In 2016, the total box office of North American movies was $11.4 billion, and Disney topped the list.

Finding Nemo 2 and Grand Theft Auto 1


1905 movie network news In 2016, the North American film market experienced a wonderful year, with the total box office revenue reaching $11.4 billion, a record high. The box office record of $11.1 billion in 2015 is dead.

 

It is reported that the data comes from ComScore, a well-known American internet statistics company. The attendance data has not been calculated, but the company’s analysts believe that the attendance rate in 2016 will be the same as that in 2015. Without counting inflation, the realization of the box office record in 2016 benefited from high ticket prices. At the beginning of 2016, the ticket price of North American movies once reached a new high point, but the average ticket price for the whole year has yet to be calculated.

 

This record exceeded the expectations of the industry, especially the lack of "007" and two blockbuster series last year.

 

2016 was Disney’s strongest year, with its North American box office exceeding $3 billion, accounting for more than a quarter of the annual market share, and it was also the one with the least film distribution among the six major Hollywood companies.

 

Produced by Disney and Pixar, and released by Disney, the North American box office reached 486.3 million US dollars, ranking first in the North American annual box office. If you count the box office receipts in 2016 (released in North America on December 18, 2015), six of the top ten box office charts in 2016 are Disney movies.

 

The other four Disney movies are: (408.2 million dollars, up to 2016.12.31), (408.1 million dollars), (364 million dollars) and (341 million dollars).


Hot Search: A Great Anti-cyber Violence Movie.

 Author: Hu Jianli

The film "Hot Search" tells the story behind a "girl’s bullying on campus" incident. By launching an online public opinion war, the heroine finally reveals the criminal truth of the real abuser, which not only has ups and downs and many reversals, but also reveals how online public opinion is incited and used.

In the current complex network public opinion environment in China, the release of this film is just the right time, which well reflects the presence and timeliness of film and television works, has a strong social practical significance, and has a warning effect on the majority of netizens. It is a realistic genre film with novel ideas and thought-provoking.

In 2013, Xin Yukun, a 29-year-old young director, won the Best Director Award at the 8th FIRST Youth Film Festival and the Best New Director nomination at the 51st Taiwan Film Golden Horse Award for his blockbuster suspense film Heart Maze. In 2017, the crime suspense film "Breaking Silent" directed by him also enjoyed a good reputation, with 8.2 points for Douban and 54.25 million yuan at the box office.

In the above two films, Xin Yukun showed his exquisite multi-line circuitous narrative ability and unique cold realistic image style. Hot Search is the third cinema film directed by him independently, which also has suspense and criminal elements. The difference is that the story takes place in contemporary China metropolis, focusing on hot social topics such as online public opinion, online violence and sexual assault, which is more likely to resonate with young audiences.

This time, Xin Yukun took the initiative to change the theme and background of the story, and adopted a typological narrative technique that was more in line with the aesthetics of ordinary audiences. He told a story that was not very complicated, which was exciting and full of twists and turns, and was quite ornamental and topical, showing his strong narrative ability as always.Compared with the previous two works, Hot Search is a mature commercial film, but the background color of sharp observation of social reality and concern for vulnerable groups has not changed.

At the beginning of the film, Chen Miao, the editor-in-chief of the media played by Zhou Dongyu, published an explosive article on "Girls’ Campus Bullying" on the large-scale operated by his team, and also talked proudly about the skills of inciting online public opinion at the pre-editing meeting: "If netizens want to scold Zhang Xiaosui, we will provide scolding points". Unexpectedly, the girl Zhang Xiaosui committed suicide by jumping off a building after encountering cyber violence. Before jumping off the building, she sent a letter to Chen Miao to explain the hidden feelings. Chen Miaocai knew that she had been accidentally used as a gun. Although she had a desire for traffic and an ambition to become bigger and stronger from the media, she was a media person with conscience at heart. In order to make amends and get justice for Zhang Xiaosui, with the help of her colleagues, she burned her bridges and launched a just online public opinion war with Justin.

The framework of the whole story is not complicated, but the advantages are full and vivid details, exquisite narrative techniques, foreshadowing from time to time, and even sharp contrast between the hero and heroine, leaving some suspense until the last moment. Although it is not difficult to guess, because the focus of this film is not to create a suspense atmosphere, it enhances the drama and appreciation of the film.

Through the superb typological narrative skills presented in Hot Search, Xin Yukun once again proved himself to be a master narrator among the new generation directors in China, who can not only tell complex stories clearly, but also tell simple stories twists and turns.

Although Hot Search is a commercial film, it has a sharp observation and vivid description of the current chaos of online public opinion in China, showing reflection on online violence, criticism of those who are rich and heartless, and sympathy for the vulnerable groups.

In recent years, some plots in TV series, such as The Beginning and Imperfect Victims, have expressed and reflected on the phenomenon of cyber violence. However, on the big screen, except for a film "Search" directed by Chen Kaige in 2012, few works with this theme have met the audience. "Hot Search" can be called the most complete, complete and profound domestic film that shows the chaos of network public opinion and the phenomenon of network violence so far, and it has great social practical significance.

The film describes in detail the whole process of Chen Miao’s self-media and the investors behind it inciting and using online public opinion, and shows the audience the complete processing process of "hot search" one after another, which has a certain behind-the-scenes nature.

