第一則:關稅談判代價?中油傳向美國採購600萬噸天然氣

Tariff Negotiation Cost? CPC Rumored to Purchase 6 Million Tons of Natural Gas from the U.S.

隨著台美關稅談判進入延長賽,8月4日傳出台灣中油將向阿拉斯加州採購600萬噸天然氣,且這可能是台灣爭取減稅的條件之一。

As Taiwan-U.S. tariff negotiations enter extra time, it was reported on August 4 that Taiwan’s CPC Corporation will purchase 6 million tons of natural gas from Alaska, which may be one of Taiwan’s conditions for seeking tariff reductions. 

目前,中油每年自美國採購約210萬噸,若交易成功,將是現有採購量的三倍。

Currently, CPC imports about 2.1 million tons from the U.S. annually, and if the deal is successful, it will triple the existing procurement volume. 

阿拉斯加州長鄧利維先前也曾提到,正與台灣推進一個採購協議。

Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy has also mentioned that they are advancing a procurement agreement with Taiwan. 

然而,經濟部和中油皆並未對外說明採購資訊,或證實此消息。

However, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and CPC have not disclosed the procurement information, or confirmed the news.

第二則:輝達電力大革命 台達電和光寶入列合作夥伴

NVIDIA's Power Revolution: Delta Electronics and Lite-On Join as Partners

輝達近日宣布為因應AI算力對功率需求飆升,將啟動「電力大革命」。

NVIDIA recently announced the launch of a “Power Revolution” in response to the soaring power demands driven by the AI computing capabilities. 

計畫將AI伺服器晶片輸出電壓從目前的54V拉高至800V,並公布了18家合作夥伴,包括台達電和光寶科技。

The company plans to increase the output voltage of AI server chips from the current 54V to 800V, and has unveiled 18 partners, including Delta Electronics and Lite-On Technology. 

執行長黃仁勳指出,AI將成為新一波工業革命的核心,未來將需要數十兆瓦等級的建設規模。

CEO Jensen Huang emphasized that AI will be at the core of the next industrial revolution. In the future, construction scales will need to reach tens of megawatts. 

透過此計畫,輝達將帶領供應鏈夥伴轉型,讓AI發展繼續向前推進。

Through this initiative, NVIDIA aims to lead its supply chain partners in transformation, ensuring the continued advancement of AI development.

第三則:馬斯克挺川普引反感 特斯拉品牌忠誠度急降

Musk's Support for Trump Sparks Backlash: Tesla's Brand Loyalty Plunges

特斯拉曾以高品牌忠誠度聞名,但自執行長馬斯克於去年中公開支持總統川普後,顧客留存率便大幅下滑。

Tesla, once known for its high brand loyalty, has seen a significant decline in customer retention since CEO Elon Musk publicly supported President Trump last year. 

數據顯示,特斯拉去年6月的忠誠度曾高達73%,然而,在馬斯克表態支持川普後,便於今年3月驟降至49.9%。

Data shows that Tesla’s loyalty rate reached 73% in June last year; however, following Musk’s support of Trump, it dropped sharply to 49.9% in March of this year. 

分析師指出,馬斯克的政治立場及其行為與特斯拉過去主打的環保和創新形象相悖。

Analysts point out that Musk’s political stance and actions contradict Tesla’s previous image of environmentalism and innovation. 

若特斯拉品牌忠誠與市場信任無法恢復,短期內恐面臨更嚴峻的挑戰。

If Tesla’s brand loyalty and market trust cannot be restored, it may face more severe challenges in the short term.

第四則:共享行動電源龐大商機 ChargeSPOT年營業額破2億

ChargeSPOT's Big Business Opportunity: Annual Revenue Over 200 Million

成立於2019年的ChargeSPOT已成為台灣市場最大的共享行動電源品牌,年營業額高達2億元。

Founded in 2019, ChargeSPOT has become the largest shared power bank brand in Taiwan, with an annual revenue of 200 million. 

雖然行動電源已普及,但「忘記帶、忘記充、不夠用」三大痛點,讓隨借隨還的服務持續受到青睞。

Even though power banks are common now, people still face issues like “forgetting to bring them, forgetting to charge them, and running out of power,” which keeps the rental service popular. 

此外,ChargeSPOT的「行銷資源交換」合作模式,透過與店家合作提供借電站,並以螢幕廣告或App優惠券作為交換,取代傳統租金,使ChargeSPOT能與店家更加緊密合作,展現了強大潛力。

ChargeSPOT also uses a “marketing resource exchange” model, partnering with stores to set up rental stations and offering advertising or app coupons instead of traditional rent. This helps ChargeSPOT work closely with stores and shows its strong potential.

第五則:日本暖心計程車司機引熱議:九年不收台灣人車資

Heartwarming Japanese Taxi Driver: Nine Years of Free Rides for Taiwanese Passengers

近日,一名網友在臉書分享他在日本搭乘計程車時,遇到一位司機熱情推薦景點,還在抵達飯店時婉拒收費。

Recently, a netizen shared on Facebook his experience with a taxi driver in Japan, who not only enthusiastically recommended attractions but also refused to charge him when they arrived at the hotel.

司機表示,因感念台灣在日本天災時的支援,9年來不收台灣人車資,並展示一段用繁體中文寫的感謝訊息,最後還以中文、台語、客家話和阿美族語寫下了「謝謝」。

The driver said that, in gratitude for Taiwan’s support during Japan’s natural disasters, he has not charged Taiwanese passengers for nine years. He also displayed a thank-you message written in traditional Chinese and ended with “thank you” in Chinese, Taiwanese, Hakka, and Amis languages. 

此貼文感動萬名網友,展現台日友好的深厚情誼。

This post moved thousands of netizens, showcasing the deep friendship between Taiwan and Japan.
