The performance of U.S. tech stocks remains robust, with recent quarterly net profit data further affirming this trend. Apple led the way with a net profit of $36.3 billion, achieving operating revenue of $124.3 billion, gross profit of $58.3 billion, pre-tax net profit of $42.6 billion, and paying corporate income tax of $6.3 billion, resulting in a net profit margin of 29.2%. Over the past four quarters, Apple's cumulative net profit reached $96.16 billion, although it has shown a slight decline for two consecutive years. Microsoft followed closely with a net profit of $24.1 billion, reporting operating revenue of $69.6 billion, gross profit of $47.8 billion, pre-tax net profit of $29.4 billion, and paying corporate income tax of $5.3 billion, with a net profit margin of 34.6%. Nvidia stood out with fourth-quarter revenue of $39.331 billion, up 78% year-over-year and 12% quarter-over-quarter, and a net profit of $22.091 billion, up 80% year-over-year and 14% quarter-over-quarter, achieving a remarkable net profit margin of 56.2%. Google also performed exceptionally, with operating revenue of $96.4 billion, gross profit of $55.8 billion, pre-tax net profit of $32.2 billion, and paying corporate income tax of $5.7 billion, resulting in a net profit of $26.5 billion and a net profit margin of 27.5%. Amazon set a record with its highest-ever net profit of $20 billion, reporting operating revenue of $187.8 billion, gross profit of $88.9 billion, pre-tax net profit of $22.3 billion, and paying corporate income tax of $2.3 billion, with a net profit margin of 10.65%. Meta achieved its best performance to date with a net profit of $20.8 billion, reporting operating revenue of $48.4 billion, gross profit of $39.5 billion, pre-tax net profit of $23.5 billion, and paying corporate income tax of $2.7 billion, with a net profit margin of 42.9%. Although Tesla had the lowest net profit among the "Big Tech Seven" at $2.3 billion, its 9.8% profit margin remains relatively high within the automotive industry. In summary, the quarterly net profits for these companies are as follows: Apple $36.3 billion, Google $26.5 billion, Microsoft $24.1 billion, Nvidia $22.1 billion, Meta $20.8 billion, Amazon $20 billion, and Tesla $2.3 billion, demonstrating the strong profitability of U.S. tech giants.

神乎其神的著名预言书推背图到底是真是伪？
根据研究，《推背图》的实物版本最早可追溯至清代。荷兰莱顿大学汉学研究院图书馆藏有高延教授（J. J. M. de Groot）于光绪丁丑年（1877年）请人传抄的版本，属于《纬书集成》甲种本，是目前已知较早的抄本。其他标注为“永乐”“万历”等年代的版本，经考证多为清代伪造，例如所谓的“明代万历彩绘本”中存在清代服饰元素（如辫子、长衫），实际成书时间不可信。
芝加哥大学图书馆藏有标注为“明代彩绘抄本”的《推背图》，但学界普遍认为其实际成书时间不早于清代。类似的“元代本”“明代本”多因内容或装帧特征与时代不符而被判定为后人伪托。
目前最流行的版本是所谓“金圣叹批注本”，出版于民国四年（1915年）。该版本与传统版本差异极大，例如关于唐朝的预言从“十八鲤鱼”改为“十八李子”，并添加了清代及之后的内容，明显经过后人改编。
《推背图》传统上被认为是唐代李淳风与袁天罡合著，但历史考证显示两人合作的可能性极低。袁天罡在633年已年逾八旬且次年去世，而李淳风当时仅三十余岁，正专注于天文仪器改制，无暇参与此类谶纬之作。此外，现存版本中多次出现唐代之后的典故（如清初顾炎武的“匹夫有责”），进一步证明内容为后人增补。
宋代伪造与混序：据南宋岳珂《桯史》记载，宋太祖为削弱《推背图》的预言影响力，下令打乱原书顺序并伪造多个版本，导致真伪混杂。明清及民国的改编：清代至民国时期，不同版本为应合时局被频繁修改。例如，甲种本在辛亥革命前被用作反清宣传工具，而金批本则在民国初年出版时加入近代事件描述。
《推背图》属于典型的谶纬文献，其预言通过模糊语言、双关隐喻和事后附会实现“准确性”。例如，五代时期政权为迎合“开口张弓”之谶（暗指“弘”字），纷纷为子嗣命名“弘”，但实际应验者却是赵匡胤之父赵弘殷，显见其牵强。
现存最早的可靠版本为清代抄本，标注为明代或更早的版本多为伪作。核心内容可能源于唐代谶纬传统，但历经宋、明、清及民国的多次篡改和增补，已非原貌。
No City Maintenance and Construction Tax on Imported Goods or Services
Analysis:
- The City Maintenance and Construction Tax is levied on units and individuals that pay Value Added Tax (VAT) and Consumption Tax, based on the actual tax amount paid.
