“As the name suggests, Singles' Day used to be 24 hours long. But this year's version started on Oct. 20, with consumers paying deposits for the "pre-sale" of products and entering a three-day "regular sale" period on Nov. 1. This was followed by another pre-sale period for seven days, and then finally, the Nov. 11 sale. For one, extending the shopping window encourages more consumption. It also helps vendors and suppliers meet the mounting demand that occurs around Singles' Day. A long pre-sale period allows them to gauge consumer interest and coordinate production based on the pre-orders. This is especially important in a year when the global supply chain has been greatly impeded by the pandemic. A decade after its creation, Singles' Day is no longer a flashy event that keeps everyone in China on their toes. GMV numbers will keep growing, and vendors will still break new records in the amount and speed of their sales. But ordinary consumers can go to bed early without fearing they'll miss much. ” https://t.cn/z8yFjHQ

#芒格金句#

When I reached a certain stage in my life, I was determined to become a rich person. This is not because of the love of money, but because of the pursuit of the feeling of independence. I like to be able to express my thoughts freely, rather than being swayed by the will of others.
走到人生的某一个阶段时，我决心要成为一个富有之人。这并不是因为爱钱的缘故，而是为了追求那种独立自主的感觉。我喜欢能够自由地说出自己的想法，而不是受到他人意志的左右。

" Life is not like this, it can only grow after repeated tests; Life is not like this, even if it rains and snows, we should pursue sunshine."人生不就是这样，经历过一次次考验才能成长;人生不就是这样，哪怕雨雪霏霏也要去追寻阳光。愿你也能追逐到属于自己的那束光。早安~
