In 2004, a film called “A Life with Wine” was launched with a bottle of 1961 White Horse Winery wine as the main line. There is a scene that many people are unforgettable: Miles Raymond, the lonely, depressed, and desolate protagonist, uses a plastic coffee cup in a fast food restaurant to drink his favorite bottle of the precious old-year White Horse Chateau wine. In the same year, there was a Hong Kong movie “Dragon Wind Fight”. Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng played a pair of snitches who were in love. They stole a bottle of wine at a high price in a wine shop. This bottle of wine is also known as the “Wine King” by Hong Kong people. “The wine from the White Horse Winery in 1961.” The classic movie bridge segment makes the White Horse Winery become popular among the people.

From classicist castles that have been inherited for many centuries to new buildings designed by world-renowned designers, White Horse Winery allows visitors to cross the barriers of time and space and plunge themselves into the style of the Middle Ages. The old manor, the secluded castle, the novel brewing area, and the intertwined gravel road are quiet and elegant. The White Horse Manor occupies the unique geographical location of Saint-Emilion and Pomerol. Its mysterious name of the manor and the simple and amazing wine produced make the White Horse Manor an irresistible temptation in many people’s hearts.

There are two different theories about the origin of the name of White Horse Winery. One way of saying: There was a chic inn where the former winery was located, and King Henry often rode his white love horse to pass by here to rest. Therefore, the inn was named “White Horse Inn”. Later, after the place was changed to a winery, it was also called White Horse Winery. Another way of saying this: when it belonged to Figeac, it was not that large areas of grapes were planted here, but it was a place where Figeac was used to raise horses. It was only after the sale that large areas of grapes were planted, and after becoming a winery, it was officially named Baima Winery.

In the 19th century, the White Horse Winery spread the wings of a romantic dream. From the beginning of brewing in 1834 to the final take shape in 1871, White Horse Winery has written a legend. Because creative actions were required at the very beginning, the traditional grape varieties of Saint-Emilion and Pomerol were combined with Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and the classic taste of Chateau Blanc wine was formed.

The 20th century was a period when White Horse Winery was widely recognized. In 1954, White Horse Winery was rated as a first-class premium winery A-level, and every ten years thereafter, it will firmly grasp its own highest honor.

“In previous years, my husband and I often bought the whole garden, from when the lychee was still green until harvest, we would sell it to traders. Now the lychee is in the right season for the outbreak, so my husband and I decided to switch to drying and selling dry cloth. Because it was too urgent, I didn’t have time to make a drying oven, so after I harvested fresh lychees, I rented them to dry them and then sell them on my personal page as well as online market groups,” Thuy said. The price of dried fabric is halved compared to every year Ms. Thuy said that the drying time for a batch of fabric ranges from 5 to 6 days, depending on the drying process of each kiln owner. A satisfactory batch of dried lychee is that the lychee fruit must have uniform color, sharp sweetness, flexibility and a very characteristic aroma. Due to the impact of the epidemic, the price of dried lychee this year is much lower than every year. According to Ms. Thuy, in previous years, the average price of dried lychee was from 120,000-150,000 VND/kg, this year the price fluctuates around 60,000 VND/kg. This price is for Thuy and her husband to make it public on their sales page. She and her husband only do wholesale, not retail, with a minimum order of 10kg. Customers taking in large quantities, from 50kg or more, I will reduce the price a little more. “Because I have been selling for nearly 15 years, the number of regular customers is very large. There are customers who order immediately at 2-3 quintals, on average I output about 4 quintals a day. In less than a week, I sold 1.5 tons of dried lychees,” she said. Thuy and her husband only wholesale dried cloth for customers who buy 10kg or more “Actually, this year, I switched to selling dried lychees like this and didn’t make much profit. However, due to the Covid-19 epidemic, I want to join hands so that litchi growers don’t suffer much damage.” The woman shared that if the dried fabric meets the standards, it can be preserved for a whole year. Dried lychee can be used to eat directly, soak in alcohol or use to cook tea, as a spice for traditional Chinese medicine. How to choose a drying cloth In the market, there are many establishments that sell dried fabrics, but to choose quality dried fabrics, it is necessary to pay attention to buy them at reputable addresses. The dried fruit must be large, the outer skin is dry evenly, keep its shape or slightly dented. Dried fabric can be kept for a long time Especially when peeling, the lychee must be flexible, have a characteristic aroma, sweet taste, peel off without sticking to your hands, and have a dark color of cockroach wings. Long litchi with black color means it has been burnt, while long with light brown color means that it has not been dried enough, must be used immediately and cannot be stored for a long time. Methods of preservation In order to preserve the dried fabric for a long time, when we buy the fabric, we dry it under 2 or 3 times in the sun. During the drying process, pay attention to turning the fabric to the sun, and the fabric to dry evenly. Then put it in the shade to dry in the wind for another 3, 4 days, then put it in a tightly tied plastic bag. When storing, about 2-3 months, you should open the cloth bag to check the probability of a few fruits to see if the dried fabric is still of good quality or has been moldy, damaged or opaque. If you store a lot, every few months, you should take the fabric out to dry in the sun and follow the exact same preservation process for the first time, thus ensuring that the dried fabric can be kept delicious and nutritious for years to come.

While Coca-Cola’s new products have been well received by the market, a reporter from Beijing Business Daily discovered that beverage companies have already targeted the alcohol track. The beer category appears in the new trademark of Wanglaoji, a leading domestic herbal tea company, and another member may be added to the liquor market.

For many beverage companies involved in alcohol, industry insiders analyzed that beverage companies’ cross-border layout of alcohol is mainly because their category growth is restricted, and they hope to seek new increments through cross-border.

Cross-border wine sales

When the new Coca-Cola sparkling wine products were launched, heated debates arose. Beverage companies are very attractive to be a wine seller. When it comes to the sales market, beverage companies’ wine selling dividends begin to appear.

A reporter from Beijing Business Daily entered the official flagship store of Coca-Cola and found that from the first day of June to today, the new sparkling wine has three product links. According to incomplete statistics, the total sales volume is nearly 8,000 and the number of evaluations totals nearly 1,000. Compared with Rui’ao Zero Sugar Sparkling Wine, which was launched on JD.com on the same day, with only 100+ ratings, Coca-Cola’s new products are more popular in the consumer market.

It is not surprising that “Happy Water” is involved in wine, as the interaction between herbal tea and beer has also attracted attention. It is reported that Wanglaoji, a leading Chinese herbal tea company, has classified beer categories among the 100 newly applied trademarks. In this regard, the person in charge of Wang Laoji said that the company registered the trademark only to protect intellectual property rights, and there is currently no plan to market beer products.

However, a reporter from Beijing Commercial Daily found in the official flagship store of Guangyao Baiyunshan that Wanglaoji already had craft beer, Jibei, but the sales of this product were bleak, with monthly sales of only 3.

Yin Kai, the founder of Chaoyinhui (Shanghai) Brand Management Co., Ltd., believes that although Wanglaoji has had a dispute over management rights, he has always done a good job in trademark protection. Regarding the 32 categories of beer, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group applied for and was approved for registration in 1992 and 1995. Since then, it has continued to apply for a large number of trademarks in 32 categories. Therefore, Wang Lo Kat’s response does not rule out the possibility of his involvement in beer.

