From 478,000/368,000 onwards, the pre-sale of M9/M8 in 2025 was asked.

On March 6th, HarmonyOS Zhixing’s two high-profile models, the 2025 model and the official opening of the pre-sale, set off a boom in the automobile market. Among them, in 2025, the pre-sale price of the M9 for the border is 478,000 yuan, and that of the M8 for the border is 368,000 yuan. It is reported that the 2025 M9 will be listed in shock this month, and the M8 is scheduled to officially meet with consumers in April.

Wenjie M8 is positioned as "flagship SUV of family wisdom", with a wheelbase of 3105mm, which is only 5mm shorter than Wenjie M9, the same as the wheelbase, and the body size is close to it. It is available in two versions, 5-seat version and 6-seat version, to meet the travel needs of different families. Judging from the pre-sale price, the M-8 card in Wenjie fills the gap between the M-9 card and the M-9 card in Wenjie, further improves the product matrix of HarmonyOS Zhixing, and enters the high-end SUV market of new energy together with the M-9 card in 2025. In terms of power, M8 will simultaneously introduce two power forms: extended range and pure electricity. The extended range version is equipped with a range extender with a power of 1.5T and 118kW, and uses a driving motor with the front 165kW and the rear 227kW. The maximum speed is 200km/h, and its strength cannot be underestimated.

The 2025 model M9 was declared in February this year, including plug-in extended range and pure electric power, and equipped with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited ternary lithium-ion battery. This change has been upgraded in terms of intelligent driving hardware, which further enhances the intelligent driving ability and brings users a more advanced travel experience. It is worth mentioning that HarmonyOS Zhixing also provides optional original hardware upgrade scheme for the owners of the current M9 model, and at the same time, the current model will continue to upgrade the software features of OTA, so that the old car owners can also enjoy the constantly upgraded service. Externally, the 2025 model M9 adds the color of Jinrui red, which is more unique and distinguished. In terms of seats, 5-seat version and 6-seat version are available for consumers to choose freely. In addition, the new car is also equipped with ten black technologies, such as Huawei’s advanced intelligent driving, Xuanwu hard-core body, Huawei Turing platform and intelligent privacy windows, etc., to improve the performance and quality of vehicles in all directions.

After the pre-sale was opened, the market response of the two models was extremely enthusiastic. Wen Jie M9 2025 pre-sale 6 hours small order over 11000 units; The pre-sale price of the M8 started from 368,000 yuan, and the small order exceeded 21,000 units in 6 hours, and the small order exceeded 7,500 units in 1 hour after the opening of the reservation, showing consumers’ high recognition and expectation for these two new cars.

Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, chairman of BG, and chairman of BU, a smart car solution, said that the launch of the M8 and the M9 in 2025 is another important layout of HarmonyOS Zhixing in the field of new energy vehicles. With the advantages of Huawei’s full-stack technology, ever-changing luxury space, all-dimensional safety and more personalized selection, these two models are expected to stand out in the highly competitive new energy vehicle market and bring consumers better and smarter travel choices.

Judging from the market competition pattern, there are relatively few participants in the 400,000-class hybrid SUV market, and the external competing products of M8 are mainly L9. According to the analysis of Ping An Securities Research Report, the expansion trend of the extended-range market is clear, and the customer M8 is expected to replicate the successful experience of the customer M9, accept the sinking market bonus of the customer M9, and become an explosion-proof vehicle of 400,000 yuan. It is estimated that the steady-state monthly sales of the customer M8 will reach about 15,000 vehicles. In the 500,000-class SUV market in 2025, with its continuous product upgrade and technical advantages, it is expected to continue the brilliant achievement of the 500,000-class sales champion for 11 consecutive months.

With the opening of the pre-sale of the 2025 model, the layout of HarmonyOS Zhixing in the new energy vehicle market is more perfect and the product matrix is more abundant. The listing of these two new cars will bring more quality choices to consumers, and their performance in the market in the future is worth looking forward to.

Early detection and treatment may be the key to life and death.

  When she was discharged from the hospital, she took a picture at the gate of the hospital.

  Her husband records the changes of her illness on the desk calendar every day, and the photos are provided by Piao Piao Sao.

  Oral speaker: 53-year-old female, Piaopiaosa (net name), emergency doctor of Wuhan Eighth Hospital.

  On February 16th, the doctor named Piao Piao Sao was discharged from the hospital and went home for 6 days. Half a month ago, she thought she would never come back.

  Recalling the 20 days from illness to critical illness to recovery, Piao Piao sighed that "the disease developed rapidly beyond imagination". As a medical worker, she wants to remind all the patients who are being treated with her own experience that COVID-19’s clinical manifestations are diverse, with different degrees of severity, and her condition changes quite quickly, sometimes within a few hours. Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment are the key. Especially when there is any discomfort in your body, don’t bear it. You must inform the doctor at the first time, which is probably the key point to decide life and death.

  For hours, I was so asymptomatic that I couldn’t walk

  I have been sitting there since the emergency department was changed into a fever clinic.

  On the morning of January 23rd, I took my temperature as usual: normal. I ate a bowl of egg noodles and rushed to the hospital. On that day, there were still many patients.

  At 9 o’clock in the morning, I received a notice from the hospital, asking us to take time to do a CT scan. I usually have the habit of fitness, and my health has always been very good. My colleagues call me Iron Man. But I took the CT as required. "There is something wrong with the film, 4 places!" When I got the CT results, my heart thumped and I began to think about when I was recruited.

  I have taken my temperature every morning since I went to the fever clinic. On the 22nd, there were a lot of patients. Although they called each other, there were several patients and their families standing in front of me as soon as they entered the clinic. The head nurse was worried that the air in the clinic would not circulate, so she opened the window. I sat by the window and felt a little cold, so I closed the window. She was worried that the air in the clinic was not circulating, and I felt cold. We kept opening and closing the windows, perhaps because of the cold, or because we were too tired to work overtime for several days in a row. In short, our immunity declined. This is the only reason I can think of.

  I don’t have a fever, and I don’t have any symptoms. I should be in the early stage. I should be able to get well soon when I go home to take medicine. I quickly diagnosed myself. I went to the pharmacy to get moxifloxacin, oseltamivir, Abidor tablets and Lianhua Qingwen capsules, and went back to the office to pack my things and go home. Feeling a little hot in my head, I took out a thermometer and measured it: 38.7 degrees. I have a fever. I decided to go home at once.

  It only takes five or six minutes to walk from home to the hospital. When I get home, I’m going to take a bath and then sleep. Before I entered the bathroom, I began to have a severe headache and vomiting, and I had no energy at all. "I heard that you were recruited?" My brother called. "There is something wrong with taking CT, and people are a little uncomfortable. I won’t tell you first." At this time, I have no strength to hold my mobile phone, and I just want to hang up quickly.

  My husband went back to his hometown, and I was the only one at home. At this point, my whole body is extremely weak. The disease is developing so fast that I didn’t expect it. I must go to the hospital at once. The director’s phone call came in. He was infected a week earlier than me, saying that he knew my situation and immediately sent someone to pick me up at the gate of the community. From home to the door of the community, it usually takes only two or three minutes, and I walked for more than 20 minutes that day. For the first time, I feel that the road is so difficult and long. If only someone could carry me. A doctor and two nurses in the emergency department were already waiting at the door, and they pushed me to the hospital by flat car.

  The fever has gone down, and I thought I was getting better.

  I was admitted to the hospital. Woke up again, it was the next afternoon, and I had a high fever for a day and a night.

  After treatment, the body temperature dropped quickly. During my stay in the Eighth Hospital, my temperature was high and low, and I kept sweating repeatedly, and I had to change several sets of underwear a day. The most uncomfortable thing is headache and severe fatigue. The nurse came to give me an injection, and I didn’t even have the strength to raise my hand. I have no appetite at all. I only ate two or two porridge for five days in hospital.

  On the fifth day, the results of nucleic acid test came out: positive, and I was diagnosed as COVID-19. My husband was very worried about me, so he asked someone to buy albumin and globulin for me, but my temperature never dropped to normal. On the eighth day, I was informed that I was transferred to Jinyintan Hospital in Wuhan for further treatment.

  There were four people on a transfer car, and there was no oxygen on the car. I opened my mouth as wide as possible and kept panting. "How long will it take to get there?" We kept asking along the way, and it seemed that there was no end in sight for more than 10 minutes.

  At 1: 00 noon on the 30th, I was admitted to an ordinary isolation ward on the second floor of Jinyintan Hospital, where the attending team was the Shanghai medical team. After hormone shock therapy, my fever dropped the next morning, my chest suddenly became clear, I felt much more comfortable and my spirit improved.