In the film, as an influential editor-in-chief from the media, Chen Miao’s mantra when she first appeared was "There are hot spots that cannot be ignored". In order to attract fans’ attention and reading, and win investors to increase investment, she broke the news about the video with ulterior motives, deliberately incited speculation without investigation and verification, and concocted the topic of "girl bullying on campus" into a hot search, which triggered cyber violence against Zhang Xiaosui, a girl who was pushed by netizens. Unexpectedly, as Zhang Xiaosui committed suicide by jumping off a building, online public opinion reversed, and netizens began to accuse Chen Miao of eating "human blood steamed bread" from the media. Chen Miao had a brainwave and quickly came up with a new trick: throwing a pot at a swearing netizen, interviewing Zhang Xiaosui’s mother, and using the video of the other side’s tears, not only earned another wave of traffic, but also successfully washed himself.

The wolf has a winning game when the shepherds quarrel. Chen Miao’s self-media farewell concoction of hot search and harvest traffic is just a pawn of the boss of the investor behind it, and Chen Miao is still complacent when he is shot by others. Subsequently, Chen Miao launched an online public opinion war with the other party to uncover the truth. The two sides constantly broke the news, and the public opinion reversed several times. Justice was once forced to the rescue …

The online public opinion war described in Hot Search not only makes the audience who are not familiar with online hype look thrilling, but also makes everyone alert: sometimes the so-called facts you see online are not necessarily the facts, and the so-called truth you see is not necessarily the truth. Each of us should maintain the ability of independent thinking, be objective and rational when speaking online, and don’t become an accomplice of cyber violence.

One of the most heartbreaking news in the first half of this year was that a primary school student in Hubei was knocked down by a car and killed. In the process of seeking advice from the school, his mother was attacked and insulted by some netizens because of her good image and elegant dress. In the end, the distraught and unbearable mother committed suicide by jumping off a building at the first seven hours of her child.

How to make the cyber violence that Hubei’s mother encountered before her death not happen again? How to make the cyber violence that Zhang Xiaosui encountered in the film not repeat itself? The film "Hot Search" has played a very good role in alerting the majority of netizens. I hope everyone can learn from it, consciously oppose cyber violence and jointly create a clean and tidy network public opinion environment.

320 kinds of Chinese roses were planted at the door of a florist’s house.

  Residents take photos and smell the fragrance among the rose flowers. Reporter Wang Liting photo

  Longsha Gem, Juliet, Royal Rouge, Eve Wine Cellar … … In front of an open courtyard in Huilong Garden Community, Houhu Street, Jiang ‘an District, 320 kinds of Chinese roses compete for beauty. On the morning of the 13th, residents shuttled among the rose flowers to take photos and smell the fragrance, as if they were in a small rose garden. In the richness and profusion of flowers, the neighborhood relationship in the community is also more harmonious.

  She is like collecting stamps.

  Collect 320 kinds of Chinese roses

  The reporter walked into the rose garden along the stone road, and the mixed flowers came to my face. Vines, shrubs and miniature roses came into view, with flowers and fragrance.

  "I am 47 years old. After my daughter went to college in 2020, I began to grow Chinese roses." Chen Ting introduced, "There are not only many varieties of roses, but also a long flowering period, which is very suitable for flower arrangement, so I began to plant roses."

  "I tried to plant 20 pots at first, and the results were very good, which gave me confidence." Chen Ting told reporters that she often watches flowers growing videos online, learns how to grow Chinese roses, and becomes more and more skilled in flower growing technology. Every time the nursery grows new roses, she always buys a few. "This feeling is like collecting stamps, more and more. Later, I couldn’t stop, and before I know it, there were 320 varieties."

  Only one plant is left for each variety, and the rest are given to friends. This is Chen Ting’s principle of raising Chinese rose flowers. "I like to try new varieties and want to see the difference between new varieties and classic varieties." Chen Ting said that due to the limited space, the remaining roses were carefully screened.

  "It is hot in Leng Xia in winter and short in spring. European and European varieties such as juice balcony, parade and Miranda are very suitable for planting here." Chen Ting introduced that different varieties of Chinese rose have different requirements for light and temperature, and they have to buy them for trial planting to know whether they are suitable for Wuhan’s climate. In daily observation, she has summed up the rose varieties that perform better and have good skin and good nutrition under the climatic conditions in Wuhan. "I often share my planting experience and experience with flower friends, hoping to make them take fewer detours in the process of planting roses."

  Watering, fertilizing, spraying, pruning, cleaning yellow leaves and pulling branches, Chen Ting works in the garden for at least 6 hours every day. After a long period of work, Chen Ting’s arms were covered with scratches of different lengths. "There are many thorns in the rose, and it is common for the arm to be scratched." With a photosensitive skin disease, she often relapses dermatitis, but she is still enthusiastic about raising flowers.

  Residents and properties

  Help manage the "Rose Garden"

  "When the flowers are in full bloom, she will invite us to enjoy the flowers and often cut them for us." Resident Zhang Ping said that with this garden, neighbors often walk around, enjoy flowers, walk and take photos, and the neighborhood relationship is more harmonious. "We will also bring friends to enjoy the flowers, and residents in the nearby community will come to punch in."

  During the flower viewing, Chen Ting will explain the varieties and characteristics of flowers. "She is a flower grower in our community, and we often turn to her when we are confused in the process of growing flowers ‘ Learn from the scriptures ’ 。” Resident Zhou Cuiping told reporters that flower friends usually go to the flower and bird market to choose flowers and see flowers.

