Full text summary:

  It can be seen that the recent price adjustment of new energy vehicles includes products of most mainstream China brands, overseas brands and new power brands, and all of them are for price increase. This is certainly not good news for consumers who are preparing to buy cars in the near future, but for manufacturers, the price increase of upstream raw materials, tight supply chain and other factors also make them very headache, and even have to cut production to some extent. As for when the upstream and downstream of the automobile industry can return to normal, it may have to wait until the epidemic situation has further subsided/the international situation has stabilized before it can improve.

How does "Foxconn" stop Sharp’s rebirth?

Three years after being acquired by Foxconn, Sharp is looking for a new way to survive.

On May 21st, Sun Yuewei, general manager of Sharp China, told reporters that Sharp began to refocus on mid-to high-end products and return to the technical standard.

A month later, Sharp will determine whether the new board list will take effect. If nothing happens, Hu Guohui, Lin Zhong Zheng and Chen Weiming will join the board of directors. Their common background is from Hon Hai Group (also known as Foxconn).

At the end of March 2016, Foxconn announced the acquisition of Sharp’s equity with a total transaction price of 388.8 billion yen. On April 2, Foxconn signed a contract with Sharp, and the four-year acquisition negotiation was finally completed. After the completion of the acquisition, personnel adjustment, strategy change and repositioning frequently occur. Now, the operation is quite successful. One year after the acquisition, Sharp reduced its losses by nearly 90% in FY 2016 and returned to the main board of Dongzheng at the end of the year. In fiscal year 2017, Sharp’s net profit was 70.2 billion yen, achieving its first profit in four years. In 2018, Sharp failed to achieve double growth in revenue and profit. Some people believe that Foxconn’s sharp price cut on Sharp once damaged this century-old number, and the shrinking brand value caused controversy.

Because of the controversy over performance, the outside world doubts whether the global foundry giant Foxconn has really mastered Sharp, and speculates whether Sharp will change hands again. This led Sharp to make a public response. In April 2019, the company denied the existence of plans to sell TV business, and in May, it put forward new business strategies such as "black and white progress" in the United States, China and other markets.

It took four years for Guo Taiming to "eat" Sharp.

For Sharp, Foxconn was once a rescuer of business and an ally against Samsung Electronics.

Nine years ago, in the summer, the then president of Sharp, Kanxiong Katayama, met with Guo Taiming to discuss patent licensing and capacity distribution cooperation, because the 10th generation line panel factory in Bengbu, which Sharp was proud of, was facing the dilemma of inefficiency.

Two years later, in March 2012, Foxconn invested about 133 billion yen in Sharp and bought 9.9% of the shares. Guo Taiming also personally invested in Sharp Display Manufacturing Company (later SDP), the operating company of the factory, holding 46.5% of the shares, which is the same as that of Sharp.

For this investment, nine years later, Sun Yuewei and many other people familiar with the matter told the Beijing News reporter that the factory was the only 10th generation line in the world at that time, which was of great significance to the large-panel color TV business. Generations are divided according to the size of glass substrates. The 10th generation line can cut six 65-inch, eight 55-inch or 57-inch panels, and mastering the production capacity is the key for downstream enterprises to participate in the competition.

And let Guo Taiming make up his mind to buy the whole Sharp, which stems from the delay of many subsequent cooperation.

At that time, Foxconn was already the OEM of Apple’s iPhone and iPad, and Sharp was the main panel supplier of Apple equipment. However, the contradiction between different executives within Sharp Company has led to several delays in cooperation with Foxconn. Guo Taiming couldn’t help but speak his mind. "In this case, I will simply buy the whole Sharp." Japanese media quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that Sharp panicked because its interest-bearing liabilities had reached about 1.1 trillion yen at that time.

Not only that, Sun Yuewei told reporters that Foxconn has been undergoing transformation and needs various technical sources. At that time, many top Japanese companies such as Sharp were discussing technology transfer, hoping to combine Japanese manufacturing technology with the huge domestic market and Foxconn’s advantages.

In June 2012, Guo Taiming said that cooperation with Sharp would help defeat Samsung Electronics.

However, Guo Taiming’s acquisition of Sharp was not smooth. Shortly after Sharp reached an agreement with Foxconn, its share price began to plummet. Guo Taiming demanded a substantial adjustment of relevant conditions, and expected to directly participate in the operation, instead of just providing financial assistance to Sharp like the banking industry. He once told the media that "it is just like not giving children pocket money". The agreement between the two sides broke down.

In 2015, Guo Taiming and Gao Qiao Xingsan, then President of Sharp, did not meet again to discuss Sharp’s reform. In 2016, Sharp and Foxconn signed a priority negotiation agreement under a series of commitments, including not splitting the company and not abolishing employees under 40. However, Foxconn soon slowed down the negotiation process, because Sharp broke the contingent debt worth about 20 billion yuan, which was close to half of the offer with Foxconn. Therefore, Foxconn asked for an in-depth audit.

In this process, Sharp disclosed its quarterly results with a net loss of 108.3 billion yen, but it did not solve the financial shortage through layoffs, asset sales and bank loans. With this opportunity, Foxconn was able to lower the price. When it was announced on the afternoon of March 30, the total price of Foxconn’s final contribution was 388.8 billion yen.

A few days later, on April 2nd, Guo Taiming, Dai Zhengwu and Gao Qiao Xingsan attended the signing ceremony. Guo Taiming was in high spirits at the meeting place, and expressed his position to transform Sharp with the "working spirit of seven days a week". Later, Dai Zhengwu became the president of Sharp, lived in the dormitory with employees, and arrived at the company before 7: 10 every day.

A month later, Dai Zhengwu announced his goal of turning losses into profits in the second half of that year, which was one year earlier than previously expected. Sharp has lost more than 200 billion yen for two consecutive years.

Layoffs and price cuts, Guo Taiming went into battle to squeeze profits.

On May 17th, Sharp announced the list of candidates for the next director, and the current president Dai Zhengwu is still in the list of candidates for the next director. It is worth noting that the current Sharp directors Liu Yangwei and Wang Jianer will both withdraw from the next Sharp Board of Directors. Earlier, some foreign media speculated that Liu Yangwei was the successor of Guo Taiming, chairman of Hon Hai Group (Foxconn), or would become the chairman of Hon Hai.

Dai Zhengwu is the first foreign president in Sharp’s eight-year history. He is a Japanese expert in Foxconn and is known as "Dai Sang". He helped Foxconn win orders for Sony PS2 game consoles and entered Sony’s supply chain. Before taking charge of Sharp, he was in charge of the vice president of Foxconn Consumer Products Group and Important Peripheral Function Group.

Dai Zhengwu has a tough style. He sent two open letters to 47,000 Sharp employees in a month, announcing the reform. Japanese media reported that when Dai Zhengwu mastered Sharp’s household appliances, electronic parts, LCD, solar cells and other businesses, he asked the management to respond to his questions as soon as possible through video conference, and set up a president’s office with 200 employees to decide all personnel appointment and dismissal rights, and refused to meet with external directors to discuss.

