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

retail trade Constant dispute about the closing time

Status: 21.06.2021 5:43 p.m.

25 years ago, the Bundestag approved longer shop opening times. But to what extent do more flexible rules benefit retail – and what price do employees pay? The debate continues.

From Jens Eberl, WDR

When Berliners want to go shopping in Bavaria, they might find themselves in front of closed doors every now and then. Berliners are used to having shops open around the clock. And Bavaria, on the other hand, has the shortest opening times in Germany. Since 2006, responsibility for regulating shop closing times lies with the federal states. The federal store closing law only applies in the federal states that have not passed their own store opening law; and that is the case in Bavaria. According to the Federal Store Opening Act, sales are allowed Monday to Saturday from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Bakeries are allowed to open from 5.30 a.m. In Rhineland-Palatinate and Saxony, the shops are allowed to open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., in the other federal states, 0 a.m. to midnight.

“The job can hardly be planned any more”

Have the more flexible opening times proven effective? The balance sheets are very different. Stefan Genth, chief executive of the retail trade association (HDE), says that liberalization was an important and right step. “Especially in the food retail sector, customers like to use the longer opening times to shop later in the evening after the working day and to take a look around.” The service union ver.di, on the other hand, speaks of a massive deterioration in working conditions. “Due to the long opening times, the employees are required to be much more flexible, the job can hardly be planned,” says Federal Board Member Stefanie Benefitberger. Compared to the past, there are many more part-time workers; the longer opening times have not led to the creation of full-time jobs. “There are simply fewer staff available for advice in the store, so that the opening times can be covered,” says Benefitberger. “Two thirds of those employed in retail are women. The expansion of part-time work and employment that is not subject to social security contributions are at their expense and mean that they are dependent on basic security in old age.”

Jobs for millions of people

The industry association contradicts: Liberalization has increased the need for labor in the retail sector. “Particularly in the food trade, additional jobs were created in order to be able to cover the evening and night hours,” said HDE General Manager Genth. Overall, the retail trade in Germany today offers more than three million people a job.

The union also sees a connection between the dying inner cities and the long opening times. There was a big cutthroat competition, so ver.di board member Benefitberger. “Four corporations make around 80 percent of sales in foodstuffs, three corporations make almost 90 percent of sales in drugstore articles.” Not every company was able to go along, especially smaller shops should have closed that way.

Sunday opening as an economic aid?

In the current discussion about shop opening times, the main focus is currently on Sunday. The trade association, the association of towns and municipalities and Marcel Fratzscher, head of the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW), have signed up for a general Sunday opening until Christmas – as an economic aid for the industry, which has been hard hit by Corona.

“In many other areas of the economy, opening on Sundays is a matter of course. In restaurants and pubs it is part of everyday life that the doors are also wide open on Sundays. The same is true of theaters, cinemas or museums worked on Sundays, “said industry representative Genth. “Only in the retail sector, as a rule, everything has to be closed on Sundays. That is no longer in keeping with the times.”

Resistance in court too

But the trade union ver.di is massively resisting further liberalization, which is why it repeatedly goes to court. The advance of the HDE is a “general attack” on the trade workers, their families, and the Basic Law. “The HDE thinks too short-sightedly when it hopes to liven up the city centers and shops with shopping Sundays,” said union Benefitberger. “Because just because it is open longer, people cannot spend more money. Sunday sales only move sales from working days to Sunday.”

At the moment, shops generally have to close on Sundays and public holidays. There are exceptions, for example, for bakeries, flower shops, newsagents, petrol stations and shops in train stations and airports

So the “Wang Fried” single-product pleated skirt in summer, why don’t you wear it well, pay attention to the details! So what are the dressing skills, let’s take a look.

Why choose pleated skirt

In fact, pleated skirts don’t have much advantage visually, but naturally Pleated design , It’s hard for people to ignore its beauty, and it’s also because of the effect of folds, it’s also More refined. Therefore, the pleated skirt does not need too many elements to bless, and a simple pleated organ can shape the bright spots of wearing. And visually it looks very elegant and generous, and it also has the effect of reducing age, so it is also very suitable for older women. But in the selection of pleated skirts: Short, medium and long , According to the height, as long as the clothes are not bloated, it is all OK!

Usually, pleated skirts should be matched with some soft fabrics, like Tulle, velvet and satin chiffon material Wait, not only can it produce very elegant The feeling is also very accent when worn.

Generally speaking, in terms of the details of the skirt and the form of the folds, I suggest you Choose narrow and thin folds , Which not only creates the charm of wearing, but also gives more highlights to wear, and at the same time, this kind of folds can also form Longitudinal extension The role of wearing it Look thin and tall. But on the contrary, the wide folds are just the opposite. They lack a sense of elegance, are visually plain, and look fat when worn. Therefore, pleated skirts are classic items that will not go out of date. Not only can they be worn all year round, they are also very temperamental, and they are also visually beautiful.

• Choose a high-waist style

No matter what kind of pleated skirt, it must be based on a high waist. After all, it can well highlight the proportion of the body and wear it even more. Especially for small girls, or girls with unbalanced body proportions, high-waisted skirts can really Visually improve body proportions , Shaping 3/7or4/6 points, Show long legs , Looks very delicate. This is probably because a high waist can distinguish a good waist ratio, can also improve the waist line, shorten the upper body and extend the lower body, so it gives a high illusion, and it is also suitable for wearing. very natural.

About wearing pleated skirts

• T-shirt + pleated skirt

In summer, the combination of T-shirts and skirts is really a good pair of CPs.

Workwear-style shirts, matched with the same pleated skirt, give people a cool and handsome look, but because of the blessing of the belt, they can also give the clothes more highlights and look stylish and stylish

Housing market Tax tricks with Interest settlements

Status: 06/17/2021 10:42 a.m.

Financial investors speculate with billions on the German housing market, but hardly pay taxes – thanks to a legal trick. The federal government wanted to close this loophole. But loud monitor – Research won’t come of it.

By Lutz Polanz and Jan Schmitt, WDR

“Behind this house is an American company, the trail of the owners leads via Luxembourg to the Cayman Islands” , tells Coni Pfeiffer, activist and spokeswoman for the # 200Houses network. Tenants from Berlin have come together to defend themselves against the conversion of their apartments into expensive condominiums and the greed of financial corporations. It is similar with the other houses on the opposite side, explains Pfeiffer. Here the trail of investors leads to tax havens such as Gibraltar or the Virgin Islands. The Berlin real estate market has long since become an Eldorado for major investors who want to remain anonymous. The official owners are companies with names such as Magenta Properties S.à.rl or Berlin Project-1 Property III S.à.rl The names often conceal complex corporate structures with a whole chain of companies. In the end, they lead to well-known tax havens, for example in the Caribbean.

Interest trick to save taxes

The elaborate company structures apparently also serve to avoid paying taxes to the German tax authorities. A completely legal interest trick helps the companies: The parent companies lend money to their subsidiaries who own the houses and land in Germany. In return, they charge them high internal interest rates – much higher than they would otherwise have to pay at banks. The interest payments of the subsidiaries reduce the profit in Germany and thus the taxes that would have to be paid here.

“The profits go to countries in which no tax is levied on interest income”, explains Gerhard Schick, board member of “Citizens’ Movement Finanzwende”. “Thanks to these high interest payments, it is practically possible to push the income abroad, so that in Germany you can tell the tax office that we have actually not earned any money, but that the profit is generated abroad.”

Billions are being lost to the Treasury

“Every year the German state loses five to seven billion euros as a result of the interest rate trick”, adds Christoph Trautvetter from “Network tax justice”.

So far, the tax authorities have been able to do next to nothing about it. There is no corresponding legal regulation. Specialists have been calling for them for years, for example Manfred Naumann, an expert in international tax law and head of department in the Federal Ministry of Finance for many years: “I am frustrated that the legislature and the Federal Ministry of Finance are unable to find such a regulation”, said Naumann in an interview with the ARD -Magazine monitor . For him the state wears one “complicity” because financial resources run into the billions “flow untaxed”. Proposals for such a regulation have long been on the table. Accordingly, the interest rate would always be used as a benchmark at which a group can borrow money from the bank. Demanding higher interest rates internally would only be possible if the group can justify it well. That would be a kind of reversal of the burden of proof, which experts believe would prevent a large part of the tax damage.

Paragraph disappeared

The Federal Ministry of Finance under Olaf Scholz (SPD) had proposed precisely such a new regulation in a draft law. But the CDU / CSU parliamentary group intervened and the corresponding passage was deleted from the draft. The Federal Council then made a new attempt to resume the regulation. But this was also thrown out at the instigation of the Union.

“Braking measures against money laundering, aggressive tax avoidance and tax evasion by the CDU / CSU has a long tradition”, criticizes Sven Giegold from the Greens in the European Parliament. However, he is also surprised that the SPD did not protest against it.

The Union faction wanted to get up monitor -Do not answer the request. The Federal Ministry of Finance, led by Scholz, is now apparently at a distance from its original approach. Corresponding changes “should ideally be coordinated internationally”, it says in a response from the ministry to a request from monitor .

