Since March 2021, the influenza activity in southern and northern provinces has been higher than that in the same period in 2020, and since September, the level of influenza activity in southern provinces has shown an obvious upward trend. The risk of overlapping epidemic of COVID-19 epidemic and influenza and other respiratory infectious diseases still exists this winter and next spring. Recently, it coincided with a large-scale cooling in China, and the flu vaccine quickly "warmed up". However, how to choose a flu vaccine that suits you?

I. Types of domestic influenza vaccines

At present, there are trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV3), tetravalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4) and trivalent live attenuated vaccine (LAIV3) approved for marketing in China.

Among them, trivalent influenza vaccine is suitable for children and adults over 6 months, which can prevent influenza caused by two influenza A viruses (H1N1, H3N2) and one influenza B virus (Victoria).

Four-valent influenza vaccine has more protection against one type of influenza B virus (Yamagata) than three-valent influenza vaccine, but the current four-valent influenza vaccine in China needs to be over 3 years old to be vaccinated.

Second, the way of influenza vaccine administration

At present, there are two ways to administer influenza vaccine in China, one is traditional injection and the other is nasal spray.

Among them, the nasal spray method is unique to the nasal spray influenza vaccine, which was only listed in China in August 2020, but it is not the first in China. It has existed abroad for a long time (the United States and the European Union approved the use of nasal spray influenza vaccine in 2003 and 2012, and both of them are tetravalent), but the market share has not been high. This vaccination method can effectively avoid puncture and "needle fainting" caused by injection, but as for whether it can really make children not afraid of getting flu vaccine, it seems that it is not. Although it doesn’t seem to hurt, the nasal mucosa is also very sensitive, and the way of "nasal spray" is not necessarily more comfortable than intramuscular injection. It is difficult for children to ensure the accuracy of vaccination dose, and the technical operation requirements for vaccinators are relatively high.

Third, the safety of influenza vaccine

Influenza-like vaccines are all split or subunit, that is, inactivated vaccines. After years of practice, the safety of all kinds of inactivated vaccines is relatively high. Its contraindications are limited to allergies to vaccine ingredients, and there is no restriction on egg allergies. Even during pregnancy and some elderly people with basic diseases are recommended to be vaccinated.

Then let’s take a look at the new nasal spray influenza vaccine: this vaccine simulates the process of natural influenza infection. After the vaccine is atomized, it enters the body through the nasal cavity, and the first barrier is mucosal immunity, and then cellular immunity and humoral immunity are generated by activating lymphocytes. However, this means that the nasal spray vaccine must be an attenuated live vaccine. From the point of view of safety, attenuated live vaccine may expel vaccine virus strains after inoculation, and occasionally it is reported that the live virus discharged from the vaccinator is transmitted to the uninoculated. Therefore, it is not recommended to vaccinate children with severe immunocompromised patients with nasal spray influenza vaccine.

Relatively speaking, the live attenuated vaccine has more contraindications (rhinitis, asthma, immune problems, etc.), and the range of people who can be vaccinated is narrower. The vaccination age range of this vaccine is 3-17 years old, which directly avoids children under 3 years old and the elderly who may have basic diseases. Pregnancy is also a contraindication. Even people who have used anti-influenza drugs such as oseltamivir and zanamivir (or traditional Chinese medicine with antiviral components) 48 hours before vaccination are not recommended to be vaccinated with this nasal spray vaccine.

Some foreign researchers have summarized the cases of influenza still diagnosed after receiving nasal spray vaccine or attenuated live vaccine or inactivated vaccine for injection. Among 17,173 patients aged 2-17, 4,579 received inactivated vaccine by injection, 1,979 received nasal spray vaccine or live attenuated vaccine, and 10,615 were not vaccinated. It was found that the effectiveness of inactivated vaccine for injection against influenza A (H1N1) was 67%, and the effectiveness of nasal spray vaccine or attenuated live vaccine was 20%. Compared with the recipients of inactivated vaccine by injection, the probability of infection with influenza A (H1N1) is significantly higher among those vaccinated with nasal spray vaccine or live attenuated vaccine.

Fourth, the effectiveness of influenza vaccine

As far as the effectiveness of protection scope is concerned, the tetravalent influenza vaccine containing four influenza virus strains (two types A and two types B) is better than the trivalent influenza vaccine containing three influenza virus strains (two types A and one type B).

Based on five studies from 2013 to 2016, the effect of nasal spray vaccine or live attenuated vaccine on influenza A (H1N1) is lower than that of inactivated vaccine by injection in all children’s age groups. Therefore, the American ACIP (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice) did not recommend nasal spray influenza vaccine in 2016-2017 and 2017-2018.

A meta-study published online in Pediatrics in January 2019, entitled "Live Attenuated and In Activated Influenza Vaccination Effectiveness", recorded the reasons (and reviewed Meta) why AAP and CDC did not recommend nasal influenza vaccine in 2016-17 and 2017-18.

Please see the figure below for a detailed comparison list.

Finally, to sum up:Under the age of 3, there is no choice but to get trivalent flu vaccine. Above 3 years old, tetravalent vaccine is definitely the first choice in terms of protection effect. However, the price of trivalent vaccine is half cheaper than that of tetravalent vaccine (50 yuan VS110 yuan). If the money is not bad, then choose tetravalent vaccine. As for the nasal spray vaccine, if you are over 3 years old and under 17 years old, you happen to be "dizzy" or have extreme fear of injection, then it is much better to vaccinate the nasal spray vaccine than to do nothing.

North America is the largest film market in the world, and it is also the main battlefield to test the success or failure of a Hollywood film. Generally speaking, there are two institutions that regularly publish box office data of North American film market: the website Box Office Mojo mainly collects and counts the data reported by publishers themselves; Comscore, a media company specializing in collecting and analyzing all kinds of data, collects daily box office data from the cinema, which is also the main source of box office data for American media.

Traditionally, Comscore’s annual report will not be released until the first Tuesday of the new year, that is, January 2, 2024, local time in the United States, but it is said that the total box office in North America will basically fall between $9.03 billion and $9.05 billion in 2023. As for Box Office Mojo, because of the time difference, the North American box office figure in 2023 on this website is still at $8.905499 billion for the time being, but I believe it will be further updated in a few days.

"Baben Harmo"

Looking back on the key words of North American movies in 2023, the first one was "Baben Harmo": two commercial blockbusters with irrelevant contents and types collided head-on in the same schedule, and the result was not that they changed, but that they successfully ignited the audience’s enthusiasm together and became a phenomenal movie event in 2023. Barbie, produced by Warner Bros. Film Company, finally became the North American box office champion in 2023 with a score of $636 million, while Oppenheimer, produced by Universal Pictures, ranked fifth in the annual box office list in North America with $326 million.

The success of the two works has its own reasons, but to sum up, it is nothing more than abandoning the routine and highlighting the new ideas. Together with Universal Pictures’ Super Mario Bros. Movie, which ranked second in North America’s annual box office list with US$ 574 million, these three works can be said to have high original value.

Although Barbie comes from a world-famous popular toy, Super Mario Bros. Movie is based on a well-known video game of the same name, and the protagonist of Oppenheimer has already gone down in history because of the atomic bomb, they are not actually sequel to the movie or remakes of old movies, which can attract the audience to buy tickets and rely on real original stories and designs.

Stills of Super Mario Bros. Movie

In sharp contrast, in 2023, a lot of blockbusters failed at the box office, almost all sequels and series of works. In addition to the superhero movies that have completely tired the audience aesthetically, Raiders of the Lost Ark 5 and Mission Impossible 7 have also failed to achieve satisfactory box office results.

The total box office in North America in 2023 is definitely the highest in North America since the epidemic subverted the film industry, far better than the $7.46 billion in 2022 and $4.56 billion in 2021. However, such achievements have not returned to the level before the epidemic.

