🌻Adobe(ADBE)電話會議內容讀後感

ADBE前兩天發表財報了.

這次ADBE在財報後下跌, 主要是兩個原因(如下). 不過個人覺得是瑕不掩瑜:
1. 因為之前已經漲了不少(投資人期望太高)
2. 因為Digital Marketing這部分的業務受到季節性的影響, 所以表現不是很突出(沒有比預期高出很多)
a. net new Digital Media ARR (3% beat vs guide, vs 15% beat in 2Q21 vs 35% beat in 3Q20).
b. 有分析師在問(“Maybe just -- can we double-click on the seasonality commentary in the quarter? Because if we look at the beat versus guidance on net new digital media ARR, it looks, at the same time you had the weakest beat, but then the strongest guide in the last three years, which kind of speaks to and confirm some of those seasonality comments that you made.)
i. 高層對此的回答是, 主要是疫情後, 加上正值夏季, 大家的日子回復到正常&放假外出, 所以這部分的業務有受到影響(I think going into the quarter, we had expected that the consumer with a little bit more return to normalcy as what's happening in the environment.)
ii. 高層又說了一些話, 不過重點就是他不認為這是甚麼大事”So, net-net, I would say that the growth prospects for that particular business and the growth drivers remain intact. But again, very much in line. And this is what we feel good about the insights that we're getting on the business.”
iii. 也提到, Q4通常會是digital marketing業務的旺季(表現會不俗的意思)

另外, 覺得這次令我印象深刻的是, 當高層與分析師提到這些事情:
• 常在一些公司的電話會議中提到omnichannel這個字(疫情後, 更明顯了). 這次高層也有提到. ADBE可說是omnichannel概念股:
o “I mean, a big part of that is more and more companies are thirdly doing the multi-channel omnichannel, whatever they want to call it. And I think that's only going to continue to be a driver of our Digital Experience Solutions. Because today that stable stakes and so we just look at it and say whether you're shopping in-store over they are shopping online. You need a solution that treats you like a customer that we know of.”
• 網路上影片(video)的興起, 以及串流影音, 有提高了Adobe的營收天花板(用句分析師的術語, 就是TAM (total addressable market) expansion.
• 當使用者製作了越來越多的內容, 內容管理(content management)的能力就越顯重要, 內容上的流程管理(workflow)也越顯重要. Adobe的產品能夠幫內容製作者解決這樣的問題.
• 而Adobe各產品間的相容性, 標準化, 整合能力, 是它的競爭優勢之一:
o And one of the things we did really well is what we called our named user deployment and how, you know, when we have these enterprise licensing agreements, we offer enterprises the ability to download and distribute within the companies. And the more we do training and evangelism of the products, that leads to adoption. So, I would say there's an element of standardization, there's an element of more content.

而最近ADBE有個新聞, 引起了我的注意, 就是它即將在自己的平台上, 提供付款服務(payment service). 根據之前研究SHOP的經驗, 這有可能會對股價造成一定的漲幅:
On Sept. 15, Adobe announced that it will add payment services to its e-commerce platform this year to help merchants accept credit cards and other ways of paying. The move will deepen Adobe's rivalry with e-commerce firm Shopify (SHOP).
For the service, Adobe has partnered with PayPal (PYPL), which will process a variety of payment types, including credit and debit cards as well as PayPal's own payment and buy-now-pay-later offerings.

接下來該怎麼辦? 對於基本面良好的公司如ADBE, 我能說的就是buy the dip(逢低買進)了. 供參.

🌻The Facebook Files
一個星期前, WSJ上面有個關於FB的大篇幅調查報導. 有興趣的可以看看.
The Facebook Files
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-facebook-files-11631713039

這篇文章挺長, 也沒有看到華爾街中文版本的完整翻譯, 不過可以看看這篇:
https://on.wsj.com/2ZmFimp

"《華爾街日報》的相關調查顯示，這家社交媒體巨頭心知肚明，其平台會傷害用戶，而且是以該公司常常完全了解的方式造成傷害。目前，全球近半數人口都是Facebook旗下平台的用戶。其中一些證據尤其令人不安：據《華爾街日報》報導，Facebook的內部研究顯示，在報告稱有過自殺念頭的青少年中當中，有13%的英國用戶和6%的美國用戶把這種念頭歸結於Instagram。"

另一篇相關新聞:
https://www.thenewslens.com/article/156683

"《華爾街日報》於13日揭露Facebook的XCheck系統，也就是內部系統中的VIP名單，數百萬名人、政治人物與記者等知名公眾人物都在特別的一份「白名單」之內。"

"這些「貴賓」在社群上發布的內容可以躲過一般的審查系統，即使發布明顯的不當內容，也不會立即被刪除。《衛報》報導，Facebook的獨立監督委員會表示，在閱讀該篇報導後，決定要審查XCheck系統，並要求Facebook對其進行報告與解釋。"

🌻我喜歡的Apple TV影集, "Ted Lasso", 是這次艾美獎的大贏家, 很多主要演員都得獎了.

很高興這兩年, 因為有這部戲的陪伴, 讓我撐過了疫情, 家人離世, 以及一些烏煙瘴氣的事情.

前幾天看演員的得獎影片, 一位娛樂記者問得獎的男配角(也是編劇之一)說, 你覺得這部片的核心思想是甚麼. 他說, be curious, not judgemental.

就像得獎的女演員在劇中一開始是很鴨霸很壞心的球隊主人, 但這樣做是因為被前夫傷透了心, 所以想要弄垮離婚後分到的財產(也是前夫的最愛--球隊); 外表看起來永遠陽光燦爛做啦啦隊的男主角, 在青少年時父親自殺, 造成了他心裡永遠的痛&障礙(讓他在球賽時, 會有突發恐懼症).

