小米料付運量倍增 衝出大中華
中國手機商小米訂下今年付運量增長逾倍的目標,又積極拓展大中華地區以外的市場。 小米成立短短3年,一直氣勢如虹,近日旗下紅米手機甫推出,便於中港台等創下「秒殺」佳績,在內地以90秒速度售出10萬部,香港亦以36秒極速賣出1萬部,台灣的第4次網購活動更以54秒沽清2萬部,風頭可謂一時無兩。目標售4千萬部 連續兩年翻倍 與其他內地廠商一樣,小米手機同以價格低、規格高的配置打響名堂,去年售出1,870萬部,增長1.倉6倍,收入亦升1.5倍至316億人民幣(約405億港元)。董事長兼行政總裁雷軍豪言,今年已訂下4,000萬部的銷售目標;若達成的話,意味公司連續兩年銷量翻倍,甚至有望躋身中國三大廠商之列。傳推低價手機攻日 僅售387元 由於採用蘋果一樣的惜售策略,小米於內地的智能手機市場佔有率不高,惟公司志不在此,銳意發展海外市場,去年10月更從Google挖走Android產品管理副總裁巴拉(Hugo Barra),擔任全球副總裁一職,拓展國際業務。 小米今年密謀進軍東南亞,新加坡成為外闖首站,料馬來西亞及日本將是小米下個目標。據《日經亞洲24小時迷你倉論》報道,小米將於日本推出僅售50美元(約387港元)的手機。 巴拉更透露,公司已在大中華區以外的21個國家設立討論區,與各地粉絲進行互動,又坦言公司的任務是能夠影響世界。 小米於數年間極速冒起,又與蘋果(Apple)的企業文化相似,加上雷軍每次也穿上深色襯衫上台主持高級別產品的發布會,難怪外界均視他為中國喬布斯(Steve Jobs)。惟他強調公司是以微薄利潤出售手機,與蘋果奉行的宗旨不同,反而更似亞馬遜(Amazon),因兩者均是廉賣硬件,最終建立強大的軟件平台。借鏡美企 內地市佔曾超蘋果 盡管雷軍拒絕與蘋果比較,但小米於內地的實力已不遜於對方,去年第二季的內地市佔率一度超越蘋果,主因內地的中低檔手機市場正在高速增長,有利性價比極高的小米搶灘。 除了社交網絡的宣傳攻勢及口碑載譽等優勢,小米的成功之道,亦是有賴效法Google及蘋果的經驗。首先,從Google身上,小米學會採用開放式操作平台,允許全球網民下載到電腦,毋須擁有小米手機亦可體驗其操作介面;其次,從蘋果身上則學會了品牌營銷策略,讓用戶直接參與操作系統的新功能和升級研發工作。迷你倉旺角

黑幫入侵變烏煙瘴氣
迷你倉夜蒲熱點「蘭桂坊」國際知名,深受中外人士及遊客歡迎,惟近年有黑幫入侵,醉酒打架已屬平常事,更有各國妓女進駐,區內變得烏煙瘴氣,對於警方前日掃蕩妓女行動,有區議員希望警方作針對性持續打擊,以保其旅遊景點美譽。蘭桂坊內有大小酒吧、俱樂部、餐廳與零售商鋪,屬中高檔消費區,是香港特色旅遊景點之一,更獲得中國十大主流媒體合辦「網友最喜愛的香港品牌評選」之「我最喜愛的香港蒲點」三甲。不過,近年有黑self storage入侵,衍生黃、毒、偷搶與爭地盤等治安問題,區內變得品流複雜,賣淫活動同樣精采,常有各國妓女,甚至男妓出動,三五成群出動兜搭遊客,相信他們背後有黑社會操控。有區議員表示,蘭桂坊是本港著名旅遊景點,吸引不少中外旅客到來,於今變得烏煙瘴氣,黃毒黑問題不絕,更有「黑的黨」肆意�客,令東方之珠美譽蒙羞,雖然警方不時展開行動取締,但不能長治久安,應作出持續針對性打擊,以保其特色旅遊景點美譽。本報記者迷利倉

全國版) - (去年團購成交額同比增長68%