The company that loves liquor trademarks is also Genki Forest. In April this year, Yuanqi Forest registered “Liquor Gas Forest” and other liquor trademarks. The reporter further learned through Tianyan Check that in the international classification of Yuanqi Forest’s trademark information, there are a total of 1,365 “32 categories-beer and beverages” and a total of 474 “33 categories-alcohol”. Prior to this, Yuanqi Forest invested in Shanghai Bishan Beer Co., Ltd. and Beijing Guanyun Technology Co., Ltd. in February and March this year, respectively, and entered the beer and liquor double track.

Break the circle for profit

From Coca-Cola to Genki Forest, the enthusiasm of various beverage companies to sell alcohol is unabated. The main reason is to find new profit growth points outside of its own category.

Regarding Coca-Cola, some people in the industry believe that, in addition to improving the strategy of all-category beverages, beverage companies’ selling alcohol is more likely to seek to increase the company’s business under conditions of unsatisfactory performance. According to the 2020 financial report, Coca-Cola’s revenue last year was 33 billion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year decline of 11%. In addition, according to Coca-Cola’s 2021 quarterly report, the company achieved a net profit of US$2.25 billion in the first quarter of this year, a year-on-year decrease of 19%.

With the decline in the performance of beverage companies, the temperature of the beverage market remains unchanged. According to Tmall data in 2020, the search volume of product keywords such as “micro-drinking” and “fruit wine” has increased by about 70% year-on-year. Tmall liquor turnover data in 2020 shows that the overall year-on-year growth rate of wine is 40%, the growth rate of fruit wine is 70%, and the growth rate of pre-mixed wine is 60%.

Yin Kai believes that the alcohol products and self-owned beverage products of beverage companies have a considerable degree of overlap in the three dimensions of target groups, channels and consumption scenarios. At the same time, in terms of supply chain management and quality control, beverage companies have a crushing advantage over new startups. Compared with traditional wine companies, beverage companies have obvious advantages in consumer taste trend research and brand promotion.

Do consumers pay?

Beverage companies have set off a craze for selling alcohol, but what is concerned is whether these “foreign wines” can last and whether consumers will pay for it.

Industry insiders believe that from the beginning of Wahaha’s entry into the wine track in 2013, and now that young talents such as Yuanqi Forest hit the wine market, the layout of beverage companies in the wine industry tends to have a rapid momentum at the beginning, but the wine market needs long-term layout and deep cultivation , The alcohol products of beverage companies can arouse the curiosity of consumers, but they may not be able to retain consumers.

In the comment section of Coca-Cola sparkling wine new products, consumers have mixed feelings about the product. Some consumers say that the new product has a refreshing taste, low sugar and low fat, and another part of the consumer believes that the new product is “nothing but nothing” and “just passed.”

In addition, a person in charge of the supermarket beverage area told reporters that cross-border products such as new Coca-Cola sparkling wines will be considered when purchasing. Because this type of product will attract more curiosity to consumers, it can also be called a “traffic product”, but the product has not yet been launched in the supermarket, and its offline sales are difficult to predict, because the increase in online sales is not It means that offline is still popular.

Regarding the impact of beverage companies’ entry into the wine track on traditional wine companies, Yin Kai believes that most beverage companies are optimistic about low-alcohol wines and have little interest in high-grade wines. The low-alcohol body weight accounts for a very low proportion of the entire wine industry, so it will not have an impact on traditional liquor companies, but it will pose a certain threat to the beer industry. For pre-mixed and newly created low-alcohol wine companies, although they have taken root on the low-alcohol wine track, they still face pressure from many new entrants.

In the view of beer marketing expert Fang Gang, the future trend of beverage companies’ wine making is still difficult to see. After all, the boundary between wine and beverages is blurring.

Steps to make grilled beef roll with guise leaves Marinated meat with ingredients including lemongrass, ginger, dried onion, garlic, chili, chopped bay leaves along with 1.5 teaspoons of seasoning seeds, 1 teaspoon of fish sauce, 1 teaspoon of MSG, 1 teaspoon of pepper powder, ½ spoon of cooking oil, mix well, leave for 30 minutes to fully infuse the spices. Then spread out the leaves, put 1 teaspoon of meat on the outside of the leaves, roll them up, you can use a toothpick to skewer to keep the grilled beef in position or use the onion leaves blanched in boiling water to tie. Continue until you run out of ingredients. Grilled beef roll with guise leaves: – Bake in the oven: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees for 5-10 minutes. Next, use a brush to lightly brush a layer of sesame oil or cooking oil on the tray and roll the surface and bake for 15 minutes to meet the requirements. – Grilled with charcoal: The best way to make grilled beef with lolot leaves is to grill with charcoal. Fan red coal, then arrange grilled beef with guise leaves on the grill, use a brush to brush a thin layer of oil and put it on a charcoal grill, keep the coals at a moderate temperature, turn your hands evenly when grilling so that the beef rolls are cooked evenly. without burning. It takes about 20 minutes to smell good. Cooked beef rolls with bay leaves are placed on a plate, served hot with raw vegetables, noodles, lemon garlic fish sauce or chili sauce. Grilled beef roll with guise leaves is a particularly delicious dish (Illustrated photo) How to choose good beef: You should note that you should not buy pre-ground beef at the butcher shops because it is difficult to know if it is fresh ground beef or not. It is best for mothers to choose their own piece of beef and ask the seller to grind it for you or bring it home to ensure the quality of the meat. In fact, small traders use many ways to turn pork and buffalo meat into beef. There are even pieces of rotten meat, which are “enchanted” to become delicious dishes “sloppy” in people’s daily meals without knowing anything. Through the reference process as well as the experience of housewives, it is not too difficult to distinguish what is good beef and what is bad beef. If it is real, fresh beef, it will look dark red on the outside, the meat is hunted and sliced ​​with adhesion and elasticity. When the seller is selling, you should pay attention to the cut inside. If the same color, the color is still fresh, then you can rest assured 50%. Particularly with fake beef will not look fresh, if it is pork it will be stronger than beef. If it is buffalo meat, the color of the meat is dark red, not bright red. This is an important trick in distinguishing fake or real beef that mothers should pay attention to observe. But that’s not all, the trick to choosing good beef is when you buy it, slice it thinly and soak it in water. After about 10-15 minutes, take it out and see, if the meat only loosens but the water is still white, it means that it is real beef. But if the piece of meat changes color to pink and white, and the color of the water also changes, it is 100% fake beef with pork. Eating these foods poses a huge risk to family and community health. In particular, when cooking delicious beef, it will have the aroma of beef, a bit stale, but if it is fake beef, there will be a bad smell of pork (because pork eats bran when cooking has an unpleasant odor).

