Train drivers union GDL resolves industrial action at the railway

Status: 23.06.2021 12:54 p.m.

With the beginning of the summer holidays in some federal states, rail passengers have to be prepared for strikes. The train drivers’ union GDL decided a labor dispute. The GDL intends to announce tomorrow exactly how it should look. At Deutsche Bahn, train driver strikes in the middle of the holiday season are getting closer. The union of German locomotive drivers (GDL) decided on concrete industrial action after failed negotiations with the employers’ association Move. GDL boss Claus Weselsky will not announce the exact scope and time of possible work stoppages until Thursday at a press conference in Berlin. According to the GDL, the corresponding committee resolutions are available. A railway spokeswoman asked the union to return to the negotiating table. There are well-founded offers for more wages and additional protection against dismissal on the table, about which the GDL top has so far refused serious negotiations.

First warning strike since December 2018

Immediately before the start of the school holidays in several federal states, the union is increasing the pressure on the management of the railway. The GDL declared the negotiations to have failed last Tuesday. It is the first warning strike on the railways since December 2018, when the Railway and Transport Union (EVG) called on its members to take part in a labor dispute. Both unions are fighting with each other for influence in the state company. The EVG had already reached a collective agreement last autumn. From the beginning of 2022, employees will receive 1.5 percent more money – little compared to collective bargaining rounds in better times. Compulsory redundancies are excluded until the end of 2023.

GDL wants more

The GDL wants to get more out of money and working hours. Both sides had moved somewhat towards each other before the failure of the negotiations. Based on the collective bargaining agreement for the public service, the GDL is calling for an income increase of 1.4 percent plus a corona bonus this year and a further 1.8 percent next year. The employees deserved more than compensation for the price increase, argues Weselsky.

According to its own statements, Deutsche Bahn had proposed increases in incomes as in the public sector, but in relation to the airport sector. An “emergency collective agreement” had been concluded for airports because of the slump in traffic. The 1.4 percent increase in income there will only be in October 2022, the other 1.8 percent not until April 2023. Employers will also have the option of reducing working hours by six percent in 2022. The level of the collective agreement for the public service is to be reached in October 2023

Heil is promoting training bonuses There should be no “Corona vintage”

Status: 06/22/2021 05:07

The second year of training since the beginning of the corona pandemic begins in September. The federal government supports training companies with training bonuses, but Labor Minister Heil is still worried about a corona kink on the apprenticeship market. Federal Labor Minister Hubertus Heil sees the German training market facing a critical phase after months of the pandemic. The number of apprenticeships like applicants had already decreased last year, said the minister. Figures from the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training prove this. The test comes this summer, “Heil told the Funke media group. “We are currently fighting the clock as the training year begins on September 1st.” It is clear: “We are not allowed to allow a Corona class in training.”

6000 euros bonus per apprenticeship position

Many companies were hesitant at the moment because they believed they could not afford apprentices at the moment. Heil called on companies to make greater use of state support offers such as the training bonus. The bonus has been approved for almost 40,000 training positions since last summer.

Heil pointed out that the new protective umbrella for training has been in place since the beginning of June. The premium was also doubled in March. Companies affected by a pandemic that keep their training quota have been receiving EUR 4,000 per apprenticeship position since the beginning of June, and EUR 6,000 for new trainee positions.

According to the Federal Ministry of Labor, the program has a total volume of 410 million euros for the current year. By mid-June, around 88 million euros, almost a fifth, had been paid out

Analysis of the WWF Is grilled meat too cheap?

Status: 06/18/2021 2:22 p.m.

At the beginning of the barbecue season, supermarkets attract with low meat prices. A study the environmental organization WWF shows that meat substitutes are much more expensive. That has consequences for the environment. In order to benefit from the current barbecue season, supermarkets lure customers with savings and discount offers on barbecue products. An analysis by the environmental protection organization WWF now shows that the majority of grilled meat in German supermarkets is much cheaper than meat substitute products. Between the end of April and the end of May, the WWF examined 922 grilled meat offers in the advertising brochures of eight German supermarket chains. On average, 85 percent of the discounted grilled meat was cheaper than vegetable alternatives. In addition, grilled meat products are advertised almost 30 times more often than meat substitute products. In addition, according to the analysis, very few products come from higher forms of husbandry. Only two percent of the discount products were of organic quality; for many, the origin was not even shown.

“Amazon is being sold off”

Tanja Dräger de Teran is a nutritionist at WWF. She criticizes the fact that the masses of cheap meat are at the expense of the environment. In order for meat to be sold so cheaply, cattle must be kept en masse and animal feed such as soy must be imported from South America. That heats up the climate and destroys valuable habitats: “The Amazon is sold off with cheap meat.” Around 96 percent of the soya-growing area would be needed for animal feed and only four percent for plant-based foods.

A study by the Federal Environment Agency (UBA) from 2020 also shows the significantly better ecological balance of plant products. Compared to beef, the production of vegetable substitute products would in some cases produce less than a tenth of the greenhouse gases. The water and land consumption is also many times lower, since plants such as wheat and soy are not only used as animal feed, but rather land directly on the plate, so to speak.

Reduce factory farming

UBA President Dirk Messner called for meat consumption to be halved in the newspapers of the Funke Mediengruppe a few weeks ago: “We have to reduce factory farming so that excessive nitrogen inputs are reduced and soils, water, biodiversity and human health are less polluted.” The World Health Organization (WHO) also warns against consuming too much meat.

Because in addition to the environmental aspects, according to experts, there are also health reasons for reducing meat consumption. For a healthy and sustainable diet, experts recommend not eating meat every day. An adult should not eat more than 300 to 600 grams of meat and sausage per week. That is significantly less than is generally consumed in this country.

Still too much meat consumption

Although meat consumption in Germany tends to decline slowly, in 2020 it was still a little more than 57 kilos per person. In 2000, the annual consumption was over 61 kilos. However, according to the WWF, this is roughly double the consumption in the 1950s.

Messner had already stated in 2020: “As long as the price of the food does not also reflect the environmental damage, the cheap neck steak will be preferred to a soy schnitzel for a long time to come.”

