Modern people receive a lot of news every day, and news notices, commodity advertisements and message reminders are full of notice columns, so it is easy to ignore or miss valuable news. Based on this, HarmonyOS 4 visually optimizes the notification center, making the information structure clearer and the priorities clear at a glance. The newly added live window can present the real-time status of the application at any time, and bring a complete and continuous and efficient experience to users through two forms of capsules and cards. For example, for take-away applications, the status of "eating, picking up and delivering" can be displayed in real time, avoiding the notification screen, and allowing users to obtain information efficiently and intuitively.

On the smart watch side, the crescent moon window designed in combination with the watch shape can surround the check-in counter, take-out process, travel license plate number and other information at the upper right of the dial through a strong reminder, so that users can get important information by raising their hands.

Users can also slide right into the negative screen on the desktop of mobile phones and tablets to view more real-time service status, which is more convenient and efficient.

The universal card has always been the most efficient interactive way for HarmonyOS to obtain information and services. Users can see the instantly refreshed service information on the card, such as hot information and food list. With the participation of more and more eco-partners, HarmonyOS provides more and more universal cards to users, especially news and information, convenient life, travel and other categories, and the service is more and more convenient.

HarmonyOS not only has such an efficient information processing method as universal card, but also has the important ability of cross-end circulation.

The efficient flow of information has been further strengthened in HarmonyOS 4. The super transfer station supports more applications and scenarios, and adds practical functions such as file preview and clipboard historical content query to help users collect fragmented information better. Not only mobile phones, but also super transfer stations support tablets and PCs, making cross-device sharing very convenient.

How to improve the battery life of Huawei’s HarmonyOS system mobile phone How to improve the battery life of Huawei’s HarmonyOS system mobile phone [detailed explanation]

  HarmonyOS system was introduced by Huawei, and many friends have updated their experience. Dear friends may not know how to improve the battery life of Huawei HarmonyOS system mobile phones. Xiaobian is very happy to solve this problem for everyone, and then I will provide you with an analysis of the method of improving battery life. Xiaobian hopes that this method can help you.

  1. After upgrading, the equipment with fast power consumption needs to be "digested"

  After the upgrade, some self-optimization and adaptation actions of the system may lead to the machine heating and fast power consumption. It is safe to use it, and it will recover itself after a period of time. It is recommended to charge for more than one hour during the idle time, and the system will be optimized once during the charging period to ensure the rapid adaptation of mobile phone applications.

  2. Self-starting management is unnecessary and not self-starting.

  Self-startup is allowed by default after the application is installed. If there are many self-startup applications, they will also consume power when running in the background, and unnecessary applications can be turned off for self-startup to extend battery life.

  Set the path: enter the mobile phone housekeeper APP→ Application startup management → Turn off all automatic management, only set the necessary applications as automatic management, such as instant messaging applications, mail applications, etc., and other non-essential applications are not allowed to have background activities.

  3. Turn on the off-screen display and touch display mode.

  Touch display mode means that the off-screen pattern will be displayed only after touching the screen. Compared with turning on the off-screen display all day, the battery life will be correspondingly increased under touch display. The opening method of touch display mode: setting → Desktop and wallpaper → Off-screen display → Display mode → Touch the display.

  4, low battery mode to extend the battery life.

  When the power of your equipment is low and there is no way to replenish it in time, you can start the low power mode (or power saving mode), and the system will automatically optimize the operation and extend the battery life of the equipment.

  Opening method of low battery mode (or power saving mode): Set → Battery → Low battery mode (or power saving mode).

How does the change of supply and demand in palm oil market affect futures value? What are the rules for these changes?

Palm oil, as one of the most important edible oils in the world, its market supply and demand changes have a far-reaching impact on the futures value. It is very important for investors and market analysts to understand these changes and their laws.

First of all, the supply of palm oil mainly depends on Southeast Asia, especially Malaysia and Indonesia. Palm oil production in these two countries accounts for more than 80% of the global total. Therefore, any factors that affect the production capacity of these two countries, such as climate change, policy adjustment or labor market fluctuation, will directly affect the supply of palm oil. For example, extreme weather conditions such as drought or flood may lead to a decline in production, thus pushing up palm oil futures prices.

Secondly, on the demand side, palm oil is widely used in food processing, biofuels and cosmetics. Global economic growth, population growth and changes in consumer preferences will all affect the demand for palm oil. For example, with the increasing global demand for renewable energy, the demand for palm oil in biodiesel production is also rising. This increase in demand usually pushes up the price of palm oil futures.

The impact of supply and demand changes on the futures value of palm oil can be displayed more intuitively in the following table:

factor Supply impact Demand influence Futures value change climate change reduction of production No direct influence rise Policy adjustment Production restriction increase in demand rise economic growth No direct influence increase in demand rise consumer preference No direct influence Demand change wave

In addition, the supply and demand changes of palm oil market still have certain seasonal laws. For example, November to February is the peak of palm oil production, because this period is the rainy season in Southeast Asia, which is conducive to the growth of palm fruit. On the contrary, June to August every year is the low yield period, because this period is the dry season, which is not conducive to the growth of palm fruit. This seasonal change will also lead to periodic fluctuations in palm oil futures prices.

