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.

According to Feng Shui Chinh Phai, the following are 4 types of flowers that are “difficult to attract fortune”, some even attract negative energy, which should not be worshiped at the altar of the God of Fortune. The incense flower offering is one of the essential items to offer to the altar to show respect and sincerity of the owner. However, for each type of altar, homeowners also need to pay attention to choosing the right flowers, both to increase the fulfillment when praying and to avoid breaking the rules and breaking the spiritual place. According to feng shui feng shui, here are 4 types of flowers that are “difficult to attract fortune”, some even lead to negative energy that should not be worshiped at the altar of God of Fortune: Chrysanthemum flower Chrysanthemum is a very popular flower, meaning auspicious longevity, very popular with Vietnamese people for spiritual worship. However, chrysanthemums also have the meaning of nostalgia for the past, so they are more suitable for worshiping ancestors. Besides, chrysanthemum is also used in many different events, so it is not suitable to place it in the altar of the God of Wealth, which is a place for the owner to ask for fortune and peace. Jasmine Jasmine flowers are also used for sound and burial purposes, so they are absolutely not used to burn incense to the God of Fortune. It means unlucky, fortune fortune goes down markedly. Moreover, jasmine has an attractive scent to snakes, when these species come to the altar, it also makes the family insecure. Fake plastic flowers Flowers in worship also mean offering good and good things and expressing gratitude and respect of the owner to the god. Using fake plastic flowers makes no sense and even disturbs the air field at the place of worship. Feng shui expert Phung Phuong has emphasized many times that the use of plastic items on the altar not only does not bring positive energy or any effect on feng shui, but also causes the accumulation of negative energy, attracting evil spirits to the family. more insecure, encounter many bad things. Withered flowers for a long time do not change If you leave the flowers for too long, the flowers will wither, wither, become ugly and have an unpleasant odor. This will lose the solemnity, offend the spiritual level. In feng shui, things that are not good are no longer alive and do not bring good energy, which directly affects the fortune of the altar. Besides, homeowners also need to avoid worshiping flowers such as hibiscus, buttons, etc., because they inherently have unsightly names and inappropriate meanings for worshiping in dignified places. At the altar of the God of Fortune, you can refer to offering flowers with cheerful and lucky colors and meanings such as gerbera, roses, lilies, tulips, heather… * Information for reference and contemplation.

Private wealth at a record high Especially the super-rich get richer

Status: 10.06.2021 8:34 a.m.

Never before have people worldwide amassed so much private wealth as in the Corona year 2020. The wealth of Germans alone climbed – thanks to savings and real estate – to almost 20 trillion dollars. 20,000,000,000,000 dollars – this is the impressive sum of private wealth that private households in Germany had at their disposal in 2020. This emerges from the new “Global Wealth Report” by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG).

Better real estate than stocks

The Germans were helped by their much-cited propensity to save: financial assets, including cash, account balances, stocks, pensions and life insurance, grew by around six percent to around nine trillion dollars, according to the information. Investors in Germany saved above average, emphasized Anna Zakrzewski, BCG partner and author of the study. “Traditionally, Germans prefer to invest in real estate rather than in securities, as the real value quota of almost 60 percent clearly shows,” says the BCG expert. In the crisis year 2020, the real assets of Germans, i.e. real estate, jewelry, art and gold, increased by five percent to 13 trillion dollars. After deducting debts, private households in Germany had a total of just under $ 20 trillion.

Rising stock market prices, growing savings

The developments in Germany are a reflection of a global trend: people around the globe accumulated more wealth than ever in the year of the Corona crisis. Private financial assets rose year-on-year by a good eight percent to a record $ 250 trillion. Rising stock exchange prices and growing savings contributed to this. The BCG experts were surprised, as they expected a year ago that private assets would melt as a result of the corona pandemic. For the first time in 2020, the BCG experts will also consider property such as real estate or gold. Total assets minus debt was $ 431 trillion.

2900 super-rich in Germany

However, wealth is unevenly distributed. Above all, the club of the rich and super-rich grew strongly. The super rich – these are people with a net worth of more than $ 100 million. In the crisis year 2020, 6000 more people were accepted into the club of the super-rich, the number of members grew to 60,000. According to the BCG, these 60,000 people own 15 percent of the world’s investable wealth. In Germany alone there are 2,900 super-rich. This puts the Federal Republic of Germany in third place in the global ranking. The USA is at the top, followed by China.

Getting richer?

Against the background of the expected economic recovery after the Corona crisis, BCG expects steady growth in global private wealth for the coming years. By 2025, it should grow by an average of just under five percent annually to $ 544 trillion. Global inequalities are likely to increase further: According to the BCG forecast, people in North America, Asia excluding Japan and Western Europe in particular will get richer.

In yesterday’s news, Dong Huahua said, “Before it rains, I went to my friend’s farm to pick some bayberry. Bayberry that has been soaked in the rain is not delicious. The tree is red and the ripe bayberry has dropped all over the place. Picking while eating, my teeth and stomach feel a little uncomfortable right now. It turns out that wearing white clothes is not suitable for picking bayberry.”

And in the picture. Dong Huahua gave a close-up of her shoes this time. Dong Huahua was wearing a pair of colorful sneakers this time. After picking bayberry, there was a lot of bayberry juice on the soles of her shoes, which made the shoes look a little dirty. Just by looking at the style of this shoe, you can know that this pair of shoes must be very valuable.

On the second day after picking the bayberry, the virtuous Dong Huahua made the remaining bayberry into a bayberry drink and frozen it in the refrigerator. The exquisite cups and red bayberry juice, coupled with Dong Huahua’s wonderful shooting angle, I just look at the pictures taken by Dong Huahua, I feel that this delicacy must be very delicious. have to say,

As a lady, Dong Huahua is really ingenious. It seems that this is the benefit of being a noblewoman. She usually eats, drinks, plays, and has fun, and can enrich her spiritual world while having a career. Compared with Dong Huahua, whose life is so exquisite, Zhang Dayi is much simpler.

You can see in some of the photos published by Zhang Dayi that now Zhang Dayi’s dressing style is really more and more simple and money-saving. A simple white T-shirt, plus long pink pants, even Zhang Dayi replaced his shoes with cheap and durable white canvas shoes. If you look closely, you will find that this pair of canvas shoes is the most common style in daily life. Its advantage is that it is versatile and cheap, and you can throw it away if you wear it out.

Compared with Dong Huahua’s thousands of shoes, Zhang Dayi’s current life philosophy is really becoming more and more in the direction of living at home as a daughter-in-law. Although Zhang Dayi has now put on cheap and durable domestic canvas shoes, but in some photos, Zhang Dayi still has an extraordinary temperament.

