Rene Liu (left) as Chen? Assistant debut, mentoring strong feelings.

Chen Guofu is currently the artistic director of Huayi Brothers Film Industry in the Mainland.

　　Ambiguous love

　　A few days ago, the reporter witnessed milk tea leaving Mucha’s residence alone. She wore a striped blouse and trousers to dress up casually, and went out with black-rimmed glasses. After staying in a building on Zhongxiao East Road in Taipei for nearly 2 hours, she took a taxi to the East District to pick up the "Glasses Man" and got on the bus. Two people went to a Japanese restaurant in Dunhua South Road Lane for dinner. Two hours later, they went out for a walk together. The reporter found that "Glasses Man" was the director Chen Guofu who had been having an affair with milk tea for more than 10 years. Later, the milk tea stopped the taxi, and two people went directly back to the milk tea residence. The boy got off the station at the roadside, and the milk tea paid the fare. Until 1 am, the reporter did not see Chen Guofu leave.

　　Liu said that he visited the studio.

　　On June 1 ST, milk tea took part in the "512 Caring Action in Performing Arts" in Hong Kong on her birthday, and the reporter finally got in touch with her. When Chen Guofu came into her house late at night, she generously said, "I rarely met the director after the performance of" Double Eyes ".I invited him out for dinner that day. He heard that I had spent a lot of time on the music studio, so I came to see it, not my home."

　　Enlightenment instructors have a close friendship.

　　As for not seeing the director leave late at night, she said that the director took a taxi later. Is there any progress for two people at present? She bluntly didn’t want to respond to this question, but stressed: "He was my first film director, and he won several awards, such as Asia-Pacific Best Actress and Academy Award Supporting Actress. He was an enlightenment mentor, with Zhang Jie,? Brother (Chen? ) The same is a good friend! "

　　She hasn’t had a birthday for many years, and she said happily that the benefit performance in Hong Kong on June 1st was the most meaningful birthday, but there were about eight artists backstage asking her to pay attention to her weight, so it was time to lose weight.

　　Four years ago, it was reported that Chen Guofu suffered from a liver tumor, and he was too ill to finish filming the film Happy Brothers. At that time, Milk Tea said that he would find time to visit him, but two years ago, someone asked Chen Guofu about her health, and she said that she had "little contact with Chen Guofu". It is reported that Chen Guofu lived alone in Beijing in recent years and only returned to Taiwan for one day at the end of May, but he happened to be witnessed by reporters having dinner with milk tea and staying at home for most of the day.

　　Chen pointed out that many people went to her house.

　　Chen Guofu is currently the artistic director of Huayi Brothers Film Industry in the Mainland. He responded yesterday: "It’s no secret that I have dinner with her. See how you handle it, hehe." The reporter asked, "But then you went into her house …?" He replied, "There are more people going to her house." And said: "I live in Beijing now, and it is quite difficult for everyone to meet. It is normal to meet and have a meal." However, he also said that he is in good health and work now. Thank you for your concern.

Extreme Yue and Extreme Krypton are owned by Geely, and their models are also produced in Geely’s vast SEA architecture. In this case, for many people, it is inevitable that the models of the two brands are positioned similarly. For example, the second model of Extreme Yue recently listed, some people think it is the version of Extreme Krypton 007.

Actually, it’s not! Extreme Yue 07 is different from Extreme Krypton 007 in terms of product positioning and product configuration. So, today, I’ll also give you an interpretation of the extreme yue 07 to see if it’s worth buying. Which configuration version should I choose to buy?

As for this car, I think it has some advantages compared with the more and more homogeneous new energy vehicles, such as "no one has me, no one has me". Among them, one of the great advantages is that it comes from Geely’s vast SEA architecture, so that the stability and drivability of the vehicle can be guaranteed. After all, we know that the vast architecture of SEA is the star architecture of the current new energy vehicle market, and the models built based on this architecture are strong enough to compete in the market. This is true except for Extreme Yue 07, Like Krypton 001, 007, etc.

Another big advantage is the advantage in intelligence. The title of "automobile robot" of Yuejie is not for nothing. Like the 07, Yuejie has a 35.6-inch super-large integrated screen, and the brand-new end-to-end perception model has been upgraded in terms of detection ability, tracking ability, mapping ability and scene understanding ability, and the voice assistant SIMO has also been upgraded, as well as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P chip equipped in the whole system, all of which prove its intelligent interaction level to us.

There is also its intelligent driver assistance system, which has also been optimized, adding the curve AEB function, which can stop steadily even if the front car disappears. Extreme Yue 07 is also equipped with ASD Apollo advanced intelligent driving system. It is said that it will be able to drive all over the country before the end of this year, and it is still purely visual perception. This kind of intelligent driving ability is indeed leading enough.

In terms of batteries, all the high-end versions of Extreme Yue 07 use Kirin batteries from Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited. The battery pack has bullet-proof coated armor from Chinese Academy of Sciences at the bottom, which can withstand 3.5 tons of static pressure. This battery has obvious advantages in safety and fast charging performance. For some users who are worried about battery problems, they can obviously put their hearts in their stomachs.

Having said that, which configuration version of Extreme Yue 07 is worth buying? Personally, I recommend the standard version or long battery life version of Extreme Yue 07. After all, the limited-time preferential price of the two models is 199,900 yuan, and the latter is 219,900 yuan, both of which are within the price range of about 200,000 yuan, and the standard configuration like Extreme Yue 07 is completely enough for our users. Of course, if you are really not short of money and want to experience more extreme speed and passion, the performance version of nearly 300,000 yuan is also a good choice.

Generally speaking, the product strength of Extreme Yue 07 is worthy of recognition. Although the brand voice is not high in the market at present, it is blessed by Geely and Baidu. I believe that it will get better and better in the future market, and Extreme Yue 07 will also be favored by many consumers.

