Editor’s note:With the improvement of living standards, health has become our most concerned topic. What is healthy food? How to prevent physical diseases in life? This has become the focus of attention. People’s Health Network launched the column "Jintai Health Park" to take stock of the most healthy lifestyle for you every week and take you into the health park.

　　Don’t forget to nourish your heart and protect your brain when spring comes.

　　Spring is coming, "heart disease" still needs to be prevented.

　　Many old patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will feel that the most dangerous winter has passed and they can breathe a sigh of relief. Liang Donghui, director of zhujiang hospital Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Southern Medical University, reminded that research shows that cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have two peak periods every year, one in autumn and winter, and the other in spring.

　　External cause: the climate is hot and cold.

　　Especially in spring in Lingnan area, the climate is changeable, and it is hot and cold, which is easy to cause acute attacks of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In particular, patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease are prone to angina pectoris, even myocardial infarction and stroke. Therefore, the folk proverb of "covering spring and freezing autumn" is very reasonable. "Spring cover" means that the temperature in spring has just warmed up, so it is not appropriate to take off winter clothes too early, because it is warm and cold at this time, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is relatively large. It is difficult to adapt to taking off winter clothes too early, once the temperature drops, the human body’s resistance will decrease and blood pressure will fluctuate greatly, which will easily lead to the increase of myocardial oxygen consumption index and increase the heart load.

　　When blood vessels are stimulated by cold, they will spasm. People with atherosclerotic plaques, those unstable plaques will rupture and fall off, resulting in myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction.

　　Internal cause: hyperactivity of liver and emotional uncertainty.

　　In addition to external factors, spring "heart disease" is prone to internal factors. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spring belongs to wood in the five elements, and the liver belongs to wood in the five internal organs of the human body (heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney). Spring qi passes through the liver, and liver qi rises vigorously. Many people with high blood pressure have a common physical feature — — Hyperactivity of liver yang and vigorous liver fire. In spring, their mood is often very unstable, and they are prone to lose their temper. When they lose their temper, their blood pressure will increase, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will easily occur.

　　Do three things to protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in spring.

　　Liang Donghui said that a healthy body needs active and continuous maintenance. For middle-aged and elderly people, especially those with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and high-risk groups, it is very important to do seasonal prevention work, which can reduce the incidence and reduce the serious harm caused by diseases. Care for blood vessels in spring should pay attention to the following three aspects:

　　1. Don’t let your body catch cold, keep warm and reduce the heart load.

　　Pay attention to the change of weather, add and reduce clothes in time, and would rather wear more clothes than freeze. Especially when going out in the morning and evening, pay attention to keep warm and wear a good hat to prevent cold wind from invading the body, causing blood pressure fluctuation and vasospasm, avoiding the rupture and shedding of unstable plaques from causing myocardial infarction and reducing the heart load.

　　2. Eat a reasonable diet and eat more bud vegetables in spring, which will help the yang to rise.

　　For patients with cardiovascular diseases, it is necessary to keep your mouth shut at all times, and eating and drinking may cause illness at any time. To prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, the diet is mainly coarse grains and vegetables, and it should be low in oil, salt, fat and sugar.

　　In the season when the yang rises in spring, the human body’s yang conforms to nature, and it is scattered upward and outward. You can eat foods that warm and tonify the yang and disperse the temperature rise, such as onions, garlic, ginger and leeks. Sprouting vegetables such as bean sprouts, Toona sinensis, tender bamboo shoots and spinach also contribute to the rise of yang. You can eat more onions, tomatoes, loofah, eggplant, fungus, etc. These foods can resist arteriosclerosis and reduce blood fat. Edible foods that are sweet and spleen-nourishing, such as jujube and yam. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to help calm and nourish the liver.

　　3. Keep a good mood, and avoid mood swings of great joy and great sorrow.

　　Spring is the time when the liver is flourishing. Chinese medicine believes that the liver governs the release of qi, which means that maintaining psychological balance and emotional stability is beneficial to the health of the heart and blood vessels and can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

　　Never avoid the emotional fluctuation of great joy and great sorrow, which will easily lead to blood pressure fluctuation, autonomic nerve dysfunction and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Especially those patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases with depression and anxiety at the same time should be more vigilant.