  "I have only moved to the community for two years. I have met many neighbors through raising flowers and made many flower friends." Chen Ting recalled that at the end of 2021, Tan Heqing, the master gardener of the property, and the community flower friends spontaneously came to help prune the Chinese rose in winter. "The task of pruning and clearing the garden originally took two weeks, but it was all completed in two days."

  Chen Ting named the garden "Ian’s Rose Garden", symbolizing beauty and happiness. "I feel very comfortable enjoying flowers, drinking tea and chatting with flower friends in the garden on weekdays."

  Flowers bloom in the garden all the year round. Chen Ting’s enthusiasm also gained a lot of warmth by sending cut flowers every day and cutting branches in winter. The warm greeting when we meet, the flower friends who accompany us to chat when we take care of the garden, and the homemade sauerkraut presented by the neighborhood & HELIP; … Every little bit of daily life promotes the feelings between neighbors a little bit.

  "The beauty of the garden needs to be discovered and appreciated by everyone." Chen Ting said that in the future, she intends to continue to introduce new varieties and improve the scenery of the garden, so that neighbors who also love life can have a more comfortable and beautiful viewing experience.

Decoding the Amazon empire: don’t fight Bezos

Tiger Sniff Note: Matt Ward is an angel investor, start-up consultant, entrepreneur, writer and cryptographer. He published an article on thinkgrowth, detailing the development strategies of the four major science and technology giants in the world today. This article is the first in this series, and the original text isAmazon: The Company Consuming ConsumersInterested friends can click to read.

Compile | Crow Mounted Police

Today’s Amazon looks unstoppable.

The online book buying company founded by Bezos can now be said to be the most dominant and diversified enterprise in the world. At present, their goal is to become the first enterprise in the world with a market value of $1 trillion.

People in the scientific and technological circles have already reached a consensus on the greatness of Amazon, but this is not the case in the eyes of the public. There are still many misunderstandings about this company, so it is necessary for us to study it deeply.

Amazon’s empire today

Unlike most of the Fortune 500 companies, Amazon is characterized by diversification. Most companies only rely on one or two explosive products, butAmazon owns an entire army.. Supporting this "military empire" are "five pillars": Amazon website, Amazon AWS cloud service, Alexa smart speaker, Whole Foods Supermarket and Amazon Prime service.

 

One of these five businesses is enough to amaze the world; So once they are combined, the final "completed body" must be the largest commercial ship in the world.

In order to better understand this behemoth, you need to know about this "five pillars" first.

1. Amazon Mall: the world’s number one e-commerce supermarket

In the eyes of westerners, Amazon is the most monopolistic enterprise in the world, and its position can almost be said to be unshakable. Take a simple data: last year, their revenue was $136 billion, with a double-digit growth rate.

What is even more frightening is that this company is expanding their market territory almost every year. At present, Amazon has won the top 10 major markets in the world. In addition to the earliest North America and Europe, Japanese, China and Indian in Asia also have their footprints. At present, they are establishing a new "base area" in Australia.

More importantly, the train of e-commerce is still roaring forward. Thanks to the strong logistics system construction and the blessing of third-party sellers on the platform, Amazon has actually become a full-category online mall. According to 2017 data, Amazon accounts for 44% of the US e-commerce; And they have increased by at least 13% every year for the past five years.

This growth is not limited to the United States. In Amazon’s total revenue in 2016, 35.5% was contributed by overseas markets; In 2015, this figure was 34%. In the end, the double harvest in domestic and international markets contributed to the soaring of Amazon’s stock.

But there is one project that needs to be pointed out in particular, and that is Amazon Besi.(Amazon Basics). For sellers who have done business on this platform, Amazon Basics is definitely an ugly word. The platform was originally a gathering place for Amazon’s third-party sellers, but Amazon officials secretly collected the sales data of these sellers, found the most popular products, and then launched "counterfeit products" on their own main platform.

I have seen dozens of products "fortunately" copied by Amazon; I have also witnessed many friends being suppressed by Amazon in this way. exactly,Besides consumers, the only thing Amazon cares about is its main platform.This dirty trick against third-party sellers also indicates Amazon’s future business thinking: now, all third-party sellers on Amazon Besi have been replaced by Amazon’s own business-yes, Amazon only wants to monopolize consumers, and they don’t even want to leave any profits to others.

This kind of thinking is not only aimed at sellers, but also at buyers. For sellers, of course, entering Amazon will get considerable benefits, but Amazon is like junk food. Occasionally, it may taste great, but long-term consumption will bury health risks for itself. Brands are scrambling to squeeze into Amazon, which is nothing more than taking a fancy to hundreds of millions of consumers on the platform; But what they don’t know is that this kind of attempt is actually to quench thirst by drinking poison. Although entering Amazon can bring short-term benefits, in the long run, it is more likely to lose money.

The market is dead. Because the platform builder has become a market competitor.

Excessive support for self-operated products objectively reduces consumers’ choice space, and also makes Amazon’s bargaining power continue to rise. So for consumers, this is not a good thing.

2. AWS: the world’s first network service company

Although Amazon’s e-commerce business is already extremely powerful, in contrast, AWS’s performance is even more eye-catching.(Note: I personally think that Amazon should divest AWS business as soon as possible before the regulatory authorities start to implement anti-monopoly measures)

The purpose of Amazon to build AWS is to better serve its own market. They need AWS to empower Amazon.com with excellent image and information processing capabilities. Only in this way can Bezos be Bezos, and Amazon’s products can maintain their consistent modular style.