The plug-in hybrid market is very hot, which is a recent feature of the domestic market. Because the overall share has improved significantly, there are more and more car companies making efforts in this market, which directly leads to the market becoming more and more "rolled". From the consumer’s point of view, if you are a friend with only one car at home, Kitten suggests starting with hybrid and plug-in hybrid models. If you are mainly traveling in cities for short distances and occasionally running at high speed, extended-range electric is also a good choice. Judging from the current market situation, the popularity of domestic extended-range electric vehicles is not low. Ideal L7, Wenjie M7, etc. are all products of this type.

In the 380th batch of Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Chery’s Xingtu brand declared an extended-range electric vehicle, Xingtu ET extended-range version. Prior to this, its pure electric version has been declared, which means that Starway ET will provide two different power models in the future.

According to the group’s plan, Chery will fully launch the new energy market in 2024. Before that, Xingtu brand has launched pure electric and plug-in hybrid models. Although from the technical difficulty and performance, extended-range electric is not as good as plug-in hybrid, but its advantages are simple structure and low cost. Under the condition of fixed cost, the money saved from the power system can be used for interior configuration, which is valued by many new energy vehicle consumers.

From the body size, the extended range version of Star Way ET is close to the level of medium and large SUV, with the length, width and height of 4955mm, 1975mm and 1698mm respectively and the wheelbase of 3000mm；; Compared with the main competitors’ ideal L7 of 5050mm, 1995mm, 1750mm and 3005mm, although slightly inferior, the gap is not very big. In terms of seat layout, it also adopts a five-seat design, and the performance of the rear space can be satisfactory.

As for the power system, the extended range version of Star Era ET uses SQRH4J15B 1.5T four-cylinder engine as the range extender, with the maximum power of 115kw. The data of the motor has not been published yet, but according to the configuration of Star Era ET pure electric version, it should provide two models: single motor and double motor. The power battery is lithium iron phosphate battery, and the manufacturer is Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited. In terms of configuration, although there is not much news released at present, in terms of product positioning, it should not be lower than Xingyue ES.

In terms of price, the extended edition of Star Era ET can use Star Era ES as a pricing reference. Star Era ET is a medium and large SUV, and its price is higher than that of Star Era ES, which is positioned by medium and large cars. The starting price of the latter pure electric version is 198,800 yuan, and Star Era ET may be higher than it. At the same time, the price of the extended-range version will be lower than that of the pure electric version because of its small battery capacity. Therefore, based on various factors, the kitten expects the starting price of the extended-range version of Star Era ET to be 209,800 yuan, but its configuration level will be higher than that of Star Era ES.

Cat heart blue view

In terms of sales performance, although Chery has launched a number of plug-in hybrid models before, their sales performance is average, especially for Star Road brand models. According to the terminal sales data, the total sales volume of the Star Road Chasing Wind Plug-in Hybrid Model in 2023 was only 1,214 vehicles, which was not even as good as the weekly sales volume of many hot-selling cars. Faced with the sales dilemma, Chery’s new energy vehicles are also adjusting their prices, trying to impress consumers with low prices.

Looking forward to the future sales trend of Xingtu ET Extended Range Edition, its main competitors are naturally Ideal L7 and Wenjie M7. The former has a higher price threshold of 319,800 yuan, and the latter also costs 249,800 yuan. Compared with these two models, the core advantage of Xingtu ET Extended Range Edition is that the price threshold is lower, and Chery has accumulated a certain reputation in the market. In the early days of 200,000 yuan, you can buy a big five-seat extended-range electric SUV produced by Chery, which is actually attractive.

　　

　　　　　On February 14th, Russian President Vladimir Putin held his last annual press conference in the Kremlin. Xinhua News Agency reporter Shen Bohan photo

　　　　The last annual large-scale press conference of Russian President Vladimir Putin was held in the Kremlin yesterday. More than 1300 journalists attended the reception, including about 200 foreign journalists. In nearly five hours, Putin answered 106 questions raised by 80 journalists, involving successors, domestic economy, relations with the West, Kosovo issue, and the US anti-missile system. Since yesterday coincided with Valentine’s Day, a female reporter from Russian Chanson Radio asked Putin at the meeting whether someone had given him a Valentine’s Day gift.

　　　　Putin replied: "No one has had time to give me a Valentine’s Day gift yet, because I have been preparing for the press conference since morning exercise this morning, and I came to this hall before talking to anyone. Of course, my wife has congratulated me on Valentine’s Day, but’ not willing’ to send me a Valentine’s Day gift. " The female reporter frankly wanted to give Putin a Valentine’s Day gift and asked what to do. Putin replied, "Please come here." A reporter from Kostroma asked Putin how his wife reacted when she learned that he would become the prime minister of the government. Putin replied: "She is not happy about it." A female reporter said that a few years ago, Putin’s wife, lyudmila, cried after learning that her husband would become president, because she thought Putin would have no time to enjoy family life.

　　Power | Support Medvedev

　　　　When answering a question about the third term of office, Putin said: "I have never had the desire to stay in the third term." He said, "Some people are addicted to cigarettes, some people are addicted to banned drugs, and some people are addicted to money. They say that the worst thing is power addiction. I have never been addicted to anything. " Putin believes that if you are lucky enough to work for the people in the position of national leader, it is a kind of luck in itself. He added that from the first day he took office, he decided that he would not violate the Constitution. Putin said: "I think I have received two gifts from the Russian people and served as two Russian presidents. But I can still work for our people in another position. " Putin stressed that if Medvedev is elected president and he becomes prime minister, there will be no problem in the division of authority between the president and the prime minister. He said that as long as we look at the Russian Constitution, we can see the scope of the functions and powers of the Prime Minister, who is only responsible for the country’s fiscal policy and economic development. He said that there would be no problem in his relationship with Medvedev, whether at work or in private. Putin also pointed out that Medvedev, as a deputy prime minister in charge of social issues, was familiar with government work. Medvedev’s upcoming speech in Krasnoyarsk can be regarded as a supplement to the Russian social and economic development plan for 2020.