　　If you want "heart" health, you must also pay attention to "mood" health

　　Often "heart jam" for some daily trifles may lead to real "heart jam" for a long time. Liang Donghui said that in clinical practice, it is found that more and more patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have mental and psychological problems. The comorbidity rate of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases with depression and anxiety disorder is very high.

　　Experts remind that if someone in the family always feels uncomfortable and can’t find the reason for going to the hospital, they must be patient, understand more, explain more, and seek help from mental and psychological professionals when appropriate.

　　Daily chest distress and palpitation can be relieved by pressing two acupoints.

　　Liang Donghui said that if the patient is diagnosed with "double heart disease" with cardiovascular disease and psychological disorder at the same time, the doctor should conduct corresponding dual diagnosis and treatment and "treat both mind and body". However, the family and society should also have corresponding support, and patients should "relax" and face the disease positively. Sometimes they might as well do health exercises, Tai Ji Chuan and Ba Duan Jin under the guidance of Chinese medicine practitioners.

　　If there are some symptoms such as chest tightness and palpitation at ordinary times, what method can be temporarily relieved? Liang Donghui introduced two methods of acupressure. In case of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, you can massage yourself while waiting for the arrival of professional ambulance personnel, which has good anti-angina and anti-arrhythmia effects. Daily massage can also play the role of health care and heart protection, and patients with atrial fibrillation, premature beats, arrhythmia and other diseases can use it to regulate themselves.

　　1. Neiguan point: Regular pressing has the functions of calming the heart, calming the nerves, regulating qi and relieving pain, and is called Baoxin Yaoxue. Sometimes gastrointestinal discomfort, such as nausea and vomiting, and even motion sickness, can be relieved by pressing this point.

　　【 Acupoint selection method 】 The transverse palmar stripes are pointed upwards by three fingers, and the midpoint of the two tendons is Neiguan point, between the palmar longus tendon and the flexor carpi radialis tendon.

　　[Massage method] Press the thumb on Neiguan point, press the index finger on the corresponding Waiguan point on the outer side of the arm, and force the finger vertically downward, and it is appropriate to feel sore. After pressing for 20~30 seconds each time, gradually release it, and then press it down again. Press each hand for 3~5 minutes, and then change the inner and outer points at the corresponding position on the other side for the same time and method.

　　2. Taichong point: Regular pressing has the effect of calming the liver and suppressing yang, which can relieve hypertension, dizziness and headache.

　　【 Acupoint selection method 】 It is located at the back of the foot, at the front depression of the joint of the first metatarsal and the second metatarsal.

　　[Massage Method] Press your fingers down on the acupoints, then massage them, with moderate intensity, so as to produce a feeling of soreness. Press each acupoint repeatedly for 1-2 minutes, and then change one side to the corresponding position of the other foot, and massage in the same way.

　　Soaking feet at nine o’clock in the evening is the best way to protect the kidney.

　　Soaking feet before going to bed is a good habit, which can promote blood circulation of lower limbs and relieve fatigue of the day, but pay attention to time. Because the physiological activities of the human body are periodic, that is, we call it the biological clock. This biological clock has a cyclical law of growth and collection. In the morning, qi rises to the outside, but at night, it is the opposite. It needs to converge and hide inside. Our daily activities must also conform to this law in order to be healthy.

　　According to the traditional twelve o’clock timing method, at night, from 9 o’clock to 11 o’clock, Hai is the last one of the twelve branches, and then it is time to enter the next cycle. We often say that when the sun is shining, it can be said that our yang is starting again. If the last cycle is not well rested, the next cycle will start wearily, which will lead to health hazards in the long run. Therefore, we must let our qi, blood and spirit fully return before 11 o’clock, and sleeping on time is a good measure.

