[Epoch Times October 28, 2021]Hello, everyone, and welcome to the “News Story Surprise”, my name is Daewoo.
Today’s focus: Musk is back as the richest man in the world, and the song “Crowds of the Sun” is also on fire! Huang Mingzhi talks about the reasons for the success of “Glass Heart”; he still has a family without enough flatness; there are new taxes after the real estate tax; the CCP is disturbed, and the privileged class in Putian and Wuhan have been wiped out, and there has been an explosion in Shandong and Zhejiang! Vegetable prices have skyrocketed; “Huan Shi” said that Taiwan’s 180,000 “strawberry soldiers”.
[Musk re-enters the world’s richest man and super oil giant Bezos to build a space station]
From Microsoft’s Bill Gates to Amazon’s Bezos, prominent positions on the list of the world‘s richest people have long been occupied by giants who have become rich in technology. However, few people who sell cars or make rockets can make it to this list, or even become the world‘s richest man. Now there is an exception, Elon Musk.
On October 25th, Musk’s electric car company Tesla’s share price soared above 115.18 U.S. dollars and closed at 1024.86 U.S. dollars, making Tesla’s market value surpassing 1 trillion U.S. dollars, becoming the following Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Facebook. After that, another American company with a market value of over $1 trillion.
Tesla’s boss, Musk, also benefited from holding 23% of Tesla’s shares. He regained the throne of the world’s richest man with a net worth of 288.6 billion U.S. dollars. He alone is better than Exxon Mobil, the largest U.S. oil company. Of 272.4 billion US dollars, but also rich.
This time, Musk would also like to thank Hertz, the largest car rental company in the United States. This company will replace all of its cars with electric cars in the future. The total number will reach 500,000. Recently, they placed an order for 100,000 electric cars with Musk’s Tesla company. The total value is About 4.2 billion U.S. dollars. This is also the largest order in Tesla’s history, and it also makes Tesla’s stock soar. Musk really appreciates Hertz.

Amazon’s Jeff Bezos is right behind and now ranks second in the world, but as of October 26, his net worth is US$196 billion, which is much worse than the US$288.6 billion of Musk, who ranked first. But Bezos, like the “Martian” Musk, also has his own space dream.
On October 25, when Musk returned to the top of the rich list, Bezos announced that it would build a commercial space station that can accommodate 10 people, and it is expected to start using it between 2025 and 2030. This space station will be named “Orbital Reef”, which can probably be translated as “orbital reef”, mainly for countries, enterprises, media, scientific research institutions, etc. that do not currently have space capabilities, using this commercial space station for research.
[The mainland’s richest people continue to suffer, Jack Ma’s fall, and China’s richest man replaces early]
While the rich Americans continue to make big money and chase their dreams, the rich in China are overwhelmed by the CCP’s internal fighting, political rectification, border control, and wealth bubbles. But having said that, their original path to entrepreneurship was indispensable to dealing with officialdom. Only by having relationships and backing can they stand alive. This is the development method of private enterprises with the characteristics of the Chinese Communist Party.
And everyone knows that Musk’s Tesla, whose market value was similar to that of China’s Tencent and Alibaba before, was even lagging behind, but now it steadily lags behind these companies.
Also in accordance with the latest ranking on October 26, the highest ranking in mainland China is the founder of “Nongfu Spring” Zhong Suisui, with a net worth of US$66.1 billion, ranking 19th in the world; followed by Zhang Yiming of TikTok (TikTok) with US$59.4 billion , Ranked 21st; Tencent’s Ma Huateng ranked 29th with a net worth of 49.7 billion U.S. dollars; Ma Yun was next. He was beaten up in the last year, and now he has a net worth of 41.7 billion U.S. dollars, ranking 33rd in the world.
Further on, there is Wei Jianjun, Chairman of Great Wall Motors, ranked 37th in the world, with a net worth of US$32.9 billion. Not far from him is Li Ka-shing, a wealthy Hong Kong man, whose current net worth is US$32.3 billion, ranking 40th in the world. The above ranking is based on the real-time update of the Forbes billionaire list.
