Amazon On “Prime Day” there is a strike

Status: 21.06.2021 1:11 p.m.

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

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

Group: No impact for customers

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

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

“Far from recognition and respect”

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

US President Joe Biden and his wife Jill on Thursday, June 10, met British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie in front of a hotel overlooking the Carbis Bay. While the two leaders were happily chatting, two ladies Jill and Carrie took off their shoes and went to the sea to play with baby Wilfred – the one-year-old son of the British Prime Minister. Ms. Jill is a teacher and “expert” in childcare, as she and Mr Biden have seven grandchildren between the ages of one and 27. Therefore, she played very comfortably with Carrie and baby Wilfred.

On the back of Mrs. Melania’s shirt is printed with the words: “I really don’t care, how about you?” Melania wore this shirt while visiting immigrant children in McAllen (Texas). Two jackets carry opposing messages. In a later interview, first lady Melania insisted that her message had been misinterpreted, because the audience she wanted to target was the “hawkish” media.

The first time I contacted Amazon was learning the “reverse work method” proposed by Bezos many years ago: first understand what the customer needs, and then reverse the operation. This theory runs through all aspects of Amazon’s business management.

Obviously, Amazon Overseas Shopping knows what kind of cross-border good products Chinese consumers need most, and this kind of demand connection must be more professional and pure cross-border e-commerce services, which accurately match the supply and demand logic.

Cross-border online shopping is becoming a standard configuration for new consumption. In recent years, we have seen that all major domestic e-commerce platforms have their own cross-border e-commerce sections. This explains at least two trends: First, under the dual-cycle pattern, domestic consumers’ demand for foreign goods is on the rise. Second, reliable cross-border online shopping channels are still scarce. The competition within this track is not simply a competition for “goods”, but is essentially a competition for comprehensive service capabilities of “localization + internationalization”.

Although the demand is real, an unquestionable reality is also in front of us: consumers’ cross-border online shopping behaviors prefer vertical cross-border e-commerce platforms. The international sector of integrated e-commerce platforms still has a long way to go.

It is precisely because of this that Amazon has captured a natural opportunity in the battlefield of domestic e-commerce giants in the battlefield of the pure global cross-border online shopping e-commerce platform for Amazon overseas purchase.

At 618 this year, domestic e-commerce companies are playing hard. Amazon chose to simultaneously open Prime Membership Day in 20 countries around the world in 621. This is also the 5th Prime Membership Day for Chinese buyers, with as low as 30% off and a 64-hour global cross-border online shopping scan for consumers to take over. 618’s baton, continue to buy, buy and buy.

Regardless of PK or relay, in fact, Prime Member Day does not directly compete with 618 and Double 11, because in many aspects, the unique logic of Amazon Prime Member Day is not the same as the latter two.

1

Differences in Prime Member Day

At first glance, Prime Member Day, 618, and Double 11 are all online shopping spree, but if you look closely, in fact, Prime Member Day is essentially different from 618 and Double 11.

First of all, the positioning of Prime Membership Day is different. It is a global e-commerce carnival with a larger scope and longer commodity circulation links, which can be understood as a staggering of N outer cycles. This is not difficult to understand. As a global cross-border e-commerce platform, Amazon’s supply chain logic is “sell the world globally.” In comparison, the focus of domestic e-commerce platforms is on the internal circulation, such as national trendy products, emerging brands, sinking markets, and so on.

Secondly, Prime Member Day has more cross-border online shopping games, more categories, and more fun from a global perspective. On the one hand, Amazon’s global supply chain advantage has its own exotic flavor, regardless of the source of goods, category, and brand have pure origin characteristics. On the other hand, it’s an old truth that things are precious. Prime member day starts on June 21 (China opens at 23:00 on June 20 due to time difference), which lasts for 64 hours, and offers a concentrated discount cross-border online shopping experience. It is bound to be more attractive to “grab”.

Prime member day itself also introduced more innovative gameplay. For example, it launched a unique global promotion synchronization technology, allowing consumers to enjoy the real-time cross-border online shopping experience of “same source, same inventory, and same discount” on the four major overseas sites in the United States, Britain, Japan, and Germany; the third-generation “smart size assistant” “, the granularity of size matching has been increased from “brand category” to “single selection”, bringing consumers an overseas shopping experience comparable to “real-life shopping guide”; in terms of product and promotional information recommendation, a customized information waterfall has been built Stream, use the deep convolutional neural network to accurately perceive user preferences, and integrate the information waterfall flow into discount information such as “Treasure of the Town”, “Seckill” and shopping theme recommendations.

Innovation brings a unique and differentiated experience. From an objective point of view, domestic consumers have passed 618, followed by 621, which complements the dual-cycle consumption pattern of “inner circulation + outer circulation”.