　　In addition, soaking feet before going to sleep also plays an auxiliary role. It is most appropriate to soak feet with warm water at 9: 00 pm to 11: 00 pm, which can attract our spirit to the lower limbs, and the spirit has a leading role in qi and blood. When the spirit is concentrated, the qi and blood will also descend. For some mental workers, it is very useful for the spirit of qi and blood to descend, because after thinking about the problem for a day, the spirit is concentrated on it, and the brain is more excited, so it is more difficult to fall asleep at night. After soaking feet in warm water, the spirit and qi and blood are easier to return, that is, to return to their base camp, and the kidney dominates the storage of essence, so it is the kidney that is replenished after collection.

　　The kidney meridian of human body starts from the first step. After soaking feet in warm water, it plays a warming role and is a benign stimulus to the kidney meridian, which will naturally play a good role in the kidney. Therefore, although no measures have been taken for the kidney, the meridian can also play a role in tonifying the kidney.

　　It should be noted that the water temperature of soaking feet must be moderate, not too hot or too cold. If the water temperature is too hot, it will not help the kidney to collect, but will make people more excited, thus increasing the consumption of kidney essence; If the water is too cold and cold, the meridians will be blocked, and the cold will enter the abdomen along the meridians, and its harm is self-evident.

　　Walking briskly every day, you can easily live to 80 years old.

　　Life lies in exercise, which is good for longevity. A new study published at the 68th annual scientific meeting of the American Heart Association found that a 70-year-old man’s chances of living past 80 can be doubled by walking briskly every day.

　　Professor seamus wheelton, a researcher at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in the United States, and his research team made an in-depth analysis of the medical records of more than 6,500 participants over 70 years old in 18 years. The researchers asked the participants to do their best to exercise regularly on the treadmill or stationary bicycle, tested their exercise stress, and divided them into groups according to their exercise amount and heart disease risk factors. During the 10-year follow-up survey, 39% of the participants passed away. The results of comparative analysis show that people who walk briskly every day are twice as likely to live past 80 as those who don’t exercise. Even if the risk factors of heart disease are taken into account, this result still holds.

　　Professor wheelton said that the new research results show that fitness level is an important indicator to predict life span and health, and clinicians can incorporate it into the process of seeing a doctor and evaluate the exercise stress of elderly patients by asking them about their exercise patterns. This diagnosis method has the advantages of low cost, low risk and low technology. Experts suggest that for people who do not have heart disease risk factors such as hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes and smoking, if they do not exercise, their risk of premature death is similar to that of people with more than three risk factors.

　　Six benefits of reaching the standard of sleep

　　Adults should sleep at least seven hours a night, but many people can’t reach this standard. For those who don’t get enough sleep, an extra hour’s sleep can give the body and brain a better rest and improve their health in many ways. Recently, the American Reader’s Digest magazine summarized the benefits of reaching the standard of sleep.

　　1. Protect your heart. A research result announced at the general meeting of the European Society of Cardiology shows that both lack of sleep and too much sleep are harmful to the heart. This may be because sleep will affect physiological processes such as glucose metabolism, blood pressure and inflammation, which will have an impact on the incidence of cardiovascular diseases.

　　2. The risk of diabetes is reduced. Even healthy young people, as long as they don’t get enough sleep for one night (less than 6 hours), will affect their metabolism. A study by Sultan University in Qaboos, Oman found that long-term sleep less than 6 hours may be related to the onset of type 2 diabetes. In this case, the body will produce too much insulin, but it cannot be used to decompose glucose in the blood.

　　3. Keep slim. Exercise and a balanced diet are essential to keep a healthy and slim figure, but a good rest at night also helps to keep your weight stable. The American Nurses’ Health Research (NHS) found that people who sleep less than five hours have a 15% higher risk of obesity than their peers who sleep seven hours a night.

　　4. It is not easy to get depression. Studies have shown that people with insomnia are 10 times more likely to suffer from depression than normal people, and are more likely to commit suicide. People with obstructive sleep apnea are more likely to suffer from depression.

　　5. Enhance immunity. Poor sleep quality will have a negative impact on immunity, and it is more likely to catch a cold or infection. When sleeping, the immune system usually releases cytokines. However, after many sleepless nights, the number of cytokines, antibodies and cells produced by the body with anti-infection ability will decrease.

