Beijing, Jan 9 (Zuo Yukun) If you become the richest man in the world one day, what will you do?

　　The answer given by the world’s new richest man is: keep working.

　　Real-life version of "Iron Man", the speed of wealth rocket soared.

　　These two days, the world’s richest man has changed!

　　As of the morning of 9th Beijing time, Forbes Real-time Rich List shows that the personal assets of Tesla CEO elon musk have reached US$ 189.7 billion (RMB 1,228.308 billion at the latest exchange rate), surpassing Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’s US$ 185.7 billion to become the new richest man in the world.

　　At the same time, the wealth of Zhong Shanshan, the new richest man in China and the sixth richest man in the world, was $95.6 billion, only about half that of Musk.

　　In fact, earlier, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index had pushed this "overbearing president of Silicon Valley" to the top of the world’s wealth.

　　"elon musk, the richest man in the world." On the 7th, a report from Bloomberg reported that Tesla’s share price soared by 7.9% that day, which made Musk surpass Bezos in the Bloomberg Billionaire Index.

　　Bloomberg said that in the past year, thanks to its sustained profits, Tesla’s share price soared. Musk’s wealth is increasing. "This may be the fastest wealth creation in history."

　　It is said that the movie "Iron Man" is based on the story of Musk, and this soaring speed is really like riding a rocket.

　　But soon, Forbes poured a pot of cold water on the rocket. Forbes said that Musk is still the second richest man in the world, and his net worth is still less than Bezos, who ranks first.

　　Fortunately, the "fight" between the two lists ended with the opening of US stocks on the 8th local time. Tesla’s share price continued to rise, and the update of Forbes also made Musk secure the position of the richest man in the world.

　　In this regard, the party Musk is relatively calm. He replied on social media, "That’s weird" and said, "Well, get back to work …"

　　The richest man on earth wants to go to Mars.

　　After becoming the richest man in the world, I went to work the first time. Many people commented that this response was really "Versailles". But this is normal for Musk, because he not only "goes to heaven" but also really wants to "go to heaven".

　　"The most successful and important entrepreneur in the world", The New York Times once commented on Musk. According to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Musk was addicted to science fiction as a child and liked everything related to electricity. He has a wide range of interests, pays great attention to solar energy and artificial intelligence, and is a "tireless iron man" at work.

　　According to public information, Musk was born in South Africa in 1971. He was obsessed with science since he was a child. He went to Canada to study at the age of 17 and went to college in the United States at the age of 21. At that time, Musk, who was just in his early twenties, began to think about what would have a great impact on the future of mankind.

　　The three answers he gave were Internet, clean energy and space exploration.

　　Therefore, the three companies founded by Musk are PayPal, the world’s largest online payment platform, SPACE X, the first private space exploration technology company, and Tesla, the most well-known new energy automobile giant in China.

　　But all his business layout is for his ultimate dream-going to Mars. "The purpose of increasing your wealth is to hope that human beings can accelerate their progress towards space civilization."

　　Therefore, his Mars immigration plan has also caused many people to ridicule. "Tesla is just a tool for Musk to save money to go to Mars."

　　"If you’re going to be buried somewhere, born on Earth, it’s cool to die on Mars-but not because of the impact." Musk said in a recent interview that he expects to go into space in two or three years and hopes to be buried on Mars after his death.

　　On December 9, 2020, netizens all over the world witnessed Musk’s latest adventure-SpaceX launched the starship SN8. But unfortunately, SN8 crashed about 6 minutes after the successful launch and exploded.

　　Even so, Musk seems to be quite happy. He posted on social media: "We have got all the required data, congratulations to the Space X team!" "Mars, here we come!"

　　After the disaster, Tesla has a "blessing"

　　Musk’s "strong heart" is not born. Not only was there a slight deviation in the means of transportation to Mars this time, but the development of his means of transportation on the earth also experienced many ups and downs.

　　For Musk’s summit, the obvious reason is that Tesla’s share price has been soaring recently.

　　Since November last year, Tesla’s share price has continuously broken through the five barriers of $400, $500, $600, $700 and $800 in just three months. In less than one week of the New Year, the share price has risen from $700 to more than $800, and it has sprinted to $900.