[Hengda Xu Jiayin fell even worse, the authorities gave him a “heavy task”]
In fact, what we mentioned above are all public rankings of private entrepreneurs in China. In fact, the richest in China are red powerful families, who are completely invisible on this public rich list.
As for the boss of Evergrande, “Xu Jiayin,” who is said to be very fond of ostentatiousness and walks out in private, he is currently ranked 203th in the world and has $11.4 billion in personal assets. Because of the recent crisis of Evergrande, Xu Jiayin’s ranking has also fallen sharply.
According to reports from Bloomberg and Hong Kong’s Ming Pao, the Chinese Communist Party authorities are now requesting Hengda’s Xu Jiayin to use his personal wealth to alleviate Evergrande’s debt crisis. But according to Xu Jiayin’s public private assets, he has only 11.4 billion U.S. dollars. As of June 31 this year, Evergrande’s debt reached more than 300 billion U.S. dollars. According to his own current assets, he sold 10 Xu Jiayins. If you post another Jack Ma, it’s still not up.
The Bloomberg report also said that whether Xu Jiayin’s wealth is enough to pay Evergrande’s liabilities is questionable. The Beijing authorities made the decision on September 23 this year after Xu Jiayin’s first foreign dollar debt interest expired. Related decisions. At the same time, various local governments are paying close attention to Evergrande’s bank accounts, so that these Evergrande bank funds are not used to pay creditors, but to quickly complete the unfinished real estate project. Regarding the debt, I’m sorry, so I asked Xu Jiayin to cover it out of his own pocket.
This again reflects the signal that the Beijing authorities do not want to reach out to save Xu Jiayin, and many analysts have also mentioned that Xu Jiayin’s path to prosperity is closely linked to the Jiang faction’s Zeng Qinghong family. This may also be the result of Xu Jiayin’s encounter with Xi Jinping’s neglect. reason.
Now let Xu Jiayin pay for the debt by himself, so after that, if everyone sees a tramp in the streets of Shenzhen, who looks like a former rich man named Xu, you might as well call “Lao Xu” to say hello, maybe not wrong person.
[The Chinese Communist Party wants to be a “ten thousand tax master”. Real estate tax under the slogan of common prosperity is only the first step]
But other wealthy people in China are not safe. The CCP’s “common prosperity” is not just yelling, yelling is to be realized, it can’t be realized, and it’s not easy to do. How to achieve it? Now everyone is paying attention to this “real estate tax”. This starting point is related to Xi Jinping’s “common prosperity” plan, but the “real estate tax” is only the beginning, and the CCP wants to be a “ten thousand tax master”.
This so-called “common prosperity” has been regarded as a major ruling goal of the CCP. On the evening of October 24, the party media Xinhua News Agency issued an article titled “Ten Questions about the Chinese Economy”. It mentioned that “authoritative figures” believed that the main social contradictions faced by the CCP’s current ruling foundation have changed. “Contradictions”, the party media said, are “income polarization and unfair distribution.” Therefore, to “divide the cake”, the method is to rob the rich and help the poor. Of course, it doesn’t say that, and it denies that it’s robbing the rich and helping the poor. The CCP likes to use new terms. For this reason, it has coined a new saying, “Reasonably regulate high income and ban illegal income.” Does this sound easy? too much? (Surprised by news stories)
Immediately afterwards, on the 25th, the Beijing-based large foreign propaganda media Duowei.com published an inciting article saying that the “authoritative person” mentioned in the article “Ten Questions about China’s Economy” published by Xinhua News Agency may be an “authoritative person”. The “writing group” is likely to be directly in charge of Xi Jinping’s economic think tank “Liu He”, which represents Xi Jinping’s own views and attitudes.
Overseas media “Voice of Hope” quoted former CCP General Secretary Zhao Ziyang’s think tank “Wu Guoguang” as saying that the high-speed economic growth of China used to cover up the problem of the gap between the rich and the poor in society. Now the economic downturn has brought this problem to the fore. Use “common prosperity” to draw the pie. Let some leeks with low education and few sources of information get another wave of excitement. But in fact, this “main contradiction” between the rich and the poor has always existed in the past, and the CCP has never paid attention to it. Now it has been specifically proposed for political stability.
