　　[Global Times reporter Li Linjia Liu Zhi] On April 1, Russia’s special military action against Ukraine entered its 37th day. According to Russian media reports, while Russian troops are preparing to launch a new round of offensive in Donbass, Uzbekistan rarely attacked an oil base in western Russia on the 1st. On the other hand, the confrontation between Russia and the United States and the West in the energy field has intensified. Putin signed a presidential decree on March 31, and the new rules for Russian "unfriendly countries and regions" to pay Russian natural gas in rubles came into effect on April 1.

　　Russia and Ukraine are talking while playing

　　On March 31st, the Russian Viewpoint reported that "Russian troops are preparing for the largest military operation since the Great Patriotic War", saying that Russian troops and the armed forces in Donbass region are being mobilized from the north, east and south of this region, and an encirclement will soon be formed, with more than 50,000 Ukrainian troops surrounded. Russian military expert Boris Rozin said that this is the task of the second phase of Russian special military operations. Only after the defeat of Ukrainian troops in this region can problems in other regions be solved. According to the information released by the Russian Defense Ministry on March 31, the Russian army attacked 28 military targets in Ukraine that day and shot down a Mi -24 helicopter gunship and four drones. The Ukrainian Ministry of National Defense issued a war report in the early morning of the 1 ST, saying that Russian military equipment and personnel suffered heavy losses, but they still failed to block and occupy Kiev and were forced to temporarily abandon this task.

　　On the 1st, RIA Novosti quoted the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations as saying that an oil facility in Belgorod, the capital of Belgorod state in western Russia, was attacked by two helicopters of Ukrainian armed forces and caught fire, causing two workers to be injured. Sivkov, a Russian military expert, said that this is the first time that Ukrainian troops have carried out air strikes on Russian territory since the war between Russia and Ukraine began more than a month ago. Ukrainian Defense Ministry spokesman Motuz yanik responded to relevant reports: "We neither confirm nor deny (for air strikes), which does not mean that Uzbekistan is responsible for this incident."

　　Russian-Ukrainian negotiations continued. According to the Russian satellite news agency reported on the 1st, the head of the Russian delegation, Mei kinski, said that the Russian-Ukrainian delegation had resumed online negotiations that day, and Russia’s position on the issues of Crimea and Donbass had not changed. Putin said in a telephone conversation with Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi on March 31st that the time for talks with Uzbek President Zelensky is not yet ripe, but some progress has been made in the negotiations between the two sides.

　　Energy war, Russia and the United States enlarge their moves

　　Russia’s "ruble settlement order" came into effect on April 1. According to the presidential decree signed by Putin, companies that are "unfriendly countries and regions" to Russia should first open ruble accounts in Russian banks, and then pay for the Russian natural gas purchased through this account. If they refuse to buy natural gas in rubles, these companies will be regarded as not complying with their obligations under the natural gas contract and the contract will be suspended. On the same day, peskov explained that the payment for natural gas supplied after April 1st will be paid in the second half of April and May, and Russia will not cut off the natural gas supply to Europe from April 1st. Putin also signed another order on the 1 ST, stipulating that Russian companies can temporarily pay the cost of leasing and purchasing aircraft to companies in countries that are "unfriendly" to Russia in rubles. On the same day, Medvedev, vice chairman of the Russian Federal Security Council, further announced that Russia would only export food to friendly countries in the form of ruble and national local currency settlement.

　　In response to the soaring energy prices caused by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Biden announced on March 31 that the United States will release 1 million barrels of oil every day from its strategic oil reserves within six months from May, expecting a "significant drop" in domestic gasoline prices. Biden also said that he is waiting for the exact number of oil reserves that the allies plan to release, which he expects may reach 30 million to 50 million barrels. Reuters reported that the United States released a total of 180 million barrels of reserve oil this time, the largest scale ever, which was about two days’ demand in the global crude oil market, enough to make up for the reduced oil imports after the United States imposed an energy embargo on Russia in March, but not enough to make up for the losses in the global oil market.

