working principle of LDM, let’s look at what is diffusion model and why we need LDM.

Diffusion Models, DM) is a generation model based on Transformer, which samples a piece of data (such as an image) and gradually increases the noise over time until the data cannot be recognized. This model tries to return the image to its original form, and in the process, it learns how to generate pictures or other data.

The problem of DM is that powerful DM often consumes a lot of GPU resources, and the cost of reasoning is quite high due to Sequential Evaluations. In order to train DM on limited computing resources without affecting its quality and flexibility, Stable Diffusion applies DM to powerful Pre-trained Autoencoders.

On this premise, the diffusion model is trained, which makes it possible to achieve an optimal balance between reducing complexity and preserving data details, and significantly improves the visual reality. The cross attention layer is introduced into the model structure, which makes the diffusion model a powerful and flexible generator and realizes the high-resolution image generation based on convolution.

Midjourney is also a tool driven by artificial intelligence, which can generate images according to the user’s prompts. MidJourney is good at adapting to the actual artistic style and creating images with any combination of effects that users want. It is good at environmental effects, especially fantasy and science fiction scenes, which look like the artistic effects of games.

DALL-E 2 uses millions of image data for training, and its output results are more mature, which is very suitable for enterprises to use. When there are more than two characters, the image generated by DALL-E 2 is much better than that generated by Midjourney or Stable Diffusion.

Midjourney is a tool famous for its artistic style. Midjourney uses its Discord robot to send and receive requests for AI servers, and almost everything happens on Discord. The resulting image rarely looks like a photo, it seems to be more like a painting.

Stable Diffusion is an open source model that everyone can use. It has a good understanding of contemporary art images and can produce works of art full of details. However, it needs to explain the complex prompt. Stable Diffusion is more suitable for generating complex and creative illustrations. However, there are some shortcomings in creating general images.