Therefore, the Chinese Communist Party proposed a real estate tax. According to the economist Ren Zeping, the tax borne by Chinese residents is mainly “income tax” and property tax is almost “zero”. This includes real estate and inheritance, etc., while real estate tax is collected. The so-called “reasonable adjustment of high income” is a key step.
The Chinese Communist Party’s official media also mentioned China’s “high-net-worth, high-income” groups in a report this summer, saying that Shanghai, Hebei, Jiangxi and other provinces have already geared up for these high-income groups and are preparing to impose similar “high-income taxes”. “s things. However, what exactly is “high net worth and high income” and how to define it is still controversial within China.
Just like real estate tax from discussion and debate to pilot projects, the adjustment of tax and fee measures for China’s “high net worth and high income” groups is currently drooling and discussing how the CCP can better serve the wealthy in China. Provide “precise service” for tax payment.
[Many places in the mainland are so poor that they can only eat meat and vegetables, prices have soared, and explosions have occurred in two places]
In doing so, can China’s general income or low-income groups really benefit? Under the Chinese Communist system, many people may not feel optimistic.
Just recently, the vast majority of ordinary people in China are still in constant trouble. After experiencing summer floods and power outages in autumn, it is now coming to winter, and the electricity problem has not been completely solved. As a result, I went to the market to buy vegetables and found that the supply of green vegetables has begun to be tight and prices have risen again. In Beijing, Chinese cabbage sells for 9 yuan per catty; in Jiaozhou, Shandong, lentils cost 7 or 8 yuan per catty; in Shenzhen, spinach sells for more than ten to 20 yuan per catty, and the normal price should be 6-8 yuan. Many vegetable vendors said that they had never experienced a price increase so severely.
According to data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the Mainland, from October 15 to 22, the prices of 19 kinds of green vegetables in 286 production and sales areas across the country increased by 11.6% on average over the previous week and 27.4% over the same period last year. Spinach, cabbage, beans, Celery, eggplant, etc. rose the most. In many places, green vegetables are more expensive than meat, and many people are forced to pay for meat instead of eating vegetables.
Some mainland netizens uploaded pictures and compared the difference between the “pork stewed cabbage vermicelli” in the past few years. It shows that in the past two years, there was only a small piece of pork, but now, they only dare to put more pork instead of greens.
The reason is that this year’s vegetable growing season, major vegetable producing areas such as Hebei, Henan, Shandong, etc., have been frequently hit by heavy rains and floods this year, resulting in a large-scale reduction in vegetable production, and many vegetables were soaked in the ground. If the price of green vegetables is going to fall, it will take at least one or two months.
At the same time, recent explosions in many parts of China have also attracted attention. Following the explosions in Shenyang, Dalian, Inner Mongolia, and Nanjing, there have been at least two explosions in recent days.
On October 25, a “tank truck” in Maqiao, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, suddenly exploded in the parking lot. Two people at the scene were shocked, but they were not killed on the spot. Instead, they were burnt badly and died in the end. . According to preliminary investigations, it is said that the explosion was caused by a truck owner named Huang and a repairman named Cheng in Hubei while cutting the oil storage tank.
In addition, in the early morning of October 26, a very tragic explosion occurred in a chemical plant in Gaoqing County, Zibo City, Shandong Province. The plant was turned into a piece of scorched earth, dense smoke was over the city, and the shock waves from the explosion shattered the doors and windows of nearby residents. But up to now, the mainland official media only said that the explosion caused one person to be injured, and the explosion was caused by the leakage of the valve containing the dangerous gas butadiene.
[Putian murder case just ended, another party secretary in Wuhan jumped off the Yangtze River after the murderer was killed]
Many friends are surprised by the frequent explosions on the mainland. Since the explosion on Taiyuan Street in Shenyang on October 21, there have been at least six violent oil and gas explosions in a row. Similarly, there have been frequent incidents of extreme killings by ordinary people in retaliation against bullies and party officials in mainland China in recent days.