　　　　In response to a reporter’s question "Why do you support Medvedev as president?" Putin said: "I believe that he will be a good president, a veritable and efficient leader." Putin said: "I believe in him and trust him. As I said at the United Russia Party Congress, you can proudly and confidently hand over the state management to such people. " Putin also said that he was not prepared to lead the United Russia Party after the expiration of his presidency. He believes that the Russian government’s decision-making is not based on the wishes of a person or a party, but on objective analysis and argumentation. Putin said that Russia’s future ruling foundation should be the general public, not a certain party.

　　　　Political achievements | Regret inflation Putin compared his eight-year tenure to a long time, but he admitted that nothing made him angry during his term of office. He said: "I can’t say that one thing in my work schedule makes me tired: sports, work and some entertainment activities are very tight." I like listening to pop music and classical music. Basically, my eight years of life is like a long trip, which is actually out of my normal personal life track. But if I have to say anything particularly angry during my tenure, I really can’t say it. " Summing up his eight-year presidency, he said: "I didn’t see any major failure. All the scheduled goals have been achieved and all the tasks have been completed. "

　　　　He admitted: "Maybe, some aspects can be done better." He cited, for example, the issue of inflation. He also said: "If we had taken more rapid and targeted actions at that time and used all our strength in this regard, not only mobilizing the economic field, but also mobilizing non-governmental organizations and political groups, then the inflation rate might have been lower." Putin pointed out that one of the main tasks of the government in 2008 and the next few years is to fight inflation. He said: "The problem is also well known. One of the main problems is that we failed to control the growth of inflation, which exceeded the expected 8.5% and reached 11.9%."

　　　　Wealth | Denying that he is rich Putin also said that the western media reports that he has huge wealth are nonsense. In response to a question from a western media reporter about the source of his property, he said: "As for all kinds of rumors about my own property, I have read several relevant reports. This is just nonsense, there is nothing to discuss, it is completely nonsense. " Putin also said that the most important wealth he has is the trust of Russians. "I like to experience life. I am rich because the Russian people have trusted me twice to lead this great country. I think this is my greatest wealth. "

The Siberian tiger, known as the "king of the jungle", is a world-class endangered species, which was once widely distributed in the northeast of China. At the beginning of the 20th century, only Xiaoxing ‘anling and Changbai Mountain were distributed in a very small amount. During the scientific investigation in 1980s, the Northeast Tiger was once declared extinct in Xiaoxing ‘anling area. In recent years, with the continuous promotion of ecological protection and restoration, Xiaoxing ‘anling has reappeared the scene of "roaring mountains and forests".

Taipinggou Nature Reserve in Heilongjiang Province is a region where many large and medium-sized wild animals, including brown bears and black bears, are concentrated. In recent years, many Siberian tigers have crossed the river from Russia across a river into Taipinggou, which makes the food chain in the reserve more complicated.

In this area where many kinds of top carnivores are concentrated, with the arrival of the Northeast Tiger, the king of the jungle, the original food chain in the forest area has also undergone natural succession adjustment. With the deepening of the investigation of animal population in the ditch by researchers, many rare phenomena have also been photographed.

Scientific experiments realize individual identification of black bears for the first time.

In the picture, a simple and honest black bear is standing upright like a human being, chasing the food hanging on the rope with his mouth. In this process, the white patterns on their chests are clearly exposed to the infrared camera lens. This is an experiment of individual identification of black bears conducted by researchers. It is understood that the white pattern on the chest of black bears is the only reference to distinguish individuals because of the lack of patterns that are convenient for individual identification. In order to induce them to show the patterns on their chests, the researchers designed the above experimental scheme. This extremely cooperative bear is therefore deeply loved by researchers. However, not long after, this lovely bear was hunted and eaten by the Northeast Tiger.

Zhang Yingxiang, Heilongjiang Taipinggou National Nature Reserve Administration: That bear is actually a pity, because when we were doing a special investigation on black bears and brown bears, there was such a bear in this position that it was very smart, so our experts called it the smartest bear in the world. It is when we give it an experiment, it can climb the tree and follow our rope, just like people command, it is very smart to catch the food. But the laws of nature can’t escape, the law of the jungle.

Tracking the event of tiger eating bear

While regretting the bear, the incident that the tiger ate the bear also attracted the attention of experts. It is understood that the black bear is a beast of nature and rarely encounters natural enemies. Prior to this, there was no video record of black bears being hunted by other animals in China.

Liu Fang, Associate Research Fellow of China Academy of Forestry: Judging from the situation in our country, there is no conclusive evidence that tigers eat black bears in other areas, which is the first time in China.

Professor Peking University Lv Zhi, who has been studying animals for many years, also said it was the first time he heard of it.

Professor Lv Zhi of Peking University Academy of Life Sciences: I really haven’t heard that tigers eat live bears. This is the first time I’ve heard of it.

The reporter made a further investigation into the incident of tigers eating bears. Liu Yanlin is a witness of this process. On the day of the incident, when they were conducting a special study on cats in the woodland, they found the footprints of tigers on the ground and followed them all the way, hoping to make new discoveries.

Liu Yanlin, Heilongjiang Taipinggou National Protected Area Administration: We rushed there, and the bear’s abdomen and the front of its neck were eaten by tigers, and the meat was still steaming.