One more choice for new consumption

What is more worthy of discussion is actually this kind of value: Amazon’s overseas purchases give new consumers an additional choice.

The first is the shopping experience. The pure cross-border online shopping experience is different from domestic e-commerce shopping. In addition to the scene experience brought about by the above technological innovations, a more differentiated experience depends on Amazon’s insight into the characteristics of domestic consumers’ cross-border online shopping needs. As Li Yanchuan, vice president of Amazon China, said: “Facing the more diversified and personalized cross-border online shopping needs of Chinese Prime members, during this year’s membership day, we will provide more exclusive products and more value-added offers. And a more convenient shopping experience, bringing a fully upgraded Amazon Prime membership day online shopping feast.”

The second is the service innovation of Prime Member Day itself, which not only meets the new needs of consumers, but also reflects the evolution of Amazon’s overseas purchase service capabilities.

China’s Prime Membership Day will start at 23:00 on June 20th with Amazon Japan, and will end at 15:00 on June 23rd with Amazon America.

During these 64 hours, Chinese Prime members will have exclusive privileges for Prime members from Amazon’s four major overseas sites in the United States, Britain, Japan and Germany, as well as 21 customized surprise discounts specially created for Chinese consumers. Log in to z.cn/primeday or download the Amazon mobile app, or search for the WeChat applet of Amazon overseas purchases. New users can enjoy full discounts and participate in the global carnival of Amazon Prime Member Day.

At the same time, China’s Prime members’ cross-border free shipping rights have been continuously upgraded. Prime members can enjoy unlimited cross-border free postal services with zero threshold. Non-Prime member users can enjoy cross-border free postal services with a single order of 300 yuan or more. In addition, relying on Amazon’s world-leading mature logistics system and the innovative layout of cross-border front warehouses, it has now supported the fastest 3 working days of service in some cities across the country during the membership day. During the Prime Membership Day in 2020, it set a record for the fastest cross-border logistics distribution that took only 1.7 working days.

This logistics delivery speed not only kills many overseas market logistics services, but also matches the domestic speed, which means that Amazon China has established a deep business advantage with “global supply chain + localized services in China”.

Finally, the essence of new consumption lies in “new”, new experience, new link, and new hope. Amazon’s overseas purchases have made the competition for new consumption one more choice. This is a differentiated competition. It may be a dimensionality reduction in service capabilities, or it may not, but it is not the same.

For the new consumer demand of “diversified and individualized”, “different” itself is the most important value.

Amazon has launched a Prime membership service tailored specifically for Chinese consumers in China. It is also Amazon’s first global membership service that supports unlimited free delivery of cross-border orders throughout the year. In addition to Prime member day and cross-border free shipping rights, Prime members in China also enjoy a series of member exclusive rights such as Prime Wednesday member day, member exclusive discounts, and accelerated delivery.

A different Amazon China brings a different cross-border shopping experience to Chinese consumers. This is the obvious value.

The imagination behind this value lies in the fact that when “service capabilities” are constantly localized, such as express delivery becoming more and more timely, Amazon China Prime Membership Day may really become a new pole beyond 618 and 11.11.

We say that the successful model has the possibility of unlimited replication, and this kind of localized super service capability based on the global supply chain is also possible. This means that this model is very likely to be replicated indefinitely on the membership days of countries around the world. Come true, Prime Member Day will be the only cross-border online shopping at this level of global vision.

British Prime Minister Boris rarely shows affection. On June 14th local time, he released a back photo with his newlyweds Kelly on the beach. The new British first lady Kelly, this time mixed the sense of maturity with the sense of girlhood. Her fashion potential has surpassed Princess Kate of the British royal family.

Britain’s new first lady rents clothes

Kelly spent thousands of dollars to get all her looks at the G7 summit. Yes, her clothes are rented from the website. Such an alternative fashion presentation is admirable.

And Kelly also passed this sense of fashion to her more than one-year-old son. The sons of Boris and Kelly became the most eye-catching celebrities at the G7 summit.

The 1-year-old son appeared twice at the G7 summit and became the focus of everyone’s attention. Kelly put on a blue floral dress, which fully demonstrated her new motherhood, but she was still very girlish. The look of the son is cool. The style of shirt and shorts is actually very similar to that of the little princes of the British royal family. Iconic outfits like Prince George or Prince Louis are the most common.

The best “single product” for his 1-year-old son Chengwa

The “golden hair” hairstyle of Kelly’s son is really the same style as Boris, so the ladies’ fashion competition, in front of Boris’s son’s unruly hairstyle, instantly inferior.

Although he appeared twice, he still protected the children and did not show his face. But such a naive look really steals the limelight of the royal family’s Three Treasures.