A few days ago, Ou Jinzhong, a native of Putian, lived in a tin house for six years, but because of local regulations, neighbors must sign permission to build a house. In 2017, Ou Jinzhong demolished his old house and prepared to build a new house. However, because the “village tyrant” neighbours maliciously obstructed it, the building has not been built for a few years. However, the “village tyrant” neighbors lived in comfort and often stayed with friends. A short film was posted to laugh at Ou Jinzhong’s tin house, and there were also local village officials who acted as village tyrants’ umbrellas.
Ou Jinzhong petitioned for help everywhere, but in the end he received no response. As a result, one day in October this year, there was a strong wind in the area. Ou Jinzhong lived in a temporary tin house for six years. A large piece of it was torn apart by the strong wind. After the wind and rain, Ou Jinzhong went outside to pick up scraps of tin and prepare to rebuild the house. As a result, those pieces of iron sheet just fell on the village tyrant’s vegetable plot. Ou Jinzhong went to pick it up and was scolded by the village tyrant. On the afternoon of October 10, Ou Jinzhong entered the village tyrant’s house with a knife to kill, causing two deaths and three injuries. Ou Jinzhong immediately escaped. .
The official mainland media said that Ou Jinzhong committed suicide after being discovered by the police in a local cave on October 18. However, whether he committed suicide is still controversial in public opinion. However, many mainland netizens gave sympathy to Ou Jinzhong, the “murderer” described by the official media.
As a result, the Putian case didn’t take long. In the early morning of October 25, Gao Mouhui, a man in Caidian District, Wuhan, killed 5 people with a knife and killed two more while fleeing. Finally, after escaping to the Yangtze River Bridge, he jumped off the bridge, but his life is unknown and the police are still searching.
The person killed was the family of the local party branch secretary of Luohan Village in Caidian District, “Zhang Qihong”. Zhang Qihong began serving as the party branch secretary of Luohan Village in July 2020. In 2016, he was notified by Wuhan authorities for privately distributing subsidies to his nephew. In March 2017, he was also given a warning.
But what kind of personal grievance Zhang Qihong had with Gao Mouhui is still a mystery. There is a saying that Gao Mouhui had been in jail for many years, and he recently lived with his parents after being released from prison. He contracted a fish pond in the village, and the fish pond was later expropriated, but Gao Mouhui did not get the compensation, so he went to look for it. Zhang Qihong talks. But how the two talked, and whether the fish pond compensation was not issued is related to Zhang Qihong, these outsiders do not yet know. However, Gao Mouhui killed five members of a family including Zhang Qihong, and killed another person on the way to escape. Then he hijacked a car, killed the driver, and ran away, killing two more lives on the road.
The officials in the CCP system do not have great privileges. The low-level officials can’t make any big money. Excluding the official positions, they are actually the same as the ordinary people. Unlike the real red dignitaries, there are guards, guards and guards, and the protection of the army called the “Liberation Army”, which is actually the “SS Army”. But he also followed other party officials to learn about corruption, and once something went wrong, he couldn’t protect himself. In-party notifications to criticize and capture models are usually such party officials who have little background or lose power in internal struggles.
Especially this kind of small officials like the village party secretary thinks that he is superior, but in fact he is nothing. Compared with the real red powerful, he has no ability to protect himself. So people like this may still do less bad things and be more sober. I remember that in a certain place in China last year, there was a meeting with the village party secretary, and the villagers went in with explosives and killed him. There are other examples. Through these examples, we can also see that with the Communist Party system, this kind of corruption from top to bottom, without the protection of the SS and the “Gestapo” of public security at all levels, is actually very dangerous to face angry people.
[“Glass Heart” in the overseas fire brainwashing dance music “Crowds of the Sun” became popular in the mainland]
But there are also small Chinese people, just those little pink and old pink, blindly defending the system. Recently, the talented singer Huang Mingzhi and his partner Chen Fangyu released a new song “Glass Heart”. Now it seems that the number of viewers is almost 20 million, and the rush is very fast. This song is the pink group that is fiercely in the acid continent, and my friends must have heard it. Singer Huang Mingzhi said that this song will attract such attention, which means that many people have awakened.