Buddhas rely on gold clothes and people want clothes. This is true, but sometimes, whether you wear clothes of thousands or hundreds of dollars, you still have to rely on your own temperament and charm to support it. I don’t know what you think of the comparison between Zhang Dayi and Dong Huahua today. Welcome to leave your own opinions in the comment area.

As an endangered species in the wild, the import and trade of Asian arowanas in the US is illegal. But in other parts of the world, arowanas are a highly sought after luxury item and completely legal. They are prized by Yakuza gang members in Japan, business magnates in China, and fish collectors in Europe. A single primitive specimen can be more expensive than a Ferrari. From a swamp creature to a luxury item Asian Arowana. For centuries, Asian arowana has been a popular folk dish of Southeast Asians. Outside of local markets in Malaysia, this fish is neither widely traded nor favored. But everything changed in 1975. As wetland habitats in Southeast Asia decline, Asian arowanas begin to decline in numbers. CITES, a treaty restricting trade in endangered wildlife species, has classified the Asian arowana as threatened. This move aims to ban the trade of arowanas for commercial purposes. But according to Emily Voigt, who has spent nearly a decade delving into the story of the Asian arowana for her book, The Dragon Behind the Glass, “That official endorsement is completely counterproductive. It really turned the fish into a limited edition luxury item.” Smugglers in Malaysia began to smuggle Asian arowanas into Taiwan and Japan. In an effort to stop this illegal trade, CITIES has allowed farmers in Southeast Asia to legally breed, harvest and sell Asian arowanas. But again, everything went to a dead end. In the decades that followed, hundreds of arowana farms sprang up across Indonesia and Malaysia. It is noteworthy that these fish all disappeared from the wild. Today, the biggest market for Asian arowana is China. The fish has a “spirit” and the plastic surgery market for fish blooms Emily Voigt said: “It has become a mystical creature that is said to have the power to protect and help you make good business decisions, bringing wealth and prosperity. There are even stories of arowana jumping out of the tank as a warning of bad luck.” To keep their fish aesthetically pleasing, owners don’t mind spending money on “plastic surgery” to satisfy their hobby with eye lifts ($90), chin augmentation ( $60) and tail editing ($60). This belief has turned farm-raised Asian arowanas into an estimated $200 million/year global market. Huge income from trading arowana In the mid-1980s, a printing industry executive in Indonesia named Tris Tanoto quit his job and bought 12 Asian arowanas for $170. With the help of friends, Tanoto bought a small farm in East Jakarta, raising fish in a pond on the property. Experiencing many failures, to this day, Tanoto’s base of operations is one of at least 250 CITES-accredited Asian arowana farms across Southeast Asia. PT Munjul Prima Utama is one of Indonesia’s largest exporters of Asian arowana, especially “Super Red” – a crimson arowana that is very popular with the Chinese because they consider red to represent vitality and good luck. Each year, the company sells about 1,000 of the 7,000 Asian arowanas, generating about $3 million in annual sales. The average is $3,000/fish, but prices can fluctuate based on many factors such as color, origin, fin size and head shape… Tanoto sells 8 varieties of Asian arowana, with prices starting from 1,200 up to $5,500. Tanoto sold a “perfect” Super Red arowana to a Chinese man for $30,000. The extremely rare Asian Arowana can earn 10 times that amount. A Malaysian breeder specializing in albino Asian arowana once sold one of his arowanas for $300k. Instead of going directly to customers, many farms in Southeast Asia sell in bulk to dealers in other countries. Among these agents is David Carr, who runs Planet Arowana. With a passion for arowanas, David Carr moved to Malaysia and spent a year learning everything about this fish from local breeders. Carr says the process works like this: The lake has 20 arowanas (6 males, 14 females). Each female lays 10 to 80 eggs. Every 2-3 months harvest fry (called fingerlings). The fish are shipped to the UK and sold at 4-6 months of age for between $300 and $4k or more each. Carr sells his arowana to buyers around the world. In recent years, Carr said demand has expanded from Asia to the West.

Phu Quy island or Thu and Khoai Xu islands are attractive rendezvous for you to temporarily put aside the hustle and bustle of urban life and immerse yourself in the nature of the sunny and windy sea. The clear blue bay with a view to the bottom, the island without tourist fees, cheap seafood, and gentle locals are the factors that attract visitors to the “green pearl” of Binh Thuan. Reader Tien Ti Ton shared a memorable camping trip with a group of 7 friends on Phu Quy island for 3 days and 2 nights. Phu Quy has a different beauty compared to the islands of Vietnam. Move Ho Chi Minh City to Phan Thiet: You can take a bus to the coastal city of Phan Thiet, the travel time is about 4 hours. Because we want to be proactive about the time as well as enjoy the scenery along the way, our group chose motorbikes as a means of transportation. Phan Thiet to Phu Quy Island: There are many shipping lines for you to choose to move to the island such as Phu Quy Express, Superdong, Phu Quy Island… We choose the Superdong train, take VIP seats and return to normal seats to have a variety of experiences. However, I think it’s better to take the VIP seat because the cabin is quite quiet, served with filtered water, cold towels and a recliner. Meanwhile, the normal class is the seat, which is quite hot. Those who go to the island on the weekend should book tickets from 2 weeks to 1 month in advance because the train often runs out of seats early. After more than 2 hours floating on the immense sea, the group arrived on Phu Quy island. Visitors can easily record beautiful frames on Phu Quy island. Stay There are many motels and hotels on Phu Quy island. However, the quality of tourist services is not equal to those of high-class accommodation in big cities. The plus point is that the rooms are clean and the prices are quite reasonable, ranging from 300,000 to 400,000 VND/night. We stopped at My Nhat guesthouse. The owner is quite enthusiastic, friendly, the room is newly built and clean. Price for double room is 400,000 VND and single room is 300,000 VND. We also rent motorbikes here for 100,000 VND/day. The accommodation has a seafood barn and sells milk tea, so it is very convenient for eating and drinking. Play schedule Because we want to have more time to rest, our group departs from Ho Chi Minh City to Phan Thiet at 19:00 on Friday evening. Guests can rent overnight accommodation near the pier, convenient to Phu Quy island the next morning. If going on a weekend, you need to make a reservation in advance to secure your spot. Our group chose Hanh Huong motel, rented a dormitory room for 600,000 VND/night for 7 people. The host is enthusiastic and cares about us throughout our dining journey in Phu Quy. Day 1 The group had a light breakfast, then at 6:30 a.m. depart for the pier. Because we had completed medical declaration procedures and bought train tickets in advance, after sending our motorbikes, we were able to get on the train right away, starting the journey to discover Phu Quy. The group arrived at the island at 9:15. Someone picked up their group at the wharf and took motorbikes to move on the island. After that, the group moved to the motel near the shipping dock. Since we intend to camp on the island, we went to the Residency Committee. Phu Quy is a military island, visitors who want to camp should ask the motel for a permit first. Visitors need to keep the common hygiene, should not make campfires, bustling activities, noisy on the island. After that, we went to Hoa Thuong hot beef restaurant for lunch. The space is airy, even though the restaurant is crowded, the food is also quite good. After lunch, we went to Sea Wind coffee. The shop is located near the 7-color stone beach, cool sea view, suitable for escaping the summer afternoon heat. The group visited the Phu Quy rafting village to buy seafood. Phu Quy is famous for delicious, nutritious and cheap seafood. We bought nearly 2 kg of squid leaves, oysters, crabs, sea urchins, all for only 1.3 million VND.

