On the evening of June 17, a screenshot of the report type of “Elementary and Middle School Students Online Lessons” included in the “Internet Crime Reporting Website” went viral on social media, although it was later clarified that the report type was as early as August 2020 It has appeared, but the spread of the news is enough to show the nerves of the entire education and training industry at this moment.

Prior to this, foreign media reported that China will introduce more severe than expected measures against the US$120 billion after-school training industry, including a trial ban on holiday training and restrictions on advertising. The new regulations may reduce the annual revenue of tuition companies by 70%-80%. On June 15, the Ministry of Education also established an off-campus education and training supervision department to supervise related activities.

Under high pressure, online education stocks have been declining, and many leading institutions have been reported to be layoffs on a large scale. Some investors even said that it is true that the management collectively closed the K12 education track.

It is worth mentioning that at this moment, iQiyi, who has been losing money for many years, chose to enter the game. Recently, some media reported that iQiyi launched an app called “iQiyi Education” in the Apple App Store. However, Radar Finance did not find the app when searching on June 18th. It is reported that iQiyi began to get involved in the education field in 2012, and in January this year it also incubated ubiquitous education.

CY, a veteran of more than ten years in the education industry who has worked in a leading education institution and also has entrepreneurial experience, told Leda Finance that the capital market is usually the most sensitive. The recent sharp drop in online education stocks proves the news. There is a certain possibility of implementation. But the decline will not be endless. “It may be beneficial in the past half a month to a month. It is speculated that the direction is quality education, and it depends on who moves fast.”

Is iQiyi going to become Taobao in education?

Public information shows that iQiyi has been in the education field for a long time, but progress is relatively slow.

In 2012, iQiyi and Beijing No. 4 Online School jointly created the “2012 College Entrance Examination Channel” to cut into the educational track.

In August 2016, iQiyi Ai Classroom mobile terminal and PC terminal were fully launched; at the end of the year, the company held the first “Smart·Creation·Future” annual education ceremony at Tsinghua University. According to reports at that time, the iQiyi Education Channel The broadcast traffic has reached 35 million, and the content covers various fields such as early childhood education, primary and secondary education, foreign language training, and vocational education.

At the meeting, iQiyi Education also reached long-term strategic cooperation with well-known brands such as New Oriental Online and Xingshuai Education. Since then, this educational festival has become an annual routine of iQiyi.

In 2017, online education ushered in the trend. According to IT Orange data, as of October 16, the number of open financings in the field of online education exceeded 150, and the cumulative amount of financing exceeded 8 billion yuan. So at the second iQiyi Education Ceremony at the end of the year, Geng Danhao, senior vice president of iQiyi, said bluntly that there are a large number of Internet users who are willing to pay and they are willing to pay to acquire knowledge. In 2018, iQiyi launched the paid knowledge product “iQiyi Knowledge”. Lu Yujie, editor-in-chief of the iQiyi Education Center, said that the main change in the education business in 2018 is that it has a dedicated technology and product team. On January 27, 2021, iQiyi announced the integration of iQiyi Knowledge, iQiyi Education, TV Fruit, and Meng Zhuangyuan to form “Ubiquitous Education”. The founder of Meng Zhuangyuan Zhou Liuqing will serve as the CEO of Ubiquitous Education. Independently operated outside iQiyi. Gong Yu, founder and CEO of iQiyi, said that ubiquitous education itself does not produce content, but rather distributes and operates educational content. The ubiquitous model can be understood as the logic of “Taobao”. In Gong Yu’s view, ubiquitous education is an innovative application of commercial forms in the education field. At present, the major online and offline educational institutions in China are basically iQiyi advertisers, and the company has hundreds of millions of user groups. Based on this, Ubiquitous can achieve effective control of customer acquisition costs. In this regard, some online education practitioners pointed out, “Even if the platform can connect to many famous educational institutions, consumers recognize the product in education. If he recognizes the teaching of an institution on the platform, then he will go Directly find this institution to take classes, at this time it has nothing to do with the platform. From this perspective, it is difficult to have a high-strength connection between users and the platform.” After nearly five months, it is reported that the iQiyi Education App has been launched on the Apple App Store, which has set up a classmate system, a star cluster of stars, and divided the courses into three modes: live classroom, video classroom and self-study room. , Mainly for preschool children and elementary school students. However, on June 18, a Radar Finance search found that iQiyi Education could no longer be found in the Apple App Store, only iQiyi knowledge could be found. In addition, the official account of iQiyi Education has been launched on Weibo, Douyin and other platforms. According to this, Radar Finance called iQiyi’s customer service, and the other party said that he did not know the relevant matters. “If a new App is launched, in general, in response to questions raised by users, the customer service will also receive relevant notifications, but I have not received any notifications about the iQiyi Education App.” Dilemma in commercialization Why, as a long-term video company, iQiyi wants to explore the educational track? In the eyes of industry insiders, this may be an attempt by the company to realize commercialization. Radar Finance noted that since 2016, iQiyi’s revenue growth rate has continued to show a downward trend. From 2016 to 2020, the company’s revenue growth rate was 107.21%, 60.25%, 39.19%, 14.19% and 2.86%, respectively. Although iQiyi’s 2021 first quarter report shows that the company achieved 7.968 billion yuan in revenue during the reporting period, an increase of 4% year-on-year, but according to the company’s second quarter 2021 performance guidelines, it is expected that revenue in the second quarter of 2021 will be 7.65 billion yuan. , A year-on-year decrease of 3%. While revenue is gradually encountering bottlenecks, iQiyi has lost 38.245 billion yuan since 2015. In order to monetize, iQiyi has thought of many ways, the most direct one is to increase the price by members. In 2016, iQiyi’s ARPU (average revenue per user) was 125 yuan, and it increased to 135 yuan in 2019, with an annual compound growth rate of less than 3%. In the same period, Netflix on the other side of the ocean was 7.9%. In November 2020, iQiyi announced that the gold VIP membership fee will be increased for the first time in nine years. The monthly subscription price will be increased from 15 yuan to 19 yuan, and the monthly card price will be increased from 19.8 yuan to 25 yuan. The feedback of this move is obvious. In 2020, iQiyi’s ARPU is 162 yuan, an increase of 20% year-on-year, but the cost is a decline in the number of members. At the end of 2020, the total number of iQiyi subscription members was 101.7 million, 5 million fewer than at the end of 2019, and more than 17 million fewer than at the beginning of 2020. Although the number of members rose to 105.3 million in the first quarter of 2021 from the previous quarter, this figure is still less than the 107 million at the end of 2019. Industry insiders believe that the increase in the number of iQiyi subscription members in the first quarter of 2021 is due to the hot broadcast of the hit “Zuo Son”. If there is no corresponding hot sale in the future, the number of members will hardly continue to rise. Even Gong Yu himself admitted in a letter to shareholders that, with the reduction of copyright content obtained from traditional channels, “the current quantity and quality of self-made content cannot meet the needs.” In addition to membership fees, iQiyi has also tested other tracks. Searching for the name of iQiyi in the app store, you can find many apps that are similar to the above-mentioned “iqiyi education”, such as iqiyi bata, iqiyi novels, iqiyi ticketing, iqiyi VR , IQiyi Security Shield, iQiyi Sports, etc., as well as some apps such as a lot of videos, instant creation, Qixiu, Youbing, etc., even if iQiyi’s name is not listed, they are also affiliated to the company. Gong Yu once said that iQiyi will establish an ecosystem that will link literature, comics, light novels, online games, shopping malls and other sectors through IP to form a situation where one fish eats more. But as far as the current situation is concerned, in Gong Yu’s ecological matrix, except for the long video deity of iqiyi, it is difficult to have bright projects that rank among the heads, even if it is to complete the task of reaching the waist, it will be more difficult. Qimai data shows that affected by the start of the European Cup, iQiyi Sports ranks 8th in the sports App list of the iOS system. This is also the best product of iQiyi in their respective categories except for video playback software; in addition, IQiyi Novels rank 59 in the book list; iQiyi Instant is ranked 62 in the entertainment list; iQiyi Knowledge is ranked 344 in the education list; iQiyi Creative is ranked 825 in the photography and video app list… … Obviously, if iQiyi Education is successfully launched, it will also become a member of the aforementioned matrix. However, in the eyes of netizens, Gong Yu’s move in the education industry is a bit slow. Online education hits the bottom If the rectification and naming of the online education industry at the beginning of the year were just shackles, then a series of news that came out in recent days is close to the death penalty for the education and training industry. There are more and more signs that the “three noes” policy, which was spread online in late May, is developing in the direction of becoming true. On May 24, there was news that Beijing’s Haidian Education Commission was about to introduce a “double reduction” policy, accompanied by the “three nos”: classes are not allowed during holidays, training institutions (subjects & educational quality) are not allowed to be listed, Do not allow advertising. At that time, the Haidian District Board of Education also issued an article to refute the rumors, saying that the news that “educational institutions are not allowed to start classes in summer” was not true. The Haidian District Education Commission’s rumors are very rigorous, but from the perspective of market capital trends and offline specific conditions, the above-mentioned rumors are not unfounded. In 2020, the total financing of China’s online education sector exceeded 53.93 billion yuan, exceeding the total financing of the industry in the previous ten years. Well-known investment institutions such as Tencent, Sequoia Capital, IDG, Hillhouse, Alibaba, and Softbank were all attracted to the market. But now online education has been reduced to “abandoned son” in the capital circle. Some investors who have been paying attention to the education track for a long time said that no one in their investment group discusses education projects, and some investors in the education track are also thinking about turning to the track. Previously, Bloomberg had reported that Job Gang may IPO in the second half of 2021 as soon as possible, but after the introduction of supervision, Job Gang’s response to the listing was that there was no clear plan and no timetable. In the U.S. stock market, online education concept stocks continued to plummet, which also reflected the shaken capital’s confidence in the industry. According to data from Eastern Fortune Choice, on June 17, the single-day declines of No. 1 High School Education, Good Future, New Oriental, and Gaotu reached 15.81%, 13.98%, 8.84%, and 8.39% respectively; the 10 companies with the largest year-to-date declines, Online education occupies 7 seats, and New Oriental has fallen by 95.89%. On the other hand, the online education advertisements that were previously overwhelming and offline have also been difficult to find. On April 23, May 10, and June 1, the top penalties imposed by the regulatory agencies on a number of education and training institutions were also for their false propaganda, price violations and other violations. It is worth mentioning that nearly a month after the news of the “three noes” came out, there were corresponding signs of “no classes during holidays”, which was considered the most unlikely event in the industry at that time. On June 16, according to a Reuters report, four sources told Reuters that China will introduce more severe than expected measures against the US$120 billion after-school training industry, including a trial ban on holiday training and restrictions on advertising. The new rules will be announced as early as next week and will take effect next month. The new regulations may reduce the annual revenue of tuition companies by 70%-80%. The ban on holiday and weekend tutoring will be implemented in 9 provinces and cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Jiangsu for a period of 12 months, after which it will be promoted nationwide. Reuters wrote in the report: A person close to the drafting of the new regulations by the regulator said that the new regulations will be stricter than expected and the industry should prepare for the worst. Similarly, the news of an internal discussion in New Oriental was also released, saying that classes will not be available on weekends, winter and summer vacations from 2022; subjects and non-subjects under the age of 6 will not be available; all shooting questions and search tools are all available. Online sales are further restricted; the company itself predicts that it will lose 50%+ of its revenue due to the New Deal. On the afternoon of June 18, the rumor was refuted by New Oriental. “There can be no waves without wind. New Oriental’s refutation of the rumors will not be evaluated, but the Reuters news may implement some actions, but the intensity is not easy to judge.” CY said, “The current measures are all aimed at the head, and you can see behind the stage. The intensity and effect of the crackdown are sufficient, and if it is sufficient, the scale may be relatively reduced. Moreover, before the policy is issued, it will be protected from the wind, and it depends on the market’s response.” With the continuous efforts of supervision, news of layoffs from New Oriental Online, VIPKID, Chalk Education, Gaotu, Job Gang, Ape Guidance, Good Future and other institutions have also been heard one after another. Some insiders estimate that only one summer vacation will be a job in the online education industry. The layoffs may exceed 100,000. Under the “doomsday” of the industry, news of cessation of recruitment and contract breaches spread frequently. Many freshmen who had already received offers became the most direct “victims”. They “graduated and become unemployed.” In addition, the employees of educational institutions are still in meetings in the morning, and they are notified that they have been laid off in the afternoon, and there is neither compensation nor internal transfer arrangements. An employee of an educational institution revealed to Radar Finance and Economics that no matter whether it is a primary school, a junior high school or a high school, whether it is a large class or a one-to-one basis, there are “undocumented” teachers in the institution. Under strict supervision, the company has recently started to “persuade people to leave” one after another. It is difficult for teachers without a teacher qualification certificate to continue to gain a foothold in the K12 field. Under the turmoil, is the education and training industry coming to an end? For the future of the education and training industry, CY still maintains a certain optimism. “I don’t think it will be a 70%-80% reduction in revenue. The main reason is that the capital has come in too much in the past period of time. The whole market is unhealthy and abnormal, and the cost of acquiring customers is extremely high. Now under the strong pressure of supervision, it is beneficial to the market. Standardize development and reduce customer acquisition costs.” CY said that although there are currently many restrictions on advertising and online sales of educational institutions, educational institutions do not use these methods to acquire customers from the beginning. “Isn’t Yuanzhidao a local push team of 1,000 people? The homework helper has been in the school for many years, including Yi Education and Qingbei Online School. “A school commissioner has a resource pool of 3,000 zero-turnovers every month, and only needs to pay this person’s salary. If according to the previous investment costs, so many users may need 300,000. In this way, the cost of acquiring customers will be reduced. ” CY also pointed out that the current changes are good for small and medium-sized institutions. “As long as the well-known institutions on the head may be hit, some small and medium-sized institutions with strong regionality will not be hit, and these institutions can’t invest money in large institutions, but now they are back to the same starting line. , The entire market has returned to the state it was five or six years ago.” “The country is not one size fits all, but it is a big blow to the K12 education and training track. Relatively speaking, it even encourages quality education, including art, sports, and programming. Education may be issued by the government after the census results are issued. One of the combinations is housing prices and medical care. Moreover, China’s concept stocks are unlikely to fall forever. We think it will be beneficial to release in the past half a month to 1 month. It may be a cooperation between several companies, or who has an acquisition. However, the benefits are mainly aimed at the first two or three companies to act, to see who runs faster.” Note: This article is the original article of Leidacj (ID: leidacj).