AWS is growing, and Amazon Mall is constantly cutting prices. Obviously, this is to crack down on competitors in the same industry, and one of the final results is to make AWS more competitive in the market.

 "Your profit is my opportunity"-Jeff Bezos

Today, 42% of websites are supported by AWS. This figure is even more than the combined market share of cloud services of Microsoft, Google and IBM.

However, considering that AWS is easy to use and reasonably priced, this result is not surprising.

Similar to the e-commerce business, the growth trend of AWS shows no signs of slowing down at all. At present, this business has accounted for 10% of Amazon’s total revenue, and the revenue in the third quarter of 2017 was 4.6 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 42%; Net profit reached $1.2 billion, an increase of 12% over the same period in 2016.

The foundation of most websites is based on Amazon’s infrastructure.

3. Alexa: the world’s number one voice assistant

In 2014, Amazon’s "Monster Family" was added.

For those who have no need to buy books, Amazon is not in a hurry.,Because they will always find a way to include you in their network, so in the end you will realize that,The goal of this company is to win all customers.

And Alexa is the concrete embodiment of this ambition. With the sudden explosion of Alexa products, Amazon spies can finally sneak into your home.

Want to know why I say this?

Just ask a simple question: "How do you buy things?"

Alexa exists to replace all products, and its goal is to make you buy everything smoothly and seamlessly. Compared with voice communication, the mode of clicking and ordering is too primitive.

 "Hey, Alexa, we’re out of toothbrushes and toilet paper … by the way, buy another cotton ball!"

For Amazon, the subtlety of Alexa lies in choice.  

In the past, most users would choose their favorite brands when shopping in Amazon official website; But now, the appearance of Alexa will change this habit. As the above example shows, when a user wants to order Alexa to buy some daily necessities, he will generally only declare to the latter that he wants to buy a certain type of product, without emphasizing the specific brand of the product. So over time, users will find that almost everything they buy comes from the same platform-Amazon Besi.(Because Alexa’s default shopping platform is this). Since Amazon Besi has become the sales platform of Amazon’s self-operated products, this consumption habit cultivated by Alexa will eventually enable Amazon to successfully defeat other well-known brands on its own platform.

I know that many users love Echo mainly because of Alexa’s wonderful voice. But I have to tell you that this is just a means for Amazon to achieve its goal, and their real goal, as I said above, is to be the only provider of your daily necessities. At present, Alexa’s work is progressing smoothly. According to the data provided by Amazon, in the third quarter of last year alone, they sold more than 20 million Echo sets. I can’t imagine how much this number will increase on holidays …

Further, what if Amazon decides to provide you with food?

4. Whole Foods Supermarket: the 10th grocery store in the world.

Oh, wait, Amazon bought Whole Foods Supermarket for about $13 billion in 2017. So now, things become more interesting …

In a word, Amazon has bought a complete sales network with complete functions and balanced supply and demand.

Amazon’s ambition to covet the food retail industry has long existed, but because of transportation problems and food preservation problems, Amazon’s previous efforts ended in failure. The acquisition of Total Foods is a new opportunity for Amazon. Thanks to the complete supply chain of Whole Foods, Amazon can greatly reduce the supply risk and provide various food products for online customers. Of course, there will be some bad situations, for example, some ham and cheese can not be sold online; But this is just as well. Amazon will choose to significantly reduce the prices of these products in physical stores to clean up the inventory.

The addition of the whole food will also make more new scenes in the interaction between users and Alexa, such as:

 "Hey, Alexa, I want a gallon of milk, a loaf of bread, two barrels of yogurt and a jar of peanut butter. In addition, my recipe also includes pizza crust, ketchup and pepperoni. Please add these to my shopping cart! "

Similar scenes can lead to more possibilities. A realistic and reasonable imagination is that Amazon uses AI to recommend many dishes for you according to your favorites, and you are responsible for checking the dishes tonight, while Amazon will automatically place an order for you. Buy ingredients. What do you think? Is it interesting?

Now you can see why the market value of major supermarket chains evaporated by $13 billion after the acquisition was completed …

5. Amazon Prime: the second video service platform in the world; The sixth music streaming media service platform in the world

 The last of Amazon’s five pillars business is a bit complicated. On the one hand, Amazon Prime provides free 2-day delivery service in the United States, on the other hand, it is a streaming media entertainment content platform.

This is an excellent "flywheel connector". Research shows that the average spending of Prime customers is twice that of non-members.($1,300 vs $700)But if Amazon decides to reduce the membership fee to $7.99/month, they may earn more.

The reason lies in Prime Music and Prime Video. Both of these services provide unlimited free streaming services, which enable all authorized and original content of Amazon to compete directly with services such as Spotify and Netflix.

Although there is less original content on the Prime platform at present, and the quantity is less than those of Amazon’s competitors, the key point is-free. As we all know, free services can firmly bind users to Amazon’s product ecosystem.

If you can get 2-day free mail service without using Netflix and Spotify, I guess you will definitely check more products.

It is estimated that there are currently 63 million families in the United States who are Prime members, accounting for about 35% of the total population. Prime service increased Amazon’s recurring revenue by $1.9 billion in the first quarter of 2017, and doubled the purchase volume of almost every household-but this is not enough. For the number of members, Amazon’s principle is only four words: the more the better.

Amazon has "five pillars of business", any of which is enough to stand tall.

But the story is not over yet, and Amazon still has broad future development opportunities.

