The company’s quarterly revenue was 76.50 billion yuan (RMB, the same below), an increase of 22.1% over last year. Based on the business strategy of improving quality and efficiency, the main business performance was solid and healthy, driving the company’s overall adjusted net profit to 5.73 billion yuan.

  Relying on various local real economic entities, Meituan provides goods and services to more Chinese consumers. As of the end of the third quarter, the number of annual active transaction users, the number of annual active merchants and the frequency of user purchases all hit a record high, and the total order volume of instant delivery reached 6.20 billion, an increase of 23% year-on-year. Among them, the peak order of catering takeaway day exceeded 78 million orders in the quarter, and the peak order of Meituan flash sale day exceeded 13 million orders, all of which maintained a strong growth momentum.

  "Thanks to continuous innovation and investment in service retail and merchandise retail, Meituan’s business continued to achieve solid growth this quarter," said Wang Xing, CEO of Meituan. "We will continue to implement the company’s strategy of’Retail + Technology ‘, empowering the digital transformation of various life services industries through technology, helping the local real economy, and contributing more to the pursuit of a better life for consumers and practitioners."

  Instant retail improves quality and efficiency, leading to a highly deterministic lifestyle and business model

  Instant retail, which is "based on local supply, relying on instant delivery, and meeting immediate demand", is increasingly popular with consumers and operators. Meituan’s instant delivery orders grew to 6.20 billion in the third quarter, which also drove the quarterly revenue of the core local commercial segment including food and beverage delivery, Meituan flash sale and in-store hotel business to 57.70 billion yuan.

  This quarter, Meituan’s takeaway business focused more on high-quality growth and refined operations, serving platform merchants with better user experience and more efficient digital means. Meituan’s explosive marketing tool "God’s Seize" launched by Meituan Takeaway stimulated consumer demand for orders through live broadcasts, seckill, short videos, etc., and helped merchants grow both sales and new customers. Data show that in the "God’s Seize" activity on the day of the beginning of autumn, a total of 150,000 milk tea stores participated in the beginning of autumn milk tea carnival. The sales volume of milk tea on that day exceeded 21 million orders. After the beginning of autumn last year, the number of participating merchants and the order volume reached a historical peak.

Front warehouses have gradually become a new trend in instant retail formats. Meituan lightning warehouses, as an effective supplement to offline supply, also exceeded 5,000 in this quarter. At the same time, more consumers’ immediate needs have been met instantly, and traditional e-commerce categories such as digital home appliances and beauty products have begun to become a typical supply of instant retail. In the third quarter, Meituan flash sales users and transaction frequency continued to grow, and the daily order peak exceeded 13 million orders on the day of Qixi Festival.

  The scale of service retail has grown strongly, and multiple measures have been taken to stimulate local consumption potential

  Since the beginning of this year, the new retail formats represented by service retail have not only brought consumers experience upgrades, but also further deepened the digital transformation of physical businesses, and further activated the growth potential of local consumption. Meituan continues to optimize platform supply, enabling more local service providers to usher in certain growth in Meituan through the two-wheel drive of popular live broadcast and online store shelf e-commerce. In the third quarter, the transaction volume of the store, hotel and tourism business increased by more than 90% year-on-year, the number of quarterly active merchants increased by more than 50% year-on-year, and the number of quarterly transaction users also increased significantly.

  In the third quarter, Meituan’s official live broadcast continued to expand its coverage to more than 200 cities.

The quarterly transaction volume and room night volume of the wine travel business achieved significant growth compared with the same periods in 2019 and 2021.

  The special group buying area launched by Meituan has not only further deepened Meituan’s money-saving mentality in consumers’ hearts through the supply of cost-effective products, but also the strong consumer demand has attracted more local merchants to participate. Large chain merchants such as Mixue Bingcheng, Lele Tea, and Weidomei have chosen to join the Meituan special group buying area. The special group buying transaction volume continued to grow steadily in this quarter.

  The new consumption, new business models, and new models of service retail have also brought more job opportunities. In the first three quarters of this year, the number of jobs directly related to service retail on the platform increased by more than 30% year-on-year.

  Chen Shaohui, Meituan CFO, said: "In the third quarter, Meituan continued to focus on customers, adding richer content and services, enhancing service quality and efficiency in various categories, bringing more convenient and higher-quality lifestyles to consumers, and providing operators with a digital business model that combines online and offline. We will continue to firmly create long-term value for all participants through technological investment and service innovation."

British architect Zaha passed away, his works include Wangjing SOHO and Galaxy SOHO

Zaha

Famous for Vitra Fire Station

  Zaha Hadi, a world-renowned British architect of Iraqi origin, died at 65 of a heart attack while being treated for bronchitis at a Miami hospital, according to a BBC report. She was known as the "witch" of architecture. She had four projects in Beijing: Wangjing SOHO, Galaxy SOHO, Lize SOHO and the new airport’s Terminal 1.

  Died suddenly in the hospital

  Zaha Hadid Architects confirmed her death on its Web site, which said she had contracted bronchitis earlier this week and had suffered a heart attack while being treated at a hospital. She died suddenly on the morning of March 31 local time. After the news of her death broke, the architects’ Web site was repeatedly busy and inaccessible.

  Extremely famous in the architectural world

  Zaha is well-known in international architecture, having become the first female architect to win the Pulitzer Prize in 2004, says Frank Gehry, a jury judge. "The 2004 winner is probably one of the youngest to win and one of the clearest designs I have seen in years. Her work is full of passion and innovation." Last year, Zaha became the first female architect to win the Royal Gold Medal, the highest award in British architecture, from the Royal Institute of British Architects.