南方日報訊 (記者/歐志葵)團購在移動互聯網快速發展下迎來了又一次的爆發。記者日前從團購導航網站團800發佈的《2013年中國團購市場統計報告》中獲悉,2013年團購成交額達到358.儲存倉8億元,同比淨增144.9億元,增幅達67.7%;購買人次達到6億人次,同比淨增1.5億人次,增幅達32.5%;在售團單的數量也進一步擴大,全年共計571.5萬期,同比淨增321.6萬單,增幅將近1.3倍。據統計,2013年團購平均客單價已經從上年的46.9元提升至59.4元,而手機團購占團購網站的份額也已達到50%左右。據團800統計,2013年排名前五的團購網站成交額達到33迷你倉最平.1億元,占總體的95.7%,其中排名前兩位的美團和點評更是占到全年整體的66.3%。在團800最新一輪團購網站存活數量普查數據中,截止到2014年1月,全國團購網站的數量僅為213家,較9月份減少281家,其中綜合服務類網站約71家,網購/非本地服務類約88家,垂直細網站為54家。美團和大�點評團月度成交額均在10億元以上,形成第一陣營,糯米、窩窩、拉手在月度成交額3億-4億元的區間廝殺。專家分析,以BAT為首的互聯網巨頭的湧入,團購網站背後的資源優勢將會成為新的決定因素。在新的一年,背靠巨頭的團購網站將會獲得更大的發展,中小型團購平台的生存空間將會受到擠壓。迷你倉

陽江:“幸福追趕” 的粵西樣本
文件倉 本報記者 張建軍 通訊員 馮兆發廣東省統計局近日公佈的 《建設幸福廣東指標體系客觀指標評價報告》 顯示, 陽江客觀幸福指數在粵東西北地區位列第一。與此同時, 2013年陽江人均生產總值也在粵東西北地區中率先超過全國平均水平——產業園區成工業化高地陽江提出 “在加快發展中轉變方式、 實現幸福追趕” 的發展目標,並確定工業化與城鎮化驅動、 藍色崛起、 融入珠三角三大發展戰略冬日的南海之濱, 暖流湧動。在陽江市陽東縣東平鎮新修的漁港長廊邊,一排排高樓拔地而起, 顯示出濃濃的商業氣息。“我們是本地的漁民, 正是看中了東平的商機, 才建起了這棟樓做賓館,平時生意還不錯。” 大角灣賓館的主人袁美蘭掩飾不住自己的笑容。在這個小鎮上, 全國規模最大核電站——中廣核陽江核電站的建設如火如荼。隨著陽江核電站的加快建設, 東平逐漸從一個傳統漁業小鎮變身為一個新能源工業、 海洋漁業、 濱海旅遊業綜合發展的中心鎮。在東平鎮, 目前除了陽江核電站, 規劃和在建的能源項目還有華能風力發電、 海浪發電、 天然氣發電等, 這些項目總裝機容量1100萬千瓦, 建成後年發電量近500億千瓦時, 將成為廣東省清潔能源基地。東平是陽江近年來工業化與城鎮化提速的一個縮影。作為廣東欠發達地區之一, 陽江近年來提出 “在加快發展中轉變方式、 實現幸福追趕” 的發展目標, 並在2013年明確為工業化與城鎮化驅動、 藍色崛起、 融入珠三角三大發展戰略。陽江市委書記魏宏廣認為:“陽江的落後主要是工業發展滯後, 要實現幸福追趕, 必須走工業化、 城鎮化同步發展的道路。” 為此, 該市將依托陽江核電、 廣青鎳合金、 明軒玻璃、 海螺水泥等重大項目, 推動工業適度重型化, 加大招商引資力度, 加快五金刀剪、 食品加工等傳統產業轉型升級步伐。中心城區擴容提質陽江濱海新區將打造成中國濱海文化旅遊度假目的地、 廣東沿海臨港工業重要基地、 粵西對接珠三角首要門戶和江海交匯生態宜居新城“再過幾年, 這裡將會是一個現代化的海濱大城市, 我們的生意將會更好。”站在陽江海陵島閘坡的海濱大道, 指著無垠的南海, 陝西商人李士林顯得很激動, 他在此經營旅館已有5年。