Finally, global trade policies and geopolitical factors will also have a significant impact on the palm oil market. For example, the adjustment of tariffs, the change of trade agreements or the political instability of major producing countries may all lead to the imbalance between supply and demand in the market, thus affecting futures prices. Therefore, investors need to comprehensively consider these macroeconomic and political factors when analyzing the palm oil futures market.

In a word, the change of supply and demand in palm oil market is a complex and multi-factor driven process. Through in-depth analysis of these changes and their laws, investors can better grasp the market dynamics and make more wise investment decisions.

His net worth has shrunk by 200 billion. How does "Mr. Twitter" Musk tell the Tesla story well?

Author | Wang Yajun  

Cover Source | Douban Entry  

On January 26th, Beijing time, Tesla released the latest financial report: in the fourth quarter of 2022 (hereinafter referred to as Q4), the revenue increased by 37% year-on-year to US$ 24.318 billion, and the net profit increased by 59% year-on-year to US$ 3.687 billion, both hitting record highs and exceeding market expectations.  

During the period, Tesla’s vehicle production and delivery both reached new highs: Q4 produced 439,701 vehicles and delivered 405,278 vehicles, up 44% and 31% respectively.  

On the first trading day after the financial report was released, Tesla closed up nearly 11% and its market value returned to 500 billion US dollars.  

DanielIves, a well-known Tesla bull and Wedbush analyst, believes that Q4 in 2022 will be "one of the most important financial reports in Tesla’s history" because its dominant position in the electric vehicle market is facing new resistance in the past few years.  

Before the financial report was released, Tesla took the lead in the unprecedented price reduction promotion in the domestic market on January 6, and then spread the price war to the United States, Europe and other places. Musk said in the earnings conference call that he saw the strongest order in Tesla’s history in January, and the current number of orders is almost twice the production capacity.  

In 2023, Tesla gave a delivery target of 1.8 million vehicles in the financial report, an increase of 37% compared with 2022, which was lower than the previously set long-term target (an annual increase of 50%). However, Musk is also optimistic that if there is no external interference, 2 million cars may be produced and sold in 2023.  

The price of cars has dropped, but the growth rate of delivery has slowed down.  

In Q4 of 2022, Tesla, the "price butcher", once again showed the cutting edge of price reduction.  

Since October, 2022, Tesla has successively reduced prices in China and North America. Musk’s goal is to sell all the cars produced in Q4 that year and usher in an "epic year-end".  

However, due to the small price reduction, the effect of exchanging price for quantity is not satisfactory. Tesla delivered a total of 405,300 vehicles in Q4, with a year-on-year growth rate slowing from 71% in the same period of last year to 31%, and a year-on-year revenue growth rate of 37%, a record low in the past two years. MarkDelaney, an analyst at Goldman Sachs, believes that Q4′ s delivery data is "an increasing negative factor".  

 In Q4 last year, Tesla’s output exceeded the delivery by 34,423 vehicles, and the annual difference was 55,769 vehicles. In 2022, Tesla delivered a total of 1,313,800 vehicles, which failed to reach the annual target (1,404,100 vehicles), and the throne of the annual new energy vehicle sales crown was also taken away by BYD.  

As the most profitable new energy vehicle company in the world, Tesla’s net profit growth rate slowed down obviously in Q4 last year, even less than Q2, which was affected by epidemic and supply chain.  

The price reduction promotion also lowered the gross profit margin. Tesla Q4′ s gross profit margin was 23.8%, down 3.6 percentage points from the same period of last year and 1.3 percentage points from the previous month, hitting a new low in nearly seven quarters.  

  In the face of the decline in profitability brought about by price cuts, Musk believes that Tesla can get compensation from autonomous driving.  

In a Twitter space discussion at the end of 2022, Musk said that the value of a car that can drive automatically is much higher than that of a non-self-driving car. Even if the profit margin is extremely low when selling a car, it can be upgraded to automatic driving. It can bring a lot of income. "Only Tesla can do this."  

FSD(FullSelf-Drive) brought Tesla $324 million in revenue in Q4. Tesla has released a beta version of FSD to almost all customers in North America, and the number is about 400,000.  

In addition to the slowdown in growth and the decline in gross profit margin, Musk, as the soul of Tesla, was also distracted by Twitter.  

Musk proposed to acquire Twitter in April 2022 and entered the company in October. After the acquisition, Musk reduced his holdings of Tesla shares worth nearly $23 billion. KoGuanLeo, the third largest individual shareholder of Tesla, said that Musk gave up Tesla and Tesla had no CEO.  