Historically, the box office in North America has steadily exceeded $10 billion every year since 2009, and since 2015, this figure has exceeded $11 billion every year. Before the epidemic, in 2019, although the box office performance of North American movies has been severely squeezed by the streaming media market, the box office of the whole year can still easily reach 11.4 billion US dollars.

On the surface, it seems that the main reason is that the number of films released by Hollywood studios is getting smaller and smaller every year: only 88 films were released on a large scale in 2023, while in 2019, the box office reached 10.5 billion US dollars, which was 108, a full 20 more. However, I really want to say, even if there are 20 more new films in 2023, will it be guaranteed that the box office will increase by 2 billion US dollars? Who can say that these 20 films will get an average of $100 million at the North American box office each?

Movies like Barbie and Oppenheimer can persuade people to pay for tickets because they can only appreciate the beauty of light and shadow when they are watched on the big screen, and the same is true for Taylor Swift: Time Tour Concert, which became a dark horse at the box office near the end of the year. In 2023, when the streaming media service is becoming more and more mature (and saturated), how many movies must be experienced in the cinema in the eyes of the audience? Below, we will look at it according to the winners and losers list of the five major Hollywood manufacturers.

Universal Pictures International

Wins: Super Mario Bros. Movie ($575 million), Oppenheimer ($326 million), Five Nights of the Teddy Bear ($137 million) and Megan ($95 million).

Negative: Speed and Fury 10 ($146 million), Renfield ($17 million), Demeter’s Last Voyage ($13 million).

According to film companies, Universal Pictures, which won $1.93 billion in 2023, topped the North American box office list. With the blockbuster films such as Super Mario Bros. Movie and Oppenheimer, Universal has occupied about 22% of the box office share in North America, slightly overwhelming Disney and winning the first prize since 2015.

In 2023, Universal occupied two seats in the top five most popular films in North America. In addition, the innovative thriller Megan, which cost only $12 million, also earned nearly $100 million at the box office, while Five Nights of the Teddy Bear turned the cost of $20 million into a box office of $137 million, making them the two most cost-effective movies in 2023.

Of course, Universal also made some mistakes in 2023, and the tenth The Fast and the Furious series was exhausted, but the production cost was getting higher and higher, reaching a shocking $340 million, which erased a lot of the annual bonus of Universal.

In 2024, Kung fu panda 4’s "Daddy Thief 4" and other works will be listed around the world, and there is still a chance to win the championship again.

Disney

Wins: Galaxy Guard 3 ($359 million), The Little Mermaid ($297 million), Crazy Element City ($154 million).

Negative: Captain Surprise 2 ($84 million), Indiana Jones 5 ($174 million), Star Wish ($61 million), Haunted House ($68 million).

2023 is Disney’s centenary birthday, which should have been a year worth celebrating. Various commemorative movies, books and activities were also arranged in advance. However, the overall commercial achievements released at the end of the year made 2023 a year when Mickey Mouse fell to the altar.

Since the annual box office accounted for 26% in 2016, Disney has become the sole overlord of Hollywood in the past few years by relying on its fist products such as Marvel Comics and Pixar; The peak appeared in 2019, accounting for 33.3% of the box office. Seven of the top ten films in the world were produced by Disney, and the box office of each film exceeded $1 billion, leaving the other Hollywood giants completely behind.

However, with the arrival of COVID-19, everything came to an abrupt end. Three years after the epidemic, Disney’s box office share was only 11%, 20% and 18% respectively. However, at that time, Disney’s box office declined because of the external factors of closed cinemas and filming stoppage, which can be said to be a crime of no war. By the end of the epidemic in 2023, Disney’s box office still accounts for only 16%, so you can only find the reason from yourself.

The most serious problem is naturally the continuous downturn of the Marvel movie universe. From "Ant Man 3" at the beginning of the year to "Captain Surprise 2" at the end of the year, all of them lost their eye-catching characteristics in the past, and the latter even became the worst box office in the history of Marvel Comics movies, which made Disney CEO Bob Iger admit that at the previous stage, they really made a big mistake of focusing only on quantity and ignoring quality. At the same time, it also reminds opponents once again that there has never been any panacea in Hollywood, and the tastes of the audience are changing rapidly. Sitting on one’s laurels and standing still is doomed to die.

"Galaxy Guard 3" poster

On the whole, among the top ten box offices in North America, Disney still has the illusion that "Guards of the Galaxy 3" ranks fourth, "The Little Mermaid" ranks sixth and "Ant Man 3" ranks eighth, and there is still the illusion that "the skinny camel is bigger than the horse". However, excluding the special circumstances of the epidemic for three years, this has become the first year since 2014 that Disney has not had any film with a global box office exceeding the $1 billion mark.

Of course, Disney’s advantage is that it has acquired a large number of high-quality assets through mergers in the past few years. After being acquired by Disney, 20th Century Fox, which originally belonged to the ranks of the six Hollywood manufacturers, was renamed 20th Century Pictures, and its box office was also included in the Disney Group’s evaluation. In 2023, they released three works, Cabinet Devil, Venetian fright night and AI Creator. Together with the release of Avatar 2 in early 2023, they earned about $400 million in North American box office. Including this part, Disney accounted for about 21% of the annual box office in North America, ranking second.

Warner Bros.

Wins: Barbie ($636 million), Nun 2 ($86 million), Meg 2 ($82 million), Wonka ($143 million).

Negative: The Flash ($108 million), The Blue Beetle ($72 million), Shazam 2 ($57 million), Aquaman 2 ($85 million).

With Barbie, the highest box office in North America in 2023 (the film also won the annual global box office champion with a box office score of $1.44 billion), Warner failed to become the North American box office champion in 2023, ranking third with only $1.4 billion and a share of about 15.24%. I am afraid that the reason can only be attributed to the poor box office performance of DC superheroes.

"Barbie" stills

In addition to Barbie, in 2023, Warner also tasted a lot of sweetness in the horror film Sister 2 and the family movie Wonka. However, they invested about $660 million in the production cost of the four DC films, The Flash, The Blue Beetle, Shazam 2 and Aquaman 2. As a result, the global box office revenue of the four films was less than that of the 2016 Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ($874 million).

In 2024, Warner will publish Dune 2, Godzilla vs. king kong 2, Clown 2 and other works, which hopefully will lead to a comeback.

Sony pictures

Wins: Spider-Man: The Vertical and Horizontal Universe (US$ 381 million) and The Wronger 3 (US$ 92 million).

Negative: Silly Money ($13 million) and Escape from Cretaceous ($32 million).

In 2020, when the world was in chaos, Sony Pictures once became the biggest winner in the North American film market, gaining more than 20% market share. After that, in 2021, they also continued to be in the forefront. However, in 2022, when everything is slightly back on track, Sony’s market share has retreated to the fifth place. In 2023, the situation is slightly better than that of Paramount, which is at the bottom. The annual box office of less than $1 billion accounts for about 11% of the market.

Stills of Spider-Man: The Vertical and Horizontal Universe

During the three years of the epidemic, Sony released about 16 or 17 works every year, and in 2023, it rose to 27, far more than any other Hollywood factory, and basically recovered to the level before the epidemic.

The animated film Spider-Man: The Vertical and Horizontal Universe, which was released in June, is a rare Marvel Comics movie that sold well at the box office in 2023. The global box office of "Grievance 3" also reached $190 million, almost the same as the first two films, showing the high popularity of Denzel Hayes Washington Jr.. As for "Napoleon" released at the end of the year, it is not a box office success in itself. After all, the production cost of the film is as high as 200 million US dollars. However, this huge sum of money basically comes from Apple with deep pockets, and Sony is only responsible for issuing, and the package will not be compensated.

In 2024, as usual, Sony will have a wave of new films such as Ghostbusters: The Frozen City, Garfield, Mrs. Spider: Super Awakening, Kraven the Hunter, Venom 3, etc., and the box office should make a breakthrough.

Paramount

Wins: Scream 6 ($108 million), Wang Wang Team 2 ($65 million), Teenage Ninja Turtles: Mutant Fight ($118 million).

