The speed of light (more generally, the speed of propagation of electromagnetic radiation) in a vacuum, denoted c, is an important fundamental physical constant in many areas of physics. It has an exact value of 299,792,458 meters per second, because the meter length unit is redefined based on this constant and the standard second. According to special relativity, c is the maximum speed that all energy, matter, and information in the universe can reach. It is the speed at which every massless particle bound to physical fields (including electromagnetic radiation such as light photons) propagates in a vacuum. It is also the propagation speed of gravity (such as gravitational waves) predicted by current theories. Particles and waves travel with velocity c regardless of the motion of the source or of the observer’s inertial frame of reference. After Einstein founded relativity, it became known that the speed of light is indeed very fast, because this is the upper limit of the local speed in the universe, and no other speed can be exceeded. through it. Moreover, regardless of the medium in the frame of reference, the measured speed of light is exactly the same. Based on the principle of the constant speed of light in relativity and the highly accurate measurement of the speed of light, physicists have also determined the speed of light to be 299,792,458 meters/second without affecting the speed of light. affect the current physical quantity. In this way, people no longer have to worry about accurately measuring the speed of light, and can also solve the problem of errors in the equipment used to determine the clock. The speed of light propagating in a vacuum is independent of both the motion of the light source as well as of the observer’s inertial frame of reference. The constancy of the speed of light was postulated by Einstein in his 1905 paper on special relativity. Physicists can now only experimentally confirm the speed of light by methods above two Two-way speed of light is frame-independent, because the speed of light cannot be measured in one-way speed of light, ignoring some conventions of uniformity. synchronization between the clock at the source and the clock at the receiver. Whether it’s electron transition, nuclear fusion, nuclear fission, or the annihilation of yin and yang matter, these processes produce light. Once light is created, their speed will immediately reach the speed of light, and they will always travel at this speed. If light were not absorbed by matter, they would not be dissipated in the universe, and the speed would always remain at the speed of light. For example, the first photons created in the universe 13.8 billion years ago are still present today, and they travel through the universe at the speed of light. So, how did light reach the speed of light? How does light maintain the speed of light? What is the driving force that drives the light forward? If it is explained from the point of view of the particle nature of light, then light is composed of photons with no rest mass. According to special relativity, since the static mass of photons is zero, their speed can only be the speed of light. According to the Higgs mechanism of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, when photons without static mass pass through the Higgs field throughout the universe, the photons will not be coupled, so they will not gain static mass, and their speed will not decrease. Once the photons are generated, their speed will directly reach the speed of light, and there is no acceleration from zero to the speed of light. Propagation of photons does not require energy to propagate, if they were not absorbed by matter or a black hole, they would always travel aimlessly through a vacuum at the speed of light. On the other hand, if explained from the evaporation of light, the nature of light is electromagnetic wave. Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism show that electricity and magnetic fields are essentially unified, that a changing electric field excites a magnetic field, and a changing magnetic field excites a repeated electric field, creating out electromagnetic waves. Since electromagnetic fields are formed at the speed of light, electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light. The generation and existence of electromagnetic fields are independent of the medium, so light can travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. Although the spatial structure continues to expand, light propagating through space will appear redshift, but they will not completely disappear in the universe.

A few days ago, the Consumer Protection Bureau of my country Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission issued the “About Now Consumer Finance Co., Ltd.

Notification of infringement of the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

According to the report, the leveraged game found that there are 7 major aspects of violations of the legitimate rights and interests of consumers in the immediate consumption of gold.

Today, I will talk about these 7 aspects on the one hand; on the other hand, based on the annual audit report of Immediately Consumers, I will start with this company.

1. How does the immediate consumption of money infringe the rights and interests of consumers? What’s the signal behind?

Supervision has improved compared with before.

In recent months, there have been interviews, public exposures, fines, anti-monopoly investigations, etc. There are various forms of non-compliance of the platform economy, illegal collection of user information, various forms of monopoly, and behaviors that infringe on consumer rights and interests. Unprecedented punishment.

At the Dragon Boat Festival in 2021, it will be the turn of the technology and financial giants to consume money immediately. According to the report, there are mainly 7 major problems:

First, there is exaggeration and misleading in marketing and publicity, and inadequate performance of the obligation of notification. For example, for example, the publicity of the “Anyihua” APP of Immediately Consumer Money is exaggerated and misleading. There is a publicity statement of “ultra-low interest rate” on the homepage, and the actual loan interest rate is 7.2%-36%.

Also, if the pop-up window of “Quick Loan Rights” displays “Free Collection”, click it to lead consumers into the joint loan review process.

Take a loan test of Anyihua APP as an example. The loan is jointly funded by Immediately Consumer Finance and the bank, and underwritten by the insurance company. The entire loan application process does not inform the insured individual of the cost of guarantee insurance in advance, and there is no reminder of key insurance clauses. Description.

Second, product pricing management is not standardized, and individual service pricing is unreasonable. For example, Immediately Consumer Finance will manage the portion of the comprehensive capital cost exceeding 36% of the borrower’s actual loan interest, penalty interest, and early repayment handling fee as an “overpayment” management, and it is stipulated in the contract that the borrower can claim the overpayment. Payment was made, but the borrower was not notified in a significant manner on the client side. Some borrowers’ loans have been paid off, but the overpayment was not returned to the borrower’s account.

Third, the management of student loans is not standardized, and there are deviations in implementation. For example, the mother of a borrower requested to cancel the account through the customer service phone, asking whether she would stop lending to her if she knew that the borrower was a student.

The company’s customer service replied that even if it is a student, if it is their true wish and they are over 18 years old and under 60 years old, they can be released after the system review, and the final review of the APP system shall prevail.

Fourth, the partner management system is not sound, and the control is not strict. For example, there is a lack of institutional standards for the risk limit management of partners and stores. The cooperation contract with the medical aesthetics merchant lacks the agreement on training matters, and the loan limit setting is unscientific and unreasonable.

Fifth, the management of joint loans is not standardized, and there is regulatory arbitrage. There are cases where loan interest is paid to cooperative banks as service fees. For example, it is agreed with a bank in a cooperation agreement that part of the interest will be converted into financial service fees paid to the bank at an annualized rate of 1.5%.

In the joint loan business with cooperative banks, the borrower’s premiums are immediately consumed and transferred to the cooperative insurance company on a regular basis. This is the act of collecting and paying insurance premiums, but it does not have the qualifications of insurance intermediary. Later, he joined an insurance brokerage company in the business link, but it did not change the nature of the collection and payment of insurance premiums, and there was regulatory arbitrage.

Sixth, the collection management is not in place, and there are non-compliant collections. Telephone collections may disclose borrower information to unrelated third parties, insults, and attacks.

Seventh, the consumer rights protection system is not perfect, and some functions have not been implemented. For example, the “Anyihua” APP of Immediately Consumers, and the interest rates displayed on the loan application pages of some third-party cooperation platforms are not converted into annualized forms.

The disclosure of the early repayment fee standard in the announcement of product information, pricing and service content on the company’s official website is not clear. The collection of customer information in the “Privacy Policy” does not comply with the “necessary” principle. For example, the collection of “SMS records” from customers does not limit the time and scope of the collected call records, equipment, geographic location and other information.

In addition, the leverage game pays attention to 3 details.

First, this notice was sent to the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Bureau and the local legal bancassurance institution at the same time.

Second, the report said:

The infringement of consumers’ legal rights and interests by Immediate Consumer Finance Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Immediate Consumer Finance) discovered during the inspection is hereby notified as follows…

This sentence, and combined with various previous news, we know that there may be many more consumer finance companies and technology finance companies that will be notified next.

Third, not only that, but the notification also stated that the Consumer Protection Bureau of the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission will deal with the company in strict accordance with laws and regulations-which means not only notification but also punishment.

Prior to this, several Internet companies were fined.

2. Many indicators of gold consumption immediately decline

According to the 2020 audit report of Immediately Consumer Gold, many indicators of Immediately Consumer Gold declined.

For example, revenue dropped from 8.953 billion yuan in 2019 to 7.604 billion yuan in 2020.

Looking at the details of the above figure, the main reason for the revenue decline of 1.3 billion yuan is that there are more handling fees and commission expenses and the decline in revenue.

For example, leveraged games found that the renewal and commission expenses in 2019 will be 1.8 billion yuan, and the expenses in 2020 will be close to 3.4 billion yuan.

In terms of fee and commission income, it will be more than 2.8 billion yuan in 2019, and it will drop by more than 1.6 billion yuan in 2020.

This increase and decrease will cause the net fee and commission income in 2020 to turn negative, and it will be negative more than 1.7 billion yuan. In 2019, this figure will be more than 1 billion yuan.

This change may be closely related to the changes in the regulatory situation in 2020.

At the same time as revenue declines, the profit index for immediate consumption of gold also decreases.

As shown in the figure below, both operating profit and total profit have declined compared with 2019. The final net profit fell from 853 million yuan in 2019 to 712 million yuan in 2020.

At the same time, leveraged games also noticed that the total assets of Immediately Consumer Gold will be 52.5 billion yuan in 2020, slightly lower than the 54.8 billion yuan in 2019.

The accounts receivable for immediate consumption rose from 479 million yuan at the end of 2019 to 624 million yuan in 2020.

As shown in the figure above, it is mainly due to the increase in joint loan receivables from over 200 million yuan at the end of 2019 to over 600 million yuan at the end of 2020.

How much can be recovered, and how much can never be recovered?

3. Can it still hit the market?

In September 2020, the official website of the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission announced a news that the Chongqing Banking and Insurance Regulatory Bureau agreed in principle to immediately issue A shares by consumer finance companies. After deducting the issuance costs, all the proceeds from the issuance should be used to supplement the company’s core tier one. capital.

Immediately consumer finance was one of 26 consumer finance companies approved by the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission at that time. According to its official website, it officially opened in June 2015 and completed three capital increase and share expansion in 2016, 2017, and 2018, with a registered capital of 4 billion yuan.

Shareholders include Chongqing Department Store Co., Ltd., Beijing Zhongguancun Kejin Technology Co., Ltd., Wumart Technology Group Co., Ltd., Bank of Chongqing Co., Ltd., Sunshine Property Insurance Co., Ltd., Zhejiang China Commodity City Group Co., Ltd., and a new round of strategy Investors CICC, CITIC Construction Investment and Chongqing Liangjiang New District and other central enterprises and local state-owned assets background capital.

In the camp of consumer finance companies, the consumption of money is the first echelon. The registered capital is second only to the newly approved Ant Financial, and the already opened Home Credit and Ping An Consumer.