High development costs for meat substitutes

There are reasons for the price differences: Antje Risius is researching sustainable eating styles at the University of Göttingen. She explains the striking price differences by the fact that meat is an established product on the market, while substitute products are still “newcomers”. “The meat market has an unbelievable competitive advantage because the structures are already established there. Production can take place at a completely different level, efficiently and structurally at very reasonable prices.”

Because they are mostly still in the development phase, replacement products would still have relatively high investment costs. In addition, they are often very heavily processed – and the many intermediate processing steps are also expensive, says Risius.

Cheap meat and the social question

The WWF warns that the price imbalance between meat and meat substitute products is causing many people to resort to meat for reasons of cost. Dräger de Teran demands that sustainable nutrition should not remain a social issue. “We have to get to the point where the simple choice is the good, healthy and sustainable choice. And we are still a long way from that.”

Almut Jering from the UBA has observed, however, that a growing range of meat and milk substitute products in supermarkets is attracting more and more people’s interest, despite the often higher prices. Recently, the number of people who followed a vegetarian or vegan diet has increased significantly. “I think there is some social progress going on.”

Meanwhile, the WWF sees politics and business as having a greater responsibility. The organization is demanding a steering tax based on sustainability criteria on food of animal origin from the next federal government, which is less of a burden on products from organic agriculture. Retailers need a change in pricing policy: For example, discounts should no longer be given on meat and sausage products, except shortly before the use-by date

Pandemic meets craft Hairdressers suffer – bicycle workshops cheer

Status: 11.06.2021 2:38 p.m.

The German trade clearly felt the consequences of the pandemic at the beginning of the year. Most of the sales fell. But there were also a few bright spots. The corona crisis has left deep marks on German craftsmanship. Some areas suffered particularly badly at the beginning of the year, while others bucked the trend and even posted gains. According to calculations by the Federal Statistical Office, sales in the craft sector fell from January to March by 7.5 percent compared to the same period of the previous year. That was the first time in eight years that the industry, which had been spoiled for success for a long time, posted declines. The weak development was accompanied by fewer staff. The number of employees in the skilled trades that required a license fell by 1.7 percent by the end of March.

The comparative period was hardly affected by the crisis

It should be noted that restrictions due to the corona pandemic did not begin until the end of the first quarter of 2020 and the results of the beginning of 2020 were hardly affected, the statisticians explained. There is thus a typical case of a so-called base effect. A high baseline makes declines more likely at a later point in time.

Lockdown slows demand

Crafts for private use were particularly hard hit. Here the minus was 23 percent. In this area, the hairdressing businesses marked the highest decline with minus 37 percent.

Not enough material

In construction, too, with a decline of almost 16 percent, things did not go well. “Companies have to register short-time working when the order books are full because they have no material,” the President of the Central Association of German Crafts (ZDH), Hans Peter Wollseifer, had only recently warned. The Prices for wood and other building materials have risen sharply on the world market, partly because of the great demand from China and the USA. While the food industry complained about a decline of almost ten percent, the business in confectioneries collapsed by 21 percent.

The bicycle boom drives business

The ongoing bicycle boom apparently brought the two-wheel mechanics significantly more repairs. These branches of industry achieved almost 27 percent more sales than a year ago. In addition, only roller shutter technicians and dental technicians recorded an increase in sales.

Corona protection in companies Are employers allowed to force vaccination?

Status: 08.06.2021 7:13 p.m.

Since the beginning of the week, company doctors have also been able to vaccinate against Covid-19. But what about legally? Can companies require their staff to be vaccinated? And are they allowed to grant privileges to those who have been vaccinated? From Jens Eberl, WDR The companies have a great interest in preventing infections with the coronavirus and sick leave. This is why many employers want their employees to be vaccinated. With the start of vaccinations by the company doctors, various legal issues between employers and employees come to the fore. An overview.

Can the employer oblige his staff to vaccinate?

Employees only need to be vaccinated if there is a legal obligation to do so. There is no statutory vaccination requirement with Covid-19. “However, special features apply in facilities such as hospitals, prevention or rehabilitation facilities and medical practices,” says the Brühl-based specialist lawyer for labor law, Michael Felser. “They must ensure that all measures required by the state of the art of medical science are taken there to prevent infections and the spread of pathogens. Curiously, however, this does not apply in care facilities for the elderly, although the problem here is likely to be comparable”, so Felser. In the health care facilities mentioned, the employer cannot force employees to vaccinate either. However, he must ensure that non-vaccinated people pose no risk to patients. Patient protection can therefore make it necessary that non-vaccinated people can no longer work in certain areas.

Do employees have to inform the employer about their vaccination status?

Actually, there is no obligation to provide information about the personal vaccination status to the employer. However, the Gelsenkirchen labor lawyer Arndt Kempgens emphasizes that companies have to take corona protective measures for their employees. But they could only do that if the corona vaccination status was known. Kempgens concludes from this that in connection with Corona, under labor law – as an exception – there could be an obligation on the part of employees to notify the vaccination status and, under certain circumstances, to prove it.

Are vaccination incentives such as bonus payments from the employer permitted?

Employers could pay a “vaccination bonus”, for example through a one-off sum of money, vouchers or extra vacation days. Lawyer Felser says: “This is not entirely uncritical, because rewards can exert undue pressure not to exercise one’s rights. For example, courts have only declared rewards for employees who rarely get sick to be admissible under strict conditions.” The trade unions consider incentives for those willing to vaccinate to be permissible. However, they have a say in any case, as such a bonus is subject to co-determination. Kempgens emphasizes, however, that it must be fair: “There must not only be a bonus for those who don’t like vaccinations as an incentive to vaccinate, but if so, then for everyone.”

Can the employer exert “vaccination pressure”? Can the staff defend themselves against this?

If there is no statutory vaccination requirement, the employer cannot exert any pressure, neither with instructions nor with threats such as transfer or even warnings and dismissal. Such measures would be illegal. However, attorney Kempgens reports: “We are currently hearing more and more of such cases in legal practice. Pressure is exerted to convince those unwilling to vaccinate.” In extreme cases, employees can even defend themselves against this with an action for an injunction before the labor courts.