　　6. The risk of dementia is reduced. Researchers at Boston University School of Medicine found that people with poor quality during REM sleep have a higher risk of dementia. This cycle is the best time for sleep quality, and the efficiency of brain rejuvenation is the highest.

　　Yesterday, there was moderate rain in the whole city, with heavy rainfall in the south and east, and heavy rain in some places. From 22: 00 on May 25 to 15: 00 on May 26, the average rainfall in the city was 18.3 mm, and the maximum rainfall occurred in Daxing Yufa, 80.8 mm.

　　After the rain, the north wind came, and there will still be about 4 northerly winds and 7 gusts in this city during the day. The temperature will gradually rise from now on, and it will reach about 34℃ again at the weekend.

　　China Southern Airlines reported yesterday that yesterday morning, due to the thunderstorm weather in Beijing, the CZ3101 Guangzhou-Beijing flight of China Southern Airlines was hit by hail and its windshield broke. The crew was disposed of according to the manual procedures, and the plane landed safely at Beijing Capital Airport at 11: 48 am, and the crew on board were safe. According to public information, the Airbus A380 was flying the flight.

　　Encountered several violent bumps and cracks on the outside of the windshield.

　　From the photos taken by netizens circulating on the Internet, it can be seen that the paint on the nose of the plane is obviously damaged, the external radome is damaged, and the windshield is seriously broken.

　　In the recording of a conversation between the crew of flight CZ3101 and the Beijing Tower to confirm the situation on board, the crew said, "You can see that there is a crack outside the windshield."

　　The Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned from an on-board passenger that when the plane entered the landing stage, it suffered several violent bumps. "There were three or four sections, each of which was tens of seconds. The bumps were much more serious than those I experienced before flying. You can see that there are very thick clouds around the plane." As can be seen from the photos taken after the passenger got off the plane, the paint on the nose of the plane was obviously damaged.

　　Another passenger recalled that when the plane landed, "it felt like riding a roller coaster. I almost threw up at that time. It was so lucky to land safely."

　　Flight safety landing netizens "like" the captain.

　　When this incident came out, it triggered a heated discussion among netizens, and many people "liked" the captain. Weibo, the official of China Southern Airlines, said, "The flight was affected by the thunderstorm weather in Beijing. During the landing in Beijing, the plane was hit by hail and the windshield was broken. The crew was disposed of according to the manual procedures. The plane landed safely at Beijing Capital International Airport at 11: 48, and the crew was safe. "

　　In an interview with the reporter of Beiqing Daily, China Southern Airlines said that the captain of this flight is He Xianghang, with a flight experience of about 15,000 hours and a technical level of Class C teachers.

　　At 08: 35 yesterday, flight CZ3101 took off from Guangzhou Baiyun Airport normally, and approached in the airspace of Beijing Capital Airport at 11: 20. When flying around the clouds in a thunderstorm, it was suddenly hit by hail, which caused the outer layer of the windshield to rupture and affected the pilot’s sight.

　　The flight crew was calm in the face of danger, managed cockpit resources efficiently, and handled it in strict accordance with the operating procedures of the company manual. For safety reasons, MAYDAY was immediately announced, and the situation at that time was comprehensively evaluated: first, the aircraft was damaged. Because the A380 windshield is a three-layer structure, only the outer windshield is damaged and the inner layer is intact, which can ensure safe flight. In addition, all systems of the aircraft operate normally and are safe and controllable.

　　The second is the weather. Damage to the outer windshield will affect the heating of the windshield, and the aircraft can’t fly in the ice accumulation area. According to the latest weather situation and forecast of the Capital Airport, the crew found that the weather system has basically crossed the border and met the conditions for safe landing. The third is the navigation facilities of the Capital Airport. The Capital Airport has the condition of Class II blind descent, which can improve the safety margin. At the same time, I learned from the cabin that there was no abnormality on the whole. Based on the above situation, the crew shortened the air flight time as much as possible and applied to the controller for priority landing.

