Do you remember killing Matt? Who the hell are they? Where are they now? In 2008, killing Matt became a cultural phenomenon, but within a few years, this group was suppressed and gradually disappeared from people’s vision. In fact, they are not so-called "brain-dead, vulgar", and most of them are "left-behind children+assembly line migrant workers". Faced with a city full of strange dangers and a flowing factory life that stifles humanity, they have no education, no background and no money, so they can only choose to kill Matt to protect themselves, express their personality and find a sense of belonging in the city. Now everyone who kills Matt cuts off his long hair and goes back to his hometown to continue his hard life. Today, we are all calling for aesthetic freedom. Maybe we should also give them a late aesthetic freedom.

Even many viewers were surprised to find that "everyone killed Matt" after watching this film.So, what kind of people choose to be Matt’s killers? Who suppressed them? Why did it disappear?

Past lives who killed Matt.

　

What exactly does the name kill Matt mean? Perhaps many people don’t know, in fact, it comes from the English word smart, which was transliterated as killing Matt by people who just started using it. It is easy to read and has personality, and it sounds cool and annoying. Just as what they value when choosing this word is that it means "smart and fashionable". In visual modeling, it actually imitates the Japanese visual rock. Japanese visual rock band rose in 1980s, represented by X JAPAN, and they were actually born under the influence of glam rock in Europe and America.Express rebellious personality and heavy metal music style with gorgeous and exaggerated hairstyles and costumes.. Because of the high quality of their music, visual rock is no longer completely non-mainstream music in Japan, and is respected to some extent.

But China’s killing Matt, which started in about 2007, has nothing to do with rock music. There are many versions circulating on the Internet about how the killing of Matt started, and there is no way to know who is the founder. It is widely said that the founder of killing Matt was a native of Meizhou, Guangdong Province, who was born in 1995 and named Luo Fuxing. According to his account, he went out to work as a teenager, and his working life was hard and boring. He happened to see this Japanese visual style on the Internet and thought it was particularly cool. He went to the hair salon to do a similar hairstyle and sent it to QQ space, which was seen and imitated by many people. With more and more people imitating and adding his friends, he set up a QQ group and chose the word "Kill Matt" as his family name.

　

At the same time as killing Matt, there are various non-mainstream families such as bury love, Canxue and Kuangshao. In terms of visual modeling, these families all like long hair, explosive heads, bangs that cover their eyes or even half their faces, and all kinds of fancy and colorful clothes. The biggest difference between the killing Matt family and these families is that their hair must stand up against gravity.Because the shape of killing Matt is the most exaggerated, the killing Matt family is more widely known, and now it has become synonymous with all non-mainstream families.

On-line, the killing Matt family has established countless QQ groups, large and small, which need to undergo strict examination. For example, it must be seen that the applicant’s hairstyle meets the anti-gravity standard of killing Matt. In QQ group and QQ space, people who kill Matt all over the world communicate with each other.The latest hairstyle informationShow your new look, discuss your life, or find a partner, find a job, or even find a place to stay if you have no money. ……

Offline,The most concentrated place to kill Matt is Guangdong., especially the shipai in Dongguan. Because in fact, most of the people who killed Matt were a new generation of migrant workers after 1990s and 1990s, and their work destination was the assembly line factory. In Dongguan, Shantou, Zhongshan and other cities in Guangdong, there are countless such factories. In 2008 and 2009, on the stone rafts, factory rest days, in the streets, parks and skating rinks, boys wearing low-waisted tights with fan heads and girls wearing ultra-short jeans and fishnet stockings and smoky makeup with loving heads can be seen everywhere. Their entertainment is very simple, such as visiting the park, chatting, skating, taking selfies, and bragging about their new styles in groups on the street.

However, just because the public thinks that their modeling is "shocking", earthy and does not conform to the mainstream aesthetics, from the beginning of 10 years, killing Matt, who has never caused substantial harm to society, began to be attacked from online to offline. Hackers captured or dissolved their QQ group and post bar; Fake killing Matt is wearing a wig to harass the public or do some self-blackening, and taking video photos and posting them online to stigmatize killing Matt (in fact, self-blackening is not killing Matt); The factory didn’t restrict their hairstyles at first, but later began to require them to cut off their long hair and dye it back into black hair, for fear that they would scare older people. In the same year, the state put forward "resolutely resist vulgarity, vulgarity and kitsch", and the society set off a new "moral movement", and killing Matt was also included in the rectification target. Whether because of the spontaneous rejection of the people or the resistance of the state and mainstream media, killing Matt began to decrease gradually.Around 2013, killing Matt almost disappeared from people’s sight.

In 2016 and 2017, on the platform like Aauto Quicker, a number of accounts mainly shooting rural non-mainstream dances and laughing at themselves. With long hair and colorful tights, they created a large number of "earthy" video works with the rural environment as the background, which triggered the so-called "non-mainstream Renaissance". Some of the creators behind these accounts used to kill Matt. They returned to the countryside from the city and didn’t have a skill, but found that many people on the Internet were willing to watch them for fun, so they made videos and broadcast live to earn living expenses. Some are more professional short video production teams, imitating and even spoofing Matt.

△ Documentary "Kill Matt, I Love You"

　

Aauto Quicker is a big stage of grass-roots culture, in which there is no lack of vulgar behavior and bad behavior to win the attention of the content, and many accounts with the theme of killing Matt are full of such content, causing users’ disgust. In 2017, Aauto Quicker banned a number of accounts involving pornography, violence, political inaccuracy and vulgarity, which was called Aauto Quicker Net Action, including many illegal killing Matt accounts. However, after this clean net, even the "original" killing Matt who did not violate the rules was gradually unable to rely on video and live broadcast to make a living.

　

Nowadays, whether in the offline world or the online world, we rarely see the real killing of Matt.

Why kill Matt?