MGM and Amazon Is the takeover in danger of failing?

Status: 22.06.2021 10:18 p.m.

Actually, the mega-deal between the traditional MGM studio and the online giant Amazon was already dry. Now the takeover is to be checked again by the US Trade Commission FTC.

From Marcus Schuler, ARD studio Los Angeles

The Wall Street Journal reports that the new head of the FTC Trade Commission, Lina Khan, wants to take another closer look at the planned takeover of the renowned Hollywood studio by Amazon. The reason for this is an already existing competition procedure against Amazon, which the FTC has initiated.

The group actually wanted to take over the 97-year-old film studio from Jeff Bezos for the equivalent of 6.91 billion euros. This was intended to increase the Amazon Prime film library – Amazon’s streaming service – in order to be able to remain competitive with the video platforms of Netflix, Disney Plus and HBO Max. More than 4,000 productions are slumbering in the MGM archive – including all James Bond films. In addition, Amazon is increasingly producing its own content for its Prime video platform. In addition, the company has attracted attention with its aggressive purchasing policy in US sports rights. Among other things, it holds broadcasting rights to the US National Football League (NFL). Compared to other providers, however, their own library of entertainment goods such as series and feature films is relatively small.

In the worst case, no approval

The takeover has now suffered a setback. In the worst case scenario, it could not be approved. Only a few weeks ago, after consulting the Justice Department, the FTC reserved the right to examine the takeover more closely. Neither the US agency nor the online company wanted to comment on the process.

In the US, a great deal of competition has arisen for dominance in the streaming market. This market has so far been dominated by Netflix. The new head of the FTC, the 32-year-old Khan, caused a sensation five years ago with a legal article in the Yale Law Journal. In this she had described what she believed was anti-competitive behavior on the part of Amazon. She came to the conclusion that the current US competition laws are too weak to be able to put a constantly expanding company like Amazon in their place.

Less freedom for tech companies

In the past, Khan had advocated curbing large dominant companies time and again. This is one of the few overlaps shared by the two parties represented in Congress. Both Democrats and Republicans want to tighten the power of tech companies like Google, Facebook, Apple and Amazon.

Khan was appointed to office by US President Joe Biden a few days ago. She is expected to regulate the big tech companies in Silicon Valley and on the US West Coast more tightly

Car market Used car prices are rising rapidly

Status: 22.06.2021 2:17 p.m.

Because of the often long delivery times for new cars, the market for used cars is booming – also on the Internet. But consumers should pay attention to a few things, especially when buying online.

From Till Bücker, tagesschau.de

Buy or sell a used car from the comfort of your own home with one click: The online market for used cars is becoming increasingly popular. So it is not surprising that the Berlin trading platform Auto1 has risen to the MDAX. The company, which was founded in 2012, was only launched in early February dared to go public – with success. Because with 1.8 billion euros it was the largest IPO in Germany after almost one and a half years. The Auto1 Group claims to be Europe’s largest digital automotive platform with more than 450,000 cars sold last year. The company buys vehicles from private customers via wirkaufendeinauto.de as well as from dealers. These are then primarily passed on to other car dealers via auto1.com. But consumers have also been able to purchase new used vehicles through the Autohero brand since 2017. The private business is to be massively expanded with the fresh money from investors.

Semiconductor shortages delay deliveries

That could be worth it. Because according to calculations by the Metzler bank, the European market for used cars reaches around 600 billion euros. 2020 was due to long delivery times and falling demand for new cars during the Corona crisis a real boom . In July alone, according to figures from the Federal Motor Transport Authority, there were almost 750,000 car ownership transfers – more than ever before in a month and almost 100,000 more than in July 2019. This year, too, the transfers are well above the previous year’s figures.

The high demand is also reflected in the price development: During the prices for used e-cars have recently plummeted , the asking prices for used cars reached a new record high in May with an average of around 22,600 euros per vehicle. The buyers paid almost 200 euros more than in April and even around 2200 euros more than in May 2020, according to data from the online portal AutoScout24. Experts expect an increase as the semiconductor shortage is delaying the delivery of new cars worldwide and the supply of used cars is falling.

Platform growth opportunities

So far, however, only one percent of used cars have been sold online. “The used car market in Europe is still one of the last markets that go almost exclusively through brick-and-mortar retail,” said Tom Diedrich from the Metzler bank Deutschlandfunk . Therefore, there are still great growth opportunities for online platforms.

A first trend seems to be emerging. “We are seeing a real boom,” said Stefan Schneck, sales manager for the German market at AutoScout24. For example, the number of contacts made by potentially interested parties shot up by 40 percent at times in May. According to a current AutoScout24 survey of more than 1000 users, car fans see a good alternative to buying completely online: almost one in two (47 percent) would “definitely” or “maybe” order their car from the sofa. A year ago, only 35 percent of those surveyed were ready to do this.

Extreme bargains should make you suspicious

Buying a used car on the Internet has the advantage that interested parties can quickly and easily fall back on a huge range. A contract can be concluded at the push of a button, and the car is delivered to your doorstep. But regardless of whether it is on digital platforms such as Auto1 or via an exchange such as AutoScout24 or mobile.de, on which dealers or private individuals sell their vehicles directly: Consumers should pay attention to a few things when buying a used car.

First the price. For used cars, this depends on the model, year of construction, equipment, kilometers driven, wear and tear, extras and preferences. But how can a fair offer be recognized? “If you watch the market for your desired vehicle for a week or two, you get a very good feeling for a reasonable price,” explains Silvia Schattenkirchner, Head of Consumer Law at ADAC. Some exchanges such as mobile.de are now also giving ratings for offers from private individuals. Consumers should generally be cautious about extreme bargains. In addition, there is possible manipulation of the mileage. According to ADAC estimates, the so-called odometer has changed in every third used car. Verification is not easy. “It is best to have the mileage guaranteed,” advises Schattenkirchner. Otherwise, consumers could have repair invoices or TÜV certificates shown. Even comparing the kilometers driven with the year of construction is already informative in some cases.

Test drives essential

The expert considers test drives to be particularly important. “Buying a pig in a poke without a test drive, especially when it comes to used cars, is a big risk.” Only then should a contract be concluded. Schattenkirchner also advises against high down payments or other advance payments as well as purchases from abroad. In addition, consumers should be aware that contracts concluded online are also binding – for example by email. There are numerous scams on the Internet. The most common problems are listed on the website of the initiative “Safe car purchase on the Internet” from ADAC and the police crime prevention.

It is also not always easy for sellers of used cars. Platforms often promise higher prices than are ultimately paid. In order to find out how much one’s own car is still worth, the lawyer Schattenkirchner has two tips ready: “On the one hand, sellers can search for their own car and comparable offers. The other option are ADAC test centers.” Most of the time, only the initiation of business deals takes place on the Internet. “With mobile.de or AutoScout24 it is usually still the case that both parties are mediated,” said Schattenkirchner. The contract will still be concluded outside of the Internet. It remains to be seen whether the newcomer Auto1 will bring about long-term change

Amazon On “Prime Day” there is a strike

Status: 21.06.2021 1:11 p.m.

Ironically, during the “Prime Day” discount campaign, a strike is to take place at seven locations of the online retailer Amazon in Germany. In Bad Hersfeld, employees have already stopped working. At the online retailer Amazon, a few hundred employees in Bad Hersfeld went on strike today at the start of the “Prime Day” discount campaign, which is taking place today and tomorrow. The Verdi union called for a strike at seven Amazon locations. In addition to the two logistics locations in Bad Hersfeld, Hesse, these are Werne, Leipzig, Rheinberg, Bad Hersfeld, Koblenz and Graben. The background to the strike is the wage dispute that has been smoldering for years between the union and Amazon. Verdi has been fighting for years to ensure that Amazon employees get a collective agreement and are paid according to the tariff for retail and mail order.

According to Verdi, around 3,300 women and men work across all five shifts in Bad Hersfeld. Since Sunday night they have been called to participate in the action planned until Wednesday. On Monday morning, the union counted around 300 people absent from work.

Group: No impact for customers

“Amazon spends millions on advertising and makes billions of dollars in sales on the days of the campaign. The employees in the shipping centers have to cope with the influx of customers and don’t get a cent for the increased workload,” said Orhan Akman, who is responsible for retail and mail order at Verdi. Amazon said the group does not expect any impact on customers. Amazon already offers “excellent pay, excellent additional services and excellent career opportunities – all in a safe, modern work environment”.

A spokesman pointed out that the starting wages for all employees in the German logistics network would be increased to the equivalent of at least twelve euros gross per hour from July. In autumn 2022, this is expected to rise to 12.50 euros. In addition, Amazon pays a special allowance for overtime, life and disability insurance and contributions to company pension schemes.

“Far from recognition and respect”

Amazon’s payment currently lags behind Verdi’s tariff requirement in retail and mail order, which is 12.50 euros for all employees. The union is harshly criticizing the group: Verdi called the announced increase in starting salaries to twelve euros per hour “cynical and far from recognition and respect”. Amazon behaves “like a landlord” who, when in a good mood, “has a few benefits for his day laborers”. The trade union is demanding that the federal government facilitate the path to generally binding collective bargaining provisions so that all companies in the respective industry are bound by them.

Debate about opening times Shop on Sundays until Christmas?

Status: 19.06.2021 2:58 p.m.

Brick-and-mortar retail suffered a lot in the pandemic, while online retailing gained tremendously. DIW, Städtebund and the trade association HDE are now calling for more flexible opening times to help stimulate the economy. The union ver.di warns. The President of the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW), Marcel Fratzscher, calls for opening hours to be relaxed in view of the difficult situation of many retailers. “A liberalization of the shop opening times is urgently required so that the stationary retail trade can assert itself in the competition against the online trade and secure jobs,” said Fratzscher to the “Handelsblatt”.

Flexibility required until the end of the year

The economist stood by the side of the trade association HDE. He had suggested leaving the shops open on Sundays at least until the end of the year. This gives retailers the chance to make up at least part of the sales lost during the lockdowns and would also be a signal to people that the city centers are open again. In addition, there should be more reliable rules for a legally secure occasional Sunday opening.

The Association of Towns and Municipalities also spoke out in favor of it. “We now have to do everything we can to ensure that our inner cities and town centers do not become deserted,” said managing director Gerd Landsberg to the “Handelsblatt”. “It would be a positive signal to allow additional Sunday opening hours.” Landsberg referred to the threatening situation of the trade and the danger for hundreds of thousands of jobs.

“Small but important signal”

Over 100,000 retail stores could close or not open at all, Landsberg said. This would put almost 500,000 jobs at stake. The online trade, on the other hand, was open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and was able to increase its sales to over 72 billion euros last year due to the pandemic. Additional Sunday opening hours would therefore be “a small but important signal that the city centers and town centers have a future”.

“Development cannot be reversed”

Fratzscher explained: “Due to the pandemic, there was a massive shift towards online trading, which will not be completely reversed even after the pandemic.” However, fair competitive conditions did not mean that people could shop online 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but stationary retail trade had a “tight corset” and had to be closed on Sundays.

“Instead of sanctions or charges for online trading, politics should make stationary retailing more attractive,” said Fratzscher. In addition to more flexible shopping times, this also includes modern urban concepts that make inner cities more attractive again. “This not only has an immediate economic value, it is also very important from a social and societal perspective that people meet and come into contact with one another.”

Ver.di sees “general attack”

The FDP already supported the HDE’s advance as a suitable economic aid for the retail sector. The trade union ver.di, on the other hand, rejected him as an overly short-sighted “general attack on the trade workers, their families, but also on the Basic Law”.