Previously, the industry big brother Home Credit Consumer Finance originally submitted a listing application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in July 2019, but withdrew the application in November 2019.

In 2020, Immediately Consumer Gold was awarded the road of Chongqing Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, which gave people a lot of reveries. The valuation of Immediately Consumer Gold also ranks among the top unicorns.

Later, we learned that the Ant Group was suspended at the last minute of its listing, and then launched an in-depth rectification of Internet giants and Internet finance.

Since the birth of technology finance companies, there have been many questions and complaints.

In addition to this naming notification, in 2019, 17 financial apps were named for collecting personal information, and the Anyihua under Immediately Consumer Gold was among them.

According to the current situation, it may take a while to immediately eliminate the current major troubles.

“We are negotiating to establish a military base in Qatar, thereby creating a training ground for the elite members of Afghanistan,” a Western security official said. NATO troops ready to support training for Afghan special forces An integral part of NATO’s military operation is helping to train Afghan security forces to fight Afghan insurgents. Each NATO training session for Afghan troops in Qatar is expected to last four to six weeks. Fears that the Taliban will overwhelm the Afghan army have been heightened in recent times as the insurgent group has carried out many major attacks and captured many military bases. Qatar has been known as the seat of the Taliban’s political office since 2013. In recent years, it has also mediated peace talks between US officials, NATO representatives, the Afghan government and the government. Taliban. According to two sources, the US, UK and Turkey are ready to deploy experts to train Afghan forces in Qatar.

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.

Current outfit of the Market Management force. Photo: QL. Since its establishment in 1957, the image of the IRGC has been associated with the “withered grass” green outfit. Over the years, the uniforms of the information management force have basically ensured stability and served their professional duties well. However, practical use shows that the force’s costumes still reveal aesthetic limitations, have not created unity among regions, have not met the requirements of fabric quality, design, style. The new uniform of the TTVN forces will be used from July 3, 2021 on the 64th anniversary of the Tradition Day. Photo: QLTT. According to General Director Tran Huu Linh, the selection and regulation of colors and new dress specifications ensure the majesty, professionalism and modernity of the law enforcement force, but still show harmony and youthfulness. dynamic, not coincident or confusing in color with the costumes of some other force. At the same time, with the improvement of fabric material, it is convenient for civil servants during use in the office, as well as outdoor official activities. Summer outfit. Photo: QLTT. In particular, the improvement and production of new costumes will not incur costs, but still ensure the quality, overcome the limitations that the old costumes still exist, changing the appearance of the force uniforms. QLTT, beautiful and better. According to Newspapers

According to General Director Tran Huu Linh, the new colors and specifications ensure the majesty, professionalism and modernity, but still show youthfulness and dynamism, do not coincide or cause confusion with colors with costumes. of some other force. At the same time, with the improvement of fabric material, it will help civil servants convenient in the process of using in the office as well as outdoor official activities. The new uniform of the TTVN forces is changed to the main color of light blue and dark blue. Photo: DMS. Regarding winter clothes, the improvement and production of new costumes will not incur costs but still ensure quality, overcoming the limitations that the old outfit still exists. Since its establishment in 1957 up to now, the image of the TTVN forces has been associated with the traditional blue outfit, also known as the color “withered grass”. However, practical use shows that the uniforms of the force still reveal limitations such as not creating unity among regions, not showing the formal majesty of the military forces and not meeting some requirements. requirements on fabric quality, designs and styles. In addition, the uniforms of the TTM forces are similar in design to some other units, such as the colors of the People’s Security Forces, the Rangers, some security units or the order-keeping forces of Communes and wards cause confusion among units in the process of performing tasks. Therefore, the change of costumes will be a highly symbolic element in the face of the constant volatility of the market, with the determination to build a force with a new style, with a new vision.

New clothing for the summer of the market management force from next July. Over the years, the uniform of market management forces has basically ensured stability. However, according to a representative of the General Department of Market Management, through practical use, the force’s costumes still reveal aesthetic limitations, have not created unity among regions, and have not modern, professional; has not yet shown the majesty and formality required of the market management force. Besides, the costumes of the market management force have similar designs to some other units such as the colors of the people’s security forces, the forest rangers, etc., causing confusion among the units in the field. task execution. New winter clothing of the market management force from next July. The new uniform of the market management force in blue will be officially used from July 3, 2021, on the 64th anniversary of Industry Tradition Day. According to General Director of the General Department of Market Management Tran Huu Linh, the selection and regulation of colors and new dress specifications do not incur costs, do not coincide or cause confusion with the color of the costumes of some forces. other. At the same time, improving the fabric material, making it convenient for civil servants to use in the office as well as outdoor official activities.

Using Bluezone helps detect close contact with suspected infected people, contributing to the prevention and control of Covid-19 epidemic. The Center is headed by Mr. Do Cong Anh, Deputy Director in charge of the Department of Informatization (Ministry of Information and Communications); leader of Information Technology Department (Ministry of Health) as Deputy Director; Mr. Tran Dac Phu, consultant of Vietnam Public Health Emergency Response Center is a member, in charge of professional advice. In addition, the Center has 6 other members from functional units of the Ministry of Information and Communications and information technology enterprises. In particular, the leader of Bkav Group is in charge of the overall design of shared platforms and databases… The Center has the task of acting as a focal point, coordinating with agencies, organizations and enterprises, participating in technical and technological support and cooperation to serve the prevention and control of Covid-19 epidemic; design, build, manage, operate, monitor, ensure safety and network security for technology platforms and systems for Covid-19 prevention and control. In particular, the Center will uniformly manage, centrally connect and distribute electronic health declaration data, domestic movement declaration data, people’s reflection data, quarantine point data and data on control of entry and exit of quarantine points between Covid-19 epidemic prevention and control technology systems… Step 1: Visit https://www.bluezone.gov.vn or download directly at App Store or CH Play.

If someone near you less than 2m has used Bluezone, the application will automatically identify these users and put them in the contact list.

Mobile Money serves up to 90% of small transactions Faced with this shortcoming, the Ministry of Information and Communications believes that Mobile Money will be an effective solution to add to the means of payment for Vietnamese people. If Mobile Money service is licensed to telecommunications companies, the coverage of e-payment services will quickly reach 100% of the population. This will promote e-commerce, agricultural commodity exchanges, especially in remote areas, promote online public services, promote Fintech companies, innovative startups, help economic growth. All countries that allow Mobile Money generate economic growth of up to 0.5%. According to calculations by major service providers, Mobile Money will probably serve up to 90% of small transactions. This is an opportunity for telecommunications companies to promote digital transformation of customers. Because, users can easily buy online goods services as well as digital content services in the telecommunications company’s ecosystem. On the contrary, this is also the driving force for telecommunications companies to digitally transform. This will bring great benefits to society to move towards a digital economy and digital society in the future. Commenting on this issue, Mr. Vu Hoang Lien, Chairman of Vietnam Internet Association, said that Mobile Money service will bring many benefits to consumers and society and promote non-cash payments. However, the Mobile Money service will also impact payment intermediary service providers as the service will share the market, customers and business algorithms. However, with the trend of technology, we need to further improve the payment environment to be a driving force for development. “If licensed soon, Mobile Money will be the Government’s first sandbox to create breakthroughs and create strong momentum for new technologies and new services to be introduced to society. If we look at the services If new services bring benefits to the people and the country, it will be very easy to put these sandboxes as a driving force for development. Whether the policy admits new things and new components to the market or does it still keep its own territory for the old ones Sandbox will create a breakthrough legal environment that dares to accept change, accept new things create new vitality of society in the trend of digital transformation,” said Mr. Vu Hoang Lien. Mobile Money: an opportunity for telecom companies The Chairman of Vietnam Internet Association emphasized that the opportunity for telecommunications companies for Mobile Money service is very clear when they have a customer base because most Vietnamese people use mobile phones. The telecommunications company’s services are also the foundation for connecting many essential services of society, so it will open up great opportunities for the development of Mobile Money services. Three major service providers, Viettel, VNPT, and MobiFone have also applied for permission to provide this service. In this race, the company that solves the management problem to bring benefits to customers will prevail. From Mr. Lien’s point of view, Viettel is slightly better than other service providers because of its large customer base and good management. However, telecommunications companies can take advantage of their strengths to attract customers, so this will be a hot market in the near future. Currently, the Government has agreed to test the Mobile Money service for 2 years, but service providers are still waiting for a license. Commenting on this delay, Mr. Mai Liem Truc, former Deputy Minister of Transport and Communications (now the Ministry of Information and Communications) said that Mobile Money was delayed by about 2 years. If this service is licensed early, it will bring many benefits to society and the economy. Mr. Truc also emphasized, Sandbox is the direction for the Government to vigorously test new technology services that bring benefits to the people and the country. “Sandbox” is a pilot institutional framework, allowing a small number of businesses, to test new technologies and new business models in a practical environment but with a defined scope and time, under the supervision of regulators and have appropriate hedging plans in place to prevent the consequences of failure without having a major impact on the national financial system. Following the government’s direction, the State Bank is currently building regulatory sandboxes for financial and banking services based on information technology, including Mobile Money.

According to Izvestia, the Udav pistol purchased by the Russian Ministry of Defense includes two main versions: a mass-use version for the army with code 6P72 and a specialized version with code 6P72-1. Udav gun. Talking about the need for a new gun model, Albert Bakov, general director of the Central Research Institute of Precision Mechanics of Russia (TsNIITOCHMASH, part of the state-owned high-tech corporation Rostec) said that Udav first and foremost needs it. Essential for mobile forces, the users of the Makarov pistol (K-59) were no longer suitable both in terms of firepower and ammunition reserves to carry. “When bad actors have access to a weapon, even if it’s illegal, so there are situations like when a law enforcement officer encounters an 18-round gun object. while this employee only has 8 bullets,” said general manager TsNIITOCHMASH. In order to increase the power of each shot of the Udav, the company has now successfully developed the most powerful ammunition model in the world for the 9x19mm pistol – the caliber of the Udav. This ammunition has the ability to penetrate level 2 bulletproof armor and at a greater range than other similar ammunition. Reliability, ease of use, and power are the main advantages of Russian pistols, and the new 9x19mm pistol also converges these characteristics, but at a higher range, according to a review from the US site National Interest. The American newspaper said that, along with the new 9x19mm gun, most experts have recognized the Udav pistol of TsNIIITOCHMASH as an invention with a number of technical improvements applied in this project. The first improvement, the design features of the barrel ensures that the “closed shutter” cannot move backwards on its own, the trigger rod cannot be moved, and the trigger is locked. The second improvement, the frame of the gun is made in the form of a special stamping die. The result is an increased product life. Next, the fact proved the high accuracy of the gun. The next revolutionary of the gun is the opening of the safety pin that ensures complete safety when handling the weapon. Even if the loaded pistol is directly hit with the trigger, no “trigger snatching” will occur. In particular, the gun is very convenient in close combat, ensuring maneuverability and fast reloading. The gun can be held securely with wet hands, when wearing gloves and allows comfortable shooting with either right or left hand. The Udav gun reloads very quickly: as soon as the cartridge is empty, the barrel lock is retained and the empty magazine is ejected with the push of a button on the handle. As soon as the new magazine is inserted, the first bullet will automatically reload and can be fired immediately. In addition, special patents are granted for silencers with replaceable heat-absorbing modules (special forces version), for cartridges and ammunition. The Udav pistol is capable of using all 9x21mm ammunition.