One of Dai Zhengwu’s specialties is dismantling costs and squeezing out profits. For the transformation of Sharp, Dai Zhengwu’s three axes include layoffs, price reduction and distribution reduction. The scale of layoffs was initially considered at 1000, and was eventually expanded to 7000. At the same time, in order to reduce the cost, Dai Zhengwu transferred the purchase to Foxconn, and cleared the inventory through Foxconn’s e-commerce platform Fulian. During double 11 in 2016, Sharp even launched a "buy big and get small" promotion in China market, that is, buying a 70-inch TV and giving away a 60-inch TV.

This is inseparable from the support of Foxconn Guo Taiming. The Sharp product promotion project led by Foxconn was named "Tianhu Plan", and Guo Taiming even took the command personally.

In September 2017, in order to prepare for double 11, Foxconn even announced that as long as it sells one piece of equipment, it will have a promotion fee of 50 to 300 yuan; Externally, Guo Taiming put forward the slogan of "noble but not expensive", and announced that he would build a production line in mainland China and invest 61 billion yuan to set up a 10.5-generation line 8K display eco-industrial park in Guangzhou.

Not only that, Sharp also reduced the configuration. Since the LCD screen accounts for nearly 70% of the TV cost, Sharp gave up the original Sharp screen on the low-end products, but chose the LCD screen produced by Innolux, a lower cost subsidiary of Foxconn. In addition, the frame and chip of the fuselage have been replaced with standards. Chen Zhenguo, vice president of Foxconn, repeatedly stressed that low prices and high-end products did not conflict.

One year after the acquisition, Sharp announced a loss of 25 billion yen in fiscal year 2016, a decrease of about 90% compared with the loss of 255.9 billion yen in fiscal year 2015. In FY 2017, Sharp’s sales increased by 18.4%, achieving revenue of 2.43 trillion yen and net profit of 70.2 billion yen, achieving its first profit in four years. Because of the remarkable effect, Sharp proposed the goal of selling 10 million LCD TVs worldwide in FY 2018, which is twice that of FY 2016. This target was subsequently raised to 14 million units. Sharp further proposed a plan to increase operating profit by 2.5 times in the next three years.

This is a whole set of Foxconn OEM logic, hitting the market at a low price and concentrating resources to fight for business.

However, behind the turnaround, Foxconn’s adjustment of Sharp’s market strategy also ignited the fuse for the first major crisis after the acquisition of Sharp. On May 10, 2019, Sun Yuewei, general manager of Sharp China, said in an interview that only about 80% of the annual target was achieved in 2018.

Sun Yuewei told reporters that in April 2018, he was asked to enter Sharp. Previously, he was responsible for the business of panels, which was the upstream of TV and other devices with screens.

The "Tianhu Plan" ends and goes back to the high end.

Some consumers report that it is difficult to associate such a low-priced product with SHARP’s brand if the trademark "Sharp" is not printed on the front of the product. GfK analyst Li Mo told reporters that the main difference between international TV brands in the domestic market is their high-end brand image.

Zhongyikang data confirmed the process of Sharp’s cliff-cutting price reduction. The average price of Sharp TV has dropped from about 6,000 yuan in early 2016 to about 3,800 yuan in May 2017.

In addition, behind Foxconn’s massive cost reduction, complaints about Sharp TV are also rising.

Due to the strategy of selling one machine and losing one machine to seize the market, Foxconn’s net profit in the second quarter of 2017 decreased by 36% month-on-month and its operating cost increased by 9.1%. This pattern of seizing the market did not last long. Sharp TV, which broke into the top five in the world in the first half of 2017, slowed down in the second half of the year, ranking only eighth in the whole year.

In the second half of 2018, Sharp finally realized the crisis.

In September, Dai Zhengwu spoke to hundreds of Chinese mainland dealers at the Foxconn factory in Shenzhen, saying that Sharp will pursue a balance between quality and quantity growth in the China market in the future. This is regarded by the industry as the end declaration of the "Tianhu Plan". Not only that, Dai Zhengwu stopped the decision to entrust the sales in China market to Fulian. com, a subsidiary of Foxconn, in the past two years.

Sun Yuewei explained that Sharp began to refocus on high-end products and return to the technical standard. Regarding Foxconn’s strategy before September 2018, he thinks that this has laid a foundation for the China market. After taking over the business in September, all he has to do is to promote Sharp to get the support of consumers. The method is to change from the strategy of pursuing "quantity" to pursuing "quality" because consumption upgrading is just needed under fierce competition.

A few days ago, Sharp released 8K TV and AIoT white goods in Guangzhou. This is regarded by the industry as Sharp’s return to the old road of cultivating brand value with cutting-edge technology.

In addition, according to Japanese media reports, Sharp announced that it will launch a 5G smartphone as early as the spring of 2020.

In order to cope with the new competition, Sharp adjusted its daily management mode. In addition to being led by the president, Sharp has established a management committee, including the heads of R&D, supply chain, products, sales, logistics and after-sales, which is responsible for all policies and strategic layout. This management committee meets twice a month to discuss issues, make final decisions and implement them. The reason why discussions are held so frequently is that it is due to market competition, and it is necessary to improve the accuracy of planning and forecasting, so it is necessary to correct the implementation results in time.

Stopping Foxconn is an important step to restore Sharp’s brand value. Guo Taiming once took a fancy to Sharp brand to fulfill his long-standing brand dream. Foxconn once launched its own brands such as "InfoVision", but they were all submerged in the market and failed to get rid of the label of "OEM Empire".

Enter the 8K competition, keep the basic disk of black electricity and introduce white electricity.

In November 2018, the focus of Sharp’s promotion activities turned to small household appliances such as Sharp water purifiers and air purifiers, and the crazy promotion of Sharp TV disappeared.

In May 2019, Sharp announced that "black and white progress" has become an important strategy for the China market this year. The so-called "black-and-white progress" means that while promoting 8K TV, Sharp has made efforts to produce white goods such as refrigerators and air purifiers. Due to the limited increment of the black electricity market dominated by color TV, in the next year or two, Sharp needs to maintain the fundamentals of black electricity while ensuring profits through white electricity, thus entering the market competition in the 8K stage.

For Sharp, it is not easy to keep the basic disk of TV. A technical expert from a color TV company in China told reporters that 8K does not mean industrial revolution, but technological innovation. Therefore, 8K can’t form a drastic industrial change like flat-panel TV replacing CRT TV, and the bottleneck of TV industry itself needs a breakthrough in physical and chemical technology. For the production of 8K TV, the threshold is not high, because the supporting industries such as content are not yet mature, and it is difficult to sell the products on a large scale.

As for why Sharp attaches importance to 8K, the technical expert told the reporter that because 8K has a driving force on the brand itself, it can enhance the premium space. It can be seen that the increase of 8K TV in 2020 will be more obvious than that in 2019, but in the long run, 4K TV has not been popularized, and it may take 8 to 10 years for 8K TV to reach the level of 60% share.