Now the match ball lies with the Federal Council. He wants to decide at the end of June whether to call the mediation committee or wave the law through with the loophole

Taken in Shangluo, Shaanxi in June 2021. Now our country is strong, people’s living standards have improved, and we are living a happy life. However, we cannot live the life like this without the countless heroes who fought for the new China. It can be said that without them, there would be no good day for us today. Nowadays, many young people regard celebrities as idols, and there are even people who follow desperately. However, those revolutionary heroes who shed blood and sacrifice for us are rarely sought after. This is very incomprehensible and worrying. So I personally think that red education is very necessary. What do you think? Beikuanping Town belongs to Shangzhou District, Shangluo City, Shaanxi Province. It is located in the hinterland of the northern foot of the Mangling Mountains, with high mountains and steep slopes, which belong to the hilly landform. My first impression here is that it is surrounded by mountains, the environment is beautiful, the air is fresh, rows of private houses are surrounded by lush green plants, it is a small mountain village very suitable for living. However, 79 years ago, this is not the peaceful scene we see today. Back in January 1946, Chiang Kai-shek unilaterally broke the armistice agreement and mobilized more than 300,000 troops to encircle and suppress our Central Plains Liberated Area. With the approval of the superiors, the Central Plains Military Division made a breakthrough. Among them, the main force on the North Road was led by commander Li Xiannian to break west and entered the Shangluo area. In this breakout, Beikuanping Town was an important node. Many important battles took place here. The local armed forces and the masses made important contributions to the breakout of the main force. In the Beikuanping Red Revolution Memorial Hall, the history at that time is recorded. There are vivid heroes, old objects and precious historical photos, which let everyone know more about the revolutionary martyrs of the older generation. The glorious course and the prosperous years of defying sacrifices, fighting bloody battles, and willing to give. After visiting the Beikuanping Revolutionary Memorial Hall, we came to the back mountain, where the mountain is steep and the vegetation is lush. Along the mountain path, there is a sign in front of it that says “Red Army Spring”. Following the instructions, we saw this spring in a hidden place at the Sanchakou of the trail. The spring water is clear, and the spring sounds ding-dong. This is the spring water that the Red Army soldiers drank when they fought here. Along the road and mountains, among the dense bamboo forests, there are still “Revolutionary Sites of Luoxian County Party Committee Government”. The house is very secret, you can’t see it under the mountain. These houses are old-fashioned earth-embroid houses built with soil and grass. Due to their age, they seem to be crumbling. On the side of the house stood a stone stele of the old site. Since visitors come here every day, considering the safety of the old site, a new Shangluo County Party Committee Government Memorial Hall was built below the old site. The memorial hall is guided by the old Red Army, telling us the story of the revolution that happened here. After attending the Beikuanping Red Education Base, I couldn’t calm down for a long time. Countless revolutionary ancestors won the final victory in such a difficult environment, relying on a strong will and a desperate spirit, and then we have today’s prosperous and prosperous China. We must cherish today’s hard-won happy life, and we must also remember those heroes who dedicated themselves to the revolution!

   Sohu Education: What is the talent training model at the undergraduate level of Capital Medical University?

   Wu Ping: (1) The school has a remarkable effect in personnel training. About 50% of Beijing medical and health personnel are trained by our school

   At present, judging from the proportion of students in our school in the Beijing health system, graduates of our school account for 1/2 of hospital doctors in tertiary health institutions; graduates of our school account for 1/3 of hospital doctors in secondary health institutions; community medical institutions, Graduates of our school account for 1/2 of the top; suburban medical institutions, graduates of our school are the main force. In recent years, the employment ratio of school graduates in Beijing has stabilized at over 85%. Of course, this is related to the premise that more than 60% of the students come from Beijing, but apart from this factor, the proportion of staying in Beijing is still very high, the quality of employment in our school is good, and the industry matching degree is high. In recent years, about 90% of graduates’ employment destinations are in the medical and health industry, and more than 45% of them are employed in tertiary hospitals. The postgraduate entrance examination rate is high. In 2020, the overall promotion rate of undergraduates will reach 43%, and some majors will reach 50% to 77%.

   (2) Our school’s undergraduate and junior college majors have distinctive features, which are reflected in the following aspects

   Complete majors and multiple levels: 3 long-term courses, 24 undergraduates, and 14 higher vocational majors

   Set up majors according to needs: small class teaching, elite talent training model

   Obvious professional characteristics: all majors are medicine and medical-related majors

   There are 9 national-level first-class undergraduate majors, 7 national-level specialty majors; 4 Beijing universities to focus on first-class majors, 6 Beijing first-class undergraduate majors, and 10 Beijing-level specialty majors.

   (3) The talent training model is to adhere to the “indomitable” medical student training model to serve social needs

   As the only key medical college in Beijing, our school actively integrates its own development into the capital Beijing and the country’s economic and social development, strives to run a university that is satisfactory to the people, and trains satisfactory doctors. On the basis of concept innovation and the support of higher-level departments, the school has established a “upstanding” talent training model through systematic research and practice, and has explored a new way of sustainable development of medical talent training. The so-called “Dingtian” means that the school is located in the first good area of ​​the capital. Based on the functional positioning of the four “centers” in Beijing, it must have high-level medical disciplines, high-level medical services, and cultivate high-quality top-notch innovative talents; the so-called “site” means Local medical colleges and universities cultivate various types of applicable talents at all levels for communities and rural areas in Beijing, especially for the rural areas of Beijing suburbs to cultivate targeted rural medical and health talents with strong applicability, which can be used, retained, and have a good role. The mission of the school is unshirkable.

   The school is demand-oriented and has set up a reasonable undergraduate training system. From the cultivation of top-notch innovative talents, the cultivation of compound undergraduate talents, the cultivation of medical-related vocational and technical talents to the cultivation of order-oriented talents for rural grassroots, a full-level medical talent training model has been realized.

   Sohu Education: Thank you very much, Mr. Wu, for being a guest on our show today in his busy schedule. I hope candidates and parents can pay more attention to Capital Medical University. This is the end of today’s show. Thank you for watching. Goodbye.

Tim Draper. “I think I would be right on this one,” Draper told CNBC Make It. Draper first made his bold price prediction in 2018, when Bitcoin was trading around $8,000, according to Coinbase. “I will be really right or really wrong [nhưng] I’m pretty sure it’s going in that direction,” Draper said. That’s because Draper believes that virtual currency will be “more used by then”. Draper predicts: “Wait about a year and a half and retailers will use Opennode [một bộ xử lý thanh toán Bitcoin], so people will accept Bitcoin.” Currently only a few major companies accept Bitcoin directly or indirectly through a third-party digital wallet app, including Microsoft, PayPal, Overstock, Whole Foods, Starbucks, and Home Depot. And many experts see Bitcoin as a store of value, like gold, rather than currency. Draper said: “I think [Bitcoin] will continue to increase because there are only 21 million in all. Thanks to its code, only 21 million Bitcoins can be “mined”. To date, over 18 million bitcoins have been in circulation. Draper, 63, who built his fortune by making early investments in Twitter, Skype, Tesla and SpaceX, did not share how many Bitcoins he currently holds or whether he invests in other cryptocurrencies. or not. Draper says most engineers are working on improving Bitcoin right now. Last week, Bitcoin had its first upgrade in four years, called Taproot. Going into effect in November, the reported change will mean greater security and transaction efficiency. It is also meant to unlock the potential for smart contracts on the Bitcoin blockchain, CNBC reported. Bitcoin “Like Microsoft” [trong] software world or Amazon in the world of e-commerce,” said Draper. He believes that Bitcoin will be at the center of all financial activity in the next two to three decades. However, the value of Bitcoin is highly volatile and there are concerns about its massive energy use. For this and other reasons, experts recommend only investing as much money in Bitcoin as you can afford. Hundreds of billions of dollars were wiped out after Elon Musk tweeted in May that he would be suspending Bitcoin purchases at Tesla due to environmental concerns. In 2014, Draper purchased nearly 30,000 Bitcoins seized by US Marshals Services from the Silk Road Online Black Market.

According to reports, the incident occurred shortly after the girl Avery Sanford turned 18. The video at Sanford’s home showed a man driving to where Sanford and her mother lived. A small trailer was pulled behind the car. He slowly raised the trailer body and dumped a pile of coins on it. On the road next to the lawn.

Sanford said her mother did not expect to receive a pile of coins for child support, and when her father showed up with the trailer, the mother did not immediately recognize him. “She didn’t know who it was until he shouted,’This is the last child support payment!'”

When Sanford came home from school, he found that the coins were still on the way. Sanford said that she and her mother were shocked and injured by the incident, but they quickly decided to donate $800 to a local shelter for domestic violence victims. With the help of her friends, she collected all the coins, then packed the coins with her mother and donated every penny to the “safe harbor”. Sanford said: “Donating this money to moms and children in need, I think it really makes this situation positive.”

According to the “Safe Harbor” shelter, Sandford and his mother’s actions moved many people, and more and more people began to donate to the shelter, with a total of more than 5,000 US dollars.

The “ex-husband” who dumped the coins later also accepted a telephone interview with the local media. He said that his actions were the result of frustration accumulated over the past 18 years, and “his emotions controlled him. He also said that the last thing he wanted to do was to further alienate him from his daughter.

Sanford said that she hadn’t spoken to her father for several years, and his father’s recent actions only proved that she was right to delete him.

She said: “When you do something like this, it’s really hurtful for your child.” “No matter how old your child is… the behavior of your parents will always have some impact on you.”

The tweet that the Tesla CEO released Sunday was part of an exchange with twitter users that omitted to refer to a CoinTelegraph article accusing him of “bitcoin manipulation.” Musk said that the company kept $1.5 billion of its initial investment in bitcoin, but sold about 10% to “confirm it’s easy to pay off.” [bằng bitcoin] without distorting the market”. Elon Musk has become a prominent and influential figure in the crypto world. He tweeted in May that Tesla would no longer accept bitcoin as a means of payment for its vehicles, citing the large amount of carbon emissions in bitcoin mining. esla will continue to allow transactions in bitcoin at the car manufacturer’s stores, once it is confirmed that the “mining” energy source is clean energy. Photo: Getty. This action is believed to be the cause of the sell-off of the world’s No. 1 cryptocurrency. Musk’s comments on the sustainability of bitcoin “mining” continue to resonate in the crypto community. A commonly cited metric from the University of Cambridge pegged the annual electricity consumption of bitcoin mining at around 99 terawatt-hours. This consumption is more than that of the Philippines or Pakistan. Some of Musk’s recent tweets have also sparked a mix of excitement, confusion, apprehension, and sometimes even fear in the crypto community. Earlier this month, investors attempted to analyze a mysterious tweet from SpaceX that included a bitcoin symbol and a broken heart emoji. The information that Elon Musk transmits has had a great influence on the price of dogecoin and bitcoin. Musk is also partly blamed for the current drop in bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency complex. The Wall Street Journal has described him as the biggest influence on bitcoin. By the end of June 13, the bitcoin price was up nearly 8%, changing hands at $38,808.09 on CoinDesk.

