二 | 交通住宿需规划。中消协提示，“五一”期间人流、车流量大，景点、道路可能出现拥堵的情况，消费者如果选择外出游玩，应提前规划好行程，合理安排出行路线和住宿酒店等。选择自驾游、长途巴士的消费者应时刻关注路况，尽量错峰出行。选择飞机、高铁出行的消费者要提前购买往返票，并通过正规平台、网站购票，如遇到有打折的车票或机票务必考虑折扣是否合理，不要轻信“特价机票”“内部渠道”等宣传，防止上当受骗。选定酒店时要通过正规平台多方比价，并仔细查看酒店的评分和其他消费者的评价，注意酒店周围的交通和环境。选择旅行社前要通过全国旅游监管服务平台查询旅行社的资质和注册信息，确保旅行社资质齐全、经营范围明确，并签订正规旅行合同，仔细审阅合同内容。
三 | Exxon Mobil is buying Pioneer Natural Resources in an all-stock deal valued at $59.5 billion, its largest buyout since acquiring Mobil two decades ago, creating a colossal fracking operator in West Texas. Including debt, Exxon is committing about $64.5 billion to the acquisition, leaving no doubt of the Texas energy company's commitment to fossil fuels as energy prices surge. Pioneer shareholders will receive 2.32 shares of Exxon for each Pioneer share they own.“I think fossil fuels, as the world looks to transition and find lower sources of affordable energy with lower emissions, fossil fuels oil and gas are going to continue to play a role over time,” Exxon Mobil CEO Darren Woods said during an interview with CNBC. “ That may diminish with time. The rate of that is, I think, not very clear at this stage. But it will be around for a long time.” Woods explained that Exxon and Pioneer will be able to use their combined capabilities to drive down emissions and produce lower carbon intensity oil and gas. Exxon purchased XTO Energy in 2009 for approximately $36 billion. In the late 1990s, the merger between Exxon and Mobil was valued around $80 billion.The deal with Pioneer Natural vastly expands Exxon's presence in the Permian basin, a massive oilfield that straddles the border between Texas and New Mexico. Drilling the Permian accounted for 18% of all U.S. natural gas production last year, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.Pioneer's more than 850,000 net acres in the Midland Basin will be combined with Exxon’s 570,000 net acres in the Delaware and Midland Basin, nearly contiguous fields that will allow the combined company to trim costs. That is a big driver of the deal. Natural gas rigs in operation have declined over 26% in the U.S. since the start of the year, according to government data, largely due to the rising costs for drilling materials and labor over the past two years. “Their tier-one acreage is highly contiguous, allowing for greater opportunities to deploy our technologies, delivering operating and capital efficiency as well as significantly increasing production,” Woods said of Pioneer in a prepared statement. The company will have an estimated 16 billion barrels of oil equivalent in the Permian.Once the deal closes, Exxon Permian production volume will more than double to 1.3 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, based on 2023 volumes. It's expected to climb to about 2 million barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2027. “The combination of ExxonMobil and Pioneer creates a diversified energy company with the largest footprint of high-return wells in the Permian Basin,” Pioneer CEO Scott Sheffield said in a prepared statement. Citi's Alastair Syme wrote that the transaction could provide multiple benefits to Exxon. “Across the industry, the logic of consolidation in the highly fragmented Permian shale remains compelling with significant gains to be achieved from economies of scale by minimizing facilities spend, optimizing drilling and reducing" general spending, Syme wrote. Exxon is flush with cash. The company posted unprecedented profits last year of $55.7 billion, breezing past its previous record of $45.22 billion in 2008 when oil prices hit record highs.Exxon Mobil Corp. has been using some of that cash on acquisitions. In July the company announced that it was buying pipeline operator Denbury in an all-stock deal valued at $4.9 billion.Pioneer Natural has been making similar maneuvers. In 2020 the company said it was buying Parsley Energy in an all-stock deal valued at approximately $4.5 billion. It then purchased DoublePoint Energy in a cash-and-stock deal worth about $6.4 billion in 2021.The boards of both companies have approved the transaction, which is expected to close in the first half of next year. It still needs approval from Pioneer shareholders. Shares of Exxon fell more than 4% in Wednesday morning trading.。 购物充值要警惕。“五一”期间不少商家会开展各种促销活动，其中难免鱼龙混杂，消费者要审慎选择、理性消费，避免落入各种消费陷阱。在购买商品前，消费者应当先评估自身的消费能力，然后货比三家择优选购，面对商家的促销和宣传不要冲动，多关注商品的品质。对于需要购卡充值的预付消费，消费者务必仔细审阅合同条款，明确退费、违约等事项，避免一次性充值过大金额。另外，不要听信自称中消协帮忙办理退款退费的电话、短信和平台信息，中消协已在声明中多次强调此系不法分子冒充，而且正规退费流程一般会以原路返还的形式返还本人缴费账号，凡是退款时要求额外支付费用的，都是诈骗。
四 | 饮食就餐讲卫生。消费者外出就餐时要注意“舌尖上”的安全，尽量选择经营资质齐全、就餐环境干净卫生、食品量化等级高及实施“名厨亮灶”的餐厅就餐，并关注菜品是否新鲜，不要食用“野味”和未加工处理的“生鲜”食品。购买食品时要选择包装及标签信息完整的食品，并按照说明保存和食用。 消费纠纷留证据。购物凭证是消费者与商家发生消费纠纷后，依法维权的重要证明。广大消费者在购买、使用商品或旅游消费中，一定要注意索取并妥善保留购物发票、收据、支付记录等消费凭证。当自身合法权益受到损害时，应当本着合法、正当、公平原则，首先与商家协商解决，如果和解不成，可向有关部门投诉，也可通过全国消协智慧315平台向消协组织投诉。