There are objects in the house that seem simple but also emit energy that affects feng shui, including the refrigerator. This is not only a popular, lovely household item, a place to store and preserve food, but according to the feng-shui concept, the refrigerator is also considered a family’s treasury, with a close relationship strong and financially of the members. Feng shui expert Phung Phuong will point out 4 absolute absolute places that must not be refrigerated. If committed, it will cause damage to the family fortune. Do not place the refrigerator opposite or close to the stove In terms of the five elements, the fridge is mainly on the Kim onion, while the kitchen cooks the fire onions. When the refrigerator is placed close to or facing the stove, it will create a way of the Fire to engrave Kim. In this posture, male-female owners or family members are easy to create words or contradictions that are difficult to reconcile. Therefore, it is best to place diagonally or together, the stove and refrigerator should be placed 2-3 meters apart. With a small space, there is no place to place the refrigerator so that the door of the refrigerator opens to form a partition with the stove, this will limit the air flow from the exhaust to the inside of the refrigerator every time you open, just right. chemical dissolution, ensuring food safety. Great cavalry put the refrigerator opposite the door, the toilet door Refrigerators help store and preserve food, in terms of aesthetics as well as daily activities, the refrigerator located opposite the main door or the toilet door is not polite, affecting human health. Moreover, the toilets with Thuy Thuy are very prosperous, the refrigerator is considered a “fortune” of the family, if you place the refrigerator in front of the toilet, it will be easily swept away by Thuy. Taboos put the refrigerator under the altar The altar space is originally a spiritual space, always in need of tranquility and minimizes disturbance. While the refrigerator is a place for each family to store and preserve food, regular commuting is a taboo. In addition, the constant opening of the cupboard to store or take food (by Duong) will make the worshiping space (in Yin) lose the dignity and tranquility due to the smell of food, the frequent disturbances. Avoid placing the refrigerator at the bottom of the stairs Refrigerators are like “treasury” (the family’s wealth) should be placed in large, well-ventilated places that are both good for the operation process and good for the homeowner’s feng shui. The location under the stairs, narrow, lack of light, is very easy to cause defecation due to the process of people moving. Setting the refrigerator here is therefore a disadvantage, not good at all for the health and fortune of homeowners as well as family members. The above are taboos when using a refrigerator according to the water. Hope to help you avoid the bad effects caused by this feng shui error. * Information is for reference only.

Phu Quy Island is one of the attractive places for the upcoming 30/4 holiday and summer. Phu Quy is a prominent tourist destination recently on social networks. When should I go? Island tourism in the dry season is the most ideal. For a complete experience trip, beautiful photos, should go from December to June. During this time, the climate on the island is cool, clear blue sky, beautiful sunshine, little rain, fresh air. The sea in this season is quite smooth, suitable for those who are seasick. This is the best time to explore Phu Quy, the sea is very clear and blue. You should note that you should not go to Phu Quy island in rainy months because it is wet, even windy, the weather on the island becomes cold. Especially, October should not go because this time the sea is rough, the waves are big, and it is not safe. Chaoyang Bay when the sun goes down. Transport Coach: For those who live in the south, you can choose this form. To take a bus from Ho Chi Minh City, you go to Mien Dong bus station and choose a car company, or you can book tickets online. Ticket prices range from 230,000 to 250,000 VND. Train: You can buy tickets directly to Phan Thiet station, SPT train running at 6:50 am every day, or fast PT train but only operate on weekends (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) at 5pm. Another option is the SE train ticket to Binh Thuan station, from this station a more 12 km distance to the city of Phan Thiet. Planes: Traveling by plane is faster and more time-saving, suitable for those traveling from the North. Phan Thiet does not have an airport yet, so you have to land at Tan Son Nhat airport (Ho Chi Minh City) or closer to Cam Ranh airport (Khanh Hoa), then take a bus or rent a car to get to Phan Thiet. Moving from Phan Thiet to Phu Quy island: The fastest way is by train. I choose the SuperDong ship to run from Phan Thiet port to Phu Quy, within 2.5 hours with a ticket price of 350,000 VND / person / way. Train runs very smoothly and fast. There are also other ordinary trains such as the Hung Phat high-speed train (3.5 hours), the high-speed train Savanna Phu Quy – Khai Thinh KG (3 hours). Please note that not every day, every hour, there are trains running, please contact in advance to know the schedule and book tickets so as not to miss the trip. Where to go Tomb of the Teacher – Aquarium of Duong village The aquarium in Duong village is a place where there is a “window frame to escape the world”, if you want to come here, you need to go around behind the Master Tomb. You should go in light sunlight in the early morning or in the afternoon around 16:00. In addition to the beautiful window frames, this place also has beautiful outcrops. Cao Cat Here: Dubbed the highest place, the place to see the panoramic view of the island. Need to ride up to the bottom of the temple, then walk more than 100 steps to arrive. Phong Dien: When you reach the 3rd wind power pole, there will be a small road leading into the sea. Located in the same direction of Cao Cat Mountain, this is the right place to watch the sunset. Doc Phieu: This is the site that emerged recently, but this season there is no green grass. Should go early in the morning or afternoon so that the climate is cool, along the way there are some bushes, you can visit to take pictures to check in. Small Beach – Ganh Hang: These 2 places are the same, from the flagpole just to the end of the road, turn right to come. On the way, you can see the scenery on both sides of the cliff. Enjoy the water so green and clear. If you want to take beautiful pictures here, have to take the time to climb down below. Since cliffs are a bit dangerous, wear appropriate footwear. I have torn my legs because I don’t have slippers, and I can’t take a shower in my shoes. Hon Tranh: The most beautiful point in this trip. I hired a tour guide to guide you with the price of 250,000 VND / person, it takes about 10 minutes to reach the island. Going early in the afternoon, the train will not be too crowded. There are many games on the island, taking pictures freely, swimming, in the afternoon there will be canoes to pick up. If you come to Phu Quy island, you cannot help but visit Hon Tranh. On Phu Quy island there are many temples to visit. Linh Son Pagoda is a landscape complex located on Cao Cat Mountain, considered a sacred mountain. On the top is a statue of Buddha Lady Quan Am, at the foot of the hill is Linh Buu Pagoda. There is also Thanh Lam pagoda built in the 18th century, which is the place to keep 300 Buddha statues made from many different materials. Watching the sunset on Linh Son Pagoda is a highlight of my trip this time.