After eight messages, I still don’t know who I met This fragmented expression is a habit of many people when chatting online, but it is not universal. Most of them appear in specific communication objects and scenes. such as,Familiar friends and relatives, when talking about daily topics, it may be easier to break out a sentence at will; while in more formal scenes such as work communication, the frequency of similar expressions may drop a lot. Chat with friends, on some more lively and relaxed topics , For example, when you follow stars, watch dramas, and share anecdotes, your dialogue may look like this: Which star girl has never sighed that her brother is so handsome And in some formal workplaces, or when communicating with teachers and elders, You moreIt may be possible to edit the good news in advance, carefully consider each sentence, and then send the news. When talking to the teacher, I always want to put everything into a message Of course, apart from objects and scenes, fragmented language is also nourished by the special attributes of social media of. Nowadays, the commonly used social software was also a typical place for fragmented expression at the beginning of its birth, and it assumed more auxiliary social functions. With the changes in technology and environment, social media has gradually evolved into a major social tool, even surpassing offline communication, which also bears a deeper need for communication. At this time, in some special scenes, Fragmented expression can help emphasize emotions and become a magnifying glass of emotions . For example, when talking with a friend about academic troubles, it may be like this: A sense of despair overflows the screen In a similar special context, a sentence composed of cross-messages can strengthen the special mood of the speaker in the scene and set off a specific atmosphere. In short, for fragmented expression that is becoming more and more common, some people regard it as a normal expression habit, which is simple, stress-free, and interesting. Others regard it as an inappropriate way of communication, believing that it increases the pressure of information overload and makes people one step away from “speaking well.” And more often, it is an invisible phenomenon that has not attracted special attention. Zhihu has also discussed this issue.Image source: Zhihu Why is a sentence divided into several pieces of information to send? 1. The impact of changes in media channels In the answers to related questions about Zhihu, some netizens said: “People who have been tortured by text messages (that’s me) naturally like to develop separately when they use WeChat chat software.” This answer reveals a background in which fragmented expression can be understood- Changes in media channels have reduced the cost of communication. In the pre-social media era, people used text messages, letters, emails, etc. to overcome the obstacles to offline communication, but most of these methods limited the way of expression from different sides: one text message and five text messages correspond to different costs. The mail has a fixed format, and the writing procedure is more cumbersome. It takes time to write it, send it, and wait for a reply. Nowadays, the popularization of the Internet and the dominance of social media have ended the era of “inch-and-inch” communication, and people have been liberated from restrained and prudent communication.So, a sentence is divided into several messages and sent, Perhaps it is a kind of “retaliatory consumption” for remote communication, and it is also a new way of communication in new media channels. 2. Adapt to online social communication scenarios Fragmented communication is also an adaptation to online communication scenarios. In the online chat scene, in addition to the words spoken, the tone, expression, expression and eyes of the other party can all convey effective information at the same time. These are all difficult to achieve in the online space. From this point of view, fragmented speech can strengthen the tone to a certain extent, convey information other than text, and adjust the atmosphere of the chat. A message that is too long inevitably makes people feel like they have received a small composition More specifically, the cutting of a sentence is not done randomly. It is often divided into different fragments such as adjectives, nouns, pronouns, and even a punctuation, each corresponding to a different meaning. The separation of elements allows different language fragments to be separated, which can help the other party to get to the point of speaking. For example, when “I am super xxx!” becomes “I”, “super”, “xxx”, and “!”, the latter seems to convey the emotional characteristics of the words more clearly on the small mobile phone screen. In addition, fragmented expressions are also compatible with the immediate nature of social media communication. In instant messaging software, it is a universal need for communication to maintain the presence status and let information arrive in time in the shortest possible time. Therefore, no punctuation, typos caused by the input method, no withdrawal, and correction in the second line are common phenomena in instant communication. And send short sentences of three or five characters, arranged line by line, It reduces the difficulty of editing and modification, and it is also a kind of “meeting” to the immediacy feature. [1] 3. Become a discourse symbol for online communication Guo Qingguang’s “Communication Course” mentioned that in human social communication activities, information is the unity of signs and meanings, signs are the external forms or material carriers of information, and meanings are the spiritual content of information.[2] Communication in social media is a process of symbolic interaction, and language symbols are the most important type of presentation. From the perspective of symbols, the information transmission form of “dividing a sentence into multiple messages” is also an angle to understand its meaning and meaning. Compared with a long message that is composed of paragraphs and sentences, the symbol of a short sentence message is a more direct and simple expression. Long sentences seem to require more attention and energy, while short sentences are easier to understand. Each one conveys clear meaning and can reduce the pressure and burden of communication. From this perspective, a sentence that is divided into blocks is a special text symbol-like voice, emoticon symbols, etc., it undertakes the needs of online expression and exerts different communication functions. This symbol also has a role other than the content itself.In addition to the aforementioned adjustment of the chat atmosphere, strengthening of tone and emphasis, and catering to immediacy, there are Maintain the consistency of words in the chat, and even grab attention. Imagine a scenario where you want to say an important thing to your friend, but when you are still typing and editing in the chat box, the topic has been transferred to a new thing by your friend, or your friend can’t wait, exit first The chat interface. If you and your friends like to post short sentences, your chat may become chaotic due to multi-threading Therefore, in order to overcome this “communication dislocation” during online chat, it is better to preemptively send the message while chatting. The disassembled discourse symbol conveys the message itself, and also keeps the other party in a state of receiving the message, indirectly maintaining the stability of the discussion topic. On social media where “squandering flowers are becoming glamorous”, this may indeed be a way to ensure smooth and timely communication. 4. A piece of puzzle in a fragmented world From a broader perspective, the fragmented expression of chat in social media can be regarded as a specific manifestation of fragmentation. Fragmentation is a commonplace and real communication feature in contemporary digital life. It grows together with the innovation of information communication technology, and affects our way of thinking, media channels, and speech expression. Social media is an important soil for fragmented information. Different from the public domain in the traditional sense, the virtual space constructed by social media represented by WeChat has the characteristics of information fragmentation. In WeChat chats (especially group chats), the behavior of discussion participants is close to a kind of “square expression”, and everyone can express it at any time, so the utterance expression is often discrete and diffuse.[3] Diffusion expressions are everywhere here. From the previous words such as “unminded jueli” to the abbreviations such as “yyds” nowadays, people seem to always tend to use the least words to convey meaning, and they are used to constructing common uniqueness with special symbols Discourse space. After getting used to the ubiquitous fragmentation, people’s nerves may not be so sensitive to splitting a sentence into several messages, and they naturally accept and use this method unconsciously—fragment, right? Familiar. Fragmented expression, promote or hinder the spread? For a long time, people’s attitudes have been mixed with regard to the way to split a sentence into multiple messages. People who are accustomed to use this as a way of decompressing online communication, adding a bit of relaxation and fun to the chat, and reducing the difficulty of reading and understanding. However, there are also opposing attitudes that an increasing number of messages will at least increase the burden of information in terms of quantity, and also eliminate the already broken language. Different views on this behavior.Image source: Zhihu Factors such as attitudes towards social media and language habits have affected people’s different judgments. But at least it is undeniable that this habit seems to have been embedded in our daily communication unknowingly and has become commonplace. Back to the origin, chat is a process of information transmission. From the perspective of information dissemination, this fragmented expression also has two possible directions. One is positive- Fragmented expression can help both parties understand information more easily and efficiently in online communication. In social media networks with information overload, this can be a self-controllable way to decompress. The other is the opposite direction, That is, fragmented news may hinder information dissemination, cause misunderstandings, and reduce efficiency. How to understand this misunderstanding? On the one hand, the behavior of “sending a sentence into multiple messages” is not accustomed to and accepted by everyone. Therefore, when this kind of news appears in untimely occasions-such as in formal group chats, at work, or facing a communication partner who attaches great importance to communication norms, it may accidentally cause the other party’s impression of themselves to be reduced, even if this Not your true image. On the other hand, the dispersed language itself can also cause misunderstandings. In the scattered words and sentences, the sequence of the utterances is easy to be confused, and the logic is more likely to be unreasonable. Waiting until the person on the opposite side of the chat box assembles these fragments and understands it clearly, which may consume more energy than typing out a paragraph. Of course, social media is not static, and some of its own functions are directly/indirectly helping to improve the efficiency of information dissemination. For example, the frequently used WeChat “quote” function can allow people to mark key points in cumbersome messages. When faced with a sentence composed of multiple fragments, the recipient is also more likely to grasp a symbol to respond. In short, this microscopic phenomenon of “a sentence is divided into multiple messages” is also a perspective for us to look beyond the established framework to examine social media and self-expression. Regardless of the attitude toward this report, the language signs that are in sentences or fragments are actually the need for people to seek communication and connection. At least, our common expectation is a more efficient, friendly, and less big communication space. 1.

BGH on Legal Tech When the software replaces the lawyer

Status: 06/17/2021 6:46 a.m.

Anyone who wants to draw up an individual contract goes to a lawyer. That’s how it was before. In the meantime, however, this can also be done online, without legal assistance. The BGH is now examining whether this is permissible. What are the sticking points?

By Kerstin Anabah and Pia Brandsch-Böhm

What is the specific case about?

The publisher Wolters Kluwer offers the legal document generator “Smartlaw”. With the help of the software, private individuals and companies can create and then purchase individual legal documents, such as rental agreements. To do this, customers have to answer 30 to 40 questions. The whole thing was “modeled on the conversation with the lawyer”, according to the original advertisement.

Wolters Kluwer is not admitted to the bar and is not licensed to provide legal services. The Hamburg Bar Association has therefore sued the publisher (Az. I ZR 113/20). She sees the Legal Tech offer as an anti-competitive violation of the Legal Services Act. It regulates who is allowed to provide legal services – for example lawyers or debt collection companies.

How have the courts decided so far?

The Cologne Regional Court gave the Bar Association in law. It saw in the contract generator a violation of the Legal Services Act. Wolters Kluwer appealed against this to the Cologne Higher Regional Court – with success. According to the Cologne Higher Regional Court, this is not a legal service, as there is no human (service) performance. The documents would be created by software. There is no customer contact because the customer operates the software himself. In addition, no legal examination of the individual case is necessary, since the program runs according to a fixed routine and a situation is only inserted into a given grid.

Have there already been judgments in similar cases?

As early as 2019, the Federal Court of Justice ruled on a legal aid program in the ruling on “kleineermiete.de”. At that time the question was whether a rental price calculator represents a collection or a legal service. With this online calculator, customers could see by entering their data whether they were paying too much rent and immediately defend themselves against it. For this purpose, the program directly commissioned the company behind it to enforce the rights. The BGH has declared this rental price calculator to be permissible.

How the first civil senate decides in the case of the contract generator is open. The industry for such offers is booming. The ruling is therefore likely to be another important step towards greater legal certainty.

Online competition is growing Fashion retail in upheaval

Status: 16.06.2021 7:16 p.m.

The sale of fashion on the Internet is booming: The Otto subsidiary About You, which launched successfully on the stock exchange today, is growing rapidly. Stationary fashion retailers, on the other hand, are increasingly disappearing. Do you still have a future? The former glamor of the fashion industry has long since vanished in German city centers. There is bare existential fear. Many fashion retailers feel they have been stripped down to the last shirt. In the corona pandemic, textile retailers and manufacturers had to give up in a row. Well-known names such as Escada, Hallhuber, Bonita, Appelrath Cüpper and Adler-Modemärkte filed for bankruptcy. More fashion retailers will soon follow, predict the credit insurer Euler Hermes and the textile trade association (BTE). Euler Hermes does not expect a return to pre-crisis levels until 2023.

“Home office and suit don’t go together”

During the lockdown, new clothes were hardly in demand. Who needs an expensive new outfit for work at home? “Home office and suit don’t go together,” says Gerd Oliver Seidensticker, President of German Fashion.

The turnover in the fashion industry shrank in the Corona year by more than 20 percent to around twelve billion euros. “The pandemic has plunged the fashion industry into a deep crisis,” complains German fashion boss Seidensticker. “Many of our companies are dependent on help from the state.”

Structural crisis even before Corona

But even before the pandemic, the stationary fashion houses were under pressure. Corona has accelerated the structural crisis in the industry. Sales in stationary retail have been declining for years. The death of fashion retailers began a long time ago. Between 2010 and 2019, the number of companies in the clothing industry fell by 31 percent, according to a study by the management consultancy PwC. Retail expert Gerrit Heinemann, retail expert at the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences, speaks up tagesschau.de of a “collective restructuring case”.

The increasing low-cost competition from textile discounters such as Primark and the triumphant advance of online retail have long been troubling the classic fashion industry. Online retailers such as Zalando and About You are flourishing. Only H&M and Zara have successfully resisted the online competition and also held their own in the Corona crisis.

More and more mono labels

There is also a trend towards mono labels. More and more fashion manufacturers such as Hugo Boss or the sporting goods supplier Adidas are setting up their own flagship stores and selling their products there – to the chagrin of classic fashion retailers who traditionally follow the multi-label approach.

The end of the multi-month lockdown and the return of walk-in customers in the cities should give the stationary fashion retail some breathing space again in the short term. In the long run, however, the industry has to reinvent itself, demand experts. Only those who meet the needs of customers with innovative concepts will survive, says PwC retail expert Stefan Schwertel.

Regional or sustainable concepts as a way out?

Heinemann sees the Mannheim fashion retailer Engelhorn as a positive example. The company has focused on a regional market and now sells a good half of its clothing over the Internet.

Other fashion retailers focus on niches such as sustainability. Some also flee into the arms of their biggest competitor, Zalando. A good 2,400 stationary fashion retailers now also sell their clothing via the Zalando “Connected Retail” platform.

Model H&M and Zara

Above all, however, Zalando is using that and is not enough to save the stationary business permanently, complain experts like Gerrit Heinemann from the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences. “This is a one-way street.” In his opinion, stationary fashion retailers should primarily operate on demand in the future – following the example of H&M and Zara. In fact, C&A is currently starting to produce jeans “on demand” at the Mönchengladbach location in Germany.

The traditional fashion house Köhler from Hessen is breaking new ground. It offers fashion advice and sales via video. The customer fills out a questionnaire on the Internet before receiving a video consultation. During the video call, the customer then decides what he wants to have delivered to his home. The concept is particularly worthwhile with regular customers, says Paula Vordemfelde, managing director of Köhler. Her motto: “We have to be creative and be able to react quickly.”

Online fashion retailer About You starts on the stock exchange

Status: 16.06.2021 3:14 p.m.

The online fashion retailer About You, an offshoot of the traditional mail order company Otto, has gone public. Business is doing brilliantly in the pandemic – more Internet retailers will follow. From Victor Gojdka, ARD stock exchange studio When a fashion retailer goes public, the traders on the trading floor also pay attention to the right thread. Blue suit, polished shoes – tie fits. You can start trading with the fashion retailer About You. Serhad Gündogan from Baader Bank announced the first price: 25.60 euros. A good start for the online fashion retailer who ships almost everything from jackets, pants, jeans to low shoes. It generated more than a billion in sales in the past fiscal year. With a very special target group, says financial expert Volker Brühl from the Center for Financial Studies: “Above all, very young people who are very internet-savvy and naturally use their smartphones to go shopping. And that is what sets About You apart from Zalando. ”

Money for international growth

The IPO brought the company around 650 million euros into the cash register. And the company leaders already have ideas of what they want to do with this money, says stock exchange expert Brühl. “You currently have around one billion euros in sales. That is still comparatively little – and that is why you have to invest heavily in international expansion. In marketing too, of course, which also costs money.” Stock exchange expert Robert Halver from Baader Bank is also on the floor today. Baader Bank took care of the IPO behind the scenes – and Halver himself likes to order online: “I’m an avid clothes buyer on the Internet, so I hate going into stores.” It is true that not everything always fits when you buy clothes online. “But I prefer that to having to stand in a row. That’s the worst thing there is for me.”

