On March 29th, at the Global Unicorn Companies Conference, Zhou Hongyi, founder of 360, interpreted the recent "Lobster Craze" (OpenClaw intelligent agent). Regarding the question of when tokens will become as accessible and affordable to ordinary people as mobile data, Zhou Hongyi stated: The core of the traditional internet is data traffic. Its infrastructure (such as fiber optic cables) has almost unlimited capacity, and user data usage is directly proportional to duration and volume. The more users a platform has, the lower the marginal cost becomes. However, AI is completely different. The essence of AI operation is the consumption of computing power, information processing, and "intellectual costs," following the logic of information and energy conservation: the more complex the task and the deeper the demand, the higher the computing power and resources consumed will inevitably be. It is impossible to complete extremely complex tasks with extremely low investment. Tokens are a unit of measurement for the intellectual and computing power consumed by artificial intelligence. The unit price is relatively fixed, and the more it is used, the higher the cost. Therefore, tokens can never achieve unlimited monthly usage like mobile data.
On March 29, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that following the Ukrainian attack on an oil refinery in Russia's Leningrad region, the refinery's capacity was reduced to approximately 40%.

On March 29th, the Guangdong Provincial Administration for Market Regulation, in conjunction with the Guangzhou Municipal Administration for Market Regulation, held a symposium for platform enterprises. The meeting focused on issues such as regulating fair and rational competition in the platform economy, providing administrative guidance to platform enterprises, and jointly proposing implementation measures. The meeting pointed out that Guangdong Province and Guangzhou City, leveraging their traditional industrial advantages, have a large number of operators and significant business volume on leading platforms nationwide. Platform rules are crucial for the operation and development of small and micro-sized businesses. The meeting encouraged platforms to take effective measures to strengthen compliance, improve compliance levels, and focus on innovative, standardized, and win-win development. Efforts should be made to continuously strengthen compliance in areas such as regulating competitive behavior, respecting merchants' independent operating rights, implementing quality grading and control, protecting the rights and interests of small and micro-sized businesses, empowering the incubation of high-quality brands, and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. This will jointly resist "involutionary" competition, promote high-quality development of the industry, and drive out inferior players with superior ones.
March 29th - With the Iraq War nearing its one-month mark, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz continues to be disrupted, disrupting the global energy supply system and causing international oil prices to soar. Wan Zhe, a professor of economics at Beijing Normal University, stated that firstly, global inflation faces a full-scale rebound, and rising oil prices will be transmitted along the entire industrial chain. Costs across all industries, including energy, food, transportation, and chemicals, will surge, with economies highly dependent on energy imports, such as Europe, Japan, and India, facing even greater pressure. The US is a net energy exporter, but inflationary stickiness may become completely entrenched, putting the Federal Reserve's monetary policy in a dilemma. Currently, the average price of gasoline in the US has surged by more than 30% in three weeks, directly reversing the previous downward trend in inflation and completely altering market expectations for interest rate cuts. A prolonged high-interest-rate environment will directly suppress the US real estate market, corporate financing, and stock market valuations. Especially this year is a US midterm election year, and gasoline prices are one of the most sensitive livelihood indicators for American voters. For global economic growth, there will be a slowdown, as high oil prices directly erode disposable income, squeeze non-energy consumption, and also increase production costs for businesses.