The cold winter of Q4, together with Twitter nightmare, has impacted Tesla’s market value and Musk’s net worth. As of the close of the last trading day in 2022, Tesla’s share price fell by more than 50% in the fourth quarter. Affected by this, Musk became the first rich man in history to lose $200 billion.  

  

Weakened first-Mover advantage  

Behind the slowdown in delivery, revenue and net profit growth is Tesla’s insufficient demand challenge in Q4. According to the financial report, Tesla Q4′ s global inventory supply days reached 13 days, up 225% year-on-year, the highest in the whole year.  

Bernstein, an American investment research institute, said that the price reduction of Tesla’s promotion in China and the United States in 2022 means that Tesla may have a demand problem.  

The long gap period of models is one of the important reasons for the decline in Tesla demand. In 2022, the combined delivery of Model3 and ModelY accounted for 94.92% of Tesla’s total annual delivery, but the release time of these two models should be traced back to 2016 and 2019 respectively.  

Merrill Lynch once predicted in a report that by 2025, Tesla’s American electric vehicle market share will drop from the current 70% to 11%, because Tesla did not expand its product portfolio quickly enough, while traditional car manufacturers and new forces making cars are improving their product lineup. Standard & Poor’s Global Mobile also believes that although Tesla is still the best-selling electric vehicle brand in the United States, its competitors are launching more and more affordable models, and Tesla’s dominant position in the electric vehicle market is being weakened.  

During the gap period of Tesla models, the pattern of new energy vehicle market in China has also changed greatly. According to the data of the Association, the market share of BYD’s new energy passenger cars increased from 19.5% in 2021 to 31.7% in 2022. In the same period, Tesla decreased from 10.7% to 7.8%. Wei Xiaoli also broke through the annual delivery of 100,000 vehicles in 2022, and plans to launch more models.  

 

At the same time, Tesla’s technological aura is gradually eclipsing.  

Tesla’s brand power is centered on the exploration and landing of new technologies, especially the combination with FSD. Musk also predicted that "autopilot software will become Tesla’s most important profit point", but FSD has never achieved true full autopilot. According to the calculation of CITIC Securities, from 2019 to 2021, the revenue of FSD accounted for 3.4%, 2.8% and 1.7% respectively.  

Will the price war last?  

At the beginning of 2023, Tesla cut prices sharply on a global scale.  

On January 6th, all the models on sale in Tesla China market were reduced in price, with a drop of 20,000 ~ 48,000 yuan, and the promotion was unprecedented. The following week, Tesla spread the bonfire of price war to Japan, South Korea, North America, Europe and other places.  

Price reduction is a double-edged sword. Daniel, the aforementioned Wade Bush analyst, believes that Tesla’s price reduction may increase the global delivery this year by 12% ~ 15%. Deutsche Bank predicts that Tesla’s gross profit margin will drop by 3 percentage points in 2023 compared with 2022.  

At the earnings conference call, Tesla did not release the expectation of continuing to exchange prices. Musk said that Tesla raised the price slightly because the demand after the price reduction far exceeded the output. On January 24, Tesla raised the price of the ModelY dual-motor all-wheel drive model sold in the United States by $500. Tesla CFOZachKirkhorn also said in the earnings conference call that the gross profit margin of automobiles will be higher than 20% this year.  

Tesla’s price reduction action is bound to cause a rebound of competitors. Haitong Securities believes that Tesla will increase market sales by reducing prices, announcing that the electric vehicle industry will officially enter fierce competition in 2023, and global car companies will face great pressure to compete head-on.  

On January 13, AITO asked the community to announce that the price of some of its models would be lowered by 28,800 ~ 30,000 yuan. On January 17th, Xpeng Motors, which is still at a loss, announced that it would adjust the price of its G3i/P5/P7 models, with an overall decrease of 20,000 ~ 36,000 yuan.  

The day after the official announcement of price reduction, He Xiaopeng, chairman of Xpeng Motors, said at the annual summary meeting, "Either you are brilliant enough with everyone, or you will die with a bang".  

BYD, which did not follow the price cut, launched a million-class luxury car the day before Tesla’s domestic price cut in an attempt to get more cakes in the high-end market.  

In the face of rivals who are chasing after each other step by step, Tesla urgently needs to find new sales growth points.  

FranzvonHolzhausen, chief designer of Tesla, said on January 16th that Cybertruck, a pure electric pickup truck, had finished the design and was ready to put into production. The market generally believes that if Cybertruck can be listed as scheduled, it will become a new growth point for Tesla in the North American market in 2023.

 Musk said in the earnings conference call that Cyberruck may start production in the summer of 2023, but the real mass production work will begin in 2024, and Cyberruck’s contribution to profits will not be great this year.  

Cheap models are another sales growth point besides Cybertruck. Musk predicts that the cost of the next-generation car platform will be half that of the second-generation platforms (Model3 and ModelY), and its output may be higher than the sum of all the company’s current products.  