Illustration. If the universe is filled with matter but there is no force of interaction between them, there would be no formation of nuclei, atoms, molecules… and galaxies, stars and planets. Basic interactions of nature Electromagnetic interaction or electromagnetic force is the interaction between charged particles, for example protons with the same positive charge repel each other, but attract electrons because electrons have a negative charge. This interaction is not only a matter of attraction or repulsion of the magnet poles due to the excess or lack of electrons, but the most important thing is that it is the attractive properties of this proton and electron that the electron can keep its orbit around the atomic nucleus. , and thus the atoms, molecules and, more generally, all the matter we see every day, that make us up. Electromagnetic interactions are transmitted by bosons or photons, or as we know them as light-transmitting particles. Light is precisely an electromagnetic wave of the right wavelength to produce images on the retina of the human eye. The photon itself has neither mass nor charge, it only plays the role of transmitting electromagnetic interactions through its oscillation frequency. The frictional force generated when one object slides over another is due to the electromagnetic interaction of the atomic particles of the contact surface, the elastic force of a spring or the tension of a string is also an electromagnetic interaction due to the change in the surface area. changing the distances of the atoms from each other leads to a change in the magnitude of the interaction from the initial steady state, the force produced by muscles when you lift a heavy object or any other movement that is elastic muscle bundles, so of course there’s also an electromagnetic interaction… Strong interaction (also known as strong nuclear force). The interaction is caused by bosons called gluons – a type of particle with no mass and no charge. This is the bonding interaction between quarks, the main components of the two types of baryons, protons and neutrons, which as we know are the particles that make up the nucleus of an atom. It is thanks to this type of interaction that new baryons are formed and also bind the protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus together (protons carry the same charge, so they generate an electromagnetic force that repels each other, thanks to the presence of electrons). neutrons, so the nucleus of an atom can exist). The strong interaction is the strongest of the basic interactions of nature, but it also has the shortest range of effects. Simulation of forces in the universe. Outside the radius of the atomic nucleus, the strong interaction does not work and of course that is also the reason why matter can exist today because with the magnitude of this interaction it can act. As far as the electromagnetic interaction goes, there will be no existence of atoms with electron shells because they will be crushed by the attraction between the nuclei themselves (because this force is much stronger than the electromagnetic repulsion). between nuclei). The weak interaction (or weak nuclear force) plays a role in causing beta decay of neutrons, thereby causing nuclear decay such as radiation and fission. The neutrons themselves are unstable in isolation, they are stable only when bound to protons. Stand-alone, neutrons can absorb or emit W or Z bosons and undergo beta decay to form a proton, an electron, and a neutron fraction. The nuclei of heavy elements have many protons and, respectively, require many neutrons to keep the protons from repelling each other. But at the same time when there are many neutrons, there will be neutrons isolated from the proton, out of the range of the strong interaction. Then the weak interaction causes them to decay and make the nucleus unstable. Elements whose nuclei have this phenomenon are called radioactive elements. The heavier the nucleus, the more unstable it is, and so the weak interaction is what keeps the number of elements in the universe finite, not infinite. Standard model of particle physics These three types of interactions are now uniformly described in the standard model of particle physics. According to the standard model, at sufficiently high energies, these interactions are consistent, although as already stated they appear to be very different in mechanism. In the cosmological model based on the Big Bang theory, the first stage of the universe from the age of the universe is 10–43s to the time of 20-36s the universe undergoes a period known as the great unification epoch. , in which the three types of interactions mentioned above have not been separated from each other. Immediately after the great unification era is the electroweak era, when the strong interaction has separated but the remaining two interactions are still united, called the electroweak interaction. It wasn’t until the quark era, when the age of the universe was 10-12s, that the universe cooled down enough for the electromagnetic and weak interactions to separate. Illustration. Gravitational interaction (or gravity) Interactions tend to pull objects and particles of mass toward each other. This is the weakest of the four basic interactions of nature on a certain object, but it is the one with the furthest range of effects. It plays a major role in forming the great structures of the universe, from stars, planets, asteroids, satellites to galaxies, clusters and superclusters of galaxies. The Earth and the planets revolve around the Sun also due to the effect of this type of interaction. Despite being the weakest force, gravity has not only the longest range, but also an unstoppable force, every man-made weightless environment or gravitation-isolating material in sci-fi movies. thought is unscientific. It cannot happen not because of technology but because of the general principle of the universe. For the same reason, gravity is also the force that causes the most violent phenomena in the universe, typically the collapse of matter to form neutron stars or black holes and supermassive black holes. In this phenomenon, thanks to the large amount of matter, the gravitational force is enough to overcome the electromagnetic force and the strong interaction causes the structure of matter to be destroyed. Gravity is very common to everyday life as we can stand on the ground and objects that are thrown high fall because of gravity. Some so-called forces, such as the resistance of the ground when you are standing on it or the Archimedes earth force in a liquid, are just indirect manifestations of gravity. The reason this universal force is mentioned last in the article is because it is the only one of the four fundamental interactions of nature that is not included in the standard model. Is there a fifth fundamental interaction? The existence of a fifth interaction of nature is still believed by many scientists, especially since the presence of dark matter has been confirmed. To date, there have been a number of experiments showing the involvement of a strange variation that was thought to be such a small interaction that has never been known. But so far, the fifth interaction has not been described in any way. Thus, the number of fundamental interactions of nature is still only four, with three unified in the standard model and gravitational interactions standing independently of them.

TOP (BIGBANG) When he auditioned for YG Entertainment, TOP weighed up to 100kg and he was rejected because he was too big. To lose weight quickly, the rapper of BIGBANG only eats Yanggeang – a jelly made from red beans. Not only that, TOP also completely cut down on starch, sugar, and fat and even drank only filtered water to forget the feeling of hunger. The extreme diet helped TOP lose 20kg in 4 weeks. Sharing his feelings about his arduous weight loss process, the male rapper said he would never try again. (Photo: Internet) TOP at the peak of his career – perfect body without any excess fat.

Fans couldn’t help but worry about Jimin’s health during the time he was practicing choreography while fasting. However, the male idol himself also said that he will never go on a diet like that again. (Photo: Internet)

The warship INS Kolkata of the Indian Navy transported 40 tons of liquid oxygen, oxygen tanks, and oxygen concentrators from Kuwait and Qatar to the port of Mangalore (ANI). Until the morning of May 10, transport aircraft of the Indian Air Force had made 534 flights across the country transporting 336 oxygen tanks with a total capacity of 6,420 tons and other medical supplies and equipment. This emergency air bridge connects 22 cities in India, helping to relieve the need for medical oxygen for the treatment of Covid-19 patients. The Indian Air Force has also made 84 flights abroad, receiving and transporting 81 cryogenic oxygen tanks with a total capacity of 1,407 tons along with empty oxygen tanks, oxygen generators– xy and Zeolite (a compound to make oxygen). India has ordered or received gifts of these devices and materials from Singapore, Dubai, Thailand, UK, Germany, Belgium, Australia, Indonesia and Israel. The Indian Navy also launched an emergency transport operation called ‘Samudra Setu II’, aiming to bring essential medical goods home as quickly as possible. Seven ships of this country’s Navy are being mobilized to carry out the work. The Indian Air Force has also established an essential medical supplies coordination committee to maintain information continuity and reduce time delays in the distribution of relief supplies from abroad.

House made of 3D printing technology in the Netherlands. The Dutch couple are the first tenants of a house built with 3D printing technology in Europe. Experts believe that this unique design will open up a multitude of choices about the shape and style of future homes. Elize Lutz, 70 and Harrie Dekkers, 67 – two retired shop owners from Amsterdam – just received the house’s digital key on May 6. This key is an application that allows them to open the door with the touch of a button. “It is beautiful and feels safe” – 2 grandparents commented. “When I looked at the design, I saw it as a garden in a fairy tale” – Mrs. Lutz said. Inspired by the shape of a rock, this house would be difficult and expensive to build using traditional methods. This is the first 3D-designed house out of five planned by the construction company Saint-Gobain Weber Beamix for the site next to the Beatrix Canal in the Bosrijk suburb of Eindhoven. In the last two years, real estate built in part with 3D printing technology has appeared in France and the US. These nascent projects are also slowly growing around the world. But with an area of ​​94 square meters, this 3D house in the Netherlands is said to be a remarkable stand-out from its rivals when it is legally allowed to live inside. The Dutch couple is very pleased with their new home. Mr. Bas Huysmans – CEO of Weber Benelux – said: “This is also the first project that is 100% authorized by the local government and there are people who really want to pay to live in it”. The 3D printing method involves a giant robotic arm with a special formulation of a cement nozzle. Cement will be “printed” out according to the architect’s design layer after layer until a wall has enough bearing capacity. This nozzle will be replaced after hours of operation like an ink printer. That change also shows up on the walls of the house, like a small error in the cement printing process. Although in its infancy, the method of building houses with 3D printing has been evaluated by many in the construction industry as a solution to reduce costs and harm the environment by reducing the amount of cement used. In the Netherlands, this is also an alternative in the shortage of skilled masons. The cement stains on the walls of the house are caused by changing the nozzle of the cement after a few hours of operation. This 3D house consists of 24 concrete details, printed layer by layer in a factory in Eindhoven before being transported to the construction site by truck. It is based on a foundation made by Dutch construction company Van Wijinen. After that, the roof and window frames were installed and finished. For future homes, it is hoped that the construction will be done entirely on site. Another advantage of the house is that it prints in just 120 hours. “If we only print once and finish it, it will take less than 5 days. Because, the big benefit of the printer is that there is no need to eat, sleep or rest. If we start tomorrow, the next house will be completed in 5 days, ”said Mr. Huysmans.