Zhang Yingxiang and Su Quanyong, colleagues, talked about the scene at that time and still felt scared.

Zhang Yingxiang, Heilongjiang Taipinggou National Nature Reserve Administration: The next day, as usual, when we continued to follow the tiger’s footprints along that road, we found that there were traces of tigers stepping on our footprints down the mountain on the road we walked yesterday. At that time, we felt terrible. Fortunately, there were many people going up the mountain at that time, so it is hard to say whether the Northeast Tiger will attack when there are few people.

Su Quanyong, Heilongjiang Taipinggou National Nature Reserve Administration: The tiger’s lying track was also found on the top of the mountain. I followed the trail of the tiger dragging the bear down and went up to see their fighting scene. After walking some distance, I found a bear barn.

The reporter also repeatedly questioned and verified the evidence beyond the description of the witnesses.

Reporter: The bear’s body, how did you confirm that it was eaten by a tiger?

Liu Yanlin, Heilongjiang Taipinggou National Protected Area Administration: Because there are also fighting scenes and footprints, there are no fewer than three lying tracks beside the tiger’s footprints, and it should rest nearby after eating.

As the saying goes, the tigers roar in the mountains and the beasts are frightened. At present, tigers eat bears, which is only a case. However, with many Siberian tigers entering Taipinggou and even Xiaoxing ‘anling, what changes will happen to the animal community in the jungle need further monitoring and research. What is visible to the naked eye is that the frequency of bears has indeed dropped significantly.

Chen Zhigang, Director of Heilongjiang Taipinggou National Nature Reserve Administration: It is said that the number of bears has really changed a lot since the arrival of the Northeast Tiger. Even before the Northeast Tiger came, swarms of black bears and brown bears could always be found through infrared camera monitoring. After the first Siberian tiger came to our nature reserve, it was found that the number of brown bears and black bears was gradually decreasing in recent years. This may also reflect that among top predators, bears still have a fear of tigers, or have a certain impact on the distribution of bears.

Animal experts believe that the bear population in Taipinggou forest area has been increasing in recent years. If natural enemies can be welcomed and their numbers are properly adjusted, the forest ecosystem will adjust itself to a new equilibrium state.

Liu Fang, Associate Research Fellow of China Academy of Forestry: It can be predicted in the future that the more tigers there are, the more they will prey on black bears, which is a regulating effect on the population of black bears.

Homologous distribution of many carnivores in Taipinggou Nature Reserve.

In Taipinggou Nature Reserve of Heilongjiang Province, there are many kinds of top carnivores in the same domain and concentrated distribution. What is the jungle world that can carry so many carnivores?

The location on the picture is located in Taipinggou Nature Reserve, Heilongjiang Province. Boris, the Siberian tiger, is a Siberian tiger who migrated from Russia on the other side of Heilongjiang Province.

After entering Taipinggou, he quickly occupied a woodland. A day later, his son Thunder also waded from the other side and entered the same woodland with him. Xiang’ an started their respective cruises after "taking the mountain as the king" to declare sovereignty. Although the relationship between the two tigers is "father and son", "two tigers in one mountain" is still a phenomenon beyond the normal nature.

In fact, in Taipinggou Nature Reserve with a total area of only 220 square kilometers, a number of Siberian tigers, two or even more, have been identified, and it is normal to exist in this valley less than 50 kilometers at the same time. Compared with scientific data, the average territory area of a tiger is about 400 square kilometers, and Taipinggou obviously has extraordinary ecological carrying capacity.

Liu Fang, Associate Research Fellow of China Academy of Forestry: If there are many tigers in an area, it means that the ecological environment of this place is very good, which can not only provide it with sufficient hidden conditions and water sources, but also provide a very rich food source, indicating that this is a very healthy and stable ecosystem.

It is remarkable that there are not only many tigers in Taipinggou, but also other top carnivores have a stable population in Taipinggou. In another picture, three animals with strange shapes, like cats, cats and leopards, appear in the Taipinggou woodland in the same frame, enjoying the warm autumn sun leisurely. They are the second-class protected animals in China, and the wild animals in nature, the lynx, are used to living alone, and the picture of three going out together can be said to be very rare. At the same time, compared with another carnivore, wolves, which is often used to compare with their predation ability, their attack power is indistinguishable, showing the same domain distribution phenomenon.

Among a large number of carnivores, besides tigers, lynxes and wolves, there are two carnivores in Taipinggou, commonly known as beasts. They are brown bears and black bears, which are distributed in Taipinggou forest area in large numbers and overlapping.

Chen Zhigang, Director of Heilongjiang Taipinggou National Protected Area Administration: During the investigation of black bears and brown bears in the first few years, we found that there were many black bears and brown bears in our nature reserve, about 30 to 40.

It is understood that the distribution of two kinds of bears in the same domain is not only rare in China, but also the range of species overlap is very limited. This is another evidence of the superior ecological function of Taipinggou.

Liu Fang, Associate Research Fellow of China Academy of Forestry: According to the investigation results of our infrared camera, there are black bears and brown bears in every area of Taipinggou Nature Reserve, so their two species overlap in space, but according to the time information recorded by infrared camera, they are separated in time. Therefore, the spatial niches overlap, but the temporal niches are separated, and the abundant food is the reason why these two species can coexist in this area.

In addition to top predators, top raptors are also resident in Taipinggou. The golden eagle, a top predator known as the "king of birds", has lost its mystery in Taipinggou and become a clear image in an infrared camera. Interestingly, they have been photographed many times, "picking up" the leftover food of the Northeast Tiger.

