Why does the blockchain collection platform close the redemption of points?

  "At the beginning, I spent 250,000 yuan to buy a set of" Return of Paratroopers "and" P indication ",but now it is only worth 3,000 yuan, shrinking by 99%. My total investment is more than 4 million yuan, and I lost millions. " Recently, many investors reported to the Beijing Youth Daily reporter that the blockchain collection platform "nice" closed integral mall in November, which caused many investors to spend hundreds of thousands and millions of yuan to buy goods for generating points to depreciate sharply.

  Close the points platform due to financial problems.

  "In the past, buying their collections at high prices would generate points every day, and the points can be exchanged in the mall. Now they have issued new regulations to cancel product points, and integral mall was closed on November 29." Consumer Mr. Zheng (pseudonym) told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that the latest regulations on the nice platform made him unacceptable.

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that integral mall came from a section launched by nice platform, in which some physical goods, such as prints, piggy banks, cards, etc., were regularly sold with the selling point of "blockchain traceability" and "collection attributes". These goods can generate points, which can be exchanged for some high-priced goods. A number of investors said that the CEO of nice platform said in the live broadcast and official WeChat group on Monday that the points can also be exchanged for high-value goods such as Porsche cars, Airbnb watches and Rolex watches.

  Mr. Zheng said that he had purchased a large number of products that could generate high points. "I spent more than 500,000 yuan on the platform and generated 1,199 points every day. I have also exchanged some products before, such as Maotai and Dyson hair dryers, which are worth 2,000 yuan and 3,000 yuan, adding up to about 10,000 yuan."

  Regarding the reason for closing integral mall, the platform staff said: "The company has no funds to continue to supply products from integral mall. Closing integral mall is a reform to continue the company’s operation." The platform does not comment on the losses of investors.

  Some investors spend millions of dollars to enter the market.

  "On June 21 last year, I spent 18,866 yuan to buy a plate. Since then, I have invested more than 4 million yuan on the nice platform." Investor Mr. Yan (pseudonym) told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that the plate of 18,866 yuan generated 10 points every day.

  "At that time, integral mall was a watch where 30,000 points could be exchanged for 500,000 RMB. A few days ago, I only exchanged more than 50,000 points for more than 2,000 yuan. Now, integral mall is completely closed. " Mr. Yan said that there were enough convertible physical goods at first, and then the choice of goods became less and less, and most of them showed "sold out", and then the platform launched the "Jingbao" activity. According to the integral mall interface released by the official platform, users are divided into five different grades: glory, diamond, platinum, gold and silver, and can be assigned to different grades according to the points generated every day. Users can only compete for the corresponding products within their own grades. Each user can only change the same product every month. The number of products is small and the competition is fierce, and some popular products even need to be "quick" to grab. "Because there are fewer and fewer goods in the mall, investors have to bid for these actually worthless goods, and their assets have shrunk seriously." Mr Yan said.

  After the closure of integral mall, the announcement in the mall on December 1st showed that the resale service of the Angel Medal card was started. According to the platform’s previously released product "Paratrooper Printmaking"+"P indication", 99 cards and 64 cards of "Medal of Angels" were exchanged respectively. According to the calculation, this set of cards purchased by Mr. Liu at a cost of 250,000 yuan is now only worth more than 3,200 yuan, shrinking by 99%. Many investors said that their investment was more than 500,000 yuan, and some people invested millions of yuan, which caused huge losses.

  The number of "Limited Collection" is duplicate.

  In view of the "limited collection" in the mall, some investors have vomited, and some so-called limited collections are "numbered repeatedly". The print number named "The Instructor" is 0014, and this number was traded four times on October 22nd only, and the price was the same. Similar situations have occurred in many collections such as No.0056, No.0250, No.0011, etc. "The official print collection has no value at all, and it has no value for selling collection and secondary market." Nice officially acknowledged this behavior, and then released the notice of print number adjustment of Instructor.

  The platform’s promotion of points may be suspected of "fraud"

  Nice was originally a platform for reselling sneakers. The company’s financial report revealed that in the first quarter of 2022, the revenue was 527 million US dollars, up 15.9% year-on-year, and the cloud revenue was 295 million US dollars, up 29.2% year-on-year. As early as September 24th, 2019, nice launched a 7-day flash purchase full reduction activity. Flash purchase did not need to be delivered, and a large number of users made purchases and resale operations, and the price of single products changed. At one time, the free toy paratroopers given by supreme in the opening season rose from 50 yuan to 2,200 yuan. On September 27th, Zhou Shou, the founder and CEO of the company, issued a letter of apology and expressed his willingness to take responsibility. nice officials came forward to buy back the flash-purchased goods involved in illegal and abnormal price transactions from September 24th to 26th.

  Why is the hype repeated? Fang Chaoqiang, a lawyer of Beijing Yingke (Hangzhou) Law Firm, believes that: First, the behavior of this means is relatively "smart" and hidden, and it is difficult to judge whether it constitutes collusion from the law enforcement level; Second, the scarcity of products can be created through large volume without collusion; Third, a considerable number of people were lured by huge profits and acted as "leeks". The more people participated in the "pass the parcel", the higher the price; Fourth, there is a so-called "trendy" platform, which acts as an online trading market for hype, but it is neglected in platform supervision.