Tesla said in Q4 financial report that more details of the next-generation car platform will be released on March 1, 2023, Investor Day. Analysts of venture capital firm LoupVentures believe that Tesla’s affordable model Model2 will not be launched until 2024.  

In addition, Tesla has to consider the impact of the macro environment.  

In a Twitter discussion at the end of 2022, Musk believed that the severity of the economic recession in 2023 was equivalent to that in 2009, which would affect the demand for automobiles and lead to an increase in the consumption cost of automobiles. However, in the earnings conference call, Musk also said that the economic recession will reduce Tesla’s costs, which in turn will bring higher profit margins. However, he stressed that this was only his guess.  

Twitter is also a variable that Tesla will face this year. In December 2022, Musk launched a vote on whether he should step down as CEO of Twitter. 57.5% of users thought he should resign, but Musk still serves as CEO of Twitter.  

In the earnings conference call, Musk "showed off" his Twitter account with 127 million fans, and said that Twitter created demand for Tesla. At present, Musk has renamed his Twitter account "Mr. Twitter".  

Competition in the industry has intensified and the first-Mover advantage has diminished. In 2023, Tesla will still face severe challenges.

Harbin announced eight major counterfeiting cases in 2008: 47 people fled to 9 provinces to sell counterfeit drugs.

  In 2008, the Economic Investigation Detachment of Harbin Public Security Bureau cracked 15 criminal cases of making and selling fake goods, involving food, medicine, tobacco and alcohol, invoices and other fields, involving more than 40 million yuan, and arrested more than 40 suspects.


  On March 11th, the Economic Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau announced eight typical cases of counterfeiting.


  Case 1: Producing counterfeit drugs and selling them everywhere.


  In 2008, a large team of Economic Investigation Detachment of Harbin Public Security Bureau found a criminal clue involving counterfeiting registered trademarks, producing and selling counterfeit drugs. After investigation, it found a large criminal gang consisting of 47 suspects involving 13 cities in 9 provinces across the country.


  In August 2006, the suspect Chen Yumin went to Anyang City, Henan Province to find Shen Haijun, a counterfeit drug dealer. The two sides agreed that Chen Yumin would provide raw materials and Shen would be responsible for finding someone to make counterfeit drugs. Shen found Huang to process 400 fake three-refined Sloping at the price of 500 yuan per piece (box). After receiving this batch of counterfeit drugs, Chen Yumin sold them to Shenzhen and Taihe County of Anhui Province successively through Wu Mou, Yunnan salesman of Sanjing Heihe Pharmaceutical Company.


  From June 2007 to January this year, Shen Haijun bought 42 pieces of amoxicillin capsules and 63 pieces of cefalexin from Wang, a native of Henan Province, and sold them to Wu Yulong at a higher price in 100 yuan. Wu Yulong sold them to Shao Huiling at a price of 1,500 yuan each, and Shao Huiling sold the fake amoxicillin to Xu Shoucai of Ankang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. in Heilongjiang Province. Xu Shoucai has been distributed to other pharmaceutical companies or retail pharmacies for 19 times.


  After investigation, Wu Yulong sold 105 boxes of cefalexin tablets and amoxicillin capsules from Harbin Pharmaceutical Group Pharmaceutical Factory to Heilongjiang Ankang Pharmaceutical Company in the name of Heilongjiang Wuxing Pharmaceutical Company. Ankang pharmaceutical company distributed 85.5 boxes to 19 pharmaceutical companies or pharmacies inside and outside the province in 30 times. At present, the stocks of counterfeit drugs in pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies all over the province have been basically recovered. On January 19th, 2008, the police will destroy 8 fake dens and seize 1.97 million counterfeit drugs (sticks and bottles) and more than 400,000 counterfeit trademarks.


  Case 2: counterfeit money is hidden in the tea parcel


  At 17: 00 on November 2, 2008, the investigators of the Second Brigade of the Municipal Economic Investigation Detachment got a clue: Wang Jiale, Yunfu City, Guangdong Province mailed a bag of three boxes of tea to Harbin, which contained forged RMB 5,000. The recipient was Yue from Wangshengbiao Store, Yongyuan Town, Daowai District, Harbin.


  On November 3, 2008, investigators arrested Zhou Xilong, a man who came to collect the parcel. He confessed the criminal fact of buying counterfeit money from Guangdong through SMS. After careful inspection by investigators, it was found that all the fake RMB hidden in the tea box was in 20 yuan face value, totaling 4,980 yuan. On November 3, 2008, the suspect Zhou Xilong was criminally detained on suspicion of buying counterfeit money. Now the case has been investigated and transferred for review and prosecution.


  Case 3: More than 10,000 counterfeit coins are hidden in cigarettes.