March 16, 2021

More and more customers are shopping online

According to Halver, he personally did not suffer from Corona and the closure of the retail trade. And investors are also hoping for this sales boom with Corona. About You shares have now climbed to as much as 26.80 euros. And other online retailers such as Bike24 or the glasses mail order company Mr. Spex also want to go to the floor. A real boom in IPOs, says Halver. “The mood on the stock exchange is good.” And when the mood on the stock exchange is good, companies are inclined – if they were toying with the idea of ​​going public anyway – to take advantage of this good mood. “Who goes public when we have a crash? Nobody does that. But no one knows whether the online boom will continue after the corona easing. The boom in IPOs in Frankfurt: it harbors risks for investors.

At noon on the same day, discuss with Newspaper Workers, A leader of the Department of Cybersecurity and High-Tech Crime Prevention (A05 – Ministry of Public Security) said that the unit has received an official dispatch from the Voice of Vietnam Electronic Newspaper. Currently, the Department of Cybersecurity and High-Tech Crime Prevention and a number of professional units of the Ministry of Public Security have investigated and clarified. Website VOV Newspaper is not accessible at the time – Photo: Screenshot Like Newspaper Laborer It was reported that from the evening of June 12, the access to Vov.vn electronic newspaper had difficulties, the transmission line was slow. By 12 o’clock on June 13, readers could not access the Vov.vn link at all. According to the technical department of the Voice of Vietnam Electronic Newspaper, this is the result of a denial of service (DDoS) attack that overflows the bandwidth, making access to the newspaper crippled. At the same time, the fanpage of this newspaper also received tens of thousands of negative and offensive comments. The agency has been in contact with Google and Facebook to handle the related issues.

As an old rival, Ma Huateng, seeing Ma Yun’s success in Internet finance, he was naturally unwilling to lag behind. In the same year that Ma Yun launched Huabaiboraibai on Alipay, he launched the WeChat version of “boraibai”-particles on WeChat. loan. Nowadays, many WeChat users have opened the micro-daily, enjoying the convenience of micro-daily. Compared with borrowing, the microfinance loan can obtain a higher amount and the installment time is longer.

Although Weixindai is easy to use, it is beyond reach for most WeChat users. This is because Weixindai uses a whitelist invitation system, and only WeChat users who have received the invitation are eligible to activate it. Regrettably, there are only tens of millions of users with invitation quota, which is really pitiful compared to the 1.2 billion people on WeChat.

However, I want to tell you a good news. Even if you have not received the invitation of Moto Loan, you can still enjoy the loan service in WeChat. Because the new function of WeChat is online, you can easily get 20,000 yuan without Moto Loan. Blessed are those who borrowed money. Below is a summary of the applications for borrowing money in WeChat.

First, micro-finance loans. This is an official WeChat loan application, and it is a loan product of Tencent WeBank. However, it has higher requirements for users. Users who need to receive official invitations can be activated. You cannot apply for it yourself.

Second, pay separately. This is also the official credit product of WeChat, known as the WeChat version of Huabei. In the future, when using WeChat Pay, you may be able to use “individual payment” to pay first, and then extend the payment within the billing period or pay the bill in installments.

Third, sesame has rice. It is an Internet loan service launched on the WeChat public platform. The function is the same as that of Micro Loan, but the advantages are obvious. No invitation is required. After paying attention, you can get a good amount after opening. Generally, you can get more than 20,000 for the first time, and the credit is very good. If it is 100,000, it is very possible, and it also supports installment, up to 12 installments, up to 200,000, which is very friendly to users who need turnover.

Distributed payment is a new feature of WeChat. It is a credit payment product. Like Huabei, it supports payment after payment. Red envelopes and transfers are not available for the time being. WeChat orders that there is no interest-free period, and interest is calculated on a daily basis, and the amount of the loan is repaid. The amount is comprehensively evaluated by the system. The repayment situation will affect the WeChat payment points.

Many users have heard of split payment, but do not know where to activate, then you can follow the steps below to check.

Step 1: After opening My WeChat, click “I”, “Pay” and “Wallet” in turn, and then you can see the “Payment” icon on the wallet page, just above the bank card.

Step 2: Click on this icon. If it is approved, the quota will be given to you. If it is not approved, the following picture will be displayed.

If it is activated, it is naturally a very happy thing. It can be used when the capital turnover is required, but it does not matter if it is not activated. Maintain good credit and use WeChat more. You can also activate it.

So, is your split payment activated? What’s the quota? Welcome to share.

A leader of the Department of Cybersecurity and High-Tech Crime Prevention (Ministry of Public Security) also confirmed that he had received an official letter from VOV. Currently, the Department of Cybersecurity and High-Tech Crime Prevention and a number of professional units of the Ministry of Public Security have investigated and clarified. In addition, the Cyber ​​Emergency Response Center (VNCERT) and network operators also participate in supporting and solving problems. At the time of the cyber attack, readers could not access the website of VOV newspaper. Photo: VOV. Exchange with Zing , a representative of VOV’s technical department said that cyberattacks on the agency’s resource system began on June 12. At about 13:00 on June 13, the bandwidth system was overloaded, suspected of being attacked by a denial of service (DDoS). On the morning of June 14, the administrator continued to record a new attack that caused the bandwidth of the system and the website to be overloaded. This is the first time this newspaper has been attacked by DDoS. In addition to the above attacks, the VOV side also believes that the person behind the attacks also discredits the stars of the VOV electronic newspaper on Google or repeatedly makes offensive and threatening comments on the newspaper’s fanpage. The VOV side is reviewing and detecting malicious code in the system, and at the same time limiting the consequences of cyberattacks, calculating damage to coordinate with authorities to solve.

Witnessing this 1-0-2 durian moment, all netizens were shocked because life was not like a dream. Although very confident in the seller’s skill of choosing durian, when receiving the product, many people “clicked their tongue” bored.

The listing rumors have been brewing for more than three years. In the morning of June 11, Didi finally submitted a prospectus and launched an IPO in the United States.

According to the prospectus, Didi’s stock code is “DIDI”, with Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, and China Renaissance Capital acting as underwriters.

Since its establishment, Didi has gone through 22 rounds of financing with a total financing amount of nearly 80 billion yuan, making it a well-deserved financing expert.

However, from the perspective of performance, Didi’s online car-hailing seems to be huge, but only has a meager profit of 3.1%; international business is still losing money, and there are large variables due to the epidemic; new businesses such as freight and community group buying have just started. It is still a “cash-burning” machine, and profit is far from expected.

Performance dismantling: loss is still the main theme

Let’s look at the performance first. From 2018 to 2020, Didi’s revenue was 135.3 billion yuan, 154.8 billion yuan and 141.7 billion yuan, respectively. In the first quarter of this year, Didi’s revenue was 42.2 billion yuan.

From the above figures, it can be seen that in the past three years, Didi’s revenue growth has not been significant. Affected by factors such as the new crown epidemic in 2020, overall revenue has also declined slightly. However, the impact of the epidemic was eased in the second half of last year. The prospectus shows that in the second half of last year, the total transaction volume of Didi’s travel business in China was 121.6 billion yuan, an increase of 80.3% over the first half of the year and an increase of 12.2% over the second half of 2019.

In addition, losses are still the main theme of Didi. In the past three years, Didi’s net losses were 15 billion yuan, 9.7 billion yuan, and 10.6 billion yuan, respectively. The adjusted non-GAAP profits were 8.6 billion yuan, 2.8 billion yuan and 8.4 billion yuan. In the first quarter of this year, due to the unrecognized income of 9.1 billion yuan and an investment income of 3.3 billion yuan from the spin-off of Orange Heart Optimal, the investment income reached 12.36 billion yuan, Didi turned losses, net profit reached 5.5 billion yuan, and an adjusted loss of 5.5 billion yuan. yuan.

In terms of business, the main sources of Didi’s revenue are divided into three categories, namely, China’s travel business (China’s online car-hailing, taxi, agent driving and ride-hailing businesses), international business (international travel and food delivery, etc.) and Other businesses (shared bicycles and motorcycles, car service, freight, autonomous driving, financial services, etc.).

In 2020, these three types of income will be 133.6 billion yuan, 2.3 billion yuan and 5.8 billion yuan respectively. Among them, China’s travel business is the most important source of income, and the proportion of China’s travel business to total revenue is as high as 94.3%.

Among various expenditures, operating costs account for a large proportion, mainly commissions and subsidies paid to drivers. In the past three years, Didi’s gross profit margin was 5.5%, 9.8% and 11.2%, showing an upward trend year by year.

Among various expenses, marketing and marketing expenses accounted for the highest proportion. Last year, the total amount reached 11.14 billion yuan, accounting for 7.86% of total revenue. Followed by general and administrative expenses, about 7.55 billion yuan, accounting for 5.33% of total revenue.

Although as of the end of last year, Didi had 15,914 full-time employees worldwide, including 7,110 R&D employees, which accounted for 44.7% of R&D employees, the proportion of Didi’s technology and R&D related expenses was not the highest: last year it was 63.2 100 million yuan, accounting for 4.46% of total revenue. Finally, operating and support expenses are 4.70 billion yuan, accounting for about 3.32% of revenue.

In terms of operations, in the 12 months ending March 31, 2021, Didi has been operating in more than 4,000 cities and towns in 15 countries around the world. The total transaction volume of the whole platform is 341 billion yuan, of which Didi’s core platform GTV (referring to GTV in China’s travel and international markets) reached 244.2 billion yuan. With the exception of community group buying, the average daily order volume of all businesses reached 41 million, the annual active users reached 493 million, and the annual active drivers were 15 million.

However, the current progress is still far from the “0188” plan released by Didi in March last year. The “0188” plan shows that Didi will serve more than 100 million orders per day during the three years from 2020 to 2022, with a penetration rate of more than 8% for all domestic trips, and a global service user MAU of more than 800 million.

What is more worrying is that in Didi’s “main battlefield” Chinese market, the number of orders has shown a downward trend year by year, and the customer unit price has not increased significantly.

The number of Didi orders in the Chinese market dropped from 8.79 billion orders in 2018 to 8.67 billion orders in 2019 to 7.75 billion orders. However, this trend also has business adjustments and environmental factors. In 2019, Didi discontinued its ride-hailing business. Under the new crown epidemic in 2020, people will go out less frequently, and Didi has also suspended cross-city orders and ride-sharing services. In terms of customer unit prices, they were 23.3 yuan, 23.3 yuan and 24.4 yuan respectively in three years.

However, Didi has achieved profitability in the Chinese travel market: adjusted pre-interest and tax profit of 3.84 billion yuan in 2019, 3.96 billion yuan in 2020, and 3.62 billion yuan in the first quarter of 2021.

The rake puzzle: online car-hailing profit margin is only 3.1%

After the ride-hailing incident occurred in 2018, the outside world had a lot of discussions about Didi. In addition to inadequate security measures, the question of Didi’s profitability was the most acute.

Just when everyone thought that Didi was earning a lot of money, some media broke the news that Didi had “a total loss of 10.9 billion yuan in 2018 and a driver’s subsidy of 11.3 billion yuan”, and “the total loss in the six years of its business has exceeded. 40 billion yuan”.

Entering 2020, discussions on Didi’s high commission rate remain high, with some drivers claiming that the commission rate for some orders has even reached more than 30%. In response, Didi issued a statement stating that the proportion of such “extreme rake orders” was 2.7% last year, and it has now been reduced to 0.03%. The next step will allow this number to continue to decline until it is completely eliminated. Today, Didi has launched a transparent billing function, and drivers can view the flow of funds for orders in the past 7 days.

As a matter of fact, the situation regarding the commission of the online car-hailing business can be seen in the prospectus.

Look at the whole first. The prospectus shows that from 2018 to the first quarter of 2021, drivers from around the world earned more than 600 billion yuan in revenue on the Didi platform. In the Chinese market, in the online car-hailing business in 2020, the total revenue and incentives received by drivers will reach 117.4 billion yuan.

In the prospectus, Didi detailed the financial status of Didi in China’s travel market in 2020.

Last year, Didi’s total transaction volume in the domestic travel market was 189 billion yuan, of which the transaction volume from online car-hailing business (excluding taxis, private cars, and ride-hailing, etc.) was 148.6 billion yuan.

Excluding expenses spent on consumer subsidies and road tolls, Didi’s total revenue was 133.6 billion yuan. Among them, 110.5 billion yuan was used as driver income, accounting for 82% of revenue; 6.9 billion yuan was used as driver incentives, accounting for 5.2% of revenue, and the two together accounted for 87.9% of Didi’s total revenue, accounting for approximately total online car-hailing 79% of the transaction volume is consistent with Didi’s previously announced commission.

Earlier, on May 7, Didi car-hailing issued a statement on the “rake”, stating that in 2020, Didi car-hailing drivers accounted for 79.1% of the total payable by passengers. Of the remaining 20.9%, 10.9% are passenger subsidies, 6.9% are corporate operating costs (technology research and development, servers, security, customer service, manpower, offline operations, etc.), taxation and payment handling fees, etc., and 3.1% are online appointments Net profit of car business.

Overall, excluding driver income and driver subsidies, Didi will receive 16.2 billion yuan in its online car-hailing business. Excluding 12.2 billion yuan in operating expenses, Didi’s online car-hailing business before interest, tax and amortization The profit reached 4 billion yuan, and the profit rate was about 3.1%.

Didi doesn’t want to be just online ride-hailing

The slow revenue growth and the meager profit of domestic online car-hailing have forced Didi to find the next growth point.

In 2018, Didi began its international expansion, trying to replicate its experience in the Chinese market to the world, and was the first to enter Brazil, Mexico, Australia, and Japan. Prospectus data shows that Didi currently has operations in 15 countries around the world.