  Lawyer Xu Guilin of Beijing Times Jiuhe Law Firm told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that the platform’s promotion of points and its follow-up practices were "false propaganda" or suspected of "fraud".

The latecomers came from Geely Xingrui Static Contrast Volkswagen Sagitar.

  [car home PK] (|), a name familiar to China families, can be said to be a product that has laid the tone of the compact car market. After several generations, it can still be sought after by consumers. In addition to the sufficient strength of the product itself, the trust in the Volkswagen brand is also an important factor. However, with the rise and rapid development of China brand, a number of excellent products are also rapidly becoming the main force in the market, among which Geely Xingrui is the best. It has comprehensive strength from CMA platform, and will be more impressed after comparing with Big Brother Sagitar.

Home of the car

  As a compact car promoted by Geely brand, Geely Xingrui has been famous for providing consumers with a higher level of experience since its listing, with a wheelbase of 2800mm and the design, architecture and power of the whole car. At present, all models of Xingrui 2023 come standard with 2.0TD+7-speed wet dual-clutch powertrain, and the manufacturer’s guide price is 113.7-145.7 thousand yuan. We are comparing the only cyan version of Xingrui 2023, which is really national style with the two colors of azurite/azurite. As a top model, it costs 145,700 yuan.

  Sagitar also completed the redesign in late last year, with a total guide price of 12.79-17.29 million yuan. Compared with the old model, there is not much surprise in appearance. The main upgraded parts are the interior, floating touch screen and center console design, which will no longer make you feel so dull and more in line with the aesthetics of today’s car demand. Another change is the addition of a 1.5T engine, which is also the superior version of the model 300TSI DSG we compared. The official guide price is 158,900 yuan, which is more than 10,000 yuan more expensive than Xingrui, but the price of the two car terminals is similar after the discount.

  Xingrui gives people a calm atmosphere. There are no gaudy elements, but this car will not be monotonous. Only this turquoise version also comes with a sports kit, including the front-enclosed decoration, red brake calipers and duck tail. The appearance of these elements on Xingrui did not destroy the overall coordination, but also played a role in enhancing the face value. Compared with Xingrui, sagitar’s design is more inclined to the traditional family car, and there are no complicated lines and designs, which will be relatively dull. The standard rim star Rui is 18 inches, sagitar is 17 inches, and there are certain differences in temperament.

Official Media Review 996: Illegal, Overworked and Fake Struggle

  Recently, the discussion on the topic of "996 working system" has been heating up. The so-called "996 working system" means that employees arrive at work at 9: 00 a.m. every day and work until 9: 00 p.m., six days a week. From an Internet company’s public announcement at the annual meeting to the "996.ICU" protest initiated by programmers, and to the opinions expressed by many star entrepreneurs in recent days, this topic has become a social hot spot of concern to the whole people. The semi-monthly talk, which has the reputation of being the first magazine in China, has repeatedly commented on the 996 working system and analyzed it from different angles.

Talk about 996— — Keywords "illegal"

  [Advocating the 996 working system, who gave "praise" the courage to openly violate the law? 】

  At the company’s annual meeting in 2018, which was praised by e-commerce, executives announced on the spot that they would implement the 996 working system in the future, and even said that they could divorce if their work-family balance was not good, which not only made some employees feel dissatisfied, but also caused controversy. Praise CEO White Crow responded that it is definitely a good thing to look back this time a few years later, so that more people can understand the praise culture, and it will also make talents think carefully when they want to enter, so that they will not be different before and after coming.

  Article 36 of China’s labor law: the state implements a working-hour system in which workers work no more than eight hours a day and no more than forty-four hours a week on average; Article 90 stipulates that if an employer violates the provisions of this law and extends the working hours of workers, the labor administrative department shall give a warning, order it to make corrections and may impose a fine.

  According to the Youzan 996 working system, employees work up to 11.5 hours a day and work overtime for more than 100 hours a month, which obviously exceeds the working hours stipulated by the state. "Zanzan" made a big splash when it announced this illegal work system, and it was also justified when it responded. However, no matter whether "praise" wants to take the opportunity to lay off people or reduce wages in disguise, CEO regards illegality as a "good thing" and sublimates it into corporate culture. This is not only a problem of distorted values, but also a bad environment with high cost of safeguarding rights and low risk of illegality in the current labor market. Rights protection can’t rely solely on individuals, and relevant departments must "shoot when it’s time to shoot" according to law. At present, many enterprises are talking about the wolf nature. This desperate working mode, after putting on the coat of "struggle", has almost become a poisonous chicken soup for squeezing employees. I hope those companies that advocate the 996 working system and regard it as the standard understand that before talking about wolf nature, we must first talk about human nature. For those enterprises that deliberately ignore human nature and want to decorate the facade by one or two "family days", the relevant departments must be tough, give employees the confidence to defend their rights, and let the enterprises involved see the severity of the law.