  Zaha has designed many well-known architectural works around the world, such as the New National Arena in Tokyo, the BMW Central Building in Germany, the London Olympic Swimming Pool in the United Kingdom, the Abu Dhabi Performing Arts Center, the Innsbruck Cable Car Station in Austria, the Fino Science Center in Wolfsburg, Germany, the Cincinnati Center for Contemporary Art in the United States, and the 170-meter glass tower in Milan.

  In Beijing, Zaha’s work includes New Airport Terminal 1, Wangjing SOHO, Galaxy SOHO, and Lize SOHO.

  Zhang Xin, chief executive of Soho China, also wrote on Weibo last night: "I just received the shocking news that my good friend Zaha Hadid, an architect, died of a heart attack this morning in Miami. Seeing her in New York last week, I didn’t expect her to be the last of us."

  Zaha’s employee, Chinese architect Shen Jianghai:

  Her temper is just critical of the design itself

  "She has influenced almost everyone who does architectural design," Shen Jianghai, a Chinese architect and former employee of Zaha, told reporters in the morning. Since she was 19 years old and a freshman in college, Zaha has been her most admired architect, and this worship has continued to this day. It has not changed for more than a decade, and no designer can replace it. "It was Zaha who let me know that architecture can be different, and it was also she who taught me from my freshman year how important it is for designers to persevere!"

  Shen Jianghai said that in June 2010, he was fortunate enough to get an interview with Zaha Architects and then went to work there. During his working days, everyone worked in a small house that used to be renovated by a girls’ school, so they were able to see her often. Although Zaha’s temper is not very good, it does not affect the charm of a designer at all, and she is usually very gentle, and her temper is only critical of the design itself. "In fact, at that time, I felt that her physical condition was not very good."

  Controversies are also her charm

  Mr. Shen said it was not unusual for Mr. Zaha’s architectural work to be the subject of controversy online a few years ago over his project in Beijing, which was described by some as "the curve of God and the waves of heaven" and others as ugly.

  "The controversy about Zaha is not limited to China. In fact, the world has been full of controversy about Zaha since she was discovered by Japanese architect Isozaki after her first project. But this is also the charm of Zaha, because she has led architectural design to a completely different field. Without her persistence and even paranoia, people would not know that architecture can also be streamlined." Shin Jianghai said that what he admires most about Zaha is her criticism of reality and her non-conformity.

  Talking about Zaha and China, in Shen Jianghai’s observation, he felt that Zaha was very interested in China, and not just in the market. "In addition, she sometimes invites colleagues to eat, and she also likes to go to an expensive Chinese restaurant near Chinatown."

  Today, the Architect’s Moments are filled with tributes to Zaha. As Shen Jianghai said, without Zaha, he would not be who he is today, and his designs would not be what they are today. "Please go all the way, many people say, you led mankind to a new world, and then you returned to your planet."

  character life

  The road to fame is full of thorns

  Zaha was born in 1950 in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, into a wealthy, enlightened family. Her parents believed in the independence of education, and they invested a lot of expectations in their daughter. Her father’s son, a close friend, was a brilliant architect, and the brother next door had a great influence on the young Zaha.

  In 1982, Zaha won the first prize in an international architectural competition held in Hong Kong, China, strengthening her belief in continuing in this field. However, Zaha’s work was rejected in the first review. It was Japanese architect Shin Isozaki who had the unique eyes to fish her plan out of the waste paper pile.

  Zaha was so inspired that she taught at Harvard, Yale and other prestigious universities, and her design works cover almost all design categories, including doors and windows, furniture, sculpture ornaments, lamps, chairs, water glasses and tableware. Her paintings are even more avant-garde and have been exhibited all over the world. Her works are permanently collected by industry authorities such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Deutsches Architecture Museum in Frankfurt.

  Ms. Zaha’s path to fame was fraught with thorns. Despite her early reputation as a "master deconstructionist," and despite her bold use of geometry and the many awards she has won, sometimes as many as four a year, many people still reject her bizarre designs.

BYD Han’s sales volume has exceeded 10,000 for several months in a row, and what impressed consumers is performance and quality.

Since 2009, China has surpassed the United States to become the world’s largest automobile producer and consumer market. In the following ten years, China’s automobile market has undergone earth-shaking changes, from the initial "market for technology" to "overtaking by changing lanes" under the wave of electrification. Of course, "lane-changing overtaking" can’t just be said by mouth, but it should be realized through the core technology of completely independent new energy vehicles. At the same time, it is necessary to be able to independently produce world-class high-quality new energy vehicles in order to realize the real "lane-changing overtaking".

Looking at the current independent brands, it is obviously BYD, the new energy leader, who is most likely to achieve "overtaking in different lanes". Especially since its flagship model "Han" came out, its sales volume has exceeded 10,000 for several months in a row, and it has become the benchmark product of China brand medium and large cars. In the fierce competition market, why BYD Han can achieve excellent results, the super-high product quality is definitely the core factor. In March, 2021, BYD held the activity of "Tempering-BYD’s Quality Journey", which made us really see BYD’s quality standards and intentions.

Safety is the core, and BYD Han was tempered like this.

There is a popular saying in the automobile circle: making cars that are not aimed at safety is hooliganism. BYD has always spared no effort in terms of safety. As the flagship model of BYD, Han has become an "industry leader" in the safety field.