However, in the case of China’s local online car-hailing is only a meager profit, it is conceivable that it is difficult for the international business to make a profit, especially in the context of the new crown epidemic in foreign countries where there are still large variables. From the beginning of 2018 to the first quarter of this year, Didi’s international business losses have accumulated more than 10 billion yuan.

But one problem is that a series of new businesses such as shared bicycles and motorcycles, car services, freight transport, autonomous driving, and financial services only brought Didi 5.76 billion yuan in revenue last year, but at the same time it brought more than 8.8 billion yuan. The loss is more than twice the profit of online car-hailing.

This year, the loss has further expanded. In the first quarter of this year, the loss of new business in a single quarter reached 8.08 billion yuan. From 2018 to the first quarter of 2021, Didi’s losses in new businesses have totaled more than 26 billion yuan.

It is worth noting that these new businesses have completed independent spin-offs and financing in the first half of this year.

Last year, Qingju launched a round of financing. SoftBank and some other investors invested US$134 million and Didi invested US$750 million. At the beginning of this year, Qingju launched a Series B financing again, in which external investors invested US$166 million and Didi subscribed. A share of US$300 million in equity financing and a US$100 million in convertible notes. Qingju is currently valued at US$1.9 billion, and Didi holds 88.3%;

In the first quarter of this year, Didi Freight received US$1.5 billion in Series A financing, the latest valuation is US$2.8 billion, and Didi currently holds 57.6% of the shares;

Didi’s autonomous driving company has completed a US$1.5 billion Series A financing, with a valuation of US$3.4 billion, and Didi’s shareholding ratio is 70.4%.

Orange Heart Optimal conducted A1 and A2 rounds of financing in March this year. Among them, the A1 round of SoftBank Vision Fund injected US$900 million and the rest of the external investors injected US$100 million; the A2 round was funded by the management of about US$200 million, and the financing was completed. After Didi’s equity fell to 32.8%, it was no longer consolidated. However, in the A2 round, Orange Heart Pride issued USD 3 billion of convertible bonds to Didi. Didi has the right to convert the bonds into stocks before the expiration date of the convertible bonds and become the controlling shareholder of Orange Heart Pride again.

Although these new businesses are at a loss, it is not difficult to see how much Didi attaches importance to internationalization and new businesses from the purpose of fundraising: 30% of the funds raised are used to expand business in international markets outside of China; 30% The raised funds are used to improve technical capabilities including shared travel, electric vehicles and autonomous driving; the remaining about 20% will be used to launch new products and expand existing product categories to continuously improve user experience.

Today, Didi’s listing process has begun, but it will take more time to wait for these new businesses to grow into the next “ace” besides online car-hailing.

Online optician Mister Spex wants to go public

Status: 14.06.2021 11:16 a.m.

The list of companies that want to go public on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange this year is getting longer and longer. Now the online optician Mister Spex is also planning to go out onto the floor to finance its expansion course. The Berlin online optician Mister Spex needs fresh money to finance its expansion plans abroad and wants to go public on the Frankfurt stock exchange by the end of September. The company would like to sell new shares from a capital increase as well as papers from existing shareholders and raise at least 225 million euros. It is Mister Spex’s second attempt to go public. There were already plans in 2018 to finance growth with the help of an IPO. Ultimately, however, the company managed to raise the necessary money through new financing rounds from private investors, so that the IPO was canceled. The shareholders include investors such as Goldman Sachs, DN Capital, Intershop founder Stephan Schambach and StudiVZ founder Ehssan Dariani. Global Growth Capital, a subsidiary of the Internet holding company Rocket Internet, also provided a loan.

Strong increase in sales

Founder and CEO Dirk Graber is quoted as saying: “The IPO is the next logical step for us to strengthen our position as a leading, fundamentally digitally oriented European omnichannel optical brand and to support our long-term growth strategy.” In fact, since its founding at the end of 2007, Mister Spex has succeeded in taking market share from the dominant optician chains in Germany, Fielmann and Apollo, and showing that buying glasses on the Internet can work just as well as in brick-and-mortar stores. Last year, the company increased its sales disproportionately to 164 million euros (plus 18 percent), while Fielmann’s revenues fell by six percent to 1.4 billion euros.

More than 40 own branches

At the European level, revenue in the eyewear market has even fallen by 13 percent. In the first quarter of 2021, Mister Spex is also reporting “sustained momentum” with sales growth of 27 percent compared to the first quarter of 2021. In addition, Mister Spex achieved a positive operating result of seven million euros last year. Despite the strong growth on the Internet, Mister Spex has opened more and more stationary branches in recent years. The company now operates 42 branches of its own in Germany, Austria and Sweden. The managing director Mirko Caspar told the “Handelsblatt” that in the long term half of the sales should be generated in the branches. The figures showed that the combination of online shop, own stores and 400 partner opticians enabled rapid and extensive growth.

Bring a ruler: For clothing stores that do not have a fitting room, you should bring a measuring tape. If you like the shirt longer than the back, try the product on or use a measuring tape. Besides, for tight-fitting clothes, you need to accurately measure the circumference of 3 body circumferences. Image: Medium. 4. Measure the width of the pants by wrapping around the neck: To choose the right size, hold your jeans at the ends of your waist and wrap it around your neck. If the ends easily touch each other, that’s the right size for you. Note that the two ends of the belt don’t necessarily meet exactly, but they should easily wrap around your neck. In addition, weight can change over time, so if you have a body type that is easy to gain weight, you should choose a size that ranges from 3-5 cm. Image: Caak. 5. Wet clothes in front of the mirror: This is the easiest way for you to determine if the length of an outfit is right for you.

Like how he surprised, this press conference was no exception. Accordingly, from June 14, many people “fall back” when they received the notice of the CEO of this tens of billions of dollars in the status line on their personal Facebook: “Press conference will be held tomorrow Tuesday, June 15, 2021 on YouTube broadcast at 9:00 AM – 11:30 AM “. Mr. Nguyen Vu Quoc Anh, General Director of Auto Investment Group in an online “press conference”. The CEO’s online “press conference” attracted hundreds of views at the same time with the same number of comments. Most of them are people out of curiosity, want to see how. The content of the comments were all encapsulated in the advice of Nguyen Vu Quoc Anh “to be confused, less explosive, less delusional”. Some people also think that the CEO of Auto Investment Group is “crazy” when holding a press conference but only monologues with the computer. At the beginning of the story, Nguyen Vu Quoc Anh shared the company’s “great” ambition with the desire to digitally transform businesses and state agencies as well as individual business households; oriented to become a technology corporation representing Vietnam to the world to compete with other illustrious corporations to bring foreign currency to Vietnam. “This year’s revenue is expected to be about 10,000 billion from July to December. Since we have not been able to promote the markets of India, the US and China, I have not been able to open it yet, at the end of this June I will open the markets. this to bring in revenue for our market.Of course people think the number is huge but to me it is nothing. In 2022, I have to bring in 1 billion USD, don’t say our corporation is a startup, I am not a statup, if you think I am a startup, you are wrong. We go 500 times faster than the startup, next year’s revenue of 1 billion USD is not big for me, only approximately 25,000 billion VND. By 2023 – 2025 trying to bring in 30 billion USD, this number is formidable. We will cover 250 countries… In 2025-2027, the revenue is 50 billion USD, this number is really not small but also not big with our vision. In 2025, we will build a financial business center and automatic replication in Vietnam, if it is favorable, we will build 17 buildings representing 17 of our companies. Investment capital is about 30 billion USD, I said I will make it. CEO Auto Investment Group promises. The online “press conference” of the “big CEO” attracted hundreds of views at the same time with the same number of comments. With these huge numbers, it seems that everyone will pay special attention, but most followers just want to know how much money Anh’s huge corporation has “stored” in the account. However, his answer was once again shocking: “I have a lot of gray matter, I don’t have money right now, but if I have gray matter, I will have it all” . To make the argument convincing, Mr. Nguyen Vu Quoc Anh mentioned potential investment sources that can be easily mobilized: “Please Mr. Hai, Mr. Ba, Mr. Tu, Mr. Nam (big businesses in Vietnam) to support his brother, each person contributing a few billion dollars to the youngest brother is also an ok number… I want you alone. youngest brother, I wish my parents were the State. My brother and I are the big men of Vietnam who have the support of the youngest, of course we go out and play with them. It’s as simple as that.” For more than 1 hour “hosting the online press conference”, the information “remains” in the followers that this is an 8X CEO with “superior talent”. Because, through the information shared, it can be confirmed that at the moment, Nguyen Vu Quoc Anh does not have much. According to the research of PV VTC News, the Global Auto Technology Investment Group Joint Stock Company has its head office located on the 46th floor, Bitexco Financial Tower building (2 Hai Trieu Street, Ben Nghe, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City). .HCM). This company has 3 founding shareholders, in which Mr. Nguyen Vu Quoc Anh contributed VND 499,998 billion and 2 other individuals contributed VND 1 billion each, Nguyen Thi Diem Hang and Luu Huu Thien. The comments are all encapsulated in the advice of Nguyen Vu Quoc Anh to “be less confused, less explosive, less delusional”. Immediately after the announcement, this information immediately attracted the attention of many people. Because with the above charter capital, this enterprise is far ahead of the leading economic groups in Vietnam at the moment. However, according to the actual research of PV VTC News, the office address on the 46th floor, Bitexco Financial Tower building that Mr. Nguyen Vu Quoc Anh registered the company’s headquarters in is a virtual office. This office is currently operated by Compass Office (an enterprise specializing in providing virtual and serviced office rental services). Currently, the group’s only location is the private house of the CEO of 8X himself, an old grade 4 house on 3rd Street (Neighborhood 2, Phuoc Binh Ward, Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City).

Editor’s lead: Have you noticed that the way people chat has become short sentences, especially now that the chat between young people and young people is composed of short sentences full of screens, and the fragmented expression of this language can be displayed. The mood of the expresser; the author of this article has conducted a detailed analysis of this phenomenon, let’s take a look together.

“The other party is typing…” Two words popped out of the chat box.

“The other party is typing…” The chat box continued to pop up three words.

After five messages, I finally received a complete sentence.

You and I, who stay on social media every day and keep inputting and outputting messages, shouldn’t be unfamiliar with this way of chatting (a sentence is split into multiple messages to send).

When hundreds of millions of people have become accustomed to a communication method such as online communication, many noteworthy features have emerged throughout the process, such as the language inflation discussed earlier, the proliferation of emoticons, and the irregular use of punctuation.

In addition, “fragmented expression” is also a common phenomenon of communication. When chatting on the Internet, many users, especially young people, are becoming more and more accustomed to sending several messages in one sentence, and even one word and one punctuation should be a separate message. This is unthinkable in the past SMS era of bargaining.

In this issue, the All Media Group pays attention to the interesting phenomenon of fragment expression in social media chats, and analyzes the underlying causes and communication characteristics.

1. Language fragments in online chat

   The splicing of fragments of a sentence into different sentences is not born out of social networks.

   Recall the modern poem “Rain Alley” I read in middle school. The poem “Holding a paper umbrella, alone/wandering in a long, long/lonely rain lane” is also in a similar format. However, the fragments in today’s online communication are obviously not out of the need for literary expression and poetic beauty like the cross-line of poems.

   Today’s cross-line messages are mostly like this: the top of the dialog box always shows that the other party is typing, but the message received is a few words that keep popping up.

A common scenario is: After a lunch break, I picked up my phone and took a look. In the dialog box, there were dozens of unread messages sent by my friends. I quickly opened it. After climbing up the stairs to read, I found that only three complete sentences were actually spoken.

This situation is probably often seen in your chat history. With the transformation of communication technology and the growth of social media, fragmented language expression has become more and more common. This kind of “fragment” is not a bombardment of a complete sentence, but a sentence is divided into several messages and sent out separately.

After eight messages, I still don’t know who I met

This fragmented expression is a habit of many people when chatting online, but it is not universal. Most of it appears in specific communication objects and scenes.

For example, when talking to familiar friends and relatives, it may be easier to break out a sentence at will when talking about daily topics; while in more formal scenarios such as work communication, the frequency of similar expressions may drop a lot.

When chatting with friends, on some more lively and relaxed topics, such as following stars, watching dramas, and sharing anecdotes, your conversation may look like this:

Which star girl has never sighed that her brother is so handsome

And in some formal workplaces, or when communicating with teachers or elders, you are more likely to edit the good news in advance, carefully consider each word, and then send the news.

When talking to the teacher, I always want to put everything into a message

Of course, apart from objects and scenes, fragmented language is also nourished by the special attributes of social media.

Nowadays, the commonly used social software was also a typical place for fragmented expression at the beginning of its birth, and it assumed more auxiliary social functions. With the changes in technology and environment, social media has gradually evolved into a major social tool, even surpassing offline communication, which also bears a deeper need for communication.

At this time, in some special scenes, fragmented expressions can help emphasize emotions and become emotional magnifying glasses. For example, when talking with a friend about academic troubles, it may be like this:

Despair overflows the screen

In a similar special context, a sentence composed of cross-messages can strengthen the special mood of the speaker in the scene and set off a specific atmosphere.

In short, for fragmented expression that is becoming more and more common, some people regard it as a normal expression habit, which is simple, stress-free, and interesting. Others regard it as an inappropriate way of communication, believing that it increases the pressure of information overload and makes people one step away from “speaking well.” And more often, it is an invisible phenomenon that has not attracted special attention.

Zhihu has also discussed this issue.Image source: Zhihu

1. Why should one sentence be sent in several messages? 1. The impact of changes in media channels

   In the answers to related questions about Zhihu, some netizens said: “People who have been tortured by text messages (that’s me) naturally like to develop separately when they use WeChat chat software.”

   This answer reveals a background in which fragmented expression can be understood-changes in media channels have reduced the cost of communication.