Castiglione di Sicilia seen from above. Beautiful old village Perched on the cliffs on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, the small village of Castiglione di Sicilia overlooks the spectacular Alcantara valley, where deep pools with silver-white cliffs stand out against deep green trees and clear waterfalls squeeze. Etna is famous as Europe’s largest active volcano, attractive by scattered lava caves, pine forests and old lava flows. All create the majestic and special scenery of this area. Many visitors come here to experience activities such as hiking, rafting, canyoning, biking, horseback riding and lounging on the trails, through the dark lava-colored hills. Forests, olive groves, orange groves, hazelnut plantations and wine estates are scattered around the village, creating a pleasant rural atmosphere. Castiglione is known as the “city of wine” – a giant sculpture in the shape of a barrel and wine glass located at the entrance to the village. Thanks to the presence of many wineries, farms, restaurants, pubs, it is also a prime destination for food and wine tours. There are now more than 50 wineries in the region that produce and market wines internationally. Like many ancient villages in Italy, Castiglione di Sicilia consists of many “layered” houses on the hillside, bound together by small streets paved with lava stone. In addition to the charming scenery, this place is especially attractive because of the cultural heritage left over from the Middle Ages, reminiscent of an ancient Italy familiar in literature and art. Winding forest paths will lead you past crumbling Greek fortresses and Byzantine chapels with secret tunnels. According to many documents, Castiglione di Sicilia was founded on the ashes of prehistoric settlements in 403 BC by refugees from the coastal settlement of Naxos, near modern Taormina. Its name derives from the “Lion Castle”, Castiglione’s coat of arms still features two lions standing guard. For centuries it was a vibrant and powerful fief, one of Sicily’s most prosperous and strategic outposts. Roads and walls are made of dark lava cobblestone, while aristocratic residences are adjacent to modest houses. Located along the hillside, the town is divided into several districts at different elevations. The old center was a labyrinth of cobbled alleyways and buildings with gates decorated with gargoyles. Old dilapidated houses in Castiglione di Sicilia. Wish to be restored Despite its unique beauty, Castiglione di Sicilia recently made the world “shocked” when offering old houses here for 1 euro, equivalent to 1 cup of coffee. This is because in this town there are about 900 abandoned houses. About half have been destroyed and will be given away for a symbolic price of 1 euro (~1.2 USD). The rest are in better condition and will be sold cheaply, starting from 4,000 – 5,000 euros. The reason is that many of the town’s former residents have migrated to Australia and South America in search of a brighter future. Their descendants never returned, leaving many houses in ruins, the doorways covered with moss and prickly pear branches. The prolonged Covid-19 epidemic and tourism stagnation made the scene even more dreary because most of the old houses are located in the oldest parts of the town. For example, Giudecca, the Jewish quarter is full of abandoned stone houses with thick, dilapidated walls. Most of the empty buildings in this area have a unique appearance, shaped like small turrets, with various entrances from different streets. That’s why Mayor Antonino Camarda undertook an ambitious project to breathe new life into his village, whose population has dropped from 14,000 in the early 1900s to just 3,000 today. He told CNN: “We have a huge architectural legacy to rescue, filled with history. Over time, too many people have gone, leaving behind picturesque old houses, many houses even date back to the Renaissance.” Hopefully with such a “shock price”, the old houses in Castiglione di Sicilia will soon be noticed by investors and the village will soon be revived.

The late People’s Artist Y Moan. Musician Tran Khanh Nam explains that Y Moan’s voice is created by the basalt red soil nature of the Central Highlands with wild boisterous winds, warmed in the depths of the sacred old forests, not by horror. through academia. In Y Moan’s voice, many elements converge: a tenor, not only soaring but also powerful and dramatic, including low notes; a burning folk vocal (pop – rock); and a clear, gentle voice with a long, soft, and gentle flight with lyrical notes. “Y Moan subconsciously knew the difference. No matter what kind of song a musician writes, Y Moan will sing in his own way. Even Y Moan’s folk song still sings in his own way. Therefore, not every musical work Y Moan can handle successfully, in terms of vocal technique, only when touching the cultural source of the Central Highlands, Y Moan’s voice is truly ecstatic and delicate. and fullness in handling each level of musical work”, musician Tran Khanh Nam shared. Y Moan sings the most adventurous and magical song, that is when Y Moan sings his own fire, sings among the mountains and grasslands spreading, sings between the faces smeared with sunlight and in the smell of sweat and moisture. moldy, singing in the midst of the wild winds of the sky. Only then will Y Moan live fully for himself. Freedom to run and fly around. Y Moan has conquered listeners by its subtlety in depicting the deep, wild nature, longing, and beauty of the highlands. It was strange, wandering between heaven and earth in the Central Highlands, listening to Y Moan sing: “Walking on this earth alone/ Following in the footsteps of his father every day/ Alone across rivers, through mountains/ Looking for the sun and looking for lullabies For thousands of years”, I still miss the forest, I still remember the feeling: “I am like a lost bird flying on a high hill / I am like a wild animal wandering in the deep forest / Like a river longing for words / I am like a raindrop longing for words”, and then fell into another dreamland: “Here in the steppe, every herd of cows racing to the sun, / Melting the Dinh Nam trumpet, far away from Chu Prong mountain, far away from the wide sea / I was born , was born here, my father was also born here / Oh M’Drak, M’Drak”. Not stopping there, through his high but warm voice, loud but deep, wild but civilized, fierce but deep voice, Y Moan also brings the whole primeval forest covering the stage in urban cities, when singing. : “I want to forget the month and day/ Father goes to collect sweet berries/ Gives me relief from hunger overnight/ I want to forget my bare feet/ Father goes to collect every grain of rice/ Give me a dinner/ Oh day, thin shoulders / Trembling leaning against the trees. Oh time, forget it / Dad’s bulky legs walking in the wilderness…”. Unconsciously, listeners feel like they are seeing their hands, feet and whole body suddenly grow roots, dark green trees, to suddenly realize that humanity has the same starting point, that is from the forest. “Y Moan’s voice has an extraordinary inner strength, sings tirelessly, sings without the gap of time and space (sometimes on stage, sometimes around the fire), passionately singing this song through the song. all night,” said musician Tran Khanh Nam. Poet Vuong Tung Cuong said that every time he heard Y Moan sing, he saw a forest civilization. “In that voice, the forest is not only culture, the forest is also civilization. Brilliant but mysterious, like Y Moan’s own voice”, poet Vuong Tung Cuong commented. “From the years when Y Moan was famous (the 90s of the last century) until now, the Central Highlands has had many talented singers next to him, even his children followed in the footsteps of their father, but could not have a good voice and strange as Y Moan”, said musician Tran Khanh Nam admiringly. That’s how Y Moan is, a Yang ban vocalist, a wild nomad who spends his life spreading and praising the beauty of the Central Highlands mountains and forests. Old as fire, and new as fire, Y Moan is not easy to decipher.

The song resounds in the summer wind: From the Lumbini garden the Buddha was born The fresh carefree flower blooms with the fragrance of the ten directions The city of Kapilavastu, the wind cheered, and the sky was bright People joyfully announce good news Prince Siddhartha was born. Lumbini – The sacred garden was officially recognized by Unesco as a world heritage site in 1997.