- VAT and Consumption Tax on imports are collected by customs, and this portion is not considered for the City Maintenance and Construction Tax. Therefore, the statement is correct.
2. Non-Deductible Consumption Tax on Jewelry Made from Purchased Gems
Analysis:
- According to consumption tax policies, when taxpayers use externally purchased, already-taxed gems to produce gold and silver jewelry (inlaid jewelry) taxed at the retail stage, the previously paid tax on the gems cannot be deducted.
- Therefore, the statement is correct.
3. No Corporate Income Tax on Asset Transfers Between Headquarters and Branches
Analysis:
- According to corporate income tax laws, internal asset disposals (including transfers of asset ownership or provision of services) within an enterprise do not constitute deemed sales and do not require income recognition.
- Therefore, asset transfers between headquarters and branches do not require corporate income tax recognition, making the statement correct.
4. Exchange of Idle Factories Subject to Land Value-Added Tax
Analysis:
- Land Value-Added Tax is levied on units and individuals that transfer land use rights, buildings, and their attachments, and obtain income from such transfers.
- The exchange of idle factories involves the transfer of property rights and results in physical income for both parties, falling under the scope of Land Value-Added Tax.
- Therefore, the statement is correct.
5. Transfer of Temporary Basic Pension Insurance Accounts for Cross-Provincial Employment
Analysis:
- According to social insurance laws and regulations, if an insured individual moves to another province for employment during the period of a temporary basic pension insurance account, the entire amount in the account, including interest, must be transferred back to the original insurance location.
- Therefore, the statement is correct.
6. Exemption from Urban Land Use Tax for Public Rental Housing
Analysis:
- According to tax exemption policies, the land used for the construction of public rental housing and the land occupied by completed public rental housing is exempt from Urban Land Use Tax.
- Therefore, the statement is correct.
7. Incorrect Taxation Category for Newspaper Articles
Analysis:
- According to individual income tax laws, income from articles published by newspaper reporters in their own newspapers should be taxed under the "wages and salaries" category, not "royalty income."
- Therefore, the statement is incorrect.
8. Substantive and Procedural Provisions in Tax Collection and Administration Law
Analysis:
- The Tax Collection and Administration Law not only defines the rights and obligations of tax authorities and taxpayers (substantive provisions) but also outlines procedures for tax administration, tax inspections, and tax penalties (procedural provisions).
- Therefore, the statement is correct.
9. Mandatory Court Appearance for Administrative Agency Heads
Analysis:
- According to administrative litigation laws, heads of administrative agencies must appear in court; if they cannot, they must delegate appropriate personnel to appear.
- Therefore, the statement is correct.
10. Necessity of Hearing Taxpayer's Statements Before Administrative Penalties
Analysis:
- Although administrative penalties are unilateral, according to administrative procedure laws, tax authorities must hear the taxpayer's statements and defenses before imposing administrative penalties.
- Therefore, the statement is incorrect.
Tax burden shifting can take the forms of forward shifting, backward shifting, and mixed shifting. Backward shifting mainly involves increasing sales prices to pass the tax burden onto buyers.
The current consumption tax policy stipulates that beer, yellow wine, high-end cosmetics, and refined oil are taxed based on quantity.
Discharges of taxable pollutants from legally established urban and rural centralized sewage treatment and domestic waste treatment facilities that do not exceed national and local emission standards are exempt from environmental protection tax.

When collecting taxes, the tax authorities can issue a tax payment certificate to the taxpayer upon request.