Whether it is Brigitte, the first lady of France or the first lady of the United States, they are all at the age of being a grandmother. Seeing such a child, I can’t help but like it! The appearance of the son is exactly the trick of the new British first lady, and the image of the hot mom is instantly revealed.

Kelly’s red dress is her first look at the G7 summit, and the appearance of this style makes people feel the monotony of professional wear. When his 1-year-old son appeared, the most eye-catching thing was still his blond hair. For the little princes of the British royal family, hair is really an inevitable disaster. Princes cannot escape baldness when they reach a certain age. And Boris and his son’s hair volume is really enviable!

After Kelly became a mother, the pictures of her son were profile or back, but since participating in this G7 summit, she has instantly become a little star. Originally, everyone’s attention was still on the three treasures of the royal family, especially the cutest Prince Louis.

Three treasures of the royal family were robbed of the limelight

Prince Louis usually wears simple clothes, a shirt with shorts, and the little prince’s hairstyle is not as cool as that of Boris’ son. He can only admire the importance of genetics.

The new British first lady’s fashion sense is obvious to all

Boris’ son has participated in the G7 summit since he was a child and has been liked by so many first ladies. And Kelly also made her image fuller through such an alternative way, which made people ignore her 33-year-old age.

Kelly’s dressing style is no longer limited to floral skirts. Although floral skirts are her favorite, a complete set of professional suits has gradually become her favorite.

British Prime Minister’s 1-year-old son is handsome as a star! “Golden Retriever” hairstyle is super cool, steals the limelight of the royal family’s three treasures

Thai people get vaccinated against Covid-19 at Bang Sue Station in Bangkok. (Photo by Bangkok Post Office) On June 15, Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha apologized to the people for delays in the nationwide Covid-19 vaccination program and said there were many reasons for the delay. this late. The Bangkok Post quoted Prayut as saying that the Thai government only received small batches of vaccines, not large batches at the same time. At the same time, vaccine shortages and delay in vaccination schedules only occur at vaccination sites with high vaccination capacity and have used up allotted vaccines. According to Prayut, the distribution of Covid-19 vaccines cannot be done quickly, and the production and quality control of vaccines are very time consuming. Many other countries in the world also have this problem. In addition, Thailand’s vaccination program was also adjusted to speed up the vaccination of high-risk groups in epidemic areas, thereby controlling the epidemic and protecting the activities of health workers. machine. This also affects some people who have previously registered for the Covid-19 vaccine. In addition, the vaccination process also involves many agencies and organizations, and misunderstandings can occur in the immunization coordination process. Prayut said those who had already registered for the vaccine but had their appointment rescheduled would not have to re-register and their registration would remain valid. He said: “As the Prime Minister and Director of the Thai Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA), I am the commander-in-chief of the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic in Thailand. I apologize for the problems that have occurred and I will take full responsibility.” Prayut said the government has distributed 7 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine to provinces across the country and so far 6.5 million doses have been administered to people. He affirmed that he also closely follows information about vaccinations and does his best to solve problems that arise. “We will find ways to solve the problems to ensure the maximum benefit for the people and reduce their anxiety,” he said. The Thai government has now ordered 100 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine to immunize about 50 million people, or 70% of the country’s population, this year. Prayut confirmed that Thailand will order more vaccines to be able to increase the number of people vaccinated to 80 to 90% of the population next year.

On June 13, the media reported an interesting moment at the recent G7 summit. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was accidentally “attacked” on the beach while attending the summit. A seagull flew near the British Prime Minister Johnson, and then dropped the excrement accurately, which happened to fall on Johnson’s shoulder. Johnson panicked, and quickly looked down at his clothes. This detail was forwarded by the international media one after another, and the picture was full of sense. It became a big anecdote at the G7 summit.

After Johnson was hit by seagull guano, in order to make things more interesting, many foreign netizens used P-picture technology to put a lot of white guano on Prime Minister Johnson’s suit, plus his flowing hairstyle. People laugh and cry. Although the P pictures of foreign netizens are not true, they describe the matter very vividly. At the G7 summit, Johnson became the focus of media from all over the world. On the one hand, because the United Kingdom is the host, on the other hand, there were serious differences between the United Kingdom and the European Union over the trade issue of Northern Ireland.

Since the UK has initiated the Brexit procedure in the past few years, the UK and the EU have been negotiating for several years around the specific implementation of Brexit, and most of the controversial issues have been resolved. But on the issue of the Brexit trade agreement in Northern Ireland, serious differences have occurred between the UK and the EU. German Chancellor Merkel and French President Macron held one-on-one talks with Johnson in order to persuade Britain to agree to the EU’s plan, but the conversation between the two parties was not pleasant.