　　As of the close of January 8 local time in the United States, Tesla’s share price closed at $880.02, with a total market value of $834.172 billion.

　　Back in early 2020, Musk’s net worth was "only" US$ 27 billion, ranking among the top 50 in the global rich list. In other words, in one year, Musk’s net worth rose by more than $160 billion. This increase alone exceeds all the assets of Bill Gates, the former richest man and founder of Microsoft.

　　But you know, in 2018, Tesla almost went bankrupt.

　　"This year (the experience) has made me feel five years older. It is the most difficult year in my career, especially painful." Musk once said on social media that Tesla was only about a month away from bankruptcy, when the company was still studying how to mass-produce Model 3.

　　With the continuous climbing of Tesla Giga Shanghai Model 3 production capacity, Tesla "survived". According to the official data released by Tesla at the beginning of this year, the cumulative sales volume of Tesla in 2020 was 499,500 units, basically reaching the planned target of annual sales of 500,000 units.

　　At present, with the help of Tesla, Musk’s road to riches is still full of stamina. A few days ago, Tesla China announced that the price of Model Y would be reduced by 160,000 yuan, and the pre-sale official website was instantly squeezed. In just a few days, the order volume has been scheduled for the second quarter of 2021.

　　Therefore, Morgan Stanley analysts, one of the world’s four largest investment banks, believe that Tesla’s sales expectations are expected to reach a new high. For Musk, who owns 20.8% of Tesla shares, his wealth may be astronomical in the near future.

　　The richest man in the world just wants to rent a house.

　　Speaking of this, Musk wants to "Versailles" again-"What if there is so much money, my house is rented."

　　Musk said in an interview with foreign media a few days ago that his main properties have been sold, and other properties are also being shot. Two months ago, Musk just sold his house in Los Angeles, and it was bought by a China.

　　"If I am busy, I prefer to sleep directly in the factory or office. If my children are there, I still need a place to live, so I tend to rent a place. However, in fact, many times I am alone, so I really don’t need a big house. " Musk said.

　　Many times, Musk, who is alone, is actually the father of six children. He had three marriages and five children with two women. Last May, he also had his first baby with his current girlfriend Grimes.

　　The marriage of the super-rich often involves more property disputes. You know, the divorce between Bezos, the former richest man in the world, and his ex-wife Mackenzie is "the most expensive divorce in history". According to Bloomberg News, if it weren’t for the divorce, Bezos’ wealth would still be ahead of Musk.

　　However, because Musk is very cautious about signing pre-marital or post-marital agreements and extremely active in the division of property during divorce, his ex-wives also have very limited wealth from divorce. From this point of view, even if Musk gets married and divorces in the future, it probably won’t have much impact on his own wealth.

　　Musk has become the richest man in the world and is still a careful "workaholic". Don’t say anything, let’s continue to work! (End)

　　The fourth major scientific and technological achievement: ultra-fast instantaneous energy band regulation of semiconductor black phosphorus

　　The interaction between light and matter is an important means to explore the micro-physical mechanism of low-dimensional quantum materials such as graphene, topology and superconductivity, among which ultra-short and ultra-intense pulsed laser can also be used as an effective means to regulate the electronic structure and state of matter. Using femtosecond pulsed laser, Tsinghua University scientific research team filmed the "movie" of electronic structure evolution with time on the ultra-fast time scale of one trillionth of a second, and realized the measurement and instantaneous regulation of non-equilibrium electronic structure. Using this technology, the research team observed the instantaneous energy band regulation in the semiconductor material black phosphorus for the first time, that is, the electronic structure of black phosphorus evolved from the parabolic shape of equilibrium to the shape of "Mexican hat", and successfully rewritten the "gene" of black phosphorus by femtosecond laser. This important scientific discovery not only expands the frontier of non-equilibrium physics knowledge, but also lays a solid foundation for the future ultra-fast time scale regulation of material properties, which indicates that China has made important progress in the international frontier research field of non-equilibrium physics in condensed matter physics and material science.

