Hello everyone, I'm Lao Bai, Aunt Zhang next door neighbor. “The Story of Worth†brings you together to review the hot spots of the week and look at the people and things behind the hot spots who have ideas and tension.
On April 18, Jiangnan Leather Factory closed down - oh no, Sony's big truck was hijacked.
According to reports, this truck was robbed on the way to the NAB exhibition. The vehicle was loaded with photographic equipment that might be released in the near future, and some accessory products developed by third-party manufacturers.
Don't know if you are afraid of a netizen's story—shock! Legendary Sony flagship single product, actually released in second-hand station.
On April 19th, Sony suddenly made a big move late at night and released the single-camera SLR’s flagship micro-camera, the alpha9 player, which made it difficult for the media to catch up. Of course, the price is also a bit of a square – RMB 3,199.
The truck that was robbed still has no message...
In these years, there have been repeated incidents of the theft of equipment in photographic equipment stores and large-scale exhibitions. VeydraOptics is a California-based lens manufacturer that made a name for itself in 2015 by introducing the M4/3 system mini fixed-focus movie lens.
So he was attacked by a thief. In March, more than 200 mini-film shots in the warehouse, which account for a large proportion of its inventory, were stolen. Each shot costs about $1000 (about ¥6895), so the company expects a total loss of over $200,000.
It is reported that the pirates broke into the Veydra Optics headquarters warehouse in the evening. The following picture shows the stolen warehouse site map:
This large-scale lens theft is not the first time in recent years. In 2014 and 2015, LensProToGo and Blackmagic Design and other manufacturers all had camera thefts, with a maximum loss of $2 million.
In fact, even Sony itself was not the first time it was affected. In April 2016, a Sony truck that transported "Uncharted 4: The Thieves" PS4 game disc was also robbed once. The scene is quite hot. The burglar attacked the loading truck during the robbery. Then there will be a lot of stealthy version of "Uncharted 4: Thieves".
Lao Bai keenly discovered the common ground of these cases—all of which have yet to be solved.
So where are these stolen equipment and games stolen?
black market. For example, Tehran.
The author of VICE, Han Jingyi, discovered a “black shop†in Tehran that sells Western game discs.
In the northeastern corner of Revolution Street in Tehran, there is an excellent location. Different from the fruit shop and bookstore around it, it is simple and plain, without any extra decoration. The only thing that can prompt it is the full game deck on the front door of the game, and the labels on the top with yellow printing paper - "PS2", "PS3" and "XBOX360".
Although Thursday and Friday are Iran’s statutory holidays, pedestrians on the street are less than usual, but in this store, guests are always in a constant stream at any time.
At 10 a.m., the owner, Mohammed, placed game discs such as "NBA2K16", "PES2016", and "Battlefield 4" that had just been filled yesterday in the most prominent position on the shelf. He was prepared to give himself a pot of black tea to welcome a beautiful day. As soon as he walked to the kettle, he seemed to suddenly think of something. He returned to the shelf and moved the Iranian domestic game, which wasn't usually very well-selling.
The 28-year-old Iranian male Mason is a frequent visitor here. Every week, he has to visit one or two times to see if there is a new game. "This has become a habit for me. I will go home after work and play games. I will be able to clear the game with a shorter process.
Due to the stricter system of cultural censorship, the Iranian government strictly controls any forms of entertainment (including Western films, KTV, rock music, table cards, etc.) with Western ideological colors. In addition to climbing mountains, skiing, dining, and visiting the park, it is hard to imagine what other forms of enjoyment in Iran are just right. However, each Iranian youth has a heart to explore, and Iran’s underground game black market has emerged.
Like other smuggled commodities and underground trading markets in Iran, the game black market basically consists of three parts: foreign sources, domestic agents, and consumers. Customer Mason is the terminal link of this cross-border transaction chain. A year ago, Mawson came down to this handsome game store with his friend's recommendation and bought an Xbox 360 game console at the owner's recommendation.
“It is not an easy task to buy a game console on the market. You need to have a 'channel' to get it.†The owner, Mohammed, proudly raised his eyebrows and introduced it mysteriously. He is a 34-year-old young man who has been operating this store for more than three years. According to him, when the business of the store is good, it can earn more than 40 million rials (about 8,000 yuan) in a month.