Back in February, Tesla revealed that it had acquired about $1.5 billion in bitcoin in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. At the time, Tesla paid about $38,000/bitcoin for each bitcoin. This is the average price at the time of Tesla’s Q4 conference on January 27. This conference did not mention any bitcoin holdings and the date of filing with the SEC. Overall, the prices of digital assets like bitcoin are outperforming traditional markets.

On May 30, 2021, the National Young Entrepreneurs Summit will be held in Nanjing. Dong Mingzhu, chairman and president of Gree Electric, delivered a speech at the meeting.

“The responsibility and mission of our generation of entrepreneurs is to make the motherland strong.” Dong Mingzhu said that in China’s manufacturing industry, the low-end level will always be suppressed. So keep in mind the mission of innovation. Only by innovation can we develop more high-end equipment and advanced technologies. It is the value of entrepreneurs to make people live better.

Dong Mingzhu said frankly that Gree Energy is also today because it insists on independent research and development and independently cultivates talents. “We used to rely on other people’s technology, not only follow-up type, but also can be called backward type. But now, Gree Electric has developed from an air-conditioning company to cover the entire industrial chain of consumer goods, solving key core technical problems. And we not only It has broken through the motor technology and delivered it to the world’s top 500 companies to share our technology.”

She said that today, if we cannot innovate technology, then we cannot achieve carbon neutrality. There will always be competition in the world, but the biggest competitor is to change oneself .

In terms of talents, Dong Mingzhu pointed out, Many companies often worship returnees and bring in high-end international talents. However, Gree Electric currently has 16,000 R&D personnel, none of which are returnees, and there is no international talent.

“Gree Electric has given 16,000 Chinese college graduates opportunities and dreams. Up to now we have developed more than 80,000 patented technologies, including more than 40,000 invention patents, which is far ahead in the world.” Dong Mingzhu said.

Dong Mingzhu said that in the past, in the social rankings, we often saw the wealth of successful people. But now we have to pay attention to how many outstanding young people contribute to society. This is a common dream and pursuit that everyone must agree to achieve.

“In an era when young people are not short of materials, what should we pursue more? I want to say that the era of pursuing spiritual wealth has arrived.” She said.

In case of isolation at medical facilities, military barracks, military schools, or other establishments selected by competent state agencies as places of concentrated isolation, the quarantined persons only have to pay for their own meals. 80,000 VND/person/day for concentrated medical isolation facilities. Other expenses such as: transportation from the location where the subject must be isolated to the concentrated medical isolation facility; screening test for SARS-CoV-2; expenses for living needs during isolation days (drinking water, face towels, masks, hand sanitizers, mouth sanitizers, toothbrushes, soap and essential items, total expenses) fee is 40,000 VND/person/day) paid by the state budget. Particularly, people in concentrated isolation belonging to poor and near-poor households will be supported by the state budget for their prescribed expenses, including food costs of 80,000 VND/person/day.

(Source: Reuters) The leading electric car manufacturer Tesla (USA) will again accept vehicles pay in bitcoin when the process of “mining” this cryptocurrency is certified to use clean energy. Tesla CEO, Billionaire Elon Musk announced the above information on June 13 and immediately caused bitcoin to increase 5.1% in value, to $ 37,360.60 at 1:10 am on June 14 (Vietnam time). Billionaire Musk said Tesla will restore use bitcoin coin in payment transactions when “miners” certify that 50% of the electricity used to “mine” cryptocurrencies is clean energy and identify this as a positive trend in the future. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are the “rewards” obtained after the process of “mining” with specialized miners that solve computational problems that allow linking blocks of transactions (blockchains). This process consumes a large amount of energy. In May, billionaire Musk announced Tesla will no longer accept bitcoin as a means of payment in its purchases. The announcement reverses Tesla’s decision in late March to accept payments in bitcoin and invest $1.5 billion in the digital currency. According to the graph of Bitcoin Mining Power Consumption Index produced by the University of Cambridge (CBECI), the energy use for “mining” cryptocurrency has increased continuously since 2016, even skyrocketing in 2020 and up The current level is 149 terawatt-hours (TWh), an all-time high.

On June 13, Tesla CEO tweeted that he will accept Bitcoin electric vehicle payments again. However, this only happens when Bitcoin miners can prove that about 50% of the energy they use is clean energy. According to Reuters, Bitcoin price increased 5% to 37,360.63 USD at 1:10 am on June 14 (Vietnam time) after Mr. Musk’s tweet. Musk also said that Tesla will sell about 10% of its Bitcoin holdings to show that Bitcoin can be easily liquidated. During the first quarter of the year, Tesla sold about $272 million in “virtual assets,” which reduced its operating loss by $101 million. Tesla CEO comments about cryptocurrencies often cause price fluctuations. As a result, he was criticized by CEO Magda Wierzycka of asset management company Sygnia as a “market manipulator” and that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) should investigate. In February, Tesla revealed in an SEC filing that it had purchased $1.5 billion in Bitcoin and would accept Bitcoin as payment for its products. However, then the electric car company paused due to concerns about the method of mining virtual currency, which requires huge electricity consumption, affecting climate change. “We are concerned about the rapidly increasing use of fossil fuels to mine and trade Bitcoin, especially coal, which is the worst emitter,” Musk tweeted in May.

Due to advanced refining techniques, it is difficult for consumers to distinguish real cooking oil from fake. To avoid buying dirty cooking oils, consumers should note the following characteristics: Cooking oil is golden brown, dark yellow Real cooking oil is usually brighter in color. If it is rapeseed oil, it will have a slight greenish yellow color, peanut oil will have a slight orange or yellow orange color. Fake cooking oil is usually dark in color, not bright but slightly dull. The usual color is golden brown, dark yellow, slightly black. Edible oil with sediment Real cooking oil has high transparency, no signs of solidification. When shaking the oil can, the oil feels smoother and easier to spread. However, fake cooking oil contains many impurities, different chemicals, so it is at the bottom of the bottle or it is deposited, solidified, the lower it is, the thicker it becomes. If you shake it gently, you will see that the oil flows smoothly, not smoothly. Cooking oil has a strange taste Real cooking oil has a greasy, characteristic aroma. If it is a specially extracted cooking oil such as peanut oil, rapeseed oil, etc., you will see its own flavor. When tasted, there is no sour or bitter taste. Fake cooking oil does not taste greasy and fragrant like real cooking oil. When tasting, there may be strange tastes due to adulterated oils or chemicals. Oil has a strange smell If you don’t want to taste it, you can also test the smell with your sense of smell. You just need to pour a little oil on the palm of your hand and smell it. Counterfeit cooking oil will have a bad smell, acrid, burnt or rancid, unpleasant. Because they contain too many impurities and are not carefully filtered, when put into plastic bottles, they will quickly react to create a burning smell like burnt plastic. In addition to distinguishing cooking oil by observing and tasting, housewives can also distinguish real cooking oil from fake by the following: – Take a small amount of iodized water into the bowl of cooking oil, if the blue color appears, it means that the cooking oil has been mixed with impurities containing starch. – Heat cooking oil to 150 degrees Celsius and then let it cool. If the oil has deposits, the oil has been adulterated. The more oil settles, the more impurities it shows.

Employees spied on for years Million fine for Ikea in France

Status: 15.06.2021 1:44 p.m.

For years, Ikea had spied out unpleasant employees in France and created customer profiles. Two former managers have now been found guilty – and the furniture store has to pay a fine of more than one million euros. In the process of spying on staff and customers, Ikea was fined one million euros in France. The judges at the court in Versailles found that the French Ikea subsidiary had carried out espionage between 2009 and 2012 to investigate unpleasant employees and create profiles of disgruntled customers. Unions accused Ikea France of fraudulently collecting personal data, particularly through illegally obtained police files, and of divulging personal information without permission. Company lawyers denied that the company had any “general espionage” strategy.

“It’s a symbol”

Abel Amara, a former Ikea employee who helped expose the crackdown, called the ruling a major step in citizens’ defense. “I am glad that there is justice in France,” he said. A trade union lawyer, Solène Debarre, expressed hope that the verdict “will shake some companies”. “A million isn’t much for Ikea, but it’s a symbol,” said Debarre.

December 18, 2017

Private security company took care of the data

The disclosure sheet “Canard enchaîné” reported in 2012 about a systematic spying. The security department of the French Ikea subsidiary commissioned a private security company in 2003 to provide the company with some confidential data on staff and applicants – such as information on possible criminal records or bank statements. Similar information is said to have been requested from customers who were involved in a legal dispute with Ikea. The FO union then filed a complaint against unknown persons about the illegal use of personal data.

Probation and fine

The manager, who was responsible for risk management at the time, admitted in court that 530,000 to 630,000 euros had been allocated annually for such investigations. The instructions to his department had come from the former CEO of Ikea France, Jean-Louis Baillot. This denied the allegations, but was sentenced to a fine of 50,000 euros and two years in prison. Another former responsible received 18 months probation and a fine of 10,000 euros. Of the other 13 defendants, some were acquitted, while others were also given parole. The Swedish group distanced itself from the alleged practices. After the investigation began in 2012, Ikea fired four managers and changed its internal policies. Several civil suits by unions and 74 employees are pending. After the judgment, the company said it had taken note of the decision. You now allow us to look ahead.

Receivables from the tax office Many short-time workers have to pay taxes

Status: 14.06.2021 2:49 p.m.

The short-time work allowance saved many jobs. But many recipients are now realizing that the tax office is demanding an additional tax payment: an additional burden for an already lower income. From Iris Sayram, rbb It is now the third amendment to the short-time work regulation that is going through parliament this week. “With short-time working we secure millions of jobs through the crisis and get the German economy important skilled workers for a quick start now in the summer”, Federal Labor Minister Hubertus Heil (SPD) repeated only recently. This statement is not disputed; but after more than a year of short-time work, there are also side effects.