Negative: Mission Impossible 7 ($172 million) and Dungeons and Dragons: The Glory of Grand Theft Auto ($93 million).

2023 is really a year to break the Hollywood convention. Not only has the invincible superhero movies been beaten, but even Tom Cruise, which has always been a box office guarantee, has experienced the existential crisis of Lian Po’s old age.

Before the release of "Mission Impossible 7", almost everyone expected that it would be Tom Cruise’s second successful summer file after "Top Gun 2". As a result, "Mission Impossible 7" failed to ignite the enthusiasm of North American people for watching movies on the first weekend, and was quickly defeated by Barbie and Oppenheimer. The most deadly thing is that the epidemic pushed the production cost of the film up to an astonishing $291 million, which caused it to bear an excessive burden before it was released.

Dungeons and Dragons: Glory of Grand Theft Auto poster

The box office failure of Dungeons and Dragons was also somewhat unexpected. After all, the film was adapted from a powerful game IP, and the audience’s reputation after the screening was very good, but perhaps because of the schedule, there was still a lack of enough audience to join in, which made this $150 million film unable to break even.

In the whole year, Paramount released a total of 10 films, with a box office of just over $800 million, accounting for about 9.6% of the total box office in North America, ranking fifth, far below the market share of 17.6% in 2022 with the blessing of Top Gun 2.

In 2024, Paramount will release some blockbuster new films, such as Gladiator 2, Transformers: The First Generation and Sonik the Hedgehog 3, which is expected to turn the tide.

Taylor Swift: Time Tour Concert Poster

In addition to the above-mentioned five Hollywood giants, Lionsgate Pictures, which took 6.55% of the market share, ranked sixth in the annual box office in North America. They released 12 films in the whole year, and "Fast Chasing 4" ranked ninth in the annual single box office in North America with $187 million. Further back, the independent film "Voice of Freedom", which is not unusual in shooting, distribution and publicity, won $184 million at the box office, which just squeezed into the tenth place in the annual single-chip box office list in North America.

Taylor Swift: Time Tour Concert, with the same maverick distribution model, earned $179 million at the box office, ranking 11th in the annual single-chip box office list in North America. Independent films like this broke into the top of the annual box office list for more than ten years, which seems to reflect the coming of the unprecedented changes in Hollywood in N years.

1905 movie network news The Spring Festival animated film will be officially released on the first day of the Year of the Tiger. On January 4th, the film released a special video of "Tiger Tiger Born Wind" to reveal the film creation process.

　

"The Great Hero of Xiaohudun" tells the story of Xiaohudun’s adventurous growth in pursuit of the dream of an escort in his heart. The newly released special video "Tiger" is full of flavor, and Xiao Hudun, wearing a tiger’s head hat, expounds the creative process. Although the main creative team of the film is not necessarily the best in the industry in terms of number of people and equipment, its attitude of cultivating animation talents in China and creating fine animation in China is firm.

In addition, exaggerated brainwashing explanations such as "A masterpiece was produced only in one hundred million years" are full of joy and magic, and Xiaohudun also made a fuss at the end of the video, saying "I don’t want to bite you", which makes people smile, and it is more like making a promise of "watching the Tiger Pier in the Year of the Tiger".

　

The creative team behind "Little Tiger Pier Hero" is determined to create an original national IP and make China’s animated image famous in the world. Little Tiger Pier, which is popular in short videos, comics, theme parks, derivatives and movies, is one of the representatives.

It is reported that when the main creator created the image of the Tiger Pier, he closely followed the words "Meng, Meng, Meng and Meng". "Meng" refers to Xiao Hudun’s personality is a bit stupid, and occasionally he will do ridiculous stupid things. "Meng" means cute and super cute. "Fierce" means that Xiaohudun is brave and courageous, with a fearless momentum. "Dream" is his dream of becoming an escort and returning his parents as soon as possible. Nowadays, Xiaohudun, which has tens of millions of fans on the whole network, is about to make its debut on the big screen. I believe that the cute image of Xiaohudun will be more and more deeply rooted in people’s hearts when the Year of the Tiger comes, adding a little joy and celebration to the Spring Festival.

　　Our reporter Gu Mengxuan Xia Xin reports from Guangzhou and Beijing.　

　　Recently, the international gold price hit a record high and was quickly sold off, causing a sharp drop. The price of gold denominated in RMB has also fluctuated greatly, which has aroused widespread concern in the market.　

　　On December 4th, the price of gold futures in new york market once rushed to the $2,150 mark per ounce, with an intraday increase of over 3%, setting a record high. Subsequently, the price of gold quickly fell back, and as of the 7 th, the cumulative correction per ounce exceeded $100.　

　　Affected by this, the gold Au99.99 listed on the Shanghai Gold Exchange fell back after it surged to 487 yuan per gram on the 4th, and the retail price of some domestic brands of gold jewelry stood at the high level of 630 yuan per gram and then fell back to about 615 yuan per gram on the 7th.　

　　According to Wind data, on December 15th, the New York Mercantile Exchange gold futures price was reported at 2018.3 USD/oz; As of press time, the gold Au99.99 listed on the Shanghai Gold Exchange is 472.99 yuan per gram.　

　　Welcome to a loose inflection point　

　　Regarding the correction of gold price, Wang Xiang, fund manager of Bosera Fund Index and Quantitative Investment Department, pointed out that the Fed’s interest rate hike cycle tends to end, which will usher in a loose turning point. Gold benefits from the downward logic of liquidity easing and real interest rate. Historically, similar policy nodes have strong price support power. However, there is a profit-taking impulse near the historical high point, and the net long position of short-term COMEX futures fund is too fast, so there is a need for adjustment.　

　　At 3: 00 am on December 14th, Beijing time, the Federal Reserve issued the statement of the FOMC meeting in December 2023 (the Federal Reserve’s meeting on interest rates), and once again announced the suspension of interest rate hikes.　

　　According to the data provided by Bosera Fund, inflation expectations in the United States have dropped significantly. In December, the consumer confidence index of the University of Michigan rose to 69.4, with an expectation of 62. The inflation expectation dropped significantly, with the one-year inflation expectation dropping from 4.5% to 3.1% and the five-to ten-year inflation expectation dropping from 3.2% to 2.8%. "This combination is not good for precious metals." Wang Xiang said.　

　　As for the rise in the price of gold in the early stage, Bi Mengyu, an investment researcher at Geshang Caifu Jinyu, pointed out that gold, as a non-interest-bearing physical asset, often ushered in rising opportunities when other assets had poor returns.　

　　First of all, from an economic point of view, the global economy is currently in recession. In view of the worries about the economic downturn and the stock market decline, driven by risk aversion, investors are more willing to buy gold to avoid risks, leading to the rise of gold prices. In November, the global manufacturing PMI (Purchasing Managers Index) was 49.3, the US manufacturing PMI was 46.7, and the Eurozone manufacturing PMI was 44.3, all of which were below threshold, reflecting the overall global economic downturn.　

　　Secondly, last week, the ADP data in the United States (an economic indicator commonly used to measure the job market) failed to meet expectations. The market speculated that the Federal Reserve would not raise interest rates in December, that is, the nominal interest rate showed a downward trend with a high probability, which made the price of gold rise again.　

　　Finally, global central banks continue to purchase gold, and the demand for gold purchase by global central banks will remain strong in 2023, which supports the upward trend of the overall price of gold.　

　　"The adjustment of gold this week was mainly due to the rising interest rate of the US dollar index and US debt after the US non-farm payrolls data exceeded expectations, and coupled with the’ hawkish’ signal released by the Federal Reserve Chairman, the price of gold fluctuated downward." Bi Mengyu said.　

　　The annualized compound yield of gold is 7%　

　　The reporter noted that in August this year, the trend of domestic and international gold prices deviated greatly. In recent months, has the excessive price difference between the internal and external markets of gold prices been corrected?　