Amazon’s growth opportunities

Looking ahead, Amazon’s strong leadership and foresight are enough to make them invincible in the competition. The five main businesses all have great development potential and will usher in strong growth in the future.

However, Amazon is not satisfied with this. They are investing heavily in the next potential opportunity. Let’s take a look at them one by one:

1. Expand the market territory of Amazon Besi.

As mentioned above, Amazon Besi is the ultimate answer of Amazon Empire. Control the end-to-end service and you win everything. At present, although Amazon has invested a lot of resources in this business, they still have a long way to go.

As of December 14, 2017, Amazon Besi had 1,500 products.(300 models in 2013)However, with reference to the 480 million products of Amazon official website, the improvement space of Amazon Basics is full of imagination.

2. divest AWS business

I have always believed that Amazon is on the cusp of regulation. Although unlike Facebook, Google and Twitter, it is often at the forefront of public opinion, Amazon has approached the red line of supervision in many fields, naturally because of alleged monopoly.

As people and legislators gradually deepen their understanding of the Internet industry, it is only a matter of time before relevant departments get involved in Amazon. Prior to this, Amazon should pre-empt the AWS cloud service and stay away from the attention of antitrust agencies. After all, AWS is the only one of Amazon’s five branches that does not focus on business and logistics; This business is also the most suitable for independent development among the "five pillars".

Once the business divestiture is completed, the possibility of government intervention will be greatly reduced. What’s more, we all know that no matter what Amazon does, its share price will rise. Therefore, it can be predicted that the total market value of the new company and Amazon parent company after AWS independence is likely to exceed the current figure of 604 billion US dollars.

3. Expand the offline retail industry

Amazon seems to have made up its mind to build an offline physical retail store. Although the one-click online shopping model has made them earn a lot of money, they are also very aware of the importance of offline shopping experience. Some people think that once the physical retail store is completed, Amazon.com will become an important hub for users’ offline conversion rate and sales promotion; And Amazon’s offline stores will in turn boost the turnover of Amazon official website.

I basically agree with this statement. After all, Americans really like to try on clothes in offline stores. In my previous article, I also mentioned that if you really want to build a physical store, then the goods in the store must have at least one of the following two characteristics:

4. Increase the proportion of video content

Have you seen The Big Sick? This is a movie made by Amazon Studio, and the producer is Kumail Nanjiani. For a long time, I thought it was one of the most wonderful movies I have ever seen.

In 2017, Amazon spent $4.5 billion on original content. They saw the defeat of Netflix(market value of 90.57 billion US dollars)Hope, and the weapon is the original video program on Prime Video. Yes, Amazon has realized that streaming media is the future of video entertainment content.

As Amazon constantly updates its own video library, their evergreen content will not only please old customers, but also continuously contribute new members to Amazon Prime.

In a content(attention)For the king’s world, Amazon has successfully owned users’ hearts, brains and wallets.


5. Pay attention to the food industry

After winning Whole Foods Supermarket for $13 billion, the market value of American grocery industry reached $800 billion, which is six times that of Amazon’s global sales.

This contrast is obviously meaningful. However, if Amazon wants to succeed in this vast market, it must concentrate on properly allocating resources. I believe that if the decision is correct, Amazon has the opportunity to quadruple its sales in the next few years.

6. March into the pharmaceutical industry

The pharmaceutical industry is a big business in the United States, and Amazon certainly knows it. It is reported that Amazon’s actions in the pharmaceutical industry have aroused the concerns of major pharmaceutical companies such as CVS and Walgreens.

It is estimated that by 2021, the US prescription drug market will reach $610 billion. This market is close to the food retail industry. Considering that Amazon has the best logistics system in the world, if they choose to enter the pharmaceutical industry, it will be as easy as taking a walk in a nearby park.

Once there are generic drugs of Amazon brand, how many consumers will go to those inconvenient and expensive pharmacies?

It’s time to push some pills.

Other elements to consider.

I wrote in my previous article about how technology giants beat start-ups in the way they are best at; As I mentioned before, Amazon is definitely an expert in this respect: few companies are as ready to deal with all kinds of subversive changes as they are.

leadership

Amazon is one of the best managed companies in the world.

There are many reasons for this conclusion. Amazon follows a result-oriented corporate culture and encourages employees to take risks. The company pays attention to consumers, welcomes constructive criticism, and its employees have a sense of ownership.

Of course, you may think that the above words are exaggerated, but if you have a chance to observe them carefully, you will find that Amazon is really practicing the rules they have made.

Besides, Jeff Bezos did some other things. One of the most important things is the emphasis on commitment. Bezos requires employees to be firm and have strong mobility.

As you can see, whether it is the acquisition of Whole Foods or the announcement of its entry into the pharmaceutical industry, Amazon can gain immediate market recognition in almost every action. In the eyes of the public, Bezos has never missed it.

The ruthless, safe and reliable image carefully created by Bezos allows Amazon to transcend the temptation of short-term profits and always leave enough room for future development.

Of course, this also allows Bezos himself to hold a 17% stake in the company and become a veritable helm of this huge ship.

automation

Have you seen Amazon’s warehouse? If not, I suggest you watch the relevant videos.

The operational efficiency and automation level of Amazon warehouse are unmatched by others. Here, everything will be accurately measured, which enables them to try their best to reduce costs while still ensuring the high quality of products. In the case of large-scale production, this means higher unit economic benefits.

artificial intelligence

I just want to say: Amazon has the best AI experts in the world.