　

Thirteen years later, when we look back at this social and cultural phenomenon that happened in 2008 and caused a heated discussion in the whole country, what can we find except that our youth is gone and we once again lament that their shapes are weird and not mainstream? If we say that in 17 years, the people who really killed Matt in the online world made live broadcasts and made videos to make a living and allowed the public to make fun of them like watching monkeys, then why did they choose to kill Matt in 2008? How do they see themselves?

　

In fact, as mentioned above, in 2008, all the people who chose to kill Matt were the new generation of migrant workers after the 1990s and 1990s. Most of them come from remote and backward rural areas in southwest and central provinces. Before they became migrant workers, they had another identity: left-behind children. At the end of Kill Matt I Love You,Many people who killed Matt mentioned that they had been separated from their parents since childhood, and they longed for affection and a complete family.The family is poor, parents leave home to work, and rural education resources are poor. With many elders and peers around them leaving the countryside for cities, the rural environment is more monotonous, and big cities have become their imaginary exports.

　

△ Documentary "Kill Matt, I Love You"

Many of them followed the older people in the village to the coastal cities when they were thirteen or fourteen. Under the age of 18, primary school or junior high school education, basically can only work in assembly line factories. However, cities do not have as many opportunities and fun as they think. Cheated deposit, repetitive work of at least 12 hours a day, extremely low salary that is deducted if you are not careful, no friends, no entertainment, no money to spend in the city center, two or three days’ holiday a month ….. Before the "factory people" of the Internet giant cried 996, these assembly line workers had already entered 996 ten years earlier.

　

After the senior high school entrance examination, the author was asked by his parents to work in the factory in the name of earning pocket money. The intensity of 12 hours a day, completely mechanical labor and night shift rotation is completely beyond the reach of a 14-year-old adolescent. The author only persisted for half a month, and in fact, few assembly line workers can persist in this work for a long time. Because no matter in terms of economic returns, physical health or spiritual satisfaction, this working mode is a great torture and loss to people. China’s economic take-off since the Millennium, the myth of "Made in China" and the rapid urbanization process are based on this to some extent.

　

This depressed work and living space, combined with the environment in the first decade of the Millennium and the self-reports of killing Matt in the documentary, the author believes that the reasons why the new generation of migrant workers chose to kill Matt in those years are complicated, including internal psychological needs, their own conditions or external environmental reasons, and the two are intertwined.

　

From the perspective of internal psychological needs,First of all, it is the need for self-protection.

　

Cities are more complicated than they think. Compared with the countryside, there are indeed more opportunities in the city, but there are also more dangers and deception lurking. When preparing the documentary, Director Li Yifan hopes to contact more Killing Matt for interviews, and wants to buy the assembly line factory videos they recorded before from them. Luo Fuxing, the "godfather of killing Matt", suggested telling them that interviews or selling videos are "no deposit", because many people who killed Matt were cheated by factory owners or seemingly kind strangers when they first arrived in Guangdong. Therefore, it is necessary to have these four words to eliminate many concerns about killing Matt. Therefore, in fact, they really need to look cool and annoying, and make themselves more "shocking". Without any other capital and power, they can only use their own bodies.

△ "You will feel safe", documentary "Kill Matt, I Love You"

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for them to take a fancy to the Japanese visual style. This style blows the hair as big and long as possible, and the short person can be at least 5 cm taller because of the hair; Liu Haichang can only see half an eye, which increases the mystery; Red trousers, smoky makeup, rivets, tattoos, fishnet stockings and platform shoes enhance personality, aura and strength. They need and can only show the city people that they are fashionable and have their own ideas, and they are not timid and can be bullied casually. It can even be said that although they know that the style of killing Matt is not the mainstream of the city, they are no longer completely rural people, at least half of them are already urban people. City people should not be so fond of bullying city people, they imagine.

　

Secondly, it is the demand for individuality, ego and freedom.

　

Maybe some people will feel angry and puzzled. They all work in assembly line factories. Why don’t those who have been suppressed for a long time after 70 s and 80 s play killing Matt? Why do they like to be maverick after 90 s?

　

In the first decade of the Millennium, great changes have taken place in all aspects of China society, and the facilitation of network media communication has also started from here.Children born in the early 1990s are in their teens when mobile phones and computers become popular.As mentioned earlier, some rural children drop out of school at this age and follow their fellow villagers to the city. Young people are eager to be wonderful, and the internet and the city provide them with many fresh stimuli and information. Compared with the previous generation who also worked in factories, the new generation of migrant workers’ desire for individuality naturally germinated.

　

The assembly line does not need individuality, and even tries to stifle humanity and freedom. The more repressed they are, the more eager they are for individuality, freedom and self-expression, the more they try to "deviate". To become a Matt killer is to try to find some unique selves and the possibility of not being the same screw by transforming one’s appearance and expressing one’s personality outside the assembly line, even if it is only during the only three-day rest day in a month.

　

People who don’t like to kill Matt’s style can think that this aesthetic is outdated and unsightly, but as long as the behavior of killing Matt’s group is within the legal scope, everyone should probably respect their freedom. As Li Yifan said, aesthetic freedom is the most basic freedom. When there is no other freedom, aesthetic freedom should be the simplest and most accessible freedom, and it should also be the freedom not to be kidnapped and tried by others.

Third, the need for recognition and belonging.

　

In addition to protecting themselves and expressing their individuality, adolescent rural children who are almost helpless in the city are also eager for companions and a sense of belonging, whether it is friendship, affection or love. In the documentary, a girl killed Matt and said, "As long as you play with Matt, you are a family." Even when the killing of Matt gradually disappeared and only appeared on the online live broadcast platform, many former killing Matt did not hesitate to brush gifts for the killing Matt who made the live broadcast. Some even brushed 5,000 yuan a month because they knew that they were not easy and felt like family whenever and wherever.