If a production enterprise underreported taxes by 1.2 million yuan in October 2018 and the tax authorities discovered the issue in November 2023, the authorities should not impose a fine on the enterprise because the statute of limitations for penalties has expired.
Tax preservation measures and compulsory enforcement measures taken by tax authorities must be approved by the director of the municipal tax bureau (branch bureau) at the district level.
If a taxpayer faces special difficulties and cannot pay taxes on time, they may apply for a deferral of tax payment, which must be approved by the provincial, autonomous regional, or municipal tax bureau, but the deferral cannot exceed 3 months.
Administrative compulsory measures are unilateral actions taken by administrative authorities, implemented unilaterally by law without the need for consent or approval from the parties involved.

《春风沉醉的夜晚》：一场被禁锢的自由与诗意的沉沦
娄烨的《春风沉醉的夜晚》始终笼罩在一种灰暗的潮湿感中，如同连绵的阴雨，浸润着角色的欲望、挣扎与绝望。这部以郁达夫同名散文为灵感的电影，既是对同性恋群体生存困境的凝视，也是对普遍人性中自由与压抑冲突的寓言。影片以南京为舞台，手持摄影的晃动与暗色调的渲染，将观众卷入一场关于爱、背叛与孤独的迷离叙事中。
性、权力与身份：被禁锢的“灰色地带”
影片开场的同性床戏极具冲击力——江诚与王平的肢体交缠不仅是情欲的释放，更是对主流道德秩序的直接挑衅。娄烨并未将性爱场景处理为猎奇或符号化的展示，而是通过镜头对肌肤、喘息和眼神的捕捉，赋予其情感的真实性。这种对“性”的坦率，恰恰映照出社会对同性恋的暧昧态度：既非完全禁止，又非全然接受，而是一种“礼貌的压制”。王平的自杀、林雪的歇斯底里、罗海涛的迷茫，无不暴露出个体在身份认同与社会规训之间的撕裂。江诚的纹身与最终平静的生活，看似是妥协，实则是以伤痕为印记的自由宣言。
南京：一座城市的隐喻
娄烨选择南京作为叙事背景绝非偶然。这座城市“介于政治中心与商业中心之间”，是地理的过渡带，也是意识形态的模糊地带。影片中，南京的街头、书店、夜总会与工厂构成了一个“灰色支撑”，既有市井生活的烟火气，又弥漫着压抑的雾气。江城的名字更被赋予双重象征：既指向江河，又暗示个体情感的流动与不可控。手持摄影的晃动与阴郁色调，将南京塑造成一座情感迷宫，角色在其中如困兽般游荡，试图寻找出口却最终沉溺于自身的欲望与孤独。
文学与影像的诗意互文
影片中反复出现的郁达夫、朱自清等人的文字，既是对知识分子精神的回溯，也是为当代人的困境提供历史参照。王平为江诚朗诵《春风沉醉的晚上》的场景，既是爱情的仪式，也是对自由的悼念。娄烨将文学文本与影像的融合比作“中国画的字画关系”，文字成为影像的注解，而影像则赋予文字新的生命。这种处理让影片超越了单一的同性恋叙事，上升为对普遍人性中浪漫主义与现实主义冲突的探讨。江诚的“花落花开自有时”与王平的决绝自杀，构成了一种古典诗词般的宿命感。
技术实验与叙事革新
《春风沉醉的夜晚》采用高清DV拍摄，手持摄影的粗糙质感与即兴风格，强化了影片的纪实性与私密感。娄烨将这种技术选择称为“向传统学习的功课”——通过散点透视与白话小说般的叙事结构，消解了戏剧化的冲突，转而聚焦于人物情感的流动。例如，罗海涛与江诚、李静的三人行段落，镜头始终以旁观者视角记录，拒绝评判，却让观众在角色的沉默与尴尬中感受到情感的张力。这种“家庭录像式”的拍摄手法，让影片呈现出一种未完成的诗意，仿佛记忆的碎片。
自由的代价与艺术的抵抗
《春风沉醉的夜晚》诞生于娄烨被禁拍的五年间，其制作过程本身便是一场对权威的挑战。影片中角色“时刻保持警惕”的生存状态，恰是导演自身创作处境的隐喻。娄烨通过这部作品证明，即使在审查与禁令的夹缝中，艺术依然能以最私密的方式触及人性的核心。江诚最终在小店中与新人相拥的画面，既是对伤痕的抚慰，也是对未来的微弱期许——或许真正的自由，不在于挣脱枷锁，而在于学会与枷锁共存并依然选择去爱。
正如郁达夫在散文中写下的：“当这样的无可奈何，春风沉醉的夜晚，我每要在各处乱走，走到天将明的时候。”娄烨的镜头，正是这暗夜中的行者，以破碎的诗意照亮了被遮蔽的真实。
In a world that often glorifies overnight success and instant gratification, it's easy to lose sight of the true path to lasting achievement. The real journey to success is not a sprint but a marathon, requiring dedication, perseverance, and a long-term vision. It is a path filled with challenges, setbacks, and countless learning opportunities.
