Just as I stepped out of my residential building, a young man in his early twenties approached me. He was wearing a black T-shirt with the green characters “Pupu” printed on the right chest and back. With no promotional materials or gifts in hand, he directly pitched the app to me.

In county-level markets, a single Pupu station covers a 3-kilometer radius, handling several thousand orders daily with a high repeat-purchase rate. The station in my area has over a hundred employees. Every time delivery services open up for a new neighborhood, the ground promotion team swarms in. This has created a peculiar sight where dozens of promoters take over a single residential community. A large group of them—wearing green vests and riding electric scooters with massive green baskets attached to the back—can be seen scattered around: some at the main gate, some on the road outside, and others just cruising leisurely through the neighborhood, looking quite relaxed and unhurried.

Recently, I upgraded Chrome to version 151. After the upgrade, I found that the previous methods no longer worked to enable Manifest V2, and uBlock Origin could not be enabled.

Starting from Chrome 151, Manifest V2 is completely unsupported. Additionally, Manifest V2 extensions have been removed from the Chrome Web Store since August 31, 2026.

Ultimately, I downgraded to Chrome 150, but some features still failed to work properly—the integrated Google AI search button disappeared, and the Live Caption feature stopped functioning.

Fortunately, Firefox has no plans to deprecate Manifest V2. In the future, I will choose Firefox to run Manifest V2 extensions (such as uBlock Origin) specifically for watching YouTube, while leaving Chrome for occasional updates.

One year ago, if you invested 1 RMB and 10,000 RMB respectively into a money market fund (where product data shows a past-year yield of 1.19%), how much would you have earned by now?

You might think this is just a simple elementary school math problem:

• 1 RMB Yield = 1 * 1.19% = 0.0119 RMB (Since the smallest unit of RMB is the fen, meaning up to two decimal places, the third decimal is rounded, resulting in 0.01 RMB).
• 10,000 RMB Yield = 10,000 * 1.19% = 119 RMB.

But the actual yield is: 0 RMB earned from the 1 RMB investment, and 119 RMB earned from the 10,000 RMB investment.

What if you only invested for a single day (assuming a 7-day annualized yield of 1.038% and a yield per 10,000 shares of 0.2804)? The answer is: 0 RMB earned from the 1 RMB investment, and 0.28 RMB earned from the 10,000 RMB investment.

Why is the yield on a 1 RMB money market fund always zero? Where did the yield that should have been there go?

Yesterday morning, Beijing time on June 12 (before SpaceX has been IPO), I opened YouTube and noticed a SpaceX livestream recommended on my homepage. Upon clicking in, I realized it was actually a highly realistic, well-disguised scam trap.

The stream claimed that Elon Musk was announcing a SpaceX IPO via cryptocurrency, inviting viewers to scan a QR code in the video to participate in the launch. Driven by curiosity to see what was actually going on, I scanned the QR code. It turned out the website was not for buying SpaceX stock with crypto at all, but rather a fake “SpaceX IPO Cryptocurrency Giveaway” event.

I recently encountered an issue using a coupon on Taobao Flash Sale. It took six rounds of back-and-forth communication with customer service to finally resolve it. Through this after-sales experience, I want to discuss the systemic issues revealed by Taobao Flash Sale’s resolution process.

With Gold Soaring and Plunging, Is It Still a Good Investment? Sharing My Understanding of Gold.

Gold has recently seen violent fluctuations—skyrocketing and then plummeting. Many are asking: Is it still safe to invest? Here is my take on gold investment.

The core purpose of investing in gold is to improve portfolio diversity, hedge against inflation, offset risks, and seek safety. It is crucial to be clear on one thing: Gold is for long-term asset allocation, not for short-term speculative riches.

Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, suggests that gold should make up 5% to 15% of an investment portfolio. particularly in the current context of ballooning global debt, he advises leaning towards the higher end, allocating 10% to 15%.

Gold is a medium for storing wealth. It cannot be replicated (unlike paper currency which can be printed infinitely), and its confiscation risk is very low—it is difficult for governments or banks to freeze it or artificially devalue it. However, gold itself does not generate value, nor does it yield interest. Its long-term returns are correlated with the money supply (M2), with a long-term real annualized compound return rate of approximately 2.0% to 3.6%.

Of course, gold prices will not rise forever; history shows periods of prolonged decline. Regarding a drop in the price of gold within my portfolio, my mindset is this: Allocating gold is like buying insurance for my investments. If it falls, I treat it as paying the insurance premium for renewal; if it keeps rising, it’s like receiving an insurance payout.
