For the global stock market next week, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas will provide a variety of "concepts" and "hot spots" that investors love to see in bulk. And judging from this year's situation, in addition to the participating companies, companies that did not come to the conference also had the intention of "stealing the limelight" either explicitly or implicitly.
"Exhibition" and "meeting" in the context of CES refer to those who come to Las Vegas to purchase a booth.
It is worth mentioning that although the CES exhibition will not open until Tuesday local time (corresponding to Wednesday Beijing time), manufacturers led by NVIDIA still chose to rush ahead of schedule, so the actual opening time of the "Technology Spring Festival Gala" has already been advanced.
Note: The current difference between North American Pacific Time (PT) and Beijing time is 14 hours

In addition to the latest electric vehicles and hydrogen energy solutions from Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Hyundai and other manufacturers, according to the official introduction of CES, there are also a number of "flying cars" this year - including Xpeng (Xpeng Huitian/HT Flying Car), which is familiar to Chinese investors.

In addition to the companies participating in the exhibition, there are two companies that did not participate in the exhibition this year and received special attention——
According to market rumors, Apple’s Vision Pro may be launched in the time window of the end of January. Although Apple will not appear at CES, well-known companies such as Meta, HTC, Magic Leap, and a large number of AR/VR startups will showcase their latest products and technologies next week. The market is also paying close attention to how much improvement Qualcomm's latest VR chip can bring.
Not long before this article was published, well-known technology writer Mark Gurman wrote in the latest Technology Weekly: VisionPro has now begun to be shipped in small batches to warehouses across the United States and will be distributed to Apple retail stores. Gurman expected,
Before this week, the market generally believed that Apple would be the company that would most "steal the limelight of CES", but now it seems that OpenAI is also competing.

Due to factors such as the epidemic, the number of Chinese companies and visitors from China at CES last year was only about one-fifth of what it was three years ago, but this year the situation will change significantly.
Although the specific number of visitors will not be announced until after the meeting, the number of exhibitors has actually "rebounded violently."
What’s even more interesting is that the vast majority of the thousands of Chinese companies are startups and small and micro enterprises, and many companies will appear at EurekaPark’s booths reserved for startups. Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu, and NetEase, which investors are very familiar with, are not on the list of exhibitors. However, last month it was rumored that China's "newest Internet brother" ByteDance, whose "revenue exceeds Tencent", will lead TikTok to appear on the stage in Las Vegas.