  I breathed a sigh of relief and thought that my condition was developing in a good direction.

  On the third day of transfer, his condition turned sharply and he was dying.

  February 1st, 10th day of hospitalization, 3rd day of transfer.

  No one expected that my condition would suddenly take a turn for the worse at night: I had difficulty breathing and a severe cough, as if my heart would pop out at any time after running 10 thousand meters. The heart rate is very slow, and there is an indescribable chest pain sweeping through the body. If you move a little, you will be in pain. I think this should be the second counterattack of the virus.

  I am a doctor. According to the symptoms, I judged that I had endocarditis and pericardial effusion, so I quickly told the doctor about my situation. I vaguely heard the nurse say that "the situation is not very good, and people are dying." I don’t think I can make it tonight myself. Thinking that I might never see my husband and daughter again, I struggled to get through to my husband. "I can’t … …” Hearing this sentence, my husband cried with a "wow". Every time I say a word, my chest pains are suffocating. I can only pick the most worrying things and make a simple explanation to him.

  Soon, the nurse came to draw blood and the doctor added medicine to me. The next day, my test results came out, pericarditis. The doctor said, fortunately, I spoke early and won valuable time for them to deal with it. My life was saved by myself.

  After that, my situation improved day by day. On the eighth day, I felt that I had recovered almost, and applied for CT and nucleic acid examination. I heard that I wanted to leave the hospital, but my husband worried that I was not well and advised me to stay a few more days. I can’t occupy such precious medical resources. I have to make room for patients who need urgent treatment. In order to reassure him, I sent him photos of three meals a day, and also asked my patients to help me take a video of my exercise in the ward and send it to him.

  On February 11th, I was discharged from the hospital. After life and death, it seems like a lifetime ago. When my husband came to pick me up, he specially brought the changes of my illness that he recorded for me every day for 20 days. Seeing the familiar fonts on the desk calendar, I burst into tears. Only after experiencing life and death can we know that living is really happy.

  I’ll be isolated at home for another eight days, and then I can go to work. I am very grateful to my colleagues in the hospital for their care and support, and to all the medical staff of the Shanghai Medical Team of Jinyintan Hospital for their meticulous treatment. I want to go to the battlefield again and fight with my brothers and sisters to the end. I want to see Wuhan filled with fireworks as soon as possible. When the quarantine expires, I will donate plasma and treat more patients with my own blood. (Reporter Liu Xuan)

Drinking tea is bad for the heart? Actually, it’s the wrong way

  China is the hometown of tea. Chinese has discovered and used tea for thousands of years, and many people like drinking tea very much. However, there is news on the Internet recently that drinking tea is bad for the heart and may even lead to heart disease. Is it true?/You don’t say.

  In fact, drinking tea is not bad for the heart, and it may even be beneficial — — This should start with the special ingredients in tea. Tea is usually rich in flavonoid antioxidants, such as tea polyphenols and catechins, which give tea an attractive fragrance. In addition, tea also contains a lot of caffeine. In the process of making tea, some of these substances will dissolve into the tea. Therefore, tea is actually a drink containing a variety of plant antioxidants and caffeine.

  Tea is rich in antioxidant substances such as tea polyphenols, which can scavenge human free radicals and have certain benefits to health. Judging from a large number of current studies, drinking tea is good for the heart and cardiovascular system — — It may significantly reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke by reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ("bad cholesterol").

  A study in Journal of American Heart Association took six years to analyze the relationship between the change of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level in the blood of more than 80,000 Chinese and drinking tea. The results show that the HDL-C level of people who insist on drinking tea for a long time decreases more slowly, and the risk of cardiovascular diseases decreases by 8%, which is beneficial to cardiovascular health.

  China’s "Food and Health-Scientific Evidence and Consensus" summarizes and analyzes the research on tea and health, and thinks that drinking tea can reduce the risk of diabetes, stroke and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, it can be considered that drinking tea is not only harmless to the heart, but also beneficial.

  However, because tea contains caffeine, some people drink too much tea, which will lead to discomfort such as palpitations, so some people worry that drinking tea is not good for the heart. In fact, this is a normal phenomenon, which is called "tea drunk" by the people. As long as you drink it in moderation, there will be no problem.

  At present, the international research on caffeine is relatively sufficient, and authoritative health institutions believe that moderate drinking of coffee and caffeine will not cause damage to the heart. For example, the American Heart Association, the European Heart Association, the Australian National Institute of Health and Medical Research and other institutions believe that healthy adults drinking coffee in moderation (1 to 2 cups a day, about 200 milligrams of caffeine) will not increase the risk of heart disease and cardiovascular disease.

  Compared with coffee, there is much less caffeine in tea. The caffeine content in a cup of tea is usually only 40 to 80 mg, which is less than half that of an equivalent cup of coffee. Therefore, it is no problem to drink 3 to 4 cups of light tea, such as white tea and green tea every day; For some strong tea, such as black tea, the caffeine content will be more, but drinking 2 cups will not be a problem. Of course, if your heart and head are really uncomfortable after drinking tea, try not to drink or drink less.

  According to the data of China Cardiovascular Disease Report 2017, the number of cardiovascular patients in China has reached 290 million, and cardiovascular deaths account for 40% of the deaths of residents, which is higher than tumors and other diseases, ranking first; Moreover, the morbidity and mortality are still on the rise. From the current research, maybe drinking some tea every day can also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, which is beneficial to the body.

  It is worth noting that many people may drink tea in the wrong way. How can drinking tea be beneficial to health?

  First, don’t drink too much tea or drink too much tea. Drinking a lot of tea, in addition to too much and too strong caffeine intake, tannic acid in tea may also affect the absorption of iron, which is not good for health — — It is recommended not to drink more than 4 cups of tea every day. Second, drinking tea every day is best arranged in the afternoon, not too late, so as not to affect sleep. What needs special reminder is that you should try to stay away from sugary tea drinks. At present, there is no evidence that sugary tea drinks also have cardiovascular protection. Therefore, tea drinks should not be used instead of drinking tea, let alone deliberately drinking tea drinks to protect cardiovascular health.

Chongwai region industry and commerce club

  Original title: Why are there many industrial and commercial halls in Chongwai area?

  The traffic location is convenient for businessmen.

  According to the Records of Place Names in Chongwen District, there are 154 halls in Old Chongwen District. Although some of them are called fellow country halls, they are actually industry or industrial and commercial halls. There are not many halls that really serve the literati who came to Beijing to take the exam. There are only two halls, Jizhou Trial Hall and Zunhua Trial Hall, which are called trial halls, which are different from other halls.

Linfen Guild Hall, located in Ximaochang Street, is more than 400 years old, and was jointly built by five elements merchants in Linfen, Shanxi.

Linfen Guild Hall, located in Ximaochang Street, is more than 400 years old, and was jointly built by five elements merchants in Linfen, Shanxi.

  Historically, Shanxi businessmen and Shandong businessmen once dominated Beijing’s economy. Lu ‘an Guild Hall, which was once located in the south of Guangqumen Inner Street Road (now around Anhua Building), was built by Shanxi merchants who engaged in copper, iron, tin and carbon. In the old days, the hardware industry regarded the old gentleman in Taishang as the industry god, so there was an old gentleman hall dedicated to the old gentleman in Taishang in the guild hall. According to historical data, Lu ‘an Guild Hall appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and it grew from small to large, becoming one of the great guilds in Beijing. The "Monument" in the hall in 1920 said: "There was a Shenlu Temple in the old Lu County Hall, and the room outside the courtyard was the tomb of Lu people. For example, offering sacrifices to the meeting, raising the life and stopping the coffin, to the managers of the three gangs of copper, iron and tobacco bags for the county people. " Lu ‘an Guild Hall has the Laojun Temple and the altar for offering sacrifices to the furnace god, because the hardware industry can’t do without smelting furnace, so it is natural to offer sacrifices to the furnace god in the Guild Hall, and the old place name of the Guild Hall was called the furnace holy temple.

  Shanxi Linfen Guild Hall was established by Shanxi merchants, and Shanxi pigment merchants also built another pigment guild hall in Qingyun Hutong. Pigment is not a concept in the old days, it includes many building materials and daily necessities, and it is a big industry. According to the data of Beijing’s economic history, "the cover of the paint shop is a flower stick, which is more than a foot long. Generally, it is painted in five colors: red, yellow, black, green and blue, decorated with golden flowers and painted with golden paths". This kind of flower stick, also known as the Five Flower Stick, is said to be specially designed to beat the emperor who fainted, and Emperor Yangdi was killed by the Five Flower Stick. Later, the five-flower stick became the symbol of the paint shop. "This kind of cover is always hung, not if other shops hang it early and later, it is intended to be the monarch of Yongzhen."