According to the latest reports, the number of F-35 fighters in service with the US Air Force, now surpassing all other aircraft of this force, rose to second place – after injections. click F-16. Specifically, with a squadron of F-35 fighters up to 283 aircraft, the number of F-35s of the US Air Force has surpassed both the F-15 and F-10 – two types of backbone aircraft of this force. throughout the decades. The single-engine F-16 fighter with the advantage of low maintenance costs and low operating costs is still the most popular fighter in the US Air Force. Specifically, the US Air Force owns 934 F-16 fighters. This number of F-16s will be gradually replaced by F-35 fighter jets in the future. Designed to be a mixed-attack fighter and strike aircraft, the US F-35 is capable of replacing all other fighters currently in service with this force. However, while the F-35 is being finalized and corrected for hundreds of defects, it still cannot become the backbone of the US Air Force at the present time. In fact, the heavy F-15 fighter jets still have a dominant position in the US Air Force’s bombardments if there is a war. The latest version of the F-15 is the F-15EX, which was rushed into service by this force shortly after making its first flight earlier this year. It is expected that until the 40s of this century, the F-15 will still serve in the US Air Force. As for the A-10 fighter jet, this type of aircraft that is nearly half a century old is still considered “without a worthy substitute”. The failure of the US Air Force to develop a serial version of the A-10 is simply because the aircraft is currently too efficient, and effective enough, until the F-35 comes into its own. future. Up to the present time, the US Air Force owns 279 A-10 Warthog attack aircraft in service. However, only about 60% of these are qualified to fight, the rest need constant revolving maintenance. The US Air Force expects the entire A-10 strike group to be phased out gradually from 2032, even sooner if there are serious accidents in the future. By that point, the F-35 would have to be completed to take the place of the A-10. Photo source: BI. The US is producing F-35 fighters at breakneck speed, both for domestic service and for delivery to allied countries as planned. Source: Chosul.

With dozens of Covid-19 positive cases being discovered every day, many solutions such as localization, tracing of suspected infected people, vaccination, community immunization, … have been deployed to limit the spread of the disease. However, unlike other pandemics, Covid-19 is showing that this is not just a common pandemic. With many variations and outbreaks, the prevention of Covid-19 is a long battle and requires the participation of the whole society. This fact shows that non-traditional anti-epidemic solutions are needed. Anti-epidemic technology is the most optimal choice today for the society to function normally. People harvest agricultural products in the epidemic heart in Hai Duong. Photo: Trong Dat To meet the urgent requirements of epidemic prevention and control, the Ministry of Information and Communications has issued the document “Instructions on the use of Covid-19 support solutions to prevent, combat and trace in the community”. Accordingly, in order to combat epidemics with technology, localities need to combine many different solutions. These solutions included the implementation of the installation of Bluezone (the application of warning for close contact with suspected Covid-19) and NCOVI (voluntary medical declaration management system). Localities also need to deploy the system to record people coming and going to public places through QR code scanning and epidemic prevention map system. For places with airports and border gates, these localities need to make electronic medical declaration for people entering. What is the effectiveness of anti-epidemic technology by technology? According to experts, technology solutions such as Bluezone applications can only achieve high efficiency if they are used by more than 60% of the population. Recognition of the developer shows that, as of March 2021, more than 30 million people used Bluezone applications. Considering the actual implementation efficiency, during the 2nd Covid-19 outbreak (July 25, 2020) in Hai Duong, with the proportion of people who installed Bluezone being 27%, 1,035 was identified in this locality. F1, F2. Many recommendations have been made by authorities about people should install Bluezone application to receive warnings in case of contact with suspected Covid-19. Photo: Trong Dat In the second outbreak on January 27, 2021 in Hai Duong, the rate of installing Bluezone applications was 43% of the total population of the province. As a result, the system has traced 1,993 F1 and F2 cases. It is noteworthy that by doing this, the health agency found 17 positive cases outside the list of traditional epidemiological investigations. With the successes and experiences gained in Hai Duong, Bluezone is considered as the most effective measure for effective zoning, helping to maintain the status of an isolated house, the whole society can still operate normally. With NCOVI application, as of February 3, 2021, the number of NCOVI applications installed was 7.8 million. The number of medical declaration records for the entire population is 18 million, the number of updated health monitoring records is 52.95 million, the number of scan records of QR code is 7.25 million. Medical declarations are basic input so that health agencies can keep informed about the health situation of each citizen. The large collection of medical manifest data also makes it possible for authorities to immediately detect a large-scale Covid-19 outbreak. Citizens are encouraged to make electronic medical declarations at least 1 time per day. Recently, Vietnam is using another solution, which is to check in to save epidemiological landmarks with QR codes. With this measure, people need to scan QR codes to check in every time they go to public places. In the event that a person is determined positive for Covid-19, the authorities will base on the history of scanning the QR code of the person to filter out the “epidemiological landmarks” that the patient has joined or went to. for a period of 3 days before onset of illness. Those who have arrived at the “epidemiological milestones” during the time the patient checked in will be listed for the investigator to trace, from which the F1s will be identified. Workers at the aluminum mine in Lam Dong perform check-in by QR code upon arrival at the workplace. According to the representative of Bkav – Bluezone application development unit, the measure of checking in public places helps to quickly track outbreak places such as restaurants and markets. In addition, the regular check-in by QR code on Bluezone also helps to increase the efficiency of contact recognition. Storing “epidemiological landmarks” by QR code, tracing suspected infected persons by Bluezone and medical declaration on NCOVI will form a set of tools to help early detection, effective localization and limit the spread of the epidemic. This is how Make in Vietnam digital technologies creep and solve problems in life.

VinSmart stops producing phones and televisions On May 9, Vingroup officially announced that VinSmart would stop producing TVs and smartphones to focus resources on developing IoT products and Infotainment features for VinFast cars. Sharing the main reason why VinSmart made such a decision, Mr. Nguyen Viet Quang, Vice President and General Director of Vingroup said: “The production of smart phones or smart TVs has no longer brought breakthrough possibilities, Meanwhile, the development of smart cars, smart homes, smart cities brings many benefits and outstanding experiences. force for this spike “. VinSmart factories will continue to produce existing phones and TVs until the end of the product’s life cycle to supply the market. Then part of the factory will be used to outsource to partners, while the rest is expanded to adjust to produce new products. With products sold to the market, VinSmart said it will maintain the warranty and customer care as committed. Vsmart phones sold to the market are still upgraded and updated with software. After stopping production of smartphones, TVs, VinSmart will focus on developing information – entertainment – service (Infotainment) features; research, design and manufacture of electronic components, battery cell systems, complete electric batteries, electric motors for VinFast cars. At the same time, VinSmart still retains research on smart cities, smart homes and IoT devices. VinSmart’s smart home solution appeared at a major urban exhibition late last year and has been operated in two major urban areas, Vinhomes Smart City and Vinhomes Ocean Park. VinSmart retains its research on smart cities, smart homes and IoT devices. Its most prominent smartphone products are Vsmart Joy 3, Vsmart Live 4, phone with front camera hidden under the Vsmart Aris Pro screen. In the TV segment, VinSmart has two main lines of 4K resolution: high-end KE and mid-range KD, with sizes from 43 to 55 inches, priced from VND8.7 million.