Through the control gate, leave shoes outside, go inside, see a white building. White building At first, it was very strange to see the white building, but when I went inside, I realized that the building was built around to protect the excavated brick foundation to avoid further destruction. Because the camera could not be used, the crew could not record pictures, and memories could not be redrawn. Next to it is a stone that is said to be the footprints of the crown prince, protected in a glass cage. On the wall there is a stone bas-relief talking about the prince’s birth. Looking at the relief, you will see the queen with her hand on the branch of no concern and the birth of the crown prince on her side. Being able to sit quietly for a few minutes, no matter how far apart, the time apart seems to have not existed. But why this footprint is so respected, the answer lies at the base of the Bodhi tree by the Nile River. Next to the building is a stone pillar built by King Ashoka in 249 BC. King Ashoka Pillar Sit back here to meditate, more than 2500 years have passed, all traces remain, excavated and identified by archaeologists. If the location is not determined, everything is still there, but completely lost in the human mind. Confused about whether one person is present in this life, changing the outlook of many lives, just by saying one thing that everyone knows “blood is red, tears are salty” but it seems that everyone never knew. Called rebirth in the footsteps of Buddha. Following in the footsteps of Buddha… Looking across the lake is the Bodhi tree, formerly the tree of no concern. Legend has it that Queen Mada bathed in the pond, and when she went up to the tree to worry, she gave birth to a crown prince. There is no statue here, perhaps afraid of losing the beauty of the landscape, so the statue of the crown prince died and built another place. Came here without trying to walk a little more, so walking in the noonday sun, the group recorded a more brilliant golden image. Statue of the newborn Buddha Heaven and earth, Unique self. The world necessarily, Birth, aging, sickness and death. There are many ways to explain, if you don’t understand it, it’s okay, the conscious things can’t be separated, let life quietly answer. Is there anything outside the cycle of birth, aging, sickness and death? Leaving the garden of Lumbini, went to the city of Kapilavastu (Kapilavastu). Kapilavastu Citadel Kapila city lived peacefully in the life of the first king, who was happy Shakyamuni he had just been born. All the birds sing to celebrate the fragrant flowers and leaves. Bright rays of light shine throughout the mountains and rivers. Tree of no concern so far sentient beings are always reminded, where Lumbini still records how many happy days. Citadel of Ca-pil-la-vai is currently restoring the background of many brick foundations located at the palaces… Passing a place to see the prince standing in front of the room door, silently bid farewell. Once upon a time read Golden light by Uncle Vo Dinh Cuong, the passage about when the crown prince heard the voice: “ The hour has come! The hour has come!” Three times He went out, three times He came back. But the last time with determination, he put the hem of his shirt on his head, pulled back the curtain, and stepped out…” The places where the foundation of the citadel has been excavated, although it has not been determined where, but there is no place here that does not have that image. Go gradually to the gate of the East city, where the prince crossed the city to become ordained. Standing on the ruined brick floor looking to the East, imagine a Kien Trac horse soaring through the city gate like pictures cherished by many people since childhood, a way beyond the ceiling. Not enough time to get to the Anoma River, standing on the city floor and looking at the horizon. “The front is full of dark green water and forest! The majestic scene here makes people shiver: The Anoma River (Anoma) surges and waves. The message on the other side of the bank, each mountain range overlaps. on top of each other. Desolate, desolate, surrounded on all sides. Not a single human footprint has been left here! (Excerpt) Golden light – Vo Dinh Cuong) The Anoma stream undulating green reed banks, Looking at Shakyamuni’s azure water, his heart was steadfast, Come back, let me enjoy the golden light, I have determined to find the bright path to save sentient beings, … Anoma still remembers to set a shining example, We now vow to follow Compassion. Farewell to Kapilavastu, now also go to the East. The direction is sometimes not important, but the destination is in which direction. (Excerpt) “Travel to Indian Relics” – 2019)

Those who have tasted Kumis say it has a similar taste to kefir. If you like yogurt, will definitely appreciate Kumis. Gins from elephant dung. It may sound hard to believe, but elephant dung is the key ingredient to creating a unique gin. Normally, elephants eat a lot, but they only absorb a very small amount, the rest is excreted in feces. Raw material manure will be dried, undergo sterilization process. Finally used to produce gin. After processing, the ingredients are left with only the smell of fruits and herbs. Elephant dung gin is extremely delicious. It easily conquers even the most connoisseur of drinkers. Even, it is likened to “carrying the taste of Africa in every drop of beer”. However, not everyone dares to drink this wine.. Pizza beer. This unique beer is the perfect combination of beer and pizza. In the production process, people will use a pizza to put it in a filter bag, dip it in beer. When the cake soaks, its flavor will quickly blend with the beer, creating a great drink. Unfortunately, the Pizza brewery stopped operating, withdrew from the market in 2013. If you’re lucky, you can find Pizza beer in antique liquor stores, instead of being sold on the supermarket shelves. town. Cocktail Sourtoe.

Li Bai (701-762) was one of the most famous poets of the Tang Dynasty in China. He is not only known as a great poet, he is also known as “Zu Trung Tien” because of his rare wine-loving style. In particular, in his poems, there was once a cup of wine that could not be exhausted no matter how he drank it: “The ladle of the falcon, the cup of the parrot, one hundred five thirty-six thousand days, one day should be inclined three hundred cups.” (Tuong Duong ca). The cup of wine “drinking forever” really exists in history. Photo: Sina Archaeologists have always been very interested in the “parrot cup” or “parrot cup” that Li Bai refers to, but such artifacts have never been excavated. It was not until the discovery of an ancient Jin Dynasty (317 – 420) tomb in 1965 that archaeologists found the strange wine glass described in these poems. Invention ahead of its time In 1965, archaeologists discovered a family tomb in Xiangshan, Nanjing. Based on the stele unearthed, the archaeological team judged that the owner of the tomb belonged to the Vuong family, one of the four largest clans of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Here, in addition to finding a large number of burial items, which are of great value to the study of family culture and funeral customs of the Wei and Jin dynasties, scientists were also very surprised. when unearthed a large snail shell in the grave . The cup was unearthed. Photo: Sina The appearance of the Anh Vu snail caused a lot of controversy in the professional world, because this was the first time they unearthed a strange artifact. Through research, the experts eventually discovered: It turns out that this is the famous “parrot cup” in history, this cup is originally made from Anh Vu snail shell. Perhaps, the owner of the tomb is also a person with a passion for wine like poet Ly Bach, so he decided to bring this cup to his final resting place. This is the first time people have unearthed a parrot cup, so experts are very interested and want to study why the parrot cup can contain such a large amount of alcohol, because from the outside, this is really a normal Anh Vu snail shell, nothing special. The secret inside To find out the answer to this problem, experts decided to take an X-ray of the cup, it turned out that the image of “300 cup tilting day” in Li Bai’s poetry was not a product of pompous tricks, it’s true. Inside the parrot cup there are lots of naturally created nets that occupy the dense interior of the prison and, all hidden nets are connected by small holes. When the ancients poured wine into the parrot cup, the wine would gradually seep into the net through small holes. In this way, when the ancients poured wine from a parrot cup, the wine inside would not be poured out all at once, but flowed out little by little under the influence of air pressure.In this way, it gives the illusion that the alcohol in it never runs out. Recreate the image inside the parrot cup. Photo: Sina After the experts learned this secret, they felt great admiration for the wisdom of the ancients. The working principle of the parrot cup is very similar to today’s activated carbon, it uses the spatial structure inside the object to achieve the purpose of slowing down the flow. Drinking with a small glass of wine with such a long pouring power is very elegant and rich in emotion, so the parrot cup is always sought after by antique wine lovers. The parrot cup is so popular, but why has it disappeared from history? Experts believe that the cause is due to the main material of the cup – the Anh Vu snail, which has a very small number. This animal lives on the seabed several hundred meters deep in the tropics and subtropics, so it is not easy to find.