At present, the single product profit of 8K TV is higher than other types of products, but there are only four or five thousand plates in the domestic market, and there are not many brands. The expert said that the main purpose of 8K TV at present is to support the facade. Manufacturers are not active in entering the commercial market, because the price transparency leads to meager profits, and the project credit may lose money and earn money.

Not only that, Sharp has to face fierce market competition. GfK analyst Yang Yizhen told reporters that Xiaomi’s low-price strategy has made it rise all the way since 2017. Its TV price is 10%-20% lower than that of domestic brands, and the average price is 1,800 yuan in 2018. It is the only TV manufacturer with an average price of less than 2,000 yuan in China.

The agency predicts that the sales volume of official website Xiaomi, including the brand, may reach 10 million units in 2019, while other traditional TV manufacturers in China will only reach about 6.5 million units at most. Sharp ranked behind the six major domestic products and Xiaomi in 2018, because it changed its strategy of impacting sales, which was lower than that in 2017. However, due to the limited supply of 8K panels, manufacturers with resources give priority to self-supply, thus gaining the monopoly advantage in the initial stage of the market and maximizing it.

Sun Yuewei said that in FY 2017, further losses have been prevented, and in FY 2018, profits began to be made. Next, the color TV market is very big, but the competition will be fierce, and it will be difficult to make a profit alone. Therefore, in addition to improving the competitiveness of products and making profits, introducing white electricity and expanding operations on the basis of black electricity will balance the overall profitability.

Sun Yuewei said, "In 2017, we began to discuss the introduction of white electricity, and decided to start implementation from September 2018."

For white electricity, the current strategy is that refrigerators and washing machines will be introduced in all markets to meet the needs of consumers’ daily life, but different products will be selected according to different regions and seasons for special needs. Sun Yuewei takes the smog in Northeast China and North China as an example, and will introduce air purifier products with mature technology in this area. In addition, Sharp also conducts research and development for beauty appliances and pet appliances, and plans the order of product research and development according to the needs of smart homes.

White electricity is difficult to fight price wars, and smart homes are not popular.

Sun Yuewei told reporters that there are two main types of consumer groups that Sharp is currently targeting. One is the traditional 40-year-old people who buy household appliances in a traditional way of thinking, while the other is the younger consumer groups around 20 years old, who are no longer price-oriented. However, for the market forecast in 2019, Sun Yuewei thinks that it can only be completed after the "618" promotion activity, because the China market has declined from January to April 2019 due to the international environment, but this does not represent the annual data.

For Sharp, the white electricity market cannot use the strategy of "low price for quantity". Li Mo told reporters that at present, the white electricity market in China mainly covers most categories with Haier and Midea, and there are giants such as Gree in sub-sectors such as air conditioning. White electricity is a consumer goods market with a slower iteration cycle, which is closely related to the population trend and the real estate industry.

Usually, the iteration period of air conditioner is 5 to 8 years, washing machine is 8 to 10 years, and refrigerator is 10 to 12 years. Only when the user realizes the replacement or product damage will he buy it, and the discount is only an additional item in the purchase. The last home appliance growth period in China was around 2009, when home appliances went to the countryside, which expanded the new market.

Not only that, Li Mo said that the white electricity market is not good for making money. In 2018, the household retail channels of multiple categories declined significantly. The sales volume of air conditioners decreased by 0.2%, refrigerators decreased by 5.2%, and washing machines decreased by 2%. Moreover, in multiple sub-categories, head players account for more than 50% of the market, and manufacturers are no longer willing to fight price wars. First-line brands gradually give up the low-end market in pursuit of profits.

With the view of the Internet of Everything recognized by the industry, Sharp proposed the strategy of 8K+AIoT (Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things) two years ago. Dai Zhengwu once explained that the AIoT strategy covers the fields of smart home, smart office, smart factory and smart city, and Sharp will provide COCORO+ ecological platform, making it a self-circulating and expanding system.

Although smart home is the development direction of manufacturers, the demand of consumers is still related to actual use, and the scene demand of smart home is not obvious, and consumers are not willing to buy all household appliances with the same brand packaging scheme. A vice president of a white goods manufacturer told reporters that there is no timetable for the popularization of smart homes.

Foxconn promotes the recovery of assets such as intellectual property sold by Sharp.

Sharp, founded in 1912, has focused on and led LCD panels and related industries for decades. Sharp, known as the "father of LCD", LCD TV once occupied 40% of the global market share. Around 2012, when Sharp faced bankruptcy, it transferred some intellectual property rights to raise funds. Dai Zhengwu once said that there are plans to gradually recover the assets sold.

In the second half of 2016, Sharp and Foxconn established an intellectual property management company, ScienBiziP Japan. According to the data, this company has a registered capital of 49,000 US dollars and is headquartered in Osaka, Japan. Sharp holds 51% of its shares, Foxconn’s ScienBiziP Bizip Consulting Company holds 20%, and the management holds 29%. ScienBiziP Japan was previously the intellectual property department of Sharp, and promoted the trading of Sharp’s patent portfolio after the establishment of an independent company.

The president of ScienBIzIP Bizip Company is YP Jou, that is, Zhou Yanpeng. According to public information, Zhou Yanpeng served as general counsel for Foxconn for 18 years, served as the legal chief of Foxconn and participated in Foxconn’s strategy formulation. Zhou Yanpeng once said that in recent years, Foxconn’s business has undergone great changes, giving up many patents, and focusing on the intellectual property deployment of 5G and 8K technologies and key components.

After taking control of Sharp, Foxconn wants to get back the assets acquired by Hisense. In July 2015, Hisense acquired the entire equity and assets of Sharp Mexico Company for US$ 23.7 million, and obtained the brand use right and channel resources of Sharp TV in the Americas for five years. According to the original agreement, Hisense will operate the Sharp North American brand until January 5, 2021.

In June 2017, Foxconn filed a lawsuit against Hisense in the California court, accusing Hisense of using Sharp brand to sell low-quality and low-priced TV products in the United States to damage its brand image, demanding that it stop using trademarks and compensate for the loss of 100 million US dollars. Although this incident ended in Sharp losing the case, analysts pointed out that Foxconn’s move was eager to save Sharp’s declining brand image.

In May 2019, Sharp shook hands with Hisense and regained Sharp’s brand use rights and sales business in the US market. Sharp plans to relocate in the US market in the third quarter of 2019 and catch up with the peak sales season at the end of the year. Sun Yuewei told reporters that the US market is being re-planned, while other major markets of Sharp include China, Japan and Europe, and more resources will be invested in the future.

In addition to restarting Sharp’s US business, Sun Yuewei is also responsible for promoting the construction of Foxconn’s 6th generation line project in Wisconsin. In July 2017, Foxconn announced that it would invest $10 billion to build a factory in this area to produce LCD panels for televisions and other electronic products. Due to the change of the state government, the progress of the project was once hindered.

In April 2019, Foxconn issued a statement saying that it looked forward to further consultations with the current governor and his team on cooperation. A week ago, Sun Yuewei went to America on business. He told reporters that as a manager of Sharp, he must adapt to the cultures of many countries. While gaining a foothold in China, Sharp has focused on other markets.