Whether it’s those guys who study Alexa, engineers who do millions of A/B experiments every day, or experts who focus on product recommendation system … Let’s just say that in terms of data processing ability and machine learning, the only one that can compete with Amazon is Google.

strategic acquisitions

Although Amazon has become the world’s top technology company.(if not the best in the world)However, their bank accounts are slightly smaller than those of other competitors in the industry: $22 billion in deposits prevents Amazon from making aggressive acquisitions.

However, after the acquisition of Total Foods last year, Amazon’s stock soared by 32%. This fully demonstrates the market’s trust in Bezos. Based on this reality, if Amazon decides to invest this $22 billion for a strategic acquisitions in the future, the market is likely to give positive feedback again.

Here are six areas where Amazon may make strategic investments:

1. Video industry

As a result, Amazon has invested more and more in Prime Video, and the competition with Netflix has become more and more fierce. The acquisition of a video production company is in line with business logic for Amazon, and there are many potential candidates who meet the standards.

At present, Amazon seems to be unable to afford Netflix. However, if this acquisition really happens, the consequence will be to completely kill cable TV and make Amazon an entertainment content industry.(and other related industries)The czar.

With Disney taking Hulu and time warner Inc. taking HBO, these two acquisitions are hopeless. If Amazon can win one of them before them, it will definitely be a huge victory.

Amazon’s most realistic goals at present should be the smaller film studios and the original video producers on YouTube. As we all know, YouTube is full of various and different styles of video content. If Amazon can attract all those video producers with different styles, then Prime Video can meet the needs of most users in terms of content.(You may even drag users on YouTube.)At the same time, the organic combination of long and short content will also hit Netflix and YouTube indiscriminately.

2. Music industry

Like video, Prime Music is also an important driving force for the expansion of Prime subscription service. Therefore, there is no doubt that investing in music is in line with the development plan of Amazon executives.

But unlike video, the price of buying a music company is lower, but the profit may be more considerable.

As the most commonly used music streaming service platform in the United States(I mean the free version)Pandora’s market value is only $1.33 billion. If it is acquired, Amazon will usher in a big change. The giant can make a big fuss between distribution and licensing agreement, and either one will give them more subscribers.

Another potential acquisition target is SoundCloud, a streaming music platform that is rumored to be bankrupt almost every few months. However, although they haven’t found a clear business realization idea, joining Amazon will be a win-win result for both parties.

Because SoundCloud is an interesting plug-and-play component, it fits well with Amazon’s existing platform foundation and user habits.

Up to now, SoundCloud has received $467 million in financing. However, it is not worth the price now. This affordable acquisition can reward investors and boost Amazon’s greater success.

Not only that, SoundCloud can also provide Amazon with the opportunity to enter the podcasting industry.(Another field with great potential).

3. Giant entity Shangchao

In stark contrast to the booming e-commerce industry, the traditional retail industry is increasingly depressed. However, if Amazon decides to enter the physical retail industry, then direct acquisition is obviously more cost-effective than self-built stores. The cooperation with Target will be a mutually beneficial cooperation, which is equivalent to a fatal blow to the common rival of the two companies-Wal-Mart.

Target has 1,828 branches in North America, although in Amazon’s view, these stores may be too big.(resulting in high maintenance cost)But this is not a big problem. Target’s distribution ability, storage space and sales ability are the key to attracting Amazon. Especially, considering the market value of Target is only $37.58 billion.(Only about 1/9 of Wal-Mart’s)Amazon can afford such an acquisition.

Add another fact: Target’s old customers are also Amazon’s ideal customers..

4. Fashion industry enterprises

Amazon is expanding into the fashion industry. Different from many other products, clothes in the fashion industry are not only fit, but also glamorous.

It is precisely because of this that the significance of clothing stores lies not in function, but in feeling; The driving force of sales is not the clothes themselves, but the try-on experience. Putting on beautiful tops and tight jeans is the fundamental reason why people are willing to pay.

So, if Amazon decides not to buy a full-category retailer,(such as Target)Instead of focusing on the fashion industry itself, Nordstrom is a good choice. This luxury clothing store has 349 branches in North America, and its market value is only $8 billion, which is similar to that of Whole Foods.

In addition to Nordstrom, Kohl, Macy, J.C., and Penney can also be included in the shortlist.

Don’t forget Amazon Besi, their goal has always been to turn all good products into their own. Through such an acquisition, Amazon designers can get closer to customers and quickly iterate on fashion trends across the country.

Realistically speaking, Amazon’s fashion ambition is still difficult to see, but we might as well give them two years to see if this online shopping giant can also win a place in the fashion world..

5. "Wild Ace" shared travel

This seemingly wild idea is not wild at all. Considering the huge potential of the taxi industry and Uber, it is definitely an ideal choice to win Lyft now. Let me explain to you why:

At present, the unit economic benefit of carpooling business is not good. Because of the dual characteristics of localization and globalization at the same time, the war between taxi companies can occur in every city in the world, and in the end, it is difficult for both sides to make a profit.

But what about brand advertising? How much value will it bring to your brand if the advertisement in the taxi can attract passengers’ attention?

From this perspective, Lyft is likely to become Amazon’s "sales engine".