This is the personal skin care tips that Jumy Phuong Anh has used for a long time. “Do not use day cream when wearing integrated sunscreen” According to Phuong Anh, in case you have used sunscreen products with integrated nourishing functions such as providing moisture, enhancing pH balance, and alkalinity on the skin, stop using the cream. Nha Phuong’s sister analyzed that applying too much cosmetics during the day, especially in the summer, will clog pores, causing acne breakouts. During the day, the skin should be kept clear to prevent blemishes and enlarge pores. “Standard cleaning but still acne, please replace makeup remover with makeup remover oil” Choosing the wrong makeup remover is also the reason why many women still have pimples and pores when they clean them thoroughly. This problem will subside and go away when you change makeup remover to oily water. Make-up remover oil is very gentle and completely dissolves makeup. Note, when using makeup remover, you must rinse with cleanser to avoid oil clogging the pores. “Do not run the cleanser into the eye area” Phuong Anh shared that running the face wash into the skin around the eyes will easily form wrinkles, moreover, this is a very sensitive skin, not good at the impact of electronic devices. “When you are not sure to exfoliate damaged skin with physical products, use a chemical product containing 2% AHA” Product to remove physical damaged cells ie after applying to the skin, you massage will see the outer layer of peeling skin, rinse with clean water is finished. Meanwhile, chemical products will take time to absorb, causing damaged cells to disappear without peeling off. When afraid of physical products that can erode the skin, the face is vulnerable to sunlight, products containing AHA also have the same effect, but the mechanism is completely opposite. Exfoliate the damaged cells periodically once a week to help youthful skin, reduce wrinkles, pimples. “Give up the habit of washing your face in the afternoon and then before going to bed to apply lotion” Phuong Anh shares that, the time when the best nutrients penetrate into the skin, is when the skin has just been cleaned. As the facial skin is completely clean at this time, the pores expand to make it easier for nutrients to penetrate deeper. The habit of washing your face and applying lotion apart from each other easily makes the skin stick again, not achieve the best effect. “Apply eye cream with ring finger to avoid wrinkles in the eye area” Many people have a habit of applying cream with index finger, the force of this finger is too strong compared to the fragility and softness of the skin around the eyes. Apply the cream too hard on the skin around the eyes to accidentally form blemishes, which can easily cause wrinkles. Therefore, for a change, should apply eye cream with the ring finger. “When applying lotion or massage, do the opposite direction or pat.” The face of each person tends to sag with age, the older it is, the sagging facial skin causes aging and less sharpness. Therefore, the application of lotion, face wash or any other beauty method on the face should be done from the bottom to contribute to the firmness of the skin. Skin care according to the above 10 tips, Phuong Anh possesses a youthful beauty that challenges time.

In 2007, Mr. Kang was diagnosed with liver cancer and had to remove one third of his liver. After a successful surgery, he tried to finish the unfinished scenes of the movie he was participating in and moved with his family to live in the countryside. With all his energy to live, having been quietly fighting cancer for more than 10 years, the health of the actor Descendants of the Sun has been increasingly improved. He regularly exercises, eating according to a diet to maintain his fitness. For liver cancer, there are many factors that can lead to them from drinking alcohol, obesity, smoking to the body’s existence of many other underlying diseases. The liver is the largest organ in the body and is located on the right side of the abdomen. It is responsible for performing important functions such as helping your body to flush toxins out. Furthermore, it also allows the body to digest fats, vitamins and other important nutrients. However, once the liver has a problem, it will be very difficult to do its job well. Liver cancer is when liver cells that are old and damaged tend to overgrow and continue to multiply instead of dying. Liver cancer can be primary or secondary. Primary cancer originates in the liver while secondary liver cancer can be caused by cancer cells from other organs such as the chest or lungs moving to the liver. Furthermore, it can also lead to other conditions such as high cholesterol levels, enlarged liver, bleeding and visceral bruising. Symptoms of liver cancer are usually abdominal pain, jaundice, nausea, fatigue, itching, back pain, fever, and unintentional weight loss. Who can get liver cancer? People with diabetes and hepatitis, people with a family history of liver cancer, drinking a lot of alcohol leading to cirrhosis, people with low immunity with HIV or AIDS, and obesity may also get it. this disease. In particular, smokers are at higher risk of liver cancer. Treatment for liver cancer Treatment for liver cancer will depend on the stage of the disease and the location of the tumor. The common treatment is chemotherapy, where the drug is administered orally or intravenously to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy can then be used with high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells. Another option for treating the disease is surgery. If the tumor is a small malignant tumor, the doctor removes the cancer cells and some of the healthy liver tissue surrounding it. A liver transplant is done when the liver is completely damaged. Resection therapy may be used. The doctor then selects heat, lasers, or injections to kill the cancer cells. The treatment can even be done by embolism, which stops blood supply to cancer cells and allows them to die on their own.

According to the latest statistics from the Traffic Police Department (Traffic Police), the Ministry of Public Security, in 2020, the national functional forces detected 803 cases of splitting, swinging, and running at high speed with 1,807 subjects. Thereby, prosecuted 12 cases, 69 subjects. Although the traffic police and other forces have dealt with aggressively, this situation is still showing signs of increasing. Specifically, only in the first quarter of 2021, the competent force detected 326 racing-related cases. Typically, in early April, while conducting patrol and control on Highway 23B (in Dai Thinh commune), the working group of the Me Linh District Police (Hanoi City) discovered a group of young people. Motorcycle drivers show signs of congregation, causing public disorder. Immediately after that, the Working Group deployed a squad to block and hold the target group, detain 13 vehicles. At the police station, a group of 13 youth and teenagers claimed to have gathered to drink alcohol. Notably, in the group of teenagers who violated, some children under 16 years old still drive a motorcycle with a capacity of over 50 cm3. More seriously, on the morning of March 19, hundreds of “monster drivers” ride motorbikes on the Ho Chi Minh City – Long Thanh – Dau Giay expressway screaming the throttle, blocking the highway to race. This incident took place right in the rush to restore traffic safety and order. Determining the seriousness of the case, Ho Chi Minh City police prosecuted the criminal case “Organizing illegal racing” and summoned the subjects related to the case to prosecute according to regulations. legal regulations. The statistics and cases mentioned above show that a part of drivers’ consciousness is still poor, especially in cases of defying the law, despite the danger to their lives. body and community. According to the Traffic Police Department, in our country today, illegal racing is basically divided into two types: spontaneous and organized. In big cities, it is not uncommon to see young people driving cars at speeding speeds, swinging, swinging, hitting heads, chasing each other on the road or racing illegally. It is these errors that easily lead to serious traffic accidents causing death or even death of many people. In order to bypass the authorities, recently, illegal racing groups often take advantage of locations far from the headquarters of the functional unit or the area adjacent to the area. In the process of preparing to organize the race, the members participating in the “night storm” often use social networks, set up secret associations, private groups, to call for gatherings and pointers, thus causing many difficulties for functional forces in information capture and capture. Facing the above situation, the Ministry of Public Security has just directed the national traffic police and the police of the provinces and cities to increase patrol, control and handle illegal racing. Accordingly, the Ministry of Public Security requires the local police to continue strictly implementing the instructions of the Ministry of Public Security on the prevention and control of illegal racing. Urgently investigate and resolve new cases and apply shortened procedures to coordinate with legal protection agencies (Procuracies, Courts) to quickly prosecute and strictly adjudicate the subjects. illegally organizing, racing, disrupting public order. In some places, the legal agency has proposed a mobile trial in the same area with a number of typical cases to deter and educate. At the same time, through professional activities and through social media, mass media, national population database, surveillance camera system, human camera people … to determine time, mode, tricks; to map the routes, places where objects often organize, gather illegally racing, disturb public order to prevent and stop right from the moment of rekindling … Strengthen investigating, detecting the leader, organizing, illegally racing, causing disturbance to public order for strict handling according to the provisions of law. In addition to the entry of the national safety force, the core solution to completely end the illegal racing situation in general and the racing organized by young people and teenagers in particular, is there should be people’s orientation to sports, to be physically active. The propaganda of the law on the prevention and control of illegal racing needs to apply to all residents in residential communities, so that they know it is a violation of the law, thereby consciously managing education. My children are not participating; proactively detect and report to authorities when they know information about racing gatherings to promptly take measures to prevent them. From the experience in many countries, the authorities need to study the sport model, add a controlled “playground” for those who love adventure, experience thrills at races. licensed vehicles are organized methodically, securely and safely.