Short-time work requires a tax return

These are particularly noticeable now, as those receiving the benefits have to submit their tax returns for the 2020 pandemic year. Everyone who has “applied for more than 410 euros in the calendar year” has to make the declaration, according to the website of the Federal Employment Agency (BA). The calculation that as an employee subject to wage tax you usually get something back does not always apply here. Some even have to pay back large sums of money to the tax office. “This mainly affects the recipients who were not sent 100 percent on short-time work, but only partially,” says the managing director of the Federal Association of Wage Tax Aid Associations, Uwe Rauhöft tagesschau.de . The Berlin Left MP Sebastian Schluesselburg knows exactly such a case from his public consultation: A woman from the hotel industry was put on short-time work at the beginning of the pandemic. “Your cash flow is already greatly reduced by the high rent and having a small child,” said Schluesselburg. But she has now been completely “blown away” by the additional tax payment of more than 1000 euros – payable within four weeks.

background 05/19/2021

With the decision comes the tax shock

“This is not an isolated case,” says Uwe Rauhöft from the income tax aid association. “If the regular working hours are reduced to 50 percent and short-time work allowance is granted for the other 50 percent, then the wage tax is sometimes reduced very sharply,” explains the expert. The reduced wage tax will fall disproportionately because of the progressive tax rate. “As a result, however, too little wage tax is paid over the year,” Rauhöft continues. With the income tax return this is now noticeable. Those affected often only noticed this when they received the payment notification. “If you don’t expect it beforehand and don’t know, you now have a problem.” The Federal Employment Agency cannot give precise figures on how many recipients are now confronted with back payments. It is only clear that there are not just a few isolated cases. Several million employees have received short-time allowance since the beginning of the pandemic. According to the latest projections by the BA, it was around 2.6 million in March.

05/05/2021

Experts complain that there is insufficient information

In the FAQ area of ​​the employment agency there is a note in the last sub-item that “short-time allowance as wage replacement benefit is tax-free”. It also states that the service will be taken into account when determining the tax rate. “This can lead to additional tax claims”. This should have been pointed out more clearly, says tax law expert Sandra Inioutis. The tax advisor knows the problem. “It is a highly complicated process and it is not possible to say in general who it affects.” It is all the more necessary to better educate the recipients here. “Perhaps one should have said from an official point that the basically tax-free service is provided with a” but “”, says Inioutis tagesschau.de .

05/22/2021

Little indulgence in repayment

“As if that weren’t bad enough, the tax office is proceeding with full force here,” reports the left-wing politician Schliisselburg. The young family wanted to pay the 1000 euros in two installments, but that would only be possible if all of their own funds were practically exhausted. A credit line must also be used beforehand in order to get a deferral approved. “That is unbelievable. People are being driven into over-indebtedness,” the politician said indignantly. But the law on the possibility of deferral requires that an installment payment is only to be granted in the event of “considerable hardship”. “Unfortunately that is the legal situation. But I would not recommend a deferral either, the interest rate is six percent per year. That will then be even more expensive,” advises expert Rauhöft from the income tax aid association. However, the interest rates for an overdraft facility are likely to be in a similar range or even higher.

Controversial project passed Bundestag decides Supply Chain Act

Status: 11.06.2021 11:58 a.m.

In the future, large German companies will have to pay more attention to compliance with human rights and environmental standards by their suppliers – otherwise they face fines. The opposition criticized the Bundestag resolution. The Bundestag has passed the Supply Chain Act, which makes large companies more responsible than before for conditions at their global suppliers. 412 MPs voted for the law, 159 voted against it and 59 abstained. During the final deliberations in parliament, the Greens announced that they would vote with the government factions of the CDU / CSU and SPD. The FDP and AfD spoke out against it, the left wanted to abstain. The controversial project had been wrestled for a long time.

There is a risk of fines of two percent of sales

From 2023, large companies in Germany will be obliged to take action against human rights violations and environmental violations at their suppliers. Failure to do so can result in fines of up to two percent of annual sales. It initially applies to corporations with more than 3000 employees. According to the coalition, there are more than 925 companies. From 2024, companies with more than 1000 employees are also to be included, which would be around 4800 companies.

“Children belong in schools and not in mines”

Federal Labor Minister Hubertus Heil (SPD) said that politics must take action against child labor. “Children belong in schools and not in mines,” he said. Around 160 million children are currently working around the world, half of them in particularly dangerous conditions. That is why we need clear standards.

For Development Aid Minister Müller it is “the most important law for more justice between rich and poor”. Image: dpa Development Aid Minister Gerd Müller (CSU) said the law was “certainly the most important law for more justice between rich and poor”. He emphasized that it came about against strong lobby pressure. In the interests of business, the Union had enforced that there is no additional civil liability for companies. Corporations would have legal and planning security, so representatives of the Union parliamentary group.

AfD: Law harms German economy

The FDP and AfD, however, accused the regulation of harming the German economy. The AfD criticized that competitors of German companies were the winners of the law. Greens and leftists welcomed the law as a first step, but criticized it as inadequate. The left argued that because there was no civil liability, the law was too weak and made too few companies accountable.

Ex-manager in the diesel scandal 288 million euros in damages for VW

As of: 06/09/2021 4:07 p.m.

The diesel scandal is getting expensive for former VW managers: ex-boss Winterkorn and other former top people have to pay 288 million euros in compensation to Volkswagen – and still expect lawsuits. Former CEO Martin Winterkorn and three other ex-top managers are paying record compensation to Volkswagen because of the diesel scandal. In the final agreement, an amount of just under 288 million euros had been agreed, the company said. However, the majority of the sum is covered by specialized liability insurance.

270 million euros from insurance companies

The former CEO Winterkorn personally pays 11.2 million euros. Ex-Audi boss and VW board member Rupert Stadler is to transfer 4.1 million euros himself. With him and Winterkorn it is about the violation of stock corporation law due diligence. The former Porsche board member Wolfgang Hatz also contributes 1.5 million euros, the former Audi manager Stefan Knirsch 1 million euros. The managers’ insurers generate 270 million euros. In addition to the lawyers of the former managers, more than 30 insurers were involved in the negotiations.

No agreement with Hackenberg

Both the personal payments and the insured coverage would result in “by far the highest sum that such a consortium has ever put on the table in Germany,” said negotiators. VW had also demanded compensation from ex-head of development Ulrich Hackenberg. However, he was not ready to reach an agreement, which is why legal steps should now be prepared against him.

General assembly has to decide

Volkswagen decided in March to hold Winterkorn, Stadler and other former executives in the group financially responsible for breaches of stock corporation law during the diesel scandal. The payments, which have now been agreed with the ex-managers, could put a provisional end in the years of processing individual responsibilities in the emissions affair. VW announced that the supervisory board had already approved the agreement on Saturday. The final decision still has to be made by the general meeting, which will be convened for July 22nd.

Charge of false testimony

However, the VW group and the ex-managers have agreed on the compensation outside of the civil or criminal litigation. However, further questions have to be clarified before the courts themselves in ongoing or upcoming proceedings. For example, the Berlin public prosecutor’s office brought charges against Winterkorn for making a false statement in the Bundestag’s investigative committee into the emissions affair. The authority announced that he should have “deliberately given false information” to the question at which point in time he was informed about the use of software to manipulate the emission values. Winterkorn also has to answer before the Regional Court of Braunschweig – because of the diesel scandal itself. There it is a charge of commercial and gang fraud. Winterkorn has already rejected the allegation.

So far, the scandal has cost VW 32 billion euros

The diesel scandal caught up with Volkswagen and other German car manufacturers in autumn 2015. VW admitted relatively early on that it had installed software in certain diesel engines that only reduced nitrogen oxide emissions on the test bench, but not in road traffic. There have been several trials around the world. Consumer advocates also dealt with the origin of the scandal. As a result, VW had to pay compensation and court costs of around 32 billion euros.

Disclosure report Bezos, Musk and Co. hardly paid any taxes

As of: 06/09/2021 05:04 a.m.

A new report reveals that the richest Americans hardly pay any income tax – among them Amazon founder Bezos and Tesla boss Musk. The tax authority wants to determine how the confidential data became public. By Torsten Teichmann, ARD studio Washington In 2007, multibillionaire Jeff Bezos didn’t pay a dime in US income tax. In 2011, too, the Amazon founder offset his income against losses so much that the US tax authority IRS granted him an income-related child allowance of 4,000 US dollars. This had often been speculated about. But now the numbers are known. The foundation for investigative journalism ProPublica quotes from Bezos tax return. These tax tricks are not illegal. But the network of loopholes and discounts remains denied to most Americans due to lack of assets. They move from salary to salary, as US President Joe Biden complains time and again: “Sometimes I argue with friends in the Democratic Party about it: It’s okay to be a billionaire or a millionaire, but pay your fair share.”

What tax amounts are fair for the rich?

But how much should the top 0.01 percent in the US contribute financially to society? There is a dispute about this. The ProPublica report rekindles this debate. The foundation has obtained official tax documents from thousands of the richest Americans, says the journalist Jesse Eisinger involved in the NPR radio station. They cover a period of 15 years. ProPublica initially refers to the reported income from the tax returns of the 25 richest Americans and the increase in wealth over the period that is not taxed. In addition to Bezos, Tesla founder Elon Musk, Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg and New York’s ex-Mayor Michael Bloomberg will be there.

If we look at the actual tax on capital growth – which is essentially your income – then its tax rate is 3.4 percent. For people like Jeff Bezos or Warren Buffet, it’s even less.

Far from the top tax rate of 37 percent

The investor Warren Buffet paid 0.1 percent tax on income and asset growth between 2014 and 2018, ProPublica calculates. At Bezos it is just under one percent. Americans pay an average of 14 percent income tax. The top tax rate would be 37 percent. America’s billionaires are far from that. The Biden administration reacted cautiously to the findings. Any unauthorized publication of government documents is against the law, said Biden’s spokeswoman Jen Psaki. The Ministry of Finance is trying to clarify how the tax returns have come to the public.

Generally speaking, we know that more needs to be done to ensure that businesses and high-income citizens do more of their fair share. This is what the President says in his proposals, in his budget, and this is how he wants to pay for his proposals. A government proposal provides for higher taxes for households with an annual income of more than $ 400,000. According to the ProPublica report, however, it is completely unclear whether a corresponding reform will generate additional income as long as the loopholes in the tax laws of the USA are not closed.