2013年12月, 廣東省召開省政府常務會議, 審議並原則通過 《廣東陽江濱海新區發展總體規劃 (2013年—2030年)》,將努力把陽江濱海新區打造成中國濱海文化旅遊度假目的地、 廣東沿海臨港工業重要基地、 粵西對接珠三角首要門戶、 江海交匯生態宜居新城四位一體的濱海新區。作為廣東省振興粵東西北的重大舉措,廣東近年來加快欠發達地區中心城市主城區的 “擴容提質”, 以此來推動城鎮化進程。陽江市市長丘志勇說,“我們長期以來 ‘重陸輕海’, 表現在城市建設方面, 一直是向北、 向東延伸, 導致了地處沿海而城區漸離海邊。現在, 市委、 市政府將大力實施陽江中心城區向南、 向海發展的重大戰略舉措,向海洋要資源、 要環境、 要空間。”以海興產促藍色崛起陽江積極實施藍色崛起戰略, 一大批臨港工業項目正蓬勃興起, 為陽江的 “幸福追趕”提供了強大動力向海靠近, 以海興產。陽江吹響了向海洋進軍的集結號。陽江的海域面積達到1.23萬平方公里, 20米等深線以淺的淺海和灘塗面積1624平方公里, 是國內海洋資源豐富的海洋大市, 陽江提出力爭打造全省最具特色的海洋產業基地。陽江還緊抓該市被確定為廣東省海洋綜合開發試點市的契機, 積極實施藍色崛起戰略。以高新區、 海洋經濟特色產業基地等重大發展平台為依托, 陽江著力打造全國最大的鎳合金生產基地; 以陽江核電、 陽西火電、 各大風電項目等清潔能源為龍頭, 打造廣東電力能源基地; 以山河遊艇等一批製造業為依托, 建設廣東省重要裝備製造業基地。同時, 大力發展LED照明、 生物醫藥、海洋工程、 精細化工等新興產業項目,不斷完善現代臨海臨港工業體系。一大批臨港工業項目正蓬勃興起,為陽江的 “幸福追趕” 提供了強大動力。2013年3月, 陽江高新區與包頭市鑫星鐵合金化工有限公司簽訂了鎳合金項目投資框架協議。這一項目是繼廣青、 世紀青山投產之後, 高新區的第三個大型鎳合金項目, 計劃建設4條生產線, 投產後年產值將達50億元。據悉, 該項目投產後, 陽江高新區鎳合金年產值將高達約130億元, 高新區也將成為全國最大的鎳合金生產基地。2012年, 陽江海洋經濟生產總值250億元, 占全市GDP的26%。預計到2015年, 全市海洋經濟生產總值將超過500億元, 占地區生產總值40%左右。存倉

自主知識產權操作系統 COS 發佈
self storage表明國內企業已具備研發智能操作系統能力本報北京1月19日訊 記者譚辛報道:中國科學院軟件研究所近日與上海聯彤網絡通訊技術有限公司在京聯合發佈具有自主知識產權的操作系統COS (China Operating Systerm)。中國科學院軟件研究所所長李明樹表示,這意味著在全球操作系統市場被微軟、蘋果和穀歌壟斷的情況下,國內企業已經具備了研發完全自主獨立、支持完整產業鏈的智能操作系統能力。據負責該操作系統研發的中科院方負責人武延軍介紹,COS是我國自主知識產權的操作系統。它不同于部分嫁接于其他操作系統之上的產品,雖然也吸取了開源軟件Linux的精華,但從底層代碼到用戶界面構建完全是獨立演進的。“雖然起步較晚,但是起點更高、戰略布局也更寬廣,同時也更加適合中國國情,對國內廠商的迷你倉持也更完美。”武延軍說。據介紹,COS 最大的特點是安全。COS 使用的國家核高基的成果,修復了�多內核漏洞。同時,在COS 設備上安裝應用程序只能通過唯一的應用商店,COS對上架應用商店的應用進行嚴格審核。“COS 可以提供相比安卓等同類操作系統更安全的應用環境。”