  At 16: 00 on October 13th, 2008, the investigators of the Second Brigade of the Municipal Economic Investigation Detachment received a report: a bag marked as two cigarettes was sent to Harbin by PG One in the Golden Wheel Parking Lot of Shatai Road, Guangzhou, containing forged more than 10,000 yuan. The investigator immediately rushed to the post office to find the email, and learned that the recipient was Huang, the Xinfa Telephone Branch of Netcom Company in Xinfa Town, Daoli District.


  On the morning of October 14th, the investigator took control of Huang, who had just received the email, and immediately reviewed it. Huang said: This email was received on behalf of his comrade Luo Xiyu. After careful examination of the mail, it was found that the fake RMB hidden in cigarettes totaled 12,000 yuan, including 200 in 50 yuan and 100 in 20 yuan.


  The investigators continued to fight and soon captured the suspect Luo Xiyu. Luo Xiyu confessed that 12,000 yuan of fake RMB was bought with 1,900 yuan. On October 14th, 2008, Luo Xiyu was criminally detained on suspicion of buying counterfeit money.


  Case 4: A "green arrow" was built in the rental house.


  On January 23, 2008, Wrigley Candy (China) Co., Ltd. entrusted Beijing Jiayifeng Business Consulting Co., Ltd. to report to Harbin Economic Investigation Detachment that Guo Lirong, a criminal suspect, organized personnel to produce and sell counterfeit company’s "Green Arrow" chewing gum at No.27, Da Crystal Street, Daowai District, Harbin, with a daily shipment of about 20 boxes, each worth RMB 1,260.


  On January 25, the police arrested eight suspects, including Guo Lirong. After investigation, Guo Lirong, a criminal suspect, purchased the outer packaging and anti-counterfeiting labels of Green Arrow chewing gum from Fujian and Shandong provinces from February 2007 to January 2008, and purchased sugar tablets from Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province, and organized personnel to produce and sell counterfeit "Green Arrow" chewing gum in the rented house at No.27, Da Crystal Street, Daowai District, with a total sales of more than 600,000 yuan.

Guangdong police destroyed a criminal gang that polluted the environment, involving more than 60 million yuan and illegally disposing of more than 30 thousand tons of dangerous waste engine oil.

Recently, under the command and coordination of the Provincial Public Security Department and with the support of the environmental protection department, Zhuhai police, in conjunction with police in many places, launched a simultaneous network-closing operation, which destroyed the "1.29" criminal gang led by Zhang Mokun in one fell swoop, arrested more than 120 criminal suspects, found 9 oil storage points, and seized 39 vehicles, 62 oil drums, more than 100 boxes of used engine oil and 61 tons of used engine oil substances used for illegal transportation, storage and disposal.

  At the beginning of this year, Zhuhai police found that a man surnamed Zhang organized illegal recycling and resale of waste engine oil in Zhuhai, Zhongshan, Jiangmen and Shenzhen. After investigation, since the end of 2015, Zhang Mokun organized relatives, fellow villagers and others to illegally purchase waste engine oil, and after centralized storage, sedimentation and filtration, they sold it again, illegally disposing of more than 30,000 tons of hazardous waste waste engine oil, involving more than 60 million yuan. There are strict laws and regulations on the recovery and disposal of waste engine oil, and only units with the qualification of hazardous waste management can recover and dispose of it. Zhang Mokun and others do not have the qualification conditions, and their behavior poses a great threat to the public safety and environmental safety of our province. On the 12th, Zhuhai, together with the police in Shenzhen, Shantou, Zhongshan, Jiangmen and other places, launched a simultaneous network-closing operation and successfully destroyed the criminal gang.

Georgia says it has opened fire on "Russian warplanes" that intruded into its airspace.

     

    [Content at a glance]A spokesman for the Georgian Ministry of the Interior said, "At 22: 24 on the 22nd, the Georgian military opened fire on the invading Russian warplanes over Abkhazia." The invasion was detected by Georgian military radar and civil aviation system, which was the ninth such incident in three months.






    On August 6, Georgia accused Russian warplanes of launching missiles into its territory. The picture shows Georgia detonating missiles.


    BEIJING, Aug. 25 (Xinhua)-According to a comprehensive report, an official of Georgia’s Ministry of the Interior said on the 24th that "when Russian fighters invaded Georgia’s airspace again a few days ago, the Georgian military finally chose to fire at Russian fighters to fight back". Local residents reported that they then heard a violent explosion and found the nearby forest on fire.


    "At 22: 24 the day before yesterday (22nd), the Georgian military opened fire on the invading Russian warplanes over Abkhazia," Sota-Utiavini, spokesman of the Georgian Ministry of Interior, said in an interview. Sota-Utiavini also said that shortly after the Georgian military opened fire, local residents reported that they heard a violent explosion and saw the forest burning. But as of now, Georgian officials are still not sure whether the fighter plane has crashed.