　

The killing Matt family is really like a big family. Members have given each other a high sense of identity and belonging, and they are relatives and friends. By sharing the identity of killing Matt, they confirm each other, and by confirming each other, they realize or strengthen their self-identity. In addition to affection and friendship, it is also an important reason to gain the recognition of the opposite sex by playing cool and handsome. People who play killing Matt will only become lovers with the opposite sex who also play killing Matt. Even if the other party suddenly stops playing killing Matt, the ending is to break up immediately. It can be said that hairstyle means a cultural identity, which means who shares a set of aesthetics, values and worldview with himself.

　

△ "Because you want to be concerned" and "I need others", documentary "Kill Matt and I Love You"

　

The above are some of the more important internal demand reasons, and in terms of their own conditions and external environment, they choose to be Matt-killing, which is also influenced by the following factors.

　

First of all, their economic level is very limited.

　

Many of us will laugh at their cheap and low-grade clothes, but it is indeed affordable consumption for their extremely low economic level. "Deviant" also needs capital. When there is nothing, the body is the biggest capital, and the economic cost of transforming the body is relatively low, although many people who kill Matt become poorer because they play with their hair. In addition, although cities are diverse and rich, in fact, regions are clearly marked according to the level of consumers. Killing Matt knows that many high-end places can’t afford them at all, so many people almost always stay near the factory, that is, suburbs or villages in the city. It’s not so easy to broaden one’s horizons in the city. Luo Fuxing said that he didn’t dare to look up at those tall buildings for a long time and felt very inferior. With limited economic conditions and limited horizons, killing Matt is the aesthetic consumption that can best reflect their personality within their power.

　

Secondly, the existence of information cocoon room.

　

Although the network has brought a lot of distant information, everyone will gradually form a network information cocoon, in which they almost only see the people and opinions they recognize. In 2008, although there was no mechanism to push according to personal data at that time, the people put into their QQ were mainly people who were close to themselves. For those who kill Matt, because many peers around them are playing with their hair, taking selfies and using Martian, gradually, they really think this is a trend, and they really think these shapes are beautiful and cool.

　

Besides, fashion is also time-varying.

　

Although fashion is always in reincarnation, what elements and styles can become a temporary trend depends largely on the economic, social and cultural status of the people who choose these elements and styles. Therefore, fashion is always a kind of imitation behavior, and regions with lower economic and cultural level tend to imitate regions with higher level. The phenomenon of killing Matt not only reflects that China is keen to imitate Europe, America, Japan and South Korea in fashion, but also clearly reflects the fashion time difference between urban and rural areas in China.

　

In the first few years of the Millennium, the mainstream fashion in the city was bright-colored hair and tight-fitting colored pants. Killing Matt can be said to be an exaggerated variant of urban fashion that was a few years late in the suburbs. They tried to enter the city by imitating the shape, but they were told that the tickets they used had already expired for many years.

△ "Super Girl" in 2005

　

To sum up, we can see that the formation of the group of killing Matt and this cultural phenomenon is not only due to the desire of a group of people who are in aesthetic decline to gain eyeballs, but a group of adolescent new generation migrant workers who have no power, trying to fight against the assembly line life through aesthetic freedom, to fight against the danger of the city or to integrate into the city. Reflected in them,In fact, it is the spiritual dilemma of this generation of migrant workers, the antagonistic pattern and gap between urban and rural areas, and the fact that cities rely on this group to achieve economic take-off but ignore the living conditions of this group.

　Where is killing Matt now?

　

What are you doing now after killing Matt?

　

Except for some Sha Matt, who still has long colored hair, who make a living through live broadcast and video shooting, most Sha Matt who has cut off his long hair has returned to his hometown or hometown city. Some of them grow bananas in the countryside, some move bricks on the construction site, and they are eloquent in sales. Those who master a craft work in a hair salon or beauty salon, and those who are better off have their own hair salon or fast food restaurant. Others continue to work in factories in coastal cities in Guangdong.

　

Luo Fuxing, who claimed to be the godfather of killing Matt, tried to revive the killing of Matt. He still lives in Shipai, Dongguan, and has become a barber. At the same time, he has opened personal accounts on various social software to share classic or newly designed hair styles. He also opened a three-day Matt-killing experience hall in Beishangguang, and some netizens will come here to experience a Matt-killing hairstyle. In his comments on many social platforms, many netizens have no choice but to feel "sorry for my family, I am bald" and "envy the leader’s hair", while others still express their incomprehension and even disgust at killing Matt.No matter what the attitude of the public is, it is difficult to reproduce the once-popular phenomenon of killing Matt by one person’s cry.

△ Netizen’s message on Luo Fuxing’s Douban account

　

However, the "spirit of killing Matt" has never disappeared, and even today it is becoming more and more common, so that in fact, today’s young people all "kill Matt".What is the "spirit of killing Matt"? The author believes that it is actually a desire for individuality and freedom in a highly instrumental and utilitarian modern world.As sociologist Max Weber said, the modern world is an "iron cage" established by instrumental rationality, and everything is best "impersonal". People should strive to be a tool without personality and irrational emotions to promote the development of the country, society and cities.

　

Also after 1995, although they didn’t become "killing Matt", those children who were born in cities or came to cities for study and employment through the college entrance examination are now faced with: a high-pressure and risky living space, a working mode of working with their eyes open and sleeping with their eyes closed, and perhaps they can’t achieve the involution of class rise with all their efforts, and the cruel mechanism of being quickly eliminated if they lie flat, and strive to earn money in order to be a stable house slave.

　

And these young people, don’t they all try to express their individuality and declare their uniqueness through aesthetic freedom, clothing, make-up, hairstyle, jewelry and other appearance shaping, even if they just dress up beautifully to drink coffee and watch exhibitions and take photos on weekends, to breathe the fresh air outside the iron cage?

　

Even, in terms of exaggerated costumes and imitating other countries’ fashions (such as French, Japanese and women’s group style), today we are doing something almost the same as killing Matt.

　

△ Many French wear and share in bilibili.