Merkel and Macron suggested that Johnson implement the relevant provisions on Northern Ireland in accordance with the provisions of the Brexit agreement. But Johnson insisted that these clauses violated British principles and harmed Britain’s economic interests. European Union countries such as Germany and France immediately proposed that if the United Kingdom refuses to implement the Brexit trade terms for Northern Ireland, the European Union will consider launching a trade war against the United Kingdom, imposing economic sanctions on London, and imposing high tariffs on British exports to the EU , And canceled part of the economic cooperation agreement reached between the EU and the UK last year.

The EU’s statement obviously has a somewhat threatening taste to the United Kingdom, which is unacceptable to President Johnson, who has always had a strong personality. He said that the EU must make concessions, otherwise, the UK will overturn important parts of the terms of the previous negotiations between the two parties and bring the entire Brexit agreement into a new deadlock. Johnson went to meet with Biden as soon as he had finished fighting with Merkel Macron. During the two talks, Johnson said that it was inappropriate for Britain to take an excessively burdensome approach to trade issues in Northern Ireland after Brexit.

At the same time, British Foreign Secretary Raab also stated that the EU should be more flexible and pragmatic when implementing the Brexit agreement. The implication is that the EU’s ideas are too subjective and have fallen outside the scope of feasible. Obviously, a big problem has arisen between the UK and the EU around the detailed rules of Brexit. If coupled with the previous disputes between Britain and France over island fishing rights, the French side threatened to cut off the electricity supply to the British islands and countered Britain’s deportation of French fishermen. Britain hopes to revitalize the British economy and reshape Britain’s status through Brexit. It now appears that Johnson was not only smashed by bird droppings, but also in great trouble.

Amazon has acquired Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM), a long-standing Hollywood studio. Amazon has reached an agreement to own movie studio MGM for $8.45 billion, the company announced on May 26. This is considered a significant step forward for the e-commerce giant when Amazon will add to the available content store about 4,000 titles and 17,000 hours of TV series. The deal helps Amazon attract more Prime users, in order to compete fairly with rivals that own a diverse stock of original movies like Netflix or Disney Plus. MGM is the Hollywood studio behind hit franchises like James Bond and Rocky, but also modern adult series like The Handmaid’s Tale and Vikings. In addition, this studio also owns popular TV shows such as The Voice (Vietnamese Voice) and Shark Tank (Billion Billion Deal). However, the most famous and best known by Vietnamese people is the animated series Tom and Jerry. “The real financial value behind this deal is the IP treasure (copyright) that we plan to renew and grow with the talented team of MGM,” said Mike Hopkins, vice president. in charge of Prime Video and Amazon Studios said. Amazon’s television business is still only a very small slice of an e-commerce empire worth $ 1,650 billion. However, to date, there are more than 200 million subscribers to use Amazon Prime monthly service, with a service fee of 5.99 USD/month. News of Amazon’s acquisition of Hollywood’s 97-year-old studio emerged in mid-May. On May 24, the Wall Street Journal revealed that Amazon was very close to a deal to acquire MGM. MGM is owned by a group of investment funds including Anchorage Capital Group, Highland Capital Management, and Solus Alternative Asset Management. Reports about investors wanting to sell MGM to recover capital have surfaced since the end of December 2020. Currently, Hollywood film studios are in a fierce race to fight against the powerful forces of the day like Netflix or Disney. Last week, telecommunications giant AT&T also planned to merge WarnerMedia with Discovery to create the world’s second-largest media giant, after Disney mouse house. At that time, AT&T ambitiously merged HBO Max and Discovery Plus to create a video-on-demand service with a rich content store that could beat the competition. Phuong Nguyen (according to TheVerge)