In South Africa, Uber drivers often put a screen in the car that can play advertisements, so as to bring higher customers to Uber. Amazon can also learn from this promotion form, whether by signing a cooperation agreement or direct acquisition, Amazon can make a fortune. By understanding the positioning information of passengers, Amazon can promote their Prime Music and Video services in the local area, and also promote the sales of the online shopping platform itself. In other words, Lyft can become Amazon’s "high value-added old driver".

In addition, Amazon can also increase the bet on the Prime service, so that members can get more discounts when using Lyft to take a taxi. This will not only further tap the potential of Lyft, but also increase the number of Prime users.

Even if you think that "car ownership is dead" and "driverless is the future", it will not affect Amazon’s income in this field. To be exact, the popularity of self-driving cars will give Amazon more space to plan and arrange passengers’ "car life".

6. The telecommunications giant of Wild Ace

Imagine what would happen if Amazon won the Sprint? I know it is the smallest compared with other telecom giants, but Rao, Sprint also has 50.4 million customers.

Another important message is that Amazon itself is a platform for many users to buy mobile phones. Think about it, if Amazon says that you can get a month’s free phone service on Sprint by buying a mobile phone on the platform.(or other attractive conditions)Guess how many people will be willing to "take the bait"?

Because you have free advertisements on your own platform.(I mean Whole Foods). Amazon can easily carry out mobile sales services.(After all, most retail stores have started to handle prepaid package business now.).

Sprint is currently valued at 22.76 billion, which Amazon can still afford. This acquisition will have a significant impact on the existing competitive landscape of the telecommunications industry. Considering Amazon’s consistent style-lowering prices and reducing profits-users are likely to flock to Sprint, which will certainly increase the added value of this acquisition and effectively attack competitors.

grade

In fact, it is difficult for me to give Amazon any score except A+, but considering some unstable factors of the company itself and the potential impact of decentralized blockchain start-ups,I think the grade A is more reasonable.

In fact, Amazon has only two weaknesses: one is the potential regulatory risk, and the other is the high operating cost. Although I haven’t mentioned the latter in this article, it is still a topic worth discussing.

As of now, Amazon still does not have it.(although it is close)Profit. And that’s why Bezos can’t get an A+ from me. Although the market is still saying that "it doesn’t matter whether it is profitable or not", we all know that the climate may change at any time. Once the capital market changes dramatically and Amazon is affected, their stocks are likely to be turbulent.

But even so, I am still optimistic about Amazon. Welcome the future monopolist, he is Mr. Jeff Bezos.

tag

Amazon is really a great enterprise.

This "five-headed dragon" occupies a dominant position in almost all his fields. Never go against Bezos, you won’t get good results.

Comment | A large amount of data in new drug trials is suspected of fraud? Don’t trifle with drug safety.

  CCTV News:In the process of medical clinical experiments, in order to observe the safety and metabolic process of drugs, it is necessary to test drugs on healthy people, and professional drug testers came into being. Recently, a survey on "Drug Testers Pass the Physical Examination by Controlled Intermediary" said that every link of subjects, intermediaries and pharmaceutical companies "may be counterfeiters".

△ On October 31st, an intermediary was recruited in a 3A hospital in Beijing to check the subjects’ ID cards. (Photo/Beijing News)

  "Drug Testers Pass Physical Examination by Controlled Intermediary"(Excerpt from the report)

  Drug testers muddle through the physical examination

  It is not uncommon for the subjects to cheat in clinical trials of drugs, especially to get away with it in physical examination.

  Various methods of muddle through are popular among the subjects: smokers want to pass the urine test, and they can drop one or two drops of white vinegar during the urine test; Use 10 times the dosage of bifendate to deal with the drinking problem, so that transaminase will become normal; For another example, you can get away with it in another hospital by applying some liquid foundation to the needle holes of your arms. Some subjects swallowed the medicine in front of the doctor and then spit it out after leaving the doctor’s sight.

  The clinical examination of drug testing goes through the motions

  Screening subjects require a 5-day interval, that is, they cannot participate in the next hospital screening … … On December 7th, the reporter went to Beijing No.1, No.3 and No.3 Hospital for a medical examination. Because he registered for a medical examination in another hospital on the 6th, it was still in the interval when checking his ID card. After a simple inquiry, the nurse indicated that the interval could be changed. After simple operation, the reporter’s ID card passed the hospital system and he can continue the medical examination.

△ On November 3rd, in a major hospital in Beijing, the doctor screened the eye of the needle for the subjects during the physical examination of drug testing. (Photo/Beijing News)

  In addition, in order to let a subject whose body mass index exceeded the standard pass the screening, the hospital nurse took her to measure her weight on several high-weight machines several times, until the data on the machines met the standard, and then printed the results.

  The efficacy and safety of drugs mainly depend on clinical trial data. However, it is doubtful whether the clinical data provided by drug testers in the report can be true and effective and become qualified clinical trial data of new drugs.

  Nearly 70% of clinical trial data of new drugs are untrue and incomplete.

  At present, the hospital or relevant departments have not expressed their views on this survey from the media. However, since last year, china food and drug administration has checked the clinical trial data of some drugs that have been declared to be produced or imported for trial, and also found some problems.

  According to the data of official website of the State Food and Drug Administration, as of March 1, 2016, due to the untrue and incomplete clinical trial data, the number of drug registration applications rejected by the State Food and Drug Administration and withdrawn by pharmaceutical companies for self-examination was as high as 1,184, accounting for 73% of the total number required for self-examination. If 165 clinical exemptions are deducted, the proportion is as high as 80%. According to a survey conducted by China Journal of Clinical Pharmacology in 2013 on domestic experimental institutions, the rate of irregular experimental records was 85. 7%.