  The pigment shop also sells all kinds of waxes, such as Jingyang Yellow Wax and Sichuan White Wax. In the years when there was no electric light, wax was mostly used for urban residents’ lighting, and wax was still a sacrificial object. When they got married, they were called "wedding night", and some scholars "read by candlelight at night", and candles were wax.

  Linxiang Guild Hall, located in the eastern city of Chongwai, is also related to Shanxi merchants. It was established by Xiangling merchants in Linfen.

  Cixi Guild Hall was established by a clothing merchant in Cixi, Zhejiang. Garment shops are shops that process, customize and sell garments. In 1923, there were 84 garment shops in Beijing. Shanxi cloth merchants built Jinyi Guild Hall in Xiaojiang Hutong, which was also called "Cloth Guild Hall" because it was built by cloth merchants among Shanxi merchants. According to "Atlas of China Cultural Relics", by the time of the Republic of China, Jinyi Guild Hall was no longer used as a cloth business meeting, but as a place for people from Yicheng, Shanxi Province to reunite in Beijing, and also provided free living services for people who went to Beijing temporarily. In 2011, Jinyi Hall became a part of Liu Laogen Hall.

  In addition, Fujian paper merchants built Yanshao Guild Hall in Chongwai, while Yuanning Guild Hall was funded by Jiangsu silk merchants.

  There are many historical reasons for "worshipping foreign countries" industries and industrial and commercial halls. Since the Ming Dynasty, the Grand Canal was cut in two due to the construction of the outer city. "The soil is getting higher and higher, and the boat can’t reach it." The pier of Jishuitan can’t be used anymore, and the terminal pier of the Grand Canal was changed under the Datong Bridge in Dongbianmen, not far from Chongwenmen. In addition to water transport vessels, there are many merchant ships at Datong Bridge Wharf. Merchants often unload ships here. Besides building warehouses and warehouses in Chongwai, they also build industrial and commercial halls. They live in the halls to facilitate business.

  Since the Ming Dynasty, Chongwenmen has been a very important tax gate. At the end of Qing Dynasty, Prince Su once supervised Chongwenmen’s tax gate. He honored the collected taxes to "Lafayette" and became Cixi’s "rouge money" for her to squander at will. It is said that many of Beijing’s "official residences" were built by her with uncountable rouge money, and she profited a lot from them, which shows that the amount of tariffs and taxes in Chongwenmen is large. After paying taxes, most businessmen live in Chongwai area nearby. They don’t live in chicken feather shops, but prefer private residences. Of course, the most convenient place is the clubhouse built by peers. As a result, it is normal that there are many industrial and commercial and trade halls in Chongwai area.

  In addition, Chongwai area is the hometown of handicraft industry in history, and all kinds of products have become the source of goods for merchants from all walks of life. Vendors from all over the world bargain and discuss business here. Merchants will build some halls in Chongwai nearby. Although some halls are nominally literati test halls, the imperial examination is held once every three years, and people in the industrial and commercial circles mainly live in them on weekdays. It is natural that there are many industrial and commercial halls in Chongwai Hall.

  Handicraft developed and business prospered.

  There are many industrial and commercial halls in Chongwai area, which has a lot to do with the development of handicrafts here. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, in addition to many small weaving factories, hosiery factories, hemp rope factories and towel factories, handicrafts such as paper, silk, paper and flower, filigree inlay, cloisonne, ivory carving and feeder have been worshiped abroad, especially around Huashi Street, where they have grown and developed, leaving an unforgettable page.

  In the 1920s, Beijing Practical Guide made statistics on handicraft workshops and shops in Chongwai area. For example, there are 9 Cui Hua Bureau (making glass jadeite); There are 18 paper flower shops, most of which are in the flower market. There are 13 hemp rope shops, 14 hemp shops and 4 official hemp shops. Chongwenmen was the gate of liquor import and export in history. There was a great demand for wine baskets in that year, and there were as many as 13 shops buying and selling wine baskets in Chongwai area. Interestingly, the shops that buy and sell shoulder poles are also concentrated in the flower market area, with 8 shops. There are 6 feeder shops, and all the mirrors in Beijing are laid in four flower markets, totaling 11.

  In 2008, Donghuashi Street also made statistics on the shops and workshops in Donghuashi Street in the 1940s, and made the brand "Flower Market Store Directory". There are more than 300 shops recorded in the store directory, mainly Donghuashi Street, excluding Xihuashi Street and the surrounding hutongs, among which there are four paper flower velvet flower shops, and the velvet silk flower Trade Association is also in this street, with one feeder, one silk cutter, one inlay and one enamel shop (workshop) each.

  The flower market is famous for its flowers, but the flowers here are not flowers, but velvet flowers, silk flower flowers and paper flowers, which are called "Beijing flowers". "Jinghua" was once an indispensable ornament for Beijingers, especially decades ago, middle-aged and elderly women wore bright red velvet flowers on their heads during the Chinese New Year holiday, which was very festive from a distance. Flowers bloom for a short time in the north, and there are seasonal restrictions. People who love beauty decorate the environment with silk flower and put silk flower in a vase to make the room full of spring scenery. As for paper flowers, wreaths are mainly made, and all kinds of flowers have their own uses. The "Jinghua" industry was once very prosperous. According to the "Overview of Industry and Commerce in Beiping", in old Beijing, "there are more than 1,000 flower growers in various markets and homes."

  The "Jinghua" workshop in the flower market generally does not do all the work, but has a clear division of labor. Some specialize in flowers, some in pistils, some in leaves, and some people or workshops assemble them into finished flowers. "Every morning, thousands of people gather in the flower market to display their products in the market". In addition to retail, larger stalls and "Flower Village" run wholesale and sell "Jinghua" to all parts of the country. In the development of "Jinghua", large-scale merchants, such as flower shops and flower villages, appeared to specialize in the sale of "Jinghua".

  The technical content of making "Jinghua" is not high. Assembling flowers, stamens and branches is called "saving live". Adults and children can do it, which has solved many people’s employment. In addition to being used as headgear and decorating life, "Jinghua" merchants also provide services for opera artists and act as "outfits". Famous artists such as "Hua Er Liu", "Hua Er Gong" and "Hua Er Jin" have emerged in Beijing Flower Industry. Hemp rope is an indispensable material for Beijing gardeners, so there are many hemp shops in Donghua Market alone. Later, plastic flowers appeared on the stage, and velvet flowers and silk flower plummeted. Coupled with changes in folk customs, not many people wore velvet flowers. "Jinghua" basically doesn’t exist, except for those who make wreaths, and even "Jingyi silk flower Sales Department" has disappeared.

  In addition to the flower industry, there are many handicrafts in Chongwai that are unique in Beijing, such as filigree mosaic, which is very famous. Filament inlay is a traditional handicraft in China. It processes gold and silver into filaments, shapes them by pushing, pinching and weaving, and engraves patterns on the gold and silver filaments, and then inlays them with beautiful pearls, jade and precious stones. The products inlaid with filigree can be roughly divided into three categories, one is jewelry, the other is display and decoration, and the other is to decorate filigree with some daily necessities. Nowadays, filigree mosaic has become a national intangible cultural heritage.

  The feeder is also an ancient industry. The grape feeder made in the famous "Grape Factory" is as shiny and shiny as a real grape. The grape feeder is inherited by the "Chang sisters" who originally lived in the flower market. They are Mongolians. In order to keep this craft secret, the Chang sisters never marry. Their deeds are often seen in newspapers. Scholar Deng Tuo once wrote: "The two generations of the Chang family kept the cold, and a hundred years passed down. The purple color of the grapes damages the beauty, and the old dreams are like smoke! "

  There are many kinds of feeders in old Beijing, except grapes, peaches, fruits, pears, flowers, animals and people can be confused. The feeder takes glass as the main material, and the handicrafts made are colorful, ingenious, lifelike, exquisite, crystal clear and lovely, and are loved by people. In 1964, the feeder company built a building near Longtan Lake, and more than 800 people were engaged in feeder production. Prior to this, feeder artists were all based on families or workshops, distributed in Huashi Street and surrounding alleys, which should be the birthplace of old Beijing feeders in Huashi area.