Are professional disadvantages possible if you don’t get vaccinated?

If there is no compulsory vaccination, the employer cannot differentiate according to whether someone is vaccinated or not or whether they have not wanted to be vaccinated in the past, as long as there was no obligation to do so. In medical institutions, however, the employer can reject applicants if they are not vaccinated and do not want to be vaccinated. Lawyer Kempgens, however, restricts: “Unvaccinated employees require other protective measures in the company and also lead to disagreements among the employees. For this reason, non-vaccinated employees will certainly not be preferred in the company in the near future.”

Are employers allowed to distinguish between vaccinated and non-vaccinated people?

“In my opinion, they even have to,” says Kempgens. “As with official measures, labor law restrictions are more difficult to justify for vaccinated people, while labor law protective measures have to be stronger for non-vaccinated people.” Felser believes privileges are conceivable, such as the earlier return of vaccinated employees from the home office to the office or the use of communal facilities such as the canteen. However, the incentive or pressure from such preferences should not be disproportionate.

There are rumors that Ho Van Cuong’s salary is up to 30 million VND/show, but when SAOstar contacting a few famous shows in the entertainment world, all of them denied it and said that Ho Van Cuong was “attached” by Phi Nhung in each performance program so that his son could have more rubbing, if booked separately. Ho Van Cuong, the highest price is only about 10 million, but in fact, this young male singer is not too big a name to have such a salary. In the midst of this noise, some shows also revealed themselves SAOstar about Phuong My Chi’s real salary when there are too many rumors that Ho Van Cuong’s singing salary is equal to Runner-up The Voice Kids 2013. Phuong My Chi and Ho Van Cuong are two child vocalists who are loved by the audience Mr. Nguyen Van Phu – who has worked with many big names such as: Dam Vinh Hung, Thu Minh, Quang Le, Manh Quynh… said: “Phuong My Chi, I work through singer Quang Le’s manager, I used to call Phuong My Chi’s mother to work, but she told me to talk through Quang Le’s manager. Catse of this girl. sometimes the highest is 60 million, but normally it is about 50 million. I have worked with Phuong My Chi a lot, only the recent pause is due to the epidemic.” Next when SAOstar asked a question about Phuong My Chi’s salary when she first received the award Runner-up The Voice Kids 2013 Mr. Van Phu shared: “When Phuong My Chi just won The Voice Kids, she worked through Quang Le for only 30 million, later it increased to 35 million, 40 million and then to 50 million. That’s for sure.” As revealed, Phuong My Chi’s sand is about 50-60 million/show at the present time. SAOstar Continuing to discuss the sand issue of Phuong My Chi and Ho Van Cuong, Ms. Tuyet Hoang – another famous show in the world said: “Phuong My Chi a few years ago, she worked with this girl for 60 million, she has not worked with Phuong My Chi for a long time, so she did not ask the price manager.” Ms. Tuyet Hoang also expressed that Ho Van Cuong’s salary should not be compared with Phuong My Chi because this girl entered the profession earlier. If Ho Van Cuong sings separately, this show’s voter can only pay the sand price of 10 million, much different from Runner-up The Voice Kids 2013. The election show Hung Thu Autumn also talked about comparing the sands with Ho Van Cuong and Phuong My Chi that: Ho Van Cuong was actually sent by Phi Nhung, there are places I don’t even allow to sing with. As for the sands on my side, I never paid Cuong, only took care of the plane ticket. And Phuong My Chi was also sent by Quang Le before, but this baby’s name is not too big to be able to sell tickets.” Currently, the noise about Ho Van Cuong’s sand is still a question that many netizens are interested in after the family life controversy with singer Phi Nhung.

Protection of the world’s oceans Hope for the “Blue Economy”

As of: 06/08/2021 12:59 p.m.

The seas are at risk from climate change, pollution and overfishing. But gradually a rethink is also beginning in the economy – the protection of the oceans is recognized as a business. From Notker Blechner, tagesschau.de Sometimes an accident can lead to a complete change in life. For example with Emily Penn. The architect and passionate sailor had her aha experience on a boat trip from Great Britain to Australia. “One night all the passengers woke up to a loud bang,” she says. “Our ship had rammed a plastic mountain – in the middle of the ocean, away from any civilization.” Since then, Penn has been committed to protecting the oceans, giving lectures, organizing events and doing research expeditions to find solutions to the fight against the plastic flood in the oceans. Penn is known as the “advocate for the seas”.

Shoes, sunglasses and backpacks made from ocean trash

The marine activist is encouraged by increasing business initiatives against plastic waste pollution in the oceans. Several companies and start-ups have developed methods of making new products from marine litter. Adidas offers shoes and jerseys made from recycled “ocean plastic”. Other manufacturers are making new sunglasses, backpacks and skateboards out of marine plastic waste. Even the Dutchman Boyen Slat, founder of the start-up “Ocean Cleanup”, now sells sunglasses with frames made from recycled ocean plastic. “Ocean Cleanup” collects plastic waste on the open sea with ships. The Italian Giulio Bonazzi has managed to make a special fiber – Econyl – from old fishing nets, which is used for tights and bikinis. Bonazzi calculates that every ton of Econyl saves six tons of carbon dioxide.

Marketing gimmick?

Environmentalists warn against being misled. Products made from ocean plastic are often a marketing gimmick and misleading. In some of them there is hardly any plastic waste from the oceans, according to the WWF. Nevertheless: The fight against the mountains of plastic has now begun in business and politics. The G20 states have announced that they will ban plastic waste from the world’s oceans by 2050. It is currently estimated that around 13 million tons of plastic waste end up in the oceans every year.

14 coastal countries are leading the way in marine protection

The pictures of polluted beaches after tankers leaked like now back in Sri Lanka show how important global marine protection is. A total of 14 countries, including Australia, Canada, Japan, Indonesia, Mexico and Norway, have come together in a kind of “Ocean Panel” and have committed to sustainably managing their national waters in the future. “For too long we have made the wrong choice between marine protection and production,” admits Norway’s Prime Minister Erna Solberg, co-head of the Ocean Panel.