This is a microcosm of digital village construction in Lishui District, Nanjing. In November 2019, with the approval of the State Council, the Nanjing Baima National Agricultural Science and Technology Park covering the entire Baima Town was upgraded to the Jiangsu Nanjing National Agricultural High-tech Industry Demonstration Zone (referred to as “Nanjing National Agricultural High-tech Zone”). So far, digital technology has been in the entire village. Become a frequent visitor during construction. In the entire process of Baima Town’s digital construction, China Mobile has played an indispensable role. It is reported that in April 2020, Nanjing Mobile and Nanjing National Agricultural High-tech Zone signed a strategic cooperation agreement on 5G + green and smart agriculture. According to the content of the agreement, Nanjing Nonggao District was listed as China Mobile’s joint innovation base, and actively promoted and displayed China Mobile’s 5G+ agriculture, 5G+ manufacturing, 5G+ tourism and other related information services, and jointly promoted the results of cooperation between the two parties. In September 2020, Nanjing Mobile and the Baima Town Government jointly launched the “Digital Village Project in Baima Town, Lishui District”. The introduction is becoming a new driving force to activate rural revitalization. Digital technology enables smarter agricultural construction As the saying goes: “Food is the heaven for the people.” Food comes from agriculture and is the basis for humans and other living things to survive. In today’s rapidly changing society with more and more abundant material conditions, agriculture is still one of the productive forces that we cannot ignore. Relying on science and technology to realize the modernization and intelligence of agriculture, that is, the realization of smart agriculture has also become an inevitable part. For the Baima Town government, information technology now opens up new ideas for its agricultural development and makes it smarter. In the command center, we see the intelligent management of agriculture based on the digital agriculture cloud platform. It is reported that the digital agriculture cloud platform includes GIS digital farm application system, information management application system, Internet of Things application system, production management application system, and full-chain traceability application system, which can effectively realize the digital transformation and upgrade of the local cash crop industry. Among them, the GIS digital farm application system is composed of two subsystem modules: GIS digital farm and GIS resource planning. According to the staff, “Based on the spatial geographic information system, it gathers various data on farm production and operation, environmental monitoring, and agricultural operations, and displays the current farm production and operation conditions in a panoramic and full process, the dynamic changes of the farmland greenhouse environment, the growth of crops, the occurrence of diseases and insect pests, etc. Situation. Realize real-time control and supervision of agricultural production conditions, real-time dispatch and management of farm personnel, and improve technical services and management efficiency.” The information management application system is composed of six subsystem modules: enterprise management, farm management, plot management, facility management, personnel management, and variety management. It realizes the standardization, scientification and modernization of farm management and improves the overall management efficiency of the farm. The Internet of Things application system consists of 7 subsystem modules: environmental monitoring, pest monitoring, video monitoring, stem monitoring, smart greenhouse, water and fertilizer integration, and equipment management. Farm managers can understand the farm crop growth environment and early warning information in real time through the system. , At the same time, intelligently analyze the collected data, link greenhouse equipment, water and fertilizer equipment to realize intelligent and automatic control, and improve the overall production efficiency of the farm. The production management application system includes six subsystem modules: production plan management, agricultural management, agricultural material management, harvest management, processing management, and inspection management. It helps the farm realize the standardized production operation management of crop planting, and the farm management personnel formulate the production plan through the system/ Agricultural operations are issued to the operators of the farm divisions in the form of tasks. The operators receive the tasks through the mobile terminal, execute the tasks according to the plan requirements, and submit the operation records. Work records will be displayed directly on the platform and compared with the plan. The full-chain traceability application system includes two subsystem modules: agricultural product traceability management and trace source code management. The system collects the full-link data from production to sales, and displays the node data of the production process to end consumers. The platform ensures the accuracy and non-modification of data through technical means, and enhances the credibility of the platform. Through the monitoring and analysis of big data, a good closed-loop data cycle can be formed. In addition to providing consumers with agricultural product safety information, it can also open up communication channels between enterprises and consumers, and consumers’ voices can be fed back to enterprises. , Companies can better provide consumers with quality services. Facilitate government supervision and consumer inquiries to trace back the planting production process, and further enhance the government’s supervision of the entire ecological chain of agricultural products and the building of agricultural products brand. In terms of outdoor facilities, the camera-type insect light can use remote photography to realize real-time pest monitoring, and combine plant protection experts and artificial intelligence analysis of pests to achieve green prevention and control of crop pests; spore traps provide for predicting and preventing disease epidemics and infections Reliable data, plant protection experts and artificial intelligence analyze the damage of disease spores, scientifically guide the development of crop disease prevention and control; 5G UAV plant protection improves spraying efficiency, etc. These advanced equipment can effectively guarantee the yield and quality of crops. Not only that, it is conducive to 5G+VR technology to set up remote teaching classrooms in the Zhongzhi Institute, combined with the resources of agricultural experts and professors of scientific research units, while teaching agricultural knowledge in the classrooms, farmers in remote villages can watch the lessons in the classroom in real time through VR glasses . Digital technology helps rural governance to be smarter “Digital Village” landed in Lixiang Village, Shitouzhai Community, Baima Town, Lishui District, Nanjing City. As a pilot of rural digital governance in Lishui District, because of its unique and profound red culture, it has attracted a large number of tourists to visit and learn. Relying on technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, blockchain, artificial intelligence, and 5G, Jiangsu Mobile has launched a 5G Internet of Things platform and a two-way traceability system for agricultural products to assist in the construction of a map of village affairs, a map of Lixiang resources, and a red Lixiang A picture to create a comprehensive information display platform to supervise and display the operation of the rural digital governance platform. At the same time, it is equipped with VR live broadcast and guide, Vlog internet celebrity clocking machine, smart dock, smart manhole cover, smart zebra crossing, water quality monitoring, meteorology Basic intelligent facilities such as stations. Taking the smart tourism system in the digital village platform as an example, we can strengthen the construction of 5G networks, 5G+AR tour guides, Internet celebrity check-ins, smart sensors and other information infrastructure service facilities for the hot spots of Red Li Lane, and build in business collaboration and data sharing In terms of achieving “transparent” smart scenic spots and smart tourism, it provides services such as real-time heat, source of passenger flow, passenger flow trend, and emergency warning. In Red Li Lane, the reporter also experienced it in real time. We have seen that in the whole process, through face recognition, trajectory tracking and other algorithms, the reporter is always the focus of follow-up, and blurs other characters in the whole picture, connects scenic spots with moving lines, and generates star-like follow-up VLog. , Very nice. Provide excellent autonomous driving test services Within the industrial new city of Lishui Economic Development Zone, Nanjing, Jiangsu Mobile deployed a vehicle-road collaboration network and autonomous driving test infrastructure to build a semi-closed controlled test road for autonomous driving technology and advanced driver assistance function testing. Increase the complexity of the traffic environment on public test roads, improve the test level for intelligent networked vehicles, and provide a wealth of vehicle-road collaboration and autonomous driving test services for Lishui and new energy vehicle companies across the country. A total of 5 kilometers of intelligent networked vehicle test roads, covering 5G communication network, Beidou differential positioning, C-V2X vehicle-road coordination, micro-environmental weather, semi-closed test environment and other infrastructure facilities, introduce professional teams to establish operating companies and establish intelligent networks Lian Automotive’s comprehensive testing and evaluation system continues to provide test subjects with rich and diversified application scenarios testing and R&D testing services such as operational safety, C-V2X, industry applications, and special traffic environments. We see that with the support of information technology such as 5G and Internet of Things, the beautiful blueprint for the planning of Baima Town in Lishui District is accelerating to become a reality, and Baima Town will also usher in leapfrog development. In this process, China Mobile will fully implement the requirements of the Baima Town development strategy, give full play to the active role of state-owned enterprises in technological innovation, accelerate breakthroughs in new generation information technology innovations such as 5G, and inject new momentum into the coordinated economic development of Baima Town in Lishui District .

According to the new decision, VinSmart will stop the development of televisions and mobile phones, and switch to the development of smart features on vehicles and houses. Before this unexpected information, the public’s opinion was a lot of turmoil. Especially for those who regularly support Vietnamese goods, this is quite sad news. PT readers shared: “Vin has too many embraces. It’s the brightest hour in the car segment, so I hit hard. Unfortunately, Vsmart is okay but cheap. ” Many people feel sad when they lose a low-cost phone company created by Vietnam. In another aspect, many people think that this is the right decision because the current smartphone and television market is saturated, with very little space for development and competition. In addition, Chinese phone companies are also increasingly appearing in the Vietnamese market, making competitiveness in the industry on the rise. The public also commented that, because the business is right there, when Vingroup could not acquire LG, R & D was weak, at this point, the exit strategy is a good strategy. Everything is two-way, when there are many people expressing quite negative emotions to receive this information, there is a part of the public still acknowledging and appreciating what Vsmart has done for the time. by. For example, readers NM from Hanoi shared that: “Vsmart’s mission is like that, it is already complete. I do not know how sales, profit or loss, but thanks to Vsmart, the Vin brand has also reached all classes of users in the country, as a springboard for Vinfast to be born. Information about the warranty of VinSmart phones. In particular, many people have the same question: “Are Vinsmart buyers still under warranty?” Answering this question, Vingroup said that, regarding the products sold to the market, VinSmart commits to maintain the warranty, repair, and care as committed until the date that the customer no longer uses it. more products. In particular, a part of the phone software design department continues to research to upgrade and update Vsmart phones that have been sold to the market. “

According to China’s Sina site, owning an air force ready to fight requires the state to pay huge costs, something not every country can do. “Any country that intends to build its own air force must have a solid economic foundation, otherwise they will not be able to maintain a fleet of fighter aircraft,” Sina said. clear. Chinese military experts noted that the Flanker-class fighters were the main foundation of the country’s air force, and they tried to enumerate the factors that influence the cost of the flight. The first indicator to take into account is the fuel consumption, which is influenced by the fuselage weight and the weapon’s weight. Besides, there is also the flight mode (at a lower fuel consumption rate as opposed to tactical maneuvering); engine model (consumption increase is proportional to engine power); pilot skills. The Su-27 Flanker is used as an example. The total weight of fuel carried by the aircraft is 9.7 tons. At the same time an aviation fuel specific gravity of 0.85 will result in a fuel volume of 11,200 liters. “In a normal flight, the Su-27 in cruise mode, excluding maneuvers, fuel consumption per hour is 3,750 liters, its flight time is 3 hours”. If you calculate that with the current jet fuel price of 6,500 yuan per ton ($ 990), the Su-27’s one-hour flight time will cost 63,000 yuan ($ 9,590), “Sina said. just the most economic state “. If we take into account take-off time and the pilot’s tactical actions, fuel consumption increases by at least three times, or about 200,000 yuan per hour ($ 30,400), Sina said. Given this fact, the Chinese newspaper argues that average countries simply cannot have a large-scale Air Force, if one takes into account these factors. In addition to the amount of fuel consumption, the purchase of ready-made fighters abroad requires the payment of tens of millions of dollars per aircraft, possibly hundreds of millions of dollars. After solving the problem of purchasing combat vehicles (including accompanying weapons), it is necessary to continue investing in the maintenance, maintenance, construction of ground infrastructure and pilot training. “The money to maintain a large number of fighters is extremely expensive. But without its own air force, any country in the modern world could be plundered by the opponent”, Sina confirmed. However, the Chinese newspaper also noted that the flight on the Su-27 is not the culmination of costs, as an hour of flight of the F-35 stealth fighter is estimated at $ 36,000, even though it is only a single engine. The aforementioned amount is mainly calculated into the depreciation cost of machinery or the wear and tear of stealth coating, guaranteed weapons, showing that owning the fifth generation fighter is still a dream of many countries.

Railroad Minister Piyush Goyal said the government was directing an increase in express trains carrying medical oxygen to New Delhi to meet shortages in hospitals. The Air Force has also been deployed to help transport manpower and medical supplies, such as oxygen tanks, to the areas needed. Pictured are empty oxygen tanks transported by transport aircraft C-17 and IL-76 to the production plant. Photo: ANI. The convoy of tank trucks went to the supply plant to refill liquid medical oxygen, amid a wave of Covid-19 spreading across India. In the past 24 hours, India continued to record a record number of new infections: 354,531 – the highest level in the world and also the highest in this country ever. Photo: Reuters. The lack of oxygen in New Delhi hospitals has many causes. The industrial oxygen production plants that mainly serve the Indian capital are located in seven different states. In addition, due to the flammable nature of this material, all liquid oxidation shipments must be transported in specialized tanks; So it takes a long time to plan the shipping. Some localities even make it difficult to transport oxygen first, to meet local demand. Photo: Reuters. Vans carrying oxygen tanks are waiting outside the factory in Ghaziabad, a suburb of New Delhi, India, on April 22. A high court in the capital on April 24 warned that anyone would “hang” from obstructing the circulation of oxygen supplies. On Twitter, one person described the scene of a police car escorting an oxygen tank “a scene no one thought they would ever see in life. More precious than gold”. Photo: Reuters.

General McKenzie also reiterated the US military’s concern that the withdrawal could facilitate the Taliban increased operations in Afghanistan. He is concerned about the Afghan military’s ability to maintain the current situation without the support it has had for many years. He warns the Taliban are now bigger than 2011, estimated at 50,000 fighters, and control more areas in Afghanistan than they did 10 years ago. Previously, President Joe Biden announced that the US – the country with the largest soldiers stationed in Afghanistan – would withdraw all remaining troops in Afghanistan before 9/11, 20 years after the series of attacks. Al-Qaeda’s father sparked a protracted US war in this southwest Asian country. US allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) have also agreed to withdraw their troops from Afghanistan according to the US withdrawal route. The war in Afghanistan left 2,400 US soldiers dead and cost the country an estimated $ 2 trillion. At the peak, the number of US troops in Afghanistan once reached 100,000 people in 2011. Currently the number of NATO troops in Afghanistan is about 9,600 people, of which the US has 2,500 soldiers and Germany has 1,100 soldiers.