    Teglia, Deputy Minister of Defense of Georgia, also told reporters that it was probably a modified Soviet fighter that invaded Georgia’s airspace. Both the military radar and the civil aviation system monitored the invasion, and it was the ninth such incident in three months. "The Ministry of National Defense does not rule out that such frequent violations of Georgian airspace are related to Russian reconnaissance activities or represent a provocation." KuTeglia said that after the invasion, Georgian air defense system detected that a Russian plane violated its border twice and flew over Upper Abkhazia (Kodori Gorge), and the speed of the plane was 470-490 kilometers per hour. At present, Georgia has sent a note to the Russian Foreign Ministry, demanding that they must immediately give a clear explanation about the violation of the country’s airspace by a Russian plane. Russia immediately responded to Georgia’s allegations. Colonel Alexander Drobyshevski, spokesman of the Russian Air Force, said: "Russian Air Force aircraft did not fly along the Georgian border that day, and Russian aircraft did not violate Georgian airspace."


    Rubani Rasjain, an expert on Russian issues at George Washington University in the United States, believes that the Abkhazia region involved in the new round of war of words between Georgia and Russia is an old problem between the two countries. On the surface and legally, Abkhazia is a part of Georgia, but Georgia’s sovereignty does not actually extend to this area from the Psou River to the Inguri River. This autonomous Republic has not been recognized by the international community since it declared "independence" in 1992, but it is closely related to Russia. It was not until July 2006 that the Georgian central government took control of the Kodori Gorge near Abkhazia. South Ossetia is an autonomous prefecture of Georgia, bordering on North Ossetia, Russia. After the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, South Ossetia demanded to merge with North Ossetia in Russia and establish an independent republic. This led to a sharp deterioration of the contradiction between the Georgian central government and the local authorities in South Ossetia, and a large-scale armed conflict broke out. Due to the close relationship between South Ossetia authorities and Russia, Georgia often accuses Russia of secretly providing military and economic assistance to South Ossetia, which has also seriously affected the relations between the two countries.


    Georgian officials once again accused Russian fighter planes of throwing a missile near South Ossetia, which landed in front of a house in the village of Chedrubani, but did not explode. The Georgian side said that it found the unexploded missile in a vegetable field near the village of Tete rubani, 65km northwest of the Georgian capital Tbilisi. The missile incident has once again strained the relations between Georgia and Russia. The Russian authorities have denied that Russian planes have ever been active in that area. Russian experts sent to that area said that the photos of the missile wreckage provided by Georgia showed that the missile was neither Russian nor Soviet. Two independent international expert groups invited by Georgia approved Georgia’s statement. However, Russian Permanent Representative to the United Nations Churkin accused Georgia of forging a "missile legend", deliberately creating a "political tsunami" and provoking it. (Bi Yuan)

    From now on, a number of enterprises will pay the transfer fee, and the monthly income of the courier brother may increase by at least seven or eight hundred yuan.

      A few days ago, Zhongtong, Yuantong, Shentong, Yunda and many other express delivery companies have issued the Notice on the Adjustment of the Distribution Fees of the Whole Network, announcing that the distribution fees of the whole network will be raised from today (September 1) to subsidize the income of couriers. The "delivery fee" means the "delivery fee", which is the income obtained by the courier to deliver the express from the outlet to the consumer. At present, what is the income of the courier brother? Look at the report that the reporter sent back from Guangzhou yesterday.

      On August 31, the reporter visited a number of courier companies in Guangzhou and found that the courier brother began to meet the busiest season of the year. Zheng Wanqiang, who is engaged in express delivery in a Guangzhou express delivery company, told reporters that starting from September 1st, the company will increase the delivery fee of 0.1 yuan for each ticket, and 200~300 pieces can be delivered every day, and each ticket will increase the 0.1 yuan, which will make him a good income every month. Zheng Wanqiang, a courier of a courier company in Guangzhou, said that the rent was just (replenished) after making up seven or eight hundred yuan.

      Not only Zheng Wanqiang, but also more courier brothers can enjoy the increase in income brought about by this round of fee increase. The reporter learned that the express delivery companies, such as Zhongtong, Yuantong, Shentong and Yunda, announced that they would increase the distribution fee of 0.1 yuan from September 1st. Just in July this year, seven central ministries and commissions jointly issued the "Working Opinions on Doing a Good Job in Protecting the Legal Rights and Interests of Courier Groups", pointing out that it is necessary to further implement the specific arrangements of the State Post Bureau on doing a good job in protecting the rights and interests of couriers and effectively enhance the legitimate rights and interests of couriers. For the delivery of some large-scale express delivery, the express delivery company has also made different adjustments. Tian Shanshan, manager of the personnel department of a courier company in Guangzhou, said that there are some areas with relatively high difficulty coefficient for the delivery of some large-sized couriers. For such couriers, we have also set up subsidies for special areas. On average, each courier can probably be promoted to a salary change of 1,000 to 1,500 yuan. Liang Wenhui, the general public affairs assistant of a courier company in Guangzhou, said that they will have a special fund of more than 200 million yuan, which will be mainly subsidized to our frontline courier brother. This special fund is basically aimed at the current income of courier brother, and some subsidies will be made to increase income.