first. One night in the mid 90s, Ngoc Lan and I sang a dance show together. The young audience was very crowded, they surrounded the stage, packed the dance floor. The atmosphere was very excited with loud laughter and cheers. At that time, the young singers we used to sing New wave music – songs imported from England, were loved by young audiences. And, there was a strange girl coming onto the stage. She wears a blue dress, with a deep open neck, a tight waist-length blouse with a thin, layered, and short skirt on her knees. The green shirt is very beautiful, luxurious and youthful. The shirt shows off the girl’s full bust, small waist and delicate long legs. It was a new singer, very young, about 20 years old. Nhat Ha and Kim Ngan share the album cover. She stepped onto the stage when a “storm” broke out! She shrugged and said a few words aloud: How are you ?; Let’s have some fun; Alright; … And boos and applause broke the auditorium. Big, strong, rushing music. She shakes her shoulder-length curly hair, bouncing to the music. Not yet singing, she just shouted Are you ready? as the crowd frantically shouted in response: Yes … Yeah! like a roaring wave. That young girl is singer Kim Ngan. I still remember the image of Ngan at that time. Ngan is so fresh and charming! Obviously the sexy beauty of Ngan has … suppressed Ngoc Lan’s gentle image and blurred me. Sitting in the wings watching Ngan dancing, singing with the passionate crowd, overflowing the stage, surrounded her. Ngoc Lan and I feel very interesting. Back then and until we got close, I never seemed to be jealous of Kim Ngan. Although Kim Ngan and I sing young music together, appear a lot on the tape and disc covers … I love Kim Ngan, because Kim Ngan is so beautiful and cute! 2. At that time, Kim Ngan, about 24-25 years old, was the owner of the Kim Ngan music tape center, with beautiful and fiery cassette covers under the lens of photographer Tran Dinh Thuc. I am the owner of Nhat Ha Productions and Melody Center, specializing in producing tapes, discs and music videos. Kim Ngan Center only produces music tapes but my center also does music videos. And I invited Kim Ngan to record for my video, which is also quite rare for two rival centers. At that time, Ngan was brilliantly beautiful, but she was not invited by any center to take a video. Perhaps, they don’t want to promote their commercial competitors. I love my beautiful friend and want to film Kim Ngan a cute MV. I find you discreet and elegant dresses, sew white clothes for the child actors and take Kim Ngan and the children up a romantic hill to film the MV. Pink love step . The image of Kim Ngan playing with a group of children in white shirt is innocent and cute. Different from a normal fiery Kim Ngan. Kim Ngan in the MV “Pink Love Step”. I like beautiful people! Like the elegant figure, like Kim Ngan’s sexy cherished lips. And Kim Ngan became a singer at Nhat Ha Center. After that, Ngan also became a bride at my wedding that day, beside another bride – my best friend: famous singer Ngoc Lan. One day, in the music industry talking to each other that the Kim Ngan Music Center was closed. Singers talk about Kim Ngan no longer going on stage … 3. Around 2003, a very sunny afternoon in Bolsa, I met a familiar figure. Looking behind the slender figure, thin shoulders, straight back and gentle steps. The girl in a blue dress I cannot forget even for many years. Without looking at my face, I knew it was Kim Ngan. Kim Ngan wore an impressive green dress, but now, the dress is old, dirty and dirty. The shirt is too fussy and cumbersome for a sunny afternoon on the street. She also wore jeans inside, so it looked weird. I followed her, called her name, and Kim Ngan turned around. Kim Ngan glad to see me … We went to a lunch shop to talk to each other. Although I know that Kim Ngan has been wandering, dust for a long time, but seeing me again, I still feel extremely sad. My dear friend, how was it so bad? … Kim Ngan present. Kim Ngan has two beautiful grown daughters. Kim Ngan has a mother, still healthy, still around here. Kim Ngan has a family who has begged Kim Ngan many times. Even our artists do some shows, earn money to rent a room for the whole year for Kim Ngan, but Kim Ngan doesn’t come home. Kim Ngan is still wandering, dusty on the street. Kim Ngan chatted in a normally sober and at a dumb moment. Kim Ngan remembers everything, and Kim Ngan forgot all … Thinking about Kim Ngan, I thought of Mr. Bui Giang. One side is talented intellectuals. One side is the great beauty.

Putting a potted plant in the living room helps the living space become more fresh, helping to bring more oxygen. However, not all feng shui plants are suitable for placing in the living room.

Besides, you also need to choose the tree that suits your destiny. 2. Indoor columns Ancient Chinese science held that columns were the factors that generate negative energy. The pillars in the house will not be good for the homeowner’s career no matter where that column is located. To neutralize evil air is not difficult, you just need to place a pot of ivy or shrub in front of the column. This way is both simple but also helps decorate the space more beautiful. 3 bedrooms Many people like to put plants in their bedroom but this is absolutely not recommended. At night, ornamental plants release carbon dioxide instead of oxygen. Meanwhile, humans need oxygen to breathe. If you go to bed in a room with many bonsai, it will be difficult to get a good night’s sleep due to lack of oxygen. Therefore, placing ornamental plants in the bedroom is not only bad for feng shui but also harmful to health. So in the bedroom it is best not to put any plants. 4. Kitchen room Feng shui thinks that the kitchen is where money flows in, so placing bonsai in the kitchen will create positive energy. Placing a high pot of bonsai in the corner of the kitchen is not only good for feng shui, but also helps purify the kitchen air – where there is a lot of grease. 5. Desk To maintain positive and good energy indoors, place your plants in the places where you value most, represent you and support you best. The desk is one of the most suitable positions. Put a pot of feng shui feng shui on the desk to help your work always be happy, career goes up. Take care of them healthy, everything will go well. According to the Reporter