You can be the best technology company without working overtime.

The employees are so “lazy” and Microsoft is so rich and can lead innovation. This is unreasonable!

【1】

In 2008, Zhang Yiming served as the manager of Kuxun, with 40 employees under his hand, which made him feel that he was in a management bottleneck. So he crossed mountains and rivers and became a Microsoft employee.

Zhang Yiming originally intended to learn about the management of large companies, but chose to leave after only half a year. Speaking of his time at Microsoft, he used two words to describe it: boring.

“Half-day work, half-day reading, work without many challenges.” Zhang Yiming said.

It’s not just Zhang Yiming who thinks that Microsoft’s work is too easy and boring.

A friend once said, “The group that just joined Microsoft is too idle. Basically, the group leader rarely sees it. Every once in a while, he talks about skiing and other entertainment.”

Later, the friend transferred to another group because he thought the job was too idle and affected his personal career development. And the status of another busy working group is like this: 10 mornings and 5 nights every day, a seven-hour work day, and the highest local hourly wage.

▲The picture comes from the Internet

In the IT circle, Microsoft, Intel, and EMC are known as the “three major nursing homes”, where work is idle and employees are “lazy”.

In 2020, Microsoft Japan announced that the four-day shift will have three days off, and the collective start “Three Rest System” .This week, Microsoft’s LinkedIn announced that all employees are paid Take a week off, It is not a statutory holiday, nor is it to circumvent labor supervision, but just to be happy.

Microsoft also allows some employees to work freely at home on a regular basis, not more than 50% of the working time per week. If the manager approves, you can even work remotely permanently. Microsoft will pay for home office expenses for employees who work remotely permanently. It’s okay to work at home for a long time and want to go back to the office. Microsoft has temporary office space available at any time.

▲Microsoft’s hardware laboratory in Redmond, Washington, USA, allows working from home

However, the lazy Microsoft has created amazing performance.

Microsoft’s current market capitalization is US$1.93 trillion, which is equivalent to three Alibaba (US$661.8 billion) and five byte beats (US$400 billion). With another 5% rise, the technology giant may join Apple’s ranks and join the $2 trillion market capitalization club.

In fact, on February 11, 2020, Microsoft once surpassed Apple to become the world’s most valuable technology company.

Microsoft has the highest market share of traditional operating systems and office software, both at over 97%; its innovative business cloud computing, AR business and game business also continue to lead.

In terms of cloud computing, 95% of Fortune 500 companies use Microsoft’s Microsoft Azure intelligent cloud service.

In terms of AR, Microsoft received a $22 billion order at the beginning of this month. The IDC report shows that the scale of global AR market-related expenditures will reach a compound annual growth rate of 54% during the five-year forecast period from 2020 to 2024, exceeding US$70 billion.

In terms of games, Microsoft is also one of the world’s three major console game brands, and its Xbox console market share is close to one-third, reaching 26%; PC games are even the only one.

In March 2020, Microsoft acquired Zenimax Media, the parent company of the well-known gaming giant B. Company B has many world-renowned 3A masterpieces such as “The Elder Scrolls”, “Radiation”, and “Humiliation”, which have a huge influence in the game industry. The acquisition of Microsoft caused industry turmoil, and even attracted a joint review by the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the European Union.

▲Microsoft exclusive game

This leads to a question: Why is Microsoft so lazy, so successful and competitive? Can still lead innovation?

Scolding employees for throwing their mobile phones and recording their license plates to prevent leaving early, Microsoft has not always been a “good man” in corporate governance.

In the early stage of entrepreneurship, Microsoft was not friendly to employees. Employees not only need high-intensity work, but also face the dilemma of being insulted by their personality anytime and anywhere; in the mid-term growth stage, Microsoft has encountered many antitrust investigations, failed to enter the Internet, and high performance pressure, which has caused its requirements for employees to become more severe; In the later stage of business transformation, in addition to shooting negative advertisements for competitors, Microsoft also smashed its employees’ mobile phones on the hot search list.

In an interview on BBC’s “Desert Island Records” program, Bill Gates admitted that in the early days of Microsoft’s founding, I am “very enthusiastic about work”, which is an unfortunate thing for my colleagues.

Microsoft was just established in 1975, and the company is still in its infancy, with only a few employees.

In order to improve efficiency, Bill Gates not only turned himself upside down day and night, lived in the company, did not change his clothes for a few weeks, but also imposed his almost crazy work habits on his employees. For a while, Bill Gates even relied on recording employee license plates to control employees’ working hours and prevent them from arriving late and leaving early.

“I know everyone’s license plate, so just look at the parking lot, you can know the employee’s commuting time.” Bill Gates said.

▲It is mentioned in the documentary “Decoding Bill Gates” that although he is very busy, he still has two major interests in his spare time: road racing and watching striptease.

Bill Gates is not a human being at work, but in his opinion, one of his clients is even more cruel and inhumane, even workaholics can’t stand it. That person was the famous Apple founder Jobs.

At that time, Apple 2 needed a set of office software. Bill Gates got up early to write the earliest Office software such as Word and Excel for him, but he was often urged by Jobs.

Gates’ evaluation of Jobs is “very enthusiastic about work” and “strictly demanding of me.”

When workaholics encounter people who work hard for their lives, especially when both of them are founders of technology companies, their employees suffer.

According to “Silicon Valley Legend”, Jobs had a grumpy attitude toward employees in the early days, and he also pitted some stocks of co-founder Woznick.

Bill Gates participates in the product review board, swearing for pleasure, and employees even use the number of times he says “fxxk” as a basis for evaluating whether his product design can pass smoothly.

Microsoft engineer Polski wrote about Bill Gates in his blog:

“He didn’t really want to review your design, he just wanted to make sure that you have control over it. According to his usual standards, he will ask harder and harder questions until you admit that you don’t know, and then he can scold you. Unprepared. If you can answer the hardest question he asked, what will happen next? No one really knows. Because no one has ever done this.”

Bill Gates scolds people equally, not only scolding employees, but also co-founder Steve Ballmer. In the multiple work emails exposed by the media, the dialogue between Bill Gates and Ballmer can be described as “violent speech.”

Under the influence of curse culture, especially after Ballmer took over as Microsoft CEO, he also became hysterical.

In Seattle in September 2009, it was dry and dry. Microsoft is experiencing failure to replace Windows Vista, Windows Mobile is suppressed by Google and Apple’s mobile operating systems, and even music players such as Zune cannot sell iPods. What’s more disturbing is that Microsoft, which is jealous of Apple iPhone, released two generations of multimedia mobile phones Kin1 and Kin2 within a year, and sold a total of exaggerated…500 units in the life cycle.

On September 14 of that year, Ballmer smashed an employee’s mobile phone at an internal Microsoft meeting.

At that time, Ballmer had just entered the venue, he was alive and kicking as before. But when he saw someone taking pictures with an iPhone, Ballmer rushed to grab the iPhone, laughed at it, and threw it on the ground, trampling it with his feet.

Ballmer has also thrown chairs at employees, and even yelled at Google because an executive switched to Google: “I want to bury Google CEO Eric Schmidt alive! I want to eliminate Google!”

The irritable culture has also continued into the professional habits of Microsoft employees, so that during the upgrade of Microsoft’s Windows 10 Dev Build 21313, the engineer wrote on the update page: “Configuring update, please don’t turn off the computer”.

Today, when Bill Gates has become a benevolent old man, he has begun to reflect on his relationship with employees:

“I must remind myself that my standards can no longer be used to require employees to work hard.”

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants took the shade. Microsoft’s 50-year history, from the disaster of corporate governance to the current “professional pensioners”, is not so much that Microsoft actively chooses to seek benefits for employees, but it is actually forced.

According to the research of historian Thomas McGraw, 4227 American companies merged into 257 from 1897 to 1904. By 1904, about 318 trusts controlled two-fifths of the nation’s manufacturing assets. Since then, the United States has experienced three waves of anti-monopoly, and each anti-monopoly has promoted the improvement of employee welfare and the level of corporate governance, and at the same time promoted new technological progress.

In the first wave of anti-monopoly in 1890, the United States promulgated the “Sherman Antitrust Act.” A batch of trusts such as Rockefeller and the Morgan family were split up. New companies such as Ford and Chevrolet were able to develop at the time. “Wait for the implementation of the system.

In the second wave of antitrust in 1970, telecommunications giants such as IBM and AT&T were punished and almost split up. The two companies have respectively released monopoly technology to the market and corrected vicious competition and bundling sales. Open source technology has enabled companies such as Microsoft, Intel, and Hewlett-Packard to develop. The telecommunications industry has been criticized for improving overtime and overwork. The flat management and flexible working system have spread with the development of Silicon Valley.

In 1998, the Dragon Knight Microsoft grew into a dragon and took advantage of the operating system’s monopoly to infiltrate the browser market. It was not until the release of Google’s Chrome browser in 2008 that the ten-year hegemony of IE browser was ended. It is precisely this decade that the early Internet advantages of the United States have been exhausted, Internet companies such as China, India, and South Korea have developed greatly, and Facebook and Amazon have begun to rise.

Microsoft, which has lost its monopoly advantage, found that the original method of squeezing employees to increase the scale of monopoly benefits is no longer applicable. Internet companies such as Facebook, which are relatively loosely managed, are scrambling for their own talents. The method is simple and rude: higher salary, lower working hours, more flexible employment system.

Silicon Valley has entered a virtuous circle in employee benefits: talents are limited, but business expansion is unlimited. In order to obtain talents, companies have begun to spare no effort to improve employee benefits.

For example, Google built a special bicycle track for employees; Facebook expanded maternity leave, and male employees also had a four-month vacation; Apple provided female employees with up to 20,000 US dollars for freezing eggs.

Microsoft has nothing to do except being rich, so in the face of competition for employee benefits of major Internet companies, Microsoft used its “money capability” to defeat the market dream rate of Silicon Valley technology companies.

In the final analysis, Microsoft’s improvement of employee benefits and corporate governance is the result of a combination of internal and external factors.

On the one hand, Microsoft’s traditional business is shackled by anti-monopoly gloves, and it is difficult to make breakthroughs, and it will be meaningless to continue to squeeze employees; at the same time, Microsoft’s new business growth points are in cloud computing, AR, games and other innovative fields to improve efficiency and development Creativity can increase productivity more than crowded tactics and overtime madness.

