Hello everyone, welcome to Qiqi Baba, I am Qiqi. These past few days, well, during this period of time, I can't say just these past few days, actually there has always been a very explosive piece of news. Actually, for this matter, I feel like the whole world might be waiting for an investigation result, which is the affair involving Jensen Huang. Originally, an affair is not a big deal, right? For people in their position, to be honest with you friends, I think everyone probably feels the same as me, which is that whoever has an affair, no one will really feel very surprised. Reaching their level, the biggest problem now is that the identity of the person Jensen Huang had an affair with is extremely problematic.

She is a woman clearly identified as a spy for the Chinese Communist Party government, so this issue is relatively serious. In their relationship, did Jensen Huang leak anything? Right? Because after all, he has already reached such a position in the United States, and the information in his hands or mastered by him is definitely different from that of ordinary Americans. Regardless of whether he intentionally leaked it or if this woman inadvertently extracted information from his mouth, it is very dangerous. After this incident happened, Jensen Huang also just released a letter. I won't read the full text of it here, everyone can easily search for Chinese-English bilingual and various versions of it.

Roughly speaking, he said he loves his family very much, and he hopes to rebuild trust and gain forgiveness. Then he also said that he loves the United States very much and loves his country very much, so he will fully cooperate with the investigation and so on. He also said that leading NVIDIA during this period has been very happy. All in all, I want to tell friends about the occurrence of this matter, but I won't make any comments for the time being, because we don't know if anything happened in the middle, and we still need to continue to pay attention and wait for an official American investigation result, because this matter will obviously be investigated to the end.

Today is still the genius secondary landlord series, one door covers eleven households. Let's come in and take a look at the first room. This unit has natural gas, and an official washing machine and refrigerator have always been standard configurations. Opening our wardrobe, the bathroom is relatively compact. Very bright. Next, let's look at the second topic.

This one faces south. A three-door wardrobe, and over here is a four-door wardrobe, a 1.5-meter double bed. Over here is an induction cooker for cooking, a range hood, and a smart washing machine. Pretty good, it is pretty good. Next is the third bedroom with a bed; this bedroom is very bright with a large bay window.

Little helper, let you pee.

The kitchen and bathroom both have doors, and the bathroom also has a window. It is still a concrete building. Next, let's look at the fourth one. This is the fourth one, and also the best large suite, facing south. Coming in, you see the door; over here you can easily cook, and installing a washing machine is a standard feature, along with a two-section bathroom.

Over here is the large bedroom south of the bed. This bedroom is nearly 20 square meters. Next, let's look at the fifth room, this fifth unit. Coming in, there is a hallway. Bathroom.

Well, this one doesn't have a Fanteng washing machine. Over here is the bedroom.

Opened the wardrobe, insisting on not cooking. We have finished looking at the five downstairs, now let's look at the upstairs. There are six more units upstairs. This layout is quite old, looking older than my age, or at least my years. Let's see, shall we go up? Passing the sixth section.

Upstairs, because it's a duplex, the windows upstairs are lower. A three-door laundry cabinet, a bathroom—the downside of this bathroom is that it has no window—the room is okay, and here is the kitchen. A sliding door was installed so that cooking fumes can be separated. Next is the seventh room, still facing south. Coming in, there is first a kitchen, with a two-section bathroom on the right hand side. Over here is our large bedroom with a small bay window. Every bedroom space is standard and proper, not particularly compact.

Next, let's look at the eighth room. This is the bedroom on the south side of the bed. Convenient, all in one. Over here, this space has been raised, getting ready for cooking. That way, going to the toilet and cooking gives you a sense of superiority.

Let's look at the ninth room. This room is just an ultra-beautiful bedroom. Entering the door.

[Video Clip] That thing.

This bed is probably only 1 meter, no wardrobe, just a low cabinet. A small single room, suitable for someone with not many things. Next is the tenth room. Coming in, to the left of the door is the kitchen.

Over here is the bedroom, and the overall space of the bedroom is okay. Why does this mattress feel like an old one? This landlord is still a bit stingy. Over here is a little Jap. The bathroom has a window. Ten rooms, and over here is the eleventh room. Currently, someone has already moved in. You can tell that these houses are in high demand now. I wonder what everyone thinks about this renovation into eleven units?

Actually, after looking at this, what is the most important thing? Do friends know? That is, nowadays people, look at how they can only live in what I think is a rat's nest; this description should be quite accurate. That is, a 156-square-meter apartment is renovated into eleven rooms, because renting them out individually is hard. Many people say, "Ah, this might be to make more money." Indeed, that is one of the reasons, we have to admit it. Look, if you split one apartment into eleven rooms to rent separately, even if the rent for each person is very small, adding it up will definitely be more profitable than renting out the whole apartment.