Because of the small volume of purchases and the distance, together with the middleman's deductions, video game products can be sold in Iran. On the black market, it is not unusual for a host to be fired to about RMB 5,000. The price of game discs is also very expensive, but Iranian businessmen generally sell replicas of their own discs. A licensed game disc with a cover and trademark costs more than 3 times more than a simple disc.
The owner of the shop has a relative who works in Dubai. The two count together and feel that since young people are doing nothing, playing the game is definitely a good choice for both stimulation and decompression. Considering that reselling game devices and CDs may be an opportunity, Muhammad rented a store on the most prosperous Revolution Street.
Since choosing to open a store in a place where people are concentrated, the risk is naturally not small. In the opening years, due to the sale of Western games, Muhammad’s game shops were “closed†three times, and each time they had to pay a large amount of fines and make corrections before they could resume business. The total number of punishments was always higher, and Muhammad also summed up his experience. He began to take bribes and take care of nearby film police so that he could hear the wind before the next cultural cleanup. Pack up the game CDs in advance and give the employees a day off. Mohammed’s shop was also “out of business†on the day of the operation.
Despite the fact that the government has used multiple measures to control Western goods, Western video games are still quietly popular in Iran. To this end, the Iranian government has tried every means to promote the development of the domestic video game market. In order to open up the domestic video game market, the government encourages the establishment of cultural and technological enterprises, holds a large-scale game exhibition every year, and promotes domestic video games. Even so, Iran’s domestic games have been criticized for “few typesâ€, “rough productionâ€, “poor playability†and “single contentâ€.
"Every year I will go to the video game show, but I'm almost disappointed again." Mawson reluctantly spread the hand. "Even though the game is new each year, it's nothing more than those kinds of boring types: either Bao Jiawei The country's first-person shooter, or a propaganda-type game developed by how the martyrs were formed, did not even like primary school students."
Compared with domestic games, western games emphasize interactivity more, game production levels are more sophisticated, categories are more abundant, and restrictions are less.
"Can you imagine that in Iran's many video games, women still wear turbans and wear black robes?" When I asked about Iranian domestic games, an employee called Ali in the Mohammed shop could not help but interrupted. He was tall and skinny, and he didn't speak much on weekdays. He just sat down at the cash register to play PSV, networked through WiFi, and played against the global PES masters. “The store can sell 2,30 game discs when it's in a good business. The domestically produced ones may only have 3 or 5 cards. Since they are all gamers, who would deliberately play domestically?†Ali muttered. One sentence.
“The majority of young people coming here are young people, but young people are not the most consumer groups.†The shopkeepers said that young people are generally constrained by money and family, and they rarely have enough pocket money to buy a host or consume. Follow-up games. The main consumers of video games are young people aged 26-35. They have income, have purchasing power, and have the space to play games independently, not subject to family constraints.
“Expensive prices are certainly one of the reasons for the sparse players, but more importantly, most Iranians are still accustomed to playing games at home rather than in public places.†When asked if a newly opened game hall will become his Competitors, Muhammad, seemed to have no plans to ignore these games halls. He knew the reason why the game rooms were sparse. “People are worried about the day when the government will seize these game rooms. In Iran, you will always keep all entertainment activities underground and at home.â€

Electric Vehicle Battery Supply
Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are currently used in most portable consumer electronics such as cell phones and laptops because of their high energy per unit mass relative to other electrical energy storage systems. They also have a high power-to-weight ratio, high energy efficiency, good high-temperature performance, and low self-discharge. Most components of lithium-ion batteries can be recycled, but the cost of material recovery remains a challenge for the industry. The U.S. Department of Energy is also supporting the Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Prize to identify solutions for collecting, sorting, storing, and transporting spent and discarded lithium-ion batteries for eventual recycling and materials recovery. Most of today's PHEVs and EVs use lithium-ion batteries, though the exact chemistry often varies from that of consumer electronics batteries. Research and development are ongoing to reduce their relatively high cost, extend their useful life, and address safety concerns in regard to overheating.
