In this regard, Li Bin, the founder, chairman, and CEO of Weilai, said that this adjustment has been discussed internally for a long time, and some users' opinions and suggestions have been listened to. There are too many aspects to consider, and I am still debating at three o'clock today. Now is the most suitable time for release, and there must be some things that are not well thought out, and it is impossible to satisfy everyone.
FTC blocks Microsoft's acquisition of Blizzard
June 13 news, according to foreign media reports, on Monday local time, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed a lawsuit in San Francisco federal court to prevent Microsoft from acquiring Activision Blizzard.
On the same day, the FTC filed an application with the San Francisco Federal Court for a temporary restraining order and injunction to prevent Microsoft from acquiring Activision Blizzard. According to the lawsuit, the FTC asked for the temporary restraining order to take effect by 9 p.m. PT on Thursday.
"Both the temporary restraining order and the preliminary injunction are necessary because Microsoft and Activision Blizzard have indicated that they may complete the proposed acquisition at any time without further notice to the FTC," the FTC said in the lawsuit.
It is reported that Microsoft announced the acquisition of Activision Blizzard in January this year. The total price of this transaction is 68.7 billion US dollars, and it is expected to be completed in fiscal year 2023. The deal would be Microsoft's largest ever, and by far the largest in video games.
The terms of the deal reportedly set a July 18 closing date, which is now just over a month away.
Microsoft has spent more than a year trying to win global approval for the deal. Regulators in China, Japan, Chile, Brazil, Serbia and Saudi Arabia have already approved the deal. In addition, the European Union has also approved the deal.
While many countries have approved the acquisition, regulators in the United States and the United Kingdom believe it could stifle competition in the video game market.
Last December, the US Federal Trade Commission filed an antitrust lawsuit in its own internal court, trying to block Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. It claimed that the acquisition could harm competition in the gaming industry.
In addition to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, Britain's competition watchdog has also raised questions about the deal. The deal is expected to make Microsoft the world's third-largest video game publisher behind Tencent and Sony.
In February, Britain's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) launched an investigation into Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. After that, Microsoft "failed to address" the concerns expressed by the CMA. As a result, the CMA blocked the acquisition on April 26 over concerns it would stifle competition in the fast-growing cloud gaming market.
It is said that the iPhone 15 washing series has a maximum price increase of 200 US dollars
News on June 13, according to Jiemian News, Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives (Dan Ives) predicted in an interview recently that Apple’s new iPhone 15 series released this fall may increase in price by US$100-200. The new iPhone 15 Pro Max will increase by $200, and the 1TB version of the top-equipped iPhone 15 Pro Max may cost as much as $1,800, making it the most expensive iPhone in history.
According to current news, the new iPhone 15 series has completed trial production at Foxconn, and will be mass-produced at Zhengzhou Foxconn before the end of this month. In addition, Apple has set a very large stocking target for this series of models, with a total of 85-90 million units, of which the two models of the Pro series undoubtedly account for the highest proportion.
According to previously exposed news, the new iPhone 15 series will continue to provide the same four models as the iPhone 14 series, and there are still obvious polarizations. Two of the Pro versions will be equipped with ProMotion displays, and the screen brightness will be further improved. Reaching 2500 nits, the frame will be further narrowed. At the same time, the two will be equipped with a new generation of A17 Bionic. This chip is built on TSMC's 3nm process (N3), and the memory will also be upgraded to 8GB. The top version of the iPhone 15 Pro Max will exclusively use the periscope telephoto this time. The lens supports 6x optical zoom, which is also the first Apple mobile phone with a periscope telephoto. As for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, the A16 Bionic on the iPhone 14 Pro will still be used, and the memory and camera modules have not been significantly upgraded.
Jitu is negotiating with SF Express to become a shareholder
According to the news on June 11, according to "LatePost", SF Express is currently negotiating with Jitu for a shareholding cooperation, and may invest in Jitu Global at a ratio of 1% - 2%. The specific investment amount and cooperation details are still under discussion. The media asked Jitu and SF Express to confirm the news, but no official response was received.
It is reported that in May, Jitu spent 1.18 billion yuan to acquire SF Express, a subsidiary of SF Express, which is an economical express delivery business established by SF Express in 2020. But this deal is just the beginning of the cooperation between the two parties.
For the two companies eager to explore the international market, cooperation is more urgent than competition - Jitu has overseas customer resources, as well as terminal distribution networks in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America; SF Express has China's largest air cargo fleet and rich Aviation trunk network, the two parties can jointly seize this window period faster. Otherwise, they also need to spend three to five years building the infrastructure from the ground up.