　

We should be as tolerant of killing Matt as we are of ourselves. In an era when everyone is trapped in an iron cage, aesthetic freedom is indeed the most basic, accessible and even the only freedom. If as individuals, we can’t change the cage for the time being, then at least we can respect the aesthetic freedom of others.

tag

　

After a lapse of thirteen years, when we re-recognize the cultural phenomenon of killing Matt, we can see not only the survival and spiritual dilemma of the group that killed Matt, but also what China city has neglected in the process of modernization, and we should also see the predicament that people are facing today, so as to prevent a group from being suppressed and aphasia from happening again.

　　Moderator Shui Junyi:

　　Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Global Sight, which is being broadcast live on the news channel. I’m Shui Junyi. Russian President Vladimir Putin published an article in The New York Times, which mercilessly attacked the US government, which caused an uproar among American media and politicians. The heavyweight Senator Menendez publicly said that he almost wanted to vomit after reading Putin’s article. The White House also made a fierce counterattack. What did Putin write to make Americans so angry? In addition, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad recently said in an interview with RIA Novosti that Obama must promise not to arm the opposition, otherwise he will not hand over chemical weapons. What does such a tough stance mean? Will it be the reason for the United States to attack it again? Today, our studio invited special commentators, Mr. Yin Zhuo and Mr. Song Xiaojun, to participate in our discussion. First of all, let’s take a short film to learn the details.

　　Commentary:

　　The dramatic situation in Syria has made progress again after Obama announced his request to Congress to postpone the vote on the military strike against Syria. On the 12th, the Syrian government submitted relevant documents to the United Nations on its accession to the Chemical Weapons Convention. The United Nations said that this means that Syria has officially started the process of accession to the Chemical Weapons Convention. On the same day, the Permanent Representative of Syria to the United Nations, Jaafari, said that in a legal sense, Syria has become a member of the Convention.

　　On the same day, the Russian media broadcast an interview with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

　　President Bashar al-Assad of Syria:

　　I want to reiterate that without Russia’s proposal, we would not discuss the transfer of chemical weapons with any country, saying that Syria was threatened to give up chemical weapons, which is a propaganda means of the United States, because Kerry and Obama always want to show the United States as a winner who achieved their goals through threats.

　　Commentary:

　　At the same time, in the interview, Assad once again denied that the Syrian government used chemical weapons. He said that the chemical weapons attack on the outskirts of Damascus on the 21 ST of last month was caused by terrorists to provoke the United States to use force against Syria. They have chemical weapons provided by foreign countries, and Syrian government forces have never used chemical weapons. In recent days, Obama’s plan to attack Syria militarily is under siege, and Russia’s plan of exchanging chemical weapons for peace has received more and more international support. Since Obama announced the postponement of the plan, the chemical weapons crisis in Syria seems to have begun to develop in a good direction. However, the game between the United States and Russia on the situation in Syria is still going on.

　　On the 12th, a long letter to the American people and political leaders was published in the The New York Times that day, and the author was Russian President Vladimir Putin. In the article, Putin warned the United States that "military strikes against Syria will only bring chaos and casualties." And pointed out that "many countries no longer regard the United States as a model of democracy, but only know how to play rough." For this article, the British "Guardian" said that while Putin extended a hand of friendship and cooperation to Obama, he repeatedly stabbed Obama’s wound with a knife. Just a few hours after Putin’s article was published, US Secretary of State Kerry flew to Geneva, Switzerland, and held talks with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov on the Syrian chemical weapons for peace plan. The New York Times commented on the dramatic changes in the Syrian situation. Just as Obama hesitated, Putin stood in the center of the stage. However, some commentators believe that even if the proposal of exchanging chemical weapons for peace becomes a reality, it will still face many political and operational difficulties in real implementation. However, there are still variables whether the United States, Russia and Syria can reach a preliminary plan for the solution of chemical weapons. At that time, will the United States still put a military strike plan on the table, and how will the situation in Syria develop? Still worthy of attention.

　　Moderator:

　　There was a sentence in the second half of the short film just now, which I think left a deep impression on me, saying that Putin stood in the center of the stage just as Obama hesitated. Before the next conversation today, there is a very popular video from Russia today. Please watch it together. As we all know, the most popular column in the world, including China, is called "The Voice of China". Not long ago, it was said that Putin also made a good voice in Russia, and not only did he make a good voice in Russia, but he also won the turn of three tutors. This was the scene at that time, and the picture quality was average.

　　Let’s look at this picture and ask for advice. This is Putin’s side. In addition, of course, we have seen that Putin has many other sides, but it really surprised many people, including many Americans. Putin still has such a skill, that is, he wrote a commentary in the The New York Times, a best-selling newspaper in the United States and the western world, which suddenly caused such an uproar. What do you think of Mr. Yin?

　　Yin Zhuo Special Commentator:

　　I think Putin wants to light another fire, give Obama another push and push him down when public opinion, especially domestic public opinion, is unfavorable to Obama.

　　Moderator:

　　What do you mean?

　　Expert opinion: Putin "lights a fire" on Obama’s unfavorable public opinion.

　　Yin Zhuo:

　　Because we know that Obama decided to go to war this time, he had already crossed the red line, and now Bashar al-Assad’s regime has crossed the red line and decided to use force, and he has made a lot of hard words, whether your parliament agrees or not, I will use force, I have the right to use force, and so on. Now the domestic public opinion and the public opinion of the whole parliament are unfavorable to him. He feels that the number of votes is unfavorable to him and the possibility of passing it in the parliament is very small. Moreover, public opinion is widespread, and more than 60% of Americans oppose the use of force against Syria.

　　Moderator:

　　It is basically impossible to get such support in parliament.

　　Yin Zhuo:

　　In mainstream public opinion, in opinion polls, there is no such support. And Putin now, it turns out that he wants to stand on the moral high ground against Russia, that is, you used weapons of mass destruction as an excuse to use force against Syria. Of course, he is standing on the moral high ground, because big countries kill weapons, which is prohibited by international law.

　　Moderator:

　　The whole world opposes it.