However, with the popularity of “Glass Heart”, another song in mainland China also quietly became popular. It praised the “Chaoyang Crowds” who volunteered to be the CCP’s eyeliner. The song’s name was “Chaoyang Crowds”. The pianist Li Yundi was arrested for prostitution last week and was reported by the “Crowds of Chaoyang”. This is a non-governmental organization in Beijing, China that assists the authorities in maintaining stability. It is under the command of the authorities. The task is to monitor every move of the community, strolling on the street when nothing is wrong, staring at it and nagging. They are all concerned. They wear red armbands and act as the eyes and ears of the CCP all day long, reporting people and things that the CCP considers dangerous to the Public Security Bureau. Many people are retired women in Beijing, so the nickname of “Chaoyang People” is also called “Mother Chaoyang”.
The song “Crowds of Chaoyang”, which became popular on the mainland, was launched in 2016 and was specially used by the Public Security Bureau of Chaoyang District, Beijing to thank the “Crowds of Chaoyang”. The lyrics said: Look at today’s headlines, bad guys have been reported, unhealthy, pornographic, gambling, drugs, no one can escape, who is so powerful, the news is accurate and reliable, it turned out to be the sunrise crowd.
When this song was performed on the stage, the dancers were accompanied by a bunch of Aunt Chaoyang wearing red armbands. It’s just that what these people report is not necessarily bad people or bad things, but it may also be dissidents from the CCP or people who the authorities don’t like. Moreover, the existence of this kind of organization itself is an extension of the CCP’s spy methods, which is very disgraceful and will not be tolerated in the communities of democratic countries.
[Lying flat is not enough, but also a family, Hu Xijin said that Taiwan’s 180,000 “Strawberry Soldiers” received “Beautiful Pictures”]
The CCP authorities seem to be very keen to monitor the people for the security of the regime, but the real needs of the Chinese people are not keen to solve them. This year, the term “lying flat” has become popular in China. Young people do not buy houses, marry, or have children, and live with the lowest desires. This has caused Xi Jinping’s authorities to directly express their opposition to “lying flat”. However, it may not be enough to lie flat now, and some people are beginning to become a monk.
On October 25, Tencent.com published the article “Media People Resign and Go to the Monastery!” This young man is escaping from work? “. It is mentioned in the article that some young people in China suffer from “work aversion”, which means that they hate going to work. For example, Yang Linxin, a newspaper editor in Beijing, is only 26 years old, but because his salary is not rising, his girlfriend breaks up, and other reasons, he refuses to work in the secular world. To develop, skip lying down, go to a monastery to become a monk, eat fast and recite the Buddha.
However, some people of this type of “work-weary” also travel far away, or rent new houses to experience life in various low-rent places, to relieve their boredom.
The CCP media rarely discusses these private situations in depth and “close to the ground”. It is either a policy-level talk or an idealism that is far from reality. Such “concern” is that no normal people are willing. I really went to see it. However, the Party stereotypes in the CCP media are full of empty soulless articles that walk through the scene seriously, and what they say is all specious.
The party media “Global Times” and its editor-in-chief Hu Xijin often talk about the international situation, but they don’t give a glance at the real people’s shouts.
Recently, the “Global Times” of the Communist Party of China issued another article criticizing Taiwan and the United States. Said that the Taiwan army is vulnerable, and it has to shape itself as the frontier of the World Democratic Front. If you really want to fight, you should engage in a military service system. The 180,000 Taiwanese national army is called the “Strawberry Soldier”.
“Circle Time” published this article because the American “Wall Street Journal” published an article saying that Taiwan’s combat readiness was insufficient and the morale of men in service was low. Weeds and sweeping leaves. The Wall Street Journal therefore suggested that the US and Taiwan armies should train together. But for these remarks, Taiwan’s Defense Minister denied it, saying that the national army does not have “strawberry soldiers” and has confidence in the soldiers.
At the same time, the CCP’s “Global Times” also scolded the United States, saying that the United States used Taiwan as a card, and that the current government is the most incompetent and depraved government in the history of the United States. I think some netizens are very interesting. After the “Global Times” and Hu Xijin made relevant remarks, they sent a picture as a comment, and named the cultural relic in the picture “Jig Sucking”, which represents all they have in mind. Complex feelings.