When the Covid-19 epidemic broke out around the world, the need for a private, private, but equally luxurious and comfortable place to live became hotter. Therefore, the magnificent castles in Europe have become a sought-after object of the rich, with equally expensive prices. “Consumers seek privacy with open spaces, and private mansions are the best choice,” said Lodovico Pignatti Morano, manager at auction unit Sotheby’s International Realty Italy. 19, demand is definitely increasing “. Mr. Morano said that different types of castle real estate are quite new to Asian buyers because it is difficult to find similar castles in the region. Besides, owning a private castle demonstrates its own class for the tycoon. The immense castle is a suitable place to entertain friends, party indoors and satisfy the rich’s special passions, such as the cellar and private vineyard in the castle. European ancient castles have become the favorite real estate object of Asian tycoons, especially mainland China. Photo: Handout. European castle prices also vary widely, depending on the location, area and condition of the castle. A castle in Italy has a price ranging from 7-20 million euros (8.3 – 23 million USD). Castle in Scotland is priced at 225,000 – 8 million pounds (314,115 – 11 million USD). If you buy a castle in France, the amount must spend between 700,000 – 50 million euros (831,000 – 59 million USD). Mr. Pignatti Morano said that a lot of people buy castles in Italy come from Taiwan (China). “The buyer’s need to own a private castle is very high, especially for Taiwanese buyers. They like the classic look of a traditional castle like a turret, bell tower and surrounding moat,” he said. to speak. In addition, customers also request that the castle is equipped with modern amenities such as a gym, swimming pool and movie room. “Buyers want to own the beautiful, unique look of a castle, but the interior does not affect their modern lifestyle,” said Mr. Morano. For real estate investors, he added, they often choose castles with vineyards and fruit trees on campus in the Tuscan region north of the capital Rome. There, they will make their own wine or olive oil for a small profit. Owning a castle can cost anywhere from a few million to several tens of millions of dollars, not including the cost of restoration and annual maintenance. Photo: Handout. “The castle real estate market is attracting renewed interest in recent years from both domestic and foreign buyers,” said Alexis Caquet, chief executive officer of Engel & Volkers Paris. Caquet said the company’s main customer base includes Chinese, American and South American buyers. There are also Europeans, in which the French account for more than 60% of transactions. “Chinese buyers are very active. They especially love the castles with their own wineries. Chinese tycoons often find castles with vineyards and have reputations available. In Scotland, the demand to buy castles also increased sharply. According to Savills, demand for real estate in the country, including castle real estate, has quadrupled last year. Mr. Jamie Macnab, head of the Scottish suburban housing division at Savills, said demand for properties in the Scottish suburbs increased significantly over the past year. “Scottish castles have attracted buyers worldwide,” he added. “The castles are the most prestigious asset, but the market has always been doing well over the past few years, this could be a good investment,” said Macnab. Refurbishing castles in Scotland could cost tycoons an additional £ 1 million ($ 1.3 million), while annual maintenance costs at least from £ 50,000 ($ 69,000).

Seek to go public one after another

There are a total of 19 liquor-listed companies on the A-share market, and their stock prices are “steadily rising”, but there has been no liquor circulation company. The listing of Huazhi Liquor opened a new journey in the liquor circulation industry. In the past two months, Baichuan Famous Brands and Jiuxian.com have hit A shares to make this drama even more interesting.

On the evening of April 8th, the official website of the China Securities Regulatory Commission disclosed the prospectus of Jiuxian.com, which planned to issue 99 million shares on the Growth Enterprise Market and raise 1 billion yuan for the construction of three projects including smart warehousing and to supplement operating funds.

More than two months ago, the official website of the China Securities Regulatory Commission showed that Baichuan famous products have been filed and counseled with the Anhui Securities Regulatory Bureau and intend to apply for listing on the GEM. It is understood that Baichuan Mingpin and Huaan Securities signed the “Initial Public Offering Counseling Agreement between Baichuan Mingpin Supply Chain Co., Ltd. and Huaan Securities Co., Ltd.”.

Jin Yufeng, managing partner of Centaline Fund, told a reporter from China Business Daily that the shortage of funds for liquor circulation companies is the consensus of the industry, and the core demand for supplementary operating funds or most corporate financing. Liquor industry analyst Cai Xuefei also told reporters that in my country’s liquor industry chain, the circulation links have always lacked the right to speak and upstream bargaining power. They need to rely on low prices and scale advantages to improve their competitiveness. Contribute to the realization of large-scale expansion.

In fact, capital is optimistic about the alcohol circulation industry that has already begun. In December 2020, Jiu Xiaoer, a liquor delivery platform in the same city, announced the completion of Series A financing. The investors were Tencent and Sequoia Capital. Subsequently, Baode shares announced the acquisition of approximately 90% of the shares of Mingpin Family, and signed a gambling agreement, Mingpin Family’s “backdoor listing” dream has finally come true.

In Cai Xuefei’s view, the cooperation between capital and liquor circulation channels is nothing more than getting what they need. Capital is able to enter the wine market and extend its reach to the field of consumer consumption; and wine circulation companies can quickly realize the capitalization process and enhance their competitiveness after obtaining financial support.

The “past and present” of the two

What is the history of the two liquor circulation companies that have revealed their A-share listing ambitions? It is understood that Baichuan Famous Brand, established in 1997, is an out-and-out “veteran” in the liquor circulation industry, and its founder, Jia Guangqing, is also an industry leader. Its biggest highlight is the “thigh” of Pang Wuliangye. According to insiders, Baichuan Famous Brand started as a Wuliangye distributor and is a platform provider of Wuliangol products in six provinces in East China. Wuliangol’s revenue accounts for nearly 50% of Baichuan Famous Products’ revenue. In 2018, Wuliangye Co., Ltd. will increase by 1.853 billion yuan, and Jia Guangqing has become one of Wuliangye’s shareholders.

Is Baichuan Famous’s seeking to go public this time to achieve national expansion, and can its own resources match it? Jin Yufeng speculated that it would be of little significance for Baichuan Famous Brands to continue to cultivate the region or expand nationwide. And because it has a high reputation in the Wuliangye system and the national distributor circle, if it expands nationally, it will have a better guarantee of resources.

But Jiuxian.com is different. It is understood that Jiuxian.com was established in 2009, specializing in the Internet retail of alcoholic beverages, and tried to expand offline in 2014. In 2015, Jiuxian.com successfully landed on the New Third Board, but its performance suffered successive losses. It was eventually delisted in 2017 because it failed to release the financial report in time.

What’s interesting is that Jiuxian.com intends to issue 99 million shares of stock this time, accounting for 24.15% of the total share capital, and raise 1 billion yuan. Based on this calculation, Jiuxian.com was valued at about 4.14 billion yuan at this time, which is an impairment of about 36% compared with the 6.5 billion valuation when it was listed on the New Third Board in 2015.

Jin Yufeng revealed that the list of Chinese unicorn companies in 2018 released by the Foresight Industry Research Institute previously showed that 1919 ranked 150th with a valuation of US$1.077 billion, but there was no Jiuxian.com among the 203 unicorns on the list. It can be seen that its valuation has fallen a lot from the 6.5 billion yuan when it went public in 2015. Jin Yufeng believes that after 1919, the valuation of Alibaba’s investment of 2 billion yuan has become about 7 billion yuan, but Jiuxian.com has raised a total of 1.8 billion yuan, and the current valuation is still only about 4.1 billion yuan. This shows that the market is not optimistic about the business model of Jiuxian.com.