　　Commenting: Putin severely criticized the abuse of power by the United States

　　Yin Zhuo:

　　But also killed many women, especially children, and children suffered a lot of casualties, so he stood on the moral high ground. On the other hand, now he has stood morally low, Putin has stood high, and Putin has clicked on this article again. You won the Nobel Prize, but you had better fight. You are a militant. At this time, Putin has become the commanding height of morality, but he is a militant. Put aside the use of chemical weapons, because Putin took it out because of the drastic measures. Bashar handed over the whole chemical weapons. Is it possible for you to use force? Now Putin stands on the moral high ground and asks him to promise not to use force. The United States will never promise. It is precisely because of such a contrast that he lost his moral points.

　　Moderator:

　　Let’s take a look at what Putin wrote on the The New York Times. In one passage, he said, "I doubt that many people all over the world now feel more and more that the United States is not a model of democracy, but only resorts to brutal force and forms gangs under the slogan of being either friends or enemies." In addition, he said that no matter how clear the target is and how sophisticated the weapons are, it is impossible to avoid civilian casualties, including the elderly and children, those who wanted to protect through action. "

　　In fact, he also said a passage, which we didn’t extract. He said that the United States should not always feel unique or different from the rest of society. You are actually a member of the international family. Therefore, in addition to some politicians in the United States, including the White House, who will immediately fight back later, many commentators say that Putin is very reliable. You see, he helped me in a difficult situation; Some people say that this year’s Nobel Peace Prize belongs to Putin. What does Mr. Song think? The so-called Putin gave Obama a hand at a critical moment, and now he is standing on such a commanding height to teach a lesson. Americans say not to think that Americans are unique in the world?

　　Expert opinion: Putin not only gave "steps" but also "helped them down"

　　Song Xiaojun Special Commentator:

　　Putin not only helped Obama, but also gave him a step and helped him. Therefore, in this case, it was Obama who was riding a tiger. The United States conducted a Gallup survey in the same period. The wars fought in the past 22 years, the Gulf War and the Iraq War, including Kosovo, were many times, including opinion polls. This time it was the lowest, 36%, like 82% when it was fought in Afghanistan, that is, in 2001, after the "September 11" incident, when it was fought in Iraq. But this time it’s 36%, and it’s still falling. How do you think Putin can get down this step? People give you a step to help you, what should they get? What I got was the good voice we talked about just now, and why he showed such an image this time, and even wrote this article in The New York Times, which shows that Putin is now facing internal problems in Russia, because local elections are about to be held in Russia. Moreover, Russia’s economic situation is not good now.

　　I saw the BRICS in the previous G20. In our BRICS countries, no one can do it except China, and the Russian people’s support rate for the United Russia Party is now declining. At this time, Putin has to use his personal charm to unite the Russian Party on the international stage, or win back the votes of his team in local elections, so he wants this.

　　Moderator:

　　But in any case, Obama is good, and his team seems to feel that Putin’s popularity is a bit overwhelming. Don’t forget Obama’s team. Some people say that they have always wanted to build Obama according to a star. Now there is a response to Putin’s high praise. Let’s listen to what he said.

　　Carney White House spokesman:

　　Unlike Russia, the United States represents the value of democracy and human rights in our own country and around the world. We believe that when children will not be killed by a dictator with poison gas, the global security level will also be improved.

　　Now 34 countries have claimed that the Assad regime was responsible for the use of chemical weapons that night.

　　I think it is also necessary to point out that it is a great irony to publish such a column, because it reflects the truly outstanding tradition of freedom of speech in this country, which is not shared by Russia. In the past few years, freedom of speech has greatly declined in Russia.

　　Commenting: The White House retorted and the war of words escalated.

　　Moderator:

　　Regardless of everything else, Carney typed it right away. There is no freedom of public opinion in Russia. Look, your president has to publish a commentary in my newspaper. But a very simple question may also be a hypothetical one, Mr. Yin, because we know that many things in Nobel are manipulated by Americans, and Americans will let Putin, if someone really nominates Putin for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, is it possible? Is there a play?

　　Yin Zhuo:

　　Impossible, absolutely impossible.

　　Moderator:

　　Why?

　　Expert opinion: the United States will not give Putin the title of "peacemaker"

　　Yin Zhuo:

　　Because the Nobel Peace Prize has a very strong political ideology, its political ideology is on the side of the United States. Since it awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to Obama, it shows that people like Putin can never win the prize here, otherwise Putin will stand up against his own country’s system, so he wants to win the Nobel Prize. From here, we can see that from the White House spokesman, the leader of his parliament said that he was disgusting, and so on, we can see that Americans will never give Putin the title of peacemaker and let him win the Nobel Peace Prize. There is no possibility, and he will take various measures. Because now the initiative is not in Putin’s hands, the initiative is in Obama’s hands, and it is Obama, not Putin, who has the final say. Putin can only beat around the bush and say that you don’t want to fight. He can only persuade Obama not to fight, or exert pressure to really decide whether to fight or not. Who will win the Nobel Peace Prize in the end? Who will guide the outcome of the Syrian war? It is the Americans who have the final say, not the Russians, which can be judged.

　　Commenting: The fate of the Syrian government is decided in the ongoing negotiations on chemical weapons.

　　Moderator:

　　Another topic, let’s pay attention to Mr. Song. Today, the foreign ministers of the United States and Russia held a meeting in Geneva, which will be held in the next two days. It is said that the information leaked is not bad and promising. At the same time, however, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad had a saying that he accepted RIA Novosti and said very strongly that if you armed the opposition, I’m sorry, but I may not do anything about the transfer of chemical weapons. What does this sentence mean?

　　Song Xiaojun:

　　I think he is warning the United States and Israel not to push their luck. Putin handed you the steps, helped you down the steps, and I swept the ground under the steps. As a result, you have to give offensive weapons to the opposition, that is, the Syrian Free Army. Now it is the worst army to be beaten. It is not kind to do so, so it should be said. But in fact, Kerry and Lavrov must be laughing secretly, because everyone knows that this matter is very long. For example, in 2004, Gaddafi handed over chemical weapons, and Gaddafi’s chemical weapons were much less than those in Syria.