   In the pre-social media era, people used text messages, letters, emails, etc. to overcome the obstacles to offline communication, but most of these methods limited the way of expression from different sides: one text message and five text messages correspond to different costs. The mail has a fixed format, and the writing procedure is more cumbersome. It takes time to write it, send it, and wait for a reply.

   Nowadays, the popularization of the Internet and the dominance of social media have ended the era of “inch-and-inch” communication, and people have been liberated from restrained and prudent communication. Therefore, sending a sentence into several messages may be a kind of “retaliatory consumption” for remote communication, and it is also a new way of communication in new media channels.

2. Adapt to online social communication scenarios

   Fragmented communication is also an adaptation to online communication scenarios. In the online chat scene, in addition to the words spoken, the tone, expression, expression and eyes of the other party can all convey effective information at the same time. These are all difficult to achieve in the online space.

   From this point of view, fragmented speech can strengthen the tone to a certain extent, convey information other than text, and adjust the atmosphere of the chat.

   

   A message that is too long inevitably makes people feel like they have received a small composition

   More specifically, the cutting of a sentence is not done randomly. It is often divided into different fragments such as adjectives, nouns, pronouns, and even a punctuation, each corresponding to a different meaning. The separation of elements allows different language fragments to be separated, which can help the other party to get to the point of speaking.

   For example, when “I am super xxx!” becomes “I”, “super”, “xxx”, and “!”, the latter seems to convey the emotional characteristics of the words more clearly on the small mobile phone screen.

   In addition, fragmented expressions are also compatible with the immediate nature of social media communication. In instant messaging software, it is a universal need for communication to maintain the presence status and let information arrive in time in the shortest possible time.

   Therefore, no punctuation, typos caused by the input method, no withdrawal, and corrections in the second line are common phenomena in instant communication; and short sentences of three or five characters are arranged line by line, which reduces editing and The difficulty of modification is also a kind of “meeting” to the immediacy characteristics.[1]

3. Become a discourse symbol for online communication

   Guo Qingguang’s “Communication Course” mentioned that in human social communication activities, information is the unity of signs and meanings, signs are the external forms or material carriers of information, and meanings are the spiritual content of information.[2]

   Communication in social media is a process of symbolic interaction, and language symbols are the most important type of presentation. From the perspective of symbols, the information transmission form of “dividing a sentence into multiple messages” is also an angle to understand its meaning and meaning.

   Compared with a long message that is composed of paragraphs and sentences, the symbol of a short sentence message is a more direct and simple expression. Long sentences seem to require more attention and energy, while short sentences are easier to understand. Each one conveys clear meaning and can reduce the pressure and burden of communication.

   From this perspective, a sentence that is divided into blocks is a special text symbol-like voice, emoticon symbols, etc., it undertakes the needs of online expression and exerts different communication functions.

   This symbol also has a role other than the content itself. In addition to the aforementioned adjusting the chat atmosphere, strengthening the tone and emphasis, and catering to the immediacy, there is also the effect of maintaining the consistency of the words in the chat, and even grabbing attention.

   Imagine a scenario where you want to say an important thing to your friend, but when you are still typing and editing in the chat box, the topic has been transferred to a new thing by your friend, or your friend can’t wait, exit first The chat interface.

   

   If you and your friends like to post short sentences, your chat may become chaotic due to multi-threading

   Therefore, in order to overcome this “communication dislocation” during online chat, it is better to preemptively send the message while chatting. The disassembled discourse symbol conveys the message itself, and also keeps the other party in a state of receiving the message, indirectly maintaining the stability of the discussion topic.

   On social media where “squandering flowers are becoming glamorous”, this may indeed be a way to ensure smooth and timely communication.

4. A piece of puzzle in a fragmented world

   From a broader perspective, the fragmented expression of chat in social media can be regarded as a specific manifestation of fragmentation.

   Fragmentation is a commonplace and real communication feature in contemporary digital life. It grows together with the innovation of information communication technology, and affects our way of thinking, media channels, and speech expression.

   Social media is an important soil for fragmented information. Different from the public domain in the traditional sense, the virtual space constructed by social media represented by WeChat has the characteristics of information fragmentation. In WeChat chats (especially group chats), the behavior of discussion participants is close to a kind of “square expression”, and everyone can express it at any time, so the utterance expression is often discrete and diffuse.[3]

   Diffusion expressions are everywhere here. From the previous words such as “unminded jueli” to the abbreviations such as “yyds” nowadays, people seem to always tend to use the least words to convey meaning, and they are used to constructing common uniqueness with special symbols Discourse space.

   After getting used to the ubiquitous fragmentation, people’s nerves may not be so sensitive to splitting a sentence into several messages, and they naturally accept and use this method unconsciously—fragment, right? Familiar.

5. Fragmented expression promotes or hinders dissemination?

   For a long time, people’s attitudes have been mixed with regard to the way to split a sentence into multiple messages.

   People who are accustomed to use this as a way of decompressing online communication, adding a bit of relaxation and fun to the chat, and reducing the difficulty of reading and understanding. However, there are also opposing attitudes that an increasing number of messages will at least increase the burden of information in terms of quantity, and also eliminate the already broken language.

   

   

   Different views on this behavior.Image source: Zhihu

   Factors such as attitudes towards social media and language habits have affected people’s different judgments. But at least it is undeniable that this habit seems to have been embedded in our daily communication unknowingly and has become commonplace.

   Back to the origin, chat is a process of information transmission. From the perspective of information dissemination, this fragmented expression also has two possible directions.

   One is positive-fragmented expression can help both parties to understand information more easily and efficiently in online communication. In social media networks with information overload, this can be a self-controllable way to decompress.

   The other is the opposite direction, that is, fragmented news may hinder information dissemination, cause misunderstandings, and reduce efficiency.

   How to understand this misunderstanding?

   On the one hand, the behavior of “sending a sentence into multiple messages” is not accustomed to and accepted by everyone. Therefore, when this kind of news appears in untimely occasions-such as in formal group chats, at work, or facing a communication partner who attaches great importance to communication norms, it may accidentally cause the other party’s impression of themselves to be reduced, even if this Not your true image.

   On the other hand, the dispersed language itself can also cause misunderstandings. In the scattered words and sentences, the sequence of the utterances is easy to be confused, and the logic is more likely to be unreasonable. Waiting until the person on the opposite side of the chat box assembles these fragments and understands it clearly, which may consume more energy than typing out a paragraph.

   Of course, social media is not static, and some of its own functions are directly/indirectly helping to improve the efficiency of information dissemination. For example, the frequently used WeChat “quote” function can allow people to mark key points in cumbersome messages. When faced with a sentence composed of multiple fragments, the recipient is also more likely to grasp a symbol to respond.

   In short, this microscopic phenomenon of “a sentence is divided into multiple messages” is also a perspective for us to look beyond the established framework to examine social media and self-expression. Regardless of the attitude toward this report, the language symbols that are formed into sentences or fragments are actually the need for people to seek communication and connection.

   At least, our common expectation is a more efficient, friendly, and less big communication space.

   Chat fragmentation seems to have become a very common phenomenon in our lives. Are your chat records also full of fragmented messages? What do you think about this phenomenon of news fragmentation?

In this regard, Didi released a relevant statement tonight. Didi restored what happened: On April 13, the Shenzhen Express driver, Master Zhang, grabbed the passenger’s express order booked through an enterprise-level account. The scheduled departure time was 8 am on the 14th. On the 14th, Master Zhang departed from home to pick up the passengers. The driving distance was 36.5 kilometers. He arrived at the passenger’s departure point at 7:39 am and waited for the passengers from 38 minutes to 8:17. The passenger cancelled the order because he was dissatisfied that the driver did not take the initiative to help carry the luggage. While waiting for passengers, Master Zhang sent multiple messages to passengers through the Didi App.8 calls made , One time at 7:55, the passenger asked the driver to drive into the hotel, one time at 7:58, the driver and the passenger negotiated to change the pick-up time to 8:10, and the other 6 calls were missed by the passengers. According to the rules of the platform, the cancellation fee of this order is 21 yuan after the passenger is late and the passenger has to pay the cancellation fee immediately and give the full amount to the driver. Regarding carrying luggage for passengers, although the platform rules do not have uniform mandatory requirements for express drivers, we hope to provide passengers with better services. We hope that the masters will take the initiative when encountering large luggage, and we recommend that passengers take the initiative when they need help Ask the driver for help. In actual situations, many driver masters do take the initiative to help when they see passengers carrying suitcases. In addition, Master Zhang mentioned that after arriving at the pick-up location, he had “argued with the security three times” while waiting for the passengers. We put ourselves here and thought about this issue from the perspective of Master Zhang. It may be that Master Zhang stayed near the hotel entrance for a long time while waiting for passengers, which affected the work of security. Here we also apologize on behalf of Master Zhang. We also call on the drivers and masters to abide by the traffic rules and not to park randomly. At the same time, we appeal to the whole society that sometimes the driver masters may temporarily occupy parking lot or roadside resources while waiting for passengers. Please give us some tolerance and convenience. We have contacted Master Zhang, and considering that Master Zhang has a long empty distance, we will provide Master Zhang with relevant subsidies. At the same time, I also talked with Master Zhang. Although we understand that Master Zhang is very wronged and angry, we did not provide good car service to passengers this time. In addition, the appointment order is not dispatched, and the driver voluntarily grabs the order. Therefore, the driver has a long distance to pick up and drive, and the passengers do not know it beforehand. At present, this incident has received widespread attention from all walks of life, and it has also caused some trouble to passengers. At present, the platform has received complaints from the driver from the passenger entering the customer service line, saying that he was insulted by the driver and asking the platform to punish the driver. We have informed and warned Master Zhang not to insult passengers or disseminate users’ personal information without authorization.

Assoc. Dr. Luong Cong Thuc, Deputy Director of Military Medical Hospital 103, Director of Infectious Field Hospital No. 2. “Fighting the Covid epidemic is considered by us as a task to fight in peacetime,” Assoc. Dr. Luong Cong Thuc, Deputy Director of Military Medical Hospital 103, Director of the No. 2 Infectious Field Hospital confirmed so. His words are like an oath, a declaration of war against the Covid enemy right in the middle of the “fire pan” in Bac Giang right now. At 8:00 am on June 3, the second online consultation of the day by Dr. Thuc and his colleagues. The working atmosphere is urgent and serious, all computers, 4G-enabled smartphones, and the Internet system of 14 doctors and nurses are ready to connect with a stable connection. Every day, the Board of Directors (Board of Directors) of the Hospital (closed in the outer circle) based on the situation of organizing scheduled or ad-hoc online consultations with the staff, medical staff, and doctors who are directly treating patients. (ring in). Thanks to the application of information technology, all images and sounds about the treatment situation for Covid-19 patients from areas at the No. 2 Infectious Field Hospital are transmitted to the operating area. Without any walkie-talkie, the hospital’s doctors and nurses can still fully grasp the information, see the images clearly, and hear each sound in a realistic and multi-dimensional way. This solution has been implemented from May 23 to now. On the television screen connected to the Internet with the Board of Directors’ room, on the other side, Major, specialist I Le Tien Dung, Head of Emergency Department, quickly reported on the condition of patient N.D. .T (86 years old). Using a smartphone, Dr. Dung directed the rotation of machines and equipment so that the Board of Directors understood important indicators. The unit’s doctors participated in online consultations to discuss treatment regimens for Covid-19 patients. X-ray film of patient T in the electronic medical record is enlarged. Both sides of the “front line” can easily exchange information and analyze health conditions, thereby giving treatment plans, drugs to use, and methods of care. All data of a paper medical record is converted into an electronic medical record. Perhaps in the midst of the intense battle with the Covid epidemic, electronic medical records and online consultations are considered the “ultimate weapon” of the doctors here. Doctor Dinh Cong Pho – who writes software, designs and realizes electronic medical records from the idea of ​​Dr. La Quang Ho. The specific characteristics of the hospital treating Covid patients is that it is divided into separate areas: the treatment area for severe patients; treatment area for moderate and mild patients; The stabilization zone is for patients who have tested negative for the first time, preparing for discharge from the hospital, these areas are difficult to connect with each other. Therefore, using traditional paper medical records and face-to-face consultations is not suitable, treating doctors and nurses cannot move freely from one area to another while still having to know the patient’s condition. 24 hours. Major, Master La Quang Ho, Deputy Director of Infectious Field Hospital No. 2 proposed the initiative to implement electronic medical records. He and Lieutenant, Doctor Dinh Cong Pho, Head of Infection Control Department, No. 2 Infectious Field Hospital discussed and designed to bring the application of electronic medical records and online consultation into reality. The electronic medical record is designed on the open source Kobotoolbox. This is an online tool for data collection and management, making scientific research activities easier and more accurate. Doctor Pho shared: “The electronic medical record is designed on the open source Kobotoolbox. We use this medical record along with online consultations and briefings with Zoom software to discuss the patient’s treatment regimen. This solution best conveys information by both headphones and eyes (especially X-ray films of the patient’s lungs), promoting effective treatment of patients in specific conditions.” The battle is still long After many outbreaks in Bac Giang, the Covid-19 epidemic had complicated developments, the Ministry of Defense directed the establishment of the Infectious Field Hospital No. 2 – Military Medical Hospital 103/Military Medical Academy in China. Group 831 (which is stationed in Tan Yen district, Bac Giang province) to promptly collect and treat patients. In just 2 short days, more than 120 officers and doctors of units such as: Military Medical Hospital 103 (Military Medical Academy), Air Force Medical Hospital (Air Defense – Air Force) ), the Military Institute of Traditional Medicine arranged and installed the hospital with the goal of speed and decisive victory. Patient N.Đ.T. is cared for and treated with enthusiasm by the doctors and nurses of the No. 2 Infectious Field Hospital. On the evening of May 21, the hospital completed its facilities, arranged departments, rooms, and the hospital received 42 patients. That number increased rapidly. Up to now, the unit is collecting and treating 324 patients, most of them are female, the youngest patient is 6 months old, the oldest patient is 87 years old. Immediately after admission, all patients were carried out biochemical tests, chest X-rays, investigations, and recorded background disease history. According to Dr. Luong Cong Thuc, the application of information technology in medical examination and data management by electronic medical records and consultation via the Internet is really effective in the battle against the Covid-19 enemy. Through treatment, the majority of patients improved, symptoms decreased, clinical manifestations were closely monitored by doctors and nurses. For patients with more severe symptoms, the unit promptly moved to the treatment area for severe patients at Bac Giang Provincial General Hospital. The first 4 patients were discharged. Thanks to this solution, on June 2, 4 patients were discharged from the hospital. As one of these four patients, Ms. LTN (Luc Ngan) said emotionally: “Today I am very happy to be discharged from the hospital. I would like to sincerely thank the doctors and nurses for taking care of us and treating us.” In addition, many other patients have made good progress like the VMH sisters… Post, photo: Tuyet Mai