More importantly, the capital shortage of liquor circulation companies has been exposed on Jiuxian.com. The prospectus shows that from 2018 to 2020, Jiuxian.com’s asset-liability ratios were 67.04%, 74.12%, and 70.32%. In 2018 and 2019, the average asset-liability ratio of the liquor circulation industry was 44.65% and 45.51% (data for 2020 has not yet been released).

Jin Yufeng said frankly that the asset-liability ratio of Jiuxian.com is close to the red line of 70%, of which current liabilities are 1.599 billion yuan. It shows that its equity financing is too difficult, the original business expansion and new business development can only rely on debt financing.

Who is more favored by the capital market

One is a long-established wine merchant in the region, and the other is a national wine platform based on online chains. Nowadays, who is more likely to win the favor of the capital market when fighting on the same stage?

From the performance point of view, in 2019, Baichuan famous product revenue was 3.738 billion yuan, and the net profit was 319 million yuan; in the same period, Jiuxian.com’s revenue was 2.997 billion yuan, and the net profit was 81.66117 million yuan. Although Jiuxian.com is a national brand, its scale is slightly lower.

From the perspective of channels, Jin Yufeng revealed that Baichuan Brands has a strong and complete distribution system in East China. Jiuxian.com is slightly embarrassed. With the weakening of online dividends and high customer acquisition costs, the first-mover advantage of online traffic that it originally relied on no longer exists.

Jiuxian.com has also conducted live broadcast exploration. Since March 2020, Jiuxian.com has repeatedly tested live broadcast on the Douyin platform through “Jiuxian.com Lafige (Lafige)”. However, a reporter from China Business Daily found that the price of its Douyin products sold was quite different from the price of the official flagship store on the JD platform Jiuxian.com.

For example, the price of Wuliangye Golden VIP Wine 52% (480ml) Douyin is 1299 yuan, and the price of Jingdong flagship store is 109 yuan; the price of Remy Martin 40% XO Cognac (700ml) Douyin is 1699 yuan, and the price of Jingdong flagship store is 109 yuan. 1499 yuan; 52 degrees art is willing to pay tribute to the Sino-French series Landing (500ml) Douyin price is 458 yuan, Jingdong flagship store price is 598 yuan.

More importantly, the new retail road of Jiuxian.com’s offline expansion is not smooth. A franchisee of Jiuxian.com in Beijing revealed to a reporter from China Business Daily that the company has strict requirements on franchisees. On the one hand, the company requires franchisees to purchase 100% of the goods from the company, and does not give franchisees any power to purchase from outside; on the other hand, the company often requires franchisees to purchase many self-sold products of the company, but the sales of these products are not ideal.

Franchisees such as Huazhi Liquor and China Liquor Chain have all revealed to reporters from China Business Daily that the company requires franchisees to purchase about 80% of their products from the company, and about 20% of their products can be sourced from outside. In addition, Huazhi Liquor sometimes purchases products from franchisees in reverse.

From the perspective of upstream product resources, Baichuan’s famous products can be used as the “thigh” of Wuliangye. The Jiuxian.com prospectus shows that in 2020, Jiuxian.com will purchase a total of 399 million yuan in products from Wuliangye Group and its subsidiaries, accounting for 13.86% of its total purchases; and 307 million yuan in purchases from Maotai Group and its subsidiaries, accounting for 10.66% . In other words, in 2020, the purchase amount of Jiuxian.com from the Maotai and Wuliangye groups accounted for about 1/4 of the total purchase amount, or less than Baichuan famous products.

In addition, the cooperation between Jiuxian.com and wine “big factories” is not solid enough. The prospectus shows that the Maotai Group is not seen in the list of the top five suppliers of Jiuxian.com in 2018 and 2019. In fact, in previous years, Jiuxian.com was “blocked” by Moutai Group and Langjiu Group.

Jin Yufeng believes that the difference between Baichuan Famous Brands and Jiuxian.com’s model is too great, and it is difficult to compare horizontally. Just look at Jiuxian.com, the imagination of its impact on the market is insufficient, and the business model lacks bright spots.

However, recently, the traffic accident has become more serious. According to statistics at the Emergency Department of the Blue Poly Hospital, only since the beginning of April, the department has received 75 cases due to traffic accidents. This also happened similarly at Viet Duc Hospital and other hospitals in Hanoi City.

Serious injuries caused by traffic accidents were taken to the emergency room at Viet Duc Hospital.

“Over 50% of traffic accidents that get tested in the Emergency Department have alcohol levels in the blood. This proves that they used alcohol and caused traffic accidents ”, said Dr. Luong Van Chuong.

What worries Dr. Chuong is that traffic accidents caused by alcohol use often feature much more severe injuries than normal accidents.

It takes manpower and medicine to cure it, but the sequelae are still very heavy

On the task of saving people, with any traffic accident (with loved ones, or without relatives) being brought to the hospital, the doctors must treat them. However, according to Dr. Chuong, when meeting these cases, Khoa had to mobilize many medical doctors to participate in the emergency.

For patients suffering from multiple traumatic accidents, the hospital will have to trigger a red alarm for the whole hospital to the emergency centers, external emergency resuscitation, surgery … Many serious cases must be taken directly to the operating theater. At this time, both to coordinate resuscitation and perform surgery for the patient.

Doctor Luong Van Chuong visits patients with traffic accidents at Green Po Hospital.

On average for each such case, the Emergency Department had to organize a tour with 5 surgical doctors, 2 emergency doctors, 7 nurses… to focus on the patient. In addition, it is necessary to arrange an emergency team on duty at the whole hospital, including: anesthetists, imaging diagnostics (imaging, ultrasound); surgical doctors (neurologists if the patient has traumatic brain injury; gastrointestinal doctor (for patients with abdominal trauma) or orthopedic surgeons (if the patient has fractured limbs); sometimes needed to both the vascular surgeon and the doctor in the Department of Hematology to promptly transfuse if the patient is losing too much blood.

The hospital is dedicated to saving patients from traffic accidents, but it is not always lucky to reach patients, especially traffic accidents caused by alcohol.

“If ordinary people have a traffic accident (if not surprised), reflexively, they usually try to avoid to limit injury, but in cases of alcohol use, they lose control, no mastering behavior …, so injuries are often very severe, not only injuring one organ but often multi-organ “, Dr. Luong Van Chuong analyzed.

“We have received the death cases at the Faculty, especially many deaths on the way to the hospital. This is a real shock to the relatives of the victim”, Head of Emergency Department of St. Paul Hospital share.

With lucky cases of escaping the scythe of death, according to Dr. Luong Van Chuong, the sequelae left behind are also very heavy: Legs and arms are amputated lightly; Severe mental effects (epilepsy, neurological abnormalities), even some people live plants …

Sickness and accident are not said before, but with traffic accidents in general, especially due to alcohol in particular, the point of view of Dr. Chuong is that they can be prevented. More than ever, he hopes to “be unemployed”, no longer have to mobilize the total force for victims of traffic accident.

To do this, Dr. Chuong wants people to be responsible for themselves, their families and the community when participating in traffic by strictly enforcing the Traffic Safety Law, drinking alcohol, not driving. .

“Suggest specialized agencies to tighten the supervision of alcohol use when participating in traffic, strengthen propaganda about the sense of participating in traffic so that people understand not to drive when using alcohol. “, Dr. Luong Van Chuong expressed.

While the wine industry is still in the original development stage of the traditional wine chain, problems such as many intermediate links and lengthy supply chains have caused market chaos with constant fraud and a mixed bag. It was in that primitive age that the liquor e-commerce companies that have since emerged. At the beginning of the rise of these liquor e-commerce companies, Jiuxian.com, established in 2009, undoubtedly picked the first peach.