      The reporter learned that the courier brother group has strong work intensity and difficult working conditions. The increase in the courier fee will help to strengthen the confidence of the courier brother. Mr. Lai, a courier of a courier company in Guangzhou, said that the mentality of wanting to leave the company has dropped, and at least 1000 yuan has given them more rewards.

    Flash share price breaks: the valuation has shrunk dramatically, and the customer unit price has been declining. How can the Red Sea competition break through?

      Shi Zifu, Harbor Business Watch

      In the sub-field of matching in the same city, flash delivery is usually regarded as a leading participant in the industry. However, this market is highly competitive, and only the well-known SF City, JD.COM Hours and Dada Seconds are not small rivals.

      On October 4th, Flash (FLX.US) was successfully listed on NASDAQ, with an issue price of US$ 16.5 /ADS and a total fundraising of US$ 66 million. As of 9: 38 EDT on October 8th, the stock price of Flash dropped to about US$ 15. According to Tianyancha, the domestic operation entity of Flash is Beijing Tongcheng Bing Technology Co., Ltd..

      Achieve profitability in 2023.

      Official website introduced that Flash Delivery is a one-to-one express delivery platform in the same city’s instant delivery industry, providing personal and corporate customers with special express delivery services on demand. The brand of Flash Delivery is FlashEx or Flash Delivery, which means instant delivery.

      According to the data of iResearch, in terms of revenue in 2023, Flash is the largest independent on-demand express service provider in China. In 2023, the market share of Flash in China’s independent on-demand express service is about 33.9%.

      Different from the delivery service provider that adopts the order consolidation mode, Flash initiated and always focused on the special delivery mode of on-demand delivery. For each order, Flash will assign a special Flash-Rider to pick up the order and deliver it to the recipient without merging multiple orders or changing hands on the route.

      As of June 30, 2024, Flash has about 2.7 million registered riders, and its service coverage has been extended to 295 cities in China.

      From 2021-2023 and January-June 2024 (hereinafter referred to as the reporting period), Flash Delivery fulfilled 158.6 million, 213.4 million, 270.7 million and 138.1 million orders respectively; In the current period, the company realized revenue of RMB 3,039.8 million, RMB 4,002.7 million, RMB 4,528.8 million and RMB 2,284.5 million respectively, and realized gross profit of RMB 189 million, RMB 259 million, RMB 395 million and RMB 257 million respectively, with gross profit margins of 6.2%, RMB 6.5%, RMB 8.7% and RMB 11.3 respectively.

      It is not difficult to understand the reason for the increase in revenue, which is related to the increase in the company’s orders in the current period. In terms of net profit, flash delivery generated a net loss of 291 million yuan and 180.4 million yuan in 2021 and 2022 respectively, and realized a net profit of 110 million yuan (US$ 15.205 million) and 124 million yuan (1702.0) in 2023 and January-June 2024 respectively.

      For the realization of profit in 2023, the flash payment is attributed to the increase of other income caused by the increase of government subsidies. In 2023, other income from flash delivery was 74.3 million yuan (US$ 10.2 million), compared with 9.2 million yuan in the same period in 2022.

      In the revenue composition of Flash-Riders, the salary and incentive paid to Flash-Riders are the biggest components of the company’s revenue cost. During the reporting period, it was 2.751 billion yuan, 3.614 billion yuan, 3.975 billion yuan and 1.951 billion yuan respectively, accounting for 90.5%, 90.3%, 87.8% and 85.4% of the total income of the current period respectively.

      In addition, the attention of the outside world is high. During the reporting period, the average income of a single order delivered by flash was 19.2 yuan, 18.8 yuan, 16.7 yuan and 16.5 yuan respectively, showing an obvious downward trend. Although the order volume is rising, the continuous decline of single income is still likely to affect the overall operating performance of the company.

      02

      Downgrading various fees, more than 8,000 complaints.

      The operating expenses of flash delivery include sales and marketing expenses, general and management expenses and research and development expenses. In the total cost, sales and marketing expenses account for the vast majority.

During the reporting period, the company’s general and administrative expenses were 113 million yuan, 103 million yuan, 105 million yuan and 45.505 million yuan respectively, accounting for 3.7%, 2.6%, 2.3% and 2.0% of the corresponding income respectively.

      In addition, R&D expenses mainly include: staff costs, rent and depreciation related to R&D functions, and other expenses related to R&D functions. During the reporting period, the R&D expenses of Flash were 105 million yuan, 119 million yuan, 90.847 million yuan and 41.306 million yuan, respectively, accounting for 3.4%, 3.0%, 2.0% and 1.8% of the revenue in the corresponding period.