On the other hand, in the past ten years, traditional technology companies have encountered the impact of new Internet companies, and Microsoft needs to recruit talents through employee benefits; the problem of declining birthrate in developed markets such as Europe, America and Japan is serious, and there is no demographic dividend and engineer dividend, which objectively improves employees The bargaining chip in the game with the enterprise, because no one is available.

In addition, due to the harsh US “Labor Law” and “Employment Law” and other laws, large companies such as Microsoft are facing huge compensation in labor lawsuits. Countless human rights lawyers use labor disputes to seek sky-high labor compensation; the labor union system is deeply entrenched in the United States, and labor unions even provide free legal aid to laborers in order to obtain mediation fees from companies.

【4】

Both Silicon Valley companies and domestic companies are now inevitably falling into the disease of large companies:

The meaningless but endless meetings and PPT summaries, seemingly strict management but reducing the efficiency of the level of approval, the employees are working overtime on the surface, but under the pressure, people are overwhelmed by things, like to do things.

This disease is incurable, making the company bloated and difficult to adapt to market changes. Silicon Valley has invented various management tools such as KPI (Key Performance Indicators), OKR (Objectives and Key Results Method), agile development, garage planning, etc., but the results have been minimal.

Microsoft and IBM are also the same. When the scale reached a certain level, large company diseases occurred. Each department fought independently. The corporate politics obscured the voice of customers and the response was no longer agile. Compared with emerging companies, the gap is visible to the naked eye.

IBM’s solution is to lay off employees and abolish the business, control the company’s scale to a certain range, reduce the level, and make the business more flexible. Microsoft chose to face it directly. Around 2011, the current CEO Nadella started reforms from the technical level with the least resistance, and finally carried out a comprehensive reform of corporate culture and corporate governance.

The most successful part of Microsoft under Nadella was breaking down departmental barriers and breaking down small circles, but did not vote against the original departmental system.

According to Coase’s theory, when the organization is large enough, there is essentially an “enterprise boundary” between each department. This is a sociological phenomenon that actually exists, and it does not depend on human will.

Microsoft actually acquiesced in the establishment of departmental barriers and factions, because it is impossible to eliminate them. Even Bill Gates said, “The company has grown to a certain scale, and I have to relax this standard.”

Microsoft’s strategy is “the company serves employees to grow”: if an engineer wants to be cool, then create conditions to make him cool; find people by department is too cumbersome, then find people according to specific functions, and be responsible for their own business without having to be responsible for the department. The leader is responsible.

In fact, Microsoft did not use the traditional departmental hierarchical system. Instead, it empowered the employees at the bottom. On the contrary, the goal was easier to achieve and efficiency was improved at the company level.

For a startup company, employees are like a tension spring, and the company needs them to go all out to win the market; for a large company, if it treats employees as a spring like a startup company, it will not rebound if it is too full. Up.

For example, after the implementation of Microsoft Japan’s “four holidays and three holidays” system, Microsoft said its labor productivity has increased by 39.9% compared with last year. Between extending labor hours and improving production efficiency, Microsoft chose the latter.

From Microsoft’s experience, Microsoft employees under Ballmer did not work less overtime, but the company’s performance did not grow much; Microsoft employees under Nadella were very happy, but it did not prevent Microsoft’s market value from approaching two trillion US dollars.

Microsoft summarizes the experience of the corporate governance system into three:

First, improving employee welfare can promote productivity development, but not the other way around; especially in high-tech fields and creative industries, efficiency is more important than simply overtime;

Second, the disease of large companies cannot be eliminated, but it can be adapted;

Third, the level of corporate governance depends on the top level. Don’t expect the middle and bottom levels. They are not obligated to contribute to the company’s culture. The ultimate decision makers that determine whether employees work overtime are still the founders and the senior management team.

But it is undeniable that, to this day, there are still companies and even super large companies that have not realized this.

Recently, Amazon, which is known for its squeezing of employees, still seems to want to continue the employment system of the Rockefeller era 100 years ago. It was strongly resisted by its employees. 30,000 employees went on strike. Amazon in Europe even faced a shutdown.

In addition to Amazon’s e-commerce business, although Amazon’s cloud computing market share currently ranks first in the world, its share continues to decline, from 45% in April last year to 31% in March this year. Under pressure, Bezos announced that he would step down as CEO in the third quarter of this year.

In contrast, Microsoft, ranked second in cloud computing, has a market share that has increased from 7% to 20%, and new businesses such as AR and games have continued to grow. It has also been rated as one of the 25 companies with the highest employee happiness in the world.

Two companies created by different corporate governance cultures can have the last laugh. Let time prove it.

Electric cars lose control. According to Liu, a few days ago, while driving his familiar Tesla, he suddenly lost control. Worth mentioning, this loss of driving is not due to the subjective expert but the car suddenly stripped the user’s control and drove himself, making Mr. Liu unable to control. After that, the car crashed into the wall before it stopped. Experiencing the shock, Mr. Liu was extremely scared. He said at that time he was very afraid of injuring others and also feared that he would suffer bad damage when he could not control the car. Mr. Luu revealed that at that time he was about to park the car in the underground garage when the car suddenly lost control and he could not activate the brake system. This caused the car to rush forward and eventually hit the wall directly, creating a loud crashing sound. Fortunately the car did not crash into other vehicles or people, otherwise the consequences would be catastrophic. Mr. Liu added, this is the first time he encountered this situation, after the accident happened, he called the police and contacted Tesla, frankly saying to Tesla: “Don’t rush to fix it. repair, please investigate the details of this accident “. Later, Tesla’s engineer responded that the preliminary investigation was due to too low ground friction causing ABS (anti-lock braking system) to start and slip. Currently the accident is being further investigated and handled.

Bill Gates participates in the product review board, swearing for pleasure, and employees even use the number of times he says “fxxk” as a basis for evaluating whether his product design can pass smoothly.

Microsoft engineer Polski wrote about Bill Gates in his blog:

“He didn’t really want to review your design, he just wanted to make sure that you have control over it. According to his usual standards, he will ask harder and harder questions until you admit that you don’t know, and then he can scold you. Unprepared. If you can answer the hardest question he asked, what will happen next? No one really knows. Because no one has ever done this.”

Bill Gates scolds people equally, not only scolding employees, but also co-founder Steve Ballmer. In the multiple work emails exposed by the media, the dialogue between Bill Gates and Ballmer can be described as “violent speech.”

Under the influence of curse culture, especially after Ballmer took over as Microsoft CEO, he also became hysterical.

In Seattle in September 2009, it was dry and dry. Microsoft is experiencing failure to replace Windows Vista, Windows Mobile is suppressed by Google and Apple’s mobile operating systems, and even music players such as Zune cannot sell iPods. What’s more disturbing is that Microsoft, who is jealous of Apple’s iPhone, released two generations of multimedia mobile phones Kin1 and Kin2 within a year, and sold a total of exaggerated…500 units in the life cycle.

On September 14 of that year, Ballmer smashed an employee’s mobile phone at an internal Microsoft meeting.

At that time, Ballmer had just entered the venue, he was alive and kicking as before. But when he saw someone taking pictures with an iPhone, Ballmer rushed to grab the iPhone, laughed at it, and threw it on the ground, trampling it with his feet.

Ballmer has also thrown chairs at employees, and even yelled at Google because an executive switched to Google: “I want to bury Google CEO Eric Schmidt alive! I want to eliminate Google!”

The irritable culture has also continued into the professional habits of Microsoft employees, so that during the upgrade of Microsoft’s Windows 10 Dev Build 21313, the engineer wrote on the update page: “Configuring update, please don’t turn off the computer”.

Today, when Bill Gates has become a benevolent old man, he has begun to reflect on his relationship with employees:

“I must remind myself that my standards can no longer be used to require employees to work hard.”

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants took the shade. Microsoft’s 50-year history, from the disaster of corporate governance to the current “professional pensioners”, is not so much that Microsoft actively chooses to seek benefits for employees, but it is actually forced.

According to the research of historian Thomas McGraw, 4227 American companies merged into 257 from 1897 to 1904. By 1904, about 318 trusts controlled two-fifths of the nation’s manufacturing assets. Since then, the United States has experienced three waves of anti-monopoly, and each anti-monopoly has promoted the improvement of employee welfare and the level of corporate governance, and at the same time promoted new technological progress.

In the first wave of anti-monopoly in 1890, the United States promulgated the “Sherman Antitrust Act.” A batch of trusts such as Rockefeller and the Morgan family were split up. New companies such as Ford and Chevrolet were able to develop at the time. “Wait for the implementation of the system.

In the second wave of antitrust in 1970, telecommunications giants such as IBM and AT&T were punished and almost split up. The two companies have respectively released monopoly technology to the market and corrected vicious competition and bundling sales. Open source technology has enabled companies such as Microsoft, Intel, and Hewlett-Packard to develop. The telecommunications industry has been criticized for improving overtime and overwork. The flat management and flexible working system have spread with the development of Silicon Valley.

In 1998, the Dragon Knight Microsoft grew into a dragon and took advantage of the operating system’s monopoly to infiltrate the browser market. It was not until the release of Google’s Chrome browser in 2008 that the ten-year hegemony of IE browser was ended. It is precisely this decade that the early Internet advantages of the United States have been exhausted, Internet companies such as China, India, and South Korea have developed greatly, and Facebook and Amazon have begun to rise.

Microsoft, which has lost its monopoly advantage, found that the original method of squeezing employees to increase the scale of monopoly benefits is no longer applicable. Internet companies such as Facebook, which are relatively loosely managed, are scrambling for their own talents. The method is simple and rude: higher salary, lower working hours, more flexible employment system.

Silicon Valley has entered a virtuous circle in employee benefits: talents are limited, but business expansion is unlimited. In order to obtain talents, companies have begun to spare no effort to improve employee benefits.

For example, Google built a special bicycle track for employees; Facebook expanded maternity leave, and male employees also had a four-month vacation; Apple provided female employees with up to 20,000 US dollars for freezing eggs.

Microsoft has nothing to do with it except being rich, so in the face of competition for employee benefits of major Internet companies, Microsoft used its “money capability” to beat the market dream rate of Silicon Valley technology companies.

In the final analysis, Microsoft’s improvement of employee benefits and corporate governance is the result of a combination of internal and external factors.

On the one hand, Microsoft’s traditional business is shackled by anti-monopoly gloves, and it is difficult to make breakthroughs. It will be meaningless to continue to squeeze employees; at the same time, Microsoft’s new business growth points are in cloud computing, AR, games and other innovative fields to improve efficiency and development Creativity can increase productivity more than crowded tactics and overtime madness.