I am extremely confused and even stuck. There are things I hear, I can’t imagine how people can deduce to that extent. In this mess, what hurt you the most? I was most shocked that Cuong’s message to his fan was real. At first, I thought it was a collage, photoshop to bring me down. But when Cuong admitted that his son used to say that, I was in pain. I was hurt by the feeling of being betrayed because of a misunderstanding in the family. Out of all the bad comments about me in the past few days, what makes you feel the most unjust? It seems that people are researching, inferring and also having distorted things about me according to what they want to hear. At the age of 23, I began to focus on volunteer work and also experienced many emotions because of the reputation. People told me to borrow the name charity to polish myself. I was so frustrated, so I sometimes told myself, stop putting it away, “eat at home, carry the prison and general goods”, no one borrows the body and mind like this. But, later, when I calmed down, I said that “pleasing people is both hard and stupid”. So I decided to do what I felt was necessary. The most unfortunate is probably the story of money that Cuong’s parents asked to keep, but now I’m being told about it. Not only Cuong’s parents, it was Cuong who asked me to keep the money for him. On the day Cuong was awarded the prize money, Cuong’s mother received it. My manager at that time said that Cuong’s parents brought money to his hometown to repair the house and if there was a shortage, he would give more, but Mr. Muoi and Ms. Thu (Cuong’s parents – PV) all said they asked their managers to help. In recent days, the poor family of Ho Van Cuong’s family and the image of a shabby house in the countryside, shared from the sister who sells bottles of adopted children, have flooded the newspapers. Next to her, what did Ho Van Cuong’s parents say? Yesterday, the press also directly interviewed Cuong’s father and mother. The story of Cuong’s family, I do not share anymore and they will have their own thoughts and decisions. What era is this when terrible lies can still exist like I imprisoned the whole Cuong family. Ho Van Cuong’s father’s job is to manage the work at a vegetarian restaurant owned by Phi Nhung, but he keeps being told that he works as a security guard and receives a monthly salary of 10 million. While Ho Van Cuong’s mother helped take care of the children and adopted Phi Nhung, including the grandson of Ho Van Cuong’s parents, the two sisters were told to stay and live. That day, I also wanted to pick up my sister Cuong to live with my parents and younger brother, but after 3 months she wanted to go back to her hometown to get married. How do you and your team think about publicizing Ho Van Cuong’s income and expenses during the past time to whitewash himself? We are considering the date of handing over all the money to Cuong and he will realize his dream of becoming independent. Maybe, that day will take place when Cuong finishes his exam. In fact, Cuong’s parents and manager have always exchanged and held numbers. She once shared that each management company has its own rules, so she doesn’t know much about salary, but her manager shared with the press that, between management, she and Ho Van Cuong are not important. The show’s election system is family relations. What do you explain about this? There is really a familial relationship between us, not calculating the details like the usual activities between a singer and an entertainment company. I say that each company has its own principle that every singer – the company has a satisfactory contract agreement that is acceptable to both parties. But Cuong and me or the company did not have that contract. We treat each other like children of the same family. However, what I dare to affirm, Cuong’s money I do not touch. On the day I give the money back to Cuong, I will give all the money I have. The entire cost of making music products that I have invested in so far, of course, I take care of my children. I adopted Cuong as my son with the promise of a good education and now I am close to fulfilling my promise. What do you think when there is an opinion that the singer does not know his salary, for the management to completely decide the revenue and expenditure is unreasonable? Everyone has an opinion, but I don’t want money to affect my feelings of making art. Of course, I don’t leave everything to others, but I certainly don’t meddle in accounting matters. I work professionally and the balance between my revenue and expenditure budget and the whole company is done by the accountant. Of course, when needed, everything is clearly documented. Over the years, how have you taught and invested in Ho Van Cuong? – Cuong has a desire to sing professionally after graduating from university and that’s what I’m very happy about because I know Cuong’s talent. I also want her to have a professional career, focus on her profession and take her profession seriously. That’s why, when I have free time, I take Cuong to sing to learn, get acquainted with the stage and from colleagues. I also invest in products for Cuong seriously to conquer the audience. What do you think about the public act of criticizing Ho Van Cuong and bringing his adopted child to public opinion a few months ago? It is a wrong act as an adult and a mother. The online world is not as simple as I thought it would be. After that, Cuong and I also talked and everything was cleared up. How do your biological and adopted children encourage you in the midst of this controversy? – “Don’t be sad, we understand you”, they can only say that, but they don’t know how to help you. But, I’m still sad. Everything is on me. I was wrong about asking the online community to teach my children when they are naughty. I simply thought, I hope the online community helps me tell Cuong not to be bad, not to be stubborn anymore. But I was wrong. Many people attacked Cuong and that made Cuong angry. On her fanpage, she still shares her positive energy when regularly exercising, mobilizing people to wear masks when going out and giving gifts in the middle of the epidemic season. Many fans expressed concern, thinking that she was trying to pretend that she was fine. In addition to the shared moments, how do you deal with negative emotions when the market surrounds you? What I share is real. If I have done nothing wrong then there is nothing to worry or fear. When I was so angry, like when I heard Cuong admit that the message to the fan was real, I was very angry. But at that time, I looked at the image of the Buddha of Concern to find peace of mind. I know that in order to solve external problems, you must first solve your own mind. That’s how I deal with negativity.

– I love you for so long, but if she doesn’t let me do anything, maybe it’s gone. Well, let’s break up and find another girl. – Don’t worry, my girlfriend and children are obedient, nothing can be lost. – Come on, dad, it’s a dumb chicken Now that I’m still zin, that’s the problem, dad. There was a problem so no one touched it. You should reconsider your girlfriend, but when a girl loves to hold on to that, there is a real problem. It makes sense to listen to them, but it’s not, because now things are not like our grandparents used to be. Now people even encourage pregnancy before marriage for fear that many people will not be able to have children after marriage. If you don’t believe it, then let me go to someone else so I can find my true happiness (illustration) So I went back and invited my girlfriend. She mentioned it a few times before, but she resolutely kept it, this time I took the initiative to ask again: – Loved each other for more than 1 year, brought back to meet my parents, but you still don’t believe me? If you don’t believe it, I’ll let you go to someone else so you can find your true happiness. “It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s because I want to keep you.” You and I are not young anymore, we are both mature. Determined to come together, it’s okay to wait a little longer when we get married. – But my mother said that many people are very infertile now, the daughters-in-law of his mother’s friends all returned for several years without giving birth, so I am worried. Mom is telling you to get pregnant and get married. Actually, that’s when I thought of what my mother said, but my mother did not encourage me to do it. But unexpectedly, the lover really believed: – Did your mother really say that? – Yes, my mother said that I am old, but not in my twenties. Now that I’m pregnant, my mother will marry me. I didn’t expect her to be here, everyone, and agreed to go to the motel with me that night. But what made me so surprised and happy was that on the pure white sheet there were red blood stains, proving that my girlfriend was still a virgin. I happily texted my friend: – My girlfriend is still 100% zin, here is the proof. – Come on, Dad, it’s too early to be happy. Who knows, what if she patched? – What is it? – Maybe your girlfriend fake it. The 26-year-old girl is still zin I go to the ground. Don’t believe it, ask online and see… At this time, I also half believed and half doubted so I decided to post my status line on Facebook. “The 26-year-old daughter is still zin, which proves it’s fake, everyone.” I didn’t expect people to comment very loudly, each with an opinion. Some people say it’s true, some say it’s fake, some even tag my girlfriend’s name. At that time, when I read the comments, I was so excited that I didn’t expect that each of these stories would be dissected from many angles, and it was fun to tell. Then I fell asleep at random, my girlfriend slept before me. When I woke up, she was nowhere to be found, I went to the bathroom and she was not there. I discovered there was a 500k bill on the nightstand. This money is definitely left by the girlfriend because there are only 2 people in the room. “I paid you last night, don’t look for me anymore. I didn’t expect him to be like that.” (illustration) Or she went to buy breakfast, I took out my phone to call her when I saw the message she left: “ I paid you last night, don’t look for me anymore. I didn’t expect him to be like this.” . My phone is still flooded with notifications from Facebook, many people tag their names and ask my girlfriend directly: “You let him tell you that.” “That kind of thing is abandoned early”. Since then, she hasn’t appeared in front of me anymore. I asked friends who knew someone who said they didn’t know, who didn’t, but most of her close friends were disdainful towards me, as if I was the one to blame for her to leave. Until now, after 2 years, I still haven’t seen my ex. I am married, and my wife was not chaste when she came to me. Sometimes when I think back, I still feel that I was a bit too much with my ex, maybe if it happened today, I wouldn’t have asked on the internet like that. If she reads these lines, I hope you will forgive me… Wish you a peaceful and happy life forever.