Danger to the species: A sea turtle that has become entangled in a drifting net. Image: picture alliance / AP Photo According to a study that was published in the journal “Nature” at the end of March, hundreds of millions of CO2 could be saved through marine protection. So far, not even three percent of the world’s oceans have been strictly protected. The study’s authors see the greatest potential in restricting bottom trawling. This controversial fishing method involves ships pulling a net across the ocean floor. The living beings on the ground are destroyed, plants are uprooted and spawning grounds for fish are destroyed. In addition, the agitation of the seabed releases organic carbon compounds and converts them into climate-damaging CO2.

Great potential for CO2 savings

The Ocean Panel has proposed several measures to promote marine and climate protection: In addition to carbon storage in the seabed, the panel recommends sustainable fishing and aquaculture, the expansion of offshore energy in the sea and ocean-compatible transport. According to calculations, this could reduce carbon dioxide emissions by a fifth, trigger investments of over 15 trillion dollars and create 12 million new jobs. Indeed, there is a gradual rethinking of the maritime economy. The International Maritime Organization has mandated stricter sulfur emissions values ​​in 2020. Instead of using heavy fuel oil, the ships now have to run on marine diesel. The only exception: ships with so-called scrubber exhaust gas cleaning systems are still allowed to use heavy fuel oil. Over 350 container and cruise ships as well as tankers have switched to liquefied natural gas (LNG). LNG contains no sulfur, hardly any nitrogen oxides and 20 percent less CO2. However, the greenhouse gas methane allegedly escapes. “The liquefied natural gas turns out to be a harmful wrong path,” says Nabu in the meantime. Shore power systems have been put into operation in Rostock-Warnemünde and Hamburg so that cruise ships do not need the ship’s diesel for power supply while they are in port.

“Blue Economy” becomes a billion dollar business

Investors such as the DWS fund company from Deutsche Bank have long been interested in the “blue economy”. According to the WWF, the ocean’s annual “gross sea product” is $ 2.5 trillion. This would make the “blue economy” the eighth largest economy in the world. DWS fund manager Paul Buchwitz predicts that the “blue economy” will grow twice as fast as the established economy by 2030. The “blue economy” includes companies that help to reduce marine pollution and curb ocean acidification – as well as those that deal with the sustainable use of marine resources, ecosystems and sustainable fisheries.

I miss the blue sea, I want to blow the cool sea breeze

Want to eat delicious food

Pack your bags, bring your camera, put a smile on

Follow 77 talents and start happily together

Before I set foot on the trip to Xiamen, my heart was like a happy bird. I look forward to this course and I also look forward to the Xiamen travel shoot.

The brainstorming of two days of learning was released during the game. One feeling is: “Sa”. At the same time, the number of WeChat steps is also increasing. “Study well, play well, eat well” is not our happy purpose for this trip, haha.

Boys put on comfortable clothes, girls put on beautiful skirts, and walked barefoot on the beach. It was very uncomfortable when the waves slapped against the insteps.

The camera lifted up to freeze this beautiful moment.

Xiamen is a fascinating city, and Gulangyu Island must be visited.

Here, without the hustle and bustle of the city, the chic houses that can be seen everywhere are hidden in the greenery, with a touch of retro and a little art, without filters and beauty, just a poster at hand.

At the same time, how can tourists who are fans miss the picture of “Lyrics Wall”, behind the familiar lyrics is the love of life and the nostalgia for beauty.

Here, every corner can meet a beautiful mood.

At the same time, after learning 77 talents, you will also have a pair of eyes to discover beauty.

Because when we look at our family, life, and environment with a positive and beautiful heart, all these good things will be discovered by us and will come as promised.

A student took her daughter Hanhan to participate in this trip to Xiamen. At the same time, she hoped that through this activity, her daughter’s tension and pressure on her studies can be relieved.

In the process of getting along these two days, we found that the children’s talents have played very well, but sometimes the adults will not notice the shining points on the children.

When she was in the third grade, Hanhan earned more than 600 yuan in pocket money from selling stationery. Now she has opened a shop on Xianyu, who was in the first year of junior high. Wow, I really feel that her creative talent has been so great. Really great.

Every child is a shining gem. After we know the child’s talents, can we teach them in accordance with their aptitude, help them to better use their talents, and help them have a better ability to face the future!

Since it’s a travel shoot, how can I miss the beautiful photos?

Everyone’s laughter and figures are left on the island

“Water Strike”

“You and me under the coconut tree”

“This is the jump”

“The brightest girl and boy on this island”

and many more

Not much to say, on the picture

Finally is the video of this parade, which will remain in our hearts as a beautiful memory

Now, let me shout together:

“77 talent, spread love together~”