In the picture, a domestic dog unfortunately became the prey of the Northeast Tiger. After being eaten by the Northeast Tiger, the staff set up an infrared camera next to the wreckage, expecting to photograph the picture of the Northeast Tiger returning to eat. Unexpectedly, the Northeast Tiger did not photograph it, but a golden eagle unexpectedly "appeared".

Zhang Yingxiang, Monitor of Heilongjiang Taipinggou National Protected Area Administration: When we went to get this camera, we found that the tiger didn’t come back and the dog was eaten by the golden eagle. At the same time, I took about 70 or 80 pictures of golden eagles eating dogs, and the pictures I took were very clear and the picture quality was very good. The golden eagle is also a national first-class protected animal. At the same time, a dog can be eaten by the golden eagle after being eaten by a tiger. This phenomenon is rarely recorded.

Taipinggou forest ecosystem is superior, which is one of the most complete areas in the food chain.

So, what’s magical about this jungle in Taipinggou, which can inhabit and support so many carnivores? It is understood that the forest coverage rate in Taipinggou is over 95%, including a large number of nut trees. It is autumn, which is the ripening season of Quercus mongolica fruits. Their fruits are rich in protein and fat, and they are high-quality food for wild animals.

Liu Fang, Associate Research Fellow of China Academy of Forestry: In Taipinggou Nature Reserve, it is very common that Mongolian oak forests grow particularly well like this, or mixed forests of Mongolian oak and red forest. They also provide a large amount of food for wild animals, so they can support a series of wild animals, including ungulates and bears. Like brown bears and black bears, the number of acorns it ingests in autumn basically determines its hibernation state and its reproduction rate.

Zebra consumes Ren Jianxin

At a time when all industries are seriously involved, no one can win.

On the evening of April 25th, Liangpin Shop, a leisure snack head enterprise, disclosed its annual report for 2023: it realized an operating income of 8.046 billion yuan and a net profit of 180 million yuan. In the case of periodic pressure, the basic disk is generally stabilized.

The first quarterly report of 2024 disclosed on the same day shows that the company’s operating income has returned to the growth track, with a year-on-year increase of 2.79% to 2.451 billion yuan. Because the terminal took the initiative to make profits, the company’s net profit returned to the mother decreased by 57.98% year-on-year to 62.4828 million yuan.

In the last two years, discount snacks have expanded wildly, and the terminal price war has been rolling; Online traffic transfer, a trick can no longer eat all over the sky; Coupled with the return of rational consumption concept. All this makes casual snack players have to re-examine themselves.

Good shops are not hiding anything. Dare to face up to their own problems and have made targeted adjustments one after another. The company does not fight a single-dimensional price war, and insists on actively participating in industry competition through innovation and differentiation, so that the business can return to valuable growth.

Don’t underestimate the difficulties, and don’t underestimate the resilience of this 18-year-old leisure snack leading enterprise.

Tear off the bandage to heal.

The trillion-dollar leisure snack market was not made in one day. Participants in the market should not only be KA, but also brand operators such as good shops and three squirrels, and discount snacks are not destined to be the end of the model.

The continuous innovation of models and channels can stimulate the innovation vitality of the whole industry and jointly expand the market, so that users can finally benefit.

As a leading enterprise in the industry, Liangpin Shop (603719.SH) admits that it is going through a relatively "painful" period. If it is only an explanation for investors, it can be attributed to the impact of discount snacks.

However, looking at the essence through the appearance, the good shop deeply realized that the root cause of the current pressure on the company’s performance is that the brand does not provide users with enough sense of value. Only by facing up to our own problems can we find targeted solutions.

Engaged in the leisure and snack industry for 18 years, the good shop knows that blindly rolling prices and fighting price wars will only affect the benign development of the whole industry.

The competition between enterprises is essentially the competition of supply chain. Only by improving the quality and efficiency of the supply chain can we really provide users with products with high quality and price ratio.

Different from the simple purchasing relationship between discount snacks and suppliers, Liangpin Shop, as a brand, dominates the whole industrial chain and controls the whole process of products from raw material planting and purchasing, product research and development to production and sales.

Therefore, discount snacks and good shops are completely different price logic, and the method of "squeezing water" from the supply chain is also completely different. For good shops, "squeezing water" is by no means an extreme squeeze on suppliers, but through lean management in cost control, production efficiency and commercial efficiency. It can make every supplier in the industrial chain become a participant, contributor and beneficiary of reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

Based on this, in November 2023, Liangpin Store launched the largest price adjustment since its establishment 17 years ago, with an average price reduction of 22% for more than 300 products, with the highest drop of 45%.

How can we reduce the price without degrading the quality?

Taking nuts as an example, in the past, good shops purchased products with specified specifications, and the high grade led to high procurement cost of raw materials. The company made adjustments to this. On the one hand, it incorporated the purchase of bulk nut raw materials into the supplier’s direct mining system, and at the same time changed the acquisition strategy. After the market unified mining, the raw materials were classified.

For example, Hawaiian fruit, the company has built a raw material base and used domestic Hawaiian fruit instead of imported raw materials. At the same time, raw materials with different specifications are used to produce different products such as canned, bagged and comprehensive nuts. By maximizing the use of raw materials, the price of each type of products has dropped by 5 to 10 yuan.

Light sweet dried mango is a very popular product in Liangpin Store. In the past, the company purchased mangoes from abroad and processed them at home, and it was inevitable that there would be a lot of losses when fresh fruits crossed the ocean. In 2023, the company supported suppliers to build factories overseas, and the raw materials were purchased and processed locally, thus reducing the total cost. As a result, the company’s 112g light sweet dried mango dropped from 16.9 yuan to 39.7 yuan/kg in 8.9 yuan, far lower than similar products of well-known Shangchao.