It is understood that in the process of vehicle development, BYD has carried out a large number of simulation designs for safety, and simulated the passive safety of the whole vehicle, system, subsystem and parts in the event of collision through mathematical models. In order to reach the safety level defined in the planning, Han adopted a high-safety car body, in which 43 pieces of military-grade thermoformed steel were used, and BYD Han used 97kg of thermoformed steel in body-in-white, which not only ranked first among China brand mass-produced cars, but also nearly twice as much as the second one, creating "invisible" protection and safer driving experience for consumers.

the Han Dynasty/the Han nationality/Chinese (language)/man

There is a saying that what you get from the paper is shallow. For car safety, nothing is more convincing than a crash test. The vehicle collision laboratory built by BYD with huge investment can not only carry out basic frontal, offset and side collision tests, but also carry out frontal 40% overlapping deformable rigid barrier collision, frontal 25% overlapping rigid barrier collision, rear-end collision, tumbling and column collision, and even real collision between two vehicles at high speed. It is one of the most advanced vehicle safety collision laboratories in the world.

The outstanding collision laboratory, to a great extent, represents BYD’s extra care in safety. In addition to the common crash tests such as frontal, side and rear-end collision before listing, Han also conducted more stringent and complicated safety tests for the complexity of road traffic and the characteristics of new energy vehicles, such as frontal collision with a top speed of 120km/h and ultra-difficult small offset collision, so as to ensure the safety of users in extreme traffic accidents to the maximum extent.

Of course, for new energy vehicles, in addition to the safety of vehicles, battery safety is the focus of everyone’s attention. For this reason, BYD has launched a blade battery. In this activity, the acupuncture test was displayed on the spot. Compared with the ternary lithium battery, it exploded and caught fire instantly after puncture, and the blade battery completed the puncture test steadily, which showed us BYD’s strength in leading the global power battery safety to a new height.

Besides safety, BYD Han’s high quality is reflected in its high reliability and long life. When we walked into BYD Parts Testing Center, there were a series of test stands, such as steering system laboratory, suspension system durability test platform, vehicle four-column test bench and environmental warehouse, MAST multi-axis simulation vibration test bench, 24-channel road simulation test bench, etc. The repeated tests made BYD Han more reliable. Not only that, BYD Han has to complete the "three highs" test in a harsh and extreme environment, and run on real roads in Heilongjiang, Tibet, Hainan Island and other places in the country through the team’s self-driving mode, which makes BYD dare to target the life of the whole vehicle at 600,000 kilometers, which is twice as much as that of the same class.

The sales volume is only the beginning, and BYD Han leads the brand upward.

As mentioned above, BYD Han has sold more than 10,000 cars for several months in a row, and in terms of sales volume, it is second only to the "Three Musketeers" (Audi A6L (parameter picture), Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series) models with a monthly sales volume of 10,000, which is far away from other competitors. As the only new energy vehicle with a monthly sales of over 10,000 yuan in the current medium and large car market, Han can be said to have achieved a milestone breakthrough, marking the official entry of China brand into the same class car head camp.

Byd Han, as a heavyweight model of BYD for ten years, has a more important significance besides sales volume, which is to lead the brand upward and lead its own brand to hit the high-end market. When it comes to the upward trend of China’s automobile brand, behind it is the upward trend of technology. As BYD’s flagship model, Han has 12 best in the world and 9 best in China, setting a benchmark for the safety, performance and luxury of new energy vehicles. It can be said that with strong technical strength, Han has subverted consumers’ cognition of the mid-to-high-end car market, and made a solid step on the road to the breakthrough of China brand cars.

When major car companies are still simply pursuing single indicators such as battery life, BYD Han, which integrates the world’s leading hard-core technology, has set a new benchmark for the new energy industry. Byd Han’s strong product strength in performance, safety, luxury, design and other aspects has established the identity of the flagship model and made people see the powerful strength of the current China automobile brand.

In addition, the appearance of BYD Han not only created a new standard of global new energy vehicle technology and quality, but also rewritten the market structure of new energy vehicles and traditional fuel luxury vehicles. As the saying goes: hearing is empty, seeing is believing. Through the activity of "Quality Journey of BYD", we can see BYD’s focus on quality, and it is this focus that enables it to always lead the new energy market. Nowadays, with the arrival of the stock era, super-high quality is the first factor to impress consumers, which also gives us reason to believe that BYD will create more brilliant achievements in the future.

Xiaomi was exposed to 10% layoffs and the founding employees left, and Lei Jun once again faced heavy pressure.

Wen | Hunting Cloud Network Fei Wang

The Spring Festival of the Year of the Tiger is coming to an end, and Internet companies are scrambling to stage the drama of layoffs.

Recently, there are rumors that Xiaomi plans to lay off 10% of employees, and HR has already started an interview. Live a "radish squat" game.

Regarding the news of layoffs, Xiaomi responded urgently that there have been no layoffs in Xiaomi’s entrepreneurship, and at present, there are more than 4,000 hot jobs in Xiaomi that are still recruiting talents. Xiaomi welcomes outstanding talents to join.

In addition to the "layoffs" storm, the departure of Li Weixing, an employee of Xiaomi No.12, was also revealed.

According to Sina Technology, Li Weixing, a member of Xiaomi’s founding team and former vice chairman and secretary general of Xiaomi Technical Committee, left his post. Li Weixing is Xiaomi’s No.12 employee. On April 6, 2010, when Xiaomi Company was founded, Li Weixing was among the 13 people who drank millet porridge with Lei Jun.. He was in charge of MIUI development in the early days and then transferred to the technical committee.

At present, Li Weixing has left Xiaomi, and the specific reason for leaving is unknown.