“The young glutinous filling is now rounder, bigger than a month ago. Biting and eating, the pulp was very thick. These are natural forest fillings, a specialty of the countryside, very clean and safe, without chemicals,” Phuong said. Currently, 1kg of green sticky rice fillings at the beginning of the season, Phuong sells for 50,000 VND/kg. Customers buy 2kg, she sells 95,000 VND. Because it’s just the beginning of the season, many people come to the store, see delicious fillings, and immediately order them for processing. Green filling at the beginning of the season is loved by many housewives “Customers who buy green fillings at the beginning of the season usually use a knife to smash the fruit, then store it with fish or meat. Because green fillings are young, the seeds are very tender. Filled with fish and meat stock, the sour taste is very delicious, but it is not acrid,” Phuong said. According to Ms. Phuong, the main harvest season must be nearly 2 months away. At that time, the filling will be ripe. There are 2 types of fillings, which are green fillings and black fillings. These types of fillings are grown a lot in the northern mountainous provinces. If the green fillings have green skin, the black fillings are dark purple. Both types of fillings are diamond-shaped, very delicious and can be used to prepare many dishes. At the beginning of the green filling season, although the selling price is still high, many housewives still rush to order fillings to eat. “There is no such fruit in the city, but only in the northern mountainous region. Therefore, seeing fillings at the beginning of the season, every housewife buys 1-2kg. Like my house, I like to marinate fish sauce. Just halve the fillings, add some delicious fish sauce with a little sugar, and eat deliciously. But many people stock it with meat, fish, and make apricots. In general, there are many ways to eat with fillings.” This small trader revealed that every day she sells from 30-50 kg of fillings at the beginning of the season. “With translation like this, many people buy online. They buy fish stock and meat stock so that they can eat less for the whole week, so they don’t have to go to the market many times and still have delicious food every day.” As far as Ha Dong, but a housewife named Thanh, 28 years old, when she saw the first season of the season on the online market, she immediately ordered 2kg to eat, even though she had lost 30,000 VND to ship. However, as long as there is filling at the beginning of the season, she will have less cravings. Fillings can be combined and processed into many dishes, such as braised with fish, meat, sticky rice Green fillings have a fleshy, fatty taste “My wife and I both like to eat green fillings and black fillings. With green fillings, I usually stock with copper perch. In turn, arrange 1 filling on the bottom of the clay pot, one layer of fish. Then put the soy sauce in the fish pot and cook on low heat until cooked. Very strange, fish stock with fillings, fish is not fishy. Perhaps the filling will take away the fishy taste of the fish. Eating fish has a rich, delicious taste of fillings. Everyone in my family loves this dish. Or if I’m bored with fish stock, I’ll put it in my mouth with bacon, “she said. Even, when buying green fillings, Ms. Thanh also beat it slightly. Then she roasted the chicken with fillings, adding a little water to infuse the spices. Finally, chop some ginger leaves and mix well to eat. Not only does she like to eat green fillings, but Thanh is also addicted to black fillings, although this type of filling cannot be processed as many dishes as green fillings. “With black fillings, I often make sticky rice with sticky rice fillings. Eating sticky rice with fillings gives a strange feeling, both fat and fleshy mixed in sticky rice seeds. This housewife said that she really wants to learn how to salt filling like the Tay people so that she can eat fillings all year round, but she doesn’t know how. “I have studied salt a few times but have not been successful. Because the processing of salt fillings has too many meticulous stages. Perhaps because the salting technique is not correct and the preservation is not good, there is no filling for the whole year,” she admitted.

According to Ms. Ha, a small trader at the 365 wholesale market, she usually sells vegetables every day. About a week ago, she started trading young crocodiles for sale. Due to the beginning of the season, the number of crocodiles purchased is not much, only 10-20 kg/day. These are young, small and sour, slightly acrid, but due to the scarcity of crocodiles, many housewives buy 1-2kg to eat. Crocodiles at the beginning of the season begin to be sold Crocodile price is only 40,000 VND/kg, much cheaper than last year’s price “Last year, I sold crocodiles at the beginning of the season for 60,000 VND/kg. But this year, due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, the price of crocodiles also decreased much, only 40,000 VND / kg. These are young crocodiles, which I bought from families in My Duc, Chuong My, Ung Hoa, “said Ms. Ha. Ms. Ha said that although young crocodiles at the beginning of the season are sour and a bit acrid, many guests especially like them. In addition to cooking sour soup, soaked in boiled water spinach, many housewives who love snacks also like young crocodiles with sugar or soaked in fish sauce. This small trader shared, in about a month, crocodiles in the North will enter the main crop. At that time, the crocodile was bigger and firmer, and thicker. The price of crocodiles when in the main season also halved, only about 20,000 VND/kg. Currently, this small trader also said that every day she sells crocodiles at the beginning of the season about 20kg. There were days when customers asked to buy more, but she did not have anything to sell. Talking about the experience of choosing to buy fresh and delicious crocodiles at the beginning of the season, Ms. Ha said: “The first 10 crocodiles in the season are almost 10, no need to carefully choose each one, they are still delicious. Buyers only need to choose large fruits with slightly lumpy skin and thick pulp to get a lot of sour meat. Avoid choosing fruits with dark skin, bruised and shiny skin because they are too young and can’t be kept for a long time. Preparing to harvest crocodiles Mrs. Do Thi Hue, a housewife in Ha Tri 1, Ha Dong, Hanoi today went to market 365 and also chose to buy 1kg of crocodile at the beginning of the season. Mrs. Hue said, her whole family liked the sour taste of crocodile more than lemon and tamarind. Because the frozen crocodile stock had just ended last week, today when I went to the market, I saw that there was a sale of alligators at the beginning of the season, she rushed to buy 1kg for 40,000 VND. “The first crocodiles in the season are mainly young crocodiles and alligators, so you can buy sour fish soup or boiled water spinach soup to get a very delicious and refreshing bowl of soup. My grandson likes to eat young crocodile with fish sauce. Therefore, I bought 1kg to eat, bought it all over again. Because young crocodiles at the beginning of the season don’t last long, they get damaged quickly,” Hue said.

For the people of Hanoi, summer is not only the season of the brilliant red phoenix, the faithful purple mausoleum or the golden canary flower in a corner of the sky, but also the most brilliant lotus flower season. In the last days of May, on many alleys and street corners of the capital, we can easily see street vendors with all kinds of white lotuses and pink lotuses gently blooming. On the streets of Hanoi such as Lac Long Quan, Thuy Khue, Hoang Hoa Tham, Nguyen Chi Thanh, Phan Dinh Phung … began to see the appearance of pink lotus bouquets both strange and familiar. The early summer lotus has not yet fully bloomed, but it is still shy in the breath of nature, and still has pure pearl-like dew drops on it. Loads of flower vendors roaming the streets are both gentle, rustic and bring the unique nature of Hanoi. In the area of ​​Quang Ba flower market (Tay Ho) lotus also began to be sold a lot. The image of the lotus flower has long been associated with folk songs and proverbs, associated with the life and people of Vietnam in general and the Ha Thanh people in particular. For every child of the capital, the pure beauty of the lotus flower is one of the indispensable wonderful things when summer comes. The lotus season usually lasts until the beginning of September, but the most beautiful and fragrant flower period is from the end of May to the second half of June. Bach Diep lotus (Quan Am lotus) has a darker pink color with many layers of small petals and a mild fragrance. In addition to pink lotus, white lotus is also very popular. White lotus is native to India, lotus pond owners said, if well cared for, the plant can grow to nearly 2 meters, the roots crawl horizontally under the water about 3 meters. Referring to Hanoi lotus, people often refer to West Lake lotus. But West Lake lotus flowers often bloom late, so at this time, the street vendors are usually imported from Tu Liem, Thanh Tri, Thuong Tin… The flower buds are nestled on the green foliage. Lotus has many uses: Lotus petals are used to decorate dishes, while the rhizome (lotus lotus root) can be used to process many delicious dishes such as soups, soups, stir-fries… Stamens are dried. dried and used to make tea. Lotus seeds can be made milk, dried as raw materials, made medicine… For tea marinating, lotus at the beginning of the season is the most quintessential gift that heaven and earth have bestowed on the people of this region. The flowers have just bloomed, hundreds of petals are cupped, entwined when the fragrance is still bold and sweetest. At the beginning of the season, because the lotus has not yet bloomed, the price is quite high, ranging from 50,000 to 80,000 VND/bundle of 10 flowers. Even many bouquets cost up to over 100,000 VND if you want to add a lotus flower. Cars full of lotus flowers roaming the streets attracting a large number of people to see and choose to buy. The scent of lotus, who has missed it, lingers forever.