　　Wang Xiang pointed out that in September this year, the price difference between domestic and foreign countries was the highest, 30 yuan+/gram, and at present, the price difference has largely converged to 7 yuan/gram, but it is still far from the historical 95% confidence fluctuation range of 1.2~1.8 yuan/gram. In the process of convergence, the performance of domestic gold price will be worse than that of dollar gold.　

　　Bi Mengxuan pointed out that the international gold price and the domestic gold price are basically in a positive correlation, but due to the influence of pricing system, rate and time lag, they may deviate in the short term, and the domestic gold price fluctuation is often lagging behind. After several months of adjustment, the international and domestic gold prices have basically converged.　

　　Central banks around the world have also shown sustained enthusiasm for buying gold. According to the data of the World Gold Council, in 2023, the global central bank’s demand for gold purchases remained strong, reaching 387 tons in the first half of the year, a record high in the same period; In the first three quarters, the amount of gold purchased reached a record 800 tons, a year-on-year increase of 14%. At the same time, the data released by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange showed that at the end of November, the gold of the Bank of China had increased for the 13th consecutive month.　

　　In this regard, Bi Mengyu pointed out that the central bank’s allocation of gold mainly considers security, liquidity and return. First of all, gold is regarded as a safe asset and a value-preserving asset by the central bank, because it is more stable in the face of credit risks than other assets such as national debt; Secondly, gold has strong liquidity, and the central bank can quickly enter the market without distorting the price; Finally, although the return is not the main motivation for the central bank to buy gold, the annualized compound rate of return of gold has been around 7% in the past few decades, providing investors with relatively considerable returns.　

　　"The proportion of gold in China’s foreign exchange reserves is still low. Although it has been continuously increased, the current proportion is still less than 6%, which is still far from the proportion of more than 40% in European and American countries." Wang Xiang said that increasing the proportion of gold in foreign exchange reserves will help to diversify the reserve structure and maintain the stability of local currency and asset prices during the contraction cycle of the US dollar.　

　　Rational investment by investors　

　　Regarding the future market of gold assets, Nuoan Fund pointed out that due to the issuance of bonds by the US Treasury, the reduction of US debt holdings by the Federal Reserve and the current strong economic expectations, it is expected that the long-term yield of US debt will remain high, and short-term gold will still be suppressed by interest rates and the US dollar index. However, we expect that the signs of economic slowdown in the United States may be more obvious in the first half of 2024, and high interest rates and recent geopolitical risks may increase the volatility of financial markets compared with the previous period. The logic of gold investment gradually shifts from short-term safe-haven demand to medium-and long-term Fed interest rate cuts. Recently, the market expects the Fed to cut interest rates, which has significantly boosted the price of gold, or it is expected to change more by pricing. It is suggested that investors should actively pay attention to the trend of gold price and consider the proportion of gold allocation to grasp the investment opportunity of gold.　

　　Wang Xiang said that whether inflation converges smoothly, leading European and American monetary policies to shift to liquidity logic, or inflation rises again due to unexpected events, taking stagflation logic, different macro paths are beneficial to the gold margin, making it still one of the assets with high certainty, and the only difference is the difference in odds. Next year is an election year for many economies, and the intensity of geo-game may remain at a high level, which is also conducive to the rise of the price center. The upward target of USD gold is USD 2,200 ~ 2,400, which is about 515~550 yuan/g in China.　

　　"It is normal for the regional fluctuation of gold prices to increase near historical highs. Investors should neither be overly enthusiastic in the overbought state of the market, nor completely lose confidence after their breakthrough failure." Wang Xiang pointed out that in the medium and long term, the easing of the Federal Reserve and the weakening of the US dollar will remain a high probability path next year. With many economies entering the election year, the intensity of geo-game will remain at a high level. After the short-term selling sentiment is released, gold will return to its long-term upward path again.

Baidu "Cambodia Bar" is involved in gambling recruitment information.

With "spinach" and "Xiaobai" as code words, Baidu’s post bars are accused of spreading overseas casino recruitment information, recruiting casino promoters, and tricking Chinese people into participating in online gambling in Cambodia and other countries.

A few days ago, some netizens reported to www.thepaper.cn/consumersComplaint.jsp, a complaint platform of The Paper Quality Report, that there were a lot of casino recruitment information in the "Cambodian Bar" of Baidu Post Bar.

According to the investigation in www.thepaper.cn, The Paper, there are a lot of gambling information in Baidu Post Bar, such as Phnom Penh Bar, West Port Bar and Work Bar in Cambodia, with the code words of "recruit push, white", "new handicap, interested private chat", "coordinate west port and Bobei".

The Paper reporters made unannounced visits as applicants. Some posters claiming to work in Cambodian gambling companies said that the personnel they recruited in Baidu Post Bar were mainly engaged in "promotion" work, that is, chatting online, mostly in the name of talking about male and female friends, to trick domestic people into participating in online gambling.

"The more he (the gambler) recharges, the higher your commission. If this thing doesn’t win, it will only lose. If you come, you will be trapped." The poster said.

On the afternoon of May 10th, a staff member of Baidu’s docking domestic media told The Paper that he needed to give feedback to the relevant departments about posting gambling information on the Post Bar, and make a clear investigation before replying.

Before the press release, The Paper checked Baidu’s "Cambodian Bar" again, and there were still a large number of recruitment information released by gaming companies; Baidu has not yet responded to this.

Xing Xin, a lawyer, believes that Baidu Post Bar, as a network operator, should immediately stop transmitting such information, prevent information from spreading, and keep records and report to the relevant authorities.

In addition, lawyer Lou Jing said that if Chinese citizens gather to gamble and open casinos in the surrounding areas outside our country to attract domestic citizens as the main source of tourists, which constitutes a crime of gambling, they can be investigated for criminal responsibility in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Law.

Baidu "Cambodia Bar" is involved in gambling recruitment information.

Baidu "Cambodia Bar" has become the hardest hit area of "spinach"

On May 8, a netizen in Guangdong reported to The Paper that Baidu’s "Cambodia Bar" published a large number of recruitment information of gaming companies, and this kind of recruitment lured Chinese personnel to Cambodia to engage in gambling-related work by means of "selling heads and getting commissions".

The netizen reported that most of the gambling companies in Cambodia are run by Chinese, and he is currently detained by the company and cannot return to China. However, The Paper contacted the netizen many times, and his phone has been unable to get through.

The Paper noted that Baidu’s "Cambodia Bar" has more than 280,000 followers, and at present there are more than 4 million posts in the post bar. Most of the published contents are "A large number of recruitment and promotion", "Welcome to consult, solve all problems and concerns for all of you, and hope to help all of you who come to Cambodia", "Coordinate Westport, which is developing into a big company, and welcomes all kinds of suspected gambling recruitment information such as Xiaobai and job-hopping personnel".

At the same time, in this post bar, posters often use argots such as "spinach" to replace words such as "gambling". A similar situation exists in Baidu Post Bar, such as Phnom Penh Bar in Cambodia, West Port Bar in Cambodia and Work Bar in Cambodia.

The ID address of the poster in the post bar involved shows that most of them come from domestic provinces and cities. Some posters claim that they are already employees of Cambodian gaming companies. They mainly publish content including recruitment information and working experience in Cambodia.

On May 9th, The Paper released job information as a "job seeker", and received nearly 100 replies in one day, mainly including "Add me to know", "How to contact you", "Group mode, resources provided by the company" and so on.

Through the micro-signal left in the post, a self-proclaimed "Baisha" who works for a gaming company in Cambodia told The Paper that his company holds a legal gaming license from the local government in Cambodia, and the gaming games are all lottery tickets that can be seen in China, such as "Fucai 3D, 11-choice 5, Chongqing Time Lottery", and players can make bets through the website platform.

According to the company recruitment brochure provided by Baisha, the company is now recruiting a large number of talents who can "skillfully operate computers and type more than 45 words per minute" in front desk, online customer service, promotion, personnel and other positions, with the basic salary and job requirements of each position.

In the next few days, according to posters such as "Baisha", in fact, they released such recruitment information, mainly by recruiting "promoters" to lure Chinese people to participate in online gambling in Cambodia. The more gamblers lose, the higher the commission of promoters.