With the continuous deepening of the reform and innovation of the supply chain of each product line and the overall improvement of operating efficiency, the terminal price of products will definitely make users have a more obvious perception.

Gather advantages and seek growth

In the leisure snack industry, Liangpin Shop is the most balanced brand in online and offline development, which is also the biggest difference and advantage between it and competing products in the channel.

In 2023, there were 537 new stores in the four core provinces, and the total number of offline stores at the end of the period reached 3,293, a net increase of 67 over the same period of last year. In the whole year, the revenue from offline channels reached 4.294 billion yuan, up 4.02% year-on-year.

At the 2024 annual meeting of Liangpin Shop, Yang Yinfen, chairman and general manager of the company, particularly emphasized that the store is the most important channel for Liangpin Shop and the main position for brand promotion.

In the future, the improvement of store management and efficiency, updating and model optimization will still be the top priority of good shops. Yang Yinfen emphasized that all channels of the company should be based on the products and prices of stores, and all channels should be close to the products and prices of stores, and resolutely prevent involution from occurring internally.

Many users who often visit good shops have seen obvious changes. With the introduction of new models and new products, the store is younger and has a fireworks atmosphere. For stores in specific scenes, good shops introduce high-frequency consumer goods such as coffee and short-term insurance; Seasonal introduction of innovative sketches such as frozen products, sausages and baked sweet potatoes effectively increased the customer unit price and sales in the quarter.

For the operation of online traffic, good shops get rid of the single money-burning purchase of their peers, and rely on the advantages of their own offline stores to build diversified and unique models such as "city matrix live broadcast", "talent with goods" and "official number live broadcast".

Take a different road

No industry can only have low-end and low price, which can only bring "morbid", and ultimately the users will be damaged. Snacks are closely related to people’s daily life and health, especially so.

Nowadays, users’ consumption behavior is more and more rational, and the requirements for snack products are more demanding, which should be "delicious", "healthy" (light burden), "cost performance" and "emotional value". Only brands and products that can fully meet the needs of users will have long-term survival value.

As a brand owner and industrial chain owner, Liangpin Shop controls the whole chain of raw materials, product research and development, production, etc., and has the advantage of meeting the needs of users.

As early as the second half of 2023, good shops promoted product upgrading with "good raw materials, good formula and good taste" as the anchor point. From wild bamboo shoots with reduced salt and preservatives, non-fried 0 trans fatty acid crisp pancakes, 2.0 version of preserved plum with "nothing added", to toast with 0 preservatives and 60 days shelf life, these seemingly subtle changes all require long-term accumulation of brands to find the optimal solution in taste and health.

As one of the drafting units of General Requirements for Healthy Snacks, Liangpin Shop advocates the concept of "five reductions" (reducing salt, sugar, fat, oil and food additives), focusing on the two research and development directions of making products with pure natural and healthy ingredients and reducing additive products in the production process, so as to make the snack formula simpler and healthier with low burden.

Recently, Shanghai has been the first in China, taking the lead in trying out "nutrition selection" grading label in the beverage industry. ABCD is clearly printed on the packaging of drinks, and it is clear at a glance whether the products are healthy or not.

After the pilot project in Shanghai is completed and the experience is summed up, I believe this model will be further promoted to the whole country and eventually extended to the whole food industry. This is not only the consumer’s demand for a healthy diet, but also the general trend.

In the face of the general trend, enterprises can only take the lead if they plan ahead.

After 18 years of deep cultivation in the leisure snack industry, good shops have witnessed changes in the industry, experienced storms, and developed the physique of differentiated competition.

In 2019, it was tired of the endless price war in the industry. The company decisively jumped out of the Red Sea with low quality and low price competition, set off the banner of high-quality snacks, and embarked on a wave of independent market.

Nowadays, although it is under pressure periodically, the company always insists on high-end unshakable. Return to the initial intention of "the quality of conscience, everyone’s shop", and win users with "quality-price ratio" through the improvement of its own efficiency. Finally, walk out of the good shop’s own path.

In 2002, Sun Honglei, who had achieved great success, came home after a busy day and saw his 43-year-old girlfriend, Ding Jiali, cooking unkemptly. He suddenly became disgusted. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He threw his clothes at her and said, "I don’t think we are suitable. Let’s break up." On hearing that we were going to break up, Ding Jiali was puzzled: "Why? Aren’t we doing well now? Sun Honglei: "Do you think we are still a good match now?" It is said that behind every successful man, there is a woman who silently supports him, and Sun Honglei is no exception, and there are two women behind him, one is his mother, and the other is the actress Ding Jiali. Sun Honglei was born in a poor family in the northeast. There were six or seven people in the family at that time. At the end of each month, her mother would borrow money from her neighbors to live. And Sun Honglei also works very hard. He knows that his mother is hardworking, and she has to pick up rags to support her family when she comes back from work every day. So Sun Honglei followed her mother to collect junk and sell it after school. Sun Honglei liked break dancing since he was a child, and when he was eighteen, he also took part in a break dancing competition. His wonderful dance surprised the judges and won the first prize.

In this way, with his own efforts, Sun Honglei was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama. In the two years of Chinese opera, Sun Honglei was the most diligent student in the eyes of teachers and students. He was obsessed with acting, so he was called "crazy about drama". But after graduation, Sun Honglei, like most people, only played a supporting role at first, and then there was no improvement for a long time until she met a woman, Ding Jiali. At that time, Sun Honglei and Ding Jiali became attached to each other for their role in the drama Madame Curie, while Sun Honglei was a newcomer, both of whom were from the Northeast, and they hit it off at first sight. At that time, Ding Jiali was already very famous in the entertainment industry, and he was also a first-class actor in the national drama, and won the Golden Rooster Award, the Huabiao Award and other major awards.