武延軍說。同時,COS 系統深度支持跨平台的 HTML5 網絡應 用,以及加載第三方的虛擬機運行Java應用程序。據悉,使用國家核高基成果的COS 操作系統是一次“產、學、研、用”模式的研發探索。“COS將應用于個人電腦、智能掌上終端、機頂盒、智能家電等領域。目前,安裝COS的機頂盒已經量產,安裝COS的智能手機通過了國內3大運營商的測試。”上海聯彤CEO白逸民表示,帶有COS系統的手機將於今年下半年正式投入市場。迷你倉將軍澳

OpenRay手記:4K揚威CES
倉 在今屆美國的CES消費電子展中,4K電視和4K屏幕是其中一個亮點。從用戶角度看,普通全高清電視的解像度已經十分理想,未必有需要轉用4K電視。然而,從製造商的角度看,在過去幾年,3D電視沒有掀起熱潮,未能引發用戶的換機潮。要吸引用戶購買新產品,便必須推出一些新科技,讓用戶有藉口換機。4K超高清電視的出現,正好可以滿足影音發燒友的需求。如果你曾經到電器店看4K示範,一定感受到4K超高解像的震撼。不過,當解像度高到某一個水平,便可能超過實際需要了。例如由DVD轉看高清電視,你會感到明顯的分別。以往看遠鏡的人頭,未必能看清楚面容。但轉看高清電視後,大特寫鏡頭連主角的暗瘡也看得到。主角們都要改化「高清妝」來遮瑕,我實在不想用4K把這些面部瑕疵再看清一點,因此4K電視對我來說,暫時吸引力不大。在CES電子展上,除了4K電視外,4K電腦顯示屏也是一個焦點。對設計師或電腦編程人員而言,電腦屏幕的解像度當然是愈高愈好。4K的畫數是普通Full HD的4倍,用於繪圖設計上,可以看到更多細節。若用於電腦編程,由於屏幕夠大,編程人員可以同一時間查看程式碼和結果,可大大提升工作效率。目前一台32吋的4K電腦顯示屏約售30,000元,十分昂貴。若用於電腦編程,把4部19吋電腦屏幕併合起來,成本也不過是3,000多元,是4K顯示屏的十分之一價錢。由此可見,4K屏幕要具競爭力,尚需要很大的降價空間。電郵:ray@openrice.com鍾偉民(Ray).飲食網站創辦人24小時迷你倉

臺灣
迷你倉 晶片大廠英特爾17日宣布,計劃今年在全球裁員約5%。該公司正面臨個人電腦(PC)銷售下滑的窘境,要把重心轉往成長較快的領域。英特爾2013年底員工數達10萬7,600人,意味這次計畫可能裁掉約5,400名員工。英特爾發言人克勞特(Chris Kraeuter)表示,這是整頓人力資源以滿足業務需求的一部分,這次裁員計畫包含退休、自願離職與其他選項在內,且英特爾每年全球人力折損規模約4%。執行長柯森尼奇正帶領英特爾轉攻可穿戴裝置、智慧手機與平板電腦等晶片。該公司在16日的法說會中,已暗示計劃要調整員工職位,並縮編整體人力。更早以前,英特爾預估,今年第1季的整頓費用達2億美元,其中可能預留一部分作為資遣費。英特爾並非唯一因應PC需求減少而裁員的科技公司。惠普(HP)正在進行為期數年的內部整頓,至2014年度裁員數將達3.4萬人,相當於總人力的11%。英特爾台灣企業行銷部公關經理邱雅欣表示,5%精簡人力計畫並非按等比例,也沒有對特定國家和地區細分,對台灣的影響尚無法評估,不過台灣的業務一直是英特爾的重點發展,包括平板電腦、資料中心、物聯網、軟體服務的業務和行銷等方向。她表示,目前精減員工的計畫分四方向,包括屆齡退休或優退、遇缺不補、自願離職計劃以及內部轉職。針對內部轉職,員工可以透過內部網站,看那些部門有職缺,或是去外面找工作。mini storage