　　Western rendering "Putin is misled"

　　According to a report by Wutong News Agency on March 31st, Zelensky announced the dismissal of two Ukrainian national security officials in a video speech released late that night, calling them "traitors". According to the video speech, the two people who were dismissed were the heads of the main domestic security department of the Ukrainian National Security Agency and the head of the Hellson regional office. Zelensky did not elaborate on why the two men were dismissed, but he said that these officers "have not decided where their motherland is" violated the military oath of the Ukrainian army to serve the people.

　　On the other hand, American and Western officials have greatly exaggerated that "Putin was misled and blinded by aides". According to the British "Financial Times" reported on March 31, Biden said in response to relevant questions that day: "There are some indications that Putin has fired some aides or put them under house arrest." Jeremy Fleming, head of the government communication headquarters of the British intelligence agency, claimed that Putin’s adviser "did not dare to tell the truth" on the situation in Ukraine, which led to Putin’s serious misjudgment of the situation. Kate Bedingfeld, director of the White House Communications Office, said that according to US intelligence, Putin believed that he had been misled by the Russian military in the Ukrainian war, which led to increasingly tense relations between him and senior military officials.

　　In response, peskov, Russian Presidential Press Secretary, said on March 31st: "We regret that neither the State Council nor the Pentagon have real information about the Kremlin. They don’t understand the situation in Kegong at all, neither President Putin nor the decision-making mechanism and working methods of the Russian government. " Peskov also said that this situation is worrying, because this complete misunderstanding will lead to the wrong and reckless decision of the United States.

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.

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 a few days, Musk will celebrate his 53rd birthday, and there is evidence that he may be the father of 12 babies. Over the years, Musk has been contributing to the increase of the world’s population, and he has constantly called on human beings to have more children.

Bloomberg recently quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that earlier this year, the third child of American billionaire Musk and the female executive of the brain-computer interface technology company "Neural Connection" was born. According to media statistics, Musk has become the father of at least 12 children during his interaction with many women.

Neither Musk nor Chiris responded to this news.

Musk was born in South Africa on June 28th, 1971. According to media reports, the world’s richest man has been associated with at least four women.

Musk has had three marriages. In 2000, Musk got married for the first time. His wife, Justin Wilson, is a Canadian writer. Their marriage lasted eight years, during which they gave birth to six sons. Alexander, the first child, died unexpectedly at the age of 10 weeks, and then the couple gave birth to twins (Griffin Musk and Xavier Musk) and triplets (Kai, Saxon, Damia) in vitro, all boys.

In 2008, after the divorce, Musk shared the custody of the children with Justin Wilson.

Musk’s remaining two marriages are only related to one woman. In 2010, Musk married westworld actress talulah riley, and they divorced in 2012. In July 2013, the two remarried. In March 2016, the two divorced again.

There were no children in this marriage. Since then, Musk has never stepped into marriage, but the pace of having children has never stopped.

In May 2020, Musk gave birth to a son named X with Canadian singer Grimes. After they broke up, in 2022, Grimes gave birth to Musk’s daughter, nicknamed Y, through surrogacy.

During this period, Musk and Hivon Chiris also gave birth to two children. Chiris is a female executive of Musk’s "neural connection". A court document shows that Musk gave birth to twins with Chiris in November 2021. It is reported that the child was born in a test tube.

In 2023, walter isaacson, a biographer of Musk, confirmed that Musk and Grimes had a third child that had not been reported before. The child’s age has not been made public, and he is nicknamed Tau.

Earlier this year, Musk was exposed and quietly gave birth to a child with Chiris.

It is not clear how many children Musk has. According to public reports, there are 11 children who are still alive.

Musk had previously expressed concern about the decline in fertility rate around the world, especially in developed countries. In June this year, Musk said that the country was "going extinct" and called on everyone to have more children and avoid "population collapse". In addition, the Musk Foundation secretly subsidizes the American civil society organization "Encouraging Birth Movement", which is committed to encouraging birth at the economic and political levels.

Musk’s "population crisis theory" is not recognized by academic circles. According to the prediction of the United Nations, the world population will exceed the peak of 10 billion by 2100. It is generally believed in academic circles that after the world population reaches its peak, it will maintain a stable trend or decrease slowly, and there will be no so-called "population crisis" on the earth in the short term.