However, not everyone is aware of the harmful mistakes that will bring bad luck to your family. Feng shui expert Phung Phuong pointed out that 5 great cavalry owners need to be especially avoided, absolutely should not be committed. Experts say that it is quite difficult to build a house, not to let ignorance break the sand of the plan. Enter trach when the house is not completed When the house has not been completed, it means that the atmosphere is unstable, which can easily lead to turmoil and turmoil. You live in such an unstable environment, also detrimental to your health, wealth, and bad luck. When entering trach at a time when the feng shui is not good, later life will also be difficult to achieve the desired performance. I advise you, after finishing all the works from internal bonding to the small landscape, wait 1-2 weeks before doing the import ceremony. Wrong date entered I see a lot of families who do not choose the right day to join. To have a good day must ensure two factors: according to the plan and the age of the owner.
Many times, if you only count by your age, you forget the fortune, this is a damaging thing. You should move to a new home when the land is prosperous and stable. In feng shui, there are 3 elements Thien, Dia and Nhan, the element of Geography depends on time.
That is the reason that our feng shui remains unchanged, but the progress at ups and downs, so you need to choose a day of prosperity to welcome the good sand. An incorrect altar If you place the altar to worship the altar before entering the trach, it is wrong with the formal feng shui process. When you get home, you will move a lot of spills such as: beds, wardrobes … into the house.
In the process of stable installation, it is easy to move the altar and disturb the aura.
In addition, you usually have to knock on a fixed angle, creating loud noises and creating pulses to “worship”.
The church committee just got home has been “moved” and will bring negative things. Feng Shui 100 days first When you first come home, you will not only do the ceremony of the first day but also need to burn incense for 100 consecutive days with the aim of: stabilizing the atmosphere, increasing the vitality.
If you accidentally forget 12 days out of those 100 days, it will take a long time before you can stabilize the gas for the whole house. * Information for reference only.

The place he set foot to is quite wild, not exploited for tourism so much, it is very suitable for young people, especially those who are Tour enthusiast. Phu Quy is an attractive destination in the summer for those who love to explore. Specifically, the article about the 3 day 2 night travel schedule of Khoa and his friends in the trip to explore Phu Quy Island is as follows: The first day, at noon, should pick up the hotel and rest, in the afternoon, go for a tour of the shooting locations. The second day on the island toured Tranh island, in the afternoon, went to a virtual life circle around the island. The last day, get up early in the morning to watch the sunrise and then continue to 1 round the island. Then return to the hotel to rest, 12 noon to the pier, board the boat to Phan Thiet. The total cost for the trip per person is about less than 2.5 million VND. In which, round-trip train fare: 700,000 VND; round-trip ticket: 280,000 VND; room rate is 400,000 VND (3 days), car rental, gas: 120,000 VND; Hon Tranh tour: 250,000 VND; Food: 500,000 VND. A total of about 2tr3 poured back because 1 amount will be less if you go crowded like dining or room. During this trip to Phu Quy, Khoa chose a bus when he moved from Ho Chi Minh City at 23:00 and arrived in Phan Thiet at 2:30 am the next morning. After that, the group of friends continue to wait until 6am to move on board to Phu Quy island. “From Phan Thiet to Phu Quy Island, there are 3 shipping lines, we are wondering between Phu Quy Express and Superdong, but due to coming early, waiting for a while, we choose the first ship Superdong. Time floating floating on the sea about 2 and a half hours before we arrive on the island ”, shared Khoa. In his post, Khoa also notes when people choose shipping lines. The 9X boy said: “If you want to have more time to rest, you can move to Phan Thiet early and rent a house to stay overnight, get up to the pier in the morning so you will have time to rest and not have to wrestle. early. The tickets of the other two airlines are equal and luckily, I experience these two airlines (to Superdong, to Phu Quy Express), so my sense is that Phu Quy Express will be better if you are prone to seasickness, due to the type of train. the bed so you just need to sleep one night to arrive ”. Khoa further notes that visitors should book tickets early through its websites. “The tip when booking on Phu Quy’s website is that you will only be able to choose a one-way bed, the other one-way bed is required to choose a seat. The solution is to separate the odd book! ”, Suggested Khoa. In addition, this young man also advises everyone to prepare more car sickness medicine to prevent seasickness.

Although the quality is not equal to hotels in big cities, it is also quite clean and the price is also reasonable (average hotel price from: 250,000 – 300,000 VND / day). In Phu Quy, there is a special thing that when you contact to rent a car, when you first arrive on the island, you will get the car, run to the hotel and then when you return, also run right at the port without fear of losing. . Usually, there will be a car rental here to pick you up and return the car ”, Khoa said. Regarding the dining on the island, Khoa commented that the food is extremely fresh and cheap.

Snacks are mostly plan cakes, the price “super chestnuts”, there are a few milk tea shops, snails, mixed rice paper in the center of the island … In addition, Khoa also noted some beautiful and enchanting check-in places when tourists come to Phu Quy Island such as: Trieu Duong Bay; Pheo slope; Sovereignty flagpole, Bai Nho – Bai Da, Phu Quy island (watch dawn); Ganh Hang; Infinity Lake; Duong Lang Fish Boat; The Master’s Tomb + the aquarium behind (should be in the afternoon because the light is against the sun); Cao Cat Mountain + Linh Son Pagoda (should go in the afternoon); Phong Dien; Lang beach embankment; Hon Tranh … Here are a series of sparkling photos during Khoa’s trip to Phu Quy island:

Living in a house like this doesn’t make any money or money. If your house accidentally commits 1 out of 3, don’t worry too much. Feng shui expert Phung Phuong advises everyone to pay close attention to the feng-shui gods that hinder the prosperity of their family. Wind Referring to the wind means referring to the wind source around the house that is living. If there is a strong wind around the house, it is easy to form “toxic wind”. Such houses are usually located in areas where there is a gust of wind, the amount of wind that penetrates the house will be much. Therefore, even if it is a place with good gas-gathering terrain, it will cause the people of luck to be inferior and costly. The evil spirit knocked on the door Too many doors is not good. Gate evil mainly consists of two types: 1 is a house with many doors, and 2 is the door facing each other. Whether it is the first or the second, in terms of feng shui, it is not a good thing. The first is the type of house with many doors, that is, only one house, but the front and back are designed with many doors. Such a house layout is not conducive to keeping the wind, condensing air, but easily leads to wasting money. The second type is the interior of the house with opposite doors such as the main door, the bedroom door, the bathroom door, and the kitchen door. Thus, it is easy to form evil qi and lose the family’s fortune. How to neutralize: Use Quartz or Five-Base Coins to purify the energy-stable atmosphere to have air sand to support the campaign. Corner house The house with a missing corner has a very bad effect on the homeowner. Depending on the age, there will be different bad luck angles. A house is also like our pocket, if the wallet has a hole, no matter how much money inside it will be lost. The way to neutralize: Use Bhikkhu or Mr. Quan Gia to gather wealth to protect the “wealth” for his family. * Information is for reference only.