　　Expert opinion: Kerry and Lavrov "stole the fun" before the talks.

　　By 2011, when he was killed and shot down, his chemical weapon mustard gas was treated by 40%, and the chemical weapon raw materials were treated by 50%. This is a very long matter, and basically this matter is gone. In this case, the United States also knows that this matter is a face matter, which is Putin’s face and Obama’s face. As for whether this 1,000-ton chemical weapon can be disposed of quickly, everyone will forget it in the future. As soon as the heat of the two news cycles is over, everyone will ignore it. Other things, elections and other things. But it is a bit unkind to give weapons to the opposition at this time.

　　Moderator:

　　Of course, from Assad’s point of view, he must protect his own regime, but as you said, I am afraid that all parties, whether the United States and Russia or the US Congress, are a little snickered, which finally gives everyone a sigh of relief. Ok, our Global Sight will continue later.

Nongfu Spring, which has repeatedly said that there is no need to list, finally decided to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The company that mainly produces "a little sweet" mineral water has a financing scale of no more than 1 billion US dollars, but it is a high probability event that it will enter the 100 billion market value club after listing.

We carefully read the prospectus submitted by Nongfu Spring to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and found that the company had mixed feelings.

Nongfu Spring "not bad money"

Nongfu Spring was established in 1996, and its founder Zhong Liangyi holds 87.4% of the shares. The company’s main business contributes about 95% of the total operating income. The main products include drinking water, tea beverages, functional beverages and fruit juice beverages, accounting for 60%, 13%, 16% and 10% of the revenue respectively. Among them, drinking water and fruit juice beverages have grown rapidly.

According to the prospectus, Nongfu Spring has maintained steady growth in the past three years. From 2017 to 2019, the income was 17.491 billion yuan, 20.475 billion yuan and 24.021 billion yuan respectively, with a compound annual growth rate of 17.2%. Nongfu Spring achieved net profit of 3.385 billion yuan, 3.612 billion yuan and 4.954 billion yuan in the past three years, with a compound annual growth rate of 21.0%.

Image source: Prospectus, Interface News Research Department

In 2019, the comprehensive gross profit margin of Nongfu Spring was as high as 55.4%. Mainly due to the gross profit margin of 60.2% of the largest drinking water product. The gross profit margins of other categories such as tea beverages, functional beverages and fruit juice beverages were 59.7%, 50.9% and 34.7% respectively.

In terms of net profit, the net profit rate of Nongfu Spring rose to 22.8% in 2019, of which sales expenses accounted for the largest proportion of the three fees. Specifically, sales expenses accounted for 24.2% of operating income, and the most important ones were transportation expenses and advertising expenses, which were 2.53 billion and 1.22 billion yuan respectively, accounting for 10.5% and 5.1% of operating income, respectively.

In terms of cash, Nongfu Spring adopts the first payment and then the goods transaction method, and the book receivables are very small. From 2017 to 2019, the company’s net operating cash inflow was greater than the net profit of the year, especially in 2019, the net operating cash inflow was as high as 8.73 billion yuan. From 2017 to 2019, the book structured deposits were 2.04 billion, 3.60 billion and 200 million yuan respectively. The average interest rate earned was between 4.0% and 4.9%.

The sharp decrease in cash in 2019 was due to the concentrated dividend of Nongfu Spring up to 9.50 billion yuan before listing. Among them, the major shareholders received 8.20 billion yuan. Previously, although Nongfu Spring also had annual dividends, the amount was 2-300 million yuan. And the total financing of Nongfu Spring is only 1 billion US dollars.It is certain that Nongfu Spring did not choose to go public because of a lack of funds.

What is the valuation after going public?

Master Kong Holdings, the equivalent producer of mineral water in Nongfu Spring, has been listed on the Hong Kong stock market. In 2019, Master Kong Holdings’ beverage business contributed HK $39.70 billion to operating income, which was greater than Nongfu Spring’s operating income. But net profit was only HK $3.72 billion, far less than Nongfu Spring’s 4.95 billion yuan.

At present, the market value of Tingyi Holdings is 77.20 billion Hong Kong dollars, corresponding to the price-to-earnings ratio of about 20.8 times in 2019. It is estimated that the total market value of Nongfu Spring after listing is at least about 130 billion Hong Kong dollars. In fact, Nongfu Spring is better than Tingyi Holdings in terms of profitability and growth, and the market may give a higher valuation.

According to the prospectus, the drinking water market is still in a stage of rapid development. According to Nielsen’s forecast, it is still expected to maintain a growth rate of about 10% in the next five years. Compared with the beer and condiment market, the drinking water market has more room. Based on the high concentration of the drinking water market, it is also possible to produce a leader with a larger market value than Budweiser Asia Pacific (1876.HK) and Haitian Flavor (603288.SH) in the long run. The average price-to-earnings ratio valuation of beer in the Hong Kong stock market is 30-40 times. The average valuation of soy sauce and vinegar in the class A share market is more than 40 times. Based on this, we have predicted the market value of Nongfu Spring.

The troubles of Nongfu Spring

Although the situation is good, Nongfu Spring is not a smooth road.

First of all, the drinking water business depends on the source of water, and the bottleneck facing the long-term growth of Nongfu Spring is the limited source of water. According to relevant laws and regulations, units and individuals who directly extract water from natural resources (such as rivers, lakes and groundwater) need to obtain a water extraction license and pay a water resource fee. Enterprises need to extract water according to the approved annual water extraction plan. Moreover, mineral water has the dual attributes of water resources and mineral resources. The production of mineral water should also apply for a mining license according to law. In other words, the scarcity of water sources on the one hand helps enterprises to establish high industry barriers, and on the other hand restricts enterprises to expand production capacity. It is conceivable that with the development of the industry, there are fewer and fewer untapped water sources.