　　Finally, the plane landed safely at 36R runway of Beijing Capital Airport at 11: 48 yesterday. All the crew members adhere to the eternal theme of flight safety. In the case of damaged windshield, they strictly standardize operations, decisively evaluate and make decisions, land safely in the shortest time, and always regard the safety of passengers’ lives and property as the highest responsibility of pilots.

　　Can an airplane fly safely with a broken windshield?

　　Chen Jianguo, a senior captain, said in an interview with the reporter of Beiqing Daily that the aircraft radome is made of synthetic materials, not a part of the pressurized fuselage, and the damage may only have an impact on the weather radar, but has little impact on the safe flight of the aircraft.

　　Chen Jianguo said that according to the manual of Airbus aircraft, the front windshield of the aircraft has six layers, namely, outer layer, heating coating, interlayer, middle layer, interlayer and inner layer from outside to inside. The outer layer is heated by the heating coating, which mainly plays a protective role. When the plane flies in the air, the outside temperature will be as low as MINUS 60 degrees Celsius, and the heated windshield can effectively maintain a certain strength and toughness. The middle layer and the inner layer are called structural layers. No matter the middle layer or the inner layer, any layer has the ability to bear twice the maximum pressure difference of the aircraft, so as long as there is any glass in the middle or the inner layer, the aircraft is safe.

　　Chen Jianguo explained that when the plane’s glass is broken, the pilot can touch it along the crack with a pen or fingernail to see if the inner glass is broken. If the inner glass is broken, it is impossible to estimate whether the middle layer is also broken. It should be lowered immediately to reduce the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the plane, so as to avoid the danger that the plane will deteriorate further and lose the whole windshield, thus losing pressure. If the inner glass is not damaged, the plane is safe and can continue to fly safely because the inner glass can bear at least twice the maximum pressure difference.

"We are like Apple in 1984, ‘when Apple had the revolutionary power to break IBM’s monopoly on the computing technology market.’ But now, ‘Apple is the behemoth it once accused of trying to control markets, stifle competition and stifle innovation.’"

The new payment system undoubtedly violated Apple’s App Store policies, and Apple responded quickly and aggressively by removing Fortnite entirely from the App Store. Epic was clearly well-prepared. Shortly after being taken down, Epic released a small video of "Fortnite", in which it mocked Apple from a former dragon slayer to a dragon, borrowing a meme from Apple’s famous 1984 MAC ad.

The classic 1984 Apple ad was about revolution and breaking IBM’s monopoly. But the video was more than a satire. Minutes after the video was released, Epic announced that it had filed a lawsuit against Apple.

The rivalry between the two sides is still escalating. Apple has taken down Epic’s developer account and iOS and MAC power builder. Epic claims this will prevent them from developing software for Apple’s platform, including Unreal Engine support for third-party developers on the iOS.

However, according to an annual survey called "All Things Valve Should Know 3.0": Since 2018, game developers, especially in the West, have become increasingly negative about Valve and Steam, and have begun to lose confidence in Steam. They do not believe that it is reasonable to pay 30% of the platform’s commission to the store.

Epic became the initiator of this battle for platform royalties. Previously, with the popularity of its games such as Fortnite, Epic established its own game platform, Epic Games Store, packaged all its games, and used ultra-low royalties as a means to attract game developers. From previous news, Epic did not intend to treat Steam as a competitor, but more to convey that it wanted to change the 30% cut of computer games (PC) platforms. From the original game developer Deep Silver’s announcement that "Metro 2033" would be exclusive to Epic for a limited time for one year, to the later announcement of a limited time exclusive to the Epic platform by popular game developers, and then to Ubisoft’s removal of "The Division Blockade 2" directly from Steam, game makers and platforms are using actions to demonstrate their views on the cut.

Is 30% reasonable?

---

The 30% platform commission is a traditional system, originally formulated by first-party console manufacturers such as Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft. The financial resources of Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft to operate platforms are unmatched by PC platform operations. They have also shown players that operating a PC-side platform, even a 12% commission, is also very profitable. Since the operation of the host platform and the operation of the PC platform are completely different from the difficulty level, it is indeed unreasonable for Steam to operate according to the platform commission of the host manufacturer.

