①Cai Zhuyuan: Materials give space emotion and expression
Materials are very important in space and architecture. Materials give space a lot of expression or connotation. All the skeletons we build are related to materials, and the feeling we want to express depends on the materials we use. But in many cases, the relationship between design and materials seems to be the relationship between material dealers and designers. Many times designers learn about materials through material dealers, instead of digging into the nature of materials themselves.
If wood, stone, or stainless steel is used in a space, the texture of the entire space will be different. As long as the material changes, the feeling of the entire thinking, including the feeling of expressing the space, will be different. Therefore, the material directly affects the properties of the entire space and the emotion of the space for us.

②Lin Xiaofa: Strengthen live broadcast awareness and turn live broadcast into a technical feast rather than low-price sales
In live sales, what consumers value more is your technology, quality, service and product cost-effectiveness, that is, whether the product price matches the technology, not just the low price. We must strengthen our awareness of live broadcasting. If notStrengthen, your company is waiting, other companies are selling, and the company's competitive advantage will decline.
In the past, live broadcasts focused more on prices. E-commerce live broadcasts are not about price reductions, but about turning the themed event of "Technological Power, Responsible for National Trends" into a technological feast, using the immersive live broadcast scene to interact with consumers. This means that consumers come to consume technology, not to consume low prices.