At that time, Sun Honglei was still a fledgling newcomer in the entertainment industry. On the other hand, Ding Jiali has been in the entertainment industry for many years, and her resources and fame are incomparable to those of Sun Honglei. But when he saw Ding Jiali, he fell in love at first sight, and even began to pursue it directly. In order to get Ding Jiali’s consent, he was caring and attentive every day, and he also publicly expressed his feelings in the crew. In the face of Sun Honglei’s pursuit, Ding Jiali hesitated. For one thing, she had been hurt twice emotionally, and she dared not open the door of her feelings easily again. Secondly, she knows that she is 11 years older than Sun Honglei. Besides, she broke up and gave birth to a son and a daughter. This kind of love will not be valued. But Sun Honglei didn’t care. Ding Jiali was ill in hospital, so he personally made soup for her and sent it to feed her. Over time, Ding Jiali was moved by this young man, and they began to live together. At that time, Ding Jiali saw Sun Honglei’s acting talent and began to cultivate it. In order to pave the way for Sun Honglei, she spared no effort. And there are rumors that at that time, Ding Jiali put down his dignity and knelt down, begging Zhao Baogang to take good care of his own people, just for her boyfriend to have more scenes. A year later, "Fog Like Rain Like Wind" was broadcasted, and Sun Honglei finally opened his career. After that, his career became more and more prosperous. In 2002, he starred in the movie "Zhou Yu’s Train", with Gong Li.

Many opponents. Since then, Sun Honglei’s fame has soared, and more and more plays have come to him, and his resources are getting better and better. His coffee table has also risen from an unknown little actor to a famous actor.

Unexpectedly, Sun Honglei became popular, but her heart changed with it. At that time, Sun Honglei and Gong Li, the famous film winner, had an affair while filming Zhou Yu’s Train. Even when a reporter asked him about Gong Li, he said: Gong Li is really a perfect woman. If she is single, I really want to chase her. Ding Jiali was very angry when she learned about it, but she didn’t want to make it clear, because she was afraid that Sun Honglei would leave her if she said it. Until one day, when Sun Honglei returned home after dinner, he immediately hated Ding Jiali without makeup, so how can he compare with the goddess Gong Li? When Ding Jiali was still holding him, he said with concern: Drink less and go into the house and lie down. Sun Honglei, who was more and more angry, said impatiently, "Let’s break up."

Ding Jiali asked Sun Honglei to give her a statement. The man was so rude that he didn’t even look at her. He just said, "Do you think we deserve each other?"

Ding Jiali silently shed sad tears when she thought of her own efforts, but what she got was a breakup. In this way, I agreed. After the breakup, Ding Jiali was devastated, so sad that she couldn’t take the show any more, and once suffered from depression. After the two broke up, they met in public. Sun Honglei walked straight over and pretended not to know each other, which made Ding Jiali feel chilling. Ding Jiali once said: "I have never been really cared for by a man in my life." This may be the hurdle that she can’t get through in her life. Sun Honglei, on the other hand, turned around and talked about love with Wang Jundi, a musician who was only 24 years old. This girlfriend is nearly 20 years younger than Ding Jiali. Soon Sun Honglei married Wang Jundi, and at the wedding scene, she said to her wife, "I am only good to you in my life", which immediately moved Wang Jundi.

After three years of marriage, Wang Jundi and Sun Honglei gave birth to a child.

A beautiful daughter, he and his wife have a very good relationship, and they often attend various activities together. Nowadays, Sun Honglei has gained a firm foothold in the entertainment circle with its own efforts, and the resources are constant. But without the support of Ding Jiali at the beginning, it must be hard for him to meet this rare opportunity. What do you think?

Editor in charge:

　　Before going to Laojun Mountain in Luanchuan, I made a simple strategy. First of all, I’m curious about whether there are any other places called Laojun Mountain. After searching, there are a dozen Laojun Mountains all over the country. But on second thought, it is also reasonable. Either there are legends left behind, or because of reverence, in short, there are various reasons why so many mountains share this name, and the mountains have different names. This is the same road.

　　However, although there are so many Laojun Mountains, with my selfishness, even if I come to Laojun Mountain in Luanchuan for the first time, I will naturally feel the most cordial here. Why? This is Henan. I’m from Henan. There is also a very hard basis: the Tao Te Ching was written in Hanguguan. Of all the Laojun Mountains, there is nothing closer than Laojun Mountain in Luanchuan and Hanguguan. By the way, there is another thing to say: Laojun Mountain here is actually the main peak of Funiu Mountain, the remaining pulse of Qinling Mountains. It is well known that I ride a green cow. Isn’t this mountain in early spring like a huge green cow?

　　The mountain gate is very close to Luanchuan county, but it takes only ten minutes by car. Looking at the mountain at the foot of the mountain, the sky is gloomy and dark clouds are rolling. The tour guide brother said it might rain. Then it will rain. "and, after a night of mountain rain, from each summit come hundreds of silken cascades", you might as well enjoy Baizhong Spring in Laojun Mountain.

　　Take the cable car slowly up the hill. The wind is strong, but the cable car is smooth. With the elevation, the cableway has two levels. The first level is divided into two branches, one is called Zhongling cableway, which is the first cableway built by Laojun Mountain, starting from Lingguan Hall and reaching Zhongtianmen, so it is named Zhongling. One is the Yunjing cableway, which starts from Zhaigou and ends at Zhongtianmen. It’s longer than Zhongling cableway, and it has more pleasing scenery. Thanks for these great inventions. I am such a timid person, I will never try to fly with wings. If I want to have a bird’s-eye view, I can only rely on such an invention.