  Cctv review

  New drug trial data fraud, must be zero tolerance!

  It has been some time since the falsification of drug clinical trial data was exposed. This is by no means a "cold" that can heal itself, but a serious illness that must be treated as soon as possible.

  Do not forget your initiative mind, an effective producer supervisor to ensure drug safety.

  It is the common expectation of all patients to get rid of the disease, and a true, standardized and complete clinical trial is the source guarantee of drug safety and effectiveness. Once the clinical fraud, the drug is "three-point poison" without listing. Historically, there have been many new drugs that have been put into production quickly without strict clinical trials, such as the use of penicillin. But that was forced by the situation. It was another kind of conscience to actively put into production in World War II just to seize life against time. Today, there is no such space-time environment. Today’s drug conscience is the most scientific and serious attitude. As Bi Jingquan, director of the State Food and Drug Administration, wrote, "Neither producers nor regulators can forget the initial intention of ensuring the safety and effectiveness of drugs." 

  The chain of links is out of control, making fake data an opportunity.

  In the article, Bi Jingquan also mentioned that "for the problem of data fraud, we must use ‘ Zero tolerance ’ Attitude. " New drug trials can be done by one party alone, and it is often not the responsibility of one party to get away with data fraud. The reason is often because of the chain out of control from pharmaceutical companies to clinical trial contract organizations (CRO), from researchers in clinical trial institutions to regulatory authorities. On the road of new drug testing, pharmaceutical companies are desperately in a hurry, the experimenter helps to open the "green light", and the regulator does not issue a ticket in time, which leads to such a result. 

 

△ data map

  Prolonging life and saving life need to ask drugs for curative effect, and curative effect is the "life" of drugs. Once the hidden rules of fabricating data, tampering with data and concealing data become popular, the medical ethics that takes life seriously will have nowhere to go. The script should not be taken like this. If the pharmaceutical company as the applicant can strictly fulfill its supervisory responsibilities in accordance with the Good Practice for Clinical Trial Quality (GCP); If the clinical trial contract organization (CRO) entrusted by the applicant is not blinded by interests; If clinical trial researchers can not forget the awe of doctors, if clinical trial institutions check the research results, and if some drug regulatory authorities do not become a mere formality in on-site inspection of clinical trials … … If these were established one after another, there would be no such problem. 

  Four "most" should be implemented in safety supervision

  There have been too many lessons in the field of food and medicine. The lesson of melamine has just passed, and the Shandong vaccine case has hit the confidence of the whole society by half. Undeniably, in the field of drug research and development, China is still a latecomer in the catch-up stage, but this does not constitute the reason of "wanting money but not dying" and "picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon". Therefore, Wang Yang, Vice Premier of the State Council, put forward four "most important" points when he visited the State Food and Drug Administration this year: to implement the most stringent standards, the most stringent supervision, the most severe punishment and the most serious accountability.

  As far as drug clinical trials are concerned, the premise of strict responsibility is to clarify responsibility. Theoretically, the applicant for drug listing bears full legal responsibility for the registration data, while the project researcher and clinical trial contract organization (CRO) of drug clinical trial institutions bear direct responsibility for the authenticity and integrity of the data, while the drug clinical trial institutions are indirectly responsible.

  However, in practice, the supervision of clinical trial institutions and contract research organizations (CRO) is still loose, and there are almost no hospital institutions and contract research organizations (CRO) that have been publicly dealt with because of data fraud in clinical trials. This state must be reversed as soon as possible.

 

△ data map

  Of course, to solve the problem, it is necessary to sort out the source. The data of new drug trials is fraudulent, on the one hand, it is negligent in supervision, on the other hand, it is tired of testing. Because in addition to active fraud, there is indeed a phenomenon that clinical trial institutions are "overwhelmed", which leads to irregular trials. Therefore, it is necessary to achieve the matching between the regulatory capacity and the regulatory object, and also to achieve the matching between the drug clinical trial institutions and the market demand. To solve this problem, it is necessary not only to simplify the examination and approval procedures of new drug clinical trials, but also to attract more medical scientists to participate in drug clinical scientific research. Let clinical research develop as a science and technology industry, and it is also a direction to prevent the falsification of drug test data.

BBC: Chinglish "add oil" is included in the Oxford Dictionary.

  China Net News October 18th "Come on" is the mantra of many Chinese, pronounced jia you in Mandarin and ga yau in Cantonese. It has already gone beyond the original literal meaning and is used to encourage others or cheer in sports fields. At first, some people used "add oil" to express the meaning of "refueling" in Chinese when using English. This makes other people who use English confused. However, the latest edition of the Oxford English Dictionary has been renamed "add oil".

  According to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), "add oil" is a literal translation of a word that Chinese often talks about. Now, it has been recognized by the Oxford English Dictionary to express encouragement, encouragement or support, which is equivalent to the English word "go on!" Or "go for it!" .

  So how did the "refueling" once originate? According to the BBC, some people think that it originated from the Macau racing in the 1960s, and people would shout "Come on" and add more fuel to the car.

  Nowadays, in some places such as Hong Kong, many people use English and Chinese mixed, and they also begin to use this word in English. According to the report, it is easier to enter "add oil" in English, which is one of the reasons why "add oil" can be included in the dictionary.

  So, the next time you want to cheer others up, just say, "Add oil!"