  Cloisonne, also known as inlaid enamel, is a kind of ware made of fine copper wire woven into various patterns on a copper tire, and then the enamel glaze is mainly blue and filled in the patterns. Cloisonne craft has a history of 600-700 years in China, and it is called "Cloisonne" because of its high development, exquisite technology and various varieties during the Jingtai period in the Ming Dynasty. Before the Japanese invaders invaded China, cloisonne products in Beijing sold very well, and most of them were exported to Europe, America and Japan, and the Japanese secretly copied them. At the time of its prosperity, there were nearly 100 cloisonne workshops with more than 2,700 employees. Dexingcheng, the second lane in Chongwai, and Da Rui Hall in Tea Hutong are among them. In 1923, there were 15 "Jingtai enamel shops" in Beijing, specializing in cloisonne products. In 1950, Beijing Enamel Factory was built in the south of the Temple of Heaven, and the road next to the factory was named Jingtai Road.

  Chongwai is known as the hometown of handicrafts and the birthplace of many handicrafts in Beijing. The "Hundred Workshops" established a few years ago confirmed the prosperity of Chongwai handicrafts. Before 1990, there were glassware factories, feeder products factories, art red light factories, craft woodcarving factories, jade factories, theatrical outfitting factories, etc. Many handicraft factories gathered in the same area, which explained the origin of industrial and commercial halls in Chongwai area from the side.

On December 21, 2016, Zhao Lei’s digital album "Can’t Grow Up" was exclusively released in Netease Cloud Music. Two months later, that is, two weeks after he won the runner-up, the sales of the album on Netease Cloud Music exceeded 200,000, which is nearly twice the total sales of the album on other music platforms.

 

From the popularity of Zhao Lei, we can see the characteristics of Netease Cloud Music, which is also a music platform. Zhao Lei’s fan growth rate, album sales and comments on Netease Cloud Music far exceed other platforms. Even QQ music with Zhao Lei’s exclusive live singing of "Chengdu" and more users failed to surpass Netease Cloud Music in data.

This is related to the community atmosphere and user types of Netease Cloud Music. Most of its more than 200 million users are young people from first-and second-tier cities, aged between 15 and 35, mostly students and white-collar workers. These people regard Netease Cloud Music as a music version of Weibo and a circle of friends, where they not only listen to songs and write song lists, but also frequently interact with independent musicians such as Zhao Lei, Li Zhi and Chen Li.

 

Compared with users of other platforms, these users contributed more music payment data. In 2016, the number of paid members of Netease Cloud Music increased by more than 9 times compared with 2015, while the number of digital album buyers increased by more than 7 times compared with 2015.

 

"Now QQ music and cool dog music rank in the top two in the industry, and we are tied for third place with Cool Me." Zhu Yiwen, CEO of Netease Cloud Music, told the reporter of Caijing Tianxia Weekly.

 

In the ranking of mobile application apps published by China Unicom in March 2017, QQ Music and Cool Dog Music ranked the top two in terms of monthly active users of 200 million and 150 million, while Netease Cloud Music and Cool Me Music ranked 56 million and 44 million respectively.

 

This App with crimson as the background color has become an out-and-out dark horse in the online music market.

 

According to the 2016 China Mobile Music Market Annual Comprehensive Report released by Analysys think tank, Netease Cloud Music increased by 163.8% in 2016 compared with the same period in 2014. Another data worth mentioning is the "music library utilization rate", that is, the efficiency of songs in the music library being played and listened to by users. The usage rate of Netease Cloud Music reaches 80%, while the industry average is less than 20%. This means that Netease Cloud Music is better at revitalizing the music library, and their users are also better at discovering "unpopular" music.

 

In April 2016, Netease Cloud Music was upgraded from the Music Product Center of Hangzhou Research Institute to the Music Division, becoming an institution on the same level as games, mailboxes, media and other projects. At the same time, it was reported that it started financing of 1 billion yuan, with a valuation of 8 billion yuan.

 

playlist

UGC mode not only increases the number of "song lists", but also improves the quality of song lists. The most important thing is to make the "music playing software" originally defined as a tool have social attributes-after editing and uploading the song list, users will actively push the song list on social media to show their music taste, and users with the same genre hobbies will comment and share under the song list. This makes the originally lonely music play lively.

 

"Most of the previous products told users’ I have a lot of songs here, you can listen to and download songs here’, and we want to tell users that we can help you find good songs, especially those that you may like but you don’t know."

 

In January 2013, Netease Cloud Music logged into the App Store, and Zhu Yiwen brushed Weibo all night that night and found that it "caused a sensation, and many people commented that it was a subversive product".

The first group of users are "musicians from major music forums or platforms". With the help of Chloe Wang’s connections in the music circle, they called "more than 20 best DJs in China" to upload song lists in Netease Cloud Music Production, which quickly caused users to follow suit, and more music lovers entered Cloud Music and made their own song lists.

 

Users have uploaded their own song lists compiled in different environments and emotions to Netease Cloud Music. Just from the name of the song list, they can see their love for this way of creation. Besides the common song lists that express their emotional needs, such as "those songs that accompanied me through the lovelorn period" and "healing songs", there are also songs that are suitable for different environments, such as "essential songs for knitting sweaters in the sun in winter", "most suitable songs for drinking coffee in the afternoon" and "essential songs for the elderly chess room".

 

Some fans enjoy making song lists without any material rewards, just hoping to meet "bosom friends".

 

"In version 1.0, in order to encourage some opinion leaders to create song lists, we will put their song lists on the homepage for recommendation, so that the collection and playback of song lists will increase rapidly, which is a great encouragement for the creators."

 

Of course, in addition to the appreciation from "bosom friends", song list makers will also get accusations from other users, such as "it is really a failure not to put such a song into the song list", and such nitpicking and responses have spawned user interaction, which, in Zhu Yiwen’s view, is "the embryonic form of music socialization".

 

Now, cloud music generates an average of 420,000 song lists every day. On the cloud music platform, the number of high-quality song lists (songs collected by more than 100 people) exceeds 200 million, among which the most clicked song list is "epic music that shocked the soul" made by ordinary users, with 1.17 million people collecting it, 28.82 million playing it and more than 17,000 comments. Some users commented under this song list, "Because of this song list,

 

"Now the song list has become a productivity tool." Zhu Yiwen said that with the increase in the number and quality of song lists, these song lists have replaced "music collections" in a wider range to meet the needs of different scenes. Some wedding companies directly use the wedding song list on Netease Cloud Music as the background sound of the wedding scene, while some video production companies choose the appropriate background music from the song list.

 

Today, the homepage of Netease Cloud Music no longer recommends a few songs in a unified way, but makes "personalized recommendations" according to each user’s music habits. Using big data technology, they will recommend songs that they may like according to the characteristics of different users.

 

"For example, if one million people like to listen to Blue Lotus as well as Ice Rain, which proves that the two songs are related, then we will recommend this combination to those who only listen to one of the songs. This is the basic algorithm for our song recommendation." Zhu Yiwen said.

 

This song list combination algorithm has brought higher activity to Netease Cloud Music. Now 50% of users are used to clicking and reading comments when listening to songs, which is a scene that has never appeared on other music platforms.

 

▲ Recently, Netease Cloud Music made the high-quality music reviews of ordinary users into posters and put them on the Hangzhou subway to explode the circle of friends.

 

In Zhu Yiwen’s view, this data proves that they have changed the listening habits of some people.

 

"In the past, everyone turned off the screen and listened to music after turning on the music player, but now they will listen to songs while listening to them, which proves that he is not listening to songs alone, but listening to songs with a group of people, which brings a human touch to Netease Cloud Music."

 

This has become the biggest moat of Netease Cloud Music. These music-loving users have continuously created content for Netease Cloud Music Platform, which extends a better "community atmosphere".

 

"The function may be imitated by others. If we are just a playing tool, others can easily copy our function. But today we are a community and they can’t copy my content. "

 

After Netease Cloud Music launched the "song list", other music playback platforms also launched similar functions. Even Cool Dog Music opened the "song barrage" in June 2016, and user comments appeared on the cover of songs in the form of barrage, further improving user interaction. However, the users of Netease Cloud Music are more active. In the ranking of monthly traffic consumption of music App users in China Unicom’s March Wo Index, Netease Cloud Music users lead other music platforms with 87MB, while QQ music users’ monthly traffic is 43MB and Cool Dog’s is 13MB.

 

change 

 

Last year, changes in Netease Cloud Music attracted the attention of the industry.