If the owner wants to increase his fortune, he can put an object called a “treasure box” under the bed. According to feng shui, put a box under the bed, all your dreams and wishes will be filled in. Each time you sleep, your body will absorb positive energy from the box, helping you to fulfill your wish soon. Treasure box can be made from many different ingredients. Wooden boxes symbolize fertility and bloom, helping couples who are expecting their children to have good news soon. The clay box will help the road of fame to flourish. Boxes made of gold, silver, and precious stones help bring wealth, wealth and wealth to the homeowner. Homeowners should put precious jewelry, valuable money bills inside the box to stimulate money increase. It is forbidden to put the coin in the box. If your family life is having problems, your love is not going well, you can put aromatherapy essential oils and scented candles in the box. But this object can arouse feelings of love, love feelings of couples more salty. If you want your health, please put pearls with the image of turtles and deer in the box. After 3 months, bring the box clean once to increase the ability to attract fortune, avoid bad luck. According to feng-shui, under the bed must be ventilated to help the air in the room be airy, creating the circulation of air, not affecting the health of family members. However, some bed designers are now thinking like a kind of closet, tightly sealed. As such, air will not be able to circulate. * Information for reference and contemplative nature.

The gate can be seen as the first entrance to the gas, at the same time as the face of the house, and also as a screen dividing the inside and outside space.

Plant trees The gate of the house represents a career, so it is necessary to have a prosperous energy and light. You should plant more trees to activate good airflow and increase the emotions of your visitors. In front of the gate should be airy From the entrance to the house, there should be a spacious, flat and airy space that helps the homeowner clear up coherently in thinking, reaching out in the vision to achieve more success. Suitable port size The size of the gate should be in line with the size of the house, if the gate is too wide, destiny will be adversely affected, if too small, it will cause pressing restrictions that easily arose dissent. The gate base is higher than the road surface The floor of the gate should also be higher than the road surface or the airflow will be restricted. If your gate is facing the big road, electric poles, broadcasting station … please use the Tiger Phu in front of the gate to neutralize. The gate is a place to carry the air, if the environment is fresh, the land is flat and open, which will help your soul stay calm and softer when entering the house. * Information is for reference only.

According to Doan Trang, the owner of the orchid business in Dong Da district, Hanoi, this year, due to the influence of COVID-19, the import of orchids (mainly from the Taiwan market (China). There are many difficulties, so flower products are consumed faster than every year .Potted moth orchids of all types, colors and sizes are sold for an average price of moth orchid, priced from 250,000. – 300,000 VND / branch For VIP customers, there are flower pots up to several tens of millions VND. “Therefore, to take care of customers most carefully, when Tet comes, I myself and the special staff pay special attention. Respect the types of pots, flowers, decorative accessories so that there is a harmonious and beautiful combination, bringing the luxury to the house and the blessings of the homeowner with the desire to continue to retain customers “. According to Uncle Dinh Duc Thien (customers who buy orchids from Ninh Binh), because he has a passion for Ho scallop orchids, when Tet comes, the spring comes, Uncle Thien always tries to find himself a pot of Ho moth orchids. Most picky even though it has to go far to choose. For many people, when life is more prosperous than ornamental plants and ornamental flowers such as kumquat, which are indispensable every Tet to spring, in recent years, many people choose to celebrate Tet. . In 2020, although the economic conditions are affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, Mr. Thien continues to enjoy his passion. “This New Year, I see many people like yellow and white orchids, although it is more expensive. Perhaps this color means wealth, luck, satisfaction, fortune, and prosperity ”- Mr. Thien added. According to experts on orchids, depending on space, age, destiny … each person should choose for themselves large or small orchid pots, and corresponding colors. If you want a cozy Tet holiday, you should choose small beautiful white flower pots to make the house more luxurious and sophisticated, or if you want to decorate a spacious space, a colorful flower pot with Exquisite meticulous design will be the right choice. Phalaenopsis orchids in addition to their beautiful, durable and luxurious colors, but also have a meaning of peace and prosperity for the new year. Therefore, although this flower is expensive, it is still favored by consumers as gifts for relatives during Tet. However, in order to have a brilliant and unique orchid color, the player should pay attention to some notes such as: it is necessary to place the orchid pots in the bright areas of the room; should not arbitrarily change the structure of the tree; should not water too much, or watering is not hygienic… /.

According to the Federal Statistical Office, the savings rate in Germany rose to a record level of 16.3 percent last year. This means that the Germans save more than 16 euros for every 100 euros of their disposable income. According to the statistics office, private households would not have spent their disposable income in 2020 to the usual extent. The government measures to contain the corona pandemic and the adapted behavior of the population to protect against infection with the corona virus would have led to this. As a result, consumer spending by private households fell by 5.4 percent last year compared to 2019. The savings rate increased by 5.4 percent compared to 2019.

Financial wealth reaches record level

Those who save have more money. According to data from the Bundesbank, the financial assets of private households reached the enormous sum of almost 7 trillion euros at the end of 2020. In the previous quarter, the assets were still 211 billion euros lower. The amount consists of cash, securities, bank deposits as well as claims against insurance companies and shares in investment funds. The Bundesbank’s data does not reveal how the enormous wealth is distributed among the citizens. However, the central bankers already know how the increase is made up. “In particular, behind the increase in financial assets were the increase in cash and deposits totaling 74 billion euros and the valuation gains on shares and other equity securities amounting to 61 billion euros,” said the Bundesbank. This means that at least the Germans who directly or indirectly own shares will also benefit from the current bull market on the stock market. Only today did the Dax hit another record high .

The number of shareholders is also increasing

In the meantime, the hunt for records on the international and national stock exchanges has also reached a broader public. According to the Bundesbank, savers, who are actually considered to be rather shy of the stock market, are increasingly investing in stocks or funds. “Private households remained very active on the capital market in the fourth quarter.” In the period from October to the end of December 2020, private households bought shares and investment fund shares totaling 21 billion euros. According to the Deutsches Aktieninstitut (DAI), the number of shareholders in Germany has climbed to the highest level in almost 20 years in 2020. Accordingly, 12.35 million people owned shares in companies or equity funds – almost 2.7 million more than a year earlier. The number was last higher in 2001 at almost 12.9 million.