From today, the express delivery can’t be put in the post station without authorization. Is it in place? What do citizens and couriers think?

From March 1st, the Measures for the Administration of Express Delivery Market came into effect. Among them, it is clear that enterprises engaged in express delivery business shall not use smart express boxes and express service stations to deliver express mail without the consent of users. It is also not allowed to confirm the receipt of the express mail without the user’s consent.

On the first day of the implementation of the new regulations, The Paper reporter interviewed citizens, couriers, the person in charge of express delivery sites and express delivery companies. Many citizens expressed their support. Some of them said that when there was no one at home, they did not object to putting the courier at the post station, but only hoped to be informed in advance and have the right to choose. Some citizens also think that we should discuss it and understand each other in special circumstances.

The courier companies also made it clear that they should send the parts according to the needs of users. However, the courier said that he also had his own difficulties. For example, because the customer’s phone couldn’t get through, he had to put the express mail at the station. A person in charge of the site admits that after the implementation of the new regulations, the requirements for couriers are higher. In actual operation, it may affect the dispatch speed, increase operating costs, and the freight rate may rise.

Citizen: I don’t object to express delivery, but the courier can’t decide without authorization.

Article 54 of the Measures for the Administration of Express Delivery Market, which came into effect on March 1, 2024, clarifies that if an enterprise engaged in express delivery business has any of the following circumstances, the postal administration department shall order it to make corrections, give it a warning or informed criticism, and may impose a fine of less than 10,000 yuan; If the circumstances are serious, a fine of not less than 10,000 yuan but not more than 30,000 yuan shall be imposed: (1) confirming the receipt of the express mail on behalf of the user without the consent of the user; (2) using smart express boxes, express service stations, etc. to deliver express mail without the consent of users; (3) Throwing or trampling express mail.

Ms. Zhang, a citizen of Shanghai, told the reporter that she bought a box of egg tarts online before, and the courier left it at the courier station in the community without saying hello. It hasn’t been delivered to the door for more than half a month, and she didn’t dare to eat it when she got it, for fear of deterioration. Ms. Zhang expressed support for the implementation of the new regulations. "I think the express delivery should be delivered to the door, but when there is no one at home, I have no objection to putting the express delivery at the post office. The key point is that it is impossible to put it in the station without authorization and consent. As a consumer, you should have the right to choose and be informed in advance. "

On February 29, Ms. Yang, a Shanghai citizen, received two couriers, and the signer was at her doorstep. "Fortunately, I received them all, and I was afraid I would lose them." Ms. Yang said that it’s good that express delivery can be delivered to the door, but it’s very important to inform the recipient in advance. If it’s valuables, I still hope to sign in person.

Ms. Li, a Shanghai citizen, lives in a large community. After the courier puts the express mail in the post station, the post station will still deliver it to your door. "After the new regulations come out, it is certainly better if they are delivered directly to the door, but it is estimated that it is difficult to implement." Ms. Li believes that the implementation of the new regulations will not happen overnight. It is necessary to discuss whether to send it to the door or not. When there are special circumstances, couriers and citizens should also understand each other.

On the afternoon of March 1st, Ms. Wu, a citizen of Qingpu, Shanghai, received a courier, but as usual, the courier was directly put into the HIVE BOX cabinet. "I didn’t receive the phone call and text message from the courier in advance, but only received the WeChat notice from HIVE BOX Cabinet."

Person in charge of express delivery station: It may affect the delivery speed, and the freight may rise.

For the express delivery industry, the implementation of the new regulations means that opportunities and challenges coexist. On the one hand, the service can be standardized, but on the other hand, the requirements for first-line couriers are higher.

A courier brother in Shanghai said that sometimes hundreds of calls are made a day, many telephone customers don’t answer, and people are not at home during working hours. They have to put the express mail at the post station. "There is no way, otherwise I will lose it." He said that while implementing the new regulations, it is hoped that the outlets will distribute the workload reasonably, otherwise the pressure on couriers will be very great. On the one hand, the customer doesn’t answer the phone, and on the other hand, there is a fine warning. If we want to complete the previous workload as always, "we can’t afford it."

Xiao Wang, a Shanghai courier, said that most of the areas he is responsible for are old communities, and many of them have to climb the building. If every order is required to be delivered to the door, I hope that I can also give corresponding and reasonable rewards.

A person in charge of a site who has been engaged in express delivery service in Shanghai for many years told reporters that after the implementation of the new regulations, the requirements for couriers are higher. In actual operation, it may affect the delivery speed and increase operating costs.

The person in charge of the express delivery site said that the site now requires couriers to contact customers by phone before delivery. Some consumers feel that their rights and interests have been improved, and they will ask couriers to deliver all the express mail to their doors. "There are many communities on the sixth and seventh floors in our delivery area, and we have to climb the stairs. Large items could have been placed in the post station, but now they all require home delivery, which will inevitably affect the total delivery amount of one day." The person in charge of the above-mentioned express delivery site bluntly said that for the courier, the number of dispatched parts is less, which directly affects the income. And if the express delivery enterprise raises the delivery price of each ticket, it will increase the cost of the enterprise, and the freight may rise for the customer.

In addition, some insiders suggest that the consumer’s choice should be completed at the front end. When placing an order, the courier will have an estimated delivery time, and consumers can choose whether to deliver the goods to the door or put them at the post station.

Each courier company makes it clear that the delivery should be made according to the needs of users.

Regarding the Measures for the Administration of Express Market, which was officially implemented on March 1st, YTO Express said that he had organized many internal studies and trainings to ensure that the whole network deeply understood and implemented the spirit and requirements of the measures. Yuantong will strictly implement relevant regulations, continuously improve service quality and better serve users.

ZTO Express said that he would actively implement the requirements of the Measures for the Administration of Express Delivery Market, improve the quality and safety of express delivery services, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of front-line employees, and help the industry develop healthily and with high quality. In response to the requirements of the Measures for the Administration of Express Delivery Market on express delivery, Zhongtong will provide delivery services according to the needs of users, and those that need to be delivered to the door will be delivered to the door.

Shentong Express said that the newly revised "Measures for the Administration of Express Market" not only requires higher standards for express delivery services, but also has a clearer penalty standard from the legal level, which is conducive to further promoting the improvement of industry service quality and industry norms. As for the terminal delivery service specification, Shentong has made it clear that it should be delivered according to the needs of users.

Management department: users can ask for a new door-to-door delivery if they do not agree to deliver it to the post office.

The Paper learned from Shanghai Postal Administration that in order to implement the Measures, Shanghai Postal Administration, as a management department, will strictly implement the responsibility of industry supervision, adhere to administration according to law, strengthen supervision and inspection, strictly enforce the law, and deal with illegal issues in a timely manner. At the same time, urge enterprises to strictly implement the main responsibility, strengthen scientific and technological empowerment, and continuously improve service quality.