Some netizens broke the relevant commission data of Tencent’s platform: if you just log in to Tencent’s platform, there will be a 30% commission; if you want to promote and use the server, the commission will increase to 50%~ 60%; if it is a mobile game, the commission will be 70%. In addition, the application treasure is 70%; the WeChat mini-game props internal purchase is 40%; the part of the single-day advertising revenue within 100,000 yuan, the developer can get 50% of it; the part of the single-day advertising revenue exceeding 100,000 yuan, the developer can get 30% of it. From this point of view, is the 30% commission not high?

In fact, this is not the case. In China, Tencent owns the vast majority of traffic, and even with a 70% cut, game developers or publishers earn more than many other platforms that take a 10% cut. The main reason why it is unreasonable to say that Steam’s 30% cut is that even in an ideal situation, the income of most profitable game companies is equivalent to the income of the platform, and even the income of the platform is higher than that of the game company. And online game platforms such as Steam,Neither do they have to bear the high costs associated with physical stores and logistics, nor do they have the obligation to help game companies promote their games, which has caused many game makers to be dissatisfied with the 30% cut in recent years.

For an indie game studio, such a high cut would pose a dilemma for the entire team.If the game is handed over to a large company for distribution, and the large company cooperates with Steam, it is equivalent to being drawn twice. And if the independent game team wants to log in to Steam by itself, it will encounter more resistance. On the one hand, Steam will not provide these studios with upfront funding, and it is difficult for an independent development team to complete the game independently without the help of the operating company. On the other hand, the promotion and marketing of the game is very important, and most independent studios do not have the ability to do the follow-up work themselves. In addition, for low-cost indie games, publishing on a high-traffic platform like Steam represents more opportunities, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages than the high commission.

The fantasy video game website (IGN) has sorted out the sales data of major online sales platforms from dozens of information sources. Surprisingly, the data provided by the vast majority of sources is exactly the same, that is, 30% of the platform. Not only Steam and Apple, but also online sales platforms such as Microsoft, Sony, Google, Nintendo, and offline sales platforms such as Amazon and Walmart draw 30%.It can be seen that a 30% cut is a common practice in the industry and a major environment in the game business community.

In the eyes of most game developers, Epic played the role of a revolutionary pioneer, a "leading brother" who explicitly proposed that the 30% cut was unreasonable. However, in the eyes of players, this was not the case. Negative comments on Epic were widely circulated among players. In the eyes of many players, Epic was a speculator, doing things to occupy the market under the name of lowering the platform’s cut.

This phenomenon is very easy to understand, because the level of the platform does not affect the price of the game too much, players can not feel the intuitive benefits, and Epic as a latecomer, the player group is far less than the predecessor Steam, in the platform function and user experience are not as good as Steam, most Steam users are not surprising to Epic.

But there are still reasons to believe that Epic is determined to change the platform’s commission. A 12% commission will undoubtedly attract more and more games to the Epic platform, and Epic expands its player base through a large number of free games and benefits. The substantial benefits that low commissions bring to game developers will gradually emerge, and more outstanding studios in trouble can show their talents on the Epic platform.

In the new game market system, a model full of reform and innovation may be vacated, and Epic has become the person who raises the revolutionary banner, but whether it can become the ultimate winner remains to be seen.

Meituan’s instant retail scene and richness continue to expand. In the second quarter, the number of instant delivery orders increased by 31.6% year-on-year to 5.40 billion orders. By strengthening supply and optimizing subsidy strategies, the stickiness between users and platforms has further increased. In this context, Meituan’s monthly takeaway orders reached a record high in August.

Stimulated by numerous holiday consumption and marketing activities in the second quarter, the online penetration rate of electronic products and home appliances in second- and third-tier cities accelerated significantly, and categories such as daily necessities, beauty and personal care, and maternal and infant products all showed strong quarterly growth.