Cash and deposits preferred

Nonetheless, stocks and funds still only make up a small part of the total financial assets of private households: at the end of last year, according to the Bundesbank figures, almost 805 billion euros were in stocks and other equity rights. In the case of investment funds, it was around 735 billion euros. Much of the wealth is still in cash and bank deposits, which hardly yield anything because of the slack interest rates . However, the argument of many savers is that they can be accessed quickly when needed. The volume of cash and bank deposits totaled around 2809 billion euros at the end of last year. Insurance and other pension products are still popular. At the end of December, their holdings totaled almost 2,458 billion euros.

After the slogan “Shoes are not fried” was called out by the platform again, the minibus of the shoe-fried shoemaker typed “Hehe”.

Recently, The limited edition Li Ning sneakers were fired up to 40,000 yuan a pair on the trend trading platform Dewu, and they were removed from the Dewu App and the transaction account was blocked. , The madness and danger of fried shoes has once again attracted the attention of the public.

The last time I was severely hit was in October 2019. The central bank issued a document warning of the financial risks behind the “shoe speculation fever”, including naming and criticizing the trendy shoe trading platforms such as Dewu, nice, stock, and 95 points. At that time, Dewu (formerly known as “Poison App”) and Nice issued a statement that “shoes should not be fried”, but only from the interaction on Weibo comments, netizens did not buy it.

After a year and a half, the platform once again made a sound of cracking down on fried shoes. Will the market for fried shoes cool down?

Since Li Ning’s sneakers were fired in early April, reporters from the “Daily Business News” interviewed more than ten senior shoe speculators with a long “shoe age”. They generally believe that: The shoe market is temporarily calm, but driven by interests, brand owners, trading platforms, and shoe buyers are still at the “card table”, and the shoe market will not be quiet.

The rise of platforms, opening up the C2C market

Retail investors flood into the “secondary market” of sneakers

In the post-80s to post-95 youths, wearing a pair of Nike and Adi sneakers will automatically “walk with the wind” to gain the capital to show off in the class. NBA enters China, “Slam Dunk” is popular, basketball has become a national sport, and “shoe culture” also has soil in China.

Recalling when he was in middle school, Zhou Shou felt that there were only three things that attracted the attention of others, “playing well, studying well, and looking handsome”, but he didn’t account for the same. Until one time, when he went to school wearing a pair of Nike shoes, he unexpectedly discovered that he was part of the group.

“Going back to the early stages of users, especially in China, students can best demonstrate their individuality in shoes.” Yang Bing, born in Jiangxi in 1986, said in an interview that he has developed a strong interest in basketball since middle school. Like other basketball enthusiasts, good sneakers are what he dreams of.

With interest and business opportunities, Yang Bing and Zhou Shou started their business when they were in college. The former founded the sports information website Hupu and derived it, and the latter founded nice. These two apps quickly developed into the main platform for online sneaker trading, and the business rooted in sneaker culture began.

Image source: Screenshot of Dewu APP

Before these two platforms came out, the sneaker enthusiast Hu Ge mainly bought shoes through the forum. He still retains the bbs website that he used before, although it is now a link that cannot be clicked. “At that time, you had to leave a message in the forum to buy shoes, add QQ to other people, make appointments for offline transactions, and also look at the credibility of the other party.” Brother Hu told reporters.

After Dewu, nice and other apps that carry trendy shoe trading functions are launched, the threshold for buying and selling sneakers has been lowered, and the threshold for frying shoes has also been lowered.

“Before there was a platform, there were transactions in private. Everyone made profits by their own ability.” The shoemaker minibus revealed to reporters, “After the platform appeared, disputes about transactions, such as disputes over defective shoes, were reduced. It’s easier to trade.”

“If the brand sells limited editions, wholesalers get the goods and then sell them to agents, it is the primary market for sneaker trading; then countless retail investors frequently buy and sell sneakers through the platform, which is the secondary market for sneaker trading.” Five-year-old Xiaoyi said, “When I first entered this industry, there was no platform. To buy shoes, you must have dealer resources to get the goods; to sell shoes, you must also have customer resources to ship. The platform has opened up a C2C market. You don’t need to have shoes on your hands, you don’t need to have customers on your hands, you can plunge into the heat of frying shoes.”

In Xiaoyi’s view, the platform has promoted the “shoe-fried shoe fever.” “In 2016 and 2017, I used AJ shoes with discounts, and now there are no discounted shoes. Because of the large number of people playing, the high popularity, and the high demand, the price naturally rises. I can say that the price of sneakers fluctuates like this. It’s so big, 80% of the reason lies in the platform, which gives the public link the entrance to fry shoes. Before the information was blocked, there were few people participating, and there were not so many “downs” in the middle. Now anyone can buy and sell frequently on it, and the number of flips increases, and the price will definitely come up. ”

“Great God” earns one million a month, buys luxury houses and luxury cars

No amount of financing risk can withstand the temptation to make wealth

In order to improve transaction efficiency, the American shoe speculation platform took the lead in launching the Adi, Nike, and AJ index, and nearly ten domestic shoe trading platforms followed suit. Sales charts, ups and downs, price curves…The data that the platform beats is money that never tires, and it stimulates the nerves of players all the time.

At the craziest time, some small platforms even sold sneaker tickets. Retail investors can buy 0.3 pairs of AJ and 2.5 pairs of Adi, and sneakers have completely become virtual securities products. Small loan companies also ran into the market to provide instalment and leveraged services for the shoe speculation platform. The financial snowball of speculation shoes is getting bigger and bigger.

And no matter how high the financing cost and the big financing risk are, it can’t resist the temptation to create a rich myth by speculating shoes.

“In more than three years, I have made more than 1 million yuan in shoes.” Li Da, who entered the shoe market in 2018, has established his own supply channels in just a few years and has many fixed merchants downstream. When business is good, Li Da can sell two to three thousand pairs of shoes a day. “For example, the AJ bargain that was very popular before. The price I got was 4,000 yuan/pair, and I sold it to merchants at 10,000 yuan. A pair of net profit was 5,000 or 6,000.”

“I’m still earning less.” In Li Da’s mind, the “great gods” in the industry are those “predecessors” who earn millions of dollars a month to buy luxury houses and luxury cars through their shoes.

When he first entered the industry, Xu Huan was also making money. “By directly collecting sneakers at the sale site, I made a small profit of more than 20,000.” Xu Huan recalled to every reporter that since then, she has been out of control. Without a stable source of front-end supplies, she can only sell in the secondary market. Get shoes at a higher price.