Two Comments on Half-monthly Talks 996— — Keywords "overwork"

  [Beware of the normalization of the "996" working system that gave birth to the "overworked generation"]

  Nowadays, the trend of 996 working system spreading from internet companies to various industries is worrying. Many workers are trapped by this working system and forced to become "overworked generation" in endless overtime. This means that in the state that the 996 working system has become a hidden rule in the industry, even if you choose to change jobs, you still can’t get rid of the overtime curse. It is the workplace that changes and the working hours remain unchanged.

  In fact, the 996 working system has been invisible for many years. However, it used to be covered with a layer of "flexible working system", but now it is openly declared as a normal working mode by some companies. Some companies use the so-called "struggle" to whitewash the 996 working system, and some companies use "high salary" to achieve a game with workers on the 996 working system. While the downward pressure on the economy is increasing, more companies normalize the 996 working system, while doing everything possible to reduce the overtime pay that workers deserve, so as to save costs and increase profits.

  The social harm of 996 working system is self-evident, which overdraws the health and energy of workers, damages the interest and enthusiasm of a generation for work, and then has a negative impact on sustainable economic development and social harmony. Perhaps at present, the number of enterprises implementing the 996 working system has not reached the majority, but in the public opinion field with the magnifying effect of the Internet, the dissatisfaction caused by 996 is immeasurable to the society. A few days ago, an article "In my parents ‘ 996’ In front of us, the news that Japanese young people choose low desire has aroused people’s concern, and we should be alert to the hidden worries behind it.

  In the face of the 996 working system, which is striding forward to normalization, the government labor department and the relevant institutions on which workers rely for safeguarding their rights cannot remain silent. After all, people work for a better life, not to give up their lives for work.

Three Comments on Half-monthly Talks 996— — Keywords "pseudo-struggle"

  [996 has nothing to do with struggle, but with interests]

  The discussion on the 996 working system in the public opinion field has been going on for some time, but it is still not over, and even "climax after climax" from time to time. This in itself is a puzzling phenomenon: why has an obviously illegal practice been standing, even entangled in the basic right and wrong issues? I’m afraid the reason lies in the related interests, so that the defenders of 996 refused to admit it even in the face of common sense recognized by most people.

  Needless to say, the defenders of 996 have a strong lineup, among which there are some star entrepreneurs that our society most respects. Their arguments themselves have a strong personality color, and naturally have the star aura of the protagonist, so they are very confusing.

  Moreover, some people are good at occupying the commanding heights of morality. For example, their core "rhetoric" is to link, bind and even uniquely equate 996 with struggle. In their discussion, 996 is illegal and unreasonable, which is nothing, as long as a "struggle" is enough: without struggle, where can there be a future? No, where did 996 come from? For the future, shouldn’t it be 996? For the future, it must be 996! Only 996!

  In order to "consolidate" this logic, "winners" presented their own "selfless work" and moved out a large set of tall sayings and examples, even "two bombs and one star" were used to say things. They even stigmatized the legal 8-hour work as the opposite of 996. Those who work honestly for 8 hours just don’t work hard, struggle, seek stability, "have no future" and so on. This is a series of extremely confusing operations. It’s a pity that this logic is wrong from the beginning. This artificially set formula "996= Struggle" does not exist, and the resulting series of deductions are naturally just mistakes.

  Struggle must be voluntary, supported by a sense of responsibility for the cause and confidence in the future. For 996, which is enforced by enterprises, if there is no system to implement the rigidity of the consistency of employees’ interests and enterprises’ interests, and there is no system to ensure that employees have a solid future, the struggle cannot exist. When employees lack the protection of long-term contracts, they will be laid off at any time, and there is no definite return to reward their sense of responsibility, even overtime pay. At this time, talking about struggle is tantamount to "why not eat meat?" At the end of the demographic dividend, forcing 996 is a double-edged sword. Squeezing employees by killing the goose that lays the golden eggs will inevitably overdraw the future and bring negative effects to the long-term development of enterprises.

  I have to say that although this bowl of chicken soup carefully cooked by star entrepreneurs looks tall, it is obviously toxic and it is difficult for workers to laugh. What needs to be vigilant is that this kind of poisonous chicken soup argument is tantamount to deconstructing the spirit of struggle and the construction of a society ruled by law. It has been repeatedly brought out, which will interfere with the main theme of the times to carry forward the spirit of struggle and cause ideological confusion.

  996 is not synonymous with struggle, it is more related to legal and interest issues. Advise people who are interested in promoting the normalization of 996: please honestly talk about the interests under the legal framework, don’t confuse the audience with so many lofty words, but actually come up with an interest protection system that allows workers to share joys and sorrows with enterprises. What we need is a legitimate and reasonable spirit of struggle, a spirit of dedication and responsibility to ourselves, our family and our country. If we separate these, the spirit of struggle will become passive water and a tree without roots.