High-end restaurants often limit serving food delivered at home because the shipping process more or less affects the quality and appearance of the dish. However, the Covid-19 epidemic has changed the situation. Luxury restaurants also have to change their home delivery business to meet the needs of diners during the epidemic season. If you want to have a hearty meal at home as good as a restaurant, you can refer to the quality food delivery addresses below. If you are on the eat clean diet, you can choose this address to order nutritious food. Green Garden’s healthy menu is quite diverse, suitable for lunches of office workers working from home. I used to order lunch at this restaurant which consisted of pan-seared salmon with lemon butter sauce, chia seeds cooked with milk and fresh fruit. 2 servings meet my criteria of being quick and nutritious for lunch. The main dish has a sweet salmon part, mixed with a rich, aromatic lemon butter sauce that drowns out the fishy taste of the fish. The meal is neatly arranged in a paper box, the sauce is also kept separately, the green vegetables including cauliflower, collard greens, lettuce, cowpea are neatly trimmed, not crushed. The hot portion causes the container to collect moisture during transportation, but does not affect the taste of the dish. After finishing the main course, I enjoyed a dessert with chia seeds cooked with milk and fresh fruit. Before delivering the food, the restaurant told me to put the chia seeds cooked with milk in the refrigerator before enjoying. The fragrant milk is balanced by the refreshing fruit taste. The pieces of fruit are carefully cut into circles, just eaten. This is my favorite part about this dish because many places often cut the fruit into squares that are quite difficult to eat. This dessert is also placed in a paper box with a silicone lid carefully, to avoid spillage during transportation. Before the epidemic broke out again, I had the opportunity to go to this restaurant and enjoy Vietnamese dishes with strange variations. Anan Saigon is the right address for those who are looking for new flavors through familiar dishes. The menu here includes dishes that sound both strange and familiar such as wagyu beef fried rice, snail pizza, tuna tacos, one-shot vermicelli, vegetarian spring rolls… The restaurant’s dishes are carefully prepared from the start to decorate before serving diners. Therefore, when switching to delivery, restaurant owners are also concerned when the packaging and transportation process can affect the beautiful dishes. This restaurant in the top of Asia’s best still serves home delivery to adapt to the pandemic situation. The meals are neatly arranged in styrofoam boxes, the lid of the box is often marked with good wishes sent to diners. Most of the items on the menu have delivery and apply many promotions to attract diners. From May 28, Quince restaurant also announced that it will stop accepting customers to dine in, only selling takeout or online orders. This restaurant is an ideal place for diners who love European food. The typical culinary style here is that the dishes are grilled on a wood stove. The last time I went to Quince, I enjoyed the tuna foie gras. The dish has a rather strange taste, is a contrasting combination of grilled fatty foie gras, mixed with the smell of smoke from firewood and a piece of fresh tuna that is toasted through the surface. The menu here is diverse, home delivery dishes are included in the restaurant’s monthly fixed menu, ranging from 200,000 VND to more than 1 million VND. The food here is suitable for a hearty party held at home. You can order BBQ lobster, avocado salad, BBQ cauliflower, lamb tenderloin with spicy muhammara sauce… to enjoy with your loved ones. If you love the taste of Mediterranean dishes, you can order food at Amun with dishes made from sheep or beef. In addition to Mediterranean-style dishes, this restaurant also has typical Moroccan lamb stew worth trying. The dishes at Amun are also suitable for a luxurious dinner with the family. You can order Amun beef short rib (beef ribs stewed in wine with mashed potatoes), Mediterranean charcoal grilled lamb skewers or charcoal grilled composite skewers. The restaurant only accepts shipping orders at the latest until 22:30 on weekdays. This restaurant specializes in hand-crafted dishes with fresh ingredients, preserving the flavors of traditional Italy. Pasta Fresca’s signature dish is the noodles. Diners can enjoy traditional Tuscan maremmani pici, black linguine, and cappelletti pasta. The dishes here are all meticulously prepared by Italian chefs. Last house dinner, I ordered smoke salmon salad (smoked tuna salad), fries topped with rosemary Parmigiano cheese, Australian steak BBQ with pita bread for 3 people. Because the transportation from Thao Dien to my house is about 7 km, the distance is quite long, so the potato part is a bit soft, but the taste is still guaranteed. The meal I ordered is subject to the promotion of free pizza margherita.

Original SIM card but still occupied by others Ms. ATH (in Binh Duong) reflected on 2-3 days, she discovered that her phone displayed a message that could not be called, so she went to VNPT Binh Duong Business Center to ask for a check. Here, the technical staff said that the SIM card is not damaged, still works two-way. On March 4, she went to the center to ask for a new SIM card. After that, the phone works normally. On March 12, Ms. H. logged into her credit card account to check and found that the money in the account had been withdrawn in the form of payment for purchases. Suspecting that her SIM information was exposed during the SIM rework, Ms. H. went to VNPT Binh Duong Business Center to find out. Only now did she know that on 2-3 days there was a transaction to replace her SIM at a VNPT center in Ho Chi Minh City. Ms. H. said that this SIM phone number has been registered by her owner before. Now suddenly my SIM was declared and appropriated by someone else, leading to the loss of her credit card more than 58 million dong. “During the settlement process, the representative of VNPT HCMC (where the SIM exchange happened) said he would support me with a scratch card worth 2 million VND, but I did not accept it. The main reason for losing money is because the network operator re-issued the SIM in the wrong process, not because of me, “- Ms. H. shared. Ms. ATH was upset because someone else took control of her phone SIM, so her credit account lost more than 58 million dong. Photo: DANG LE Another case is Mr. Trieu Duc Khai (in Thai Binh) also said on April 21, he made a complaint to VNPT Center in Thai Thuy district, Thai Binh. The content of the complaint about his VinaPhone SIM, although registered by the owner, was still controlled by others, leading to the loss of 35 million VND in his credit card. Through working with VNPT in Thai Thuy district, it was determined that someone had impersonated him to carry out the procedure to lose the SIM and make a new SIM with the subscriber number that Mr. Khai was using. This person only declared five phone numbers to call out, come to the nearest, and then be given a new SIM. Occupying SIM is a trick to appropriate money Exchange with Ho Chi Minh City Law Vo Do Thang, Director of Athena International Security and Network Administration Training Center, said that through the two cases above, it shows that if anyone reports the loss of SIM and only needs to provide five phone numbers to call. going, calling recently, committing to subscriber owner rights to be re-issued with a new SIM is not good at all. This has created a loophole for crooks to steal other people’s SIMs, to the detriment of genuine SIM users. According to Mr. Thang, most of the victims in the SIM loss cases were taken by fraudsters by making online payments. To pay for online purchases, there are three factors: The first is a mobile phone number. The credit card holder must register this phone number with the bank to authenticate transactions and receive bank notifications. The second is the card number (a series of numbers printed on the front of the credit card). The third is the OTP (one-time password) verification code sent to the phone number registered with the bank. In the working minutes and written responses to Ms. H. and Mr. Khai, the network operator confirmed that re-issuing SIM cards to others was not in accordance with the process. Photo: DANG LE. After hijacking the right to use the SIM, the crooks will take the victim’s credit card number to pay online, then use the newly issued SIM to receive the OTP code and complete the payment. The victim’s credit card number has been stolen by the crooks before, appropriating the phone SIM is only the last step to perform the act of appropriating money. According to Mr. Thang, not everyone who loses their phone SIM will lose money in their credit cards and bank accounts. Only when they have had their credit card or account information exposed before can crooks steal money. The victim’s credit card information may be exposed during previous online transactions. The cause is usually because the victim has filled out information on fraudulent websites, installed malicious code on the phone to steal card information, opened attachments of unknown origin or it can also be due to credit institutions. does not guarantee safety in terms of security,” Thang shared. In the working minutes and written responses to Ms. H. and Mr. Khai, the network operator confirmed that re-issuing SIM cards to others was not in accordance with the process. Photo: DANG LE The network operator did the wrong process In both cases mentioned above, in the process of working with customers, the operator has confirmed that the teller when carrying out the SIM reissuance procedure only requires the customer to provide five outgoing and incoming phone numbers. subscriber ownership is not the correct procedure. In response to the recent complaint of VNPT Center in Thai Thuy district, Thai Binh province against Mr. Trieu Duc Khai, it is clear that because of this unfortunate incident, VNPT Center of Thai Thuy district has apologized to customers. The material damage that the impostor causes to the customer, the center will fix and compensate for the loss.

The other was crowded with customers eating in the evening, but for a few weeks now, the shop has been empty. According to the staff, the number of guests plummeted by 50%. Shop owners and staff wait for customers “long neck”. “Due to the epidemic, few people go out in the evening, so the number of customers coming to buy food has decreased sharply. Before, the epidemic did not break out, the flow of people on the street was bustling, young people went out to play, so the restaurant was very crowded,” said an employee of a noodle shop on Bach Mai Street. Co Lan cakes sold well in the morning, but in the evening, the number of visitors decreased a lot because people rarely went out. The beef noodle shop, which is appreciated by many people, at Lane 77 Dang Xuan Bang (Hoang Mai District, Hanoi) also had to close this week because it was difficult to sell online. “Because I have not joined the Sales App and the number of office visitors around here is small, I decided to close the store, even though I do not have to rent space. Before the decision of Hanoi city to stop serving customers on the spot, my store also had a 40% reduction in customers because of fear of disease, customers were afraid to eat, especially families with children. , Ms. Nguyen Le Linh, owner of Pho Linh Linh Cook, Dang Xuan Bang street. According to Ms. Nguyen Le Linh, despite the difficult situation, shops and people are trying to comply so that Hanoi and Vietnam can successfully control the epidemic so that life can return to the way it was before.

The traditional dishes of Be Ca Restaurant are: Thai style roasted pork neck; beef dish with wine sauce; The humiliation of braised pork loin or pork loin soup is still selling well,” said Ms. Thu Huong – manager of Aquarium Restaurant. Madam Nhung’s porridge is easy to sell because it is convenient for children’s breakfast.

Pho Bo shop at lane 77 Dang Xuan Bang is temporarily closed because “Takeaway” reduces the taste when eating directly at the store. According to the experience of reputable food sellers, in order to get a large number of customers to buy online and to order by phone, it is important that the establishment has a good reputation, delicious, quality, and hygienic food. birth, and especially the online sales channel is always maintained. Therefore, when there is a decision to distance or isolate, the purchase and sale of goods will not be affected.

In addition to the two companies above, tech giants including Amazon, Facebook and Apple will also be subject to a tax called “Google tax”. Accordingly, large technology companies will have to pay a certain amount of corporate tax, although there is no specific number for this tax. “The government will have grounds to tax them if a deal is reached. At the moment, everything is still incomplete,” an official from the Korean Ministry of Finance said on June 1. The move is part of a global wave to tax lucrative businesses based on the country that generates their revenue, not the country where they are headquartered. Many tech heavyweights around the world have long tended to set up headquarters in countries with low tax rates in order to reduce or avoid paying taxes. Meanwhile, the profits they earn come from all over the world through online business activities that are not limited to a specific country. The OECD’s plan is said to detail ways to modify the tax regimes of member countries, in light of the rapid transformation of digital business. It also seeks to address the problem of tax base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS), combating strategies that exploit loopholes or inconsistencies in tax rules to shift profits to areas where they are not. collect or have a low tax rate. Another point of contention in the plan this time around is the push to amend the law on a permanent establishment, or a fixed place of business that generates income and a value-added tax liability in a jurisdiction. Specifically. This also includes establishing a global minimum corporate tax rate. According to the Financial Supervisory Service’s electronic disclosure system, Google Korea said that on April 14, it recorded a revenue of 220.1 billion won (equivalent to 198 million USD), up about 3.6% from a year earlier. Google’s operating profit was 15.5 billion won, up 53.4% ​​year-on-year. Net profit for the same period was 6.2 billion won, up 741.2 percent. These numbers stand in sharp contrast to tech companies in Korea such as Naver and Kakao. According to the report, the annual sales of these two companies are 5.3 trillion won and 4.1 trillion won respectively. The staggering difference is the result of Google Play Store revenue being recognized as revenue by Google Asia Pacific, which is headquartered in Singapore, not Google Korea. Industry observers also estimate Google Korea’s domestic sales to be between 5 trillion won and 6 trillion won. According to the Mobile Internet Business Association, in the group of IT and telecommunications businesses, Google Play’s sales in 2019 in the country are estimated at about 5.7 trillion won. Just as fast as Google is Facebook Korea. According to FSS data, the business recorded sales of 44.2 billion won and operating profit of 11.7 billion won last year. Facebook’s sales in South Korea grew 10.3% from 40.1 billion won in 2019, and business profits are reported to have increased six-fold year-on-year. The company’s net profit also reached 6.3 billion won, up 33 times from 190 million won in 2019, thanks to a surge in advertising revenue from Instagram. Chang Pang Hyo, head of the IT Committee at the Citizens Coalition for Economic Justice, said the US tech giants actually exist in the virtual world, and their activities cannot be determined if based only on the tax code in the branch location “Calls are growing to amend the laws to come up with a clear statement that companies are taxed where their customers use their services, not where they are located. headquarters,” he said.