The content of the work revolves around epidemic control issues in the new situation, strict control of people entering illegally, the situation of isolated areas and vaccination in Ho Chi Minh City. Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Chairman Nguyen Thanh Phong said that in the past month, there were 108 cases of illegal entry in the city. The city has issued a letter to coordinate with localities that have border lines bordering other countries on this issue. The city proposes to direct border provinces to increase control over people who enter illegally. Reporters watched the meeting chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister via the camera of the press room City leaders also expressed the desire of the city to increase coverage of Covid-19 vaccine for the entire population. The city reports that the Government will actively purchase vaccines by itself. There is a company in the city in the process of researching, testing and producing vaccines. In a special case, the city will consider this production because it is a problem for the city. Currently, Vietnam Fatherland Front of Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City has mobilized nearly 150 billion VND to buy vaccines for the entire population. Deputy Prime Minister Vu Dac Dam assessed that Ho Chi Minh City is a great center. Over the past time, there have been many good and creative ways to give lessons to the whole country in the recent epidemics. Over a long time, no community infection appeared, so everyone’s mentality was subjective, began to loosen the epidemic prevention.

Strengthen control over people entering the border area illegally. Strictly handle the case of illegal entry, intentionally not making a declaration. “The number of cases in some Asian countries has recently increased 34% and our neighboring countries have also increased. The number of people crossing the border illegally through the tracks, the opening is difficult to control. Covid-19 will leave unpredictable consequences “- The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

In the second year of Xining (1069), Song Shenzong appointed Wang Anshi as a member of the governor (equivalent to deputy prime minister), and Wang Anshi began to rank among the ruling authorities.

Wang Anshi proposed that the most urgent task is to change customs, establish laws, and propose reforms. Song Shenzong deeply agreed.

In the third year of Xining (1070), Wang Anshi served as the secretary of the Tongzhong School of Ping Zhang, and was the same prime minister. As a result, he promoted the new law nationwide and began a large-scale reform movement.

The new law implemented by Wang Anshi includes the equalization law, the young crop law, the city trade law, the exemption law, the square land tax law, and the farmland water conservancy law; in the military field, there are the placement law, the Baojia law, and the horse protection law.

The purpose of Wang Anshi’s reform was to enrich the country and strengthen the army, so as to reverse the situation of poverty and weakness in the late Northern Song Dynasty. However, Wang Anshi’s reform violated the interests of the conservatives and was firmly opposed by conservatives represented by Sima Guang.

Less than a year after the promulgation of the new law, the two factions supporting and opposing the reform began fierce debates and struggles.

What both parties did not expect was that the ultimate cause of Wang Anshi’s failure in the reform was a small official who was once optimistic about Wang Anshi, but was a stranger because of the reform. This small person is Zheng Xia.

Zheng Xia (1041-1119), named Jiefu, was born in Fuqing, Fuzhou (now Fujian). He was a scholar of Song Yingzong in the fourth year of the rule of Ping (1067). “.

Zheng Xia’s father, Zheng Hui, served as the liquor tax supervisor of Jiangning (now Nanjing City). He was determined to study in his father’s place, and learned hard to become famous. When Wang Anshi was the prefect of Jiangning, he was told that Zheng Xia was outstanding in talent, and he attached great importance to him. Not only did he invite him to meet and offer condolences and comfort, he also encouraged him to become a good scholar of the country.

In the 4th year of Zhiping (1067), the 27-year-old Zheng Xia was a Jinshi and the first, and was awarded a general as a Lang, secretary of the provincial school.

In the second year of Xining (1069), when Wang Anshi implemented the reform, he promoted Zheng Xia to join the army in Gwangju (now Huangchuan County, Henan Province), and was in charge of civil and criminal cases in Gwangju. All suspicious cases in Gwangju were clearly reported upon trial by Zheng Xia. Wang Anshi gave all replies in accordance with Zheng Xia’s requirements.

Zheng Xia gratefully regards Wang Anshi as a confidant, and is determined to do his best to serve the country and the people, know everything without saying anything, and repay Wang Anshi’s kindness.

In the five years of Xining (1072), Zheng Xia’s three-year term expired, and he met Wang Anshi when he entered Beijing to report on his duties. Zheng Xia witnessed the shortcomings of the new law among the people. He directly reported that Wang Anshi’s Young Miao Law, the Immunity Law, the Baojia Law and other new laws caused harm to the people during the implementation process.

Wang Anshi was very disappointed with Zheng Xia, who he had been supporting all the time. The two of them didn’t say a lot of speculation. After Zheng Xia left, they stopped seeing him, but they still sent letters to Wang Anshi repeatedly, stating the harm the new law had caused to the people. I hope he will change his course.