"Layoff" began at the end of last year, and Xiaomi has good products and fish or is the first wave.

According to the report of Whip Cowboy, at the end of last year, Xiaomi experienced a wave of layoffs, and the department involved was Xiaomi Youpin. A person familiar with the matter said: "Because of the overlapping business, people who had good products and passed Xiaomi at the end of last year were laid off."

On January 17 this year, Xiaomi Youpin Youyu officially announced that due to business adjustment, Youpin Youyu will terminate its operation at 10: 00 on March 17, 2022, when users will not be able to access Youpin Youyu App and applets.

In addition, it was mentioned in the report of the whip ox that as early as last December, Xiaomi employees had to know the news that the company was going to "lay off employees". "The leaders of all departments are forced to assign 10% performance C indicators. Xiaomi’s assessment performance for employees is divided into three levels: A, B and C. Employees who get C mean to be interviewed by HR and may be laid off. "

The above-mentioned employees said, "Xiaomi has always had the tradition of’ elimination at the end’, but in the past, resigned employees topped the number of places eliminated at the end, but this wave was officially filed. In the second year, it was this wave (the person with performance appraisal C) that was laid off first. " According to the employee, "some old or redundant departments in the direction of the Internet, such as the information technology department, have been laid off more, while some departments with good benefits, few people or new ones have laid off fewer employees or even no employees, that is, they have not been assigned the index of C."

As a result, after the news of Xiaomi’s layoffs broke out, some relevant personnel of Xiaomi’s mobile phone products department said that they had not heard the news of layoffs and there was no layoffs in their team. Not only that, Xiaomi’s former employees recently received a text message saying: Xiaomi’s door is always open, welcome to join Xiaomi again.

As for who will be laid off, according to the above-mentioned employees, "there are two different views on the criteria for layoffs this time. One is to lay off the grassroots who do things. For example, he heard that there is a department with five people and four leaders, and the only one who works has been laid off. Another way of saying it is specifically for the middle-level people who are not qualified to fish.’ There are two middle-level leaders in our next-door department who left at the end of last year. I wonder if they were laid off.’ "

Coincidentally, on January 29 this year, there was just a personnel change inside Xiaomi Company: Chang Cheng, the group vice president and general manager of Xiaomi’s mobile phone products department, left for personal reasons; Shang Jin, former vice president of Xiaomi Group and general manager of China New Retail Department, also left for personal reasons.

It should be noted that Xiaomi mentioned in the above response that "4,000 hot jobs are still recruiting talents", which is easily reminiscent of Xiaomi’s car-making project.

Since the announcement of building a car in March last year, Xiaomi began to recruit talents in the fields of vehicle and autonomous driving. At the end of July last year, Xiaomi released 120 jobs in two days, mainly in the field of complete vehicles.

According to the salary announced by Xiaomi, the monthly salary of its recruitment position is between 20 and 60 K, with 14 salaries. The treatment is much higher than that of a group of new car-making forces.

In September, 2021, it was reported that Xiaomi would hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on October 25th to approve the adoption of Xiaomi EV’s equity incentive plan. The authorized limit of the plan is 1 billion shares, accounting for 10% of the total issued shares.

Coincidentally, at almost the same time, Yu Liguo, president of Yuanji Fox Automobile, joined Xiaomi. Only for various reasons, the news was not officially announced until January 14 this year. Xiaomi announced on the same day that he appointed Yu Liguo as the vice president of Xiaomi Automobile and the political commissar of Xiaomi Automobile Beijing Headquarters, responsible for coordinating the comprehensive management of Xiaomi Automobile, the promotion of special business and the organization and talent construction of Xiaomi Automobile Beijing Headquarters.

"Changes in operating conditions": the market share returned to the third place, and "high-end+car-making" burned money at both ends.

Regarding the news of "layoffs", some relevant personnel said that Xiaomi did not reduce the dismissal of employees because of changes in business conditions, but it was eliminated because of the mismatch of employees’ business capabilities.

The above-mentioned "changes in operating conditions" may be related to the sluggish share price of Xiaomi, or it may be related to high-end and "burning money" in making cars.

Relevant information shows that Xiaomi Group landed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on July 9, 2018, with an issue price of HK$ 17/share, but it broke when it went public. On September 2, 2019, Xiaomi Group’s share price once fell to the lowest point of HK$ 8.28/share. On the day of listing, Lei Jun once boasted to double the share price of investors who bought Xiaomi on the day of listing. Until January 4, 2021, Xiaomi’s share price closed at HK$ 34/share, and finally realized the promise of doubling IPO investors.

In the second quarter of 2021, Xiaomi’s mobile phone shipments ranked second in the world for the first time. However, the good times did not last long. According to the report of Canalys, a market research organization, the global market share of Xiaomi mobile phone was 14% in the third quarter of last year, which was not as good as Apple’s 15% market share, ranking third, and even lost the first position in Europe, Russia, Southeast Asia and other markets in one fell swoop.

Due to the combination of various factors, Xiaomi’s share price suffered a "five-day losing streak" before the Spring Festival, and even "Xiaomi broke again" was listed on Weibo Hot Search.

Up to now, Xiaomi’s share price is HK$ 16.28 per share, which is 54.65% lower than the high of HK$ 35.90 on January 5, 2021. The market value is HK$ 407.1 billion, and the evaporation at a higher point exceeds HK$ 490 billion.

"High-end" refers to the high-end strategy of Xiaomi announced by Lei Jun on February 8 this year: "The high-end road is the only way for Xiaomi’s growth, and it is also the battle of life and death for Xiaomi’s development. We will unswervingly implement the high-end strategy."