The move comes after the attack on the US oil and gas shipping company Colonial Pipeline and the growing damage caused by cybercriminals. The US raised the level of investigation into the crime of extortion hackers to the level of ‘terrorists’. Photo: REUTERS In an internal guideline document sent to law offices across the United States on June 3, the US Department of Justice directed that investigations into ransomware should be coordinated with the central government, specifically: A new task force was established in Washington. “This will be a specialized process to ensure we can track all cases of extortion hackers regardless of where they happen in the US, so we can capture the connection between subjects and proceed to break the whole link,” said Deputy Attorney General John Carlin. Previously, in May, the largest US oil pipeline system, the Colonial Pipeline, was crippled by hackers. Colonial Pipeline has decided to pay hackers who have compromised their systems nearly $5 million to regain access. According to the Reuters , the DOJ’s guidance document specifically mentions the Colonial attack as an example of “the growing threat posed by cybercriminals and digital ransomware to the nation.” . “To ensure we can uncover connections between incidents and investigations across the country and globally, and to paint a big picture of national security and economic threats, The economy we face, we must strengthen and focus our internal monitoring,” the guidance document states. Reuters Citing US officials, the decision to include ransomware attacks in a special process by the Department of Justice shows that the issue is being prioritized. “We’ve used this model in the past for counterterrorism, but never with ransomware,” said Carlin, adding that the process typically applies to cases involving direct national security. In practice, this means that investigators at US attorneys’ offices dealing with ransomware cases will have to share both up-to-date case details and technical information with officials in Washington. The guidelines also require offices to review and report other investigations related to the large-scale cybercrime ecology. According to the guidelines, the list of investigations currently required to be reported to the central government includes: anti-virus services, illegal online forums or marketplaces, cryptocurrency exchanges, cybercriminal server services, botnets, and online money laundering services. “We would like to emphasize that prosecutors and criminal investigators need to report and conduct monitoring of cryptocurrency exchanges, illegal online forums or marketplaces for trading hacking tools. , as well as tracking botnets that serve a variety of purposes,” said Carlin. According to Mark Califano, a former US attorney and cybercrime expert, raising the level of investigation could allow the US Justice Department to “deploy resources more effectively” and “identify common exploits” variables” used by cybercriminals.

Ms. Hoang Thien Tam from Yen Ninh (Ba Dinh, Hanoi), shared that in the summer, field crabs are her family’s favorite cooling dish. Early in the summer, the weather was not too hot, she still worked hard to go to the market to choose each field crab and ask the seller to grind it for her. The number of crabs bought each time is only about 1kg, just enough to cook a meal. About a week ago, the heat was like fire, she switched to ordering online because she was afraid to squeeze her feet into the market. The amount of crab sold out increased 3-5 times compared to the time before summer (photo: Thuy Dang) “Today I also ordered 5kg of field crabs, thanks to them pre-ground in plastic bags.

On the market today, the price of copper crab usually ranges from 120,000-180,000 VND/kg, depending on the type. In many places, when customers require preliminary processing and ready to go, they often have to pay an additional 10,000-15,000 VND/kg. Small traders selling field crabs at traditional markets said that these days, the amount of crabs consumed has nearly doubled compared to before summer. As for online traders, it was revealed that the number of crabs sold increased 3-5 times compared to other seasons of the year. In hot weather, people are often afraid to go to the market, so they often choose to order online for convenience.

Currently, the red color of ripe lychees has covered the streets of Hanoi. Although the price is still not “comfortable” but Hanoi people still love it and don’t stop asking to buy it. The price of fresh lychees on the Hanoi market is ranging from 35,000 VND to 50,000 VND/kg. The freshest lychee is tied in bunches of about 2-3kg and often the seller does not agree to tear it apart. Thus, to enjoy, customers must spend at least 100,000 VND. Hoa (Mai Dong market) carefully wraps fresh lychees with wet towels to keep them fresh. A small trader in the area of ​​So crossroads (Thanh Xuan District) said that on these days, he sells half a kilo of fresh lychees every day. The fresh Thanh Ha lychees are sold by this small merchant by weight, for 35,000/kg. Fresh litchi on this occasion is not really sweet, but it is still popular with many customers with the mentality of wanting to enjoy the early season specialties. It is easy to find fresh lychees at Vinh Ho market (Dong Da district), almost any fruit stall has them. Small traders at this market said that they can sell out 20-30kg of fresh lychees every day. The price of fresh litchi here ranges from 40,000 to 50,000 VND/kg. Ms. Mai, a fruit seller at Vinh Ho market, said she was selling fresh lychees for 50,000 VND/kg and further explained that this price had dropped a lot. Just a few days ago, around the 1st of the fourth lunar month, the price of fresh lychees she sold was about 100,000 VND/kg. While there are many litchi in the local market, in the supermarket, this fruit is not really abundant. Lotte supermarket (Dong Da district) is selling a lot of fruits, but fresh lychees are sparse. A customer said that she had been looking to buy fresh lychees in this supermarket for a long time but could not find them. After asking the help of the supermarket staff, she found the item she needed. But there are only very few fresh lychees among the range of other fruits. Fresh lychees in supermarkets are usually not as fresh as in the market. The supermarket staff explained that due to the wind, the lychee will dry out very quickly, turning a less attractive color. At BigC supermarket (Ha Dong), fresh Thanh Ha lychees are sold for 38,900 VND/kg. The lychees here also quickly turn yellow because they dry quickly when encountering cold air. The less eye-catching color seems to be the reason why fresh lychees in the first season in supermarkets are not as expensive as in the market. Mr. Nguyen Duy Canh, 35 years old, from Thanh Xuan, Hanoi said that he had just bought 3.8kg of fresh lychee at the market for 40,000 VND/kg. Currently, litchi in the market is fresh, easy to find, easy to buy and easy to bargain. Unlike in supermarkets, fresh lychees are hard to find and even if they are found, they lose their freshness. Not only in markets and supermarkets, fresh lychees also appear in many “online markets”. Currently, personal Facebook pages are actively selling and are also interested by many buyers, especially when the epidemic makes customers afraid to go to crowded places and want to buy goods online. On e-commerce platforms such as Shopee, Tiki, and Lazada, Thanh Ha litchi also appeared at the beginning of the season. But if you want to buy, customers will have to order up to 7 days in advance, because the quantity of goods is not much.

Scams through SIM upgrade support have flourished recently. A representative of VinaPhone network operator said that in the past time, high-tech scams have increased sharply with sophisticated tricks, in which there has been a situation where fraudsters have appropriated control of mobile subscribers’ SIMs. Steal OTP code information, then withdraw money from customer’s credit card or borrow money online. This carrier recommends that mobile users be wary of calls and messages from unknown numbers with content such as requests for assistance with SIM replacement/SIM upgrade or winning announcements. When there are phenomena like above, customers access the official websites and information channels of the network operator to authenticate or contact the customer service center for answers. When the phone SIM has abnormal signs such as signal loss, disabled for unknown reasons, many strange phone numbers calling in the same time period, etc., customers urgently contact the network operator to check the status of the subscriber and get advice, answers or recommendations on how to handle it. In case the subscriber receives a notice of unusual transactions such as transactions related to credit cards, related online credit loans, customers should immediately contact the banks and financial institutions where the card is issued. Credit card, where the online credit transaction occurs, request emergency card locking support to prevent fraudsters from appropriating assets or clarifying that online credit transaction.

When there is a need to change / change a new SIM, go directly to the transaction points or the official agent of the carrier to do it. VinaPhone said that it has added surveillance cameras at transaction points to prevent bad behavior and widely communicated on internal channels as well as mass media for customers to capture information and be vigilant. against scams.

The difficulty of foreign-language and bilingual bookmakers lies in “hunting” readers, because so far the number of readers is mainly foreigners. The pandemic has also made it difficult to transport orders over long distances. Dr. Tran Doan Lam, Director and Editor-in-Chief of World Publishing House, explained that the online book publishing story did not create a breakthrough for his unit during the epidemic season. Dr. Tran Doan Lam, Director and Editor-in-Chief of World Publishing House. Photo: Tran Long. The bookstore is no longer crowded – The pandemic has caused delays in many industries, including publishing. In the middle of the epidemic season, do you think that limiting contact will help publish books online with many advantages? Publishing books online during the epidemic season always has two sides: advantages and challenges. The outbreak makes people have more time to stay at home with their families. It is considered an advantage for people to have more time to relieve stress. If you want to connect with the outside world, you can use the Internet or read books and newspapers. On the other hand, during the epidemic, it must be acknowledged that the people’s priority item is necessities. Therefore, financial funds in the family must be considered when spending for entertainment purposes. That’s why I say the book release during the pandemic has two sides. Dr. Tran Doan Lam, Director and Editor-in-Chief of World Publishing House, shared the difficulties his unit is facing during the epidemic season. Photo: Tran Long. – Pandemic broke out, e-commerce floors were active. Do you think this will overwhelm the development of bookstores? We are facing the fourth technical revolution, electronic devices are becoming more and more popular. Most people have access to online information. I myself am from the generation that loves to read entity books. I like going to book streets, bookstores or going to book exhibitions as a reader. But recently, the bookstores are no longer crowded, maybe only the appearance of nostalgic people still retain the elegant pleasure of reading. Another fact is that as the population increases, the storage space for books in a family will be narrower, leading to the tendency to read more books online. However, I don’t think online books will completely overwhelm physical bookstores because nowadays there are still many readers who like to hold the book directly in their hands, feel its beauty before deciding to buy. Publishing books online, should or not? – Through participating on the book365.vn floor, how did the World Publishing House get results? Besides, through which pages does your unit promote books? With the participation on the book365.vn floor, we set the goal of promoting the brand of our unit; and at the same time introduce foreign language books and newspapers on the copyright exchange with European-American partners, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asian countries. The peculiarity of foreign-language books makes it impossible to promote on Vietnamese pages and reading groups. Dr. Tran Doan Lam, Director and Editor-in-Chief of World Publishing House Through this, we have sold book rights to a number of partners, contributing to promoting the image of Vietnam to the world. However, the number of books sold on the floor was also not very positive. The characteristics of the books of the World Publishing House make it impossible to promote on Vietnamese pages and reading groups. In addition to participating on the book365.vn floor, we only introduce books on Tiki and the official website of the publisher. – Many units are “covering losses” by promoting online publishing. Why doesn’t your unit follow that trend? Online book publishing is actually a trend in digital transformation. This is a requirement of the times and we cannot go against the times. World Publishing House was also forced to transform itself to catch up with this revolution. This is a great opportunity, saving a lot of costs and stages. However, publishing books online for a foreign-language and bilingual book-making unit is always more difficult than for Vietnamese online book-making units. Not to mention online publishing, it is necessary to invest in a certain infrastructure, and at the same time, our unit must also take into account issues of copyright, information security, payment, and database. .. To break through right away is very difficult, it must be a process and requires investment in both material and human resources. Publications of World Publishing House are mainly foreign languages ​​and bilinguals. Photo: World Publishing House. What challenges are foreign book writers facing? – When the audience is mainly foreigners, what difficulties do you face in transporting and delivering books to readers during the epidemic season? The whole world is struggling against the Covid-19 pandemic, transporting books is facing many difficulties. About a few months ago, when an epidemic broke out, an American customer ordered 10 of our books for work. Due to the pandemic, the time to send books took a long time. The other reader kept emailing us, expressing his desire to receive the book soon. In the end, he did not have the patience to wait and said that the delayed delivery had missed his plan. He decided to cancel the order. When we contacted the Vietnamese post office, they confirmed that they had shipped the order to the US, but due to Covid-19, it was congested at the port. Then we had to return the money to the other customer and lose the books. Some time later, the books in the jammed port area were delivered to the buyers. Receiving the book, although not timely, was also very emotional. He wrote a letter to us expressing his sympathy for the difficulties faced by the foreign language book-making unit in the context of the epidemic. – The “hunting” of readers is certainly difficult, sir? How is World Publishing House oriented to overcome that difficulty? Our first difficulty must be mentioned is the small number of visitors, “hunting” readers during the epidemic season is really difficult because for nearly two years foreign visitors have not been able to enter, the number of books sold to this audience has decreased sharply . From left to right: Dr. Tran Doan Lam, Mrs. Diana Dudzik (author of two books A and V published by World Publishing House) and her husband Diana. Photo: Tran Long. Secondly, it must also be mentioned that our reading culture has been reduced when facing foreign and bilingual books due to the strong competition of the mass media. The third difficulty, as I said, is the shipping and payment for foreign readers. Currently, we focus on releasing more titles in Vietnamese because from last year to this year, the number of books published in Vietnamese has remained somewhat stable. Besides, promoting cooperation with foreign book-making partners. This is a very important orientation. However, due to the pandemic, all negotiations and contract signings have stalled. – So is it a challenge to associate with foreign units, translate and publish books online during the epidemic season? In my opinion this is a challenge. However, we have to thank some foreign partners because they still pay special attention to us, such as Korea and some Southeast Asian countries. The number of readers is small, the culture of reading books in foreign languages ​​is reduced, and transportation during the epidemic season is hindered are the difficulties that we are facing. Dr. Tran Doan Lam, Director and Editor-in-Chief of World Publishing House Or as recently, the Venezuelan ambassador had a meeting with us. She asked permission from World Publishing House to translate some publications into Spanish. During the meeting, she also shared that Venezuela is about to host an international book fair, so she is very interested in the fact that there will be publications translated from Vietnamese into Spanish. Or vice versa, Korean publishing companies also regularly work with us to translate some works from them into Vietnamese to promote Korean tourism. But it must also be added that the pandemic makes it impossible for regular meetings to take place in person, but must be done online. Online transactions are still in the early stages, not our familiar ways and methods of working, so there are many difficulties, it takes time to get used to.