 

In April 2016, Chloe Wang left Netease Cloud Music and joined Baidu Music three months later as the general manager. At the same time, the structure of Netease Cloud Music was further adjusted. Zhu Yiwen was promoted from the earlier product director to the CEO of Netease Cloud Music, responsible for the overall management of Netease Cloud Music and reporting directly to Ding Lei. Chloe Wang’s previous operation and management work was taken over by Ding Bo, vice president of Netease Cloud Music, who reported to Zhu Yiwen.

 

▲ Ding Bo, vice president of Netease Cloud Music, took over the operation management and reported to Zhu Yiwen.

 

The upgraded Netease Cloud Music has increased its support for independent musicians.

 

"Music also has a niche market. In the past, everyone was keen to listen to those popular songs, but now different people actually like different songs. Just like in the early years, everyone only watched CCTV, but now with the rise of various media and more people like different content, everyone’s tastes have been divided. " Zhu Yiwen said.

 

In November 2016, Netease Cloud Music released an independent musician support plan called "Stone Plan", which plans to invest 200 million yuan in one year to support independent musicians from seven aspects: promotion resources, album investment, performance opportunities, appreciation opening, music training, musicians’ surroundings and musician index system.

 

"Our definition of independent musicians is very broad. As long as we can record and upload songs, we can be independent musicians. However, we will develop a scoring system for such musicians, which is similar to the Baidu Index, and we will promote and support them according to the status and potential of musicians. " Zhu Yiwen said that these musicians can review and upload songs after filling in their personal identity information in the background. If the data of their songs on the platform is good enough, Netease Cloud Music will focus on exploring and creating new stars.

 

This is how Chen Li, a female folk singer, was discovered.

 

"At the end of 2013, we found that Chen’s data curve on our platform was very beautiful, so we focused on taking out her songs for recommendation. Later, sure enough, she was on fire. Of course, I dare not say that her popularity is all due to Netease Cloud Music, but it can be seen that the sales of her digital album here are record. " Ding Bo said in an interview with the reporter of Caijing Tianxia Weekly.

 

As of March 2017, the number of fans of Chen Li in Netease Cloud Music and QQ Music was 870,000 and 749,000. On July 26th, 2016, she simultaneously released her digital album "Little Dream Most" on Netease Cloud Music, QQ Music and Weibo Music. During the initial sale period-within two weeks, the album sold 50,000 copies in Netease Cloud Music, with sales of 1.01 million yuan. On the QQ music platform, it sold 27,000 copies with a sales volume of 549,000 yuan.

 

▲ The sales volume of Chen Li’s digital album in Netease Cloud Music is record. The activity of independent musicians has made Netease Cloud Music make up for the shortcomings of copyright to some extent.

 

Now there are more than 40,000 independent musicians on Netease Cloud Music Platform. This number may not be the largest among all online music platforms, but it is the highest in terms of activity. These musicians uploaded more than 800,000 original music works. In 2016, the number of settled musicians and uploaded original works doubled year-on-year, and the amount of original music played increased by more than five times.

 

"Independent musicians are more likely to become popular on our platform because our user base is more inclusive of new music. This makes it easier for us to promote some unpopular music, and it is this difference that allows independent musicians to get better development here. " Zhu Yiwen said.

 

The activity of independent musicians has made Netease Cloud Music make up for the shortcomings of copyright to some extent. As a latecomer, although Netease Cloud Music has gathered a popular community through the music+social mode, it still lags behind in terms of song copyright.

 

On July 15th, 2015, QQ Music announced the merger with China Music Group, becoming the largest exclusive copyright giant in China, which brought a lot of pressure to the latecomers.

 

At present, there are more than 10 million songs in Netease Cloud Music Library. Some of these songs are copyrighted by record companies, while others are purchased by Tencent in the form of exclusive copyright, and they need to pay distribution fees or copyright fees to Tencent.

 

Regarding the weakness of copyright, Ding Bo reflected: "Our biggest mistake is that these giants didn’t make timely moves when they went to grab exclusive copyright, which led us to be constrained by others in the future growth rate, but we also took a positive attitude to deal with this situation. We undertook distribution and paid copyright fees, hoping to bring users a better experience."

 

In order to fill the copyright shortcomings, Netease Cloud Music costs a lot.

 

Zhu Yiwen said: "At present, 80% of the total cost of Netease Cloud Music is spent on purchasing copyright." High copyright fees have delayed the profit plan. Since its establishment, Netease Cloud Music has never made a profit.

 

And the emergence of independent musicians let them see another opportunity-from copyright competition to copyright production.

 

On the one hand, they can make profits by selling digital albums. For example, Zhao Lei’s album "Can’t Grow Up" sold more than 200,000 yuan, which brought more than 3.2 million yuan to Netease Cloud Music. This album, which has no physical record and is only sold in digital form, is low in cost, low in price, convenient to buy and sell, and easy to create high sales.

 

On the other hand, they can cooperate with independent musicians and become record companies in the internet age.

 

In an interview with the reporter of Caijing Tianxia Weekly (ID:cjtxzk), Ding Bo said: "Traditional record companies use brokers to help musicians create songs, while the Internet platform can cover all brokers’ businesses. Besides traditional brokers, Internet companies can also help musicians make various data and provide various index reports."

 

Netease’s ambition for "original music" is obvious. Since it can’t surpass its rivals in the copyright of existing songs, why not overtake them in the "original music"?

 

In addition to selling digital rights, they will also open an "appreciation" function for independent musicians. Users can appreciate a favorite song, which may not be much, but it is an encouragement for musicians who have just debuted.

 

Under the situation that competitors monopolize copyright, this way of upstream and downstream development has become the new direction of Netease Cloud Music. In addition to promoting independent musicians, they also invested in music-related hardware manufacturers and undertook ticket sales for some small concerts.

 

At the same time, other music platforms are undergoing a new round of integration.

 

QQ Music and China Music Group merged to become Tencent Music Entertainment Group, with Tencent accounting for 60% of the shares. At present, this huge music group controls 42% of the copyright authorization of music lyrics and 53.1% of the copyright authorization of music recording in China. After the merger, QQ Music, Kugou and Kuwo belong to the same group company, with a market share of more than half.

 

On July 26, 2016, 10 days after the merger was announced, Wu Weilin, general manager of Tencent Digital Music Department, told the media that QQ Music "has achieved profitability", which is the first music streaming service in the world to announce profitability. It is reported that QQ Music will launch a listing plan with a valuation of nearly $10 billion.

 

In December 2015, Baidu Music announced the merger with Taihe Music Group, whose three major music brands, Taihe Wheat Field, Haidie Music and Dashi Copyright, reached various forms of cooperation with hundreds of well-known artists, and also reached in-depth cooperation with more than 100 institutions including the three major record companies in the world, holding music copyrights of more than 12 million through self-production and agency. Baidu Music has officially become a music industry chain company including record companies, copyright agents, live performances, ticketing and other businesses.

 

Netease cloud music, which has reached the front line with a dark horse posture, will face more challenges in the future.

 

But Zhu Yiwen still regards finding good music as the focus of Netease Cloud Music.

 

"I am not a heavy music lover, but I am a music discoverer." Zhu Yiwen said, "In 2013, Boss Ding took me and Chloe Wang to an activity. On the way, Chloe Wang asked us to listen to a song, saying that this song would definitely be popular in the future. At that time, I thought the lyrics were very distinctive, including wild horses and grasslands."

 

After listening to a song, Boss Ding agrees with Chloe Wang’s judgment. Later, this song was really a fire.

 

The singer’s name is Donye.S, and the song title is Miss Dong.

Revealing the new network telecom fraud means. It was all in the middle of the night.

CCTV News:I didn’t lose my mobile phone or bank card, didn’t scan the QR code or click the SMS link, and when I woke up, the money in the bank card was gone. Some time ago, we reported the case of suspects using "sniffing" technology to steal bank cards from a distance. However, recently, Anhui police informed that several citizens in Chuzhou have encountered such a new type of online fraud.

In the early morning of July this year, Yang Xiao, a citizen of Chuzhou, Anhui Province, was awakened by the vibration of his mobile phone. In just a few minutes, he received more than a dozen SMS notifications of bank card consumption deduction. The content of the SMS showed that his bank card spent more than 50,000 yuan.

Victim Yang Xiao:The first one is 999 yuan, and then more than a dozen pens are brushed, all of which are 4999 yuan. The display time is from the early morning until after five o’clock in the morning.

At that time, Yang Xiao’s mobile phone was beside him and his bank card was not lost.

Victim Yang Xiao:The first reaction is that there is a virus in the link of the ordinary mobile phone. The mobile phone is placed next to it and the card is on the body. This kind of stolen brush has never been encountered.