Especially, in the first quarter of this year, Vietnam’s mango exports earned 125.2 million USD, up 30.6% over the same period in 2020. However, these days, the price of mangoes at the market has dropped sharply. For example: An Giang low-seeded mangoes are reduced to 9,000-15,000 VND/kg depending on the type, many places sell for 15,000 VND/kg, Vip Taiwanese mangoes are only 7,000 VND/kg, Australian mangoes are advertised. As for export goods, the price has also decreased to 15,000 VND/kg,… Not only that, mangoes are also landing in the markets in extremely large quantities. So, on the “online market” instead of selling by weight as before, mangoes are now sold in sets of several pounds or sold in boxes. Mangoes are being sold on the “web market” for as cheap as vegetables Wholesalers said that currently Vietnamese mangoes are as cheap as vegetables, retail by weight, shipping is more expensive than mangoes. So, they switched to selling in sets of a few pounds or in boxes for convenience. Ordering a whole box of 15kg Taiwanese mangoes for only 95,000 VND, Ms. Doan Thi Thanh Hai from Nguyen Cong Hoan (Ba Dinh, Hanoi), said: “A box for only 95,000 VND, the price is only about 6,700 VND/ kg”. According to Ms. Hai, in the past, she often had to buy Taiwanese mangoes with flat seeds at the price of 35,000-45,000 VND/kg depending on the time. 4 days ago, she also ordered Australian mango with large fruit, red skin, ripe yellow inside, sweet and delicious, priced at only 15,000 VND/kg. “In previous years, Vietnamese mangoes were usually more expensive,. And now the opposite. At the market, Chinese mini mangoes cost up to 25,000-30,000 VND/kg, while Vietnamese mangoes are as cheap as vegetables,” she commented. Therefore, on this occasion, Ms. Hai did not buy foreign fruits anymore, but switched to buying Vietnamese mangoes to support farmers to consume products. The retail price of mangoes at the market mostly fell to less than 10,000 VND/kg (photo: BH) On the “online market”, Vietnamese mangoes are also crowded with customers because the price is so cheap. Most women choose to buy in boxes of 9-15 kg/barrel because the price is cheaper than buying in sets, 3-5 kg/set, depending on the type. Talk to PV. VietNamNet, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Thuy – a large online fruit seller in Cau Giay (Hanoi) admitted that on this occasion most mango prices have dropped sharply. Some are halved, some are now only 1/3 of what they used to be. Ms. Thuy said that on this occasion, she sells many kinds of mangoes such as: acacia mango, Australian mango, Taiwanese mango, flat-seeded mango, etc. However, each time she imports a different type of mango for customers to choose from. . Mangoes do not retail 1-2kg as before, but are divided into 5kg bags or sold in boxes of 9-15kg. “Because of the unprecedented low price, on this occasion, the number of customers buying mangoes has increased dramatically,” she said and revealed that it is normal for her to consume about 1-2 tons of mangoes a day. One day, she sold out more than 3 tons, because most of the customers bought by the box. Like last week, she sold out about 10 tons of mangoes of all kinds. On this occasion, the harvest season was in full swing with the Covid-19 epidemic, so the price of mangoes at the growers plummeted (photo: BH) Ms. Bui Thi Tram from Hoang Van Thai (Thanh Xuan, Hanoi), also said that in the past half month, she has consumed around 1 ton of low-seeded mangoes every day. “A lot of people will not believe it. But low-seeded mangoes are very cheap. Big and beautiful fruit is only 15,000 VND/kg I sell in sets of 5kg, customers buy less than 1 set, buy 2 sets more, so the amount of mangoes sold every day is very large,” she shared. Last April, many growers in An Giang and Long An said that mangoes were in the harvest season but faced difficulties in exporting due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, so the price plummeted. Ms. An, a mango farmer in Chau Doc (An Giang), lamented that if Hoa Loc mango was purchased for 40,000 VND/kg, now it only sells for 20,000 VND/kg, Thai mangoes are still sold. 15,000 VND/kg, Taiwanese mango varieties are sold at the garden for only 3,000 VND/kg. Traders buying mangoes in Long An also said that because mangoes in the southern provinces were in the midst of a busy harvest and encountered an epidemic, the price dropped. Accordingly, acacia mangoes reduced to 4,000-5,000 VND/kg, Cat Chu mango 9,000-10,000 VND/kg, Hoa Loc sand mango 15,000-17,000 VND/kg.

