Thị trường điều hòa cuối năm

Lượng bán ra hàng trăm bộ/ngày

Riêng đối với Siêu thị điều hoà VinaCore của Công ty Cổ phần Xây dựng và Kỹ thuật lạnh Việt Nam (VinaCore Group), những ngày nắng nóng này, lượng dieu hoa bán ra lên tới 200 - 300 bộ/ngày, thậm chí những ngày cao điểm còn lên tới 500 bộ/ngày.
“Với lượng hàng bán ra quá lớn mỗi ngày nên vấn đề nan giải nhất đối với công ty hiện nay vẫn là lắp đặt”, ông Nguyễn Cảnh Ngọc, Phụ trách Kinh doanh của VinaCore Group chia sẻ.

Hiện đội ngũ lắp đặt của công ty này lên tới gần 60 người, nhưng vẫn không đủ để cung cấp cho thị trường vì phải kết hợp với làm công trình.

Do vậy, để giải quyết vấn đề này công ty buộc phải đưa ra hai hình thức hình thức hỗ trợ cho khách hàng. Hình thức thứ nhất là bán lẻ với giá bán buôn, trừ tiền cho những khách hàng mua sản phẩm nhưng không yêu cầu lắp đặt. Đối với hình thức này, số tiền khách hàng có thể tiết kiệm lên tới 200.000 - 500.000 đồng tùy loại máy.

Hình thức thứ hai, VinaCore khuyến khích những khách hàng lấy máy và hẹn trước thời gian lắp đặt dieu hoa funiki, khi đó khách hàng sẽ được trừ thẳng vào giá bán từ 100.000 – 200.000 đồng/bộ (tuỳ theo thời gian hẹn).

Mặc dù, khá khó chịu với sự nắng nóng của thời tiết nhưng trong tình hình hiện nay, nhiều khách hàng cũng vẫn phải chấp nhận phương án chờ để có được sản phẩm ưng ý và chất lượng lắp đặt đảm bảo.

Anh Công Minh (Mê Linh – Hà Nội) cho biết để có được chiếc dieu hoa lg ưng ý anh đã phải đặt trước cả tuần mới có hàng và người lắp đặt.

Tuy đã được phía siêu thị thông báo do người mua hàng khá nhiều và đặt hàng trước, nhưng chị Kim Thu (Thành Công – Hà Nội) vẫn khá sốt sắng vì 2 ngày rồi mà chiếc điều hoà Panasonic tiết kiệm năng lượng mà gia đình chị đã chọn mua vẫn chưa được giao hàng và lắp đặt.

Lượng khách có nhu cầu mua điều hoà tăng đột biến cũng đã khiến giá bán lẻ của nhiều sản phẩm chỉ trong vòng chưa đầy 1 tuần đã tăng thêm từ 100.000 – 300.000 đồng/bộ.

Song, theo ông Cảnh Ngọc, thời điểm này vẫn chưa phải là “đỉnh” của mùa điều hoà. Hiện nguồn hàng khá dồi dào do các tổng đại lý vừa nhập hàng để chuẩn bị cho mùa nóng và tình trạng “găm” hàng vẫn chưa diễn ra.

Nhưng đến cuối tháng 5, đầu tháng 6, giá bán có một số loại điều hoà có thể sẽ tăng lên từ vài trăm nghìn tới trên 1 triệu đồng/bộ so với bây giờ. Năm trước vào giai đoạn cao điểm của nắng nóng, người tiêu dùng chấp nhận giá cao cũng không mua được do phần lớn các “đầu nậu” muốn găm hàng lại để đẩy giá lên mặt bằng mới.

Do đó, lời khuyên đối với người tiêu dùng vẫn là nên mua khi thị trường chưa “sốt” để có mức giá hợp lý, chất lượng lắp đặt đảm bảo do thợ không phải chạy “sô” vì số lượng đơn hàng quá lớn.

Hai xu hướng cùng song hành

Về xu hướng lựa chọn điều hoà trong năm nay, hiện đang có hai xu thế rất rõ rệt dù đối ngược nhau đó là “chuộng” cả điều hoà cao cấp tiết kiệm điện (tích hợp công nghệ biến tần inverter) và điều hoà giá rẻ với những tính năng cơ bản.

Ông Ngọc cho rằng việc có hai xu thế đối nghịch cùng tồn tại song song là điều hợp lý trong giai đoạn này. Yếu tố đầu tiên tác động tới quyết định mua của người tiêu dùng chính là lạm phát, chỉ số giá không ngừng tăng cao trong thời gian qua. Điều này khiến người tiêu dùng phải cân nhắc hơn trong các khoản chi tiêu. Vì vậy, một bộ phận có xu hướng mua điều hòa cơ bản, giá rẻ để giải quyết tạm nhu cầu giải nhiệt trong mùa nóng.