After confirming that the money in the bank card was indeed brushed away, Yang Xiao rushed to the public security bureau to report the case. After reporting the case, he realized that there were already many victims like him, and the bank card was stolen late at night.

Yan Bo, Investigator of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Economic Development Branch of Chuzhou Public Security Bureau:Basically, it is from two or three o’clock at night to before six or seven o’clock in the morning. The victims are all asleep, and their mobile phones are silent and vibrating.

Chuzhou police immediately set up a task force. After several rounds of research, tracking the source of signals and the flow of funds, finally, the police locked the suspect Song, who had been transferred to Hefei, and arrested him in July. According to Song’s confession, the victim’s money was stolen by him and his associates using sniffing technology. On the day of the arrest, he was still using sniffing equipment and was ready to continue committing crimes.

Subsequently, according to Song’s confession, the police arrested all other suspects involved. At this point, a criminal gang that used "sniffing" technology to steal other people’s bank cards was uprooted.

According to the police, the most crucial link for criminal suspects to steal bank cards from a distance is that they can intercept other people’s mobile phone messages by using sniffing equipment. So how does this sniffing device work?

Suspect Song:This USB flash drive acts as a mobile interception system. Those mobile phone devices are eavesdropping devices. Because 2G is not encrypted, we are equal to being an eavesdropper. Because it is not encrypted, we can intercept it in the middle.

These seemingly crude devices in front of us are the sniffing devices used by suspects to intercept short messages from nearby residents. According to Song, as long as this device is started, the background can automatically scan the mobile phone numbers of residents within about one kilometer around. Once these mobile phone numbers are in the state of 2G network, the short messages received by residents’ mobile phones are likely to be displayed on the suspect’s computer simultaneously. Using sniffing equipment, they can intercept hundreds or even thousands of short messages a day. At the scene of the arrest, Song also gave a demonstration. About ten minutes after the sniffing device started, they received more than a dozen text messages on their computers, including mobile phone numbers, text messages and so on.

Suspect Song:Interception of mobile phone 2G SMS, or when mobile data is not turned on, has an 80% probability of interception.

Using "sniffing" equipment to intercept other people’s short messages is only the first step in committing a crime. In order to successfully steal a bank card, the suspect needs to obtain more personal information of the victim.

The reason why the suspects choose to commit crimes in the middle of the night is because most of the victims are already asleep at this time, and even if there is abnormal information on the mobile phone, it is difficult for them to find it in time. According to the police, because the suspects can intercept mobile phone messages, they use the mobile phone number+verification code to log in to some third-party software to find other personal information of the victims. However, some websites and apps still have certain technical loopholes. The suspect can easily obtain the victim’s name, ID number, bank card number, etc. by some simple hacking methods, and with the mobile phone verification code intercepted in real time, he can directly steal the money in the victim’s bank card.

It is by this means that Song and others have successfully committed more than 60 crimes in many provinces across the country in just a few months. At present, the suspect has been criminally detained by the police according to law, and the case is being further processed.

Protect personal information to prevent mobile phones from being sniffed

Using "sniffing" equipment to steal bank cards from a distance sounds terrible, but it doesn’t mean that criminals can do whatever they want. So how do we guard against it?

According to the police, in daily life, if you find that your mobile phone signal suddenly drops to 2G and you receive a short message verification code from an unknown source, it is probably scanned by criminals using sniffing equipment.

Yan Bo, Investigator of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Economic Development Branch of Chuzhou Public Security Bureau:We can temporarily turn off the mobile phone or turn on the flight mode so that our mobile phone can’t receive short messages for the time being, which makes it impossible for the sniffing device to intercept short messages in real time.

In addition, after intercepting the short message, the suspect also needs to obtain the personal information of the victim from the third-party software in order to steal the bank card. Therefore, everyone should protect their personal information, especially sensitive information such as ID number and bank card number, and don’t disclose it easily, leaving an opportunity for criminals.

Perceive the change of "Three Summers"! "Hometown of Wheat" Colorful wheat has high value and connotation.

  CCTV News:May 20th is the full day of the 24 solar terms. At this time, the wheat is full of filling and enters the late stage of milk ripening, but it is not fully mature, just "small enough to be full", so it is called Xiaoman. From childhood to maturity, it is one of the busiest stages of farming in a year, and summer crops in various places begin to be harvested one after another.

  The main producing areas welcome a bumper harvest, and Henan, the largest wheat province, has a bumper harvest in sight.

  Summer grain is the mature grain in the first season of the year in China, and its output accounts for more than 20% of the annual grain, most of which is winter wheat. In 2024, the area of 11 major winter wheat producing provinces increased steadily, and the growth of wheat was generally better than normal, laying the foundation for a bumper harvest. At present, wheat has not been harvested in a large area in the Huang-Huai-Hai wheat area, where the output accounts for more than 80% of the country, but the processing market, agricultural machinery market and trading market have been busy. In Henan, due to the growth of food processing enterprises in 2024, the demand for high-quality wheat flour also showed an increasing trend.

  Henan is located in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain, and its perennial wheat planting area is more than 85 million mu, ranking first in the country. In terms of geographical conditions, the topography of Henan province is high in the west and low in the east, and the area of plains and basins suitable for large-scale agricultural cultivation reaches 93,000 square kilometers, which provides a good prerequisite for large-scale cultivation of wheat.

  From the climate point of view, Henan is located in the middle of China, and sufficient light and heat resources provide favorable conditions for wheat planting. At the same time, the Yellow River, Huaihe River, Haihe River and other water systems also provide a guarantee for agricultural irrigation, making Henan a well-deserved "hometown of wheat", accounting for about a quarter of the national wheat production.

  Henan is not only a major province of wheat production, but also a major province of wheat processing, producing one third of instant noodles, one quarter of steamed bread, three fifths of glutinous rice balls and seven tenths of dumplings.

  The number of food processing enterprises increases, and the demand for wheat flour increases.

  Luohe is one of the important gathering places for wheat processing in Henan. In 2024, there were 237 food industrial enterprises above designated size, 40 more than in 2023. In addition, these enterprises introduced new products every year, so the demand for high-quality wheat flour as the main raw material showed an increasing trend.

  Unified seed supply and unified management to ensure that the quality of stored wheat reaches the standard

  In order to ensure that the quality and yield of high-quality wheat can reach the standard stably, the consortium introduced social service organizations for unified seed supply and management.

  Perception of "Three Summers" Change from Processing Market

  At present, Henan wheat field is in the calm before large-scale harvest, but around the listing of new grain, farmers, cooperatives and processing enterprises have long been active. What are the new changes in 2024?

  As the wheat harvest approaches, this flour processing enterprise in Wuyang County, Luohe City has been busy.

  Yang Shuai, head of the enterprise, said that the biggest change in 2024 is that the planned harvest of high-quality wheat is much more, which was 18,000 tons in previous years and may exceed 40,000 tons in 2024. Because a single variety of high-quality wheat needs special collection and storage, he has to vacate more independent warehouses and special vehicles to keep the wheat from being mixed and ensure the purity.

  Luohe is one of the important gathering places for wheat processing in Henan. Take the flour mill where Yang Shuai is located as an example, they meet the individual flour order demand of 28 food production enterprises, and according to these demands, they are transformed into seven specific high-quality wheat varieties, and then 53 cooperatives cooperating with the flour mill are guided to order planting by appropriately raising the purchase price. In this way, the demand for new products such as moon cakes, shrimp slices, Shaqima and spicy strips in the downstream of the industrial chain has been transformed into seven wheat varieties in the upstream of the industrial chain.

  In Luohe, there are already seven such wheat industrial chain complexes. In order to ensure that the quality and yield of high-quality wheat can reach the standard stably, the consortium introduced social service organizations for unified seed supply and management.

  Different from the plots under unified management, because of extensive management and mixed planting of different varieties, the wheat is uneven in height and the quality can not meet the processing requirements of special flour.

  In recent years, driven by the whole industrial chain, Luohe has continuously guided large grain growers to increase production and income through standardized planting of high-quality varieties.

  It is understood that in 2024, the area of high-quality special wheat in Luohe City reached 1,268,900 mu, accounting for 53.3% of the local wheat area, ranking first in Henan Province.

  Do a good job in cross-regional operation support and disaster prevention and reduction

  These days, wheat in Henan has entered the late filling stage, and it is expected that a large area will be harvested around May 25th, and the wheat harvest will last until June 15th. In just about 20 days, how to ensure that more than 85 million mu of harvest is available and the particles are returned to the warehouse?

