The "unlimited price" for a single plot of high-quality land in Beijing has gradually started. After only half a month, Beijing once again auctioned a single plot of land exceeding 10 billion yuan. On December 12, the Wanquan Temple plot outside the southwest second ring road of Fengtai, Beijing was acquired by Zhonghai for 11.054 billion yuan. So far, the total number of land auctions in Beijing has reached 40 this year, and the total amount of land transfer fees has exceeded 150 billion yuan. It is worth mentioning that the future commercial housing sales of this plot are not limited. The industry unanimously believes that the cancellation of the double limit of land price and house price shows that the one with the highest price is becoming a new trend of high-quality land auction in Beijing, and on the other hand, it is a powerful performance of returning the property market to the market.

At present, the ability of artificial intelligence is comparable to that of human brain in many aspects, but it cannot accurately distinguish right from wrong in terms of value. This means that it is necessary to strengthen the supervision and regulation of artificial intelligence from many aspects. In recent years, many countries, including China, have introduced artificial intelligence development plans, management methods and supervision principles, precisely to ensure that technology truly serves people and benefits society. No matter how far artificial intelligence develops, it all comes from human design and is an extension of human wisdom. Artificial intelligence is doing more and more work and becoming more and more intelligent. We must take precautions to ensure that it is always a "friend".Guotai Junan: It is expected that the lithium price will fluctuate in the bottom range in 2025, and there is a strong opportunity and space for rebound. Guotai Junan Securities recently reported that the lithium price has entered the bottom range by the end of 2024. If the demand maintains the current neutral estimate in 2025, the lithium price will fluctuate in the bottom range. At present, the market is optimistic about the demand in 2025, and the industry supply has slowed down. It is estimated that the price trend of lithium will fluctuate in the bottom range in 2025, in which the stage is affected by seasonal factors and there is a strong rebound opportunity and space. The market expected the trading of lithium plate earlier, that is, when the commodity price bottomed out, the lithium plate already contained the expectation of industrial clearing. When the industry actually enters the stage of supply and clearing, the sector will trade commodity price reversal expectations. From this, we infer that the rise of lithium plate will start before the spot price reverses.