　　Major scientific and technological achievement 5: reprogramming system of human cytochemistry

　　Pluripotent stem cells have unlimited self-renewal and differentiation into all functional cell types of organisms. These magical characteristics make them widely used in cell therapy, drug screening and other fields, and they are the most critical "seed cells" in the field of regenerative medicine. For the first time in the world, Peking University’s scientific research team achieved a major breakthrough in using small chemical molecules to regulate the fate of cells. Through the establishment of human cytochemical reprogramming method, the transformation of different somatic cell types was realized, human skin cells were transformed into pluripotent stem cells, and islet cells were successfully prepared. Compared with the traditional technology, the chemical reprogramming system is safer and simpler, easy to standardize and control, and solves the underlying technical problems in the development of stem cells and regenerative medicine.

foreword

In general, the second-hand car market in China and the second-hand car market in the United States are also facing the challenges brought by the Internet and e-commerce, but there is still a big gap between the two sides in land policy and market environment, so it is impossible to make a parallel comparison. However, whether in China or the United States, the used car industry has entered the era of online and offline all-round war, and the lack of any link may make used car retailers at a disadvantage in the competition.

The used car market in the United States is highly dispersed. According to the data of the used car industry in the United States, there were about 40 million used cars sold in the United States in 2017, of which about 22 million were between 0 and 10 years old. There are about 18,000 franchised dealers in the United States (similar to domestic 4S stores). CarMax thinks this is their main retail competitor. Franchisees sell both new and used cars, so they master most of the new used cars. Franchisees also use their franchise relationship with automobile manufacturers to mark some used cars as "officially certified used cars", which is an advantage that ordinary used car retailers do not have, and CarMax is no exception.

Of course, in addition to franchised dealers, second-hand car retailers will also face competition from independent second-hand car dealers, e-commerce platforms and C2C trading organizations.

Established in 1996, CarMax, a second-hand car retailer, showed in its latest financial report that it has retailed 71,512 second-hand cars. With this achievement, CarMax has ranked first among second-hand car retailers in the United States.In addition, CarMax is one of the largest wholesale vehicle auction operators in the United States and one of the largest used car financing providers in the United States.

A long history does not mean that CarMax is complacent. In FY 2018, about 90% of customers who bought vehicles from CarMax first visited websites or mobile applications online.

Overview of CARMAX FY 2018 data

Today, we will briefly outline the commercial prototype of the largest used car retailer in the United States from three parts: retail, auction and finance.

retail

According to the latest annual report of CarMax, the company currently has 188 used car stores in the United States, of which 111 stores are located on their own land and 77 stores use leased land.. In FY 2019, CarMax plans to open 15 stores. In FY 2020, CarMax plans to open 13-16 stores.. At present, the number of CarMax employees has exceeded 25,000. In terms of vehicle sources, most of them come from individual car owners, and a smaller part comes from wholesalers, franchisees and independent dealers, and leasing companies.

The second-hand car business in the United States is also seasonal, with the strongest traffic and sales in spring and summer. Sales usually grow the slowest in autumn. In February and March, the traffic and sales of used car retailers began to increase, which coincided with the federal income tax rebate season in the United States.

The second-hand car industry in China also has seasonal laws, which started to decline in December of the previous year and gradually picked up in July.

The car purchase process in CarMax stores is different from the traditional American car retail experience. First of all, CarMax provides a free evaluation for the vehicle, and also provides a written quotation for the owner. After purchasing used cars, CarMax refurbished each used car to meet the relevant quality certification standards. This process includes checking the engine and all major systems. CarMax quality certification standards are developed by CarMax internally and are not affiliated with any third party or original equipment manufacturer. CarMax has the cost of renovation and maintenance in the quotation to consumers. Almost all used car shops in CarMax provide vehicle maintenance services, and the larger stores even have renovation services, which is similar to having the qualification and ability of a domestic first-class repair shop.

CarMax every used car must pass the inspection before it is sold, and promises to get a refund within five days. Each car is also provided with a 30-day limited warranty service, and some paid extended warranty services and financial services are provided to consumers.