Baidu "Cambodia Bar" is involved in gambling recruitment information.

"Promoters" lure people to gamble in the name of talking about boyfriends and girlfriends.

Another poster, "Meng Jie", also claimed to work for a gaming company in the western port area of Cambodia. He told The Paper that his main job is to "attract people and recruit people", and other positions in the company, such as "promotion", "just sit there and chat every day and fool others into gambling".

According to Meng Jie, the objects of "fudge" are divided into two categories. One is that Cambodian gambling companies directly give employees "resources". These "resources" are generally domestic gambling addicts; "Resources" means that gambling companies spend money to buy information from China and then "wash it out".

For some gambling companies without "resources", "promoters" are needed to attract people.

"To put it bluntly, the girl just wants to fool the man. You are his girlfriend, so that he is willing to register with us and gamble. The more he recharges, the higher your commission. If you don’t win this thing, you will only lose." Meng Jie said.

"Male promotion" usually pretends to be a woman to "attract people" and "entice people by sending some messages, and finally make them willing to gamble." Meng Jie said that these gambling companies in Cambodia all require employees not to participate in gambling, and once they are found, they will be fired.

Meng Jie said that he worked in a gambling company in Cambodia for half a year and pulled more than 30 people from China. Usually, the recruitment information is mainly posted on the Internet. The air tickets and accommodation expenses of candidates are paid by Cambodian gaming companies, and there are also special people to pick them up after arriving in Cambodia.

However, as soon as new applicants arrive in Cambodia, their passports will be taken away. "Because the company is afraid that you won’t be able to do it for a long time, the air tickets and accommodation fees paid in the early stage hit Shui Piao."

Bai Sha said that three months ago, he saw the recruitment information in Baidu Cambodia Bar. Because he "had debts at home, there was no way to decide to go to Cambodia". He said that he was caught in a trap. "Work is not as good as expected. You are caught in a trap. People who come to work here are forced to do it. Most of them are Chinese. After all, the boss is also Chinese, doing domestic business."

Baisha said that there are many small companies under his gaming company group, and a small company is called a handicap. There are more than a dozen handicaps under the group. There are 200 to 300 people in his handicap, and the employees are basically Chinese. Now the group’s handicap is still expanding, and they need to recruit a large number of people from China for the company.

Lawyer: Opening a casino abroad to attract Chinese citizens also constitutes a gambling crime.

On the afternoon of May 10th, a staff member of Baidu Company docking domestic media told The Paper that it was not clear about the gambling recruitment posted by Post Bar, and he needed to give feedback to relevant departments first, and then reply after investigation.

The Paper learned that opening a casino in Cambodia requires an application from the local government, and only after obtaining a business license issued by the Cambodian government can the casino legally exist.

Xing Xin, a lawyer of Hunan Jinzhou Law Firm, believes that according to the relevant provisions of China’s Cyber Security Law, Baidu Post Bar, as a network operator, should strengthen the management of information released by its users. If it finds information prohibited by laws and administrative regulations from being released or transmitted, it should immediately stop transmitting the information, take measures such as elimination, prevent information from spreading, save relevant records, and report to the relevant competent authorities.

In addition, regarding the casinos opened by Chinese people in Cambodia, Xing Xin believes that according to the Interpretation of the Supreme People’s Court and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Laws in Handling Gambling Criminal Cases, if Chinese citizens gather to gamble and open casinos in the surrounding areas outside our country in order to attract Chinese citizens as the main source of tourists, which constitutes a gambling crime, they can be investigated for criminal responsibility in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Law and be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention control or fines.

Lou Jing, a lawyer of Beijing Yingke Law Firm, said that such casinos were set up abroad to avoid the criminal accountability of China public security organs and the application of China’s criminal laws, but China citizens can still commit crimes if they commit acts prohibited by China’s criminal law abroad.

Lou Jing believes that according to the first paragraph of Article 7 of the Criminal Law, "People’s Republic of China (PRC) citizens who commit crimes stipulated in this law outside the territory of People’s Republic of China (PRC) shall be subject to this law, but if the maximum penalty stipulated in this law is fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, they may not be investigated."

Lou Jing said that if most of the gamblers who bet on the websites of Cambodian gambling companies are Chinese, and the settlement and circulation of gambling funds also occur in China, and some criminal acts are committed in China, they can be regarded as criminal acts according to China’s criminal law.

On the afternoon of May 15th, The Paper browsed the Baidu Post Bar again and found that there were still a lot of gambling-related recruitment information. Before the deadline for publication, The Paper repeatedly called the switchboard of Baidu Company, but the line was busy. Baidu has not yet responded to this.

Case: Opening a casino overseas to attract Chinese people to gamble was sentenced to three years and six months.

On May 15th, The Paper searched the non-litigation network with the keywords of "opening a casino overseas" and "online gambling", and found that there were five related criminal proceedings, including four judgments in the first instance and one ruling in the second instance.

In the five judgments, all the defendants were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from one year to three years and six months, and fined a certain amount for opening a casino abroad for the purpose of making profits, soliciting and organizing China citizens to the scene or conducting online gambling.

A judgment of the People’s Court of pinghu city, Zhejiang Province on September 19, 2018 shows that the defendant Liu and others organized domestic people to gamble abroad and settle their gambling funds in China by opening casinos in Laos and other places, or used the Internet and mobile communication terminals to transmit gambling videos and data and organize gambling activities. The accumulated gambling funds were more than 67 million yuan, which is a serious case. His behavior has constituted the crime of opening casinos. The court of first instance made a ruling after trial and sentenced Liu to three years in prison.

In addition, a judgment of the People’s Court of Taoshan District, qitaihe city, Heilongjiang Province on December 29, 2016 also shows that when the public security organs investigated the Maizayang Maida Company in Myanmar in handling the mega-cross-border online gambling case, they found that Chen Mou and Liang Moumou from Maoming, Guangdong Province had successively opened new Asian and new international casinos in Maizayang, Myanmar.

After trial, the court held that the defendant Liu and others opened casinos abroad mainly to attract People’s Republic of China (PRC) citizens as the main customers, and used the Internet and mobile communication terminals to transmit gambling videos, organized domestic citizens to make dividends in online gambling casinos or serve as managers, or helped casinos collect and turnover gambling funds, or accepted bets from mainly domestic gamblers to earn illegal profits.

The Taoshan District Court of qitaihe city made a ruling in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Criminal Law. The defendants Chen Mou, Liang Moumou and Liu Moumou were convicted of opening a casino, sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from three years to one year, and fined RMB 100,000 to 3 million, with suspended execution.

Successful listing does not mean that you can sit back and relax. How to make the brand develop for a long time after listing is the beginning of the test.

This article was originally published by Hongcan.com (ID: hongcan18), by Jian Yuhao; Editor: Jing Xue.

On April 23rd, Chabaidao (2555.HK) was officially listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. However, the performance on the first day of listing was not ideal. On the morning of 23rd, Chabaidao opened at HK$ 15.74 per share, which was lower than the issue price of HK$ 17.5. At the close, Chabaidao recorded HK$ 12.80 per share, with a market value of only HK$ 18.914 billion. In intraday trading, the share price of Chabaidao once fell to HK$ 10.80/share.

Time goes back to a week ago. On April 15, the first day of the public offering of Chabaidao, it attracted attention because the public offering did not achieve full subscription. In addition, at that time, Chabaidao did not introduce cornerstone investors. Many investors have said that if a company with a valuation of tens of billions does not introduce cornerstone investors, it may mean that the valuation of this enterprise is too expensive, or institutional investors are not optimistic about the future profit prospects of the enterprise.　

Although it was successfully listed, there are different opinions in the industry about "the second share of new tea". On the one hand, the successful listing is a milestone achievement for Chabaidao. However, in the eyes of some people in the industry, listing is not once and for all. In the increasingly competitive new tea circuit, there are still many uncertainties in the future development of Chabaidao.　