The political divergence caused Wang Anshi to turn his eyes on Zheng Xia from blue eyes to white eyes. Not only did Zheng Xia fail to get the promotion he deserved, he was instead relegated to being the guardian of the capital.

From the sixth year of Xining (1073) to March of the following year, there was a major drought in Hebei and Henan. There was no rain for ten consecutive months. It was often the wind and the sand flying, the sky was dark, and the land was thousands of miles away. The people don’t make a living.

Officials in various places are still urging the victims to return the principal and interest of the loans provided by the Young Crop Law. A large number of victims can only feed their hunger with grassroots and trees, and they have to be locked and tortured to pay off the official money. The hungry people support the elderly. Young, there is no end to the way of escape.

In March of the seventh year of Xining (1074), Zheng Xia knew that Wang Anshi could no longer listen to adversarial advice. He drew the plight of the refugees who helped the old and the young, as a picture, and wrote: “The minister would like to draw a picture from what he has seen day by day, but he can already weep through his eyes. And there is nothing worse than that!”

When Song Shenzong saw the comic drawing of “The Refugee” of the hungry people displaced, he sighed and read the picture repeatedly. Although he didn’t say anything, he “cannot sleep at night” at night.

At the same time, Song Shenzong’s grandmother Cao and the mother empress Gao were crying in front of Song Shenzong, saying that the world was messed up by Wang Anshi, and begging Song Shenzong to stop the new law.

In April, Song Shenzong also became suspicious of the reform, so he dismissed Wang Anshi from the post of prime minister and was changed to Guanwendian University Scholar and Zhijiangning Mansion. Wang Anshi left the capital and went to Jiangning Mansion for training.

In February of the eighth year of Xining (1075), Song Shenzong recalled Wang Anshi back to the capital to be prime minister. However, just a few months later, a comet appeared in the sky. This was a normal phenomenon, but at the time it was considered an omen.

In the court, some conservative ministers took the opportunity to attack the new law. Although Wang Anshi tried his best to defend the new law, Song Shenzong still hesitated.

After Wang Anshi’s restoration, he could not get more support. In addition, the internal division of the reformists was serious, and it was difficult for the new law to continue to be implemented. In the spring of the following year, Wang Anshi resigned as the prime minister again and completely returned to Jiangning Mansion for retirement.

In the eighth year of Yuanfeng (1085), Song Shenzong died, Song Zhezong ascended to the throne, and the Yuan was changed to “Yuanyou”. Was abolished.

In this way, a natural disaster produced a cartoon, and the prime minister who advocated reform was dismissed from office.

A total of six new candidates are required to go through congressional confirmation hearings, though lawmakers do not have the power to prevent them from taking office early if the president pressures them ahead of the appointment. official.

According to Reuters, the reform comes about a week after the ruling Democrats failed heavily in mayoral elections in key constituencies. In addition, the Korean government is also under pressure from public opinion because of political scandals and mistakes in economic policies.

According to South Korean Presidential Chief of Staff You Young-min, the new Prime Minister Kim Boo-kyum, who served as mayor of Daegu, is expected to play an important role in bridging political differences. between the two Koreas, and effectively directing efforts to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic.

Meanwhile, senior finance official Noh Hyeong-ouk will replace Mr. Byeon Chang-heum as Korea’s Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. Mr. Byeon Chang-heum was previously forced to resign for allegedly directing employees of a real estate company to use inside information to profit from city development projects.

Moon Sung-wook, who was nominated as the new Korean Minister of Industry, is a man with many years of experience shaping domestic corporate policies. With the new position, he will realize the president’s efforts to attract investment, create jobs, and strengthen cooperation between the chip and automobile sectors to localize the industry. manufacturing chips for cars.

Mr. Zhao also emphasized that “the ocean is not the trash of Japan”. The same message he posted on Twitter personally.

Zhao’s statement came after the Japanese government approved a project to discharge 1.25 million tons of treated wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the sea.

Earlier, on April 13, Japanese Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso said in a press conference that “there will be no harm” when drinking treated water, and he said that Japan should drain water sooner. .

The Chinese spokesman also mentioned Minamata disease, saying Japan “should not forget the historic tragedy” and urged Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga not to discharge wastewater into the sea without the consent of other countries.

Miamata disease is a neurological disease that has killed nearly 2,000 Japanese people, and is caused by a Japanese company discharging methyl mercury waste into the environment.

According to the plan, Japan will discharge wastewater into the sea within the next two years. The government said wastewater was treated and diluted to meet World Health Organization (WHO) drinking water standards. However, treatment cannot remove tritium – a radioactive isotope of hydrogen.