　　It’s really beautiful, this spring mountain. No matter whether the leaves are green or the flowers are beautiful, all colors are the original colors, which are extremely pure. Forsythia suspensa and Yingchun both have yellow flowers, but they are different, one is gorgeous and the other is calm. Magnolia is also divided into red magnolia and magnolia, and magnolia is more. Grandma’s name is Yulan, so Yulan is my favorite tree. It really hits it off, and people here seem to like Magnolia very much. Magnolia can be seen everywhere in the county seat, and most of the street trees are magnolia. Magnolia is also planted on both sides of the road up the mountain. But the magnolia on this mountain is different from that on the foot of the mountain. The flowers are smaller, and the small flowers are blossoming upwards, full and hard, as if each one is gathering light.

　　On the first level, I arrived at Zhongtianmen-there are Zhongtianmen in Taishan, and there are many places called Zhongtianmen, right? After getting off the cable car, we strolled to the observation deck and looked in the direction of Luanchuan County. We thought we would be obscured by clouds, but it was very clear. What comes into view is a vast plain, surrounded by miniature buildings, roads and ant-like vehicles. The outline of Yishui is faintly visible in the middle. It suddenly occurred to me that the Longmen Grottoes, more than 100 kilometers away, are also beside Yishui. Thinking of Lushena’s smile is like spring water. "Good if water. Water is good for all things without arguing, and it is evil for everyone, so it is a few words. " When the wise man wrote this, did he also think of Yishui?

　　Transfer to the peak forest cableway and continue to climb the mountain, and the mountain becomes steeper and steeper. Out of this higher cableway station, look into the mountains. At this moment, all the mountains are shrouded in clouds, and it really is "how can I tell, through all these clouds?". However, being in the fog and being close to it, there is no gloomy color, but the humidity is getting heavier.

　　Follow the trail slowly. While listening to the tour guide’s little brother talking about the past, I can’t go without Laozi and the origin of Laozi and Laojunshan. It is said that Lao Tzu went here to practice in seclusion during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. In the administrative territory, Laojunshan has been owned by Lushi for many years. It is recorded in Lushi County Records and Inscriptions that laojunmiao was built on the mountain in the Northern Wei Dynasty. In the 11th year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty —— AD 637 —— Li Shimin sent Wei Chijingde as the supervisor to rebuild laojunmiao. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Lu’s county magistrate Gao Gao also wrote "Ode to Mount Jingshi"-Jingshi Mountain is another name of Laojun Mountain. In the preface, he wrote: "Yu to Lu’s, I heard that there are mountains in the world, and the customs are passed down as the residence of Laozi, that is, named after Laojun."

　　Like all places of interest, the incense on the mountain is also very prosperous. Even in this weather, there are many people going up the mountain, and most of them come for praying. It’s just that the way of praying now is also advancing with the times. Blessing signs are everywhere on the branches and railings. In early spring, the trees are swaying with fresh and tender green, and the dense red signs move with the wind, dancing like hearts. Some are grand, such as "I wish world peace". Some are specific, such as "get rich as soon as possible", "make a fortune", "succeed in postgraduate entrance examination" and "go ashore as soon as possible" Looking at it, I can’t help wondering who the well-wishers are. "I hope I can get to the right platform to shine as soon as possible and provide a better life for my family." I want to come to this person who just walked out of school. "I wish my daughter a lifetime with someone at the latest by the end of the year." I think this tone should be a mother. There are many emotional cards. "I wish the opposite sex a smooth relationship". Maybe this one has too many same-sex friends, so I have to emphasize the opposite sex? "I have always loved you. You should live well and let me love you." What kind of person is this? No matter what kind of person, just love.

　　Strolling to the "ten-mile painting screen", in the fog, the tour guide is very dutiful. It is said that clouds cover thousands of miles when the sea of clouds is mighty, that the autumn colors of maple trees dye thousands of peaks, that the white cuckoo is amazing, that the stars are seen on the top of the mountain in midsummer night, that the snow begins to fall, and that Chu Qing is after the snow, and the sunshine, the snow color and the gold on the top of the hall complement each other, which is beautiful. Pointing to the vast distance, I reported the names of scenic spots like a few treasures: Dragon patrolling the mountain, Guanyin enjoying music, Miaobu Lotus …

　　It’s just that the weather is not good today. I can’t see a lot of things. His tone is full of regret.

　　It’s good. I said.

　　If the weather is fine, you can see more and more.

　　I’ve seen enough. I’ve seen everything you said.

　　His expression was obviously incredulous, probably because he thought I was perfunctory. I don’t defend myself. How can a word explain my mood clearly? I know the beauty here, this side of the mountain is different from that side, and this slope is different from that one. Every day is different, every moment is different. Rain is different from snow, early spring and late autumn, midsummer and midwinter. But I can’t live here forever. I, limited, can only come to this mountain at this time. All kinds of limitations determine that I may not come many times in the future. Then concentrate on enjoying the beauty of this moment. As long as I enjoy the beauty of this moment intently, even if I come only once, it will be many times and countless times.

　　Just as there is only one life. Living a good life this time is actually equivalent to living many times.

　　This is my one. I want to keep my one.

　　So, really, everything you can see is good. I have actually seen what I can’t see. Take the heart as the purpose.

　　Tao gives birth to one, life to two, life to three, and life to all things. For a moment, I suddenly understood this sentence. Legend has it that after I wrote the Classic of Tao Te Ching, I bid farewell to Yin Xi, the official of Hangu Pass, and rode away on a green ox. Historical Records records: "I don’t know where it will end". In fact, there is no need to know this. He is on the road.

　　Looking towards the west, the mountains are boundless. I checked with my mobile phone, and it is 168.1 kilometers from Laojunshan to Hanguguan. Looking at this number with zero and integer, I laughed silently. This one, how good.
