Three carmakers, including a General Motor’s (GM) venture, have priced their electric vehicles (EVs) below the 100,000 yuan (US$13,894) threshold in China, firing the first salvo in a price war that could reshape the country’s automotive sector.

If you Google “idyllic wineries”, the chances are that Matanzas Creek in Sonoma County, California, will appear near the top of the list. That’s thanks to the spectacular terraced lavender fields which surround it and make it a draw for photographers as much as oenophiles. Visitors can sample its award-winning sustainably farmed Sauvignon Blanc or Merlot, maybe while enjoying a game of bocce ball – a little like an ancient Italian version of boules – before hitting the boutique for fragrant souvenirs and checking out the winery’s library of vintages.

While developing this column, I came across a request for advice on starting a college essay with a quote. The paper was to address the question, "Why should we choose you if there was one spot open?" The best answer featured a quote by Clint Eastwood's character in the 1971 film : "Go ahead, make my day". It would have scored well for originality, an important quality which admission tutors look for.

I came across these numbers because the century-plus-old company, once the symbol of America’s industrial might – originally founded by Andrew Carnegie and then merged by J.P. Morgan and Charles Schwab – is in all the news again. Nippon Steel, Japan’s largest steelmaker, has offered a whopping US$14.1 billion, or US$55 a share, to take over US Steel.

Yours truly sold his shares in X, the steel company’s trade symbol, less than two months ago at US$33 after holding them since the last global financial crisis when I bought at US$50.