Although Japan’s decision to discharge wastewater was approved by the United States and the IAEA, it faced opposition from the country’s fishing industry and neighboring countries. The Chinese spokesperson stated that Japan must reach a consensus of all concerned before proceeding with the discharge.

Mr. Zhao also warned: “China has the right to make follow-up reactions.”

President Moon Jae-in’s selection of this figure in a reform of his cabinet seems to be aimed at giving new momentum to his leadership, which has been affected by the ruling Democrats’ defeat in the Mayor election Seoul and Busan on April 7.

If approved by the Korean National Assembly, Mr. Kim Boo-kyum will replace Mr. Chung Sye-kyun, who has resigned after 15 months in this position. Chung is expected to participate in the presidential election of South Korea next year.

Mr. Kim held the position of Interior Minister from 2017-2019 and ran for MP in Daegu city, 302 km southeast of Seoul, as a candidate for the ruling party.

Mr. Kim was born in 1958 in Sangju town, North Gyeongsang province, the stronghold of the main opposition People’s Power Party (PPP).

Political observers see President Moon’s choice of Mr. Kim as a political message towards national unity.

Both Mr. Chung and Mr. Lee Nak-yon, the first Prime Minister in the Moon administration, are from Jeolla Province, the southwestern province, the longstanding power base of the Democratic Party.

The State invests and the allocation of resources for management and maintenance of real estate assets.

From 1955 to now, VNR is the only 100% state-owned enterprise established by the State with the purpose of assigning the management, exploitation, use and direct trading of all railway infrastructure assets. (KCHTĐS) in the form of excluding capital components in the enterprise.

VNR leaders said that with 3,143 km of railways going through 34 provinces and cities, in the absence of funding for the management of real estate assets, VNR has organized an asset management system from the General level. companies to member units and joint stock companies with dominant capital contribution.

Along with that, according to Mr. Vu Anh Minh, problems with funding for the maintenance of national real estate infrastructure in 2021 have not been resolved according to the direction of the Prime Minister, 20 companies perform the task of system maintenance. The national real estate infrastructure currently does not have the budget to buy materials to put into the project, regular expenses and especially to pay employees in the first 4 months of 2021, seriously affecting the lives of nearly 25,000 workers in the VNR. .

“The high risk is that 11,315 workers on the road patrol, bridge week, tunnel patrol, guarding the crossroads … will quit their jobs because they have no income. This issue has pushed businesses to the end, difficult to sustain. until the end of April 2021 “- President of VNR stated in the petition.

In particular, it is still proposed a mechanism to assign cost estimates for maintenance to the Vietnam Railway Administration (the agency only performs the advisory function under the Ministry of Transport and does not manage the assets of the real estate infrastructure).

“The proposal of the Ministry of Transport in the Project not only fails to overcome difficulties and problems in production and business activities, but also causes a lot of stagnation and congestion for VNR, pushing businesses to the risk of bankruptcy. , the risk of eliminating railway transport in the transportation system “- VNR leader said.

According to the VNR leader, in order to manage and maintain the assets of the national real estate infrastructure, VNR must organize a comprehensive and coherent human resources system from the parent company to the base units along the railway lines with a total of 11,315 employees were employed, including: 1,241 workers in bridge, road, and tunnel patrol; 915 indirect workers; 6,278 workers perform maintenance and quality control of maintenance work and 2,881 workers guarding the crossroads to ensure safe train operation.

Meanwhile, at present, the organizational apparatus of the Vietnam Railways Administration has only over 100 staff members (most of them are officers of the railway office and the railway traffic safety inspection force), so if the plan is implemented according to the Project, the Ministry As proposed by transportation, VNR still has to fully allocate the above 11,315 human resources to perform the tasks of asset management and the maintenance of national railway infrastructure assets.

“VNR will become an intermediary agency to delay, cause congestion in the process of maintenance and operation of transportation, directly affecting train safety” – VNR leader explained.

Based on the provisions of relevant laws, international experience and especially the practice of managing and operating operations, VNR believes that the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister have chaired meetings with Ministries many times. , departments to analyze the legal basis and have the conclusions and announcements. The Ministry of Justice also appraised the legality in Document No. 193 / BTP-PLDSKT dated January 22, 2021, which confirmed that the delivery of KCHTDS assets and cost estimate for maintenance to VNR Corporation is correct. current laws (including the State Budget Law).

From the above explanations, the Chairman of the Board of Members of VNR sincerely proposes to the Government, the Prime Minister to: Direct the Ministry of Transport to seriously, fully implement the direction of the Prime Minister in the document. 1956 / VPCP-CN dated March 24, 2021 on the management, use and exploitation of national real estate assets.