Lei Jun said: "The high-end road cannot be achieved overnight. We must insist that Qingshan will not relax, maintain long-term strategic strength and continuous investment, and resolutely implement the’ 100 billion in five years’ R&D plan."

However, a data from HCR Huichen shows that in 2021, the share of domestic high-end smartphones (models with a price of more than 5,000 yuan) reached 74.26%, while Huawei still maintained a market share of 17.82% after two years of shortage, and Xiaomi was even less than a fraction of Huawei’s mobile phone share, only 2.97%.

Building a car is a big event that is almost "well known" since Xiaomi officially announced in March 2021.

On March 30, 2021, Xiaomi Group announced that the board of directors of the company had officially approved the establishment of the smart electric vehicle business, with an initial investment of 10 billion yuan. It is estimated that the investment in the next 10 years will reach 10 billion US dollars (about 65.6 billion yuan).

At the press conference that night, Lei Jun claimed that he was willing to put all his reputation in life and personally lead the team to fight for Xiaomi Automobile! Lei Jun is even more heroic and said, "We can afford it" (the bottom spirit may come from the total cash reserve of over 100 billion yuan mentioned in Xiaomi’s annual report of the previous fiscal year).

It is roughly estimated that Xiaomi needs to be "high-end+car-making" within ten years, and the total cost is about 265.6 billion yuan.

However, Xiaomi’s "building a car" seems to have closed the "open source" door of external financing blood transfusion from the beginning. According to the relevant report of Tencent News "Qianwang", "In the past (around March 2021), a large number of friends in the investment circle asked Lei Jun whether there were investment opportunities, but they were all declined, because only when the car and Xiaomi mobile phone were fully connected could the business be done well."

Sales declined, the stock price was depressed, and "high-end+car-making" was another golden beast. In addition to "open source", Xiaomi seems to be able to "cut down" only through the veiled "elimination".

26 yuan, two tons of oranges? Online celebrity guides fans to take advantage of business mistakes "bonus hunter"

  "Double Eleven" is coming, and the vast number of "wool parties" are also eager to move, always ready to go out and use the loopholes in the platform to "bonus hunter". Recently, some netizens exposed that bilibili UP owner (self-media video uploader) found that a fruit farmer Taobao shop marked the wrong price, and led fans to buy "bonus hunter" at the price of 4,500 Jin navel oranges per 26 yuan, which led to the store being forced to close for a time.

  The "wool party" swarmed.

  The shopkeeper begged for an escape.

  Being "bonus hunter" is the fruit-selling Taobao shop "Guo Xiaoyun Flagship Store". According to the statement on the front page of the store, the details of the title were set wrong because of the wrong operation of the store. According to related pictures, the store set the price of navel orange from the original 4,500g in 26 yuan to 4,500kg in 26 yuan.

  Subsequently, some netizens pointed out that "well-known UP owner" and "Passerby A-" with more than 580,000 fans in bilibili discovered this situation, spread this information to their fans, led them to place orders, and complained to the merchants on the grounds that they could not deliver the goods or delayed delivery, hoping to get compensation after the complaint was established.

  The merchant said in a statement that the store was photographed with more than 200,000 orders in one night, involving 7 million yuan. I hope the buyer can apply for a refund of the order, and don’t complain, "Let me live."

  Yesterday, the reporter found that the shop was forced to close.

  The reporter contacted Mr. Qin, the owner of Guo Xiaoyun flagship store. He said that it was the first time that he had taken over the online store for less than a month. "There are 230,000 orders taken in one day, involving more than 7 million yuan. Some netizens even took goods with a total price of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan." Mr. Qin revealed that through the help of the platform, buyers who have not yet refunded will be explained. "Now we are dealing with refunds every day, and there are still more than 10,000 orders without refunds." Mr. Qin also called on netizens to understand the difficulties of the store and try to apply for a refund.

  Taobao: the first time to "protect" online stores

  The customer service staff of Tmall platform told the reporter that according to the rules of Tmall platform, merchants need to pay a deposit of 50,000 or 100,000 to open a store on this platform. After that, in the sales process, for each successful buyer complaint, the merchant needs to pay 30% of the buyer’s order amount, and the amount is deducted from the deposit. In addition, each complaint will be deducted by the platform by 1 point, and 12 points will be deducted and fined 10,000 yuan. According to the background information, at present, the customer service can see that Guo Xiaoyun’s flagship store has received more than 100 complaints, all of which are due to delayed delivery, and the complaint status is "payment completed".

  At noon on the 7th, Taobao’s official Weibo issued a statement, saying that it had "protected" the store for the first time after discovering the abnormal situation. Taobao said that the life of Guo Xiaoyun’s flagship store owner’s family is pointing to this store, "but because of such a mistake, their lives have fallen into uncertainty." Taobao also said that it will minimize the losses of all parties as far as possible under the circumstances permitted by laws and rules, and at the same time resolutely resist the "wool party" that maliciously places orders.

  Upmaster: admit to encouraging fans and apologize.

  On the afternoon of the 7th, bilibili issued a statement, saying that the user "Passerby A-" in the station led fans to make profits by taking advantage of the price loophole of the merchants, which caused a bad social impact. His account in the station will be banned until he properly handles this incident.