Nhưng lại có yếu tố tác động thứ hai tác động đến xu hướng mua điều hòa khác là giá điện. Giá điện tăng cao và dự báo tiếp tục tăng khiến đại đa số người mua điều hòa phải cân nhắc trước khi quyết định. Hiện điều hòa không khí vẫn là vật dụng “ngốn” điện nhất trong mỗi gia đình. Với một gia đình việc sở hữu từ 2 - 3 máy điều hòa trong nhà sẽ tiêu tốn tiền điện lên tới trên cả triệu đồng/tháng và đó là gánh nặng tài chính khá lớn trong mùa bão giá.

The M’nong’s community organization and custom

The M’nong have maintained many traditional customs which have helped enhance their communal bond.

The M’nong have many branches living mainly in Dac Nong, Dac Lac, Binh Phuoc, and Lam Dong province. Luong Thanh Son, Director of the Dac Lac Museum of Ethnicity, says: “The M’nong are categorized by their cultural characters and habitats. The M’nong Rlam live near water and grow wet rice. The M’nong Bu Dong are famous for catching and taming elephants in Don hamlet. The M’nong Preh in Dac Mil, the M’nong Prang in Dac Nong, and the M’nong Gar in Lam Dong cultivate terraced fields.” South Vietnam tours
Although different branches live in different areas, the M’nong have maintained a common language, common customs, and common cultural identity.

A ceremony to honor the rice genie
The M’nong believe in supernatural powers which influence human life. The spirits of their ancestors protect the children; the kitchen genie keeps fire and food; the rice and crop genie ensures a bumper harvest; and the thunder genie punishes people if they violate traditional norms such as the taboo against incest. They have many rituals for worshiping these genies as well as maturation, wedding, and longevity ceremonies. The M’nong have strict rules governing community relations, ownership, marriage, and gender relations. Nguyen Khanh Duy is an ethic minority researcher in Dac Lac province. “The M’nong abide by community rules to maintain social unity. Disputes among hamlets, families, clans, and neighbors are solved by traditional custom. The mediators must be upright and have good understanding of tradition and custom.”  Bai Tho Junk – a romantic experience
The M’nong give first priority to reconciliation. Offenders must compensate the offended with a jar, a gong, an elephant, or by preparing an offering of pork and chicken. Deep in the delta Saigon-Chau Doc
M’nong rules say villagers must respect and help elderly people, the patriarch, and hamlet contributors. The whole village will help a family organize a funeral and show deep sorrow for the dead. Villagers help each other in production, such as an early harvest to avoid a natural disaster. Field owners will give the helpers baskets of rice, corn, or vegetables. Ama Phong of the M’nong Rlam in Lac district says: “Some customs have changed, such as the wedding ceremony. In the past, the host had to prepare enough pigs and chickens to feed the whole village and the ceremony lasted 2 or 3 days. Now the ceremony has been simplified to reduce costs. We still uphold many family rules such as the groom must live with the bride’s family after marriage, couples must carefully read the family tree to avoid close bond marriage, and a widow can only remarry after a ceremony to see the soul of the dead husband off to heaven.”

Halong most famous cuisines

Sea snalis – a half of Ha Long’s cuisine
It might be a little overstated to say that half of Ha Long cuisines are dishes made from sea snails, but this is to emphasize the significant contribution of this irresistible food stuff to Ha Long gastronomy.
There is no precise estimation on how many types of sea snails are edible in this beautiful bay. Huan, a local fisher said that he had seen about 20 kinds of see snails so far. The fisherman continued his story about sea snails by listing their name respectively, however, after three repeating times, this unprofessional tour-guide decided to try out directly that extraordinary creature would be the best way to “taste” Ha Long.

Halong Sea Snails - Try it and love it
Cao Xanh market and Bai Chay market are the most popular spots where sea snails are supposed to be sold with the best quality. Wandering around Bai Chay, which is crowded with people eating on the sidewalks, every one can see a panel with the title: “Ha Long snail super market” that excitingly catches visitors’ eyes. Having a look through the restaurants’ menus, visitors would surely be surprised at the diversity of sea snails here.
With only one bowl of sauce made from fish-sauce, ginger, peppers and lemongrass, each type of snails with different unique flavors and different ways to enjoy would make anyone's mouth water. Eaters enjoying snails are advised to drink hard beverages such as alcohol to avoid stomachache.
The other half of Halong’s cuisines: seafood derivatives. halong bay cruises
Visitors must be excited when served special liquor named “Ngán - Arca Wine” (“Ngán” is a species of Veneridae). This special drink is actually a mixture of typically Vietnamese rice wine and “Ngán” blood, which is supposed to benefit men’s sexual ability. After the mixture is completed, the wine transforms into a light red color with totally a different flavor. Spirit followers cannot wait to drink it, to feel an immediate absorbent into their bodies.