  2024 is the first year of China’s wheat yield increase action. Henan province focuses on increasing wheat yield per unit area, and promotes the integration of fertile fields, improved varieties, good methods, good opportunities and good systems. At the same time, in the high-standard farmland built-up area, we will focus on building 7 million mu of high-yield demonstration areas for wheat, integrate and promote high-yield technologies, and build a good harvest foundation.

  During the "Three Summers" period, Henan plans to invest more than 4 million sets of agricultural machinery, including 200,000 sets of combine harvesters and 30,000 sets of crawler harvesters.

  In view of individual lodging plots caused by recent extreme weather, Henan has formulated remedial measures as soon as possible, sent technicians to the front line for guidance, and sprayed potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution to promote wheat filling and minimize losses caused by disasters.

  At the same time, in order to prevent the impact of extreme weather during harvest, Henan also supports various business entities to speed up the construction of grain drying facilities. At present, 580 drying facilities have been built, with an additional daily drying capacity of 37,000 tons.

  "Three Summers" Science Popularization: Colorful Wheat with High Value and Connotation

  When it comes to wheat, most people may think of yellow, but there is actually more than one color of wheat. Follow the doctor of agriculture to meet the colorful wheat with high value and connotation.

  Xu Hao, a doctoral student in crop science at the Agricultural College of Henan Agricultural University, said that colored wheat is similar to ordinary wheat in appearance, but its grain color is not Huang Chengcheng in the traditional sense, but red and green. This is not late-maturing wheat, it has entered the filling stage and will be harvested in more than 20 days.

  These are new varieties of colored wheat which are suitable for large-scale planting through a series of breeding methods such as physical mutagenesis, chemical mutagenesis and distant hybridization. Because they are rich in anthocyanins, they will show different colors on the seed coat.

  Why study colored wheat? We are not interested in its showy appearance, but it is rich in protein, amino acids, trace elements and minerals, which are higher than ordinary wheat, and it has the potential to make people eat delicious and healthy!

  These noodles and cereals made from it still look like traditional food, but they already have the function of health food. It is no exaggeration to say that they have high value and connotation!

Industry 4.0: Three Directions of Digital Supply Chain

  Focus on cutting-edge scientific and technological innovation and upgrading of traditional industries

  The Industrial 4.0 Revolution sweeping the world has affected almost every industry, including the supply chain management of all industries.

  In the past, supply chain management was a headache for all industries, because the traditional supply chain involved a lot of fuzzy and inaccessible data, which swallowed up cost, time and patience like a "black hole". Industry 4.0 will give birth to a new digital supply chain and realize more complex and streamlined supply chain management.

  Digital supply chain is an important direction of industrial solutions and business processes in the future, including not only logistics, warehousing, transportation, but also engineering, research and development, manufacturing and asset management.

  With the application of many innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and blockchain in the supply chain, the traditional supply chain management is rapidly moving towards digitalization, intelligence and controllability.

  1. Cross-platform asset tracking that connects everything

  At present, GPS positioning is a mature technology with low price and low management cost, which is widely used in various fields. Through sensors connected to various assets or vehicles, the location and general time planning of assets can be obtained.

  Enterprises can track assets through bar codes and tracking numbers, and know where products and goods are being shipped. However, this kind of tracking and monitoring is far from accurate, and it will still bring many problems and inconveniences.

  For example, after shopping on the e-commerce platform, the logistics information shows that "the courier is delivering the goods", but we can’t know whether the courier will deliver it within the next hour or within three hours.

  In the industrial field, this inaccurate or delayed logistics distribution will bring some confusion to the production of enterprises, and even cause the production line to stop. Especially for manufacturers who pursue zero inventory, zero inventory not only refers to the timely delivery of final products, but also includes the inventory management of raw materials and equipment needed for production.

  Therefore, more accurate asset tracking technology will be an important direction of digital supply chain in the future. Hans Thalbauer, senior vice president of SAP, said, "We should not only create connections for goods, but also create connections for business partners. We need to connect not only suppliers, but also suppliers of suppliers. "

  The future digital supply chain should not only connect all links in the supply chain, but also connect all factors that affect logistics distribution, such as weather, natural disasters, road infrastructure, regional economy and even political influence, so as to minimize risks.

  For example, last year’s hurricane, which caused great damage to the American economy, affected the distribution of some suppliers’ goods, causing some automakers to shut down production. If we can get the news from the supply chain that "my supplier’s factory in Japan is affected by the earthquake and will stop production in the next two weeks", manufacturers can purchase products from suppliers in other parts of the world in time.

  2. Timely production and forecast monitoring

  As early as several decades ago, Toyota Motor Corporation initiated the concept of just in time to alleviate the problem of lack of cash, land and large inventory. Through the accurate management system, the response time of suppliers is shortened and the investment in process inventory is reduced.

  But the basis of timely production is that all parts and raw materials must arrive on time. On the automobile assembly line, the shortage of any part will affect the normal production of the production line. If the distribution of parts is delayed, it may lead to product quality problems or even downtime; If the delivery is too early, the factory is not ready to receive it, which will increase the cost of inventory management.

  In order to meet the production needs of large manufacturers, OEM will have strict delivery response time to ensure that parts can arrive at suppliers on time. However, this will bring great production pressure to suppliers. On the one hand, suppliers have to invest a lot of money in expedited transportation, and at the same time, in order to avoid the penalty of downtime caused by delayed transportation, suppliers must also maintain a certain amount of spare parts inventory.

  Therefore, timely production can improve the production efficiency of OEM manufacturers, but it will lead to low efficiency of suppliers, thus increasing the cost of parts.

  This requires the future digital supply chain to have the machine learning ability of real-time prediction. Through digital connection, it can realize predictive quality management, predictive manufacturing and predictive maintenance, improve the efficiency of production and distribution, and reduce costs.

  3. Blockchain and traceability

  The advantages of security, trust, traceability and controllability make blockchain one of the most potential new technologies. By creating a safe and transparent ledger system, all relevant stakeholders in the supply chain, such as manufacturers, retailers, logistics service providers and regulatory agencies, are brought into the same management platform, making the whole management process credible and transparent.

  In recent years, many start-ups that use blockchain technology to reshape supply chain management have been born. At the same time, traditional logistics giants have also begun to explore the application path of blockchain.

  For example, the shipping giant Maersk cooperated with IBM to develop the TradeLens blockchain platform, aiming at improving logistics efficiency and simplifying the documentation of global container transportation. After testing, the handling capacity of shipping documents is reduced by 10 times, and the transportation time is reduced by 40% on average. At present, nearly 100 partners around the world have joined the platform.

  Through opening up, blockchain technology can effectively prevent price fraud, transportation delay and payment delay, eliminate middlemen and effectively reduce transaction costs.

  In the industrial field, although the blockchain is still in the experimental and exploratory stage, once it is deeply integrated with industrial production, it will play an important role in future industrial production and digital supply chain.

  In the future, all kinds of new technologies will allow us to look at every link of the whole supply chain more rationally from the digital point of view, and help us to continuously improve our production, analysis, maintenance and forecasting capabilities.

  As Hans Thalbauer, Senior Vice President of Supply Chain and Internet of Things of SAP Company said, "This is a digital mirror. It is the digital twin of products, the twin of assets and a mirror of the world. This allows us to start the dynamic adjustment process. We hope to create a digital mirror image of the real world in this environment. "

Financial observation: trade policy is "fiercer than tiger". American enterprises are miserable and embarrassed

  Xinhua News Agency, Washington, June 13 th, financial observation: Trade policy is "fiercer than tiger" and American enterprises are miserable and embarrassed

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Xu Yuan

  The destructive trade policy of the American government is becoming the biggest threat to the development of American enterprises. In recent days, from enterprises to trade associations, from large companies to small and medium-sized enterprises, business people have criticized the US government’s protectionist measures.

  On behalf of 661 American enterprises and trade associations, the American lobbying organization "Tariffs Hurt the Hinterland of the United States" sent a letter to US President Trump on 13th, urging the US government not to impose tariffs on goods imported from China, and to return to the negotiating table to reach a solution with China.

  The open letter warns that American enterprises and trade associations are worried about the situation of tariff escalation. The increase in tariffs and the uncertainty surrounding Sino-US trade negotiations have caused market turmoil and posed a threat to the US economy.

  According to the survey released by the Business Roundtable composed of executives of large American enterprises on the 12th, the "Economic Outlook Index" fell by 5.7 points to 89.5 points in the second quarter. This index reflects the sales expectations, capital expenditures and recruitment plans of American business executives for the next six months, and shows that American business circles are increasingly uneasy about the direction of US trade policy.