The situation of Nongfu Spring’s newly obtained water sources in recent years is not optimistic. At present, Nongfu Spring has a total of 10 water sources. The main production bases are still Qiandao Lake in Zhejiang, Changbai Mountain in Jilin, Danjiangkou in Hubei and Wanlv Lake in Guangdong, which were obtained before 2005. With the increase in environmental awareness, the water withdrawal from water sources obtained by Nongfu Spring in recent years has become smaller and smaller. In 2019, the newly obtained water withdrawal from water sources was only 504 thousand cubic meters per year. Although the approved water withdrawal from water sources currently owned by Nongfu Spring is much larger than the actual production capacity of the company, the company does not have the problem of insufficient water withdrawal in the short term. However, products concentrated in water sources in Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jilin and Hubei are also limited by the transportation radius.

Nongfu Spring has less water sources that can produce mineral water, which is not conducive to product upgrades in the future. In addition, the average ton price of Nongfu Spring drinking water has declined for two consecutive years, the company explained, because of the increase in sales of large-packaged drinking water with lower unit prices. In the short term, Nongfu Spring may face the risk of lower gross margins.

Due to the scarcity of domestic water sources, Nongfu Spring has begun to go overseas. Nongfu Spring has acquired Otakiri Springs, a New Zealand bottled water company. The prospectus revealed that Nongfu Spring will look for suitable acquisition targets in the future. However, the overseas market is more mature than the Chinese market, and the growth space is limited. The risk of "going out" is really not small.

Secondly, Nongfu Spring also faces the problem of "succession". The company has five executive directors. Among them, the founder Zhong Shuzi currently serves as the chairperson and general manager of the company, with a shareholding of 87%. Appropriately reducing the founder’s shareholding ratio through listing can achieve the effect of optimizing the shareholding structure and reducing decision-making risks. At present, Zhong Shuzi is 66 years old and has been deeply involved in the operation of Nongfu Spring. Another executive director, Guo Zhen, deputy general manager in charge of the overall operation and production of Nongfu Spring, is also 62 years old. Zhong Shuzi, the son of Zhong Shuzi, is currently a non-executive director of the company and does not participate in daily operations. Zhong Shuzi joined the group in 2014 and is currently the general manager of Yangshengtang (Nongfu Spring Holding Company) Brand Center.

It is worth mentioning that at the same time as the listing of Nongfu Spring, another company controlled by founder Zhong Shanyuan, 603392.SH, landed on the class A share main board on April 29. The current market value is 6 billion yuan, and the daily limit has not been opened. In the Hurun wealth list in 2020, Zhong Shanyuan was listed with 14.10 billion yuan. With the listing of the above two companies, his worth is expected to rank among the top five on the rich list.

At the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, the new Tiggo 8 was officially unveiled. The new car adopted a brand-new design language, and the whole car was more refined. This new car will also be sold to overseas markets in the future.

　　The appearance of the new Tiggo 8 is quite different from Chery’s current products. The front of the car adopts a two-color design, and the interior of the large-size mesh adopts a diamond grille, which looks good in quality. The headlights on both sides are split, and the lower lights blend with the black area, which has a strong sense of layering.

　　The design of the side is similar to that of the existing model as a whole. It is reported that the wheelbase has been lengthened, and the car has been replaced with a hidden door handle and equipped with multi-spoke wheels. At the rear of the car, it will adopt a penetrating taillight design, in which the brand LOGO is embedded. The design of the tailgate is also relatively simple, and the license plate area is placed in the rear enclosure.

　　The design inside the car is closer to the style of new energy vehicles, and with the beige interior, it looks very simple. It is equipped with LCD instrument and independent central control large screen, and we can also see wireless charging panel with air outlet and mode conversion knob.

　　Judging from the tail mark of 390T, it is expected that it will still be equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 187kW and a maximum torque of 390 Nm, or a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. In the future, the car will also launch a new energy version.

　　CCTV News:On June 24th, the 5th International Electric Vehicle Challenge around Qinghai Lake, jointly sponsored by Qinghai Provincial People’s Government, Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and China Electric Vehicle committee of 100, kicked off in Xining. The event specially arranged for drivers, sports stars to pray and stunt performances.

　　In this stunt show, professional drivers and his club drivers gave a uniform team stunt show at the beginning, performing fighter formation, word formation, wild goose wing formation, T formation and diamond formation. Since then, the drivers have carried out synchronous winding in the same direction, cross winding in the same direction, opposite winding and reversing winding respectively; Turn around 180 degrees in turn, turn around 180 degrees in turn, turn around 180 degrees in turn, turn around 180 degrees synchronously, turn around 180 degrees for a single car, turn around 180 degrees for a double car, turn around 180 degrees for a double car at high speed, turn around 180 degrees for a double car, and turn around 180 degrees for a double car. Speed face to face, multi-vehicle cross drift, 360-degree U-turn, 540-degree U-turn and other performances. Finally, the stunt drivers pushed the stunt show to a climax with the super difficulty of two-wheel driving around the pile and two-wheel driving jumping.

　　It is worth mentioning that this year’s electric vehicle challenge around Qinghai Lake coincided with the hot progress of the World Cup in Russia, and the organizing committee specially arranged the car shooting project in the stunt performance. Kui Yuanyuan, the world champion of gymnastics, Xue Ming, the world champion of women’s volleyball and Shi Jingnan, the world champion of short track speed skating, formed a star team, and personally drove the vehicle and had a wonderful and exciting shooting competition with professional drivers.

　　As the leader of the whole stunt performance, the captain of the "Challenger Car Stunt Club" has participated in the electric car challenge around Qinghai Lake for the third time. He talked about the stunt projects he did today, including drifting tail and two-wheeled driving, which are classic projects and also test the stability of the vehicle. When I participated in the electric vehicle challenge around Qinghai Lake for the first time, I was worried that the whole electric vehicle was not easy to operate, but it was very easy to get started in actual driving and the performance effect was also very good. Challenger Auto Stunt Club was established in 2012, and each team member has thousands of performances.