Ms. Trinh Thi Mai from Yen Xa, Hanoi, two weeks ago started selling Dak Lak pink lychee. She said, this is the first fabric of the season that she imported from the Central Highlands to sell to gourmets. “Dak Lak persimmon usually ripens early and yields earlier than other lychees in the country. Usually, this type of fabric will start to ripen from April, until May is the end of the season. Years ago, many people ordered this pink fabric. Every day, I sell weights even though the price is up to 100,000 VND/kg when I go to Hanoi. But this year, the purchasing power dropped sharply even though the price of lychee fell to only 50,000 VND/kg. While at this price last year, customers can only buy loose fruit, without branches, without leaves, “Ms. Mai said. The first fabric of this year’s season is half as cheap as last year This small trader shared, because it is just the beginning of the season, the lychee is not 100% sweet but only about 70% sweet, still a little sour. However, these lychees are still very fresh and delicious. This fabric is therefore still ordered by gourmets to enjoy and housewives to buy offerings on weekdays and full moon days. “The early season lychee is very fresh and sweet, with thick pulp, thin skin, and large, uniform fruits. Because it is beautiful and has a much cheaper price than usual, many customers still order 1-2kg to burn incense. But in general, purchasing power this year is slower than last year because of the Covid-19 epidemic, consumers spend more sparingly. Every day I can only sell about 10-20 kg of lychee,” said Mai. Also a small trader is selling litchi at the beginning of the season, but Ms. Tran Thi Huyen sells hybrid fabrics. Although at the beginning of the season, Huyen sells for only 25,000 VND / kg, 100,000 VND / 4 kg. Huyen said that these are hybrid lychee branches, sweet and sour taste. They are picked at the lychee garden in her hometown, Hung Yen, so they are very fresh. Because it is the fabric of the house, she sells it at a cheaper price than at the market. “Every year, fabric is usually exported to China. But this year, the export market is very quiet, the gardeners are absent from traders who come to deposit to buy. Therefore, the lychee is ripe until it is cut.” Because it is the first type of Northern litchi at the beginning of the season, it has the same cheap price as other popular fruits, so when she sold it online, it attracted the attention of many housewives. Customers often order from 2kg or more to burn incense or taste. “Last year, my family sold lychee at wholesale markets for about 30,000 VND/kg. Selling online, I offer 40,000 VND/kg. Meanwhile, many online shops also sell 50,000-60,000 VND/kg. However, this year the pandemic ended, so I sold it at that price and received a lot of support from many sisters,” Huyen said. According to PV’s observations, on the online market at this time, many small traders sell hybrid fabrics, pink lychee, and egg yolk litchi grown in Quang Ninh and Hung Yen. Because the small traders said, this time there is no lychee. This fabric is about a month away from the main crop. This small trader commented: “Although hybrid lychees and lychees are not as delicious as Bac Giang lychees, their fruits are quite large, round, succulent, and do not have head decay. In particular, the cloth is clean without preservatives, safer than many other fruits.” Before the complicated development of the new Covid-19 epidemic, many lychee sellers also expressed concern that the purchasing power of lychee was low and could not be exported. Despite the large number of customers ordering, the number of customers decreased significantly compared to last year, and in the main season, the price of cloth will surely decrease even more. “Therefore, our family is considering a plan to promote retailing at markets, especially wholesale markets, toad markets and online markets. In addition, try to connect with supermarkets to see if they can push fabrics to sell. Besides, there will also be a plan to dry and store cold to sell gradually”, Ms. Huyen shared.