After 01.80, the couple sold milk tea with a net worth of over 14 billion.

According to public reports, the founder of Chabaidao, Wang Xiaolong, and his wife, Liu Yuhong, were both born in the 1980s. Wang Xiaolong was a senior tea artist and his wife was a tea lover. Because they have accumulated rich tea knowledge and practical experience in their past work and life, they started the entrepreneurial experience of a tea shop.　

In 2008, near Wenjiang No.2 Middle School in Chengdu, Sichuan, the first Chabaidao opened. This store, which is less than 20 square meters, is mainly for students with low spending power, and mainly sells powdered milk tea in the form of foreign belts.　

At that time, compared with the hot demand of portable brewing milk tea, the existing tea was still in its infancy. The emergence of "Tea Hundred Ways" just fills this blank. With good products and affordable prices, it has successfully attracted the attention of students’ consumer groups. The blank of the market itself, coupled with the advantages of site selection, enabled Wang and his wife to successfully earn the first bucket of gold. A year later, they opened a second branch on the campus of Southwestern University of Finance and Economics (Liulin Campus).　

In 2010, the trademark "Tea Hundred Roads" was officially registered. In the same year, two major desktop milk tea brands, Diandian and coco, successively entered the mainland for development. In the following years, a number of existing tea brands such as Xicha, Lujiao Lane and Naixue Tea began to rise, and new Chinese tea officially entered the stage of branding and chain development.　

△ Image source: Chabaidao official little red book　

In 2016, Chabaidao opened its franchise in Chengdu for the first time, upgraded its stores and started its brand operation. This year, the number of stores in Chabaidao exceeded 100.　

Generally speaking, the development speed of Tea Hundred Roads in the early stage is not fast, and the sense of existence is not strong.　

It was not until 2018 that this situation began to change. This year, Chabaidao began to aim at the whole country, which opened the expansion of the whole country, and the rapid growth of Chabaidao began to enter the investor’s field of vision.　

In May and June, 2023, Chabaidao successively received two rounds of financing totaling 970 million yuan, which was led by Lanxin Asia, followed by many well-known investment institutions such as Zhengxin Valley, Grassroots Zhiben, CICC and Tomato Capital, with a post-investment valuation of 17.6 billion yuan.　

According to the latest prospectus information of Chabaidao, Wang Hao and Liu Yuhong hold about 81.75% of the shares of Chabaidao. According to the valuation of 18 billion, their net worth has reached about 14.5 billion yuan. Wang Hao and Liu Yuhong also made the Hurun Report in 2023 and became the new "dark horse" in the rich list in 2023.　

02.99% of the revenue depends on franchisees, and the pressure on the supply chain is not small.

Looking back on the development of Tea Hundred Roads, we can see that joining in business is an important driving force for the rapid development of Tea Hundred Roads.　

According to the prospectus, as of December 31st, 2023, Chabaidao has opened 8,016 stores in China, covering 31 provinces and cities across the country, achieving comprehensive coverage of all provinces and county-level cities in China. Among them, the proportion of franchise stores accounted for 99%.　

On the surface, it seems that Chabaidao is a direct consumer-oriented business, but in fact, Chabaidao is similar to Mixue Ice City, and it is also a supply chain company wearing a milk tea coat. Selling goods and equipment to franchisees is the core business of Chabaidao.　

According to the prospectus, from 2021 to 2023, Chabaidao achieved revenues of 3.625 billion yuan, 4.197 billion yuan and 5.659 billion yuan through franchise stores, accounting for more than 99% of the total revenue; Among them, the income from selling goods and equipment to franchise stores accounts for about 95%, and the gross profit margin of this business is also maintained at about 32%.　

△ Chart source: screenshot of Cha Baidao prospectus　

The core of this business model, similar to S2B2C, is to reduce the operating costs of franchisees and improve the overall profitability through the advantages of supply chain and standardized processes.　

However, unlike the self-built supply chain of Mixue Ice City, Chabaidao mainly relies on third-party suppliers and other business partners to provide raw materials and services for it.　

According to the prospectus, in 2023, the procurement ratio of Chabaidao from its top five external suppliers (including dairy products, sugar, juice and other ingredients, packaging materials, etc.) was as high as 36.6%.　

△ Chart source: screenshot of Cha Baidao prospectus　

Perhaps it is also realized that there is no small risk in relying on third-party suppliers. Therefore, in the past several rounds of financing, Cha Baidao has repeatedly mentioned that the funds raised are mainly used to improve the overall operational capability and strengthen the supply chain capability.　

At present, Chabaidao has established a supply chain center covering every key link of supply chain management from product development, procurement, logistics to after-sales service and quality control. At the same time, Sichuan Tea Co., Ltd. was established to provide brand logistics and distribution services.　

In addition, Chabaidao and Bawang Chaji jointly established Sichuan Chabenyuan New Materials Technology Co., Ltd.. The company’s business scope includes research and development of new materials technology, manufacturing of bio-based materials, standardization services, sales and manufacturing of plastic products, sales of packaging materials and products, and import and export of goods.　

It is worth noting that in addition to the continuous strengthening of the supply chain, Chabaidao has been actively exploring overseas markets and coffee tracks in the past two years.　

In December 2023, Chabaidao opened the first store of coffee sub-brand "Coffee Ash" in Chengdu, and entered the coffee track for the first time.　

In January 2024, Chabaidao officially went to sea, and the first overseas store was selected in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea. Later, stores were opened in Seoul Hongda and Seoul Yau Pavilion. As of April 20, 2024, the number of Chabaidao stores in Korea has reached three.　

At present, it remains to be seen whether Chabaidao has explored the new amount in terms of going to sea and coffee business.　

03. Queue for listing, and the 2024 New Tea Listing Competition started.

In fact, in addition to the hundreds of teas, there are many tea brands waiting in line for listing.　

In January this year, Mi Xue Bing Cheng and Gu Ming submitted prospectuses to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at the same time. Subsequently, on February 14th, Auntie Shanghai, a tea brand, submitted a prospectus to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The co-sponsors were CITIC Securities, haitong international and Dongzheng International.　

△ Image source: Red Meal Network photo　

On April 11th, the Hong Kong Economic Daily also reported that Bawang Tea Ji would go public in the United States as soon as the middle of this year, raising between 200 million and 300 million US dollars (a contract of 1.57 billion to 2.35 billion Hong Kong dollars).　

Why do new tea brands start to get together and go public? In this regard, there are many views in the industry that whoever can take the lead in successful IPO will seize the opportunity among the tea drinks that are "rolled out of the sky".　

In particular, tea brands need a lot of financial support to cope with the competition in the current tea track such as "joining war", "sinking war" and "price war".　

In the past year, in addition to hundreds of teas, brands such as Guming and Auntie in Shanghai have also announced the sprint of 10,000 stores. In order to achieve this goal first, brands often need more funds to spread the store network. With the cooling of the new consumer investment market, the attention of the primary market to the new tea market has obviously declined. Therefore, listing has become a new way for new tea drinkers to obtain funds.　

But the success of listing does not mean that the brand can sit back and relax. Take Chabaidao as an example, it and most new tea brands are in the mid-range price range of 10-20 yuan, including the above-mentioned Guming, Shanghai Auntie and Bawang Tea Ji, which are already waiting in line for listing.　

There are many competitors, and the homogenization of new tea itself has become more and more serious. It is conceivable that these new tea brands in the middle price zone will still face a lot of competitive pressure in the future.　

　　On the evening of November 15, a picture of a finless porpoise suspected of being illegally caught was circulated on several online platforms. On the 16th, the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Xiangyin County, Yueyang City, Hunan Province sent a letter of illegal fishing clue transfer to the Xiangyin County Public Security Bureau. The Paper learned that the public security organs in Yueyang are trying their best to verify this clue.

　　The finless porpoise is suspected of being illegally caught. Image source: Internet

　　According to the clue transfer letter from the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Xiangyin County, the source of the clue is Xia Wei, deputy director of the Management Committee of Henglinghu Provincial Nature Reserve, which is located in Xiangyin.

