Wisdom in details
The definition of Once, due to the cold weather, I wanted to buy a cup of hot drink on the vending machine, and saw the slogan on the button selling latte: “So hot, so delicious.” This slogan revealed that it is Based on the concept of “low calories, it’s not good”, perhaps it can be further understood. Its implication is “the latte needs to be sweetened with sugar”. In short, this slogan does not use words that are directly related to calories, such as “adding sugar” and “adding a lot of cream, and the taste is smooth”, but uses vague and ambiguous words such as “delicious”, which makes me quite…

Investment needs futurology
When the United States launched a trade war, the world has undergone major changes and turning points in stages. Prior to this, involution mainly occurred in a certain competitive field in a certain region. Since then, involution has crossed national boundaries. The incremental cake is not big, and we can only strive for a larger share in the stock cake to ensure interests, which can easily fall into a zero-sum game or even a negative-sum game. The huge incremental cake mainly comes from the changes in the production mode brought about by the technological upgrading of human beings, and the sudden and substantial increase in material wealth after improving efficiency…

Legendary British investor Terry Smith: Tech companies should return when money is no longer ‘free’
In 2022, unless most of your stock investment (US stocks) is concentrated in energy companies, you will definitely experience a retracement of your net worth. The reason for this is that we are exiting a long period of monetary easing: a period of government spending far exceeding revenue and macro-low interest rates. Monetary easing can be traced back to the Greenspan era. In the 1990s, we encountered many crises, such as the Asian crisis in 1997, the Russian financial crisis in 1998, and the collapse of Long-Term Capital Management in the United States. During these market volatility, low interest rates are used as a pain-relieving measure. With the dawn of…

Why is China’s body armor the number one in the world?
In the case of liberalizing market competition, China often plays the role of “developed country pulverizer”. China is the world’s largest producer of body armor, accounting for 70% of the global market share. During the Iraq War, 12 British soldiers were surrounded by enemy forces. With few enemies and many enemies, the British army rushed out of the encirclement, and the body armor was beaten into a hornet’s nest. Some people even shot 12 times, but the body armor was not penetrated. In the end, only one person died of being hit in the brain. . At that time, they were wearing bulletproof vests produced by Ningbo Dacheng Company. The…

House demolition is also a business
Archiving existing building materials, providing building material rental services, recycling waste building materials to create new buildings… People are gradually realizing that construction waste is a valuable asset rather than a burden that needs to be disposed of with money. For a long time, cranes and bulldozers have been great symbols of urbanization, and the dust and rubble after blasting are even more feats that politicians like to highlight. In the UK, construction projects account for as much as 60% of materials consumed, 33% of waste generated, and 45% of carbon dioxide emissions. It can be said that the construction industry is like a monster that is greedy, profligate and…

Divided Graham Green
The modern classic author Graham Greene was as strict about his privacy as he was about others. His biography, A Life, “closed his record at the age of twenty-seven,” and he has since refused to write another autobiography. Green’s memoir “Road to Escape” published in 1980 is not strictly autobiographical, but has a strong autobiographical nature. The reason, as he himself said, is that autobiography will inevitably invade the secrets of other people’s lives. But Green’s private life isn’t much of a mystery to the public either. In 1976, Green appointed Norman Shelley as his biography writer. Shirley, who successfully wrote Conrad’s biography, also vividly portrayed Green’s ups and downs…

We review a series of policies in the great inflation of the 1970s from a historical perspective, and try to find enlightenment on…

The Hercules Cup is coming to the Bay Stadium, and the World Cup is in full swing. The host country, Qatar, invested US$220 billion to build venues and develop infrastructure in the desert, building a modern city of Lusail from scratch.

The Fed’s Thorny Road
In November 2022, the Fed will raise interest rates again by 75 basis points back to back, raising interest rates by 300 basis points in five consecutive interest rate meetings, while continuing to implement balance sheet reduction. Such a radical monetary tightening has not been seen in the past 40 years, which is inseparable from the current high inflation in the United States. In September, the CPI growth rate in the United States was still as high as 8.2%, which was at a high level since 1982. Many Fed officials said that such a high level of inflation cannot be tolerated. At the end of June 2022, Lagarde, President of…