“I don’t know how many times my shoes have turned hands.” After the sneakers were priced up layer by layer, Xu Huan’s profit was meager. In order to make another charge, she began to borrow money from people around her, and she had nowhere to go. After borrowing, they will add leverage to third-party institutions in the form of installments to continue to fry shoes. “Ribunli, now I can’t support it anymore.”

Xu Huan did not disclose the specific amount owed, but she said that she has been unable to repay her debts by frying shoes, and now she has decided to withdraw from the shoe market. “The risk of speculating shoes is high, and once the capital chain is broken, I will lose my money. I understand all these principles, and I blame me for being too young.”

In the shoe market, some people make a lot of money, while others lose money. In Xu Huan’s view, the platform is always the one that makes steady profits without losing money.

Every time the reporter noticed, considering a pair of sneakers priced at 3477 yuan, if you sell on nice, you need to pay 1.2% of the share to the platform, or 41.7 yuan; and for the goods, you need to pay a 5% share to the platform. , Which is 173.82 yuan. However, there is a “cap” on the commission for the goods. When the transaction amount reaches 5,000 yuan and above, the platform share is fixed at 249 yuan. How exactly is the commission rate for gains determined? Every time the reporter asked about getting things, but as of press time, no response has been received.

There are also shoe speculators who believe that platform commissioning is not a big problem. “If you don’t have something, nice, where would you go to sell it? (Fried shoes) have already made so much, so don’t worry about the platform’s share. No matter it is the 5% handling fee or higher, I can accept it. “Shoe-fried shoemaker Ahao told reporters that the handling fee for trading sneakers on overseas platforms is higher. “A pair of more than $250 shoes will cost about $30.”

No matter how the market for frying shoes changes, whether it is a high price or a sharp drop in the dive, the shoe fryers need to take risks, but the platform is a stable commission “driving and flooding to ensure income.” Zhang Yi, founder and CEO of iiMedia Consulting Group, pointed out in an interview with reporters that after deducting promotion and operating costs, “the platform is still profitable.”

You can grab 200 pairs of sneakers at one time

The robot is the “efficient” ordering program

Those who don’t want to become “leeks” know that for those limited editions with hype value, taking shoes from the “secondary market” means that the price may have been overturned several times. In the “primary market” that is the source of the brand, the cost will be lower if the goods are bought at the selling price.

But getting goods from the “primary market” is not easy. Through open channels, the brand’s limited edition sneakers are as difficult as buying a house lottery. To pass the online lottery, after winning the lottery online, you have to draw another lottery offline before you can finally be eligible for purchase.

In order to increase the “lottery winning rate”, shoe speculators have long used the “scratch plug-in”. “The main purpose of using plug-ins is to receive reminders before the sneakers are sold, so that they can raid the sale pages more accurately and quickly.” Ahao told reporters that there are many free plug-ins in 2016 and 2017, but The charging mode is now open. “The one-stop membership system is about 25 to 35 yuan per month.”

Using plug-ins to grab shoes can only be said to be a step ahead, but whether they can be grabbed and how many can be grabbed in the end is unknown. This has prompted the industry to evolve a more advanced gameplay-robot grabbing shoes.

“Our team’s channels are abroad, and they mainly use robots to grab shoes, and they can grab about 200 pairs of sneakers at a time.” According to Ahao’s description, the robot is equivalent to an “efficient” order processing program. The use of robots can help shoe speculators improve the efficiency of grabbing shoes on overseas official websites when sneakers are on sale.

Nowadays, even the price of robots has risen, and it has become a limited amount of sweet pastry. “There are good robots both abroad and domestic, which is equivalent to selling you an ID, and you have the authority to pay for the ID.” Ahao said, “ The current price of robots ranges from 2,000 yuan/unit to 130,000 yuan/unit, most of which are still between 20,000 and 50,000/unit. With robots, regular renewal is required. In fact, the original price of the robot is not that expensive, but it is basically impossible to buy it now, so there is a high premium. ”

From plug-ins to robots, tools for fry shoes are also being fired.

There are a large number of second-hand sneakers transaction information on the platform. Image source: APP screenshot

In fact, in terms of production links, the sneaker manufacturing industry, which has already been industrialized and mass-produced, basically does not have the problem of technology and capacity supply. But for the brand, selling high-end limited edition sneakers can increase brand value. Scarcity brings “nobleness”, and a game of “hunger marketing” has been played since the beginning.

Take a domestic brand sneaker that has recently been pushed up in the secondary market. The shoe vendor Xiaoye discovered that the store where he often took the goods quickly controlled discounts. “We used to get a 40% discount on shoes, but now we can only get a 20% discount, and there is even no discount. When we get the shoes at the original price and put them on the secondary platform, the price will definitely be higher than before.”

“Later I couldn’t get the shoes at all, and I just asked if I didn’t. Now the store manager just likes to answer, and he sends a message to reply four or five sentences a day. He said that he would sell my shoes at a discount, but in the end they were all released with pigeons, or just “Original price.” Xiaoye vomited, “When I asked for the first time, she said that the store was too busy; the second time, she said that she would consider it, and only the third time she agreed to give me some.” In short, as the prices of certain brands have risen. In order to get shoes that were not so popular before, the shoe-fried shoemaker needs to grind hard and soak with the brand channel.

In Xiaoye’s view, the brand can bear the blame for the price increase of sneakers in the secondary market.

Shoe-fried people are mostly Generation Z

The borders of emerging markets are ambiguous, and supervision is almost blank

The more people interviewed, the harder it is to define each individual involved in shoe-making with a simple “black” or “white”. For example, a minibus whose side business is to fry shoes. His hobby is to study sneakers. “If the price of my hoarded sneakers goes up, the reason for being happy is not just making money, but it also proves that my vision has been affirmed. If I fall severely, I usually wear them myself.”

In this emerging market with ambiguous borders, rules and supervision are almost blank, traps and scams are proliferating, and every shoe speculator will encounter big and small “pits.”

Chen Ru, who only stepped into the “shoe circle” in 2019, “for a time doubted his commercial ability.” Every time the reporter interviewed more than a dozen shoe speculators, most of them were born in 1995 or even after 00. Chen Ru is a middle-aged man with decades of business experience.

“At that time, for investment immigration, I set up a trendy brand store and opened fire. After returning to China, there was nothing wrong with me. I felt that I could do a good job in frying shoes. The amount of money invested in a shoe alone was quite large. I became famous because I lost tens of millions.” Chen Ru told reporters.

“I have been trading in the secondary market for luxury goods very early, and the hype price of Rolex’green water ghost’ far exceeds sneakers. But we are basically dealing with mature businessmen. When I placed an order, a watch was worth 70,000 yuan. Even if it was up to 75,000 yuan when it was delivered, normal suppliers would basically hand it over to me at the original price. But these little friends who fry shoes will “pigeon” you without any shame. “

“He (Chen Ru) was deceived by the’pigeon’, and I was deceived directly.” Xiaoyi, a shoemaker sitting next to Chen Ru, said to every reporter: “I once gave people money to get the goods, but they took the money and didn’t ship the goods, so they just rolled the money and ran away.”