Among the domestic second-hand car retail e-commerce companies, Renren, Guazi and Youxin have also adopted the methods of self-construction, joint venture or selection of a third party for second-hand car servicing. The preparation of used cars has a great influence on the price of vehicles and the consumer experience in the process of vehicle sale.

CarMax will transfer almost all the used cars in the inventory to local stores, and the storage is the store. In addition to retailing used vehicles, CarMax also sells new vehicles in two locations under franchise agreements. The integration of warehouses and doors and the sale of new cars are also one of the focuses of domestic used car e-commerce players.

auction

It is worth noting that CarMax pays attention to used cars of 0-10 years old; These vehicles usually cost between $11,000 and $35,000. CarMax evaluates vehicles by age, mileage or condition, and less than half of them meet its retail standards. Vehicles that do not meet the retail standards will be auctioned to franchisees through CarMax’s on-site wholesale auction.

In the United States, CarMax car auction market has two main competitors: Manheim, a subsidiary of Cox Enterprises, and KAR auction service company, which together account for 70% of the wholesale car auction market in North America. These competitors auction vehicles of all ages, while CarMax’s auction mainly sells older vehicles with higher mileage.

At present, the vehicles sold in CarMax wholesale auction are about 10 years old and have more than 100,000 miles. Dealers pay CarMax a certain percentage according to the sales price of the vehicles they buy. Its auction activities are usually held once a week or once every two weeks.　

In other words, retailers who have the ability to obtain car sources from the C end will have more and better used car sources, while retailers like CarMax may keep good car sources for themselves and auction almost used cars to other players. Generally speaking, the ability to collect cars independently is very important in the used car industry.

Previously, Dasou car carried out an advertising campaign in the name of car dealers, one of the purposes of which was to strengthen the car dealers’ car collection ability and ensure that car dealers in the system maintained a strong C-end car collection ability.

At present, there are many e-commerce companies engaged in the auction of used cars in China, including Cheyi Auction, Youxin Auction, Alliance Auction, Weipu Used Car Auction and Daily Auction. Even a number of C2C second-hand car e-commerce companies have begun to actively deploy auction modes, such as the speed auctions of many car groups and the quick sales of everyone under Renren.

finance

In addition to the trading link, CarMax Auto Finance (CAF) is also one of the main sources of the company’s revenue. According to its financial report, as of February 28, 2018,CAFTotal revenue in fiscal year 2018$421.2 million,Compared with FY 2017, it increased by 14.1%.CAFIn its $11.62 billion managed accounts receivable portfolio, it is about895,000 customer accountsprovide services. However, it is worth mentioning that CAF is not the most important participant in automobile consumption finance, and the mainstream players are still banks, exclusive financial departments of new car manufacturers, credit cooperatives and independent financial companies.

Overview of CarMax automobile finance

CAF’s main competitors are banks and credit cooperatives that provide direct financing to customers who buy used cars. The main driving force of CAF’s growth is the growth of CarMax retail used car sales, and typical transactions drive financial growth.

The increase of CAF income is mainly due to the increase of average management accounts receivable and the decrease of loan loss reserve, which is partly offset by the lower percentage of total interest rate.

CarMax auto finance is mainly oriented to the retail market, and there are many players in China, such as Murray Finance and Youxin Finance. China used car e-commerce company also provides B2B storage services for used car dealers, and the main players are the No.1 car loan and the used car home. Earlier, the IPO financial report of Youxin showed that Youxin also participated in the second-hand car storage service.

Competition from Internet and E-commerce

However, it is undeniable that in the United States, the Internet is increasingly used in the second-hand car market. Buying and selling second-hand cars and providing vehicle financing may have a significant adverse impact on the sales and operating performance of CarMax.

American second-hand car retailers also face competitors from e-commerce, including second-hand car pricing information can be queried online, which makes it difficult for second-hand car dealers to distinguish their customers’ products from competitors’ products, resulting in a decline in retail profit margins. Although search engines and online classification websites are not the direct competitors of American used car retailers, online traffic is directed to the websites of competitive car retailers, which makes the competition of used car retailers more diversified.

It is more and more difficult to sell used cars through a single channel (whether online or offline), which is similar to the environment faced by domestic used car retailers.