LTS: Working at the first newspaper to charge readers in Vietnam, journalist Tran Tien Duan, Editor-in-Chief of VietnamPlus e-newspaper said that charging readers is a trend of the world’s press. To collect fees effectively, newsrooms must orient the production of content for paying readers that specialize in specific areas and must make a worthy investment to improve the quality of articles. Big, hot issues are at the forefront. VietNamNet would like to introduce the following article of Mr. For online newspapers, revenue is mainly from advertising and media contracts. However, now, there is a big shift when businesses choose advertising media through social media more instead of advertising on electronic newspapers. The transformation of advertising methods and the reduction of revenue is a really challenging economic problem for newspaper leaders. E-newspapers want to survive and develop, they need to find new forms of journalism economy, in which fee collection can be a solution for electronic newspapers in Vietnam. Editor-in-Chief of VietnamPlus Online Newspaper Tran Tien Duan Fee collection at VietnamPlus e-Newspaper There are many newspapers in the world such as Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post (USA), Financial Times, The Economist (UK), Svenska Dagbladet and Aftonbladet New Media (Sweden), Folha de São Paulo (Brazil). .. had early success with the digital-based fee model, before the growth of online advertising revenue slowed down and even declined in recent years. In addition, a harsh reality that has emerged in recent years is that up to 75-80% of digital advertising revenue flows into the pockets of two giants Google and Facebook. Because of that, newspapers found that they could no longer depend on advertising revenue, so charging readers really became a trend of the world press. On June 20, 2018, VNA’s online newspaper VietnamPlus became the first and only Vietnamese press agency to collect fees for reading content on digital platforms. Every day, VietnamPlus only distributes about 5-10 fee-based articles, including in-depth analysis articles, exclusive interviews, etc., produced by the newsroom itself, or translated under the franchise of major press units. In the world. Because the quantity of news sold is small, it does not affect the provision of essential information to serve readers and still ensures the principles and orientation of the VNA. VietnamPlus is the national foreign affairs electronic newspaper under the VNA. Therefore, the newspaper has many advantages due to the information system of the VNA and from 90 resident agencies at home and abroad. Therefore, VietnamPlus has more advantages when it comes to building specialized and in-depth content for its premium products, creating “commodity” products of high value and use value. Target a wide audience willing to pay to own that unique article or news. Interface of fee collection page of VietnamPlus newspaper The content that VietnamPlus has been collecting fees for focuses on 4 main areas: Politics – society, world, economy – technology and culture – sport. These articles are analyzed from multiple perspectives, and more importantly, have a lot of exclusive information because they are provided quickly, timely, and attractively by resident correspondents abroad. public interest. Regarding access organization, while The Straits Times and other fee-based online newspapers often put both paid and free content on the same website, Vietnam Plus separates the fee to https: //pay.vietnamplus.vn and free at https://vietnamplus.vn. This is to avoid offending readers who are not used to paying for e-newspapers, but will also affect the ability to cross-promote for subscriptions. In the near future, the newsroom is also planning to change it to allow partial reading, creating an incentive for users to be willing to pay. Taking the first step on a new path, VietnamPlus e-newspaper has constantly learned from the electronic newspaper fee models in the world, researched the information needs of domestic readers to build and develop this model. in your own newspaper. Currently, VietnamPlus uses many strategies to achieve its goals: Periodical newsletters, information on specific topics (politics, economics, culture, science) to attract subscribers to target each audience. customers and targeting each specific customer group on Facebook, Google does not use advertising to bring its posted content to potential new customers. Vietnamplus aims to continue to produce high-quality, long-form content such as mega-story, long-form, and not only restrict the content to economic, financial, strategic, and business secrets, but also open it up. other fields such as technology, sports, entertainment, politics, new trends, forecast information… and collect fees from these articles. Some problems raised in electronic newspaper fee collection In the economic activities of journalism, in order to collect fees effectively, newsrooms must orient the production of content for paying readers to specialize in specific areas and must make worthy investments to improve the quality. posts. Big, hot issues come first, otherwise there would be no reason to convince people to subscribe. Because the readers who can afford to pay are often businesses, researchers, press agencies, people with high income and qualifications, they need information from experts, managers, comment on a topics that are important to them. A newsletter from the VietnamPlus e-newspaper Through polling and surveying the groups and individuals that buy information from VietnamPlus, they found that the news sold has a high content of information, going deep into a field or issue that public opinion and society are interested in. Such news they accept to pay for the source of information they are using. Through this, VietnamPlus also determined, selling news must focus on readers, must find a way to determine what their readers need. Readers will spend money when they really believe that they have valuable, quality sources. And the question is: how can we create many “goods” that are attractive enough to users, making them “pickpocket” to pay? Payers buy high-quality content, not cheap. Readers pay for content because it helps them stay informed and post about issues they care about. And readers appreciate the exclusive content they have access to more than ancillary benefits like promotional giveaways when they sign up. Paid readers send a clear signal that news outlets that want growth cannot cut costs. Acquiring a paid audience requires an investment in high-quality content and a focus on meeting the needs of the audience. It is not easy to convince readers to pay when they are used to free information, so VietnamPlus’s pioneering in this field is also to help readers get used to reading paid newspapers. money. Must-know content turns free readers into paying readers. Informative, insightful, specialized content motivates readers to withdraw, which is the key to retaining readers. It is also about turning the habits of readers into our habits, understandable that when readers accept to pay for an information, it means that it is the act of paying for their own habits. Therefore, VietnamPlus e-newspaper also focuses on the habits of its readers. Habits are the best way to increase engagement. In addition, a difficulty in selling news is due to technology limitations. When it was newly built to collect fees, VietnamPlus’s method was still limited to only using mobile phones from a network operator. Currently, payment gateways have been expanded, allowing a variety of other payment methods such as bank cards, e-wallets, QR codes… VietnamPlus is planning to upgrade the payment system. Moreover, the fact that copyright in Vietnam has been a difficult problem to solve for many years. A good article just published in a certain newspaper will immediately be copied in its entirety. If a newspaper has a lock on its special articles and only provides them to paying readers, it is also difficult, because a website that aggregates information only needs to spend a little money to read and ” collage”, then this information will no longer be “poisonous”. Because of these reasons, it is understandable that the trend of charging readers to read e-newspapers in Vietnam is prone to failure right from the start. Collecting money from online readers in Vietnam is very difficult nowadays, but if they want to change the revenue structure, press agencies have to start working. The most important thing is to protect copyright, not to let a good article be cut and pasted by dozens of other websites on your site comfortably. The locking of articles and invitations to buy online newspapers need to be carried out simultaneously in many newspapers to create a positive effect. In 2019, Vietnam’s online advertising revenue was estimated at 648 million USD, of which Facebook accounted for 275 million USD, Google 174.9 million USD, domestic units accounted for only 180.9 million USD.

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. As for the case of Ms. ATH, VNPT HCMC said that it will accompany the customer to provide necessary information to serve the investigation agency.

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.

In addition to depending on the preferences of the homeowner, according to architect Vo The Duy (CTA | Creative Architects), homeowners need to pay attention to the following three factors: The first step is the selection of plant varieties Most urban houses are narrow tube townhouses, the area for the garden is also limited, so choose tree varieties with pile roots (the roots are not too massive, less horizontal growth affects the structure of the building). Plants often lose their leaves and many people, although they like nature, are afraid to sweep leaves because of their busy schedule. Meanwhile, sweeping leaves is also a tree care job, people who love taking care of trees, nature will love this job. However, when the homeowner does not have much time, it is still possible to grow houseplants with varieties of plants with few leaves or less falling or falling seasonally such as peach fairy, sesame buds, Taiwanese eagle … Depending on the preferences and nature of the project, homeowners can choose tree varieties for shade, fruit trees, beautiful flowering trees, shrubs, etc. Therefore, homeowners need to pay attention to coordinate for harmony, have parents. Reasonable arrangement, avoid planting too many varieties causing confusion and confusion. For example, a large tree with beautiful shape or beautiful flowers like star fruit and longan needs space and space to be able to exploit the beauty, avoid planting many varieties of trees that are crowded or obscured. The accompanying plants should be low trees, not too prominent in color or just gravel to clean the area below the tree. If you mix shrubs, you need to choose 3-4 varieties, don’t choose too many or you will get confused. Priority is given to varieties with beautiful leaves, larger size to make the main point, the rest are varieties with small leaves or different leaf shapes and colors to honor the main tree. Arrange trees and shrubs in Wall house (CTA|Creative Architects). The second is the planting location The location should be well-lit, ventilated and spaced enough to ensure the growth needs of the tree as well as a place with a good location. The planting locations are usually arranged in the front, backyard or atrium, skylight to meet the above requirements as well as increase the aesthetics of the building. In addition, for large plants, it is required to avoid positions such as beams and large beams because of structural safety factors. In addition, homeowners need to have techniques for planting planting holes to avoid the influence of tree roots on the construction. The requirements for waterproofing and drainage for the plant location also need to be considered when intending to grow plants indoors and need professional advice to ensure technical factors. Finally, homeowners need to pay attention to maintenance Trees need to be cared for and easily replaced if damaged or dead or the owner’s needs. Besides good drainage, the plant also needs to be watered and fertilized regularly. From maintenance requirements, the location of plants may have to be changed to suit reality. Homeowners should install a smart automatic irrigation system to reduce watering and bathing while still enjoying the lush nature in the house.

Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts the victim’s data. Cybercriminals using ransomware also often steal data. The hackers then demanded a payment to unlock the files and promised not to leak the stolen data. In recent years, hackers have targeted victims with cyber insurance policies, and large volumes of sensitive consumer data make them more likely to pay ransoms, according to cybersecurity experts. According to the unnamed source, CNA paid the hackers about two weeks after a bunch of company data was stolen and CNA officials were locked out of its own network. CNA does not comment on the ransom, with a CNA spokesperson saying CNA followed all laws, regulations and guidelines, including OFAC’s 2020 ransomware guide, in handling the matter. CAN also shares attack intelligence and hackers’ identities with the FBI and the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control because facilitating ransom payments to hackers can cause punishment risk. The largest ransom amount Ransomware attacks – and payments in particular – are rarely disclosed so it’s difficult to know what the largest ransom is. The $40 million payout is larger than any previously disclosed payments to hackers. The hackers attacking CNA used malware called Phoenix Locker, a variant of ransomware called ‘Hades.’ According to cybersecurity experts, Hades was created by a Russian cybercrime organization called Evil Corp. Evil Corp. was sanctioned by the United States in 2019. However, identifying attacks can be difficult because hacking groups can share code or sell malware to each other. CNA, which provides cyber insurance, said its investigation concluded that the Phoenix hacker group was not on the US sanctions list. The disclosure of the payment is likely to draw outrage from lawmakers and regulators who are unhappy that US companies are paying large sums of money to criminal hackers who over the past year have targeted hospitals, drug manufacturers, police forces and other entities critical to public safety. The FBI discourages organizations from paying ransoms because it encourages additional attacks and does not guarantee data will be returned. Last year was a standout year for ransomware groups, with a task force made up of security experts and law enforcement agencies estimating that victims paid around $350 million in ransom last year, up 311% compared to 2019. The Task Force suggested 48 actions the Biden administration and the private sector could take to mitigate such attacks, including better regulation of money markets. digital currency used to make ransom payments. The report, prepared by the Institute for Security and Technology, was delivered to the White House days before the Colonial Pipeline Company was compromised in a ransomware attack that resulted in fuel shortages and long lines at stores. gas stations along the US East Coast Bloomberg reported that Colonial paid hackers nearly $5 million shortly after the attack. Colonial CEO Joseph Blount, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal published Wednesday, confirmed that the company paid the hackers – $4.4 million in ransom. According to two people familiar with the CNA attack, the company initially ignored the hacker’s request and attempted to recover the data without negotiating with the criminals. But within a week, the company decided to start negotiating with the hackers, who were demanding $60 million. Residents said the payment was made a week later. According to Barry Hensley, chief intelligence officer at cybersecurity firm Secureworks Corp. then the Phoenix Locker seems to be a variation of Hades based on the overlap of the code used in each. He said they have not yet identified which hackers used the Hades variant to attack CNA. Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike Holdings Inc believes Hades was created by Evil Corp. to bypass US sanctions against the hacking group. In December 2019, the Treasury Department announced sanctions against 17 individuals and six entities associated with Evil Corp. At the time, the Treasury Department said Evil Corp used malware “to infect computers and collect login information from hundreds of banks and financial institutions in more than 40 countries, causing more than 100 million dollars of theft. “It is illegal for any U.S. company to knowingly pay a ransom to Evil Corp. According to Melissa Hathaway, President of Hathaway Global Strategies and a former cybersecurity adviser to Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, demand for ransomware has grown exponentially over the past six months. Hathaway said the average hacker’s ransom demand is between $50 million and $70 million. Those claims are often negotiable, and companies often pay ransoms in the tens of millions of dollars, in part because cyber insurance policies cover some or all of the costs. Hathaway estimates that the average payout is between $10 and $15 million. Ngoc Linh – According to Insurance Journal