Later, the middleman who ran away was arrested. He defrauded a total of more than 6 million yuan, and 1 million yuan from Xiaoyi. And this middleman is just a 21-year-old young man. “With millions in his hand, he can’t control so much money. He may have squandered it. He didn’t realize that this kind of deceptive behavior would bring himself more than ten years of imprisonment.”

Young age, weak legal awareness and risk awareness, these are common problems existing in mainstream shoe speculators.

And what responsibilities does the platform have to shoulder in it?

In 2019, after being named by the central bank as the “financial risk of speculating shoes”, nice issued a statement to comprehensively rectify speculation on the platform, including: offline and shutting down the transaction curve, increase list, and sales list; clear the guide in the community , Content and comments that instigate fried shoes.

On April 14th, every reporter opened nice and saw that the sales curve, the increase list, the sales list, and the comments in the community have already made a comeback. Regarding the content displayed on the nice platform, every time the reporter inquired about the nice aspect, as of press time, no response has been received.

In fact, if the platform wants to monitor the speculation of shoes, the easiest way is to monitor those shoes whose prices fluctuate particularly greatly. “The obvious deviation from the normal brand premium is caused by the hype premium.” Xiaoyi said. “But I think the most important thing to reflect on is that those who come in with a sense of wealth and speculation will not lose money on shoes, but they will also stumbling on others.”

Reporter’s Notes | Beware of the aging of the fried shoe market

Generation Z is a buzzword, it seems that once something is grafted to “Generation Z”, it seems a little bit of magic.However, when the shoe-fried shoes meet the Z generation, it is a phenomenon worthy of vigilance.

It is true that on the sneaker trading platform, ID cards are required to be uploaded, and registration is not allowed under the age of 18, but there is no shortage of middle school students who are keen to fry shoes under the age of 18.

Even if they are between 18 and 21 years old, most of them are undergraduates who have not yet graduated. They do not yet have a stable source of income, where does the principal of the shoes come from?

Liu Yonghao once said that his son also invested in the sneaker business and invested 20,000 yuan, but the other party ran away. Liu Yonghao felt that this was a good business education for his children.

The problem is that not every young person comes from a wealthy family, and the greed that cannot stand the temptation of wealth and profiteering is human nature. At this time, if high-interest Internet lending methods that can be mortgage-free are opened to them, once there is a runaway The collapse and the financial snowball are the students who lack the ability to resist risks.

Xiao Gang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and former chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, recently stated in the “National Wealth Lecture Hall” program that in the future, the proportion of financial assets in residents’ wealth will become higher and higher, and the capital market should become a carrier of wealth appreciation.

Xiao Gang said that in the past we mainly relied on indirect financing and used bank leverage to mobilize savings to support technological innovation and manufacturing investment. However, in the historical stage of building an innovative country, the development of direct financing, especially equity financing, has become an inevitable trend. The next step in the reform of the financial market should focus on expanding the role of direct financing, especially equity financing, in supporting technological innovation and industrial transformation and upgrading.

“Science and technology innovation requires a large scale of investment, a long investment cycle, and high investment risk. Many innovations ultimately fail. In this case, the use of bank credit may put a heavy burden on innovation entities. Bank borrowing is corporate debt and needs to repay the principal and interest, which will inhibit the enthusiasm of innovation entities. Direct financing, especially equity financing, fits the characteristics of innovation well.”

The development of the equity investment market requires reforms in many aspects. First of all, Xiao Gang said that many private equity investment funds currently invest in mid- to late-stage projects, while technological innovation often requires strong support for early-stage projects, which requires more long-term and patient capital. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce more incentive policies to attract capital investment in early-stage, technological projects to promote technological innovation.

Second, he said that the current comprehensive reform of the exchange market has achieved obvious results, but further reforms are needed to expand the proportion of equity financing. For example, the NEEQ has achieved initial results in last year’s reforms. It mainly serves private and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises. The development potential after the reform is worth looking forward to.

Regarding the over-the-counter trading and over-the-counter markets of securities companies, Xiao Gang emphasized that in the past we paid more attention to on-exchange and standardized trading, but in fact, there are over-the-counter markets that need to be standardized. “In the past, there were many problems in the OTC market, such as non-standardization, information asymmetry and opacity, lack of trust mechanisms, etc. However, with the help of financial technology, such as blockchain, big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies, it was combined with OTC transactions. It may make up for the shortcomings in the over-the-counter market in the past.”

Xiao Gang believes that the current share of financial assets in residents’ wealth is still low. With the reform and development of the equity investment market, the proportion of financial assets in the wealth of residents will become higher and higher in the future, and there will be a trend of “financialization of wealth”. Resident assets will no longer consist of real estate, but will have more financial instruments. In the future, the capital market should provide richer products and become a carrier for the appreciation of residents’ wealth, so that investors can obtain more property income.

Bitcoin is the first digital currency created in the world. It is an encrypted currency created by complex mathematical equations. According to media reports, Bitcoin was created in 2009 by an unidentified programmer named Satoshi Nakamoto, who is believed to own about 1 million Bitcoins, accounting for 5% of the total number of Bitcoins. Currently, one Bitcoin is equivalent to 63,000 US dollars, which means that Satoshi Nakamoto’s wealth is approximately 62 billion US dollars. The Bitcoin story is so attractive because no one knows who Satoshi Nakamoto is. Some people say that he may not be a single person, but a group of people.

It is believed that the original Bitcoin wallet belongs to the inventor. Currently, there are 980000 Bitcoins in these wallets, but they have not been used for more than a decade. So people speculated that Satoshi Nakamoto was actually dead. In the past 12 months, as mainstream companies began to accept the use of Bitcoin, the currency value of Bitcoin has jumped by 900%. The concept of Bitcoin was first proposed in 2009 in the form of the white paper “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”. Dr. Craig Wright of Australia claims to be the inventor of Bitcoin. But more people still tend to believe in Satoshi Nakamoto.

Some details show that Satoshi Nakamoto was born in 1975 and lives in Japan. In 2014, Dorian Nakamoto appeared in Temple City, Los Angeles County, but he denied that he was the creator of Bitcoin. Over the years, many others have been touted to be the real Satoshi Nakamoto or claim to be themselves, but in fact, this is still a mystery. Microsoft boss Bill Gates recently warned that if you are not as rich as Elon Musk, then you should stay away from Bitcoin. When asked if he had made a bitcoin investment, Gates said that he would prefer to invest in companies that “manufacture products.”