For example, some websites provide consumers with online evaluation tools to generate quotations and promote consumers to buy at any used car retailer, and evaluation tools have become one of the entrances to used car transactions. There are also a large number of online appraisal companies in China, such as blueprint price, fair price, accurate appraisal, car 300 and car E appraisal. CarMax believes that online evaluation tools may increase the purchase cost of used car retailers because of price transparency.

In addition to the Internet and e-commerce, some companies in the United States sell software and data solutions to new and used car dealers, so that these dealers can provide source and price inventory more effectively. Domestic second-hand car management system providers include Big Windmill, Car Win, Car Netcom, Car Visitors and so on.

In general, the second-hand car market in China and the second-hand car market in the United States are also facing the changes brought by the Internet and e-commerce, but there is still a big gap between the two sides in land policy and market environment, so it is impossible to make a parallel comparison. However, whether in China or the United States, the used car industry has entered the era of online and offline all-round war, and the lack of any link may make used car retailers at a disadvantage in the competition.

　　CCTV News:The website of Northwest Normal University released a briefing on September 29th: In the process of recommending excellent fresh graduates in 2024 to study for postgraduate work without examination, due to serious work mistakes of the staff, the number of graduate students who were exempted from publicity exceeded the quota of the exemption plan. After discovering the problem, the school has withdrawn the quota of the excess exemption scheme and explained it to the affected students. To this end, the school apologizes.

　　The occurrence of this incident reflects that the school’s work style is lax and untrue, and the school has an unshirkable management responsibility for this. At present, the school has suspended the relevant responsible persons for inspection, and set up a special investigation team to start the accountability procedure. The dereliction of duty found in the investigation will be dealt with seriously according to the rules and regulations, and the investigation and handling results will be notified in time.

Special topic: the incident of smashing, looting and burning in Lhasa, Tibet

Photos described by Dalai as "China soldiers posing as lamas to stir up riots".

Using this photo to slander "China soldiers pretending to be lamas" is full of flaws.

　　　 On March 29th, the Dalai Lama held a press conference in India, and made a rumor by himself that "China soldiers pretended to be lamas to stir up riots", so as to shirk the responsibility of launching the "March 14th Tibet incident". And there is a lot of evidence that this is another smear of Dalai’s low level that can’t stand scrutiny.

　　　 On this issue, the World Wide Web contacted Ren Yan, a special correspondent of Global Times in India. At that time, the fact was that the Dalai Lama only gave lip service at the press conference and did not produce evidence and photos. Moreover, the general view in India was that China had been committed to the stability of Tibet and could not take the initiative to provoke conflicts. Therefore, the Indian media only mentioned the Dalai Lama’s press conference and did not agree with Dalai’s outrageous slander. In the report, he described Dalai’s nonsense as a "war of words".

　　　 According to the Global Times reporter, the "China soldiers posing as lamas" mentioned by the Dalai Lama came from an online photo, but with a little analysis, it can be found that this photo could not have been taken during the "314 Tibet smashing and looting incident":

　　　 First of all, the picture is not China’s army but the armed police force; Secondly, according to the news of Xinhua News Agency in 2004, from January 1, 2005, the officers and men of the Armed Police Force will wear armbands and chest tags in a unified way, but the armed police soldiers in the photo did not wear armbands and chest tags, indicating that this photo was taken at least before 2005; Another fact is that, according to the news of Tibet Business Daily in October, 2004, from October 13th, 2004, human tricycles in Lhasa will uniformly use blue, red and green curtains with Tibetan characteristics, while the color of the tricycle curtain in the picture is still blue, which shows that the photo can’t be taken after November, 2004.

　　　 这张被达赖集团拿来污蔑“中国军人假扮喇嘛挑起暴动”的照片，非但没有起任何效果，照片本身反而成了揭露达赖集团唯恐西藏不乱真面目的铁证，而达赖言之凿凿的新闻会又成了一场可笑的闹剧。

　　　 正如外交部发言人姜瑜31日就达赖称中国军人“假扮僧侣”一事答记者问时表示，达赖用道听途说的谣言无法改变事件真相，只能证明他心虚气短。 (环球时报?环球网 郝?石)