But the more crucial point is that since the landlord dares to do this, it proves that the demand for this kind of housing is greater across Shanghai as a whole, rather than for whole individual apartments. Because if individual apartments could be rented out, then it would also be more cost-effective and much more convenient for you! Considering utilities, furniture maintenance, and all other aspects, if you can rent it as a whole, renting it as a whole is definitely more convenient. But why did they do this? It proves that this demand is greater. Through this, we can actually roughly infer the structure of the migrant population in Shanghai: a relatively large population is single, with low salaries, but still in need of a little personal space. In other words, there are still quite a few people going to Shanghai nowadays to try their luck, but the difficulty of earning an income has definitely increased a lot compared to before; it has become much harder. Otherwise, things like

[Video Clip: Wife of a Middle-Aged Unemployed Man] My husband was born in 1982. Ever since he resigned at the beginning of this year, he has been unemployed at home for over half a year. As an HR professional, I know that at his age, finding a job is basically impossible, so I have completely given up on the idea that he will be able to find one. We have elderly parents to support and children to raise, and it is too early for retirement, so he has to do something. My husband and I have been racking our brains: at his age, without any technical skills, what else can we do? Many netizens have offered suggestions, like driving for Didi. We ruled that out because if he drives for Didi, he would definitely have to rent a car, and it is very exhausting every day, with not much money left in his pocket. Besides, there are many traps in car rentals; in the end, he might not earn any money and could even end up with debt. Secondly, netizens suggested delivering packages or food. I passed on those too, because they are extremely exhausting and the risk factor is particularly high, especially food delivery, where the time pressure is so intense. I feel that in the end, the losses would outweigh the gains, so I ruled those out as well. Some netizens suggested opening a snack shop, setting up a small storefront, or running a street stall. Well, my husband doesn't have any cooking skills, so that's not suitable to begin with. Secondly, opening a snack shop requires little investment, but the possibility of failure is very high. With my husband having no skills, the probability of failure is basically 100%. Also, for a snack shop, the revenue—you work yourself to death, and I feel you might only make one or two thousand a day. After deducting all expenses, the income might only be a few thousand yuan, which doesn't seem to make much sense, so I ruled that out too. So what else can we do? Street stalls? Hangzhou doesn't really have places where we are allowed to set up stalls, right? After thinking it over and discussing it with my husband, we felt that doing self-media might be a more suitable direction. Because doing self-media doesn't require much investment. Unlike opening a shop, it only takes a mobile phone and some time. While doing self-media, he might be able to take care of the family, including doing some housework and picking up or dropping off the kids at school, etc. The third reason is that I think the internet has infinite possibilities, so we thought about letting him try the path of internet self-media, but it is actually quite difficult. Does anyone have any other better paths? Please provide some advice for us middle-aged people, because we really cannot think of any better options. I hope everyone can offer some advice, thank you.

Many people might say: "Can't you still deliver food after becoming unemployed?" Let's look at the current state of food delivery.

[Video Clip: Food Delivery Rider] Heaven is trying to kill me! Two days ago I could still earn enough for food, today I can't even earn that. I came out at 10:30, it's 11:30 now, an hour has passed, and I haven't received a single order. This is the peak lunch hour! This is the peak lunch hour! There was an order for 2.3 yuan just now, I hesitated for a second, and it was snatched by someone else.

[Video Clip: Food Delivery Rider] Everyone must be crazy! If everyone works like this, the delivery price will drop even further. Today I only snatched three orders in two hours and earned 11 yuan, no exaggeration. An order for 3 yuan on the sixth floor was gone in a second; you can't even snatch it, you don't even have a chance to compete. It's too hard to handle.

[Video Clip: Female Food Delivery Rider] No, I want to ask, does food delivery have a hibernation period? Now that the weather has turned cold, I can't get any orders. Are you all not ordering anymore? Are you not hungry? Are you all cooking at home? Huh? I remember before, when it was cold, even though people didn't order much, if it was cold and raining, people would order. Now, nobody orders spicy hot pot, nobody orders potato noodles or anything. What's going on? Are you all tired of it? Don't want to eat it anymore? Order quickly, order quickly, be good, I'll deliver it to you even if it's raining. Hmm, mwah, order quickly, be good, otherwise I really can't hold on, I really can't hold on.

Orders are becoming fewer and fewer, and the unit price is becoming lower and lower. Most importantly, another incident was exposed today. I really, I really feel a very eerie mood again, which is that a delivery rider collapsed and started convulsing while delivering an order. It is clear that this was caused by physical exhaustion. Such things are actually happening intensely every day, so everyone is actually taking it for granted.

Look at this incident involving a Chinese food delivery worker in Australia; the whole world is paying attention, and both inside and outside the Great Firewall, it is being reported frantically. Even if the goal inside the Firewall might be to smear the entire civilized world by using this single incident, to claim that their systems and institutions are failing, at least they are finally willing to speak up for an ordinary person struggling to survive, right? At least it was reported. But what if this incident had happened exactly the same way inside the Firewall? I suspect that anyone who talked about it would have their account disappear. I really find it hard to imagine anyone being able to openly discuss this matter on a platform; it is absolutely impossible, it is definitely impossible. So, just based on this point alone, have you still not realized what is wrong with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)?