In the second quarter, Meituan Preferred transaction volume and revenue continued to grow year-on-year, but the growth rate declined due to the lower-than-expected growth rate of the overall market. Operational efficiency improved significantly compared to the same period last year. Meituan Preferred revenue, recognized on a net basis, declined quarter-on-quarter, mainly due to higher subsidies, which led to lower average price of pieces.

Meituan’s quarterly operating loss widened quarter-on-quarter, mainly due to business expansion, increased subsidies to drive growth, spending on cold chain and logistics to cope with the upcoming hot weather, and seasonal product portfolio changes.

Meituan said that although it faces difficulties in optimizing its business model in the short term, it believes that the online process of groceries will continue, and remains confident in the long-term potential of Meituan Preferred. As of the end of June, Meituan Preferred has reached 470 million cumulative trading users.

Despite a high base in the same period last year, Meituan market recorded a solid year-on-year growth in the second quarter and achieved a higher market share. The proportion of transactions of standard products and private brands continued to increase, effectively increasing the frequency of users.

In June, Wang Huiwen resigned as a non-executive director of Meituan due to personal health reasons. Subsequently, Meituan announced the completion of the acquisition of 100% of the shares of domestic and foreign entities outside the light year, and the purchase price was about 2.065 billion.

In July, Meituan drone fourth-generation new models were released. Meituan drone has been operating in multiple cities such as Shenzhen and Shanghai, and has delivered nearly 170,000 orders in two years. The financial report shows that Meituan’s R & D expenditure in the second quarter increased to 5.40 billion yuan year-on-year.

Meituan’s sales and marketing expenses increased from 9 billion yuan in the second quarter of 2022 to 14.60 billion yuan in the same period in 2023. This was mainly due to the recovery in consumption and changes in the business environment, resulting in higher transaction user incentive, promotion and advertising expenses, and higher employee benefits expenses.

The company’s general and administrative expenses decreased from $2.50 billion in the second quarter of 2022 to $2.10 billion in the same period in 2023, mainly due to lower employee benefit expenses and improved operating leverage.

Meituan CFO Chen Shaohui said that in the first half of this year, the local life sector benefited from the vigorous growth momentum of commodity retail and service retail, meeting more new demand and creating more new supply. In the future, Meituan will further promote the digital upgrade of the commodity retail and service retail industry.

Xiaomi’s apology letter is not cool enough, and Huawei is coming to join in the fun.

The day before, Lei Jun was still congratulating the intellectual S7 on its big sale. The next day, Yu Chengdong couldn’t navigate Xiaomi SU7.

The more high-end commercial warfare, the more simple struggle methods should be used. So who is better than Xiaomi SU7 in Zhijie S7?

Judging from the price that everyone is most concerned about, the second listing of Zhijie S7 is indeed a lot more cost-effective than four months ago. The price has dropped by 20,000 yuan, and the endurance of the entry model has increased to 705 kilometers. It is also equipped with Huawei Vision Intelligent Driving ADS Basic Edition for the first time. However, compared with Xiaomi SU7, the price of Zhijie S7 is still high.

In terms of performance, the acceleration performance of Xiaomi SU7 is also due to the top version of Zhijie S7, which has a battery life of 855 kilometers except Max+, and the battery life of other versions is lower than that of Xiaomi SU7 at the same level.

Of course, the intelligent S7 mainly wins in the intelligent level. Huawei ADS advanced intelligent driving system has the functions of parking on behalf of the driver, parking assistance in mechanical parking spaces and intelligent driving assistance in urban areas, while Xiaomi SU7′ s intelligent driving mainly relies on suppliers such as Hesai Technology and NVIDIA, which is still slightly inferior to Huawei.

The most important thing is that Zhijie S7 has made a comeback and made great efforts in "instant delivery". After solving the capacity crisis, it may be able to compete with Xiaomi SU7.

As Lei Jun himself said, the success of Xiaomi SU7 mainly lies in the success of Xiaomi mode and Xiaomi methodology. At the marketing level, Xiaomi SU7 is indeed out of the circle. Even Huawei, which has always been cold, can’t help but catch the heat of Xiaomi. But can Xiaomi SU7 really catch this spilt traffic? It is still an unknown number.