The relevant person in charge of the Shanghai Postal Administration told The Paper that with the development of the express delivery industry, new situations and new problems are constantly emerging, and the scale of the express delivery market is gradually growing, and it is necessary to strengthen the standardization of market operation order; To promote the green development of express delivery industry, it is necessary to improve the relevant institutional system; To strengthen the safety management of express delivery industry, especially to protect the safety of users’ personal information, it is necessary to strengthen the relevant institutional constraints. The above practical problems put forward urgent requirements for further improving the system design of the Measures for the Administration of Express Market.

The revision of the "Measures" is mainly to summarize the mature experience and practical needs in the development of the express delivery industry and upgrade it to institutional arrangements; At the same time, establish a more comprehensive system orientation to guide the green and low-carbon development of the express delivery industry; From the aspects of service quality and security, we will further strengthen the system norms, improve the quality of express delivery services, earnestly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, and promote the high-quality development of the express delivery industry.

For the problem that the express delivery enterprises that the masses are concerned about will deliver the express mail to the express box or post station without the user’s consent, the user can ask the courier to deliver it again. If the courier still hasn’t delivered the goods to the door, users can safeguard their rights and interests by complaining to the enterprise, calling 12305 or 12345, and reporting to the postal administration.

Bmw i4 is not only fashionable, but also accelerates 100 kilometers by 3.9.

The requirement for people to buy a car now is not only comfortable, but also other aspects such as configuration, power, materials and workmanship are important reference factors. I’ll bring this one to you today. Next, let’s take a look with Xiaobian.

Let’s look at the appearance of BMW i4 first. The front face style of BMW i4 looks very full of personality and sporty. Coupled with simple headlights, the visual effect is not bad. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, automatic opening and closing, adaptive far and near light, delayed closing and so on. Come to the side of the car, the car body size is 4785MM*1852MM*1455MM, the car uses simple and elegant lines, the side feels very full, with large-sized thick-walled tires, it looks full of movement. In the rear part, the rear looks very dignified, and the taillight style is more fashionable and cool.

When you get into the car, the interior of BMW i4 is more delicate and handsome, and the visual effect is very good. The steering wheel of the car is well designed, made of genuine leather and has a high palm fit. From the central control point of view, the design of the center console is reasonable, which makes the interior design quite layered and has a certain sense of science and technology.

    The film, directed by Li Yu and co-starred by Fan Bingbing and Chen Bolin, will be released on March 4. Director Li Yu won the Best Artistic Contribution Award at the 23rd Tokyo International Film Festival, and Fan Bingbing won the title of Tokyo for her film. In the film, she plays the nightclub singer "Nanfeng", and many scenes in the film take place in nightclubs. Some film critics have described the love and hate of nightclubs in "Guanyin Mountain" as undoubtedly a landmark of youth.

Landmark Feature 1: Wild Fashion

    Fan Bingbing plays Nanfeng in the film, a girl who has failed the college entrance examination and is adrift in the metropolis chasing her love dream and her career as a singer. Nanfeng, who is singing in a nightclub, dresses up blonde as soon as she appears, and a cowgirl dresses up for a while, and often takes the stage as a young lady. But in real life, Nanfeng is a confused girl who dares to hate and love, is unrestrained and sensitive, and hides her sadness in her heart. Director Li Yu particularly emphasized that Bingbing’s own personal experience when she made her debut in the North Drift was quite similar to Nanfeng in the play. Fan Bingbing also found a pair of old military boots that he bought for 60 yuan when he first arrived in Beijing in 1996, and went to the clothing wholesale market frequented by Beipiao to buy some clothes to mix and match. A pair of broken black fishnet socks was deliberately torn by her. To be tough, to be rebellious, you need Fan Bingbing’s wild fashion.

Landmark Feature 2: Youth Rock

    Singing must be wild, drinking must be wild, and the whole atmosphere of the nightclub is rock and roll. Can you imagine the style of Fan Bingbing holding his head up when he sings? Can you imagine Chen Bolin’s desperate and crazy expression when he fights with people? No way, youth is passionate and rock.

Landmark Feature 3: Blue Confusion

    Nightclubs are always confusing, youth under the night is confused, and drifting love is confused. The confused Ding Bo (played by Chen Bolin) will escape the love of Nanfeng (Fan Bingbing) and have an affair with the girl of the "flash encounter" in the nightclub; the confused Nanfeng will pull her beloved Ding Bo to face the roaring train and try to lie on the track and die for love to get out of love. The sky where the fog dissipates is always blue.

China Consumers Association released the list of car complaints last year: Mercedes-Benz BMW Audi was on the list.

Data Map: Visitors to the Auto Show in auto china in 2018 are jostling with each other. China News Service reporter Jia Tianyong photo

  The China Consumers Association released a report on the 11th, saying that the data of automobile complaints accepted by the National Consumers Association in 2018 were analyzed, and it was found that BYD had the largest number of complaints from the top ten brands involved, and the three German luxury car brands Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi were all on the list.

  With the sustained and rapid development of economy and society, the number of cars in China has maintained a rapid growth trend in recent years. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Public Security, the number of cars in China reached 240 million in 2018, an increase of 10.51% over 2017. According to the data released by China Automobile Industry Association, the domestic automobile production and sales in 2018 were 27.809 million and 28.081 million respectively.

  China Consumers Association released the report "Analysis on the Acceptance of Automobile Product Complaints by National Consumers Association in 2018" on the 11th, saying that in 2018, the complaints and consultation information system of National Consumers Association recorded a total of 19,283 complaints about automobile products (including parts), a decrease of 5.8% compared with the previous year.

  According to the report, from the top ten brands involved in complaints, BYD ranks first, followed by Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Buick, Audi, FAW-Volkswagen, Changan Ford, Dongfeng Nissan, SAIC Volkswagen and Dongfeng Honda.

  "The three German luxury car brands Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi are all on the list, which also reflects the upward trend of automobile consumption. This complaint data is absolute, and consumers should consider it comprehensively because of the different sales volume and ownership of each automobile brand. " The report said.

  It is understood that the complaints of all brands are focused on after-sales service, contract and quality. The main problems of after-sales service are non-performance of three-guarantee obligations and non-performance of after-sales commitments. The breach of contract mainly focuses on deposit, and the quality problems are mainly product performance and unqualified products.

  Judging from the specific problems complained, the complaints of TOP 10 brands mainly focus on issues such as deposit, engine, tires, suspected fraud and car paint, and the main problems of each brand are slightly different. Among them, the engine oil problem of Dongfeng Honda is more prominent, and the paint problems of Mercedes-Benz, FAW-Volkswagen, Changan Ford and Audi are relatively high.

  China Consumers Association reminds consumers to pay special attention to the verbal promises of the merchants about refunding the car purchase deposit and insurance deposit during the car purchase process, pay attention to keeping the deposit or deposit receipt, record the verbal promises of the merchants when necessary, and actively strive to sign a paper deposit or deposit refund agreement.