　　Looking at the whole stunt competition, it can be said that in the limited space performance venue, the strong acceleration performance of electric vehicles is fully displayed, which may not be achieved by the same-level oil-powered motor vehicles. Relatively heavy electric vehicles can make flexible and changeable drifting movements, which fully demonstrates the reliability of the electric vehicle chassis.

　　In addition, in the stunt performance of two-wheeled driving, the electric car with battery is heavier than the oil-powered car, but all the weight of the car is concentrated on two wheels, and it is not from the design stress angle of the original car, and the car is still intact when it falls down, which fully shows the reliability of the quality of the electric car.

　　In today’s performance, stunt drivers kept changing cars, so that almost all the participating cars appeared in the performance. Different brands of cars also have their own advantages. I believe that the real test will be ushered in the evaluation competition around the lake.

　　As ambassadors for public welfare promotion, the appearances of diving Olympic champion Sang Xue, gymnastics world champion Mo Huilan, gymnastics world champion Bi Wenjing, gymnastics world champion Kui Yuanyuan, women’s volleyball world champion Xue Ming, women’s volleyball world champion Ma Yunwen, taekwondo world champion Shi Jingnan, short track speed skating world champion Huang Jinxuan ignited the atmosphere at the event site.

　　When talking about new energy vehicles, Mo Huilan said that there is not much difference between electric vehicles and traditional vehicles in terms of driving experience, and electric vehicles have performed very well in mute, and more and more friends around them have begun to contact electric vehicles. The events around the lake have new highlights and growing influence every year.

　　As Shi Jingnan, who participated in the electric vehicle challenge around Qinghai Lake for the first time, this event made him pay more attention to environmental protection and convinced him that new energy is an inevitable trend of future development. With so many people working together, the future will definitely be better.

　　Sports stars said that they like electric vehicles very much, which is environmentally friendly and quiet. Holding such new energy events is not only of great significance to the evaluation and innovation of electric vehicle technology, but also helps to popularize the good social value of "green travel" and improve people’s awareness of green environmental protection. It is hoped that this event will promote the development of China’s new energy automobile industry and call on people to protect the natural environment.

　　The stars spoke highly of the electric vehicle challenge around Qinghai Lake (International) and were full of expectations for the next events.

In the highly competitive mobile phone field, there is not much difference in the performance of each flagship product. It can affect the reputation, sales volume and attention of products, and the gap between products depends on the cutting-edge technology carried by flagship products. And this requires manufacturers to constantly invest in research and development in the exploration of cutting-edge technology. As the "leader" in the mobile phone industry, Samsung has been concentrating on polishing technology and deepening innovation and development for many years, and continues to bring surprises to the industry and users, both in the field of direct-screen mobile phones and the hot folding screens.

At the beginning of 2024, Samsung brought a heavy new product — — Galaxy S24 series equipped with Galaxy AI function, relying on the surging AI computing power of the third generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform (for Galaxy), makes Galaxy AI easily realize the new comprehensive ability of integrating local and cloud. The addition of Galaxy AI has given Samsung Galaxy S24 series many cutting-edge interactive experiences of artificial intelligence applications, such as real-time call translation, recording and transcription assistant, intelligent retouching suggestion, instant circle search, note-taking assistant, etc., which has broken the tedious operation experience in the past and provided more convenience for users in their daily lives.

Samsung Galaxy S24 series not only brings rich functional experience upgrades based on Galaxy AI, but also applies titanium material to Galaxy S24 Ultra for the first time in terms of process materials, so that it has a lighter body weight, and at the same time, the firmness and durability of the body have also been greatly improved, effectively prolonging the service life of the equipment.

In addition to bringing innovative technology to bar phones, Samsung is equally outstanding in the field of folding screen products. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 further upgrades the hinge technology and adopts a new dual-track integrated hinge structure, which completely reduces the weight and thickness of the fuselage, making it easier for users to travel and carry, whether in their pockets or in their hands. There is no obvious sense of weight. The front is covered with UTG ultra-thin flexible glass, and with the upgraded internal screen structure, users can fold the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 for a long time without worrying about the service life of the screen. In terms of interactive experience, Galaxy Z Fold5 also brings upgraded PC-like taskbar, two-handed drag and drop, pop-up view and slim S Pen, which makes users have more possibilities for mobile office and creation.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 still adopts the classic palm folding scheme in design, and its appearance is similar to that of the clamshell machine. When the screen is closed, it is as delicate as a cosmetic mirror, which brings portability to the extreme. At the same time, the fuselage is more compact under the blessing of a new generation of super-closed precision hinge.

The back panel of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 is equipped with an eye-catching 3.4-inch large-field intelligent external screen, which brings users a larger visual field and control area, and the interactive experience is fully upgraded. Users don’t need to expand their mobile phones frequently, but they can experience rich functions only by using the external screen, such as checking notifications and messages, sending and receiving information quickly, answering calls, browsing weather schedules, paying for credit cards, etc., all of which can be easily done on the external screen. Not only that, users can also add commonly used apps such as Tik Tok, WeChat and Cool Dog Music to the external screen, which can be started and used more quickly. Of course, the large-field intelligent external screen is also a great medium for users to show their own style and characteristics. You can adjust the clock style, font, wallpaper, etc. in the external screen according to your clothes, weather, mood, etc., and create your favorite display interface.

Samsung can hold the top spot in the mobile phone industry all the year round, and it is inseparable from its painstaking exploration of innovative technologies and strong technical accumulation. I believe that in the future, whether in the folding screen field or the brand-new AI mobile phone field, Samsung will continue to bring more new functions and technologies to the industry and consumers, and constantly empower users in life, office and other aspects, bringing unprecedented efficiency and convenience. Intelligent new experience.