  After the incident, "Passer-by A-" apologized on bilibili for publishing the news several times, and admitted that he had sent the news of "bonus hunter". On the 6th, its release dynamic said: "The cause of the incident was 4,500 Jin of fruit, which caused the seller’s shop to be forced to close. I sincerely apologize for this. This news was forwarded by me, including subsequent screenshots." In another dynamic of the day, he wrote that he hoped to contact the fruit farmer. "Because the store closure is my responsibility, I can bear the cost of reopening the store."

  At present, Tmall’s "Guo Xiaoyun flagship store" has been reopened, and the owner sent a message to express his gratitude to everyone. According to the article, after many days of negotiations with customers, many customers understand this and are willing to refund. Thank you very much for your understanding, the help of Tmall platform and the concern of netizens.

  Where is the boundary of "bonus hunter"

  Different from "professional counterfeiters", this way of focusing on business mistakes is commonly known as "pulling a note", and each "wool group" has a "head sheep" that specifically publishes business information.

  The "head sheep" are in charge of a large number of QQ groups and WeChat groups. Once they seize the opportunity, they will encourage group friends to place orders together. Its purpose is not to take advantage of petty gains, but to "crowd out" the merchants through a large number of orders. Once the merchants can’t deliver the goods, they will complain and get compensation.

  According to the relevant rules, the compensation money will be deducted from the deposit paid by the merchant to the platform. Once the deposit is deducted and the merchant has no money to renew it, the store will close down.

  Netizens broke the news that there are more than one similar experience. At a Metersbonwe store in Bang Wei, a down jacket in 49 yuan was photographed by more than 4,900 people because of the manager’s mistake. The manager wanted the buyer to refund and give him 10 yuan as compensation, but only more than 1,000 people refunded the money. A shop in Taobao costs more than 100 yuan to shoot 6 pairs of shoes. Later, more than 10,000 orders were taken by the "Wool Party". Most of the buyers did not refund and complained for compensation, which led to the removal of all goods and the closure of shops.

  In 2014, Amazon marked a "smart home sweeping robot" with a price of 949 yuan as 94 yuan, which resulted in 34,000 orders in less than 12 minutes. After that, Amazon took the product off the shelf, and deleted the relevant orders without authorization on the grounds of "marked the wrong price" and returned the payment that the buyer had paid.

  After that, 290 consumers filed a lawsuit against Amazon. After trial, the court finally ruled that Beijing Century Excellence, the operator of Amazon, should bear the adverse legal consequences, and compensate 290 consumers for the difference between the order amount and the market price of each machine of 855 yuan and the lawyer’s fee of 3,000 yuan. The reason for the court’s decision is that if the online shopping platform does not bear the liability for compensation, it will not be conducive to the regulation of false promotion and malicious unilateral chopping.

  The above-mentioned cases have caused the public to think about the boundary of "bonus hunter". Zhao Zhanling, deputy director of Beijing Zhilin Law Firm, said that it mainly depends on the specific way of "bonus hunter". If the merchants engage in promotional activities, the so-called "wool party" completely conforms to the rules, but there are loopholes in the rules formulated by the merchants, and the "wool party" itself is not illegal, then the contract is valid.

  "If the merchant has a loophole due to technical failure, wrong price setting, etc., and the wool party discovers the loophole, and then expands this loophole and spreads it to many people, then the merchant can request to terminate the contract according to major misunderstanding." Zhao Zhanling explained. However, some people use illegal means, such as stealing other people’s account numbers and identity information for "bonus hunter", which may involve crimes.

Redefining Gong Li, subverting spy war, and the "Grand Theatre" of Lou Ye, the god of forbidden movies, is it worth seeing?

"Lanxin Grand Theatre" was released, and the film was shortlisted for the 76th Venice main competition. Two years have passed in a blink of an eye and finally entered the cinema. This film is also one of Gong Li’s masterpieces in recent years. The Lanxin Grand Theatre is not only her main stage, but also the stage of the heroine Yu Yan. Not long ago, Beijing International Film Festival even appointed the Lanxin Grand Theatre as the closing film, which shows its weight in the hearts of fans.

There are spoilers in this article.

one

In 1937, Shanghai was occupied by Japan. The story took place in the French Concession. In this privileged and safe zone, there were mixed fish and dragons. In addition to prominent figures, there were also many spies from all corners of the country who secretly performed tasks.

"Lanxin Grand Theatre" began with "a scene". Drama director Tan Na wandered around the dance and then started a conversation with a woman about the factory strike. The woman was Fang Qiu Lan played by Yan, and then the conversation was interrupted by a man who wanted to take Fang Qiu Lan away by force.

This is obviously the plot on the stage. The real Yu Yan is chased by fanatical fans in Shanghai and surrounded by reporters everywhere she goes. The limousine took her to the luxury hotel in the French Concession, and she was received by the hotel manager Saul Xia Pier. These were carefully arranged, because Saul, like Yu Yan, was also serving the Allies.

But is this the only task of Yu Yan? No, after she returned to Shanghai, she had at least two tasks, except to meet with Hubert, a senior allied officer, and to find Ni Zeren, her ex-husband imprisoned by the Japanese army. In the past few years, Hubert has always been an elder in Yu Yan’s heart, and the way she respects him is to accept the dispatch and make a good chess piece.

Yu Yan not only returned to the stage, but also rekindled her old love with her ex-lover, Tan Na. Her eyes are full of love, and Tan Na enjoys the rekindled fire of love more than she does. He may know that he is the shield role selected by Yu Violet, but he is also willing. After all, he is trusted, and this feeling is not necessarily to take part in accidental amusement.

Mo Zhiyin, a close friend of Tan Na’s circle, is a cruel character. As an intelligence agent of Wang Puppet Government, he is always on the alert for any trouble around him. Although Yu Yan kept a low profile, she came into his sight, but Mo Zhi only knew some details about Yu Yan, thinking that she came back to save her ex-husband.