True success is built on a foundation of consistent effort and continuous learning. It demands that we embrace a growth mindset, where every failure is seen as a stepping stone rather than a stumbling block. This mindset allows us to push beyond our comfort zones, take calculated risks, and learn from our mistakes. Each experience, whether positive or negative, contributes to our growth and brings us one step closer to our goals.
One of the key ingredients to success is patience. In today's fast-paced society, it's tempting to seek quick results and immediate rewards. However, meaningful achievements often take time. It's the culmination of small, steady steps that lead to significant breakthroughs. Patience allows us to stay committed to our goals, even when progress seems slow. It teaches us to appreciate the process as much as the outcome.
Another crucial element is the willingness to adapt and evolve. The world is constantly changing, and what worked yesterday may not be effective today. Successful individuals are those who can pivot and adjust their strategies in response to new information and changing circumstances. They understand that flexibility and adaptability are essential for navigating the complexities of modern life.
Moreover, success is not a solitary endeavor. It often involves collaboration, networking, and building strong relationships. Surrounding ourselves with supportive and like-minded individuals can provide the encouragement and motivation needed to overcome obstacles. Mentors and role models can offer valuable insights and guidance, helping us avoid common pitfalls and stay focused on our objectives.
It's also important to recognize that success is not a one-size-fits-all concept. What success looks like for one person may be entirely different for another. It's about defining our own goals and pursuing them with passion and purpose. Whether it's excelling in a career, starting a business, or achieving personal fulfillment, success is a deeply personal journey.
In conclusion, the real path to success is paved with hard work, patience, adaptability, and a supportive network. It requires a long-term perspective and a commitment to continuous learning and growth. By embracing these principles, we can overcome challenges, achieve our goals, and find true fulfillment in our endeavors.
By cultivating deeply for three years, you will see a different landscape
In today's fast-paced society, people often seek quick success and immediate rewards. However, true success is not achieved overnight but requires the accumulation and settling of time. Gu Wenjie once said that if you stay rooted in an industry for three years, you will see things that outsiders will never see. This statement not only praises patience and perseverance but also reflects a deep understanding of the value of long-term commitment. In any field, achieving mastery and significant accomplishments requires sustained effort and unwavering pursuit over a long period.
When we first enter an industry, we often only see the surface phenomena—the obvious problems and solutions. But over time, especially after three years of in-depth study and practice, you begin to understand the intrinsic logic of the industry. You start to discover the deeper issues and opportunities hidden beneath the surface. This transformation from superficial to essential not only enhances your professional skills but also endows you with unique perspectives and insights. These insights are often difficult for outsiders to perceive because they are based on rich practical experience and deep thought.
When a person can see what others cannot, they possess an intangible competitive advantage. This advantage manifests not only in more precise decision-making but also in more effective problem-solving methods and more forward-thinking business models. For example, in the field of market marketing, understanding the deep motivations behind consumer behavior can help companies develop more precise marketing strategies. In technology development, foresight into future trends can guide teams to plan ahead and seize market opportunities. In this ever-changing era, maintaining patience is particularly important. Whether you are a newcomer just entering the workforce or a veteran who has been striving in a field for many years, remember that success does not happen overnight. It requires time to cultivate and accumulate.
Only through three years or even longer of deep cultivation can one truly grasp the essence of an industry and find one's unique position within it. So, give yourself some time and space to let your dreams take root and sprout, eventually blossoming into brilliant flowers. I hope that everyone reading this will find that unique sense of achievement in their future careers.
