72-hour direct delivery from origin to Chengdu Hema launches Xinjiang Fruit Festival in Chengdu

It is the peak season for fruit sales. Recently, the reporter learned from Hema that Xinjiang fruits are in the season of mass listing. Plums, cantaloupe, winter dates, Xizhou honeydew melons, seedless grapes, etc. have been listed in Hema one after another, and are welcomed by many consumers. From August 9, more than 6,600 tons of fresh Xinjiang fruits will be launched in Hema stores nationwide, as well as various Xinjiang-style delicacies such as spicy skin, baked buns, and mutton pilaf. Zhang Chao, a fruit purchaser at Hema Chengdu, introduced that in order to cater to the love of Chengdu citizens for Xinjiang fruits, Hema purchased nearly 20 kinds of fruits from the origin of Xinjiang through direct purchase from the base, traveling nearly 3,000 kilometers to Chengdu, and the whole journey did not exceed 72 hours. He also revealed that during the Xinjiang fruit period, the Xinjiang fruit category was four times more than usual, and sales were expected to increase by 1.5 times.

Comments:Retail is a slow business with low gross margins. What merchants need to do is to accurately match resources across regions. Xinjiang specialties are everywhere. Compared with traditional supermarkets, Hema's advantage lies in the huge supply chain direct procurement system behind it and the concept of continuous improvement of operating costs, so that everything from product selection to product packaging conforms to the overall strategy of reducing costs and increasing efficiency, thus bringing the most affordable Xinjiang fruits and delicacies to consumers. This move also shows that the basic rules of retail have returned, and supermarkets that focus on doing one thing well can better dance with this era.

Lei Jun: Xiaomi's international flagship device will be connected to Google Gemini AI model

Recently, Lei Jun, founder of Xiaomi, announced on social media that the international version of Xiaomi's flagship device will integrate Google's AI model Google Gemini, aiming to provide a smarter and more intuitive user experience. Google Gemini is an advanced multimodal AI model developed by Google that can recognize, understand and process multiple types of information.

Comments:It is not surprising that Xiaomi is connecting with Google's big model. Compared with OpenAI and Google, Xiaomi does have a certain gap. If Xiaomi develops its own big model, it will be a little slow in time. In addition, all-in cars also make Xiaomi unable to devote more energy. At present, Xiaomi's overseas market sales account for a relatively high proportion. Although the cooperation between Xiaomi and Google Cloud and Google Gemini is limited to the international market, it is also very important to Xiaomi. As for the future application of Xiaomi's big model in China, whether it is self-developed or using third-party services, it is still worth looking forward to.

Completely abandon LCD! OLED version of iPad Air will be released in 2026

Apple reportedly plans to launch a new iPad Air model with an OLED display in 2026, and will no longer use an LCD screen. Compared with LCD screens, OLED screens are thinner, lighter, more colorful, have higher contrast, consume less power, have faster screen response time, and have almost no ghosting. There is no viewing angle problem, and the picture remains undistorted even when viewed from a large viewing angle. In terms of screen suppliers, Apple will choose Samsung as the main supplier of OLED panels for the new iPad Air. Currently, Samsung produces about 135,000 OLED panels per month for the iPhone and iPad Pro, while LG Display only produces 15,000 for the iPad Pro and 45,000 for the iPhone per month, with a significant gap in production capacity. In addition, unlike the dual-stack LTPO display of the M4 iPad Pro, the iPad Air is expected to use a single-stack LTPS display.

Comments:The biggest problem with large-size OLED panels is still peak brightness and durability, which has not been a breakthrough in the TV industry for many years, but has been almost solved for small-size mobile phone screens. The iPad Pro product line has verified the feasibility of OLED in tablets. If the cost can be controlled and the price of iPad Air is not further increased, the OLED iPad Air will still be attractive.

Yu Chengdong "exposed" Huawei's three-fold screen mobile phone, which may be launched this year

Today, many digital bloggers posted photos of Huawei's executive director Richard Yu operating a new phone in the cabin on social platforms. The photo shows Richard Yu holding a new phone with a three-folding screen. Since the beginning of this year, there have been constant reports that Huawei will launch a "three-folding screen phone". Earlier reports said that Huawei has begun to stock up on a large scale for three-folding screen phones.

Comments:This will be the world's first tri-fold phone, opening a new chapter in the form of mobile phones. The most important thing about a folding screen is the reliability of the hinge. The tri-fold has two hinges, which means that its failure rate is twice that of an ordinary folding screen. If Huawei wants to achieve mass production, it must invest more energy and cost in the core hinge, screen and body strength.
