"我估计现在大理80%～90%的民宿，都是亏损的。"在大理经营民宿13年的孙哥，很认真地对我说。 他是北方人，之前在凤凰古城开民宿，后来来了大理，开了一家很火的民宿，叫"云堂"，他正在装修 第二家民宿。 我们找了一家咖啡厅，坐在天台上聊天，这也是一家民宿，虽然天气晴朗，在11月的淡季，一个客 人都没有，想点两杯咖啡，但店员都不在。2022年我在大理时，这里每天都很热闹。这是民宿行业 的一个缩影。 一方面消费不振，不断转让倒闭，不断降价。另外一方面，民宿又在疯狂扩张。新店数量不断增长， 价格甚至越来越高。仅在大理，2024～2025 年，每晚2000～3000元的新民宿，不断上线，哪怕在11 月的淡季，价格并不低，2024年开张的"不下山"每晚2580元，"凡尘"：3300元。2025年的"木夕"： 2580元，"山叁夏"：3180元。开业不久的"青山村49号"，创下了大理最贵的民宿单价，整个别墅独 栋7个房间，每晚高达6.8万，不上携程，不接散客，据说马云也来住过。 怒江雾里村（南七道摄） | 城市/地区 | 景点 | 民宿名称 | 房型 | 价格(元/晚) | ...

2025年，你在"消费"上到底花了多少钱？ 伴随着各大购物、出行、社交等 APP 年度报告的出炉，有人对着账单上"严重超支"的数字长叹一口气，有 人在满屏的 "省钱小能手" 标签里沾沾自喜，有人在复盘里拧紧钱包的开关，也有人在 "犒劳自己" 的名义 下，继续为生活的仪式感买单：从 "假装上班" 的白领"闪现"咖啡厅，到直播间 "9 块 9 包邮拯救生活" 的 赛博狂欢……我们翻阅过去这一年的商业记录，发现最震撼的不是好与坏的泾渭分明，而是冰点与挣扎在 同一个市场空间里的剧烈交织。 从碎片里，寻找一些共性的 答案 出品｜虎嗅商业消费组 作者｜李佳琪 柳柳 编辑｜苗正卿 题图｜乐刻 这一年，消费市场正在完成一场静悄悄的价值重构。 一方面是极致的"消费降级"：临期食品超市排起长队，二手平台交易量激增。人们像精密仪器一样核算每 一分钱的效用，将"实用主义"奉为新圭臬。 另一方面，却又爆发出零星的、近乎非理性的"热点式狂欢"：玩具可以被炒至神话价位，"漂亮饭"值得被 掷千金。这不再是传统的炫耀性消费，而更像一种情绪赎买：人们抓住一个瞬间、一个符号、一个能制造 集体共鸣的稀缺入口，进行短暂而剧烈的自我确认。 于是，我们目 ...

这两件事撞在一起，撕开了中国公益最残酷的真相：我们依然习惯给好人立一座"贫穷的贞节牌坊"， 却拒绝给社会问题提供一套"有商业逻辑的解药"。 73万年薪多吗？ 本文来自微信公众号： 乡村笔记BTC ，作者：汪星宇 2026年开年，中国公益界被两个男人的命运，生生切割成了两个世界。 一边是李亚鹏。他在直播间红着眼眶，承认北京嫣然天使儿童医院正面临16年来最大的生存危机 ——欠租2600万，面临关停。紧接着，剧情魔幻反转：超过34万名网友在一周内筹集了2684万元 的"救命钱"。大家原谅了他的商业无能，理由单纯得近乎残酷：他够惨，且没动善款。 另一边是陈行甲。这位辞官从善的"全国优秀县委书记"，因为基金会公示的73万年薪被顶上热搜。 哪怕账目透明、程序合规，哪怕他把基金会管理费压到了惊人的5.03%，他依然在舆论海啸中选择了 道歉，并宣布：正式交棒，不再领薪。 在深圳，这不过是一个大厂中层或资深技术骨干的标配。但陈行甲提供的是什么？他在8年间撬动了 4927万元的社会捐赠，他用他在体制内积累的顶级治理经验和精算思维，构建了一个极致高效的救 助系统。 这里有一个被大众忽略的核心数据：5.03%。 根据《慈善法》及相关 ...