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

Like a wholesale market of forest products Unlike the markets in the Northwest that usually only meet on one day and then dissolve, the Saturday night Tua Chua market is busy from dusk on Saturday night until almost the end of Sunday afternoon. In the mornings from Monday to Saturday, Tua Chua market has people selling groceries, clothes, food… in cages, but there are few buyers. At noon on Saturday, the market began to gradually crowded with people from the Mong, Thai and Dao ethnic groups in the district bringing goods down to prepare for the fair, the most crowded being the Mong ethnic people. Just bought the orchid from the people, the “mixed touch” person offered to sell it right away On the way from Hanoi to the Northwest and Northeast highlands, people below have never seen a market with a lot of wild orchids, wild ginseng, herbs like at Tua Chua market on Saturday night, like a market. The clues of these goods come from the mountains and forests. Small traders at Tua Chua market said that before, the market was only held on Sunday mornings behind cage houses, the Mong ethnic people went to the market to sell chickens, ducks, underarm pigs, home-grown agricultural products, and herbs exploited in the forest. then buy clothes, farm tools, household appliances. People who buy and sell wild orchids from natural places gather in Tua Chua to hunt orchids of local people to exploit forest orchids or grow wild orchids at home and then sell them. They dated people to buy and sell wild orchids on Saturday night at Tua Chua market. It is always convenient for the Mong ethnic people to go to the market to sell orchids on Saturday night and then stay at the market on Sunday morning. So Tua Chua market has had a Saturday night market for more than 3 years now. The front of Tua Chua market looks very popular, unlike the vibrant scene in the back At first, Tua Chua fair market on Saturday night only had people buying and selling wild orchids, later on, people also brought wild ginseng, special agricultural products of the highland such as small root ginger, black turmeric, cardamom, and herbs. pharmacy… Buyers see many things below that they don’t have or have but are not as good, so they can buy more to use, as gifts. Guests spread the word about the interesting, unique and strange things they bought, making the Saturday night Tua Chua market noticed. However, Tua Chua is far away, not everyone has the conditions and time to come, so orchid hunters make contact with local people, asking for help buying and sending. Seizing the opportunity, some local people became collectors, collectors of business, Tua Chua market on Saturday night became a wholesale market of wild orchids, forest ginseng, precious agricultural products, and highland herbs from Vietnam. when no one knows. It can be said that this is the only night market selling wild orchids and ginseng in Vietnam so far. Mobile technology pervades Those who specialize in buying forest orchids, ginseng through rocks, herbs at Tua Chua market on Saturday night are mostly Kinh people in other localities but living in Tua Chua; a few are young people from the Mong, Thai, and Dao ethnic groups from Sin Ho (Lai Chau), Quynh Nhai (Son La), Tuan Giao, and Muong Cha (Dien Bien). Wild orchids are the most sought after item. Every Saturday, they gather at Tua Chua market to pick up people from the villages to bring orchids to the market. Bought a lot are rare orchids such as scallops; Orchid with beautiful flowers are popular as paint daffodils, kim scallops, square kieu, purple kieu, yellow kieu, royal lap, Hoang Thao, jade point … The price of orchids is high or low depending on each orchid, orchid bush. People in the village who are honest but buy and sell many times also know that they shouldn’t be in a hurry to sell, but just put it out there for buyers to see, tell the price, whoever pays more will sell. “Mixed trim” sells wild orchids Unlike wild orchids, the types that are considered precious from the mountains such as rock ginseng (rock ginseng), three-kid tubers, herbs are almost the same purchase price, the only difference is large, small, and quality. How fresh and dry. At dusk, Tua Chua market on Saturday night began to be bustling. Those who come for the first time will be amazed with the light from the flashlights mounted on the seller’s head and the light from the many smart mobile phones that are directly transmitting images for sale. Perhaps even the big cities in Vietnam do not have a market where the “hybrid touch” sales force is as large as in Tua Chua market far away in this Northwest highland. Buyers who gathered enough goods, began to “mix and trim” to sell online. Each person has 2-3 phones working at the same time, just transmitting pictures of each orchid, introducing, trading, and selling prices continuously: “Is there anyone who closes the ceiling of the earth orchids, is it beautiful? glass is always, beautiful bag, always coffee”, “Mr. Tran Phuc, the price of bare berry is 480,000 VND, is it OK for my sister?”, “Brother Le Trung, please give me the phone number above. Please finish off the overseas spring rolls, price 150,000 VND, please”, “This application for painting daffodils is closed for Mr. Tu Cuong, what is the address in Hue, bro”… The buyer side also responded: “Sister, look at the orchid here, let me see how the orchid is, but 50 million or 5 million dong?”, “50 million, but how can 5 million dong get you, orchids? it’s rare”. Closing any order, the seller immediately took the phone number and address written on the small piece of paper attached to the orchid that had just had a buyer. For precious orchids, the seller “hybrid touch” does not set a specific price, but gives the starting price of each tree for those who love that type of orchid to auction. The highest bidder wants to own that orchid but is far away, must ask an acquaintance at Tua Chua who has knowledge about orchids to check the tree and receive the goods immediately. Unlike the orchid sellers who have booths, sit on the spot “hybrid touch trim”, those who “hybrid touch trim” to sell ginseng and herbs mostly do not have stalls. They walk around the market, holding a tree with 2-3 smartphones, and carrying a small bag with a notebook on their shoulders. Seeing the place of ginseng and herbs of the villagers that are beautiful, the “mixed touch” people put the phone in to introduce, price immediately without asking the villagers how to sell. “Today, my family has ginseng piercing stone cool liver, good health for both men and women, very nice products. The price of big ginseng root is 80,000 VND per pound, small root is 60,000 VND per kilogram. Please order quickly”, “Hey guys, is this ginseng beautiful, put it in glass glue soaked in wine, it looks very nice, it’s good to drink”, “If you like stewed chicken with ginseng, this ginseng is great very”, “Brother Nam in Hanoi 2 pounds right? Sister in Saigon 4 pounds give me the address, phone number too”… After finishing the order with customers online, those who “mix and touch” will ask the price, pay the price with the villagers and weigh the goods. They pay but are not in a hurry to pick up the goods to free their hands to go to another “hybrid touch” to continue. At the end of the night of the market, each person “crossed and touched” sold at least 20-30 kg of ginseng, some people managed to lock up to a hundred kilograms. Closing the order, the person who “preliminarily trims” records the ticket immediately Know “hybrid touch”, sell more goods Ms. Mi Sen and 3 Dao people are all from Sin Ho (Lai Chau province) selling at this market for only one year. They buy ginseng from local people to collect in the forest and then bring it to this market to sell. At first, the girls sold it to a few people who specialized in “hybrid touch trim”, gradually learned how people did it, and then also “hybrid touched trim” sold their own ginseng, only reaching the level of “hybrid touching trim” on one phone. only phone, but the sales are more than before. A teacher from Thai Binh came to Tua Chua to teach, and every time she went to the fair, she went to the market to sell ginger, black turmeric, and cardamom to earn extra income. She said that ginger and black turmeric grown in the highlands are more spicy and fragrant than those grown in the lowlands, so they are very popular. Usually customers close orders of at least 5 kg of ginger or turmeric, at least 1 kg of cardamom. She bought it, packed it, called the “Giaohangtietkiem” party to pick it up and deliver it for her, the “cyp” money (delivery fee) was paid by the customer, for every 5 kg of ginger, the fee was about 30,000 – 40,000 VND. The teacher speaks Hmong, so she has the advantage of fast transactions with the Mong people who go to the market to sell goods compared to other “mixed touch” people. Those who “hybrid touch” work until 23 o’clock, then temporarily stop, bring the goods to pack to deliver in the morning to the “cyp” carrier for the customer. They sleep on the spot or rent a motel to take advantage of a few hours. Around 5-6 am on Sunday morning, this force again went to the market to hunt for beautiful forest orchids, good ginseng penetration, continue to “mix and trim” to take advantage of closing more orders. Over a Saturday night and a Sunday morning, mobile technology has brought goods from Tua Chua market to many buses to all regions. On Sunday morning, returning to the market, the Mong and Thai people saw us handing over our phones to take pictures and videos, and they asked again: “Did you just come here?”. At dusk on Saturday night, the Mong ethnic people bring their goods to the market Meeting day If you go to the provinces in the Northwest and Northeast, if you meet on the right day of the fair, all lowland people will like it. The fair for the highlanders is like a festival to meet each other, trading is simply selling what they can grow and raise in the village or go to the forest to earn and then buy what they need. These very rustic images allow people below to walk up and down the market to learn many unique cultural features of each ethnic minority community.