Suddenly, a young opera fan named Bai Yunshang appeared around Violet. Bai Yunshang is a clever girl, and she expressed her admiration for Violet more than once because she also wants to be an actress. Her enthusiasm successfully captured Yu Yan’s attention. Out of doubt or interest, Yu Yan decided to let her enter the theater and get close to idolize.

There are also two key characters, namely, an expert in code deciphering, Kotani Saburo, and Kurihara, who serves Japanese imperialism. They are the most dangerous enemies lurking around Violet and Hubert.

Kotanisaburo is always frowning and preoccupied. As a special expert, he is the rarest trump card of Japan and the breakthrough in Hubert’s eyes.

In order to obtain Japanese intelligence, Hubert launched the "Double Mirror Project". Only one person can perform this task, and that is Yu Yan. She looks very much like Kotanisaburo’s dead wife, which is the real reason why she returned to Shanghai.

Maybe she has long been tired of spy life, and repeated scenes divide her life and make her lose herself. So Yu Violet’s move to take the task is to repay the kindness, and she wants to regard this as her last role.

Kotanisaburo’s love for his dead wife is very touching. The pain caused by this love made him trance from the present fear. Unlike Yu Yan, who wanted to get out of it, this man had almost no fighting capacity and finally became the most helpless participant in this war.

Compared with Kotanisaburo, Yu Yan’s ex-husband Ni Zeren is slick and treacherous. He is a traitor who helps the Japanese to do business. After making a fortune, he staged a dog-eat-dog drama, but he was put together by the Japanese. Yu Yan tried to save him, but Ni Zeren didn’t have this life.

Finally, this night, in a heavy rain, someone set up a game and someone set up a close encounter of mahjong. Compared with Tan Na’s drama, this night is much more exciting. Yu Yan single-handedly broke through several checkpoints and saw the deaths of enemies, friends and innocent people who met by chance.

Her gun has the ability to liquidate everything, which means that Violet has the initiative to examine the present. In Gong Li’s eyes, you can see all kinds of complicated emotions. She has become the carrier of recording history and is also burdened with very heavy things.

But can the survivors find a way out? Where is their way out? In the end, Lou Ye took the narrative back to the opening scene with a trick-like clip, and completed the closed loop of the film.

three

When it comes to expounding the background of the times, the text is often an empty shell, but the multiple spaces that spread outward from the drama can help the audience grasp the real historical atmosphere. The most commendable thing about Lanxin Grand Theatre is the creative integration of drama and reality. Ma Yingli adapted the original work into a smoky place, leaving a lot of blank space for "space presentation".

In Lanxin Grand Theatre, drama is centered on performance, and history is naturally "performative". To reproduce history is to arrange a performance, and Lou Ye made this film just as Tan Na arranged his play. The only common point of these two narratives is Gong Li, who is the only "authentic" existence.

Having said that, I have to go back to Yu Yan, played by Gong Li. She is a female character that rarely appears in similar movies. Women are rarely responsible for the heavy responsibilities, but Lou Ye simply walked all the way to the end, without setting a clear character, morality or position for Yu Yan. However, when she collided with the roulette wheel of history with her own flesh and blood, the audience was immersed in the moment when she was completely out of control.

Many people in the film have two faces. Facing the arena like a meat grinder, they feel at ease by tearing themselves into pieces and feeding them to all forces, but when the game is over, they will not survive.

The film also reveals the situation of Shanghai literary and art workers at that time. For example, Tan Na, who took the money from the Chongqing military junta, shot a left-wing drama and kept his "artistic job", but in fact he lost his dignity.

If you enter the cinema, Lou Ye’s fans will definitely not advise you to sit in the front row, because he prefers to use a lot of shaking motion shots, and the pictures are often blurred and dizzy.

However, there is no denying that the audio-visual aesthetics of Lanxin Grand Theatre is branded by a clear author. This style belongs to both director Lou Ye and photographer Jian Zeng. He used rain and smoke to create a changeable atmosphere, which actually made a black-and-white film look polished and polished.

Similar to Lou Ye’s previous works, "Lanxin Grand Theatre" is bound to face a polarized evaluation, but any impression is reasonable. Don’t say whether you like the film or not. Even "Do you like Lou Ye" has a very polarized answer, but is it worth buying tickets for the audience to watch? The answer is yes, at least Lou Ye has been trying to break through himself, which is pure as a filmmaker. In the mainstream film market in China, there are obviously not many such people.

The picture in this article comes from the Internet.

Misappropriating nearly 10 million public funds to sell her daughter and falling out with her family, so rewarding the anchor map?

  CCTV News:Recently, the People’s Court of Jingkou District, Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province publicly heard a case. The defendant Wang was addicted to webcasting and stole 9.3 million yuan from the company, just to win the favor of the network female anchor.

  Before the incident, Wang served as the cashier accountant of Guoxin Jiayuan Real Estate Company. In 2015, after the chief accountant left, the company did not arrange another person, but let Wang serve as the chief accountant. He controlled all the financial power of the company by himself.

  Wang, a 29-year-old, is married, and a family of three lives in Danyang with his parents. His family conditions are average and his monthly salary is more than 3,000 yuan. Since he fell in love with webcasting, he found that the female anchors disdained themselves because of the lack of rewards. Wang felt that he was left out in the cold. In order to save face, he began to misappropriate public funds to reward him.