　　Xia Wei told The Paper that after 11pm on the 15th, he received a screenshot forwarded by a friend. That’s a photo of a finless porpoise being caught ashore. In the photo, the finless porpoise has a fishing tackle on his lips, and a man stands behind the finless porpoise. As a staff member of a nature reserve, he immediately became nervous and asked his friends about the source of the pictures. A friend said that he also saw it from a group of fishing friends. The earliest time for this picture to appear in the group was 10: 40 that day. Some screenshots chat that this is "caught by loach".

　　In Xia Wei’s view, the finless porpoise is very smart. Generally, it only eats half a catty to five catties of fish, so it is unlikely to be lured by loach. But he is still worried that this picture reflects the real situation, and "did you catch it yourself (Xiangyin)?" "If it is, it must be dealt with seriously." He thought to himself.

　　The next morning, before going to work, Xia Wei reflected the picture clues to the Xiangyin County Agriculture and Rural Bureau.

　　The transfer letter from the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Xiangyin County showed that at 6: 54 am on the 16th, the bureau received a screenshot of the illegal fishing of finless porpoise released by Xia Wei who forwarded it to the relevant personnel of "Xiangjiang Baiting Actual Combat Group". The finless porpoise is a national first-class protected animal, and fishing and catching finless porpoise are suspected to constitute a crime.

　　"Our bureau attaches great importance to this, but this photo reflects a small amount of information, and netizens have different opinions on the location of the incident. Therefore, we handed over the clues to the local public security organs at the first time, requesting to trace the key information such as the place where the incident occurred, the shooting time, and the specific personnel reflected in the photo to check whether the incident occurred in our county, so as to carry out the next step. " Tao Feng of Xiangyin Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau told The Paper, and then there was a clue transfer letter that netizens saw.

　　The Ministry of Public Security has paid attention to

　　On the afternoon of November 16th, the relevant person in charge of the Propaganda Department of Xiangyin County Committee told The Paper that the public security organ of Xiangyin County attached great importance to it after receiving the clue. Because the information reflected in the picture was extremely limited, it was not certain that it was in Xiangyin, nor could it be sure of the authenticity and source of the picture, so it was reported to Yueyang Public Security Bureau. At present, the public security organs of Yueyang City are fully verifying it.

　　Xia Wei introduced that after reporting the screenshot information of the finless porpoise, he got a video of the finless porpoise being caught for about 10 seconds.

　　In the video, a man asked in Mandarin, "What kind of fish is this? What fish? " Some women answered a few words in dialect. Xia Wei feels that this is not Xiangyin dialect, and he is not sure whether the finless porpoise in the video and the picture is the same, but both pictures have iron grilles on the ground. The finless porpoise in the picture is black and wet, and it should have just landed, but the finless porpoise in the video has turned white under the action of light and is obviously dead.

　　Daming He, a volunteer of Yueyang Dongdongting Ecological Protection Association, told The Paper that he also saw the pictures posted on the Internet. Daming He was a fisherman who had been dealing with finless porpoises for many years. He was not sure whether the finless porpoises were caught ashore, but he introduced that some people in other places used "anchor hooks" to hook the finless porpoises — — Anchoring fish is a prohibited fishing method. This year, the Yangtze River basin has been severely dry, the lakes of Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake have shrunk, the movable area of finless porpoises has also shrunk a lot, and there are more and more anglers. "Even if you catch a finless porpoise, you should release it immediately. Don’t they know that the finless porpoise is a panda in the water? " Daming He said.

In today’s entertainment circle, traffic is the key to attracting attention, while the world is the necessary skill for survival. Rulu, as a famous actress in China, writes her own legend in this complicated vanity fair with her eclectic and straightforward personality. Although her acting skills are remarkable in the eyes of the audience, she has frequently become the focus of media discussion because of the phenomenon of "fire can’t get up". In the context of the rise of many traffic stars, why does Rulu not follow the trend and choose to stick to itself?

Early experience and growth period

Rulu was born in Xinjiang in 1987, an ordinary and warm family. From an early age, she showed her love for performance and began to learn dance when she was only six years old. Her parents don’t have much artistic background, but they are very supportive of her dreams and often accompany her to participate in various literary activities. After unremitting efforts, Rulu was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama in 2006 and became a student of this top art school, and her acting career began.

At school, Rulu played many small roles, which were affirmed by the teacher every time. She was not complacent because of her early achievements, but continued to work hard and actively participated in various extracurricular activities to improve her performance skills and artistic accomplishment. In 2009, Jiang Xin made her debut in the TV series "The Seven Fairies with Joy". Although she was a supporting role, her acting left a deep impression on the audience. This role helped her gain initial popularity in the circle and laid the foundation for her future development.

Career ups and downs

Rulu’s career was not smooth sailing. After entering the entertainment circle, she chose a lot of different types of roles in order to break through herself. However, the competition in the entertainment circle is fierce, and many young actors quickly become popular because of the temporary heat, but Rulu has always maintained his own pace. Her participation in Empresses in the Palace made her more famous. As the role of Hua Fei, she was impressive because of her strong personality and complex psychology. However, with it, there are also higher expectations and pressures.

During this period, Rulu gradually realized that acting alone was not enough to stand on its feet in this era. In order to cater to the market, she also tried to step into the tide of traffic stars and participate in the recording of variety shows. However, her personality doomed her to be difficult to cater to the audience like other artists. In an interview, she said frankly: "I have always longed for truth. I am not the kind of person who can cater to the public casually. I just want to be myself. " Although this persistence made her unable to catch fire quickly, it also won the recognition and support of many like-minded people.

Facing the Controversy: Preserving the True Self

Rulu’s outspokenness made her controversial on some occasions. For example, on one occasion, she expressed her dissatisfaction with a development in Jimmy Lin on social media, which aroused the resentment of some netizens, who thought that Rulu lacked respect for his predecessors. However, Rulu’s supporters believe that this is part of her personality: straightforward and unpretentious. When she cooperated with Chen Jianbin, she had fierce words and even "anger", which caused a lot of discussion among people in the industry.

This "honest and frank" style is particularly noticeable in the complicated entertainment circle of the world. Many people think that it is Rulu’s unwillingness to cater to such complicated rules of the game that makes her miss many opportunities. Many actors are weighing their words and deeds for resources, but Rulu always chooses sincerity. At the same time, this persistence has also caused her to be isolated to some extent.

The balance between acting and popularity

The straightforward style not only reflects Rulu’s personality, but also reflects her understanding of the nature of actors. In an era of increasing attention to flow and exposure, Rulu conveys the most authentic feelings to the audience with his role of insight into people’s hearts. Her role is always full of power and can resonate with the public. Although her performance on social media is not as active as that of popular niche, her wonderful interpretation in the play made the audience remember her and brought her word of mouth and evaluation.

Recently, several TV dramas that Rulu participated in still got good ratings, and her acting skills also won high praise from experts in the industry. Therefore, although her popularity and popularity are not the same as those of traffic stars, it cannot hide her strength. Perhaps, she used her real works to tell everyone that the value of an actor is far more important than the flow. On the other hand, she shows us the power to stick to ourselves and how to keep a sober self in vanity fair.

Summary and enlightenment

Rulu’s story profoundly reflects the complex relationship and survival law in the contemporary entertainment circle. In this rapidly changing era, faced with the pressure of traffic supremacy, she insists on truth in her own way and refuses to cater to it. This persistence sometimes makes her encounter difficulties and resistance, and she must find her own position in every choice. Although her "fire can’t get up" is heartbreaking, this is the path she chose to take.

This attitude of insisting on self and pursuing truth not only inspires the practitioners in the entertainment circle, but also provides reflection and reference for ordinary people. In the face of the world, how to keep true self in complicated relationships and keep firm belief in one’s choice may be the challenge that everyone needs to face in society. Whether in career or life, the attitude of bravely pursuing the true self will make everyone more tenacious and calm. As Jiang Xin shows, even if the road is rugged, as long as there is light in your heart, you will definitely find your own starry sky.