This hacker organization has received ransom from many victims. This shows that data ransom attacks have become a lucrative business for cybercriminals. Bitcoin is increasingly preferred by criminal organizations Earlier this month, Colonial Pipeline suffered a severe attack that forced the company to shut down nearly all of its fuel system supplying the southeastern states of the United States. The FBI confirmed the crime was DarkSide, a cybercrime organization believed to be located in Eastern Europe. Last week, it was reported that Colonial had agreed to pay $ 5 million to DarkSide (in bitcoin) for the data recovery password. Recently, the CEO of the company confirmed this information. DarkSide operates like a business. This group develops malicious code to crack and steal the target’s data, then trains partners, the partners continue to train the hackers. When hackers use this malicious code to carry out successful missions, DarkSide will receive a percentage of those successful attacks. In March 2021, when it announced a new software that can crack data faster than before, DarkSide even released a press release and invited reporters to interview. Hackers often demand ransom in virtual currency. London-based blockchain analytics firm Elliptic has identified a bitcoin wallet that DarkSide uses to receive ransoms from victims. On May 14, London-based blockchain analytics firm Elliptic said it had identified a bitcoin wallet used by DarkSide to collect ransoms from victims. That same day, Intel 471 security researchers said DarkSide closed after losing access to its servers and when the organization’s virtual currency wallets were empty. According to Elliptic, DarkSide and other affiliates of this organization have collected at least $90 million in bitcoin ransoms, and they receive funds through 47 different digital wallets. “To our knowledge, this analysis includes all payments to DarkSide,” said Tom Robinson, Elliptic co-founder and chief scientist. However, there may be other undetected transactions, so this $90 million figure should be considered the lowest limit.” Also according to Elliptic’s research, DarkSide’s bitcoin wallet was holding $5.3 million in cryptocurrency before it was all withdrawn last week. There are some rumors that these bitcoins have been seized by the US government. Of the $90 million ransom, $15.5 million went to the developers of DarkSide and $74.7 million to affiliates. Much of that is being sent to cryptocurrency exchanges and thereby converted into fiat. Bitcoin is increasingly preferred by criminal organizations as crypto traders do not reveal their identities. However, because the digital ledger that underpins bitcoin is public, researchers can keep track of where these funds are going.

That means if the autonomous feature is needed, car owners can activate it and pay for it. Currently, any car connected to the internet can receive software updates, similar to electronic devices like smartphones. Even with just one software upgrade, the range of an electric vehicle can be dramatically increased. Existing platforms make Volkswagen’s head of sales and marketing Klaus Zellmer think the group can exploit that way of working to give customers more freedom in the use of their vehicles. Instead of letting customers choose the equipment, Volkswagen will assemble the car with everything but disable them with software. When there is a need to use it, customers spend more money to rent that feature under a monthly or yearly subscription package. To visualize, Zellmer used the example of Level 4 autonomous mode expected on VW vehicles in the future. As soon as this almost the highest self-driving feature is officially adopted and widely used, many people probably still do not believe it and do not use it. So they won’t have to spend money. As for car owners in need, Zellmer shared that they may need to pay about 7 euros, about $ 8.5, per hour to be able to use the level 4 autonomous feature.

DOGE-1 will send a 40 kg Geometric Energy Corporation satellite to the Moon. This satellite will collect information about the planet Earth. Representatives of the two companies have not announced the contract value paid in Dogecoin. The DOGE-1 program will send a satellite to the Moon on a Falcon 9 rocket. Fees are paid in Dogecoin. Photo: SpaceX. SpaceX vice president Tom Ochinero said the DOGE-1 program “will demonstrate the application of extraterrestrial cryptocurrencies and lay the groundwork for transplanetary commerce.” Earlier, Elon Musk said that SpaceX will “actually put a Dogecoin on the Moon”. However, he made his statement on April 1, so no one is sure if he was joking or telling the truth. SpaceX is not the first company run by Elon Musk to accept cryptocurrency payments. In February, Tesla announced it was buying $1.5 billion in Bitcoin and accepting payments for cars in the currency. The move caused Bitcoin price to surge. In the crypto world, the term “to the moon” is often used to refer to a coin’s value skyrocketing. According to Coinmarketcap, on the morning of May 10 (Vietnam time) Dogecoin is priced at about 0.55 USD, with a market capitalization of 72 billion USD, ranking 4th after Bitcoin, Ethereum and Binance coin.

According to Coinmarketcap data, the value of each Dogecoin coin has increased from $0.34 on May 1 to $0.69 as of the morning of May 8. Many fans of Musk and Dogecoin even plan to invite friends over to watch and celebrate if the coin’s price skyrockets.

According to the data of Coinmarketcap , from nearly 0.7 USD, Dogecoin dropped to more than 0.5 USD after more than 30 minutes of the program. The market capitalization of this coin dropped from $90 billion to just $68 billion after 1 hour, more than $150 million of leveraged investors was blown away. As expected by many, Elon Musk mentioned Dogecoin in the middle of the show. “Recently, the prices of many cryptocurrencies have increased, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and especially Dogecoin,” replied Elon Musk when asked “what is cryptocurrency”.

Now, instead of always worrying about carrying too much cash, consumers can go out with peace of mind with just a credit card or simply a phone and smart watch. In many countries, the Covid-19 pandemic has shortened the transition to cashless payments. Many central banks around the world are also planning to issue digital currencies, led by the People’s Bank of China. “Each country has its own development needs,” said Zhou Xiaochuan, former Governor of the Central Bank of China and vice-president of the Boao Forum for Asia. We can expect that in the long run, the world’s digital currencies can integrate and exchange rate problems can become less complicated. This is a development direction.” Illustration: KT Late last year, Google, Singapore’s Temasek, and venture capital firm Bain & Company jointly conducted a study on the adoption of digital platform technologies across Southeast Asia. The results show that, in the 6 largest economies of Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam), the number of people accessing the internet reached 40 million people for the first time last year, raising the number of internet users to 40 million people for the first time in 2020. the total number of internet users in the region to 400 million, about 70% of the population of these countries compared to 250 million in 2015. At the same time, the size of the region’s internet economy also surpassed the $100 billion threshold for the first time. If this trend is maintained, the report predicts, this number will likely triple to more than $300 billion by 2025. A newer Mastercard report released on May 4 adds more detail to the day-to-day impacts of the pandemic, particularly on consumers’ daily spending habits. The report shows that access to digital payment technologies has increased in the Asia-Pacific region. Specifically, 94% of the respondents said that they would consider using at least one emerging payment method in the next year such as QR code, e-wallet or mobile phone, installment plan, cryptocurrency, credit card, etc. biometrics… According to Mastercard’s Executive Vice President of Product and Innovation – Sandeep Malhotra, consumers in Asia Pacific have seen major changes in their payment habits and this is not only driven by demand, but also by demand. based on considerations of personal safety, security, and convenience, at a time when these concerns are paramount. However, economic experts also warn, whether digital currency or digital asset, all must integrate and serve the real economy and the global financial crisis of 2008 is money label lesson. Once the financial sector separates from the real economy, the risk of deviating is inevitable.

Recently, Beck received many ads from Tinder about premium service. Beck has never paid for a dating app. He thinks paying £14.59 a month is an unreasonable price. “I just turned 28. Sometimes I wonder if I’m being charged more than young people. If you’re single at 28, do the tech giants know that many people are so scared that they might pay any price to get a date?”, Beck told The Guardian . Dating apps, make friends quite popular with young people in recent years. Photo: Ties. Beck conducted a survey with friends, relatives, and community groups and asked them to submit screenshots of the prices they pay for using dating apps. In the group of respondents who responded, there was a clear difference. Those over 30 will be charged £27.49-29.49/month, while the rest of the users only have to pay £13.99-14.49. Tinder isn’t the only dating app with paid services. Many other platforms also launch similar features besides the free version to expand the scope of searching for love for users. For example, Bumble asks members to pay £14.99/month for Bumble Boost to give them access to unlimited “swipe” (showing interest in someone) mode. With the Bumble Premium plan (£32.99/month), users can see who has liked them. This functionality is similar on the premium service of Coffee Meets Bagel (£34/month). In addition, they will also receive a large amount of information about other people such as recent activity history. Pay to find love Sophie Thomas, a dating and love expert, says everyone should buy an upgraded feature. “You can absolutely meet your ideal person by using free services. However, if you’re really serious about the big milestone in your life, it’s also a good thing to invest in dating,” says Thomas. According to Thomas, paying a fee helps users get better search engines, which can save time and effort. “Getting to know someone takes a long time, so you shouldn’t be in a hurry to make friends with a stranger. Once you’re happy with an app, buy a long-term subscription to access dating opportunities until you find the right one,” she added. James Preece, podcast host Love Machine , agree with this statement. However, he argues that it’s not simply paying more to get better results. If the profile, photos, and messages are bad, the person will still get the desired results. “If the record is good, unlocking extras can boost your chances. Some of the premium functions like on Bumble allow you to use more filters when searching. That can help you get quality ‘matches’,” Preece said. The premium features of the dating app bring unlimited modes to users. Photo: Timesnext. Besides those who agree, many argue that paying a large amount of money to find love is a waste. Kate Mansfield (from London, UK), relationship expert, is among the naysayers. According to her, people who are confident, love themselves, know what they want, will not waste money on matchmaking services or an upgrade of a dating app. They can take advantage of free platforms and find their ideal lover. “You think paying for a premium service is the right thing to do, but you’re wrong. Because you will waste it being in a group of people who are struggling with love and dating,” Mansfield asserts. Instead of using a paid app, Mansfield advises: “Invest in yourself more like attending training courses, therapy to help us be in the best position. Then use the free versions of Tinder, Hinge or Bumble to find love.”

Those countries are Guinea, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau and Papua New Guinea, respectively. The leaders decided that the country would not have an official capital, since all territories were of equal importance. While the seat of government is in Bern, many other important buildings can be found scattered throughout the country. In the early 20s, two cities were selected to become the capital, Sydney and Melbourne.