In addition to online e-commerce, Jiuxian.com officially deployed offline retail channels in 2017 and realized the integration of omni-channel liquor retail online and offline. This also allowed Jiuxian.com to try the confidence brought by the dividend period. In 2015, Jiuxian.com was in the new The company was listed on the third board, but within two years, the company was issued a warning letter by the equity transfer company in the first half of 2017 due to the delay in disclosing the annual report on time, and the listing was terminated at the end of June 2017.

In the upsurge of wine companies going public, after a four-year period of silence, Jiuxian.com recently chose to IPO again. Jiuxian.com has been financing multiple rounds over the years. Prior to this, Sequoia Capital, Oriental Fuhai, Woyan Capital, Huaxing Capital and other institutions also invested more than 1 billion yuan in Jiuxian.com. In recent years, Jiuxian.com has continuously tried new sales models, such as live broadcasts spawned by the epidemic last year, but the problem of profitability has been plagued.

The earliest liquor e-commerce

On April 8, Jiuxian.com mentioned in the GEM prospectus disclosed by Jiuxian.com that relying on its own sales channels and operational capabilities, the number of SKUs for sale on Jiuxian.com’s platform exceeded 20,000, covering more than 1,500 brands in 26 countries around the world. Covers all types of liquors such as white wine, wine, foreign wine, rice wine, and health wine.

Jiuxian.com believes that in the traditional liquor circulation chain, due to the many intermediate links, the long supply chain, and the lack of a branded chain retail platform, the products purchased by the end consumers are often products that have been increased in price. At the same time, due to the market A mixture of fish and dragons, and counterfeiting have long plagued consumers. In this context, consumers pay more and more attention to channel brands, and at the same time, a number of leading alcohol retail companies with brand effects have been born. “As one of the first companies to enter the liquor e-commerce industry, Jiuxian.com uses Internet technology to empower the industry chain, innovate traditional liquor circulation business, deeply integrate online and offline omni-channel + full-category operation models, and effectively solve current consumption The pain point of the purchaser of alcoholic products.”

If you calculate that Jiuxian.com has been in existence for more than 10 years, in 2009, Jiuxian.com entered the liquor Internet retail industry. In 2017, the company formally created a brand chain retail with a strong management model, realizing the integration of omni-channel liquor retail online and offline. , And gradually established two types of offline chain stores, “Jiuxian.com International Famous Wine City” and “Liquor Coming” by way of franchising, and develop brand chains with large stores in small cities, small stores in big cities and different investment strategies.

It is understood that at present, Jiuxian.com’s online channels mainly include self-operated platforms, mobile terminal APPs, as well as third-party e-commerce platforms such as Tmall and JD.com, and various beverage retail flagship stores that cooperate with live sales platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou; Offline channels include “Liquor Coming” and “International Famous Wine City” stores; other supplementary channels include offline brand distribution channels of upstream wineries or brand owners.

As of the end of December 2020, Jiuxian.com’s offline chain stores have reached 897, covering 31 provinces and municipalities across the country.

It is worth noting that with the development of the wine retail industry, there are more and more wine sales channels for consumers to choose from, whether online or offline, and consumers are most concerned about the purchase of wine products. Quality and genuine guarantee issues. IiMedia data shows that in 2020, about 60.8% and 58.0% of consumers expressed their main concerns about product quality assurance and authenticity assurance.

Take liquor sales as an example. Out of trust in brand qualifications, consumers tend to buy in tobacco and liquor franchised stores, but franchised stores are often operated independently by individual merchants and lack endorsement of their credit qualifications. In recent years, with the gradual improvement of consumers’ quality awareness, the establishment of branded chain wine retail enterprises has become an urgent need for the market.

In the past two years, the overall recovery of the liquor industry has been obvious. Even if the epidemic hit hard, the impact on the liquor industry has been minimal. The A-share liquor sector is booming. Companies such as Langjiu and Guotai Liquor continue to knock on the capital market. Small and medium-sized wineries are incorporated into the listing system through mergers and acquisitions, creating a wave of liquor listing craze.

After similar peers, Huazhi Liquor Company and 1919, if they succeeded in listing this time, Jiuxian.com would not be considered an early-listed liquor company, but Jiuxian.com has ambitious expectations after listing, and it also mentioned in the prospectus. “The goal of building the No. 1 wine retail brand.”

The profitability problem of liquor retail

Although the performance of the liquor business has continued to pick up in recent years, the overall liquor retail enterprises are still moving forward.

The comparison of performance data between upstream wineries and downstream wine e-commerce is clear at a glance.

In 2020, the national liquor enterprises above designated size achieved sales revenue of 583.639 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.61%; realized total profits of 158.541 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 13.35%. The industry average net profit margin is as high as 27.16%. However, the liquor circulation link has been in a state of full competition for a long time, with many market participants and low industry concentration. Even in the new year of the industry, it is still not easy to make money.

Huazhi Liquor, the only listed alcoholic beverage company in A-shares, had operating income and net profit of 4.941 billion yuan and 373 million yuan last year, an increase of 32.20% and 16.82% year-on-year, respectively, with a net profit margin of 7.55%. The profitability of Liquor Convenience and Famous Brands listed on the NEEQ is even weaker. 1919 lost 530 million yuan and 143 million yuan in 2019 and the first half of 2020, respectively.

In contrast, Jiuxian.com has not been able to make money as easily as upstream wineries in the past three years, but at least it has achieved profitability. Jiuxian.com disclosed in the prospectus that from 2018 to 2020, the company’s operating income was 2.207 billion yuan, 2.997 billion yuan, and 3.717 billion yuan, and net profits attributable to the parent were 28.565 million yuan, 81.661 million yuan and 182 million yuan, respectively.

“Jiuxian.com has established offices and shipping warehouses in all provinces across the country, both offline and downstream. Jiuxian.com has sales and service teams in all prefecture-level cities. The upstream and downstream chain service system of Jiuxian.com has been very complete.” Industry expert Xiao Zhuqing said in an interview with a reporter from China Times, “Jixian.com, as one of the first batch of retail companies specializing in liquor business, has a leading market position in terms of brand recognition and channel deployment. In addition, the company’s management team , Omni-channel, product development, supply chain, information technology, consumer services, business innovation and other aspects also have strong competitive advantages. Under the background of the continuous rise of the alcohol circulation industry, if the company is successfully listed, it is believed that it will With the help of the aforementioned competitive advantages, the capital market once again achieved rapid development.”

However, there may be more room for the development of wine e-commerce in the future.

The development of the wine retail industry is similar to the overall development path of the retail industry. Both have gone through retail formats dominated by small offline retail locations, to large supermarkets, to online e-commerce, and finally to online and offline integration The process of branding new retail development. With the development of consumers’ online consumption habits and the development of wine vertical platforms, the proportion of e-commerce in wine terminal channels will continue to increase.

According to industry data, the scale of liquor e-commerce transactions reached 7 billion yuan in 2013 and 76.7 billion yuan in 2018. It is predicted that the scale of e-commerce transactions in 2020 will exceed 100 billion yuan. Due to the efficiency advantages and selection advantages of e-commerce, after the formation of high-quality brands, the proportion of e-commerce in liquor circulation is expected to further increase.

The industry believes that the online and offline integration of the wine retail industry will be closer in the future. Some traditional tobacco hotels will face higher online costs. In the future, they may gradually withdraw from the market. In the future, more and more wine merchants will join. Into the regular chain camp.