  After the implementation of "Three Guarantees for Cars", consumers should pay attention to keeping the car purchase invoice and the certificate of "Three Guarantees for Cars", which is the basic condition for consumers to use the "Three Guarantees for Cars" to protect their rights. Article 13 of Chapter 4 stipulates: "Repairers should establish and implement the filing system of repair records. Written repair records shall be made in duplicate, one for filing and one for consumers. " Therefore, after each repair, consumers should ask for maintenance invoices from 4S shops or repair shops as evidence for future rights protection.

Deng Jiajia responded to "Empty Weibo" and denied quitting the entertainment circle (Figure)

  BEIJING, Beijing, September 7 (Reporter Zhang Xi) On the 6th, the TV series Angry Heroes was held in Beijing, with director Mao Weining, screenwriter Wang Chenggang, starring Wang Lei, Deng Jiajia, Huo Zhengyan and Jojo all present. For the sudden emptying of Weibo earlier, Deng Jiajia said he was sorry to the fans. "I didn’t expect such a move to bring unnecessary worry to everyone. I haven’t quit the entertainment circle, and my love life is normal. But I think I want to choose a place I like better and then appear again. "

  With the theme of selling drugs to resist Japan, Angry Heroes tells the story of Japanese invaders secretly selling opium in China during the Anti-Japanese War, and encountering the bloody resistance of progressive youths represented by Yuan Shuai (Wang Lei) and Guan Shuang (Deng Jiajia).

  Why do you want to shoot a companion piece of War Youth? Director Mao Weining said, "At that time, I wanted to make a sequel to War Youth, but Wang Yuanke was pregnant, so she changed it into a companion piece, and then continued the hero Wang Lei." The reason why Deng Jiajia was chosen as the heroine, Mao Dao introduced: "They are the feeling of tell it to the judge that we want. Our story happened in Shanghai, and we have to make some differences to maintain the pattern of the last character. Deng Jiajia meets this standard."

  Director Mao Weining has made six works in six years, and the leading actor is Wang Lei. "It’s not because he is familiar, but because he can create better things." This time, Wang Lei changed the impression of rich children in "War of Youth", played a low-level nobody, raised horses in Deng Jiajia’s home and fried fritters in his own home. Moreover, the role he plays is a master of horse racing and martial arts. Wang Lei revealed, "I know a little martial arts, and my parents are martial arts practitioners, and I have learned a little from them." He also stressed that "I am realistic martial arts, not Lei Ju martial arts."

  There is no doubt about the difficulty of shooting war scenes. When shooting, Wang Lei revealed that he had suffered a minor scratch. "Our play is very safe. I once fell off a motorcycle, and the car hit my leg, which just rubbed a little skin. At that time, when I rode to the tenth meter, I was paralyzed, which was a near miss. "

  Wang Lei has shot many war themes before, and impressed the audience. In an interview, he said: "I am not particularly willing to shoot war themes now, but I am familiar with the style of our" Angry Heroes "screenwriter, very humorous, with a good rhythm, and the team is familiar with it, and there is a breakthrough, so there is this cooperation."

  Wang Lei and Deng Jiajia turned into "drug-fighting heroes" in Angry Heroes, which is actually their second collaboration. After "Where is Happiness" in 2013, the two became friends. Deng Jiajia broke the news that Wang Lei, a boy from Dalian, was particularly good at seafood. "Give us good food every day. The best thing is drunk shrimp and drunk crab. "

  Not long ago, Deng Jiajia suddenly emptied Weibo, which aroused warm concern and suspicion. There were even rumors that she would quit the entertainment circle. When asked about this at the press conference, Deng Jiajia replied: "I am not against social networking, but I really want to say sorry to my fans. I didn’t expect such a move to bring unnecessary worry to everyone. I haven’t quit the entertainment circle, and my love life is normal. But I think I want to choose a place I like better in the future. "

  It is reported that Angry Hero will land on Jiangsu Satellite TV at 19:30 on September 7th. (End)

The freshest food in spring is more precious than big fish and meat.

Bud bud, listen

Sell cute again and I’ll eat you!

In spring, everything revives and plants sprout. In Shuo Wen Jie Zi, this "sprout" is "bud". From Saibei to Lingnan, from Shuomo to the seashore, as long as there is a spring breeze, there are traces of "buds". As the initial embryonic form of plant stems, leaves or flowers, "bud" is pregnant with life and hope, and embodies the creation and imagination of nature.

You see, the word "bud" means "grass" with the word "tooth" under it. The ancestors who created the word used the way of knowing and pictophonetic to represent the toothed larvae of vegetation germination. What an image! And spring is the child who "shoots and learns rain". Buds, like green "raindrops", "landed" on the earth before the first spring rain came. Falling on the branches, "splashing" flowers, falling into the mouth, into a series of delicious food.

Spring is really the season to eat buds!

People in China eat buds incompletely, and they are hungry for life.

People in China eat buds, which is the "spring limit" in home cooking.

Spring is always late in Saibei snowfield, but the new green is the first to appear on the plate. The tender thorn buds with soft burrs were blanched by hot water and turned into the "CP" of sauce dish, dumpling stuffing and scrambled eggs … Northeasters eat buds in spring, and what they want is that "thorn" shock.

Thorn bud is the bud of Acanthopanax senticosus. Also called thorn old bud, thorn dragon bud. The bark of Acanthopanax senticosus can be soaked in wine, and the seed is the well-known Schisandra chinensis. The tender thorn bud has high nutritional value and is called "the king of wild vegetables". It is sweet, refreshing and mellow, and has a unique fragrance similar to Toona sinensis bud.

Speaking of Toona sinensis bud, it is the most beautiful spring "top card" in North China and even the whole country. As the tender bud of Toona sinensis, it can be cold-mixed, fried eggs, and even chopped into noodles, so that every "snow strip" is hung with "broken gold" in spring, and its mouth is full of spring.

Toona sinensis bud is a "literary youth" in spring bud. "Zhuangzi’s Happy Travel" said: "In ancient times, there were big toons, taking 8,000 years as spring and 8,000 years as autumn." Modern congratulations to the elderly also say "Chunshou". Taking a bite of Toona sinensis is also blessed by nature with good luck. When I attended the birthday party for my elders, I once ate a "Longevity is better than Nanshan Mountain", which is a rockery made of potato chips and sprinkled with fresh Toona sinensis. The taste is fresh and unforgettable.

There is also a "female literary youth" in the spring bud, that is, Lycium barbarum bud. When I was a child, my relatives had a Lycium barbarum tree. I used to pick fresh Lycium barbarum fruit on it. I watched A Dream of Red Mansions during the holidays, and found that there was a description of Baochai eating fried Lycium barbarum buds, and it was also pestering adults to follow suit and fry a plate. The taste was a little bitter, and it was probably elegant.

Later, when I went to college, Ningxia students also took us to bask in Lycium barbarum buds, and it was quite interesting to boil water to drink. In fact, eating Lycium barbarum buds has a long history in China. In the Ming Dynasty, Xu Guangqi’s "Agricultural Administration Complete Book" said that Lycium barbarum buds "go out of Ganzhou, but they will not be harvested for two years." Wang Zengqi, a writer from Jianghuai, is also in Amway in Eating in My Hometown. The medlar buds are "very fragrant" with soy sauce and vinegar, which makes the medlar buds "salty".