Another well-known alcohol named “Hoanh Bo” should definitely not be missed when visiting Ha Long. With low volume of alcoholic, the liquor is not tough to conquer, yet some people who consumes too much Hoanh Bo need 2-3 days to sober.
Ha Long is also famous for squid-sausages, which is told to be delicious and fragrant only when processed by restaurants here. The food is a fusion of hashed squid and mysterious spices that only the chefs know, molded into round pieces and then fried in boiling oil. This special dish can be found anywhere along the shore from Quang Ninh to Hai Phong, but nowhere has the same level of deliciousness like in Ha Long.

The diversity of shrimps, from the luxurious one like lobsters to the other common shrimps, is another outstanding feature of cuisine in Ha Long. To many local people, a dish of streamed shrimps, served with lemonadized salt and a dish of freshly spicy vegetables, is an ideal meal for a joyful friendly union.

Halong Bay Vietnam

Geographical position

Situated in the north-east region of Viet Nam, Halong Bay is a part of Bac Bo Gulf and comprises the sea area of Halong City, Cam Pha Town and a part of Van Don island district, Quang Ninh Province. It borders Cat Ba Island to the south-west, the mainland to the west with a 120km-long coastline.

Natural Beauty

Halong Bay covers a total area of 1,553km², including 1,969 islands of various sizes, 989 of which have been given names. There are two kinds, limestone and schist, which are concentrated in two main zones: the south-east (belonging to Bai Tu Long Bay) and the south-west (belonging to Halong Bay). The average geological age of the islands is between 250 and 280 million years old.  Halong bay tours

Halong Bay has been called by the great national poet Nguyen Trai: "a marvel of the earth erected towards the high skies". While exploring the bay, tourists will feel lost in a legendary world of stone islands which shapes change depending on the angle and the light. There are many names given to islands according to their shapes and forms such as Hon Dau Nguoi (Human Head Islet), Hon Rong (Dragon Islet), Hon Canh Buom (Sail Islet), Hon Trong Mai (Cock and Hen Islet)… But the beauty of Halong Bay does not consist only in the forms of its mountains, islands and the colour of its waters, but also in its infinitely rich system of grottoes and caves such as: Thien Cung (Heavenly Palace Grotto), Dau Go (Driftwood Grotto), Sung Sot (Surprise Grotto), Tam Cung (Three Palace Grotto), Trinh Nu (Virgin Grotto)…. Each is a grandiose and refined natural architectural creation.

Geological value

The most remarkable geological events of Halong Bay’s history in the last 1,000 years include the advance of the sea, the raising of the bay area and the strong erosion that has formed coral and pure blue and heavily-salted water. This process of erosion by sea water has deeply engraved the stone, contributing to its fantastic beauty. Present-day Halong Bay is the result of this long process of geological evolution that has been influenced by so many factors. It is because of all these factors that the tourists now visiting Halong Bay are not only treated to one of the true wonders of the world, but also to a precious geological museum that has been naturally preserved in the open air for the last 300 million years.

Value of biological diversity

Results of scientific research show that Halong Bay features ecosystems of a tropical ocean region such as ecosystem of coral reefs with 232 species of coral distributed mainly in the areas of Cong Do and Bo Hung. It is also home to 81 species of gastropoda, 130 species of bivalvia, 55 species of polycheta and 57 species of crab. The ecosystem of salt water-flooded forests chiefly concentrated in the zones of Tuan Chau, Cua Luc and Ba Che has the most diversified collection of species of salt water-flooded plant in North Vietnam. Also living in this ecosystem are a great many species of animals: migrating birds (200 species), polycheta (169 species), seaweed (91 species), reptile (10 species). Halong Bay also has ecosystem of tropical rain forests with various rare and precious creatures: deer, weasels, squirrels and in particular, white-tabby and red-haired monkeys. In addition, there is a system of small caves along the sea, which are the living and development places for many animals and plants: seaweed, water plant, algae, fish and shrimp. Deeper into the water, there are also many species of shrimp, fish, abalone and other sea-specialities.

Historical and cultural value

Halong is a place closely linked to Vietnam’s history with such famous geographical names as: Van Don (site of an ancient commercial port); Poem Mountain (with engravings of many poems by emperors and other famous people of the past); and Bach Dang River (the location of two fierce naval battles fought against foreign aggressors). This is not all, Halong has been proven by scientists to be one of the first cradles of human existence in the area, with such archaeological sites as Dong Mang, Xich Tho, Soi Nhu and Thoi Gieng…

On December 17, 1994, Halong Bay was recognised as world natural heritage for its natural beauty at the 18th meeting of the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO in Thailand. On December 12, 2000, Halong Bay was recognised as world natural heritage for the second time based on its geological value at the 24th meeting of the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO in Cairns, Australia. The recognised site covers an area of 434km², comprises 775 islands and forms a triangle: with Dau Go Island (Driftwood Grotto) to the west; Ba Ham Lake (Three Shelter Lake) to the south and Cong Tay Island to the east.