你想知道为什么你陷入了困境，为什么没有实现你的梦想吗？那是因为你在寻找捷径，以为参加每一个研讨会、阅读每一本自助书籍、聆听每一位励志演讲者就能神奇地改变你的生活。但让我告诉你，事情不会这样发生。
我看到你在那里，报名参加每一个工作坊，以为这次会有所不同。你相信别人掌握着你成功的秘诀。但真相是，你已经知道自己需要做什么。你知道需要采取哪些步骤、养成哪些习惯以及做出哪些牺牲。问题不在于知识的匮乏，而在于行动的缺乏。
你以为自己会找到某种魔法公式，让一切变得轻而易举。但猜猜怎么着？根本没有轻松的出路。成功是艰难的。它需要你每天早上醒来，即使不情愿，也要投入工作。它需要你反复学习同样的材料，直到掌握为止。它需要你克服不适和疑虑，知道每一步前进都是离目标更近一步。
你看着我，心想：“他已经搞定了一切。”但让我告诉你，我也在奋斗。我每天早上醒来，知道自己必须努力，必须推动自己变得更好。这很痛苦。知道没有终点线，成功是一段永无止境的旅程，这很痛苦。但我还是去做了，因为我知道，另一种选择就是过着充满遗憾和未实现潜力的生活。
所以，别再寻找轻松的出路了。别再以为别人有答案。你已经知道自己需要做什么。是时候停止找借口，开始行动了。是时候每天早上醒来对自己说：“今天，我要做这件事。今天，我要向梦想迈进一步。”
因为真相是，成功不属于懒惰的人。它不属于那些总是寻找下一个大事件、下一个快速解决方案的人。它属于那些愿意投入时间、精力和奉献的人。它属于那些愿意日复一日地做艰苦工作的人，无论这有多么痛苦。
Tu veux savoir pourquoi tu es coincé dans cette ornière, pourquoi tu n'atteins pas tes rêves ? C'est parce que tu cherches des raccourcis, pensant qu'assister à chaque séminaire, lire chaque livre de développement personnel et écouter chaque conférencier motivateur va comme par magie transformer ta vie. Mais laisse-moi te dire quelque chose, ça ne se passera pas comme ça.
Je te vois là-bas, t'inscrivant à chaque atelier, pensant que cette fois ce sera différent. Tu es convaincu que quelqu'un d'autre détient le secret de ton succès. Mais la vérité, c'est que tu sais déjà ce que tu dois faire. Tu connais les étapes à suivre, les habitudes à prendre et les sacrifices à faire. Le problème n'est pas le manque de connaissances, c'est le manque d'action.
Tu penses que tu vas trouver une formule magique qui va tout rendre facile. Mais devine quoi ? Il n'y a pas de solution de facilité. Le succès est difficile. C'est se réveiller chaque matin, même quand tu n'en as pas envie, et te mettre au travail. C'est étudier le même matériel encore et encore jusqu'à ce que tu le maîtrises. C'est surmonter l'inconfort et le doute, sachant que chaque pas en avant est un pas de plus vers ton objectif.
Tu me regardes et tu penses : "Il a tout compris". Mais laisse-moi te dire, je lutte aussi. Je me réveille chaque jour en sachant que je dois bosser dur, que je dois me pousser à être meilleur. Et c'est nul. C'est nul de savoir qu'il n'y a pas de ligne d'arrivée, que le succès est un voyage sans fin. Mais je le fais quand même, parce que je sais que l'alternative est une vie de regrets et de potentiel inexploité.
Alors, arrête de chercher la solution de facilité. Arrête de penser que quelqu'un d'autre a les réponses. Tu sais déjà ce que tu dois faire. Il est temps d'arrêter de trouver des excuses et de commencer à agir. Il est temps de se réveiller chaque matin et de dire : "Aujourd'hui, je vais faire le travail. Aujourd'hui, je vais faire un pas de plus vers mes rêves".