我們每個人其實都有很多面, 很多個故事. 尤其在社群, 大家都是萍水相逢, 對彼此的了解都是非常片面的; 而有時候在社群裡, 看到有人會因為只看到一個面向, 就去下斷語. 這其實是人之常情很難避免, 所以我們需要常用第二層思考去提醒自己. 社群裡需要更多的同理心.

“Be curious, not judgmental” – Walt Whitman(惠特曼)(美國詩人)

SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO CAN EMPOWER AND UPLIFT YOU 🆙⬆️👍🏼

To me, teaching a #yogateachertraining is a very intimate coaching experience. As a yoga teacher training, it is my job to ensure my students to improve on their asana practice and learn how to teach authentically and confidently. But it is my calling and mission to see their growth and empowerment from the inside, to lead them the way to change - not because of me, but the desire for self betterment. This is how sacred a yoga teacher training is to me.

That is why in #empoweredflow teacher training, I insist on a smaller class size (15-20), so I know your names individually.

That is why I ask you to attend classes inside the training period, not in the existing schedule in @yogaroomhk .

That is why I work with @reebiesw who teaches from the most honest of hearts.

That is why I work with @tee.nan , who not only perfects his inversions but is also passionate and scientific with his teaching methods.

That is why I work with @hema.mirpuri who tirelessly impart her knowledge in pre and #postnatalyoga to her students.

You will be give a set sequence and a script to teach, with variations offered for various levels. You will learn how to use the power of social media to promote your classes, so you’re ready to teach right off the bat. You will finish the teacher training with clear sense of purpose and goal, instead being left with uncertainty of how, where and why you should teach yoga.

It’s not an easy journey. If you want an easy ride and just want to deepen your asana practice and get a certificate, this training might not be for you. But if you want to embark on a journey that is worthy of your energy, time and focus that will truly empower you and the people you will encounter in the near future, then I’ll welcome you with open arms.

Got any questions? Leave them in comments or DM me.

Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa on Monday urged European Union nations to show support for Lithuania, which has reportedly faced retaliation from the Chinese government for its decision to deepen ties with Taiwan.

＃桃園＃青埔＃書法公園

大園區橫山書法公園暨書法藝術館，位於青埔地區「5-8號陂塘公園」的東北角，大成路二段與大仁路交接處，館區面積約27701平方公尺，為地下1層、地上2層建築物，總樓地板面積2991平方公尺，為台灣第一座由官方經營，以書法藝術為主題的美術館，亦以向民眾收費參觀方式維持營運。

書法藝術館由建築師潘天壹設計，以公園為「硯台」、陂塘為「墨池」的意象發想，將建築外觀以書法篆刻之山型硯石為主體來組構。

基地由左至右以5個方盒子組成，包括展覽空間、館藏空間、教育推廣空間、商業空間、戶外展演場、行政空間及服務性空間等。

初步規劃除定期展出臺灣及國際書法篆刻名家作品外，亦兼具研究調查台灣書法歷史及向大眾推廣之功能，以呈現臺灣豐沛的書畫藝術創作能量。另為深化在地特色，部份展區規劃為大園尖山遺址展示區。

其他空間規劃為文創空間，預計以OT方式委外經營，讓民眾在欣賞文化藝術展覽及館區獨特的陂塘自然美景之餘，能將藝術帶入生活之中，體驗書藝生活美學。 完工後將結合青塘園旁的桃園市立美術館形成藝文廊帶，成為桃園地區休閒新景點和藝文新地標。

書法藝術館為2017年9月開工，預計2019年9月竣工，但由於諸多問題尚待解決，經桃園文化局追加預算改善後，力拼2021年秋季開館。

Dayuan Hengshan Calligraphy Park and Calligraphy Art Museum is located at the northeast corner of "No. 5-8 Pitang Park" in Qingpu District, at the junction of Section 2 of Dacheng Road and Daren Road. The area of ​​the museum area is about 27,701 square meters, and it is 1 underground level. , A two-story building on the ground with a total floor area of ​​2991 square meters. It is Taiwan’s first officially operated art museum with the theme of calligraphy. It also maintains operations by charging the public for visits.

The Calligraphy Art Museum was designed by the architect Pan Tianyi. The park is the "inkstone" and the Pitang is the "inkstone".

The base consists of 5 square boxes from left to right, including exhibition space, collection space, education promotion space, commercial space, outdoor exhibition space, administrative space and service space.

In addition to regularly exhibiting works by famous Taiwanese and international calligraphy and seal carving masters, the preliminary plan also has the function of researching and investigating the history of Taiwan's calligraphy and promoting it to the public, so as to show Taiwan's abundant calligraphy and calligraphy artistic creation energy. In order to deepen the local characteristics, part of the exhibition area is planned as the Dayuan Jianshan Site Exhibition Area.

The other space is planned as a cultural and creative space, which is expected to be outsourced in OT mode, so that the public can bring art into life and experience the aesthetics of calligraphy and life while enjoying cultural and art exhibitions and the unique natural beauty of Pitang in the museum area.
After completion, it will be combined with the Taoyuan Municipal Art Museum next to Qingtang Garden to form an art gallery belt, which will become a new leisure attraction and a new art and cultural landmark in the Taoyuan area.

The calligraphy art museum started in September 2017 and is expected to be completed in September 2019. However, due to many issues that have yet to be resolved, the Taoyuan Cultural Bureau will strive to open the museum in the fall of 2021 after the additional budget has been improved.