  Wang kept recharging to broadcast high-priced "gifts" to the hostess. On the most day, he recharged 500,000 yuan on the live broadcast platform, and several female anchors took the initiative to make friends with him. Wang kept his wife in the dark and used a business trip as an excuse to meet the female anchor in Shanghai every week and squander the stolen public funds.

    According to the police investigating the case, Wang basically stays in the best hotel in Shanghai. When it is more, it may cost hundreds of thousands a night, and when it is less, it will cost 20,000 to 30,000.

  It has been verified that Wang embezzled 9.3 million yuan of public funds from Guoxin Jiayuan Real Estate Company, including several hundred thousand yuan of cash in the company’s inventory; Nearly 8.6 million yuan was withdrawn and transferred from the company’s CCB card and ICBC card.

  After the trial, the court made a verdict in court. The defendant Wang was sentenced to 7 years in prison for the crime of duty embezzlement, and confiscated 200,000 yuan of property, and ordered the defendant Wang to return to the injured unit for 9.3 million yuan, but Wang was simply unable to make restitution.

  It is not a case that Wang embezzled public funds in order to reward the anchor.

  A 24-year-old company cashier in Hefei secretly transferred more than 5 million yuan from the company account in order to reward the male anchor on the live broadcast platform until it was discovered by the company. Evidence shows that in just three months, it spent more than 4 million on the live broadcast platform. In addition to rewarding the anchor, women also spend a lot. When she was arrested, the LV bag she bought online for 30,000 yuan was still in the mail.

  In recent years, with the rise and development of the webcast industry, there have been frequent incidents of rewarding anchors with huge sums of money. Many netizens send virtual gifts to their favorite anchors. This is true. The key is to be within their own economic scope. Some people do not hesitate to fall out with their families in order to "punch a swollen face and fill a fat man".

  Aunt Luo, who is over 60 years old, met the male anchor Ren Mou on the live broadcast platform. In just one year, she rewarded Ren Mou with cash and gifts totaling more than 300,000 yuan. When the relationship was good, she sent a watch with a price of more than 30,000 yuan as a birthday gift for Ren.

  When Aunt Luo’s daughters found out, they were so angry that they wanted to sever the mother-daughter relationship with her. In desperation, Aunt Luo found Ren and asked for the money to be rewarded. However, in the face of Aunt Luo’s request, Ren refused to return these rewards, saying that this was Aunt Luo’s voluntary behavior. He neither defrauded her nor threatened her. The police persuaded the two sides. Because of the dispute, they handed Aunt Luo and Ren to the local police station for further coordination.

  What is even more ridiculous is this post-90 s Yunnan man Zhao.

  In January 2017, Niu Niu, a 4-year-old girl, was taken away from her hometown in Yunnan by her father Zhao. In July, Niu Niu was taken to Guangde, Anhui by her father. Unexpectedly, the father sold her to Wang Moumou, a man from Ningguo, at a "transaction price" of 40,000 yuan.

  Zhao confessed that he earned more than 4,000 yuan a month before selling his daughter, but he couldn’t save money because he was obsessed with rewarding the anchor online. "After selling my daughter, I suddenly got so much money in my hand and rewarded the anchors. I am also a lot of car-scrapping."

  It was found through trial that after getting the money, Zhao had rewarded more than 30,000 yuan to more than a dozen male and female anchors. Among them, he bought virtual gifts for the anchors through a webcast platform, which was worth more than 10,000 yuan after conversion, and the amount of money transferred and sent to the anchors through WeChat was 20,600 yuan.

  "My daughter is over 4 years old and knows some things that adults say. During the negotiation, the child buried his head and patted my knee from time to time. I dare not think, what was in the child’s mind when I quoted him the price of my daughter? " After surrendering, Zhao shed tears when he confessed to the police. In the end, Zhao was sentenced to five years in prison for crime of trafficking in children.

  While the live broadcast industry is developing in full swing, the "reward" of minors is often exposed.

  Ms. Hu from Xuchang, Henan said that her 10-year-old son used her mobile phone to reward 50,000 yuan to the game anchor. Ms. Hu said that her husband died of pancreatic cancer, and this money was the money for her husband’s cremation. And I have rectal cancer, and now I need this life-saving money urgently, hoping to recover it.

  Mr. Peng and his wife in Guangdong saved 160,000 yuan in 10 years by sewing jeans. Their 14-year-old son, Xiao Peng, joined a QQ group of online game players during the summer vacation, and was dragged by group friends to watch the female anchor play games. In just two months, he spent all his parents’ savings accumulated in 10 years.

  There are countless similar examples. Xiaoxin, a 9-year-old girl from Dalian, Liaoning Province, rewarded the anchor with more than 50,000 yuan on the Huya live broadcast platform. Her mother appealed to the platform for a refund, but since it was impossible to prove that it was indeed a child’s operation, there was still no result. A 13-year-old girl in Shanghai secretly rewarded her favorite network anchor with her mother’s mobile phone, and spent her parents’ savings of 250 thousand yuan in two months; After 00, while studying in Canada, Xiaoya, a girl, spent 650,000 yuan … …

  For minors, learning should be the primary task, rather than indulging in the network. What’s more, we should not be distorted by the wrong consumption concept and brush the hard-earned money of our parents.

  As a new way of social networking, webcasting attracts a large number of users with its high effectiveness and strong interactivity. But no matter who the user is, we should watch the live broadcast rationally. Don’t blindly impulse consumption in order to pursue the so-called face and vanity on the Internet. Don’t spend more than you can afford because you are obsessed with network anchors, or even embark on the road of crime.