Parce que la vérité, c'est que le succès n'est pas pour les paresseux. Il n'est pas pour ceux qui sont toujours à la recherche de la prochaine grande chose, de la prochaine solution rapide. Il est pour ceux qui sont prêts à y consacrer du temps, des efforts et du dévouement. Il est pour ceux qui sont prêts à faire le travail difficile, jour après jour, peu importe à quel point c'est nul.
Alors, laisse-moi t'enseigner la vraie vérité sur la vie. Il ne s'agit pas de trouver la solution de facilité. Il s'agit d'embrasser la lutte, sachant que chaque défi que tu surmontes te rend plus fort. Il s'agit de se réveiller chaque matin et de choisir de faire le travail, même quand c'est difficile, même quand c'est nul. Parce que c'est la seule façon d'y arriver. C'est la seule façon d'atteindre tes rêves.
You wanna know why you're stuck in this rut, why you're not achieving your dreams? It's because you're looking for shortcuts, thinking that attending every seminar, reading every self-help book, and listening to every motivational speaker is gonna magically transform your life. But let me tell you something, it ain't gonna happen that way.
I see you out there, signing up for every workshop, thinking that this time it's gonna be different. You're convinced that someone else holds the secret to your success. But the truth is, you already know what you need to do. You know the steps you need to take, the habits you need to form, and the sacrifices you need to make. The problem isn't lack of knowledge; it's lack of action.
You think you're gonna find some magical formula that'll make everything easy. But guess what? There is no easy way out. Success is hard. It's waking up every morning, even when you don't feel like it, and putting in the work. It's studying the same material over and over until you master it. It's pushing through the discomfort and the doubt, knowing that every step forward is a step closer to your goal.
You look at me and think, "He's got it all figured out." But let me tell you, I struggle too. I wake up every day knowing that I've got to grind, that I've got to push myself to be better. And it sucks. It sucks to know that there's no finish line, that success is a never-ending journey. But I do it anyway, because I know that the alternative is a life of regret and unfulfilled potential.
So, stop looking for the easy way out. Stop thinking that someone else has the answers. You already know what you need to do. It's time to stop making excuses and start taking action. It's time to wake up every morning and say, "Today, I'm gonna do the work. Today, I'm gonna take one step closer to my dreams."
Because the truth is, success isn't for the lazy. It's not for the ones who are always looking for the next big thing, the next quick fix. It's for the ones who are willing to put in the time, the effort, and the dedication. It's for the ones who are willing to do the hard work, day in and day out, no matter how much it sucks.
So, let me teach you the real truth about life. It's not about finding the easy way out. It's about embracing the struggle, knowing that every challenge you overcome makes you stronger. It's about waking up every morning and choosing to do the work, even when it's hard, even when it sucks. Because that's the only way you're gonna make it. That's the only way you're gonna achieve your dreams.
In the pursuit of happiness, we often find ourselves chasing after things we don't possess, believing that acquiring them will fill the void within us. We yearn for more wealth, better health, or deeper relationships, convinced that these will bring us the contentment we seek. Yet, in this relentless chase, we often overlook the treasures that are already within our grasp.
True contentment is not found in the acquisition of more, but in the appreciation of what we already have. It lies in the simple moments of joy that we often take for granted—a warm meal, a comfortable bed, or the laughter of loved ones. These everyday blessings are the building blocks of a fulfilling life, yet they are easily overshadowed by our desires for something more.
The grass may always seem greener on the other side, but it is important to remember that every path has its own challenges and rewards. Instead of focusing on what we lack, we should cultivate gratitude for the abundance in our lives. This shift in perspective can transform our outlook, allowing us to see the beauty in our current circumstances.
Moreover, contentment is not a passive state but an active choice. It requires us to be mindful of the present moment, to embrace the imperfections, and to find joy in the journey rather than the destination. It is about recognizing that happiness is not a future goal to be achieved, but a present reality to be experienced.
In a world that constantly bombards us with messages of scarcity and insufficiency, it is crucial to pause and take stock of our blessings. By doing so, we can cultivate a sense of fulfillment that is not dependent on external circumstances. We can learn to be content with what we have, knowing that it is enough.
Ultimately, the key to true contentment lies in our ability to appreciate the present moment and to find joy in the simple things. It is about recognizing that we already have enough, and that happiness is not something to be chased, but a state of being that we can choose to embrace right now.