On the other hand, in the past ten years, traditional technology companies have encountered the impact of new Internet companies. Microsoft needs to use employee benefits to recruit talents; the problem of declining birthrates in developed markets such as Europe, America and Japan is serious, and there is no demographic dividend and engineer dividend, which objectively improves employees. The bargaining chip in the game with the enterprise, because no one is available.

In addition, due to the harsh US “Labor Law” and “Employment Law” and other laws, large companies such as Microsoft are facing huge compensation in labor lawsuits. Countless human rights lawyers use labor disputes to seek sky-high labor compensation; the labor union system is deeply entrenched in the United States, and labor unions even provide free legal aid to laborers in order to obtain mediation fees from companies.

Both Silicon Valley companies and domestic companies are now inevitably falling into the disease of large companies:

The meaningless but endless meetings and PPT summaries, seemingly strict management but reducing the efficiency of the level of approval, the employees are working overtime on the surface, but under the pressure, people are overwhelmed with things, likes to go back and forth.

This disease is incurable, making the company bloated and difficult to adapt to market changes. Silicon Valley has invented various management tools such as KPI (Key Performance Indicators), OKR (Objectives and Key Results Method), agile development, garage planning, etc., but the results have been minimal.

Microsoft and IBM are also the same. When the scale reached a certain level, large company diseases occurred. Each department fought independently. The corporate politics obscured the voice of customers and the response was no longer agile. Compared with emerging companies, the gap is visible to the naked eye.

IBM’s solution is to lay off employees and abolish the business, control the company’s scale to a certain range, reduce the level, and make the business more flexible. Microsoft chose to face it directly. Around 2011, the current CEO Nadella started reforms from the technical level with the least resistance, and finally carried out a comprehensive reform of corporate culture and corporate governance.

The most successful part of Microsoft under Nadella was breaking down departmental barriers and breaking down small circles, but did not vote against the original departmental system.

According to Coase’s theory, when the organization is large enough, there is essentially an “enterprise boundary” between each department. This is a sociological phenomenon that actually exists, and it does not depend on human will.

Microsoft actually acquiesced to the establishment of departmental barriers and factions, because it is impossible to eliminate them. Even Bill Gates said, “The company has grown to a certain scale, and I have to relax this standard.”

Microsoft’s strategy is “the company serves employees to grow”: if an engineer wants to be cool, then create conditions to make him cool; find people by department is too cumbersome, then find people according to specific functions, and be responsible for their own business without being responsible for the department. The leader is responsible.

In fact, Microsoft did not use the traditional departmental hierarchical system, but empowered the employees at the bottom. On the contrary, the goal is easier to achieve and efficiency is improved at the company level.

For a startup company, employees are like a tension spring, and the company needs them to go all out to win the market; for a large company, if it treats employees as a spring like a startup company, it will not rebound if it is too full. Up.

For example, after the implementation of Microsoft Japan’s “four holidays and three holidays” system, Microsoft said its labor productivity has increased by 39.9% compared with last year. Between extending labor hours and improving production efficiency, Microsoft chose the latter.

From Microsoft’s experience, Microsoft employees under Ballmer did not work less overtime, but the company’s performance did not grow much; Microsoft employees under Nadella were very happy, but it did not prevent Microsoft’s market value from approaching two trillion US dollars.

Microsoft summarizes the experience of the corporate governance system into three:

First, improving employee welfare can promote productivity development, but not the other way around; especially in high-tech fields and creative industries, efficiency is more important than simply overtime;

Second, the disease of large companies cannot be eliminated, but it can be adapted;

Third, the level of corporate governance depends on the top level. Don’t expect the middle and bottom levels. They are not obligated to contribute to the company’s culture. The ultimate decision makers who decide whether employees work overtime or not are still the founders and senior management team.

But it is undeniable that, to this day, there are still companies and even super large companies that have not realized this.

Recently, Amazon, which is known for its squeezing of employees, still seems to want to continue the employment system of the Rockefeller era 100 years ago. It was strongly resisted by its employees. 30,000 employees went on strike. Amazon in Europe even faced a shutdown.

In addition to Amazon’s e-commerce business, although Amazon’s cloud computing market share currently ranks first in the world, its share continues to decline, from 45% in April last year to 31% in March this year. Under pressure, Bezos announced that he would step down as CEO in the third quarter of this year.

In contrast, Microsoft, ranked second in cloud computing, has a market share that has increased from 7% to 20%, and new businesses such as AR and games have continued to grow. It has also been rated as one of the 25 companies with the highest employee happiness in the world.

Two companies created by different corporate governance cultures can have the last laugh. Let time prove it.

An H-6K off Taiwan in 2016.

On March 26, 20 Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLAAF) fighters departed from mainland China and approached Taiwan on two axes.

While most of Taiwan’s defense exploration aircraft were in the southwestern part of the island, four H-6K cruise missile bombers and one Y-8 support aircraft continued to fly towards Southeast through the Ba Si Strait separating Taiwan from the Philippines and then turns north, to an area in Taiwan’s eastern international airspace.

In other words, PLAAF bombers have surrounded Taiwan – a move that flyers Global Times China’s considered capable of deciding during wartime. “From that position, the PLA could not only attack military facilities on the eastern side of the island, but block the island completely.”

But it is far from concluded that the PLAAF can easily do this in combat. First, enemies – Taiwanese and American forces with missile batteries, air defense fighters and missile warships – must be taken into account.

Second, it is not clear whether PLAAF crews possess the skills and support necessary to reliably and safely fly thousands of kilometers across the vast Pacific Ocean.

Land combat was difficult. Air combat on the ocean is even more difficult. On the water, navigation, communication, and coordination – not to mention effective combat with an experienced, high-tech enemy – have been a big deal.

“Although the PLAAF is increasing the number of flights at sea, they acknowledge the challenges associated with training to fly in the far seas,” authors Kenneth Allen and Cristina Garafola wrote in a survey. newly funded by the US Air Force in terms of the history and organization of the Chinese Air Force.

Allen and Garafola cited a 2017 interview. Chinese pilots from the PLAAF’s Southern Command have discussed some of the issues their air force is trying to solve to improve their capabilities. combat ability in “far sea”.

Communication stories at the top of the list. “Due to limited communication measures during long-distance training, comprehensive support measures – including regular radars, command and air communications aircraft, naval ships and satellites communication – needs to be better integrated, ”writes Allen and Garafola.

They continued, “Compared to flying on land, training at sea is more likely to deviate from the designed flight path.” High-difficulty subjects related to offshore training pose new challenges to the technical and tactical abilities of many pilots. These subjects include attacking sea targets, aerial combat against different types of aircraft on land and water, aerial refueling and combat with enemy navies.

In particular, on physical challenges, flight times longer than four hours often lead to pilot fatigue.

Weather conditions during marine training are unpredictable – and gathering weather related data remains a challenge.

Long-distance search and rescue operations remain a challenging task for the PLAAF due to limited search and rescue equipment, low night vision and complex weather conditions. trash.

Long-distance flight training continues to challenge PLAAF’s maintenance assistance capabilities. Many incidents related to maritime cannot just take the option on land but apply it.

The PLAAF knows that they have water problems. “The high seas drills will become part of regular training,” said Dinh Lai Hang, a PLAAF lieutenant general, in 2017.

The PLAAF is “gradually expanding its long-distance training operations. Weapons, equipment, communications systems, supplies and aviation search and rescue skills have to keep up with mission requirements, ”added General Dinh.

The fact that the Chinese air force safely conducted sky missions near Taiwan in March could be a hint that its sea flight training efforts are beginning to succeed.

Of course, performing long-range, above-water missions in peacetime was one thing. Performing that task while someone is shooting at you is completely different.

According to Defense World, the US Air Force recently announced blueprints for a new fighter jet being developed under the “Next Generation Aviation Advantage” (NGAD) program, which includes including unmanned and manned fighters.

The image shows a triangular flying fighter and its aerial weapons on display as well. The configuration of this fighter is also very different from today’s fighters, the plane is relatively flat, triangular seen from above, has a pair of vertical V-shaped tails and the air intakes located above. fuselage.

The photo shows that this fighter jet has very highly modular characteristics, can quickly replace engines, landing frames … thereby reducing the load of logistics maintenance, missile pods inside. The aircraft is also equipped with a variety of missiles.

The NGAD program was originally proposed as a joint project of the US Air Force and Navy. Although there is still some joint cooperation between the two sides, each side has in turn set up independent offices to research and develop next-generation fighters.

From 2019 to 2025, the budget for the NGAD program of the US Air Force is 9 billion USD, of which the budget for the fiscal year 2021 is 1 billion USD and the budget of the fiscal year 2022 is 1.5 billion USD.

According to the report, the NGAD program aims to complement the F-22 and F-35 fighters, creating a system with multi-domain cognitive capabilities, flexible information and strong operational advantages. air raid attack. The program will apply digital technology to large-scale fabrication and replacement of small components.

This approach is based on the automotive industry’s digital transformation and uses models to solve design, assembly, maintenance and repair issues before, the Air Force said. build a physical system.

The US Air Force report did not specify the cost of the project to build the aircraft. However, the report mentions that a mysterious jet under the project was tested in 2020, and it is still unclear whether the plane is manned or not.

“We have built and tested a new aircraft and broke all aircraft records,” said Will Roper, Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for US logistics and technology equipment procurement. fight. We are now ready to build the next generation aircraft in an unprecedented way. “

Some previous reports suggested that the NGAD program plane will have an artificial intelligence co-pilot, maybe even the ARTU system (artificial intelligence system built by algorithm to play chess. ).

The artificial intelligence system will act as a support for true pilots, but the weakness of AI systems lies in their logic, while actual military actions may not obey this logic. Human presence is then required to make a decision in unusual, non-standard situations.

It is known that from March 2018, the US Air Force Laboratory has released the image of the next generation F / X aircraft, showing that this aircraft will have a stealth design, eye-catching appearance with laser. High energy capable of cutting enemy aircraft in half.

This is also the main aircraft in the NGAD program, also known as the Penetration Jet. The future F / X aircraft is expected to have longer range and payload, as well as the ability to carry hypersonic weapons.

Under the NGAD program, the US Air Force advocates to exploit advanced capabilities of the new generation of aircraft such as air combat systems linked to fighters, drones and networking platforms. . With the aim of increasing air superiority, the F / X fighter program offers significantly enhanced stealth and works closely in coordination with the drone.

Until now, all information about the capabilities of the F / X is still a military secret. If the program progresses at a rapid rate through streamlined processes and uses current technology, the new generation fighter could join the US Air Force earlier than expected in 2030. .