  "(The US government’s trade policy) is increasing the risk of bad economic results," said Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase and chairman of the Business Roundtable at the press conference that day. "The uncertainty of trade policy, the weak global economic growth and the inaction of the US government on other urgent public policy issues are worrying."

  Tom Linebarger, chairman and CEO of Cummins, an American engine manufacturer, said that "trade (policy) is the most terrible threat to enterprise growth". He said that imposing tariffs on China’s goods exported to the United States would increase consumers’ costs and reduce the competitiveness of American enterprises.

  American financial data software company predicts that due to the uncertain tariff policy and global economic prospects, for those multinational companies whose sales are more than half from outside the United States, their profits in the second quarter may drop by 9.3%. The company expects that Apple’s profit may drop by 14.6% in the second quarter, and Boeing’s profit may drop by as much as 43.7%.

  The U.S. government previously announced that the tariff rate on the $200 billion list goods imported from China will be increased from 10% to 25% from May 10, 2019. The U.S. government also threatened to impose a 25% tariff on the remaining about $300 billion of goods exported from China to the United States, involving many end consumer goods.

  Lorraine Hutchinson, an analyst at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, predicts that tariff escalation will lead to growth risks for American retail enterprises such as clothing. According to the semi-annual survey recently released by institute for supply management, about 59% of American enterprises indicated that increasing tariffs would lead to higher product prices. Wal-Mart, an American retail giant, also said that tariffs will force it to raise the retail price of goods.

  Tariffs not only hit large enterprises, but also make life more difficult for small enterprises. USA Today reported a few days ago that the negative impact of tariffs has exhausted the energy of many small American enterprises because their cost digestion ability is worse than that of large enterprises. Adjusting the supply chain will cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, which is unbearable for many small enterprises.

Dare to try, dare to break through, and change independently! Ten-year exploration of free trade zone leads to a new pattern of opening up

  In September 2013, the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone was formally established and set sail. In September 2023, the construction of China’s Pilot Free Trade Zone ushered in its 10th anniversary. Starting from Shanghai’s 28.78 square kilometers, it has been continuously expanded to about 38,000 square kilometers. In the past ten years, after six expansions, there have been 21 free trade zones and Hainan Free Trade Ports across the country, forming an innovative pattern of reform and opening up covering the east, west, north and south, and coordinating the coastal, inland and border areas, which has effectively explored and accumulated valuable experience for comprehensively deepening reform and opening up.

  Ten years of hard work has yielded fruitful results, and it has accumulated a lot of brilliance. In the past ten years, the Pilot Free Trade Zone has launched a large number of basic and pioneering reform and opening-up measures in line with international common rules, formed many landmark and leading institutional innovations, cultivated a number of internationally competitive industrial clusters, stood at the forefront of China’s high-level opening-up, actively served major regional strategies, coordinated regional development strategies and jointly built the "Belt and Road", and achieved remarkable results.

  In the past ten years, a total of 302 institutional innovations have gone from the China Pilot Free Trade Zone to the whole country, and more than 2,800 have been promoted and copied by various provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, giving full play to the demonstration, leading and driving role of the Pilot Free Trade Zone, forming a good situation of sharing reform dividends and opening up the fruits to all. In 2022, the actual use of foreign capital in 21 pilot free trade zones was 222.52 billion yuan, accounting for 18.1% of the country. Among them, the actual use of foreign capital in high-tech industries was 86.34 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 53.2%. The total import and export volume of 21 pilot free trade zones reached 7.5 trillion yuan, up 14.5% year-on-year, accounting for 17.8% of the country; In the first half of this year, 21 pilot free trade zones accounted for 18.4% of the country’s foreign investment with a land area of less than four thousandths, and the actually used foreign capital reached 129.66 billion yuan, an increase of 8.2% year-on-year.

  Since its establishment, China Pilot Free Trade Zone has been guided by high-level opening, and has made great efforts to explore an institutional system linked with international economic and trade rules. It has also made important breakthroughs in trade, investment, finance, and transformation of government functions, including taking the lead in implementing the national treatment plus negative list management model before foreign investment access, taking the lead in establishing a trade facilitation model centered on the "single window" of international trade, taking the lead in promoting the comprehensive opening of the service industry represented by the negative list management model of cross-border service trade, and taking the lead in implementing the "license separation". … In the past ten years, a number of firsts have been practiced and explored in the Pilot Free Trade Zone and copied to the whole country, creating a vivid model of China’s opening up and development, becoming the "vanguard" leading the country’s deepening reform in the new era, injecting stabilizers and providing new impetus for China’s economic stability and prosperity.

  Bold trials, bold ventures and independent reforms, the fruitful results achieved in the Pilot Free Trade Zone in the past ten years come from innovation and opening up. Through a series of pioneering practices, the Pilot Free Trade Zone has continuously promoted the liberalization and facilitation of trade and investment and continued to lead the opening up. Since 2013, the negative list of foreign investment access in the Pilot Free Trade Zone has been reduced seven times, from 190 to 27 today, realizing the clearing of manufacturing items and the continuous expansion of service industry opening. Hainan Free Trade Port launched the first negative list of cross-border service trade, which realized the fundamental change of service trade management mode.

  In addition, 21 pilot free trade zones across the country actively strengthened collaborative innovation, explored and promoted coordinated development, amplified the comprehensive effect of reform, and achieved positive results. For example, Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Pilot Free Trade Zone established the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei joint conference system, launched 153 items of "colleagues with the same standard" in government services, and implemented regional general office to serve the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei. Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui Pilot Free Trade Zones have established the Yangtze River Delta Pilot Free Trade Zone Alliance to create a mechanism for seeking common development, promoting innovation and sharing results, and achieved institutional innovation results in building a "single window" for international trade in the Yangtze River Delta and building an integrated oil and gas trading market. The Yellow River Basin Pilot Free Trade Zone Alliance will be established along the nine provinces of the Yellow River, and four cooperation mechanisms will be established, including "integrated construction" of social credit system, "integrated management of administrative examination and approval services", "integrated cooperation" of intellectual property protection and "integrated and smooth logistics and transportation services". Guangxi Pilot Free Trade Zone actively builds the most convenient seaport in the western region, effectively strengthens the connection with the backbone channels in southwest, northwest and central south, and serves the western development. Yunnan, Guangxi, Heilongjiang and other pilot free trade zones along the border plan to jointly promote the development and opening up along the border. The joint development of these pilot free trade zones has expanded the breadth and depth of institutional innovation, enriched the application scenarios of free trade policies, and expanded the dividend effect of free trade.It is of great significance for improving the efficiency of reform and innovation, serving to build a new development pattern, and effectively supporting the high-quality development of the free trade pilot zone.

  Standing at a new starting point in ten years, the Pilot Free Trade Zone has ushered in new tasks. At the end of June this year, the State Council issued a document, taking the lead in conducting pilot projects in five qualified free trade pilot zones and Hainan Free Trade Port, such as Shanghai, Guangdong, Tianjin, Fujian and Beijing, connecting with international high-standard economic and trade rules, promoting institutional opening, and exploring ways for comprehensively deepening reform and opening up. The Ministry of Commerce will also work with relevant localities and departments to formulate a list of key tasks in the Pilot Free Trade Zone, clarify 164 key tasks to be independently promoted by the relevant pilot free trade zones in the next three years, further strengthen classified guidance, and promote the deepening of reform, practice and innovation in each pilot free trade zone according to local conditions.

  Sharpen a sword for ten years and stride forward again. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the construction of China Pilot Free Trade Zone, and it is also the first year to implement the "strategy of upgrading the Pilot Free Trade Zone". On the new journey, on the basis of comprehensively summing up ten years’ construction experience, we should thoroughly implement the promotion strategy of the Pilot Free Trade Zone, carry out exploration in a wider field and at a deeper level, and strive to build a higher level pilot free trade zone. For example, we should speed up the pilot work of comprehensively docking international high-standard economic and trade rules, and further promote the institutional opening of rules, regulations, management and standards; Promote a reasonable reduction of the negative list of foreign investment in the Pilot Free Trade Zone, promote the introduction of a negative list of cross-border service trade, and lead the country to continue to expand and open up; Strengthen the overall planning and system integration of reform, thoroughly implement the upgrading strategy of the Pilot Free Trade Zone, and focus on launching a number of leading and integrated reform measures in key areas; Support their respective trade pilot zones to further deepen differentiated exploration and promote the innovative development of the whole industrial chain around key areas … … Let the seeds of institutional innovation in the Pilot Free Trade Zone take root and bear fruit nationwide, promote economic growth to rely more on innovation, and lead China’s high-quality economic development!