Tencent News “Periphery” Qi’an Keep, which started as a mobile fitness tool, has been officially launched in February 2015. Almost every round of financing is completed, it can push the financing amount and company valuation of the vertical field to a high point. Keep’s development process can be roughly divided into three stages: mobile fitness tools, a new generation of sports brands, and sports social platforms. After 6 years of development, the scale of Keep’s users has reached 300 million, and more than 6 million people sweat on Keep every day, with 40 million monthly active users. This unicorn, which is valued at US$2 billion and is at the forefront of the industry, has frequently reported IPO trends since 2021. When asked about the listing schedule, Keep is reluctant to respond more, but in the latest report, Keep will submit a prospectus to the SEC at the end of this month at the earliest. The listing time is as early as July, or it may be delayed to November. . According to media reports, Keep’s founder and CEO Wang Ning and other management expect Keep to go public in 2021 at the earliest and 2022 at the latest. Since its birth, the most questioned question for Keep is, what is the profit model? In the past few years, Keep has been exploring a viable commercialization path. At the strategy and new product launch conference on April 21, Keep launched the App 7.0 version, which further clarified the next strategic direction, “quality content, sports technology”. It is not difficult to see that Keep’s exploration of commercialization is beginning to bear fruit. From 1.0 To 3.0 , Keep Groping From payment for knowledge to brand creation, and from online to offline consumption scenarios, every step of Keep’s business iteration seems logical to follow. Keepland is not a successful attempt. In 2018, Keep launched the Keepland business and began to lay out offline sports space. The original intention of Keepland was to make an infrastructure for user experience and coaching training to connect the city and parallel to the content connecting the family. But the good times did not last long. Before 2020, Keepland was forced to reduce its business front because of the high offline costs. Coupled with the subsequent impact of the epidemic, Keepland closed its stores in Beijing and Shanghai one after another. Today, Keepland has only 9 stores left in Beijing. In a recent interview with the media, Keep partner and vice president Liu Dong said that Keepland is affected by the epidemic on the one hand, and Keep’s consumer goods business is developing very fast. In contrast, the offline business process will be slower. Keepland will always do it, but it is more stable compared with other businesses. “In the future, Keep will not shrink Keepland’s battle line, nor will it over-expand,” Liu Dong said. The thinking that Keepland brought to the Keep executive team is that a good coach can determine the full class rate and completion rate, how can we bring a good offline experience to the online, so that the restricted scene space is broken by the Internet? In Liu Dong’s view, Keepland can be regarded as an incubator for the online live broadcast business and coaching team, and the cognition generated offline can be amplified through the Internet. Keepland is just a trial and error when Keep is iterating from version 1.0 to version 2.0. Another detour appeared in the way Keep expands to the apparel category. In Keep’s strategic plan, clothing is an extremely important category of consumer goods. Under the industry background at that time, brands such as Li Ning and FILA were making more design-conscious sports life products, all of which were non-standard products. Keep also followed up and tried. The contradiction is that the cornerstone of Keep walking so far is to accurately grasp the needs of users, and products with a sense of design vary from person to person. In addition, Keep faces users directly through online platforms, with a single channel structure and few fault tolerance mechanisms, unlike traditional ones. Brands have distributors and product selection meetings, and their ability to personalize transformation is insufficient. In the end, Keep returns to functional clothing again, choosing relatively standard categories to reduce the user’s decision-making costs. Keep need one “ Li Jiaqi “ Catalyzed by the 2020 epidemic, users have further awakened their awareness of exercise, and home fitness has ushered in a turning point in the industry. The share price of American family spinning brand Peloton doubled six times within a year, and its market value soared to US$47 billion; the market value of yoga pants brand Lululemon surpassed Adidas to become the world’s second largest sportswear brand; Keep also enjoyed industry dividends through live fitness courses. Achieve substantial growth in DAU and MAU. In January 2021, Keep completed a new round of US$360 million in Series F financing. According to Liu Dong, this round of financing is mainly invested in live lessons, premium content IP, and intelligent hardware AIoT. This year Keep has no new financing plan for the time being. However, fitness live broadcasts are still in the early stages of development. After the platform has received a large number of new users, the next step is to consider how to retain them and lose users as little as possible. Jingjing Huang, vice president of Keep, hopes to create a team of Keep coaches and become a “Li Jiaqi” in the fitness industry, and to improve the commercial monetization ability of coaches through course fees, advertising, and e-commerce delivery. The proportion of Keep female users has always been greater than that of male users. Previously, the Keep fitness class showed a sense of element, which was not visually friendly for female users. Therefore, Keep decided to create a newer content ecological community, and to enhance the female user experience as one of the starting points. On the one hand, Keep has increased its investment in making official self-made IP content. For example, it has launched three new IP courses focusing on the sports needs of female users, namely “temperament ballet”, “hot sweat yoga”, and “fat burning party”, taking into account users’ different sports foundations, Sports preferences and emotional appeals are comprehensively upgraded in terms of motion design, visual and auditory perception. On the other hand, to promote the content supply of PUGC and brand institutions, users can either follow the official courses of the Keep professional system or follow the training courses for masters. Keep content monetization channels are mainly realized through members and advertisements. When assessing the quality of courses and IP, Keep values ​​the user’s stay time indicator and commercialization performance. At present, some IP courses have been added to Keep member rights. In Huang Jingjing’s view, the commercial value of content can be roughly divided into three levels. The first is to help brands reduce the cost of acquiring customers and connect users with the brand through content, which cannot be achieved by pure advertising bombing and sharing with talents. Secondly, content is the foundation of the platform. By providing users with content with a low learning threshold, it can support a certain membership scale. Third, the content itself can bring brand premiums, solve the “deep alley” problem, and achieve higher gross profit results. The problem is that online courses are Keep’s highest profit margin products, but on short video platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou, a group of fitness KOLs are growing. They publish free fitness content, which makes it easier to gather fans and develop talents. Bring goods. This is likely to divert users of the Keep platform and affect its mall GMV. Liu Dong said that although Keep’s course presentation format is also a video, it is different from the short video in nature. For the same household, it is not a product to kill time, but a tool with recording functions. The commercialization path shows initial results What Keep, with 300 million users, lacks is not traffic, but the ability to monetize traffic. On March 14 this year, when Adidas announced the establishment of a partnership with Peloton, it mentioned that it would cooperate around Peloton’s high-intensity community attributes. Peloton is taking a road that combines “smart hardware + content”. Its revenue structure consists of equipment (bicycle + treadmill) revenue and subscription content. It will achieve profitability in Q4 2020, with a gross profit margin of 47.6%. The “live course + smart hardware” model of Keep will be available soon, and Peloton is ahead. The industry is curious about Keep. Will it become the next Peloton? Let’s first look at Keep’s revenue composition. It consists of three parts: consumer goods business, advertising business, and membership business, and consumer goods account for more than half, which is higher than the sum of the other two businesses. In 2020, the sales scale of Keep’s consumer products business will exceed one billion, achieving 100% annual growth. The growth of Keep’s consumer products business has not yet reached the ceiling. Currently, e-commerce channels are mainly concentrated on JD.com, Tmall and Keep, but have not yet expanded to other e-commerce channels; Keep can also promote sales growth by establishing live broadcast, community, offline and other distribution channels. Liu Dong told Tencent Technology that three years ago, the scale of Keep’s consumer products was only about 40 million, and three years later, it will reach a scale of 1 billion +, and this growth rate will continue in the future. The realization of consumer products depends on the scale of sales. In contrast, the profit margin of the membership business is higher. Keep has repeatedly released the positive news that the company’s commercialization is progressing smoothly to the outside world. In June 2020, Liu Dong stated that Keep has achieved overall profitability. “The direction of commercialization is very clear, one is sports consumer goods GMV, the other is online services, and ultimately hopes to produce some value-added services in sports solutions.” At this media communication meeting, Liu Dong further explained that the caliber of Keep’s profitability includes the company’s overall operating conditions. Members are high-margin Internet product businesses that can cover Keep’s mid-stage, research and development technology and other cost inputs; and consumer products The eating, wearing, using, and training scenarios covered by the section can increase user repurchase, and currently there are 8 million consumer goods users. For example, users will not buy bicycles repeatedly, but will buy clothing, food and other products many times because of sports. The gross profit of these two parts is higher than that of smart hardware, which is a big increase. This shows that Keep’s business model of membership + advertising + e-commerce is taking shape, and it works right now. But Liu Dong added that whether Keep will continue to make a profit depends on future business plans. The strategy at this stage is to continue to invest. It should be pointed out that among the consumer products that Keep eats, wears, uses, and exercises, GMV has the highest growth rate and share of smart products. The volume of food is small and the sales scale exceeds 100 million. China’s food supply chain market is transparent, and homogeneity is relatively more serious. What Keep can do is to combine food with scenes instead of inventing new products. Jin Yesi, an analyst in the fitness industry, commented that Keep’s monetization model is quite rich. Keep’s membership value-added services are different from other website members, and can form a closed loop of consumption with live lessons, household appliances, and sports consumer goods.