After entering 2024, we can find that BYD Club has been making great moves. For example, several new cars have been on the market some time ago, and the upcoming GT will be the most concerned in the near future. Recently, the spy photos of the car’s interior have also been officially exposed. According to the current product plan, the car is expected to be officially unveiled at the Chengdu Auto Show, which will open at the end of the month, and is expected to be officially listed on September 30.

From the spy photos, it can be found that the 06 GT also continues the consistent design concept of the Ocean Net family in the interior, and the combination of full LCD instrument panel and suspended central control screen is also adopted above the center console. The overall style design is based on simple sports. Although the car is also called Seal 06, from the details of the interior, it will still be different from Seal 06 DM-i, which has been listed before.

There is also a wireless charging panel under the central control screen, and the iconic crystal electronic gear handle and circular physical button area of Ocean Net family are also preserved.

Review the styling design of new cars.

As far as the new car is concerned, its design is believed to be familiar to everyone. After all, it has appeared in the declaration list of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology before, and there have been spy photos of real cars exposed. It can be seen that the new car has also adopted the latest family-style design of the ocean series, so the overall design of the new car has a high similarity with Seal 06DM-I. As a GT version, the car also has its own sports encirclement, which also makes the whole car look sporty.

In addition, the length, width and height of the new car are 4630/1880/1490mm and the wheelbase is 2820mm, which is obviously different from that of Seal 06 DM-i (the dimensions are 4830mm long, 1875mm wide and 1495mm high and the wheelbase is 2790mm). Of course, this is also the consistent style of BYD’s products, like the DM-i version. Therefore, strictly speaking, they should be regarded as two independent products.

Seal 06 GT from the orthodox pure electric platform will also provide a single-motor rear-drive version, in which the single-motor version provides two different powers of 160kW and 165kW, while the dual-motor version adopts the combination of front AC asynchronous motor (110 kW) and rear permanent magnet synchronous motor (200kW).

In terms of battery pack, two kinds of blade batteries with specifications of 59.52kWh and 72.96kWh are provided, and the corresponding cruising range under CLTC condition is 505km, 605km and 550km (four-wheel drive version), which has also reached the mainstream level in endurance.

Write to the end

For BYD Ocean Net’s products, such as those with high popularity, including fleet series, etc., the product naming can be described in many ways, and after 2024, the naming of Ocean Net products will also be optimized and adjusted.

At present, marine products are mainly divided into two series: "seal" series and "sea lion" series. Among them, the "Sea Seal" series corresponds to the car category, while the "Sea Lion" series corresponds to the SUV category. The number of product model suffix indicates the product grade, and the current product grade includes 05, 06, 07, etc. As for the tail logo of the product model, it represents the specific attributes of the product, such as DM-i logo for version. Like the Seal 06 GT mentioned today, the product had several declared names in the early days, and was even officially named Seal X. However, the current naming method is obviously more convenient for consumers to understand and identify.

Choice: or? Now, the purchase of engine oil has become an important issue. Many car owners are confused when faced with all kinds of engine oil products. Among them, synthetic engine oil and synthetic engine oil are two common types of engine oil, and many car owners also want to know which one is better. This article will analyze the differences and characteristics of these two oils in detail and help you make the right choice. First of all, let’s understand the definitions of these two kinds of engine oils: synthetic engine oil refers to the engine oil prepared by synthetic method, while all synthetic engine oil refers to the engine oil blended with fully synthetic base oil. Compared with mineral engine oil, these two kinds of engine oils have higher performance and longer service life. So, which engine oil is better? Let’s analyze their advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of synthetic engine oil is that it has good high temperature resistance and oxidation resistance, which can effectively protect and prolong its service life.

In addition, synthetic engine oil has a high viscosity index, which can keep the viscosity stable in a wide temperature range, thus providing better lubrication effect for the engine. However, due to its relatively high price, not all car owners can accept it. Synthetic engine oil has better durability and fuel economy. Because it is made of synthetic base oil, it has better oxidation stability and high temperature performance. When the engine runs at high temperature for a long time, synthetic engine oil can better protect the engine. In addition, synthetic engine oil has a lower viscosity, which can reduce the friction loss of the engine, thus improving fuel economy. However, the price in synthetic engine oil is relatively high, which is not suitable for all car owners. On the whole, whether to choose synthetic engine oil or synthetic engine oil should be decided according to your vehicle and driving habits.

If you are driving a luxury car or car, and often drive in high temperature environment for a long time, then synthetic engine oil may be a better choice. Because this type of vehicle needs better lubrication and protection to keep the engine running normally. At the same time, if you pay attention to fuel economy and want to extend the service life of the engine, then synthetic engine oil is also a good choice. However, if you are driving an economical car or commercial vehicle and the driving environment is relatively good, then synthetic engine oil may be more suitable for you. There are other factors to consider when making a choice. The first is the viscosity selection of engine oil. The higher the viscosity, the worse the fluidity at low temperature, while the lower the viscosity, the worse the lubricity at high temperature. Therefore, when choosing engine oil, you should choose the viscosity grade suitable for your vehicle type and use environment. Secondly, the brand choice of engine oil.

Choosing famous brand engine oil can not only ensure the quality and performance of engine oil, but also get better after-sales service. In a word, whether to choose synthetic engine oil or synthetic engine oil should be decided according to your vehicle and driving habits. In the selection, factors such as performance, price, viscosity grade and brand of engine oil need to be considered. I hope this article can help you make the right choice. Finally, ask a question: Do you choose synthetic engine oil or all of synthetic engine oil? Why? Synthetic engine oil and synthetic engine oil are two common types of engine oil on the market. But you may be confused when choosing which oil is suitable for your vehicle. This article will discuss the characteristics and scope of application of synthetic engine oil and synthetic engine oil to help you make a wise choice. First of all, let’s understand the differences between synthetic engine oil and synthetic engine oil.

All-synthetic engine oil is manufactured by artificial synthesis, and its molecular structure is very uniform, with excellent lubrication performance and thermal stability. Synthetic engine oil is made by mixing it with synthetic base oil, and its performance is between mineral oil and all of synthetic engine oil. So, what kind of vehicles are suitable for use in synthetic engine oil? The performance requirements of synthetic engine oil are relatively high, which is suitable for high-performance engines and vehicles requiring higher lubrication performance. If you own a sports car or often drive at high speed, then all of synthetic engine oil will be a good choice. It can provide better lubrication and protection, reduce friction and wear, and prolong engine life. For general family cars, synthetic engine oil may be more suitable. This type of vehicle has relatively low performance requirements for engine oil, and the price in synthetic engine oil is relatively low, which can better meet your budget requirements.

Synthetic engine oil still has good lubricity and oxidation resistance, which can effectively protect the engine and prolong the oil change cycle. Of course, whether you choose synthetic engine oil or synthetic engine oil should be decided according to your vehicle type and driving habits. If your vehicle has high performance and often drives with high load, then synthetic engine oil may be more suitable. And if your vehicle is mainly used for daily commuting or long-distance travel, then synthetic engine oil may be a more economical choice. In addition to choosing engine oil type, we should also pay attention to choosing regular channels to buy reliable engine oil products. There are many fake and shoddy engine oil products on the market, and their quality cannot be guaranteed, which is likely to cause damage to the engine. Therefore, when buying engine oil, it is recommended to choose a brand with credibility and reputation, and ensure that the product has relevant certification marks. In a word, it is very important to choose the oil type suitable for your vehicle.

All of synthetic engine oil and synthetic engine oil have their own advantages and scope of application. Make a wise choice according to your vehicle type and driving habits. At the same time, remember to choose regular channels to buy reliable oil products to ensure that your vehicle is fully lubricated and protected. Do you know the difference between synthetic engine oil and synthetic engine oil? Do you have any questions or other suggestions about choosing engine oil?