If Lycium barbarum buds eat elegance, then pepper buds make your tongue "win hemp". In Longnan, Gansu province, which is rich in pepper, pepper buds are the "group pets" of home-cooked dining tables and farmhouses. The bright bud tip on the plate, with a touch of pepper and sesame, makes every taste bud "stand up".

Pepper buds can be cold and stir-fried. I once ate a different way of eating: stewed fish with pepper buds, and stewed it together with pepper stalks. The pepper buds are tender and the stalks are soft, which is similar to the taste of reed stalks. If you bite the fibers of the stalks and suck the juice inside, the pepper will smell like Shan Ye. This is also the "dream linkage" of buds and stems on the tip of the tongue.

Spring is the season when catkins fly. In Shandong and Henan, there is also the habit of eating willow buds. Next to the sharp buds of willow leaves, pinch out a small handful, blanch it to remove bitterness, mix it with sesame oil, and put it in a white porcelain plate, which feels like a weak willow supporting the embankment. Pick up a pinch lightly, sip it gently with your tongue, and it will be crisp and rotten.

As a "pancake province" in Shandong, willow buds naturally spread pancakes. Beat two eggs on a pancake covered with broken willow buds, and it will become "two orioles singing green willows". When the egg liquid is evenly spread, the pancake is crisp, the yolk is fragrant, and the willow buds are tender. Under the triple blessing, it seems to swallow the spring day in one gulp. It is said that Tomb-Sweeping Day ate willow bud pancakes to commemorate Jietui. According to legend, the old willow tree that he held a tree to celebrate the festival later came back from the dead and was named "Qingming Willow" by Jin Wengong. From this point of view, there are cultural similarities between Liu Ya Pancake and Youth League in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

In Guangdong, which pays attention to health, mulberry buds must be eaten in spring. The lavender mulberry buds and lanterns-like mulberries set each other off and become interesting, and mulberry bud is as soft as mulberries, which melts in the mouth, tender and slag-free. I once ate a cold mulberry bud in a restaurant in Guangdong, surrounded by a circle of mulberries and purple fruit buds, adding softness to the softness, giving the beauty of spring an image.

Guangdong locals will also use mulberry buds to make sliced meat soup, which is also smooth, tender and fragrant. Pink pieces of meat wrapped in glutinous rice are "dead" in mulberry bud, like the cartoon "Ha ha Jing Hua Yuan" (adapted from Li Ruzhen’s novel in the late Qing Dynasty) that I watched when I was very young, and the scene of a silkworm girl lying drunk on mulberry leaves in the silk country.

The story background of "Jing Hua Yuan" took place in the Tang Dynasty. There is a "Dahuanguo" in the legendary biography of Nan Ke Taishou, which is an ant hill under a locust tree. In reality, the buds of Sophora japonica are really edible, and they are very common in Shaanxi. The buds of Sophora japonica are slightly bitter, not as sweet as Sophora japonica. They can be served cold or fried, but they are slightly toxic. You should not overeat because of your appetite.

However, the Tang Dynasty gourmets more than 1000 years ago didn’t think so much. When Li Gongzuo wrote the biography of the satrap of Nanke, he should have eaten a lot of Sophora japonica buds before he had a dream of Nanke. Otherwise, how could there be a magical imagination of "enjoying a great country in Huai"? Although Sophora bud is a "spring-limited" side dish of human beings, it is indeed a feast for small ants!

People in China eat buds in spring. Where are the most exotic food customs?

In spring, the sprouts in the home-cooked dishes are full of freshness, which also solves the trouble of "lack of appetite in spring and autumn". In some places, the buds can not only stimulate your appetite, but also refresh your spirit. It seems to remind you that spring is coming!

I have eaten mango buds in Yunnan. Just picked from the tree, sour green mango buds, simply cut a few petals and mix them with heavy spices such as Chili powder and garlic paste, which makes your taste buds bloom first. Once the acid enters the soul, it stays between the teeth, and spring can be so vigorous.

In Guizhou, which is adjacent to Yunnan, eating buds is a "knife edge licking blood". In Pu ‘an, Guizhou, there is a poisonous Polygonum multiflorum Thunb, but the tender bud is a local delicacy. For local people, eating Polygonum multiflorum buds is as common as eating Toona sinensis buds. The cold Polygonum multiflorum buds in the small restaurant are the "hard currency" on the tip of the tongue in spring.

In Guangdong and Guangxi, bud and wenwan can also be related. The sandalwood with a string of hands can also be "coiled" on the tip of the tongue. Sandalwood buds are slightly bitter, so they should not be eaten raw directly. They need to be blanched with hot water, and then added with oil and salt for cold salad or stir-frying. The buds of the sandalwood tree are tender and smooth, which seems to coat the tip of the tongue with a layer of "patina" when eating.

Sandalwood buds can be eaten, and the "neighbors" of sandalwood trees also have something to say. There is a tree in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, which appears in the Book of Songs together with the sandalwood tree: "There is a sandalwood tree, and its lower dimension is slim." This "peach" is also called "peach", and the scientific name is Broussonetia papyrifera. When the buds grow to the length of the little finger, it is the best time to enjoy the taste. As soon as the hot water is boiled, it will not lose its fragrance. When it is wrapped in flour and steamed in the pot, the children next door will cry. Broussonetia papyrifera shoots have a high appearance rate in the Book of Songs. "Yellow birds and yellow birds are not gathered in Yi", which means the "spring outing picnic" of yellow birds on Broussonetia papyrifera.

In Tongchuan, Shaanxi Province, in spring, the cypress trees all over the mountains spread branches like "Panlong", and the green "Long Lin" on it is the cypress bud called "tender and pretty bud" by the locals. This kind of magical bud, which looks like a myth from Game of Thrones, is a local specialty dish, even included in the Herbal Medicine for the Relief of Famine in Yongle period of Ming Dynasty. Longbai buds can be stewed, fried, steamed and mixed, and can be made into cans to permanently "seal" the perishable spring scenery.

In Henan province, a kind of lilac strip-shaped floret is often opened in the wild and on the roadside, and its leaves are a bit like dandelion leaves, so it is also named echinacea. Its tender buds can also be eaten, called thorn buds, and its scientific name is thistle. Fresh spiny buds can be eaten without blanching, and the cool taste is a bit special, and the taste is quite like "dark drink" black pine root beer.

In my hometown, Heilongjiang, there is a kind of Artemisia bud growing in the Daur nationality gathering area. Although it bears the word willow, it has nothing to do with willow. This kind of fresh bud can be dipped in sauce and mixed with cold dishes, while the dried Artemisia buds can stew fish. I used to be a guest at a friend’s house of Daur nationality. The secret of their delicious pot-stewed river fish is to put dried tarragon buds into the pot when using it.