      In the first half of 2024, Flash reduced the sales and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, and research and development expenses, by 8.56%, 13.17% and 18.6% respectively compared with the previous year. Some market participants told Harbor Business Watch that it is not ruled out that this year is facing fierce market competition and the consumption environment is weak. In order to improve profitability and IPO, Flash delivery has carried out all-round cost control.

      Flash accounts payable mainly refer to the remuneration payable to Flash-Riders. By the end of 2022, 2023 and the end of the first half of 2024, the accounts payable for flash were 356.1 million yuan, 339.8 million yuan and 314.6 million yuan respectively.

      In the first half of 2024, the net cash provided by Flash business activities was 20.7 million yuan (US$ 2.8 million). Flash mentioned that the company’s main source of liquidity was equity financing income. In March, April and May, 2021, the company obtained 747.8 million RMB from D2 financing. As of June 30, 2024, Flash had cash and cash equivalents of 711.7 million yuan (US$ 97.9 million).

      Flash delivery mentioned in the prospectus that the company does not employ any lightning riders, and provides special express service for individual and corporate customers by relying on Flash-Riders. The company usually regards such lightning riders as independent contractors.

      In this context, there are also many consumer complaints about flash delivery. As of October 8, the keyword "flash delivery" was searched on the black cat complaint platform, with a total of 8,128 complaints, and 5,744 complaints have been completed. In the last 30 days, there were 213 complaints, with an average of 7.1 complaints per day. Consumer complaints focus on time delay, overlord clauses, arbitrary deduction of service fees, unreasonable punishment of riders, and unauthorized cancellation of orders.

      03

      Valuation has shrunk dramatically, how to break through the competition in the Red Sea?

      Tianyancha shows that at the beginning of its establishment in March 2014, Flash received millions of RMB angel round financing from Jingwei Venture Capital; In June of the same year, the company also received millions of dollars in Series A financing from Jingwei Venture Capital and CDH Investment. In July and August, 2015, Flash completed $50 million in Series B financing and Series B+ financing respectively, with investors including Jiuding Investment, Light Source Growth Fund and Tiantu Investment.

      In February and June of 2017, Flash completed the C and C+ rounds of financing respectively, and the transaction amount of both rounds was USD 50 million. In August, 2017, August, 2018 and March, 2021, Flash completed the D, D+ and D++ rounds of financing respectively, among which the investors in the D+ round of financing included Haisong Capital, Wuyue Capital, Yuanxing Capital, Haina Asia Venture Capital, Shunwei Capital, Changbai Xing Capital, Shunliang Investment, Hearst Capital and Light Source Venture Capital, with a transaction amount of 60 million.

      The investors in the flash D++ financing include Shunzhi Capital, Wuyue Capital, Haina Asia Venture Capital Fund, Tiantu Investment, Haisong Capital, AlphaSquare Group, Qiyuan Investment Axiom Asia Private Capital, Qian Shan Capital and Zhongcai Capital, and the transaction amount reached 125 million US dollars.

      However, in the instant delivery market, flash delivery faces a lot of market competition.

      In the field of traditional logistics and distribution, SF Express’s SF Express delivery, running errands, and helping to buy services, with an average of one hour in the whole city; JD.COM’s instant retail business is aimed at consumers’ JD.COM Hours, and in May 2024, JD.COM Hours and other brands were upgraded to "JD.COM Seconds Delivery"; Dada Group’s Dada seconds to send help, help to send, run errands, 1 hour; Hungry? Hummingbird, its real-time logistics platform, also provides consumers with comprehensive life services such as home catering service, supermarket service, help buy and help deliver.

      In addition, after the completion of the D++ round of financing in March 2021, the valuation of flash delivery reached 2 billion US dollars (equivalent to about 14 billion yuan). According to the Hurun Global Unicorn List in 2024, the flash valuation is about 7 billion yuan, down about 40% from 2021. Up to now, the flash market value is about $1.078 billion.

      According to the Research Report on Instant Distribution Industry in China released by iResearch, the scale of the instant distribution industry will be about 341 billion yuan in 2023, and it is estimated that the scale of the industry will exceed 810 billion yuan in 2028.

      Mo Daiqing, director and senior analyst of the online retail department of the E-commerce Research Center of NetEconomy & Society, pointed out that the competition in the instant delivery market is becoming more and more fierce. For example, Dada Group and SF Express have been successfully listed in the same city, and the rookie also announced to upgrade its express delivery service in the same city and launched the "half-day service". Backed by giants such as JD.COM, SF Express and Ali, they have strong financial support and business resources. In addition, there are some new "showstopper". For example, last year, the cargo Lala announced the online errands business; Didi also launched Didi errands service; Gaode Map announced that it has cooperated with a number of instant delivery companies to provide errands through its platform; Tik Tok, Aauto Quicker, Oriental Selection, etc. are also accelerating the trial of instant retail.

      Although it has been successfully listed, on the one hand, its profitability is under great pressure, and on the other hand, how to successfully break through in the Red Sea industry has also been tested.