Stewed spareribs with Artemisia argyrophylla with Daur characteristics are simple and bold.

The Daur language of Artemisia scoparia is called "Kumule". The Daur people also have the "Kumule Festival", which specially set up a festival for Artemisia annua, because it is said that Artemisia annua helped Daur ancestors through the famine years. As far away as the snow country in Saibei, the Artemisia selengensis bud has also had a dream linkage with the lush south of the Yangtze River. According to historians’ research, Su Dongpo’s "Artemisia selengensis" is the "Artemisia selengensis" in the puffer fish’s desire to go up, which is Artemisia selengensis bud. The ancestors of ancient Yue, Jiangsu and Zhejiang also used Artemisia selengensis bud to detoxify puffer fish. If Su Dongpo knew that Daur people thousands of miles away stewed river fish with Artemisia buds, what kind of poem would Su Dongpo write?

China people’s survival wisdom is concentrated in the dishes made by Bud Bud.

If the survival laws of nature are concentrated in buds, then the survival wisdom of China people is concentrated in the dishes made of buds. Take the most common bean sprouts as an example, there are also different "genres" such as mung bean sprouts, soybean sprouts, pea sprouts and black bean sprouts.

Bean sprouts: Give me some color and give you a delicious meal.

Black bean sprouts are "heterogeneous" in bean sprouts, and there is even a "dark dish" of "black bean sprouts and sauerkraut stewed with blood sausage" in Northeast China. I once ate it in middle school. Needless to say, the thick sauerkraut and the bloody sausage were really endowed with the finishing touch by the crisp and fresh black bean sprouts.

In Jingmai Mountain, Yunnan, one of the tea tree hometowns in China, there is a tradition of eating tea tree buds directly. On the tea mountain in the spring night, the lush tea forest is like a miniature universe, each tea tree is like a "space station" and the tea bud is like a pocket-sized "space shuttle". The locals directly fry the eggs with tea buds. When the golden eggs are spread out, it is the "space shuttle" version of tea buds "flying over the solar system".

Along the land of China, we can also eat peanut bud in Jiangxi, walnut buds in Gansu, alfalfa buds in Gansu, poplar buds in Henan, cattail buds in Shandong, magnolia buds in Beijing, buckwheat buds in Shanxi, radish buds in Anhui, Rhus chinensis buds in Guangxi, and twin buds in Yunnan …

China people eat buds, eat fresh fireworks in spring, and eat a portrait of their hometown. One bud after another makes spring returns, and one bud after another makes people full of vitality. However, the practice of budding or homely or novel also reflects the simple but vigorous creativity of China people.

Every slender bud is a beautiful stroke. People use plates as manuscript paper and "read" it in spring gourmet prose …

Musk, the richest man in the world: Being fool in love in the love affair with "Crazy Beauty" Amber.

The women that Musk, the richest man in the world, likes all have the same characteristics, they are beautiful and have high IQ.

Amber Heard, a Hollywood actress, has a perfect face, stunning appearance, clean and cold temperament, and a bit like a girl next door.

Musk couldn’t resist such a beauty and plunged into the love affair with Amber.

He only saw the beauty of Amber, but he didn’t know there was a crazy soul under the beautiful skin.

Amber is a typical crazy beauty, which makes him eat up the pain of love.

In 2013, Musk met Amber. At that time, he had the idea of pursuing beauty and invited each other to dinner.

At that time, Amber and Johnny Depp were madly in love and didn’t pay any attention to him at all.

Depp, who starred in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, became the top stream in Hollywood and got the title of captain.

Amber and Depp got married in 2015, and after only one year of marriage, they got divorced.

Amber looks like a girl next door on the surface, quiet and beautiful, but in reality it’s crazy.

In terms of feelings, it is not uncommon for her to eat for all ages, for both men and women, and for her to tread more than one boat.

When Amber and Depp divorced, they were accused of excreting in his bed.

I should know something about Amber’s crazy Musk, which didn’t scare him off.

These are not problems for him, but a little crazy can be used as a substitute for life and make life more interesting.

When he entered this relationship, he found that Amber’s madness far exceeded his imagination and brought him great pain.

When Amber and Depp divorced, they walked down the red carpet once and met Musk by chance.

Seeing that Amber was alone, Musk took the initiative to go forward and ask questions.

In this chat, the two exchanged contact information, and Musk began to pursue Amber.

Musk’s way of pursuing beauty is as domineering as the president in Ba Zong’s novel.

Amber complained to him that Depp had domestic violence.

This aroused his strong desire for protection and provided her with 24-hour uninterrupted security service.

As a science and technology madman, he thinks it’s romantic to show someone he likes high technology.

He took Amber to the launch site of Rocket Falcon 9.

Musk successfully caught up with the goddess in his heart.

There are also many happy and sweet moments between them.

Have dinner together happily, walk hand in hand in the street, kiss and hug in public.

In order to make Musk happy, Amber tailored the costume for him.

Happy moments are just embellishments, and the main tone of this relationship is black and violent.

No one knows what Amber thinks in her heart. In this relationship, she especially likes to create chaos and sabotage.

She and Musk often quarreled, and they quarreled all night and endlessly.

Such a day is a kind of torture for each other.

There is love between the two people, and they torture each other, sometimes breaking up and sometimes getting back together.

Musk said that Amber broke up more times than he did.

He really loves Amber.

He is reluctant to leave each other, but it is very painful to be together. This relationship makes him feel "too cruel".

Musk’s relatives and friends don’t like this tossing Amber, saying that she is the most unbearable of all Musk’s girlfriends.

Musk’s younger brother thinks that this woman is "too poisonous", which makes his brother suffer greatly but can’t stop.

This relationship is also quite strong.

The two broke up after dating for more than a year.

After breaking up, Musk often locked himself in a dark room, and the whole person seemed to be in a coma.

This situation lasted for a year and a half.

When Musk told others about his feelings during that time, he said that it was the most painful moment in his life, which was unbelievable.

When the relationship is over, Musk still can’t forget Amber. When he meets the opportunity, he will come to a hero to save the beauty.

After Amber played Hai in Warner’s Neptune, the film received a good response.

The divorce case between Amber and Depp was raging and their reputation was greatly affected.

In 2021, when Warner filmed Aquaman 2, it didn’t want to use Amber any more for fear of affecting the box office.

As the ex-boyfriend of Amber, Musk was very dissatisfied after hearing about it and gave a letter to the film producer.

The general meaning of the letter is that if Amber is not allowed to participate in the filming of the sequel to Neptune, he will burn down the house.

Who is not afraid of the threat of the world’s richest man and scientific genius, Musk has this ability.

So, people saw Amber again in Aquaman 2.

When Musk’s biographer asked him why he fell in love with a woman who was "mean" to him, he replied that he was a fool in love.

Extreme success must be accompanied by extreme personality.

Musk has indeed achieved extreme success in his career and technology. Of course, his personality is also extreme in some aspects.

I often do something that looks silly in love. If I don’t have the aura of the richest man, I will be really stupid in people’s eyes.
